services would like to see. However, they are still finding some
problems in that they have not been invited to any discussions on what
needs to be added or deleted to some of the regulations.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Mr. Zuccala sit down with the
City Manager and Mr. Cohn, Planning Director, and try to work out the
details. Council will be more than happy to respond to any reasonable
request.
Mr. Alan Nobb, 1945 Dixie Highway, Mr. D's Towing and Recovery,
questioned if Council passes this ordinance tonight would they have any
recourse.
Mayor Campbell stated that they could pass this over to the
next meeting; however, he feels it is incumbent upon the towing services
to get with staff and define what they want changed as he does not have
a clear idea of what their complaints are.

(Copy of Ordinance No. 46-86 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public
hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the
laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 46-86
on Second and FINAL Reading, 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.
6. Mayor Campbell stated he understands that Item 6 failed for
lack of a second and he and Mr. Bird apologize for being absent then.
Mr. Bird moved that Item 6 be recalled, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Abstained; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a vote of 3 yes, 1
no and 1 abstain.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty questioned by whose rules are they working on.
Mr. Bird advised they are Roberts Rules. Upon question, the City
Attorney stated he believed a motion to recall to the floor a motion
-4- 7/8/86
which died for lack of a second is proper by someone who was not pre-
sent. Mr. Dougherty stated he would like to see that. Mrs. Horenburger
requested that someone go and get a copy of Roberts Rules and will
abstain from voting until she finds out if they can do this motion or
not.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
The City Attorney advised that there is another solution to
this problem. It is always appropriate, in any parliamentarian aspect,
to make a motion to waive the Rules; they could then redo the motion.
Mr. Bird suggested they postpone 'this item for consideration at
this time and he will bring it up under Non-Agenda items by Council.
Mayor Campbell advised the next five items are hearings on Land
Use Plan Amendments and Rezonings. This is a new procedure, pursuant to
State Law, that the City is having to go through. When a city makes a
change to their Land Use Plan they have to pass on their intent to
Tallahassee for consideration before it comes back to the city. There
is the possibility that there will be four more hearings before the
amendments are final.
10. Public hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoninq - Delray
Town Center/Delray Town Center Executive Plaza. Council is to consider
amendment to the Land Use Plan for a 20-acre parcel from SF (Single
Family) to C (Commercial) and rezoning of the westerly 10 acres (Delray
Town Center) from R-1AA (Single Family Dwelling) District to GC (General
Commercial) District, and rezoning of the easterly 10 acres (Delray Town
Center Executive Plaza) from R-1AA (Single Family Dwelling) District to
POC (Planned Office Center) District. The property is located at the
northeast corner of Linton Boulevard and Military Trail. The Planning
and Zoning Board recommends denial and the Planning Director recommends
approval with conditions.
Mr. Robert Cohn, Planning Director, advised the Planning and
Zoning Board held a public hearing on this amendment and is recommending
denial by a vote of 4-3. However, the Planning Department staff is
recommending approval, subject to conditions primarily relating to
traffic considerations. They are also suggesting that the easterly half
of the property be designated office rather than commercial and recom-
mending that the westerly half be zoned LC (Limited Commercial) rather
than GC (General Commercial). The applicant has agreed to all the
Planning Department's amended conditions.
Dr. Schaff, Hector Morales, Esther O'Keefe, Elaine Roberts and
Ellen Muller spoke in opposition of the proposed land use plan amendment
citing over-commercialization, lack of people leasing the existing
stores and water pressure. They feel the land should be used for homes
not more office space.
Arthur Gendrall, Shadywoods Homeowners Association, spoke in
favor of the amendment and stated that the proposed project is possibly
one of the best they could get at this time. They do not want to see
multi-family residences in the area as it would lower the value of their
homes.
Ron Jones, representing Mr. Gerry Holland, a land owner to the
south of this property, also spoke in favor of the amendment. He stated
the City would be overlooking a great opportunity in not encouraging a
developer of such high quality in pursuing this development.
Mr. William Boos, representing the petitioner, made a presenta-
tion and discussed the merits of the ~proposed project. He referred to
the Land Use Policy Guide and advised that the recommendations made by
staff have been met. He introduced Carole Thompson, Urban Design
Studio, who prepared the market study and Kayhart Pender, David Plummer
& Associates, who prepared the traffic study. Each gave a brief presen-
tation on how they prepared their studies and the results achieved.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to accept the Land Use Plan Amendment
and Rezoning for Delray Town Center/Delray Town Center Executive Plaza,
-5- 7/8/86
subject to the conditions stipulated by the Planning Department's memo
of July 17, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. 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.
The City Attorney advised essentially the motion is to instruct
staff to submit the application to the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) .
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated it is his understanding that it takes
from one year to eighteen months to really occupy a particular complex.
With regard to water pressure, the City is currently under Phase 1 of
the Master Plan in which they are addressing the water pressure through-
out the entire City. The developer has worked very closely with the
neighboring residents to satisfy their concerns and he feels this is
something they should take into consideration.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she has a concern with this petition.
While there has been a market study done with regard to this type of use
she feels the area is over-saturated. She is also concerned about the
traffic in the area and would not be in favor of the petition at this
time.
Mayor Campbell stated if this project is finally approved he
would like to see some additional restrictions placed on the property so
that there could be some specific controls placed on the ultimate use
and development.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 8:17 P.M. The
meeting was reconvened at 8:20 P.M.
11. Public Hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoning - Linton
Lakes. Council is to consider amendment to the Land Use Plan for a
57.71-acre parcel from PRD-10 (Planned Residential, 10 dwelling
units/acre) to POC (Planned Office Center). The property is located at
the southwest corner of Linton Boulevard and Congress Avenue. The
Planning and Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend approval with
conditions.
Mr. Cohn advised that the original application proposed con-
struction of 442,000 square feet of office space. The developer had
previously obtained a binding letter of interpretation in regard to DRI
status on the project and DCA issued that binding letter indicating that
this project was not a DRI. The Planning and Zoning Board in consider-
ing this request was concerned about the potential impact of this
project in the transportation network, particularly Congress Avenue,
Linton Boulevard and 1-95. They were also concerned about the interface
between this project and surrounding residential uses, particularly to
the west as well as to the north and southwest. As a condition of the
P&Z Board, a very comprehensive traffic impact analysis was prepared for
the area. As a result of that analysis, and further discussions regard-
ing the level of impact to the surrounding area from the amount of
office space they were proposing, and because of the input Minto Build-
ers were receiving from the residents, the applicants have amended their
application to limit the amount of office space to no more than 325,000
square feet. They are also proposing to construct, as a buffer, up to
200 residential suites and/or multi-family units to be located on west,
north and south sides of the lake. Therefore, the Planning Department
is recommending approval subject to the 11 conditions listed in their
memorandum of July 3rd.
Mr. Henry Handler, representing Minto Builders, stated that
this project comes before Council with approval from both the P&Z Board
and staff. He feels Linton Lakes has earned such approval because it
represents good planning, economic and tax benefits to Delray Beach and
compromise with neighboring communities. Mr. Handler gave a presenta-
tion on the proposed use of the property.
-6- 7/8/86
Mr. Sigmund Goodwin, 2025 S.W. 35th Avenue, spoke in opposition
of the project and stated he feels it is time for the City to have a
little longer range view towards these requests for rezoning.
Mr. Ralph Lowe, Abbey Delray South, stated that he feels growth
pays the cost of progress. He feels this project is the best use of the
property and will succeed, whereas, putting in single family dwellings
would not and it should be approved.
Mr. Handler stated, with regard to the concern of the use of
the residential components, that a conditional use allowed by the POC
zoning is called residential suite. Minto will maintain ownership of
the property and enter into either long term or short term leases.
Mr. Dougherty moved to instruct staff to submit the application
to the Department of Community Affairs, seconded by Mr. Bird. 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:
Mr. Weatherspoon advised that one of the conditions states that
the commercial property will not have access to Germantown Road.
However, that road is currently being used by the residents in that area
and he feels that, feasibly, a traffic light could be placed there and
not further down the road.
Mr. Cohn stated that because of the concerns that the residents
and the P&Z Board had with regard to access to Germantown Road, the
original recommendation was to restrict access entirely. Minto's
suggestion was that when they do site plans it may be appropriate to
allow some access to the residential portion to the west. At that time
they would study the need for a signal and any other improvements which
may be needed. He is concerned about traffic which may travel west on
Germantown Road to Linton Boulevard and the inadequacy of Germantown
Road and the bridge across the E-4 Canal.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she approves of the concept of this
project; however, she has some serious concerns, the primary one being
traffic. She will reserve her vote for a time when she is assured that
traffic considerations are in place.
Mr. Dougherty stated he is inclined to favor the access on
Germantown Road for the residential area. However, they do have to
address the bridge situation as it is a single lane bridge and can be
dangerous.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 8:53 P.M. The
meeting was reconvened at 8:58 P.M.
12. Public Hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoning - Delray
Beach Housing Authority. Council is to consider amendment to the Land
Use Plan for a 15-acre parcel from SF (Single Family), in part, and R
(Recreation and Open Space), in part, to RM (Residential Medium to
Medium High Density), with a limitation of seven dwelling units per
acre, and rezoning from R-lA (Single Family Dwelling) District to RM
(Medium to Medium High Density Dwelling) District, with a cap of seven
units per acre. The property is located west of S.W. 10th Avenue,
between the Carver Estates development and S.W. 6th Street. The Plan-
ning and Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend approval.
Mr. Bird moved to instruct staff to submit the application to
the Department of Community Affairs, 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.
13. Public Hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoning - Delray
Beach Railroad Depot Company. Council is to consider amendment to the
-7- 7/8/86
Land Use Plan for a 1.66-acre parcel from I (Industrial) to C (Commer-
cial), and rezoning from MI (Medium Industrial) District to GC (General
Commercial) District. The property is located north of West Atlantic
Avenue, between 1-95 and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. The Planning
and Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend approval.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to instruct staff to submit the applica-
tion to the Department of Community Affairs, 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:
Upon question, Mr. Cohn advised it is his understanding that
they are proposing a mixture of retail stores and offices and also
renovation of the existing depot back to its original condition. Mr.
Bird stated his concern is where the traffic access point is going to be
and what kind of provisions will they have to get people in and out.
Mr. Richard Brautigan, representing the petitioner, stated
their primary goal is to restore a building which is part of Delray's
historic fabric; they are not looking to develop specialty shops and
restaurants yet. They are looking into accessibility in the form of a
new crossing between the junkyard and the feed store. There is a 40
foot right-of-way where N.W. 1st street abuts the railroad right-of-way
and they have started discussions with the railroad and the City.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
14. Public Hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoning -
Wiebelt. Council is to consider amendment to the Land Use Plan for a
0.85-acre parcel from MF-15 (Multiple Family - 15 units/acre) to C
(Commercial), and rezoning from RM-15 (Multiple Family Dwelling) Dis-
trict to SC (Specialized Commercial) District. The property is located
on the west side of Florida Boulevard, between Avenue "E" and Avenue
"C". The Planning and Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend
approval, subject to conditions.
Mr. Cohn stated this property is located immediately east of
the Delray Plaza which is designated Commercial and has an SC zoning on
it. This particular parcel is owned by the same property owner and has
a conditional use approval for parking. The owner has applied for a
land use change to Commercial with SC zoning to match the existing
property and is proposing an accessory storage building to the shopping
center. The P&Z Board and Planning Department are recommending the
amendment subject to three conditions which address restricting accessi-
bility to Florida Boulevard, installation of a landscaping and a wall to
match the uses to the south, and a Unity of Title.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to instruct staff to submit the applica-
tion to the Department of Community Affairs, 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:
Mr. Bird stated that as a land use item he can understand
wanting to restrict access to a thoroughfare; however, landscaping and a
wall hardly seem like a land use issue. Mr. Cohn stated there were
concerns expressed by adjacent residents. Upon question, the City
Attorney advised that the landscaping would not be a condition of
approval. Mr. Bird stated they will really deal with that issue as a
site plan issue subsequent to the land use approval. Mr. Cohn suggested
that Council delete that condition at this time.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, Mayor Campbell stated that a
site plan procedure is required before a building permit is issued. The
site plan is incorporated in the rezoning itself, specifying and limit-
ing the uses and the design. If there is any deviation from what was
presented there would have to be a complete rehearing. Mr. Dougherty
-8- 7/8/86
stated that he feels if someone is asking for a rezoning they should
state what they are going to put on the property.
Mr. Bird clarified that the motion is to forward the applica-
tion to the DCA; however, the restrictions are not part of the motion.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
15. Public Hearing on FY85/86 Community Development Block Grant
Program Amendment. Council is to consider amendment to the FY85/86 CDBG
Program by transferring $40,000 from the Land Development Project to the
Housing Rehabilitation. Approval is recommended.
The Assistant City Manager advised that some weeks ago Council
indicated their intention to transfer $40,000 from the Land Development
Project to the Housing Rehabilitation Project. Federal regulations
require that a public hearing be held on that transfer.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve the transfer of $40,000 from
the Land Development Project to the Housing Rehabilitation Project,
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 the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, the City Manager stated the
justification for the transfer of the funds is that Council determined
all they needed for the Land Development Project was $30,000 which is
the balance once the $40,000 is taken out. Staff feels that the Housing
Rehabilitation Project is going to be the most successful; however, you
have to spend the money or it has to be turned back over.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she was reading recently about Broward
County's housing rehabilitation project and the fact that they not only
have the project and funds but they have recently joined forces with the
private sector and local developers to help in housing rehabilitation.
She would like staff to look into Broward's program to see how they can
foster it here in this community.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
16. Mr. Dougherty noted that the minutes of June 24, 1986, Item
9.a.5., fourth paragraph, line 3, should be changed to read as follows:
"... ge~e~e~ gentle persuasion ...".
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of June 24, 1986, as amended, and the Special Meeting of
June 17, 1986, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. 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.
17.a.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated, with regard to the fire bombing which
occurred about a month ago, that he would like to have an update from
the Police Department on their progress in determining the source of
that bombing.
17.a.2. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he noticed last weekend that some of
the Yaweh people were canvassing the area. He understands that by doing
this they are violating the existing City ordinance by going door to
door and soliciting. Rather than cause another confrontation he would
like to have staff move forward on whatever steps have to be taken to
stop this.
-9- 7/8/86
Upon question by Mayor Campbell as to whether or not that is a
violation, the City Attorney advised that it is. Whether or not the
City's ordinance would pass constitutionally is something he would have
to look into; however, the law in the City of Delray Beach is that even
if you are a charitable solicitor you need to get permission from
Council. Mayor Campbell suggested that the City Attorney contact the
head of the organization and notify them that almost all other religious
and charitable organizations, in conducting solicitation drives, for-
mally get approval from Council prior to doing so.
17.a.3. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that several months ago Council ap-
proved $3,000 to board up a house at 418 S.W. 5th Avenue. To date that
house has not been boarded up and is being used by undesirables. The
neighbors in the area would like to see it taken care of as soon as
possible.
17.a.4. Mr. Weatherspoon advised he is chairing a Chamber of Commerce
committee to find out what it would cost to extend the flags westward
along Atlantic Avenue. Once they find out the costs and purchase the
flags they would like to target Labor Day as the time frame to have them
up. The City's staff would take the necessary steps to put the addi-
tional flags up and store them as they are doing with the existing ones.
17.a.5. Mr. Weatherspoon advised that the 2 cent gas tax was passed by
the County Commissioners today and will go into effect in September.
17.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger recognized Mr. Murray Heimowitz from the
Jewish War Veterans and advised that they have requested that they be
allowed to put a monument in Veterans Park honoring their veterans. The
monument will be approximately six feet tall, three or four feet wide
and ten to twelve inches deep and facing east. She is asking that
Council approve this in concept before they order the monument. It will
not be ready until October or November by which time the plan for the
Park will be completed.
It was the consensus of Council to agree to the concept.
17.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger stated that last week she met with Mayor Sam
Thomas from West Palm Beach. They discussed the common problem in the
two cities of drug trafficking and the possibility of getting together
with other cities in the County who have the problem to address some of
the issues related to drug traffic which they have no control of. Some
of those problems are the manpower in the drug enforcement administra-
tion and what the State is doing. They would like to meet with drug
enforcement agency officials as well as local officials and get a
Countywide effort to combat this problem.
17.a.8. Mrs. Horenburger stated she would like either a consensus of
Council or a resolution clarifying their position regarding the County
Planning Council which is being proposed for the ballot. The way it is
currently worded the Municipal League shall make the appointments for
the three largest cities. She feels they need to make it clear to the
County Commission, and the committee studying this, that the three
largest cities would like to be able to make their own appointments to
the Planning Council.
Mr. Bird suggested that they draft a resolution so that every-
one will understand the intent and send copies to Delray's two sister
cities who will be participating in this.
Mrs. Horenburger suggested they direct the Mayor to write a
letter instead of a resolution as it would take two weeks to be adopted.
It was the consensus of Council that Mayor Campbell write a
letter.
17.a.9. Mr. Bird stated that it is his recollection that around the end
of last year Council had made an expression of intent that those proper-
ties east of Germantown Road along Linton Boulevard, which were develop-
ing under POI would continue to develop under those provisions. This was
despite the fact that it was Council's intention to rezone from POI to
POC for land mass size requirements. It was his understanding at that
-10- 7/8/86
time that the work the developers had already undergone would continue
to be acceptable. They had asked them to hold off on site plan approv-
als pending the rezoning so that they would be in the appropriate cat-
egories. The developers are now ready; however, the money which was
spent in reliance upon the POI zoning is now apparently going to be
wasted if they have to go back and meet the POC requirements.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that the ordinance, as written, is
clear and either it is followed or it is not. She is not sure where the
exact problem lies other than with the developer and his plans. Mr.
Bird stated he is not sure the ordinance needs to be changed; his
question is that when Council specifically exempted some properties, was
it their intention to exempt Garfield, Tradewinds and the property on
S.W. 4th Avenue. They were exempted from lot size but he would like to
know what else was intended when they exempted those properties.
Mr. Bird asked that staff research the minutes to see if they
can find Council's intent. If it is not clear, then perhaps Mr.
Garfield should go through a process; if it is clear, then Council
should reaffirm their position.
17.a.10. Mr. Bird stated, with regard to Item 6, that after reviewing
Roberts Rules it appears that an action taken by Council at a public
meeting is still always available to be recalled by those Council
members who were not present.
Mr. Bird moved that Ordinance No. 39-86 be passed on Second and
FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger
- No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. Horenburger stated she has a concern with the enormous
sign which is located on the southwest corner of this property. She
would like to see the sign removed and replaced with a smaller one. Mr.
Bird advised that neither the property nor the sign belongs to Mr.
Wallace who is the applicant; however, he is trying to obtain the land
and, if he does, would probably be amenable to Mrs. Horenburger's
request. Mrs. Horenburger stated she is not very happy with the sign
and would not vote on anything for Mr. Wallace at this point until the
sign comes down.
Mayor Campbell stated that it should also be urged that Mr.
Wallace do something to clean up the lot with regard to illegal parking.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mr. Bird stated, for the record, that the action just taken
only brings in a piece of land which is currently a pocket and had
nothing to do with zoning or land use determinations.
17.a.ll. Mr. Bird stated that due to some time constraints on his time
he has found it difficult to attend the South County Council of Govern-
ments meetings. He asked that he be relieved of that responsibility and
Council assign someone else.
Mr. Bird moved that Mr. Dougherty be assigned as a primary
member to the South County Council of Governments, 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.
17.a.12. Mr. Dougherty stated that in a regular meeting in June it was
the consensus of Council that Mayor Campbell would designate a committee
for negotiations with the County on the courthouse. He questioned if
Mayor Campbell intends to appoint a committee, has he appointed a
committee and if so, who has been appointed.
Mayor Campbell stated the committee consists of himself, Mr.
Lynch or Mr. Stowe from the Community Redevelopment Agency, the City
-11- 7/8/86
Attorney and Mr. Simback.
Mr. Dougherty stated he would like Council to have a special
workshop meeting to discuss the planning and policy with regard to the
courthouse. There are many people who want to know exactly what policy
Council has and what position they are going to take with the County on
all the issues which have been raised so far and those yet to come.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney advised that
he is going on vacation and will return on July 22nd. Mayor Campbell
suggested that when the City Attorney gets back on the 22nd they look at
the calendar and, as soon thereafter, schedule a meeting. Mr. Dougherty
questioned if it is agreed also that there will be no further meetings
with the County until such a meeting is held. Mayor Campbell stated he
feels it is appropriate that if the County has additional information to
relay to Council then they get as much information to bring to their
meeting.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that on July 29th there will be a
special workshop meeting to discuss the Police Department. He feels
that they could also include this item. Mayor Campbell stated he would
rather not dilute that meeting and they will have another meeting after
the 22nd.
17.a.13. Mr. Dougherty stated, with regard to the Golf Course survey and
investigation, that it is his understanding that the City Attorney
initiated such a survey and he would like to see a report on that.
The City Attorney advised the forms they had been working on to
be signed by people giving specific incidents were not finalized nor
distributed based on his direction from Council Members that it was not
their intent to go that path.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney clarified
that he was informed by the persons who discussed the issue and made the
direction that it was inappropriate, not Council's intent and that what
they were doing was beyond that scope. The intent was for his office to
analyze and scrutinize the agreement and to provide Council with a
response based upon the information they then had at hand; not to go out
and seek or obtain additional items or testimony.
Mayor Campbell stated that if Mr. Dougherty wishes to discuss
this further that he place it on a workshop agenda. Also, he should
define the course of action that he sees Council needs to follow.
17.a.14. Mr. Dougherty stated that High Point Section 7 is having a
problem with their water pressure. He questioned if the operation of
the distribution system is being operated properly; the last two com-
plaints he had were about the pressure between the hours of 12:00 a.m.
and 1:00 a.m.
The City Manager advised he will have the City's consulting
engineers look into this.
17.a.15. Mayor Campbell stated he attended the last Municipal League
meeting and the proposed Planning Council format, as presented to the
County Commission from the Task Force, was found to be a superseding
body rather than creating a document and body which would be an ar-
bitrator. He does not feel that we, as a community, intended to give up
our inherent zoning rights to a County organization, especially when
there is no guarantee that they might have a seat. He has asked that
Mr. Cohn furnish a copy of those documents to Council and, if they wish
to discuss it further, they can do so at the workshop meeting on Tues-
day.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she would like to discuss the Planning
Council further and will advise the City Manager to place it on the
agenda. Mr. Bird requested they get a legal opinion from the City
Attorney. Mayor Campbell advised that the City Attorney is going to be
contacted by Mr. Nicoletti, who has been retained by the Municipal
League as advisor, requesting that he look at this closely. Mr.
Nicoletti has advised that there are certain serious legal ramifications
-12- 7/8/86
the way it has been adopted. Mayor Campbell stated he would have
serious consideration whether or not there is appropriate notice under
constitutional requirements the way it has been structured to appear on
the ballot.
17.a.16. Mayor Campbell stated, with regard to the Housing Authority,
that the law, as it currently exists, requires that Council either have
a resident, or someone who is participating in a program being admin-
istered by the Housing Authority, on that Board. They do not have such
a person on there and, rather than dismiss anyone, he thought it would
be more appropriate that they appoint a new person. That would make six
members and to round it out more appropriately to have seven members,
and additional input from the community, he would like to make a recom-
mendation that they expand it from five to seven members. He would like
Council to consider the appointments of Mr. David Hornsby, a resident of
Carver Estates, and Mr. Michael Plum, who has been active in several
organizations and boards in the City.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the names as submitted by
Mayor Campbell, 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.
17.a.17. Mayor Campbell stated that they have been discussing Atlantic
Avenue and the parking. He would like to bring this up at the next
workshop meeting and asked that each Council Member think about the
problem and what they are going to be doing with regard to (1) the
illegal parking and use of lots as illegal parking and (2) the ramifica-
tion of that which will be that if they theoretically close the lots or
restrict them it could adversely affect some of the commercial develop-
ment.
17.a.18. Mayor Campbell stated, for Council's consideration, that he
would like to get some information on the long-term spacial needs at
City Hall. He finds it very disturbing that when he comes to the
building he does not have a telephone to use. They have also talked
briefly about carpeting the Council Chambers. He feels it may be
appropriate to consider another Council Chamber, a room physically
detached from this building. There is no reason to have this entire
building open to the public for meetings and it may be more commodious
to have a building adjacent to City Hall. He is not asking for a
consensus, only that Council think about this.
17.a.19. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation proclaiming July 20-26,
1986, as "Fight Against Muscular Dystrophy Week".
17.b.1. The City Attorney advised that Council has been furnished, a
week in advance, a memo in response to Council's inquiries concerning
the Impact Fees on the proposed Capital Improvement Projects for the
Beach Area.
17.b.2. The City Attorney stated that approximately one year ago
Council authorized the sale, by Quit-Claim deed, of a parcel of property
to Durante-Strock, Inc. The City could not find the Title to this
property; however, Mrs. Durante was willing to purchase it by Quit-Claim
deed. Durante-Strock, Inc., are in the process of attempting to perfect
Title to remove a claim against the title by a particular individual.
What they need from the City, as grantor on the Quit-Claim Deed, is
permission to institute a Quiet Title action. Council has been fur-
nished a proposed letter and what he would need is for Council to ratify
the sending of this letter to give Durante-Strock, Inc., permission to
institute a Quiet Title action with regard to Lot 24, Block A, Westside
Heights.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify the letter as advised by the City
Attorney, 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.
-13- 7/8/86
Mayor Campbell left the Council Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon took the chair.
17.c.1. The City Manager requested that Item 25 be postponed until the
July 22nd Council meeting.
17.c.2. The City Manager reported that they have finally hired a
contractor to tint the windows in the Council Chambers and the work is
scheduled to be done on July 14th.
17.c.3. The City Manager stated that on July 14th the downtown one-way
pair system will be opened.
17.c.4. The City Manager advised he was going to address the same issue
as the City Attorney with regard to the financing of the Capital Im-
provements for the beach area. If Council wishes they could place this
on the workshop agenda as there are some very specific items.
Upon question, the City Manager stated that the letter from the
City Attorney basically states that the shelters, benches, road paving
and walkways would be eligible under the Impact Fees; the other items
would come from the Erosion Control. Council had requested that the
City Attorney make a ruling on this and it is up to Council when they
want to bring it back or move forward on the project.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, the City Manager advised there
are sufficient funds in the Recreational Impact Fees for the four items
referenced; the rest of the project would be financed from interest on
the Beach Restoration Fund.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the Administration to undertake
appropriate action to do the improvements, with the source of funding as
indicated, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote.
17.c.4. The City Manager stated that at the last workshop meeting
Council discussed the garbage pickup service at the Imperial Villas
Condominium complex. Unfortunately, this was not placed on tonight's
agenda and he was asked to bring this up tonight. They will simply be
going from Service D to Service C; there will be a reduction to the City
in cost and also a reduction to the residents.
Mr. Bird moved to approve Amendment No. 5 to the Waste Manage-
ment Contract and a new service area map in accordance with that,
seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Vice-Mayor
Weatherspoon - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
17.c.5. The City Manager stated he needs to have an answer tonight as
to whether or not Council wishes to schedule the referendum for the
annexation for September 2nd Primary Election or for the November
Election. If they decide to go ahead with the Primary then the City has
to file the question with Jackie Winchester's Office by July 18th. The
City Attorney and City Clerk have most of the material prepared.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that they do have two options; however,
those are the only two options. She would be in favor of putting it on
the September 2nd Primary Election ballot so that if there were some
minor error or something comes up it could be placed on the November
Election.
Mr. Bird stated he would disagree with Mrs. Horenburger in that
this may be the most important vote they ask the citizens to participate
in and with the amount of time they have until November they could make
sure that nothing could go wrong. Mr. Dougherty concurred with Mr.
Bird.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
-14- 7/8/86
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the forecasters are projecting a
low turnout for the Primary due to the fact that it is the day after
Labor Day and a lot of people will be out of town. He feels it would be
more appropriate to have this on the November ballot.
Mayor Campbell stated he would like to see it as early as
possible so that if they do run into any difficulties they will not be
foreclosed. If they miss it in November then the only recourse is the
Legislature again.
It was the consensus of Council to go with the November elec-
tion.
17.d.1. Mr. Jack Kellerman, member of the Planning and Zoning Board,
read a prepared statement from the Board regarding action taken by
Council at their June 23rd meeting on the final plat approval for
Alfiere-Pugliese. The Board is concerned that proper procedure was not
followed in this approval process and request that Council revisit this
item.
17.d.2. Mr. Lorenzo Hawthorn questioned the Community Redevelopment
Agency's structure, noting that most of its members have outside inter-
ests. Also, there is not anyone in the Agency from the area which is
most affected which is West Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and
1-95.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. David Randolph is the represen-
tative from that area and suggested that Mr. Hawthorn contact him.
17.d.3. Mrs. Hortense Wilmont, 24 S.W. Angler Drive, presented a
petition to Council requesting that a complete investigation be made of
the Delray Beach Police Department with regard to drug activities as a
result of the resignation of Officer Breland.
17.d.4. Mrs. Rosetta Rolle, President of the Delray Beach Voters
League, concurred with Mrs. Wilmont and stated it is also her concern
that a complete investigation be made.
17.d.5. Mr. David Cohen, Legislative Chairman for the Palm Beach County
Chapter of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association,
advised that he has furnished Council with some information regarding
this disease. He made a presentation outlining the work of the Associa-
tion and requested that Council consider including the Alzheimer's
Disease and Related Disorders Association in their next budget.
17.d.6. Dr. William Echols stated that some months ago he was named to
the Human Relations Committee. Because of illness he missed a meeting
and upon inquiry after that as to why the group had not met he was told
there was difficulty getting a quorum. His concern is that there are
matters still pending that have not been dealt with. He questioned if
there is any precedent or procedure whereby Council can prod a board
into more activity.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. Straghn and Mrs. Greene have
been notified that there are two appointments to be made and they have
promised that within the week he will have two names.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
17.d.7. Mr. James Bowen, 116 Marine Way, stated that he feels the beach
is looking very nice at the moment; however, it does not get the use it
should as there is not enough parking. He advised that at the north end
of the beach there is a parcel of vacant land which is up for sale and
suggested that Council look into purchasing it.
17.d.8. Mr. Virgil Norris stated he agrees with Mr. Dougherty in his
idea of having a workshop on the courthouse situation. He feels they
need to know which things are negotiable and which are not, how much
money they are willing to spend and what the limits are.

Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 47-86
on First Reading, 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:
Mr. Dougherty stated he is concerned about giving Council carte
blanche to waiver everything it sees fit without due process of notice.
He feels they should contact all parties who are directly, or in-
directly, affected by such a waiver. Mrs. Horenburger stated that if
they were waiving something like a solicitation it would be City-wide
and they would have to notify every citizen.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews advised that this ordinance came about
because of an ordinance which was proposed to be waived without any
notice last fall and they felt that there should be some public notice.
Mayor Campbell stated that the whole idea was that Council
could act like a chancery body and waive an ordinance in a specific case
when they did not want to change the ordinance City-wide.
Mrs. Matthews stated that anyone who really wants to keep track
of what Council is doing would find the information on their agenda, if
not in the newspaper.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels this ordinance could also include
a provision that if people are specifically affected by a waiver then
they be notified directly.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Mr. Dougherty write out the
language which he feels would be appropriate as an amendment. As soon as
it is written out and given to the City Attorney then they can determine
if they can go to second reading or if it will have to go back to first
reading.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:56 P.M.
