REGULAR AGENDA
Planning, Development and Engineering
29. Site Plan Approval - Delray Town Center (Pugliese). The
Commission is to consider a request for site plan approval for Delray
Town Center, located at the northeast corner of Linton Boulevard and
Military Trail. The Planning & Zoning Board recommends denial.
Mayor Campbell stated there was a verbal request last week that
this item be scheduled for two weeks from tonight. However, a statement
was made at a P&Z Public Hearing that the meeting was set for tonight
and notices were sent in reliance on that. Site Plans are not normally
Public Hearings but, due to the confusion, the Commission is giving the
public an opportunity to make a statement. It will be given very
thorough consideration. If the Commission desires, they may act on this
item tonight or they may extend or postpone voting until two weeks from
tonight.
At this time the following persons came forward and voiced
their opposition to this item because of a change in what was originally
proposed on the site plan, increased sanitary services, increased
traffic congestion and hazards, an increase in noise and air pollution,
additional vacant retail spaces and increased police protection: Helen
Coopersmith, Norman Ross, Hugh Clinton, IrVing Brandt, Sam Schwimer,
John Adams, Irving Blatt, Robert Fine and Edna Chauser.
Robert Schmier, representing Schmier and Feurring Properties,
developers of the project, stated one reason for the request for the
continuance was due to the fact that the developer understood there was
to be a continuance prior to the notice going out. Also, they have been
attempting to resolve an issue relative to one of the access points and
a right-of-way. They believe the concept of the site plan conforms to
the City Ordinance. This is not a Land Use change, a Rezoning or a
Special Exception. In order for a shopping center to be successful,
there must be an anchor store, which is a department or a food store to
draw the people to the center. At the time Schmier and Feurring agreed
-7- 10/27/87
to become a joint venture with Alfieri-Pugliese, the original site plan
did not indicate there was an anchor store on the site. After speaking
with the food store people and learning their study, as well as that of
the developer, all indications were that this would be an excellent
location, precipitating the site plan revision request.
Mr. Dougherty moved to approve the P&Z recommendation to deny
the request, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated the applicant has requested that this
item be postponed for two weeks. In all fairness, he feels the Commis-
sion has an obligation to honor that request. Therefore, he cannot
support the motion on the floor.
Mrs. McCarty stated she feels the Commission is consistent in
granting continuances or postponements, to allow an applicant sufficient
time to accomplish the necessary tasks in order to comply with the
requests of the City. She cannot support the motion on the floor.
Mayor Campbell stated the request was made to him, but he was
not aware it was to be before the Commission tonight. When it was
discovered a public statement had been made that it would be considered
tonight and notices had been mailed, he felt it to be extremely inconve-
nient to the public to request them not to appear tonight. He had also
spoken to the developer prior to learning the public would be present;
therefore, he feels obligated out of custom and courtesy to allow the
privilege of the postponement.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels all members of the Commission
should have had an opportunity to consider if a postponement was in
order. He feels the developer has indicated no substantial change that
will bring the project back to its original concept. This is a perfect
example of why the "Use it or Lose it" ordinance should be adopted. He
feels this project should move forward only under the original concept
that was proposed, is not in favor of a postponement and feels the
request should be denied.
Mayor Campbell stated the City does have a method of insuring
that a site plan is fully complied with. That method is called Special
Activities District. When there is a vacant parcel of property and the
City wants to tie the hands of a proposed developer to exactly what he
says in his representations, this can be accomplished by a SAD Zoning.
Not only is the site plan approved, with no deviation, but the uses on
the property are specified in detail. He suggested this at the time of
the rezoning, as this is one way to protect the community from situa-
tions such as this.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels that is what was done, even
without the SAD zoning. He feels there is an obligation on the part of
the developer to produce what the City Commission approved.
Mr. Weatherspoon made a substitute motion to continue the item
until November 10, 1987, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mrs. McCarty - 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 she agrees this has been very confusing
for all concerned and she feels it should have been heard tonight.
However, she does not support the site plan but she does support the
postponement.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 8:35 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 8:44 P.M.
23. Policy for Processing of Amendments to an SAD. The Commission
is to receive and file a transmittal of Planning & Zoning Board action
-8- 10/27/87
regarding policy for processing of modifications to SAD. The Planning &
Zoning Board recommends approval.
24. Policy for Processing 1988 Land Use Plan Amendments. The
Commission is to receive and file a transmittal of Planning & Zoning
action setting forth a policy regarding when two allowable Land Use Plan
Amendments will be processed. The Planning & Zoning Board recommend
approval.
Mr. Dougherty requested Items No. 23 and 24 be placed on a
future workshop agenda as there seems to be a difference of opinion
between the Planning Director and legal counsel.
Mr. Dougherty moved to have Items No. 23 and 24 postponed to an
upcoming workshop, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
6. Ordinance No. 81-87 - Amending Zoning Code - Definition of
Family. Mrs. McCarty moved to postpone this item indefinitely, seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels there is an agreement on two
persons per bedroom plus two, but not on the definition of family
itself. Mrs. McCarty stated that is part of the housing code.
The City Attorney advised the existing code now allows two
persons per bedroom. The change in this ordinance other than the two
persons per bedroom is that the methodology of enforcement was prior-
itized. The wording in this particular proposal indicated this would be
looked at first to the exclusion of the former, if complied with. If
the review should be halted at the point of counting two per bedroom
plus two, without having them comply with the definition of family,
potentially it would be more permissive because a group would not meet
the definition of family. However, they would have sufficient bedrooms
to accommodate those persons and eliminate any further inquiry.
Mayor Campbell stated this is an urgent concern to a number of
citizens and requested the Commission to attempt to resolve it as
quickly as possible.
The City Attorney advised if the Commission has no intention of
revisiting the ordinance, he feels it would be best to get rid of it.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
30. Conditional Use and Site Plan - Delray Auto Grooming
(Weatherspoon Car Wash). The Commission is to consider approval of
conditional use and site plan for Delray Auto Grooming, located at N.E.
2nd Avenue and N.E. Second Street. The Planning & Zoning Board recom-
mends approval subject to modification and the following conditions:
a) that if the traffic flow pattern is reversed, the alley
access shall be eliminated and replaced with landscaping;
b) that a Unity of Title be provided prior to applying for a
building permit;
c) that the technical site plan items identified in the P&Z
staff report be incorporated with the "final" site plan;
d) that after six months of occupancy the P&Z Board shall
review the hours of operation and if warranted cause the
hours of operation to be limited; and
e) that the intensity of the use be reduced by the elimina-
tion of one wash bay;
f) that the site plan modifications created by the removal
of the wash bay be reflected in a revised site plan and
-9- 10/27/87
said changes be processed as a "minor site plan modifica-
tion'' .
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that due to a conflict of interest on
this item, he will not be voting. At this time Mr. Weatherspoon left
the Commission Chambers.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Kovacs stated there is
no restriction on hours of operation at this time. Under Conditions of
Approval, Item (d) states that after 6 months of occupancy the P&Z Board
shall review the hours of operation and if warranted, cause the hours of
operation to be limited.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels the hours of operation should
not include the hours from midnight to six or seven A.M. when most
people are sleeping.
Mrs. McCarty stated she has a concern with the hours of opera-
tion from a security viewpoint. Mr. Kovacs stated this matter was
discussed at the P&Z Board, resulting in the addition of Item (d).
Willie Weatherspoon, 1337 S.W. 25th Avenue, stated he respects
the Commission's concern for security; however, he feels this is no
different from places such as the Post Office or all-night stores.
Those persons are very much aware of the risk they are taking when they
visit these places at a late hour. At the same time, there are many
people who work different shifts and he does not feel they should be
denied the opportunity to use the car wash because of a work schedule.
If there is a major concern in the months to come, he is confident the
City will take the necessary action to rectify the situation.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned if the access to the alley remains.
Mr. Kovacs stated it is not a requirement to have it removed.
Digby Bridges, Architect, stated that it will be removed and
the dumpster will be relocated. He feels the only other condition that
should be removed is the water recycling.
Mayor Campbell stated one of the problems he sees with many
businesses, is the aesthetics of lighting. He requested there be no
naked neon bulbs or lighting hanging from the ceiling that will be
visible from the roadways.
Mrs. McCarty questioned if it is necessary to have the hours of
operation as a condition or is it possible to have the potential there
if there is a problem later without being specific with regard to a
review period.
The City Attorney stated a regulatory ordinance could be
enacted requiring all businesses in the GC District to be closed after
6:00 P.M., but as a site plan matter, he has a concern about revisiting
an issue after site plan approval.
Mayor Campbell stated if a problem arises, perhaps a general
ordinance should be addressed on that type of facility, city wide,
saying they shall not remain open beyond 11:00 P.M.
The City Attorney stated another way to accomplish this would
be to make it a condition of the Conditional Use approval and Site Plan
approval. It should be stated that if the facts and circumstances
warrant, based on material gathered between now and six months from this
date, the applicant would be required, as a condition of the Conditional
Use approval, to reduce the hours of operation as set then by the City
Commission. It is possible to regulate the hours of operation of a use
considered to be unique.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the Conditional Use and
Site Plan eliminating Item (d) on Page 2 in the site plan recommendation
and eliminating Item 4, the recycling of the wastewater in the STANDARDS
FOR EVALUATING CONDITIONAL USES AND SITE PLANS, seconded by Mr.
Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
-10- 10/27/87
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Weatherspoon returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
31. Happy Holiday Christmas Trees - Temporary Tents. The Commis-
sion is to consider approval of a request for two temporary tents on a
vacant lot between Dumar Plaza and South Delray Shopping Plaza on South
Federal Highway from November 10th to December 31st. Approval is
recommended.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
32. Revised Water Service Agreement Format. The Commission is to
consider approval of a revised water service agreement format. The
Planning & Zoning Board recommends approval.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to move this item to a workshop meeting
for discussion, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
33. Policy Regarding Processing of Annexation and Initial Zoning.
The Commission is to consider the adoption of a proposed policy regard-
ing the procedures for processing any request for annexation of territo-
ry in the City. The Planning & Zoning Board recommends approval.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
34. Ordinance No. 92-87 - Amending Zoning Code - Increasing Land
Development Application Fees. Ordinance No. 92-87, amending Chapter 30
"Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to increasing the land
development application fees and Board of Adjustment fees, is before the
Commission for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public
Hearing will be held November 10th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 92-87:
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 30-4.5, "LAND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
FEES", BY INCREASING THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR LAND DEVELOP-
MENT PROCEDURES; BY AMENDING SECTION 30-29, "SCHEDULE OF
FEES, CHARGES AND EXPENSES", BY INCREASING BOARD OF
ADJUSTMENT FEES; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A
SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 92-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 0 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
-11- 10/27/87
35. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Byrons
Furniture Plaza - Sign. The Commission is to consider an appeal of the
CAB decision regarding a sign.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, a representative from Byron's
Furniture Plaza, stated they are appealing the decision relative to the
height, the size and the deletion of the bottom line of the sign. The
applicant is agreeing to a reduction in size from 135 to 95 square feet,
but CAB wants it to be cut to 60 square feet.
Digby Bridges, Chairman of the Community Appearance Board,
stated he would like to clarify their decision. The code reads all
persons are allowed the one-half foot per lineal foot of Federal Highway
property, but it also reads the CAB can reduce this if they feel it is
not in keeping with the surrounding properties.
Upon question by the City Attorney if the purpose of the
elimination of the bottom line of the sign was to accommodate the
reduction in size, Mr. Bridges stated that particular wordage, "Com-
plete Home Interiors" is considered advertising in the City of Delray
Beach. The City Attorney advised the line should not be eliminated for
that reason.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels no Board should have the power to
reduce sizes or standards of the code by any percent. Mr. Bridges
suggested the code be amended by setting a definite standard that would
apply to everyone. He feels the CAB has attempted to be consistant in
their approvals.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels the current ordinance is too
subjective and should be reversed with a maximum height of 16 or 17 feet
with the exception being the applicant proving the need for a greater
height.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels the ordinance is subjective
in the fact that there is a maximum height requirement with regard to
the size of the building. The CAB has obviously spent a great deal of
time and effort trying to be consistent with surrounding properties and
she feels the Commission should maintain the recommendation of the CAB.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to uphold the recommendation of the CAB
on Item 35, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Upon learning the CAB recommendation included removal of the
bottom line of the sign, Mr. Dougherty withdrew his second.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Weatherspoon made an alternate motion to support the
recommendation of the CAB except for the requirement of the deletion of
the language.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels this should contain the condition
that the CAB be able to review the sign again.
Mr. Bridges stated he feels the CAB would settle for 80 square
feet in size, leaving the wordage and a maximum of 16 feet in height.
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his motion to reflect the sign be
reduced to a height of 16 feet and a size of 80 square feet, allowing
the line deleted by CAB, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - No;
Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Legal
36. Walker et al vs the City of Delray Beach. The Commission is to
consider settlement offers in the Walker et al vs the City Case. The
City Attorney recommends denial.
-12- 10/27/87
The City Attorney stated this is the remainder of an incident
where a settlement had been made with the driver of a vehicle involved
in the accident. These people, who are part of this lawsuit, were
witnesses to the accident, and were not touched by the vehicle; however,
allegedly moved to get out of the way and injured themselves in the
scramble. The combined settlement offer is $165,000 and it is recom-
mended that the Commission reject it.
Mr. Dougherty moved to accept the recommendation of the City
Attorney, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
37. Pension Plan Opt-Out - Police Chief/Fire Chief. The Commission
is to consider filing a request for formal administrative hearing
concerning Police Chief/Fire Chief Pension Plan Opt-out Ordinance. The
City Attorney recommends approval.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty questioned the purpose at this particular time.
The City Attorney stated the Ordinance was adopted in early
1987 to permit the opt-out of all department heads, who would not become
a part of the respective pension plans but be given the option of being
a participant or a participant in some other deferred compensation. In
the interim, a complaint has been made and Mr. Clayton has stated, in
his opinion, this is not permitted under the requirements of Chapters
175 and 185. The City Attorney stated he disagrees with that opinion.
The choices are to repeal the ordinance enacted previously, to do
nothing, in which case there is the potential they would go forward with
their administration actions which could include state fund cutoffs, or
formally appeal the decision through an administrative hearing procedure
of the State so a hearing officer's decision might be obtained.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if that would affect the other employ-
ees who opt out. The City Attorney stated he does not feel the same
guidelines apply to the general employees, but only the police and fire
pension plan that is affected.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty as to the effect that opt-out
would have on the pension system itself, the City Attorney stated there
would be two additional employees who would not be contributing the six
percent, but on the other hand, it would be two employees who would not
be subject to the payout for pensions or the disability provisions. The
ultimate outcome is the fact that it would have no financial impact
because they pay in but they also get returns.
Mayor Campbell stated this is fair to those incidences where
there are high grade lateral transfers; people who have not been contri-
buting to an existing local system and can therefore transfer benefits
into the current system and want to maintain a high level of retirement
benefits from previous positions or to maintain their own program. It
is only going to affect two persons in this case and will not affect the
general employee or the long term benefits of the system.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Public Utilities
38. Cost Projections of Various Areas for Installation of Gravity
Sewers Along North Federal Highway. The Commission is to consider
approval of project, options and costs for installation of gravity
sewers. Approval is recommended.
-13- 10/27/87
Robert Pontek, Director of Public Utilities, gave an explana-
tion of the color-coded graph distributed to the Commissioners with
recommendations. He stated he made one notation relative to the lift
station and force main that was the recommended area where service was
to be provided due to a water service agreement to the north part of
U.S. Highway 1.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she understands the Volvo Dealership on
the north end of Federal Highway has approval for an alternative method
of providing sewage disposal and questioned the cost estimate for them
to do that on their own.
Mr. Bridges, Architect, stated there are three parties involved
in this; Kentucky Fried Chicken, Petite Chalet and the Volvo Dealership
are willing to pay $140,00 now, which would amount to nearly half the
cost.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned if that amount is part of the
consideration before the Commission tonight and how the City stands with
regard to insuring this money is paid upfront.
Mr. Pontek stated the City has its own water connection fees
and in addition to that there are the upfront costs that have been
discussed with the three representatives of those potential users. He
does not have a firm letter in hand that says they will pledge a de-
finite amount. He is looking at this system as a whole and those fees
would be put into the sewer charges.
Mrs. Horenburger stated prior to her approval in favor of this
she feels there should be a definite commitment upfront on the part of
those users.
Mr. Pontek questioned if she wanted them to pay a pro rata
share or a disproportionate part upfront. Mrs. Horenburger stated she
would like them to pay whatever they would normally pay for sewer
service on their own.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels there is good reason not to
consider the upfront cost at this time. The sewer construction for that
service area No. 2 would require payments in excess of what is being
considered. The Commission discussed at the last meeting that they
wanted to identify the cost and then to see the differential in cost for
sewering each sub-drainage areas 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. If the Commission
should decide to build these main sewers, there would then be an assess-
ment program to fully recover the cost of construction. It can be done
on the basis of front footage, equivalent residential usage, square
footage or any series of ways.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she has a twofold concern. First of
all, the most northern property is not currently in the City Limits.
Secondly, while assessment programs have been used in residential areas,
in Commercial areas that had a need, it has always been that person's
responsibility to pay for and install the sewer and water lines. As
other applicants tied in, they were responsible for paying the original
installer. She is not convinced an assessment program is the solution.
She feels there are other areas in the City that need to be watered and
sewered that are within the jurisdiction of the City. Her main concern
is the methodology of payment.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the project, options and
costs for installation of gravity sewers in areas 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 and
those users who will be tieing in immediately pay their pro rata share,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
General Administration, Finance and Personnel
39. Ordinance No. 93-87 - Amending Code - Increasing Parking Meter
Fees. Ordinance No. 93-87, amending Chapter 26 "Traffic" of the Code of
Ordinances relative to increasing the cost of parking a vehicle in
parking meter spaces, is before the Commission for consideration on
First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held November 10th.
-14- 10/27/87
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 93-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 26, "TRAFFIC", ARTICLE
II, "STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING", DIVISION 3.5,
"PARKING METER ZONES", SECTION 26-67, "PARKING TIME
LIMITS", BY REPEALING SUBSECTION (a) AND ENACTING A NEW
SUBSECTION (a) TO REESTABLISH THE COST OF PARKING A
VEHICLE IN PARKING METER SPACES; PROVIDING A REPEALER
CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
The City Attorney stated the draft that was in each Commission-
er's package increased the parking meter fees everywhere and, as he
understands it, the Commission intended for this to apply only to those
meters along A1A with the remaining meter fees to be left at fifty
cents.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 93-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
40. Ordinance No. 94-87 - Amending Code - Increasing Permit Fee for
Storing Boats. Ordinance No. 94-87, amending Chapter 17, "Parks,
Beaches and Recreation" of the Code of Ordinances relative to increasing
the permit fee for storing boats in the area designated on the municipal
beach, is before the Commission for consideration on First Reading. If
passed, Public Hearing will be held November 10th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 94-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17, "PARKS, BEACHES AND
RECREATION", ARTICLE II; "MUNICIPAL BEACH", SECTION

PERMIT FEE FOR STORING BOATS IN THE AREA DESIGNATED ON
THE MUNICIPAL BEACH; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVID-
ING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 94-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
41.1. Andrea McGirr, a licensed Palm Beach County merchant at the
Delray Swap Shop for the past eight years, stated she is interested in
learning why the City Commission is not doing more with the traffic
problem on Atlantic Avenue, thereby spending less time in front of the
Delray Swap Shop. As a result of the parking ban at the Delray Swap
Shop, 450 vendors have united into a solid unit. It is being kept
clean, good merchandise is provided and the vendors would like to know
what they can do to peacefully coexist on Federal Highway.
Mayor Campbell suggested if some representatives of their
Vendor Association would like to contact some of the City Officials and
begin a dialog, that might be helpful.
41.2. June Carr, Miami Boulevard, stated the owners, renters and
residents of Silver Terrace Subdivision, Floranda Mobile Home Park and
S.E. 12th Road, are presenting a petition for the City of Delray Beach
to pay for the installation of a six foot fence on the north perimeter
of the Delray Mall from Dixie Highway to Federal Highway. They are also
requesting a pathway on S.E. 10th Street and Dixie Highway on the
-15- 10/27/87
perimeter of Silver Terrace Subdivision. A petition is being presented
to the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners in December asking that
they share the cost. She stated it is their understanding Mr. Barcinski
will place this request on a workshop agenda sometime in November. The
P&Z Board of the City of Delray has already voted for a wall on the
north perimeter of the Mall.
41.3. William Murtha, N. E. 9th Avenue, stated he read in the paper
that the Community Development Agency wants to take in the property
along N. Federal Highway in order to have a taxing district. This is a
County pocket.
Mayor Campbell stated it is not a special taxing district and
if he would like to contact Mr. Barcinski at a later time, he will be
glad to explain it.
41.4. Donald Mitchell, 1206 S. Federal Highway, Manager of Floranda
Mobile Home Park, stated there is a definite need for a barrier along
the north side of the Delray Mall along their property. He appeared at
a meeting in July and was under the impression the fence had been
approved at that time. When the mall was originally built in 1974,
there was to have been a concrete louvered wall, but this has never been
accomplished and he does not understand.
Mayor Campbell stated the Commission will take it under consid-
eration.
42. Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of September 22, 1987, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
43.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated, with Commission approval, he would like a
workshop on the Capital Improvements Program for FY 1988. There were
projects designated to be capitalized in 1988 and there are additional
projects that should be discussed, some of which were deleted from FY
1987 on the ten million dollar Bond Issue. He suggested November 17th
might be a good date.
43.a.2. Mrs. McCarty questioned if there is a special mechanism to have
newly appointed board members to attend an orientation program to assist
them in a better understanding of procedures and their responsibilities.
The City Attorney stated there is a manual given to each board
member. Nearly three years ago he held a question and answer series
relative to voting conflicts, financial disclosure, Sunshine Law, public
records and items that are not dealt with on a regular basis. Upon
question by Mrs. McCarty if this could be conducted on a semi-annual
basis, the City Attorney advised this could be done with seminars.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated that nearly three years
ago the Commission directed the City Attorney to hold an orientation
program with each of the boards. A year ago the Mayor recommended that
each committee have a representative attend Commission meetings. She
feels the philosophy of the Commission is not being brought to the
boards and they have no direction in their attempt to abide by the Code.
Perhaps it would be helpful to have a meeting with the Board Chairmen
and the Commission in order to learn what is expected from the boards.
Mayor Campbell recommended each Commissioner put their sugges-
tions in writing and pass them around for consideration.
43.a.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated, relative to the one-way pairs, the
light at S.E. 6th and S.E. 1st, based on traffic counts can be temporar-
ily flashed around the clock and the light at S.E. 5th and S.E. 1st and
N.E. 5th and N.E. 1st will be flashed from 5:00 P.M. until 9:00 A.M.
The trip boxes at N.E. 1st and N.E. 5th will be limited so it will not
work in multiples.
-16- 10/27/87
43.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated she has met with representatives of the
Sunshine Cup and also spoken with people from the Palm Beach County
Sports Authority who have shown a strong interest. She requested
concurrence of the Commission and that the Mayor send a letter to Palm
Beach County Sports Authority, requesting their support for the event.
Mayor Campbell stated a letter will be sent after being drafted by the
Acting City Manager.
43.a.5. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he would like to know the status of the
property being purchased on 1st street which at one time was considered
for housing the City Attorney's Office. He feels something should be
done in order to generate some revenue. Mayor Campbell stated Mr.
Barcinski will be reporting to the Commission soon with regard to this.
43.a.6. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he also has a concern with a tree
trimming job that was done on N.W. 7th Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. He
agrees they needed trimming, but was amazed to see nothing left but the
trunks. Mayor Campbell stated he would request Mr. Barcinski to inquire
into who did the trimming.
43.b.1. There were no non-agenda items from the City Attorney.
43.c.1. There were no non-agenda items from the Acting City Manager.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:35 P.M.
