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, May 29, 1979, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City
Manager J. Eldon Mariott, Assistant City Attorney Clifford Shandy, and
Council members Malcolm T. Bird, Charlotte G. Durante, James H.
Scheifley, and Willard V. Young, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Mayor Weekes.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America was given.
3. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of May 14, 1979, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
4.a.1. Mr. Bird stated that over the holiday weekend a burglar
alarm went off for seven hours in Delray Beach. He asked if some sort
of self-killing device could be put fnto burglar alarms so that they
would go off after a certain period of time, such as a half hour.
Mayor Weekes stated that he has complained about this
several times in the past and he asked the City Manager to check into
it.
4.a.2. Mr. Bird asked for a status report in regard to energy
conservation in Delray Beach.
· 4.b.1. Mrs. Durante stated that at the Delray Affair they had a
suggestion box for City improvements. One suggestion regarded having
slanted sidewalks for the handicapped. She also read a newspaper
article concerning this same situation.
The City Manager agreed to check into this to see if any-
thing is being done to correct this situation.
4.c.1. Mr. Young stated that he would like to establish a pro- ~
Cedure where the Financial Advisory Board would receive progress
reports for upcoming budgets.
It was Council's consensus to discuss this at a workshop
meeting.
4.d.1. Mayor Weekes presented a proclamation proclaiming the week
of June 1 - June 10, 1979 as "National Safe Boating Week".
4.d.2. Mayor Weekes informed Council that a meeting date must be
set to resolve the dispute between the City administration and the
firefighters.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he feels sufficient time should
be allowed for each Council member to transmit his thoughts through
the City Manager's office.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this meeting
for Thursday, May 31, 1979, at 4:30 P.M.
5.a. Mr. Herbert Bernenko stated that he is here as a peti-
tioner requesting that Council review an action of the Community
Appearance Board. On May 9, 1979, the CAB granted approval to
Hamilton House on S. Ocean Boulevard to make certain changes in the
air conditioning installation on its roof. He believes that the CAB
would not have given its approval had all the facts been available at
that time. He lives at 1225 S. Ocean Boulevard, immediately adjacent
to Hamilton House. His apartment and others on the north side of
Banyan House overlook the roof of Hamilton House; its roof has always
been an unsightly mess. Hamilton House has come before the CAB asking
that it be allowed to replace the single unit with individual units
creating again an unsightly mess. These units effect the enjoyment of
their view, diminish the value of their apartments and they are in
full view of visitors on the beach. The appearance of Hamilton House
is out of keeping with the character of the area. It clearly goes
contrary to the criteria established by the Community Appearance Board
which requires "exterior design and appearance of quality such as not
to cause the nature of the local environment to depreciate in appear-
ance and value". Hamilton House claimed that replacing the single
unit with individual units was called grandfathering in and also
claimed that there were no objections from others in the area to this
change; that is not true. He has a letter to the CAB signed by others
in the area objecting to the manner in which this was done. He
appeared before the CAB at its last meeting on May 23, 1979, he feels
that the CAB now has some serious reservations about the proposal of
Hamilton House. He requested the CAB to reconsider its approval and
rescind its action of May 9th. They would like to be assured that
whatever is done will be surrounded by conditions that consider fully
appearance and aesthetic factors. They request that Council take such
action as is necessary to reopen the matter.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he checked thoroughly into this.
He went over to the Banyan House and looked at the situation. He
talked to Mr. Bernenko and to Roy Simon, who was acting chairman at
this meeting on May 9th. There are a lot of things wrong with this
case. He has the minutes of that meeting and they state that the
proposal is to have the air conditioning unit covered. In looking at
all of the six or seven highrises in Delray Beach, every one is en-
closed except this one. There are two serious mistakes in these
minutes; the word "unit" should be changed to "units" and it never was
originally hidden so he doesn't know what that refers to.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Council refer this case back to
CAB for reappraisal.
Mayor Weekes asked if Council has the authority to remand
it back to the CAB. As he recalls, the ordinance says that an appli-
cant who has been denied may appeal that decision to the City Council.
They've never had a situation like this arise .
The Assistant City Attorney stated that if there has been
an error committed in the report or the minutes, it could be referred ~
back for correction but if it's a matter of having a rehearing, that's
something else.
Mayor Weekes stated that he is in sympathy with Mr.
Bernenko's cause but he doesn't want to do anything that might not be
in accordance with the ordinance and leave them liable for action from
the petitioner in this matter. He hopes that they can remand it back
and that the CAB does rescind it.
Mr. Scheifley withdrew his previous motion and made the
following motion: Mr. Scheifley moved that the City Council suggest
to the Community Appearance Board that they reconsider this case and
reappraise the situation, seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call said
motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager informed Council that he discovered that
the processing of the issuance of a permit is now going on in the
Building Inspection Department and he instructed the Building Depart-
ment not to issue a permit today.
Mr. Bird suggested that Council instruct somebody to
contact Hamilton House and see if they can handle this matter amicably.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
The City Manager stated that he thinks that Mr. Bird's
suggestion is a good idea and that it should be done as the next step
but should that fail then they should ask the CAB to reconvene at the
earliest possible time and rehear the case.
Mr. Scheifley added to his motion that the CAB meet at the
earliest possible time, seconded by Mr. Young. Said amendment to the
motion passed unanimously.
- 2 - 5/29/79
5.b. Mr. Samuel Jenkins asked wh~5~is being done by the Housing
Authority in regard to rehabilitation of housing. His house is leak-
ing. The City Manager asked Mr. Jenkins to contact him and they would
discuss this item.
6.a. The City Manager reported that the Sunrise Kiwanis Club
would like permission from the City to sponsor a celebration during
the month of July and this would be on Saturday, July 28th. They
would be using a portion of the beach and possibly some of the parks
on the beach. Approval is recommended with the direction to be under
the supervision of the Parks & Recreation Department.
Mr. Bird moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b. The City Manager reported that Mr. Serafin Leal, Candeub,
Fleissig & Associates, is scheduled to present a final report at the
meeting tonight with respect to work his firm has done on a Housing
and Neighborhood Revitalization Program under a contract entered into
by the City on October 30, 1978.
Mr. Serafin Leal presented Memorandum #3 to Council and
gave an outline of the program including the requirements of a
"delivery system" to improve housing and neighborhood conditions in
the City, the actions necessary to implement the program, the program
costs and objectives and the proposed administrative structure of the
Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and the "delivery system".
Mayor Weekes thanked Mr. Leal for his report and stated
that he thinks Mr. Leal's proposals are realistic and are something
that can be accomplished.
The City Manager stated that Mr. Leal's report should be
received, taken under advisement and referred to a workshop, prior to
which time the City Attorney's office and the Administration in con-
junction with further conversation with Mr. Leal would take a close
look at it and consider it at workshop.
6.c. The City Manager stated that pursuant to informal workshop
decision on May 21st, Council is to give consideration tonight to ~
authorizing payment of a $200 special assessment to Palm Beach County
Municipal League to cover increased costs and additional expenses
incurred this year. The City's dues are currently $400 per year.
Mr. Young left the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Bird moved that Council authorize the special assess-
ment of $200 to be paid to the Palm Beach County Municipal League,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.d. The City Manager reported that at the workshop meeting on
May 21st, council agreed to modify the compensation arrangement of the
City Attorney to allow a percentage fee in connection with bond issues
and to authorize the City Attorney in accordance with this modifica-
tion, to act as local bond counsel for the City in connection with the
pending Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Issue. A letter from the City
Attorney for Council approval of this modification authorization has
been furnished to Council.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the City Attorney's letter
dated May 25, 1979 with regard to compensation on the upcoming bond
issue, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Young returned to the Chambers at this time.
6.e. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of
an application from American Freight System, Inc., for City water
service to serve Section 14-46-42, 14045 North Military Trail, located
outside the City. The applicant, having executed the City's standard
agreement for the providing of water service outside the City con-
ditioned upon the applicant's property being annexed into the City
when such is eligible for annexation, approval of the applicant's re-
quest for water service is recommended. The request for City water
service is to serve a ten acre parcel of land. This will serve a
Terminal Transport facility.
- 3 - 5/29/79
The City Manager stated that this site is adjacent to the
western boundary of Military Trail which puts it on the other side of
the trail. He had some apprehension about whether to go to the agenda
or to go to workshop with it. The applicant has made his deposit of
$5,112 with the City which would be for the water service connection
charge plus extension of facilities to serve the property. The reason
for the application is because their well water has gone bad and they
need a viable source of water.
Mr. Bird moved that Council approve the request for water
service for American Freight System, Inc., seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Said motion passed unanimously.
At Mr. Scheifley's request, the Assistant City Attorney
agreed to look into the expiration dates on this type of agreement.
Mr. Bird asked if the City is legally bound to annex this
property if and when the time comes that they want in.
Mrs. Durante stated that at the time that they are eligible,
then the City can make the decision.
Mr. Young stated that if the City agrees to annex these
people, would they then have to take in anyone who is west of Military
Trail? The Assistant City Attorney stated that the fact that they
accept one would not make it binding on them to accept any other that
might apply.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.f. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council approve the execution of a Developers Utility Service Agree-
ment with American Freight System, Inc., for the providing of water
service to the ten acre parcel of land located at 14045 North Military
Trail. $3,750 will be deposited in the Developers Fund Account to
cover this facility.
Mr. Bird moved that Council approve execution of a
Developers Utility Service Agreement with American Freight System,
Inc., seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6,g. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council authorize execution of an agreement between the City and Palm
Beach County for the County to accept the maintenance of the traffic
signal on Linton Boulevard and U.S. No. 1 (SR-5). The agreement
provides for the County to assume the maintenance responsibility for
the traffic signal, which is in line with our practice as the County
is prepared to accept all signals which meet Traffic Control Device
Standards. This signal is currently being upgraded as part of the
improvements to Linton Boulevard in this area.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council authorize the execution of
the agreement between the City and Palm Beach County to accept the
maintenance of the traffic signal on Linton Boulevard, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of
an application from Elton C. and Delores I. Birkenstock for City water
service to serve the N.W. corner of U.S. No. 1 and LaMat. (2750 South
Federal Highway), located outside the City. The applicant having
executed the City's standard agreement for the providing of water ser-
vice outside the City conditioned upon the applicant's property being
annexed into the City when such is eligible for annexation, approval
of the applicant's request for water service is recommended. The
request for City water service is to serve a place to be known as
Ike's Restaurant located on approximately one acre of land. This will
be a 60-seat eat-in or drive-through fast food restaurant.
Mr. Birkenstock, applicant, stated that they purchased
this property with the idea in mind of building a good fast-food
restaurant. He is an architect and has done quite a bit of building.
They are going to have a function there Similar to Wendy's.
- 4 - 5/29/79
Mr. Bird moved for approval~'~f the water service for the
N.W. corner of U.S. No. 1 and LaMat, seconded by Mr. Young. Said
motion passed unanimously.

received from the Area Planning Board dated May 18th, requesting A-95
Clearinghouse Review and comment relative to Palm Beach County 208
Continuing Planning Process for special funding to implement the Palm
Beach County Areawide Waste Treatment Management Plan. The continua-
tion of funding for this program will have no adverse effects on the
local natural, social or economic environment and there is no dupli-
cation between efforts of the proposed program and those of any re-
lated local projects or programs. Approval is recommended.

(Copy of Ordinance No. 30-79 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.
Mr. Mike Tighe stated that he owns a business at 1900 _
North Federal Highway in Delray Beach. He thinks that part of this
proposal is discriminatory. The only people that are allowed to fly
any type of a banner are developers or builders.
Upon question by Mayor Weekes, the Assistant City Attorney
stated that he thinks it is within the discretion of the City to make
that distinction and to rule out banner signs entirely, or to allow
them on a certain type of basis, as has already been indicated.
Mrs. $~endell Hobbs, 1026 Poinsetta Road, stated that she
.would like to speak in regard to item 33 of the sign ordinance which
deals with political signs. One of the biggest problems today is the
lack of interest in our political process. It is, therefore, necessary
that leaders in political parties and candidates educate the populace
both in their rights and privileges in voting. A sign in the can-
didate's office or above the political headquarters is needed to bring
the people in, to make an informed electorate. The criteria of the
Sign Ordinance Committee has to do with health, morality, aesthetics,
adequate light and air and the general welfare. She can see no reason
- 8 - 5/29/79
why a political sign would affect these criteria. Passage of this
provision to the sign ordinance would be taking away the public's
inalienable right to freedom and justice and the proposed provision
would most likely not stand up in a court of law. In her opinion
passing the entire proposed sign ordinance just to get a few well
thought of provisions passed immediately is outrageous. It would be
better to amend the ordinance tonight or make some allowances for
hardship cases that have been building up.
Mr. Wendell Hobbs, 1026 Poinsetta Road, stated that the
thing that bothers him is the same section his wife spoke of but for a
different reason. Any responsible citizen has always been concerned
with the low amount of turnout of votes. For instance, two of our
Council members were elected on 23% of the registered voters last
spring. This means that 23% of the City is running the City. In the
1978 gubernatorial election, only 22% voted. He has always fought all
his life to get a larger turnout so that more people could have a
voice in how we run our city. This provision in the ordinance is the
exact contrast, as far as he is concerned, and it should certainly be
taken out of there so that they can get more representation in our
local, county, state and national offices.
Mrs. Suzanne Bird, 610 S. Ocean Boulevard, stated that she
has a business on East Atlantic Avenue that seems to be affected by
the sign ordinance according to the way she reads the amendments. She
talked with one of the members of the Sign Ordinance Committee and he
said that it is not the intent of this committee that her kind of sign
be affected. However, she reads in Section 3-12 to the effect that
signs that protrude from the building over a right-of-way or a public
sidewalk will be in violation. She feels that that needs to be clari-
fied; she doesn't understand it.
Mr. Bird stated that in case anyone is thinking that this
only affects Mrs. Bird's sign, he'd like to make it clear that this
also affects other businesses in the area.
Mrs. Bird named several businesses besides hers that will
be affected by this ordinance.
In response to a questioD from Mr. Bird, Mr. Tore Wallin ~
stated that one of the things the committee was trying to get away
from was signs hanging over the right-of-way. If signs are over a
public right-of-way, they are illegal because they axe on City prop-
erty.
Mrs. Durante stated that at First Reading of this ordi-
nance, Mr. Bird had some other questions to be cleared up. She could
not make it to the Sign Committee meeting. When she got this ordi-
nance today, she didn't see any changes and she thought that the
purpose of that meeting was for the committee to make some changes
between First and Second Reading. This is a lengthy process. It
would be impossible for the Council to sit here tonight and iron these
things out. She has sat with the committee on a lot of meetings and
this one thing about projecting signs over the street is already in
the sign ordinance; it was not changed.
Mrs. Bird stated that she understands that and she thought
the amendments would clarify and update the existing ordinance. She
doesn't feel the amendment accomplishes this. She is appealing to
Council not to pass something that is in error before it gets passed.
In Section 3-12 Number 10, handbills, throwaways and circulars are not
defined; the only term that is defined there is vehicular signs. She
wants to know if she is in violation of the law when she posts hand-
bills in her window as requested by one of the local civic organiz-
ations.
Mayor Weekes stated that she is not in violation; she can
post anything she wants inside of her window but she can't post it
outside.
Mr. Ralph Dye, S. Ocean Boulevard, stated that he feels
that Mr. & Mrs. Hobbs very well articulated their position. He feels
that this deliberative body with its part in the political process
ought to be considering very carefully the objections that they speci-
fied.
- 9- 5/29/79
Mr. Greathouse, owner of Rainbow Signs, stated that they
had the same problem up north of putting the political signs in the
yards and leaving them there for days, months and even years after the
election was over with. ~at they did there was pass an ordinance
stating that if the signs were not taken down within a week after the
election was over, there would be a $5 fine per day to the participant
of the sign. As a result, within a week after the election there
wasn't a sign in town; every one of them was taken down.
Mr. Wallin stated that the Committee recommends that
Council pass the ordinance as presented tonight. They know that it is
not a perfect ordinance and that there is going to have to be many
amendments but he suggests getting it at least to a point where they
can start working on it.
Mr. Greathouse stated that he feels that Council should
come up with something in the sign ordinance where there could be a
temporary sign put up for a certain length of time without having to
go through all the hassles.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he has been officially involved
with the City for about fifteen years. This is one of the questions
which has been discussed and worked for all of those years. It is a
subject in which he does not think there will ever be a satiSfactory
answer or ordinance. It's been amended and there's been committees
working on and off for years. The choice that this Council has to
make is whether to pass an ordinance which has imperfections, as any
sign ordinance always will, or not to have any at all. If they are
going to try and wait until they get a sign ordinance which no one has
any objections to, then they are never going to have a sign ordinance.
If they send it back to the committee, it'll come back a year or so
from now and they'll have to go through the same thing again.
Mr. Bird stated that after the First Reading on this
ordinance, he met with representatives of the Sign Committee and he
expressed to them some of the same things that were brought up today.
He feels that the ordinance is unfair and unenforceable. He doesn't
see any reason why they can't control signs through the use of the
Building Deparment. ~
Mrs. Durante stated that she would like to see Council go
ahead and adopt this ordinance tonight and keep the Sign Ordinance
Committee working and have them meet again to work on those other
things. All of the things brought up tonight are presently in the
ordinance anyway so this ordinance is not really harming anybody, it's
just not helping.
Mr. Young stated that he agrees with Mr. Scheifley that if
they don't do something about this, they'll never have a sign ordi-
nance.
Mayor Weekes stated that one thing that goes on continu-
ously on this Council is the sign ordinance. You cannot get a perfect
sign ordinance. In the matter of equity, they should go ahead and
pass this and immediately refer it to the committee.
Mr. Scheifley asked if they could work out some arrange-
ment whereby if they pass this ordinance whether they could get the
benefit of Mr. Bird's recommendations on the committee.
Mr. Bird stated that he had an hour and a half of the Sign
Ordinance Committee's time and he made his input. He is not in favor
of the ordinance, as it stands, but he would be happy to meet with the
committee and assist them. He would like to see them move ahead with
recommended changes as soon as possible.
Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 30-79
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr.
Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
- 10 - 5/29/79
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley stated that he is voting
for this with the understanding that the committee is going to'con-
sider all suggestions made where there may be imperfections and also
with the understanding that Mr. Bird will continue to give his input
to the committee. He really expects some amendments to come back
within the next three or four months.
The Assistant City Attorney stated that it was understood
at the last committee meeting that they would work immediately on a
temporary sign definition and consider these other suggestions made by
Mr. Bird.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

would be fostering a similar problem to one they have already created
