10-09-78 OCTOBER 9, 1978
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,
October 9, 1978, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, and City Manager
J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
Robert D. Chapin, Charlotte G. Durante, Aaron I. Sanson, IV.,and James
H. Scheifley, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Dr. William L. Fischer,
Unity of Delray Beach.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States
~-{ America was given.
3. Mr. Chapin moved for the approval of the minutes of the
r-~gular meeting of September 25, 1978, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Mr. Scheifley abstained from voting
due to his absence at the last meeting.
4.a.1. Mr. Sanson stated that all of them are aware of the situa-
tion developing with the sailboats collecting on the north beach. He
went up there and looked at it this weekend and it really does appear
to be getting out of hand and he hopes that Council will address this
question in the future.
4.a.2. Mr. Sanson stated that a copy of a resolution has been re-
ceived from the City of Boynton Beach relative to their resolving to
try to have the South Florida Water Management District members changed
to elected officials instead of appointed officials as they are now.
The question has come up as to whether Delray Beach should pass a
similar resolution. He feels that it is an item that should definitely
be given attention.
It was the consensus of Council that the City should adopt
a similar resolution. The City Attorney was instructed to prepare a
resolution similar to the one passed by Boynton Beach for the next
Council meeting.
4.a.3. Mr. Sanson stated that he visited the Atlantic Dunes Park
this weekend and he is concerned because the parking lots are fully
operational now, yet may people are continuing to park on the east
side of the road. He suggested that the City Administration might post
some "no parking" signs on that side of the road.
The City Manager stated that the last he heard on this matter,
permission was being sought from DOT to post the signs and that he
would check into the matter further.
4.a.4. Mr. Sanson noted that some time back the City signed a water
and sewer agreement with Woods of Southridge which is a county pocket.
He was wondering why this piece of property is not subject to being
annexed right away and asked permission to have the City Attorney sit
down and work with him on this and look at it from a legal standpoint
and see whether there is some way the City could annex this property.
Council agreed to Mr. Sanson's request.
4.b.1. Mayor Weekes presented a proclamation proclaiming Sunday,
November 19, 1978 as "Shrine Hospital Day". A member of the Shriners
of North America accepted the proclamation and reported on the various
hospitals that benefit from the Shrine activities.
5. There were no public requests from the floor.
6.a. The City Manager had no items to present that were not on
the agenda.
6.b. The City Manager recommended that Council skip over this
item.
6.c. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council authorize Russell & Axon to prepare a user charge and cost
recovery System with respect to sewer service charges, the concept of
which is to be formulated by Russell & Axon, the City Administration
and the City Attorney and recommended to City Council at a subsequent
meeting. This was discussed at the October 2nd workshop meeting.
The City Attorney suggested that Council take up item 6.c.
and item 6.d. together and authorize Russell & Axon to do a sewer
rate study involving ail sewer rates charged by the City of~Delray
Beach and also analyzing the rates charged under the Developers Util-
ity Service Agreement, the type of which is listed in 6.1. in the
agenda.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council authorize the firm of Russell
& Axon to prepare a cost analysis with respect to sewer and water
connection fees; secondly, with respect to sewer rate study and,
thirdly, rate study in connection with the Develope~Utility Service
Agreement, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Sanson made a substitute motion that
this item be put out to competitive bid. The motion died for lack of
a second.
The roll was called to the motion at this time.
6.e. The Mayor reported that as discussed at the October 2nd
workshop meeting, Council is to give consideration to establishing a
City annexation policy for land west of Military Trail.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council establish a City policy that
the City's reserve area be reduced from 1320 feet west of Military
Trail to the center line of Military Trailtand that the City adopt as
its official policy that henceforth there shall be no annexations
west of the center line of Military Trail and that the City Attorney's
office be authorized to prepare the documentation necessary to make
that change effective as part of the City's comprehensive plan and
put it back on a formal Council agenda, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.f. The City Manager reported that Council determined at its
October 2nd workshop meeting when discussing Planning & Zoning Board
memorandum dated September 22, 1978 to consider appointing a committee
at tonight's meeting with respect to annexation of County pockets.
Since that workshop meeting, Mike Brody has called and offered his
services as a member of the committee should Council so desire.
Mayor Weekes stated that he attended the Board of Directors
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday and the subject was
discussed there. One of the members of that Board came up with a
thought that we might have more success with this endeavor if it were
fronted by someone other than the City itself. It would not change
the thrust of it, or the fact that Council would appoint the committee,
but it would have a certain public relations effect, in that the people
who are going out and doing the actual legwork and contacting the
people living in the pockets are not directly from the City. The
Chamber of Commerce recommended Bill Ward who lives in a pocket to be
appointed to the committee. The President of the Chamber of Commerce,
Tom Smith, also lives in a pocket and he said he would be the first to
agree to be annexed.
Mr. Chapin stated that he feels that an independent group
without bias can do a far better job in making an unemot'~nal, sound,
economic approach. It was the Chamber who spawned the City Beautifi-
cation Committee, the City's Solicitation Committee and the Beach
Restoration Action Committee. He thinks that the City should remove
itself directly from participation in this effort.
- 2 - 10/9/78
Mr. Scheifley stated that getting a group outside of the
City Council is an excellent idea. There are a number of prominent
people living in the pockets who will fight this.
The Mayor stated that it was suggested they appoint a seven
person committee. They have eight people suggested and they need to
at least add a realtor to the group and from those nine people, they
need to appoint seven, one of which shall be the representative from
the Chamber of Commerce, which will be Bill Ward, and leave open a
representative from the Board of Realtors and let them make that
appointment.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council approve an ad hoc committee
to serve under the auspices of the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce,
that is their director and their staff, to work on this problem of
convincing those approximately 55 property owners who are within our
geographical boundaries to voluntarily annex into our City; the
following seven members to serve on that committee: Phyllis Plume,
Leo Blair, Jack Gomery, Roger Saberson, Bill Young, Ron Sanson and
Bill Ward; and that this group select a chairman and that this chair-
man keep this group advised of its efforts on a 30 day basis.
Mayor Weekes asked Mr. Chapin if he deliberately omitted
the Board of Realtors.
Mr. Chapin stated that he felt that when this was discussed
at workshop they arrived at a workable group of seven and he would
very much like to have the Board of Realtors involved and he would
not object to expanding this to a nine member group and to include
Mr. Brody and a member of the Board of Realtors. Mr. Chapin suggest-
ed that Mr. Brody and a member of the Board of Realtors act as alter-
nates. Mr. Scheifley seconded the motion.
Mrs. Plume stated that she feels that a committee of nine
members would be fine and she is opposed to having alternates.
Mr. Chapin changed his motion to include nine members on
the committee including Mr. Brody and a representative to be desig-
nated by the Delray Beach Board of Realtors, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Chapin stated that at the workshop' last week there was
an item regarding his proposal for a potential interlocal agreement
with the County. That is not on the agenda tonight because the City
Attorney's office was overindulged with legal work but he has been
informed that it will be on the agenda two weeks from tonight.
6.g. The City Manager reported that at a conference held recently
and participated in by the City Managers of Boynton Beach and Delray
Beach, interested citizens, the Principal of Atlantic High School and
Law Enforcement Agencies of Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and the County
Sheriff's Department, a judgment was arrived at that the most econom-
ical and most feasible way of providing the needed minimum law enforce-
ment protection and security at the home football games at Atlantic
High School would be for the Cities of Delray Beach and Boynton Beach
to each pay $180.00 per season which would be the equivalent of each
City providing for the expense of one deputy at each of the five home
games. This $180.00 expenditure would not be taken to Council were it
not for the fact that it would be used for a purpose at a location
outside of Delray Beach. Although the location is outside Delray Beach,
the expenditure would certainly be for a municipal purpose in that it
would be for the benefit of Delray Beach participants and residents.
Approval is therefore recommended.
The City Attorney stated that the amount of money is not
significant, however, he feels that the type of request that is being
made here is the type that is increasingly being made to cities and
counties throughout Florida and gradually the amounts will increase,
not necessarily in this functional area but in others. He is con-
cerned because he feels that it is taking funds, in essence, from
- 3 - 10/9/78
Delray tax dollars and turning them over to another governmental
entity who has taxing power to perform a function that they are
supposed to perform with the funds they receive under that authority.
This type of approach could be used to justify expenditures for school
books, which are within the control of the Palm Beach County School
Board, to justify expenditures for Sheriff's road patrol in areas out-
side the City. There is no question that providing law enforcement
officers at a football game is a public purpose and a public function
but it really comes down to him as a public purpose for which agency?
In view of the fact that each agency does have the taxing power and
is supposed to perform these respective functions, he feels that this
is a borderline situation and that this type of request will be brought
back to the Council as aJprecedent.
Mr. Scheifley stated that there is no question that this is
a worthy cause but it is just one more step in participating in
another function which is going to lead inevitably to a metropolitan
form of government.
Mrs. Durante stated that she agrees with the City Attorney.
She wonders what the County is doing with the tax dollars that they
collect. She is paying them tax dollars already. Mr. Sanson also
agreed with the City Attorney's statements.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council pass a resolution to the Palm
Beach County School Board requesting that the County School Board
provide adequate security for the attendees at the Atlantic High School
sporting events.
Upon request from the other members of Council, Mr. Chapin
added to his motion that the City administration communicate in writing
with Earl Hawk, principal of Atlantic High School advising Mr. Hawk
of our sympathy with the problem but we feel that the proper financial
source for funding of this request is the Palm Beach County School
Board and not the City of Delray Beach, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.h. The City Manager reported that changes in the Code of Ordi-
nances reflected in the Conference Memorandum and Addendum and author-
iz~ng the Municipal Code Corporation to prepar~ proofs of the new code
are to be considered by Council tonight. This was discussed at the
October 2nd workshop meeting.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council approve the changes in the
Code of Ordinances as reflected in the Conference Memorandum and
Addendum and authorize the Municipal Code Corporation to prepare
proofs of the new codes, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.i. The City Manager reported that the following two bids were
received for extension of the raw water main to Well l-W:
Bidder Quotation
B. A. T. Pipeline Contractors $~8,48Q.00
West Palm Beach
Barile Excavating & Pipeline Co. 11,657.00
Lake Park
It is recommended that the award be made to the low bidder, B. A. T.
Pipeline Contractors in the amount of $8,480.00 with funds to come
from the 1972 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds.
Mrs. Durante moved that the award be made to the iow bidder,
B. A. T. Pipeline Contractors for the amount of $8,480.00 for the
extension of the raw water main, seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion
passed unanimously.
- 4 - 10/9/78
6.~.. The City Manager reported that as was discussed at the
October 2nd workshop meeting, it is recommended that Council approve
an amendment to the City - Russell & Axon agreement relative to pay-
ment of mileage expense at the standard City mileage rate in effect
at the time the mileage was incurred.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council approve the amendment to
the City - Russell & Axon agreement relative to payment of mileage
expense at the standard City mileage rate in effect at the time the
mileage was incurred, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.k. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
authorize approval of Change Order No. 2 - Sanitary Sewer Improvements
- Round II, which decreases the contract by $2,515.81 and increases
the completion time by 76 calendar days. The reason for the decrease
in price was an adjustment of final quantities. Less pipe and less
asphalt replacement were required than originally planned. The time
extension was necessary due to the fact that electric power was not
available at the lift station site in time to complete the project as
planned. The total adjusted contract price is $361,737.24.
Mr. Chapin moved that the Change Order No. 2 for the sanitary
sewer improvements - Round II be approved, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.1. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
approve the execution of a Developers Utility Service Agreement with
High Point of Delray Builders, Inc.~ for the providing of water and
sewer service to the area described as High Point of Delray, Section
VII (Phase I). $14,800 will be deposited in the Developers Fund
account to cover 148 units @ $100 each.
Mrs. Durante moved for the execution of the Developers
Utility Service Agreement with High Point of Delray Builders for the
amount of $14,800 to be deposited in the Developers Fund account,
seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.m. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
approve a 12-foot easement deed between the City and Florida Power &
Light at S.W. 6th Street between S.W. 8th Avenue and S.W. 14th Avenue
in order for Florida Power & Light to provide overhead service to the
irrigation pump at the cemetery. There is no money involved and this
easement lies wholly within City property.
The City Attorney suggested that this be made revocable in
30 days notice.
Mr. Sanson moved that Council approve a 12-foot easement deed
between the City and Florida Power & Light at S.W. 6th Street between
S.W. 8th Avenue and S.W. 14th Avenue and that this easement deed be
revocable within 30 days notice, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion
passed unanimously.
6.n. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
authorize approval of Change Order No. 3 - Sanitary Sewerage Project,
Part C in the amount of $85,989.75, involving the following major items:
1) Adjustment of final quantities in accordance
with as-built measurements.
2) Additional pavement replacement to eliminate
patches down the middle of certain streets,
replace previously damaged pavement, and
eliminate certain drainage problems.
3) Furnishing and installing lift station and
force main No. 3lA to avoid dangerous excava-
tion under the Tropic Boulevard bridge.
- 5 - 10/9/78
The total adjusted contract price to date is $1,130,159.15 and will be
funded 100% by EDA.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Change Order No. 3 - Sanitary
Sewerage Project, Part C in the amount of $85,989.75 be approved,
seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a petition for a Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity was submitted to Council at its
meeting on September 25th. A public hearing, in compliance with Sec-
tion 26-7 of the City's Code of Ordinances, has been scheduled to be
held at this time for the purpose of receiving objections, if any, to
such additional license being issued. Following the public hearing,
Council should determine if additional cab service, with the City, is
needed and if the applicant, Giacomo Mazzeo d/b/a Metric Taxi is will-
ing and able to provide same. Council should then take whatever
action it considers to be appropriate.
A public hearing was held in compliance with Section 26-7
of the City's Code of Ordinances.
Mayor Weekes stated that all members of Council received a
copy of a letter from Mr. Thomas F. Burrows of Metropolitan Trans-
portation Company objecting to the granting of this Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity on the basis that the equipment presently
certified by the City is not being utilized due to the seasonal nature
of the business. They are only running a part of the cabs and he does
not believe that any more cabs are warranted in the City. This letter
is dated October 4, 1978.
Dolores Lopat, the former operations manager for Metropolitan
Transportation, stated that she was with the company for 3 months on a
trial basis due to the fact that he was putting the business up for
sale. He was closing the doors as of June, 1978 if no one wanted to
buy the business due to the fact that he could not run the business
because of his other entities; he is a realtor. He has offered to sell
the bUsiness to her. He has two automobiles, no air conditioning in
one and no meter in the other. She gave him an offer based on that;
he objected to the amount she offered. She feels another cab company
in this town is warranted due to' the population growth that is coming
up and also most of the companies in this town have not serviced the
area in the manner that they should. They concentrate on airport calls
and leave the poor local people astray.
The public hearing was closed.
The City Manager stated that he has two issues he would like
to bring up; one has to do with whether or not the City is actually
making all the inspections provided by ordinance with regard to taxi-
cabs and the answer is no. The second thing has to do with the Yellow
Cab Company. Every time a new application is made for one of these
certificates, the question is raised with regard to the Yellow Cab
Company and how they are operating. He has a report from the Build-
ing Inspection Department regarding a telephone call they say was
made to the cab company. They called the Yellow Cab Company today and
a female operator answered and the party calling asked if Yellow Cab
would pick up passengers in the City of Delray Beach and deliver them
within the City of Delray Beach. She answered yes, we do it all the
time and we have two cabs in the area at all times. Therefore, it is
his understanding that this report that was made by Yellow Cab Company
is not in compliance with their permit. That will be checked out
administratively and if they are not in compliance with the permit
then the proper action will be taken.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council approve a Certificate of Pub-
lic Convenience and Necessity for Mr. Mazzeo d/b/a Metric Taxi, for
five taxicabs, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
- 6 - 10/9/78
7.b. The Mayor acknowledged the minutes of the Beautification
Committee for the meeting held September 6, 1978 and noted that there
is a request in there for consideration of additional trash containers
at Atlantic Dunes Park.
The City Manager stated that five containers have been put
in the park and two have been put in the parking lot as a result of
that request.
In response to Mr. Sanson, Mr. Chapin stated that north of
where the gence is at Atlantic Dunes Park is private property owned by
the Seagate Hotel and Seagate Hotel, Inc.,has tried unsuccessfully to
regulate the use of its property from trespassers. Just north of that
is the south end of the public property and, by custom, people have
been using that as a boat ramp.
The City Manager stated that there is a project underway
that he thinks will largely resolve that problem of promiscuous parking
between the Seagate Club and Casuarina Road on the east side of the
street. There is a joint effort underway, most of which is being paid
by the Seagate Club and a small part by the City, which will result in
the sidewalk being extended and rather extensive beautification being
put in to prohibit parking in that area.
Mrs. Matthews, of the Beautification Committee, stated that
they have been trying to work on that for a long time. At one time
they came up with the idea that the Seagate Club might donate that land
to the City but the problem there is that the land is not owned; it is
leased on a long term lease by the Seagate Club. Mr. Winters had the
Parks and Recreation Department work out a very good arrangement with
them whereby a curb and sidewalk are going to be put in and the City
is participating in that cost. The City Horticulturalist has done a
very good-looking landscape plan and most of the cost will be paid for
by the Seagate Club. Permission has been granted from the DOT for
that curb and pretty soon it will look a lot better.
7.c. The City Manager reported that a communication has been re-
ceived from the Area Planning Board dated September 21st requesting A-95
Clearing House review and co~ents relative to Palm Beach County Board
of County Commissioners/Community Action Council, Supervision/Admini-
stration and General Community Programming FY 1978-79. The City
Manager sent a letter to the APB dated September 28th stating that the
program will have no adverse effects on the local natural, social or
economic environment and there is no duplication between efforts of
the proposed program and those of any related local projects or programs.
Council may either concur with the City Manager's letter or state its
disapproval.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council concur with the City Manager's
letter of September 28 to the Area Planning Board, seconded by Mr.
Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.d. The City Manager reported that a communication has been
received from the League of Women Voters of South Palm Beach County
requesting permission to solicit funds from November 1st through
November 10, 1978, approval of which is recommended by the Solicitations
Committee.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Council approve the request for the
solicitation of funds by the League of Women Voters as recommended by
the Solicitations Committee, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed
unanimously.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 82-78 encour-
aging business and light industry to locate in this area to supplement
the City's economic base and provide year round employment has been
prepared for Council consideration. This was discussed at the Sep-
tember 18th workshop meeting.
- 7 - 10/9/78
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 82-78:

Mr. Scheifley moved for the passage of Resolution No. 83-'78,
seconded by Mr. Chapin. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes.; Mr. Scheifley -

8.c. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 84-78 to close
access to Rainberry Lake, located in Section 7-46-43 on the south side
of Canal L-30, one-half mile west of Congress Avenue is before Council
for consideration. The Engineering Department considered the request
and have reported no reason to oppose it.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 84-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE APPLI-
CATION OF LAKESBERRY DEVELOPERS, INC., FILED
PURSUANT TO FLORIDA STATUTES 253.124 TO CLOSE
ACCESS TO RAINBERRY LAKE A/K/A LAKE KILLARNEY
FROM THE LAKE WORTH DRAINAGE DISTRICT CANAL.
(Copy of Resolution No. 84-78 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Church, City Engineer, pointed out the location of the
property on a map upon request from Council. He stated that the
developer who owns this entire tract would like to close the lake as
part of his development in order that he would have essentially a
lake where he could control boating, and water skiing and it would
provide a means of reduced noise. In order to do this the developer
requires the approval of various governmental agencies. The Palm
Beach County Health Department has approved this and has foumd no
adverse impact as a result of closing it. The Engineering Department
has reviewed it and recommend that the resolution be approved.
- 8 - 10/9/78
In response to Mr. Sanson, the City Attorney stated that
the lake is privately owned in the sense that the land around the lake
is privately owned and the bottom of the lake is owned by the devel-
oper. DER or the Department of Natural Resources will not consider
the permit until they receive an approval from the City.
Mr. Richard Siemens, the developer, stated that the lake
has been private since the time it was built. It is not a natural
lake. Initially, when that lake was built, there was no connection
between the lake and the canal, but since then, somebody opened it.
They intend to close the lake and keep it as a private lake. Even if
it were not closed, it would still be owned by the Rainberry Lake
Homeowners Association and be maintained by them. It is their intent
to control the traffic on the lake because there is some boat traffic
that takes place by people discharging their boats into the lake at
Lake Ida and coming around and then water skiing in that lake. What
happens eventually is that if they get enough traffic in there, they
are going to get bank erosion caused by boats and so forth as to
create a problem for the people who will some day be living there.
Mr. Chapin moved for the passage of Resolution No. 84-78
subject to corrections as stated by the City. Attorney, seconded by Mr.
ScheifIey. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes;
Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes
- Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

(Copy of Ordinance No. 72-78 is on file in the official

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.
Henry Skokowski, representing Mr. Paulson, stated that during
the First Reading, they were discussing the limitations of the time of
use on the uses which they have identified that would be appropriate
for this center. They have narrowed down their list to about 39 uses.
In reviewing that last request they noticed that they had originally
agreed to a 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. operation. One of the uses they
have down is a food store operation which may be a non-franchise type
convenience operation, a smaller food store. They would like Council
to consider allowing the time of use for that particular facility
being from 6:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. They are in agreement with the
7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. on all the other uses. The reason for it is
they think that there is a need for workers in the early morning hours
to perhaps have the use of a food store at 6:00 in the morning.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Sanson left the Council Chambers, the time being 9:02 P.M.
Upon question from Mr. Scheifley, The City Attorney stated
that he thinks that they could legally have one use that would have a
different hour of operation than the other uses and then it would be
a matter of whether or not that use continues to operate in a manner
which you think is appropriate and, if not, change the hours.
Mr. Scheifley moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 72-78
on Second and FINAL Reading with the conditions as outlined by the
City Attorney.
Upon the advice of the'City Attorney, Mr. Scheifley re-
worded his motion.
Mr. Scheifley moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 72-78
on Second and FINAL Reading with one minor amendment and that is that
of the 39 permitted uses, No. 16, food stores, be alloWed to open at
6:00 A.M. rather than 7:00 A.M. as all the others will and be open
until 11:00 P.M. and also on the condition that after a reasonable
period of time the hours of opening may be reviewed by Council for the
purpose of possible change, seconded Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr.
Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1
vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Chapin stated that he voted for this
ordinance on First Reading but he will vote against this ordinance
on Second Reading because he thinks it is very unfortunate to take an
analogy of spot zoning. When you have 39 uses, you put a burden upon
those who have the obligation to enforce an ordinance to specially
treat one of the 39 uses one way and all 38 uses another way.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mr. Sanson returned to the Council Chambers, the time being
9:10 P.M.
