a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 24-86:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 25, "TAXATION", OF THE
CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
BY AMENDING ARTICLE III, "UTILITY SERVICES", SECTION
25-23, "LEVIED; PURCHASER TO PAY", TO INCREASE THE TAX ON
UTILITY SERVICES FROM 7.5% TO 8.5% ON THE TOTAL AMOUNT
BILLED IN ANY CURRENT MONTH AND ALLOCATING THE REVENUE
RESULTING FROM THE TAX INCREASE TO THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 24-86 is on file in the official
Ordinance 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.
Mr. Joel Port, Villas of Rainberry Lake, spoke in opposition of
the ordinance. They feel it was not well thought out and request it be
postponed and a program be set up.
Mrs. Jeanette Slavin, Rainberry Bay, also requested that the
ordinance be postponed as they feel it is unclear.
Mr. Gerald Phillipe, High Point Sec. 4, spoke in favor of a 10
or 15 year bond issue backed up by the utility tax.
Mr. Theo Brown, 616 Lake Ida Road, spoke in favor of a bond
issue.
Mr. Chris O'Hare, Co-Chairman of the Beautification Task Force,
stated that the Task Force has been holding public meetings for six
months and has made a presentation to Council, the Chamber of Commerce
and the CRA with regard to a guideline for the beautification program.
He would be happy to answer any questions from the public after the
meeting tonight or at the Beautification Task Force's next meeting on
Friday, May 16th, at 7:30 A.M. in City Hall.
Mr. Jerry Kessler, 4530 N.W. 2nd Street, feels this is an
inequitable tax and that more public input is needed. If Council does
pass the tax, he recommends a three year sunset be put on it.
Mrs. Helen Coopersmith, PROD, stated that they favor the bond
issue with the utility tax paying the maintenance of the bond issue and
having the work done in three years. She asked for postponement and for
a priority list for the program.
Mr. Ben Lillenstein, High Point Sec. 4, spoke in favor of
paying for the bond issue by advalorem tax. They feel the utility tax
is inequitable.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 24-86 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels they need to remember that
the tax is important to lock in a funding source for the project. Mr.
Dougherty recommended that they eliminate "operating expenses" from the
ordinance and go with a 15 year bond issue. Mr. Weatherspoon stated
that he would be amenable to going with a combination of both the
- 2 - 05/13/86
utility tax and a bond issue. Mayor Campbell stated he feels it is a
fair tax and added that Atlantic Avenue West is one of the top priority
roads as it is the gateway to the City. He believes the program should
be completed in three years and would prefer that they float a bond. If
they enact the ordinance tonight, they can, possibly at their next
workshop, discuss floating a bond.
Mr. Dougherty made a substitute motion to adopt Ordinance No.
24-86 with the deletion of "and operating expense" from it, seconded by
Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Upon
question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Bird stated that the 1% was based on
the fact that they were going to do capital improvement and maintenance
simultaneously. If they are to take out the cost of maintenance and put
it on the advalorem side, they are overfunding the program as it was
presented to them. Mayor Campbell disagreed, stating that it would not
be overfunded if they do it on a short term basis.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
The City Manager stated they need to get a study started and
get staffed. He asked if they will be taking the staff and the con-
sultant out of advalorem or out of utility tax. Mayor Campbell sug-
gested they discuss that at the workshop meeting and that they direct
the City Attorney to contact bond counsel for their position.
Mr. Bird moved that the cost to develop a plan and oversee the
capital portions of it (planning, landscape architecture, etc.) shall
come from the capital portion of the budget (the utility tax), seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council 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 left the Council Chambers at this time.
7. Ordinance No. 25-86 - Amending Zoning Code - Industrial Zoning
Districts. Ordinance No. 25-86, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the
Code of Ordinances to require that all LI (Light Industrial) Districts
and MI (Medium Industrial) Districts be subject to site and development
plan approval, is before Council for consideration on Second and FINAL
Reading. 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. 25-86:

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
8. Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of April 22, 1986 and Special Meetings of April 10, 1986
and April 15, 1986, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Bird returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
9.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated he still has not received the quarterly
financial report which he requested. He would also like to have the IAC
review it.
The City Manager advised that at least five times since he's
been here, City Council has directed the Finance Director to revise the
report to make it more readable and easily understandable. They believe
the report they have is in accordance with the requirements of the
Charter. Mr. Huddleston, Finance Director, advised that detailed copies
are available in his office, the City Manager's Office and the City
Clerk's Office for the IAC.
Mayor Campbell asked that a copy be made available for Mr.
Dougherty.
9.a.2. Mr. Dougherty asked whether or not they are planning to
implement the financial indicator monitor system as suggested by the
Chairman of the IAC.
Mr. Bird stated that most of those indicators only have
validity with an appropriate population base. Their population base
which is based on a 1980 census is improperly escalated and is in-
adequate. Before they can utilize a monitor system, they need to get a
true population figure for the City of Delray Beach.
Mr. Huddleston stated that the comments they made during the
IAC meetings were that they were going to put together a budget analysis
based upon trends using the assessed valuations as an indicator. They
were going to start with this year's budget.
A member of IAC clarified that they were not using the census
as a population base but estimates by Florida Power & Light Co. and the
water usage of the City.
9.a.3. Mr. Dougherty recalled that they agreed to begin a review of
all the City Committees. He questioned when they will begin.
Mr. Bird requested that the City Manager schedule for next
week's workshop a discussion of those committees which, by statute or
other requirement, must exist. They can then whittle the list of
committees down to a reasonable number and schedule them on a recurring
basis.
The City Attorney advised that a local sunsetting ordinance is
being developed to give Council criteria for review. This ordinance
will come to Council for discussion.
9.a.4. Mr. Dougherty stated that it was brought to his attention that
two children sustained minor injuries in using a piece of play equipment
at Barwick Park. Also, he asked for an update on Barwick Park.
The City Manager advised that Barwick Park is about 45%
complete. They are still looking at another $200,000 grant and another
after that to get the project completed. Those grants have not come
through. There will be a request in this year's budget. With regard to
the equipment Mr. Dougherty mentioned, they will have the risk
management person take a look at that.
9.a.5. Mr. Bird stated he feels they have a serious problem with
sending conflicting signals and citizens getting confused. Not long ago
they established a policy of encouraging redevelopment of their downtown
- 4 - 05/13/86
and have expended thousands of dollars of taxpayers money. Meanwhile,
they have thwarted attempts by individuals who have expressed a willing-
ness to be involved in this project.
Mr. Bird moved to instruct the City Manager to present to
Council at the first formal meeting in June a plan which will result in
a comprehensive review of this City's government, its attitudes, its
actions and organization, with a detailed time frame, cost, methodology,
and a listing of assets to be used and a completion date for the final
study to be not later than the first meeting in December, 1986. This
final report should include staffing changes, organizational changes,
motivational and behavioral suggestions and communications changes to
improve communications between Council and staff and among various staff
levels, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council 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.
Before roll call, upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Bird
pointed out that a couple of areas in which he feels they have fallen
behind are in their interpersonal relationships particularly with those
departments which principally deal with the public. The motion is in
two parts: (1) for the City Manager to come to them in June with a
proposal for a study; and, (2) the final study to be completed in
December and which would hopefully lead them to a revamping and tidying
up of their administration.
Mayor Campbell asked the City Manager to make a recommendation
in response to this.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
9.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger reported that the annexation bill passed the
Community Affairs Committee and is still alive. She will be going back
to Tallahassee to find out why it was not on Thursday's calendar and if
it can be placed on the calendar. There is apparently a move afoot to
put a small amendment on the bill which will have little effect on the
substance of the bill. She added that Ms. Daley is doing an excellent
job for them in Tallahassee.
9.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger reported on the school swap. The school staff
is going to recommend to the school board on Monday that a deadline be
set for May 26th for this agreement to be finalized.
9.a.8o Mrs. Horenburger stated she is still a member of the Palm Beach
Countywide Beaches and Shores Council but has found that her time has
been very limited recently.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that Mr. Dougherty be appointed to
replace her as the City's representative to that body, seconded by Mr.
Bird. Upon roll call Council 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.
9.a.9. Mrs. Horenburger advised that both she and Kathleen Daley have
been lobbying on some other bills, particularly the Growth Management
Act that was passed last year. There are about six amendments being
worked on; one has to do with consistency with the State plan. No one
has defined what consistency is and there is a move afoot to have that
definition in place. The second issue is the limited time frame in
which they have to comply with the State plan. They have also been
working on the library bill and others.
9.a.10 Mrs. Horenburger reported that the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council has finally adopted a transportation policy which seems
to suit everyone. It has some good safeguards for local government
areas and some flexibility with regard to fair share contributions.
9.a.ll. Mrs. Horenburger moved to reappoint J.B. Smith and Virginia
Courtenay as alternate members of the Community Appearance Board for one
year terms, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council 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.
- 5 - 05/13/86
Before roll call, Mr. Dougherty stated that this action seems
to be contrary to what they were just discussing earlier with regard to
reviewing all committees. He suggested extending the terms until such
time as Council has reviewed the committee.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
9.a.12. Mrs. Horenburger noted that the term of G. Robert Fellows on
the PERC Commission has expired and she suggested they contact him and
find out if he is willing to serve again.
9.a.13. Mrs. Horenburger reported that several members of the Police
and Fire Board of Trustees terms expired in April.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to appoint Charles F. Hill, Michael J.
Hendricks and Wayne Inman to the Police and Fire Board of Trustees until
June 30, 1986, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council
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.
The City Attorney advised that the last two names mentioned are
employee-elected members not appointed by Council.
Mr. Bird moved that the action just taken be stricken from the
record and that the term of Charles F. Hill be extended until June 30,
1986, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council 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.
9.a.14. Mrs. Horenburger moved to reappoint Leo Kierstein to the Civil
Service Board for a two year term, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call
Council 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.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that Mrs. Virginia Cady has worked long
and hard for the Civil Service Board and is very experienced in those
matters. Although Mrs. Cady has served beyond the two two-year term
limit, she (Mrs. Horenburger feels) they should consider designating a
special post to enable Mrs. Cady to remain on that Board. She requested
that the City Manager and City Attorney look into it.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to reappoint Mrs. Cady to the Civil
Service Board to a term ending June 30, 1986, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Upon roll call Council 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.
9.a.15. Mrs. Horenburger stated that several weeks ago she asked the
City Manager to send them a report with regard to the Swinton Avenue
project. The report she received was a list of meeting dates and
events. It did not tell her why the project is taking so long.
The City Manager reported that the County has indicated that
completion will be by the end of the month or the 2nd week of June.
Mayor Campbell stated that if they do not finish by the end of the
month, he plans to protest vehemently to the point of asking the County
not to do business with that contractor anymore or to find whose fault
it was and dismiss them.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she has not had a chance to read
the memo she received today from the City Manager. She suggested they
discuss this issue further at next week's workshop.
9.a.16 Mr. Weatherspoon thanked Mrs. Horenburger for her work in
Tallahassee and asked her to watch House Bill 657 which deals with
financial disclosure. He understands this bill will modify the current
bill drastically.
- 6 - 05/13/86
9.a.17. Mr. Weatherspoon stated a question recently came up as to
whether or not a developer should pay for a fire hydrant to be installed
or should share the cost.
The City Manager advised that according to normal procedure the
developer pays for the fire hydrant, approximately $1500, if he causes
the need for it. He will need to get more information from the Fire
Department on this particular situation. Discussion has been had with
regard to a pro rata share.
9.a.18. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that several months ago they sent a
memo to DOT regarding use of parking at the beach at night.
The City Manager advised they have contacted DOT twice and have
received no response as yet.
9.a.19. Mr. Weatherspoon stated there was a lot on the North side of
S.W. 3rd Avenue which was overgrown and the owner went in and did some
minor cleanup. The concern of the abutting homeowner was that several
Australian Pine Trees in excess of 20 feet are leaning over onto his
property.
The City Manager asked Mr. Weatherspoon to give him the address
and he will have that checked out.
9.a.20. Mr. Weatherspoon advised that he received a memo from Catherine
Boeh, Broward Palm Beach Coordinator, who is coordinating an effort to
collect signatures for the State Lottery. He urges those citizens in
favor of it to sign the forms being circulated in the community. Ms.
Boeh also asked City Council to consider drafting a resolution declaring
a certain date as Lottery Date for the collection of signatures.
9.a.21. Mayor Campbell presented and read a proclamation declaring the
week of June 1-7, 1986, as "National Safe Boating Week in Delray Beach".
Members of the Delray Power Squadron came forward to accept the
proclamation.
9.a.22. Mayor Campbell asked about the Linton Boulevard road project.
The City Manager stated he will discuss that under City Manager items.
9.a.23. Mayor Campbell commended the Administration for trying to deal
with the problem of junked cars. He asked the City Manager for an
update.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this further at the
next workshop meeting.
9.b.1. The City Attorney introduced the new Assistant City Attorney,
Jeffrey Kurtz.
9.b.2. With regard to Item 26, the City Attorney advised that a new
draft of Ordinance No. 26-86 has been distributed. This draft clarifies
its compatibility with the RO District regulations.
9.b.3. The City Attorney reported that Isles of Delray was approved by
the City as an SAD in January, 1984; however, it is unclear when the
time limitation on the project was to commence. They are requesting
that Council establish a date for the 24 months to commence running.
Mr. Bird moved that the 24 month period start commence running
as of midnight tonight, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call
Council 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.
9.b.4. The City Attorney asked Council for direction on how to proceed
with the Schwerin case which is the annexation lawsuit. The settlement
offer was formally withdrawn by the plaintiff. A memo he sent to
Council sets forth three options: (1) to attempt to renegotiate (how-
ever, he was told they will not accept less than $6,000); (2) to default
on the lawsuit in which case he suggests they do an allocation of at
least $1,000 for costs and fees; and (3) to litigate to conclusions with
the potential that they might be unsuccessful in which case he estimates
a sum of $20,000 to $25,000.
- 7 - 05/13/86
Mr. Dougherty stated that somebody should find out whether or
not they had the 30% requirement of voters. He also feels that Council
was not properly advised in this matter. Mayor Campbell stated it is
his understanding they did not comply with the Act. Mr. Bird stated
that after conversation with the City Manager and City Attorney, he is
satisfied as to how this situation occurred and he suggested that Mr.
Dougherty do the same.
Mr. Bird moved to direct the City Attorney's office to
undertake whatever agreement can be drafted to reduce the out of pocket
cost to a minimum, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council
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 stated it is understood that the maximum
figure is $6,000; if it were more than that he would have to come back
to Council for additional authorization.
Mrs. Horenburger made a substitute motion to offer a settlement
of $2600 with a ceiling of $5,000, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty -
Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No.
Said motion FAILED with a 3 to 2 vote.
At this point the roll was called to the first motion.
9.c.1. The City Manager requested that a Special Meeting be scheduled
for next Tuesday before their workshop meeting to consider the
following: (1) a contract for garbage pickup for the summer cleanup;
they are projecting that will run from June 9th through 28th; and (2) a
contract for the Medical Director for the Fire Department for the
Paramedics; there will be an increase of $500 a month.
9.c.2. The City Manager stated the Linton Boulevard project was
initiated by the County. Unfortunately, there were a lot of changes
with the Delint Center, the CRHA project, etc., and some re-engineering
had to be done. Somehow a conflict developed in that the utility
companies did not get notification from the County engineers relative to
the project. So the electrical lines and telephone lines were not
relocated. The project was let and, in his opinion, it is not the
contractor's fault.
Mayor Campbell suggested they contact the County and urge them
to proceed with haste and also indicate that the City is dissatisfied
with the County's handling of the contractual arrangements.
9.c.3. The City Manager stated there are three items before Council
which he asks Council to review in its own time. They are (1) the
Swinton Avenue reconstruction project; (2) the tennis contract; and (3)
a procedure to deal with problems of miscommunication, redundancy, red
tape, etc. If any Council Member wishes to discuss any of the matters,
they should let him know and he will put it on a workshop agenda.
9.d.1. Mr. Leonard Syrop, member of Delray Beach Housing Authority,
spoke in response to action taken by Council at its last meeting
regarding'the Housing Authority. He outlined the history of the Housing
Authority, its membership and its accomplishments. He also gave a
report on the Housing Authority's activities over the last six months.
9.d.2. Mrs. Marilyn Carr, representing CAPA (Citizens Against
Political Annexation), stated that on April 22nd a motion was made by
the Palm Beach County Commission to attach a resolution to the Enclave
Act stating a time certain as 1990. They would like to know where the
City got its County figures such as water, septic tanks, etc.
Mayor Campbell stated that someone will get back to her with
the information.
- 8 - 05/13/86
9.d.3. Mrs. June Carr, County pocket resident, asked for information
on the Enclave Act with regard to people in County pockets becoming
responsible for City indebtedness. She also asked for information on
non-conforming uses and a date as to when City services will be avail-
able. She suggests that the date be set for the end of the tax year
when annexing anyone.
9.d.4. Mr. Robin Smith, 1202 N.W. 2nd Street, invited Council to
attend a Health Screen which will be held at Pompey Park on May 17th

weight, pulse, blood pressure, ears and eyes, etc. The American Cancer

9.d.5. Mr. Stanley Katz, Pines West, stated that they received notice
that the Crosswinds development across the street wants to change its
density to exceed 10 units per acre and is going before the Board of
Adjustment for a Variance. They ask City Council to help them prevent
this from happening.
Mayor Campbell advised that City Council has no say on matters
which go before the Board of Adjustment.
9.d.6. Mr. Thomas Haenlon, 613 N.E. 4th Street, read a 1984 newspaper
editorial relative to the bypass plan to reroute traffic off East

No. 33-86, and that the conditional use and site plan approval portion
of Item 23, Patio Delray, be withdrawn, and that only the parking issue
be discussed, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council
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.

REGULAR AGENDA
21. Mr. Digby Bridges, Digby Bridges, Marsh & Associates. Council
is to consider proposed changes to Public Safety Facility.
Mr. Digby Bridges, architect, advised that a report has been
provided to Council with regard to the changes they are requesting. He
would like to have the go ahead from Council with regard to the changes
listed to spend up to $349,475 for the various items. They still have a
large balance left. The City Manager advised that he recommends ap-
proval and added that this constitutes a request for change orders.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon as to what they can do with
any funds that might be left, the City Attorney advised that it would
remain in the fund and could potentially be used for debt service
reduction. Mr. Weatherspoon felt they should cut down on the spending
where possible; Mr. Dougherty concurred. Discussion was had at this
time as to the type of roof and other various items and costs.
Mr. Bridges asked Council to give him the authority to make
decisions on the minor items and assured Council he would not be reck-
less. He would come to Council with any major items.
Mayor Campbell suggested putting this matter on the next
workshop meeting and requested each Council Member to let the City
Manager know which items are of concern. Council concurred.
Mr. Bridges advised that this building is on the Sterling Field
property which was donated by the Sterling family; the plaque and
monument have been preserved. He suggests that the new building be
called the "Sterling Building". Mayor Campbell advised that they will
discuss that on Tuesday as well.
22. Mr. Frank Wexford, S.G. Phillips Constructors of Florida, Inc.
Mayor Campbell announced that the applicant has requested this item be
deleted from tonight's agenda.
23. Parking - Patio Delra¥. Council is to consider allowing the
use of adjacent RM-10 (Multiple Family Dwelling) property for off-street
parking for Patio Delray. (Note: conditional use and site plan approval
will not be considered at this meeting as originally scheduled).
Mr. Bird stated that in order to provide parking for this
project and additional parking for the area, it is his understanding
that their decision was to get Mr. Handelsman and the DDA to do a joint
project to take the entire vacant parcel lying immediately south of the
Bridge Restaurant parking lot plus a 12 foot strip and provide 45
spaces. Further, to hold Mr. Handelsman and his group responsible for
the full cost of 14 of those spaces, the balance of the cost to be
picked up by DDA. The DDA met today and have forwarded a recommendation
to Council as to how that should be handled. He feels it would be
appropriate for Council to review the recommendation and let Mr. Handels-
man know their feelings.
Mr. Digby Bridges spoke on behalf of Mr. Handelsman. Mr.
Bridges advised that there are three different affected owners, the
owner of the Patio Delray, the owner of the lot and the owner of the
strip. Mr. Handelsman is putting this to the owners to see if they all
agree. If Council would confirm the recommendation as outlined by Mr.
Bird, he could speak to Mr. Handelsman tomorrow and get his confirma-
tion.
- 11 - 05/13/86
Mr. Bird advised that they have requested that Mr. Handelsman
obtain, at the minimum, a 99 year lease at $1.00 a year on the 12 foot
strip. He feels they should take advantage of this opportunity to put
additional parking in the area.
Mayor Campbell felt uncomfortable taking any action on this
item without the petitioner present.
Mr. Bird moved that Council conceptually accept that this would
be an acceptable solution to the parking deficit in that area, seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird
- Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell abstained. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Upon ques-
tion by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Bird advised that the City and DDA'S share
of the cost would be about $210,000 or about $105,000 each. Mr. Bird
pointed out that although Mr. Handelsman is required to pay for 14 of
the 45 spaces those spaces will not be tagged. They will simply be 14
of 45 spaces in a public parking area. Upon further question, he
advised that the City's share should come out of CRA funds.
Mr. James Bowen, Marine Way Property Owners Association, stated
that he believes that years ago there was an alley behind that parcel
which the City vacated. If so, they will be leasing back something they
gave away. Further, he feels the DDA's recommendation, according to the
minutes of their meeting, does not clearly break down the costs.
Mrs. Elita Riley, Marine Way homeowners, stated that according
to plans she understands there is an entrance which will open onto
Marine Way. They feel this would be totally unacceptable and suggest
that there be a turnaround in the parking lot.
Mr. Bird clarified that the motion is to conceptually accept
this as a possible alternative and does not bind Council to anything.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
24. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval Extension - Lake Ida
Professional Plaza. Council is to consider a request for extension of
the conditional use and site plan approval for Lake Ida Professional
Plaza, a 54,712 square foot office center with drive-in facilities for a
financial institution, located at the northwest corner of Congress
Avenue and Lake Ida Road. The Planning & Zoning Board and Planning
Director recommend that a 30 day extension be granted (from May 13, 1986
through June 12, 1986).
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the extension, seconded by
Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council 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.
25. Auditing Services. Council is to consider authorizing negotia-
tion of a contract with Ernst & Whinney for auditing services. Approval
is recommended.
Mr. Bird moved to accept staff's recommendation and authorize
them to commence negotiation with Ernst & Whinney, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Upon roll call Council 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.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird commended Ernst & Whinney for their
performance for the City.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
26. Settlement Matter - Collier v. City of Delray Beach. The City
Attorney reported that this is a personal injury case being defended by
the firm of Cibula, Gaunt, and Pratt who have negotiated a settlement of
$75,000, all of which will come from the insurance company.
- 12 - 05/13/86
Mr. Bird moved for acceptance of the settlement offer, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird
- Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -

Council voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
3 to 1 vote.
Mr. Bird left before roll call due to a conflict of interest.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mayor Campbell questioned why the homes behind the Shopping
Center/Post Office and the homes along 4th were not included in this
rezoning. Mrs. Horenburger advised that those are not residential. Mr.
Bird added that those are already in the General Commercial and Council
felt they should be left there.
Mayor Campbell stated that he does not want somebody to be able
to come in and build an office that is incompatible with the single
family character of the neighborhood they are trying to preserve. Mr.
Cohn, Planning Director, advised that there is a requirement in the RO
District that all structures be residential in character as determined
by the CAB; there are also other protections in terms of height and size
of office space. Also, City Council and the Planning & Zoning Board
will have an opportunity to review the site plans. Upon question by
Mayor Campbell, Mr. Cohn advised that the Board felt it would be too
restrictive to state the type of roof in the ordinance.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not want to get into it tonight
but would like an opportunity to meet with the Planning and Zoning Board
and discuss roofs.
Mr. Dougherty had a problem with allowing commercial intrusions
into residential areas. Discussion was had regarding preserving the
historical residential character of the area.
Upon question by Mrs. Elaine Roberts, the City Attorney advised
that the amended draft does not change any substantive provisions nor
does it change anything the RO is applicable to. All it did was to put
a reference in dealing with the fact that a particular subsection of the
RO District is going to be governed by POC regulations.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
- 13 - 05/13/86
Mayor Campbell left the Council Chambers and Vice-Mayor
Weatherspoon took the chair at this time. Mr. Bird returned to the

the ordinance. Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, Mr. Cohn advised that 10
feet is a standard fairly typical in a number of zoning ordinances for
screened enclosures. They do not want to get any closer than 10 feet.
According to definition, a screened enclosure is screening which does
not have a covered roof. The Planning and Zoning Board was concerned
that this may lead to an ultimate reduction of the building setback.
Mrs. Horenburger shared the concerns of the Planning and Zoning Board
and added she feels 10 feet is too close.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a

Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Dougherty was concerned about the provision to allow up to four abused
spouses to occupy a room; he feels that is excessive and suggested a
maximum of two. Mrs. Horenburger advised that there is difficulty
getting these types of facilities funded, the need is great and those in
need are happy to have a place to go regardless of how many are in a
room. Upon question by Mr. Bird, she advised that the organizers of
this program have had input into the ordinance.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

Before roll call, Mr. Bird noted that the County is voting on
this issue tonight. The City Manager advised that this is on tonight's
agenda because Council requested that he send a letter, which he did,
followed up by a resolution. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he spoke to
two commissioners who voted against this; their reasons were that they
were comtemplating raising the bed tax and state tax but mainly because
they had over 18+ million dollars left unspent from last year. Mr. Bird
stated the County has a problem with its Engineering Department which
needs to be addressed but the fact remains that a portion of this money
will come back to service the City's needs.
