01-14-80 JANUARY 14, 1980
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., Monday,
January 14, 1980, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager
J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
Malcolm T. Bird, Charlotte G. Durante, James H. Scheifley, and Willard
V. Young, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend M.M. Gaines,
S--~. John's Primitive Baptist 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 December 10, 1979, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed
unanimously.
4.a.1. Mayor Weekes presented a proclamation declaring January 21st
through January 26, 1980 as "Safety Week".
4.a.2. Mayor Weekes reported that today Aqua Crest Pool at the
Atlantic High School site was dedicated. It was the culmination of many
years of work by a lot of interested citizens and a cooperative effort
by various levels of government including the municipalities of Delray
Beach, Boynton Beach, the Palm Beach County School Board and the Palm
Beach County Commission. It is the most magnificent facility of its
kind that he has ever seen; the pool holds 570,000 gallons of water.
5. Reverend Semmie Taylor stated that he has been traveling and
his reason for appearing before Council at this time is that in his
travels, especially in the Virgin Islands, he found people are being
very much infiltrated with communism concepts. He feels that they can,
in many ways, do something to bridge a gap between this farce that has
been created in the minds of many minorities all over the world.
Reverend Taylor stated futher that tomorrow is Dr. Martin
Luther King's birthday. Every year recognition of his birthday is in-
creasing. At this time they would like to request the City, which has a
beautiful relationship with the minorities here, to consider a workshop
and a feasibility study of the possibility of this City recognizing
Martin Luther King's birthday as a holiday.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that a resolution was passed by
the SCRWTD Board at a recent meeting authorizing the conversion of
existing construction funds to operating capital. It is before Council
for ratification consideration; it is Resolution No. 1-80.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify Resolution No. 1-80 of the SCRTWD
Board, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager submitted to council a copy of the traffic
study report of the Bridge Restaurant and the vicinity. This study was
requested by Council in December.
6.a.3. The City Manager reported that copies of the $1,390,000
General Obligation Bond Issue resolution were received today.
The City Attorney reported that this is the resolution
authorizing the General Obligation Bonds and he asked Council to pass a
motion adopting this resolution, Resolution No. 7-80.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 7-80:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT EXCEEDING
$1,390,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, TO FINANCE THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION
OF VARIOUS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA; FIXING THE FORM AND OTHER DETAILS OF SAID
BONDS AND PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND IN-
TEREST THEREOF.
(Copy of Resolution No. 7-80 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mrs. Durante moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 7-80,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; MrS. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes;
Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
6.a.4. The City Manager reported that late last week he received a
letter from the Overland Construction Company regarding the addition of
another story to the Executive Mall office building. The reason for the
letter is that they need to use a portion of the City's parking lot,
which is adjacent to the Executive Mall, to locate a crane on for the
period from January 16 through January 25th. It is recommended that
Council authorize the City Attorney's office and the Administration to
draft an Agreement for execution by the City and contractor and/or owner
of the Executive Mall giving permission for use of a portion of the
City's parking lot.
Mayor Weekes informed Council that he has had some discus-
sion about this with the owner and the Administration and there is no
way that they can construct without utilizing part of the parking lot
for that crane.
Mr. Young moved to give them permission to use a portion of
the City's Parking lot for storage of their crane in accordance with the
Administration and City Attorney's agreement, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.5. The City Manager reported that this item concerns City-owned
property on the beach known as the Lohrman property that has been dis-
cussed from time to time for posSible use as a branch post office. Mr.
Young asked that it be brought up tonight for Council consideration.
Mr. Young stated that this matter was brought before the
Council some time ago and there was one problem in that the residents of
Jardin Del Mar were against the proposal of establishing a branch post
office on that property. It was the request of Council at that time
that the Beach Property Owners Association meet with the owners of
Jardin Del Mar in order to clear up the matter and get their approval of
it. This has been done. The reason he asked that this be brought up
tonight is that originally they had an informal approval of renting that
land to the Post Office Department for one dollar ($1) a year and he
would like to see that made into an official action.
The City Attorney informed Council that before the property
is used for a post office, there is going to be some amendment necessary
in the Zoning Code to permit it.
Mr. Young stated that the time frame is rather short. The
Beach Property Owners have done a considerable amount of work in con-
tacting the Post Office Department, locally as well as in Palm Beach and
Jacksonville in order to get their concurrence with the plans that they
had for establishing a branch Post Office east of the Intra¢oastal.
Now, they have asked that the City give them a letter stating that the
Council is in accord with the approval of renting the land for one dolla~
a year.
Mrs. Durante suggested sending it to the Planning & Zoning
Board to consider the zoning and then getting the City Attorney to work
on the lease.
Mr. Bird suggested authorizing the City Attorney to contact
the Post Office giving them the consensus that Council is in agreement
to execute a lease and let the City Attorney work out the details.
Mrs. Betty Matthews stated that this has already been before
the Planning and Zoning Board and the decision of the Board was that
there was no need for any rezoning since it is public property and the
City Council could designate any use~for it.
- 2 - 1/14/80
The City Attorney replied that it used to be the law that
public uses were exempt; that is no longer true since the Comprehensive
Planning Act was adopted. So, the zoning of that land must be consis-
tent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations.
Mr. Bird moved that the City Attorney be instructed to con-
tact the appropriate authorities at the Post Office and express to them
the consensus of this Council that they are agreeable to such an act and
to work out the details of the lease and bring it back to Council for
final consideration and that the Administration be instructed to submit
this matter to the Planning and Zoning Board for their consideration,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.6. The City Manager reported that this item is the acceptance
of $166,500 from the DER in Tallahassee in connection with the beach
program, the sand search, the vegetation and the reef monitoring. It is
requested that Council consider passing a motion at this time author-
izing the City to enter into the appropriate agreement with DER. Copies
of the agreement have been reviewed by the City Attorney's office.
Mrs. Durante moved for execution of the agreement between
the City and DER, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
6.a.7. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 80-79 is before
Council for'consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. This ordinance,
if passed, will annex the Duvall/Chua property into the City. This is
the property that has provided an easement in which to locate drainage
facilities to serve High Point and the vicinity.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 80-79:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ANNEXING TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
PARCELS OF LAND LOCATED IN SECTION 13, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH,
RANGE 42 EAST AND SECTION 18, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH, RANGE 43
EAST, WHICH LANDS ARE CONTIGUOUS TO EXISTING MUNICIPAL
LIMITS OF SAID CITY; REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID
CITY TO INCLUDE SAID LANDS; PROVIDING FOR THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF SAID LANDS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE ZONING
THEREOF.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 80-79 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance. 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.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 80-79 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley -
Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Scheifley stated that when this originally came up, he voted against it
because there was a zoning problem involved. There was no question in
his mind that there was an urgent need for this at High Point because of
the severe damage they've suffered due to flooding. In his original
votes protesting the way in which it was done, he thought it could be
done in other manners; however, being in complete concert with the
purpose of this, to demonstrate his cooperation in this endeavor, he
will vote in favor of it.
Mrs. Durante added that both she and Mr. Scheifley made it
very clear as to why they voted against this; it's the rezoning issue
that bothers her; however, in order to make it unanimous, she plans to
support it tonight.
- 3 - 1/14/80
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
The City Manager stated that that is all he has at this time
but there is an item they may need to come back to later.
6.b. The City Manager reported that as discussed at workshop on
several occasions, it is recommended that Council set 600 as the maximum
number of memberships at the Delray Beach Country Club.
Mr. Bird moved that they set the maximum number at 600 for
memberships at the Delray Beach Country Club, seconded by Mr. Young.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.6. The City Manager asked Council to go back to the DER ques-
tion. The City Attorney suggested that the Administration may want to
request and the Council may want to acquiesce to authorize the Admini-
stration to seek the services of an engineer pursuant to the Competitive
Negotiations Act to do the work required under the DER contract.
Mr. Bird moved that they proceed through the Competitive
Negotiations Act and employ an engineer, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.c. The City Manager reported that as discussed at workshop on
January 7th, it is recommended that policy be established to not renew
Non-Resident memberships at the Delray Beach Country Club when residents
are on a waiting list to become members, it being understood that Non-
Resident members at the time of City purchase of the club who were
"grandfathered" in by their purchase of memberships in April, 1979 may
renew their memberships.
The City Manager added that there are two alternatives
available at this time and either one would be satisfactory. He sug-
gested that they either table this for the time being and bring it back
to Council in time to have it considered within the time it has to be
or, if Council wants to act on it tonight, he would suggest leaving off
the second part of the recommendation and deciding that question at a
later date.
Mr. Scheifley stated that the Administration's second sug-
gestion would be the wise one to take. He believes it's all agreed that
those Non-Residents who joined the Country Club after July 1st will be
phased out. The only question which may be debatable would be those who
were "grandfathered" in April, about 9 or 10; they were the people who
belonged to the Club when the City bought it on February 1st and some of
them are long time members so they allowed those 9 or 10 to come in. He
suggests leaving that question open and passing a motion phasing out all
the Non-Residents who joined after July 1st. He favors tabling con-
sideration of the 9 or 10 who joined in April because as of 5:00 P.M.
today, there were 62 people on the waiting list wanting to join the
Delray Beach Country Club and also, they have until April 1st to decide
this question.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the Non-Resident memberships at the
Delray Beach Country Club for those members who joined after July 1,
.1979, not be renewed, seconded by Mr. Young.
Mr. Bird stated that he would like to see the motion amended
to state "not be renewed providing there is a resident seeking to join".
Mr. Scheifley accepted the amendment to his motion, seconded
by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mr. Scheifley moved to table the question of those who
joined in April for consideration by Council some time prior to April
1st, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 4 - 1/14/80
6.d. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the January
7th workshop meeting, it is recommended that a licensed Resort Facility
membership classification be established at $400 per annum which will
permit the facility guests to play at the residential greens fees rate,
with the resort facility being billed for same.
Mr. Young moved that they go along as discussed at the
January 7th workshop meeting to recommend that a licensed Resort Faci-
lity membership classification be established at $400 per annum which
will permit the facility guests to play at the residential greens fees
rate, with the resort facility being billed for same, seconded by Mr.
Bird.
Mr. Bird asked if $400 would permit a resort facility the
size of the Spanish River Inn to allow all of their guests the privilege
of playing at resident's rates. He submitted that if there is not a
limit on this, he would like to see a limit. To grant a unit of that
size unlimited play for all of their members for a cost of $400 is in-
equitable.
The City Manager added that the four playing card limitation
applied only to option #1 which was not decided upon by Council; it does
not apply to option #2.
Mr. Scheifley asked Mr. Bird what he thinks would be a
reasonable number? Mr. Bird replied $400 for four; that's not for one
foursome because those cards could be used twice in one day and that's
for a year.
Mr. Ken Ellingsworth stated that in their discussion, it
seems to him that this four might have applied to both cases. Mr.
Fonseca stated that that is correct.
Mr. Young amended his motion to add four passes a day,
seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Bird asked if they should allow large developments to
buy multiple cards. Council agreed to that and Mr. Bird suggested they
amend the motion again to indicate that there are multiples available.
Mr. Ellingsworth stated that they might want to put a limit on that too.
Mr. Young amended his motion to add that there are multiples
available with a limit of two, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr.
Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
6.e. The City Manager reported that the County tentatively plans
to include the following projects in the Delray Beach area in a pro-
jected general obligation bond issue:
1. Congress Avenue - Construct 4 lanes from Yamato Road to Lantana
Road.
2. Military Trail - Construct 4 lanes from Linton Boulevard to Lake Ida
Road.
The administration recommends seeking the addition of the following pro-
jects, listed in priority order:
3. Lake Ida Road - Construct 4 lanes from Federal Highway to Military
Trail.
4. Linton Boulevard - Construct 4 lanes from Congress Avenue to Mili-
tary Trail.
- 5 - 1114180
Mrs. Alice Finst expressed her opposition at the January 7th workshop
meeting to 4-1aning Lake Ida Road past Chatelaine, where she lives,
because of the noise the traffic would generate, but seemed to be agree-
able to having it 4-1aned between Federal Highway and Congress Avenue.
People also live in the vicinity of this portion of Lake Ida Road. A
gentleman at the meeting, who said he also lived in Chatelaine, indi-
cated he would rather have Linton 4-1aned than Lake Ida Road.
The City Manager stated further that there are several
different kinds of committees working on this. He had a call from John
Grant whose engineering office is located in Boca Raton. Mr. Grant
advised him that he had been designated as Chairman of the Technical
Committee and he is expecting a call tomorrow morning informing him what
the Council does tonight. He (City Manager) informed Mr. Grant that
Council had discussed it at workshop and that it would be on the agenda
for Council to consider formal action at tonight's meeting. The County
Commission plans to take some action with regard to the bond issue pro-
jects tomorrow.
Mr. Bird stated that he would concur with the Administration
with regard to the need for the two areas which are reflected, but he
thinks that to consider Lake Ida Road as being a higher priority than
Linton Boulevard would be to ignore the bridge which would be on the
east end of Linton Boulevard. As a traffic generator, Linton Boulevard,
in his opinion, is going to become a far more heavily traveled road than
Lake Ida Road. The majority of traffic traveling Lake Ida Road seems to
turn on Congress Avenue.
Mayor Weekes asked Mr. Bird if he is suggesting that they
add both of them but put Linton Boulevard as a priority? Mr. Bird
replied, yes, but he is not sure that he agrees with the entire length
of Lake Ida Road.
Mr. Scheifley stated that regardless of how they turn them
in, he thinks that the rationale that Mr. Bird presented was so con-
vincing and logical that the Committee, the County, the State and every-
body will do Linton Boulevard before they do Lake Ida Road because of
the investment they have in the bridge, because of 1-95 and because it's
a major traffic artery. He agrees with Mr. Bird that they should do
Linton Boulevard before Lake Ida Road.
Mrs. Durante stated that she agrees that Linton Boulevard,
with the opening of the bridge, would have more traffic generated on it
than Lake Ida Road. Regardless of whether or not they want Lake Ida
Road to be a major road, it already is. If they're talking about put-
ting things in order, she thinks that Linton Boulevard would naturally
be considered before Lake Ida Road.
Mrs. Durante added that with Congress Avenue going from
Yamato Road to Lantana Road, all of Delray Beach is covered. In working
on the Area Planning Board and the MPO, they always talk in terms of
roads in and out of city lines. She would like to add to Military Trail
from the Boca/Delray line to the Boynton/Delray line rather than stop-
ping at Linton Boulevard and having a traffic congestion there.
Mayor Weekes stated that he has to agree with everything
that Mrs. Durante said as to Military Trail and as to Lake Ida Road.
Whether they like it or not, Lake Ida Road is terribly congested and
there is presently a shopping center being constructed at the corner of
Lake Ida Road and Congress Avenue and another one underway. While it is
true that today it is a residential street, it will generate commercial
traffic going in and out of the shopping centers in the future.
In response to a question from the audience regarding Lake
Ida Road, Mayor Weekes stated that they have to get it into this bond
issue or they may not get another opportunity in the next 10 or 15 years
to do anything with it. It'll probably be six or seven years down the
road before this is completed.
- 6 - 1/14/80
Mrs. Alice Finst asked if just because they are 4-1aning
that road, does it have to be a major artery or can it be a 30 mile
zone, no trucks, residential? Mayor Weekes replied that it is a good
question but he doesn't know the answer to it. By the time that road is
4-1aned, she won't have to worry about concrete trucks going down there
because the construction will all be over. They're talking about maybe
eight years before this is done; in the order of priorities, this is
going to be a very low priority.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Council concur with the Admini-
stration's recommendation to seek the addition of the two projects
requested for the $250,000,000 bond issue, Lake Ida Road - construct 4
lanes from Federal Highway to Military Trail and Linton Boulevard -
construct 4 lanes from Congress Avenue to Military Trail, seconded by
Mr. Young.
Mrs. Durante asked that they add an amendment to extend the
4-1aning of Military Trail to the Boca line and the Boynton line.
Mr. Scheifley amended his motion to add that the 4-1aning of
Military Trail extend from the Boca/Delray city line to the Boynton/
Delray city line, seconded by Mr. Young.
Mr. Bird stated that he would like to see the motion further
amended to give priority to Linton Boulevard over Lake Ida Road.
Mr. Scheifley further amended his motion to give Linton
Boulevard first priority in the addition and Lake Ida Road second,
seconded by Mr. Young. Said amended motion passed unanimously.
6.f. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council authorize the execution of a 10-foot easement deed at S.W. 10th
Street and S.W. 10th Avenue on City owned property. The 10-foot by
20-foot parcel would be used by Southern Bell to place a telephone
terminal box.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the execution of a 10-foot
easement deed at S.W. 10th Street and S.W. 10th Avenue on City owned
property, a parcel to be used by Southern Bell to place a telephone
terminal, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.g. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Coun-
cil authorize the execution of a 12-foot easement deed at Lake Ida Road
and N.W. 4th Avenue on City owned property. Due to the anticipated
growth from the Isle of Delray Subdivision, Southern Bell expects to
reenforce and/or replace a cable buried under and through this area.
This easement will also allow other utility companies to use this ease-
ment for communication or electrical transmission lines.
Mr. Bird moved that Council authorize the execution of a
12-foot easement deed at Lake Ida Road and N.W. 4th Avenue on City owned
property for the use of Southern Bell, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.h. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Coun-
cil authorize the execution of a 10-foot electrical easement deed to
Florida Power & Light to provide electricity to energize lighting for
regulation Little League ball field in Miller Park. This 10-foot ease-
ment in no way affects any other phase of Miller Park, and will also
provide any other electricity needed to complete the remainder of the
lighting system.
Mrs. Durante moved for the execution of the 10-foot elec-
trical easement deed to Florida Power & Light to provide electricity to
energize lighting for Miller Park Little League ball field, seconded by
Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.i. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Coun-
cil approve execution of the 5th Year Community Development Program
Sidewalk Project between the City and Palm Beach County pursuant to the
November 28, 1979 letter regarding same from the County Community De-
velopment Agency.
- 7 - 1/14/80
Mrs. Durante moved for the execution of the 5th Year Com-
munity Development Program Sidewalk Project between the City of Delray
Beach and Palm Beach County, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.j. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on January 7th, Council is to consider a proposal for the City
and Palm Beach County to participate in a corridor study for Davis Road
which will involve aerial photographs, with the engineering to be ac-
complished by the City and the County. Estimated cost for the aerial
photographs is $4,000, to be shared equally by the City and the County,
since Davis Road is in both the City and the County.
Mr. Bird moved that the City enter into a joint effort with
Palm Beach County for a corridor study for Davis Road which would in-
volve aerial photographs and engineering at an estimated cost of $4,000,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.k. The City Manager reported that if Council is ready to do so,
consideration may be given to the appointments of two alternate members
to the Financial Advisory Board to two-year terms expiring April 12,
1982. Messrs. Alvin Doherty and William Bathurst have resigned as
alternate members of the Board. Three names have been mentioned from
time to time; Ron Sanson, Charles Soelch and Nelson Reeves.
Mr. Bird asked if any of them are currently serving on any
other Board. The City Manager replied that Mr. Sanson is the only one
who is.
Mr. Young stated that both of the men that he has recom-
mended have had a tremendous amount of budgetary experience and one of
them, although retired, still retains that capacity. The other one, Mr.
Nelson Reeves, is presently Vice-President Comptroller in charge of
finance for the First Federal Savings & Loan of Delray Beach. He per-
sonally feels, knowing both of these gentlemen, that they are both
qualified and would like to see them appointed by Council to the
Financial Advisory Board.
Mr. Young moved that Nelson Reeves and Charles Soelch be
appointed as alternate members of the Financial Advisory Board, seconded
by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - No; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mrs.
Durante stated that Mr. Sanson has expressed an interest in serving on
that Board and the creation of this Board was Mr. Sanson's idea. She
would like to see him get the honor of serving on the Board. The City
Manager stated that he is already on a Board, the Beautification Com-
mittee. Mr. Bird stated that they have generally said one Board to a
person. Mr. Young stated that he spoke to Mr. Sanson on Thursday and
Mr. Sanson expressed a preference to be appointed to the Code Enforce-
ment Board if the opening was available.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he will be compelled to vote
against the motion unless Council votes for each man separately. Mrs.
Durante stated that based on the fact that Mr. Young said that Mr.
Sanson is interested in another Board, she will vote in favor of the
motion but otherwise she would support Mr. Sanson for this Board. Mayor
Weekes stated that on the same rationale as Mrs. Durante just expressed
with regard to Mr. Sanson, he will vote in favor of the motion.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.1. The City Manager reported that Council may consider making
appointments to the Code Enforcement Board if the names of candidates
satisfactory to Council are presented. The law calls for the appoint-
ment of five persons to serve as members; a business person, an archi-
tect, an engineer, a general contractor and a realtor. They were able
to get three of those slots filled tentatively on paper: the realtor -
Bill Plum is agreeable to serving if appointed; the general contraCtor -
Armand Mouw is willing to serve if appointed and he is a member of
another Board now so he would resign from that Board; the engineer -
Oral C. Craft is agreeable to serving if appointed. Those three all
qualify under the terms of the ordinance.
- 8 - 1/14/80
The City Manager stated further that now they come to the
architect and the business person. The architect slot is a most diffi-
cult one in obtaining a local architect who is willing to serve and is
not already serving on a City Board. Ken Jacobsen is the only architect
that the Building Inspection Department has been able to contact; he
said he would be willing to serve but they don't know how long he would
be willing to serve before he would want to be relieved. Now they come
to the business person and the name that was submitted to him for con-
sideration is Nancy Murphy; she owns Ernie's on the beach. She and her
husband, Frank, who died a short time ago, were in the building con-
struction business for 25 to 30 years and she as well as Frank was
active in that business. She is qualifed to be the business person.
Mr. Bird stated that he would like to suggest a couple of
other names of people who have agreed to serve if appointed; the first
is Norma Simon who is senior officer of the First Federal and who would
also be another consideration as a female member of the Board. He would
like to also request that they poll their retired community for some of
the other professional memberships; it's an unreasonable burden to put
on their few professionals in the architect field, for example, that
almost every one of them has to serve on a Board in the City because
there just aren't enough of them to go around. He concurs that Mr.
Sanson, if he is available, would also make a superb possible candidate;
he has certainly demonstrated his ability to work hard and his knowledge
of the Code.
Mrs. Durante asked if they could have the City Attorney seek
some relief for the City of Delray Beach for the architect on that
Board. They are draining their architects'on the Community Appearance
Board. If they could seek some relief by putting a business person or a
layperson in that spot, that would really help them a lot.
Mr. Scheifley agreed with Mrs. Durante and stated that in
looking at this Board, they have a lot of capable, knowledgeable, good
businessmen among whom frequently the idea of aesthetics is lacking.
Therefore, why couldn't they interpret this architect to be a landscape
architect so that they get some aesthetics in this regard.
The City Manager replied that when it says architect, you
cannot interpret it as landscape architect.
Mr. Young concurred with Mr. Bird's recommendation that Ms.
Simon and Mr. Sanson be considered for the business person slot on this
Board; he would prefer Mr. Sanson because of his experience and his evi-
dent willingness to work.
The City Attorney informed Council that the ordinance pro-
vides that one member should be appointed for one year, two for two
years, and two for three years, so when Council makes the appointments,
they should so designate.
Mrs. Elfreida Forbell noted that all of the people that
Council is considering are men; she would like to see a woman on that
Board. Mayor Weekes replied that the names of two very qualified
females were suggested and for some reason the Council seems to favor
Mr. Sanson over either one of those two ladies. Mrs. Durante added that
both of those two ladies would come under the business category and so
would Mr. Sanson.

Verde upon completion of the expanded water plant. Filters have been
added since the June 25th Council action which increase the water plant
capacity from 15.1 million gallons per day to 18.1 million gallons per
day. There is no need to withhold water service until the water plant
is expanded and it is recommended that the water service agreement be
approved providing water service immediately.
The City Attorney passed out copies of an amendment to the
Agreement. He informed Council that this amendment is an attachment to
the standard City water service agreement for property located outside
the City limits which Palo Verde and the other property owner have
executed. The amendment provides that the City is committing, at this
time, to provide water service for 63 single family units providing that
service is commenced to those units not later than March 1, 1982. For
the balance of the project, service will be provided only if, at the
time application for water service is made, a surplus exists as deter-
mined by the City's Utilities Director after allocating sufficient
capacity to serve the needs of the inhabitants and property in the City
and those to whom the City has committed to previously. Also the amend-
ment deletes paragraph 7 and 8 of the standard agreement which is the
provision for annexation. The minutes of the meeting approving the
application originally by City Council show that it was done with the
stipulation that annexation would not be part of the agreement.

rible disrepair which they feel they can get approval of to rehabili-
tate. The other two docks definitely require a permit from the Army
Corps of Engineers and there's no telling whether they will get that
permit or not; they have applied. They would solicit Council's approval
on the basis that if they do get approval for all three docks, they
could build three docks or if they only get approval for two, they could
just build two. They would like the flexibility depending on what the
Corps and the Department of Environmental Regulation responds. In

9.e. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on December 28, 1979, considered the site plan modifi-
cation request for Stewart Arms development to eliminate the S.W. 14th
Avenue dedication and improvement requirement from the approved site
plan, and add another entranceway at the southeast corner of the prop-
erty. The subject property is in Section 20-46-43, and is located on
the north side of S.W. 8th Street, between S.W. 8th Avenue and S.W. 15th
Avenue, and is zoned RM-15 (Multiple Family) District. After discus-
sion, a motion passed unanimously, approving the elimination of the S.W.
- 18 - 1/14/80
14th Avenue dedication and improvement requirement as a minor modifica-
tion, with the understanding that there will not be another entranceway
at the southeast corner of the property, and that a preliminary and
final plat will be submitted when the project is completed. The Board
further discussed the possibility of providing access at the northeast
corner of the property so as to provide traffic circulation.to S.W. 8th
Avenue. After discussion, a motion passed unanimously, recommending
that a road connection be provided at the northeast corner of the prop-
erty, then extend and improve S.W. 10th Avenue north to S.W. 6th Street,
then extend and improve S.W. 6th Street east to connect with S.W. 8th
Avenue.
Mrs. Durante stated that the Planning & Zoning Board's
recommendation to extend S.W. 6th Street to connect with S.W. 8th Avenue
runs through the cemetery. Mr. Carey replied that he thinks that the
street they're referring to runs along the west border of the cemetery.
The street numbers may be wrong here but the map he saw showed a street
which runs west of the cemetery. Mrs. Durante noted that they might
mean S.W. 7th Street rather than S.W. 6th Street
The City Manager stated that if Council is in agreement with
the recommendation, they could approve it with the understanding that he
and Mr. Carey would work that out.
Mr. Carey added that this is a much better plan for the
development because the original concept was not very acceptable.
Mr. Wallin, Planning & Zoning Board member, stated that at
their meeting, the petitioner explained very clearly that they do not
have the funds and would, therefore, request the City to provide funds
for this access. Mr. Bird asked if they have an estimate on the amount
of funds required. The City Manager replied no because they didn't plan
on using City funds. Mayor Weekes suggested referring this to a work-
shop meeting.
Mr. Bird moved to refer this item to a workshop meeting for
consideration, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
9.f. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on December 28, 19.79, recommended by unanimous vote
that the conditional use approval for Vacation House Motel, located at
the northeast corner of N.E. 6th Avenue and N.E. 3rd Street be extended
for one year from April 9, 1980 to April 9, 1981. This was discussed at
the January 7th workshop meeting.
Mr. Bird moved to sustain the recommendation of the Planning
& Zoning Board, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
