Subsequently, the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board expressed concern about the addition of another professional to the Board. At the June 16th regular meeting the Commission deferred action on this item so that the Task Force and SPRAB members could meet and work out a compromise position. On June 24th the Blue Ribbon Task Force and SPRAB met.

CITY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION TO: DAVID T. HARDEN, CITY MANAGER VIA: DAVID J. KOVACS, PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR FROM: DIANE DOMINGUEZ, PLANNER III SUBJECT: MEETING OF JULY 21, 1992 APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER TO SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPEARANCE BOARD At its meeting of June 16, 1992, the City Commission considered an ordinance which would require that one member of the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) be a registered professional engineer. The position would replace one that is currently filled by a "citizen at large." The suggestion for the ordinance was made by the Chamber of Commerce's Blue Ribbon Task Force. Upon reviewing the draft ordinance, members of SPRAB expressed concerns about the addition of another professional to the Board, stating that the review process would become too technical. At its June 16th meeting, the City Commission deferred action on the ordinance in order to allow Task Force and SPRAB members time to meet and discuss possible alternatives. Blue Ribbon Task Force members Bill Wood and David Henninger attended the SPRAB meeting of June 24, 1992. After some discussion, a compromise was suggested which would allow one of the current architect positions on the Board to be filled by either a registered architect or a registered professional civil engineer. This compromise leaves the number of professional members at the current level (three), but provides an opportunity for an engineer to fill one of those positions. The suggested language has been incorporated into the revised ordinance, which is attached.

HARDEN, CITY MANAGER VIA: DIANE DOMINGUEZ, PLANNER III '~ FROM: JANET MEEKS, PLANNER I~~~ RE: PROPOSAL TO APPOINT ENGINEER TO THE SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPEARANCE BOARD DATE: JUNE 11, 1992 At its meeting of June 10, the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board discussed the proposal to add an Engineer to the Board. The consensus was that there were already too many professionals on the Board and that engineers were not "sensitive planners". The Board was concerned that its membership would become "too technical". They stated, however that if the City decides to approve the proposal, the appointment should go to a Civil Engineer, who would presumably be more familiar with paving and drainage plans than any other type of engineer.

MAYOR ATTEST: City Clerk First Reading Second Reading PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT TO: PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CITY OF DELRAY BEACH SUBJECT: REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 21~ 1992 CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 23-92, SPRAB MEMBERSHIP ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD: The action requested of the Board is that of review and comment upon a proposed modification to Section 2.2.3(B)(2) of the LDRs which deals with the composition of the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board. Section 1.1.6(A) provides that prior to action on a proposed amendment to the LDRs a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board. BACKGROUND: This subject was before the Board once before when the consideration was changing membership of one lay member to an engineer. The request was initiated by the Blue Ribbon Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and requested by the Chamber's Board. SPRAB had concerns with the proposal and they met with representatives of the Blue Ribbon Committee. An alternative consideration was set forth, it being that of the two positions set aside for architect, one of them could be an engineer. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and comment, as deemed appropriate, and then provide a recommendation to the City Commission.
