A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Vice-Mayor Jimmy Weatherspoon in

1984.

Council Member Arthur Jackel
Vice-Mayor Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell (Arrived 8:43 P.M.)

4. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of August 14, 1984 and the Special Meetings of August 7, 1984
and August 17, 1984, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unan-
imously.
5.a.1. Mr. Saul Horne, 801 N.W. 26th Avenue, stated Council should
not consider leasing the golf course; instead, they should hire a ca-
pable manager. He feels they received unimpressive applications for the
Golf Course Manager's job because the salary range was such that no self
respecting, capable individual would reply to the advertisement.
5.a.2. Mr. Jack Pitts, 1109 Beach Drive, stated he is before Coun-
cil, on behalf of a friend, to complain about the condition of the
cemetery. He suggested that in addition to taking a look at it, they
might also consider having the police go by there more frequently.
Mr. Bird stated they were looking at proposals on the cem-
etery and questioned whether they have received any information.
The City Manager advised they have received some information
and he will try to schedule this for the next workshop.
5.b.1. Mr. Jackel stated that three months ago he requested a study
be made of the water and sewer rate structure. To date he has received
no information and requested that the City Manager produce the results
of that study.
5.b.2. Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon read a proclamation proclaiming the
month of September as "Safety through Songs Month".
5.b.3. Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon read a proclamation proclaiming 1984
as "Year of the Family".
5.c.1. The City Attorney advised Council that they will have a
draft of the golf course licence agreement on next week's agenda.
5.c.2. The City Attorney advised that Ordinance No. 38-84, which
was scheduled to be on tonight's agenda for second and final reading,
will now be postponed until September llth. However, due to the fact
that it was mentioned on a previous agenda to be on tonight's agenda, he
is requesting that Council formally make the motion to postpone the
second and final reading and public hearing of Ordinance No. 38-84 until
Tuesday, September llth at 5:00 P.M.
Mr. Bird moved to postpone the second and final reading and
public hearing of Ordinance No. 38-84 until Tuesday, September llth at
5:00 P.M., seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel stated he objects to a public hearing being held
at 5:00 P.M. when there will a public hearing on the budget that same
evening at 7:00 P.M.
Mr. Bird advised the Statutes state that budget hearings
should be for the subject of the budget and only the budget. There are
also quite a number of other bodies who hold budget hearings and they
cannot be on the same day.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.d.1. The City Manager advised that Council has been furnished a
memorandum from Mr. Pontek relative to paving repairs in the manhole
rehabilitation project. The project is bigger than first anticipated
and Mr. Pontek is recommending that the contract be added to in the
amount of $20,700 for the repaving of the nine manhole sites.
Mr. Jackel moved to increase the amount being paid to H & H
Engineering by the amount of $20,700 to repave nine manholes, seconded
by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird amended the motion to include the source of funding
to come from the Sewer Fund, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed
unanimously.
5.d.2. The City Manager stated several weeks ago Council requested
that the Administration secure proposals from police consultants for the
Police Department facility. He has received three proposals and is
recommending that Council review these at the September 18th workshop
meeting. He has also been advised that, in order to meet with a poten-
tial schedule in the spring, Council should be considering the selection
of an architect to work in conjunction with the consultant.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Chief Kilgore advised they have a
building which they thought they could add onto; however, they feel they
should be looking towards the future and have the proper people come in
and conduct the study.
5.d.3. The City Manager advised he has received a letter of intent
to purchase City Parcel #80 from the Ural American Mortgage Company. The
purchase price ranges from $130,500 to $174,000 depending on how the
property is zoned and its future use. He will furnish Council copies of
the letter for their review.
5.d.4. The City Manager advised he has received a request from
Carolyn Young and William Young for consideration of the sale of Lots 21
and 22, Block B, West Side Heights.
The City Attorney stated this is a two-fold issue. Ms.
Young wishes to purchase the two lots; in addition to that she has an
offer to permit the City to acquire from her Lot 2, Block 2, J.G. Fenno
Subdivision. This lot was the subject of discussion back in December,
1981 and involved an allegation that a portion of a right-of-way en-
croached upon that lot. Council directed that the City Attorney's Office
negotiate a resolution of the issue with the Attorney representing the
then owner. Ms. Young is apparently now the owner of that particular
lot and is offering that the City either purchase this lot from her and
sell her the City's two lots or swap them. He is bringing this item
before Council for further direction as to whether or not they wish to
look into the proposition further or have the three lots respectively
appraised.
Mr. Bird stated he would like to study this issue and the
preliminary step would be to find out whether or not the City-owned lots
in question are excess properties. He requested that the Administration
investigate to make sure they are excess and then perhaps they could
workshop this matter.
- 2 - 8/28/84
The City Attorney stated he feels it needs to be made clear,
for the record and any Council members, that the meeting which is to
occur on September llth at 7:00 P.M. is scheduled and must be at the
regular meeting time. The meeting which will occur at 5:00 P.M. is to
be a special meeting; therefore, it must be delineated on the agenda
specifically those items which are going to be discussed. If Council
has any items to be added to that special meeting they should have them
submitted by September 6th or 7th.
6. Mr. Bird requested that items 9 through 14 be moved to the
last items of the regular agenda.
Mr. Bird moved that items 7 and 8 be removed from the agenda
and items 9 through 14 be moved to the end of the regular agenda follow-
ing item 31, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney advised that since items 7 and 8 have been
advertised for a public hearing tonight and have yet to be readvertised
Council should move Ordinance No. 53-84 and Ordinance No. 54-84 for
second and final reading and public hearing to be held at 7:00 P.M., in
the City Council Chambers on Tuesday, September 25, 1984.
Mr. Jackel moved that the second and final reading and
public hearing on Ordinance No. 53-84 and Ordinance No. 54-84 be held at
7:00 P.M., in the City Council Chambers on Tuesday, September 25, 1984,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.

- 3 - 8/28/84
Mr. Jack Pitts stated he is beginning to oppose the SAD
zoning classification and feels Council should reconsider it before
granting any more.
Mr. Robert Stump, 2726 Carnation Court, stated he was under
the impression that the developer of this shopping center had agreed to
a buffer zone between the back property line and Frederick Boulevard and
also that the land would be zoned for duplexes. He questioned why the
developer wants to increase the density and there is a sudden change of
plan.
Mr. Jackel advised the developer is doing away with an
internal road which gives him more property and allows him to build more
homes; the density will not be increased.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 66-84 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Coun-
cil voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Vice-Mayor

existing automobile dealership to allow the addition of a 8,720 square

Mr. Bird moved for site plan approval for Sherwood Pontiac,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel stated that two weeks ago they approved a site
plan for Lincoln Mercury and at that time he pointed out that he was
uncomfortable that the right-of-way they were giving was only 25 feet.
Other dealerships in that area have given 50 foot rights-of-way and he
feels that Council should be consistent in their policies.
Mr. Digby Bridges, representing Sherwood Pontiac, stated his
client feels they no longer wish to give the 50 feet right-of-way and is
requesting that they only give 25 feet as did Lincoln Mercury.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to allow Sherwood Pontiac to
only give a 25 foot right-of-way, Mr. Jackel amended his second.
Mr. Robert Stump questioned what kind of liability Council
is setting up for the taxpayers of the City; he feels they made a very
unwise decision in granting a 25 foot right-of-way to Lincoln Mercury
and have left the taxpayers with a tax burden.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
25. Extension Request - The Harbour's Edge. Council is to
consider a request for a four month extension of the time period in
which the developer retains the option to substitute The Harbour's Edge
site plan, a 276-unit life care facility for the Old Harbor site plan, a
304-unit condominium project. This option will expire on August 30,
1984. The property is located at the northwest corner of Linton Boul-
evard and the Intracoastal Waterway. The Planning and Zoning Board
recommends denial.
Mr. Richard Siemens, developer of Harbour's Edge, stated
this project has been delayed because of modifications made to the State
Statutes and the Congress' Tax Reform Act. They are trying to work out
the problems; however, if they cannot be resolved they do have another
arrangement whereby they will modify the existing occupancy agreements
and close the financing.
Mr. Jackel stated he feels Mr. Siemens is not requesting the
extension for his own benefit but because the Federal Government changed
their regulations and this is causing a delay.
Mr. Jackel moved to approve a four month extension, seconded
by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 6 - 8/28/84
26. Ordinance No. 55-84 - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Special

feet on both sides of Linton Boulevard; 30 feet on both sides of Con-
gress Avenue and 30 feet on both sides of Military Trail, is before
Council for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing
will be held September 25th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 55-84:
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
REPEALING SECTION 30-16 "SPECIAL SETBACK PROVISIONS" (M)

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 55-84 on First
Reading, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Mr. Bird stated, the way he reads this ordinance, 10 feet of
land must be landscaped; instead of trying to increase the landscaping
he feels they may be reducing it which was not the intention of the
ordinance.
Mr. Sam Schwimer, 1061 Orange Terrace, stated he is not sure
how this ordinance will affect the Pines of Delray. Linton Boulevard is
presently being widened to four lanes and a good part of the land has
already been taken away. There are plans to widen this road to six
lanes and if they do so how will this affect people's homes if this
setback requirement of 30 feet is enforced.
Mr. Jack Frieder, 1425 S.W. 27th Avenue, stated his develop-
ment has areas along Linton Boulevard which are less than 25 feet from
the road and would be greatly affected by this ordinance.
Mr. Bird stated he feels this ordinance should be returned
to a workshop to have it reconsidered.
Mr. Bird withdrew his motion, Mr. Jackel withdrew his
second.
Mr. Jackel moved to refer this item back to the Planning and
Zoning Board for further study, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.

31. Agreement between the City~ Palm Beach County and LIR Devel-
opment Company. Council is to consider authorizing execution of agree-
ment between the City, Palm Beach County and LIR Development Company to
accept a contribution of $250,000 from LIR Development Company in lieu
of and in addition to the County's Fair Share or Road Impact Fees for
the purpose of widening Linton Boulevard to six lanes.
The City Attorney advised this item is on the agenda at the
request of Mr. Chapin who is the attorney representing LIR Development
Company. There is now a third draft of the proposed agreement which
incorporates all but one of the requested changes which he (City Attor-
ney) proposed.
- 9 - 8/28/84
Mr. Robert Chapin stated LIR Development Company has agreed
to pay $250,000 to the City for the improvements and widening of Linton
Boulevard. Normally, this agreement would be with the County; however,
it was requested by John Walker, Engineering Department, that the City
be included. The agreement provides that (a) LIR Development Company
will pay the money, (b) the City will exercise its best efforts to
collect the uncollected road impact fees, (c) the County will exercise
its best efforts to award a contract for the widening of Linton Boul-
evard on or before July 1, 1985 and (d) the County will agree that the
funds from these uncollected road impact fees will be first used for
this project. The City Attorney's only question is whether or not the
City should agree to exercise its best efforts. He feels by adding this
phrase to the agreement they are not adding any legal obligation or
further duty on behalf of the City.
Mayor Campbell arrived at this time and took the Chair.
Mr. Bird stated he has trouble with the term "best efforts";
who can define what the City's best efforts will be? He questioned why
the City has to use the term and why they cannot specify in the agree-
ment that the City shall be responsible for maintaining records of who
the fees are owed by, send out the notices and if after second notice no
collection has been effected that the responsibility for legal action
shall be the County's.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels "best efforts" is a very
clear statement; if you go too much further you may be binding the City
in trying to define what best efforts are and in this case he feels it
is best left ambiguous.
Mr. Jackel stated, normally,-he would agree with Mr. Bird's
comments; however, he feels the wording is proper and cannot forsee any
lawsuits against the City for not exercising their best efforts.
Mr. Jackel moved to authorize execution of an agreement
between the City, Palm Beach County and LIR Development Company to
accept a contribution of $250,000 from LIR Development Company in lieu
of and in addition to the County's Fair Share or Road Impact Fees for
the purpose of widening Linton Boulevard to six lanes, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No;
Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird stated, for the record, that his objection is only
for technical not substantive reasons.
The City Attorney advised the motion should be as to the
third and most recent draft.
Mr. Jackel amended his motion to include that the agreement
is as to the third and most recent draft, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his
second.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated she is speaking
not only to this item but also to the following ordinances which limit
terms on boards. She stated that having people on boards for an unlim-
ited time gives it continuity and stability. By limiting terms on
boards Council will have a hard time filling the specified occupations
on some boards.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he shares Mrs. Finst's concern that
they may have difficulty in appointing people with certain occupations
to the boards. He would like to see a stipulation added to the ordi-
nances that if a term has expired and they cannot find a qualified
person to fill the position then the person whose term has just expired
can serve another term.
