BUDGET CONSIDERATION
5. Levying of Tax Rate. Resolution No. 51-86, relative to levying
a tax on all properties within the City of Delray Beach, is before
Council for consideration. Prior to consideration of passage of this
Resolution a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 51-86:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, TO LEVY A TAX ON ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR MAINTENANCE AND
OPERATION, AND TO LEVY A TAX FOR THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST ON BONDED INDEBTEDNESS, AND TO ALLOCATE AND
APPROPRIATE SAID COLLECTIONS THEREUNDER.
(Copy of Resolution No. 51-86 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
The City Attorney read the Resolution in full. 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.
Elaine Roberts, 312 North Swinton Avenue, questioned if there
is an appropriation in the budget for the City Hall expansion. Mayor
Campbell advised that under the current capital outlay there is an
appropriation.
Mrs. Roberts questioned why the money is in the budget when
they probably will not expend it in the next year. Mayor Campbell
advised they will be discussing this after the public hearing is closed.
Mrs. Roberts stated she is glad to see that they have started paving the
streets; however, she hopes that once that is completed they will
provide for sidewalks.
Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, member of the Beautifica-
tion Trust Committee, stated that they are requesting that Council
allocate some money for the proposed medians in a separate line item; it
is her understanding that it was not done.
The public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she has a concern with appropriating
1.3 million dollars for the expansion and/or improvement of City Hall.
She feels it would be prudent to cut 1 million dollars from that amount
and leave the remaining portion to begin studies and plans of all the
City's facilities and land. She discussed this today with the City
Manager and Finance Director and also asked about the proposed 1%
franchise fee on the telephone system. With those two items taken into
account they could reduce the millage rate to 5.8124.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he has no problem with reducing
the millage rate and, in his opinion, feels it would be appropriate to
take out the funds contemplated for the City Hall expansion.
Mr. Bird stated they have an opportunity to fund some needed
capital improvements out of a special fund which has been set up, the
proceeds of which may or may not be available to them in future years.
Mayor Campbell stated it is his understanding that it would net
a cost to the City for the first year and that by eliminating that cost
it would affect the millage rate by about 11 cents. Mr. Huddleston,
Finance Director, advised it would be a net cost to the City for the
first year. What they are really doing is trading 1986/87 for a year at
the end of the 20 year cycle. The concept of the program is that as
monies are paid back they will try to make those monies again available
for later draws. They are also going to try and guarantee that if a
City only draws half of their amount that the remaining monies will be
available.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Huddleston advised that
at the 5.8124 millage rate it is cutting out the 1.3 million dollars of
the Capital Improvements.
Mr. Bird stated that if they are in for 1/2 million dollars,
they could leave the City Hall funding in and determine that they are
not going to take the money until after the first quarter. This would
save them more money than if they took 1 million out.
Mr. Dougherty stated that Council had a Capital Improvements
program presented to them which was scheduled over a five year period
and amounts to 5 million dollars. He questioned how they arrived at
that figure as he used what was in the budget and it does not amount to
that.
The City Manager stated that if you total the listings in the
budget you are not going to come to the figures presented tonight.
After they completed the initial budget the new financing program came
along and they pulled a lot of programs that were in the General Operat-
ing Revenues or revenues from their special funds. They checked to see
how many of those programs they could put together in a package under
the financing program. Therefore, the amounts in the budget will change
from what was projected in the original 10 million dollars.
Upon question, Mr. Huddleston advised that if they were to take
the 1 million out they would be looking at a balance of approximately
$355,000 to fund the Capital Improvements program. The nice part of the
-2- 9/23/86
new program is that it allows some flexibility; it is not a project
defined borrowing, it is an availability of funding and the reliability
and credit worthiness of the City of Delray Beach. They can take the
money in increments, over a period of time, and not be obligated for the
interest until they draw it.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 51-86,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Huddleston advised that there is a typographical error in
Section 1 of this resolution. Where it reads 5.999 it should read 5.28
for the operating millage only.
Mayor Campbell stated he will have to oppose the adoption of
the millage at 5.9999 as it does not take into consideration the addi-
tional revenue which will be coming to the City from the increase base
on the taxes they will levy from utilities.
Mr. Bird stated they do not have a figure on what additional
costs they are going to bear as they go through the provisions of the
Enclave Act. He does not know that they can determine what the new
utility tax is going to produce either. Based on the experiences of
some cities, their revenues were over exaggerated in their budget
calculations and they have experienced significant problems in dealing
with the smaller carriers of long distance. He does feel they should
take advantage of the program as it is presented. However, he feels
that it may be over subscribed and they should try to protect themselves
with the low cost borrowing. He would like to see the full Capital
Improvements program brought before Council for discussion to prioritize
it.
Mayor Campbell stated he would urge that Council not adopt the
motion since Mr. Huddleston has, essentially, told them that they can
make the adjustment in the Capital Outlay regarding City Hall, if not
the total funding package. If they adopt the 5.9999 millage rate they
are taxing people to put money in the bank and he feels that is very
imprudent. If they adopt the suggested figure of 5.8124 they can still
maintain everything that they have in the current operating budget and
have a viable program without the need to add surplus to surplus.
Mrs. Horenburger made a substitute motion to approve Resolution
No. 51-86 with an amendment to it that the millage rate be changed to
5.8124 and that the other figures in the Resolution addressing the
millage be adjusted accordingly, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, the City Attorney and Mr. Huddleston advised
Council of what the changes to the Resolution would be.
6. Federal Revenue Sharing. A Public Hearing on the Federal
Revenue Sharing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
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.
Semmie Taylor stated that many of the residents of Delray have
left to go to other cities because of housing. The City of Boca Raton
uses some of the funds from their Federal Revenue Sharing to completely
raze houses and rebuild them. He feels that Council should consider
this.
The public hearing was closed.
7. Appropriations for the 1986/87 Budget. Resolution No. 52-86,
relative to making appropriations of sums of money for all necessary
expenditures of the City from October 1, 1986 to September 30, 1987, is
before Council for consideration. Prior to consideration of passage of
this resolution a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this
time.

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 returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 58-86
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if this ordinance would be discrimina-
tory since they are singling out a segment of the community. The City
Attorney advised that as long as they have a rational basis for deter-
mining that they need to be treated differently then they could defend
those kinds of allegations. It is his understanding that because of
the widths of the roads, and their designation as major arterials as
well as their impact as entranceways, that is the factual basis as
recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board.
Mr. Bird stated he understands the rationa~ as provided by the
City Attorney; however, he would find it difficult to categorize Dixie
Highway as either a divided, major or arterial road.
Robert Cohn, Planning Director, stated that as far as Dixie
Highway is concerned, the Board and staff's feeling was that they wanted
to do whatever they could to upgrade the appearance of an arterial road
in the City, whether or not its divided. However, they did recognize
the fact that there are some smaller parcels of land in certain portions
of Dixie Highway and because of that, rather than applying the 30 foot
building setback, the ordinance provides for the same 10% provision in
regard to building setbacks as landscape area.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels that Dixie Highway is a well
travelled road and is being improved and expanded in the Boca area. She
-5- 9/23/86
agrees with the Board that along that road they need whatever improve-
ments they can get.
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion that they adopt Ordinance No.
58-86 with the deletion of Dixie Highway, deal with that issue and come
back at a time when they can either justify it in conformance with some
definition that would be equally applicable to the full length of all
the roads involved, 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.
Before roll call the City Attorney advised that the substitute
motion would delete the paragraph in the caption of the Ordinance
relative to Dixie Highway, delete Section 2 and renumber the following
sections appropriately.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
10. Ordinance No. 59-86 - Amending Zoning Code - Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Treatment Facilities and Abused Spouse Residences. Ordinance No.
59-86, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative
to amending distance requirements for alcohol and drug abuse treatment
facilities and abused spouse residences, is before Council for consider-
ation on Second and FINAL Reading. Prior to consideration of passage of
this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
-7- 9/23/86
13. Mr. Dougherty moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of September 9, 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.
Mayor Campbell stated that at the last regular meeting Mr.
Dougherty brought up the subject of vacancies on the Planning and Zoning
Board. They have received a great number of applications and he sug-
gested that the City Manager collect all of the names and resumes, put
them together in a packet and distribute it to Council. Council can
then make the appointments at a Special Meeting next week.
14.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated he feels Council should discuss the
Capital Improvements program at their next workshop meeting. They
should not only approve the projects, but also the schedule and this
should be done as soon as possible. He requested that Council consider
this for their next workshop and have all the materials presented and
available.
14.a.2. Mr. Dougherty stated that in reviewing the budget he noticed
that they put the golf course and restaurant in one figure. He would
like to see, in the future, that they be carried as two separate items
so that they can identify the revenues and costs from both facilities.
14.a.3. Mr. Dougherty questioned the status of the Management Study
proposals.
The City Manager advised they have talked to all four firms;
several of them are planning on resubmitting their proposals and one has
indicated that they are going to leave their proposal as is. He expects
to receive all the proposals within two weeks.
14.a.4. Mr. Bird stated that in the spring they allocated funds to take
care of the air conditioning at the golf course and, to date, the work
has not been done. He would like the City to meet their goals as they
are more important than the procedures.
14.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated, with regard to the air conditioning at
the golf course, that she has heard one of the problems is the fact that
it is turned on just before people come into the restaurant, not early
enough to cool the room. She requested that staff suggest that some
policy be established on the part of the operators to see that this is
done.
14.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger stated that at the Florida League of Cities
meeting a resolution was brought forward regarding drug related crimes
and asking that the Legislature call a special session to address those
issues. There was some concern on the part of the Resolutions Committee
that the Legislators would be too busy to address this problem so it was
passed on to another committee and not adopted. She spent several days
amending the resolution to address more specifically drug related crime.
She was later informed that a report is coming to the Legislature in
November and that they would like a week or two to absorb that report.
Mayor Campbell made a presentation to the General Body and the amended
resolution was passed. The League of Cities was going to be sending
this resolution to various County Leagues and asking that all cities
adopt it.
Mr. Bird moved that they adopt the Resolution approved by the
Florida League of Cities and direct that the City Attorney draft it in
City form for submission to the Legislature, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger.
The City Attorney presented Resolution No. 54-86:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO
CONVENE IN SPECIAL SESSION FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING
SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS TO THE RISING CRISIS OF DRUG-RELATED
CRIME WITHIN FLORIDA'S BORDERS.
8 9/23/86
(Copy of Resolution No. 54-86 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion to approve Resolution No.
54-86, 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.
14.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger stated she read an article this morning
regarding the Aid to Victims of Domestic Assault facility which is
located in the City of Delray Beach. In the budget they did appropriate
$4,000 as a contribution to that facility; however, they are having
great difficulty finding donations and funds to support it. She sug-
gested that Council ask surrounding cities, who are also served by this
agency, and the County to look at their funding of the facility.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that the City of Delray Beach look to
their Contingency, or another fund, and come up with another $6,000 to
round it off to a $10,000 contribution, just so they can keep their
doors open until they can find some other funding, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
Mr. Dougherty stated he has no problem with giving them
$10,000. However, he feels that Council should really come up with a
policy to put a limit on these requests. He suggested that it be placed
on the next agenda.
Mayor Campbell requested that this item be placed on the next
agenda for discussion of a potential policy on how to handle charitable,
benevolent contributions.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated his only concern is that they have not
received anything officially in writing from the facility stating what
their budget is like. He does not feel that Council should allocate any
money to any organization based on what is read in the papers.
Mrs. Horenburger amended her motion to require that before any
disbursement of funds the agency give Council a copy of their budget and
make a presentation, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion FAILED by a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call Mr. Bird stated he is going to vote no on the
motion because they have not established the policy; not because he does
not recognize the need. He would like to see the policy before they do
the expenditures.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mr. Bird moved that this be added as a special agenda item of
policy to follow the workshop next week and that someone from the
facility bring the information so that Council can review it, 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 - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
14.a.8. Mrs. Horenburger stated, with regard to the Public Hearing
portion of the agenda, that she feels that Council should be prepared to
answer any questions the public might have.
14.a.9. Mr. Weatherspoon stated, with regard to a memorandum Council
received in their agenda package, that the Fire Department rendered a
service to a citizen and that individual took the time to send a memo
thanking them for the professional service. He feels this is worth
noting as most of the time people do not take the time to say thank you.
14.b.1. The City Attorney stated Council was furnished a copy of his
September 17th memorandum concerning the appointment of the new Assis-
tant City Attorney. He is recommending that Council appoint Susan Ruby
as the new Assistant City Attorney; however, as she has yet to be sworn
-9- 9/23/86
in to the Bar she would be appointed as a Law Clerk and, immediately
upon her being sworn in, she would be elevated to Assistant City Attor-
ney I position. Her salary would be $20,000 to start and upon her
elevation it would rise to $27,500. The other terms and conditions are
outlined in his memo.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the appointment as outlined by the
City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council

14.c.1. The City Manager stated that Council received a letter from the
County Intergovernmental Affairs Office relative to the establishment of
a County/City workshop which the Board of County Commissioners have been
talking about. He has been asked to find out whether or not Council
would be interested in doing something like this. If so there are three
questions: (1) what the meeting date should be - they are recommending
November 12th or 19th; (2) the items they would like to have on the
agenda and (3) location or site.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Council think about things they
may want to discuss and they can talk about it next Tuesday.
Mrs. Horenburger advised that since the letter was sent it has
been determined that the location would probably be Palm Beach Junior
College and that they are primarily concerned with problems regarding
communication.
14.c.2. The City Manager stated, with regard to the tennis court lights
at Pompey Park, that the Director of Parks and Recreation has been
working on getting this program accomplished. They have been able to
make some appropriate transfers of money and would like them committed
from this budget. They have taken bids and Randy Enterprises is the low
bidder at $12,960 with funds to come from existing funds within the
Parks and Recreation budget.
Mr. Bird moved to award the bid to Randy Enterprises in the
amount of $12,960 with funds to come from the Parks and Recreation
budget, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;

October 12th as "Fallen Firefighters Memorial Day".

there be a motion to adopt a rule of procedure to change the form of the
agenda to put all official proclamations prior to the public hearings,
perhaps between Items 3 and 4.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved that they adopt a rule of procedure to
have all official proclamations between Items 3 and 4, 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.
14.d.1. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated that having seen
the interminable amounts of time it takes for people who get contracts
with the City to deliver or take action, she wonders if there is any way
to determine whether or not the contractor is able to deliver, or has
the capacity to do so. She feels that they may be better off paying a
little more and taking a reliable person for City projects.
14.d.2. Elaine Roberts, 312 North Swinton Avenue, stated that at some
time or another action is taken on an item which does not appear on the
-10- 9/23/86
agenda. She requested that Council not take action on anything which is
not on the agenda. Mrs. Roberts also requested that whenever they have
many applicants for positions on City boards that they make available
the names.
14.d.3. Mrs. Roberts stated that crime affects everyone in the City.
She advised that she has been collecting newspaper articles for some
time and read a few of them which contained information on how other
cities have dealt with the problem.
14.d.4. Reverend Semmie Taylor stated he feels the CRA is doing a very
good job with regard to housing; however, the projections are a little
lengthy before they do something for the housing needs.
14.d.5. Reverend Taylor stated, with regard to Dixie Highway, that he
feels they have an acute problem with this road and they need to look at
it very carefully.
14.d.6. Reverend Taylor stated that the City is spending $75,000 for a
consultant firm to tell them what they are doing. He feels they have
the intelligence to make their own decisions and do not need anyone
else.

a request for site plan approval for The Extra Closet, a proposed 76,230
square foot enclosed dry storage facility, located on the east side of
Military Trail, immediately north of the new Post Office. The Planning
and Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend approval, subject to
the following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements
1. Per Water Service Agreement, site plan approval is required
from the City prior to the issuance of a Building permit from
the County.
2. Per Section 30-16(0) a thirty (30) foot landscape strip is
required along Military Trail, no advertising signs will be
allowed in the setback.
3. The location, height and design of the main advertising sign
shall be approved by the Community Appearance Board and the
Building Department. This sign should be a ground sign.
4. For warehouse and storage uses, Section 30-18(D) (3) requires
one (1) parking space per 1,000 square feet of total floor
area. Seventy-seven (77) spaces would therefore be required
for this proposal under the closest category presently con-
tained in the City's Zoning Code. The Technical Review Commit-
tee recommends that only thirty (30) spaces be provided,
however, based upon the self-storage nature of the use and its
minimum traffic impacts.
5. Parking stalls shall be double-striped.
6. No provision is made on the site plan for truck loading.
Therefore, a twelve (12) foot loading area should be provided
along the building. This area shall be in addition to the main
driveway width requirement for two lanes.
7. All site lighting must be directed away from adjacent proper-
ties.
8. Dumpsters shall be placed on a concrete pad.
9. Provide further clarification on floor plan of use of interior
as only one area of storage lockers is shown.
10. Specify berm height, minimum three (3) feet.
11. Indicate scale and dimension for the floor plan. Floor plan
seems to reflect only a portion of one of the proposed build-
ings. If this is to be constructed in phases it should be
noted and phase lines indicated. Site plan shows rectangular
buildings where building plans are for square buildings.
12. Show the conceptual water, sewer, paving, grading, and drainage
plans on a single 24" x 36" sheet. Include all existing
utilities connecting to or adjacent to the tract.
13. Show contours on site and 125 feet off site in all directions.
14. The drainage system should be shown in concept from on the site
plan and is subject to SFWMD and LWDD approval. Generally the
criteria is to retain the first one inch of rainfall for the
total area of the site plan. Show existing drainage facilities
on site and 125 feet off site in all directions. On site
drainage shall be privately owned and maintained.
15. It will be necessary to meet the right-of-way requirements of
the Traffic ways Plan for Palm Beach County by right-of-way
dedication from the site plan. Show all adjacent and opposing
roadways and driveways within 125 feet of the site plan includ-
ing right-of-way and paving widths.
16. The developer shall provide an approved on-site traffic plan
showing all traffic signs and painted pavement markings such as
STOP signs at the exit, HANDICAP PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT
-13- 9/23/86
ONLY, LOADING ZONE, NO LEFT TURN, etc., parking space striping,
bumper stops, stop bars, etc., prior to building permits.
17. Deleted.
18. Plans for appropriate lighting of the right-of-way as well as
the on site complex should be shown schematically.
19. A survey showing distances, bearings, angles, etc., with a
written legal description tied to a 1/4 section corner, PRM's,

along with all existing easement, O.R. book and page, existing
structures within the site, etc.
20. Utility easement for water and sewer main extensions is re-
quired by the City.
Staff Recommendations
The following item was recommended as an additional condition of ap-
proval to the Planning and Zoning Board in accordance with Sections
30-21(B) and (D) and 30-22(B) and (D) of the Code of Ordinances. While
this proposed requirement is not specified in the code it is intended to
assure that the public health, safety and welfare is protected in the
vicinity of this site. Such findings must be made by the Board prior to
any development approval.
21. Upgrade the appearance of the north and south elevation of the
westerly building (Phases I and II) consistent with the west
elevation to diminish the industrialized look within a commer-
cial and residential area.
Community Appearance Board
22. Air conditioning compressors to be located on the south side of
the property and appropriately screened with landscaping.
23. Maintain hedge at six (6) foot height adjacent to Post Office
property.
24. Trees should be allowed to achieve and maintain mature height
and crown.
Procedural Requirements
25. That all improvements be completed in accordance with the
approved site plan.
26. This approval will expire within eighteen (18) months unless at
least twenty-five (25%) percent of the total cost of improve-
ments are made by that time. If the approval expires, request
for extension must be made in accordance with Section 30-22(E)
of the Zoning Code.
27. This approval will expire unless three (3) copies of the
revised plans addressing all the conditions noted above are
submitted to the Planning Department within thirty (30) days of
City Council's approval.
28. Shift the asphalt parking area five (5) feet to the south and
increase the landscaping area by five (5) feet adjacent to the
building, including the addition of trees.
29. The perimeter walls and landscaping for the entire site shall
be installed with the construction of the first phase.
30. All undeveloped phases that are cleared and graded shall be
sodded and maintained to reduce dust and weeds.
31. Construct building of CBS with stucco and stone rather than
metal and provide pitched roofs to reduce the industrialized
appearance. Obtain CAB approval of revised elevations. (Note:
Deleted when motion made).
Kieran Kilday, representing the applicant, stated that the only
conditions he would like to comment on are Items 21 and 31 which bas-
ically address the same issue. The P&Z Board is recommending that the
buildings be constructed of CBS; however, they are metal buildings which
are built as a cost-cutting measure. The matter which really concerns
the public is the frontage on Military Trail and they did agree to
provide a stucco and stone frontage on that portion of the building.
-14- 9/23/86
Mrs. Horenburger questioned if it would be possible, on the
western portion of the front building, to do the stucco and stone as
they are planning to do on the front.
Mr. Kilday stated that that portion will not be visible as they
have taken the entry road and looped it in so that they can place a berm
on either side.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she is concerned with having a view of
all the metal siding from Military Trail going north. If some facing
could be addressed she would be willing to agree to his request regard-
ing Item 31 of the P&Z Board's recommendation.
Mr. Kilday advised that they could take the stone and take it
around the corner a distance of approximately 25 feet which would create
a transition. They will also be putting in a ten foot landscape across
the entire south side.
Mr. Dougherty moved for site plan approval for The Extra
Closet, with the exception of Item 31 and incorporating 25 feet of stone
on the south side, seconded by Mr. Bird. 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.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
26. Ordinance No. 64-86 - Utility Service Tax on Local Telephone
Service. Ordinance No. 64-86, amending Chapter 25 "Taxation" of the

27. Ordinance No. 65-86 - Bill Wallace Ford Rezoninq. Ordinance
No. 65-86, rezoning a 2.44-acre parcel from POC (Planned Office Center)
District to SC (Specialized Commercial) District, located on the east
side of Germantown Road, between Linton Boulevard and Queens Avenue, is
before Council for consideration on First Reading. It is designated C
(Commercial) on the City's Land Use Plan. If passed, Public Hearing
will be held October 14th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 65-86:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED
POC (PLANNED OFFICE CENTER) DISTRICT IN SC (SPECIALIZED
COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT, LOTS 22, 23, 24, 25 AND 26, AND
LOTS 48, 49, 50 AND 51 LESS THE SOUTH 23 FEET THEREOF,
SANDS O'SEA, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF, AS RECORDED
-15- 9/23/86
IN PLAT BOOK 21, PAGE 27, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM
BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA. SAID LAND IS LOCATED ON THE EAST
SIDE OF GERMANTOWN ROAD, BETWEEN LINTON BOULEVARD AND
QUEENS AVENUE, AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, 1983"
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 65-86
on First Reading, 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 - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Roger Saberson, representing the applicant, stated that the
remaining, outstanding issue which applies to this application is the
manner in which the removal of the dealership from Federal Highway to
Germantown Road will be accomplished in conjunction with a restriction
of the automotive use currently on the property on Federal Highway.
They have had numerous discussions with P&Z Board members and considered
various proposals which have been presented. They are willing to
propose the alternative of having a temporary restriction on the Federal
Highway property, either a loan or in combination with a voluntary
rezoning application to rezone it from SC to GC. The combination of the
two would be to eliminate automotive use on the Federal Highway prop-
erty.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Saberson advised that
the temporary deed restriction they have submitted to the City Attorney
and Planning Director is a two year deed restriction which will give
them time to facilitate the rezoning to GC and construct the new facil-
ity at Germantown Road and Linton Boulevard. As soon as the new site is
ready, within the two year period, then they will move and the applica-
tion for GC zoning will go forward on the old property.
Helen Coopersmith, 1222-D South Drive Way, stated that the Land
Use Plan Committee decided that they wanted to keep the auto dealerships
where they are and not allow them to expand.
The City Attorney advised that it should be made clear that
Council is discussing the rezoning to SC, not the approval of any use
under SC. The applicant would still need conditional use approval to
gain that ability.
Sam Schwimer stated that the Land Use Committee in its policy
guide indicated that it did not want any additional auto dealers estab-
lished in the City of Delray Beach. He, personally, objects to any
dealership being allowed on Linton Boulevard.
John Vislocky, member of the P&Z Board, stated he feels the
basic issue here is not whether they should trade off an existing auto
dealership on Federal Highway for a new auto dealership on Linton
Boulevard, but whether it should be a proliferation of auto dealers on
Linton as there is on Federal Highway. The recommendations made by the
P&Z Board were influenced a great deal by the anticipated decisions of
Council and they compromised their convictions on numerous occasions on
the premise that something is better than nothing. The Board is ada-
mantly against any dealership on Linton Boulevard; however, when they
were offered the deed restriction on future auto dealers use of the
property on Federal Highway, they reluctantly compromised and agreed to
do it. He, personally, requested that if Council does succumb to Mr.
Wallace's request that they require higher standards regarding appear-
aRce.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
28. Community Development Block Grant Program - Storm Drainage

Mr. Barcinski stated that he asked the Engineering Department
if the low bidder was a reliable bidder and if the City had had any work
performed in the past by the company. He was assured that this is a
reliable bidder and that the work performed for the City in the past was
acceptable.
Mr. Dougherty requested that, in the future, Council be fur-
nished an indication of where the funds are coming from, how much money
is in the account and what the balance would be after they award the

At this point the roll was called to the motion.

The City Manager stated that they are having a hard time
getting people to bid on the Community Development projects as they are
either too small or too big.
