Beform & Yvonne Hemphill - Lien Reduction Hearing
At the August 15, 1990 meeting of the Code Enforcement Board
it had been recommended that this lien of $26,843.40 be
reduced to administrative costs of $730.15.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve this recommendation.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Approval of the Bond Insurer and the Paying Agent
for the 1990 Water/Sewer Revenue Bonds
Carrie Parker, Assistant City Manager had provided the
Commission with memorandum No. 90-030C on this subject and
she remarked a full presentation was scheduled at the next
Commission meeting on October 3, 1990. At this time,
Commission approval was needed on the Bond Insurer and the
Registrar and Paying Agent with the Bond Insurer subject to
additional negotiations from Smith Barney to finalize the
details.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the recommendation of
staff. Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
A Special Commission Meeting was requested for Wednesday,
October 10, 1990, to sign the actual bond purchase
agreement. Mr. Michael Hole of Smith Barney remarked they
plan to have the marketing complete some time on Tuesday,
October 9. The meeting was tentatively set for Wednesday,
October 10, 1990 in the evening to make sure they had time
to give the final numbers to the bond counsel who will have
to incorporate it into legal documents. This was all sub-
ject to market conditions. They didn't want to enter the
market if the timing was not perfect. They would try to
accommodate the Commissioners' schedules, but it was not
possible to "nail it down" at this point.
Mayor Moore indicated Mr. Hole should contact the City
Manager and the Commissioners would work their schedules
around Smith Barney's. Some of the Commissioners were sche-
duled to leave for Orlando on Thursday~morning.
George's Texaco East - Code Enforcement Case
(Previously Tabled)
City Attorney Cherof remarked they continue to monitor this
situation. Reference was made to a dooument which had been
presented to the Commission at one point which indicated
there were a number of violations. Those violations were
not being pursued while Mr. Cassell sought to comply with
the regulations.

was operating illegally in the CBD. Further discussion took
place among the attorneys.
Mr. Kaleita stated a stipulation had been made and they were
willing to abide by it.
Motion
Vice Mayor Wische moved that Mr. Cassell is complying with
all the Ordinances and Codes that have been set forth and is
making a great effort ~o do so. Mr. Cassell is in
compliance. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion for
discussion purposes.
Commissioner Olenik asked, in the City's opinion, what was
the non-conforming grandfathered use of the site. Attorney
Cherof replied automotive service station. Discussion took
place on whether semantics were involved. Commissioner
Olenik thought the Commission needed to make clear decisions
on what types of businesses they want to be located in the
downtown area. The Mayor thought the Ordinance was flawed
and should be reviewed.
Attorney Cherof stated the motion really goes beyond the
subject matter that was tabled last time. The Commission
had asked him to advise whether it was time to file suit
against this property owner or not. He thought perhaps a
better motion would be simply to direct the City Attorney to
take no action at this time.
Further discussion took place. The Mayor ruled the original
motion to be valid and he called the question. The motion
failed 2-3. Commissioner Artis, Commissioner Weiner and
Commissioner Olenik voted against the motion.
New Motion
Vice Mayor Wische moved that the City Attorney be directed
to not institute any action at this time with the amendment
that Mrs. Greenhouse will not be back before the Commission
at the next meeting as she promised. Commissioner Artis
seconded the motion for discussion purposes.
Commissioner Artis asked Mrs. Greenhouse if she was repre-
senting the Planning & Zoning Board or acting as a private
citizen. Mrs. Greenhouse reiterated she was acting as a
private citizen who expected the Commission to enforce its
Codes. If the City didn't like the Codes, she felt they
should be changed.
Vice Mayor Wische stated he wished to withdraw the amendment
about Mrs. Greenhouse not coming back. Commissioner Artis

was agreeable to this change. The Mayor called for a vote.
The motion carried 5-0.
The Mayor remarked this matter had been resolved until there
was a proven violation of the stipulation. Other comments
were made.
Interlocal Agreement Reference ½ Cent Sales Tax
This topic was moved up from OLD BUSINESS.
Mr. Bill Hoffman, Assistant County Administrator explained
interlocal agreements had been approved by nine cities to
direct 100% of the proceeds from the Local Option Sales Tax
to paying for court and jail facilities. On September 4,
1990, the Board of County Commissioners passed an Ordinance
to place this Tax on the November General Election Ballot.
It would be a ½ cent sales tax for five years. On September
11, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners passed a
Resolution which directed monies in the 90/91 budget that
would have gone toward repayment of court and jail bonds.
The Board directed $5,000,000 toward alternative
intervention/prevention and treatment programs for drugs and
criminals. The other $4,000,000 will go against the
operating costs of the new jail when it comes on line.
The County Commission had agreed to a Municipal League
request that the Environmental Lands Charter Amendment
Ordinance be postponed until the March ballot.
Relative to the nine cities that had approved the interlocal
agreements, the Mayor asked if that superceded the 51%. Mr.
Hoffman replied affirmatively. Remarks were made about
Delray Beach's position on this issue. Mr. Hoffman answered
several questions posed by the Commissioners. All of the
nine interlocal agreements are the same with the exception
of Boca Raton's. Brief remarks were made in that regard.
The Commissioners did not wish to alter their position on
this issue.

Mayor Moore suggested these six proposed Ordinances be
reviewed by the new City Planner as they involved some
rather wide sweeping things. The Mayor didn't think some of
these had to go quite as far as they did in order to comply
with the DCA.
The Mayor asked if there was anyone present in the audience
who wished to comment on any of the proposed Ordinances.
Mrs. Stella Rossi addressed the Commission on behalf of the
Coalition for Wilderness Islands. Relative to the sixth
proposed Ordinance on natural resources conservation, she
referred to page 6 of 29. She referred to the headings of
Wetland and Natural Upland Protection Zone, Shoreline
Protection Zone and Request for Determination of Boundaries.
She asked what qualifies the Planning Dept. to make a deter-
mination on these boundaries. She wondered if an expert
biologist would be brought in. How would the decision be
reached? The Mayor thought she raised excellent points
which would be referred to the new Planner.
Relative to page 7 of 29, item B. 2., Mrs. Rossi remarked
she would have to challenge item f. She felt this item
should be deleted. In connection with page 15 of 29, item
~17, Mrs. Rossi challenged staff on the claim that small
clumps of mangroves do not perform significant functions.
She felt this should be deleted.
Mrs. Rossi remarked she didn't see anything included about
ocean outfall. She wasn't sure how that was addressed by
DCA. Mrs. Rossi indicated she could leave a copy of her
notes with the Commission.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to table these six proposed
Ordinances. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.

PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Mr. John Lyon, President of Los Mangos Homeowners Assoc.
questioned City procedure for cutting off water to residents
who are delinquent in paying their water/sewage/garbage
bills. The procedure was explained. Mr. Lyon stated the
City billed their Association for an amount of money which
was subsequently found to be in error. Nine days later,
without any notification, the water was turned off. Their
pool filtration system and pumps ran all night with no water
going through it. Fortunately, the system was not damaged.
The Mayor apologized for the incident and asked the City
Manager to look into this.
Ms. Artis Wells, 501 N.W. 4th Avenue, indicated she repre-
sented the newly formed Boynton Beach Community Action
Group. Organization was underway for a beautification
program in her neighborhood. Concern was expressed over the
appearance of the Boynton Terrace Apartment complex. Live-
in management is needed as well as a sprinkler system and a
play area for the children. A 3' to 5' decorative wall with
flowers planted around the units was suggested. Remarks
were made about the property located on Seacrest and N.W.
10th Ave. being an eyesore. Ms. Wells requested a Police
substation in that area. Public telephones are needed near
the Rainbow City Grocery Store. A school crossing guard is
needed to assist children crossing Seacrest. Ms. Wells
asked that the street sweeper be utilized in her neigh-
borhood.
The City Manager was asked to provide Ms. Wells with a copy
of the letter sent by the City in connection with the
Boynton Terrace Apartment situation. It was explained that
the City had been attempting to purchase the property at
Seacrest and N.W. 10th Ave. The owner didn't wish to sell
at the present time. Further discussion ensued with Ms.
Wells about her areas of concern.

Development
Jim Golden, Interim Planning Director remarked the Planning
& Zoning Board and Community Appearance Board (CAB) accepted
the recommendation of the TRB that this be approved, subject
to staff comments. An issue regarding the landscaped buffer
arose at the CAB meeting. Staff's position was based on
language on the plat that the small lot occupied by the
canal was part of that lot, based on language on the plat
document.
Discussion took place regarding sand which blows across the
canal into the neighborhood. Mr. Golden stated there was a
requirement for a 25' landscaped perimeter greenbelt. There
was also a requirement for a wall because this is zoned
industrial. Commissioner Weiner remarked that initially the
CAB wanted to turn the request down because FPL was not pro-
viding the landscaped buffer. An objection was then raised
that FPL shouldn't be held up "for the sins of Quantum."
The CAB decided to approve it, subject to staff comments.
Mr. Golden noted Lot 51-C is an easement for the South
Florida Water Management District. He explained Quantum
previously approached the Commission and asked that the buf-
fers be approved on a lot by lot basis instead of doing the
whole thing up front. That was agreed upon. The Code also
requires a 6' high buffer wall where residential is abutted,
which is what Safety Kleen provided on their property.
Further east is the industrial area. Instead of the 40'
greenbelt, a 25' greenbelt is required. A wall is not
required in this area. Mr. Golden remarked that at some
point, there would be a change in the buffer because of the
8
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
change in zoning across the canal. It was pointed out that
Safety Kleen bought the easement, but FPL did not intend to
buy that portion of Lot 51-Co The problem was that if
landscaping was put on Lot 51-C, when South Florida Water
Management District dredges the canal, it will destroy the
landscape buffer.
Mr. Golden referred to language on the plat which indicated
Lot 51-C was part of the lot north of it. Although Quantum
wasn't requiring the buyers in all cases to purchase that,
it seemed to be contradictory to language on the plat. Mr.
Golden referred to a previous recommendation in Safety
Kleen's situation that 20' of landscaping be provided on
Safety Kleen's property and the remaining 20' be sodded on
the easement as a compromise.
In this case, Mr. Golden explained the recommendation from
Planning was that they handle this 50/50, namely 12½' of
landscaping on FPL's property and 12½' sodded within the
canal easement.
Discussion ensued regarding the Engineering Dept. recommen-
dation on security lighting.
Mr. Dave Flinchum of Stanley Consultants was present to
represent FPL. He distributed printed material and stated
they were not a perimeter lot. FPL was offered the tract to
the south and did not purchase it. An aerial photograph was
examined. Mr. Flinchum stated the proposed landscaping
would exceed Code. He indicated Lot 51-C was still owned by
Quantum Park.
George Armas, Chairman of the CAB explained difficulties the
CAB had experienced with Quantum Park. The Commission's
decision to allow each project to submit its own 25' buffer
plan caused major problems for the CAB. Mr. Armas stated
this should be a contiguous project all the way around
Quantum Park. With the present arrangement, there would not
be consistency in landscaping treatments and walls. The CAB
requested the Commission have Quantum Park return with a
comprehensive plan for the entire site so when individual
projects come before the CAB they can work towards unifor-
mity as much as possible.
Commissioner Olenik thought the Commission needed to direct
staff to ascertain from Quantum if future developers are
going to be required to purchase the easement. If everyone
opts out, like FPL, there will be real problems with the
required buffer which is visible from the other side of the
canal. The City Manager stated he needed to sit down and
talk with representatives of Quantum about this. He noted

the City had hoped the entire buffer or wall could be
constructed at one time, rather than property by property.
Other comments were made.
Motion
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the recommendations of
staff, subject to staff comments, with the proviso that the
City Manager get together with Quantum. Commissioner Olenik
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Mr. Flinchum made remarks about strict requirements on how
substations can be laid out. He indicated they could only
purchase what was required for construction of a substation.
He further remarked on one of the staff comments which
addressed redesign of the site plan and splitting the
landscaping along the south property line 50/50 with
Quantum. Commissioner Olenik responded the Commission could
not force FPL to purchase the land. Further remarks were
made about the problem that existed. Mr. Flinchum requested
flexibility. Where FPL only had 7' along the driveway, he
remarked if Quantum would install 18' of sod, together they
would have 25'.
Mr. Armas commented the wall for Safety Kleen would be built
within the next month. When that wall was built, he
believed it would set a precedent that would be difficult to
change. He thought it was important that a comprehensive
plan be requested for the entire site before Safety Kleen
constructed that wall. Mr. Armas thought it was acceptable
to build this site by site, but it should be designed as an
overall comprehensive plan for the entire project.
Mayor Moore didn't think shortfalls encountered because Of
deficiencies in dealing with Quantum should be visited on
FPL.

Jim Golden, Interim Planning Director indicated the P&Z
Board recommended approval, subject to staff comments.
Three issues had been raised, however. The Board recom-
mended 1) That the applicant be required to construct an
industrial access road, 2) That the applicant not be
required to extend the guardrail along the west side of S.W.
8th Street, south along the entire expanse of the lake and
3)That the land value be set at $80,000 an acre. In addi-
tion, the applicant's attorney indicated the applicant would
provide an MAI certified appraisal to more clearly define
what the one acre should be worth. The applicant's attorney
had submitted to the P&Z Board, a legal agreement in connec-
tion with the park site which was not acted on because of
language which was problematic in the opinion of staff,
Aside from the three areas, the applicant had been in
agreement with all staff comments.
Park Issue
Mr. Martin Perry, Attorney for Tradewinds referred to a
problem with a provision in Vincent Finizio's report,
paragraph 1, which dealt with the 3½ acre park site. It
addressed soil quality and provisions relating to fill, etc.
Mr. Perry indicated Tradewinds had submitted to the City
fore-boring tests performed by a fill testing laboratory.
They also had promised to submit a topographical survey.
The fore-boring showed the soils were clean sand to a depth
of 10' to 15' which was the depth the quarries were taken.
The topographical information indicated the level of the
soil was at the same level or higher than the adjacent
properties in Leisureville. Mr. Perry felt the land was in
good shape and he didn't want to get into someone making an
arbitrary determination that they would have to bring in
additional fill.
Mr. Perry stated that at no time did Tradewinds ever agree
in addition to dedicating the land, to do anything beyond
bringing utilities to the site when they develop their
northern site. They did not discuss drainage and have no
concept of what the City intends to do with the park. He
wished to withdraw to the extent that his agreement incor-
porated the aspect of drainage and these other things. He
believed the information provided should allow City staff to
evaluate the site. He thought additional fill would create
drainage problems for Leisureville properties.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
An Agreement dealing with dedication of park land was
drafted by Mr. Perry but was not acted on by the P&Z Board.
A technical chronology of events was provided in this
regard.
Mr. Perry stated the Commission and P&Z Board a few months
ago had agreed Tradewinds could provide the equivalent value
of one acre of park land through some type of construction.
What had been contemplated was the Dick Webber Child Abuse
Center, provided Tradewinds was successful in its efforts to
obtain some commercial zoning fronting on Boynton Beach
Blvd.
The discussion moved to other areas of concern. Later the
discussion resumed on the park issue and Mr. Golden
reiterated Tradewinds owed the City nine acres. They were
requesting 50% credit. The Commission had agreed previously
that 3½ acres would be near Leisureville and the remaining
acre would be in the form of improvements to the park site.
The issue was per acre value of this land which would be
translated into the value of the improvements. The Planning
Dept. recommended some type of legal agreement be executed
to cover both parties interests in this regard. The P&Z
Board had recommended a land value of $80,000 per acre.
Commissioner Weiner thought this was an inappropriate place
for a public park and she explained her reasons.
Commissioner Weiner thought the Commission had agreed to
never accept money in lieu of land. Based on the fact that
she felt the location was inappropriate and the fact that it
is only 3~
2 acres and the developer intends to give money
instead of the other acre, she moved that the Commission not
accept this dedicated park land. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Weiner's motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Perry stated that on May 8, 1990, this issue came before
the P&Z Board on a Master Plan Revision to eliminate the
park provision made within the Master Plan at City staff's
recommendation. The P&Z Board moved that a cash equivalent
for one acre of park area could be provided in public im-
provements of equal value in the vicinity of the park. He
stated the Commission approved the same thing on May 15,
1990.
With respect to the preliminary plat, Mr. Finizio stated
there was a duty of the Commission to make a finding rela-
tive to the five amenities Tradewinds is supposed to provide
the City in order to get the credits. He stated the
Commission was supposed to publish that finding in writing
in the form of an agreement.
12
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
City Attorney Cherof stated the Commission was required to
determine what land is to be dedicated or fees paid. If it
is the Commission's determination that the issue was
addressed in May, they simply needed to ratify that for the
record.
City Manager Miller stated he and the Director of Recreation
& Parks had looked at the five sites and they weren't really
applicable for parks. Charles Frederick, Director of
Recreation & Parks explained the sites originally placed on
the plat were for various reasons of no value for park use.
The 3~
2 acres was the change-out. Mr. Frederick indicated
they had looked at the possibility of purchasing some adja-
cent land which would make the site larger in the future and
help buffer Leisureville. He didn't feel this was the per-
fect location, but it was much better than what was
currently available in that area.
Discussion took place regarding the value of the land and
the MAI appraisal the developer had agreed to obtain.
Other remarks were made about the geological surveys of the
soil. The City Manager remarked the City had to make sure
they weren't getting "muck-filled" land, which would require
more money to prepare. Mr. Finizio remarked on the soil
borings obtained and stated this had become a "non-issue."
Mr. Finizio again brought up the Commission making a finding
on the five amenities Tradewinds is to provide in order to
get the credits. Mr. Perry disagreed with Mr. Finizio's
interpretation of what the law is in this regard. Mr. Perry
stated that was a site planning matter. Trad.ewinds couldn't
get to site planning until they got past the platting pro-
cess.
Mr. Finizio replied that as a condition of preliminary plat
Tradewinds is supposed to guarantee they will build 5 of the
7 specific amenities relative to private recreation. Since
they don't have a site plan, they don't know where they will
be located, but they have to agree they will build at least
5 and specify those 5. The Commission needed to acknowledge
that in writing. Mr. Frederick commented we normally do
the actual study of what they're going to provide at the
time of site plan approval. Attorney Cherof indicated Mr.
Frederick was right.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the preliminary plat,
subject to all input and as altered by individual motions.
The agreement is to be reduced to writing. Commissioner
Olenik seconded the motion which carried 4-1. Commissioner
Weiner voted against the motion.

Industrial Access Road Issue
In connection with the industrial access road, Mr. Perry
indicated Tradewinds still did not think it was legally
obligated to build the road. If the City made the deter-
mination that it was their legal obligation, they agreed
they would be willing to post a surety bond for the road
which would be built at a grade consistent with the eleva-
tion of the tracts east of their property line and they
would request a judicial determination on whether they are
legally obligated to build the road. Mr. Perry saw this in
the form of a motion for a declaratory opinion from the
Court on the original Settlement Agreement.
Several minutes later in the meeting, Vincent Finizio
remarked on the $50,000 estimated cost to construct this
road. Mr. Finizio pointed out Gee & Jenson was in the pro-
cess of reviewing this cost estimate which appeared to be
very low. Verification of the figure would be obtained from
the City's engineering consultant.
Mayor Moore didn't think the Commission was in a position to
make a legal determination of whether they had to put this
road in or not. Lengthy discussion ensued.
Maurice Rosenstock, Chairman of the P&Z Board explained the
City Attorney had advised the Board it had to vote one way
or the other on this issue. If they voted it up, there was
no question. If they voted it down, then the Commission
would have to go one way or the other, in order for them to
go to the Courts. If the Commission didn't make a decision,
they would be in a difficult position. It appeared if the
Commission voted it down on that basis, Tradewinds would go
for declaratory judgment. If the Commission stayed neutral,
that becomes a position that is difficult to proceed on. He
asked if the Court would entertain that, based on the
Statutes. City Attorney Cherof thought the Court would
entertain that under the retained jurisdiction of the
Settlement Agreement. Mayor Moore thought it all boiled
down to an interpretation of the Settlement Agreement and
technical discussion took place.
Mr. Perry stated if the Commission didn't make a deter-
mination, then he would have no choice but to post a bond
and go to Court. Mayor Moore responded that was what they
wanted him to do. The Commission desired a judicial deter-
mination, if Mr. Perry was wrong.
Mr. Perry stated Michael Morton sought assurance that if
Tradewinds posted the bond and went to Court and didn't have
a final determination from the Court yet on the road issue,
14

would that bar them from getting their final plat approved.
Mr. Perry believed the answer was no, but he wanted a clear
response from Mr. Finizio. Mr. Finizio stated the developer
would be written a letter by the Engineering Dept. specify-
ing the amount of the surety to be provided the City. This
was a condition of the final plat submission. Once
Tradewinds provided that, Mr. Finizio would write a
Resolution and recommendation to approve the final plat,
subject to putting up the bond. Mr. Finizio referred to
Attorney Cherof's written opinion that the road is depicted
on the Master Plan and the applicant is supposed to
construct the road. Mr. Finizio stated if the Commission
ruled to move the preliminary plat forward, subject to staff
comments, they could successfully complete the final plat
process as long as they provided surety and 2% administra-
tive fees. There was agreement.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to proceed along those lines.
Commissioner Olenik asked what the motion was specifically.
Mayor Moore explained what he felt was involved. Cynthia
Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane remarked Tradewinds had
agreed to this arrangement and based on the Mayor's com-
ments, she didn't see why the Mayor was trying to relax it.
There was a difference in opinion between the Mayor and Mrs.
Greenhouse on what Tradewinds was agreeing to.
Michael Morton stated they were trying to get to a building
permit so they could build the apartments without delays.
They had agreed to post a bond. They submitted a certified
engineer's estimate of what the road cost would be. Mr.
Finizio rejected the engineer's proposal as to what the
amount of surety should be. Tradewinds had agreed to post
that bond and to go along with all staff comments. They
wanted to get to final plat without further delays. They
wanted to come back with a site plan to build the project.
As far as the road, they would post a bond and then take it
to a Judge and ask the Judge if the road is required under
the original Settlement Agreement. If it is required, they
will build it. If it isn't required, they won't build it.
Further remarks were made about when the bond is to be
posted. Attorney Cherof stated Tradewinds may be willing to
put it up now or they may be willing to put it up next week,
so long as they put it up in conjunction with the final
plat. All the Commission was required to do at this point
was to move it forward. Attorney Cherof thought the motion
should be that the Commission was accepting the preliminary
plat with the depiction of the industrial access road. Mr.
Morton might change his mind next week and decide to build
it or he may not. Mr. Cherof didn't think there was any
requirement at this meeting that they get a commitment that
15

the Bond be posted. The Code provided for that. Other
remarks were made. The City Manager clarified Tradewinds
would post the bond at the time of final plat.
Motion
City Attorney Cherof was asked to formulate the motion. He
suggested a motion to approve the preliminary plat with the
depiction of the industrial access road, subject to the
recommendation of the P&Z Board that the road be
constructed.
The Mayor added they needed to cover that the obligation to
pay for the construction of the road will not be determined
until there is a judicial determination and that prior to
final plat approval there has to be a bond put up.
City Attorney Cherof didn't think that had to be incor-
porated in the motion because that is a requirement of the
Code. Mr. Perry remarked he had no problem with Mr.
Cherof's interpretation of what the Ordinance required.
Commissioner Olenik moved that the Commission not make a
legal determination on the responsibility of building the
industrial access road, however, the developer is directed
prior to receiving final plat, to post surety that would
cover the cost of construction of the road and to await a
determination by the Judge as to whose responsibility it is.
Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Mr. Perry commented he had heard the statement made that
this road is shown on the Master Plan. He stated the only
thing shown on their Master Plan was a right-of-way.
Guardrails Issue
As to the guardrails, Mr. Perry stated they had agreed at
the TRB meeting to be governed by DOT standards. DOT stan-
dards indicated they didn't have to extend the guardrail the
entire length of the lake. Comments were offered by Mr.
Golden about the stretch of road which is unprotected by
guardrail and the public safety concern over the possibility
of an errant vehicle going into the lake thereby requiring
underwater rescue. The City had no means of rescuing people
in 20' deep lakes. This would be within the subdivision
along the City collector road.
Vincent Finizio, referred to a section in the PUD regula-
tions which said development should be developed in such a
fashion as not to expose the public to hazards and dangers.
The Mayor asked if there was anything specifically that
16
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
would not amount to a discretionary call on staff's part.
City Attorney Cherof indicated that particular clause in the
Code was broad enough to allow for deferrence to the
Engineering Dept., but ultimately it was a judgment and
discretionary call. City Manager Miller added this was a
recommendation of staff based on public safety concerns.
There was discussion with Mr. Perry about the space between
the road and the lake and the DOT standards themselves were
examined.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to accept the P&Z Board's recommen-
dation on the guardrail issue. Commissioner Olenik seconded
the motion which carried 4-1. Commissioner Weiner voted
against the motion as she thought the Commission had a
responsibility to support the recommendation of the Police
Dept.
The Mayor declared a brief recess at 9:35 P.M. The meeting'
resumed at 9:45 P.M.

Mayor Moore asked if there was any public input.
Mr. Lloyd Powell, 1112 N. Federal Hwy, Boynton Beach
explained that he felt the fee for this service should come
from the fee people pay for occupational licenses. Mr.
Powell stated by paying ad valorem taxes he had paid for
fire protection. To him, fire prevention is part of fire
protection.
The City Manager explained this fee was proposed so the Fire
Inspection Bureau can become self-sufficient and pay for
itself. If the Commission chose to not approve this fee,
this function would be carried through ad valorem taxes.
Mr. Miller stated they were talking about $52,000 which
helps offset the total cost of the Bureau's operation.
Other remarks were made by the City Manager about Code
Section 13-8 and implementing this fee. Discussion took
place on how this fee could be administered by staff.
Commissioner Olenik was concerned with the length of time it
sometimes takes to implement new procedures. By October 1,
1990 he wished the Commission to be provided with a detail
on how the City will implement this Ordinance.

Commissioner Weiner moved to adopt proposed Resolution No.

Laura Widmer, Public Information Officer explained this
would be stronger and more enforceable than the manatee zone
created about 18 months ago. The 50' buffers on either side
of the waterway will be enforced by the Florida Marine
Patrol. The Dept. of Natural Resources will supply signs
for the waterway. State Statute gives the City authority to
take more stringent measures for manatee protection if and
when photographic evidence exists showing manatees in the
waterway.
Don Balmer, 560 Horizons West, #101, Boynton Beach reported
manatees are seen regularly in the intracoastal behind
Sterling Village. Boats travel very fast along this
stretch, endangering the animals which move slowly. Mr.
Balmer had photographic evidence.

Relative to Future Land Use, Ms. Parker noted the issue was
that the Planning Council wanted the City to notify adjacent
local governments of all proposed Land Use Amendments. The
Commission might chose to go ahead with alternative ~3 so
that if there is a potential multijurisdictional impact, the
City will amend its Plan and go ahead and notify the adja-
cent municipalities. Remarks were made about whether other
municipalities had to be notified if they are not impacted.
Staff didn't believe this was meant to apply in all cases,
but only those of multijurisdictional impact.
In connection with Agriculture, they have a policy that
would require the City's land development approval process
to condition new development adjacent to agricultural land
to putting in adequate buffers and setbacks to allow the
continuation of agricultural activities. Staff recommended
alternative ~2, as this policy does not apply as the City
does not have much agricultural land.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
Relative to Education, the County was trying to require a
level of service for schools. They were requesting cities
adopt policies that would defer development unless the edu-
cational levels of service are met. The County would like
the City to require school impact statements for all resi-
dential changes in land use of 30 units or more. Staff
recommended alternative ~1, namely, that the City had
existing policies and objectives that would basically handle
that goal by working with the County as far as locations of
new development and schools.
Ms. Parker made remarks in connection with item ~2 on page 4
which ensures development will not be approved unless educa-
tional facilities and support infrastructure are scheduled
to be available concurrent with the impact of the develop-
ment. It was noted that the City had no jurisdiction over
Building Permits or inspections for schools. This is pre-
empted by the State. Ms. Parker explained what was involved
and indicated staff needed Commission guidance in this
regard. In response to a question raised, Ms. Parker indi-
cated impact fees for schools are still being addressed by
the Court, as to whether the County can level an impact fee
and then turn monies over to the school. She didn't believe
the Court case had been decided yet. Discussion ensued.
Ms. Parker thought they might want to just delete the words
"educational facilities" and say the City will not allow
development to be approved unless support infrastructure
that can be provided by the City to the school facility
(water/sewer, etc.) is available.
The County wanted the City to plan with the School Board to
mutually accept the impact. Staff recommended alternative
~2 and going ahead and expanding Objective 8.22 and Policy
8.221 to include capital improvements in coordination with
the School Board.
Under Environmental, the County wanted the City to notify
adjacent local governments when we have an application for
sensitive lands. Staff recommended alternative ~1.
In connection with Annexation, staff needed guidance. The
County would like the City to graphically depict its future
annexation boundaries. Remarks were made about the City's
changing western boundary. The Commission reiterated it
should extend to the water/sewer service area boundary, the
E-3 canal.
Commissioner Weiner moved to adopt proposed Resolution No.
90-NNNNNN. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.

had the capacity, it had to furnish it. Other remarks were
made.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the revised Agreement.

C. Non-conforming uses in the Central Business District
Because of the numerous and confusing issues involved, a
Special Commission Workshop was recommended to discuss non-
conforming uses, parking, etc. The City Manager recommended
the meeting be set near October 22, after the new City
Planner has arrived. Remarks were made about the CBD and
commercial CRA boundaries. An exact date was not set.
D. Interlocal Agreement Reference - ½ cent Sales Tax
This topic was addressed earlier in the meeting.
E. FEC Property Acquisition Negotiations
City Manager Miller wished to commence negotiations with the
FEC. Mr. Miller noted the FEC had requested another
appraisal of the property. These negotiations involved both
parcels. The Mayor instructed Mr. Miller to keep working on
this.
F. Height Limitation Informational Flier

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
The fact sheet which was to be used to develop the flyer was
examined. Vice Mayor Wische and Commissioner Weiner indi-
cated they were against the height being changed.
Vice Mayor Wische felt this issue required much more study.
He moved it be taken off the ballot. Commissioner Weiner
seconded the motion.
Discussion took place with the City Clerk. The Mayor
understood they would need an Ordinance repealing the
existing Ordinance.
City Manager Miller remarked there were a lot of assumptions
that need to be taken into consideration. They were
attempting to take a "middle of the road" position. Quantum
Park was clear because of the DRI. Discussion took place
regarding the data and the projected impact. Ms. Parker
remarked this was a 20-year projection to buildout. The
Mayor remarked on the projected 10,000,000 sq. ft. of office
space. Other remarks were made about parking requirements.
The Mayor called for a vote on the motion which would repeal
the Ordinance and stop the referendum. The motion carried
5-0.
G. Utility Rate Increases - Informational Flyer
Commissioner Olenik noted there were several new fee struc-
tures this year. He asked if there was any way to expand
the flyer to add fire inspections, fire alarms, etc. Laura
Widmer pointed out that in the upcoming Newsletter, the City
would be providing a "run-down" on all the new fees and
changes. She thought this more detailed flyer could be
expanded to a legal size page and folded to include more
information. It was agreed that a "reminder" on fire
inspections and false alarms should be provided on the
flyer.
H. Visions 200Q Program
Commissioner Olenik referred to previous discussion on
setting a "retreat" on this subject. The City Manager
remarked he had a facilitator lined up for either a half day
or full day program. The Commission would need to decide
when to hold it. Mr. Miller didn't have the cost proposal
with him. The City Manager was asked to find out the cost
and then Commissioner Olenik stated he would attempt to get
it underwritten by businesses in the community, so that it
wouldn't cost the City. When the details are worked out,
the City Manager was asked to provide the Commission with a
memorandum.

SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
I. Fire Station ~3 Update
Commissioner Olenik asked what did the contract indicate
would happen if they didn't meet the construction deadline.
City Manager Miller stated the original completion date, as
amended, was November 15, 1990. However, there were
problems relative to getting the South Florida Water
Management permit. That was an error on Miller, Meier's
part. Because of this, they couldn't proceed and they got a
30 day extension to December 18, 1990. There is a penalty
clause addressing delay after that date.
Mayor Moore expressed concern over a statement by the
contractor saying he was looking forward to claims for
extras based on additional cost increases in manufacturing
costs and labor increases. The Mayor hoped we didn't have a
contract where the contractor makes a bid and then because
costs go up he wants to charge the City. Mr. Miller replied
negatively and stated George Wasser had been arguing with
the contractor about any add-ons. Mr. Miller thought he had
been frugal. The Mayor was satisfied with Mr. Miller's
response.
J. Fire Engine Status
As the City just got insurance on the new aerial ladder
truck, staff on each shift will be trained in its use.
Remarks were made about a recent problem experienced and
losing an engine. Mr. Miller indicated there would be a
full report on that. Bob Eichorst stated it appeared the
fire was caused by one of the pumps. The wiring system was
burned all the way up to the cab. Comments were made about
the limited number of trucks that exist and expediting the
repair. Mr. Miller stated this would be considered an
emergency and they would forego the bid process to get the
truck back in operation as soon as possible. Mr. Eichorst
indicated it was top priority.
K. Occupational License Moratorium
Commissioner Olenik thought the Commission needed a report
on justification for Occupational License fees. The City
Manager requested permission to suspend Code Section 13-8.
From his research, City Attorney Cherof stated he was
satisfied that "catch-all" provision is legal. A similar
clause had been addressed by a Florida Court after being
challenged by employers who were charged an Occupational
License fee individually and also under the firm name. The
case involved the City of Miami in 1980. The Court held it
was a proper type of Occupational License tax. It was also
34
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
under a "catch-all" type provision much like the one Boynton
Beach has in its Code. From a legal point of view, it is an
enforceable provision. Mr. Cherof pointed out it had been
addressed at a later time as well. He referred to an
Attorney General's opinion allowing real estate agents to be
licensed individually.
Commissioner Weiner suggested putting a moratorium on this
and then coming back to the subject. Don Jaeger stated that
would prove difficult as the renewals had already been sent
out. Mr. Cherof remarked they could earmark funds, address
the issue, and if necessary, refund those categories.
Discussion took place. Mr. Jaeger noted they only realize
there are multiple professionals in a business when staff
makes the actual on-site inspections. The Occupational
License personnel could be instructed in this area. Section
13-8 would thereby be taken care of administratively. The
City Manager didn't want staff to be out in the field,
charging numerous professionals at a firm the fee, when the
City is going to have to refund a sizable portion of it.
The City Manager requested the City Attorney draft an
Ordinance repealing Section 13-8 for the next Commission
meeting. The Commissioners were agreeable.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for Discussion Requested by Mayor Gene Moore
1. Code Enforcement Case - George Cassell
(George's Texaco)
This topic was addressed earlier in the meeting.
2. Interim Services Tax
Mayor Moore referred to a consultant being hired in connec-
tion with this subject at a cost of $22,000. If he had
voted for that action, he recanted, as he felt it was a
mistake. He referred to Court cases in several cities and
felt it was a legal question. He desired an update from the
City Attorney on what the status of the law is. He wanted
to know if there has been deviation from the Court cases
knocking out the interim Services taxes. The Mayor stated
there had to be some basis to determine when the tax
appraisal is going to be put on the property when it is
substantially complete.
City Manager Miller responded they could put a "hold" on
this. Mr. Miller reported Josias & Goren had defended the
1985 case involving the City of Oakland Park involving a
35
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
class action suit. The City of Oakland Park lost that case
and Mr. Miller explained the reasons. Mr. Miller explained
how Oakland Park remedied the situation.
The Mayor repeated he would like this put on "hold" before
the City spends $22,000 for input. He wanted to see deci-
sions indicating it is okay to do this. The City Attorney
was asked to provide a memorandum in this regard.
B. Items for Discussion Requested By
Commissioner Arline Weiner
1. Starting Time for City Commission Meeting
Commissioner Weiner reported on the number of working citi-
zens who had indicated the 6:00 P.M. starting time of
Commission meetings makes it impossible or difficult for
them to attend. She thought 7:00 P.M. would be a more
reasonable starting time. Discussion took place.
Commissioner Weiner moved that the Commission meetings start
at 7:00 P.M. Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which
failed 2-3. The Mayor, Vice Mayor and Commissioner Artis
voted against the motion.
2. Amendment %3 Update
Commissioner Weiner remarked about the Resolution passed in
support of Amendment 3 being on the November ballot. She
wondered if something could be put in the City's Newsletter
to urge citizens to vote yes on this issue. The other
Commissioners agreed. Commissioner Olenik remarked he had
already spoken to Laura Widmer about this and had been
advised it might be too late, but an attempt would be made
to do this.
Remarks were made about possibly obtaining money from the
Amendment 3 people to finance an informative ad for the
newspapers. The City Manager explained Boynton Beach's name
did not appear on the League flyer which came out September
6, 1990 as the City adopted its Resolution on September 5,
1990.
3. HRS Report
Commissioner Weiner had been in touch with Robert Williams,
District Administrator for HRS. Mr. Williams reiterated his
commitment to having an HRS office in Boynton Beach but
indicated HRS is in the middle of an $800,000 computer
buildup called the Florida Plan. This will be put into
effect in the Spring and will increase their control over
36

services. This program appeared to be "sucking up"
available funds.
After the November election, when the Palm Beach delegation
is named, Commissioner Weiner wanted to come back to the
Commission for permission to lobby each delegate on the need
for an HRS facility in Boynton Beach.
Commissioner Weiner indicated the only ray of hope was the
fact that the Boynton Beach Community Life Center, which
will be located at Poinciana School, is an HRS project.
Under the law, anyone who walks in off the street and wants
to apply for food stamps must have their application pro-
cessed at that location. That office will be prepared to
offer food stamps to the 75 individual cases involved in the
program. The new tentative opening date for the Center is
November 1, 1990.
C. Items for Discussion Requested by Vice Mayor Lee Wische
1. Discussion on Central Business District (CBD)
Parking Relief
Vice Mayor Wische referred to interesting comments brought
up at the P&Z Board meeting relative to alleviating parking
problems in the CBD.
Maurice Rosenstock, addressed the Commission on behalf of
the P&Z Board. He reported on previous efforts of very
limited success towards revitalizing the downtown area. He
referred to the Lighthouse Square Marina project and what it
will bring to the downtown area. As predicted, other busi-
nesses in the CBD, in order to compete, want to beautify
their properties. However, they find themselves in a "Catch
22" situation because the Parking Ordinance states that if
you improve your buildings, you must now meet the new
parking standards.
Mr. Rosenstock had suggested the City Commission authorize
the City Manager to create an investigative group composed
of the City Manager, the new City Planner, the City
Engineer, the P&Z Board, the TRB and such other boards and
individuals as the City Manager deemed necessary, to solve
this problem.
It was noted that in many larger cities people park and then
walk a block or two to get to their destination. Mr.
Rosenstock commented on streets that might need restriping
and suggested businesses be asked to pay the costs. If the
area generated a great deal of traffic, the City could con-
sider a parking garage with the cost paid for by businesses
37
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990
and the City. Mr. Rosenstock had spoken to business people
in the area who were willing to contribute over $50,000 over
a period of a few years to defray these costs.
Mr. Rosenstock stated Jose Aguila had also suggested the
graduate school of the universities might undertake the
study of various solutions as a project without any cost to
the City. There could be other solutions as well.
Mr. Rosenstock referred to Article X, Section 5-145 (c)
which provides for a temporary solution by granting a con-
ditional variance. He stated the variance could be pulled
back when the City wished.
Discussion took place on whether there was such a thing as a
conditional variance. The City Manager thought if a
variance was approved, it shouldn't later be withdrawn. The
Mayor agreed. Don Jaeger remarked the CRA does have the
authority under the Zoning Code to vary the provisions of
parking in the CBD.
Mr. Miller thought this was something that could be
addressed at the tentative October Workshop meeting where
non-conforming uses will be discussed.
Lynne Madson, 1 Chesterfield Drive, Boynton Beach commented
on benefits the Lighthouse Square Marina project would bring
the City. She hoped a bandshell would bring outdoor con-
certs and culture to the inner City. She encouraged an in-
depth study of the City's parking problems so businesses
will be able to make improvements without so much dif-
ficulty.
Harry Stein, 760 E. Ocean Ave., Boynton Beach spoke on
behalf of Coastal Towers Condominiums. The residents
believe the present law on parking is good and was designed
to stop traffic congestion and to discourage parking on the
street. Mr. Stein believed talk about changes was directed
at the Two Georges. Generally, you don't make a change for
one person. He noted over 160 acres are in the CBD. He
didn't think the Commission should rush into this change as
it is a complex issue. Comments were made about the possi-
bility of constructing a parking garage, financed either by
the City or jointly by businesses in the area. Other
remarks were made.
Earle Waters, Sr. 416 N.W. 1st Ave., Boynton Beach made
remarks about beautification efforts on Boynton Beach Blvd.
He believed several years back this issue came up and had
been backed by the owner of the Holiday Inn. He stated the
Commission at that time voted the project down.

1. Special Commission Meetings

meetings being set on short notice. Mayor Moore remarked
that recently when it was discovered that Commissioner
Olenik couldn't attend, the Special meeting was cancelled.
E. Environmentally Sensitive Lands

Commissioner Olenik moved to authorize the City Manager to
proceed with appraisals. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 4-0. Mayor Moore abstained from
voting. Memorandum of Voting Conflict is attached to the
original copy of these Minutes in the City Clerk's office.
E. Review and approval of advertisement reference Solid
Waste Disposal, Collection and Recycling
The City Manager showed the Commission what the ad would
look like. The ad is required by Florida Statute and
addresses residential, single family, multi-family and non-
residential categories. Ms. Parker explained that in six
months we would have to place an advertisement detailing
costs for fiscal year 89/90. At the end of the current
fiscal year we will do one for 90/91. An ad will be run
every year thereafter. This is a new requirement.
Commissioner Olenik moved to authorize staff to proceed.
Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
F. Change Order ~5 (Credit), 6, 7 and 8 -
Fire Station %3
Mr. Miller explained these minor change orders had been pro-
cessed through George Wasser. Change order ~5 was a credit
due to a change in the stucco finish. The other three
related to enlarging a tie beam and column, adding hot and
cold water supply and a drain and vent as well as adding
four switches for exhaust fans in the Engine Bay. Mr.
Miller recommended approval.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve these change orders.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
G. Community Relations Board Funding Request Recommendation
At the September, 1990 meeting, the Community Relations
Board reviewed the final funding request for the 89/90
fiscal year. The Board approved a recommendation to the
Commission to grant $4,000 to the Crisis Line Information
and Referral Service. It was noted that after this expen-
diture, about $8,000 will be left in their fund. Mr. Miller
pointed out the $8,000 would be encumbered into the next
year. There was agreement.
Commissioner Olenik moved to approve the recommendation.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

Commissioner Olenik questioned the voluminous listing of
bills paid. It was noted that the listing is very large as
it is year end. Commissioner Olenik noted a change in for-
mat on the list. He didn't feel the Commission needed this
much information in the future.
Mayor Moore questioned a payment of $63,584.00 to CH2M Hill.
The City Manager provided an explanation and indicated this
was part of the task orders approved by the prior
Commission. The Mayor didn't think there was sufficient
explanation and stated he intended to vote against this. A
representative from CH2M Hill addressed the Commission and
explained specific charges for various services rendered the
City. Staff recommended payment of the $63,584.00.
Relative to the listing of Accounts Receivable Writeoffs,
Commissioner Olenik asked if charges for lot clearing could
be attached to the property tax bills. The City Attorney
and City Manager thought it probably would be cost prohibi-
tive unless the charges were high.
