- 2 - 06/10/86
Mrs. Sheila Tone, 635 N.W. 53rd Avenue, thanked City Council
for the recent ordinance change raising the number of children permitted
in family day care centers and for proposing to lower the license fee
from $100 to $20 for baby sitters. However, while the lowered fee would
be a great help, she feels it should be lowered further to $10. Mrs.
Tone outlined the expenses involved in opening and operating a day care
center.
The public hearing was closed.

on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll

motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr. Wea-
therspoon stated they have taken a great stride by lowering the fee from
$100 to $20 and he feels it is fair as it stands. Mr. Dougherty had
concerns with regard to youngsters who baby sit on occasion; he felt
this ordinance might be opening them up to some liability for not having
a license. He suggested they set a certain amount of earnings, $100 for
example, before requiring a license. Mr. Bird stated that if people
choose to use non-professional help, such as neighboring teenagers to
mow their lawns, baby sit, etc., then those people should not look to
the City for support. If people want guarantee of a reasonable
standard, then they should deal with a licensed businessperson.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
10. Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of May 27, 1986 and Special Meeting of May 20, 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.
ll.a.1. Mr. Dougherty requested that Council conduct a full discussion
of its position with regard to the Courthouse at the next workshop. He
does not understand how the meeting of June 4th took place between the
County and the negotiating committee without Council having established
a policy.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that, under her items, she was planning
to ask that Mr. Simback be permitted to speak on this. She suggested
that he be allowed to speak after Item ll.d.
With regard to the June 4th meeting, Mayor Campbell stated he
was there and no policy decisions were made. All they did at that
meeting was to listen to some suggestions and look at some proposals.
They made it clear that the City's position had not changed but they
were willing to listen to what the County had to say. Upon question by
Mr. Dougherty, Mayor Campbell advised that by Council action they
officially appointed Mr. Ken Simback to be the City's representative in
the negotiations with the County.
Mr. Dougherty moved to have a discussion of the Courthouse on
the next workshop agenda, 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.
ll.a.2. Mr. Bird stated that FPL has been working diligently to obtain
an appropriate site for the relocation of the FPL District Office. They
have selected a site which is part of an overall site. He is asking
Council to agree to allow that 3 acre site to be platted separately from
the additional acreage.
Mr. Bird moved to allow the site to be platted separately,
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, Mr. Bird advised that the property is located
on South Congress and 29th Avenue.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
- 4 - 06/10/86
ll.a.3. Mr. Bird stated he shares Mr. Dougherty's concern with regard
to any policy change relative to the Courthouse location but he feels an
additional delay may harden attitudes.
Mr. Bird moved to change tonight's agenda to add an Item ll.e.
to be a report from Mr. Ken Simback, Executive Director of CRA, relative
to the Courthouse, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council
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, Mr. Dougherty felt it was out of order to
change the agenda in the middle of a meeting and questioned if it is
permissible under Robert's Rules. Mayor Campbell stated that he is
chairing the meeting and he permits it. If Mr. Dougherty disagrees with
his ruling, he can bring it up at a later time.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
ll.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger thanked everyone who worked on the Delray
Beach Enclave Act.
ll.a.5. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that over the past few months he has
noted an additional amount of traffic in the area of Pompey Park
accompanied by the drinking of alcohol and parking violations. The
normal patrons are having a problem getting to and from it. Further,
officers have been observed passing there and doing nothing about it.
Mr. Weatherspoon asked staff to make sure their ordinances are being
enforced.
ll.a.6. Mr. Weatherspoon stated there is a sand pile, just north of
Linton Square on the east side of Congress Avenue. He believes it is
not in compliance with the height restriction they impose.
ll.a.7. Mayor Campbell complimented Mrs. Horenburger on the fine job
she did in lobbying in Tallahassee. He also recognized Kathy Daley who
Council sent to Tallahassee to lobby and Tom Robb, Intern, who did the
local work on that issue.
ll.a.8. Mayor Campbell read into the record a letter he received from
Ken Simback as follows:
"At the request of City Council, the CRA has reviewed the
information presented by Jim Johnson and our Master Planning
Consultants concerning the fee for payment in lieu of parking
in the CBD District. By a unanimous vote of the Board, the
Agency is recommending to Council that the fee be raised to
$5,000 per space. It is the intent of the Board in making this
recommendation to structure a fee that is representative of the
average land value in the downtown area in addition to the
actual construction and landscaping cost and factor in the loss
of future tax revenue and future maintenance and replacement
cost."
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this item for their
next workshop meeting.
ll.a.9. Mayor Campbell advised there is a Project Literacy U.S. to
enlist community support in solving the literacy problem. Cohosted by
WPEC TV 12 and WXEL TV 42, it will take place on June 18, 1986, at 8:00
A.M. at the Palm Beach Airport Hilton. Any members of the community or
Council interested in attending can get more information from the City
Manager.
ll.a.10. Mayor Campbell noted that a formal resignation has been re-
ceived from Mr. Christopher O'Hare, Landscape Architect, Beautification
Trust. Mr. O'Hare wishes to spend more time in his profession and,
possibly, be available for professional consultation with the City.
- 5 - 06/10/86
ll.a.ll. Mayor Campbell raised the following items with regard to the
minutes of May 27, 1986: Relative to the proposal for urban home-
steading, the City Manager advised he has an oral report for Council.
With regard to the agreement with the County relative to the 2 cents gas
tax, the City Attorney advised that he checked the formula and it is
correct. With regard to the request from Willie Sharpe regarding a stop
sign at the intersection of S.W. 8th Avenue and 2nd Street, the City
Manager advised that it is being reviewed by the Public Works Department
presently and he will report back on it. Mayor Campbell stated that
Mrs. Horenburger raised the issue of the CRA and the amount of space; he
asked that copies of the report regarding land values and approximate
cost of improvement be distributed to Council prior to the next work-
shop meeting.
ll.b.1. The City Attorney advised that with regard to Item 33, In-
surance Requirements for Comprehensive Plan, his office has no recom-
mendation; that is a policy decision for Council.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
ll.b.2. The City Attorney reported that in regard to the Carolyn and
William Young vs the City case set for trial on June 30th, there is a
possibility himself and other members of his office may be called as
witnesses. Therefore, they are no longer ethically permitted to be
counsel to the City. They have convinced Adams Weaver of Johnson,
Sassa, Randolph and Weaver, to come in and defend the City at this late
date and he has agreed to do so.
Mr. Dougherty moved to retain Adams Weaver to defend the City,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
ll.b.3. The City Attorney stated that this lawsuit is Robert Jones vs
the City of Delray Beach and four individually named defendants. This
case is an action for negligence against the City for alleged excessive
use of force by certain police officers. They have also sued the police
officers individually for different kinds of allegations, intentional
torts for assault and battery. Being that there would be the obvious
conflict of interest potentially between the City's position on those
issues and the individual defendants' position, there is a need to
retain outside counsel. They recommend retaining A1 Coogler of Adams,
Coogler, Watson and Merkel in West Palm Beach to defend the individual
defendants in that case.
Mr. Bird moved to retain A1 Coogler, seconded by Mr. Weather-
spoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Bird asked that the record show that both attorneys be
hired at the rate of $125 an hour.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
ll.c.1. The City Manager reported that they have received a proposal
from Hamlet to prepare an agreement between the City and Hamlet Corpora-
tion for beautifying the medians in front of Hamlet on West Atlantic
Avenue. Hamlet would submit a plan for sprinkling and would pay for
sprinkler installation and related work, water use for sprinkling
purposes, electrical cost and they would maintain the sprinkler system.
In return, they are asking that the City sod the medians and, possibly
landscape, similar to those on Federal Highway in Boca Raton. They
would also like the City to obtain DOT permits for the pipe crossing of
the sprinklers on Atlantic Avenue. The City would be responsible for
the maintenance of the landscape or sodding. The City Manager asked for
direction from Council.
Mr. Bird noted that they have committed to moving ahead with
this area and he feels this is the lowest cost they will get to do a
demonstration project. Mayor Campbell added that they could reimburse
themselves from the revenues for the Beautification tax at the appropri-
ate time. Mayor Campbell asked the City Manager to provide a cost
estimate, adding that at that time they will have formal ratification.
- 6 - 06/10/86
It was the consensus of Council to proceed with the agreement.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, the City Manager advised that all work
would be subject to approval by the City and DOT.
Discussion was had with regard to beautifying to Barwick Road.
Mrs. Horenburger suggested that the Engineering Department talk to the
people from Hamlet. Mayor Campbell asked the City Manager to look into
the feasibility of that and report back to Council.
11.c.2. The City Manager requested and recommended that Mr. Tom Robb,
City Manager Intern, who has been working temporary and going to school,
be reclassified from a part-time position to a full-time position, with
a title of Management Analyst and establishing the position in Grade 20.
Mr. Bird moved to reclassify Mr. Tom Robb as recommended,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that in his opinion the Assistant City
Manager is the one who handles the extra work which the City Manager
cannot handle. In lieu of the fact they are contemplating a structural
study, he feels this reclassification is not warranted at this time.
Mr. Dougherty felt that this action should wait until budget time. Mrs.
Horenburger agreed but added that in the meantime she feels they should
reclassify him as Mr. Robb is in the middle of several important pro-
jects. Mr. Bird suggested a temporary reclassification subject to
ratification at budget time. Upon question, the City Manager advised
that temporary employees receive no benefits.
Mr. Bird amended the motion to approve the reclassification
subject to ratification at budget time and in light of a management
study, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Weatherspoon stated he would prefer to
see the position left as is for now and taken up at a budgetary session
after the study is completed.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
11.c.3. The City Manager stated that at the May 13th meeting, Council
expressed interest in having an organizational analysis done to try to
improve a number of areas within the organizational structure such as
staffing, attitudes, etc. He feels this study should be done by an
outside firm and recommends the firm of Mercer Slavin who are currently
doing management consulting for Palm Beach County and are very familiar
with this type of study and environment. He advised that he has asked
Mercer Slavin to prepare a proposal based on Council discussions and
they have indicated that they would do an in depth study for $27,500.
Mayor Campbell stated that he will be unable to vote as he just
received the material this evening and has not had a chance to read it.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, the City Manager advised that they have not
received written input from any other firms. He added that since this
is not covered by the Competitive Negotiations Act or by their ordinance
they decided to discuss it with a firm that has a national reputation.
Mr. Bird felt they should review more than one applicant and asked how
long it would take to get additional proposals from other nationally
ranked firms. The City Manager replied they could have them in about
two weeks.
Mr. Bird moved to direct the staff to prepare the RFP with a
suspend date on it so that they would have those to take action on at
the first formal Council Meeting in July, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
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.
- 7 - 06/10/86
Before roll call, Mr. Dougherty suggested that perhaps City
Council should retain and direct this study rather than the City
Manager. The City Manager disagreed, adding that the City Council makes
the decision as to who will be the consultant but the consultant has to
work closely with the Council, the City Manager and Department Heads in
order for the process to work. He considers it a managerial prerogative
to be involved in any kind of managerial study of the City.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
ll.d.1. Mr. Roger Boos, builder/developer of Delray Place, 220 S.E.
10th Street, advised that they have a serious drug problem at Delray
Place, at Apt. 301-A, and across the street where D&R Landscaping used
to be. They have people parking their cars in their project and going
across the street and to 301, and people sleeping on the walkways. They
call the police and the police laugh about it.
Mayor Campbell stated they will take that under consideration
and will ask the Police Chief and City Manager to report back on the
allegations made.
ll.d.2. Mr. Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, commended Mrs. Horenburger
for the work she did in connection with the Enclave Act.
ll.d.3. Mr. Schwimer suggested, with regard to the Managerial Study,
that Council give consideration to utilizing the services of college
students to conduct the study.
ll.d.4. Mrs. Helen Coopersmith, PROD, asked if anything has been done
with regard to the City's review of Boards and Committees. Also, she
asked how long it will take, what will happen to the board members whose
terms have expired in the meantime and what happens to people who would
like to become committee members.
Mayor Campbell stated that these questions need to be pursued
and if any member of Council deems it appropriate to put on next week's
workshop, they will do so.
ll.d.5. Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, Beach Property Owners Association,
stated they are in opposition of a decision by the CAB relative to an
office building on Seabreeze Avenue. They are protesting against the
colors being allowed by CAB. They feel that ordinance provisions have
been ignored and that this approval is not in harmony with the area.
They request that Council put this item on its next workshop and allow
public discussion.
Mayor Campbell stated they will take that under consideration
and added that Council has changed procedure so that Council would be
the final body before any site plan is concluded. Therefore, there
would be a final review process of CAB.
ll.d.6. Mrs. Matthews noted that a Council-appointed Land Use Plan
Committee worked all last summer and, with the concurrence of the
Planning and Zoning Board, gave a final report to Council. She
questions what happened to it. They have heard nothing about the Land
Use Plan or the citizen input. She and others would like to know the
current status of it.
Mayor Campbell requested that the City Manager give a brief
overview in two weeks, i.e., where it is, how long it's going to take,
and where they are going on it.
ll.d.7. Mr. Stanley Katz, spoke on the County Courthouse issue. The
City has gone from giving the County four acres to giving six acres to
10 acres. It is his understanding that residents and businesses will
have to be uprooted and they will have to give up the tennis courts.
Also their already overworked Police Department will have to give police
protection against vandalism if they go forward with the Courthouse.
They will be giving away millions of dollars worth of tangible property
and nobody can definitely say what benefits the City will get out of it.
He was in support of giving the four acres, not 10 acres and not to move
residents, tennis courts, etc.
- 8 - 06/10/86
ll.d.8. Mr. Wilbur Wilkins, 230 S.E. 10th Street, Delray Place, echoed
Mr. Boos comments. He is very concerned about the apparent lack of
activity by the Police Department on their complaint. Further, he
wonders if getting rid of their County pockets will benefit them any on
police protection.
ll.d.9. Mr. Ralph Dye stated that about three years ago when Mr. Law
was Interim City Manager, the Internal Audit Committee did a study at
the request of certain Council Members. That study did not address the
full spectrum of what is being proposed now but it could be used as a
prefatory reading for the Council in the interim. The five members of
the IAC were highly qualified; each had a graduate degree and each had
had a responsible management position. If that study can be located, he
would urge Council to look at it.
ll.d.10. Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated she has seen the
Park & Recreation Director's capital improvement program for 1986-87; he
suggests a number of things for Barwick Park such as parking lot,
irrigation, entranceways, engineering, etc., at a cost of $78,150 but
there is no mention in his proposal of playground equipment. Funds are
being proposed for the 86-87 budget but they will not be talking about
releasing those funds until September. They have $260,000 in impact
fees and she feels it's time to do something to improve Barwick Park and
make it usable and attractive. She asked if Council has a commitment to
do something about Barwick Park, does Council plan to do it in the near
future and will Council decide what to do with impact fees.
Mayor Campbell suggested they have Mr. Weldon give them a
preliminary review of his budgetary recommendations at the next workshop
meeting. Council concurred.
Mayor Campbell advised that they have been spending impact
fees; they have been making regular appropriations for recreational
projects.
ll.d.ll Mr. Theodis Brown stated there is a problem with the cars at
Pompey Park out to 10th Avenue. It's a dangerous situation in which the
cars are up so close that the children have no place to walk. Street
lights are needed in that area and there is a also a drainage problem.
ll.d.12 With regard to beautification, Mr. Brown stated there is a need
to eliminate some old buildings on West Atlantic Avenue from Georgia
Town Tavern back as there is no way to fix them up satisfactorily. They
are also having a problem with drugs in the community and he feels it
must be dealt with.
ll.d.13. With regard to the Courthouse, Mr. James Bowen, PROD, ques-
tioned why they are listening to the County's outlandish requests. He
stated it is the County's job to determine the best location for the
Courthouse and it should be up to the County to provide the land for it.
He feels they should not go above a 4+ acre gift. The taxpayers need to
be told what the City is giving up, the total cost of the project and
whether it wouldn't be better to spend that kind of money downtown where
it will do some good.
ll.d.14. Mrs. Elaine Roberts, 312 N. Swinton Avenue, concurred with Mr.
Dye's comments. She added that there are universities nearby that could
also be of some help with the study. She feels that $27,500 is a lot to
pay for a management study.
ll.e. Mr. Ken Simback, Executive Director of CRA, gave a presentation
with regard to the Courthouse issue. He advised that he attended a
meeting with the County on May 30th and there is a genuine interest on
the part of the County's team to effect the location of the Courthouse
on Atlantic Avenue. The County still feels that the 6 1/2 acres is not
adequate to support future expansion and they would prefer to have up to
10 acres available. The CRA agreed to look at what the cost of the
additional 3 1/2 - 4 acres might be and to jointly request appraisals.
- 9 - 06/10/86
Mr. Simback stated he needs direction from Council as to (1)
whether the City would provide a boundary survey of the 6+ acre parcel
at a cost of approximately $1500; (2) the relocation of any utilities
that might be located within the right-of-way of 1st Street between 2nd
Avenue and 3rd Avenue (there is an 8 inch water main along 1st Street);
(3) the County's request regarding the City's provision of a security
officer for the Courthouse. There was also the issue of who would be
responsible for paying the impact fees. The three impact fees under
consideration are (1) water and sewer; (2) road; (3) building permit
fees. He added that the County would like to undertake some initial
site planning before there is any more discussion on the future use of
the police station.
Mr. Simback advised that there is another meeting scheduled for
Friday, June 14th, at which they were going to further discuss the
language with regard to security police and uses auxiliary to the Court-
house. He recommends they not discuss the possible donation of addi-
tional land until they receive the appraisals and the County's position
as to whether they would request the City to acquire the land. They
have no intention of undertaking any meaningful negotiation prior to
some direction from City Council.
Mayor Campbell asked that the specific queries be put into a
question format for consideration and put into Council's packet.

REGULAR AGENDA
14. Micro Computer Maintenance Survey and Cleaning. Council is to
consider award of a contract to the low bidder, I.T.T., for survey of
micro computers in various City departments at a cost of $1,120 and
cleaning at a cost not to exceed $14,000, with funds to come from the
various departmental 1985/86 budgets.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. David Huddleston,
Finance Director, explained that this bid was conducted by the Palm
Beach County Cooperative Purchasing Group which is a group of Purchasing
Administrators from various municipalities and County agencies in the
State. Of 21 vendors that received requests for proposals, six re-
sponded. The Cooperative Group reviewed them with the assistance of the
Data Processing Directors for each of the municipalities. It is a
- 11 - 06/10/86
cleaning and survey process, initially. They will go through inventory
with the D.P. staff and itemize the parts that are at each work station.
Based upon their bid per unit, they will decide which units to put on
the contract. They were low bid by about $500 and there were other
qualifying factors that the Cooperative Group considered.
Upon further question, Mr. Huddleston explained it will be a
preventive maintenance cleaning initially and they will also do the part
repairs. They have guaranteed a four hour response time for replacement
of parts and diagnosis.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to award the contract to I.T.T., sec-
onded 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.
27. Discussion relative to City Entryway Signs. It was the con-
sensus of Council to postpone until the next regular meeting.
28. Selection of Enterprise Zone areas. Mayor Campbell explained,
for the public, that this is a continuation of a discussion that was
held at the last workshop wherein the City is making application for a
renewal of Delray Beach's Enterprise Zone which requires a designated
boundary. He stated he feels discussion of this item should be held at
a workshop meeting. Mrs. Horenburger outlined the procedures for filing
an application and stated she has some serious doubts as to whether they
should go ahead or not. There is an enormous amount of work involved
and their chances do not look that good. In addition, they are running
out of time.
Mr. Bird moved that they not apply for the Enterprise Zone,
seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Mr. Weatherspoon felt they should have staff look at the
conditions of application and tell them whether or not they can meet
them within the time frame.
Mr. Bird withdrew his motion and Mr. Dougherty his second.
Mr. Bird moved to table this item until June 17, 1986 at 7:00
P.M., seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council 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.
29. Discussion of Urban Homesteading (Council Member Bird). Mr.
Bird reported that water and sewer are the only expenditures that would
be required in order to have an Urban Homesteading test program. He
requests that Council do two things: (1) of the $75,000 they currently
have, to reserve $30,000 and release the other $45,000 for other
community development projects in the current year; and (2) that they
commence announcements that they are contemplating this program and
looking into doing the 14 lots in the area north of Carver Estates.
Mr. Bird moved that $30,000 in community redevelopment funds be
retained for the purpose of putting sewer lines on the north periphery
of the City owned property so as to make that property available for
test marketing and urban homesteading and, secondly, that the balance of
$45,000 be released to community development for other uses and that
they bring recommendations forward at the next meeting, 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 the following discussion was had: In response
to questions brought up at the last meeting, the City Manager advised
that this project does not interfere with any others; it does not
conflict specifically with the Housing Authority because the Housing
Authority is developing a tract of land to the south of Carver Estates
and this is to the north. One thing that will have to take place in the
development of the guidelines is that 51% of the individuals that
utilize the units would have to be of low or moderate income families.
- 12 - 06/10/86
The indication is that they will have a lot of applicants; the question
is whether or not they will qualify. Staff will be working to establish
guidelines in accordance with federal regulations and then try to work
with the banks to make sure they can get loans.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
30. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval Extension - Lake Ida
Professional Plaza. Council is to consider a request for an 18 month
extension to December 12, 1987 of the conditional use and site plan
approval for Lake Ida Professional Plaza, a 54,712-square foot office
development with drive-thru banking facilities, located at the northwest
corner of Congress Avenue and Lake Ida Road. Current approval will
expire on June 12, 1986. The Planning & Zoning Board and Planning
Director recommend approval subject to the following conditions:
(1) A variance is required in order to reduce the thirty (30)
foot landscape strip along Congress Avenue. Prior to
issuance of any building permit, a site plan must be
approved showing the required or varied landscape strip.
(2) That prior to the issuance of any building permits, an
additional seven (7) feet of right-of-way be dedicated to
the City along Congress Avenue by right-of-way deed.
(3) In addition to road impact fees otherwise required, a
contribution shall be made to the City of Delray Beach to
assist in the construction of two additional lanes on
Congress Avenue (i.e., to ultimately widen the road from
four lanes as programmed to six lanes as planned), along
the frontage of the property.
To ensure that adequate roadway capacity is available to
serve this development in the future, such contribution
shall be made in accordance with the following fair share
formula:
(a) 9 external trips X percent of trips assigned to
Congress Avenue frontage = # assigned trips (AT).
(b) AT divided by capacity of 2 additional lanes (i.e.,
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 on
Congress Avenue = fair share contribution.
The above contribution shall be calculated for the entire
property and each building. Such calculation must be
approved by the City prior to issuance of a building
permit. The amount so derived for each building shall be
paid at the time of the Certificate of Occupancy for that
building. Provided, however, that at such time as Palm
Beach County lets a contract for the construction of the
fifth and sixth lanes on Congress Avenue, the balance of
the total amount due shall be payable to the City by the
owner(s), upon thirty (30) days written notice by the City.
(4) Provide a traffic study in order to reestablish traffic
adequacy and need for turn lanes (per Engineering Division
comments).
(5) The accessibility of the west fire hydrant is obstructed by
the proposed teller drive-thru islands. Relocate fire
hydrant or provide through access (per Fire Department
comments).
(6) That revised water and sewer plans be submitted addressing
the concerns of the Public Utilities Department regarding
water connections as proposed (per Public Utilities
Department comments).
(7) Add a note to the site plan indicating that all irrigation
shall be from a source other than City water.
(8) The new entrance off of Lake Ida Road should align with the
entrance on the south side of Lake Ida Road.
- 13 - 06/10/86
(9) Delete two (2) parking spaces from the southwest corner of
the southerly most parking area to provide the required
setback from Lake Ida Road when the indicated fourteen (14)
foot dedication is conveyed.
(10) This approval will expire within eighteen (18) months
unless at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total cost
of improvements are made by that time. If the approval so
expires, a request for an extension must be made in
accordance with Section 30-21(E) of the Zoning Code.
(11) That the conditions of approval of the original conditional
use and site and development plan remain in effect unless
subsequently modified by this approval.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of an 18 month extension
for Lake Ida Professional Plaza subject to the conditions, 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. Bird, Mr. Cohn advised

plan approval for Morse Cadillac, a six bay addition to an existing body
shop building, a new 20 bay service center, and a new two story service
office building, located south of Linton Boulevard, between South
Federal Highway and Dixie Highway. The Planning & Zoning Board and
Planning Director recommend approval subject to the following
conditions:
(1) That automotive sales be allowed as a conditional use, with
the accessory uses of automotive paint and body shop and
automotive repair shops and garages also allowed.
(2) That only sixteen (16) parking spaces be utilized at this
time for car display. Specifically designate all display
spaces on plan, and on tire stops.
(3) The additional twenty-six (26) feet which is in excess of
the required eighty (80) foot right-of-way for Dixie
Highway be abandoned prior to receipt of a Certificate of
Occupancy and that this area be irrigated and landscaped by
the owner (Hoyle Cadillac-Oldsmobile, Inc.).
(4) That all signs shall have a minimum setback of fifteen (15)
feet and shall conform to the current sign code and be
approved by the Building Department and Community
Appearance Board.
(5) That the site plan be revised to show the following:
(b) A ten (10) foot landscape strip be provided along
Dixie Highway (west frontage) adjacent to the
interior perimeter of the property line, in addition
to the area to be abandoned.
(c) Open the landscape strip on the north end of the
eastern drive which is located in the parking area
directly south of the proposed six (6) bay body shop
addition.

- 14 - 06/10/86
(12) That the fire line proposed for service of the additions
will be maintained by the owner.
(13) This approval will expire within eighteen (18) months
unless at least twenty-five (25) percent of the total costs
of the improvements are made by that time. If the approval
expires, a request for an extension must be made in
accordance with Section 30-21(E) of the Zoning Code.
Mr. Bird moved for conditional use and site plan approval
subject to the conditions, 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.
32. Water Service Agreement - Lot 36, Delray Beach Estates.
Council is to consider a request for approval of a water service
agreement for Lot 36, Delray Beach Estates, located on the east side of
North Federal Highway, between the Delray Drive-In Theatre and
Gulfstream Boulevard. The Planning & Zoning Board and Planning Director
recommend approval.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Cohn, Planning Director,
advised that the new addition conforms to the Land Use Plan but not the
existing building. There is a storage warehouse facility on the
property as well as an existing deteriorated residential unit. The
proposal is to take down the residential unit and replace it with an
office use. The Board felt that, given the fact that the warehouse use
would continue to exist whether in the County or the City, that they
should be looking at the new building being proposed. Since it was
consistent, they recommended approval.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if they should be giving water service
to areas that were exempt from the Enclave Act. Mr. Bird stated that
the language does not preclude voluntary annexation on the part of those
exempt areas; the City Attorney concurred. Mr. Cohn added that the
water service agreement before Council includes an annexation agreement.
Mrs. Horenburger also had concerns about giving water service to areas
exempted from the Enclave Act. Mr. Bird stated he feels they need to
accept and welcome those properties into the City as they become
available subject to reviews by their Boards. Upon question by Mrs.
Horenburger, Mr. Cohn advised that the applicant will be going through
City site plan approval so Council will be seeing it. Further, the
water service agreement states that he agrees to submit to the City's
site plan approval process in accordance with City Codes.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the agreement, 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.
33. Insurance Requirements/Traffic Consultant for Comprehensive
Plan. Council is to consider a request to amend the Walter Keller
contract relative to the insurance requirements.
The City Attorney explained that the Traffic Consultant for the
Comprehensive Plan bid on a contract that had certain insurance require-
ments. He has not met those insurance requirements and is requesting
that the City modify them to the extent of his current insurance as sub-
mitted. The people from Sivers who reviewed it indicated that they do
not meet our requirements, would not provide us the type of liability
coverage that we would otherwise require, but that the risk of potential
liability is more remote than with other consultants. It is a policy
issue whether Council wishes to modify the requirements.
Mrs. Horenburger moved not to modify the insurance require-
ments, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Walter Keller, consultant, stated that his current
insurance coverages have been amended as far as his insurance company
can amend them to provide the City's requirements. He has been advised
by his agent that to meet all the City requirements he would have to go
to another policy which would cost about $1200 and it would probably
take about 30 days for another insurance company to pick it up. They
- 15 - 06/10/86
are doing a planning study for the City; the insurance requirements the
City has adopted are geared more for construction and design activities.
The only disagreement they have is the language that's part of the
binder endorsement that adds the City as additional endorsement; they
have provided all the other coverage. ,
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion to approve the insurance as
submitted by Walter Keller, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.I Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion pass!ed with a 4
to 0 vote. i

BY AMENDING SECTION 30-8.8 "FOSTER HOMES AND GROUP HOMES"
(H) "SPECIAL REGULATIONS", (2) TO PROVIDE MINIMUM
DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS OF 1,500 FEET BETWEEN GROUP HOMES
AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES; PROVIDING A
GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE;

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 41-86
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird questioned why they chose a figure of 1500 feet. Mrs.
Horenburger stated she believes the intent is to prevent many group
homes bunched together in the same area. Mr. Bird felt that what they
are really saying is that they will allow four homes in the City. He
feels they need to review this further to see if that is what they
really intend. It seems to be a very restrictive ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger made a substitute motion to refer this back to
the Planning Department and Planning & Zoning Board for further con-
sideration, 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.
Before roll call, upon question, Mr. Cohn advised that the
current ordinance provides for a 2500 foot separation between homes.
The Planning Department was concerned that they might not be able to
meet all the needs for the various type facilities with that restrictive
a separation requirement so they suggested 1500 feet. However, that
could be modified down to whatever Council feels is appropriate.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 44-86 on First
Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Mayor Campbell noted that they just changed the required
landscaping to ten feet several months ago; he questioned why they are
changing it again.
Mr. Jim Johnson stated the problem was that there is no way to
grant a Variance if its in the landscape code; if it's in the Zoning
Code, one can apply to the Board of Adjustment.
Mayor Campbell had concerns over why they are going through
this twice. Mrs. Horenburger didn't understand the logic of it. Mr.
Bird felt they need the flexibility this provides. Upon question, Mr.
Johnson advised this gives relief to the CBD District. Mayor Campbell
stated this appears to be a staff error and he urged Council to workshop
this as he is very uncomfortable with it.
Mr. Weatherspoon made a substitute motion to postpone this
ordinance and refer it to the workshop meeting, 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 -
