07-09-85 JULY 9~ 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, July 9, 1985.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Malcolm T. Bird
Council Member Marie Horenburger
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell
Absent - None
Also present were - Acting City Manager Robert A. Barcinski,
and City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Dr. William Echols,
Cason United Methodist Church.
~3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of June 25, 1985 and Special Meeting of June 18, 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.a.1. Mrs. Elaine Roberts, 312 N. Swinton Avenue, requested that
Council give consideration to extending the sidewalk on S.E. 1st Avenue
in front of the Miraposa Nursing Home to S.E. 1st Street facing Swinton
Avenue. This would allow the people in wheelchairs and walkers to get
more exercise. She understands that the two nurses who run the facility
have written letters to Council in this regard.
Mayor Campbell asked the Acting City Manager to look into it
and come back to Council with an answer to the request.
5.a.2. Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, reported on the Wells
Fargo Game Field National Fitness Campaign with regard to a fitness
course at Barwick Park. She advised that with a $2500 grant from the
Wells Fargo program and with the local representative, JFK Hospital,
providing $3500, the cost to the City, including shipping, installation,
etc, would amount to about $3,000. It has been suggested that scouts
who are trying to earn their badges could be used for certain portions
of the work. If Council wants to go ahead with it, the application for
the grant should be filled out at this time. Some conditions of grant
approval are that the course must be installed by the end of 1985 and
that it will be relatively near a public facility (the new school).
After the course is in place, JFK will sponsor a groundbreaking ceremony
and, later on, will use the course for physical fitness activities.
Mayor Campbell stated he has heard that several civic organ-
izations may be interested in helping out with the City's share of the
funding.
Mr. Bird expressed concern relative to JFK's activities
after completion of the course. He questioned the size and frequency of
these activities. Further, he questioned the City's liability in this
regard.
It was the consensus of Council to make application for the
grant and to have Hrs. Finst address Mr. Bird's concerns to Mr. Ashford,
the Coordinator.
Mayor Campbell also asked Mrs. Finst to find out the cost of
adding on to the course at a later time.
5.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon expressed concern with regard to the HUD
Block Grant. Upon question, the Acting City Manager advised that they
have until September 30th to submit to HUD all of the paperwork. He
will do everything in his power to get it completed in time.
5.b.2. Mrs. Horenburger asked Council to have the City Attorney
review Section 3-4 of the Code of Ordinances which discusses areas and
locations where sale of alcohol is permitted. It speaks about not
allowing restaurants to be across the street from each other and she
would request the City Attorney to modify it, not to encourage strings
of bars, but to allow restaurants where they belong. Council concurred.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated several weeks ago she asked about
police sensitivity training and apparently they do not have it often
enough. She requested that during budget consideration, management look
into putting something in for police sensitivity training and possibly
explore using local help. Council concurred.
5.b.4. With regard to the case which Internal Affairs is currently
investigating, Mr. Weatherspoon asked if he could have a copy of that
report once the investigation is completed. The Acting City Manager
replied, yes.
5.b.5. Mr. Bird noted that some of the members have been unable to
attend the Land Use Advisory Committee meetings and he suggested they
consider replacing those members with nominees who are able to attend.
Further, he suggested sending the nominees to Mrs. Plume, Chairman of
that committee.
Mrs. Plume advised that the committee meets on Wednesdays at
1:00 P.~.
Mayor Campbell urged that a member of the Planning & Zoning
Board try to attend those meetings. If a member is unable to attend, he
asked that Mrs. Plume or someone on the committee speak to Mr. Ellis or
another member of the Planning & Zoning Board in order to keep them
abreast of what is going on.
5.b.6. Mr. Jackel read from an article in the News of Delray of
July 4, 1985 regarding a possible court site in Delray Beach. The
article stated that Mayor Doak Campbell and Council Members Malcolm Bird
and Marie Horenburger offered the County twenty acres of land for the
new courthouse and also offered the City's old Police Station to be used
for a larger South County Sheriff's Sub-station. Further, they sug-
gested several sites including the old Delray Beach Elementary School,
the municipal tennis courts and the land across from the tennis courts
near the site of the new Police Station.
Mr. Jackel stated that this was news to him. Last week
Council had a long discussion about a land swap. A developer was going
to give them fifteen acres for a school and in return they were going to
get the old Delray Beach Elementery School to be used as a home for the
Historical Society and a Cultural Center. He was highly in favor of
this. He feels that those three members of Council used very poor
judgment in going before the County Commission and offering twenty acres
without consulting the full Council. He hopes they will not do this
again.
Mayor Campbell stated that the County Commission at that
meeting was discussing an item that was going to affect Delray Beach.
The three of them, individually, took the time and interest to attend
that meeting. They were there to lobby on behalf of the people of
Delray Beach. The only thing they asked was that before the County
makes any final determination of where it is going to spend 10 million
dollars in Delray Beach, that City Council be allowed to look at alter-
nate proposals that may have a good side effect towards the redevelop-
ment of Atlantic Avenue. He knew that the school site was pretty much
ruled out and they did not press it. He feels that the downtown area
would impact the City less, traffic-wise, than putting these increases
- 2 - 07/09/85
on Congress Avenue; this is his personal opinion and he has not dis-
cussed it with any other Council members. He further explained that no
commitments were made, he does not see anything wrong with what they did
and he would do it again on behalf of the people.
Mr. Bird added that this newspaper is the same one that
thinks they have parking meters in the downtown area. He stated only he
and Mayor Campbell spoke that day with regard to (1) asking that the
City be involved in the site location; and (2) encouraging a jury pool.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that the article says she made a
presentation when in fact she never spoke a word at that meeting. The
reporter that wrote that article never even spoke to her that evening.
She attended, at the request of Dr. Andre Fladell of the South County
Political Cooperative, to hear about the jury pool. She felt it was
very important to be there.
5.b.7. Mayor Campbell stated he feels the issue of code enforcement
will be a ma]or item both at budget time and in the coming year. He
advised that in response to a request to look into meeting twice a
month, Mr. Bill Owens, Chairman of the Code Enforcement Board, said that
it was not necessary to do so as their agendas are short and average
meeting times have been 2-2½ hours. Mayor Campbell expressed concern
over (1) they have so many complaints and an inability to process them
and (2) why isn't the Board able to hear and act on these complaints.
He feels they may need to look into additional personnel. Further they
need to look into the timeliness by which they can correct these viola-
tions. He noted that it took three weeks to get a junked automobile
cleared. Mayor Campbell asked the City Attorney and Acting City Manager
to look into this and follow up on it.
5.b.8. Mayor Campbell stated he received a communication from the
City of Palm Beach Gardens which requests that the County review its
sign code relative to authorizing the erection and use of billboards
contiguous or near the boundaries of the City of Palm Beach Gardens.
Mayor C~apbell urged that an appropriate resolution supporting this be
drafted and passed as soon as possible. Council concurred. Mr. Bird
suggested the resolution state nowhere within a one mile radius of any
City-controlled property to avoid billboards on County pockets.
5.b.9. Mayor Campbell stated that they have heard from Mrs. Carol
Stevenson regarding a Code Enforcement action. Mr. Pennington has given
him a report on her complaint and the City's insurance underwriters have
now completed a report which the Acting City Manager will be getting.
He promised Mrs. Stevenson that she would be allowed to speak before
Council and he requests this be put on the next workshop agenda. Fur-
ther, he asked the Acting City Manager to make those reports and other
documents available to Council and he urged Council to review them
before the workshop. Council concurred.
5.c.1. The City Attorney stated that last week Council instructed
him to prepare a memorandum on zoning and land use plan moratoriums;
copies of it have been provided to Council for review. Based upon
discussions with staff, as a methodology of approaching it, his office
has prepared a resolution which Council might consider in its review.
Mayor Campbell suggested deferring this until they get a
report from Mrs. Plume.
5.d. There were no Non-Agenda Items by the Acting City Manager.
6. Mr. Bird moved for agenda approval, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horen-
burger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
7. Report from Comprehensive Land Use Advisory Committee on mora-
torium for land use plan changes and zonin~ chan~es. Mrs. Phyllis
Plume, Chairman, presented a report from the Committee stating they are
concerned over the rapid growth and changes that have taken place in the
last few years without benefit of sufficient background information and
without a study of the cumulative impact all of these changes will make
- 3 - 07/09/85
on roadways, City services and the quality of life. It is the recom-
mendation of the Committee that a moratorium be imposed on any land use
plan amendments and rezonings from any category to commercial or indus-
trial use and from any residential to less restrictive residential.
They ask this be continued until the completion of the Land Use Plan
update.
Mayor Campbell stated they hope to be able to come up with a
Plan they can all live with for many years to come. The Legislature has
said that after October they can only amend their Land Use Plan twice a
year. Mr. Bird stated that if the Land Use Plan is their biggest prob-
lem, the City pockets have to be their second biggest. He feels that
all the remarks made by Mrs. Plume are well covered in the resolution
which the City Attorney prepared. He requested that the City Attorney
read the resolution and, if Council is in concurrence, he suggested they
adopt it immediately.
The City Attorney read Resolution No. 62-85 in full and gave
a brief description of the moratorium process which he explained is long
and involved. The prospect of it being effective when challenged in
Court is 50/50 at best. As a basis for an ordinance moratorium, they
will need a staff or consultant study as to its impact effect and a
short duration. If their Land Use Plan update is a year or two away, a
Court probably would not permit a moratorium for that long a time.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney replied
that the resolution would not require all the detail of a moratorium
ordinance. The resolution is a statement of the City's position as to
those properties affected and a fair warning that they will be reviewed
extremely harshly during this period. It is not a termination of the
process as the moratorium ordinance would be.
Mrs. Plume stated she hopes everyone understands that the
Committee will be coming out with recommendations which they will turn
over to and discuss with the Planning & Zoning Board who may in turn
kick them out. What Council should be addressing is the Land Use Plan
update and not the report from the Committee.
Mr. Bird felt it should be a stepped procedure to give
everybody their opportunity in turn to make suggestions.
Mr. Robert Ellis, Planning & Zoning Board Chairman, stated
that he is in support of having citizens groups but feels they should
work in an orderly fashion through lines of authority. He feels it is
wrong for the Land Use Plan Committee to make a recommendation directly
to Council and have Council adopt it without any input or response from
the Planning & Zoning Board. He urges Council not to take any action on
this resolution until such time as the Land Use Plan Committee has had
meetings with the Planning and Zoning Board and have come to Council
with a mutually agreeable proposal or recommendation.
Mayor Campbell stated he is not sure they are ready to adopt
anything tonight. He suggested they schedule a Special Meeting for
formal adoption of the resolution prior to next Tuesday's workshop
meeting. Mayor Campbell suggested further that Mr. Ellis call a special
session of his Board to review the resolution and give Council its
recommendation. Mr. Bird suggested that copies of the resolution be
made available to petitioners during the next week so they are aware of
what is being considered.
Mrs. Helen Coopersmith, Land Use Plan Committee, stated that
the Committee never intended to overstep its bounds.
For the record, Mr. Ellis stated that the Planning & Zoning
Board is open to speak with any citizens group.
Mr. Jackel stated that this resolution is in response to
citizens outcries of several weeks ago. He feels it is the mildest
resolution they could have in response. It is much less than a morato-
rium and he doesn't see how anyone can get upset with this resolution.
However, he is willing to let it go for another week and vote at that
time.
- 4 - 07/09/85
It was the consensus of Council to schedule a Special Meet-
ing next Tuesday prior to workshop to consider adoption of Resolution
No. 62-85.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Council Chambers at this time.
