07-23-85 JULY 23, 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 23, 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 Reverend Ralph Nygard,
Barwick Road Baptist Church.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of July 9, 1985 and the Special Meeting of July 2, 1985,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. 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. Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, read a letter thanking
Council, the City Manager and the Engineering Department for recognizing
the drainage problems they had and for getting them corrected.
5.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he would like to take this op-
portunity to publicly thank Acting City Manager Robert Barcinski for the
job he has done in the absence of the City Manager.
5.b.2. Mr. Weatherspoon thanked Chief Kilgore and his staff for the
timely manner in which they delivered a report he requested.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger requested Council's consensus to consider
establishing a Youth Council in Delray Beach. The Human Relations
Commission and the Delray Beach Housing Authority have been concerned
about this and the Recreation Department has also seen a few problems
with overlapping programs, particularly the soccer and softball pro-
grams. She feels if they establish a Council to study this and co-
ordinate and set up the programs it will be a benefit to all the youth
of Delray.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this at the next
workshop meeting.
5.b.4. Mr. Bird stated that today's storm caused damage to traffic
lights and trees. He suggested they use some of the summer employees to
do a quick clean up for both the City and homeowners who may have tree
limbs down.
5.b.5. Mr. Bird stated he had an opportunity to meet with the
consultant who has been asked to discuss with them the feasibility of
locating the courthouse in the downtown area. The consultant felt that
the County would be most attracted to an open sight located within the
government center area as depicted by the Atlantic Avenue Task Force.
He stated that the lot they currently anticipate putting the City Police
Station on is not an encumbered, restricted piece of land; however, the
property immediately to its west, known as Sterling Field, was given to
the City and deed restricted for use as a park, recreation area or other
municipal use. He feels that in order to have the best chance of bring-
ing the courthouse into the downtown they should move the Police Station
onto the current Sterling Field site. The majority of the cost needed
to upgrade Sterling Field could as easily be used in a different loca-
tion.
Mr. Bird moved that the Police Station be located to the
west edge of that open area of land and the area currently anticipated
for the Police Station be vacated and left vacant pending a review of
the best use, which may or may not be a courthouse site; also, that
monies from the Recreational Impact Fees be utilized to reproduce a
Sterling Field somewhere at the earliest possible time so as not to
diminish the City's recreational capabilities, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. 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:
Mr. Di~by Brid~es, architect of the Police Station, stated
it would cost approximately $30,000 to move the Station and approx-
imately half of that would be recoverable should the land go to the
County for a courthouse. There would also be a delay of five weeks to
allow a complete survey of the new site.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon as to why moving the
Police Station to the west end of the property would warrant an ad-
ditional traffic study, Mr. Bridges stated there would be different
streets coming out onto Atlantic Avenue and there is not a traffic light
there so they would have to work out where a light would go on 4th
Avenue.
Mr. Jackel stated he would like to see this item discussed
at the next workshop meeting with maps and every detail worked out
before he votes on such an important matter.
Mayor Campbell stated it is his understanding that the
County is going to have to render some kind of opinion very soon as to
what they are going to do; however, that is not relevant to Mr. Bird's
suggestion. If they do not put the Police Station on the Sterling Field
site, they would miss a valuable opportunity and would be preempted from
using the property for anything other than a recreational use.
Mr. Bird stated that another important factor in favor of
moving the Police Station is that if they are successful in negotiating
a contract with the Sheriff's Department to move their substation they
could move to the existing Police Station. For them to be directly
across the street from the courthouse, if they were to relocate down-
town, is a desirable aspect.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel as to what they will do with
Sterling Field, Mayor Campbell stated he presumes they will not go
without an additional ballfield and will build a substitute field on
other City property with new and improved lighting facilities. Mr. Bird
suggested that a logical place to move the field would be the property
at Carver Middle School, which includes a lighted facility.
Mr. Jackel stated in view of these additional facts he will
go along with this proposal tonight.
- 2 - 7/23/85
Mr. Weatherspoon stated, if they were to consider the Carver
Middle School area, it would be advantageous to extend 12th Avenue
through the park area. Mr. Bird stated he feels that staff should study
this suggestion.
Mr. Bridges stated moving the Police Facility will not
affect what he had planned to do which is to temporarily move the over-
head wires towards Atlantic Avenue; he has checked with FP&L and they
can move the wires. There is also a question of City approvals; as a
courtesy the last time they went to the Planning Department and through
all the boards, half of the old site was zoned residential and this new
proposed site is all residential; however, they do meet all the setbacks
of the residential requirements and nothing has changed as far as the
planning is concerned.
Mr. Bird stated they need to move ahead with this proposal;
they should vote on it tonight to authorize the change in the site and
ask staff to work as quickly as possible to bring Council a full package
for approval, even if those include some waivers in cases where there
are no substantive changes.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.b.6. Mr. Jackel stated on the way to City Hall tonight he was
very pleased to see that the City's drainage problem along many streets
has been attended to.
5.b.7. ~Ir. Jackel read from an article which appeared in the Sun-
Sentinel regarding the Delray Beach Elementary School being used for
some civic use once it has been vacated. He stated that the City needs
a cultural center and they should get behind Mayor Campbell and do this
wonderful thing.
F~yor Campbell stated the property which is being considered
for the new school involves two entities; Mr. Tom Fleming and a Trust,
NCNB Bank, for his sister. The Bank is going through a laborious review
as to whether or not, under its fiduciary duties, it is able to give
property away. The School Board is having to make its decisions fairly
quickly regarding their budget and if the City cannot get an answer from
the Bank this month they will have to wait another year.
Fir. Bird advised if they could identify the property today,
which they cannot do as the Trust has not told them which particular
square footage it is, the School Board would have the architects doing
the drawings as soon as possible.
5.b.8. F~yor Campbell stated the Municipal League has been discus-
sing weighted voting and this item will be coming up at their meeting
this Thursday. He would like Council's consensus that it is the opinion
of this Council that they do favor weighted voting.
~ir. Bird stated that, having been a former President of the
League, it has always been his position that the League should represent
the citizens. Delray has more citizens than Briny Breezes and both
cities get one vote; he feels somewhere there is an inequity. For that
reason he has always favored weighted voting.
Mr. Jackel stated to his knowledge there has never been a
problem for the big cities; if they had a problem it was carefully
considered by the League. He feels if they go down this path the small
cities will lose interest and the Municipal League as they know it now
will no longer exist. Therefore, he will not vote for weighted voting.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she would be in favor of weighted
voting. Mr. Weatherspoon concurred with Mrs. HOrenburger.
- 3 - 7/23/85
5.b.9. Mayor Campbell stated he had requested that the Code Enforce-
ment Board meet twice a month as items could be brought before the Board
in a more timely manner. He questioned if they were to request that the
Board meet twice a month could it be structured where they have Panel A
and Panel B so that the members would not have to commit themselves to
two times a month, or could they utilize, fully, the great number of
alternate members. He requested that the City Attorney look into this
and render an opinion.
Mr. Bird stated most of the City' s Boards meet twice a
month. If they have a need that serves the public interest and they can
more expeditiously handle affairs by asking for twice a month meetings,
he feels they should formally ask them to do it.
It was the consensus of Council to request that the Code
Enforcement Board meet twice a month.
5.b.10. ~myor Campbell stated there is an institution in this State,
representing the senior citizens, known as the Silver Haired Legisla-
ture. They used to be fully funded by HRS; however, since 1981 they have
lost State funding but have continued to meet. He suggested that Coun-
cil, formally, donate $150 to the fund of the Silver Haired Legislature
showing their support and encouraging them to continue.
Mr. Bird moved that they authorize, from Council funds, $150
per representative from the City of Delray Beach, 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.b.ll. Mayor Campbell advised that it was reported last week that
Standard, Poors and Moodys upgraded the City's bond ratings.
5.c.1. The City Attorney stated he has received a copy of a letter
addressed to the City Manager from Fred Devitt on behalf of the Downtown
Development Authority. The DDA is created by special act, is an in-
dependent district and, therefore, their millage does not affect the
City's roll back rate. This year they have been mandated to conform to
all the other districts' requirements which include having public hear-
ings and filing documents. The letter from Mr. Devitt is requesting
that the City do that work for them and have the City's Finance Depart-
ment and City ~anager's Office prepare their financial data and have the
City Attorney's Office prepare the notices to be published. He is
bringing this before Council to find out whether or not they wish the
City to do this for the DDA. He has some concern that if the City were
to assist the DDA they could be considered to be not an independent, bu~
potentially, a dependent district and thus could trigger a question as
to whether or not their one millage tax rate should be included in the
City's millage rate.
Mr. Bird recommended that the City Attorney communicate with
the Chairman, Mrs. Tuttle, and (1) ask her what her preference is, (2)
suggest to them that with ¼ million dollars in the bank they can afford
their own clerical help and (3) inform them that their downside liabil-
ity, instead of getting one mill, they will get .91 and that is the
consequence of their actions. He feels that when they form independent
agencies they should act in an independent manner. If staff is to do
the work then they should do it on a reimbursement basis or perhaps the
DDA will find someone who would do it less expensively.
It wa s the consensus of Counc i 1 that they re spond
negatively.
Mayor Campbell asked that they do this in a polite manner so
as not to offend anyone on the DDA.
5.c.2. The City Attorney stated that, regarding Item 25, the offer
to purchase City property has been withdrawn. He has furnished Council
tonight a second proposed contract from a different buyer for a much
lesser figure which is to be considered the offer. He questioned if
Council wishes to consider this tonight or at the next workshop meeting.
- 4 - 7/23/85
Mayor Campbell stated he does not feel it would be ap-
propriate to consider this tonight.
Mr. Jackel stated he would like to see this put on their
next regular meeting. Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City At-
torney advised they would need to approve entering into a contract at a
regular meeting.
The City Attorney stated that if Council thinks they might
want to sell this property any time soon they should place this on the
first workshop agenda in August as they would need to get the appraisal
updated; the last appraisal was done in May of 1984.
Mr. Bird stated, in his recollection, this will be the third
appraisal and he does not feel the comparables have changed any in that
area.
5.d.1. The Acting City Manager thanked Council for their kind
comments, help and support while he served as Acting City Manager.
5.d.2. The Acting City Manager stated the last two items on
tonight's agenda were put there for reference; they are still pending
and Council can decide whether they wish to vote on them after they hear
the report from Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan (Item 7).
6. Mayor Campbell requested that Items 25 and 18 be removed
from the Regular Agenda and that Item 31 be placed as first item on the
Regular Agenda as he has a conflict. Mr. Bird requested that Item 19 be
removed from the Regular Agenda and that Items 11 and 12 be removed from
the Consent Agenda and placed after Item 31 on the Regular Agenda.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the agenda with Items 18, 19
and 25 removed from the Agenda, Item 31 to become the first Item on the
Regular Agenda and Items 11 and 12 removed from the Consent Agenda to
follow Item 31, 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.
7. Report from Post, Buckle¥, Schuh & Jerni~an, Inc.~ - Water
Distribution west of Military Trail.
Mr. Fred Bier¥, Project Manager, stated that in February of
1984 Council entered into a stipulation with the Palm Beach County
Environmental Control Board primarily with respect to the well fields
and the water treatment plant expansion. There were several items of
action which the City had to pursue and undertake; technically, as of
the present time, the City is not in compliance with the stipulation.
Several of the items have been completed, several are under way and the
balance of the items are contemplated and there are actions going on.
The City needs to continue to pursue the items in the stipulation and he
suggested that they go back to the Environmental Control Board to re-
schedule completion dates of the various items.
Mr. Biery made a presentation and outlined how they con-
ducted their study of the water distribution system for west annexation
areas. He advised that the water storage facility in the High Point
area will improve the operating pressures in the northern part of the
City. There are also some minor system improvements which should be
made; once they have been done the existing water distribution system
will have adequate capacity for up to 4,000 additional, equivalent
residential connections, without any additional major capital improve-
ments.
Mayor Campbell advised that Council has no requirement to
give water outside of the City's existing system. They have been utiliz-
ing the delivery of water in a two-fold purpose: (1) trying to gain
control or conformity over areas adjacent to the City with regard to
types of uses and/or planning, setbacks, signage, etc., and (2) possible
enhancement of the City's tax base with already existing or potential
buildings.
- 5 - 7/23/85
Mr. Bird stated the City is mandated by the Federal Govern-
ment to provide sewer service to the E-3 Canal. This causes a problem
with how to bill people who demand sewer service but who do not receive
water; residences within the City are charged for sewer based on a
percentage of their water use.
Mr. Jackel moved that this Council's policy regarding supply-
ing water to the areas west of Military Trail to the E-3 Canal, north to
south boundaries, is that they will be considered affirmatively on a
case by case basis providing the proper water/annexation agreement is
signed by both parties, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; hr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
hs. Care¥ Nevill, Administrator of Hillhaven Convalescent
Center of Delray, stated they do receive City water and experience
extremely low water pressure during peak periods. She has been in
contact with the Director of Public Utilities and has been promised that
it would be taken care of; she would like to see something done about
the pressure west of ~iilitary Trail as soon as possible.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels that they need to have a
letter from the City Manager, corroborated by Mr. Pontek, stating that
the improvements that are contemplated within the next year are going to
adjust any of the problems they have been facing west of Military Trail,
will remedY some of the pressure problems and that they will be pursued
with due diligence by the administration.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

(Copy of Resolution No. 63-85 is on file in the official

- 7 - 7/23/85
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the Consent Agenda as
amended, 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.
REGULAR AGENDA
Mayor Campbell left the Council Chambers at this time due to
a conflict of interest. Vice-Mayor Horenburger took the chair.
31. Extension Request - Le Village De Provence (Phase II).
Council is to consider a request for a 60-day extension (to September
22, 1985) for Le Village De Provence (Phase II), a proposed 88 unit
multi-family project, located east of Barwick Road, between the L-32
Canal and High Point Boulevard West. It is zoned RM-6 (Multiple Family
Dwelling) District and contains 14.7 acres.
Vice-Mayor Horenburger stated it is her understanding that
the Planning and Zoning Board considered this request this morning and
she asked Mr. Kellerman, member of the P&Z Board, what their decision
was. She was informed that the vote was unanimous to approve this exten-
sion.
Mr. Jackel moved to approve the 60-day extension for Le
Village De Provence (Phase II), seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Vice-Mayor Horenburger - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel stated he is willing to grant this extension to
the mortgagee providing that no further work is done; it is his under-
standing that the extra time is being allowed for financial reasons.
Mr. Bird stated he believes they also have a code enforce-
ment problem on the property. He suggested that they ask the petitioner
to clean up the property.
Ms. Susan Walker, attorney representing S&L Realty Trust,
the mortgagee, stated they are undergoing a foreclosure proceeding and
expect to own the property in a very short period of time. They
recently found out that the site plan was due to expire tomorrow, which
is why they are requesting this extension.
Hr. Bird asked if the petitioner would consider abating the
nuisance on the property; the City is willing to help them, if they
consider helping the City with th~ nuisance.
Ms. Walker stated, on behalf of the client, she is sure that
once they own the property they will do everything in their power as
they do not want to be in violation of any codes. Further, her client
is not interested in doing any building during this interim period.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, the City Attorney advised the
City could abate the nuisance then lien the property. However, the
mortgagee's lien would be superior to the City's. Mr. Bird stated he
would not like to put the City in a position of going out and expending
funds to mitigate the mortgagee's problem and then not be reimbursed.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Ms. Walker stated, for the
record, that if the present owner does not take care of the problem, or
if he does not satisfy the lien which the City would have to place, then
her client will cover those costs and reimburse the City.
The City Attorney clarified, for the record, that this
request is only for an extension of time within which to file a request
for an extension; it confers no rights to any such extension they would
have as a future consideration.
- 8 - 7/23/85
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
11. Air Conditioning - Community Center. Council is to consider
award of a contract for air conditioning the Community Center Gymnasium
to the low bidder, Hill York, in the amount of $65,000, with funds to
come from the General Fund Unappropriated fund balance. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Bird stated they keep spending tremendous amounts of
money at the Community Center and he questioned if they have ever gone
through the building definitively and done a structural test.
Mr. Church, City Engineer, stated the building is 25 years
old and they did have an inspection a month ago identifying some of the
deficiencies. There are some major repairs required; however, putting
in the air conditioning seems to be a reasonable improvement. He does
not feel the building is beyond economical repair.
Mr. Bird requested that Mr. Church furnish Council, in their
next agenda package, with some kind of estimate as to what those major
deficiencies are and what kind of money they are looking at expending in
the long term.
Mr. Bird moved to award a contract for air conditioning to
the low bidder, Hill York, in the amount of $65,000, with funds to come
from the General Fund Unappropriated fund balance, seconded by Mr.
Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Vice-Mayor Horenburger - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Council Chambers at this
time.
12. Registration - City Logos or Trademarks. Council is to
consider authorizing the law firm of Steele, Gould & Fried to register
the City's logo and trademarks to assure that no outside agencies or
commercial enterprises make use of the logos or seals without the City's
permission. Charge for the attorney's fees and filing fees would be
$525, with funds to come fr~n the City Council Contingency Fund.
The City Attorney advised this item was placed on the Con-
sent Agenda to get authorization to retain a law firm to register the
City's logo and trademark. They have had a number of inquiries from
people who would like to use the logo on drawings and brochures; they
were told that they would not be permitted to do so and they have com-
plied. However, Palm Beach County is having a problem getting voluntary
Compliance. He felt that one of the methodologies they could utilize in
securing the right of the City to say who can or cannot use the logo
would be to register it as a trademark.
Mr. Bird stated it is his opinion that if the citizens of
Delray Beach would like to grace their businesses it is not an endorse-
ment by the City. He feels this is regulation just for the sake of
regulation and he can find no benefit to be gained.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney advised
they opted to go with the National method of registering a trademark
rather than the State method because the problem Palm Beach County is
having is with a company based in Atlanta.
Mr. Jackel moved to authorize the retention of the law firm
of Steele, Gould & Fried to register the City's logo and trademarks,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Bird - No; Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion FAILED with a 4 to
1 vote.
20. Appointment - Code Enforcement Board. Council is to con-
sider the appointment of an alternate member (Architect) to the Code
Enforcement Board to the unexpired term of Roy Simon, ending January 14,
1987.
- 9 - 7/23/85
Mayor Campbell requested that they pass over this item as
there were no names submitted.
21. Site Plan Approval - The Commons. Council is to consider a
request for site plan approval for The Commons, a proposed 70,330 square
foot general and professional office development, located on the north
side of West Atlantic Avenue, between High Point Boulevard and the

- 10 - 7/23/85
23. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Barwick
Road Baptist Church. Council is to consider an appeal of the CAB deci-
sion regarding church sign.
Reverend Ralph Nygard, Barwick Road Baptist Church, advised
they built their sign according to the City's codes; however, when they
received the lettering they did not fit. They rearranged the letters
and resubmitted the finished product to the CAB who denied the petition
as they felt the letters did not look good as they had placed them.
Mayor Campbell stated he cannot see anything wrong with the
sign and questioned what the problem was.
Mrs. Elaine Roberts, member of the CAB, advised the approval
was not given because the sign was not built according to what was
approved.
Mr. Bird stated that they have some rules in the City and
when it became apparent that the Church could not follow them that would
have been the time to go back to the CAB and ask what could be done. He
feels the frustration felt by the CAB is that people go out and satisfy
their requirements and then come back to the Board. If the City asks an
advisory board to review plans or signs then they should be allowed to
do so.
Mayor Campbell stated that, ultimately, he would disagree
with Mr. Bird. They are not trying to adhere to a ritualistic code but
they do want good taste in the City; there is nothing wrong with the
sign which was resubmitted. If they felt that the Church tried to
circumvent the rules intentionally, he would agree that the City ought
to hold them responsible and liable. He would urge that they not get
tied down in something as ridiculous as intent but go ahead, look at the
sign and get it approved.
Mr. Jackel moved to approve the sign as it now stands,
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.
24. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Goldcoast
Development. Council is to consider an appeal of the CAB decision
regarding color coordination at the Inlet Cove (AKA Waterway North II),
1111 N.E. 8th Street.
Mr. Jeff Brown, representing Goldcoast Development, advised
that in 1984 his client went before the CAB with architectural plans and
color samples which were approved. They were later asked to reappear
before the Board as a neighbor had complained about the color and at
that meeting they were denied.
Mayor Campbell questioned why this item was brought back
before the CAB as it is not their legal position to revisit an item once
they have granted approval.
Mrs. Elaine Roberts, member of the CAB, advised she believes
this item was brought back because of the complaint about the colors; to
match them with the approval would have been the way of informing the
newer members of the Board what they were in the first place. However,
the Building Department lost the color samples so they do not know if
the colors on the building are compatible with the approval.
Mrs. Alice Finst, member of the CAB, advised that in 1982
when the site plan was first approved the building was to be compatible
with the adjacent building. However, there is nothing on the tapes of
the meeting, in the minutes, or on the plans to indicate what the ap-
proved colors were.
Mr. Brown advised the City's Code and the application for
site plan approval require that exterior color samples be submitted. The
Building Department lost those color samples which were attached to a
brochure.
11 - 7/23/85
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Mrs. Horenburger clarified that
the brochure was the developer's brochure with the color samples at-
tached to the back and they were somehow lost.
Mayor Campbell stated there are two issues: (1) whether they
should be considering an appeal at all or (2) if it is legal, then
whether or not Council wishes to reverse the decision. They cannot
consider the second issue until they determine that the Board was prop-
erly sitting in reconsidering the item. He feels there has been some
fault on the part of the City but there may also be some ligitimate
questions as to whether or not the applicant complied. If they did not
paint according to whatever was submitted, should this go back to CAB or
go to the Code Enforcement Board.
The City Attorney advised it is his understanding that there
was an allegation made that the painting being done on the property was
not in accordance with the approved color scheme. The forum for that
sort of hearing really should be Code Enforcement Board; it should not
have been a re-review by the CAB unless the City made an error or there
was some sort of fraud perpetrated upon the Board when they made their
decision.
The City Attorney suggested that Council, by motion, re-
instate the previous approval of the color scheme by the Community
Appearance Board as it was approved in September, 1984, and direct the
City Administration to look into whether or not the colors as they are
being applied to the building currently are in accordance with that
approval; if they are not, they should pursue it through the Code
Enforcement Board forum. Also, that such an action should not be con-
strued to be a waiver of the City's rights to pursue enforcement in that
forur~ over the issue of proper application of the approved color scheme.
Mr. Jackel stated he cannot understand how the City, or
anyone, can deny this developer what he is requesting when they do not
have the samples and they must take the developer's word.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to reinstate the approval as advised
by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor C~L~pbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
26. Conditional Use Approval - Corporate Tech Center Office
Building. Council is to consider a request for conditional use approval
for Corporate Tech Center Office Building, a proposed 43,250-square foot
office development, located at the northeast corner of Congress Avenue
and the C-15 Canal. This was approved 5-0 by the Planning and Zoning
Board.
Mr. Bird stated that at the moment there is a thorough study
being taken by Kimley-Horn of this entire area. While office use is a
conditional use under Light Industrial, from a traffic standpoint it is
a considerably increased traffic flow use. Also, they have not yet
identified the formulas which will determine the amount of land use in
the various zoning categories. These are questions which are presently
under discussion and for this reason he would prefer to see this item
come back before Council once they have some answers.
Mr. Sam Cracchiola, applicant, advised they originally
appeared before the City six months ago; they worked with the Community
Appearance Board and received approval from the other Boards. The LI
district recently added office space as a conditional use and they felt
it would be a good idea to upgrade the property to an office use from a
light industrial use.
Mr. Bird stated he is not disagreeing with the use being
proposed, he is disagreeing with the timing. He is uncomfortable with
entertaining this request at this time as he would rather have the
additional information which will be available in a few months. They
will then be able to evaluate this request against those standards which
will become the community standards of the future.
- 12 - 7/23/85
Mrs. Horenburger stated she does not understand why they are
taking this position on this request; it is not a rezoning request and
Mr. Cracchiola could apparently build a similar size building for
another use under his current zoning.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Mr. Cracchiola advised
the building will be mostly for office use; however, some of the uses
they anticipate putting in would come under LI zoning.
Mayor Campbell stated Council voted last week to withhold
consideration of changes in intensity until there have been some further
studies made in the City. From his perspective, there is a question as
to whether or not this does actually oppose a change in that use.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to postpone consideration of this
item to their Regular Meeting of August 27th on the basis of insuf-
ficient information, 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.
Mr. Jackel left the Council Chambers at this time.
27. Beach Concession A~reement. Council is to consider authoriz-
ing execution of a three-year lease/concession agreement to June 1988
between the City and John's Beach Service, the only bidder.
Mrs. Horenburger requested that the City Attorney include in
the agreement some comment that the storage boxes on the beach be main-
tained properly.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize execution of a three-year lease/
concession agreement to June 1988 between the City and John's Beach
Service, subject to the addition in the contract as requested by Mrs.
Horenburger, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
28. Final Plat Approval - Southrid~e Village Condominium.
Council is to consider a request for final plat approval for Southridge
Village Condominium, a proposed 35 unit multiple family project, located
on the north side of Linton Boulevard, between S.W. 8th Avenue and S.W.
10th Avenue, if extended north. This was approved 7-0 by the Planning
and Zoning Board, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Construct S.W. 10th Avenue as a public road from
Linton Boulevard to Southridge Road or make a
contribution toward the construction of S.W.
10th Avenue as outlined in the agreement. This
will require a county permit and will be done to
the County's specification (plans have been
drawn for the work). Specifications include 20
foot asphalt road; 2 foot curb and gutter each
side; 4 foot sidewalks each side; and positive
drainage by 24 inches R.C.P. to and across
Linton Boulevard.
(2) Repair Southridge Road from S.W. 10th Avenue to
the reconstruction segment on S.W. 8th Avenue as
detailed in A.M. Abdullah's report dated
November 21, 1983.
(3) Modify the signal at S.W. 10th Avenue and Linton
Boulevard to add a north face.
The City Attorney advised the motion to approve also in-
cludes approval of the agreement which is required as part of the con-
ditions.
Mr. Bird moved for final plat approval for Southridge Vil-
lage Condominium, subject to the conditions in the July 17, 1985 mem-
orandum, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

consider a request from Mr. Norman Bender, President of Lanikai Villas
to permit Robertson Roofing Company, Inc., to use two parking spaces and
a portion of the entrance to Anchor Park for six weeks for a crane to
re-roof the Lanikai Villas.
Mr. Bird moved to approve, subject to entering into an
agreement, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor C~]pbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
30. Easement Deed - Water Storage Tank. Council is to consider
a~thorizing acceptance of an easement deed from Tadeuz Sendzimir in the
amount of $14,500 relative to the water storage tank. Approval is
recommended.
The City Attorney advised this item is before Council for
them to accept four separate easement deeds from Mr. Sendzimir and to
pay for that easement deed in the amount of $14,500. For the record,
the City Attorney stated this is well within the estimated appraisal
value of the easement.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the easement deed, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Jackel returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
32. Ordinance No. 71-85 - Amendin~ Code - Alcoholic Beverages.
Ordinance No. 71-85, amending Chapter 3, "Alcoholic Beverages" of the
Code of Ordinances relative to the areas and locations of restaurants
where sales of alcoholic beverages are permitted, is before Council for
consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held
August 13th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 71-85:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 3, "ALCOHOLIC BEV-
ERAGES", SECTION 3-4, "AREAS AND LOCATIONS WHERE SALES
PERMITTED", BY DELETING THE RESTRICTIONS TO THE RES-
TAURANT EXCEPTION ON LOCATION RESTRICTIONS BY DELETING
THE RESTRICTION ON RESTAURANTS ONLY BEING PERMITTED TO
SERVE BEER AND WINE; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING
A GENERAL REPEALER; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
71-85 on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Bird questioned, with regard to Mr. Simon's project, if
he were to have a tavern as a proposed use would he be able to have one
since the patio across the street has a bar or would the tavern have to
have fifty chairs in it and be a restaurant. The City Attorney advised
it would have to be associated with a restaurant although there would be
no problem with having the rooms divided in some manner. Mr. Bird
stated he understands they are trying to make an improvement; however,
he is not sure that this ordinance is the answer to what they are trying
to accomplish.
Following discussion, Mayor Campbell questioned if it is the
intent of Council to primarily regulate bars. It was the consensus of
Council that this is their intent.
Mr. Bird suggested that in Section 1. of the Ordinance they
strike out "with a minimum of fifty (50) seats". With that amendment
you would have to be a restaurant that offers meal service to tables as
opposed to a take-out.
14 - 7/23/85
The City Attorney advised he could amend the caption to
reflect the changes as suggested by Mr. Bird.
The City Attorney read the amended caption of the ordinance.

Eisen annexation, for property located at the northwest corner of Linton
Boulevard and S.W. 4th Avenue, be postponed until the Regular Meeting of
August 27th. He does not feel this decision is one of such immediacy
that it needs to be done until they receive the information from the
Land Use Advisory Committee.

the Regular Meeting of August 27th, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes;

where a large one might be. He suggested that, before second reading,
they may look at limiting the floor space.

39. Water Service Agreement - Polo Plaza. Council is to con-
sider execution of a water service agreement for Polo Plaza, a proposed
152,650 square foot specialty retail shopping center and offices,
located on the west side of Military Trail, approximately one-quarter
mile south of Linton Boulevard.
5~ayor Campbell stated they have now heard the report from
Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan regarding water service west of Military
Trail. It was specifically determined that they would delay considera-
tion of this request until that report and it would now be appropriate
to make a decision.
Mr. Jackel moved that they approve the water/annexation
agreement between Polo Plaza and the City of Delray Beach, effective on
completion date, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird suggested an amendment to the motion which would
require that the petitioner share in the pro rata cost of the improve-
ments which are required as part of the Post Buckley study in order for
the City to grant the approval.
- 16 - 7/23/85
The Acting City Manager advised that when this was brought
before Council on June 3rd it was the consensus of the P&Z Board that
condition 12 of the water service agreement be modified to require that
conformance with the City's code take place at such time as the property
is annexed into the City.
~.,ayor Campbell stated rather than do it that way they could
add to the motion that where there is no conflict between the current
County and City Codes and the petitioner can comply, that they should go
ahead and make him comply; he would not like to put any undue hardship
on the petitioner where there is a problem, they do need to pull a
permit and by complying with the City code they are not in compliance
with the County.
Mr. Jackel amended his motion as suggested by Mr. Bird and
~layor Campbell, Mr. Bird 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
mith a 5 to 0 vote.

consider execution of water service agreement for the Charter Building,

request for water service annexation agreement with the same stipulation
for a pro rata contribution to the cost, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird- Yes; Mrs. Horenburger-
Yes; ~r. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon- Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, Mayor Campbell stated it should also be
understood that when there are replacements or changes to be done that
they will comply with the City Code when possible. In other words, if
they are going to change their sign, the City would want them to comply
with the City's Sign Code now -- get a smaller sign out there.
Mr. Jackel suggested that the City Manager address a letter
to the County Commission stating that this Council is helping out the
County Health Department by supplying water service to the Charter
Building. In return they would hope, in the spirit of cooperation, the
Commission could help this Council with the Billboard Resolution (Item
i7).
Mayor Campbell requested that when the Acting City Manager
forwards the resolution, as passed, that in a cover letter he put the
comments as indicated by Mr. Jackel.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
~ayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:22 P.M.
