passed unanimously.
5.a.1. Mrs. Jeanette Slavin, Rainberry Bay, spoke in regard to the
condition of the bicycle path along Lake Ida Road, noting that it disap-
pears intermittently and is in need of repair. She asked Council to
consider having a line item of $25,000 in this year's budget to put in a
bike path continutation based on 50/50 funding with the County; this
will provide them with a bike path in good condition that goes from West
Delray Beach to A1A.
5.a.2. Mr. Mark Stowe, 30 N.W. llth Street, read the following
letter from the Chamber of Commerce into the record:
"Dear 5]ayor and City Council,
The 1984 Delray Affair was by all standards the best ever. We
owe a great deal of thanks to the many individuals who made it
so. First and foremost w~ would like to express our sincere
thanks to members of the City Council for granting not only your
endorsement, participation and support, but also allowing the
generous use of the Adult Recreation Center for the wine and
cheese event. This event raised several thousand dollars for the
badly needed new holiday street decorations on Atlantic Avenue.
Also we wish to commend the City Manager and staff members who
were most helpful throughout the event. It is through this
cooperative effort that the Delray Affair has grown to be one of
the biggest and best events in South Florida."
Mayor Campbell complimented the Chamber of Commerce for a
very fine event and recognized Connie Tuttle and Paulette Burton for
their contribution to the Delray Affair.
5.a.3. Mr. Ray Bender, 102 N.E. 17th Street, spoke in regard to the
City's Code Enforcement policy. He requested that the City policy be
changed back so that the Code Enforcement Officers would act on a com-
plaint only basis and not at their own discretion.
Mayor Campbell advised that they are seriously looking into
the Code Enforcment area with regard to the procedural implementation of
ordinances and the need for officers and what they will be doing.
5.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon reported that after paying the expenditures
incurred, his campaign account had a balance of $607.47. He and his
committee decided to divide the money among two non-profit organizations
whose work help the City; $303.00 for the Delray Beach Voters League
and $304.47 for the Community Chest. He added that the Community Chest
portion is to be used to help fund the newly formed after school program
in Delray Beach.
5.b.2. Mr. Weatherspoon reported that last Saturday, on behalf of
the Mayor and the City, he received a plague and flag in regard to
Delray Beach being named "Tree City, USA". He presented these items to
Council and the audience.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger reported on her trip to Tallahassee and
Senate Bill #948 regarding the 8th Street Bridge. She confirmed that
they are going to ask Senator Johnson to pull that bill before the
Deputy Secretary of the Department of Transportation can submit a nega-
tive report to the Transportation Committee. Further, the bill was
going to move and there is no point in their pursuing that avenue; they
have some other avenues to look into.
5.b.4. Mrs. Horenburger moved to appoint Mayor Campbell to the
Metropolitan Planning Organization, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Mayor Campbell stated that the 8th Street Bridge is of
particular concern to him. He has spoken to the City Manager about this
and one of the eventualities they may have to look at is the fact that
the City could end up with this bridge, the cost of maintenance of which
is running $8,000 a month. They are going to have to try to raise some
funds if they get stuck with it and he suggests they look into a bond
issue and let the people of Delray vote on whether they echo the wishes
of the State and the County, i.e., that they do not need the bridge.
Mayor Campbell asked that the City Manager and City Attorney look into
the preliminary steps to undertake consideration of such a bond issue.
Mr. Bird suggested that, if they follow through on the
Mayor's suggestion, the appropriate time to have such an election would
be in November, when a greater portion of the bridge users might be in
attendance.
Mr. Bird advised that they have the alert from the Florida
DOT concerning quantitative criteria for the evaluation of functional
classifications of public roads. He suggested that Council direct the
Administration to send their most persuasive lobbyists and that they as
a Council and the City Administration be represented at the meeting to
be held on Wednesday, May 23 at 10 AM at the West Palm Beach Courthouse.
Mayor Campbell suggested that the citizenry attend this meeting as well.
5.b.5. Mr. Jackel referred to a letter dated April 23rd which he
received from Alexander Simon, Jr., Chairman of the Coordinating Coun-
cil, which deals with the beautification of the City, mainly City cor-
ridors. Mr. Jackel read the following portion of the letter:
"%;e are concerned about the effect of County pockets being deve-
loped having obtained an annexation/utility agreement with the
City of Delray Beach. It is felt that those developments that
would be annexed be developed and constructed under certain City
requirements. At the time a given parcel of land has been ap-
proved for a water service/annexation agreement with the City for
subsequent annexation, it is the Council's feeling and we so urge
City Council, that those developments be required to obtain
approvals from the City for landscaping, setback requirements,
materials, height and colors. The City should have the right to
approve of those improvements before they are constructed."
Mr. Jackel added that he is in agreement with Mr. Simon's
comments and suggests they make a motion to that effect or put this item
on next week's workshop agenda.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this item for
next week's workshop meeting.
- 2 - 05/08/84
5.b.6. Mayor Campbell presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
May 20, 1984 as "Jubilee Day" and the week beginning May 13, 1984 as
"Jubilee Week". Mr. Spencer Pompey came forward to accept the proclama-
tion.
5.c.1. The City Attorney stated that regarding Item 17 of the
Consent Agenda, a new draft of Resolution No. 39-84, relative to the
Enterprise Zone, has been distributed to Council; this draft gives a
more accurate description of the geographic area and the new draft
should be incorporated into Council's motion.
Further, Ordinance No. 31-84 which is on the agenda as Item
#27 has been split so there are two separate ordinances, Ord. No. 31-84
and the new one, Ord. No. 37-84. He requests that they add Ord. No.
37-84 on First Reading to be Item 27a on the agenda.
The City Attorney requested that Item #12, Richard Block
Property, be moved from the Consent Agenda to the Regular Agenda.
Further, that under Item #19 of the Consent Agenda, the motion to adopt
Resolution No. 41-84 be subject to those five conditions set forth in
the May 1st letter from his office to David Baker who represents Fair-
banks Cable.
5.c.2. The City Attorney reported that they are in the process of
renegotiating the franchise agreement with Southern Bell. The central
issue is whether or not they should request from Southern Bell a fran-
chise fee this year vs. getting a discount on the City's phone bill
which is what they have had in the past. They are looking for guidance
from Council as to which way they want to negotiate.
It was the consensus of Council to put this on the workshop
agenda for next week.
5.c.3. The City Attorney reported that Council has been provided
with Ordinance No. 36-84 which they may want to consider this evening on
First Reading. It is the ordinance which increases the water rates and
it is his understanding that the rates are increased 15% across the
board on the capacity charges. He suggested that Council add this to
the agenda as Item #32.
5.c.4. The City Attorney reported that Resolution No. 42-84, the
budget amendment reflecting the increased revenues in the amount of
about $75,000 from Federal Revenue Sharing, has been distributed to
Council. Council may want to add this item to the agenda as Item 33.
Mayor Campbell suggested they put this item on the Consent
Agenda as Item 19a. Council concurred.
5.c.5. The City Attorney reported that this item involves a nui-
sance abatement lien for lot mowing. The City did some lot mowing for
Lake Ida Manor and the expenses incurred were $1,300 for the lot mowing
with the additional administrative fee per lot for a total of about
$3,600. Unfortunately, the current property owner was not the owner at
the time the abatement procedure was commenced; therefore, the closing
occurred prior to any lien being filed. Because of their concern over
the enforcement of that lien, they have negotiated with the new owner
who has agreed to reimburse the City for its out of pocket expenses plus
the adminstrative fees for the single filing plus the filing fees in the
amount of $1,358.10.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the negotiated settlement, seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.d.1. The City Manager reported that an action taken earlier
relative to the restaurant operations at the golf course requires Coun-
cil endorsement. The operators have requested that they be allowed to
close on Monday since there had been $4.00 taken in at 1:00 P.M. on
Monday. The Administration agreed that it would be a good idea to allow
them to close on Mondays at least until the end of September.
Mr. Bird moved to endorse the Administration's position,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 3 - 05/08/84
5.d.2. The City Manager stated that at the last workshop Council
made a request regarding the attendance of City Board and Committee
members. An attendance roster has been prepared and distributed to
Council for review.
5.d.3. The City Manager stated that they have a trailer behind City
Hall which they have attempted to sell. They have yet to receive a
price that Council is agreeable to. Presently they are looking at
readvertising and are recommending that this trailer also be placed in
their City auction.
5.d.4. The City Manager reported that several months ago Council
instructed staff to secure proposals once they received architectural
specifications for the pavillion at the beach. They have received three
proposals ranging from a low of $28,500 to a high of $32,740.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this at the next
workshop meeting.
5.d.5. The City Manager reported Council should have received a
memorandum regarding the Water & Sewer Bond Issue financing. A large
committee, including himself, the City Attorney, the Assistant City At-
torney, the Finance Director, the Utilities Director, Bond Counsel from
New York, Fiscal Advisor, the Underwriter, which Council selected, and
their Engineering Consultant, met and went over a series of options
available. The Committee's recommendation is to look at Option #2, the
issuance of new money bonds and the refunding bonds together; this
provides them with enough flexibility.
Mr. Stanley Ross concurred with the City Manager's comments.
Regarding Option #2, he added that when they do it all at one time there
is no additional cost for the refunding.
Mr. Bird moved to formally accept Option #2 and to instruct
staff to proceed, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
5.d.6. The City Manager reported that he will soon be presenting
Council with a date for the dedication of City Hall.
5.d.7. The City Manager reminded Council and Board members to be
prepared for tomorrow night's softball game.
5.d.8. The City Manager reported that they have received an offer
of $8,000 for the purchase of property, Lots 19 and 20, Block B, West-
side Heights, located on N.W. 8th Avenue. If Council is interested in
accepting the offer, the Administration suggests that Council authorize
a reappraisal of the property.
It was the consensus of Council to get an updated appraisal.
Upon the request of Council, Mr. Willard Young agreed to
prepare an update on the existing appraisal and to have it ready for
Council at their next workshop meeting.
5.b.7. Mayor Campbell asked for an update on the deterioration of
the dunes, the general condition of the beachfront and to what degree
reconditioning might be necessary and the cost. Secondly, they need to
look at some type of control of the beach area. He asked the City
Manager to look into these items and report back to Council.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel regarding Item 9, the City
Attorney advised that he has some optional language to distribute to
Council on Section 5, which is the effective date language. Council can
phrase the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 29-84 on Second and FINAL
Reading in the proper manner when they get to it.
- 4 - 05/08/84
6. Mr. Bird moved for agenda approval subject to the new draft
of Resolution No. 39-84 (Item 17), the addition of Item 27a, Ordinance
No. 37-84 on First Reading, the removal of Item 12 from the Consent
Agenda to be the first order of business on the Regular Agenda, Item 19
to be approved subject to the five conditions outlined in the City
Attorney's letter of May 1st, the addition of Item 32, Ordinance No.
36-84 on First Reading, and the addition of Item 19a, Resolution No.
42-84, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Mr. Weatherspoon requested that Item 31, Ordinance No. 35-84
on First Reading, be moved forward to be the first item of business on
the Regular Agenda. Mr. Bird noted that the revised Regular Agenda will
then read 31, 12, 20.
Mr. Bird amended the motion as requested, seconded by Mr.
Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bird left the Council Chambers at this time.

- 6 - 05/08/84
The public hearing was closed.
The City Attorney stated that on First Reading the motion
was to approve the ordinance on First Reading subject to the effec-
tiveness being cleared by the Attorney General's Office. A question
also arose as to the effectiveness from a technical standpoint, i.e.,
because they do not know when that AGO opinion will come back.
The City Attorney presented three alternatives: (1) making
the effectiveness subject to AGO permission; (2) adding language so that
the ordinance would not become applicable until after the effective date
and, in any event, would not apply to single family, duplex, hotels or
motels who had pulled all their necessary building permits prior to the
effective date; and (3) combining #1 and #2 above.
Mr. Bird stated that at the time he suggested they get the
AGO opinion, it was his understanding that this ordinance would not go
into being until January 1, 1985, as mentioned by Mr. Ennis, which
leaves adequate time for them to get a response from the AGO. Upon
question by Mrs. Horenburger, the City Attorney advised that the origi-
nal motion was that the ordinance was adopted on First Reading with the
effectiveness to be subject to receiving an affirmative response from
the AGO that the ordinance, as written, would be permissable in light of
the provisions set forth in Chapter 553 Part 5, Handicapped Access
Statutes. Mr. Bird noted that before they did not specify when it
started and under what terms so it was unclear to the developer. Upon
question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney advised that Alternative
#2 only clarifies the applicability.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 29-84
on Second and FINAL Reading incorporating the original motion on First
Reading plus Alternative #2, seconded by Mr. Bird. 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.
Jackel stated that two years ago he brought up a motion regarding addi-
tional beach parking for handicapped people along A1A; it was turned
down by a previous Council. Last year he made a motion regarding an
automatic door in City Hall; that was also turned down by a previous
Council. The ordinance before them tonight is a good one. They do not
require the Attorney General's opinion when they pass other ordinances
and he questions why they are doing it in this case. He noted that the
County Commission passed a similar ordinance without waiting for an
opinion; the County was not concerned about the AG opinion of 1980. Mr.
Jackel also questioned why they are so concerned about building permits.
He intends to vote against the motion on the floor because he feels the
attachments to the motion are needless delaying tactics. He urges
Council to defeat this motion and to pass the ordinance as written
without any additions effective January 1, 1985.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that having spoken to the Attorney
General's office about this last week, she feels they will receive a
response within weeks, not months. Further, she feels it cannot hurt to
get this opinion and have a clear and current view. The County's ordi-
nance does not go into effect until January 1985 and she is sure they
will have an AG response by then and their ordinance will be going into
effect by that time.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

REGULAR AGENDA
31. Ordinance No. 35-84 - Zonin~ Ordinance Amendment - Definition
of Family. Ordinance No. 35-84, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the
Code of Ordinances to modify the definition of family, is before Council
for consideration on First Reading. If passed, a Public Hearing will be
held on May 22nd.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 35-84:
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 30-1, "DEFINITIONS", SUBSECTION 33,
"FAMILY", TO MODIFY THE DEFINITION OF "FAMILY" TO MEAN
THAT THE NUMBER OF PERSONS OCCUPYING A SINGLE DWELLING
UNIT SHALL CONTAIN NO MORE THAN THREE ADULTS IN THE TOTAL
OF FIVE UNRELATED PERSONS PERMITTED PER "FAMILY" AND TO
EXCLUDE FOSTER CHILDREN FROM SAID LIMITATIONS; PROVIDING
A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
- 10 - 05/08/84
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Jackel questioned whether a single family dwelling would
include an organization such as The Haven or The South County Drug Abuse
Center. Mrs. Horenburger stated that those are board and care homes,
not single family dwelling units. Mr. Jackel stated that there are some
single family homes occupied by unrelated adults who are undergoing
psychological treatment; he questions this. Mayor Campbell stated that
they are not single family and they have to have conditional use ap-
proval, hrs. Horenburger added that there is legislation being proposed
at the State level regarding an overview of municipality zoning codes in
order to provide the type of housing Mr. Jackel is talking about and to
overstep local zoning codes for that kind of use. She does not think
they have a problem in that particular area as the Single Family zoning
code provides for conditional use for educational type facilities. She
feels this particular ordinance is a tool they can use to keep and
preserve the nature of their single family dwelling districts.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he supports the concept of the
ordinance; however, a reduction from five to three adults concerns him.
Over the last three to four years, they have only had four reported
cases of this. Acknowledging the fact that there are some homes with
more than three unrelated adults living in them, those people are not
living that way because they would like to be. They have a housing
shortage in Delray Beach, especially in the black community. Further,
he questions the enforcability of this ordinance.
Mr. Campbell stated that he believes this ordinance is in
the best interest of the community. Although it may not be fully en-
forcable at this time, he does not feel that is necessarily a reason to
diminish its importance.
The City Attorney advised Council that they have some con-
cerns over the ability to have this kind of ordinance withstand a con-
stitutional attack because of the allegations of invasion of privacy.
Most Court cases have upheld ordinances of this nature; however, there
is one case out of California that struck an ordinance of five unrelated
persons on the basis of a privacy amendment that they have in their
State Constitution which is very close to the privacy amendment Florida
has in its State Constitution. Secondly, a subject for concern is what
they will do about those people who currently have five adults in a
single family house after the effective date of this ordinance; will
they become a nonconforming use and can they continue to live in that
manner until the use expires, the same as other non-conforming uses
expire. The question that will come up is "what constitutes the non-
conformity", the actual number of individuals or the exact indivuals who
lived there at the time this became effective. This question may have
to be addressed in the future.
Upon question by Mr. Alfred Straghn, the City Attorney
advised that in the past the ordinance has been enforced on a complaint
only basis.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
35-84 on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 3 to 2 vote.
12. Richard Block Property. Council is to consider acceptance
of the Richard Block property donation deed.
The City Attorney stated that Council directed his office to
negotiate with Mr. Block's attorney some of the conditions which were
set forth in the prior deed which they had concerns about. Mr. Block
and his attorney have agreed to the following: to delete the ingress/
egress restriction restricting it only to our employees; to delete the
restriction which meant ingress/egress only over the currently existing
bridge; to delete the reference to the municipal golf course being just
that it is City property currently; to the reference that if the City
fails to use or operate the golf course on the westerly parcel of prop-
erty that it would revert back. The City Attorney advised that the deed
- 11 - 05~08~84
would now be a fee-simple transfer to the City with two conditions: (1)
that ingress and egress to the property be only from the westerly tract;
i.e. the golf course side, not from Congress Avenue; and (2) there is a
reverter provision in the deed which says that should the City ever not
use the property for a public purpose or purposes then at that time it
would revert back to the grantors. These conditions do not concern him
from a legal standpoint, only from a policy standpoint.
The City Attorney further stated that he was asked to check
with neighboring cities regarding the reverter phrase. The City Attor-
ney of Boca Raton has confirmed that Boca recently took some property
subject to it being used for municipal park purposes, so there is some
precedent for acceptance of deeds of that nature. If this is accept-
able, a motion to accept the deed in this form would be proper at this
time. His office will then send it to Mr. Block to be executed and
bring it back to Council for final authorization.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the deed in this form, seconded by
Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
20. Appointments - Internal Audit Committee. Council is to
consider the appointments of David Nathanson and Paul Friedman as regu-
lar members of the Internal Audit Committee to terms ending April 27,
1986.
Mr. Jackel moved to appoint Mr. Nathanson and Mr. Friedman
as regular members of the Internal Audit Committee to terms ending April
27, 1986, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird noted that there are some vacant alternate posi-
tions on that board and he would like to add the name of former Mayor
Willard Young to be considered for one of those positions if he is
willing.
Mr. Jackel amended his motion to include the appointment of
Mr. Young as an alternate member of the IAC to a term expiring April 27,
1986, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
21. Appointments - Board of Adjustment. Council is to consider
appointments of two alternate members to the Board of Adjustment to
terms ending March 15, 1985 and March 15, 1986.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to appoint Mr. Steven Rubin and Mr.
Sid Soloway to the two alternate positions, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said
motion passed unanimously.
22. South County Dru~ Rehabilitation Center. Council is to
consider appropriating $6,000 for the South County Drug Rehabilitation
Center, with funds to come from Federal Revenue Sharing.
Mr. Bird moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Said motion passed unanimously.
23. City Hall Parkin~ Lot. Council is to consider appropriating
$25,000 for the City Hall parking lot, with funds to come from Federal
Revenue Sharing.
Mr. Bird moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horen-
burger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell -
No. Said motion FAILED with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call, Mayor Campbell stated that he is not in
favor of this at this time. He thought they were going to try to limit
consideration of City Hall parking expansion to the $50,000 as was
allocated instead of invading their Federal Revenue Sharing with an
additional $25,000.
- 12 - 05/08/84
Mr. Bird stated that his understanding was that they did not
want to invade the resurfacing funds and this funding would avoid that
problem. Mr. Campbell stated that he does not want to invade any funds;
he wants to stay within the $50,000 limitation and suggests they have
Mr. Church draw up an appropriate plan within the $50,000 amount.
Further Council discussion was had at this time. Mr. Jackel suggested
they ask Mr. Church to submit two or three plans at workshop next week
for discussion.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this item at next
week's workshop meeting.
24. Type of Vehicles - Fire Department. Council is to consider
whether they need to change the type of vehicles being used in the Fire
Department to go from the present two vehicles per call with EMS and
pumper to one vehicle with three or four people (being a combination
vehicle).
Mayor Campbell advised that Chief Jackson had recommended
against making any changes in the type of vehicles being used.
Mr. Jackel moved to approve Chief Jackson's recommendation
to keep the two vehicles per call with EMS and pumper, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, the City Manager stated that if this
motion passes, he would like to direct the Fire Chief to look at alter-
natives as they move through the phase out process. It's most feasible
to keep it the way it is at this time; however, this equipment will have
to be phased out over a period of time. In the near future they will
have to look at what kind of capital program they will have for replace-
ment of vehicles or more cost effective operations.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
25. Personnel - Fire Department. Council is to consider ap-
proval of six additional personnel for the Fire Department needed in
order to round out a full shift because of excessive overtime and loss
of time due to Kelley days.
Upon comment by Mr. Jackel, Mayor Campbell advised that they
are appropriating money already in the budget for the remainder of the
current year.
Mr. Jackel moved for approval of six additional personnel
for the fire department, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird suggested they direct the City
Manager to go back and relook at the alternatives. Mayor Campbell asked
the City Manager to look into what is being done elsewhere with regard
to the number of personnel and alternate services.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
26. Ordinance No. 30-84 - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Professional
Offices within the RM-15 Zoning District. Ordinance No. 30-84, amending
Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances to allow professional
office uses as currently allowed in the RM-10 (Multiple Family Dwelling)
District, is before Council for consideration on First Reading. If
passed, Public Hearing will held on May 22nd.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 30-84:

ING DISTRICT; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN

Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
27. Ordinance No. 31-84 - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Townhouses
and Townhouse Developments. Ordinance No. 31-84, amending Chapter 30
"Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances to revise the townhouse regulations
to make them more flexible in terms of the property that can be con-
veyed, is before Council for consideration on First Reading. If passed,
Public Hearing will be held on May 22nd.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 31-84:
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 30-1, "DEFINITIONS",

ING SUBSECTION (89) TO CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF
T~NHOUSE TO REQUIRE THAT SUCH "TOWNHOUSES" BE CON-
VEYED ALONG WITH THE LOT OCCUPIED BY THE DWELLING
UNIT; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFEC-
TIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 31-84 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 City Attorney asked the purpose of the
modification to the townhouse definition; is it the intention of Council
to require that townhouses be conveyed with fee-simple ownership of the
lot or, in order to qualify as being a townhouse, does the lot have to
be conveyed along with the unit. Mr. McDaniel, Planning Director,
replied that the latter is correct according to the Chief Building
Official's interpretation. If a townhouse does not have property con-
veyed along with it, it is an apartment. They are asking that their
townhouse regulations be made a little more flexible so that people can
buy and sell property along with their multiple family unit.
The City Attorney stated, that being the case, he has some
concern about their legal ability to adopt this particular ordinance.
Mayor Campbell asked the City Attorney to investigate his concern and
get back to them at workshop, for discussion between First and Second
Reading.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 36-84:

BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 29, "WATER AND SEWERS",
ARTICLE II, "WATER SERVICE", DIVISION 1, "GENERALLY", OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 29-18, "RATES", SUBSECTION

FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS, BOTH
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CITY, BASED UPON CERTAIN CUSTOMER
CAPACITY AND COMMODITY CHARGES TO INCREASE SAID CAPACITY
CHARGES; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFEC-
TIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 36-84 on
First Reading, 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: Upon
question by Mr. Jackel, the City Attorney advised that this ordinance
changes the capacity charges, not commodity charges. Upon further
question, he advised that to his knowledge this change will give them
sufficient funds to take care of their new bond issue. Mr. Jackel
questioned how a 15% increase in the capacity charge will take care of
it.
Mr. Huddleston, Finance Director, explained that this ordi-
nance calls for a raise of $3.48 per month for each individual unit on a
residential unit. Actually, it is more than a 15% increase in capacity
but it amounts to a 15% increase in your total bill.
- 16 - 05/08/84
Mr. Jackel noted that he has been plagued by citizen com-
plaints regarding the capacity charge; for example, those people who
leave the City for six months come back and are faced with a large bill
and they have not used any water. Adoption of this ordinance would seem
to compound the problem.
Mr. Bird stated that they are building capacity because they
must reserve that space in the sewer plant for those people whether they
are here or not. The cost involved in maintaining that space should be
borne by all of them with regard to what portion of the plant they put a
demand on, whether the demand is for one week, one month or the entire
year. Mr. Jackel stated that they seem to be penalizing people who live
here now as well as the future homeowners. Mr. Bird stated that they
are changing connection fees to balance that load appropriately; fur-
ther, they indeed are direct contributors to part of the problem which
is going to be resolved by the bond issue. Mr. Jackel stated that he
understands the need to increase the fees but feels it is not being done
equitably.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
19a. The City Attorney stated that he does not have his Statutes
with him; however, for Resolution No. 42-84, which was adopted as Con-
sent Agenda Item #19A, they may need to have read the caption of the
resolution. He suggests that he read the caption and Council readopt it
in order to be certain it's done properly.
The City Attorney read the caption of Resolution No. 42-84.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 42-84,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
