The height of the wall will be approximately 4 feet and will be located approximately 10 feet from the sidewalk. Mr. Weekes questioned the difference between this wall and the wall for which the City previously had bids. The City. Manager replied two main fea- tures were involved; 1- the height of the wall which accounted sub- stantially for the increase in price, and 2- the location of the wall itself in relation to the vertical placement. The wall will be con- structed of concrete block with steel reinforcement placed within the footer. Steps and entrance ways would be at intervals of approximately 100 to 150 feet including an entryway for wheelchairs. A copy of'the plans of the wall was shown to Council.

It concerns the vacating and abandoning of N.E. 7th Court lying between N.E. 6th and N.E. 7th Avenues and the administration reconunends that the City retain the southern 40' of N.E. 7th Court beginning at the westerly right-of-way line at N.E. 7th Avenue and extending westerly for three lots, said property being needed for public purposes. The City Attorney expressed the opinion that the legal ownership of the abandoned land would not af- fect the City. He stated several questions have been raised regarding paving the street, retaining it as a public right-of-way and opening it for traffic to Federal Highway. The City's Traffic Engineering section of the Police Department has stated it would not create a traffic hazard to open the street, but the City would not particularly benefit frora so doing. There would be no effect on trash pick-up or waterlines. Discussion resulted concerning reversionary rights, and it was brought out that the attorneys representing abutting owners had not been notified of the consideration of the petition at this meeting.

It was decided to substitute the phrase "and now consents to implementation of the plan" for the phrase" no objections " Mayor Scheiftey explained to the audience that if Council does not agree to this plan, the State will place Delray Beach on the same radio frequency as the Broward County Sheriff which would result in an impossible situation for the Bolice Department.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PURCHASE LAND ON THE BEACH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERP~S OF THIS RESOLUTION. (Copy of Resolution No. 6-74 is attached to the official copy of these minutes.) City Manager Mariott stated this subject was discussed at length at the last workshop meeting held by Council on January 21st. A list of properties people have offered to sell the City was re- ported to Council and Council discussed a suggestion by County Com- missioner George Warren that this Council pass a Resolution commit- ting the City to buy land on the beach costing approximately $450,000 within 90 days after the County's purchas'e of a tract of land on the west side of ALA near Casuarina Road at a cost of $546,000. The City Manager stated when he contacted the County Attorney and Commissioner George Warren, both gentlemen indicated action on this Resolution should be deferred until such time as further consultation can be had by the County Attorney and the City Manager. Therefore, the City Manager recommended the Resolution not be passed at this meeting and no action be taken with r ~ _especu to purchase of land on the beach at .present. The County Attorney specified two items to be added to the 'Resolution as it presently exists. The first is that the location of !and on the beach be subjec~ to approval by the County Commission prior to its. purchase by the City of Delray Beach. The second is the City commit itself to reimburse the County its purchase price in the amount of $546,000 for the purchase of land on the beach in the vi' cinity of Casuarina Road plus any additional costs the County might incur in connection with that purchase if the City of Delray Beach does not buy $450,000 worth of land .on the beach within 90 days after the County purchases ].and. The City Attorney stated the Resolution did not require, tabling. Council did not act upon the Resolution. -6- l - 2, F~- 7't Mr. David Ekvall, 1004. Island Drive, Delray Beach, spoke from the floor representing the Beach Property Owners' Association. stated many persons were concerned wiih the problem of the purchase of land on the beach other than the Beach Property Owners' Association. Mr. Ekvall asked why it was necessary to involve the County in the purchase of lands in Delray Beach when it seems there-are adequate funds in the City to purchase the property. Mayor Scheifley answered by stating that all of the land obtained by the City will cost the City 40 cents on the dollar if the County participates in the purchases. If the City purchases the property alone, it will cost the City 100% of the purchase price. Mayor Scheifley also explained that when the beach restoration was first considered, the City asked the County, State and Federal Governments to participate. Ail agencies agreed to help in the project with the exception of the County which stipu- lated they would participate in the maintenance of the beach on a ten year period srrangement. He emphasized that with the participa- tion of these agencies, the beaches would definitely be public with no restrictions. Mr. Ekval! stated the Beach Property Owners' Asso- ciation members were much more concerned with the incursion of the parking areas into their residential areas than they were with the fact that the beach would be public. Mr. Ekvall discussed several aspects of the problem, emphasizing that Council should consider the citizens of Detray Beach first, and stated this could be done by placing the parking lots in conm~ercially zoned areas, preferably at the corner of ALA and Atlantic Avenue. Mayor Scheifley replied that Mr. Ekvall's views coincided with the Council's ideas and if it were possible to concentrate the parking areas near A1A and Atlantic Ave- nue, Council would favor the idea. Mayor Scheif!ey further stated it w~uld be detrimental to the taxpayers to delay the project pending advisement from the State as to how many parking places are needed. Mayor Scheifley rebutted Mr. Ekva!l's argument that enough parking places exist by stating the State may eliminate ~arking on A1A, forc- ing parking down the side streets in the area. He also informed audience that when the $6,000,000 bond issue was passed, it was passed with the stipulation that beach property only be purchased, not property one or two blocks from the beach. The consensus of the Council is that an attempt to do so would nullify County participation. Mr. Ekvall suggested the Fire St~ation property be utilized; however, Coun- cil does not have a date for the construction of a new fire station since financing at present is not available. Considerable discussio~ occurred among Council men~bers with Mr. Ekvall participating. Council. agreed that it would be preferable to cormmit the parking areas to com- mercially zoned areas, if at all possible, with Mr. Randolph suggest- ing the use of multi-level parking buildings. Council commended Mr. Ekvall for a very fine presentation. Mr. Canary of the Dorchester, Mr. George Keeping of 1137 Vista Rel Mar, ~tr. Don McSparin of 921 Spanish Circle, and Mr. William P. Smith of Vista Del Mar expressed their views from the floor with com- ments and information provided by Council concerning primarily control and restrictions of parking areas by the City, access to the beach, source of funds to finance parking areas, the possibility of the use of the present fire station location and ~he adjacent property to the north for a parking area, and the possible devaluation of land with the construction of parking lots in residential areas. Mayor Scheif].ey stated he believed both the Council and the residents on the beach had a better understanding of the subject under consideration. X. Councilman J. L. Saunders excused himself from the meeting at 10:00 P. M. 8.f. The City Manager presented R~solution No. 7-74. -7- 1-28-74 240 A RESO!,UTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TIIE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING TI~E STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARrlT~iENT OF CO~..1UNI'Iqf AFFAIRS TO INCLUDE TItE CITY OF DELP~iY B'ILr~Ci{ IN iTS APPLICATION TO TIlE DEPA_RTMENT 0~?
