MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~' - MEETING OF JULY 1, 1997
RESOLUTION NO. 50-97
DATE: JUNE 27, 1997
This is before the Commission to consider approval of a resolu-
tion to the Palm Beach County Commissioners requesting the
Florida Department of Natural Resources establish an "idle speed,
no wake" zone along the Intracoastal Waterway in the area north
and south of the Delray Harbour Club condominium.
The State of Florida Department of Natural Resources established
"slow speed" and 25 mph speed zones within the Intracoastal
Waterway throughout the City limits. The Delray Harbour Club
operates a marina and fueling facility 0.38 miles north of the
Linton Boulevard bridge. The wakes at-or-above the "slow speed",
create a hazardous situation at the marina due to fuel spills and
damage to boats fueling and moored at the facility.
The petitioner asks that the "idle speed-no wake" zone be put
into effect from the Linton Boulevard bridge to the Atlantic
Avenue bridge entirely. If the Commission wants to make a motion
to that effect, the wording of Section 1 of the Resolution could
be modified to reflect its intent.
