make a decision based on how much money they have.

other operating supplies; they are personnel costs directly attributable

and Atlantic Avenue regarding signs in an arcade, which is not an
enclosed mall. Presently, they allow a face sign on a strip center;
however, he questioned what they would do if there are several stores
which do not front the outside of the arcade. He would like staff to
consider this and look at whether it may be appropriate to fit it into
one of these Sign Code amendments, rather than entertaining something
special. They may want to place this on an upcoming workshop meeting.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
12.a.1. Mark David, 1700 Dover Road, stated he is one of the people who
is involved in the five committees of the citizen participation effort
in the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the
five elements are only five of the nine required elements. The Depart-
ment of Community Affairs will scrutinize the submission of the Compre-
hensive Plan in relation to citizen participation. He feels they may
-4- 8/9/88
172
receive some criticism from DCA as to why the four other elements were
not included~ The other four are land use, transportation, inter-
governmental coordination and the capital improvement program. He
requested that the Commission consider this as being very important in
the eventual submission to DCA; perhaps they can add another four
committees for these very important elements.
12.a.2. Henry Davis, 709 S.W. 2nd Terrace, stated his community is
having a problem regarding the conditions of their homes and they can
get no help from the City Building Official. He presented the Commis-
sion with a letter from the 14 homeowners and requested that they look
into the matter.
Mayor Campbell stated they will look into this matter and
either the Commissioners or City Manager will get back to him.
12.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that several months ago they looked
into rezoning the Sherwood Park Plaza, which is currently zoned SAD;
however, there were some rumors of a pawn shop going in there and the
applicant decided not to pursue the rezoning. He questioned if, with
the consensus of the Commission, they could give staff direction to
revisit this item. There is a new development in the area and he feels
this may warrant them looking into whether they want to rez6ne Sherwood
Park Plaza something other than Commercial or SAD.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels that staff should determine
whether or not this needs to go back to the P&Z Board for a recommenda-
tion. They could bring this up at the next workshop meeting after staff
researches this and has a consensus opinion of where they want to go
with it.
12.b.2. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the recreation field on Block 48
allows free play and until several months ago this did not pose a
problem. However, now there have been several incidents where adults
are taking advantage of the children. He feels they need to have staff
look into this to see how they can coordinate the playing activity.
12.b.3. Ms. Horenburger stated there is a proposal to put a sidewalk on
Casuarina Road and some of the residents have asked that they take a
look at the possibility of making this a one-way directed east road and
having a bike path. She would like to either workshop this or have
staff come back with a report as to the feasibility.
12.b.4. Ms. Horenburger stated, with regard to screen porch construc-
tion, that they too often see members of the public running into prob-
lems where the screens are either illegal within the setback, the
permits are pulled incorrectly or the contractor is fly-by-night and the
people are victimized. She feels they need to either have some setup
where the Board of Construction Appeals looks at this or they look at
the people doing business in the City of Delray Beach.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz stated there is some difficulty
with them independently licensing companies as they have to honor the
State licenses which are granted. However, he will look into this.
12.b.5. Ms. Horenburger stated they have recently annexed a lot of
properties and she feels they need a policy, on a fairness basis, with
regard to the nuisances on those properties, whether they be buildings,
billboards or vendors. They should give the owners of the property
notice that they have X amount of time to do something about the nui-
'sance and, if they do not meet it by the deadline, they will be cited.
12.b.6. Ms. Horenburger stated she feels they need to get all the facts
together and workshop the subject of fluoride in the water.
12.b.7. Ms. McCarty stated there was a meeting with some business
merchants, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and DOT and they
had some questions about whether or not the bridge needed to be repaired
this soon or could it wait until after the season. DOT relayed that it
had to be done immediately. Out of that meeting, it was established
that they would put a stop work order out the day before Thanksgiving
and that the bridge would be open for business for Thanksgiving and
-5- 8/9/88
173
through the season. They also requested that the City send a letter
stating they-would waive any ordinances which would prohibit work from
being done 24 hours a day; this would allow the schedule to condensed
even further. They intend to contact the City Manager with their
schedule on August 16th. She has been asked by the Chamber of Commerce
to ask the Commission for a consensus to direct the City Manager to
write the letter.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. Huffs, from Kay Henderson's
office, called him this afternoon and he told Mr. Huffs that the mer-
chants did not want anything less than something in writing assuring
them of the position. Since the contract has not been signed or let, he
told Mr. Huffs that they would prefer to have something in the contract.
He can see no reason why this cannot be done.
The City Manager advised the waiver of the noise ordinance will
be advertised.
12.b.8. Ms. McCarty stated the Commission received a memorandum from
the City Attorney concerning the proposed ordinance regarding code
enforcement and the maintenance of yards, landscape areas and walls.
She questioned if it is the consensus of the Commission to put this on
for first reading.
Mayor Campbell stated they could put this on the workshop
agenda next week and then have it on the next regular meeting for first
reading.
12.b.9. Ms. McCarty stated that in the Manager's report on July 29th he
referred to the Homewood Boulevard improvements and advised that he
would be making a recommendation for award of a contract at tonight's
meeting.
The City Manager stated while he anticipated doing this, there
has been some development with the neighborhood association immediately
adjacent to the improvement.
Frank Spence, Interim Director of Development Services, advised
that staff met with both the homeowners associations in the area to hear
their concerns. They were concerned about the drainage and wanted storm
sewers instead of swales. Also, the widening of the road would call for
possible acquisition of additional land and, definitely, the removal of
existing landscaping. Staff also approached them to see if they wanted
sidewalks. The feedback from the homeowners was that they did not want
sidewalks behind their property. The City is willing to go along with
the storm sewers and they now have to redesign the paving project to add
curbs in the median strip to be installed at the same time as the
landscaping project. This project will be paid for out of the County's
Impact Fees and not the City's. They expect to be back to the Commis-
sion within thirty days.
Mayor Campbell stated that he was at the meeting and they will
have a sidewalk; however, it will not be apart from the street and set
back, but will be adjacent to the curb and everyone agreed on that.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mayor Campbell advised they
had originally committed City funds to do some drainage improvements
and, economically, they were going to be of the swale and French drain
type. In the course of this project moving through, it became apparent
that there was also going to be some widening and there were some County
funds available. Since the City is no longer going to bear the impact
they can also acco~nodate the interest of the residents.
12.b.10. Upon question by Ms. McCarty as to when the landlord permit
ordinance with respect to enforcement will be amended, the Assistant
City Attorney advised it will probably come back to the Commission at
their August 23rd meeting.
12.b.ll. Ms. Brainerd questioned the status of the homeowners newsletter
she suggested be started. The City Manager stated the Commission should
have received a copy. The first issue went out and was mailed to about
20 groups.
-6- 8/9/88
174
12.b.12. Ms. Brainerd questioned, with regard to the moving of the home
for Susie Russell, if it is their intention to go ahead and move the
house after the ordinances are waived later this month.
Lula Butler advised in order to put the house on the lot it
required them to make application to the Board of Adjustment for a
variance. The application has been prepared and will go on the August
25th agenda. The contract was received today from the contractor and
the house has been scheduled to be moved on August 26th.
Ms. Horenburger stated she thought they were going to try and
waive the statutory requirements of the Board of Adjustment and move
along more quickly.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised the Commission has the
power to waive ordinances where there is no other variance procedure
applicable; however, there is the Board of Adjustment and they are not
meeting until August 25th. If they went ahead, the City would be
violating their own Codes.
Ms. Horenburger stated they should move the house and then go
to the Board of Adjustment.
The City Manager stated if the Commission is so inclined they
can move in that direction.
12.b.13. Ms. Brainerd stated, in accordance with direction at Visions
2000, and the State's requirement for trash recycling, she has looked
into this and spent a day in Tallahassee reviewing a pilot program which
the State has authorized. She would like the consensus of the Commis-
sion to workshop the issue of trash recycling and, perhaps, have a
presentation made for them by the City's present trash hauler. She
would like to see them implement a pilot program.
Ms. Horenburger stated she believes there is a pilot program
that the Solid Waste Authority has in West Palm Beach. She would also
like to see them discuss hazardous materials.
It was the consensus of the Commission to workshop this item.
12.b.14. Mayor Campbell stated clarification may be needed that the
additional police officers and code enforcement officers, as proposed in
the budget, are recommendations to deal with the annexed areas and are
not necessarily an increase to the existing City.
12.b.15. Mayor Campbell stated he has continually received complaints
about the Marina Delray and the Commission received a memorandum from
the City Attorney regarding this. Apparently, the owners are continuing
to operate in a manner which defies any logic and he feels they should
proceed as quickly as possible with the law suit. He would also like a
complete, updated list of all the current code violations.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised this has been noticed for
trial and they are waiting for word on a trial date. He would antici-
pate a date within the next six to nine months.
12.b.16. Mayor Campbell stated they recently discussed the improvements
to Lake Ida Road, between Congress Avenue and Swinton Avenue, and also
Germantown Road which factored into neighborhood improvements. The
County expressed an interest in both projects; however, because of
budgetary considerations they do not have the money. He would like the
administration to immediately schedule another meeting with the County
Administrator or Engineering Department so that they can, effectively,
lobby those back into the current road program.
The City Manager stated he has a meeting scheduled within the
next week regarding Lake Ida Road and he will use the opportunity to
discuss 10th Street also.
12.b.17. Mayor Campbell stated they had a workshop meeting regarding
code enforcement about two weeks ago and the City Manager was to give
the Commission a specific time frame of implementation.
-7- 8/9/88
175
Frank Spence advised that the memo has been issued from the
City Manager 'to begin implementing all the items; however, he does not
recall a request for a time schedule. He will get a report on the
timing prepared for the Commission.
12.b.18. Mayor Campbell advised that he talked with the City Manager
regarding the Kettlehut beautification project and he indicated that if
they worked with all the City agencies involved, including the City
Attorney's Office, that it could be started two weeks sooner.
The City Manager stated it would involve holding a special
meeting to award a contract. Mayor Campbell requested that the City
Manager confirm this in the form of a memo.
12.b.19. Mayor Campbell advised he received notification from Mr.
Kettlehut regarding matching funds. The State Municipal League report,
which came out last month, indicated that the Legislature had funded
$1.5 million for matching funds for beautification of roadways. He
believes Mr. Kettlehut is going to apply for those funds and he would
like an update on what they can expect.
12.b.20. Mayor Campbell reported he spoke with Mr. Kovacs regarding a
planning and zoning problem and he would like the consensus of the
Commission to move forward on it. He has seen a lot of small homes
being built on 50 foot lots and, essentially, what they are doing is
paving the front yards to meet the parking requirements. He would like
to pass this on to the P&Z Board for their consideration.
It was the consensus of the Commission to send this to the P&Z
Board for their consideration.
12.b.21. Mayor Campbell stated he is getting tired of looking at the
sand lot on Linton Boulevard, next to' Carney Bank. He requested that
something be done and would like a report back in no later than two
weeks to see if they can get some grass there. AlsO, there are high
weeds on all the vacant tracts, along Linton Boulevard.
12.b.22. Mayor Campbell noted the Commission had delayed discussion of
the West Atlantic Avenue problem and the City Manager had some meetings
with local leaders regarding this. He would like some kind of report as
to when it might be appropriate for discussion again,
The City Manager stated it could be placed on the next workshop
agenda.
12.b.23. Mayor Campbell reported there are two items which will be going
to referendum in November; the first is with regard to the proposed
Impact Fee, allowing the County to override the cities, and the second
is the Traffic Performance Standards. The Municipal League will be
discussing and voting on these items at its September 14th meeting. If
the Commission is going to officially vote on an opinion they must
discuss this in advance and take a formal vote on each issue. Also, he
has an excellent letter from the Mayor of Lantana addressed to Carol
Elmquist and he would like this letter and any other information put
together for the Commission to discuss at a meeting so they can vote on
the issues prior to September 14th.
The City Manager stated he is preparing a response to the
County Administrator's request regarding impact fees. They could
discuss this on August 23rd.
Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to
hold a special workshop meeting on August 25th or 26th.
12.c. There were no Non-Agenda items by the Assistant City Attorney.
12.d.1. The City Manager stated he would like to suggest that they have
a special meeting next Tuesday regarding the CRA. Following that, they
could also have a number of workshop items.
12.d.2. The City Manager stated the Commission has been furnished a
copy of a letter regarding the Auburn Trace request for an extension and
-8- 8/9/88
176
he would like to make this Item 33.A. They also have a letter-from the
Old School Square requesting a line of credit and he would like to make
this Item 33.B.
12.d.3. The City Manager stated the Commission has before them a letter
from the Director of Public Utilities regarding the SCRWTD Board agenda
items to be discussed at the meeting scheduled for Thursday evening.
13. Mayor Campbell stated if the City Manager would like the
C~mmission to vote on both items he added to the agenda they will have
to deem that they are ~emergencies. With regard to Auburn Trace, if they
do not vote the time extension would expire and, therefore, that is
deemed an emergency. With regard to Old School Square, it is an emer-
gency in order that they can begin their funding process.
Mayor Campbell requested that Item 37.C. be removed from the
Consent Agenda and placed at the end of the Regular Agenda. Mr.
Weatherspoon requested that Item 37.A. be removed from the Consent
Agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve the agenda, as modified,

motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz stated that within the ordinance
they have a waiver provision. His office has some concerns about the
waiver as there is no criteria which has yet been established and,
therefore, there is the potential that they could face an equal protec-
tion standard should it be applied.
Mayor Campbell questioned, if they do not do any waivers until
they amend the ordinance later to add criteria, is there any problem
with the ordinance as presently constructed. Assistant City Attorney
Kurtz stated he does not believe so.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
REGULAR AGENDA
26. Iandimarino Rezonin~. The Commission is to consider a request
from Dominic J. IandiMarino to rezone 1.105 acres north of Lindell
Boulevard between Dixie Boulevard and Federal Highway from RM-10 to GC.
Denial is recommended until such time as the properties are consolidated
into a single legal parcel.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he cannot understand why a Unity of
Title could not be submitted.
Bruce Kalita, representing the apPlicant, stated that Mr.
IandiMarino has mortgages in excess of $300,000 on these four lots.
Each one is subject to a separate mortgage which contains a clause
requiring that the owner not impair the security of the lender. In the
event that a Unity of Title were executed, abolition of the lot lines
would result and the security interest in the lots would be impaired.
Mr. IandiMarino would then probably be faced with action by the bank to
force him to pay off and refinance the mortgages. He feels that if
this were requested it would be contract zoning because it would require
the execution of a collateral document affecting the lands in a manner
not expressly contemplated in a rezoning process. If they can do
something which does constitute a unified plan of development they will
be back before the Commission with such a plan.
Ms. Brainerd stated she firmly backs Mr. Kovacs request and
agrees with his recommendation.
Ms. Horenburger stated that Mr. IandiMarino has come to the
Commission to ask for a rezoning of property, which is currently resi-
dential, to commercial. She does not feel this is contract zoning if
the City takes the position that the zoning is appropriate at RM-10 but
they would consider the possibility of zoning it to commercial if the
properties were tied together.
-14- 8/9/88
182
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz stated that he understands they
are here tonight for direction concerning potential rezoning. Rezonings
are done through ordinance and it is voting on that ordinance when they
would actually make their decision. The Commission would be better
advised to consider this more formally through a rezoning ordinance and
to vote on that.
Mr. Kalita suggested that, if they cannot resolve this, they go
on to the ordinance reading process and resolve it there.
It was the consensus of the Commission not to move forward with
regard to the rezoning; however, if the applicant wants them to have a
formal process done they are obligated to do so and the ordinance will
be prepared for the August 23rd meeting for action.
27. Change in the Zon.in~ Map - Miller Field. The Commission is to
co~sider a City'initiated change in the zoning map for Miller Field from
R-1AA and RM-10 to CF. Approval is recommended.
It was the consensus of the Commission to ask staff to proceed
and prepare the appropriate ordinances.

the appointment of a member to the CRA to a term ending July 9, 1990.

the appointment of a member to the Delray Beach Housing Authority to a

contrary to the memo received, this is to fill the unexpired term of
Michael Plum, not to replace Leonard Syrop.
Ms. Horenburger moved to appoint Jeanette Slavin as a member to
the Delray Beach Housing Authority to a term ending July 14, 1992,

1989.
Mayor Campbell stated that in all their contracts they usually
allow some kind of an out in the event something should happen. He does
not recall seeing one in this contract.
Kathy Daley advised she spoke with the City Attorney's Office
about putting the termination clause in when the final contract is
signed; it is the same thing which was in last year's contract.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Assistant City Attorney Kurtz
stated the contract language and form was approved last year by. the
Commission; they can simply plug in the new dates and amounts and use
the same format as last year.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the proposal on the same
format as was executed last year for Legislative Consultant Services,

They expect to receive the grant receipts from the State during Septem-
ber and will then pay back the line of credit. The potential interest

37.A. Replacement.of Sanitary Manhole No. 6A (Hamlet Subdivision) -
Southern Pipeline - $11,500.
-16- 8/9/88
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned how this figure was derived and if
it is the best price.
The City Manager advised this was an emergency repair done in
the Hamlet. The Purchasing Agent was on-site with the Public Utilities
Director and verified that it needed to be repaired so that they could
avoid imminent additional damage to the system. It was on that basis
that the repairs were authorized. The amount obviously exceeds the
administrative level of $10,000; however, under the emergency provisions
of the Code, this procedure is permitted.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he is concerned that the work was done
before it was brought to the Commission's attention, even though it was
an emergency. He is also concerned that they only obtained one quota-
tion. The City Manager stated he will find out what was done in terms
of additional quotations.
Upon question by the City Manager, Assistant City Attorney
Kurtz stated he is not sure that they have had a formalized policy. He
knows there have been situations where emergencies were taken care of,
the repairs were done and then the Commission ratified the action.
Mayor Campbell stated that perhaps they need to address this,
particularly when they get into items in excess of a certain dollar
figure.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve a contract to Southern
Pipeline, in the amount of $11,500, for replacement of sanitary manhole
No. 6A (Hamlet Subdivision), seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger -
Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
37.C. Chan~e Order No. 1 - Atlantic Avenue Beautificati.on Pro~ect -
Charles S. Whiteside, Inc. - $4,205.
Mayor Campbell stated that he is not sure where the trees.are
going; however, he does not want to find them on any rights-of-way. He
suggested that they should be placed in areas which could really use
them, such as Barwick Park, the Cemetery, Carver Estates or the Golf
Course.
The City Manager advised that the trees have been placed on the
lot near the Cason Cottage. Mayor Campbell requested that they take
into consideration the four places he mentioned as appropriate deposito-
ries.
Ms. Brainerd moved to approve Change.Order No. 1, to Charles S.
Whiteside, Inc., in the amount of $4,205, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon
