JULY 25, 1977
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:03 P. M.,
Monday, July 25, 1977 with Vice Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, and
Acting City Manager Elizabeth Arnau, Assistant City Attorney Clifford
Shandy, and Council members Robert D. Chapin, David E. Randolph and
Aaron I. Sanson, IV, present.
1. The Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America waS given.
Vice Mayor Weekes requested a change in the order of the agenda
by moving item 8.a. ahead of item 3. Mr. Sanson moved that item 8.a.
of tonight's agenda be moved ahead of item 3, seconded by Mr. Randolph.
Said motion passed unanimously.
8.a. Vice Mayor Weekes gave recognition to J. Arnold Carter, better
known as "Jim" Carter who passed away at approximately 12:55 A, M.
Sunday morning, July 24, 1977. It was determined last week that Council
would present to Mr. Carter Resolution No. 41-77, commending him for
his dedicated service to the City of Delray Beach as a member of the
Civil Service Board. It was also agreed by Council to present Mr. Carter
with a Certificate making him Honorary Mayor of the City of Delray
Beach and with a service award commemorating this distinction. The
City Manager spoke with Mr. Carter on last Wednesday or Thursday, prior
to his departure to Mayo Clinic, informing him of the presentations
that were to be made to him.
Vice Mayor Weekes presented Resolution No. 41-77:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, COMMENDING
J. ARNOLD CARTER FOR HIS DEDICATED SER-
VICE TO THE CITY OF DELRAY.BEACH, AS A
MEMBER OF THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.
(Copy of Resolution No. 41-77 is on file in the official
Resolution Book.)
Vice Mayor Weekes read the Resolution.
Mr. Sanson moved for the passage of Resolution No. 41-77,
seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Vice Mayor
Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
A moment of silent prayer was held in memory of Mr. Carter.
3. Mr. Randolph moved for the approval of the minutes of the
regular meeting of July 11, 1977, seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion
passed unanimously.
4.a. Mr. Chapin stated he would like for Council to have a copy of
the new model Municipal Ordinance called the Basic Energy Conservation
Code which is a new development in light of the nation's energy crisis.
This may have some applicability to Delray and he would like for Council
to look into it. \
4.a.1. Mr. Chapin stated in the "Florida Naturalist", which is a
publication of the Florida Audobon Society, there are two articles
on the care of beaches and dunes, their nature, importance and protec-
tion. He requested that the Acting City Manager give a copy of these
articles to Karen Sawchuk, the City Horticulturist, and other members
of Council and Mr. Strock because it relates to the plantings of the
dunes and plantings of sea oaks and other vegetations which is a great
assest in preserving the beach.
Mr. Sanson stated he and other City-related personnel took a
trip up the beach about 1% weeks ago for further investigation in
terms of the restoration project. It was pointed out to Mr. Strock
344
the questions as to wheter or not there would be a possibility that
the dunes, which are trying to be re-formed by nature, could be taken
into consideration in the restoration project and whether or not he
has given any consideration to revegetation of the beach area.
Mr. Strock, at that time, stated he was extremely interested in that
facet of the restoration project and is going to report back to
Mr. Sanson his feelings on it.
4.a.2. Mr. Chapin noted that this week members of Council and all
the members on the various boards and committes in Delray received a
Financial Disclosure Form and asked if all board members were asked
to comply; the Assistant City Attorney answered "yes".
4.b. Mr. Randolph asked the Assistant City Attorney the status of
the N. W. 1st Street surfacing project; the Assistant City Attorney
answered that to his knowledge there has been no word regarding this.
Mr. Randolph requested that this be looked into because it is'taking
a long time, well over 60'days since he saw the last correspondence.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated that the paving machine was damaged
and it held up a couple of the projects and he does not know if this
is one of them; if it was being done in-house, it could very well be
one of those projects.
4.c. Vice Mayor Weekes stated there is going to be a meeting of the
Area Planning Board on July 28, 1977 at 7:30 P. M., to discuss the
Comprehensive Development Plan for Palm Beach County. The meeting will
be held at the APB Office to solicit comments on the plan and it is
felt that this will be discussed extensively in the future and the
City should have input from the beginning. He requested that the Acting
City Manager check around to make sure someone attends the meeting,
such as Mr. Kotulla or Mr. Ermovick as well as any member of Council
that is able to attend, if for nothing more than to hear what's being
said.
Mr. Sanson stated that at the special meeting of the Palm
Beach Municipal League Executive Committee on Tuesday or Wednesday,
Mrs. Roberts of Highland Beach, expressed great concern with the plan
and urged that Council attend and have as many people as possible in
attendance because she seems to feel that there are some very powerful,
important recommendations being made that could have vast implications
for the future of Palm Beach County.
5.a. Tore Wallin, Vice President of the Tropic Bay Condominium
Association, requested more information regarding the proposed in-
crease in garbage collection of 50¢ per unit. At the present time
they believe they are being ripped off; the City is presently charging
roughly $88 an hour for a packer truck and, if.the City goes to the
new rate, it would be better than $100 per hour for a packer truck.
He stated that in the condominiums or larger apartment buildings, the
City does not collect grass cuttings or any other cuttings; the only
thing the City collects is trash. Mr. Wallin stated that at the
present time he believes they are subsidizing some others and feels'
they should have. a fair shake in this matter.
Vice Mayor Weekes asked the Acting City Manager to make a
note of this so that it could be brought up at the next budget work-
shop session for discussion.
5.b. Jack Pitts, 237 Seacrest Lane, Delray Beach, spoke relative
to Federal Revenue Sharing. It seems there is reluctance of Council
or some members of Council to use Federal Revenue Sharing Funds in
the budget. He stated he believes there should be no hesitancy on
the part of Council to use these funds because it is tax money that
came from the citizens and unless the City plans to use them regularly
in the City budget there will be the tendency of looking around for
something to spend them on.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated that the Federal Revenue Sharing
Funds are in the budget but for capital projects and it is his feeling
- 2 - 7/25/77
345
that the intent of the government was to have these funds used by
the local municipalities to make capital improvement that they might
not otherwise be able to make. He suggested that Mr. Pitts look at
a copy of the proposed budget and see if he agrees with the capital
projects proposed.
Mr. Pitts questioned if Council would have spent the City
budget money on those projects if they had not come from Federal
Revenue Sharing Funds or were they stuck in because it was Federal
Revenue Sharing.
The Vice Mayor stated the City would not have had the funds
to do those projects without the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. To
answer Mr. Pitts'question, he stated that Funds do not have to be
spent on just capital projects but can be used on any legi~'.mate,
municipal expense .including salaries. It is a matter of juggling
dollars and he does not think that it is proper that the City should
get into the posture of regularly using Federal Revenue Sharing Funds
for the purpose of balancing the operating budget.
5.c. Mr. Pitts stated that the Linton Avenue Bridge which has
· ~-n~lly become a realization, is being held up by a small group of
people to the detriment of a large number of people who know and
understand that the bridge will be built, has to be built, and is
necessary. He feels that there has not been any real push by the
City Council to see that this bridge goes on with the least delay;
every delay is costing the taxpayers money when they know it is going
to be built anyway. Mr. Pitts asked that Council take a stronger
stand on pushing the bridge through.
6.a. The Acting City Manager stated that it is recommended that
Council award a contract to Hydromar Corporation of Delaware and.
Eastern Seaboard Pile Driving, Inc. (a joint venture) for the City's
beach restoration project at a contract price of $1,316,700. The
City will be able to finance the project.
Mr. Strock, the City's Consulting Engineer, commented in
favor of awarding this contract. They have visited the contractor
who made the bid, visited the dredge equipment itself, reviewed it
and found it in satisfactory condition. They have contacted the
Corps of Engineers, the State of Florid~ and both concur in awarding
the bid should Council so elect. Mr. Strock stated he has checked
out the Hydromar Corporation of Delaware and Eastern Seaboard Pile
Driving, Inc. and find no reason why they couldn't perform satisfac-
torily. They have checked out the finances with regards to the
recoveries, the County, etc.,and find every reason to believe the
job should go as has been outlined to the Council.
Mr. Randolph asked if this was the only bid received.
Mr. Strock answered "yes" and stated they have checked out all the
major dredging companies that would have the capability of doing
this job and have specifically pinpointed all the types of equipment
that is capable of doing the job. However, there is a major job
being done in Dade County, one in Duvall County, and the remainder
of the equipment is located in Texas, the West Coast of Florida,
and in Africa; the equipment has been basically pinpointed to make
sure that there was not some reason why only one bid was obtained.
Upon question by Mr. Randolph, Mr. Strock stated that this
is not the same company that performed the beach restoration.
Mr. Chapin stated he assumes that the ~ity will be reimbursed
from the State, the Federal Government and the County and asked
Mr. Strock if this is what he means by saying the financing is in
order and that there is money to pay for it. Mr. Strock replied that
this is correct; they~have sent in the general design memorandum to
the Corps of Engineers, based upon the original project allocating
44.2 percent of Federal Funds for the project. Mr. Strock stated
they have received an approval from the Corps of Engineers of that
general design memorandum. There is an existing contract between
- 3 - 7/25/77
Delray and the State of Florida for 30.8 percent of the contract
and the remaining part, 25 percent of the project, would be local
funds in the magnitude of about $365,000.
Mr. Chapin noted that the County has provided $80,000 a
year and this was only in the 4th year and for fiscal purposes what
if the City is not considered for the 5th year. Mr. Strock stated
that $400,000 has actually been placed in the account; there was
some question in interpreting the contract between the City and
the County as to just how much could be allocated, as far as time
is concerned, and the way the plan is drawn up at the present time, in
essence, there is four years plus the requirement of the Corps to
place one year advanced nourishment.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Strock to explain why there was a delay
in the first round of bids. Mr. Strock stated that President Carter
has imposed a O-base budget on all projects and the project as ori-
ginally outlined was based upon the 1963 report prepared by the Corps
of Engineers. To implement it and have it funded, it was necessary
to go back and revise the programming and make sure that all the sup-
port data would support the project based upon today's criteria.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Strock if he had made any decisions on
the revegetation. Mr. Strock stated they have done some work and
have met with Karen Sawchuk and are now in the process of preparing
a plan for discussion. Fortunately, the elevations in most of the
areas are such that most of the vegetation that is there can be
maintained without being disturbed; the contract is written so that
none can be disturbed without the approval of the engineer. The
programming of the'replanting, etc., in the.areas tkat would require
it, is in process at this time.
Vice Mayor Weekes asked, if at the north end of the beach
where the natural sand has overlayed the pumped-in sand that was
used in the renourishment project originally, is that profile Suffi-
cient above the high water mark that it would not be disturbed or
will it again be pumped over with the gray material that has to be
used.
Mr. Strock stated that the very north end of the beach
would not be disturbed say, from the City line down.southerly to about
the north end of the public beach'in that area; commencing at or
about the north end of the public beach, the profile begins to diminish
in that area,but shortly south of the north end of the public beach,
for practical reasons, it would be necessary to revisit that area.
Mr. Weekes commented that because of the season and la~eness
of the year it's getting near the time when you could possibly expect
a hurricane, but on the other hand the City couldn't stand to go
through another northeaster season without renourishing the beach.
The City is engaged in a calculated risk having been thrown behind
due to circumstanceS over which Mr. Strock nor the City had any
control and in view of that, Mr. Weekes feels ithe City should proceed
with this as quickly as possible.
Mr. Chapin asked if this contract is awarded tonight when
Council could expect renourishment to commence. Mr. Strock stated
that the contractor has ten days to return a signed contract from
the time he is advised of the award of the bid. It is expected that
within about 30 days plus or minus from that time they would start
pumping sand. The actual construction would probably take five to
six weeks.
'Mr. Chapin moved that the City enter into the contract for
renourishment of the beach as outlined by the Acting City Manager,
seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b. The Acting City Manager reported that as was discussed at
the July 18th Council workshop meeting, it is recommended that Council
- 4 - 7/25/77
347
consider authorizing Russell & Axon, Consulting Engineers, to prepare
an application to the Department of Environmental Resources for ex-
panding the Water Treatment Plant from 12 MGD to 24 MGD, using the
existing iron removal treatment process. The estimated cost of
preparing that application and supporting documentation'is $3,000
with funding to come from the 1972 Water & Sewer Bond issue.
Mr. Randolph moved that Council authorize Russell & Axon
to prepare subject application for Water Treatment Expansion from
12 MGD to 24 MGD with the approximate cost of $3,000 with funding
to come from the 1972 Water & Sewer Bond Issue, seconded by Mr. Chapin.
Said motion passed unanimously.
:
Before roll call the following discussion was had. Mr. Sanson
moved for a substitute motion that before preparation of the applica-
tion that Russell & Axon be given partial termination and that the
City Attorney's office be instructed to implement the Competitive
Negotiation Act and the Council seek competitive bidding on furtherance
of this application. The motion died for a lack of second.
Mr. Sanson stated he would vote for the motion wishing that
Council had services of another firm; there is no purpose to be served
by retaining this firm to handle any facet of the expansion of this
plant and he strongly disagrees with the past practices and advice
that has been given to Council for the expansion.
Mr. Chapin stated that at the workshop meeting where Council
authorized this approach to expand the plant from 12 MGD to 24 MGD,
they also approved a second course of action; if secondary treatment
proves to be required, that Council comply with the Competitive
Negotiation Act. Therefore, he feels that Russell & Axon has five
years of good performance on this process and this plant and if the
City can enlarge it without having to go to costly, secondary treat-
ment, the City would be well served.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated he does not think that there, is any-
body in the engineering world that has a greater vested interest in
seeing that this expansion of the plant is approved by the Department
of Natural Resources than the engineers who design the plant and who
have monitored it for the past five years. He stated he understands
-Mr. Sanson's problems with some things that have happened and the way
they have treated the matter of direct filtration.
Mr. Lou Martin, Director of Public Utilities, stated he has
a memo dated July 22, 1977 from the City Manager directing him to
proceed under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act concurrently
with Russell & Axon's attempt to enlarge the plant. He asked that by
the action Council has taken is he to hold this action in abeyance.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated that that action was not a part of
the motion that was passed by Council nor was that particular item
on the agenda nor on the preface to the agenda.
Mr. Sanson stated he thinks Council should take one step at
a time; Council has made the decision to go ahead with the present
system of water treatment and should therefore go full speed with it.
Mr. Chapin and Vice Mayor Weekes concurred with Mr. Sanson.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Martin if the City of Delray is currently
supplying the City of Gulfstream water. .Mr. Martin replied that the
City is supplying water but not steadily and it is not 200,000 gallons
as the paper indicated. The formal hook-ups are in the process of
being installed and the water taps will be turned on in about 60 days.
Mr. Klinck stated that the feeder and the valve to Gulfstream
from Delray Beach was cut off Friday; their well is in proper operation
and they are using their own water.
6.c. The Acting City Manager reported that at the July 18th work-
'shop meeting, Council informally agreed to the appointment of Lonnie
- 5 - 7/25/77
34S
Cook and Lynn Taylor as members of the Downtown Development Authority
to three year terms ending July 1, 1980, and the appointment of
John Ross Adams to the unexpired term of James L. Love ending July 1,
1979.
Mr. Chapin moved for the appointment of Lonnie Cook and
Lynn Taylor as members-of the Downtown Development Authority for a
three year term ending July 1, 1980, and for the appointment of John
Ross Adams for the unexpired term of James Love ending July 1, 1979,
.seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.d. The Acting City Manager recommended that Council declare a
nuisance to exist on the following property and in compliance with
Chapter 15 of the City's Code of Ordinances, direct the City Clerk to
comply with the ordinance in abating this nuisance
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION CITY CODE
Lot 5, Block 8,
Dell Park 15-2 & 15-3
(258 N.E. llth St.)
Mr. Randolph moved that City Council declare a nuisance to
exist on the property outlined in 6.d. of tonight's agenda and further
direct the City Clerk to abate such nuisance, seconded by Mr. Chapin.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.e. The Acting City Manager reported it is recommended that
~ouncil authorize the execution of an agreement between the City and
Palm Beach County providing for the funding and administration of
the Pompey Park Community Development Grant. The City entered into
a similar agreement with the County last year, which agreement was
authorized by City Council on May 10, 1976.
The Vice Mayor asked the Assistant City Attorney to brief
Council on what the document is, what it says and whether or not it
is similar to the one executed last year.
The Assistant City Attorney.stated the main thing about the
contract is that it provides for the payment as the park progresses.
The County is desirous of dispersing the sum of $210,000 to the City
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement; it is more of
a dispersement type contract. It contains a clause where the City
agrees to let all contracts awarded pursuant to this agreement and
inCluding contracts for construction of improvements, repairs, replace-
ments and purchase of commodities, in accordance with all applicable
Federal, State and Local laws. If competitive bidding or competitive
negotiations are required under applicable law, the City shall provide
the County with a copy of its bid specifications and bid awards. If
the City wishes to be reimbursed for expenditures, it is provided,
herein it will submit proposed ~contracts for prior approval by the
Community Development Division. The County is the paymaster and the
City submits invoices either before paid or ask for reimbursements.
There is a procedure set out for invoicing and payment.
The Assistant City Attorney stated he has gone over the
contract and has also discussed it with the Assistant County Attorney,
Mrs. Catherine Washington, and finds nothing objectionable and sees
no serious problems about it.
Mr. Randolph stated that this contract is allegedly similar
to the document that was passed last year and fimilar to the contracts
passed by all the participants in the CD program and it somewhat
establishes guidelines as to how funding will be and to what extent
the City would be in a posture to receive funds from the County in
furtherance of its project. He stated he sees no particular problem
with it.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Randolph if'he knew when Council will
be able to see some progress on the actual construction of the park.
- 6 - 7/25/77
34§
Mr. Randolph stated it looks like it will be around the 30th of
September because bids are supposed to be let by that time and hope-
fully it will begin before the end of the year.
Mr. Sanson stated last week he attended a meeting of the
Environmental Committee on the National League of Cities and a side
light of the meeting was a detailed briefing given by the staff relative
to the Federal Funds available and programs available for projects
being sponsored by the Federal Government to install solar energy.
After the meeting, Mr. Sanson stated he explained to the staff member
about the City's Pompey P~ark Project and the idea of installing solar
energy and asked his thoughts on it. The staff member stated to
Mr. Sanson that he felt there are Federal funds available for this
if the City does not already have it arranged, and that he would
personally see the City's application through the Federal Agencies.
He relayed to Mr. Sanson that he felt that the project itself is one
of the better that he has ever heard and does not think there would
be any problem in getting funds for it. Mr. Sanson stated ~hat there
are also Federal Funds available for surveys and studies to be made
of existing public facilities as to what can be done to conserve
energy and then to give the .Federal Funds to make the necessary
alterations and repairs.
Mr. Randolph moved that the CitY of Delray Beach authorize
the execution of the agreement with Palm Beach County for the Communi-
ty Development Block Grant Program, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6,f. The Acting City Manager reported that at the July 18th
workshop meeting it was discussed that Council should consider
authorizing a Financial/Operational Study of ~he Delray Beach Country
Club, at a cost not to exceed $1,000 as recommended by the Finan6ial
Advisory Board. Funding will come from the Recreation Department
Administrative Budget.
Mr. Chapin moved for the approval of a Financial/Operational
Study of the Delray Beach Country Club, at a cost not to exceed $!,000
as recommended by the Financial Advisory Board, with funding to come
from the Recreational Department Administrative Budget, seconded by
Mr. Randolph. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The Acting City Manager reported that the City is in receipt
of an application from California Designs, Inc. for City water service
to serve Blocks 13, 15, 16, 18 and 19, Southridge Subdivision, located
outside the City. The applicants having executed the City's standard
.agreement for the providing of water service outside the City condi-
tioned 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 as set forth in this item and item 7.b. is to serve the area
in Southridge Subdivision as shown on the map presented to Council.
These two applications will cover 127 residential units. Water service
will be needed within six months and the total project will be com-
pleted within two years.
Richard Bird, an Attorney from Ft. Lauderdale representing
the petitioners, stated the property that is presently being requested
to be provided water service was owned by two different individuals,
the rest of the lots in that subdivision, which was platted in 1926,
are owned by many different individuals. He stated they would like to
obtain as many of the lots as they can because.it is a good area and
would like to develop it with good housing. They are in the process
of negotiating with several other lots (approximately 15) with two
other land owners. There are two blocks that are owned by other
people and those blocks are basically not buildable because the land
is a fill area filled with tree stumps, etc., and will not be build-
able for many years. Mr. Bird stated they have no objections about
coming into the City.
- 7 - 7/25/77
350
Mr. Bird stated the density will be one unit per lot with
zero lot line with a duplex type concept. Upon question about the
City's Land Use Plan, Mr. Bird stated he is not familiar with it.
Mr. Chapin stated that if Mr. Bird can be annexed in the near future
he would be subject to the City zoning and it would behoove him to
check the Land Use Plan adopted bY Council and work within the guide-
lines of that plan.
Mr. Sanson requested that the City Attorney's office report
to Council some kind of firm opinion as to where this property stands
in terms of annexation.
Mr. Sanson moved that Water Service be granted to the
California Designs, Inc. for Blocks 13, 15, 16, 18 and 19 Southridge
Subdivision subject to the standard agreement with the City regarding
annexation, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.b. The Acting City Manager reported that-the City is in receipt
of an application from Michael Jo Navilio for City water service to
serve Lots 1 thru 17, Block 6; Lots 1 thru 19, Block 8; Lots 1 thru
25, Block 9; and Lot 11, Block 14, Southridge Subdivision, located
outside the City. The applicant having executed the City's standard
agreement for the providing of water service outside the City condi-
tioned 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.
Mr. Sanson moved that the City execute the standard agreement
for water~ service being granted to Michael J. Navilio for service to
Lots 1 thru 17, Block 6; Lots 1 thru 19, Block 8; Lots 1 thru 25,
Block 9; and Lot 11, Block 14, Southridge Subdivision, seconded by
Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.c. The Acting City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council authorize placement of a City of Delray Beach advertisement
in the 51st Annual Conference Issue of the. Florida Municipal Record
as in prior years at a cost of $96.
Mr. Randolph moved that the 'City authorize a placement of
advertisement in the Florida Municipal Records at a cost of $96,
-seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unanimously.
The Vice Mayor asked the Assistant City Attorney if there is
any reason why this has to come before Council each year; the
Assistant City Attorney stated that it would have to come before
Council each year. Mr. Sanson suggested that maybe it could come as
part of the budget. The Vice Mayor instructed the Acting City
Manager to ask the City Manager to include this in the budget in
the future.
7.'d. The Acting City Manager reported that a communication has
e~ received from Mr. Robert Carnavil, Melrose DeVelopment Company,
relative to changing the name of Alamondin Terrace to Calamondin
Terrace. The street was inadvertantly named Alamondin Terrace in the
plat of the Pines of Delray. The City has a street named Allamanda
Drive, which might cause confusion. It is recommended that this
request be referred to the Planning & Zoning Board for study and
recommendation.
Mr. Chapin moved that the communication received to change
the name of Alamondin Terrace to Calamondin Terrace be referred to
the Planning & Zoning Board for study and recommendation, seconded
by Mr. Randolph. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.e. Vice Mayor Weekes acknowledged the minutes of the 3eautifi-
c-a-~on Committee for its July 6th meeting. In the minutes there were
three items which they requested Council action which are as follows:
1) A proposed bike path along Linton Boulevard to Miller Park (this is being checked out by the Administration).
- 8 - 7/25/77
351
2) There was some question as to whether the high windrow of
dirt along the path would be removed as part of the repair
operation (the high windrow along the path will not be
removed).
3) There remains a gap in the path extending from just east of
1-95 to Congress Avenue. The Committee recommends that this
portion be completed soon; this will complete the longest
bike path in the system - this portion of the bike path was .
not completed because of construction of 1-95 and is a County
responsibility. (Council will follow up on this.)
8.b. The Acting City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 34-77,
amending Chapter 29 "Zoning" of the Code o'f Ordinances relative to
removing certain uses from the "Conditional Use" category and adding
other uses under the "Permitted Use" category in the MI (Medium
Industrial) District has been prepared for Council consideration on
Second and FINAL Reading.· This ordinance was passed on First Reading
at the July llth meeting. Prior to consideration of passage of this
ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been
scheduled to be held at this time.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 34-77:

Mr. Chapin moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 35-77
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes;
Mr. Sanson - No; Vice Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a
3 to 1 vote.
Before roll call Mr. Sanson stated the he ~would like for
Council to consider retaining automobile paint, body and repair shops
under conditional use, mainly on two bases (1) the definition of
Light Industrial, particularly the sentence which reads "such uses
shall not employ materials, processes, or machinery which cause
objectionable odors, dust, noise, fumes, smoke, gases or vibrations
upon nearby or adjacent residential and qommercial property" - he
stated he would contend that paint, body and repair shops of automo-
biles do all of this; (2) there are areas in the City of Delray
that are zoned~Light Industrial that are directly adjacent to residen-
tial - he is not contending that the use should be deleted but thinks
that there are some homeowners who would sincerely object to a body
shop being across the street from their residential home.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated that automobile, body and repair
shops are presently permitted in SC zoning; there is one directly
across the street from his office and they have never had any complaint
about it and has never caused them any problems. In the LI zone
there is a much greater degree of bufferSng required, and a much
larger degree of setback required than there is in the SC zone.

8.j. The Acting City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 17-77,
amending Chapter 29 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to
district boundary lines is before Council for passage consideration
on First Reading. It is recommended that Council either pass the
ordinance on First Reading or refer same to workshop. It is thought
that the three-foot hedge height, to which ~he Planning & Zoning
Board objects was inserted in the ordinance by Council quite a while
ago during the discussion of the ordinance because of the difficulty
of getting and putting in a higher hedge at the time of planting.
The ordinance provides that the hedge shall attain a height of at
least six feet in 18 months.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Tore Wallin that when this discussion
was first held wasn't it agreed that there was also going to be a
study about coming back with specific zoning requirements for the
Federal Highway-Atlantic Avenue area; he answered "yes".
\
Mr. Frank Carey, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board,
stated they received a suggested ordinance from Dr. Bartley and the
Committee looked at it and recognized that there was no way it could
ever be enforced because it was an unworkable arrangement; the idea
was given up completely to have an overriding ordinance.
Mr. Sanson stated that when this ordinance was originally
proposed it had substantially, higher setback lines which he agreed
- 13 - 7/25/77
356
with and would like to see implemented recognizing the fact that
there has to be special consideration given to Atlantic Avenue and
Federal Highway.
Mr. Carey stated that if you stick to the Master Plan there
would be no problems because most of the strip zonings can be elimi-
nated and the large piece of land that is SC, the only piece affected
by the ordinance, is going to come before Council for rezoning to CC
which gives the Planning & Zoning Board absolute control over it and
much better setbacks.
Vice Mayor Weekes referred to page 4 of the ordinance under
(c), second paragraph and questioned the need for a row of trees
ten feet apart if the property is separated from the abutting resi-
dential property by a 300 foot right-of-way such as 1-95.
Mr. Carey stated the concern there is not the property owner
on the other side of the 1-95 right-of-way but a matter of beautifying
the City. In other words, how would you want the City to appear as
people travel up and down 1-95. Mr. Carey stated that this ordinance
will continue to be in limbo because ther. e are several deficiencies
in it which has been pointed out to him by the City Horticulturist.
Mr. Chapin moved that this proposed ordinance be referred to
workshop for further discussion and consideration, seconded by
Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin -
Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Vice Mayor Weekes - Yes.
Said motion passed, with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Chapin was excused from the meeting due to illness, the
time being 8:37 P. M.

Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
Vice Mayor Weekes requested that the Acting City Manager see
to it that prior to the next Council meeting, a copy of the newly
adopted Land Use Plan is set up in the Council Chambers.
9.a. This item was deleted from the agenda as requested by the
applicant.
9.b. The Acting City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning
Board, at a meeting held on July 19th, recommended by a vote of 5 to
1 (Pompey dissenting) that the Spinner rezoning request of a 3.8 acre
parcel of land from R-1AA (Single Family Dwelling) District to RM-10
(Multiple Family Dwelling) District located in Section 21-46-43 on
both sides of Del Haven Drive between the Intracoastal Waterway and
A1A be denied, based on the following reasons:
1) The change would be contrary to the recently adopted Land Use
Plan, and would have an adverse effect on that plan by allowing
multiple family to encroach into the single family area~
2) The change would be contrary to the existing single family land
use pattern;
3) The change would create an increase in traffic congestion and
effect public safety by increasing the traffic volume over what it
would be under the present zoning~
4) There are no substantial reasons why the property cannot be used
in accord with the existing zoning.
Council may sustain the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board
and deny the request, authorize the City Attorney to draft a rezoning
ordinance or refer the matter to workshop.
Mr. Randolph moved that item 9.b. be referred to workshop for
further discussion, seconded by Mr. Sanson. Said motion passed unani-
mously. \
It was agreed by Council to have this item on Monday night's
workshop agenda.
9.c. The Acting City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning
Board, at a meeting held on July 19th, recommended by unanimous vote
that the preliminary plat request of Homewood Lakes Subdivision,
located in Section 18-46-43, on the south side of Atlantic Avenue
between Dover Road and Homewood Boulevard be approved, subject to the
- 15 - 7/25/77
following:
1) Comments of the Lake Worth Drainage District as stated in
their June 27th letter,
2) Comments of the South Florida Water Management District as
stated in their July 6th letter,
3) Compliance with the Director of Public Utilities' comments
as stated in his July llth letter,
4) Compliance with the City Engineer's comments as stated in
his July 18th memorandum.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Carey who the developer of this land is
and how many units there are. Mr. Carey stated the developer is
Mr. Miller; there are about 60 acres of land (Lago Del-Ray); he did
not remember the number of lots there are but 23 of them are single
family lots. They are a mixture of Single Family and RM-10.
Mr. Sanson asked is he led to understand by Mr. Martin's
memorandum that even though 'these homes are built, no one will be able
to move into them because of the sewer moritorium.
Arthur Strock, representing Mr. 'Miller, stated in accordance
with Mr. Martin's memorandum concerning sewers, there were certain
limitations that he had placed upon the number of units that would be
useable. Mr. Martin indicated to Mr. Strock that by May, 1978
approximately 40 units could be connected within the present limitations,
beyond that time it would depend upon either providing on-sight treat-
ment or that the City's plant was sufficiently far along that relief
from the moritorium could be obtained.
Mr. Sanson asked Mr. Strock if his platting this now calls
for any kind of construction of the interim service fees; Mr. Strock
answered "no". Mr. Strock stated that even though the area is zoned
RM-10, the density is approximately 4.8.
Upon question by Mr. Sanson, Mr. Strock sta~ed that the term
"inlet" mentioned in point 2 of the South Florida Water Management
District refers to the openings for storm water to get into the under-
ground drain.
Vice Mayor Weekes stated that the City of Delray Beach is very
fortunate to have a project come in at 4.8 units per acre on RM-10
property and he is glad to see it.
Mr. Sanson moved that Council accept the preliminary plat of
Homewood Lakes Subdivision subject to the comments as outlined in
the agenda under item 9.c., seconded by Mr. Randolph. Said motion
passed unanimously.

of Florida Boulevard, between Avenue "E" and La Mat Avenue. The
Planning & Zoning Board, at a meeting held on July 19th, recommended
by unanimous vote that the property be annexed subject to RM-10
(Multiple Family Dwelling) District. Council may either authorize
the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance effecting the annexation or
