Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 30, "ZONING", OF THE

-3- 3/24/87
(Copy of Ordinance No. 22-87 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida.
The City Attorney advised that the Commission has been fur-
nished the correct version of the ordinance.
Bob Chapin stated he thought this matter was resolved two weeks
ago and it was the consensus of the Commission that they wished to
proceed with the ordinance but allow the owner and the three lessees to
remain there until the last lease expired on October 31, 1989. One of
the leases expires in 1987, two in 1988 and one in 1989. He feels it
would be very unfair and impartial to evict the family whose lease
expires in 1987 and not the others. He would ask that the Commission
pass this ordinance uniformly.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 22-87 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
The City Attorney advised that the ordinance which was fur-
nished the Commission tonight has effective date language in it which
would require each of the live-aboards who violate the ordinance to
leave as their leases expired. Mr. Chapin is proposing that all the
people stay until November 1989, no matter how soon their leases expire.
Mr. Bird stated his understanding of the discussion when this
was first brought up was that they should not, in any way, violate the
leases as they existed. He finds that request and the language con-
tained in the ordinance to be consistent.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned what kind of difficulty it would
present if they were to consider Mr. Chapin's proposal. Mayor Campbell
stated it is his understanding that the reason they were giving the
grant was to honor the leases.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels there are three options; they can
either terminate all the leases as of the earliest date, strike a mean
of all the leases, or take the longest date. His understanding of
previous discussions was that the leases would terminate as they came
up.
Mr. Bird stated he is not sure how much longer he is prepared
to have City land used to make someone $350 per slip per month. He
agrees with Mr. Chapin's request that they should allow the contracts to
come to their logical end; however, he does not agree that they should
extend them on the basis of some kind of fairness.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
10. Ordinance No. 24-87 - Chan~i~g the City's Land Use Plan Desig-
nation (Lehman). Ordinance No. 24-87, relative to changing the City's
Land Use Plan Designation in the Comprehensive Plan for a 2.317-acre
parcel from MF-10 (Multiple Family) to C (Commercial), located on the
south side of Lindell Boulevard, between U.S. Highway 1 and Dixie
Highway and repealing Ordinance No. 90-86, is before the Commission for
consideration on Second Reading and Second Public Hearing. Prior to
consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading,
a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 24-87:
-4- 3/24/87
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 90-86 IN ITS
ENTIRETY; CHANGING THE CITY'S LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION
IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR A PORTION OF THE PLAT OF
TROPIC PALMS NO. 1, AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 25, PAGE 99
OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA,
TOGETHER WITH A PORTION OF BLOCK 7 OF DEL RATON PARK,
ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK
14, PAGES 9 AND 10 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH
COUNTY, FLORIDA, FROM MF-10 (MULTIPLE FAMILY) TO C-COM-
MERCIAL. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF LINDELL BOULEVARD, BETWEEN U.S. HIGHWAY NO. 1 AND
DIXIE HIGHWAY; AMENDING THE LAND USE PLAN; PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 24-87 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida.
Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, stated that a change to the land
use plan would leave the site open for the establishment of an auto
dealership. The Land Use Plan Committee recommended that there should
be no more auto dealerships in Delray Beach. Delray Beach is considered
a haven for dealers from all over the south of Florida and he objects to
this.
Rosetta Rolle, President of the Delray Beach Voters League,
stated that the Voters League would like to see light industry in the
City so that there is some sort of employment for the youths.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 24-87 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - No;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she is not in favor of this parcel
being kept residential, she is in favor of it becoming commercial.
However, commercial can mean many things, not just auto dealerships, and
her vote has nothing to do with dealerships.
Mr. Dougherty stated he has in front of him three versions of
the notice of change of the land use and there are inconsistencies in
each one. He pointed out the differences in each one. He stated that
he feels the entire notification is defect and, therefore, subject to
challenge. He feels it would be appropriate to reconsider the whole
issue and do everything properly.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, the City Attorney advised that he
agrees with Mr. Dougherty that there are differences between the adver-
tisement which was submitted from the City Clerk's office and the one
that actually got published. However, he does not believe that any of
the things are a violation of the Statutory or Code of Ordinance proce-
dures. It is his opinion that even though there are differences, they
are not substantial enough so as to deprive the public of sufficient
notice of the land use change.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, the City Attorney stated that
it is not illegal for someone to publish a notice if it is done with the
knowledge and/or consent of the City; however, it is improper. If the
change resulted in a deficiency in the notice then it would be a problem
for the City.
-5- 3/24/87
Mr. Dougherty stated that there are deficiencies and it is up
to the Commission to decide whether or not they are of substance or not.
In his judgment, there is sufficient cause for anyone to bring suit
against the City and challenge the authenticity of the advertisement.
Mrs. Horenburger stated her problem with this is the newspapers
role in this situation by taking a request for a change without author-
ization from the City. She feels they should look at their advertising
procedures to ensure that no one, except someone authorized by the City,
can make any sort of change.
Mayor Campbell suggested that perhaps the City Clerk could
write a letter to the offending paper to make sure it does not happen
again.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
11. Ordinance No. 25-87 - Lehman Rezoning. Ordinance No. 25-87,
relative to rezoning a 2.317-acre parcel from RM-10 (Multiple Family
Dwelling) District to SC (Specialized Commercial) District, located on
the south side of Lindell Boulevard, between U.S. Highway No. 1 and
Dixie Highway and repealing Ordinance No. 91-86, is before the Commis-
sion for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. Prior to considera-
tion of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public
hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 25-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 91-86 IN ITS
ENTIRETY; REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED RM-10
(MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT IN SC (SPECIALIZED
COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT, A PORTION OF THE PLAT OF TROPIC
PALMS NO. 1, AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 25, PAGE 99 OF THE
PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY FLORIDA, TOGETHER

THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 14,PAGES 9 AND
10 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA.
SAID LAND IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LINDELL BOULE-
VARD, BETWEEN U.S. HIGHWAY NO. 1 AND DIXIE HIGHWAY, AND
AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1983".
(Copy of Ordinance No. 25-87 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida.
The following people spoke in opposition of the rezoning:
Leonard Syrop, Robert French, Helen Coopersmith, Jean Beer, John Malloy,
Art Ellerholtz and Marion MacLeod.
The following people spoke in favor of the rezoning: Arthur
Jackel, John Jackson, Tom Haenlon, Alan Orr and Mrs. McCue.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 25-87
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote. (Note: Mr. Dougherty recast his vote
from a "No" to a "Yes" after the roll was called).
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty stated he is opposed to this rezoning simply on
the basis that it is downgrading.
-6- 3/24/87
Mrs. Horenburger stated she does not feel it is an appropriate
place for the parcel to be residential as it is on Federal Highway.
However, she is not in favor of the SC zoning and would rather see GC.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he disagrees with Mr. Dougherty that
this is a downgrading of the area. It is consistent with what is
already there and would be in favor of the rezoning.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
32. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval - Lehman Auto Dealer-
ships. The Commission is to consider a request for conditional use and
site plan approval for Lehman Auto Dealerships, a proposed automobile
sales and service facility consisting of four separate dealerships,
located on the west side of South Federal Highway, between Lindell
Boulevard and the C-15 Canal. The Planning and Zoning Board and Acting
Planning Director recommend approval, subject to the following condi-
tions:
Technical and Code Requirements
1. The required five (5) foot concrete sidewalk shall run through the
driveways.
2. Since this development will be accomplished on a phased basis

3. Each phase must stand on its own in terms of parking, etc.
4. Show improvements 125 feet off-site.
5. Reconstruct and landscape new openings and closures of Lindell
Boulevard median. Curb at median opening if none presently exists.
6. A paving, grading and drainage plan which provides for one inch (1")

permits.
7. An "on site" traffic plan for the entire site plan shall be submit-
ted to and approved by the Engineering Division prior to any build-
ing permits. The traffic plan, both on site and off site shall

Community Appearance Board.
10. Meet with the City and Tropic Palms to determine "ownership" of

12. That all signs be approved by the Building Department and CAB.
13. That all improvements be completed in accordance with the approved

14. This approval will expire within eighteen (18) months unless at
least twenty-five (25%) percent of the total cost of improvements
are made by that time. If the approval expires, request for exten-
sion must be made in accordance with Section 30-22(E) of the Zoning
Code.
Roger Saberson, representing Mr. Lehman, stated he feels this
site is one of the better locations for an auto dealership. The Plan-
ning and Zoning Board felt that the proposed zoning was consistent with
the County pocket land use study and compatible with surrounding exist-
ing zoning and uses. Mr. Lehman instructed him to prepare a memo, which
he would sign, stating that he would cooperate and alleviate a number of
-7- 3/24/87
concerns which the citizens expressed. Some of those concerns are that
he would not use loud speakers on the site, there will be no demonstra-
tion rides through residential areas, vehicles will not be parked with
their hoods open and a number of other things.
Mark Marsh, Digby Bridges, Marsh & Associates, presented a
rendering and outlined the uses of the proposed site plan.
William Lehman stated he was told when he came to this communi-
ty that the place they wanted auto dealerships was on Federal Highway
between Linton Boulevard and the Boca line. He presented some photo-
graphs of the property and how it looks right now; he asked the Commis-
sion to look at what is there now, and what he is proposing and vote for
this project.
Bob Rossman, President Ex Officio of the Andover Civic Associa-
tion in Miami, stated that Mr. Lehman's dealership in Miami is in their
area and when he came in many of the citizens voiced the same concerns
as he is hearing tonight. They met with Mr. Lehman and found him to be
very amenable and a man of his word; whenever there is any problem which
concerns his property he has addressed it very quickly.
John Thomas, Jr., representing the West Side Community Coordi-
nating Council, stated they very strongly support Mr. Lehman's project
being in Delray Beach. They need a commercial enterprise which is
tasteful, profitable and the provider of a great number of jobs.
Annetta Baldwin, attorney representing the WSCCC and the NAACP,
stated that they support the presence of Lehman Motors in Delray Beach.
The City can no longer afford to exist as a resort town catering to a
privileged few. They need to expand the tax base and introduce light
industry and tasteful commercial enterprise. Lehman Motors have met
with citizens to answer questions and compromised where they might not
have had to do so. The Commission has to be concerned with the good of
the entire community.
Kathi Sumrall, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board,
stated that later on tonight the Commission will be looking at an
ordinance for the automobile dealerships. This ordinance has been in
draft form for 14 months. Mr. Lehman's dealership was reviewed under
this ordinance with one exception - the lighting. As this ordinance
will be approved on first reading, after Mr. Lehman's site plan approv-
al, she would like the Commission to have some sort of reservation in
their motion that whatever is decided on with the lighting, Mr. Lehman
will follow.
Paul Smith, 924 Jasmine Drive, gave a slide presentation, on
behalf of 3,000 residents, showing the residential communities surround-
ing the proposed project. He advised that between Linton Boulevard and
the C-15 Canal there are 14 brand name new and used car dealerships and
the Commission is considering adding four more. He stated that they do
not want any more dealerships in this area and requested that the
Commission not vote for this project.
The following people spoke in favor of the project: Scott
Chiernan, John Levitz, David Cohen, Carmen Williams and Kayhart Pender.
The following people spoke in opposition of the project: Salon
Ziegler, John Vislocky, Dick Reinhart, Jean Beer, Marion MacLeod and
Brent Carper.
Mr. Bird moved for conditional use and site plan approval for
the Lehman Auto Dealership, subject to the conditions of the Planning
and Zoning Department's memorandum and that Mr. Lehman will comply with
the new lighting requirements, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Dougherty stated what this issue boils down to is whether
or not the Commission is going to serve the majority of people in the
City or a special interest. He feels that the property could be devel-
oped with many other things other than an auto dealership which will
also create employment. He stated that they have discussed, in the
past, that all conditional uses such as this one should include the
-8- 3/24/87
provision that it would comply with the City's industrial waste and
pretreatment ordinance.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include that Mr. Lehman will
comply with the industrial waste and pretreatment ordinance, Mr.
Weatherspoon amended his second.
Mayor Campbell stated he will be supporting this application;
however, that does not mean that he is not sympathetic with the people
who have expressed fears about past abuses and whether the City is going
to try and control this issue. He stated that he is going to ask again
that the Planning and Zoning Board readdress the issue of SC zoning and
terminating it on property anywhere in the City. Mayor Campbell stated
that he has some additional conditions which he would like the maker of
the motion to accept and then he would be willing to vote in favor of
this project: (1) they will fully comply with the new automobile dealer
ordinance, (2) that there will be no pole signs on the property, (3) the
lighting will comply with the new standards which will also control, to
some degree, the hours of operation, (4) except for the frontage, he
would like a tree line all the way around the property which will create
an impervious view of the site plan, (5) there will be no test driving
on any residential street in Delray Beach, (6) that they limit the
project to only phases I and II, until they have a better chance to look
at the impact of this size of a dealership and what it will do to the
adjacent properties and (7) that they add and be responsible for the
additional beautification and maintenance on the median adjacent to the
property.
Mr. Lehman stated he will agree to all the conditions except
for two; his landscape architect has just told him that it is impossible
to provide an impervious row of trees and he will agree to meet the code
with regard to signs, however, he has to have them.

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida.
Kathi Sumrall, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board,
stated that when this was brought before the Board they decided that
they would like for boat sales to be in a completely enclosed building.
Those changes were made and are included in the ordinance.
The public hearing was closed.

Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes;

Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he has a problem with having the boats
completely enclosed as it is adding an extra cost and burden to the
owner.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Mrs. Sumrall stated that they are
asking for a completely enclosed building for both storage and display.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
13. Ordinance No. 29-87 - Amending Zoning Code - Proposed Residen-
tial Uses in Commercial Zoning Districts. Ordinance No. 29-87, amending
Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances to permit single family
residences in certain commercial zoning districts, is before the Commis-
sion for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. Prior to considera-
tion of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public
hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
Mr. Bird moved that Ordinance No. 29-87 be postponed to be
heard under the public hearing items on April 14, 1987, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird -
Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
14. Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of February 24, 1987 and the Special Meeting of February 17,
1987, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
15.a.1. Mrs. Horenburger advised that there will be a fundraiser held
on Saturday, April 4th, from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., at the West Park
Baptist Church for a young lady called Kimberly Hanna who is suffering
from leukemia.
15.b.1. The City Attorney stated that two questions have arisen and he
needs some guidance from the Commission for a meeting he has next
Tuesday with regard to the Elementary School acquisition. First, they
agreed to pay to the cost of the installation of utilities, the sum of
-10- 3/24/87
$80,000; the question is, did they agree to just pay $80,000 or were
they responsible for whatever exceeded the $80,000 that the School Board
was going to contribute. It is the School Board's contention that if
the estimate is $170,000 then they would pay $80,000 and the City would
pay $90,000 and if it cost $180,000, then they would pay $80,000 and the
City would pay $100,000. His recollection is that they would contribute
$80,000 as a maximum. The second issue is with regard to the utilities
installation themselves. It was his understanding that the Commission
had instructed him to pay the money to the School Board, i.e., reimburse
them. It is the School Board's contention that the installation of all
the utilities and roadways are to be done by the City, i.e. we let the
contracts and hire the contractors to do the work and the School Board
is to reimburse us the $80,000.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she was involved in the negotiations
and it was discussed that they would split it 50-50. The School Board
also stated that their estimate of $160,000 was high. With regard to
the utilities installation, it was her understanding that the School
Board was interested in letting those contracts with the others which
they were doing.
Mr. Bird stated he feels that the School Board might be in a
better position to fastrack this than the City is; they can make a
factual finding of an emergency which we cannot in their behalf.
It was the consensus of the Commission that their position is
that they will split the cost 50-50 and will contribute, if necessary,
the monies up front. Also, the School Board will do the letting of the
contracts.
Richard Kurtz, representing the School Board, stated that what
they normally do is that the School Board will install the water and
sewer lines and they pay the engineering share of what they are contrib-
uting to those lines.
Mr. Bird stated the issue here is that the school will have to
have water in seven months and the School Board wants it done as quickly
as possible. The City is not unwilling to take the responsibility for
the engineering; however, they feel the School Board, given the facts
and their needs, can make a declaration of emergency and waive whatever
requirements need to be waived in order to expeditiously get this done.
The City cannot do that for them. He suggested that the School Board
undertake the responsibility and hire the City to do the job so that
they can take advantage of their ability to waive certain requirements
to get it done quicker.
15.b.2. The City Attorney stated that the Housing Authority has re-
quested that his office institute the conveyance of the property which
the City acquired from the Arch Diocese of Palm Beach. There has never
been authorization from the Commission to effect that transfer.
Mr. Bird moved that the land received from the Arch Diocese be
transferred to the control of the Delray Beach Housing Authority,
seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
15.c. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City Manager.
15.d.1. Kathi Sumrall requested that they move Item 41 up to the front
of the regular agenda.
Mr. Bird moved that they reconsider the agenda, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird
- Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mr. Bird moved that Item 41 follow Items 36 and 43 at the
beginning of the Regular Agenda, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty
-11- 3/24/87
- Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
15.d.2. Robert McCullough, 1885 N.W. 9th Street, stated he lives in a
community which has been forced to have a wall built around it to
protect their properties from vandalism. He owns property on Lake Ida
Road which is constantly being vandalized and has been forced to employ
off-duty police officers to apprehend the parties involved. He stated
he is a concerned citizen and feels that crime needs to be the number
one focus in the community.
15.d.3. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated she would like to remind
the Commission about the dedication ceremony of the Barwick Park Fitness
Trail which will be held March 27th at 10:00 A.M.
CONSENT AGENDA
The following items were considered by the Commission as the
Consent Agenda:
16. Request for Solicitation of Funds - Veterans of Fore.ign Wars,
host No. 4141. The Commission is to consider approving solicitation of
funds from May 22-30, 1987 and November 7-14, 1987. Approval is recom-
mended.

18. Final Plat Approval - South Castle Townhomes. The Commission
is to consider a request for final plat approval for South Castle
Townhomes, a proposed five unit townhouse project, located at the
southeast corner of Avenue "L" and Frederick Boulevard. This is a
replat of Lots 72 through 78, inclusive, Block 32, Del-Raton Park. The
Planning and Zoning board and Acting Planning Director recommend approv-
al, subject to the following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements
1. Provide name and address of Subdivider on plat.

property line to the end units. The proposed plat shows 25.20 feet
from the east and 51.39 feet from the west, therefore, the lots
sizes for Lots 1 and 5 would not coincide or exceed slab area.

'tions for Automobile Dealerships and Related Uses. Ordinance No. 27-87,
amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to
establishing special regulations for automobile dealerships and related
uses, is before the Commission for consideration on First Reading. If

The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 27-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING CHAPTER 30, "ZONING", OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY
AMENDING SECTION 30-12 "SC (SPECIALIZED COMMERCIAL)

PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER
CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 27-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Kathi Sumrall, Chairman of the P&Z Board, stated that there is
one small part of the ordinance that they wish changed before it goes on
to public hearing; that has to do with Item E on page 5, the exterior
lighting. The Planning and Zoning Board met with a lighting consultant
on Friday and were quite well informed on how lighting works. They
would like the wording changed to the following:
-13- 3/24/87
Exterior lighting shall not exceed 25 feet in height, shall be directed
away from adjacent properties and shall be cut-off lumenaire, shall
confine light to site only and shall not exceed, when measured, 10 feet
inside any property line, the following:
(1) 100 foot candles within display areas
(2) 40 foot candles within all other areas
(3) After 11 P.M. the same measurement shall be as follows:
(a) 50 foot candles within display area
(b) 40 foot candles within other areas
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mrs. Sumrall stated they
explained to the lighting consultant that they wanted to give the
dealers some display lighting but that he should keep in mind security;
they wanted the lights cut down after 11:00 P.M. but still have enough
for security.
Mayor Campbell stated that he feels it may be a good idea if
the consultant could give the Commission something in writing as a
reference point.
Mr. Dougherty stated that one lumen per square foot is equiva-
lent to one foot candle. The National Highway Standards for major
arteries requires one foot candle. Therefore, what they are looking at
in this ordinance is something 100 times that of the lighting require-
ments on major arteries.
Mrs. Sumrall stated that the consultant explained to them that
the 100 foot candle will be on site and if they use the cut-off
lumenaire it will not bleed over onto the street.
Mr. Bird stated that it does not appear to him that the light-
ing issue is a part of the caption, and therefore, they have a couple of
weeks where Mrs. Sumrall and her expert can provide them some additional
fine tuning for that section without it interfering with them getting to
second reading. He suggested, if the maker of the motion agrees, to
make the amendments that Mrs. Sumrall has recommended, go ahead and pass
the ordinance on first reading, fine tune it during the two week interim
and make any other changes which may be necessary in order to meet some
of the comments which have been made - which it doesn't appear as though
anyone is here to address specifically.
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his motion as suggested by Mr. Bird,
Mr. Bird amended his second.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated there is nothing in the ordinance to
prohibit the testing of the vehicles in residential areas. After
talking to Mrs. Sumrall, he found out that they intended for a paragraph
to be in the ordinance to address the issue.
Mrs. Sumrall stated they did mean for that to be included. At
the P&Z Board level, with the citizens group from Tropic Isles, they
requested that and they (P&Z) said they had no problem with it.
Mr. Bird questioned where you would put it within the body of
the ordinance. Mrs. Sumrall suggested that it go under General Res-
trictions on Use and Operation.
The City Attorney advised it would be a new sub sub-sub-
paragraph (f).
Mr. Bird stated if Mr. Weatherspoon would accept, he would
suggest that that chapter have an additional paragraph added to it which
states that dealers are prohibited from using residential streets for
the testing of vehicles after servicing, and for the testing of vehicles
during demonstration.
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his motion as suggested by Mr. Bird,
Mr. Bird amended his second. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
-14- 3/24/87
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 1 vote.
43. Ordinance No. 37-87 - Amending Code - Loud Speakers and Public
Address System. Ordinance No. 37-87, amending Chapter 16 "Offenses -
Miscellaneous" of the Code of Ordinances relative to outside speakers or
public address system, is before the Commission on First Reading. If
passed, Public Hearing will be held April 14th.
The City Attorney stated that there is an alternative Ordinance
No. 37-87 which was furnished the Commission tonight. The alternate
ordinance provides for the prohibition on outside loud speaker and
public address systems to be applicable to all commercial zoning dis-
tricts, rather than only specialized commercial. Secondly, it provides
for an exception for drive-in facilities and, thirdly, so that there was
some amortization available for the cost of the outdoor loud speakers,
that the enforcement of the ordinance would not take place until October
1, 1987.
It was the consensus of the Commission to consider alternative
Ordinance No. 37-87.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 37-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16, "OFFENSES - MISCEL-

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 35-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Abstained; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion
FAILED by a 2 to 2 vote, with Mrs. Horenburger abstaining.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird stated that if they are doing the job which the State
Statute requires of them, then there is no place for this ordinance.
If they are not doing the job, he feels the ordinance has no benefit to
offer them. If they would zone to the best interests of the City, he
has a problem with the use it or lose it and they would end up creating
more problems than they can possibly solve. He can see no need for this
document as drafted.
Mrs. Horenburger stated there have been some questions from
people with regard to the voluntary conditional rezoning. She feels it
is a good clause to have in the ordinance because they will see re-
zonings where people are going to build and not just rezone and turn the
property over. If they come in under conditions and have a conditional
rezoning request, then the will have some assurance that it will be
built. Anyone who is not willing to come in under those conditions is
going to run the risk of not being approved by the Planning and Zoning
Board and this Commission.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he has some concerns with this ordi-
nance in that if the current system is working as it should, then he
agrees that there is no need for this ordinance. He feels that the key
issue is whether or not the property should have been zoned a particular
zoning in the first place.
Mrs. Sumrall stated that the recommendation as listed on the
agenda is incorrect; the Planning and Zoning Board recommend denial.
The ordinance states that this would permit orderly development of the
-16- 3/24/87
City - they are concerned with the word "orderly". They also have a
problem with the word "voluntary" as they feel that no one would go out
on a limb and do it. If a person felt that comfortable with their
project they would ask for a straight rezoning. The P&Z Board has, over
the past year, been trying to separate site plan approval from rezoning
so that they are not given eye wash and beautiful color pictures to go
with the rezoning request. Basically, they feel the ordinance is almost
contract zoning and they are concerned with the legality of it. With
regard to automatic reversion, they feel that if the Commission does go
forward with the ordinance, they reconsider this. It should not auto-
matically revert back as, in certain circumstances, it may not be
appropriate. The Board feels that, at this point, they should be doing
everything possible to get the Land Use Plan in order and try to live by
it.
Mr. Dougherty stated he would be very happy if they said no to
all rezonings and modifications to the Land Use Plan; however, they
never do that and he sees nothing coming up where they are going to have
the nerve to say no to every rezoning. He feels the use it or lose it
provision is a good one.
Mayor Campbell stated he appreciates the position of the P&Z
Board, however, he feels they do need to have a use it or lose it
ordinance.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she has some problems with this ordi-
nance and would like to discuss it further.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that Ordinance No. 35-87 be placed on a
workshop agenda, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
23. Presentation of Annual Audit for Year Ending September 30,
198'6. Mr. Paul Bremer, Ernst & Whinney, stated that the City has
received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting for the fourth straight year. He briefly outlined the report
and advised that there are no material weaknesses in the City's internal
control and there are no material non-compliance items. He stated he
would like to thank the City Manager and Finance Department for the
cooperation they received.

Zoning Board and Acting Planning Director recommend approval, subject to
the following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements

fined to subject property.
2. Add note to site plan that the effective LI Light Industrial zoning
allows business and professional offices, excluding medical ser-
vices.

Staff Recommendations
6. Any structure located on the outparcel will be required to maintain
a ten (10) foot setback from any driveway.
7. No fast-food restaurant or drive-in shall be permitted on the
outparcel.
8. Any structure located on the outparcel shall be architecturally tied
to the main building and be designed so that the service areas are
appropriately screened from the office buildings, Congress Avenue
and the adjacent driveway to Congress Avenue.
~ity Council Policy
9. That the developer shall contribute fifty cents per square foot for
all office space, to be paid to the City of Delray Beach at the time
of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, in addition to any other
road impact fees otherwise required. The funds shall be placed into
-18- 3/24/87
a Roadway Trust Fund by the City and transmitted to Palm Beach
County upon establishment by the County of a special purpose impact
fee for the creation of additional interchange capacity for Inter-
state-95 within the project's area of impact. Should Palm Beach
County decide not to establish such an impact fee, the funds shall
be used by the City for roadway improvements within the impact area.
10. In addition to road impact fees otherwise required, a contribution
shall be made to the City of Delray Beach to assist in the construc-
tion of two additional lanes on Congress Avenue (i.e., to ultimately
widen the road from four lanes to six lanes) along the frontage of
the property. To ensure that adequate roadway capacity is available
to serve this development in the future, such contributions shall be
made in accordance with the following fair share formula:
(a) # external trips X percent of trips assigned to frontage =
assigned trips (AT).
(b) AT divided by capacity of 2 additional lanes (ie., 14,000 trips
per day) = project percent of additional necessary capacity
(PP) .
(c) PP X cost of 2 additional lanes for 1 mile ($750,000 or other
approved amount) X # miles of frontage = fair share contribu-
tion.
The above contribution shall be calculated for the entire property
and allocated to the building or parcel on a floor area or acreage
basis, or a separate trip generation/assignment calculated on each
building or parcel, at the option of the applicant. Such calcula-
tion must be approved by the City prior to the issuance of any
building permits. The amount so derived for the building or parcel
shall be paid at the time of the first Certificate of Occupancy for
that parcel. Provided, however, that at such time as a contract is
let for the construction of the additional two lanes, the balance of
the total amount due shall be payable to the City by the owner(s) of
the remaining undeveloped tracts, upon thirty (30) days written
notice by the City.

placed on an agenda again.

for sale to Durante-Strock, Inc. until methodology is found to perfect
title or allow an option or agreement for a deed-type situation.
Approval is recommended.
Mayor Campbell stated he believes what Mrs. Durante would like
is for the Commission to extend the contract for seven years and she
will pay them after that time. Because of the title question, she will
take title by quit-claim deed, hold the property, agree to pay the taxes
and then pay in seven years after they get good title by adverse posses-
sion.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.

34. Extension of Waste Management Contract. The Commission is to
consider the extension of Waste Management's contract, under option of
existing contract, to October 1, 1988.
Mr. Dougherty moved to extend Waste Management's contract,
under option of existing contract, to October 1, 1988, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she would like to discuss the
dumpsters. The contract states that Waste Management will maintain the
dumpsters and she questioned what they would do when they start blister-
ing and peeling. She has heard they are going to galvanized dumpsters
and questioned if they could be painted.
A representative from Waste Management stated that paint will
not stick to the galvanized material. The reason they are going to
galvanized is because of the corrosion factor and they will last longer.
With regard to the other dumpsters being painted, he met with Mr. Bauer
of the Code Enforcement Division and told him that if they find any
dumpsters offensive to let Waste Management know and they will paint
them.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that there are still enormous trash
piles all over the City and, in particular, she is concerned with the
ones which have mattresses, sofas, chairs and tables. They have gone
over time, and time again, about the fact that Waste Management will
pick up those items free of charge if someone calls. She still does not
understand why they do not provide that service if someone doesn't call.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she has been opposed to contracting of
essential services and, for this reason, she is going to vote against
this extension.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell as to how the date of October
1, 1988, was selected, the City Manager stated the contract expires on
June 1, 1987. The Commission has the option of extending the contract
for 18 months and they must notify Waste Management 60 days in advance
for that extension. At this time the City is underway with a study,
which has been discussed with the Commission, and it will conclude on
May 30, 1987. It will take a little over a month for staff to collect
and review the information and then the Commission will have two to
three months of discussion on the issue of whether or not the City will
continue contracting this service out or go in-house. The soonest date
-20- 3/24/87
they could implement any change would be in May or June of 1988; he put
October as it is the beginning of a fiscal year.
The City Attorney suggested that the Commission approve the
extension to October 1, 1988, with the caveat that it would contain a
condition that they could cancel sooner, upon 90 days notice.
Mr. Dougherty amended his motion as suggested by the City
Attorney, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
