Beach, Florida, was called to order by ~ayor Willard V. Youn9 an the

Council hember Doak S. Campbell (7:05 P.~l.)
Council hember Arthur Jackel
Council ~ember Edward L. Perry
5]ayor Willard V. Youn9

City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend A.A. Array,
Church of the Palms.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United btates of
America was given.
4. ~. Perry moved for approval o~ the minutes of the ~egular
~eeting of September 27, 1983, seconded by ~. Bird. Said motion passe~
unanimously.
Before roll call ~. Jackel requested clarification o~ 5~.
Campbell's motion to have a special meeting on October 17th at 5:30 P.~.
for the "final selection process for the City hanager", hr. Campbell
advised that was the correct wording of the motion.
Mayor Youn9 acknowledged the Cub Scouts from the Rubello
Pack #'317 and requested that they be recognized.
5.a.1, ROsetta Rolle, 301 N.W. 3rd Avenue, requested that Council
give some thought to trash pickup within the City.
5.a.2. Richard Brown, 301 N.W. 7th Avenue, stated that trucks have
been dumping trash in the lot behind his property. Re has complaine~ to
the City's Code Enforcement Department but to date there has been no
action taken.
~r. Bird advised that there is no authority w~thin the Cit~
to dump on vacant property. He suggested that the City Attorney get the
necessary information from the Code Enforcement Department and take the
appropriate action.
5.a.3. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated that more people seem
to be attending Council meetings. &he requested that a speaker be
placed in the lobby and the chair cart be returned so that there is
seating available for the people in the foyer area.
5.b.1. ~. Jackel stated that due to recent events they shoul~
postpone the final date of the selection of the Cit~ hanager by approx-
imately one month, the number of candidates should be reduced to six an~
public interviews should be held. He also suggested that rather t~an
have a citizens committee check the resumes it should be done by the
Police Depar~aent who are experts in investigative work. ~e woul~ like
the consensus of Council on this su99estion.
~ayor Young stated that he has personally ~nterviewed seven
of the candidates and eliminated four and that to his ~nowledge the
other Council members have not been delinquent in their investigations.
Mr. Bird suggested they go ahead with the meetin9 on October
17th as scheduled, if only to start the process. He feels that checking
out resumes would be more productive than public interviews; a person
who interviews well may not perform well. It is Council's obligation to
find the best, most competent manager for the City.
Mr. Perry stated he agrees that they should go ahead witn
the meeting and shortlist the number of candidates. He does not feel
that the Police Department could find out any more than Council by
examining the resumes; however, he does feel that the~ should hold the
public interviews as there are some questions that should be asked by
Council and the citizens.
* hayor Young stated that as a result of his investigations he
has found out that one of the candidates on the approved list has been
given a medical furlough. He feels this proves that by proper investiga-
tion on the part of Council this type of information can be brought out.
He feels the process should begin at their scheduled meeting.
It was the consensus of Council to begin the final selectaon
process at their scheduled meeting on October 17th at 5:30 P.h.
5.b.2. ~. Bird suggested that at their next workshop meetang
Council should consider a Charter Amendment relative to the Internal
Auditor. He feels the Internal Auditor should be an independant agent,
free from administrative pressure and able to respond to Council.
5.b.3. ~. Perry stated that earlier this evening they acknowledged
the cub scouts from Rubello Pack #317. He feels they should also acknow-
ledge 5~. hike Machek who has been the Scoutmaster of Pack #302 for 35
years.
5.b.4. Mr. Campbell requested clarification from the Cat~ ~anager
that item 25, on the consent agenda, is relative to the park on A1A and
that F~. Walsh has agreed to replace cabbage palms with coconut palms
when he does his landscaping plans. The City Manager advised that is
correct.
5.b.5. ~. Campbell questioned whether the Administration is work-
ing on the specifications for furniture in City Hall.
The City 5~anager advised that they are awaiting response
from the bidders and, at such time as they do give staff a proposal, it
will be before Council.
5.b.6. Mr. Campbell stated that, with regard to the City obtaining
'appropriations for the Lake Ida Road expansion, there has been con-
siderable controversy revolving around the four-lanan9. ?he County and
the Metropolitan Planning Organization have agreed that Lake Ida Road
would be expanded only after they have received some general consensus
from the citizens in that area, the County and other areas of the City.
He feels it is now generally felt that this is not a pro3ect which would
be appropriate. He would like to see that the monies, which were appro-
priated for Lake Ida Road, be kept within the City oi De lra3 ~or other
necessary projects.
Mr. Campbell moved that they send a resolution to the hPO,
with regard to funds that will be then and therefore deviated from the
Lake Ida Road project, requestin§ that insteaG of Lake Ida koad being
originally four-laned only necessary intersection and drainage improve-
ments be carried out on Lake Ida Road; the balance of funds therefore go
towards the improvement of Linton Boulevard which wall turn it ~nto an
urban six lane thoroughfare, which can be beautified with curD, gutters
and sidewalks; after that the money then go towards Swinton Avenue an
con~unction with the City's 1st Street pairing and any money left over
go towards either Congress Avenue or Dixie Highway, particularly an Boca
Raton since these are connector roads and very important in the trat~ac
between sister cities, seconded by ~. Jackel.
Before roll call the following dascussion was had:
* Please see October 25th minutes for amended wording.
- 2 - 10/11/83
Mr. Jackel suggested an amendment to the motion changing the
word improvement to "resurface" relative to Lake Ida Road. He feels the
citizens in that area want more than just improvements done to the road
and the drainage.
Mr. Campbell amended his motion as suggested by 5~. Jackel.
5~. Bird questioned whether the improvements to Linton
Boulevard would be the entire road or from 1-95 to Dixie Highway. hr.
Campbell advised that his motion should have read "Linton Boulevard from
1-95 to Dixie Highway" and further amended his motion.
~ayor Young stated he would also like the specifications as
to where the turning lanes and drainage system are so that there is no
question when it comes before the MPO. It is his understanding they are
at the corner of Lake Ida Road and Congress Avenue. He requested that
Mr. Campbell amend his motion to include these specifications.
Mr. Campbell amended his motion as requested by hayor Youn9.
5~. Perry stated that at this time there is a considerable
traffic impact on Lake Ida Road. There are many new developments start-
ing in this area and he feels there is a definite need for four-laning.
This is something which they have to consider doing either now or within
the next five years; if they leave it till later the cost will be double
or more than it would cost today. He cannot go along with this resolu-
tion if it were to weaken the possibility of Lake Ida becomin9 a four
lane road.
Alice Finst stated that this morning the President of the
Homeowners League of Chatelaine and she met with the City Engineer and
reviewed the plans for Lake Ida Road. She requested that ~. Campbell's
motion be expanded to include the possibility of having a bike path on
the south side of Lake Ida Road, a pedestrian walkway at Barwick and
Lake Ida Road and a traffic control light at Boulevard Chatelaine,
should it be warranted. If these are not included now the chances of
getting them will be very far down the way. She also requested that
Council give the homeowners some time to discuss the resurfacing as
there are other plans as to how Lake Ida Road can be two-laned.
Mr. Campbell stated that one of the problems they are facin9
is a time constraint and the money is now coming in under the new tax
revenue on the gasoline tax.
Mrs. Finst requested that they include the traffic light an~
the bike bath, at least open for conversation.
~. Campbell stated he would be amenable to that.
5~. Jackel stated that he personally called most of the
homeowners along Lake Ida Road and the consensus of the citizens was
that they do not want the road widened; however, the~~ would like to see
it resurfaced and the drainage problem taken care of.
hayor Young stated that while Lake Ida Road is not a through
thoroughfare it is a collector road and as such is high on the ~PO's
list to receive the improvements. However, there are not the funds to
carry through with some of the items suggested by 5~s~ Finst.
Mr. Perry stated that they have already spent a considerable
amount of money to realign the drainage system on Lake Ida Road with the
expectation of it becoming a four lane road.
Upon question by 5~. Perry, hr. Campbell stated that if, in
five years, the money is available and the people decide they want
four-laning the City has the right-of-way to expand the.road on either
side.
- 3 - 10/11/83
stanley Katz, 1421 S.~4. 27th Avenue, stated that Linton
Boulevard has already been considered for four-laning west of Congress
Avenue. He does not feel they need to construct six lanes east of
Congress Avenue as this will create a bottle neck situation.
Mr. Campbell clarified that the extra lane on Linton Boule-
vard which they were discussing is an access lane going west for 1-95
and a ramp lane coming off 1-95 going east. If you six lane Llnton
Boulevard from 1-95 to Dixie Highway you will have a ramp lane which
will be a safety factor for people cumin9 off and turnin9 onto 1-95.
At this point the roll was called to the n~otion and upon
roll call Council voted as follows: l~. Bird - Yes; hr. ~anlpDell - Yes;
5~. Jackel - Yes; ~. Perry - No; hayor Young - Yes. Said motion passe~
with a 4 to 1 vote.
5.b. 7. ~ayor Young presented and read a proclamation commen~in9
Todd Clark, Eagle Scout for his outstanding accomplishments.
5.b.8. ~yor Young presented and read a proclamation proclaim~n9
the week of October 6 - 22, 1983 as "Credit Union Week".
5.b.9. ~iayor Young presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the week of November 20 to 27, 1983 as "Bible Week".
5.c. The City Attorney requested that item 13 be deleted from the
agenda as there are some technical corrections to be made and the~ have
to go back to first reading.
5.d. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City hanager.
6. ~. Bird moved for approval of the agenda with the excei~tlon
of item 13 to be deleted, seconded by ~nc. Perry. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Jackel requested that item 19 be removed from the con-
sent agenda and placed as first item on the regular agenda.
Mr. Bird advised that once they get to the consent a~enda
they will know whether or not they need to discuss item 19 or not as ~t
is related to items 11 and 12; therefore, there is no need to remove it
at this present time.

"ZONING ~P OF DELRAY B~ACH, FLORIDA, 1983".
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compllance
with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the C~ty o~
Delray Beach, Florida.
Ro~er Saberson, attorney representin9 the petitioner, stated
that the proposed project contains 105 patio homes and 48 townhouses.
He introduced 5~. Marvin Sanders, planner ~or the development, who
presented drawings of the site plan and of the plantin9 and configura-
tion of the units, hr. Sanders described the units and exFlalned what
the developers are planning to do with regard to the canals and recrea-
tional facilities.
- 6 - 10/11/83
Mr. Campbell stated that as he understands it the developer
is taking the property as presently zoned and not increasing, by number
of units, the density on the property. With that in mind, ne questioned
why they are wanting to rezone to PRD-4.
Roger Saberson replied that the amenity value and desir-
ability of the project depends largely on the canal system which is now
there. They are also exceeding the maximum square footage permitted
under R-1AA in some of the units; therefore, rezonin9 to PRb-4 seemed
the most reasonable thing to do.
Mr. Campbell advised that the last time the petitioners came
before Council they indicated they would be willing for t~e City to
initiate an immediate follow-up to an SAD zoning if they were to receive
PRD-4 zoning approval. With SAD zoning the City could lock then~ into
this site plan and specific use, they could only build units of this
size, character and location and there could be no deviation from that.
This could be deemed under some people's interpretation as an upgrading
of the property rather than a downgrading.
~r. Perry stated he feels the multi-family housing in the
center of the site, which is not within the R-1AA concept, is definitely
downgrading to the property.
Mr. Jackel stated although this is supposed to be a family
development he would not like to bring up children in an area with all
these canals and feels they are creating a hazardous situation.
Roger Saberson stated that Council has to consider what can
now be built in this area under the existing zoning. He questioned if
the policy decision they are making, the kind of decision that is going
to foster the improvement of the area, with standards above the ex~stln9
zoning, or will it compel the developer into a choice where he has to go
in and meet the minimum standards. They had a survey done o~ the area
in the vicinity of this pro3ect to see to what degree the square foot-
ages in their project are comparable; 84% of the homes are equivalent or
less in square footage than the patio homes they are proposing.
Franklyn D. Wheat, realtor, outlined the assessed values and
sale prices of the surrounding properties to this pro3ect.
Bill ~achad, 510 Sunshine Drive, stated the minimum square
footage allowed within PRD-4 is 400 square feet. They were informed by
the Planning and Zoning Board that the developer could file the plan and
change it to smaller housing without another public hearing.
~r. Campbell stated that the attempt here is not to create a
PRD-4 zoning category. It is Council's understanding that immediately
afterwards the City will initiate an SAD zonin9 which will, in essence,
do away with PRD-4 and create and lock in the site plan. Therefore, t~e
developer has to build the homes exactly as shown on the site plan and
there is no deviations from that or he will have to come back through
the entire process again and receive another approval. When this or-
dinance came before Council on first reading the developer agreed to
voluntarily accept an SAD zoning by the City.
George' OSlin stated that the people who signed the petition
against this site were under the impression the houses would be a m~n-
imum of 1,000 square feet and the lots would be a minimum o~ 4,500
square feet. He feels that the presentation and discussions, which have
gone on tonight, have clarified the situation somewhat; however, he
would like to see Council deny this rezoning until an &AD is guaranteed.
Joseph Martin, Hibiscus Lane, stated he feels what Delray
lacks is development for family housing. There are very few sub-
divisions left in the City to develop this kind of project and he feels
that this particular site is a suitable and viable development which
they can adopt, support and be proud of.
- 7 - 10/11/83
Phyllis' Plume, 409 Lake Drive, stated that she is opposed to
this rezoning as this is one of the last parcels of single family zoning
in the City. The intent of PRD was never to impose it on a single
family parcel of land which is exactly what is happenin§ here.
Walter Blake advised that he owns one of the 37 lots within
Isles of Delray, which has already been platted. His lot has a 90 foot
frontage; the property contiguous to-his, if Council approves the re-
zoning, will have a 60 foot frontage. There are also considerable
differences between the setbacks and he would like Council to consider
if what is being proposed, as compared to the platted section, is in the
best interests of the citizens. He suggested that Council leave the
platted section alone, as it has already been approved, an~ make the
developer file deed restrictions for the remainder of the site which
would be non-amendable or changeable without the written consent of the
City.
Robert Lawson, 910 Lake Shore Drive, questioned how much
wider the developer will be making the canals and what will happen i~
the permits to widen it are not obtained.
Mr. Sanders replied that they will be w~dening the canals
from 40 feet to 60 feet. He explained that they are currently proces-
sing the permits and feel that their proposals will meet the desires of
the various boards. If the permits are not granted the existin9 canals
on the north and east would remain the same.
Upon question by ~. Lawson, ~. Bird stated that if this
developer cannot comply with his site plan and the property reverts back
to R-1AA, after sos~ portion has been developed, it will be difficult to
get back to the minimum lot size. The protection they are look~n9 for
is to make sure that no other plan should be allowed except Dy going
through the public disclosure process again. Any successor to this
developer would be bound by the SAD zoning.
David Ledbetter, N.%~. 7th Street, stated the original sti~-
ulation with this development was that there would not be an access road
from 8th Avenue and questioned if that was still the case. ~. Bird
advised there would still be no access from 8th Avenue. ~. Ledbetter
also suggested that Council request the developer to move the recreation
center from the outer part of the development into the center.
Eva %~n~, 523 Enfield koad, stated she is also concerned
with the location of the recreation center. This was Drought uF at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting and apparently the developer did not
care to change his plans.
Kathi Sumrall, Planning and Zonin9 Board member, stated at
the P & Z meeting they did request that the developer move the recrea-
tional facilities and increase the parking area; however, the developer
did not fe~i that was necessary.
Alexander Simon, Planning and Zoning Board member, stated he
feels Council has several options: one is to go with ~Ab, which would
freeze the plan; the second would be to reject the plan and the third
would be to send this back to the Planning and Zoning Board who could
work with the developer and perhaps make some minor changes in the site
plan to the benefit of the citizens.
~r. Jackel stated that in view of the fact the developer has
presented the same site plan as was shown to the Planning and ~oning
Board, without taking any of their suggestions seriously, it may be a
good idea to send it back to them for some more work. 5~. Jackel quoted
from Section 30-23 of the zoning code which sets out the standards ~or
evaluating rezoning requests; he questioned whether these criteria have
been answered. He feels that with the present site plan and downgradin9
of the zoning he cannot accept the reasoning which he has heard tonight
and 'approve the ordinance.
- 8 - 10/11/83
Mr. Perry stated he does not feel it is incumbent on this
Council and City to help a developer who has possibly made a bad ~eci-
sion.
Mr. Campbell stated he is very concerned with providin9 new
developments and housing opportunities for people in the City. There
will be a lot of new industry coming into Delray and he questioned where
the people will go. He has some serious reservations about this pro~ect
and there is some additional information he would like to find out.
Mr. Campbell moved to postpone this item for two weeks until
he has had a chance to get some questions answered, seconded by ~.
Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: ~. Bird - Yes; ~.
Campbell - Yes; Mr. Jackel - No; 5~. Perry - No; Mayor Young - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
The City Attorney clarified that the motion would De to
postpone Ordinance No. 73-83 for two weeks and continue the public
hearing on October 25, 1983.
Mayor Young declared a recess the time being 9:39 P.h.
The meeting was reconvened the ti~ being 9:45 P.~.
12. Ordinance No. 74-83 - Changing the City's Land Use Plan
Designation.
Mr. Perry moved to postpone Ordinance No. 74-83, along with
Ordinance No. 73-83, and item 19 from the consent agenda for two weeks
and make them all part of the same package, seconded by 5~. Bird. Said
motion passed unanimously.
CONSENT AGENDA
5~. Bird requested that item 25 be removed from the Consent
Agenda and placed as first item on the Regular Agenda.
The following items are to be considered by Council as the
Consent Agenda:
14. Request for Solicitation of Funds - League of %~omen Voters
of South Palm' Beach County, Inc. Council is to consider approving
solicitation of funds from November 7 through November 18, 1983. Ap-
proval is recommended.
15. Re~lat Approval - Dumar Plaza. Council is to consider a
replat request for the entire site of Dumar Plaza, an existing profes-
sional office development located east of Federal Highway between Avenue
"H" and Avenue "J". This was approved 5-0 by the Plannin9 and ~on~ng
Board.
16. Conditional Use Approval - Dumar Plaza. Council is to
consider a request for conditional use approval to allow alternate

Council is to consider approving the alternate design plan. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Jackel moved to approve the alternate design plan which
was the original one they re3ected which would reduce the parking spaces
from 32 to 24 but increase the landscaping to be paid for by the Sea-
crest Hotel for the City Parking Lot, seconded by ~z. Perry. Upon roll

with a 4 to 1 vote.

Before roll call, Mr. Bird stated, for the record, that the
north end parking is limited and narrow. They are going to landscape
it, not at their expense, but they will maintain it at City expense. He
feels they could landscape it while still maintaining all the parking
spots which were there before the developer destroyed them in the pro-
cess of building his hotel.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
26'. RePort'on replacement of the maintenance buildin~ and ~olf
cart shed. The City Manager explained that what they are proposing is
to utilize tile funds they still have remaining on hand from the insur-
ance proceeds of the fire at the golf course for improvin9 a piece of
property which has been offered to the City by donation from b~. Block.
They will make a maintenance building out of this for a sum of $50,000
and also utilize the property which used to be the maintenance sned ~or
the golf cart storage area. If Council were to approve the two develop-
ment plans the Administration would proceed to do these incrementally.
The Administration would then recommend that additional funds De used to
repair the roof and replace an air conditionin9 unit at the club house.
Mr. Bird moved that the Administration be authorized to
continue with this project, secure bids and bring it back to Council for
approval when there are specific bids, seconded by 5~. Perry. Said
motion passed unanimously.
27. N.S.A. Drainage Stud~/N.W. 5th Avenue Design. Counczl is
to consider approval of contracts and fee proposed by Barker, Osha and
Anderson in the amount of $58,760 for N.S.A. Drainage Study/N.%~. 5tn
Avenue Design. Contracts and fee have been approved by Community bevel-
opment. Approval is recommended subject to final review and approval by
the City Attorney.
hike ~lcDaniel, Planner, stated that in July Council chose
the firm of Barker, Osha and Anderson to do the consultation work in the
N.S.A. Over the past several months a committee consisting of himself,
the City ~nager, a representative from Community Development and Gates
Castle met with representatives from Barker, Osha and Anderson and went
over the contracts and proposed fees. They have now arrive~ at a fee
and contract which are acceptable to the Committee; this is now before
Council for their consideration and approval.
~. Bird moved to approve the contracts and fee, seconded Dy
Mr. Perry.
The City Attorney advised the motion should read subject to
approval of the contract documents by the City Attorney.
Mr. Bird amended his motion as advised by the City Attorney,
Mr. Perry amended his second. Said motion passed unanimously.
28. Improvement of Homewood and Lowson InterseCtion. Council
is to consider authorizing improvement of the intersection at Homewoo~
and Lowson at an estimated cost of $26,500. $18,000 will be paid by the
developer, Lago Del Rey; the balance of $8,500 will come from Capital
Improvement Fund Reserve. Approval is recommended.
~. Church, City Engineer, presented a zelar and explained
to Council what improvements the City will be doing at the intersection.
5~. Perry moved to authorize improvement of tne intersection
at Homewood and Lowson at an estimated cost of $26,000, seconded by ~.~.
Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
29. EXtension of Conditional Use A~roval - ~dical Office
Buildin~ for Dr. Beroza. Council is to consider a request for one-year
extension of the conditional use approval for 5~dical Office Buildin9
for Dr. Beroza, located at the northeast corner of N.E. 2nd Avenue and
N.E. 5th Street. The Planning and Zonin9 Board recommends denial 5-0.
- 12 - 10/11/83
nike McDaniel stated this office building was originally
approved on October 13, 1981. In 1982 they approached the Planning and
Zoning Board and requested a one-year extension of that approval which
was subsequently granted. This year they again requested an extension;
to date no remodelling or construction activity has occurred on the site
and in consideration of that the P&Z Board recommends this petition be
denied.
Mr. Perry moved to approve a one-year extension of the
conditional use approved for hedical Office Building, seconded by ~.
Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: 5~. Bird - No; hr.
Campbell - No; hr. Jackel - No; ~. Perry - No; hayor Young - No. bai~
motion FAILED by a 5 to 0 vote.
30. Extension Request - The Harbour's Edge. Council is to
consider a four-month extension request of the time period established
by Council which granted the developer the option of substituting The
Harbour's Edge site plan for the Old Harbour site plan on or before
December 31, 1983. The date of expiration would become April 30, 19~4.
This was approved 4-1 (Horenburger dissenting) by the Planning and
Zoning Board.
Richard Siemens explained he is requesting this extension in
order to comply with Section 651 of the Florida Statutes which regulates
life care facilities. That legislation was chan9ed this past year and
became effective October 1st. One of the new stipulations is that they
cannot take any money out of escrow until 70% of the units are occupied.
This makes it difficult for anyone attempting to run a life care facil-
ity; if a life care facility becomes 50% occupied it will fail. The
people who have put their money into it will be living in a facility
which cannot operate and deliver the services they need. He was not
able to conclude his documents until a few weeks ago and has been de-
layed in getting their occupancy agreements. They are complete with
their presentation and have done everything they said they would do;
however, they need the additional four months in order to conclude the
residency agreements.
Mr. Bird moved to grant a four-month extension, seconded by
~. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
31. Appointments - Citizens Committee. Council is to consider
the appointments of two members to the Citizens Committee relative to
the Highland Beach Sewer Contract/Arbitration.
~. Bird stated that, as indicated at the workshop meeting,
Mr. Jack Pitts has agreed to serve on this committee. He suggested that
Mr. Bobby Wells be appointed as the other member to the committee. 5~.
Wells has agreed to serve if named.
~. Jackel submitted the name of ~. Ralph Dye to serve on
this committee. 5~. Dye is not in town at this present time and he
would like to leave the selection of a second member for another wee~
until Mr. Dye can be contacted.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint ~z. Pitts and 5~. %~ells as members
to the Citizens Committee, seconded by 5~. Campbell. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: ~. Bird - Yes; ~. Campbell - Yes; ~.
Jackel - No; 5~. Perry - No; hayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with
a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Perry stated that he is not familiar
with 5~. %~ells or his ability to deal in this kind of situation. He
would rather appoint ~. Pitts and P~. Dye.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 77-83:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TH~ CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30 "ZONING" OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLOkIDA, BY
ENACTING A NEW SECTION 30-6.5, CREATIN~ A NEW ZONIN~
DISTRICT TO BE KNOWN AS "R5]-8 (~ULTIPLE FAhILY DWELLING)
DI STRICT"; AMENDING SECTION 30-2 ( C ) "E STABLI SHS~ENT OF
ZONING DISTRICTS" TO INCLUDE THE NEW R~]-8 (hULTIPLE
FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSe;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
~. Perry moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 77-~3 on
First Reading, seconded by 5~. Bird.
Before roll call the following discussion was had on Ordi-
nance No. 77-83 and Ordinance No. 78-83 (Item 35 - Zoning Ordinance
Amendment - Creating a New DiStrict' to be Known as Rh-12 ).
~. Perry questioned the need for another multiple fam~lk
zoning district when they have been generally going towards single
family housing.
- 14 - 10/11/83
Mike 5icDaniel explained that quite a bit of property, which
would otherwise be within the City, now lies in County pockets. A sub-
stantial portion of that area is either zoned R~ or RH by the County
which allows an automatic density of either 8 or 12 units. If a person
can get 12 units per acre in the County versus 10 units per acre in the
City there is not much incentive for that person to annex. The County
has a range of densities whereas the City is limited to either 6, 10 or
15 units per acre. The only alternative the City now has is to either
go to RM-15 or use SAD. He personally prefers not to use bAD and would
rather create a new zoning district and apply it where applicable.
Mr. Bird stated that if the City is trying to bring itsel~
into conformance with the County's densities why are they creating two
new zoning districts and once again locking themselves in. He feels
that with this ordinance and the following one they are continuin9 to
have inflexability. He feels the City may be better following the
County's system.
Mr. 5~cDaniel stated that the system which the County has is
superior; however, they have a much larger staff and are able to use a
more sophisticated technique when reviewin9 plans. They analyse their
plans in terms of traffic impact, etc., in order to meet certain stand-
ards and the higher densities are permitted based on the developers
performance. He feels that he does not have the staff or time to devel-
op that kind of system and implement it.
hr. Bird stated that if they are creating these new zonin9
districts for the purpose of being compatible, to annex new units into
the City and take control of the development and building, they should
have an exactly compatible ordinance to the County's. He feels that
this ordinance and the following one should be reworked and brought back
to Council in conformance with the County zoning.
Kathi Sumrall, Planning and Zoning Board, requested that
Council consider adopting these two ordinances tonight, on first read-
ing, so that the Board has something to work with. They have a com-
mittee which is revising the entire zoning code; at that time they would
look into what is being proposed by 5~. Bird. They have had people come
to them from the County who would like to annex but there is nothing for
the City to offer them.
Mr. Bird stated he feels if they can do an ordinance which
is identical to the County's, in the same amount of time, they wlll have
all the flexability to annex and have the ability to impose a density be
it 6 3/8 or 7.5 as opposed to what they have now which is a straight 6,
10 and 15.
Mr. Bird ~Dved to instruct the City Attorney to redraft the
ordinances provided to Council, for R~-8 and Rh-12, to conform to t~e
County's multi family medium density and multi family high density so as
to give a zoning tool which is identical to theirs, seconded by ~.
Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: 5~. sird - Yes; ~.
Campbell - Yes; 5~. Jackel - Yes; ~. Perry- Yes; hayor Young- Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
36. Ordinance No. 79-83 - Zonin~ Ordinance Amendment - Automo-
~-i~e Sales and Display. Ordinance No. 79-83, amendin9 Chapter 30
"Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances to allow automobile sales and display
as a conditional use in the GC (General Commercial) District, is before
Council for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing
will be held on October 25th. This was approved 4-0 by the Planning and
Zoning Board.
- 15 - 10/11/83
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 79-83:
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 30-11 "GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) DIS~£kIC~''
(N) "SPECIAL REGULATIONS" (1)(a) TO ADD "AUTOhOBILE SALES
AND DISPLAY"; FURTHER AMENDING SECTION 30-11 "GC (GENERAL
COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT" (N) "SPECIAL REGULATIONS" BY ADDING
A SUBSECTION (5)(a) TO ALLOW AUTO~OSILE SALES AND DISPLAY
AS A CONDITIONAL USE WITHIN THE GC (GENERAL COMS~RCIAL)
DISTRICT AS SPECIFIED BY THIS ORDINANCE; PROVIDING A
SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
~. Perry moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 79-~3 on
First Reading, seconded by ~. Bird for discussion.
~. Bird suggested that they amend the ordinance to add
"new" automobile sales and display. He agrees with the Planning and
Zoning Board's concern that they would have more run-down gas stations
turned into used car lots. If they were to amend the ordinance and add
"new" everywhere automobile sales and display was written, he feels they
would have a better ordinance, would have created an opportunity ior
some areas where there is GC zoning and eliminated the possiblity of
used car lots.
Marie Horenbur~er, Planning and ~onin9 Board, stated the
question was brought up as to whether they could enforce this ordinance.
The problem is in determining whether cars on a lot are indee~ used or
new; there are many car lots which sell relatively new cars. She woul~
not like to see new car lots placed all over the City where the ~C
zoning is applicable.
Mr. Bird stated he feels that they have as many new car lots
in the City as they are ever going to have. However, he has some dif-
ficulty in trying to defend the Planning and Zoning Board's thought
process used in paragraph 5 of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that the applicants came before the
Board asking to be rezoned SC and were advised that the whole striF of
land had to be zoned SC. The applicants informed the Board they did not
have time and the other property owners were not interested in being
zoned SC. ~he Board looked for alternatives and thought that this
ordinance would work.
Mr. Campbell stated that he has no ob3ection to the ordi-
nance as it presently reads, and it is a good compromise at trying to
get around a problem in helping some citizens.
5~. Campbell moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 79-~3
on First Reading, seconded by ~. Perry. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: ~. Bird - Yes; 5~. Campbell - No; 5~. Jackel - No; ~.
Perry - No; Mayor Young - No. Said nDtion FAILED by a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the followin~ discussion was had:
~rs. Sumrall stated that she is opposed to this ordinance.
She feels that permitting auto sales in the GC district would open uF
areas, currently zoned GC, which would be inappropriate for such use.
If they permit auto sales as a conditional use there could be tne pos-
siblity of having to allow boat, cycle, lawnmower and truck sales. As an
alternative she suggested rezoning to Specialized Commercial the area
from N.E. 4th Street to N.E. 8th Street west to the FEC ~ailroad and
east to U.S. ~1 southbound.
Robert Feders~iel, representing the applicants, stated that
he would not be opposed to having the property rezoned SC. When th~s
petition came before the P&Z Board they did not have the time to 9o
through the process of applying for SC zoning which is why they are
trying to get a conditional use approval within the GC zonin9.
- 16 - 10/11/83
Mr. Bird suggested that Council approve the ordinance as
presented and then the committee who are going through 'the zoning code
can correct it when the time comes.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Upon question by ~. Campbell, the City Attorney stated that
as far as rezoning this to SC the applicants would have to start again,
file an application and have it processed. ~. Campbell stated that he
cannot see the difference between applying for a conditional use and
applying for SC zoning.
Mr. Federspiel questioned why Council could not request an
amendment to the ordinance to change it to SC and bring it back for
first reading at the next regular meeting. His client would then be
through with the process as he would not have to apply for conditional
use approval.
Mr. Bird stated he feels Council should approve the ordi-
nance as approved tonight and allow the zoning committee to revise it at
a later date.
Mr. hcDaniel stated he personally feels that the entire
parcel of land should be rezoned SC. However, the burden for requesting
a rezoning should be upon the person to whom it is going to benefit.
They have now reached the point where the applicant needs to be able to
move forward with his project and for that reason he would be in favor
that the ordinance before Council be passed.
Mr. Perry moved to reconsider the Iaotion, seconded by ~.
Campbell. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Perry moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 79-83, as
written, on First Reading, seconded by ~. Bird. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: ~. Bird - Yes; Mr. Campbell - Yes; 5~. Jackel - Yes;
~. Perry - Yes; hayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
hayor Young declared the meeting adjourned at 10:57 P.~.
