06-11-85 JUNE 11, 1985
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Doak S. Campbell in the
Council Chambers at City Hall at 7:05 P.M., Tuesday, June 11, 1985.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Marie Horenburger
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell
Absent - Malcolm T. Bird
Also present were - City Manager James L. Pennington, and
City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Gerald Dingman,
C~son United Methodist Church.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mrs. Horenburger moved for the approval of the minutes of
the Regular Meeting of May 28, 1985, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; ~r. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, Mayor Campbell noted that there was a set
of minutes which delineated the boundaries of the Community Development
area; these boundaries should not have included the Delray Mall and he
asked that the record show that it was not Council's intention to in-
clude it. (Note: At the May 14th regular meeting Council adopted Reso-
lution No. 32-85 which modified the area as suggested by Mayor Campbell
which would delete portions west of 1-95 and south of 10th Street).
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.a.1. Mr. Tom Haenlon, 613 N.E. 4th Street, spoke about the Monday
'Paper's May 27th article regarding Mayor Campbell's ficus fury. It was
the contention of the Mayor that the trimming of these trees in Knowles
Park was excessive and resulted from carelessness. Mr. Haenlon dis-
agreed noting that Parks Department staff felt the trimming was neces-
sary; he discussed some of the reasons why. He pointed out other prob-
lems in that park; the restroom facilities have no lights or doors and
the drinking fountain and soda machine are in need of maintenance and
repair. Mr. Haenlon then recited a poem on the subject of tree trim-
ming. He noted that Mr. Dezearn, Parks Supervisor, was concerned be-
cause his crew felt they were unjustifiably criticized. Mr. Haenlon
feels that Mayor Campbell should apologize to Mr. Dezearn and his crew
and allow the completion of the tree trimming at Knowles Park.
Mayor Campbell advised that the National Arbor Foundation
has standards on trimming trees. Council is constantly requesting
beautification efforts and park upkeep in the City. There are trees in
front of City Hall and all over town which were damaged by the frost and
need to be severely cut back. He keeps hearing that there is not enough
money, personnel or time. He was then shocked to see a crew working on
a tree in Knowles Park which had no frost damage at all. He questions
the priorities and intends to address this at budget time.
5.a.2. Mr. Theodis Brown, 616 Lake Ida Road, discussed the small
park/playground located on the corner of S.W. 8th Avenue and S.W. 4th
Street. It needs a fence around it to protect the children, the basket-
ball court has holes in it and the swings are falling apart. This park
is a landmark for the people living in the area because they grew up
around it.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he mentioned this park to Mr. Dan
Winters, Parks & Recreation Director, several months ago who said he
would address it. He will remind Mr. Winters of it once again.
5.a.3. Mr. Brown stated that he will be contacting HUD because they
need more low income apartments for Delray Beach. He found out that
many homeless people are staying in abandoned houses.
5.a.4. Mr. Philip Bacon, 3648 S.W. 24th Lane, advised that he and
his father are partners in a project to construct a self-service car
wash at the northeast corner of N.E. 6th Avenue and 5th Street. Based
upon City staff advising them that the area is zoned for that, they
entered into a purchase contract with the owner of the property. Five
days after they submitted their plans to the Building Department, their
builder was notified that no further building permits would be issued by
action of Council and that they must obtain a conditional use which is a
ninety day process that cannot begin before July 1st. This could not
possibly be done in time to satisfy their contract. He objects to the
"effective immediately" clause on Council's action and feels it is
unfair because their project had already begun and they had previously
checked with the City before Council's action took place.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not believe that an immediate
moratorium was Council's intent. They want to give fair and just warn-
ing to people who might be affected by this type of action. People like
Mr. Bacon, who are relying upon representations made by City staff,
should not be penalized by this. Mr. Jackel concurred. Mrs. Horen-
burger sympathized with Mr. Bacon and felt they should look into another
cutoff date. Mayor Campbell suggested that anyone inquiring about the
zoning in this area should be told that Council intends to change it and
that they might not get a license; further, that this should not affect
anyone who is already in the process.
The City Attorney advised that they were contacted by Mr.
Bacon's attorney yesterday and they are in the process of drafting
something for Council's review.
Mr. Jackel moved to modify the previous motion imposing the
moratorium on the issuance of building permits or CO's for those uses
pending the zoning ordinance review to apply that moratorium on permits
and occupational licenses to all those properties who had, for new
construction or renovations, not made formal application which had been
received by the City as of the date of the last motion (May 28, 1985)
and as for those businesses which would not be requiring permits but
only changing their uses and making application for occupational li-
censes, the same would be true, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
5.a.3. Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, requested that Council
make available four or five extra copies of this year's budget so that
interested citizens can have an opportunity to borrow one to review
overnight. Upon question by Mrs. Finst, the City Manager advised that
the budget will be available in late July.
5.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon asked the status on the staff report re-
garding parking on 5th Avenue. The City Manager stated that off-street
and on-street parking are the second and third phases of the original
design. Nothing has been done further on that. It is his intention
that the City can contract with Barker, Osha, Anderson to at least
finish up the second phase because right now they do not have any park-
ing at all. Until they get the studies done, they have no idea where
the parking should go.
5.b.2. With regard to the change they made in the R-iA zoning for
trucks, Mrs. Horenburger asked Council to consider asking the Code
Enforcement Board to overturn their previous order and direct the City
to satisfy Mr. Melvin Wring's lien against his house without any payment
on Mr. Wring's part. The City Attorney advised that the lien is for
about $13,000. Mrs. Horenburger pointed out that with the change in
zoning, Mr. Wring is no longer in violation of the Code. Mayor Campbell
suggested there be a nominal fine imposed on Mr. Wring.
- 2 - 6/11/85
Mrs. Horenburger moved to instruct the City Attorney's
office to petition the Code Enforcement Board to indicate compliance
with their order and that the fines running on the property would cease
and the City would record a satisfaction of lien for the amount of
$25.00, including costs of recording, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
~b~- Mrs. Horenburger advised that she received a letter from
Mrs. Janice Parrish regarding her attempt to annex into the City. Mrs.
Parrish paid to have her deed recorded and was then asked to pay for a
record search. Mrs. Horenburger suggested that the City do that search
work through the City Attorney's Office and Lawyers Title; it would cost
the City $40.00 per search and would be encouragement for people to
annex in.
Council discussion was had at this time. The City Attorney
clarified that it costs $40.00 per legal description. It was Council's
consensus that this should only apply to one legal description and only
for residential single family lots.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that the City undertake the record
search on annexation of single family lots through Lawyers Title for a
$40 fee in conjunction with an annexation petition, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horen-
burger- Yes; Mr. Jackel -Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon- Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
5.b.4. Mrs. Horenburger discussed the proposed beach committee.
The Chamber of Commerce has recommended the appointment of Bill Koch,
III. There are four other positions on that commitee and Council had
discussed having one from the north beach, one from the south beach, one
from west of the Intracoastal and one from west of 1-95. She would like
to exempt herself from naming any of those and would ask that the other
members of Council come back with recommendations at next week's work-
shop.
5.b.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated, with regard to the Beautification
Trust Fund Committee, Mrs. Rachel Speicher, Beautification Committee,
Sharon Cook, Garden Club, and Andrea Goodman, Historical Society, have
agreed to serve. The Chamber of Commerce advised that they would like
to nominate Mr. John McKenna, a local CPA, to be the fourth member. The
fifth member will be selected by the Beach Committee.
5.b.6. To dispute rumors about minority discrimination at the
Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course, Mr. Jackel read into the record a
letter from the Fairview Golf Club, a black organization, commending the
Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course facilities and staff.
5.b.7. Mr. Jackel stated that two weeks ago when Council approved
the Delint Center project, a statement was made that the unemployment
rate in Delray Beach is 9.7%, the idea being that the Delint project
would help alleviate the unemployment problem. He has since found out
that 9.7% was the figure for 1982. The actual 1985 unemployment rate is
7.5%. When they handle statistics, they need to be careful that they
are accurate and put in proper perspective.
5.b.8. Mr. Jackel asked for an update on the issue of residency
requirements for board and committee members.
5.b.9. With regard to the County pocket at 8th Street and the
Intracoastal, Mayor Campbell stated that there have been rumors that a
Banana Boat may be going in there. The residents in that area are
opposed to that type of activity. He suggests they try to help the
citizens by asking the County Commission to rezone that little pocket
from General Commercial, which would allow a lounge/bar, to Specialized
Commercial which would preclude such a use.
It was the consensus of Council to have Mayor Campbell write
to Mr. Ken Adams requesting that the County Commission look into initi-
ating such a rezoning on that one acre parcel.
- 3 - 06/11/85
5.b.10. Mayor Campbell reported that Council needs to designate a
member to a Committee in which the Municipal League will be having
consideration of weighted voting.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to designate Mayor Campbell, seconded
by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horen-
burger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
5.c.1. The City Attorney advised that a piece of property in Rain-
berry Bay pulled a permit and had a screen enclosure erected. The
property was then cited for violating setbacks. The permit should not
have been issued and he advised the owner that the matter would either
have to go before the Board of Adjustment for a Variance or the screen
enclosure would have to be moved to conform with setback requirements.
They have agreed to go to the Board of Adjustment. He is requesting
that Council waive the filing fee for this particular instance.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to waive the filing fee in this
particular instance, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 0 vote.
5.d.1. With regard to a question Mr. Weatherspoon asked last week
about a tree at N.W. 5th Avenue being down, the City Manager stated that
staff has checked into it and it will be corrected. Neither the City
nor the County has accepted that street yet; however, they still want to
know about any problems that may occur.
5.d.2. The City Manager advised that Council has been provided with
Russell & Axon's water study Phase I for their review. They met with
Post Buckley and are aware that Council is waiting for them to make some
recommendations relative to the area west of Military Trail.
5.d.3. The City Manager advised that Council has been provided with
copies of the USGA report which was completed last week. A representa-
tive from USGA toured the golf course and made recommendations which
Council will find in the report.
5.d.4. The City Manager reported that they have been notified that
Barwick Park will not receive funding from the State Department of
Natural Resources.
5.d.5. The City Manager reported that he has received a request
from Knight Enterprises to land a helicopter on land adjacent to Federal
Highway at the Old Harbor Trading Center on Thursday between 12:00 Noon
and 1:00 P.M.
The City Attorney advised that there is nothing in the Code
which prohibits this and he does not think the City would incur any
liability if they took no action, providing Mr. Knight does it on his
own property. If they gave him permission to do it on a City street,
they might incur liability.
It was the consensus of Council for the City Manager to tell
Mr. Knight that Council is not predisposed to have him land on their
streets.
6. Mr. Jackel moved for agenda approval, seconded by Mrs.
H0renburger. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horen-
burger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

point members tonight, he questions whether or not they should defer
these items. The City Attorney recommended deferring both items. Mayor
Campbell suggested putting these items on a Special Meeting next Tuesday

Mr. Michael Botos, representing the petitioner, discussed
the depth of the property and advised that they have acquired contracts
to purchase lots behind the subject property. The overall effect would
be to increase the depth of the property from 100 feet to 250 feet and
to square it out. They have submitted to Planning & Zoning an addi-
tional application for annexation and rezoning for the four new lots and
would like to be able to have Council consider all of the property at
once as an overall parcel. For this reason they recommend that Council
consider this property at such time as the other property has received
P&Z approval and is ready to come before Council.
Upon question by Council, Mr. Botos advised that with the
additional depth they can build a high quality office building and can
limit it to two stories. Mayor Campbell stated that they can discuss
this further when it comes back before them.
