BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA. SAID LAND IS LOCATED ON THE EAST

QUEENS AVENUE, AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, 1983".
(Copy of Ordinance No. 65-86 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.
Edward Hammond, 1119 Queens Avenue, stated he is adamantly
opposed to this ordinance as he feels there has been a complete dis-
regard for the property and health of the residents in the area. The
land was cleared in a very bad way by wreckless burning and no one was
warned that they were going to do this. The Planning and Zoning Board
recommended denial and he requested that Council also reject this
request.
Patricia Aranda, 1101 Queens Avenue, stated she is upset as
they were given no warning as to what was going to be happening on the
site.
Roger Saberson, representing the applicant, stated Mr. Hammond
signed a contract with Mr. Wallace to sell the property that he is now
living on, knowing full well that the property would be used for. a car
dealership. At the time of closing he failed to appear and there is
presently litigation pending between Mr. Wallace and Mr. Hammond. The
Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the rezoning and the
only item of consideration was on the issue of how, and in what manner,
they were going to restrict the property on Federal Highway. That issue
-2- 10/14/86
has almost been resolved and he is working with staff to get the final
wording.
Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, stated that the Land Use
Advisory Committee recommended that there be no more auto dealerships in
Delray. He feels that if Council adopts this ordinance they should have
no more advisory committees.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 65-86 on
Second and FINAL 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. Bird stated that the Land Use Advisory Committee in their
report recommended that automotive uses in the City should be controlled
in the future, not prohibited.
Mr. Dougherty stated it has come to his attention that there is
the possibility of another dealership being built on Linton Boulevard.
He questioned if approving this rezoning tonight would set a precedent
for a second dealership.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she also has a concern with what type
of precedent they may set; however, the point of controlling auto
dealerships and the view towards undoing a dealership, which exists on
Federal Highway, is an attractive possibility. With regard to the
possible second dealership, she advised that that property is in the
County and is further east.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels that Council needs to go back to
the Land Use Advisory Committee and the studies to try and understand
better what it was particularly that they were so concerned about with
regard to auto dealerships. This may give them better assistance in
viewing future applications and the proposed auto dealership ordinance.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

8. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of September 23, 1986, and the Special Meetings of September 2,

9.a.2. Mr. Weatherspoon advised that last Wednesday he attended a

tive.
9.a.3. Mrs. Horenburger advised that the Governor's Drug Task Force
will be making their report tomorrow and they did come out with a
special request today that a Special Session be held. This Session will
probably be held in the first week of December and will address what the

justice system.
-3- 10/14/86
9.a.4. Mr. Bird stated that recently Council adopted Ordinance No.

has now been put on the National Historic Register.
9.a.7. Mayor Campbell stated that Council has been furnished a copy of
a memorandum which he prepared regarding their projects and goals
discussed in the past. If Council concurs in the list he has put
together they could direct the City Manager to respond by giving them an
update on all of those items at the next regular meeting. If anyone
wishes to add an item to the list he would suggest that they discuss it
tonight and put it on a workshop for next Tuesday.
Mr. Dougherty stated, with regard to Item 12 of the Mayor's
memorandum, that he would like to see the improvements to Congress
Avenue made from Lake Ida Road to Linton Boulevard. Mayor Campbell
concurred.
Mr. Dougherty stated he would like to add the following items
to the list for discussion: the Towing Service Contract; the final
disposition of the old Police Station; discussion of the well field
development and land acquisition and right-of-way for that and have a
review or presentation on how the City Manager plans to carry out the
Five Year Capital Improvement Program.
It was the consensus of Council to add these items to the list
to become items 29 through 33.
Mr. Dougherty also suggested that the following items be
considered and possibly placed on a workshop agenda for discussion and
possible policy or goal and objective: Quarterly Financial Report - they
do not need comparisons to last year, they need to know how their
expenditures are comparing to the actual budget approved; Conditional
approvals of the Land Use and Zoning Plans; Comprehensive Recreation
Plan; Enclave Acquisition - analysis of what properties to acquire,
whether those properties will be a plus to the City, the amount of tax
revenue they will receive, what expenditures are going to be incurred
and future potential; Policy on extension of Water Service area; Policy
on on-street parking on West Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to
1-95; Reports or updates from CRA, DDA, and DHA. Have certain meetings,
on regular basis, dedicated to hearing responses from those agencies;
Possibility of creating a Parking and Civic Center Authority; Consider
beach parking improvements and land acquisition; Atlantic Avenue Crime
Prevention and Abatement program; Consider Bidding and Contract Award
policy for procurement of services and public works and Review the Land
Use Policy guide in depth.

wastepaper and aluminum and review the possibility of some mechanism to
control rental residential properties to make sure they are safe and
inhabited by a reasonable number of people.
9.b.1. The City Attorney introduced Susan Ruby, the new Assistant City
Attorney.
-4- 10/14/86
9.c.1. The City Manager stated that Council received a copy of a
letter from Tom Lynch, Chairman of the CRA, relative to the borrowing
program. He (City Manager) and Mr. Simback will be attending a confer-
ence next week to get into more specific details on exactly how the new
tax reform act will affect the City. However, it does appear that they
will be able to allow for the borrowing of the money. He asked that
Council review the letter as soon as possible and give him direction.
Mayor Campbell stated that if the City Manager needs a formal
vote on this they could discuss it at a Special Meeting next week.
Mr. Simback stated that they still need to respond to the
County as required under the Interlocal Agreement. If Council is not
inclined to pursue this avenue for financing the acquisition he will
have to look at other options.
Mayor Campbell requested that Mr. Simback and Mr. Lynch contact
the Council Members individually to further explain the full meaning and
intent of the letter.
9.c.2. The City Manager stated that several months ago there were a
group of citizens who had been cited by the Code Enforcement office for
having converted their duplexes into quadruplexes. They were asked to
go through a series of steps which they did not do and were in the
process of being taken before the Code Enforcement Board today. How-
ever, prior to today, the reinspections indicate that practically every
one had made the reconversion back to duplexes and the issue was dis-
missed.
9.c.3. The City Manager stated he has recontacted each of the consul-
tants for the Management Study and none of them changed the scope of
their project too much. Council has been furnished copies of all the
proposals. (Council agreed to have a special meeting as soon as possi-
ble for each firm to make a presentation later in the meeting).
9.d.1. Elaine Roberts, 312 North Swinton Avenue, stated she has
commented before about action taken at meetings where the item did not
appear on the agenda. Tonight they spend almost an hour discussing such
an item and she feels it should have been workshopped.
9.d.2. Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, stated he has been asked by
several people what is happening to the Beautification Fund. They had a
drive to raise funds and several citizens made contributions; however,
they can see no progress.
Mayor Campbell advised this is one of the items which the City
Manager will be reporting on at the next regular meeting.
9.d.3. Helen Coopersmith, 1222-D South Drive Way, concurred with Mr.
Schwimer's comments. She stated that when they discussed the beautifi-
cation of Delray she suggested that they should start east and west and
meet in the middle.
9.c.3. Mr. Dougherty stated, with regard to the City Manager's item,
that they did not give him any direction as to when to set up a meeting.
Following discussion it was the consensus of Council to hold a
Special Meeting and to allow each consultant firm 15 minutes to make a
presentation.
Mayor Campbell suggested that each Council Member contact the
individual firms so that they are not completely ignorant of the facts.
Mayor Campbell left the Council Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon took the chair.

turn lane may be constructed with Phase II. However, the

REGULAR AGENDA
22. Easement Abandonment - West of the E-4 Canal, between N.W. 2nd
Street and the L-33 Canal. Resolution No. 56-86, abandoning a 10-foot
drainage easement lying within Lots 9 and 10, replat of part of Breezy
Ridge Estates, is before Council for consideration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 56-86:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, VACATING AND ABANDONING A TEN (10) FOOT
DRAINAGE EASEMENT LYING WITHIN LOTS 9 AND 10, REPLAT OF
BREEZY RIDGE ESTATES, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF,
RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 24, PAGE 116, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS
OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA.
Mr. Bird stated it seems to him that they have a road realign-
ment which goes through this general area and he questioned what affect
the proposed abandonment would have on that, if any.
Mr. Cohn stated that to the best of his knowledge this would
not affect the dedication which was made for a road realignment. Upon
question by Mr. Bird, Mr. Cohn stated he believes the realignment would
go through Lot 10; however, he is not sure.
Upon question by Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon, Mr. Bird stated that
his concern is that somewhere in the general area there is a realignment
for Davis Road. He feels it would be unlikely for anyone to request an
abandonment of an easement unless they were going to develop the proper-
ty. If they are, he needs to be relatively comfortable that the pro-
posed development, and the City's need for the road access, are compati-
ble.
Mr. Cohn stated Council could postpone this item and he will
have a report by the next meeting.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to postpone this item until the October
28th regular meeting, 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.
23. Construction of Dock on Lake Ida. Council is to consider a
request for construction of a dock at 615 Lake Drive and modification to
the Code. Approval is recommended.
Gerald Church, City Engineer, advised that any time a dock
extends more than 5 feet into the waterway it requires a modification.
This dock is appropriate for Lake Ida and as such he is recommending
that it be approved. They did contact the contiguous properties and the
owners have no objection.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve construction of the dock,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
-9- 10/14/86
.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.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
24. Administrative.. Relief for Joint Use Parking - Linton Oaks
Square (a/k/a Boca Ray Plaza). Council is to consider a request for
administrative relief for Boca Ray Shopping Plaza to allow multiple uses
located on the same site to jointly use parking spaces. The Shopping
Plaza is located on the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and Mili-
tary Trail. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird moved to approve, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Cohn advised that under the parking ordinance there is a
provision, when there is a mixture of uses in a shopping center, where
they can either apply the shopping center parking standard or add up the
individual parking requirements for the uses and take a 15% reduction
from that total. When the original site plan was approved they went
under the shopping center parking standards. However, at this point in
time they are finding it more advantageous to use the joint use provi-
sion as it saves them approximately eight parking spaces. The Technical
Review Committee has reviewed this and it does meet the Code.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

-11- 10/14/86
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird stated he has a concern with what would be considered
the commercial aspects of this project; what areas, in square footage,
are they limiting to only residents.
Mr. Cohn advised the Zoning Code, in regard to Continuing Care
Facilities, established regulations regarding the percentage of floor
area which may be devoted to such ancillary uses. It also requires that
these uses be for the exclusive use of the residents and oriented
internally without any exterior signage.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, Mr. Cohn advised the original
site plan was approved for five stories. This has been brought down to
three stories and the site plan has been revised to conform in every
respect with the current codes.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
28. Waiver of Advertising Provision. Council is to consider
authorizing waiver of advertising for sale of scrap aluminum as required
in Section 2-7. Approval is recommended.
The City Attorney stated if it is Council's intent to make a
modification with regard to the sale of scrap he would suggest that they
adopt it as an ordinance amendment to that section of the Code rather
than a blanket waiver.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to delete Item 28 and requested that the
City Attorney prepare an appropriate ordinance, 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 -

work with staff to develop the Evaluation and Appraisal Report at a cost
of $22,000. Funds are to come from the 1986/87 budget. Approval is
recommended.
The City Attorney advised Council has been furnished a new page
6 which makes a change to Section III which they need to be aware of.
This would be a duplicate document except that they have added a new
last sentence in the paragraph which is a policy question. Of the
$22,000 fee for this supplemental agreement they would like to be
permitted to get $3,500 up front as working capital.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to authorize execution of the Supplemen-
tal Agreement, as amended, 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

30. Ordinance No. 66-86 - Amending Zoning Code - Dry Cleaning
Establishments. Ordinance No. 66-86, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of
the Code of Ordinances to allow dry cleaning establishments, limited to
1,500 square feet, customer pick-up only, as a permitted use in the CBD
(Central Business) District, is before Council for consideration on
First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held October 28th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 66-86:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY

CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
BY AMENDING SECTION 30-13 "CBD (CENTRAL BUSINESS) DIS-

-12- 10/14/86
CLAUSE; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 66-86 on First
Reading, 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 following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Cohn advised that
"Customer Pick-up only" allows for dry cleaning equipment on the premis-
es. However, it would be a drop-off, pick-up type establishment, not
self dry cleaning or a dry cleaning plant. The Planning and Zoning
Board are recommending approval as a permitted use and he and the CRA
are recommending approval as a conditional use.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she would be in favor of seeing this as
a conditional use as she has a problem with having dry cleaning plants
around the CBD.
Phyllis Plume, P&Z Board member, stated the thinking of the
Planning and Zoning Board was that certain service-type uses should be
permitted, particularly on the side streets of the CBD. This is a low
key type use and they felt that it may encourage people to use downtown.
Sandy Simon, advised this is a 785 square foot facility, the
equipment is all state of the art and is not noisy.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 9:10 P.M.
