5.a.1. Mr. John Donovan, 1515 Gallinule Drive, advised Council that
he has been asked by the Homeowners Association and the citizens of Bass
Creek to address them tonight concerning the conditions on the Dunlin
and Hungerford Canals. A petition has been submitted and they are
requesting that action be taken to abate the nuisances caused by these
canals.
Mr. David Posey, Vice-President of the Homeowners Associ-
ation, commented on the concern of the homeowners regarding their prop-
erty values.
Mr. James Dea.r_~ presented some photographs of the conditions
of the canals and spoke regarding the infestation caused by the aquatic
overgrowth. He feels that it is dangerous for both children and pets in
the area due to the alligators and snakes which can no longer be seen
because of this growth. They are requesting that Council consider making
the maintenance and cleaning of these canals a budgeted item and to do
it as soon as possible before something serious happens.
Mayor Young requested that this item be put on the next

5.a.2. Mr. Tom McMurrian, on behalf of himself and Paulette Burke,
thanked the Council and the City for the support given to them during
the Delray Affair.
5.a.3. Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, requested that item 26
be removed from the consent agenda.
5.a.4. Mr. Leo Fox, 102 S. Swinton Circle, expressed the concern of
the residents on S. Swinton Circle regarding the storms which have
caused considerable flooding in this area, and requested some assurance
from Council that this situation is not going to repeat itself. He
stated that they were informed that monies have been alloted for elimi-
nating the drainage problem and they are before Council to inquire when
they can expect to see something tangible done. The City has been aware
of this problem since 1973, and he implores Council to take whatever
steps are necessary to solve it.
Mayor Young stated that the residents of Swinton Circle have
the sympathy of the entire Council and they are aware of the problem in
that area. The Engineering Department has followed it through and he
has asked that Mr. Gerald Church, City Engineer, give a status report.
Mr. Church stated that he has spoken with the County and the latest
update is that they expect to receive bids for this project on May 18th.
This means that they should be able to award a contract within a month
and have the work started in July.
Mayor Young stated that what concerns him is that Florida
will soon be into the wet season and he asked that Mr. Church expedite
this matter in every possible way.
Upon question by a member of the public, Mr. Church advised
that the Fire Department has a water pump that they will attempt to use
to relieve the flooding during the interim period.
Mr. Ray Ricker, 13 Swinton Circle, stated that the length of
time the water takes to drain away indicates that there is a definite
problem with the drainage. He stated that the residents of the area
were constantly informed that the money for this project had been budg-
eted. He does not feel that it is moving fast enough and asked that
Council declare an emergency, do away with the regular bidding process
and get the work started as soon as possible. He asked that Mayor Young
accompany him to the West Palm Beach Commission meeting to see if they
can also expedite this matter with the County.
Mayor Young stated that they cannot cut down the limit of
the adjudication of the letting of the contracts; however, Council, with
the assistance of Mr. Church, will take every action possible to alle-
viate the problem.
Mrs. Jean James, 10 Swinton Circle, stated that they had
never experienced any problem with flooding until the City came and
raised Swinton Avenue and surrounding areas. She asked how the City
plans to eliminate the water from Swinton Circle.
Mr. Church explained what the designed project consists of
and how the drainage pipes will work. He stated that he is prepared and
has some detailed plans in his office for anyone interested in seeing
them.
Mr. David Gottschall, 103 N.E. 18th Street, advised that
they also have a problem with water in his area.
The City Engineer and the concerned citizens left the meet-
ing to view the plans in his office.
Mayor Young declared a recess, the time being 7:35 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 7:40 P.M.
5.b.1. Mayor Young advised that it has been requested that item 33
be removed from the regular agenda and put on a workshop agenda.
5.b.2. Mr. Blair advised that due to the weather conditions at last
Saturday's Arbor Day Celebration, the Parks and Recreation Department
and the Beautification Committee are planning to have another Arbor Day
Celebration this Saturday, 9:00 A.M. at the Adult Recreation Center.
5.b.3. Mr. Perry inquired as to the status of the electrical work
to be done at the Marina. The City Manager replied that, since Mr.
Church is not available to respond he would direct a memo to Mr. Perry
with the answers.
5.b.4. Mayor Young presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the month of May, 1982 as "American Businesswomen's Association Scholar-

Mr. Bird stated that at the time of workshop for this parti-
cular item there was concern about the bridge over the L-32 Canal as to
its construction. It was agreed that it should be open framework and
not provide any impediment; also that the fill at the berm should be
retained so as to provide some screening. He requested that these
additions be included in the motion.

with the additions if not already a part of the record, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.

District to SAD (Special Activities) District, and conditional use and
site and development plan approval to allow an Adolescent Residential
Facility, as approved by the Planning & Zoning Board with a 4 to 1 vote
(Christensen dissenting).
The City Attorney explained that this is on the agenda for a
motion on behalf of the Council to instruct the City Attorney's Office
to prepare an ordinance. Since it is an SAD zoning request it has to be
in ordinance form for first reading.
- 11 - 4/27/82

prepare the ordinance, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.

plan approval extension until June 11, 1983. Approval is recommended.

ing into an agreement with Kelton and Associates to conduct a dual
taxation study and (2) appropriating up to $15,000 for a dual taxation
study. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Perry moved to approve the recommendation, seconded by
Mr. Blair.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, the City Manager advised that the
$15,000 would be available in the Contingency Fund Account. The City
Attorney suggested that this be made part of the motion.
Mr. Perry amended his motion to include the funding source
would be from the General Fund Contingency Account, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
A2. County Special Exception Petition 82-66 Council is to
consider Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation ~y a 7 to 0 vote that
a letter be sent to the County Planning Commission objecting to this
petition since it is in violation of the City's Land Use Plan.
Mr. Doak Campbell, Planning & Zoning Board member, advised
that there is pending before the County Planning & Zoning Board a peti-
tion to allow a conditional use for a flea market. They feel that the
location of the site is not an appropriate place to have this market and
recommend denial of the request.
Mr. Perry moved to sustain the recommendation of the Plan-
ning & Zoning Board, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird suggested that photographs be
taken of North Federal Highway and that either a member of Council or
City staff present the photographs with the letter to express Council's
concern regarding traffic congestion and safety.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
32. Mrs. Schwartz spoke in opposition to the South County Drug
Abuse Foundation. She feels that having an adolescent residential
facility on Southridge Road will lower their property values. Her con-
cern is that these children will not be supervised day and night and
they will make trouble for the surrounding families and their homes.
Mayor Young explained that this item has already been dealt
with earlier in the meeting and suggested that Mrs. Schwartz present her
speech next time it comes before Council.
A3. County Special Exception Petition 82-76. Council is to con-
sider Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation that a letter be sent to
the County Planning Commission objecting to this petition since it is in
violation of the City's Land Use Plan.
Mr. Doak Campbell, advised that the Planning & Zoning Board
felt that the location of the proposed commercial rental lot was not
very appropriate. It would be situated on La Mat Avenue which is the
main entrance used for Tropic Bay.
- 12 - 4/27/82
Mrs. Marion MacLeod, advised Council of the previous re-
quests the applicants have made and which have been denied by both the
County's Planning & Zoning Board and the City's. The location of the
lot is on the corner of La Mat Avenue and Federal Highway and causes
many problems for the residents in the area due to the heavy traffic
flow. The cars are parked not only on the lot but have extended out
onto the street.
Council questioned why this item is on the agenda as being
in violation of the City's Land Use Plan since the subject property is
located in a County zoned area.
Mr. Mike McDaniel, Planner, explained that the City has two
different maps; one is a zoning map and the other is the land use map.
The land use map designates land uses for all of the areas within the
Delray Beach planning area, incorporated as well as unincorporated.
Although this piece of land is unincorporated it does violate the land
use map. The City anticipates annexing this property some day and they
do not want to find a car dealership in an area which has been tentati-
vely zoned for multiple family residences.
Mr. Perry felt that the zoning map does not clearly indicate
the zoning for areas contiguous to the subject property.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Board, seconded by Mr. Blair. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry -
No; Mayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
· Mayor Young declared the meeting adjourned at 8:55 P.M.
