OCTOBER 27, 1981
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:05 P.M., Tuesday,
October 27, 1981, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager
Robert H. Fisk, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
Charlotte G. Durante, Leo A. Blair, and Malcolm T. Bird, present.
Council member James H. Scheifley was absent.
i. The opening prayer was delivered by Mayor Weekes.
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
m~eting of October 13, 1981, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed
unanimously.
4.a.1. Mr. Blair reported that he has a copy of a letter which was
sent to Chief Kilgore from Benjamin Bussin which he would like to read
into the record as follows:
"Dear Chief Charles Kilgore,
I want to take this opportunity to inform you of a
wonderful treatment of a case by your officer, Ben
Baldwin. I had reason to call the Police Department
this past Friday due to a theft of money from my home
between the hours of 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. The police
responded to my call Within a very reasonable time.
Officer Baldwin was assigned to the case. In my opinion
he handled this matter with the greatest of diplomacy
and did nothing to antagonize the suspects. He handled
the interrogation with a great deal of ability and I
feel that only because of his handling this matter was I
able to sustain no loss. I am aware of the fact that
your department very often is subject to criticism and
it is only fair that your department should also be
praised for a job well done. The City of Delray can
very well be proud of a Police Department that is made
up of men with the caliber and ability of Officer
Baldwin.
Very truly yours,
Benjamin Bussin
Certified Public Accountant"
4.a.2. Mr. Blair reported that the Clean-up Campaign is still in
progress. He advised that he had a minor problem with his telephone
lines going on and off and citizens were unable to reach him; hopefully,
this problem will be corrected soon.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante reported that the Town of Palm Beach puts out
an annual report and calendar and each page gives information about the
various departments and the calendar lists city functions, meetings,
recreational activities, election dates, etc.. It also gives a brief
summary of the city's budget. She would like to see the City of Delray
Beach do something similar. The City Manager of Palm Beach is willing
to give them information on how they put it together.
Mayor Weekes suggested that the City Manager look into it
further.
4.c.1. Mayor Weekes presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
Wednesday, November 11, 1981 as "Veterans Day" in Delray Beach. Mr.
Bird accepted the proclamation.
4.c.2. Mayor Weekes presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the period of November 3rd through November 8th, 1981 as "Drug Abuse
~v~n~i~ We~k". M~~. C~w~il ~nd Mrs. Siegel came forward to accept
the proclamation.
184 '
4.c.3. Mayor Weekes presented and read a proclamation proclaiming
the week of November 7-14, 1~81, as "Clean-up Week". At the suggestion
of Mr. Blair the proclamation was given to Sam Portnay to present to the
members of the Beautification.~Committee at their next meeting.
5.a. Mr. David Nathanson spoke on behalf of the Coalition for
Good Government in Delray Beach, Inc., regarding the investigation of
the Public Utilities Department and stated that they heard in today's
news that the final report of the Police Department has been submitted
to the Interim City Manager. They want to know if this report will be
made public, when will the Interim City Manager take action based upon
this report and will his actions be made public.
Mayor Weekes replied that the police report is public record
and whatever action the City Administration takes in regard to this
matter is also a matter of public record. In regard to Mr. Nathanson's
second question, the City Manager replied that, hopefully, it will be by
the end of this week.
6.a.1. The City Manager recommended that Russell & Axon perform the
infiltration study at a cost of $40,000. The infiltration, at this
time, is costing the City about $50,000 a year at the sewer plant.
There are no funds budgeted for this study and he recommends that the
funds be borrowed from the land sales fund and the department pay in-
terest to that fund for the use of that $40,000. Upon question by Mayor
Weekes, the City Manager replied that it would be paid back from the
operating budget in the coming year.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the recommendation of the City
Manager regarding the infiltration study, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager recommended that the use of Audophaus at
the Sewer Plant be extended 60 days.
Mr. Blair moved to accept the recommendation, seconded by
Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimoulsy.
6.a.3. The City Attorney reported that at the last meeting Council
discussed the transfer of two police dogs, "Damean" to Officer Pierce
and "Lobo" to Officer Williams. After discussing this with the insur-
ance consultants they are both of the opinion that the risk to the City
would be minimal and they recommend that Council proceed with the auth-
orization of transfer.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the recommendation, seconded by
Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.4. The City Attorney reported on the agreement with Crosswinds
of Delray, Inc., and stated that they have met with Mr. Radice and have
agreed on some amendments to the agreement as follows: the road im-
provement fee for the agreement will be $200 per multi-family unit and
$300 per single family unit; there is also an amendment that would allow
that the fee would be a credit towards anything due under the County
ordinance; the fee would be paid on a pro rata basis at the time of
issuance of permit, except that after the expiration of one year, in the
event that the County does advertise for bids, notice would be provided
to the Corporation and they would provide the funds for the entire
development within seven days. There is no Council action required at
this time but he may schedule a special meeting next week for specific
authorization.
Mr. Bird moved that item 9.b. be moved forward to be the
next item of business, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
9.b. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on June 15th, recommended by unanimous vote that the
Perry rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment to change the Land Use
Plan designation for a 20-acre parcel of land from SF (Single Family) to
C (Commercial) and rezone from R-1AA (Single Family Dwelling) District
tary Trail and Linton Boulevard, be denied for the following reasons:
- 2 - 10/27/81
185
(1) The change would be contrary to the existing land use
pattern; that being low density residential to high
intensity commercial. This commercial will, in itself,
adversely influence living conditions in the area.
(2) The change would increase traffic and affect public
safety by increasing the traffic volume over what it
would be under the present zoning of R-1AA.
(3) The change would be contrary to the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan, and would have an adverse effect on the Plan
by allowing commercial uses to encroach into the single
family area.
(4) There are no substantial reasons why the property can-
not be used in accordance with existing zoning. Many
Florida communities have single family developments in
close proximity to high volume traffic carriers.
(5) There are other adequate sites in the City that are
properly zoned for such use (i.e., less than two miles
to the north is a very large commercial zoned property
of approximately 2,900,000 sq. ft.; also, approximately
two and one half miles to the east is another piece of
property zoned CC which contains 1,212,500 sq. ft.
Furthermore, on the southwest corner, there is over
120,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area under con-
struction). In addition, the City has a grand total of
approximately 752 acres zoned for commercial use, which
constitutes over 10% of the total land area of the
City, and as such, the City is meeting its commercial
needs.
(6) Any change in zoning to commercial will adversely
affect the health, safety and welfare of the surround-
ing area, and, in turn, the City as a whole.
This item was withdrawn from the September 22nd agenda at
the applicant's request and was to go back to the Planning & Zoning
Board. The applicant has since requested it be rescheduled for Council
consideration at tonight's meeting.
Mr. Martin Perry explained that they are requesting that the
Comprehensive Land Use plan be changed to accommodate a commercial use
on the subject property and they are also requesting a rezoning to CC
(Community Commercial) District.
Mr. Kilday, landscape architect, presented a map and sketch
relating to the project. He stated that they have done an overall study
of the plan, a copy of which has been given to Council members, and he
explained some of the highlights of that study. He discussed the per-
centage of commercial use in the City and noted that the County indi-
cates that this intersection is one of commercial potential. He stated
that a project of this type is essentially called a community center and
he explained what constitutes a community center. Further, he described
the size and location of the project and discussed the competition in
the area.
Mr. Daniel Murray, traffic engineer, gave a traffic report.
He noted that an important consideration is that the proposed site has
adequate frontage to develop a proper access for the ingress and egress
of vehicular traffic. He mentioned that certain road improvements have
already been mandated, such as the four-laning of Linton Boulevard and
the rebuilding of Military Trail; these two improvements will improve
the traffic flow and encourage additional traffic to use this highway
network. He also noted that the current shoppin~area in this vicinity
is all concentrated at the Military Trail/ Atlantic Avenue intersection;
this causes congestion and traffic flow problems.
- 3 - 10/27/81
186
Mr. Joe Price, real estate appraiser, stated that he made a
study of the subject property and there is no question in his mind that
the highest return is produced by utilizing this property as commercial.
Mr. Howard Milhause~, Capital Management Associates, stated
that they designed a questionaire and asked 300 people in the area
questions relating to their shopping needs. Along with that a map was
shown asking people which, of six sites, they would like to have a
shopping center on. The entire survey questionaire was then coded and
put through a computer. Basically, the results showed that convenience.
is the first consideration in deciding where to shop and the subject
corner was ranked first as a viable location for a neighborhood shopping
center.
Mr. Perry noted that on June 27, 1977, City Council overrode
the decision of the City Planning Consultant who, at that time, recom-
mended that commercial be considered at this particular corner. They
are here to ask Council to reconsider this. He discussed future traffic
flow and added that the type of development most amenable to this site
is going to be something other than residential. They have leases and
indications of interest from several businesses which indicates the need
for a shopping center in this location. He thanked the City Council for
giving them the opportunity to make their presentation.
Mr. Doak Campbell, Planning & Zoning Board, explained that
the Board did not agree that additional shopping is required at this
particular site; there are adequate shopping areas being developed
elsewhere in the City to accommodate the growth needs in that area.
They feel that it is important to maintain Linton Boulevard's residen-
tial character.
Mr. Benjamin Bussin stated that his wife was one of the
people who was surveyed. She has written a note which says "when the
survey was taken, at no time was it indicated that a shopping center was
to be constructed at any one particular point". He questions whether
people were aware of the purpose behind the survey. He feels that there
is more than sufficient shopping at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue
and Military Trail and a shopping center is not needed at the proposed
corner.
Mr. Blair moved to sustain the recommendation of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Board, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes noted that when the planner
showed his map of commercial districts, he did not see a district of
commercial zoning on Linton Boulevard of approximately 20 acres lying
just easterly of 1-95.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Weekes declared a five minute recess at this time.
The meeting reconvened at 8:20 P.M.
6.b. CONSENT AGENDA
Mr. Bird moved to pull item 6.b.(7) from the agenda for
workshop, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager reported on the following items to be
considered by Council as the Consent Agenda:
(1) As discussed at the October 20th workshop meeting,

lar member of the Board of Adjustment to a term ending March 15, 1984.

ants, nas requested an increase in their monthly fee since the City has
requested a substantial amount of additional advice and assistance. A
copy of their letter dated October 7th has been provided to Council
members and it is recommended that Alternate II be accepted and that
Council authorize execution of the agreement.

Council is to consider approving E.W. Siver & Associates, Inc., risk
management consultants proposal to rebidding the property/casualty
insurance. Their fee for the preparation of specifications, evaluations
of proposals and recommendations would be approximately $9,000. Ap-

It is recommended that the purchase be made from W. Q. Dowling Fire

this project will come from the surplus of non-expended budgeted funds
from the 1980-81 Federal Revenue Sharing fund.

modifications requested by the Fire Department amount to $970. The
septic tank and drain field have been deleted since the sewer hookup
will be constructed by the Utilities Department and this deletion will
amount to $1,895, therefore the Change Order would decrease the contract
by $925 for a total of $208,680.
(11) The standard Developers' Utility Service Agreement has
been received from Dimentional Builders & Associates, Ltd. for water and
sewer service for Rainberry Bay (northwest quadrant). A check in the

REGULAR AGENDA -~ ~
6.c. The City Manager reported that the following bids have been
received for construction of the Public Works Complex:
Bidder Quotation
World Builders $1,308,800
Pompano Beach
- 6 - 10/27/81
189
Sessoms-Grice Construction Co., Inc. 1,344,441

Sandpiper Engineering & Const., Inc. 1,404,000
Boca Raton
Twin Construction 1,414,141
Pompano Beach
Padula Construction 1,470,000
Ft. Lauderdale
Robert Ackerman Construction 1,609,675
Lake Worth
Mr. Roy Simon, architect, reported that three of the bidders
did not list the number of days for completion and two did not include
the listing of subcontractors. They have subsequently received from the
low bidder the number of days for completion and his list of subcon-
tractors. He is satisfied with the bidding. As far as the buildings
are concerned there may be some areas for reduction if required. It is
suggested that Council make a selection. Council may select the low
bidder and overlook the irregularity of the number of days not entered
with the bid or Council may reject it and move on to one that met the
requirement.
Mr. Bird suggested deferring this decision until Council
decides whether or not they are going to accept contractual trash ar-
rangements and asked if they would jeopardize themselves by delaying
this decision. Mr. Simon replied that the bids are good for 30 days; if
Council delays beyond thirty days, it's possible they may have to go for
rebidding. Council members concurred in that there has not been a big
increase in construction lately. Mr. Simon added that it is possible
that the bidders may hold the bids for longer than 30 days if it appears
the City will award the contract in 45 or 60 days.
The City Manager noted that the bids for garbage and trash
will come in on the same day that the 30 days run out. Mr. Bird sug-
gested modifying the contract. Mr. Simon advised that if Council awards
the contract tonight and in 30 days decides not to build the sanitation
building, that could be handled in the form of a change order.
Mr. Bird moved to refer this issue to the first workshop
meeting in November and to have Mr. Simon ask the contractors if they
will extend the 30 days, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed
unanimous ly.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes stated that construction
prices are stable and he does not think that the City will be hurt by
deferring this; if they have to rebid in 30 or 45 days, they might get
even lower bids.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 72-81, amending
Chapter 9 "Buildings and Construction of the Code of Ordinances relative
to signs and billboards is before Council for consideration on Second

of real property so that they might realign Homewood Boulevard, thereby
delaying Mr. Miller's filing for his final plat, Council did, in fact,
adopt a policy statement that they would extract a recreational fee from
developers. Mr. Bird suggested that they exempt Mr. Miller's project.
