A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, .
August 11, 1981, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager
J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
James H. Scheifley, Charlotte G. Durante, Leo A. Blair, and Malcolm T.
Bird, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Donald M.
Mackay, Cason United Methodist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of July 28, 1981 and special meetings of July 22, 1981 and
August 4, 1981, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimous-
ly.
4.a.1. Mr. Blair stated that he would like for Council to revisit
the issue of County pockets east of Military Trail'to look at County and
City zoning and see what, if anything, they can do to encourage them
into annexation. He requested that this be discussed at a workshop
meeting in September.
4.a.2. Mr. Blair requested that at a workshop in September Council
discuss the issue of long range planning for downtown parking.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante suggested that Council modify the Consent
Agenda in the future to add a sentence after each item showing what the
recommendation is so that the public will know whether Council is ap-
proving or denying each item on the Consent Agenda. Council concurred
with Mrs. Durante suggestion.
4.c.1. Mr. Scheifley stated that a week ago he proposed a straw
vote to be put on the ballot for the upcoming special election. He was
extremely disappointed in the coverage it received in the press. With
the exception of the Miami Herald, the newspapers only listed three of
the eight items that he discussed. It is unfortunate that the public
cannot be informed as to more details.
4.d.1. Mayor Weekes presented and read a proclamation honoring the
Delray Beach National Little League.
Mr. Robert Miller came forward to accept the proclamation;
Mr. Miller introduced the members of the Little League team and the
coaches. Mayor Weekes announced that City Council has seen fit to give
recognition to each of the players on the team in the form of a wind-
breaker.
5.a. Mr. George Bockhold, 555 Banyan Tree Lane, spoke in oppo-
sition of the Old Harbour project. He objects to the use of over four
acres of water as land, which added 60 additional units to the project
and he feels that this plan has a total disregard to open spaces.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that the town of Ocean Ridge is
attempting to renourish their beach; if they do so, it will help
Delray's beach. The efforts of Ocean Ridge to renourish their beach are
being opposed by some, including the South Lake Worth Inlet District
Commission. Ocean Ridge is seeking the support of Delray Beach in this
project. A hearing is to be held in Tallahassee on October 15th and
16th with regard to this question. It is recommended that the City
Council, by motion, give them support in the form of a communication.
Mayor Weekes suggested passing a resolution in support of
this and fowarding a copy of it to whomever is in charge of the hearing.
Mr. Bird asked on what basis the opponents are opposing this project.
Mr. Robert Chapin replied he does not know the exact reasons for the
objections but this is a County project and it is the County that needs
Delray Beach's support at the hearing.

(5) A communication has been received from the Area Plan-
ning Board dated July 31, 1981 requesting A-95 Clearinghouse review and
comment relative to Florida Department of Environmental Regulation
Implementation of the Florida Coastal Management Program. This program
includes protection of natural resources, siting of coastal dependent
facilities and protection of life and property from coastal storms. A
letter dated August 3rd from the City Manager to the Area Planning Board
stated that the program will have no adverse effects on the local natu-
ral, social or economic environment and there is no duplication of
funding between efforts of the proposed program and those of any related
local projects or programs. Council may either concur with the City
Manager's letter or state its disapproval. Approval is recommended.

Mrs. Durante moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution supporting the town of Ocean Ridge's beach renourishment
efforts, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that the Miami Herald ran an
article yesterday saying, among other things, that the infiltration in
the City's sewer system was costing $250,000 a day; this was an error.
He contacted the Miami Herald and they readily admitted the error and
promised to have a correction, or retraction, in today's paper. The
correction article was very small and it took his staff a long time to
find it.
6.a.3. The City Manager requested that items 6.b.2. and 7.b. be
deleted from the agenda.
6.a.4. The City Attorney reported that this item is in regard to a
quit claim deed dated July 30, 1981; it's a deed from the City of Delray
Beach to Banyan Associates, Ltd. The City was to obtain a twenty foot
easement from Banyan Associates, Ltd. and when the Limited Partnership
prepared and recorded the deed, they inadvertently conveyed their whole
project to the City. Upon being advised of the error, the City prepared
and the Mayor executed a deed conveying the property back to Banyan
Associates, Ltd., minus the twenty foot easement. The attorney for
First Federal, who is financing the project, has asked that Council also
ratify and confirm the execution and delivery'of the deed.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify and confirm the execution and
delivery of the deed, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
6.a.5. The City Attorney reported that this item concerns an agree-
ment for water service outside the City limits between the City and Norm
Jackson; it's the City's standard agreement with the exception of some
language. Mr. Jackson has agreed to convey to the City an easement of
approximately 30 feet in width and 196 feet in length. The right-of-way
is being given with the understanding that there will not be a require-
ment for paving the right-of-way during annexation. He and the City
Engineer recommend approval of the agreement subject to the City not
executing the agreement until they have received a Title Certificate, a
Title Commitment, delivery of the deed and an amended easement agree-
ment. The parcel is located just south of the water plant on Lake Ida
Road.
Mrs. Durante moved for the approval of the agreement subject
to the comments made by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.a.6. The City Attorney reported that Resolution No. 69-81, rela-
tive to the straw ballot that was proposed by Mr. Scheifley, is before
Council for consideration.
Mr. Bird suggested taking this to workshop; Mayor Weekes
concurred. Mr. Scheifley stated that if Council will agree, at work-
shop, to increase this upcoming budget by 1/3 mill for these specific
purposes, he will drop his proposal.
The City Manager advised that this item is scheduled for the
regular workshop next Tuesday.
6.b. CONSENT AGENDA
The City Attorney requested that item 10 be removed from the
Consent Agenda for discussion. Mr. Bird requested that item 4 be re-
moved from the Consent Agenda for discussion. Mr. Scheifley requested

Office Plaza for Acquilano, located on the west side of U.S. No. 1 be-
tween Linton Boulevard and S.E. 10th Street, be approved subject to the
Director of Public Utilities' memorandum of July 9th. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, with the
exception of items 2, 4, 6 and 10, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said
motion passed unanimously.
REGULAR AGENDA
6.b.4. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the August
4th workshop meeting, it is recommended that Council, by motion, direct
the notification of developers to the fact that they will be subject to
a fee not to exceed $1,000 per unit for recreational land. When the
formula has been finalized, adjustment will be made in the final assess-
ment. The fee is to be paid before obtaining the building permits. The
policy should be established so the Planning & Zoning Board and the
Planning Department will be able to more fully inform developers with
respect to this planned requirement.
The City Attorney asked if it is Council's intention that as
to any development that has yet to go through site plan, conditional use
and plat approvals, that it would apply to those developments. In other
words, if a development has already gone through those approvals and the
only thing that remains is a building permit, is it Council's intention
that it not apply to that type of development.
- 4 - 08/11/81
111 111
Mr. Bird stated that it was his understanding that they
would be applying this to those units which had not completed the per-
mitting process to a point where they could pull permits and that they
would not be applying it to those who were at the permit stage now. The
City Attorney added that the only exception to that is what Mr. Campbell
mentioned, that if someone has already gone through the approval process
and has had a condition attached to their approval that a recreation fee
was going to be levied, then it should apply to them as well even though
they are at that stage. City Council concurred. The City Attorney
added that the $1,000 fee will be collected prior to the issuance of any
building permit for a project and that it will apply to any multiple
family district and will also apply to hotels and motels.
Mayor Weekes stated that if hotels are going to be charged
$1,000 per room, he is not going to vote in favor of this. He feels
that this is unfair and unwarranted.
Mr. Bird stated that people who come down here for recre-
ation place a higher use on the facilities than those who come here to
live. He questions if it is less fair to apply a fee to someone who has
a home here than somebody whose business it is to sell our recreation.
He doubts that anybody with a recreational facility fails to encourage
people to come and use our beach. Mayor Weekes stated that this is for
acquisition and development of recreational facilities; not maintenance.
If it was a maintenance issue, he would have a different view of it.
Mrs. Durante stated that it seems like a lot to assess a
hotel but when you look at a multi-family development of an equal number
of units, that buyer who is going to be a taxpayer proba-bly would not
use the recreational facilities as much as that one hotel room because
there's a constant changeover in the hotel room. Mr. Scheifley noted
that when you look at a 150 room hotel at $150,000, it seems like a lot
of money. He questions if that is any more a burden to the developer of
the hotel who can divide it up over the years than to a retired senior
citizen couple in a condominium who are going to have to pay $1,000.
Mr. Blair stated that it seems like a lot to him. Mr. Bird noted that
there is some rebate to the hotel for recreational facilities.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the policy as set forth in
the agenda information, modified so that it will apply to all multi-
family districts, to all hotels and motels, to any development that has
not completed conditional use, site and development plan, or plat ap-
proval and will apply even to developments that have completed those
approvals as long as a condition attached to one of those approvals was
that they pay a recreation fee, seconded by Mr. $cheifley. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. $cheifley - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Blair - No; Mr. Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - No. Said motion passed
with a 3 to 2 vote.
6.b.6. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 64-81 provides
for assessment of cost incurred by the City in abating a previously
determined nuisance against certain property, the owner of which failed
to abate such nuisances within the allotted time from date of original
nuisance violation notice. Council may request any further desired
information in lieu of which, and in compliance with Section 13 of the
City's Code of Ordinances, adoption of Resolution No. 64-81 is recom-
mended.
The caption of Resolution No. 64-81 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 13 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, ASSESSING COSTS
FOR ABATING NUISANCES UPON CERTAIN LAND(S) LOCATED WITHIN
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH; SETTING OUT ACTUAL COSTS IN-
CURRED BY THE CITY TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH ABATEMENT AND
LEVYING THE COST OF SUCH ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES; PRO-
VIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR A DUE DATE AND
INTEREST ON ASSESSMENTS; PROVIDING FOR THE RECORDING OF
THIS RESOLUTION, AND DECLARING SAID LEVY TO BE A LIEN
UPON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR UNPAID ASSESSMENTS; PRO-
VIDING FOR THE MAILING OF NOTICE OF LIEN.

(Copy of Resolution No. 64-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Scheifley stated that he feels that Council burdens the
taxpayers with unnecessary expenses; this item is one of them. This is
the case of a lot right across the street from City Hall; it was de-
clared a nuisance and they are going to act tonight to charge the owner
$150 for cleaning it up. He feels sure that the actual cost was twice
that amount. The Code Officer has to go out and inspect the lot; then
he comes back and he has to get a legal address which is provided by the
City Clerk~ Notices and registered letters have to be sent out. If
Council decides it is a nuisance, they have to get bids. There is a lot
of paperwork involved. He suggested that Council instruct the Admini-
stration to get a general breakdown of costs and come up with a more
realistic figure; Council concurred. Upon question by Mr. Bird, Mr.
Scheifley replied that his suggestion would not apply to the nuisance
before them, but for future nuisances.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of Resolution No. 64-81 and to
instruct the Administration to take Mr. Scheifley's remarks under ad-
visement in establishing the cost, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
6.b.10 The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on July 20th, recommended by unanimous vote that the
conditional use for the Seacrest Hotel, located at the northwest corner
of Atlantic Avenue and A1A to allow a 150 room hotel in a five story
structure be approved, subject to:
(a) City Engineer's memorandum of July 15th.
(b) Director of Public Utilities' memorandum of June 24th.
(c) Chief Building Official's memorandum of June 30th.
(d) That the maximum capacity of the meeting room shall
not exceed 120 seats.
(e) That the developer pay to the City, a sum of money to
be determined by the proposed "Park and Recreation
Land Dedication" ordinance, when adopted by City
Council.
(f) A time limitation of 18 months be set for development
of the project.
(g) That the 18 parking spaces located at the southwest
corner of the property be made available to the af-
fected merchants along Atlantic Avenue.
This was discussed at the August 4th workshop meeting. Approval is
recommended.
The City Attorney stated that before this meeting Mr. Walsh
was not aware of the staff conditions attached to this project. As it
is his practice to request of applicants what their position is on the
staff conditions, he requests that Council table this item until the
next regular meeting.
Mr. Robert Eisen, attorney representing the developers,
requested that Council act on this tonight and not table the matter.
They have complied with every reasonable request made by the City and
feel it is unreasonable at this point to delay action. They are 3 to 4
months away from the application for building permits and if Council
lets the normal· process continue and apply, they would probably be
subject to that condition which the City Attorney mentioned.
The City Attorney clarified that it is a policy statement of
the Council that an ordinance is going to be adopted that is going to
require a recreation fee payment. In terms of time frame, this parti-
cular project has been going on for about 1% years and he does not feel
that a two week delay would be an undue delay. It would be well for
them to contact and discuss the staff conditions with their officers; he
would like to know what their position on those are.
- 6 - 08/11/81
113 113
Mr. Bird moved to table this item until the August 25th
meeting, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Mr. Eisen advised that the Walshes will agree to the condi-
tion. Mr. Walsh came forward and stated that he is the Vice-President
of the corporation. Upon question by the City Attorney, he replied that
he is willing to sign a sworn statement to that effect, he is willing to
agree to the condition that they pay the recreation fee prior to the
issuance of building permits and he is in agreement with the other staff
conditions.
The motion to table was withdrawn.
Mr. Bird moved for the approval of the Planning & Zoning
Board's recommendation relative to the conditional use for Seacrest
Hotel subject to the conditions set forth, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.c. The City Manager reported that Council should designate, by
motion, the City's voting representative for the Florida League of
Cities Convention to be held in Orlando, October 22nd, 23rd and 24,
1981.
Mr. Bird moved to designate Mayor Weekes, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a public hearing has been
scheduled for paving S.E. 1st Avenue between S.E. 8th Street and S.E.
9th Street. Resolution No. 54-81 ordering the paving of S.E. 1st Avenue
was adopted by Council at the July 14th meeting.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed.
The City Manager reported further that Florida Power & Light
Company owns property on one side of the project in question. The other
side is privately owned and can. be assessed in the normal manner. It is
his understanding that they can make the assessment, estimated at $7,762,
against FP&L by terms of the franchise agreement that that amount will
be deducted from Florida Power & Light Company's franchise payment to
the City.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the project, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 56-81, amending
Chapter 9 "Buildings and Construction" of the Code of Ordinances rela-
tive to adding vehicular signs to the list of prohibited signs is before
Council for consideration on First Reading. Council, at the July 21st
workshop meeting, directed the City Attorney to prepare the ordinance.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 56-81:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 9, "BUILDINGS AND CON-
STRUCTION'', ARTICLE VIII, "SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS", OF THE

TO CLARIFY DEFINITION OF VEHICULAR SIGNS; PROVIDING A
SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Durante felt unclear as to which vehicular signs fall
into this category. Mr. Scheifley noted that there is a car parked on
the east side of South Federal Highway with a sign on it that looks like
a tent; it says auto repair and the car is inoperable with the sign on
it. He thinks that that is the type that is intended in this ordinance.

Before roll call the following discussion was had: Upon
