PUBLIC HEARING
6. Ratification of Sale of City Property. Council is to consider
ratification of sale of a portion of Section 8, Township 46 South, Range
43 East, south of Lake Ida Road between N.W. 4th Avenue and N.W. 6th
Avenue.
Mayor Campbell explained that this parcel of land was being
donated for a new site for the Delray Day Care Center.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to ratify the sale, seconded by Mr.
Dougherty. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty objected to the price of $10.00 and suggested
that the contract be reworded so the price of the land be equivalent to
the drainage improvement requirements.
The City Attorney stated that the City could give $100,000 to
the child care center and they could use that money to buy the land from
the city. So to the extent that the City is selling it to them for
$10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, he felt that was
proper under the Charter.
Mayor Campbell stated that the City's legal advisor had assured
the Council that they were within legal bounds. There is sufficient
evidence in the record that the Child Day Care Center will be making
improvements to the land. These are going to benefit that particular
area and block and the City will be getting direct benefit.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
7. Ordinance No. 89-86 - Lehman Annexation. Ordinance No. 89-86
relative to annexing a 13.304-acre parcel subject to SC District, is
before Council for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. The
property is located on the west side of U.S. Highway No.1, between
Lindell Boulevard and the C-15 Canal. Prior to consideration of passage
of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been
scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 89-86:

Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Roger Saberson, a representative for William Lehman, stated
that he would like to have an opportunity to meet with the people who
have expressed concern in the last week and perhaps revise plans in such
a manner to make them less objectionable. With this in mind, they would
be amenable to postponing this item. However, he did request that
Council act on Item No. 38 that goes along with Item No. 7, relative to

-3- 12/16/86
The following persons appeared before Council to voice their
objection to the proposed Lehman Automobile Dealership that is under
consideration for Conditional Use & Site Plan approval:
Frank Ellis, Helen Coopersmith, Sam Schwimer, Denny Desio, Don
Hassler, Brent Carper, Gary Emery, Paul F. Smith, Bill Schnabel, Bob
French, Bettye Malicoat, Mary Banting, James Bowen, Celanne Ziegler,
Richard Munsterman, Don Doornbos, Jean Beers, Charles Smith, Marion
MacLeod, Phil Rogers and Nancy Carper.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
Mayor Campbell assured the people who expressed concern about
the dealership .that they will receive proper notification as Council
proceeds. Council does not want anyone to feel the process is bypassing
them. He also asked that a pad be placed in the lobby so those voicing
their feelings might write their name and address in order to expedite
the notification.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Dougherty moved that Items No. 31 and 38 be put back on the
Agenda in view of the testimony received, as he felt Council should be
in a position to make a decision tonight. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Mr. Bird left the Council Chambers at this time.
Roger Saberson, a representative for the applicant, requested
that Council give consideration to a postponement of Item No. 31 and
recommended it be set for December 30, 1986. The Land Use Plan Ordi-
nance Amendment for the 2.1 acres in the N.W. corner of the site,
together with the rezoning has been advertised for a December 30th
hearing. He expressed a desire to meet with the persons objecting to
this use and discuss specifically what is being proposed, how they plan
to do it and give all an opportunity to view the plans. If the public
could see no possible way it would be aesthetically pleasing enough to
be approved, they have the option of returning to Council and expressing
the same views that have been expressed tonight. The site is already
80% zoned CG (Commercial) in the county. That zoning permits auto
dealerships as a special exception and in City code, once this has been
zoned Commercial there are 88 permitted uses and a number of conditional
uses. The traffic impact should be considered in relation to the other
uses. In terms of percent of total traffic entering the intersection at
Lindell Boulevard and Federal Highway during peak hour and peak season,
the percentage is 4.1%. At the intersection of Lindell Boulevard and
Dixie Highway, it is 2.9%. In comparison, their traffic engineer
informed them if this parcel was used for office space with 200,000
square feet, there would be a 38% increase in traffic. If it were to be
retail with 100,000 square feet, the increase would be 287%. They would
like the public to investigate the other possible uses available for
this site, give it some consideration, and this time frame would give
them an opportunity to do this.
Mr. Bird returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Bird moved that Item No. 31 be postponed until January 13,
1987, for Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval, 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.
7.b. (Item No. 38) Abandonment of Rights-of-Way, Alley and Easements
- Tropic Palms and Del-Raton Park. Resolution No. 68-86 relative to
abandoning all those road rights-of-way, alleys and easements lying
within Tropic Palms Plat No. 1 and Del-Raton Park (south of Lindell
Boulevard), is before Council for consideration. The Property is
located on the west side of South Federal Highway, between Lindell
Boulevard and the C-15 Canal.
The caption of Resolution No. 68-86 is as follows:
-4- 12/16/86
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, VACATING AND ABANDONING ALL THOSE ROAD
RIGHTS-OF-WAY, EASEMENTS, ALLEYS, WATERWAYS AND CANALS,
OTHER THAN THE C-15 CANAL, WITHIN A PORTION OF TROPIC
PALMS PLAT NO. 1, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF, AS
RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 25, PAGE 99 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS
OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AND A PORTION OF DEL RATON
PARK, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF, AS RECORDED IN PLAT
BOOK 14, PAGE 9 AND 10, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM
BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA.
(Copy of Resolution No. 68-86 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of Resolution No. 68-86,
deleting Section 2, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 1 vote.
Mr. Dougherty felt Council was premature in passing an abandon-
ment of rights-of-way until such time when the other issue has been
approved. Another use may not require the abandonment.
Mr. Saberson commented that regardless of the use, the rights-
of-way, canals and easements that are there now need to be abandoned as
they go right through the middle of the property. Some of the rights-
of-way date back to the early 1900's and have never been developed and
never used. It is separate and apart from the issue of automotive use,
but to the use of the property generally.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess, the time being 8:38 PM. and
reconvened at 8:50 P.M.
8. Ordinance No. 93-86 - Amending Code - Two Hour Parkinq Areas.

nances relative to adding two additional parking areas where two-hour

motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Dennis Chambers, General Manager of Sunbelt Denntronics,
Grantee No. 2, holding a partial City franchise for providing cable TV
services in the City of Delray Beach, stated that Sunbelt became aware
of Leadership's renewal process after their first hearing and would like
Council to be aware that they are concerned about the proposed new
ordinance. They have been trying to speed up their input and take into
consideration that at the time Sunbelt was given its franchise, it was
tied to the term of Leadership's renewal. They had made an attempt to
have their renewal heard at the same time, but there wasn't enough time
to get it on the agenda. Sunbelt is very concerned and wants to be
totally involved if a new ordinance is written. They may be coming in
for renewal after the new ordinance is in effect, and Leadership will
already be granted their renewal prior to passage of the new ordinance.
The City Attorney stated that the renewal of Leadership's
Franchise will require them to abide by the new revisions to the ord-
inance, so they will both be playing by the same rules.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
13. Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of November 11 and December 2, 1986 and the Special
Meeting of November 18, 1986, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
14.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated that neighboring communities have been
passing ordinances or resolutions recommending the County Commissioners
expedite the solid waste site situation. Perhaps this Council should
indicate their support. A moratorium should not be treated lightly.
The construction of such a facility could take three to five years. He
suggested sending a resolution or the appropriate communication to the
County Commissioners, recommending a timely decision.
Mr. Bird suggested having Tim Hunt, of the Solid Waste Authori-
ty, give Council a brief overview at a workshop meeting. Mayor Campbell
requested Mr. Bird give Mr. Hunt a call and asked the City Attorney to
draft a resolution and put it on the next regular meeting agenda.
14.a.2. Mr. Dougherty asked the status of the towing service contract.
The City Manager stated they had met with all the towing contractors and
are planning to let bids and use one contractor for all vehicles. After
much discussion, the current rotation process was determined to be more
desirable.
Mayor Campbell stated Council would review a brief summary from
the towing contractors and, if necessary, will be considered again.
14.a.3. Mr. Bird wished Seasons Greetings to one and all.
14.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated that the proposed Child Care Ordinance
is well under way.
14.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger reported on the County workshop. The munici-
palities met with the County officials, administrators and staff members
to discuss various problems and possible conflicts. Some of the major
issues were transportation, health care, water management, etc. and she
feels there is a much better working relationship with the County than
before.
14.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger requested staff obtain a report from the
County Commissioners and Engineering Department's meeting concerning the
five-year road plan. She had contacted the majority of the commission-
ers asking them to reconsider the extension of Lake Ida Road. If the
existing road is not going to be widened, it should not be extended.
Mayor Campbell stated he had been in contact with Gerald
Church, City Engineer, and there is a final public hearing to be held in
January on the five-year plan, when final consideration for the four-
laning and the extension will be considered. The Lake Ida extension is
scheduled for next year's budget and the four-laning is scheduled for
1991.
8 12/16/86
14.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger reported on her trip to Tallahassee on behalf
of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the South Florida
Water Management District. Due to problems that exist in northern
counties, the State Legislature is considering redrawing all the dis-
trict boundaries for soil and water conservation, planning councils,
water management districts, and health and rehabilitative services, etc.
The Treasure Coast Council felt it inappropriate for them to consider
dividing Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River into three Water
Management Districts to solve the problems of the northern counties
only. There was no final decision.
14.a.8. Mrs. Horenburger reported on her trip to San Antonio, Texas, to
the National League Congress of Cities. Some of the major issues
discussed were The Clean Water Act, Housing and Community Development
and the Evans-Robb Proposal. This last bill basically would kill most
programs important to cities, by suggesting the Federal Government take
over all Social Welfare Programs and cut all Federal funding to cities.
She concluded by wishing all Happy Holidays.
Mrs. Horenburger left the chambers at this time.
14.a.9. Mr. Weatherspoon wished all a Merry Christmas. He emphasized
the fact that the NLC Meeting in San Antonio provided a forum for people
to grow, and after attending, feels Council members are better able to
serve the citizens.
14.a.10. Mayor Campbell stated he had some communication for Council and
the public from Rick Reikanis, Director of the Florida League of Cities,
District 12. He recommends attendance to the local delegation meetings
to be held the end of January. Meeting with delegates from other cities
will encourage the local delegation to coordinate goals and objectives
for submittal and passage in the upcoming legislature. The City Attor-
ney requested if there were items to be placed on the agenda for the end
of January, Mary Baruch must be notified no later than January 15.
14.a.ll. Mayor Campbell requested the City Manager to update the pro-
gress of the goals and objectives by the first part of January.
14.a.12. Mayor Campbell stated that Beril Kruger indicated a land use
plan change on property in the north end may require a different plan
than adopted by Council. Due to the timing, if Council approves,
it can be placed on the agenda for December 30, for First Reading. The
City Attorney advised this could be done, but it could not be adopted on
Second Reading until the next set of Land Use changes in 1987. Mr.
Kruger stated that Stan Weeden of the Planning & Zoning Department
indicated it could be reviewed again.
14.b.1. The City Attorney reported on two settlement issues and two
lawsuits. The first concerns an automobile accident involving Jeanine
Bazalay and a settlement has been negotiated by the City Attorney's
Office. The City Attorney recommended Council ratify the sum of $10,000.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify the $10,000 settlement, seconded by
Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird -
Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council Chambers.
14.b.2. The City Attorney stated the City has instituted an injunctive
relief public nuisance abatement action against the Corporate owners of
the Georgia Town Tavern property. The principal in that corporation
approached the City with a settlement offer which Council needs to
consider and direct staff with appropriate action. Mr. Thomas stated if
it was acceptable, it would not be necessary for him to incur further
legal expense preparing for the forthcoming January 8 hearing. Mr.
Thomas agreed to padlock the doors if the City agreed to purchase the
property and/or the liquor license. The original offer was $95,000 for
the property alone, but the City has been able to negotiate that down to
$65,000. In addition he would sell his liquor license, which is a 4 COP
(Consumption on Premises), for $110,000. That makes a total package of
$175,000. Mayor Campbell stated he was not prepared to make a decision
-9- 12/16/86
at this time and recommended it be put on the December 30 Agenda, still
leaving enough time prior to the January 8 hearing to enter into a
settlement.
Mr. Bird left the Council Chambers.
The City Attorney stated if Council were going to reject the
offer, there was no point in investigating the possible uses of the
property. Mr. Dougherty suggested that Council request staff to explore
the possibilities and inform them at the next meeting.
Mr. Dougherty stated if the property were purchased by the
City, there should be some condition or stipulation to avoid having
another business open on Atlantic Avenue in the near vicinity.
The City Attorney stated that staff would notify Mr. Thomas
that conceptually the City is interested if an agreement can be reached.
14.c.1. The City Manager stated the City has reached an agreement with
Mr. Hubler, of Public Administration Service, on a contract in the
amount of the bid, $38,340 and recommended that Council award that
contract, subject to final technical review by the City Attorney's
Office.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved that the contract be awarded and rati-
fied to Public Administration Service, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horen-
burger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
14.c.2. The City Manager stated there had been three very important
meetings held in the past two weeks; one concerning the Atlantic Avenue
Project. There were four groups consisting of the City, the Beautifica-
tion Trust, the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Downtown Develop-
ment Authority that had been meeting in separate bodies to work on a
beautification program. Significant progress has been made in determin-
ing the cost. An ancillary project is Veteran's Park which will be
dealt with later.
The second item is concerning The Old School Square Foundation
involving the CRA, the City and representatives of the Historical
Society and The Old School Square Foundation, Inc. The Mayor and Mr.
Simback felt the reports were not clear and have assigned Kathy Daley to
work with the committee as there is funding available from the state.
The third item concerns the review by the Task Force of the
permitting and inspection process. Committee members received a docu-
ment of the process that builders and/or developers must follow to
secure site plan approval, building permits, etc. The committee will
have completed their recommendations within a two to three month period.
Hopefully, they will come up with a process that will work well in the
City and still comply with the City code.
Mr. Bird returned to the Council Chambers.
Mrs. Horenburger posed a question relating to an Historic
Preservation Ordinance and the possibility of a new Board being named.
The City Manager stated the Old School Square Foundation, Inc., was
separate from the Historical Society, though closely related.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if they were an independent corpora-
tion and would be doing their own funding, etc. The City Manager stated
the purpose of bringing the groups together was to be informed that this
particular group existed. Not one organization will be totally respon-
sible and the City will probably be requested to become involved from a
financial standpoint.
Mr. Dougherty did not feel the group should be able to dictate
who and how much financial assistance each should provide. Mrs. Horen-
burger stated it was an organization anyone could join and contribute
to. The state mandates these types of organizations in order to fund
grants to the cities.
-10- 12/16/86
Mr. Dougherty stated that if the City is going to be the
financing agent, the City Manager should be the Director. Mayor Camp-
bell stated that at the appropriate time the money is allocated, the
City will not just turn over dollar sums to any entity. The City
Manager requested that Council allow time for deliberation by the board
so concrete recommendations may be presented for consideration.
14.d.1. Robert Redman, owner of Doc's Soft Serv, requested that he be
allowed to retain the sign installed on the top of his building for the
next six years. He presented a petition containing 250 signatures of
persons interested in preserving what they call a landmark. Mayor
Campbell asked the City Manager to provide Council with the necessary
information on how to handle a situation of this nature according to the
context of the City Code. If appropriate to consider special circum-
stances, it will be placed on the December 30 agenda.
14.d.2. Charles Raible, Vice-President of Highland Park Company,
successors to the Highland Trailer Park, stated that in April, 1986,
Council granted the Park an extension until December 31, 1986, in order
to get the water agreements signed in proper form. At this time the
Park has 125 out of 128 agreements to be presented to attorney J. Reeve
Bright, who recommended Council be requested to extend this in order to
avoid a citation.
Mayor Campbell stated the consensus of Council would be to
grant an extension to January 31, 1987. It will be placed on the agenda
for December 30, 1986, for formal action, if the three remaining agree-
ments were not completed.

Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the Consent Agenda as amended
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
Regular Agenda
24. Reimbursement to Developers for Upsizing/Oversizing Utility
Services. Council is to consider establishing City policy relative to
actual cost increases for upsizing water mains and increasing capacity
for lift stations. Approval is recommended.
-12- 12/16/86
Mrs. Horenburger expressed curiosity since this had not been
before a workshop as the memo before her had indicated and was eager for
more information.
Robert Pontek, Public Utilities Director, stated the City is
currently using a five-year agreement. Under the Master Plan, there are
certain elements that need to be installed now, for example, upsizing
utility lines from 8" to 16". It is advantageous to have the developers
install the proper size now, then present the idea to Council for
approval. There is a need to formulate a policy statement through the
City Manager's Office. They need to know if Council desires to have
those brought back, case by case, anticipating 10 to 12 cases a year
with a price range from $2,000 to $30,000. Those involving lesser
monies might be handled through the City Manager's Office and the
balance by Council.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned how this would lessen the City's
involvement. Mr. Pontek stated if the lines are upsized or there is an
increase in the overall capacity of a particular lift station, it will
be necessary to write a five-year agreement with a developer. By doing
this, the City will guarantee pro rata share for anyone else connecting.
If a 20% user comes in, Public Utilities must obtain a check from the
developer to the City, act as a monitor and disburse those funds back to
the original developer. Public Utilities will determine the impact the
City has created for the developer to increase the facilities for the
future. They would request Council to authorize payment for the in-
creased portion to the existing developer who made these improvements
for the Utility Department. With the proposed plan, the City pays up
front and collects by impact fee when the next person connects in.
Mr. Dougherty stated the City needs larger mains to accommodate
the developers but are leapfrogging. By servicing the new developer,
the current customers of the water and sewer system are paying for
something in the future. The obligation should belong to the developer.
Mrs. Horenburger stated the capacity is not now available, but
built in for the future. If Council requests Public Utilities to
install larger mains, someone must assume the responsibility for the
cost.
Mayor Campbell stated if a person in the area needed to utilize
their property and more people would be tapping in later, the City
cannot penalize that person to build a system to accommodate neighbors.
Mr. Pontek stated with water storage fees and transmission fees
the utility will build 12" lines and install ground storage tanks to
insure good fire protection. Public Utilities is attempting to save the
City money in the future by requiring less maintenance and fewer lift
stations.
Mr. Dougherty objected to current users paying now even though
this will not be in use until a later date. Mayor Campbell stated it
would be to the City's advantage to install an adequate system now,
making it unnecessary to dig up and alter the system time and again.
The City does not have a monitoring system on those fees at present and
does not want to lose the money for storage capacity, impact fees and
hookup charges.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved not to accept staff recommendation
except where the City needs to upgrade the system to save the City
money, the City pays that cost and the developer gets reimbursed; if an
upgrade is required due to new development, the developer should pay,
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.
29. Selection of Beautification Consultant: Council is to consider
selection of one of the following beautification consultants:
Sasaki Associates, Inc.
H. Kurt Kettlehut & Associates
-13- 12/16/86
Urban Design Studios
Chris O'Hare
Mrs. Horenburger moved to split the contract into two, one for
the Hardscape and one for the Landscape, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty
- No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty questioned the basis for splitting the contract.
Mayor Campbell stated one group may be better qualified to perform
hardscape while another can perform landscape.
Nancy Davila, City Horticulturist, stated that hardscape would
include redesigning traffic, the parking layout, possibly some drainage,
pedestrian lighting and some intersections. Originally the plan was for
the CRA to help fund the hardscape portion and the City would fund the
landscape, such as trees and shrubs. In order to expedite the project
the agencies are pooling their resources and the consensus is to sepa-
rate these items into two contracts.
Mr. Dougherty did not recall seeing this sort of money avail-
able in the budget for the CRA. Mrs. Davila stated at a meeting with
the CRA the feeling was that most of the money would be spent on the
design aspect and at time of letting bids for construction they would be
in a better position to participate.
Mayor Campbell stated that some aspects of the beautification
project may require hardscape changes. The additional hardscape changes
proposed by other agencies would be added to that, but an element of
that will be hardscape from our prospective, in dealing with what we
designated as a road to be improved. That road to be beautified that
this Council voted for was Atlantic Avenue from Military Trail to the
Ocean. Staff has recommended that the beautification aspect, particu-
larly east of Swinton Boulevard, is to be primarily a hardscape as
opposed to a tree or landscape beautification.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell requested that each Council member rank the
firms in order of preference; one to be titled Hardscape, the second to
be Landscape, listing their preferences in order. At this time Council
ranked the firms and, while the tabulating was being done by the City
Manager, Council continued with the meeting to return to this item
later.
30. Site Plan Approval - Delray Mall. Council is to consider a
request for site plan approval for the Delray Mall to allow an expansion
of the existing mall, along with a renovation of portions of the site,
including parking lots, on-site circulation and some building facades.
The property is located at the northwest corner of Linton Boulevard and
U.S. Highway No. 1. The Planning Department recommended approval
subject to the following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements
1. Dimension, on the site plan, the rights-of-way for all abutting
streets. (Plan.)
2. Specify the height, use and floor area of the proposed free-
standing building on the site plan. (Plan.)
3. Dumpster detail should be shown on site plan. Screening should
include, but not be limited to a six (6) foot CBS wall, with
vision-obscuring gates on a concrete pad. If dumpsters are
provided for restaurants a hose bib and drain connection to
sanitary sewer is required. All trash storage areas shall be
screened. (Plan.)
4. Site plan, landscape plan and improvement plans shall be
consistent prior to staff sign-off. (Plan.)
5. Provide thirty-five (35) foot turning radii at all entrances.
(Eng.)
-14- 12/16/86
6. The County Thoroughfare plan requires 60' half right-of-way for
Linton Boulevard. The developer shall dedicate a minimum of 7'
along the south property line at the time of platting. (Eng.)
7. Dixie Highway:
The County's Thoroughfare Plan shows an 80 foot right-of-way
for Dixie Highway. Since the west side of Dixie Highway is
contiguous to the FEC Railway and all of the right-of-way must
be obtained from properties to the east, a total of 73 feet of
right-of-way will be required. This is based upon deleting the
sidewalk along the west side of the right-of-way which would be
next to the railroad track. If absolutely critical, 72.5 feet
would be acceptable. This right-of-way is to be dedicated by
plat.
8. Federal Highway:
Provide for the right turn lane on the north approach. The
additional right-of-way required would be 12 feet wide for a
distance of 200 feet north of the intersection with a standard
taper. This right-of-way is to be dedicated by plat.
9. The developer shall secure a letter from the County Engineer
verifying if additional right-of-way is required for expanded
intersections adjacent to the mall at Swinton/Linton and
Federal/Linton intersections, and if so specifying what is
required of the developer. (Eng.)
10. A paving, grading and drainage plan which provides for one inch
(1") retention for the entire site shall be submitted and must
be approved by the Engineering Division prior to any building
permits. (Eng.)
11. An "on site" traffic plan for the entire shopping center shall
be submitted to and approved by the engineering Division prior
to any building permits. The traffic plan, both on site and
off site, shall include STOP, YIELD, NO LEFT TURN, RIGHT ONLY,
HANDICAP PARKING BY DISABLED PERMIT ONLY, etc., as well as
painted (on site) and thermoplastic reflectorized (off site)
pavement markings, all in compliance with MUTCD standards.
(Eng.)
12. The code requires 12' easements for all public water and
sanitary sewer mains. (Eng.)
13. Per 30-22(G) contents of the site and development plan, provide
the following. (Hort.)
(5) Site plan showing the following:
(d) legal description on the site plan
(e) location of existing easements
(o) location of outdoor lighting showing direction,
height and type
(q) spot elevations
(r) building heights in feet and stories
14. Per City agreement the developers shall reimburse the Old
Harbour, LTD., their pro rata share for off-site improvements
already made. (Eng.)
15. The median opening on U.S. 1 (Federal Highway) shall be closed.
Refer to drawing No. Ex-12 and Job 2832 (Sumner Schein/-
Sheremeta). This makes the second driveway from the north a
right-in/right-out only driveway. (Eng.)
Procedural Requirements
16. All proposed signs must be approved by the Building Department
and Community Appearance Board. (Plan.)
17. Platting is required due to the dedications and fact that the
additional land (Phase 3) has never been platted. (Eng.)
18. That all improvements be completed in accordance with the
approved site plan.
19. 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 30-21(E)
of the Zoning Code.
City Council Policy
20. At the time of widening of Linton Boulevard a contribution
shall be made to the City for beautification of the Boulevard.
Such contribution shall defray the cost of irrigating and
landscaping the median in accordance with plans developed by
the City. Payment shall be made upon thirty (30) days written
notice by the City of its intent to begin the project. Such
-15- 12/16/86
payment shall not exceed $10.00 per front foot and shall be
applied in accordance with an ordinance to be adopted by the
City which the applicant understands and agrees will be
applicable to this project. (Plan.)
Community Appearance Board
21. A three foot parapet should be added to the western elevation
to screen mechanical equipment from view.
22. The outbuilding should be architecturally similar to the main
mall, and it's entry arched so that it ties into the mall's
entrances.
23. Some color, flowering plants or trees should be added to the
landscaping adjacent to Dixie Highway.
24. Relocate/integrate the 7,500 square feet of the outbuilding
into the mall at a location to be approved by the Planning and
Zoning Board and City Council prior to final staff sign-off of
the plans.
25. That the required additional right-of-way either be dedicated
or reserved based upon approval by the City Attorney and City
Engineer.
26. If the right-of-way are conveyed by dedication, the applicant
shall apply for and receive approval for the variances and
waivers noted in the City Horticulturist's memorandum of
December 15, 1986.
27. The applicant apply for and receive the waivers noted in the
City Horticulturist's memorandum of December 15, 1986.
Mr. Bird moved for site plan approval, subject to the condi-
tions of staff and additions as enumerated 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had.
Alan Ciklin, representing the Delray Mall, stated the site plan
is in an approvable state. The Mall is subject, with Council's concur-
rence, to a major renovation. There are two issues for Council to
approve; the first being a six-acre parcel purchased by the developer
as part of the 19 million dollar original purchase. The Planning and
Zoning Board is concerned about the aesthetics of how the building will
look and also the use. The discussion last night centered around
leaving the parcel vacant. When a purchase of this size and value is
made, it is unaffordable to leave it vacant. In order to resolve this
issue it was agreed to give Planning and Zoning and the City Council
architectural control, architectural approval and aesthetic approval.
It was also agreed this particular use would not be a service station,
fast food restaurant or something the City does not want. The Delray
Mall will not be destroyed by putting something that will deprive them
of a good marketing scheme or will be unattractive.
The second item is: as part of the engineering concerns and
traffic studies there was a request for the dedication of an additional
right-of-way. Linton Boulevard is built out to its full width, with
curbs, gutters and sidewalks existing. There are seven feet that would
be required to complete the right-of-way, but would probably never be
used for road improvements. The 12 feet for 200 feet along Federal
Highway would perhaps some day add for an expansion of the intersection.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Church concur that it is unlikely that this will
happen. The 7.5 feet on Dixie Highway is a more realistic possibility.
The client doesn't mind dedicating the right-of-way but doesn't want to
be penalized.
There are two alternatives; the first is to dedicate the
right-of-way although it may not be needed for 20 years. The second is
a reservation that would be handled very similarly stating that the
rights-of-way described are hereby reserved for roadway purposes. They
would be dedicated upon request by a governmental agency, free of
charge. This means the City gets it whenever it needs it. In the
meantime the Mall has the liability, pays taxes on 4.4 acres of right-
of-way to be dedicated and the responsibility of the maintenance.
Mrs. Horenburger requested a definition of the reservation.
Mr. Ciklin stated the right-of-way is being reserved for the government,
-16- 12/16/86
subject to reservation. At the time the government wants to use it, the
City gets it. It differs from an easement in that the Mall is reserving
it for the City, free of charge, until such time as the City expresses a
desire to use it.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, the City Attorney stated it
was a policy issue, and can be handled either way. Staff has always
taken the position they would prefer to have the dedications, which are
cleaner and easier to administer. The reservation would be designated
on the site plan and would have to be done as a covenant running with
the land as well. If the present owner sold to a subsequent owner, that
party would be bound to provide the dedication.
Mayor Campbell stated the motion to approve was made subject to
the conditions of the staff.
The City Attorney advised it should read reservation instead of
dedication, which would be a covenant running with the land.
Mrs. Horenburger objected to not incorporating the out parcel
into the remainder of the Mall.
Mr. Ciklin stated that when dealing with a renovation the
architects and engineers do not feel it practical to try and fit the
extra square footage in. There are a lot of users who prefer to be in a
separate building in place of a mall complex. When the developer
purchased this property it was anticipated that the parcel could be used
for something other than open space.
Mrs. Horenburger asked if there was anything in the conditions
that Stan Weedon might be able to clarify that would address those uses
in the out parcel.
Stan Weedon, Planning and Zoning Department, stated there was
none because it was agreed to add a note to the site plan designating
the building as office, commercial, and not to include fast food restau-
rants, etc.
Gerald Church, City Engineer, stated that the roads also come
under the jurisdiction of the county, and after speaking with DOT it was
agreed the traffic plan provides for the required rights-of-way. By
dedicating these roads, we now have them available for future use. The
purpose of platting is to acquire right-of-way. The actual seven feet
would provide a turning lane on Linton Boulevard. The engineering
department would prefer this to be dedicated.
Mayor Campbell expressed concern about the rear of the Mall.
According to the site plan there seems to be no substantial changes,
other than painting. Mr. Ciklin stated trees that cannot be saved will
be replaced along with additional new trees. The rear of the Mall will
be used for employee parking and a delivery area.
Mayor Campbell stated there should be an impervious green line
similar to the one existing behind Publix, but one that will mature to
create a green barrier. He suggested, if Council concurs, the motion be
approved, subject to staff recommendations and the following additions:
deleting the requirement regarding the dedication of the right-of-way to
address it in the plat as a reservation, withdrawing Item No. 24 and
reiterating the fact they are placing a limitation on the out parcel to
office and/or commercial, but not to include fast focd restaurants and
other uses so designated, no pole signs, architectural compatibility
between the out parcel and the building and the western perimeter will
have an impervious greenscape as is the requirement along the north
side. Mr. Bird stated this was the intent of his motion and also the
second by Mr. Weatherspoon.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
29. Mayor Campbell stated the vote has been tallied for the Hard-
scape and Landscape. Sasaki Associates was chosen for the Hardscape and
Mayor Campbell requested staff to negotiate the contract with them.
Kettlehut & Associates was selected in regard to the Landscape.
-17- 12/16/86
Mr. Bird moved that Hardscape be negotiated first with Sasaki
Associates, Inc., second with H. Kurt Kettlehut & Associates, third with
Urban Design Studios and fourth with Chris O'Hare, 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.
Mr. Bird moved that Landscape be negotiated first with H. Kurt

32. Lease Agreement with Florida East Coast Railway Company.
Council is to consider authorizing execution of lease agreement between
the City and FEC Railway Company.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Bird.
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.
33. Diagnostic Engine Analyzer. Council is to consider award of
contract to Sun Electric, the only bidder who met specifications, for a
diagnostic engine analyzer to be used in the City Garage, in the amount
of $20,485, with funds to come from the 1986/1987 budget. Approval is

Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council chambers.
35. Utility Tax Revenue Bond Issue. Council is to consider issuing
a Utility Tax Revenue Bond for capital improvement projects. Approval
is recommended.
Mayor Campbell stated there were several items that Council has
been asked to consider: (1) to appoint a Bond Counsel, (2) to appoint a
financial advisor, (3) to consider the fact that the financial advisor
may bid on the issues if Council goes to a bid type issue, (4) to offer
negotiation with our auditors, Ernst & Whinney to review and offer an
opinion on the issue, (5) to consider whether or not the issue is to be
validated, (6) to come to an agreement on a dollar amount of the listing
of the capital projects, and (7) consider if they want to go to a
negotiated or a bid type bond.
Mayor Campbell asked Mr. Huddleston, Finance Director, to recap
his recommendation for the dollar amount in the capital projects.
Mr. Huddleston stated on the last page of the memorandum
package there was a listing of the items staff felt could be completed
within a three-year time frame which would qualify them under a bond
issue project. The first being Beautification for Streets and Roadways
at a total cost of $3,000,000, Community Redevelopment Agency with a
project cost of $1,200,000, Drainage Improvements at $1,220,000, Fire
Facility and Equipment at $1,141,000, City Hall Expansion at $1,500,000,
-18- 12/16/86
Atlantic Avenue Beautification at $1,000,000 and at the bottom an
additional item of consideration, N.W. Drainage for $2,410,000.
Upon question concerning payback, Mayor Campbell stated it
would come from the General Fund Utility Tax, the Beautification Fund
and reimbursement from the respective agencies listed.
Mr. Dougherty stated in the budget for 1986/1987 there were
projects amounting to $8,513,000 which consisted of General Operating
Projects, Drainage Projects, Public Safety, Cemetery, Seawall, Marina,
Water and Sewer, City Hall, Recreation Impact, Beach Renourishment,
Beautification, City Hall Expansion and the Elementary School. In
August a different total surfaced amounting to either $12,721,000 or
$15,221,000. Now council has a package of $9,000,000. He questioned why
the CRA and DDA were created, if they were not going to be self-suffi-
cient.
The City Manager concurred with Mayor Campbell in that Council
had previously approved all the projects in question. The Atlantic
Avenue project, one that is currently being reviewed by DDA, CRA and the
City to determine if the City is going to move ahead with the project.
Ken Simback, Director of Community Redevelopment Agency,
stated that in the process of discussing the beautification project with
the Beautification Trust Fund Committee, the opportunity arose to
proceed with the improvements that were intended for the downtown area,
east of Swinton to the intracoastal. It was the original intent not to
get involved into widening sidewalks, adding additional street furni-
ture, etc. for the coming two to three years. The opportunity arose to
retain a competent design firm to design those improvements. Council
voted to approve that earlier tonight. The next question is to finance
the improvements recommended by the consultants. They are attempting to
arrange for financing in order to proceed. During this process they are
providing the City with revenue projections for the coming eleven-year
period and indicated there would be adequate cash flow over that period
to underwrite the additional cost. If the project can be expedited by
two to three years, it may save the City money due to inflation and
additional costs incurred by postponement. The financing that is
available now would present a substantial savings to the CRA and the
DDA. The risk to the City by supporting the CRA and the DDA would be no
more or less if those two agencies were to finance the project indepen-
dently.
Mayor Campbell asked for a breakdown of the contributions. Mr.
Simback stated conceptually, the beautification trust had intended to
provide for the landscaping treatment. The CRA plans were for not only
additional landscaping, but also for sidewalks, new curbing and re-
striping of parking. The one million dollars would provide for all the
Hardscape and a portion of the 3.5 million would provide trees, shrubs,
etc., by beautification.
Mr. Dougherty questioned where the CRA was getting their share
to pay. According to the budget, the account showed a balance of
$50,000 that will be used to repay the loan from the City. Their
proportionate share to be paid up front to float the bond is 20%. Mr.
Simback stated there would be a period of time while the project would
be undergoing architectural and engineering work, creating limited
expenditures for the CRA. In the budget for 1987/1988 the CRA will have
adequate revenue available to satisfy the projected debt service.
Mr. Dougherty stated that just over one million dollars had to
be paid to float the issue and the CRA should pay their proportionate
share up front.
Mr. Huddleston stated that on the statement of sources and uses
of funds, the uses which include the underwriting discount and cost of
insurance are part of the borrowing and are part of the total bond
revenue source of $10,415,000 which is on the schedule and that is part
of the debt service payment; the CRA would be paying their proportionate
share of each year's payment, but the issuance costs are part of the
borrowing. Mr. Dougherty stated that was expected to be recovered up
front.
-19- 12/16/86
Mr. Huddleston stated that would be a policy decision if
Council wanted the CRA to pay their costs up front rather than extended
over a twenty-year period. Mr. Dougherty asked if the initial cost for
the issuance of the bond and having it certified become part of the
twenty-year amortization period or is it up front costs. Mr. Ross,
Financial Advisor, stated it would be included in the annual debt
service payment.
Mr. Ross stated that by the time the bonds are issued, nearly
half of the year will be gone and the debt service for the first year
will be interest only and the total amount for all will be less than
$250,000.
Mayor Campbell asked if the cash on hand had been taken into
consideration for the Utility Tax. Mr. Huddleston stated the Beautifi-
cation Fund's first year requirement would be approximately $88,000.
Mayor Campbell stated there should be nearly $190,000 on hand at this
time. Mr. Huddleston stated that would be an excess that stays in the
beautification fund. After paying the $88,000, the balance will draw
interest and be used for future debt service.
Mr. Dougherty requested a reply as to why the Sunshine Fund was
replaced with a bond issue. Mr. Huddleston stated that tax laws and
changes have made the attractiveness from the banking standpoint dimin-
ish. The Sunshine Pool originally offered nine modes, consisting of
eight variables and one fixed and the banks working with the Pool are
now only looking at the variable rate. Council had expressed some
concern about going with the variable rate when it can be locked in at
this time with a favorable fixed rate.
Mr. Dougherty stated that the original recommendation that was
made in favor of the Sunshine Fund was not as good as originally felt.
The City Manager responded at the time it appeared to be a viable
program. As it was explained and the operation became better under-
stood, the City Council made a decision to work with the City and
attempt to do a full analysis. It has begun to assume a cloudy atmo-
sphere, the new tax bill has gone into effect, the banks have changed
their mode of operations and the operation has diminished. The recom-
mendation made by Mr. Ross to go to a conventional utility bond is the
best option at this point.
Mr. James Bowen stated that two years ago a Mayor's Task Force
on Atlantic Avenue had a plan to beautify Atlantic east from Swinton and
he had questioned the chairman, Tom Lynch, if they had been given any
verbal or written permission from DOT to accept First Street North and
First Street South as substitutes for Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Lynch stated
they had neither and to his knowledge there have been no negotiations
with DOT. He did not want to see Council vote money for beautifying
Atlantic Avenue east of Swinton without first obtaining permission from
DOT. It could take three years to get that; the money must be spent
within three years and then it would be too late.
Mayor Campbell suggested that prior to any formal bonding
resolution, Council should receive some response on the items Mr. Bowen
has referred to.

project list as proposed by staff in the memorandum of December 8, with
