A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Willard V. Young in the

Council Member Leo A. Blair
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Edward L. Perry
Mayor Willard V. Young
Absent - None
Also present were - City Manager Gordon D. Tiffany, and

2. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Maurice Gaines,
St. John's Primitive Baptist Church.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the special
meeting of April 5, 1982, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Bird moved for item 7 to be moved forward on the agenda
to be the next item of business and to then continue with the rest of
the agenda as printed, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
7. Homewood Boulevard Realignment - Council is to consider
alternatives to improve the intersection of Homewood Boulevard and
Atlantic Avenue. It is recommended that Council make a motion to pre-
.pare plans for the designated realignment of Homewood Boulevard and to
institute the appropriate actions.
Mr. Gerald Church, City Engineer, presented drawings and
descriptions of the four alternative solutions: (1) realignment of
Homewood Boulevard to form a standard 4-way intersection; (2) instal-
lation of an additional traffic signal at Homewood Boulevard as it
presently exists; (3) realignment of Homewood Boulevard to the east to
go through the City's golf course property; and (4) close off Homewood
Boulevard and either put a cul de sac or make it right turns only.
These alternatives were analyzed and the Engineering Department recom-
mends alternative #1 which would provide for a standard 4-way intersec-
tion with one traffic signal with a 70-second cycle controlling the
entire intersection. Kimley Horn, traffic engineers, did another review
and substantiated the findings. They feel it is the safest and most
advantageous of the alternatives and strongly recommend that Council
proceed with it at this time.
Mr. Bird recommended an alternative, similar to alternative
#2, whereby they would install an additional double traffic light. He
presented an outline and sketch of his proposal and stated that the
advantage to this alternative is lower cost, safety and an immediate
solution to the problem. The additional time involved would be about 20
seconds. This system will meet all of the traffic criteria that was
prescribed by Kimley Horn.
Mr. Fred Kanter, Woodlake, spoke in favor of Mr. Bird's
proposal and urged City Council not to spend $275,000 if the job can be
done for $30,000.
Mr. Jack Kellerman, High Point, spoke in opposition of Mr.
Bird's proposal and stated that his concern is the additional stopping
time involved.
Mr. Robert French spoke in favor of the Engineering Depart-
ment's recommendation for a 4-way standard intersection which, he feels,
is the only permanent solution. Public safety is the most compelling
argument to support the realignment.
Mr. Edward Vanis, High Point, spoke in favor of the realign-
ment and urged Council not to make any mistakes. He stated that the
City can afford the extra dollars in order to get the job done right.
Mr. Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, stated that the important
factors involved are lives, money and time. He stated that he has
supported alternative #1 in the past but feels that the cost must be
considered.
Mr. Hugh A. Delfs, High Point, inquired as to what will be
done with the lots left on the East side of Homewood Boulevard if the
City chooses to go with the realignment. He also inquired as to the
exact timing involved in Mr. Bird's proposal and questioned whether this
system would actually improve the traffic flow.
Mr. David Appelbaum, 322 SW 28th Avenue, stated that Century
Village in Deerfield Beach, which has about 12,000 residents, has three
traffic lights within 225 feet of each other working separately to
alleviate traffic. He was informed by a Public Safety employee that the
system is. working out beautifully. It's been proven to work and he
urges Council to show austerity and try this system.
Dr. Birchard Brundage, 311 Homewood Boulevard, expressed
concern over the possibility that those lots will be used for a commer-
cial venture.
Mr. Edward Sirow, High Point, noted that allowing right
turns on red can be a danger to drivers coming out of Homewood Boulevard
and High Point turning right onto Atlantic Avenue. Another danger is
the many drivers who run the yellow caution lights. He stated that
these two factors can lead to accidents if the road is not properly
aligned with the entrance to High Point.
Mr. Blair stated that he is in favor of the realignment and
recommended rezoning the property which the City will acquire to a light
residential use of 6 units per acre or less. Mr. Perry was also in
favor of the realignment. He noted that, with the proposed alternative,
they would be taking the median break at Woodlake and simply moving that
problem down the street. He also noted that residents of First En-
counter would have a problem getting in and out of their property. Mr.
Jackel stated that human life must take precedence over everything else.
He favors the realignment and feels they must take action now. Mr. Bird
advised that the realignment will cost $300,000 or ½ mill of taxpayer
dollars. He feels that the safety aspect of this is being overly drama-
tized and the financial impact is being under dramatized. He will not
support the realignment, not because it is not a good solution, but
because he cannot take on the fiscal responsibility of favoring it.
Mayor Young stated that he, too, is concerned over the City's lack of
money; however, he feels the realignment is the only solution that is
safe and equitable.
Mr. Blair moved to approve the realignment of Homewood
Boulevard, to prepare the plans for same, to authorize the Administra-
tion to begin negotiations and to authorize the purchase of the neces-
sary property, seconded by Mr. Perry. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry -
Yes; Mayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Mr. Blair moved that the property which will be left to the
east of realigned Homewood Boulevard be zoned at a density not to exceed
6 units per acre, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - No; Mr. Perry -
Yes; Mayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Jackel stated that he feels it is too
soon to come to a decision on zoning and for this reason he will vote
against the motion.
- 2 - 04/13/82
Mayor Young declared a recess, the time being 8:00 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 8:05 P.M.
5.b.1. Mayor Young presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the week of April 25 - 30, 1982 as "Florida Architectural Week".
5.b.2. Mayor Young presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the week of April 18 - 24, 1982 as "Victims Rights Week".
5.a.1. Mr. Richard Krob, 3031 Phoebe Lane, advised Council of a
problem regarding the bridge on Audubon Boulevard leading into Bass
Creek. There is a settlement of about 2 inches on the 8 foot approach
of the bridge and a vehicle approaching either end of the bridge causes
a severe impact. There is also the problem of serious erosion under-
neath the approach of the bridge. His concern is that they will eventu-
ally have deterioration of the sub-structure. He recommends overlaying
the deck portion of the bridge with one inch of asphalt and estimates
the cost of 23 tons of asphalt to be $1,000.00. He feel it is impera-
tive that something be done now to correct the situation.
Mr. Bird moved to direct the Administration to review Mr.
Krob's concern and return to Council at workshop with an appropriate
solution, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Krobb advised that there are other bridges in the area
that are deteriorating and recommended that the Administration do a
bridge study.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.b.3. Mr. Blair advised that there will be an Arbor Day Celebra-
tion at the park near the Adult Recreation Center on Saturday, April
24th at 10:00 A.M and all citizens of Delray Beach are welcome.
5.b.4. Mr. Bird moved for the formation of an athletic committee to
be in service for 90 days to advise them on matters relating to team
sports, said committee to be chaired by Bob Chapin and include in its
membership Jeff Hill, Bob Miller, Tom McMurrian, Roger Saberson, Tim
Hunt and Bob Hayes, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
5.b.5. Mr. Bird advised that a suggestion was made to him regarding
a system for beach cleaning in which it can be done routinely on a long
term contractual basis better than the City is doing it now and at less
cost.
It was the consensus of Council to bring this item to a
workshop meeting.
5.b.6. Mr. Bird asked for Council approval to direct the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution supporting the State's resumption of
funding for the 8th Street Bridge, copies to be sent to the City of
Gulfstream. The Mayor of Gulfstream informed him that if they prepared
the resolution, his Council is prepared to take action on it. Council
concurred.
5.c.1. The City Attorney requested that Council authorize his
office to institute appropriate legal proceedings as soon as possible in
order to clarify certain provisions contained in the public records law
relative to certain private documentation.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the City Attorney's office to
proceed as requested, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
5.d.1. The City Manager advised of a change to Item 21 of the
Consent Agenda. The figure should read $23,367 instead of the figure
shown on the agenda.
- 3 - 04/13/82
5.d.2. The City Manager reported that Council is to consider the
acceptance of amendments to five agreements which the City has with
Florida East Coast Railroad. These agreements lease certain properties
along the railroad right-of-way to the City for beautification and other
uses. The Railroad has requested payment of additional fees, for this
year $491.10 and for future years about $750.00 per year, to cover the
Railroad's increased insurance cost for those properties. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Blair moved to approve the amendment to the agreements,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
6. Mr. Bird moved to approve the agenda as amended by the City
Manager, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
8. Rezonin~ - Southwest Corner of the E-4 Canal and the L-32
Canal, (Ignacio Alvarado, applicant). Council is to consider a request
to rezone a 36.8-acre parcel of land from R-1AA to R-iA. The Planning
and Zoning Board approved the request by a 4 to 3 vote.
Mr. George Hero, attorney for the applicant, gave a pre-
sentation, showed a diagram and described the surrounding uses. He
advised that they have met with other property owners to discuss con-
struction of a road. They intend to have 144 units in this site plan
with a lake and park in the center and they are not aiming for high
density. There are two main issues, single homes as opposed to multi-
family homes and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and they feel that
this plan meets those needs. They are planning to build single family
homes and are simply asking for a slight reduction to build the homes at
1000 to 1250 sq. ft. It's difficult to afford a home in today's market;
they plan to produce homes in the price range of $70,000 to $80,000. He
doesn't feel that this neighborhood would support a $125,000 home. They
feel that the area would be better off by having this type of home and
he urges City Council to sustain the recommendation of the Planning &
Zoning Board.
Mr. Adolph Manini, 840-A High Point Boulevard, stated that
he does not think this plan will be an improvement to the area.
Mr. Harold Brown, High Point, was opposed to downgrading.
Mr. Morris Martin, High Point, emphasized that, regardless
of how the Planning & Zoning Board voted on this, the citizens were
against it. He feels that the people are the ones to be considered.
Upon question by Mr. Henry Frye of High Point, Mr. Hero
advised that they have discussed contruction of a road at no cost to the
City.
Mr. John J. Delane¥, 835-D North Drive, spoke in opposition
of the City devaluating this piece of property by rezoning it to R-lA.
He pointed out that High Point is a well run condominium with rules and
regulations to keep it up and stated that he is concerned as to what
they will get across the street from them.
Ms. Phoebe McCarty spoke in opposition of having another
road in the area.
Mrs. Alice Finst 707 Place Tavant, presented a letter put-
ting the Homeowners League of Chatelaine on record as being opposed to
any zoning changes to increase density in the western area of the City
of Delray Beach. She stated that there is a perfect example of R-iA
zoning by the Pine Grove School. Several years ago a developer put up
two R-iA sized houses in their subdivision and it had such an impact on
their community that they came before Council and had the whole subdivi-
sion rezoned to prevent further decrease in their property values.
Upon question by Mr. Tom O'Flynn of High Point, Mr. Bird
replied that First Encounter lies west of the road and will not be
affected by it.
- 4 - 04/13/82
Mr. I~nacio Alvarado, developer, advised that he is as
concerned about property values as anyone and that is one of the reasons
why they are proposing this roadway. He explained the location of the
roadway and noted that the additional density would help them diminish
some of these extra costs. He advised that this property is presently
zoned at R-1AA which means he can go in there and build 125 units. He
is asking permission to build 142 units.
Mr. Blair stated that they covered this subject at workshop
and he still does not see any benefit to the City.
Mr. Blair moved to deny the application, seconded by Mr.
Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Young declared a recess the time being 8:55 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 9:00 P.M.

Mr. Bird moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded
by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
REGULAR AGENDA
27. Vehicles - Police Department. Council is to consider (a)
authorizing retention of two 1979 Fords to replace wrecked vehicles and
(b) authorizing purchase of two CTll0 Honda Motorcycles with funds
available in the 1981-82 budet. The Administration recommends approval.
The City Manager explained that what the Police Department
basically wants is to turn in eight (8) cars and be given credit for the
three (3) wrecks, which makes a total of eleven (11) vehicles, and the
twelfth car would be the replacement for the two (2) motorcycles. He
added that the new Internal Audit Committee will be asked to study and
report to Council on the concept of a motor pool and fleet management,
in general. If they use the motor pool concept in the future, it would
be his intention that the two vehicles they are now retaining be in that
motor pool.
- 8 - 04/13/82
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the recommendation subject to
a review of the City fleet to identify the vehicles to be turned in, if
they need not necessarily be the eight that are turned in by the Police
Department, and subject to the Moped, which he understands was to be
transferred to another City department, being held in abeyance and
returned with some justification for consideration by Council at a
workshop meeting, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimous-
ly.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird stated that they may have some
vehicles out there that are in worse shape and they should get rid of
the worst ones first.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
28. Metropolitan Planning Organization Representative. Council
is to consider appointing a Council Member to serve on the Metropolitan
Planning Organization as a replacement for Council Member Charlotte
Durante.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Mayor Young, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
29. Appointment - Community Appearance Board. Council is to
consider the appointment of one alternate member to the Community Ap-
pearance Board to a term ending August 25, 1983. The Chairman of that
Board has submitted the name of James M. Towery.
Mr. Blair moved to appoint James M. Towery as an alternate
member, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird noted that they recently appointed Mr. Turner to
that Board as a landscape architect and asked how many landscape archi-
tects are needed on the Board. Mr. Blair replied that he believes they
need two. Mr. Bird stated that it was his understanding that they
eliminated a landscape architect and instead added a person in the sign
business. Mr. Bird suggested that they review the membership of that
Board as to who has what qualifications to find out exactly what is
missing.
Mr. Blair withdrew his motion and Mr. Bird his second.
Mr. Bird moved to send this item to the Administration to
resolve and put on the next regular agenda, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said
motion passed unanimously.
30. Ordinance No. 26-82 - Amend Code - Garbage and Trash. Ordi-
nance No. 26-82, amending Chapter 12 "Garbage and Trash" extending the
exemption from City garbage service for High Point and Country Manors
until December 31, 1983, is before Council for consideration on First
