SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM ~ V, ['".- MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 1991
RESOLUTION NO. 79-91
DATE: October 4, 1991
This is a resolution requesting the transfer of the jurisdictional
powers from Palm Beach County to the City of Delray Beach, for that
right-of-way of Dixie Highway which extends from N.E. 8th Street
(AKA George Bush Boulevard) to Gulfstream Boulevard (the
northern-most City limits).
During review of various projects (the proposed Oak Square Treatment
Center, the old Miller Dodge site, etc.), we have encountered problems
with specific agencies in the County regarding improvement requirements
and right-of-way demands. Because of these problems, and as Dixie
Highway no longer serves as the exclusive access to the adjacent
properties it is appropriate to seek jurisdiction. Boynton Beach has
initiated a similar request for that portion of Dixie Highway within
their boundaries.
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 79-91.

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING
SUBJECT: MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 1991
RESOLUTION RE TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION RE DIXIE HIGHWAY
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the City Commission is that of
apDroval of a Resolution through which the City is seeking
transfer of jurisdiction for a portion of Dixie Highway.
The affected portion of Dixie Highway is that portion
located between N.E. 8th Street and the northerly City
limits.
BACKGROUND:
This roadway was, at one time, a part of the County thoroughfare
system. Over time, the roadway has become a minor street as
Federal Highway has expanded. In this location, Dixie Highway
parallels the FEC Railway and does not serve as the exclusive
access to properties (adjacent properties have access to Federal
Highway also).
During review of various projects (specifically, the proposed Oak
Square Treatment Center, the old Miller Dodge site, and others),
we have encountered problems with specific agencies in the County
regarding improvement requirements and right-of-way demands.
Another influencing factor is that the FEC's right-of-way is
directly adjacent to Dixie Highway's west boundary and the
realization that, in places, the pavement extends onto that
right-of-way.
Dealing with the above has proven quite cumbersome and
frustrating (see letter of March 4, 1991, from County
Engineering). Boynton Beach was in a similar position.
Discussion ensued between the two City Administrations. Boynton
Beach has proceeded with obtaining a change in jurisdiction for
that portion within their'boundaries (BOCC action on September
24, 1991). We are now following through on the matter.

SUBJECT: DIXIE HIGHWAY NORTH OF N.E. 8TH STREET TO
NORTH CITY LIMITS OF DEL~Y BEACH
Dear Ms. Dearden:
I am writing in reply to your letter of February 26, concerning the ultimate
right-of-way for the subject roadway.
While this section of Dixie Highway does not appear.on the Thoroughfare Plan,
it does serve the function of a collector road, has considerable continuity and
provides access to commercial, as well as residential properties.
Given these considerations, the County's position is that an 80' wide right-
of-way is appropriate for this facility. Such a right-of-way provides the
opportunity for the construction of appropriate turn lanes, utilities, drainage
and future road widening.
I hope this is sufficient to fill your needs. Please feel free to contact me
if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER
