4. Mr. Jackel moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of February 12, 1985, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;
Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
4.a. Mr. Jackel moved for approval and substitution of the cor-
rected minutes of the Special Meeting of February 1, 1985, seconded by
Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird -
Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.a.1. Mr. Tom Haenlon, 613 N.E. 4th Street, stated that recently
there have been numerous appeals to decisions made by the Community
Appearance Board; he feels that changes need to be made to the Code of
Ordinances. Mr. Bridges, member of CAB, recently completed a new form
which will greatly enhance the Board's effectiveness and give the peti-
tioners a more comprehensive and clearer idea of what must be provided.
Mr. Bridges has also suggested that the Board receive a limited, but
inclusive, set of plans pertinent to their area of responsibility. He
feels these changes should be established as a guiding policy. Mr.
Haenlon stated the Board has also discussed the possibility of allowing
the City's Sign Inspector to have the authority to approve various signs
which meet the Code; this idea should also be instituted and changed in
the Code.
5.b.1. Mr. Bird stated, with regard to shared parking, he feels
they are in a position where there is a contractual relationship between
the City and the developer and there should be some methodology whereby
they can insure that parking which is required in an area is indeed
provided. The only way to do this is to have the contributions made in
lieu of parking made out to the City, held in a special fund and dis-
bursed to meet parking deficiency in an area where the development
occurs. The City and Council should be directly responsible as opposed
to having the Downtown Development Authority act as a third party and
exercise that authority.
Mr. Bird moved to direct staff to make the appropriate
ordinance changes and return them to Council for their consideration,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mr. Jackel, Mr. Bird stated the funds
already collected by the DDA will remain where they are; neither he nor
the City Attorney could find any mechanism whereby they could recover
those funds. He suggested that when the ordinance is drafted it be done
so to reflect that the date of implementation is today's date.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.b.2. Mrs. Horenburger reminded Council about the Municipal League
Meeting which will be held on Thursday, February 28th at 3:30 P.M., at
the Village of Royal Palm Beach.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger moved that funds from the recreational
impact fees be spent on lighting for Sterling Field, seconded by Mr.
Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, upon question by Mayor Campbell, the
Acting City Manager advised the cost will be approximately $60,000.
Later in the meeting Mrs. Horenburger realized that Sterling
Field already has lights and that she should have been referring to
Merritt Field.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that funds from the recreational
impact fees be spent on lighting for Merritt Field, seconded by Mr.
Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.b.4. Mr. Weatherspoon requested a status report on the trash
cleanup program.
The Acting City Manager stated that since Council's last
meeting they have had several discussions with Waste Management trying
to get a new proposal. They have also looked at the possibility of
contracting out with another firm. This would require a bid procedure
and the time element involved would probably be 45 to 90 days.
5.b.5. Mr. Weatherspoon stated a few weeks ago Council received a
memo regarding the trash along Roosevelt Avenue. He would like Council's
consensus to ask staff to direct the appropriate department to pick up
that trash. Council concurred.
Mayor Campbell questioned, regarding the trash cleanup
program, how soon they will be able to publish their notice in the
newspapers.
The Acting City Manager stated one of his concerns is pub-
lishing a notice without a commitment to expend the funds. He would
like some kind of consensus from Council that they will go ahead with
the program no matter who does the cleanup and that funds will be com-
mitted. Waste Management's high proposal is approximately $42,000.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Council commit itself to spend
up to $50,000 but preferably below $40,000.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that Council commit itself to spend
up to $50,000 but preferably below $40,000, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Mr. Jackel stated he has two concerns; one is how much they
have in the Sanitation Reserve Fund and the other is the time element as
it has been suggested by the County Horticulturist that pruning should
not begin until the middle of March. He would like the pickup to be
done at the end of March; however, according to the memo received from
Waste Management they can either do it now or some time in April.
- 2 - 2/26/85
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion that they designate Waste
~lanagement to be the contractor and pledge that the funds, to the extent
that those funds are available, first come from the Garbage and Trash
Reserve and then from the Contingency Reserve to make up whatever dif-
ference, an amount not to exceed $50,000, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Upon roll cal 1 Council voted as fol lows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, the
Acting City Manager explained that the "high" figure he previously spoke
of was based on the estimated amount of additional trash they would have
to collect; if there is less trash, then the figure will be less. Waste
Management has suggested that the trash pickup be done between the llth
and 24th of March.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.b.6. Mayor Campbell stated he has spoken with Mr. James Johnson,
who oversees the Code Enforcement Division, and suggested that he come
to the next workshop meeting to give an overview on their general pro-
cedures. He would like Council's concurrence to put this on the workshop
agenda. Council concurred.
5.b. 7. Mayor Campbell acknowledged that he has received an ad-
ditional $100, for beautification, from citizens in the Pines of Delray.
5.b.8. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation proclaiming February
28, 1985, as "Alcohol Awareness Day".
5.c.1. The Assistant City Attorney advised, that under Item 11 on
the Consent Agenda, Council will be approving the reappointment of Mr.
John Saracino.
5.c.2. The Assistant City Attorney advised that Item 12 of the
Consent Agenda should read "subject to City Attorney's approval".
5.c.3. The Assistant City Attorney requested that Item 14, relative
to Marina Delray, be postponed until March 26th as the City Attorney
wished to address Council on this matter himself.
Mayor Campbell stated he would prefer postponing this to
March 12th as this matter has been going on for so long.
The Assistant City Attorney advised that Council will also
need to authorize the extension of Marina Delray's temporary Certificate
of Occupancy.
Mr. Bird moved to extend the temporary Certificate of Oc-
cupancy to 12 noon, March 13, 1985, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird -Yes; Mrs. Horenburger- Yes;
Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.d.1. The Acting City Manager reported that Mr. Pennington is now
home recuperating and is progressing very well; he is also receiving
visitors and phone calls.
Mr. Bird left the Council Chambers at this time.
6. Mr. Jackel moved for approval of the Agenda as modified,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:

Louise Stebbins

Mayor Campbel 1 suggested that, initial ly, they ask the

their organization as to coordinating a time and place. The Planning
Director could also temporarily act as Chairman until the Committee
selects their own. Mayor Campbell requested that each Council Member
contact their nominee, if they are not present tonight, and have them
call the Planning Department.
19. A~reement with Seaboard System Railroad~ Inc. Council is to
consider authorizing use of railroad right-of-way for a 20" water main
in the vicinity north of Atlantic Avenue and 1-95.
- 6 - 2/26/85
The Acting City Manager stated this right-of-way is needed
to connect the City's eastern storage facility with the new ground
storage tank located in the west. However, the City Attorney has a
policy problem with the agreement regarding the liability insurance. He
is recommending that Council execute this agreement in conjunction with
the recommendations of the City Attorney.
The Assistant City Attorney advised that they have reviewed
this agreement and their basic concern is with the provisions which
require the City to indemnify and hold harmless the railroad, i.e., the
City would accept liability for anything other than their sole neg-
ligence. She talked with the Seaboard System Railroad, Inc., today and
they have modified the language in the agreement. The Assistant City
Attorney outlined the changes they have made which will clarify and
narrow down what the City is assuming liability for. She advised the
City still remains liable for everything other than sole negligence,
provided that whatever property damage or injury is caused has been
proximately caused by the installation or use of the pipe. These
changes have been accepted by the Railroad.
Mr. Bird moved to approve of the agreement provided the
changes presented by the Assistant City Attorney will be made, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon for discussion.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated the City Attorney usually specifies
a time frame and this agreement does not contain one.
The Assistant City Attorney suggested that Council make a
motion to approve the agreement subject to the City Attorney's office
being able to negotiate a time period which the Utilities Department
would find sufficient to amortize the cost of the pipe.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include the Assistant City
Attorney's suggestion, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird -Yes; Mrs. Horenburger- Yes;
Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
20. Water Service Agreement - Charter Building. Council is to
consider execution of a water service agreement for an existing seven
story bank and office building, located west of Military Trail at the
southeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and Markland Lane. It is zoned CS
(Specialized Commercial) in the County. This land is outside the City's
Planning Reserve Area but is within the boundaries established by City
Council for providing water service, i.e., east of the E-3 Canal.
Mr. Jackel stated he has several problems regarding this
item: (1) approximately nine months ago Council adopted a policy allow-
ing water and sewer service to be extended to the E-3 Canal. It was
recommended, at that time, that a study be done of the entire area as to
the possibility of supplying it with water. It was his understanding
that a study would be done before any further action was taken in that
area; to date, no study has been made; (2) the Charter Building is not
within the reserve area and it may be illegal for Council to sign a
water service annexation agreement at this time; (3) one year ago,
Lindsleys, which is across the street, was refused water service; (4)
the building is seven stories high and exceeds the City's present height
limitations and (5) there has been no indication as to why they are now
requesting water service when the building has been there for several
years.
Mr. Bird stated, in view of the fact that they appointed a
Land Use Comprehensive Planning Committee tonight who will be reviewing
the entire City, he feels they should wait until they hear from them as
to what they see the City growing up to be. That information could then
be assessed by the Utilities Department and they will then be able to
see if they have any excess capacity.
Mr. Bird moved to defer this item until after completion of
the Land Use Comprehensive Plan revision, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
- 7 - 2/26/85
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. Horenburger stated she can see no point in looking at
this application, particularly as the building is already there. They
will not be able to review it at Community Appearance or any other Board
and would disagree with accepting it at all.
Mr. David Nathanson, Coalition for Good Government, stated
last June they brought up solid reasons why water service should not be
extended west of Military Trail; he would like to commend Council for
taking this particular stand. He advised that approximately two weeks
after the May 22, 1984, meeting Council unanimously passed a motion that
water service agreements would not be extended to any property owner
west of Military Trail until such time as the administration made a
proper study of the situation. To his knowledge that study has not been
made and, therefore, the motion still stands.
Mayor Campbell requested that the Acting City Manager relay
this information to the City's Engineering Consultants, Post Buckley
Shua and Jernigan and have some correspondence back to Council at their
next regular meeting.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
21. Ordinance No. 6-85 - Building Height. Ordinance No. 6-85,
amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances that no building
in the CBD (Central Business District) shall be constructed to a height
exceeding four (4) floors or sixty (60) feet, is before Council for
consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held
March 12th.
Mr. Bird suggested that they remand this ordinance to the
Land Use Comprehensive Planning Committee. There is no project cur-
rently pending which would be jeopardized by allowing this item to be
studied. When they first discussed the Committee one of the obligations
Council was going to impose upon them was to look at not only uses of
land but also building height, density and intensity.
Mr. Bird moved to remand this item to the Land Use Com-
prehensive Planning Committee, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird- Yes; Mrs. Horenburger- Yes;
Mr. Jackel - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel stated he does not feel anything will be gained
by deferring this item. He would like to vote on this issue tonight
without studying it any further.
Mr. Weatherspoon and Mrs. Horenburger concurred with Mr.
Bird in that it would not hurt anyone to have the Committee study this
item and they may come up with other suggestions.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell left the Council Chambers at this time.
22. Ordinance No. 23-85 - Entrance Gate Signs. Ordinance No.
23-85, amending Chapter 9 "Buildings and Construction" of the Code of
Ordinances relative to entrance gate signs, is before Council for con-
sideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held
March 12th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 23-85:

Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 27-85 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr Bird stated for him to find favor with this ordinance
would require some changes and suggested the following: (1) all areas
within this ordinance where it addresses itself to compact parking
spaces should be deleted; however he would not apply that stricture for
long-term areas where there is some corporate control (2) the RM zoning
category should not be included in the section regarding off-site park-
ing; (3) with regard to Multiple Uses, an additional paragraph should be
added which would state "in no case may total parking be less than 3.3
spaces per 1,000 square feet"; ( 4 ) the language in subparagraph
(C) (1) (a), regarding tandem parking, should be clarified so that one
resident could not park in front of another; (5) under subparagraph
(2)(b) he questioned whether the Planning and Zoning Board or Council
should have the authority to make the approval; (6) he would like
clarification of Section (D), Parking Requirements, subparagraph (4) (y)
regarding hospitals before final reading and (7) the final determination
for granting administrative relief under Section (F) (1) (a) should be
made by Council.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she concurs with most of Mr. Bird's
comments. Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger regarding compact parking,
Mr. Bird stated he would suggest perhaps applying it in the Industrial
and POI districts where they would have responsibility for policing it
themselves.
Mr. Jackel stated he would not accept Mr. Bird's amendments
as this has been thoroughly worked over by the Planning and Zoning Board
and he feels it is well written.
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion to adopt Ordinance No.
27-85 as presented, with the amendments he stated above, on First Read-
ing, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - No; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion passed with a 3 to
2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Kevin E~an, member of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force and
Chairman of the Parking Committee, stated that when they make their
report to Council next week they will be recommending that there is not
a parking problem in Delray.
Mr. Alexander Simon, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning
Board, stated this ordinance was drafted by Mr. McDaniel, former Plan-
ning Director, and was based on a number of years of study made by the
Urban Land Institute. The Board has spent the last six weeks reworking
this ordinance; some of the issues brought up tonight may have been
mentioned, but they were not considered as barriers to its approval.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
27. Ordinance No. 28-85 - Zonin~ Ordinance Amendment - Parkin~
Regulations for the CBD. Ordinance No. 28-85, amending Chapter 30
"Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to parking regulations for
the CBD (Central Business District), is before Council for consideration
on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held March 12th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 28-85:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30 "ZONING", OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY
AMENDING SECTION 30-13 "CBD (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT)"
(I) "PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS" (3) (a) TO ADD AN
EXCEPTION THAT NO ADDITIONAL OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES
SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT(S) WITHIN
THE CBD; AMENDING SUBSECTION ( 4 ) TO DELETE MULTI PLE

The Assistant City Attorney read the caption of the ordi-
nance.
Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 28-85 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Upon question by Council, the Acting City Manager stated
this ordinance came from staff in conjunction with the Planning and
Zoning Board who were trying to provide an incentive to have residential
developments above stores.
Mr. Bird stated he can understand the intent of this ordi-
nance; however, he cannot understand the concept. If they were to
require one parking space per unit in the CBD that would make sense, but
this ordinance would not require any and would penalize either the
resident owner or the businessman.
Mr. Alexander Simon, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning
Board, stated the hope was to utilize the existing second stories of
some of the buildings to promote and encourage residential occupancies
downtown. It costs $2,500 if you cannot provide a parking space and
they felt this would impede anyone from converting their second story.
If Council feels there should be one space required they can amend the
ordinance; however, he feels something needs to be done to rejuvenate
downtown.
Mr. Jackel made a substitute motion that they send this
ordinance back to the Planning and Zoning Board for their revision,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird -Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -Yes; Mr. Jackel -Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon-
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

parking regulations for the GC (General Commercial) District, is before
Council for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing
will be held March 12th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 29-85:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30 "ZONING", OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY

Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 29-85 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -Yes; Mr. Jackel -Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mr. Bird as to why they did not start from
the Atlantic Ocean and go to 1-95, Mr. Simon stated the Planning and
Zoning Board felt that Council would not allow them to do that. They
were trying to address an area which they felt could be helped and only
focused on that particular area.
Mr. Bird stated he feels that not only does the need exist
in the area which is addressed by this ordinance, but also in the GC
area lying to the north from N.Eo 4th Street to S.E. 2nd Street and from
7th Avenue to at least 2nd Avenue.
Mr. Simon stated the Board felt this ordinance could be a
starting point and can be added on to at a later date.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

30. Change Order - Filters at Water Treatment Plant. Council is
to consider approval of Change Order No. 2 from Lanzo Construction
Company increasing the original contract amount by $45,300 for a total
price of $788,500, with funds to come from the Contingency 1983 Revenue
Bonds. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Robert Pontek, Director of Public Utilities, stated in
September 1984, they went over the design of the two additional filters
which are currently under construction at the Water Treatment Plant.
This change order includes several items for the filters, the most
noteworthy being a complete walkway/operators gallery which would join
the existing filters to the two new ones. This walkway would be used to
run their equipment, used for maintenance, back and forth; the existing
catwalk is 4 feet wide and is not quite wide enough.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Pontek stated at this
time the walkway is not essential; however, it will be when the next two
filters are put in, some time in 1990. Structurally, it would be easier
to build now.
