JULY 15, 1980
A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday,
July 15, 1980, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, Acting City Manager
Thomas E. Weber, City Attorney Roger Saberson and Council Members
Malcolm T. Bird, Charlotte G. Durante, James H. Scheifley and Willard
V. Young present.
Mayor Weekes called the meeting to order and announced that
same had been called for the purpose of considering retaining expert
witnesses in regard to the Paul Wymbs Civil Service Case.
The City Attorney advised that each of the Council members
has the background information regarding this case and the reasons
why the expert witnesses are being requested; a psychologist to be
retained at a rate of $75 an hour and a criminologist at the rate of
$60 an hour. The City Attorney requested authorization to that effect.
Upon question by Council, the City Attorney advised he would
rather not set a limit as it might tend to stop preparation of the
case in midstream. He reported that the total between the two would
come to approximately $7,000, and estimated that the proceedings would
go two to three days.
Mr. Bird moved that Council authorize the City Attorney to
proceed with the case and hire such expert witnesses as he deems
appropriate, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 7:04 P.M.

JULY 22, 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., Tuesday,
July 22, 1980, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and Acting City
Manager Thomas Weber, 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. Mary Kupferle, Unity
of Delray Beach.

America was given.

4.a.1. Mrs. Durante noted that during Mayor Weekes' first year as
Mayor, most of their meetings were three hours, the second year, most of
their meetings were two hours and this, being his third year as Mayor,
most of their meetings are down to one hour.
4.b.1. Mayor Weekes stated that he has a letter from John Mayer,
Deputy Mayor of the City of Boca Raton, regarding the Palm Beach County
Commission's workshop on the Fair Tax Council on July 23 at 9:30 A.M. in
the Commission Chambers. He hopes that they will be able to have some-
body there to represent the City Council of Delray Beach.
Mr. Young replied that he cannot go but he has made arrange-
ments that they will be represented at the meeting.
4.b.2. Mayor Weekes stated that at almost every Council meeting,
they have one or two requests to expand the authorized uses in a given
zoning district. No matter how many appropriate uses you desig, nate,
there's no way you can designate all the appropriate uses in a given
zoning district. Consequently, people come in with appropriate uses and
ask Council to amend the ordinance to approve them. He feels they
should seriously consider adding some kind of a phrase to the zoning
ordinances, particularly in the commercial districts, which would say
something similar to: and other like uses if approved by some committee,
possibly the Planning Director, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board
and the Chief Building Official.
It was the consensus of Council to have this on the next
workshop agenda.
5. There were no public requests from the floor.

vided to Council adding sewer service to that and the applicant will
provide them with a legal description for which they'll need authori-
zation from Council to attach to the letter.

6.e. The Acting City Manager reported that as decided at the July
15th workshop meeting, Council is to have further discussion relative to
Capital Improvements. A copy of a letter addressed to the Chairman of
the Planning & Zoning Board has been provided to Council.
Mr. Bird moved to transmit the letter to the Planning and
Zoning as Council's request.
Mr. Bird noted that he worked with the City Attorney's
office in the drafting of this as requested by Council. Mayor Weekes
added, for the benefit of the public, that this item is an extension of
a discussion they had two weeks ago in which Mr. Bird asked for Council
to try to put together in a priority fashion the capital needs of the
community. This letter is to formally request the Planning and Zoning
Board to undertake this chore. The letter is a matter of public record
and anyone who wants a copy of it is welcome to have it.
Mrs. Durante noted that there is a blank space in the letter
for the number of days so they will have to include that as part of the
motion.
Mayor Weekes suggested that Council authorize the Mayor to
sign this letter ahd send it to Mr. Carey and then, after having had a
chance to study it more closely, he could always write another letter
and make whatever changes need to be made, if any. After discussion
concerning the time element, it was the consensus of Council to set it
at November 15th.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to show November 15th, seconded
by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.f. The Acting City Manager reported that as discussed at the
July 15th workshop meeting, Council is to consider authorizing obtaining
an appraisal relative to property located on North Ocean Boulevard, just
north of Thomas Street.
Mayor Weekes reported that he contacted an appraiser; the
appraiser looked at the land, made some comparables, talked to the owner
and came back and said there was no way that he could legitimately
appraise the property at the figure which the donor required for his
purposes. The appraiser suggested that they not proceed further and he
made no charge for his services in that regard. Mayor Weekes suggested
that they drop the matter.
It was the consensus of Council to drop the matter.
6.g. The Acting City Manager reported that Council is to consider
authorizing the exchange of 20 military, 30 caliber carbines owned by
the City for 30 Model 64 Smith and Wesson revolvers owned by Jones
Equipment Company or for City Council to take such other action in the
disposition of the subject property as it deems appropriate after the
conclusion of a public hearing in regard to this subject. Council, at
the June 24th meeting, authorized advertising this surplus property for
sale.
The Acting City Manager announced that Mr. Ralph Merritt of
Guns of Merritt in Fort Lauderdale has come forward with another pro-
posal and he passed out copies of the proposal to Council members. The
value of 30 revolvers which they would receive in exchange for the
carbines is $3,530.70. Mr. Merritt's proposal is $3,740.00. This makes
Mr. Merritt's proposal $209.30 greater than the exchange for the Smith
and Wesson revolvers.
After discussion with Captain Smith of the Delray Police
Department, the Acting City Manager recommended that they take the cash
offer of Guns of Merritt in the amount of $3,740.00.
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.

Merritt in the amount of $3,740.00 for the 20 caliber carbines, seconded
by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.

when he would expect to close this transaction. Mr. Merritt replied

that he is a Councilman and City Treasurer of the City of Plantation and
is required to inform them of this.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.h. The Acting City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council authorize execution of an agreement between the City and Edmond
and Regina Spence relative to issuing a temporary Certificate of Occu-
pancy pending completion of alleyway improvements. This item was tabled
at the July 8th meeting at the request of Mr. Spence.

added that Mr. Spence contacted him during the week and wants to have an
item on the next workshop agenda pertaining to the special assessment
that he spoke to Council about once before.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the agreement between the City and
Edmond and Regina Spence, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed

in those minutes for Council attention; a motion was made and passed
unanimously that a letter be sent to Lonnie Cook and John Ross Adams
thanking them for the generous donation of trees to the nursery. Ron
Sanson will take care of the letter. In conjunction with these trees, a
motion was made and passed unanimously that Council express to the City
Manager their concern that these trees are properly cared for. Someone
is necessary to make sure that they are properly watered, fertilized and
pruned so that they won't die.
It was the consensus of Council to make this request to the
Administration.

received from Sherwood Pontiac - GMC Truck, Inc. for a permit to erect a

The City Attorney announced that there is an amendment to

The City Attorney further reported that Council had asked
that Mel Pendergrass of the Building Department measure some buildings
in the area where trade shops are now located as well as buildings where
there were not trade shops but that were located within the 100 feet and
possibly may have been built for that purpose, as well as warehouse and
other uses. There have been several that he's measured that are in
excess of the 1500 feet.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, The City Attorney replied that
they don't have a representative figure but the largest one Mr.
Pendergrass saw was the Spence Warehouse which is advertised as being
16,000 square feet maximum for one use. Mr. Pendergrass stated that
they range from 1,000 square feet on up to approximately 6,000 square
feet, other than the Spence Warehouse. The City Attorney asked Mr.
Pendergrass, if he was to pick a square footage limitation that would
cover 85% to 90%, what would it be. Mr. Pendergrass replied about 2,500
square feet. The City Attorney added that there are a number of busi-
nesses that are going to be made non-conforming by this ordinance.
Council may possibly want to consider making these permitted uses in the
Specialized Commercial district.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 29-80 on Second
and FINAL Reading with a change putting the figure 2500 square feet in
each place that the figure 1500 square feet appears in the ordinance,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2 "ADMINISTRATION" OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH BY
REPEALING SECTION 2-7(a) AND ENACTING A NEW SECTION

THE CITY COUNCIL TO SELL ANY REAL PROPERTY NOT NEEDED FOR
CITY PURPOSES, REQUIRING THE PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE OF
SALE AND REQUIRING THAT A PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD CONCERN-
ING SUCH SALE; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Acting City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Upon questions by Council, the City Attorney explained that
the way the current ordinance is set up, the City receives a base bid in
the amount of 50% of the assessed value of the property stating the
terms and conditions upon which a purchaser wants to buy the property.
It is then advertised for two weeks, the City Council holds a public
hearing and the sale is consumated. What this does is provde that,
rather than having to wait for a buyer to initiate the process, the City
can initiate it, provide a notice of sale, and auction the property off
or sell it on such other terms and conditions as the City Council de-
sires, the only requirement being that the City publish a notice. This
particular ordinance includes only real property but personal property
is sold this way now as provided by City ordinance. There is no speci-
fic requirement as to the size of the ad or the newspaper or the section
of the newspaper in which the ad must be published. The only limitation
is that it must be a newspaper of general circulation.

The Acting City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 43-80 on
First Reading, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Mayor Weekes stated that he is not going to support this
ordinance. What this will really do is create a professional office
district and immediately create a substantial number of non-conforming
uses of professional offices. He doesn't see that allowing professional
offices to be scattered throughout the City is a bad thing; he feels
that it is reasonable to have doctors' offices, dentists' offices and
other such offices in the neighborhoods close to people. He doesn't
believe they should be creating what, in effect, will become a profes-
sional office district.
Mr. Bird withdrew his motion and Mrs. Durante her second.
- 11 - 7/22/80
Mrs. Durante stated that professional offices such as the
ones named here are really the only commercial type of operation which
are allowed in residential districts anyway. These professional offices
that are named here can go in RM-10 and commercial.
Mrs. Plume noted that at a recent public hearing, they had
two requests asking to stop the encroachment of professional offices in
residential sections.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he agrees that it would be nice to
have physicians and dentists in the residential area but he doesn't
think that engineers, attorneys, architects, and those types of people
should be in that area.
Mr. Wallin, Planning & Zoning Board, stated that many years _
ago it was very necessary to have a physician close to you because they
all made house calls; those days are gone. So, why should doctors now
be allowed to have their practice in the residential district.
Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 43-80 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr.
Young - No; Mayor Weekes - No. Said motion failed with a 3 to 2 vote.
8.0. The Acting City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 44-80 is
not yet ready for Council consideration.
9.a. The Acting City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning
Board at a meeting held on July 14th, recommended by unanimous vote that
the final plat for Moore's Landing, located north of N.E. 8th Street,
between Andrews Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway be approved, sub-
ject to the following:
1) City Engineer's memorandum of June 18th.
2) Director of Public Utilities memorandum of June 12th.
3) Availability of water.
4) That the sidewalk requirement be waived on Andrews
Avenue.
Mr. Bird moved to sustain the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Board relative to Moore's Landing, seconded by Mr. Young.
A representative of the applicant stated that there was a
request that Mrs. Moore deed five feet to the City for an easement for
Andrews Avenue. She has been down-zoned over the years from 60 units to
15 units on that particular site and her concern is that in the future,
that five feet may, in fact, take away a unit that she has right now.
She would not be opposed to granting an easement as long as she could
count that square footage. She's also in the process of getting an _
easement for water drainage over the site for excess water that doesn't
even involve her property.
The City Attorney stated that he has no objection to the
City receiving an easement. If they do, the way the ordinances are set
up currently, they could still use that as part of their density calcu-
lation.
Mr. Bird amended his motion as stated by the City Attorney,
seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
9.b. The Acting City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning
Board at a meeting held on July 14th, recommended by unanimous vote that
the conditional use, site and development plan approval for Old Harbor
Plaza, located at the northeast corner of U.S. No. 1 and Linton Boule-
vard, which expires on September 26, 1980, be extended for six months
until March 26, 1981.
