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 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, June 26, 1984.
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 - City Manager James L. Pennington, and
City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Doctor E. Wallace Mast,
Church of the Palms.
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 12, 1984 and Special Meetings of May 29, 1984
and June 5, 1984, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion passed
unanimously.
5.a.1. Mr. David Nathanson, 1945 N.W. 13th Street, outlined the
documentation provided to him by City management and staff which is the
basis of his presentation tonight. Also, he publicly thanked Mr. Pontek
and Mr. Blanton for their courteousness and frankness. Mr. Nathanson
made a presentation on behalf of the Coalition for Good Government
expressing its strong opposition to actions taken by Council on May 22,
1984 and June 12, 1984 to provide water service west of Military Trail,
to provide for potential annexation of those areas granted City water
and to extend the reserve annexation area west to the E-3 Canal. He
noted that Council policy has been that the western boundary of the City
is the center of Military Trail and that no in-depth study has been done
to indicate the merits or demerits of this type of decision. They be-
lieve the decisions of Council on May 22nd and June 12th are ill-advised,
incorrect and detrimental to the citizenry of Delray Beach.
The Coalition for Good Government strongly urges Council to
take the following three actions: (1) that tonight Council rescind its
decisions of May 22, 1984 and June 12, 1984 with respect to water and
sewer service west of Military Trail, particularly to the E-3 Canal; (2)
that Council authorize a complete in-depth study of all the facets
relating to extension of water service to the reserve annexation area as
previously constituted as well as to the E-3 Canal, and that this study
be prepared by an eminently qualified engineering/planning firm other
than Russell & Axon; (3) that this entire matter be placed on the March
1985 ballot for a decision by the voters of Delray Beach as it is the
residents who should rightfully determine their City borders and who
should determine if their potable water requirements are adequate.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. Nathanson's comments will be
taken under consideration.
5.a.2. Mr. Veltry, Rainberry Bay, read the following statement into
the record:
"The Villas area of Rainberry Bay Subdivision has its dumpsters serviced
by Waste Management Corp. In accordance with a contract between the
City of Delray Beach and Waste Management Corp., garbage in this area is
to be picked up each Wednesday and Saturday. Last Saturday, June 9, our
dumpsters were not emptied. One day later, Sunday, June 10 they were
filled to overflowing. On Monday, June 11, calls were made to Waste
Management. Their response, in a very cavalier and indifferent manner,
was, 'we know about it and will take care of it when we can.' There was
no pickup on Monday. By this time garbage was all over the area sur-
rounding the dumpsters. On Tuesday, June 12, calls were made to the
City Manager's office requesting help in this emergency. As a result of
these calls, a pickup was made late Tuesday evening. This is not the
first time an incident such as this has occurred. If, for any unfore-
seen reason it must happen, then a pickup should be made on the next
working day rather than waiting for the next regularly scheduled pickup
day. Bear in mind that we are dealing with raw garbage in subtropical
climate with the many health and vermin hazards this entails. We thank
you for your kind consideration of this matter and hope you take what-
ever action is necessary to avoid any future occurence."
5.b.1. Mr. Jackel stated that at the request of Dan Mica's office
he would like to make a motion.
Mr. Jackel moved that Council authorize the Mayor to write
to Dan Mica's office and give their feelings regarding the housing
project for migrant workers, at which time Mr. Mica will take appropri-
ate action in their behalf, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion
passed unanimously.
5.b.2. Mr. Jackel moved to appoint Jack Kellerman to the Planning &
Zoning Board to replace Digby Bridges who has resigned, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
Mr. Bird concurred with the recommendation but suggested
they talk with Mr. Kellerman first and defer final action to their first
regular meeting in July, placing it on that Consent Agenda. Council
concurred.
Mr. Jackel withdrew his motion and suggested that if any
Council member has a question about this nomination that they contact
Mr. Kellerman when he returns around July 4th.
Mr. Bird stated that generally they have included an archi-
tect on that Board and he would not like that deficiency to go on over a
long period of time as he feels the P&Z Board has a need for that kind
of expertise. He suggests they consider that in any future vacancy that
might occur. Mr. Jackel concurred.
5.b.3. In response to the request made by Mr. Nathanson, Mr. Jackel
stated that he cannot make the motion because he was in the minority
when the vote was taken.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to authorize an in-depth study and
that the study be prepared by an engineering firm other than Russell &
Axon, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird pointed out that they have an on-going process
whereby those firms interested must come forth and provide Council with
their credentials to be the City's engineering consultants. He suggests
for this study that they either select a firm from those who compete and
are not selected or give the job to the new consultant, if it is someone
other than Russell & Axon.
Mr. Nathanson stated that this is a serious situation which
the City can no longer delay. Mr. Bird stated that his suggestion will
be the quickest way to get this done. Upon question by Mayor Campbell,
Mr. McDaniel, Planner, advised that he knows of two pending applications
west of Military Trail which will probably have to be considered by next
month. Mayor Campbell suggested that they discuss this item further at
next week's workshop meeting. The City Manager stated that he would
also like to study other aspects in addition to water and sewer; any
long range annexation that Council may be conceptualizing needs to be
considered as well.
- 2 - 06/26/84
Mr. Jackel noted that Mrs. Horenburger's motion included
only one of Mr. Nathanson's requests; nothing was said about the other
two requests. Further, he was unaware that they were taking bids for a
new consulting firm and questions this. Regarding the other requests,
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she doesn't feel they have made any binding
decisions and would like to see the study completed.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this further at
the next workshop meeting.
5.b.4. Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, the City Manager replied
that the people running the Pro Shop at the City golf course are City
employees.
5.b.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated that she was asked to poll Council
for comments with regard to the forming of a Palm Beach County Erosion
Control District.
Mayor Campbell stated that if there is going to be a dis-
trict set up, there should not be any discrimination between the beach
communities and the non-beach communities as to any assessment. Mrs.
Horenburger advised that funding has not been discussed yet; at this
point they are trying to decide whether there should be a county-wide
policy or not.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, suggested that if
county-wide beach restoration should come about, it should be on the
basis that any community which has beach restoration must allow its
beaches to be open on an equal basis to all of the public the same as
Delray does. The reason for this is because their own beach is over-
whelmed and they cannot handle more people. They need to discuss better
controls for their beach.
5.b.6. Mrs. Horenburger stated that she receives numerous com-
plaints about trash. As far as she can see Waste Management doesn't
have any answers. The City is spending a lot of time and money on
enforcement and they still have illegal trash piles all over. She asked
the City Manager to look into this to consider the possibility of the
City resuming some kind of trash service and bring a plan back to
Council.
5.b.7. Mrs. Horenburger asked Council to consider asking the P&Z
Board to review the SAD ordinance and come back with recommmendations
for Council. She feels the SAD ordinance is being abused. Developments
that could come in under the five commercial zoning categories are
coming in under SAD where they really don't have parking standards and
other standards. Also, they are seeing increased densities in residen-
tial developments.
Mayor Campbell concurred and suggested they pass this on to
the P&Z Board and request they look at the SAD ordinance as to curtail-
ing its present use in light of past zoning practices of the City. Mr.
Bird added that they may need to look at SAD's interrelationship with
those other zoning categories. Mayor Campbell stated that they will
have full authority to look at it in depth.
5.b.8. Mrs. Horenburger asked Council to direct the City Attorney
to prepare a resolution asking the County Commissioners to adopt the
City's sign code on properties under their jurisdiction within the
City's corporate limits and reserve area.
The City Attorney advised that a resolution is scheduled for
Council's agenda on July 10th.
5.b.9. Mrs. Horenburger asked if any member of Council wishes to be
considered for the position of Solid Waste Authority liaison for the
Municipal League. Mr. Bird clarified that this particular position will
be assigned by the Municipal League. Normally, from this position,
people are then assigned to the Solid Waste Authority at a time when an
opening is created; that is done by Legislative delegation.
- 3 - 06/26/84
Mayor Campbell stated that if any Council Members are inter-
ested they should let the City Manager know.
5.b.10. Mayor Campbell spoke in regard to the terms of their Board
and Committee members. When this was discussed by Council it was felt
that their terms should not exceed those of Council members, two years.
The City Attorney advised that a complete overview memo will
be in Council's package on Friday.
5.c.1. The City Attorney requested that Ordinance No. 51-84 on
First Reading be added to the agenda.
5.c.2. The City Attorney requested that Ordinance No. 52-84 on
First Reading be added to the agenda.
5.c.3. The City Attorney requested that Resolution No. 50-84 be
added to the agenda.
5.c.4. The City Attorney stated that they have distributed to
Council an agreement between William R. Hough & Co. and the City for
them to act as underwriters for the City's upcoming $28,000,000 Water &
Sewer Bond Issue. This formalizes the selection and sets forth some of
the time frames that obligates them to make their bid, etc.
Mr. Bird moved to approve and authorize execution of the
agreement subject to the City Attorney's final approval and approval of
the Finance Department, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion
passed unanimously.
5.c.5. The City Attorney advised that they need to replat the City
owned property near Miller Park on which the transfer station sits.
Because of some problems with the current platting of the property, they
are required to give the Solid Waste Authority a cleaner piece of prop-
erty.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the City Manager to enter into
an agreement with a surveying/planning group at a fee not to exceed
$1500 to prepare the necessary survey and plat, seconded by Mr. Weather-
spoon. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.c.6. The City Attorney reported that the City is almost complete-
ly self-insured on their workers compensation claims. In this parti-
cular case they have a claim by Gregory Wilson which they wish to settle
and to authorize a settlement cap of $15,000. Their workers compensa-
tion specialist, Elsie Shepherd, has recommended that they do so.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to settle this claim, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney asked Council if they want to see these
cases on an individual basis or authorize the City Administration to
settle claims up to a certain valuation. It was the consensus of Coun-
cil to discuss this at a workshop meeting.
5.d.1. The City Manager requested that the Job Training Partnership
Act be added to the agenda.
6. Mr. Jackel recommended that Item 33, Clean Air Ordinance, be
moved to the beginning of the regular agenda as Item 2la. Further, he
believes there's been an oversight. At their last workshop someone on
Council nominated David Cohen as an alternate businessman to the Code
Enforcement Board. He would request this be an addition to Item 16.
Mayor Campbell suggested that they consider Mr. Cohen's appointment next
week. Mr. Weatherspoon requested that Item 20 be removed from the
Consent Agenda and become Item 2lb on the regular agenda. Mayor
Campbell requested that Item 17 become Item 21c of the regular agenda.
- 4 - 06/26/84
Mayor Campbell clarified that Items 17 and 20 have been
pulled from the Consent Agenda. On the regular agenda Item 2la is the
Clean Air Ordinance, Ordinance No. 51-84 on First Reading; Item 2lb is
the site plan approval for Sherwood Honda (formerly Item 20); Item 21c
is the site plan approval for Delray Beach Motors (formerly Item 17);
Item 33 is the Job Training Partnership Act; Item 34 is Resolution No.
50-84, the bond resolution amendment; Item 35 is Ordinance No. 52-84 on
First Reading, the Linton Square rezoning.
Mr. Jackel moved for agenda approval as stipulated, seconded
by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.

Before roll call, the City Attorney stated that he assumes
it is standard division of closing cost expenses on the transaction and
that by such ratification Council has deemed that this is surplus prop-
erty available for sale. Council concurred.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

on First Reading, 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.
Mr. Bird stated that he objected before because he felt it
was an unwarranted governmental intrusion and he still feels that way.
He commends the Lung Association for all their hard work; however, he
will vote no on Second Reading as well.
20. Site Plan Approval - Sherwood Honda. Council is to consider
a request for site plan approval for Sherwood Honda, a proposed auto-
mobile dealership. The property is located north of Avenue "L", between
South Federal Highway and Dixie Highway. The P&Z Board approved this by
a 4-0 vote (Ellis abstaining).
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Mike McDaniel, Planner,
explained that there is a requirement from the Engineering Division that
a dedication of additional right-of-way be made for the future expansion
of Dixie Highway, that dedication being 50 feet off the western end of
their property.
- 9 - 06/26/84
Mr. Bird suggested, to be fair, that they ask the petitioner
to donate half of that and further ask the petitioner to not erect any
permanent structures on the other 25 feet. Then if the City ever takes
that second 25 feet they will have to pay him for it.
Mr. John Walker, Engineer, stated that the petitioner has
already deeded the property. Mr. Bird felt that the problem of equity
should be addressed further. Mayor Campbell suggested that they put on
their workshop agenda consideration of their policy regarding right-of-
way on Dixie Highway and he asked Mr. Walker to be prepared to make a
presentation at that time.
Mr. Bird moved for site plan approval for Sherwood Honda in
accordance with the memo from the Planning Director, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Said motion passed unanimously.
17. Site Plan Approval - Delra¥ Beach Motors. Council is to
consider a request for site plan approval for Delray Beach Motors, a
proposed automobile dealership, located south of Tropic Boulevard,
between South Federal Highway and Florida Boulevard. The P&Z Board
approved this by a 5-0 vote, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Engineering Division's memorandum of May 7, 1984;
(2) Director of Public Utilities' memorandum of May 16, 1984;
(3) City Horticulturist's memorandum of May 15, 1984;
(4) Fire Marshal's memorandum of May 8, 1984;
(5) That all improvements be completed in accordance with the
approved site plans; and,
(6) That the time limitation of this approval pursuant to
Section 30-22(E) of the Zoning Code be two years.
Mayor Campbell explained that the reason he requested this
be pulled from the Consent Agenda was so he could look at the site plan.
Routinely, he has been requiring site plans on that side of Federal
Highway to have a tree line buffer between any commercial and residen-
tial properties. Council viewed the site plan at this time.
Mr. Bird moved for site plan approval for Delray Beach
Motors, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed unanimously.
22. Replacement of Grass - Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course.
Council is to consider award of a contract to Southern Turf Nurseries,
Inc. for replacement of five fairways (3, 5, 16, 17 and 18) at a cost of
approximately $26,000 and two greens (4 and 11) at a cost of approxi-
mately $1,000. Southern Turf Nurseries, Inc., is the only company that
can plant grass without closing the course for a week. Funds are to
come from the 1983-84 budget.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Norbert Scott, Man-
ager, explained the process Southern Turf uses called row planting; it
is not planted by hand, it is planted by machinery. The City Manager
added that although they won't have to close the course, they will need
careful coordination.
Mr. Jackel moved to award the contract to Southern Turf
Nurseries as stipulated subject to review by the City Attorney's office,
seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed unanimously.
23. N.W. 5th Avenue Improvements. Council is to consider ap-
proval of final contract documents, specifications, construction plans
and estimate of costs as prepared by Barker, Osha and Anderson for the
N.W. 5th Avenue improvements program and authorize staff to solicit bids
for construction.
Mr. McDaniel recommended Council approval and requested
Council authorization to go out to bid to begin the construction. He
anticipates that once a contractor has been selected and the contract
awarded by Council that they could have a small ribbon cutting ceremony
on N.W. 5th Avenue.
- 10 - 06/26/84
Mr. Jeff Renault, Barker, Osha and Anderson, made a pres-
entation relative to the work they have done on this project. Upon
question by Mayor Campbell, he advised that once the bids are received,
they will evaluate them and make a recommendation to Council. Mr.
Renault introduced Mr. Thaddeus Cohen, Peabody Chiles, who has been
working with them on the architectural aspect of this project. Mr.
Cohen presented sketches to Council.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the seeking of bids for the N.W.
5th Avenue improvements, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion
passed unanimously.
24. Banking Services Evaluation. Council is to consider award
of a contract for banking services agreement to Barnett Bank of Palm
Beach County.
The City Manager advised that staff has been able to put
together an excellent proposal without the assistance of outside con-
sultants which has saved the City quite a bit of money. They have
received good responses from banking institutions in the City. He is
very pleased and recommends Barnett Bank.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize execution of the agreement
subject to approval of the contract by the City Attorney's office,
seconded by Hr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
25. Downtown Bypass. Council is to consider award of a contract
to Pavex Corporation for downtown by pass project in the amount of
$227,807.00, with funds to come fr~n the 1983-84 General Fund Capital
Improvement Reserve Account. The City's share will cost $141,109.50
with the remaining $86,697.50 to be funded by Palm Beach County.
Mr. Ken Ellin~sworth, Chamber of Commerce, requested that
this project be done prior to the paving of Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Jackel
stated it is his understanding that that contract has already been
awarded to Hardrives and they are to start at the end of July. Mayor
Campbell suggested that the City Manager contact Hardrives regarding
this matter.
Mr. Bird moved for award of the contract subject to approval
by the City Attorney and to ask the Administration to undertake any
liaison to put this project ahead of the Atlantic Avenue repaving,
seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed unanimously.
26. Dual Taxation. Resolution No. 49-84, opposing Palm Beach
County's levying of dual taxation, is before Council for consideration.

- 13 - 06/26/84
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 50-84:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ZONING AND PLACING LAND WHICH IS PRES-
ENTLY ZONED RM-15 (MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT, IN
SAD (SPECIAL ACTIVITIES) DISTRICT, BEING A 0.61 ACRE
PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CON-
GRESS AVENUE AND LOWSON BOULEVARD, SAID LAND BEING LOTS
1, 2 AND 3, GOLF PARK, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF ON
FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT IN
AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, IN PLAT BOOK 26, PAGE
141, GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE AND SITE AND DEVELOPMENT
PLAN APPROVAL AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, 1983"; PROVIDING FOR VOIDING OF BUILDING PER-
MITS; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER; PROVIDING AN EFFEC-
TIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she is opposed to this rezoning
because (1) it is totally inappropriate for an SAD; (2) she disagrees
with putting a commercial use where there is primarily residential use;
and (3) Abbey Delray is across the street and she would be opposed to
spot zoning this into an SAD.
Mr. Beril Kruger, representing the petitioner, stated that
across the street to the east it is zoned Industrial. He doesn't feel
many people would build residential here. Abbey Delray is a large
health care facility along with being residential. This type of busi-
ness will fit into an SAD; it is also a type of business which is per-
mitted in the RM-10 district now.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel, Mr. Kruger advised that they
object to condition #1 to eliminate two parking stalls. Upon question
by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Kruger advised that the two parking lots in the
rear are for employees. Mayor Campbell requested that that be a stipu-
lation; that there be no commercial vehicles utilizing S.W. 20th Court.
Discussion was had as to condition #1 which the applicant
wants eliminated.
Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 50-84 on
First Reading eliminating the condition listed as Section 2(b) of the
ordinance and that the owner be notifed that they expect proper screen-
ing of that area and to exclude commercial vehicles from the rear park-
ing lot, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 1 vote.
32. Exchange of Property. Council is to consider the possible
exchange of one of three City-owned parcels of land with Pierre Tous-
saint Haitian Catholic Center.
Mayor Campell explained that the Archdiocese of Miami owns a
piece of property near the cemetery that the Center cannot utilize for
construction and they have asked that the City exchange property for
that. The Archdiocese is willing to compensate the City for any dif-
ference in value.
Father Wenski stated that the Archdiocese has 5¼ acres; and
are willing to trade that 54 acres for about 2 acres.
Mr. Jackel suggested the property near S.W. 4th Street
rather than the property near the Police Station. Mr. Bird suggested
further that they use the southeast corner of the easternmost part.
Council concurred.
Mr. Bird moved to direct staff to prepare a description of
the property, have that property appraised and then advertise the ex-
change in the newspaper so that they can bring back the resolution
authorizing the exchange at a formal meeting in July, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 14 - 06/26/84
33. Job Training Partnership Act. Council is to consider an
agreement between the City and the Urban League of Palm Beach County to
provide positions within its employ for the placement of JTPA eligible
participants.
Mr. Bird moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger.
Said motion passed unanimously.

r~solution, is before Council for consideration.

52-84, zoning and placing land zoned LI District in SAD District, is
before Council for consideration on First Reading. The property is
located at the northeast corner of Linton Boulevard and Congress Avenue.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 52-84:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ZONING AND PLACING LAND WHICH IS PRES-
ENTLY ZONED LI (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) DISTRICT, IN SAD (SPE-
CIAL ACTIVITIES) DISTRICT, BEING A 9.4 ACRE PARCEL OF
LAND LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF LINTON BOULEVARD
AND CONGRESS AVENUE, SAID LAND LYING AND BEING IN SECTION
19, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH, RANGE 43 EAST; GRANTING CONDI-
TIONAL USE AND SITE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL AND
AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1983";
PROVIDING FOR LAPSING OF BUILDING PERMITS; PROVIDING A
GENERAL REPEALER; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Wayne Peterson~ representing the applicant, made a pres-
entation. He discussed the meetings that have been held and the prob-
lems that they have had with the site plans because the site is narrow.
The only layout that works is with the large food store at the south end
of the property. They have developed a landscape buffer to compensate.
He explained that the density is at an acceptable level. Regarding
traffic, they propose to five-lane Congress Avenue for the entire length
of their project. Mr. Peterson discussed aesthetics and described some
of the materials and design they are using.
- 15 - 06/26/84
Mr. David Street¢ President of Delray Estates Condominium,
spoke in support of the proposed shopping center. Further, he advised
that they sent a letter a few weeks ago which itemized the uses which
they would like Council to consider eliminating if Council proceeds with
this approval. They feel this is an attractive use for the land and is
definitely more desirable than the current usage or many of the alter-
native usages it could be put to.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel, Mr. Street advised that he has
discussed his letter with the developer and the developer is agreeable
to the suggested changes.
Mr. Sam Schwimer, representing Pines of Delray, spoke in
support of the proposed shopping center and commended the developer for
consulting with people in the community.
Mr. Bob Stump, 2726 Carnation Court, discussed the traffic
problem at Linton Boulevard and Congress Avenue. He spoke in opposition
of a shopping center and in favor of a professional and institutional
office designation (POI) for that site. He would like to see more input
on a traffic impact study than what has been indicated.
Mr. Raymond Gerner~ 1234 S. Congress Avenue, discussed the
problem getting out of Rainbow Homes onto Congress Avenue. He feels
this is a beautiful shopping center and is not opposed to it; however,
he requests that some consideration be given to helping the people in
the 123 homes of Rainbow Homes.
Mr. Peterson discussed the results of the traffic impact
study. He stated, in summary, what they want to bring to Delray Beach
is (1) an aesthetically beautiful center based on the award winning
center in Orlando; (2) a tax base of $50,000 - $70,000 a year for the
City; (3) an upgrading in zoning that will protect the residents con-
cerns about LI; (4) a neighborhood center which will provide an economic
boost for local retailers and will provide jobs and (5) road improve-
ments which will improve traffic conditions today from a level of
service E to C.
Mr. McDaniel made the following presentation: The layout of
the buildings and parking is unsatisfactory in that: (1) the rear of
the food store is located right on Linton Boulevard, a major thorough-
fare of the City from 1-95. In his opinion this presents a poor image
to those who live in the City as well as those who may be visiting.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel, Mr. McDaniel stated that he
feels the buffer is not sufficient.
He continued as follows: (2) a total of 433 parking spaces
have been provided on site; aside from the fact that this number of
spaces may not be sufficient, of the 433 spaces, 111 are located behind
the stores; thus, approximately 25% of the parking spaces provided will
be of limited use to the center. This could create a parking problem;
(3) the principal structure is laid out in a rough "U" shape in order to
expose 910 linear feet of the storefront to Congress Avenue that is only
961 feet long. This is the epitome of strip development reminescent of
shopping development of the 50's and 60's. As such, it is monotonous,
unrelieved and without visual variety. Breaking the buildings up,
providing a landscape and sitting plaza and avoiding the lock step
association of parking stall to store front would provide a more ap-
pealing and balanced development; (4) he is not in favor of the out
parcel at the intersection corner with its drive through lanes exposed
to the thoroughfare; he finds this unaesthetic and (5) he is not in
favor of the cart corrals located throughout the parking area in front
of the food store.
Mr. McDaniel noted that he received a call today from a
representative of Minto Builders who own the 40-45 acre tract on the
southwest corner of Congress Avenue and Linton Boulevard. They asked
him to express to Council that they are not in favor of this project and
do not feel it is in keeping with plans that they might have for their
property.
- 16 - 06/26/84
Mr. Bird asked if the ordinance in its present form includes
whatever agreement was worked out between the developer and Mr. Street,
President of Delray Estates. Discussion was had in this regard. Mr.
Peterson stated there were just two items in question; one was the dry
cleaner and the other was a liquor store.
Mr. McDaniel stated that the uses listed in the letter that
are still on the list include: broadcasting studios, cocktail lounges,
bars and package liquor stores, communication and transmission facili-
ties, dry cleaning pick-up stations, laundromats, limited to self-
service facilities, laundry pick-up stations, schools and storage build-
ings.
Mrs. Horenburger concurred with the comments made by Mr.
McDaniel and added she feels the site plan is too intense for this site.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance NO. 52-84 on
First Reading with the following changes - under Section 2, subsection
(a) - the deletion of broadcasting studios, the deletion of laundromats,
limited to self-service facilities, the elimination of schools, limited
to art, business, dancing, driving, modeling and karate/judo, the elimi-
nation of storage buildings for merchandise, when accessory to and lo-
cated on the same parcel of land as the primary commercial use, and
provided that such storage buildings are not shared or leased inde-
pendent of the primary commercial use of the building, and to add an
item under Section 2 to be labeled Item (o) to prohibit parking cart
storage in parking spaces; also to add a caviat that Mrs. Horenburger's
concern about the utilization of the parking spaces to the rear of the
building is well founded and they request that the developer provide
Council with a plan which will allay their concern about the safety of
that area, particularly after dark, and to add the lighting as subsec-
tion (p), seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: hr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Jackel - Yes;
Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon - Yes; Said motion passed with a 3 to i vote.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Council Chambers at this
time.
