10-23-78 OCTOBER 23r 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 23, 1R78, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, and
City Manager J. Eldon Mar±ott, 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 Rev. Paul Wierman,
First Presbyterian Church of Delray Beach.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America was given.~
3. Mr. Sanson moved for the approval of the minutes of the
regular meeting of October 9, 1978, and the special meeting of
October 2, 1978, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion, passed
unanimously.
4.a.1. Mrs. Durante reported that, as the City's representative
on the Community Development Advisory Committee, she attended the
meeting last Thursday night and they were advised that there will
be target area meetings with various City Councils to explain what
has been happening over the past three years and to discuss the
proposed projects for the next funding year.
Mrs. Durante presented a status report prepared by the
Project Director, Mr. John Greene, and outlined the categories
defined in the report.
Mrs. Durante noted the condemnation is not proceeding as
fast as they would like for it to. ~Delray Beach has just 14 homes
available for displaced people from condemned structures. All that
the cities are required to do is provide the building inspectors
to inspect all the properties. Now that the City has more building
inspectors, it is hoped they will be able to move faster on this
project.
4.b.1. Mr. Sanson stated that his term of office is coming to an
end and there are a few items he would like Council to take under
consideration, possibly at Workshop or some conven±ent time in the
future.
The items are as follows:
el) Proposed Seacrest Boulevard improvement.
Two years ago he initially brought up this subject
when Boynton Beach City Council was discussing it.
Mr. Sanson referred to a memo dated June 30, 1978,
from the City Manager, which stated that the improve-
ments are now going to start from approximately
Bethesda Hospital and N.E. 8th Street.
He still maintains the magnitude of these improvements
are going to be greater than what was originally
thought; there is going to be some taking of right-of-
way to widen the road.
Mr. Sanson referred to a memo from Mr. Robert Errigo,
Assistant to the City Engineer, dated June 30, 1978, and
as he understands from this memo and the M.P.O. meetings,
they will be commencing this project and going out to
bids in the near future.
Mayor Weekes noted that in the discussion with
Mr. Kahlert, they were led to believe there
would be some improvements in Delray Beach, but
there was no four laning along Seacrest Boulevard;
this should be followed up.
Mayor Weekes asked the City Manager to check into
this to determine what they intend to do in the
corporate limits of Delray Beach.
C2) Transportation Planning in this Area.
Mr. Sanson referred to the literature he gave
Council relating to the transportation planning
in this area, more particularly the agreements and
documents that are relating to the M.P. Organization.
There %re two things that need direction from Council:
[1) feasibility of forming an Ad Hoc Study
Committee to study the transportation needs
of Delray Beach,
whether or not there might be some courses to
pursue in the near future to try to assure the
four laning of A-1-A will not happen.
~3) Consider ImRlem~nting...an Impact Fee.
He had previously suggested implementing an impact
fee in the City of Delray Beach, which was supported
by the Planning & Zoning Board, and wondered whether
he could get together with some citizens to come up
with some suggested language or format for Council
to consider, and wanted to know if Council would
consider tying it into the issuance of building
permits, so that we could catch up w~.th some of
the building we have approved this last year.
Mr. Sanson asked if these items could be on the next Work-
shop meeting.
Mr. Weekes stated for the record he will be out of town
next Monday night, since it-is the 5th Monday, and a Workshop meeting
has not been scheduled. Mr. Sanson stated that would give him more
time to prepare.
Mr. Chapin commented that if there is a major issue facing
Delray Beach in 1979, it is traffic congestion. Studies show that
no roads or improvements are slated for Delray Beach until 1983, and
that Congress Avenue, Lake Ida Road, and Military Tra±l are operating
at 80 to 90% capacity, and he thinks Council should exercise some
leadership in this area
Mayor Weekes requested that Mr. Sanson have available for
Council when this is discussed, the five year road program for the
County.
~4) Fea~.ibility of Using Wastewater Affluent for Irrigation
Purpose~.
In July of this year he had brought up a preliminary
question to Council as to whether or not they might
want to consider the feasibility of using the waste--
water affluent from the new sewage treatment plant
for irrigation purposes, most specifically on the
golf courses. The reason for bringing this up was
that in May of this year, Boca Raton authorized an
engineering firm to conduct a study to use not only
for the golf course, but general irrigation purposes.
Mr. Sanson read from a newspaper article concerning
Boca Raton's report. Boca Raton has an affluent
system the same as we have. The results of that
study have come in, and the report stated that the
re-use of affluent for irrigation appears both feasible
and desirable for the sites under consideration in
Boca Raton. The area under consideration included
golf courses and highway median strips. He also cited
a report from Professors at F.A.U. that there is a
problem developing in providing water, and they felt
that large water users such as golf courses in this
area are finding it difficult to continue use of
private wells for irrigation, and this demand on the
potable water system could be averted if treated waste-
water affluent could be used for irrigation.
This was a preliminary report and there are still
many q~estions to be answered on the effect bacteria
and virus potentials that accompany the waste water,
whether there might be any danger to the public health.
Boca Raton has an outfall system and he felt that this
theory could be used'here in Delray, since our golf
course will be located so close to the sewage treatment
plant. He suggested that this might be researched.
Mayor Weekes concurred in getting some figure from
Russell & Axon.
Council concurred that the research should be done.
Mr. Sanson stated the report of Ross, Sarason, Bolton
& Wilder cost $16,000.
Mayor Weekes requested the City Manager to handle the
matter.
Mr. Scheifley commended Mr. Sanson for bringing up these
five points.
4.c. Mr. Chapin stated that he would like to publicly thank the
Mayor for his effective leadership in regard to the removal of a large
sign owned by one of the financial institutions in one of the county
pockets in this city on Southbound Federal Highway. Mayor Weekes stated
that a large measure of the credit should go to the citizens who pursued
the issue, and also to the officers, particularly the President and
Chairman of Southern Federal Savings & Loan, Mr. Grimditch, and his
staff. They are the owners of the property and had to resort to legal
means to get that sign down. He stated that he intended to write to
Mr. Grimditch tomorrow and thank him for his cooperation. Mr. Sanson
stated that Mr. Thistle, who works for Mr. Grimditch, handled the case
and he should be thanked also.
4.d.1 Mayor Weekes stated that at the last meeting an appeal was
made for the City to purchase a parcel of land at the corner of Lowson
Boulevard and Congress Avenue, by Mr. Kenneth D. McKenzie, on behalf of
his father-in-law. He was asked to read the following letter into the
record under date of October 17, 1978:
"Honorable Mayor Weekes and City Commissioners,
I would like to apologize and ask forgiveness for
my angry and aggressive actions before you at the October
16th meeting of the City Commission.
My conduct was demeaning to myself and more importantly,
to the honor of the Chambers. I wish I could retract the
disrespectful manner in which I ushered myself out of your
presence.
I would appreciate it if you would read this letter
into the public record.
Respectfully,
kS) KEN~!ETH D. McKENZIE"
4.d.2 Mayor Weekes stated tkat tkey kad just returned from the
Florida League of Cities Convention in Hollywood, and Vice Mayor Chapin
won the runner-up trophy in the tennis tournament for the City of Delray
Beach. Also, they were advised that Delray Beach won the traveling
trophy, but when the presentation was made it was given to someone
else. Mr. Chapin says he intends to find out why.
4.d.3 Mayor Weekes stated that he had received a communication
from the Mayor of the Borough of South Tyneside in England, and stated
that in England the Mayor is addressed as "His Worship". Mayor Bell
of South Tyneside sent felicitations from the City, and a pennant
from his city which has 250,000 citizens. Mayor Weekes stated that
he would like to respond to the Mayor and send one of the paper weights
from the City of Delray Beach. -
5. There were no public requests from the floor.
6.a.1 City Manager Mariott recommended that Council authorize the
execution of an agreement by motion, so that the City can collect
$21,600 , which is payment to the City of a developer's fee for the
development of Pines of Delray North, Phase 1.
Mr. Sanson moved that Council authorize the execution of
this agreement, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a,2 The City Manager reported that the following solicitations
were recommended by the City Solicitations Committee:
Daughters of Zion, Seventh Day Adventist Church of
Delray Beach, for solicitations, between November 20 -
December 2, 1978.
Delray Beach Public Library Association, Inc. for
March 4 through March 17, 1979.
Amara Shrine Temple of Lake Worth, November 15 through
November 19, 1978.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the recommendations of the City
Solicitations Committee for the three solicitation requests be
approved, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6ob. The City .Manager recommended that Council authorize Russell
& Axon to prepare plans, specifications and permit applications to
convert two additional filters to granular activated carbon in order to
increase the filter rates until the water plant expansion is completed.
The initial filter tests will be.completed by October 27th and Russell
& Axon will immediately prepare a report to the Palm Beach County Health
Department and the Department of Environmental Regulation showing the
results of the tests; while concurrently preparing an application for
a temporary operating permit for the increased filtration rate for that
filter. -
Mr. Sanson questioned whether there were 2 or 3 filters, and
Mr. Chapin explained that in the event the first proved to be su6cess-
ful, which it has, that the City would convert two additional to increase
the capacity from 12.1 million gallons per day to 15.1 million gallons
per day. ..
Mayor Weekes added that at first it was two, but as the City
got into it, it has been three.
Mr. Sanson commented on the activated charcoal filters and
stated from all the discussions he has heard there is a real possibility
the City will be forced to have activated.charcoal filters. He was
not in favor of this method because it is an extremely expensive process.
Mr. Chapin moved to approve the authorization of Russell &
Axon to prepare plans and specifications and permit applications for
water plant filtration conversions for up to a total Qf 3 of our 6
filters to charcoal filter carbon uses, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes commented that he agreed
with Mr. Sanson, having seen the way the Federal Government performs
in these matters. It was witnessed in the Solid Waste Facility, etc.,
and he thinks by the time our plant is complete, it is entirely
possible they might mandate something different. At the present time,
activated carbon is considered the best water treatment available, and
we have no real choice but to go ahead in the direction we are going.
Mr. Scheifley stated that State regulations and EPA regula-
tions conflict, but ~rObably in the 2-year period when we have our~
water plant, these things will be resolved.
The roll call was had at this time.
6.c. City Manager Mariott reported that as was decided informally
at the workshop meeting on October 16th, Council is to authorize
purchase of a $50 savings bond as an award to the winner of the City
flag contest. The Morikami Park Committee will handle publicity and
select three finalists. Council will choose the winner. December 15th
is'the entry deadline.
Mayor Weekes explained that the sister cities had requested
that we develop a flag for the City of Delray Beach, and the City
Council's thought was that we would ask the Morikami Park Committee
to spearhead a competition to select a flag, with the final 3 or 5
choices being presented to the Council for the final consideration,
and the Council would award a $50 savings bond to the person making
the ultimate design which was adopted.
Mr. Dean Kutchera, 3100 South Ocean Boulevard, Highland
Beach, Tel. 276-6442, Chairman of Sister City Flag Contest, appeared
before the Council and thanked the Council for act±ng on their
suggestion to authorize the official city flag. He stated that they
had appointed a committee and asked for guidance as to how the Council
wants them to proceed, i.e.,entry blanks, publicity, judging the
entries. Mr. Kutchera asked Council to appoint someone from the
City as a liaison. Mr. Scheifley stated that it was his thought that
when the Committee was appointed, all those problems would be handled
by the Committee, such as publicizing in the schools, newspapers,
television, art groups. Mrs. Durante concurred in this opinion, it
being her opinion that the Committee would bring the best 3 or 5, and
the Council would review them. Mr. Kutchera asked that they appoint
someone that the Committee could talk with, and to set guidelines.
Mayor Weekes agreed as to policy decisions that would have to be made,
and thought that it should be limited to someone from the City or
possibly from the County.
City Manager Mariott thought that the city's main interest
would be in getting the flag that would be the best city flag, regard-
less of where it comes from. Mayor Weekes appointed Mr. Scheifley to
act as Liaison with the Committee.
Mr. Chapin moved that the Council authorize the purchase of
a $50 savings bond, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.d. City Manager Mariott reported that as discussed at the
October 16th workshop meeting, it is recommended that Council author-
ize the request for $300 from the Delray Beach Police, Fire and
Rescue CB monitors to purchase stamps, envelopes, individual posters,
antenna and other miscellaneous expenses which funds are to come from
the Civic Betterment Account, which is to be funded by transfer from
the General Fund to that account.
- 5 - 10/23/78
Mr. Sanson moved that Council authorize a request for
$300 from the Delray Beach Police, Fire and Rescue CB Monitors
to purchase stamps, envelopes, individual posters, antenna and
other miscellaneous expenses, which funds are to come from the
Civic Betterment Account, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion
passed unanimously.
6.e. City Manager Mariott, recommended the Council ratify the
SCRWTD Board Budget for 1978-79, which was approved by the South
Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board at its
Quarter Annual meeting on October 12th.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the Council ratify the budget
for the SCRWTD Board for 1978-79, seconded by Mr. Chap±n. Said
motion passed unanimously.
At Mr. Sanson's request, Council gave their permission
for Mr. Sanson to establish a study group to make recommendations
to the SCRWTD Board for fringe benefits, travel expense and car
allowance for Mr. Carlson, and report to the Council.
6.f. City Manager Mariott presented SCRWTD Board Resolution
No. 4-78 relative to industrial and commercial waste, adopted by
the SCRWTD Board at its meeting on July 13th, for ratification.
City Attorney Saberson stated that at the last meeting it
was discussed as to whether there were any funds withheld which were
due the Sewer Board, and he has discussed this with EPA, and there
is not currently a request for payment pending with the EPA, which
is being withheld; the last request for payment was dated September
15th, which was approved. He talked with the Secretary at the office,
who informed him that a request for payment was being prepared, and
will be submitted. So, at this time the city needs to ratify this
resolution and the next one on the agenda.
The City Manager questioned whether it was sufficient to
pass ordinances dealing with sewer rates and industrial and commercial
waste regulations. City Attorney Saberson stated that the city will
have to adopt ordinances on both subjects as well as sewer rate
ordinance. He spoke with EPA today and he was read a letter that
was a follow-up to letter previously received indicating that the
payment of the city's grant of $188,000 was being withheld. Attorney
Saberson stated that since he was told in phone conversation that
these two inclusions in the-study that Russell & Axon did for the
City, which was submitted to EPA, were all right, EPA was asked to
include that in their letter; the City will be receiving that possibly
within the next week.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council ratify and approve the
action taken by the SCRWTD Board in adopting this resolution, seconded
by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.g. City Manager Mariott presented SCRWTD Board Resolution
No. 7-78 relative to sewer rates, and asked that the Council ratify
and approve the same.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council ratify and approve SCRWTD
Board Resolution No. 7-78 relative to sewer rates, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.h. City Manager Mariott recommended that Council authorize the
execution of Letters of Agreement between the City and Palm Beach
County CETA extending Special Project 132, Meter Installation, 8
employees; Special Project 133, Sub-standard Housing Improvement,
4 employees; Special Project 134, Trash Container Restoration, 15
employees; Special Project 135, East Side Parks & Recreational Area
Development, 7 employees; and Title II Maintenance Positions, 14
employees (60 employees total) from October 1, 1978 to December 31,.
1978.
- 6 - 10/23/78
Mrs. Durante moved that Council approve the Letters of
Agreement between the City and Palm Beach County CETA Program,
seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a communication has been
received from the Area Planning Board dated October 5th requesting
A-95 Clearinghouse review and comment relative to the Palm Beach
County Board of Commissioners Application to participate in the
Urban Homesteading Program.
The purpose of the program is to aid in the revitalization
of declining neighborhoods by decreasing vacancy, vandalism and
abandonment, and to encourage home ownership, and attract private
investment. The areas targeted as homestead areas are in the
Neighborhood Strategy Areas of Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and
Riviera Beach. ~
Mr. Schelfley stated that it is his understanding that
this is a county program, and we are being asked to put through the
Clearing House and get our approval so that they will be the sponsors
of the program. City Manager Mariott stated that was correct, as is
with all the county programs. Mrs. Durante stated that this is a
Community Development Program, and we have given all our responsibility
to the community development, which is under the County Commissioners.
Mr. Sanson stated on the A-95 projects, we, as an agency
affected by that project have the right to comment on our reactions to
it, and those comments are transferred first to the Area Planning Board
and the Regional Planning Council and they in turn will send on those
comments, accompanying their recommendations, to the proper State or
Federal agencies. A-95's are an opportunity to have local in-put into
these things, and it is thought maybe these should be looked at closely,
an~ comment in a more specific manner.
Mayor Weekes referred to a statement by Senator Stone made
at luncheon the previous week, that he believed many of the Federal
programs need to be abolished, but that as long as the programs are
there, the citizens of the State of Florida should take advantage of
them. Mr. Chapin stated that he concurred with Mayor Weekes'comment
that until the rules of the game are changed, he feels an obligation
tO the citizens of this community to be a part of re-vitalizing the
older declining neighborhoods in this community.
Mr. Chapin moved that the City Manager be authorized to
communicate to the Area Planning Board this city's approval, for
A-95 Clearing House review purposes, the County's application to
participate in the urban homesteading program, the intent to be to
revitalize the older declining neighborhoods within~our city, Boynton
Beach, and Riviera Beach in this county, seconded by Mr. Sanson.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Durante stated that she believed this has been the
best thing to have come down the pike from the CD program, and here
is a chance for Delray to participate and to get something done.
Mr. Sanson stated that there had been quite a bit of
discussion at the Florida League of Cities Convention on Revision #7,
which is the Constitutional revision on the November ballot. If,
in fact, you believe in this concept, you should support Revision #7.
7.b. City Manager Mariot~ reported a communication has been
received from the Area Planning Board dated October 6th requesting
A-95 Clearinghouse review and comment relative to the Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners/Palm Beach County Health
Department Application to participate in the Delray Beach Migrant
Health Project.
This is an existing project to deliver ambulatory care to
migrant and seasonal agricultural workers in Palm Beach County
which will have no adverse effects on the local natural, social
or economic environment and tkere is no duplication between efforts
of the proposed project and those of any related local projects or
programs.
Mr. Sanson moved that the City administration be instructed
to recommend approval, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mrs.
Durante stated that at the Workshop Meeting Mr. Sanson brought to
their attention the A-95 reviews, and there have been some that the
Council has not seen,~ and she wondered if there were some way the
back-up information could be obtained, so that they can read and
get more information on what they are approving. The City Manager
stated that apparently the Council had not received the information
on 7.a. and 7.b. He asked if any other information would be required,
other than the normal communication. Mrs. Durante stated that she
has seen the letter, but had not seen an application in tke past.
The City Manager said that he will see that they receive the papers.
Mr. Chapin stated that he has a difficult philosophical
problem with this. Based on his experience in the past, he considers
it a rip-off, and will vote No.
Mayor Weekes stated that he does not have enough information
to state whether or not it does what it is purported to do,and
questioned the City Manager if there would be any disservice if the
matter were tabled until the next Council meeting. The City Manager
sta~ed that the deadline is November 6th, and since it is known the
purpose for which the A-95 approval is sought, merely to provide
ambulance care for the groups named, that would be what it is for.
Mr. Scheifley questioned as to why this matter is sent to the Council,
as it is mainly concerned with the county. Mr. Sanson stated that
it is because local funds are being used, not city, but county,
matching funds.
Roll call on the motion was had at this time.
Mr. Sanson apologized and stated that he had meant to bring
this up under "Council items" but forgot. But as a related item, since
we do not have another meeting before the meeting of the Regional
Planning Council, at the last Council meeting he brought up an item
trying to get some information with regard to A-95'appl~cation that
has been submitted to form a regional screening committee to review
law enforcement applications. He would like to have this on the next
Council Workshop agenda, possibly that we could have a Special Council
Meeting before the Workshop and have a formal vote on it. Since that
meeting, the City of Boynton Beach has sent in response unanimously
opposed, and the City of Lake Worth has responded in favor. Half of
the cities in Palm Beach County are against this program, and half are
in favor of it. It is his understanding that the Chief of Police
answered on behalf of the city, yet, the letter from the Area Planning
Board specifically requested the response to come from the governing
body or the Chief Administrative Officer. Therefore, he is requesting
a response that he could convey to the Regional Planning Council on
November 9th.
City Manager Mariott stated that he has had some discussion
with the Police Chief and has been provided some data, and it appears
that a Committee of the Police Chiefs Organization of Palm Beach County
was formed to give study to the question of background investigation
and pre-screening of Police applicants to the Municipal Police Depart-
ments of Palm Beach County and that our Police Chief served on that
- 8 10/23/78
committee, and that the action that he took does not have to do with
the firing -- with the employment of the Police Officers in the various
Police Departments -- with some background checks that the Police
Departments may make use of as they see fit. It would be a supplement
to what is done locally, not a substitute, and that each city would
continue to fully screen and hire its own Police personnel. Mayor
Weekes requested that it be placed on the Agenda for the next Work-
shop which will be November 6.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Resolution ~o. 85-78 request-
ing the Palm Beach County School Board and the Palm Beach Sheriff's
Office to provide proper police protection at Atlantic High School
home football games is before Council for consideration.
Mr. Chapin stated that it was his suggestion in response
to a communication received from the Principal of the Atlantic High
SchooltEarl Hawk.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 85-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH REQUESTING THE PALM BEACH COUNTY
SCHOOL BOARD AND THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE TO PROVIDE PROPER POLICE PROTECTION AT
ATLANTIC HIGH SCHOOL HOME FOOTBALL GA~.~ES.
(Copy of Resolution No. 85-78 is on file in the official
Resolution Book).
Mr. Chapin moved for the passage of Resolution No. 85-78,
seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Scheifley -
Ye~; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
8.b. The City Manager reported'that Resolution No. 86-78 request-
ing the State Legislature to change the South Florida Water Management
District to an elective body is before Council for consideration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 86-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THE STATE
LEGISLATURE? TO CHANGE THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER
_NLANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO AN ELECTIVE BODY.
~Copy of Resolution No. 86-78 is on file in the official
Resolution Book).
Mr. Sanson moved for the passage of Resolution No. 86-78,
seconded by Mr. Chap±n. 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.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes stated that for those in
the audience who did not know him, Mr. Jim Watt had just walked in.
Mr. Watt is a candidate for the State Legislature, and didn't know
whether it was an accident or on purpose that he walked in'at this
particular moment.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
8.c. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 87-78
requiring plans, specifications and estimated cost to construct a
sidewalk and curb on the east side of State Road A1A at Casuarina
Road was written up in his absence, assuming that the project would
be done by Special Assessment. It will not be necessary to do it
by special assessment apparently, as he was told that the owners
are perfectly willing to advance to the City 80% of the cost of
the project. Council at its August 28th meeting approved the
project in concept, and this has to do with the construction of
sidewalk and curb for about a 200 ft. distance, south of Casuarina --
beginning at Casuarina and extending about 200 ft. south on the
east side of the street. This has been discussed on two prior
occasions. Bids have been taken, and the low bid in the amount of
$2,960 was submitted by the Campbell Construction Co. The second
bid in the amount of $4,500 was submitted by Hardrives of Delray.
The City Manager recommended that Council authorize the
award to the low bidder, Campbell Constructrion Co. in the amount
of $2,960 , with 80% of the construction cost to be advanced to
the City by the abutting property owners, and the City to pay the
remaining 20% from the City Special Assessment Construction Fund,
it being understood Ghat the construction contract with the Campbell
Construction Co. will not be signed until the City has received the
advancement of the 80%, as verbally agreed to by the abutting property
owners.
Mr. Scheifley questioned as to how this will affect the
present resolution. The City Manager stated that the present
resolution No. 87-78 will be disregarded.
City Attorney Saberson stated that the substance of the
motion is as the City Manager has stated, with the exception of
whether or not Council wishes to waive the performance and payment
bond, which for a $3,000 job does not seem advisable to require.
This is permitted if the project is under $25,000.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the contract for the paving of
th~ area in question of the sidewalk and curb at Casuarina be
awarded to Campbell Construction Co. in the amount of $2,960 ,
with 80% to be advanced by the abutting property owners, and the
City to pay the remaining 20% from the Special Assessment Fund.
Also, that we waive the requirement for performance bond because
of the small amount of the contract, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin (with a dis-
closure that a client of his law firm is paying 80% of the funds) -
Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes;
Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
8.d. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 88-78,
amending Resolution No. 71-78, which requested Palm Beach County
to amend its proposed Land Use Plan to reflect the City of Delray
Beach's Land Use Plan designation, is before Council for considera-
tion. The City Manager stated that there was just one thing that
he wished to point out in regard to Parcel No. 63-B, which is located
at the Northwest corner of Military Trail and the L-33 Canal. That
parcel of land was left out in the initial approval made by Council
some time ago, and it now has been added to the descriptions to be
sent to the County, should Council adopt this resolution.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 88-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.
71-78, BY ADDING ONE ADDITIONAL PARCEL TO THOSE
WHICH THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH IS REQUESTING
PALM BEACH COUNTY TO AMEND ITS LAND USE PLAN TO
REFLECT THE DESIGNATION ON THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH'S PLAN.
Mayor Weekes questioned how they should respond, since it
is no longer their intention to exercise planning control of the area
0/23/78
- 10 -
west of the Military Trail. He stated he is prepared to relinquish
any attempt to exercise control of property lying west of Military
Trail. If Council is going to move on the reserve area and proposed
area of annexation from the corporate limits of this City to the
Military Trail, then it is not necessary to argue with the County
Commission as to what is done with the Land Use Plan there.
Mrs. Durante stated that an amendment to the Resolution
will be needed so that all west of the Military can be dropped. Mayor
Weekes concurred.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Resolution 88-78 be tabled until
the next meeting so that it can be revised to reflect the policy
decision made at the last Council meeting in respect to our Reserve
Area.
Before roll call City Attorney Saberson stated that when
the Council discussed the idea of limiting the Reserve Area to Military
Trail, there was no discussion of the case that Boca Raton currently
has pending before the Fourth District Court. It was his thought that
this matter could be discussed at Workshop, and whether Council still
wants to proceed with the policy to limit the Reserve Area or perhaps
whether they would wait until a decision came down. If the decision
is favorable, it will mean that control is not only exercised over
unincorporated pockets, but also land use, zoning, building regulatory
control, and building permit control. The Council would have not only
the authority to adopt the plan, but to implement it. If the limitation
of the annexation to Military Trail is based on the idea of not having
half a development , you don't care whether Council has regulatory
control or not. If such is the case, then the Resolution can be
amended to cut out every parcel west of Military Trail.
Mayor Weekes stated that the last part of the City Attorney's
presentation was exactly the intent that he had in mind. The Council's
thought is that it does not want control of the area west of Military
Trail. Mr. Sanson stated that the Council is still concerned. Mayor
Weekes stated he is referring to a policy matter of this Council. Mr.
Sanson stated it should be stressed that Council feels there is enough
multiple family in that area.
Mr. Scheifley repeated his motion. Mr. Scheifley moved
that Resolution No. 88-78 be tabled until the next meeting until it
is revised to incorporate the policy adopted at the last Council
meeting with respect to the reserve area, seconded by Mr. Sanson.
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.
Mr. Chapin stated that before we leave this subject, that
in August the Resolution was passed seeking cooperation with the
County to resolve the differences of the 16 or 17 parcels east of
Military Trail and we should seek to have this matter resolved. Mr.
Chapin stated that once the parcels west of Military Trail are deleted,
the Mayor should be authorized to make a presentation to the Palm
Beach County Commission requesting that this matter be resolved with
all due and deliberate speed. City Attorney Saberson advised that
Dan Kotulla and the Planning Department are checking the current
status of the matter, and will advise. Mayor Weekes advised that
he will appear before the County Commission and make said presenta-
tion at the proper time, and requested City Manager ~ariott to
advise him of Mr. Kotulla's actions.
Mr. Frank Carey, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board
advised there are a number of discrepancies in the zoning in the
pockets. Mr. Sanson stated that a better way to refer to this is
a percentage of land area within the city that is in county pockets.
Mr. Sanson left the Council Chambers at 8:38 P.M.
8.e. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 89-78

SECTION WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE FRONTAGES FOR
LOTS LOCATED ON CURVING STREETS AND CUL-DE-SACS
TO BE REDUCED BY 40% WHEN THE CENTER LINE RADIUS
OF THE ADJACENT STREET IS 100 FEET OR LESS;
PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.

The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance

8.i. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 75-78
amending Chapter 29 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances requiring
a unity of title with s~te and development plan applications is
before Council for consideration on First Reading.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 75-78:
AN ORDIN~qCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 29 "ZONING"
OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY REPEALING SECTION
29-22~G) (15) PERTAINING TO REQUIRING A UNITY OF
TITLE WITH SITE~AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATIONS;
RENUMBERING PRESENT SECTION 29-22(G) (.16); PROVIDING
A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Manager read the caption of the Ordinance.
Mayor Weekes questioned what this ordinance would accomplish.
The City Attorney explained that it deletes the unity of title require-
ment for site and development plan approvals.
Mrs. Durante moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 75-78
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Sanson. 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.
Mr. Chapin questioned why'this requirement was being
deleted. City Attorney Saberson explained that unity of title
cannot be uniformly required on all projects. Many projects have
conveyances of individual units. Even on a condominium project,
if a unity of title is recorded and say that the entire parcel
described shall be considered one parcel, it raises a question
whether or not a condominium could be transferred. The only time
that you need a unity of title to get a building permit is if
the piece of property being built on does not meet the applicable
zoning code requirements for setbacks, etc. In which case, you
must tie the piece of property together of sufficient size to meet
the setback requirement.
8.j. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 76-78

L~$ ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION; ENACTING A NEW SECTION

Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 76-78
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Sanson. Upon roll call Council
- 14 - ~0/23/78
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.
Before roll call, in answer to a question by Mr. Scheifley,
the City Attorney explained that the previous ordinance required the
city to set up a special fund, and each dollar collected would have
to go into that specific fund, and used only for that purpose. The
Finance DePartment felt that in view of the fact that the City spent
a great deal more on Police education than is collected from the
dollar assessment, that if legally permitted, put the money in the
General Fund. The State Statute permits that to be done. City
Manager Mariott stated that it is still necessary, as mandated by
the State, that disbursements be made from whatever fund it is put
into to our Police Officers, in accordance with State Law. So, the
same payments are being made, but are being put into a different
fund from which it is drawn.
Mr. Scheifley left the Council Chambers, the time being
8:50 P.M.
8.k. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 77-78 repeal-

The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 77-78
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Chapin.~
Upon roil call Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes;
Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Sanson - No; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Mr. Scheifley returned to the Council Chambers prior to
roll call, the time being 8:55 P.M.
Before roll call Mr. Sanson stated'that he objected to
commercial establishments not being defined and referred to his
comments of the last Council meeting. He questioned whether the
Council is doing what it really intends to do. He referred to the.
Zoning Code, page 8, and read the definition of "Shopping Center"
as a group of commercial establishments planned, developed, managed,
and operated as a unit. There is no definition for "Commercial
Establishment". There is a definition for "Professional Offices"
which could mean that there is a difference between the commercial
establishment and a professional office. Mr. Sanson referred to the
last Council meeting, where he was led to believe Dy the City Attorney
and some Council members that an office complex containing nothing but
professional offices, or in great majority, such as the Executive Mall,
Epic Building, etc., are called shopping centers, and, therefore,.they
are entitled to erect the same kind of sign as is now permitted at
other types of places such as Gateway Shopping Center, Delray Mall,
or the place in question, 640 Building. It was his thought that
there was a great difference between the Executive Mall and the
640 Building, mainly because the one contains a retail establishment,
and the other contains professional offices. Therefore, it was
Mr. Sanson's thought that he could not support this amendment, if
it is saying that office buildings are permitted to erect signs of
this nature.
City Attorney Saberson explained that the wording is taken
verbatim from the existing Sign Code. It is the second sentence of
what is now included in the first paragraph, that was separated out
simply for the purposes of separating the main use sign from the
sign that is allowed for each unit of the shopping center. The
applicable definitio~ of the shopping center is the one that is
contained in the Sign Code, not the one contained in the Zoning
Code. The limitation or control is two-fold:
1. The size limitation on the sign.
2. The fact that a permit for a sign must go through the Community Appearance Board.
Mr. Sanson stated that he thought that if the Council is
going to allow this Ordinance, the Council should amend it to say
that there has to be a continuity to the sign, and not allow it to
individual Community Appearance Board judgment, i.e., the same size
lettering, same colors, etc.
Mr. Chapin questioned Mr. Ellingsworth, a member of the
Sign Committee, and Mr. Tore Wallin, as to why they reco~end this
Ord~inance, and whether or not it would cause some of the problems
that Mr. Sanson has suggested might happen.
Mr. Ellingsworth stated that it is felt that this is an
answer to a question that did not exist when the Sign Ordinance was
written. In addition to a sign, each place of business has a directory.
This wording is a means of answering a problem that exists in which
the retailer is located in the back of an unseeable area in a build-
ing that may face on a main thoroughfare, and he stated that this
could be the manner in which these buildings would be recognized.
Mrs. Durante stated that the Ordinance proposes that the
sign can be placed right on the business. Off-premise signs are
prohibited.~ The amendment proposes that on the one main use sign
the owner is allowed, he can list the name of the tenants in the
space. Right now, he would not be allowed to do that because it is
an off-premise sign.
Mr. Lou Bowring, 951 Tropic'Boulevard, stated that the
4 businesses will have one sign measuring 36 sq. ft.
Mr. Chapin stated that he intends to vote for this amendment
on first reading, but will reserve the right to more fully understand
the nature of the problem, as he wishes to maintain the philosophy of
a small town image in Delray.
In reply to Mr. Sanson's question as to how the City
Attorney's Office intends to rule, the City Attorney stated on the
basis of the definition of a shopping center contained in the Sign
Code.
Mayor Weekes stated he is prepared to vote for the Ordinance
on First Reading at this time, and if, between this time and Second
Reading some amendment can be made that will serve the purpose, he is
willing to listen to it. Mr. Scheifley stated that the Community
Appearance Board will have to approve the sign.
Roll Call on the motion was had at this time.
- 16 - 10/23/78
Mr. Chapin left the Council Chambers, the time being
9:08 P.M.

before the Council, and stated that certain conditions must be met,
and it puts the Developer on guard that he has problems that he has
to resolve. The site plans will not be approved until each question
is resolved.
Mr. Chapin returned to the Council Chambers at 9:13 P.M.
Mrs. Durante left the Council Chambers at 9:17 P.M. and
returned at 9:20 P.M.
Mayor Weekes absented himself for the discussion of this
item, the time being 9:21 P.M., and Vice Mayor Chapin took the chair.
City Manager Mariott stated that Mr. Scheifley has raised
a valid point, that when the different departments inter-lace, their
statement of conditions, which are valid, along with questions, it is
his thought that two things should be done:
el) That he should issue instructions to the Departments:
La} Refrain from raising questions in their
statement of conditions.
Attempt to not speak to irrelevant things
to the question at hand.
(2) Instruct the City Planning Department in the screening
of the comments from the various departments to check
each item for its relevance, to the particular question
at hand. The Planning Department should cross out
the irrelevant lines, and then it should go to the
Planning & Zoning Board.
Then, when the matter comes to the City Council, you would have a
true statement of condition.
Vice Mayor Chapin suggested that City Manager Mariott
communicate to the Chairman of the Community Appearance Board that
definitive statements be made regarding approvals, subject to conditions,
as opposed to suggestions and recommendations that cannot be enforced
and adhered to.
Mr. Scheifley moved to accept the recommendation of
the Planning & Zoning Board to approve final plat for Rainberry
Lakes, Phase II, subject to the conditions outlined in the Agenda
under 9.a., seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted
