The minutes of the regular meeting of February 10, 1975 were unanimously approved on motion by Mrs. Krivos and seconded by Mr. Gent. 5.a. Mr. Dale Moore, 1020 Rhodes Villa Avenue, Delray Beach, spoke concerning the building of commercial areas on State Road No. A-l-A, and asked Council and the citizens of Delray Beach what could be done to prevent this from increasing in the future. He then asked why such a differential exists between the County taxes and the County and City taxes combined; he stated he felt County taxes should be reduced more than approximately 2 mills (the present difference) when property is annexed into the City. Mayor Scheifley explained the County is using some City taxes to pay for their services. If the rates were equitable, the County tax would be greater in the County and less in the City. Mr. Moore also stated the County has approved the installation of a septic tank. on the commercial properties in question on South A-1-A~ He requested .Council to investigate the matter. He also requested Council to investigate the traffic increase that would occur with the opening of the stores to be constructed, i~r. Moo~e then asked that some way be found to enjoin the developers from hooking up to the city water. The City Manager stated a permit had been issued for connection to City sewer on the basis of transfer of valid connections from another loca- tion to this location; the applicant then obtained a water permit based on the sewer permit in his possession. The City Manager, after consulting with the City Attorney, issued directives to take no further action with regard to providing utility services to this property, and that the deposit made for water by the applicant be returned immediately to him. The City Manager explained the background.of the process used by the City to grant water and sewer permits to property outside of . the City limits and stated the City Attorney will research the matter. Mayor Scheifley explained all 37 municipalities in Palm Beach County are attempting to create a different tax differential. The City Attorney was requested to check into Section 170C4.01 of the Health Code. The County has authorized the erection of a sign advertising the coming complex and has also issued a building permit. The City Attorney stated the property is not within the municipal limits of the City, the City does not have jurisdiction over the zoning, and the City cannot independently enforce the deed restrictions; therefore, the City has no basis to ask for an injunction. Mr. Gent stated the plan- ning and Zoning Board has never asked the County to rezone the land in question. The City Attorney was requested to check the legality of the sewage permit transfer from one property to another. Discussion developed concerning the developed and undeveloped lands in the County.

Our petition only requested that the Volleyball and Tennis courts' proposed location be moved to the south- west section of their property. A number of items developed from the discussion at the Council meeting, and we feel that more good than bad came of this. We have met with .~. Tim Riggs, Principal, and Mrs. Barbara Smith, PTL, and discussed the entire problem which is basically noise. It was their feeling that the neighbors should have been contacted first, and possibly we would never have had to give our petition and take up your valuable time. Those in authority at Trinity have agreed to: 1. Replace the Basketball hoops with the type that can be loosened at night so they would be'flat against the board, and - 2. To relocate the combination Volleyball and Tennis Court further east than originally proposed, and 3. To' keep their gates closed after hours, and 4. To, in a tactful way, ask the cooperation of those using these facilities after a reasonable hour (7:00) to leave as there is a problem of noise bothering the surroUnding area, and 5. To landscape with trees and hedges, creating a buffer zone. We are not, nor have we ever been against play fields for. children. However, the noise which has been created, plus the proposed addition was really the proverbial 'straw that broke the camel's back'. We would like to commend the Council for their action in this matter. I feel that the Members.possibly put themselves in our position-, and tried to see what their own reaction would have been. I also coz,L~end Mayor Scheifley for his suggestion to the Planning and zoning Board that no matter how minor a variation might be, if there is one residence that could possibly be affected, that neighbor should be contacted. -5- 2-24-75. We hereby ask that our petition be withdrawn. Thank you very much. Very truly yours, sd/ David L. Tyson" February 24, 1975.
