01-28-80 JANUARY 28, 1980
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., Monday,
January 28, 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 Dr. Warren Nubern,
~keview 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 January 14, 1980 and the special meetings of December 4,
1979, December 13, 1979 and January 7, 1980, seconded by Mr. Young.
Said motion passed unanimously.
4.a.1. Mrs. Durante stated that they are now in the age of energy
conservation and everyone should be trying to do something to conserve
energy. She thinks that there is a lot the City government can do by
looking at the ways in which the City itself can conserve energy. She
asked the Administration to look into ways to cut down on gasoline
comsumption. There is a new mechanism whereby current automobiles can
be converted to propane gas. Mayor Weekes stated that he made the same
suggestion to the Administration.
4.a.2. Mrs. Durante stated that on tonight's agenda, item 9.c. is
the Stewart Arms item. Mr. Reginald Harris notified her today that he
has a meeting and he would like for Council to consider moving that item
up near the beginning of the agenda.
Mayor Weekes stated that they will consider it when Mr.
Harris arrives.
4.b.1. Mr. Scheifley advised that there are over 130 Delray Beach
citizens on the waiting list to join the Delray Beach Country Club.
4.c.1. Mayor Weekes stated that he would like to discuss with
Council what the City's official posture will be on supporting the road
bond issue which the County Commission has determined to place on refer-
endum. He is going to support it. He is sorry that they were unable to
get all of the things in that bond issue that they would have liked to
have had; however, he thinks that the citizens of Delray Beach and the
County are best served by supporting the bond issue and he sees it as
the only way they are going to get substantial relief in their road
needs in the immediate future. He asked the other members of Council
for their views on this.
Mr. Bird concurred with Mayor Weekes' statements and stated
that he thinks there is an additional side benefit which is that many of
the projects that are going to be covered with funds from the road bond
issue are projects which, otherwise, would have been funded from State
money coming to County as priority items; therefore, he will support it.
Mrs. Durante stated that although she is disappointed that
they are not getting all that they asked for, she will support it.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he hasn't made up his mind as to
whether this can be used as an issue to eliminate the dual taxation in
the County or not. He has heard some people express opinions to that
effect.
Mr. Young stated that he is opposed to the matter, parti-
cularly after having been at the meeting last Thursday in Lake Worth.
They have reduced the road building program considerably; they are
predicating the costs of building these roads in 1982, only taking into
consideration the escalation of costs up to that date. By their own
admission they do not expect to even start some of this road work until
probably around 1985. They told them they do not have any priorty
schedule for it and they said they would take the easiest one first.
Mayor Weekes stated that he feels that the best interest of
Council will be served by not taking a formal stance on this issue and
by letting each member of Council pursue it in whatever way he feels is
best.
4.c.2. Mayor Weekes stated that he received a letter from Carol
Hanson, a Council member in the City of Boca Raton, asking Council to
support their endeavor to get funding for the new Boca Raton High School
facility; she pointed out that there are 2800 students attending Boca
Raton High School which was built to accomodate 1800 students. Ms.
Hanson sent along with her letter, a list of people to whom she would
like for them to communicate. He suggested that they ask the City
Attorney's office to prepare a resolution supporting the endeavor,
which, they can pass at a special meeting before the workshop next
Monday night, and forward copies of the resolution to all the parties
that she mentioned in her letter.
Mrs. Durante stated that she concurs; however, she has a
problem understanding why they have to send all'these students from
Delray Beach down to Boca Raton; it may be that they need the school in
Delray Beach. Mayor Weekes replied that that is a separate issue.
With Council in concurrence, Mayor Weekes asked the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution to that effect.
5.a. Mr. Sam Portnay, High Point Section 6, stated that he has a
complaint in regard to the southwest of 1-95, 7th, 6th and 5th Avenues
where there are empty lots plus one place where clothes are washed in
the building. Those streets are full of glass and he has reported it
over and over again. If that is private property, he thinks that noti-
fication should be given to the proper people and, if they don't clean
it up, he thinks that they should be charged to have it cleaned up.
Mayor Weekes asked the City Manager to look into the com-
plaint and report back to Council.
5.b. Mr. Joseph Bell, 140 Venetian Drive, stated that he believes
that most citizens in the City of Delray dislike entirely the idea of
more five and seven story highrises. If the City Council agrees with
that sentiment, why don't they take action leading to a decrease in the
size of the buildings and take steps to poll the people of Delray Beach.
Mayor Weekes replied that the Planning and Zoning Board has
just heard that issue and has sent a recommendation which will come
before Council, presumably, at the next Council meeting. They will be
discussing it at that time.
5.c. Mrs. Rolle stated that it has come to her attention that the
City books will not be open on Saturday for voter registration.
The City Manager stated that he has discussed this with the
City Clerk and it was decided that since the County registration office
will be open on Saturday, there is no need for the City to spend addi-
tional money keeping their office open. It was thought that a sign
would be put on the door directing people to the proper place to regi-
ster.
5.d. Mrs. Durante stated that they have a new minister and pastor
in town; he is the pastor of the St. Paul AME Church in Delray Beach,
Reverend Myers and he is in the audience tonight.
6.a. There were no items that were not on the agenda.
6.b. The City Manager reported that as discussed at workshop on
January 21st, Council is to give consideration to authorizing the taking
of all necessary steps leading to the trade of a parcel of City-owned
land for land owned by WDBF.
Mr. Bird moved that Council authorize the Administration to
undertake the necessary steps to effect the land swap for the land
currently occupied by WDBF radio transmitter studio location and the
property described on the map they looked at a week ago as Lot 2, that
being the second lot from Atlantic Avenue on~Homewood Boulevard,
seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 2 - 1/28/80
6.c. The City Manager reported that there were six items referred
to in the traffic study report involving the Bridge Restaurant/Patio
Delray Restaurant vicinity. Two of them were administrative in nature
which he has directed be implemented. A third item had to do with an
ordinance change that was considered and recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Board; that will come to Council shortly. There were three items
that would require direct Council action should those be implemented:
1. Canal Street
Dead-end Canal Street at the south line of the property on which the
Bridge Restaurant is located and construct a T-turnaround at this loca-
tion.
Mrs. Durante moved that the City Administration be author-
ized to proceed with that change, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird asked that Mrs. Durante recon-
sider her motion and that, perhaps, they have further study done to see
if that "T" could be located a little further north than the south prop-
erty line. After further discussion, Mr. Bird withdrew his objection to
the motion.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
2. Adult Recreation Center Parking Lot
Prohibit parking on the Adult Recreation Center parking lot by persons
not using said facility.
Mayor Weekes stated that he would like to see that expanded
to include the playground facility so that people who are bringing their
children to use the playground rather than the Adult Recreation Center
can use the lot and there are also a few people who fish there.
The City Manager suggested that they use the wording "said
facility and grounds".
Mr. Bird moved that they prohibit parking in the parking lot
near the Adult Recreation Center except for persons using or working on
facilities located on City-owned land to the north of Atlantic Avenue
and to the east of the parking area, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion
passed unanimously.
3. Atlantic Avenue - Palm Square Intersection
Prohibit left turns at the Atlantic Avenue - Palm Square intersection
and provide a turning lane on west bound Atlantic Avenue at 7th Avenue
for southbound traffic. Replace traffic signalization at the Atlantic
Avenue - 7th Avenue intersection. Four parking spaces would be elimi-
nated on the north side of Atlantic Avenue between 6th and 7th Avenues.
All of Item 3 improvements are subject to Department of Transportation
approval. The estimated cost of these improvements is $25,000.
Mrs. Durante asked where the $25,000 will come from. The
City Manager replied that he is not asking for authorization to put the
improvements in; he is asking for approval of the concept and the source
for that $25,000 funding would be determined at a future date.
Mrs. Durante moved that the City Administration be author-
ized to complete that recommendation, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird asked if there is any portion of
this action which can be accomplished for a nominal cost. The City
Manager replied, perhaps; that's the reason he is seeking Council ap-
proval of the item. They will work toward it as they can; he doesn't
anticipate doing it all at one time.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.d. The City Manager reported that Council may approve, by
motion, the amendment to the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority
Act and direct the City Attorney's office to present it to the Legis-
lative Delegation.
- 3 - 1/28/80
The City Attorney reported that the amendment that has been
transmitted with the agenda has been submitted to the local Legislative
Delegation and it's before Council to approve that submittal and to
authorize the City Attorney's office to represent the City Council
before the Legislative Delegation to seek this amendment and, as part of
that, he would also like authorization to make minor amendments in this
Act as may be required or requested by the Legislative Delegation as
long as they are not changing the basic intent which is to include the
area described in the Act.
Mr. Scheifley moved to request the amendment to the Delray
Beach Downtown Development Authority Act as submitted as exhibit 6.d.
and to authorize the City Attorney's office to make amendments that
might be requested by the local Legislative Delegation in the process of
seeking approval, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously._
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Scheifley asked if there are single family houses included in that area,
would they pay the one mill tax too. The City Attorney replied that
there may be a few single family houses and, yes, all real property
would. Mr. Bird stated that the last paragraph of the proposed amend-
ment sets a very small and unique group to make a determination as to
whether or not this change will ever come into effect. There are not
many people that live on East Atlantic Avenue from the bridge to the
ocean. He questions whether any vote by such a select group can fully
represent the desires of the commercial property owners on either side
of the bridge. Further, it has come to his attention that there are at
least some of the commercial property owners east of the bridge who are
confused or mislead by the effect of joining the Downtown Development
Authority. His concern is an opinion on the part of many potential
members of the DDA that this will grant them an authority to expand
their businesses without having to provide requisite parking. By
joining the Downtown Development Authority, businesses and property
owners on the east side of the Waterway will not get any additional
privilege, which is not currently extended to them, unless the Planning
and Zoning Board and this Council chooses to extend an authorization.
The City Attorney, in response to Mr. Scheifley, stated that
the reason that this was prepared in this particular manner was because
of advice received from one of the members of the Legislative Delegation
that this is the kind of referendum that the Delegation has, in the
past, required and it's for that reason that he asked for the authori-
zation to permit amendments to this Act, as it's being presented to the
Legislative Delegation, because they intend to ask them to amend this
particular provision of the Bill because, as Mr. Bird pointed out, it
makes little sense to have a referendum when most of the affected people
are not the ones who would be voting.
After further discussion by Council, the City Attorney
stated that it would be his preference to have that section deleted in
its entirety, to have it passed as a special act by the Legislature
without a referendum and that the City would Provide the consents of
sufficient quality and type to satisfy the members of the Delegation. _~
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.e. The City Manager reported that Council may approve, by
motion, the local bill amending the Civil Service Act and direct the
City Attorney's office to present it to the Legislative Delegation.
The City Attorney stated that again the City Attorney's
office is requesting permission to represent the City Council before the
Legislative Delegation in requesting the amendments that are incor-
porated in the Bill that has been transmitted with the agenda. He
would, also, like permission to make such amendments as may be requested
by the Delegation in the request process.
Mrs. Durante moved for approval of the local bill amending
the Civil Service Act and that the City Attorney be directed to present
it to the Legislative Delegation and permitted to make amendments that
may be requested by the Delegation in the request process, seconded by
Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 4 - 1/28/80
7.a. Mayor Weekes acknowledged ~he minutes of the Beautification
Committee for the meetings held on December 5, 1979 and January 2, 1980.
Mrs. Pat Canning, Chairman of the Beautification Committee,
stated that they had a vote at the December meeting recommending con-
tinuation of the lethal yellowing inoculations. So far Delray Beach has
lost only 10% of its trees. The reason that they are still getting some
lethal yellowing now is because Boca ~aton and Boynton Beach do not in-
noculate. But 10% is one of the best there is.
Mr. %~allin, Planning & Zoning Board member, stated that one
of the big problems is the County pockets. There is nothing being done
about the County pockets one way or another. Mrs. Canning replied that
she knows that all trees were done in the County pockets because the
people that were doing it had no way of telling what was a County pocket
and what was not.
Mrs. Matthews, member of the Beautification Committee,
stated that the Parks & Recreation Department has a program which they
call "Identify and Remove Palm Trees". At the present time, this pro-
gram is being done by the Parks & Recreation Department personnel. The
tree cutter, as she understands, is a foreman in the Parks & Recreation
Department. She would like to address the funds generated by this tree
cutting program. When the Parks & Recreation Department cuts down a
tree, the homeowner is billed for $40; this money goes into the general
fund. She suggested, on behalf of the Beautification Committee, that
the money generated by the Parks & Recreation people cutting down trees
be returned to that program; there are a lot of things which can be done
with more funds such as underplanting.
The City Manager advised that it is his intention to have
this item on a workshop agenda at some time in the future. For some
time, the Parks & Recreation Department has been talking with him about
the possibility and feasibility of stopping the inoculation program. He
has instructed that they continue the program until further notice is
given. He will not stop the program until Council is in agreement that
it should be stopped.
Mayor Weekes stated that he noticed in the December 5th
minutes of the Beautification Committee that Mr. Winters made reference
to the fact that the new field at Miller Park would be unfenced. It was
his understanding that fencing would be included in the plans for that
addition to Miller Park. The City Manager agreed to check that out.
7.b. The City Manager reported that pursuant to informal workshop
decision last Monday night, Council is to give consideration to approval
of the 1980 Delray Affair for April llth through April 13, 1980 inclu-
sive, as requested by the Delray Affair Committee.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the Delray Affair, seconded
by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.c. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the January
21st workshop meeting, Council is to consider approving erection of two
tents, 30 x 100 and 30 x 75 ~in the First Federal Park for the purpose of
holding an automobile show during the Delray Affair from April llth
through April 13, 1980, subject to Fire Department requirements being
met.
Mr. Bird moved that approval be granted for the erection of
the tents in connection with the Delray Affair subject to satisfying the
requirements of the Fire Department and any other regulation that may
apply, seconded by Mr. Young.
Mr. Tom Dennis, 510 Eldorado Lane, stated that he is the
Chairman of the Delray Affair. ~RS Public Radio Station is planning on
having a wine and cheese party and they will also be planning on having
a tent in approximately the same area as the Automobile Dealers Associ-
ation in the City Park and they would like to save some steps by adding
that under the same stipulation as the dealers' tent.
- 5 - 1/28/80
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include the WHRS wine and
cheese tent subject to the same regulations, seconded by Mr. Young.
Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney pointed out that the question of the hot
air balloon is still under consideration. They have received copies of
the insurance coverage which have been sent to the City's insurance
consultants.

amendment be made to the subdivision ordinance relative to specifying
the use for which money contributed by developers in lieu of donating
park land can be used as well as when such money shall be paid to the
City. A second motion passed unanimously, recommending that a special
fund be established for holding money contributed in lieu of park land.
Council may either direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance or
refer to workshop.
Mr. Bird asked if it is the Administration's intent that
these funds be separately accounted for. The City Manager replied that
he thinks that could come along in the drafting of the ordinance. Mr.
Bird stated he would particularly like to see that provision in there.

Mr. Young moved that the City Attorney be instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance to this effect with that addition as suggested by Mr.

9.c. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on December 28, 1979, considered the site plan modi-
fication 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.
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. Council, at the January 14th meeting, referred this to work-
shop. This was discussed at the January 21st workshop meeting, at which
time it was informally agreed that the City will improve the streets
when financing is available.
The City Manager further reported that Mrs. Durante sug-
gested today that consideration be given instead of running the improve-
ment east along 6th Street that 10th Avenue be extended north to 4th
Street. The Administration has looked into that suggestion and it is
feasible. He recommends that Council approve the recommendation with
one addition having to do with Mrs. Durante's suggestion.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the recommendations as outlined by
the City Manager, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
9.d. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on January 22nd, recommended by unanimous vote that
the zoning ordinance be amended relative to prohibiting veterinary
clinics from disposing of carcasses on-site. Council may either author-
ize drafting of the ordinance or refer to workshop.
Mr. Bird asked if there is already a County ordinance pro-
hibiting this. The City Attorney agreed to check into that before sub-
mitting the ordinance to Council.
Mr. Bird moved to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the
ordinance, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
9.e. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting'held on January 15th, recommended by unanimous vote that
the site and development plan for Delray Oaks First Addition, located on
the north side of the C-15 Canal between Congress Avenue and the E-4
Canal, be approved, subject to the following:
1) City Engineer's memorandum of December 21, 1979.
2) Director of Public Utilities memorandum of December 12,
1979.
3) Availability of water.
4) A time limitation of 18 months be set for development of
the project.

256 dwelling unit project on 35.10 acres of land.
Mr. Scheifley moved for approval of the Delray Oaks First
Addition as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board subject to the

9.f. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on January 15th, recommended by unanimous vote that
the conditional use for Sir Waxer, an automotive grooming center at the
northeast corner of N.E. 3rd Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue, be approved,
subject to the following:
1) City Engineer's memorandum of January 10th.
2) Director of Public Utilities memorandum of December 17,
1979.
3) Availability of water.
4) A time limitation of one (1) year be set for development
of the project.
Council may either authorize drafting of the ordinance or refer to work-
shop.
Mrs. Durante moved to sustain the recommendation of the
Planning & Zoning Board subject to the four items in the preface to the
agenda, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following disqussion was had: Mr. Bird
stated that this place has been painted to be Sir Waxer for about half a
year; he wondered if anyone could shed any light on that. Mr. Carey
replied that the petitioner never bothered to come to City Hall to find
out what zoning district he was in or what permitted uses existed within
that district; he went ahead and made his investment and then it was
discovered that he could not run his business. In response to a ques-
tion from Mr. Bird, the City Attorney stated that the ordinance requires
a well unless, for some reason, it is unacceptable to the Public Works
Department.
Mr. Charles Barker, representing Sir Waxer, stated that he
spoke with Mr. Louis Martin on January 16th and they do not have to sink
a well so long as they don't attempt to extend their use.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
9.g. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on January 22nd, recommended by unanimous vote that
the conditional use, site ~and development plan for Delray Mall Shopping
Center (Phase III), located on the north side of Linton Boulevard,
between Dixie Highway and U.S. No. 1 be approved, subject to the
following:
1) City Engineer's memorandum of January 21st.
2) Director of Public Utilities memorandum of December 12,
1979.
3) Availability of water.
4) A time limitation of 18 months be set for development of
the project.
The City Attorney stated that he understands that Phase III
includes only a portion of the building that will contain the six
theaters. In discussing this with Mr. Kotulla today, he discovered that
with this particular approval, Council would be approving, in essence, a
theater and a half in a six theatre building. He thought that Council
might want to consider waiting until they get the rest of the applica-
tion before them to approve the entire building and conditional use as a
whole.
The architect for the petitioner came forward and showed
Council their plan.
- 13 - 1/28/80
Mr. Bird moved to defer this item until the entire project
is available for approval, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
