OCTOBER 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., Tuesday,
October 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, Jam. es H. Scheifley, and Willard
V. Young, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Ronald Martin,
Cason United Methodist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of October 14, 1980 and the special meeting of October 9, 1980,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously. (Mr. Young
abstained from voting on the October 14 minutes as he was not present).
4.a.1. Hr. Bird asked that Council hold a special meeting later
this week for a discussion of some of the problems regarding their
citizens and police.
Mr. Young suggested that they hold that meeting some time
next week. Mayor Weekes stated that he will have the Administration
find a day next week that will be suitable.
4.a.2. Mr. Bird moved that a consent agenda be initiated this
evening and items 6.b., 6.c., 6.d., 6.i., 7.a., 7.b., 7.c., 8.a., 8.b.,
8.c., 8.d., 8.e., 8.f. and 8.g. be considered as a consent agenda by
Council and be entered as the item to immediately follow 6.a.; that a
motion, at that time, be made to approve the entire list; that the
motion to adopt the consent agenda will be a motion to take the action
indicated in the agenda preface, and that in those ~.instances where there
are resolutions, that the motion adopting the consent agenda will adopt
all of the resolutions included, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion
passed unanimously.
4.a.3. Mr. Bird moved that Council direct the City Attorney to
draft an appropriate resolution to make a consent agenda a regular item
of business and to have that done in time to be a regular item of busi-
ness starting with the next regular Council meeting, seconded by Mr.
Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, the City Manager advised that they have
that scheduled for a future workshop meeting; it has been delayed in
order for him to gather information and he is about ready now to go to
workshop with it.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante stated that she would like the Palm Beach
County Municipal League to consider passing a resolution for the County
Commission to consider a resort tax for hotels, motels, etc., in Palm
Beach County. Both counties to the south of us do have that tax and it
is bringing a lot of financial relief to their taxpayers.
Mr. Young stated that that has already been brought before
the Palm Beach County Municipal League; they have it on their agenda to
take into consideration. He agreed to report back on the progress.
4.c.1. Mayor ~'~eekes read a proclamation proclaiming the month of
November 1980, as "Pioneer ~'~omen Month". Two members of that organi-
zation came forward to accept the proclamation.
4.c.2. Mayor Weekes requested that item 9.a. be moved forward on
the agenda.
Hr. Bird moved that item 9.a. be moved forward to come after
item 5 and before item 6.a., seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion
passed unanimously.
5.a. James Scott McOwen, 302 N.W 18th Street, executive officer of
Delray Beach Soccer League, stated that he has heard that April I, 1981
is the earliest they can see Phase 2 of Miller Park field. It would
help if they could get Phase 2 of Miller Park completed by February. He
asked if they could get lights at Merritt Park for night practice; wood
poles would be sufficient. They need this light by December 1st because
that is when their season starts. They also need to use Miller field
and American Legion field in the evening for practice.
Mayor Weekes asked Dr. McOwen to give him a list of the
items and stated that, if Council agrees, he will take the list and
personally follow up on it. He added that they might be able to get
some assistance in the providing of poles and things of that nature.
5.b. Mr. Bill Walsh stated that there is a bridge on Island Drive
which was started about four months ago. For the last two months, they-
have been dragging their feet; the bridge is half done, they have gar-
bage all over the street and a jiffy john sitting in front of his house
He understands that what's holding up the bridge is a pile driver.
Mayor Weekes stated that that is not the case. The problem
is that they have to relocate the overhead electric lines; the pile
driver cannot operate while the lines are in the way. He called Florida
Power & Light and asked them to put a rush on moving those lines. The
City Manager added that he had a call from FP&L this afternoon and they
informed him that they plan on moving in on the job Thursday of this
week.
9.a. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on July 14th, recommended by unanimous vote that the
conditional use in the LC (Limited Commercial) District to allow a 168
room hotel in a six story structure, located at the northwest corner of
Atlantic Avenue and A1A be approved, subject to:
1) City Engineer's memorandum of July 14th.
2) Director of Public Utilities memorandum of July 7th.
3) That a development impact fee be assessed to the
developer in order to compensate for the removal of
21 parking spaces on Atlantic Avenue, and that these
monies be set aside in a special fund to be earmarked
for providing parking spaces east of the Intracoastal
Waterway.
4) A time limitation of 18 months be set for development
of the project.
Mayor Weekes announced that Mr. Carey, on behalf of the
Planning & Zoning Board will speak first, the developer and his repre-
sentatives will speak second, those persons in favor of the project will
speak third and those opposed will speak fourth. He asked that those
persons for and against the project select a limited number of repre- _
sentatives to present their case; they will have five minutes apiece to
speak.
Mr. Carey, Planning & Zoning Board chairman, outlined the
reasons why the Board arrived at its recommendation. He explained the
history of the project. They had told Mr. Walsh that his original plan
was totally unacceptable and advised him to try and come up with some-
thing more acceptable. In the original plan, the building was five
stories high and sat within 25 feet of the street. After having had a
series of meetings with Mr. Walsh over many months, the Board recommends
to Council the construction of a 168 room hotel on the Seacrest Hotel
site. Mr. Carey outlined the things that the Board has asked of Mr.
Walsh and which Mr. Walsh has conceded to. The Board spent many hours
on this subject and he (Mr. Carey) thinks that the developer went a long
way to meet their demands. He thinks they have gotten the best possible
siting for that particular location that they could conceivably get
under the circumstances.

The City Attorney advised that he delivered to Council a set
of conditions and asked if Mr. Walsh is in agreement with the conditions
except for nos. 17 and 19. Mr. Walsh replied that he is.
Mr. Bill Walsh, developer, gave a presentation. He stated
that he has met all of the City requirements as far as parking, green
space, etc., and he has approvals from the Planning & Zoning Board, the
Fire Department, Engineering, the Community Appearance Board and from
the Chamber of Commerce. They want to replace the old hotel with a new
one that would be beneficial to the community. He outlined the differ-
ences between the old hotel and the new one and noted that the new hotel
would provide about 100 new jobs for the community. He passed out to
Council a copy of a letter from Mr. Scheifley, who was concerned that a
lot of people running businesses on Atlantic Avenue east of the Intra-
coastal weren't aware of the project. His (Mr. Walsh's) brother went
around with a plan of the property to every business he could get into
and all but one were in favor of it.
Mr. Robert Currie, architect for the developer, stated that
he thinks that the Planning Board was most conscientious in their ef-
forts and the plan which they came up with is a benefit to both the
owners and the City of Delray Beach. Initially, they had started out
with a 200 room hotel; it has been reduced to 168. The overall height
is now 12 to 14 feet taller than the existing tower of the old hotel.
He explained the layout of the rooms and added that the new hotel will
house a restaurant of just over 2000 square feet, a meeting room of just
over 3000 square feet and two small shops.
Mr. Dan Murray, traffic engineer for the developer, stated
that one of the major traffic concerns is the development of Atlantic
Avenue so it properly facilitates the access to the hotel site. He
developed a conceptual plan which has a lot of compatibility with a
similar plan that was developed by Mr. Church, the City Engineer; he
explained the plan and the modifications. They redeveloped'the access
so that there is only one access on Atlantic Avenue and they developed
some internal channelization so no left turns out of that driveway will
occur. He outlined several other traffic and parking concerns and
concluded that, in his opinion, the facility will handle traffic in a
safe and efficient manner with the necessary recommendations.
Mr. Twitchell, Vice-President of Ocean Properties Ltd.,
stated that his company is going to be building and operating the Sea-
crest Hotel. His company runs about 22 hotels around the United States!
one of the advantages of having a company like this is that you have a
company that has some operating experience and has been successful in
the management of its hotel properties. There could be a lot of uses on
that corner which would be detrimental to the community. They desire to
build a good facility which everybody will be proud of. He thinks that
the area coverage, the landscape and percentages on this project are the
best he has seen in a lot of projects.
Speaking from the audience in favor of the project were:
(1) Mr. Leo Blair, 1152 Lowry Street, stated that he lives
on the beach side close to this development, he owns apartments at the
Grove Condominium, directly across the road from this, and he supports
this project 100 percent. His brother has two apartments at the Grove
Condominium and he also is in favor of it. Also, Louise Brewster asked
him to use her name in support of this project.
(2) Mr. Bill Ward, 8 East Atlantic Avenue, President of the
Delray Beach Greater Chamber of Commerce, stated that a meeting was held
on October 1st at which time presentations were made in regard to this
project. A motion was made and passed endorsing the project as proposed
subject to a satisfactory legal agreement being made by the City in
which the developer will provide 18 additional parking spaces on the
southwest corner of the property. The motion carried with no dissenting
votes. The Chamber of Commerce feels that this growing community needs
a hotel.
(3) Mr. Alvero Vera, 30 Andrews Avenue, stated that he owns
three apartments at the Grove Condominium and he is the Vice-President
of the Grove Condominium Assoication. They are right next to this
project and they are very much in favor it.
- 3 - 10/28/80
(4) Mr. Harvey Brown stated that he has lived in Delray
Beach since 1947 and he has watched that corner deteriorate over the
years; 3 or 4 different landlords have come in and let that property go
to pot. The building has to be replaced; it cannot be used the way it
is. He feels that these people have been fair with the City in attempt-
ing to put something there that not only meets their needs but meets the
City's needs.
Speaking from the audience against the project were:
(1) Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, Beach Prop-
erty Owners Association, stated that the Association is opposed to the
proposed intense use of the hotel; the size, the 74 units an acre. She
noted that the City Code does not have criteria by which to determine
the number of units allowed in a hotel. Their opposition is based upon
the traffic congestion in the height of the season; she outlined the
background the AssociatiOn has in being concerned about both traffic an
parking in that area. There is no question that Delray is a growing
City but if they grow beyond the capacity of Atlantic Avenue and Ocean
Boulevard to contain the traffic, the growth isn't going to be the kind
of growth that Delray Beach wants.
(2) Mr. Ron Sanson, 415 Bluebird Drive, stated that he sees
this as a step backwards. LC zoning is intended to provide an area for
retail commercial activities located in completely enclosed buildings
and to preserve and develop the character of the businesses presently
located in the area of East Atlantic Avenue. He doesn't see how this
hotel meets that objective. He explained the difference between condi-
tional uses and permitted uses. In all the discussion that was given
tonight, only technical aspects were mentioned; no aesthetic or environ-
mental aspects were mentioned. He urges Council to consider the future
of the City.
(3) Mr. Robert Hillary, 35 East Road, stated that he is
opposed to this project because of the growth of traffic; traffic con-
ditions approaching the bridge are often intolerable. This project will
certainly add to the traffic problem.
(4) Mr. Dean Luce, 36 S. Ocean Boulevard, read a letter he
received from Michael Buckley, Vice-President of Alan Bush Brokerage,
which stated that if the downtown merchants would be compensated for
their loss of parking on Atlantic Avenue, Alan Bush would be in favor of
the hotel; the compensations were outlined in the letter. It further
stated that a hotel at this site will be beneficial to the business and
private sector, but the size of the plan is not in keeping with the
quiet, relaxed quality of living which is downtown Delray's greatest
asset.
Mayor Weekes read a letter which he received from the same
gentleman, Michael Buckley, stating that he has no objections and would
be in favor of Council supporting this project. Upon question by Mr.
Bird, Mayor Weekes added that that communication was a petition in
letter form, and it was of a reproduced nature. _
Mr. Luce stated further that no matter how cooperative the
developer has been, they still have a six story, high density, traffic
clogging, convention hotel. He quoted segments of the minutes from one
of the Planning & Zoning Board meetings in which members of the Board
spoke of the intensity of the use, traffic in the area, loss of parking
on Atlantic, loss of the small town quality, and the economic effect on
the City; the Planning Director, at that same meeting, stated that the
six story height was too intense. He (Mr. Luce) added that he doesn't
think the Board voted this through with very much enthusiasm.
(5) Mr. Jack Pitts, 1109 Beach Drive, stated that he feels
that this meeting should not include this item. This is a breach of
trust with the beach property owners of the City because most of them
are still up north. Ten years ago he wrote a letter, which was pub-
lished in the Delray Beach News Journal, pointing out that the beach
property owners furnished a large part of the City property tax but had
little influence on how the City was governed. Since then, the Beach
Property Owners Association has come a long way and the present Council
has recognized this. He suggests that Council postpone this item until
next year when most of the beach property owners will be here.
- 4 - 10/28/80
(6) Mrs. Ruth Albright, 400 Seasage Drive, spoke in opposi-
tion of the plan. She stated that she's been spending winters in Delray
since 1934, she has owned property here since 1957, and her greatest
claim is that she picks up all the bottles and beer cans that are left
around the garbage area; she has been doing this for nine years. She
endorses what Mr. Pitts said, and strongly feels that a traffic study
should be made in regard to the school busses and vans that go down A1A.
Mayor Weeke~ thanked the public for their comments and for
the manner in which they conducted themselves and announced that they
will now turn it over for Council discussion.
Mr. Bird stated that this City has struggled to reduce
densities and it has been a successful effort. He discussed the traffic
and parking situation in relation to this project. The parking required
by City ordinances has been met by the petitioner for this hotel, but
they are being asked to approve a convention hotel and no one has made
parking provisions for the convention aspect of this hotel. He out-
lined, numerically, the need for parking spaces for the hotel guests,
the meeting room, the employees, the restaurant, etc., and came up with
a requirement of 313 parking spaces. He noted that the number of park-
ing spaces currently provided for in the plan is 259, a shortage of 54
parking spaces. He is also concerned about the replacement of street
parking with on-site parking and he outlined the reasons why. In his
opinion, this proposal is not compatible with the LC designation. He
feels that the City should factor hotels, as the City of Boca Raton
does. He submitted that a factor of 3 times the highest density in the
area, which is 15, times the 2.26 acres would be an appropriate figure;
when rounded off, that figure comes to 102 rooms; that is a high density
but not an unacceptable one.
Mr. Bird moved that Council approve such a hotel of the
density above-described, with a height limitation not to exceed four
stories and subject to the conditions which were distributed today by
the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Durante - No; Mr. Scheifley - No; Mr.
Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes - No. Said motion failed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley stated that it is his under-
standing that this item is before them for either the acceptance or
rejection of the Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation and he thinks
that this motion is out of order. Mayor Weekes concurred.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mr. Scheifley praised the developer, Bill Ward and the
Chamber of Commerce and the beach property owners for the excellent
manner in which they presented their stand. He discussed the project
from those three different standpoints. Other factors, which should be
considered, are the environment and the quality of life. He offered a
solution; he feels this problem can be settled satisfactorily by com-
promise if: (1) Mr. Walsh would go to three stories and 120 rooms; (2)
the Chamber of Commerce and merchants would be satisfied with 120 new
customers every week rather than 168; and (3) the beach property owners
would be willing to have a hotel of three stories and 120 rooms on that
site. They all want something of quality and dignity.
Mrs. Durante stated that Council has to try and make a
decision that is best for the City, now and in the future. In making
decisions as a Council member, she tries to look at all the facts; the
advantages and disadvantages, and the needs and desires of the people.
In every step of progress, there are always negative factors. She
doesn't like traffic but that is one of the things that has come with
progress. Replacing that hotel will result in a better product than
what they have. She discussed the number of rooms and added that they
should give some consideration to the fact that they could reduce the
density down to a point where the property is of no use at all; that
would be unfair.
Mr. Young stated that two things have been mentioned to him:
(1) that the City should maintain the existing hotel as a historical
site; and (2) he has been accused of being opposed to a hotel; both of
those items are untrue. Although Mr. Walsh has taken care of two of the
- 5 - 10/28/80
important traffic problems, he is still not convinced that the traffic
problem is solved. He believes that they should have a hotel there but
they do not need one with 168 rooms. He does not feel that a 168 room
building of the type they plan is something that would do Delray Beach,
its merchants or its inhabitants any good whatsoever.
Mayor Weekes stated that he will support the recommendation
of the Planning & Zoning Board for several reasons. They have a City of
40,000 people and no hotel; this is a tourist-oriented community and
they need a first-class hotel. It has been said that this is a conven-
tion hotel; it has one meeting room of 3,000 square feet and he cannot
understand how anyone could construe this to be a convention hotel. The
hotel may afford them somewhere to have a meeting but that is something
that is desperately needed in Delray Beach. There have been different
numbers mentioned; these numbers are being pulled out of the air. They_
are talking about a very important issue and the Planning & Zoning Boar
seemed to feel that 168 rooms was appropriate. In regard to height, th.
Dorchester is one of the prettiest buildings in the City and is higher
than this building will be. In response to the comments made by Mr.
Pitts, he feels that the beach property owners have been fairly heard
and articulately represented here.
Vice-Mayor Bird took the chair at the request of the Mayor.
Mrs. Durante moved to sustain the recommendation of the
Planning & Zoning Board, subject to the conditions that were sent to
Council with the City Attorney's letter of October 28th and the note
from the City Engineer's memorandum of July 14, 1980, seconded by Mayor
Weekes. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mrs.
Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - No; Mr. Young - No; Mayor Weekes - Yes.
Said motion failed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Mayor Weekes returned to the chair and declared a recess,
the time being 9:00 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:05 P.M.
Mr. Bird moved to au.thorize the building of a hotel on the
Seacrest site, the density not to exceed 120 rooms and the height not to
exceed 4 stories above ground, subject to the limitations set forth in
the City Attorney's memorandum today as modified by Mr. Church's' memo-
randum of July 14, 1980, and any mutually agreeable change to the con-
ditions by both parties would be acceptable to Council.
Mr. Bird withdrew the motion upon the advice of the City
Attorney.
Mr. Bird moved to reconsider the Seacrest Hotel, seconded by
Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the building of a hotel on the
Seacrest hotel site, at a density not to exceed 120 rooms, at a height
not to exceed 4 stories above ground, subject to the conditions set
forth in the City Attorney's memorandum, subject to the note in Mr.
Church's memorandum of July 14, 1980, and a stipulation that'any mutu- -
ally agreeable change to the conditions by the Administration and the
d~veloper would be acceptable to Council, seconded by Mr. Young.
The City Attorney advised that the motion should indicate
that the approval, at this stage, is a conceptual approval subject to
the conditions enumerated and subject further to the applicant sub-
mitting complete plans to the City Council for its approval.
Mr. Bird amended his motion as advised by the City Attorney,
seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird- Yes; Mrs. Durante -No; Mr. Scheifley- Yes; 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 questioned how they arrived at the number of rooms. She thinks
that when they're dealing with something of this magnitude, they should
be on solid ground rather than pulling numbers out of the air. Mr.
Scheifley stated that he thinks they have given it a very deep and
thorough analysis.

9.9. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting held on October 20th, recommended by unanimous vote that a
six foot drainage easement within the Moore's Landing property, located
north of N.E. 8th Street between Andrews Avenue and the Intracoastal
Waterway be abandoned, subject to the City Engineer's memorandum of
