XI, OLD BUSINESS
A, Update on High School for the City of Boynton Beach
Carrie Parker, Assistant City Manager, referred to Agenda Memorandum No. 93-223
and advised that this issue is on the School Board's agenda for Wednesday,
July 21, 1993. The School Board is reviewing four sites, one in the County on
Jog Road north of Le Chalet Boulevard ($53,000 an acre), and three in the City
limits. The three in the City limits include the Tradewinds site at Woolbright
and 1-95 ($60,000 an acre), the Klattproperty on Congress Avenue and Old
Boynton Road ($62,000 an acre), and a parcel in the southwest corner of Quantum
Park ($85,000 an acre). The School Board has determined that all four sites
would be equal as far as the racial balance issue is concerned.
The Klatt property needs some additional road work. The owners of the Klatt
property have hired their own engineer and are discussing with the County the
amount of road work needed on that parcel. They have decreased it slightly from
the City's original estimate of approximately $1 million to $800,000 for the
road work needed on Old Boynton Road. The Tradewinds site does not need any
additional off site road improvements except for the extension of 8th Avenue,
which the owner of Tradewinds is willing to pay for. The Quantum site is fully
vested with concurrency and does not need any road improvements. The Jog Road
site also does not need any road improvements.
The County and the School Board have been trying to get a joint district park
and high school on the Jog Road site. The County does not have the funds to
purchase this property from the School Board. Therefore, it is being proposed
the School Board fund the purchase of 102 acres and use about 60 acres for
school site. The County would use about 50 acres for a district park. The
Board would swap property from the County surplus property list to equal
value of the 50 acres being turned over to the School Board. The School
rd is prepared to present this proposal to the County Commission after the
21, 1993 School Board meeting.
With regard to the Klatt or Quantum sites, Motorola has proposed a package for
c~rriculum enhancements at the proposed high school (labs on site for use by the
high school and use of the child care center at their facility for both the stu-
dents and teachers). Motorola would provide mentors, junior achievement, and
preferential treatment for high school students to major colleges, most specifi-
- ~ Cally M.I.T. They also discussed the possibility of ~ringing ~AU into th:~
program. Motorola is also anticipating using some of the facilities at .the high
school for their employees and programs.
-4
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ~IULY 6, 1993
Ms. Parker advised that the School Board would like to use Joe DeLong Boulevard
as an entrance for the Jog Road site. They are fully aware that this request is
in conflict with the City's position of supporting an eastern site and are pre-
pared not to use Joe DeLong Boulevard as an access if the City does not grant
them an easement.
Ms. Parker stated that Motorola has requested the construction of a foot bridge
to allow access to the Klatt or Quantum sites. The Lake Worth Drainage District
advised that a fioot bridge is permitable over either side of the canal. It
would cost approximately $20,000 to $25,000. If the City desires to build a
bridge heavy enough to hold maintenance trucks or lawn mowers, it would cost
approximately $200,000.
Ms. Parker inquired whether the Commission wishes to support a site in the City
limits or one of the three particular sites.
Commissioner Katz did not think the City should make it any easier for the
County to put a high school in the County by giving them access to any of the
City roads. Mayor Harmening added that moving the access gate next to the
parking lot would be almost uncontrollable. Mayor Pro Tem Matson pointed out
that the City has been struggling and has had to pay a lot of money for the van-
dalism that is occurring in that area now and she shuddered to think what would
happen if the City gave the County access to that road.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to inform the School Board that the City is not prepared
at this point to agree to access from Joe DeLong Boulevard. Mayor Pro Tem
Matson seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
It was Mayor Harmening's opinion that the City should not take any position with
regard to any of the sites in the City.
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to inform the School Board that the Commission pre-
fers a site within the City limits. Vice Mayor Aguila seconded the motion.
Commissioner Katz was totally against the site at Congress and Old Boynton Road.
Commissioner Walshak does not support this site either and prefers the Quantum
Park site.
The motion carried 5-0.
Ron Kolins of Moyle Flanigan, urged the Commission to support a particular site
because he felt the School Board would take the Commission's views into account.
In light of Motorola's technical and financial contributions, he suggested
either the Klatt or Quantum site.
Mayor Harmening felt the issue of the bridge should be discussed at a future
date, since it may be moot if the Klatt or Quantum site is not chosen.

Kent) for painting, well enclosure, disposal of debris, etc,

Mayor Harmening explained that the clearwell needs to be painted because the
water coming through the membrane filters is fairly acidic and aggressive and
the PH is low and in time it would degrade the walls of the clearwell. In addi-
tion, that was an old dump site before the City purchased it and each time it is
excavated, tires, automobile bodies, etc., are found. ~

America and a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

' #INUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COHI4I$$ION #EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 6, 1993
John Weber of Giovanni's Restaurant, Yachtsman's Plaza, was appalled that the
Commission cannot do anything to prevent HRS from renting at Yachtsman's Plaza.
He spoke of the parking and traffic problems that would occur.
Harry Romano, 417 Buttonwood Lane, suggested the City rent Freedom Hall out to
HRS.
Anthony Zerilli, Seaview Trailer Park, was opposed to HRS renting at this
location because of parking and crime.
Ken Blair, 825 Ocean Inlet Drive, felt a study of the traffic patterns in that
area needs to be done and that prior to issuing any building permits, a study
of how many cars will be parked there should be done.
Ms. Liriano advised that a staff of twenty-five is planned for this facility.
Fifteen of them are Public Assistance Specialists and normally see one appoint-
ment an hour for half the day. The second half of the day is spent on the
telephone and with walk-in clients. Therefore, there is not a constant flow of
clientele all day long. The prognams that will be offered at this facility
include Aid for Dependent Children, Medicaid and Food Stamps. The clients come
in to see one counselor for all three of these programs. Some clients will
visit HRS only once a year or not at all due to disability or employment.
In response to Mayor Harmening, Ms. Liriano estimated that this HRS office will
handle seventy-five households per day. In response to someone in the audience,
she stated that there is no way to control walk-in clients.
Mayor Harmening stated that the City's offer to build HRS a site as quickly as
possible still stands if they do not rent at Yachtsman's Plaza. He advised the
audience that the attorney in Tallahassee for HRS stated even though a lease has
not yet been signed, a bid cannot be turned down once it is accepted. Mayor
Harmening also stated that the Zoning Code requires one parking space for every
200 square feet and they actually have a little more than that.
Commissioner Walshak stated that operations of this nature in C-3 zoning
districts have to meet certain criteria. He felt there is no way HRS can meet
this criteria.
Chris Cutro, Planning and Zoning Director, advised that the parking lot ordi-
nance kicks in on the site plan review. The site plan for this site was already
done in 1985 and the City has no ability to go back into that ordinance without
having something happen to the building that would touch off a site plan review.
In response to Commissioner Katz, Mr. Cutro said changes to the building would
inClude expanding the use of the building over the minimums for a minor site
plan review; however, no changes of that nature are being proposed.
Vice Mayor Aguila felt there is a change in building occupancy that warrants a
review of the criteria originally reviewed and Section 16 allows the City the
latitude to request additional data to support whether the parking would be suf-
ficient or not.

#INUTE$ - REGULAR CITY C01~114I$$ION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ~ULY 6, 1993
Don Jaeger, Building Official, stated that the change of use is a valid
question; however, it is difficult to analyze until formal plans have been sub-
mitted. When the plans are submitted, he will consult with Mr. Cutro to deter-
mine if there is a change of use.
Attorney Doody advised that this matter is not brought before the City
Commission for any action and it would be premature to consider any action until
the City is in receipt of some documentation and a request for an occupational
license.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson felt there is a need for HRS services and she was in favor
of finding another place to build it. She felt it needs to be where the people
who will be utilizing it the most can get to easily.
Commissioner Katz stated that over two years ago Busch's Seafood Restaurant
wanted to relocate on Federal Highway because of a perceived parking problem;
however, the Commission went against them and they are now located in Delray
Beach. He perceived a parking problem at Yachtsman's Plaza and he did not
believe HRS could estimate the number of people that would be coming for ser-
vices. He also questioned their bid process, since there was only one bidder,
Vice Mayor Aguila found it unconscionable that HRS would make no effort what-
soever to work with the community to help locate themselves in the community.
Mayor Harmening advised that the City will continue to pursue this matter and
see if there is any possible way relief can be given to the people in that area.

VIII, DEVELOPMENT PLANS
A, Ocean Avenue (Intracoastal Water~ay to $eacrest Boulevard) public
improvements
Mr. Cutro referred to the report from Urban Design Studio, which summarizes the
results of the Ocean Avenue meeting held on June 17, 1993. There was support to
move forward with any streetscaping improvements the Con~nission would approve.
- 15
HINUTE$ -REGULAR CITY COI~IS$ION #EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ,1ULY 6, 1993
- In terms of staff time, participants supported simplifying regulations. A few
people wanted to do away with the Community Design Guidelines as well as the
parking guidelines. Mr. Cutro said he spoke to Henry Skokowski of Urban Design
Studio, who offered to prepare a new conceptual drawing based on the comments
made at the Ocean Avenue meeting. Mr. Skokowski displayed and reviewed his
Streetscape Concept for the 500 Block of East Ocean Avenue.
Vice Mayor Aguila questioned why the original plan is not being used.
Mr. Skokowski stated this is due to effectively using limited resources and
creating a more historic context for the design, which is what the community's
objectives seem to be. In addition, the original proposal is more of a beauti~
fication plan. Vice Mayor Aguila added that the design of the original plan had
a large amount of landscape material that is not drought tolerant and would
require a lot of maintenance and watering.
Mr. Cutro would like to obtain specifications from three different firms and
bring them back to the City Commission at the next meeting. If the estimates
for the specs are less than $10,000, the bid can be awarded without having to
take into consideration the State Competitive Negotiation Act, which involves a
sixty day cycle.
Commissioner Katz asked how long it would take to complete this project.
~-. Mr. Skokowski estimated two to three months.
Mr. Cutro stated that Mr. Skokowski's plan will be presented at the Community
Redevelopment Advisory Board meeting on Monday, July 12, 1993. He hopes to have
estimates of: the specs by July 20, 1993.
It was the consensus of the Commission for Mr. Cutro to proceed with this
matter.
B, Authorization to process text change for agriculture uses In C-3
zoning distrtct
Mr. Cutro stated that Samuel Blair, who owns the property just north of the
Boynton Canal and west of the FEC railroad, has asked for a determination if
agricultural uses are allowed in the C-3 zoning district.
Mr. Blair intends to rent out small parcels of land to individuals who desire to
do vegetable and flower gardening. He would have to go through site plan review
and provide enough parking spaces, and perhaps even a structure to allow people
to store things on site.
The Comprehensive Plan does not address this use; however, agricultural uses are
usually considered to be acceptable in most zoning districts.
If this use is acceptable to the City Commission, it will be brought before the
..... Planning and Development Board tomorrow. It will then be brought back to the
City Commission for a text change on July 20, 1993.
#INUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COM#ISSION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 6, 1993
Commissioner Katz suggested having them pay a fee in lieu of parking.
Bob Brown advised that about six weeks ago he inquired whether a driving range
would be allowed on this parcel of land and has not yet had a response from the
City. Mr. Cutro explained that Mr. Brown called him about two or three times at
7:30 P. M. and left messages that he would call again the next day. Mr. Cutro
stated that he and Mr. Brown have either missed each other or Mr. Brown had not
called back. Mr. Cutro said he was not trying to avoid Mr. Brown and thinks
Mr. Brown has a very viable use; however, some exploration has to be done. The
only thing he would have told Mr. Brown is to put together another letter to ask
for the same thing that Mr. Blair has already asked for. Mr. Cutro advised that
driving ranges are allowed only as accessory uses to golf courses in the C-3
zoning district and it is up to the City Commission if they want to allow
driving ranges in the C-3 zoning district. The Commission had no objections and
gave Mr. Cutro permission to present this and the text change for agriculture
uses in C-3 zoning districts to the Planning and Development Board tomorrow.
IX, NEW BUSINESS
A, Consider request for Certificate of Public Convenience - Coastal
Coach $ervlce
Mr. Jaeger stated that the City has received a request for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity. It is brought before the City Commission
pursuant to Chapter 24 (Taxicabs) of the Bosnton Beach Code of Ordinances.
Mr. Jaeger advised that at this time there is only one limosine service in the
City, namely, Mickey Pepper Enterprises, which has five vehicles. The present
request is for one vehicle as a home occupational license. According to the
Ordinance, the City Commission needs to determine that the individual is fit
to carry on this type of occupation and that there is a need for the taxicab
service.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, Mr. Jaeger advised that this individual would
not be able to run this business from his home if he uses more than one vehicle.
In addition, the residential character of the neighborhood cannot be changed by
parking multiple commercial vehicles there.
Notlon
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to approve this request for a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity for an additional limosine service as presented by the
Building Official. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
B. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Harmenln9
I, Request reconsideration on James Tttcamb right-of-way abandon-
ment - Otxle Highway
Mayor Harmening advised that Mr. Titcomb requested the abandonment of ten feet
of Old Dixie Highway immediately southwest of the shopping center outside the
- 17 -
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COt,~HI$$IOH HEETING
BOYHTON BEACH, FLORIDA ,]ULY 6, 1993
City limits for the purpose of complying with the County's Land Use Regulations
in regard to his studio.
In response to Commissioner Katz, Mr. Cutro stated that he cannot make
Mr. Titcomb annex into the City. He advised that Mr. Titcomb had expressed an
interest that if the right-of-way was abandoned and the City found the site plan
acceptable, that upon completion of the abandonment he would annex into the
City.
Commissioner Walshak pointed out that the Commission has not voted whether to
reconsider this action or not and discussion is already taking place.
Maurice Rosenstock called to the Commission's attention that a motion to recon-
sider must be done within twenty-four hours of the initial vote. Vice Mayor
Aguila stated that in the past City Attorney Cherof has advised that this body's
session is a year long.
Mayor Harmening did not believe this was a reconsideration since he was not at
the last Commission meeting and is now bringing up this matter.
The Commission voted 3-2 to place this item on the July 20, 1993 agenda.
Commissioners Katz and Walshak cast the dissenting votes.
Commissioner Walshak stated that according to Roberts Rules of Order only those
who voted can reconsider a motion that has already been made. Mayor Harmening
said he was bringing this forward as a new item.
The Commission would like Attorney Cherof to give his legal opinion regarding
the reconsideration of this matter and whether Mayor Harmening can bring this
matter up as a new item.
C, Items for discussion requested by l~yor Pro TemN~t$on
1, Downtown Oevelopmen~ Coordinator
Mayor Pro Tem Matson did not want this Downtown Development Coordinator to be
confused with a lobbyist. She suggested $30,000.00 be taken from TIF to fund
this position. She advised that Cal Cearley thinks he will be able to raise
what is needed above the $30,000.00 to make this a full-time position rather
than a part-time position. Mayor Pro Tem Matson feels this person should focus
in the downtown area and not travel back and forth to Tallahassee to lobby. She
said there are people in the City capable and experienced in securing grants.
She did not want this coordinator to be a City employee or even housed in City
Hall, or under the auspices of the City Manager. She suggested the Community
Redevelopment Advisory Board do the initial screening and then the City
Commission choose the person for this position.
Commissioner Katz pointed out that at the time he proposed hiring a lobbyist,
the City Manager stated there was not enough work for somebody to strictly coor-
dinate the downtown. Commissioner Katz stated~that if Mayor Pro Tem Matson has
- 18-
MINUTES - REGULAR C]'TY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLOR]'DA ,,1ULY 6, 1993
a problem with a lobbyist, we can get somebody who still has those contacts in
Tallahassee and continue most of the work from downtown. He did not think the
Coranission should preclude somebody from having contacts and the knowledge to
deal with Tallahassee and get those grants. He did not think staff members are
doing an adequate job in this area. He agreed that the person should not be a
City employee; however, he felt this person should be accountable to the City
Manager.
Vice Mayor Aguila felt that the Commission should not cut corners but should
seek the best possible person for the job, even if it cost more than $30,000.00.
He felt it should be a budgeted position and whether it is paid out of TIF funds
or not is totally irrelevant.
Commissioner Walshak pointed out that the session in Tallahassee is only there
for three months. This gives the individual eight months to work in the City.
The three months spent lobbying in Tallahassee should generate money to imple-
ment the development of downtown.
Mayor Harmening thinks this is a great waste of City money. He pointed out that
the City had someone in this position before and it was a total fiasco and a
total waste of money. He felt this was going to be the same thing and probably
worse because the City does not have the money at this time.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to direct 'the City Manager to present this position to
the City Commission at budget time with remuneration not to exceed $50,000.00.
Commissioner Katz rescinded his motion.
Cal Cearley stated that very qualified people can be hired for $30,000.00 to
$35,000.00 a year. Most main street coordinators work for a private organiza-
tion, not for the CRA. If the City budgets money for this purpose, Mr. 'Cearley
would like them to give it to B.R.A.G., who would then be responsible for hiring
a main street coordinator whose job would be to dress up downtown and fill the
empty buildings and lots downtown. Mr. Cearley was sure the office space could
be provided for free and he could get desks, typewriters, fax machines, and
telephones donated.
Based on B.R.A.G.'s track record, Barbara Cox, 205 N. E. 5th Street, asked that
he please not do that.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to direct the City Manager to bring forth at budget time
the position of Downtown Development Coordinator with remuneration not to exceed
$42,000.00 and to have the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board bring the CRA
the best candidate. Vice Mayor Aguila seconded the motion.
At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Matson, it was included in the motion that the
Downtown Development Coordinator be a contract employee.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ~ULY 6, 1993
The motion carried 4-1. Mayor Harmening cast the dissenting vote.
2, Code revlslon$1zonln9 In the downtown area
Mayor Pro Tem Matson stated that there was discussion at the Ocean Avenue
meeting about there being many hindrances. The Commission tried to alleviate
some of the problems by eliminating the codes that required upgrading in dif-
ferent stages; however, she did not think the Commission did enough. She felt
the Design Guidelines, the Sign Guidelines, and the Parking Guidelines need to
be eliminated. She would like to see all forms of retail allowed and other uses
not defined as retail should go to the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board
and then to the CRA for determination. Since many codes were changed last year
and people have not taken advantage of them and have not turned their noncon-
forming uses into conforming uses, she would like to see a brochure put together
and market the changes that have been made so that people are aware of these
changes and can utilize them.
Commissioner Katz felt the City should be careful about what type of retail is
allowed.
Vice Mayor Aguila suggested that if a Downtown Development Coordinator is hired,
the area to start with be defined and this person be given new rules and some
latitude.
Mr. Cutro stated that staff will be as flexible as possible when presented with
proposals. Staff will bring proposals to the CRAB and the CRA to waive require-
ments that are superfluous or unnecessary. The Codes can then be readjusted at
that time. They can also be readjusted further after a Downtown Development
Coordinator is hired. Mr. Cutro intends to contact Laura Widmer, the Public
Information Officer, about putting a brochure together.
3. Update on disparity of telephone classifications in the City
Mayor Pro Tem Matson stated that two pockets within the City {one in northwest
Boynton and one in northeast Boynton} are running off Greenacres and West Palm
Beach telephone exchanges. This disparity affects about ten percent of the
population of the City of Boynton Beach. She attended the Public Service
Commission hearings in Plantation and Lake Worth on behalf of the City. The
Public Service hearings were supposed to start this year; however, they have
been postponed until next February. She has been authorized by the City
Commission to be the advocate; however, after speaking to representatives of
Southern Bell, she feels this will be cleared up before it goes before the
Public Service Commission. She intends to lobby our elected officials and the
Public Service Commissioners again. Mayor Pro Tem Matson said it looks as
though the City is going to get some of the things it asked for in its
Resolution.
4, Condition of Miner Road
Mayor Pro Tem Matson stated that three Commission meetings ago, as well a~ one
other time before that, she pointed out the condition of Miner Road. Th~tire
- 20
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA QULY 6, 1993
she spoke of then is still there. The weeds are still growing through the
cracks in the sidewalks. There is graffiti all over the canal crossing, as well
as canal crossings all along Congress Avenue, on the buildings by the movie
theater, and right near the tennis center.
City Manager Miller hopes to utilize PIC employees during the summer months to
take care of the weeds because Public Works is somewhat behind. If he cannot
obtain PIC employees, perhaps he can get some help from the DY Program.
Discussion ensued regarding getting others to do the work staff does not have
the time to do. Also discussed was City Departments cooperating with each other
and notifying each other about work that needs to be done when they see it.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson said Graffiti Busters will remove graffiti free of charge.
She suggested utilizing them. She also said a resident of Dos Lagos suggested
getting together a group of people to go out and paint over the graffiti.
Robert Eichorst, Public Works Director, will have Miner Road cleaned up
tomorrow.
Commissioner Katz asked when this road will be completed. Mr. Cutro advised
that the City Attorney has received approval from the attorney for Citrus Glen
as to the acceptability of their contract. The contracts for Knollwood and
Glick are ready and Mr. Cutro should have them tomorrow. After that the money
will be deposited and the project commenced.
$, Plaza L~ne
Mayor'Pro Tem Matson said Plaza Lane is supposedly a dedicated City right-of-way
between Boynton Lakes Boulevard and Congress Avenue. She spoke with the devel-
oper, the representative of Fru-Con, Grady Savell, about some problems on Plaza
Lane. Apparently, he spoke to Richard Staudinger, who told him that City Code
states there should be one and a quarter inches of asphalt on the streets and
some of the trucks going through to develop the shopping center have damaged the
road. They brought in PSI to do core testings, which showed less than an inch
of asphalt on the streets. Mayor Pro Tem Matson wants it legally checked out if
the street is still owned by Lennar. She understands Lennar is doing the repair
work but feels they are doing it rather shabbily. There are corrugated sewer
sleeves that were not properly connected. The sleeve blew out, the band on the
pipe slipped, and all Lennar did was reattach the sleeve without making any
adjustment, shoved a bunch of dirt on it and made a small asphalt patch. She
also understands there is one manhole on the shopping center site that needs
work and is not being addressed. She asked if the City accepted ownership of
Plaza Lane and, if not, why the City hasn't made Lennar do the repairs and bring
this Plaza Lane up to Code. She referred to a letter here from J. Scott Miller
to Brad Morrill, the President of the Boynton Lakes North Association, which
addresses the damage on the shopping center and states that the developer has a
great deal of work to perform within the right-of-way, including lane widening,
pavement markings, and drainage construction, all of which will impact the con-
ditions that now exist. She asked City Manager Miller which developer he was
21 -
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHZSSZON HEETING
BOYHTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 6, 1993
talking about. City Manager Miller advised her that the work referred to in
that letter pertains to Boynton Lakes Boulevard going onto Hypoluxo.
William Archdeacon, City Engineer, advised that he received correspondence three
weeks ago from the shopping center people questioning the quality of the road,
etc. He sent a letter to the Plaza Lane Engineer of Record asking him what he
is going to do and gave him two weeks to respond. The time for him to respond
expires Thursday. Mr. Archdeacon plans on meeting with his staff next Tuesday
to review those items. He believes the road is owned by Lennar and that
ownership has never been accepted by the City.
Mr. Archdeacon was directed to keep the City Commission apprised. Mayor Pro Tem
Matson also asked him to check into the manhole on the shopping center site.
B, Items for discussion requested by Comm!$$1oner Katz
At this point in the meeting, Commissioner Katz moved up Item D.4.
4, SetbBck$ ~or pools on corne~ lot$
Commissioner Katz stated that he received a telephone call from someone who is
having a tough time getting a pool on his lot. Since Mr. Cutro is familiar with
this matter, Commissioner Katz turned the floor over to him.
Mr. Cutro advised that at their June, 1993 meeting, the Board of Adjustment
denied a request for a variance to allow a pool on a corner lot. Appendix A
states that you have to double front the lot. In other words, the corners both
count as fronts. However, the streets on North Drive are only twenty feet wide.
A question arises as to whether or not the side street should be considered a
street or an alley. Staff thinks the best way to deal with this is to eliminate
the requirement that the corner be counted as a double front, only when putting
in swimming pools. Mr. Cutro felt the chance of a car being driven into a
swimming pool is minimal. He pointed out that a fence is required around the
swimming pool. Mr. Cutro could not find any rationale for not allowing somebody
to use the side lot for a pool. He pointed out that this house is unique
because it is pushed all the way back into the corner. It has a very large side
lot, a normal twenty-five foot front yard and a very small rear yard.
Therefore, the owners do not have the ability to put a pool in the rear yard.
Vice Mayor Aguila was in favor of allowing a twelve and a half foot setback with
a landscape buffer. He pointed out that when a Code is written, it has to be
written for general conditions.
Mr'. Cutro will take a look at some corner lots in single family districts and
see if he can come up with a setback that is acceptable and would apply across
the board.
Don Jaeger, the Building Official, did not recommend allowing pools to go
farther than a structure can be allowed. Therefore, twelve and a half feet
seemed reasonable to him. He stated that in this particular case, a structure
- 22 -
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI~ISSZON #EETIHG
BOYNTOH BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 6, 1993
can go within twelve and a half feet from the side property line that abuts the
side road. However, in some weird quirk of the Code at one point it was put in
that both frontages, no matter what the orientation of the lot, are considered
front yards and have to maintain twenty-five feet. This is unique in one sec-
tion of the Zoning Code. If the City made that section consistent with all the
other sections in determining how to determine the setback for side yards on a
double street, it would be twelve and a half feet.
Lettie Diddle, 802 North Road, stated that there is no frontage. Mr. Cutro con-
firmed this. Vice Mayor Aguila asked if this is considered a corner lot because
there is twenty feet of asphalt. Mr. Cutro answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Cutro stated that another alternative would be to vacate the three twenty
foot side streets.
Mayor Harmening plans to visit 802 North Road to view the situation.
1, Implementation of procedure for walvln9 pen~lt~ fees
Commissioner Katz felt that Code Enforcement fees are being "caught by the
building inspector". He did not think the City should charge four times the
amount of the original fee because somebody did not know they needed to get a
permit. He did not think the City should use those penalties to raise revenue.
He would like something on the books that gives the Building Official the
discretion to waive or reduce these fees. Mayor Pro Tem Matson stated that the
Building Official already has that authority. Mr. Jaeger stated that this is
questionable. City Manager Miller advised that Mr. Jaeger wrote a policy late
last year, which the City Attorney felt needed to be adopted by the Commission.
This policy would give the Building Official some guidance. City Manager Miller
said the City is not after four times the fees to raise revenue and that this is
not a big revenue generator. All the City wants to do is make the people come
in and obtain the initial permit. However, there are some individuals in the
community who are not aware of the Code.
Since the penalty fees are established by the Code of Ordinances, Attorney
Doody advised that an action by this Commission is required to give the
authority to the Building Official to allow him to exercise some discretion in
accordance with established criteria. Absent that action by this Commission,
the Building Official does not have the authority, pursuant to the Code, to
waive those penalty fees.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that there is still some room for discretion on the
part of the Building Official in the Code. Mr. Jaeger agreed there is much room
for discretion in the interpretation of the Codes; however, the Code states that
work done prior to the issuance of a building permit shall have a penalty.
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Attorney Doody advised that if it is the
Commission's intention to entrust the Building Official with the administrative
authority to waive the fees, a motion is required and an acknowledgment that he
may do so, exercising his reasonable discretion. However, if the Commission
wishes to strictly adhere to the Code of Ordinances, it would be a matter that
- 23
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHIS$ION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 6, 1993
should be considered in ordinance form and brought before the City Commission
for further consideration.
Commissioner Walshak moved to direct the City Attorney to bring back an ordi-
nance at the next meeting, incorporating the provisions in the proposed
Administrative Waiver. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion, which carried
5-0.
2, Cars for sale on empty lots
Commissioner Katz would like to see the illegally parked cars in the City
removed faster than they are being removed.
Attorney Doody advised the Commission that there are two alternatives. One is
to pursue the remedies available under the Abandoned Property Statute, which is
the procedure the City relies on now. The other alternative is to pursue the
remedies available under the Towing Statute, which is that if the lot has been
properly posted, a private contractor could be called in to tow away the vehicle
immediately. Attorney Doody advised that the City is not authorized per se to
go onto private property to remove vehicles.
City Manager Miller suggested getting the property owners to post their property
with towing signs, etc., and give the City an affidavit authorizing them to tow
vehicles from their property.
Mayor Harmening stated that if there are only one or two flagrant people that
are creating a real problem, the City can handle them without creating a supera-
bundance of red tape and a whole new bureau to operate it.
Attorney Doody stated that a third alternative would be to cite the property
owner. If the problem is resolved, the Code Enforcement Board can consider
violations that took place but nevertheless were corrected. Notwithstanding the
fact that the person corrected the violation, he may still be penalized.
Attorney Doody felt this would act as a deterrent from commiting the violation
in the future.
3, Water restriction ordinance
Commissioner Katz said the County has an ordinance which restricts watering on
property. There are flagrant violators within the City. He would like the
City to adopt the same ordinance. It was brought to his attention that the City
has already adopted such an ordinance. It was required by the Water Management
District. Commissioner Katz asked why it is not being enforced. Mayor
Harmening advised him that this ordinance was adopted for the times when there
are water shortages.
5. Vtllage Royale on the Green Ltghtlng
Commissioner Katz inquired why the City Manager only approved five lights when
fifteen new poles and eleven upgrades were requested. City Manager Miller
- 24
14:~NUTE$ - REGULAR CITY CO#HTSS[ON NEET:~NG
BOYNTON BEACH, FLOR]:DA JULY 6, 1993
explained that at the last meeting, the City Commission left it up to him to
look at this area. He visited this area three times in the evening and felt
five lights were sufficient. Any more than that would be an overabundance in
comparison to all the other areas in the City. He felt security was good in
this area. Mayor Harmening added that the City has not heard any complaints
about the lighting from the representative of VRG in charge of problems. He
felt five were too many. Mayor Pro Tem Matson felt comfortable with City
Manager Miller's recommendation.
In response to Commissioner Walshak, City Manager Miller advised that three
lights have been put on 1st Lane but none on 3rd. This did not make sense to
Commissioner Walshak because if it is dark enough to warrant lighting on 1st
Lane, the same condition exists on 3rd. In response to Commissioner Walshak
regarding what he based his decision on, City Manager Miller said he has been in
government for twenty years and has done many street lights.
Commissioner Walshak felt the Engineering Department should have checked this
out and the City Manager should not have taken this upon himself. City Manager
Miller said he felt the individual from the Engineering Department went com-
pletely overboard on this. This individual has been doing light surveys for
three and a half years for the City and has never presented a proposal for every
two blocks and increasing intensities from 58 to 95. This individual also did
not do his homework with FPL either because FPL does not put lights in the
middle anymore and they charge on relocation of poles.
E, Items for discussion requested by Conmlsstoner Walshak
1, 1-95 sound barrier wall along old wastewater treatment site
Commissioner Walshak requested a letter from the City Manager to DOT to attempt
to get DOT to string the wall that they are going to string from Boynton Beach
Boulevard all the way up to 22nd, which would take in the frontage of the Old
Sewage Treatment Plant. They are going to run it up to the canal, stop it,
eliminate the length of the Old Sewage Treatment Plant, and pick it up right at
the fence line again and there will be a hole in the fence.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that this is according to their policy.
Commissioner Walshak stated that if it is a residential area, DOT would put the

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH,
FLORIDA, CHAPTER 13, SECTION 13-22 BY AMENDING THE LICENSE TAX SCHEDULE
FOR CERTAIN PROFESSIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY,
CODIFICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
No one wishing to speak on this Ordinance, Mayor Harmening declared the public
hearing closed.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to adopt Proposed Ordinance No. 093-19 on second and
final reading. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the~motion.
Commissioner Walshak stated that at the last Commission meeting, the Commission
chose to take individual professionals out of this ordinance. He would like to
see this Ordinance amended to include that it is the responsibilitY of a firm to
pay for their individual professional employees. In other words, if a company
pays $100 for an occupational license and has five employees, they would pay a
$500 fee. Mayor Harmening felt this was ridiculous.
Motion
Commissioner Walshak moved to amend Proposed Ordinance No. 093-19 to include all
professionals working in those professional offices. Mayor Pro Tem Matson
seconded the motion.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that this ordinance would have to be readvertised if
it is amended. Attorney Doody concurred with Mayor Harmening that it would
require readvertising, since the scope and subject of the ordinance is being
expanded.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, Commissioner Walshak stated that this would
include anyone who is listed with the Department of Professional Regulations.
The motion carried 3-2. Mayor Harmening and Vice Mayor Aguila cast the
dissenting votes.
A roll call vote was polled by City Clerk Sue Kruse on the first motion. The
motion carried 5-0.
