E. 10th Avenue. The other item on the memo pertains to a report that Councilman Cassandra asked for relative to training which was not finished in time.

Mr. deLong moved to approve the agenda with these additions, seconded by Mr. Zimmerman. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Warnke referred to there being no specific announ- cements, except one thing he would like to mention which he thinks should have a little bit of media support. We now have Code Enforcement Officers out on weekends and evenings and he would like to say that truck parkers, roofers, builders and anyone else concerned to please take note. He is glad to see the Code Enforcement Officers out on a round the clock basis. MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Mr. Cheney announced that thanks to the Mayor, last night at the fireworks, we had an additional ~attraction of patriotic music, which was a definite plus. The people were extremely pleased and gratified with the whole effort. He thinks we should build on having music during the next few years as it helped a lot. Mayor Warnke added that last night was excellent and we may have improvements next year as he thinks it went over pretty well. Councilman deLong moved for reconsideration of the place where he put Items G and H as the remarks he wants to make are after the City Manager's Report. Councilman Cassandra seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0. MINUTES Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of June 21, 1983 Councilman Cassandra moved to accept the Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of June 21, 1983, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman.

Motion carried 3-0 with Mr. Wright and Mayor Warnke abstaining due to absence. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Water Well Situation Mr. Cheney reported that the new wells under construction are moving along. The two wells being rehabilitated are in operation and we are still testing in regards to quantity of water to be pumped. He knows there is some concern about the six new wells. For a period of time, there will be straight 72 hour round the clock pump testing'operation. This will go on from time to time as there is no way around it, but it will be done only when absolutely necessary. Budget - Community Development Program Mr. Cheney reported that the proposed budget for the coming year for the Community Development program, which is funding the neighborhood strategy area, has proposed an additional $200,000 allocated by the County for the coming year. This - 2 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 is proposed to be spent on N. W. 12th Avenue, N. W. 13th Avenue, and N. W. 3rd Street in accordance with plans already approved. This is in addition to the $400,000 being spent on N. E. 10th Avenue. City Budget Mr. Cheney stated he would like to give some forewarning about the upcoming City budget. We are doing a lot of work on it. He doesn't want the Council surprised that revenues are not overly optimistic. We must watch expenses. We will be proposing some increases in fees. We will be proposing an increase in the sanitation fee which is directly related to the land fill cost. We will be proposing increases in building fees because the inspection program increases. We will be proposing increases in capital facilities charges for developers. We will be proposing an additional increase in utility fees for the coming year. All this is necessary unfortunately in order to keep the City in good shape and meet the costs we have. As they are aware, we are in an unfortunate situation in that the taxable assessed base for the City is about the same as last year because new construction has about equalled the dollar value to the exemptions given. There has been a sudden increase in homestead exemptions in a year when growth has not been great. Mr. Cheney added that it will be interesting to review the budget. He hopes as it is reviewed, we will have a lot of citizens listening to the problems and concerns. Mayor Warnke announced there will be three public meetings during the month of July on the budget issue. If anyone has any input, additions or corrections, there will be three public meetings in July where they can come forward to express their views. The times and dates will be announced in the newspapers. Rest Rooms at Boat Launching Ramp Councilman deLong stated he would like to prevail upon the City Manager to see what can be done to give high priority to construction of decent rest rooms at the boat launching ramp. The rest rooms there are inadequate and not of a suf- ficient number. He has received many complaints. - 3 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA Board Residency Requirements JULY 5, 1983 Councilman deLong referred to the decision that members of the City boards must reside in the City and stated about eight to nine months ago, he was asked by a local resident to be appointed to the Community Appearance Board and this member has now given notice that he is moving out of the City. He is under the impression that he can remain on the Board until 1985 when his term expires, but according to Ordinance No. 80-5, it says each regular and alternate member of the Board should be a resident of the City. This member was appointed under those regulations, so he must vacate. Mayor Warnke referred to Mr. Vance making a ruling about the members on Boards being grandfathered in and Mr. Vance clarified that this is one which obviously was not amended. If the individual was appointed subsequent to 1980, he would have to leave the Board when he leaves the City. For those people serving on Boards when the ordinances were amended two months ago could serve out their terms. Councilman deLong moved to have the City Manager notify Mr. Meyer Rubin that his term of office has expired since he is leaving the City. Vice Mayor Zimmerman seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Cheney added that this was a lapse on his part for not looking up this and realizing the Community Appearance Board had a residency requirement Motion carried 5-0. · PUBLIC AUDIENCE Mayor Warnke announced if anyone wished to speak on any sub- ject not on the agenda, they may come forward to the podium at this time. If anyone wants to speak on any item on the agenda to please give their name to the City Clerk and they will be called upon at the appropriate time. Mrs. Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, advised she is the Chairman of the North Boynton Civic Improvement Association and Vice Chairman of the North Boynton Cleanup Task Force. She referred to submitting a copy of a memo from Mr. Kahlert, County Engineer, noting design funds have been appropriated in the amount of $150,000 in reference to Seacrest Boulevard and a copy of a letter from Commissioner Koehler noting with the assistance from Boynton Beach, Seacrest Boulevard would be included in the County's budget for the coming year and stated that Commissioner Koehler guaranteed $100,000 if Boynton Beach would contribute $50,000. The cost is 1.2 million dollars per mile including -4- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 drainage, which would amount to $3,000,000. She is asking the Council to consider contributing $50,000 towards the design cost to get this rolling. She understands there is money in revenue sharing and a projected amount froTM the gas tax. Looking at the practical side of this project, $50,000 is not a lot of money compared to $3,100,000 contributed by the County to serve all of Boynton Beach. Also, the City will not have to worry about money for drainage. Mrs. Zibelli continued with telling about the bad situation they have to live with where Co-Tran buses and school buses are on a two lane road and tie everything up. There are trucks and cars going to and from 1-95 and there will be more traffic in the future with Motorola. The people of North Boynton cannot impress on the Council enough for the need of widening Seacrest Boulevard and the after effect. In the pre-election interviews with newspapers, each and every one of the Council members elected answered the question about upgrading of North Boynton in the affir- mative. They would like to have the campaign promises fulfilled. Mayor Warnke asked if she was in favor of the 4~ gas tax and Mrs. Zibelli replied that she is in favor of a 2~ tax which would be $1 per month for the average driver. Mayor Warnke clarified that she was not in favor of the 4~ gas tax and Mrs. Zibelli replied that she is able to pay, but if the 2~ tax is put through and we put our $50,000 to it, it will guarantee we will get Seacrest Boulevard. She continued that it will cost the County $3,100,000. If the study costs less, we will be asked to contribute 1/3 of the lesser amount. Mayor Warnke stated a public hearing was held this morning on improving Seacrest Boulevard as well as other roads and Mrs. Zibelli replied that she could not attend, but from what she understands from television, she does not think the people understand that the 2~ tax would only be $1 per month. Mayor Warnke informed her that it must be 4~ for this road. Councilman Cassandra clarified that Mrs. Zibelli has made a request and what she thinks of the 4~ tax has nothing to do with it. Councilman deLong referred to having been after this widening and drainage of Seacrest Boulevard for years and stated we started in 1976 and got the south end finished. The City Council already started on the north end. It was delayed because the County did not have ownership and - 5 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 responsibility until 1982 according to the State Legislature. We appreciate all the support the people on the north end are giving us. He thinks the people should storm the County Commission meeting. Mrs. Zibelli advised that they have been doing that. Councilman deLong continued that insofar as giving people bad habits and having municipalities contribute to something they have the sole responsibility for is opening a can of worms. He explained how this road was put under County jurisdiction by the State. Mrs. Zibelli referred to the City having control of Seacrest Boulevard for many years and stressed the fact that 1.2 million dollars per mile included drainage, so it would save the City a tremendous amount of money. Mr. deLong replied that this would not be saving the City any money as drainage is the County's responsibility also. Councilman deLong stated that he has not seen anything where the County Commission voted on this. Mrs. Zibelli informed him that it was a guarantee from three commissioners. Mr. deLong stated that once we start contributing to any other government agency having a responsibility, we are opening a can of worms. Mayor Warnke referred to being a member of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, which is primarily concerned with transportation in the County, and stated he has pushed the improvement of Seacrest Boulevard. According to the way things are developing, everything is in the north end of the County. It is a County road and he doesn't feel we can contribute financially at this point. Mr. deLong agreed that we should prevail upon the County Commissioners to do this. Also, money can be saved by doing the study in-house. Mr. Zimmerman added that some of the County Commissioners are on record saying they have the expertise in-house to draw up the plans. If it is done in-house, the $150,000 won't be needed and it can be used for something else. We have a lot of streets needing repair in the City. Mrs. Zibelli informed the Council that she talked to Commissioner Koehler this morning and asked what the $150,000 was for and was told that he had not been able to find out whether it was in-house or a contractual figure. If it is done in-house, it would be 1/3. Vice Mayor Zimmerman referred to the County trying to get something extra out of the City and Mrs. Zibelli replied - 6 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 that the people cannot live with the present situation on Seacrest Boulevard. Mr. Zimmerman clarified that he is not against the road being built and thinks it will be built, but does not think we should add money to it. It is the County's responsibility and they should assume it. Mrs. Zibelli remarked that if the money does not get into this year's budget, we are in for a long wait. Councilman Wright referred to calling a meeting in April because the residents wanted something done with Seacrest Boulevard and stated it had been the City's responsibility, but nothing was done. Now the County wants us to give assistance. He thinks we should do our fair share. We have been able to find money for other things and he thinks we should find the money for this. Councilman deLong suggested that the Mayor push this as a member in the Metropolitan Planning Organization and Mayor Warnke replied that he has already done this. Councilman deLong commented that he thinks it would be foolhardy for this Council to start contributing toward the responsibility of any government agency. Mayor Warnke added that as mem- bers of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the mayors of Delray Beach and Boca Raton are pushing the County to get more improvements in the south end and Seacrest Boulevard has been one of the top priorities. Councilman Cassandra referred to the last meeting when he suggested some money be put towards 23rd Avenue, which is a County road and stated that Seacrest Boulevard as well as other roads in Boynton Beach fall within our boundaries. It is a road our 'citizens must use. We should be concerned about the use and improvement. He is not in favor of us picking up County roads. He would want a guarantee that Seacrest Boulevard will be put in the budget and it will be a total $30,000 to $50,000 investment on the City's part and we won't have to put money in to build it also. He was reminded by the City Manager that it might be a good time to start cooperating with the County. He thinks there should be some mutual agreement here as the road was under our control and it was turned over to the County. We should have a guarantee that an initial investment of $50,000 will be it. If the gas tax passes, he would like to stipulate that the money is used for Seacrest Boulevard. Councilman Wright asked if he was saying we should be in a position to match 1/3 if it is approved by the County and Mr. Cassandra clarified that they must guarantee it. Mr. - 7 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 deLong added if the County will put that guarantee in writing, maybe he can prevail upon the Council members to go along with it. Councilman Wright referred to speaking to the citizens and stated he feels we must commit to do some things ourselves and we must give them support to get some things in the City. Mayor Warnke referred to studies having been done over the years on Seacrest Boulevard and stated he cannot see where $150,000 is needed for another study. Everybody knows the road must be widened. He wants to see Seacrest Boulevard widened, but doesn't know where $150,000 is needed for a study. Councilman deLong stated that we made an effort with the south end and still will fight for the north end. However, what guarantees are to be made remain to be seen! Mr. Benjamin Katz, 2520 N.E. 1st Court, referred to South Seacrest Boulevard being done and questioned why North Seacrest Boulevard couldn't be done? If the answer is that North Seacrest is the County responsibility, that is not acceptable to the people who live in the area. A large part of the road lies within the City limits. The County Commissioners have agreed to contribute $100,000 towards a design course and it is included in the 83-84 budget. He urges the City to cooperate with the County and contribute $50,000 to this design project. He respectfully requests the City to assume this responsibility and cooperate with the County. Mr. Leon Brodkin, 2300 N. E. 1st Lane, referred to having a personal experience and told about an accident he was involved in while travelling along Seacrest Boulevard due to the narrowness and turn in the road. He requests the Council to do as much as possible to get the County to do this job and do it right. Mrs. Gertrude Lubin, 22nd Ave. & 3rd Court, told about the terrible condition of North Seacrest Boulevard from 12th Avenue to Hypoluxo Road. She added that it is a lovely boulevard from the canal south. She thinks the taxpayers in the north end certainly have some rights. She does not think one thing has been done on the north end in the nine years she has lived here. She does not think the Council members come down that way at all. The trees even look terrible along North Seacrest Boulevard. People are unable to sell property in that area. The people in the north end have been neglected. - 8 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Mayor Warnke clarified that when he mentioned north and south ends, he was talking about the whole county with south being south of Forest Hill Boulevard. Also, he lives a few blocks from Mrs. Lubin and knows what she is talking about. Councilman deLong stated that he cannot let it go by that the north end has been neglected. Since he has been on the Council, Wilson Center was enlarged three times, a beautiful ball park was put in, a lot of money was spent on the pool, 10th Avenue is under the process of being widened, new buildings were put in at the General Services Depot, the lots between 6th and 8th Avenues were rezoned for additional housing, etc. At this time, Mayor Warnke acknowledged the presence of former Mayor Trauger and announced a publiC hearing is sche- duled for 8:00 P. M. Councilman deLong moved to suspend the regular order of business and go to the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Cassandra. Motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P. M. Rezoning Request by Lee Starkey for Royal Petroleum, Inc. (Postponed from May 17, 1983 Meeting) Mr. Cheney informed the Council at the time this was post- poned, we had a request from Mr. Lee Starkey to withdraw the petition. We are proceeding with an amendment to the zoning ordinances which would negate the need for this rezoning request. It was suggested that he not withdraw it at that time to see if the City Council adopted the zoning text amendment. Mr. Starkey is not present, but he previously requested this rezoning request to be withdrawn. Councilman deLong moved to grant this request to withdraw this application, seconded by Councilman Wright. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. deLong moved to revert to the regular order of business, seconded by Mr. Wright. Motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC AUDIENCE (Continued) Councilman Wright ascertained nobody else wished to speak on Seacrest Boulevard and stated since we have expressed interest to the County repeatedly on needed improvements for Seacrest Boulevard, he moves for us to officially write them requesting them to act and apprise the City of Boynton Beach - 9 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 what they plan to do regarding appropriating money for design and then see what we can do to support them. Councilman deLong added that it would be appropriate to find out whether they are going to do it in-house. Councilman Cassandra seconded the motion. Mayor Warnke clarified that the motion was to officially approach the County Commission asking them what they intend to do on Seacrest Boulevard and whether they plan to have a study done by the staff or contract out. Under discussion, Mr. Cassandra clarified that we are not requesting the City to grant $50,000, but are saying if we grant $50,000, what are they going to do. Mr. deLong stated that he thinks Mr. Wright made the appropriate motion and does not think any amounts of money should be mentioned and was not included in the motion. Mayor Warnke requested Councilman Wright to clarify and Mr. Wright stated we would like to know from the whole Board of County Commissioners what they plan to do with Seacrest Boulevard in terms of design and whether the study is to be done in-house or by contract. As requeSted, Mrs. Boroni took a roll call vote on the motion as follows: Motion carried 5-0. Vice Mayor Zimmerman - Aye Councilman Cassandra - Aye Councilman deLong - Aye Councilman Wright - Aye Mayor Warnke - Aye Councilman Cassandra stated he would like to m~ke a state- ment since this has cleared the decks and now we are in agreement to get Seacrest Boulevard. He is very much con- cerned in what is happening in this Council body as well as with the citizens of Boynton Beach. He does not want to impune anyone's character or integrity or imply personal aspirations. Approximately two Council meetings ago, the people said to leave the money for this which would not be spent on bike paths. We do not have a budget for North Boynton or South, East or West. Our budget is on a priority need for the entire City. He then read from the "Boynton Times" where it mentioned asking the City to fund the North Boynton study and that Councilman Sam Wright was asked to discuss the $50,000 with his staff. He was not aware that we had two Councils - one for the north and one for the south! He feels Councilman Wright is splitting this City apart. We have one City of Boynton Beach and do not have a north and south. Any problem is a concern of his for every part of Boynton Beach. We are not concerned with North, South, East or West. - 10 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Councilman Wright replied that he does not understand how Councilman Cassandra can assume he is representing North Boynton as he is representing the people. He has offered to assist all the people. The people have said they want improvements along Seacrest Boulevard and the youngsters want a gymnasium in Boynton Beach. He also worked for the golf course. Mayor Warnke stated that Councilman Cassandra has risen to a point of interjecting his opinions into the public audience and Councilman Wright has responded, and now it will behoove us to drop this matter. Councilman deLong requested Councilman Wright to introduce the Council to his staff and Councilman Wright clarified that this ~as quoted from Commissioner Koehler and not from him. CONSENT AGENDA Bids Extension of Anhydrous Ammonia Bid - Utilities It is the recommendation of the Utilities Director to extend our present contract with Bower Ammonia & Chemical Company for another year for our supply of anhydrous ammonia. The Purchasing Agent concurs that the City's best interest would be served by extending this contract rather than rebidding at this time. Extension of Bulk Pebble Quick Lime Bid - Utilities It is the recommendation of the Utilities Director to extend our present contract with Longview Lime for another year for our supply of bulk pebble quicklime. The Purchasing Agent concurs that the City's best interest would be served by extending this contract rather than rebidding at this time. Approve extending Fuel and Lubricant Bids (Postponded from June 21, 1983 Meeting) The Purchasing Agent recommends because there is no specific and emphatic guarantee but only an implied guarantee from John D. Behnke, Inc., the City should extend the bid with Gulf. - 11 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Request fOr Zoning Approval for Alcoholic Beverage License: Boynton Shell West 301 North Congress Avenue Boynton Beach, FL e Boynton Shell East 1520 S. Federal Highway Boynton Beach, FL The Deputy Building Official noted the zoning at both above locations does permit the sale of beer and wine, package sales only. Approve request for use of a construction trailer on the property site of Arden Park, Lots 40, 41, 42, 43 The Building Department recommends approval for this trailer to remain on site for approximately one year or until completion of the proposed building. Acceptance of Right-of-Way Deed - High Ridge Road The City Planner requests acceptance of this right-of-way deed since this dedication completes the City's efforts directed toward closing the gap that existed in High Ridge Road between Miner Road and N.W. 22nd Avenue. Approve cemetery transfer request for Lots 152, 153, 154, Block M Franklin A. and Florence N. Young request the approval of this transfer to Eva Mae Baker and Deloris Carter. Approval of Bills See list attached with one addition. Request for Construction Trailer - N. E. 10th Avenue This is requested in conjunction with the reconstruction of N. E. 10th Avenue from Seacrest Blvd. to U. S. 91 submitted by Nick Franzese, representing Shurly Contracting, Inc. Councilman deLong moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented by the City Manager with the additions that we were notified of by memo which will become part of the public record. Councilman Wright seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. - 12 - MINUTES . REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 BIDS NONE DEVELOPMENT PLANS Approve site development plans, submitted by DIC Commercial Construction Corp., to construct a 20,250 sq. ft. office/retail building plus ancillary parking and landscaping (Postponed from June 21, 1983 Meeting) Mr. Annunziato informed the Council this is a proposal for a 20,250 sq. ft. office/retail building to be located at U. S. 1 and S.E. 28th Circle. It provides for offices on the second story and retail outlets on th9 first story. It was reviewed by the technical staff, Planning & Zoning Board and Community Appearance Board and comes to the City Council with a positive recommendation. There were some minor recommendations which the applicant has agreed to comply with. The Planning & Zoning Board requested a traffic impact study and this has been submitted. The Planning & Zoning Board and City Council discussed whether there was proper or functional access to this property. The traffic study was reviewed and the staff concurs. This is the safest alternative for the location of the driveways. Councilman Cassandra referred to visiting the site and stated that he noticed the report did not address the con- dominium directly across the street and the traffic impact of those cars coming out and the traffic from 28th Circle. The applicant has changed his plans a few times to comply with staff requests to take the driveway off the main thoroughfare. The applicant was also forced to turn the building around. According to the ordinance, a driveway would be allowed on Federal Highway 180 feet from the corner with a 20 ft. wide driveway for two way traffic. However, the City Manager pointed out we had to be concerned about the radius for turning. He then explained the traffic flow in this area and considerations for turning. He is a little concerned whether we are creating another hazard to people using this building as proposed or would it be safer to go to U. S. 1 and turn it around? He is aware of the added cost factor to the applicant. He is ready to waive the fee for re-application. The impact is not just on U. S. 1, but crossing it. Mr. Annunziato informed him that there is a requirement for a 2~' landscaped area along the north pro- perty line which eliminates room for the driveway. - 13 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Councilman deLong referred to a cut being allowed on Federal Highway and Mr. Cassandra clarified that there have been variations with someone owning a piece of land not large enough and the City Engineer can give a variance. Mayor Warnke asked if the applicant was present and also questioned who owns the property. Mr. Michael Bende advised that he owns this property under Michael Properties and he is a New Jersey resident. Mr. Gene Moore, 639 East Ocean Avenue, advised that he represents the owner. Mr. Moore referred to there having been a full review and they have complied with everything in the ordinances. The issue of an additional curb cut was addressed and the pro- fessional people from the City are in total concurrence that this is not the proper traffic pattern for this development. The property does have 200 ft. frontage and there is 20 ft. on the north end, but this would not be a viable access with no curb cut coming across U. S. 1. He explained how the traffic could not flow smoothly from such a driveway. He understands the people behind this property have voiced opposition, but 28th Circle is a publicly dedicated street and these people have the right to use it. They incurred additional expense to have the traffic study made. He does not know what more his client can do to show they have complied with the ordinances. They have shown 28th Circle is the right location. Additional curb cuts would cause a hazard. In addition, there are statements throughout the minutes that the State Road Department has the final say and would not approve a curb cut in this close proximity to this intersection. Also, a median would be required in the dri- veway and it could not fit. He requests the Council to apply the ordinances. Mr. Moore advised that the traffic engineer is present and he has concluded this is basically an under-utilized roadway and can more than accommodate additional traffic from this development. He feels when they take into consideration the recommendations from city staff, additional expert advice which they submitted, and apply the ordinances as they exist, the City must go by the plan. He thinks 180 feet does make sense, but cannot practically be applied in this case. Mayor Warnke questioned why the stores didn't face north/south and Mr. Moore informed him the building was situated to comply with the ordinances; they did have a couple curb cuts on U. S. 1 and had the building north/south, but could not comply with the ordinances. - 14 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Mayor Warnke asked if there would be enough room for fire lanes and garbage pickup and Mr. Moore replied affirmatively as everything is complied with now. Vice Mayor Zimmerman referred to 28th Circle having a landscaped parkway in the center and asked what would happen to that and Mr. Moore replied there will be a cut through it to go in and out. Mr. Annunziato pointed out the median cut proposed in 28th Circle and advised the applicant will be required to restore the median to equal or better consistent with current requirements. Mr. Cassandra referred to there being sprinklers and electrical lines in the median and Mr. Moore informed him these will be put back in. Mr. Cassandra questioned the distance from Federal Highway to the first cut and Mr. Annunziato replied that he thinks it is about 130 feet. Mr. Moore added that he thinks it will be a mini- mum stack lane of six cars. Mr. Cassandra commented that it will be close to the entrance of Los Mangos. Vice Mayor Zimmerman stated at the last meeting, the owners and applicant did state they were not opposed to having an entrance at either place and were pretty much satisfied to having it on Federal Highway. Mr. Moore replied that he did not find this statement in the record. It did state they had changed the plans on various occasions at a great deal of expense to themselves and would like to have the plan approved now. The traffic engineer has stated that 28th Circle is the best and most feasible entrance. They have paid for this expert advice. Councilman Wright referred to there being quite a few con- dominium office buildings throughout the City with a lot of space not occupied and Mr. MooreJreplied that we have free American enterprise and it is zoned properly. Mayor Warnke clarified that the applicant's financial outlook is not our problem and it is not up to us to decide whether it is to be profitable° Mr. Bende added that they look for locations to serve the community, so they can rent locations to serve the community. There are 700 condominiums within this area and motels with no drug stores, no cleaners, no deli, etc. They will try to select the right tenants. Their bank was enthu- siastic about the location and reserved two bays. In this area, there are no convenience stores for anyone. He believes in free enterprise. They are not putting up another rundown motel of which there are a dozen in that area. They do not propose a gas station or ice cream stand. They propose to build a building according to regulations. They have revised their drawings several times and have - 15 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 spent more than $50,000 changing the building location. He is going to pay taxes and the people using the place will pay taxes. The people have a far distance to go to find a drug store for their needs. It will cut down on traffic as the people in Los Mangos can walk to the stores. He was totally appalled by the tone of their objections. Nobody can prevent him from using his land as long as he observes the law and ordinances. He has spent additional money for outside experts just to find they agree with the City's experts. Some people get to an age where they just disapprove ofchange. Councilman Wright asked if this plan is approved as sub- mitted, how can the traffic be rectified in that area and Mr. Annunziato stated if it is approved, the real problem is the left turn lane from the west approach, the movement out of Los Mangos northbound. That problem will be compounded somewhat, but there is no way around it. The only way to correct it would be with a traffic signal with turning move- ments. He does not think the Dept. of Transportation would approve a traffic signal at this location. Mr. Miles Moss, Professional Engineer, told about his experience in traffic engineering. Regarding locations of the driveways, providing service onto 28th Circle would be a safer access rather than onto U. S. 1. Vehicles on U. S. 1 would expect to find traffic at an intersection and not from driveways so close to an intersection. People from Los Mangos could enter this area safely without going onto U. S. 1. He then explained how a commercial development generates traffic in opposite directions from a residential develop- ment. In reference to a left turn from 28th Circle, he explained how this would be safer than coming out of a dri- veway and cutting over to make a U-turn. Also, the Dept. of Transportation must meet specific criteria when traffic signals are warranted and the traffic does not warrant it at this location. Mayor Warnke asked at what time of year the study was made and Mr. Moss replied during the month of June, but he used projections for peak situations. Councilman Cassandra asked if there is a higher ratio of accidents when coming in the same direction of traffic or when crossing the traffic flow and Mr. Moss explained how it would be much more hazardous to swerve across lanes of traf- fic to make a U-turn than to access U. S. 1 from a normal intersection and make a left turn. - 16 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Mr. Sam Scheiner, 528 S. E. 27th Terrace, stated he is a registered architect and resident of Los Mangos and has done a number of studies like this and thoroughly disagrees with a number of things stated by Mr. Moss and the comments made. They are not here to oppose this project, but request a restudy of the site plan. This site plan is unsafe to the shoppers and will create an additional dangerous entrance to Los Mangos. The entrance to Los Mangos at JoAl's is a dangerous intersection. By adding another one at 28th Circle, it is wrong and unfair. He requests the Council not to add to their misfortune. Mr. Scheiner then stated that he questions the accuracy of the survey and explained how the width of the paving on 28th Circle varies. Mr. Scheiner then stated that the traffic impact review was taken when approximately 1/3 of the Los Mangos residents were away for the summer. Colonial Club is directly oppo- site 28th Circle with 504 units. The traffic report indica- tes only two trips from Colonial Club during morning hours will cross Federal Highway and eight trips in the afternoon and evening. Los Mangos has 188 units and the figure is 14 trips to go into the shopping center. This seems to be wrong. The majority of the people from Los Mangos travel north to shopping areas and make the left turn across Federal Highway. With this plan, people will be coming from the shopping center turning north with people coming into the shopping center, plus people trying to get into Colonial Club. It will be a terrible traffic situation at all times. Also, this center's sign will be on the southeast corner of the site which will be 35 feet from the Los Mangos sign, which will also be confusing. Will they have a Federal Highway addrgss or 28th Circle? He thinks it is unfair to a developer to put up a building of this type and have to use a 28th Circle address when fronting on Federal Highway. Mr. Scheiner continued that having an entrance and exit on 28th Circle will create dangerous and congesting conditions. It will be difficult for trucks to make the turn into the parking area especially if cars are exiting at the same time. Also, they must travel through the parking area to get to the building. He explained how garbage trucks would have difficulty maneuvering. He has noticed similar con- ditions were created at Yachtsman's Plaza and there is a curb cut 150 feet from the intersection. He proposes this plan should be returned for restudy and a curb cut be placed on Federal Highway with direct access to the fire lane for - 17 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 emergency vehicles and not go through the parking field as shown. Mr. Moore referred to Mr. Scheiner's exception to the survey and stated the plan is predicated on an accurate survey. With regard to traffic flow, he submits that these plans were drawn after many hours of negotiations with the Police Chief, Fire Chief and Director of Public Services. Nobody has explained how to get around the 180 ft. requirement. This is the best plan to use the property as it is zoned and comply with the ordinances. Councilman deLong requested legal guidance from the City Attorney and Mr. Vance stated based upon the presentation which has been made and the City ordinances, there is no legal basis for turning down this site plan. Mr. Scheiner asked why 150 feet was approved at Yachtsman's Plaza and Mr. Annunziato informed him that the applicant secured a variance. Mr. Cheney stated that the City must consider the safest access point. The property owner owns the corner lot. The property is on two public streets and the owner has the right to those public streets. This has been reviewed by the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments. It would be a problem for a garbage truck to come out onto Federal Highway into three lanes of traffic; coming out onto 28th Circle is a safer situation. If fire trucks have to go there, they will not have a problem getting a hose to the building. He explained how Sunshine Square could have a protected entrance with it being a large parking lot. The owner has paid money for a corner lot and he has reasonable rights to use the two public streets. Mayor Warnke stated that he is sympathetic with the people in Los Mangos and can see their position. However, we are in a position where Los Mangos can dispute it if we pass it and the owner can dispute it if we turn it down. Mr. Scheiner stated that if it is dangerous to have a curb cut on 28th Circle, it should not be approved. Mayor Warnke clarified that as he indicated, he is in agreement with their position, but we are under an obligation legally according to the ordinances to approve it. Mr. Annunziato added that the Building Official has sub- mitted comments. - 18 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Councilman Cassandra stated that he gathers by Mr. Moore's presentation that the applicant is not open to any variance requirements or getting along with the Los Mangos residents and Mr. Moore replied this was correct. Mr. Cassandra stated before making a motion, he would like the record to show that he would hope Mr. Moore said the applicants are willing to meet and work with the Los Mangos people since the owner said he is concerned and wants their business. Mr. Angelo Pantalone, 2832 S. E. 5th Circle, stated in reference to shopping, they are not against shopping going in there. He would just remind the owner that it is only about a ten minute walk to Sunshine Square and a 20 minute walk to Gulfstream Shopping Center and not three to four miles to shopping. There is a convenience store on 23rd Avenue. They do not have a long distance to go to shopping. Mayor Warnke stated the only question is the legality of approving the site plan. Aesthetics, profitability, con- venience, etc. is not before the Council. Whether we like it or dislike it, we must abide by City ordinances. Mayor Warnke then read the following staff comments con- nected with this plan: 1. Board of Health permit will be required. 2. Overhang on the east and west end of buildings encroach setbacks. 3. Rear overhang scales to encroach property to the north. 4. Protective buffer wall requires 2 ft. setback from the west property line, plan denotes 1 ft. Councilman Cassandra commented that he feels the applicant is making a mistake and should deal with the people in Los Mangos. He does have the highest respect for Mr. Scheiner, but does not think we can go against our ordinance. Mr. Cassandra moved to grant this site development plan with all staff comments based upon our legal advice and based upon all the advice from City departments and the Technical Review Board. Councilman Wright seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Wright remarked that there comes a time when you are confused about decisions, but he feels we would be liable if we do not allow this man to do what is planned. He feels the developer has worked with the City staff. It seems we will have problems regardless, but he thinks we should go with the way the City will not be sued. As requested, Mrs. Boroni then took a roll call vote on the motion as follows: - 19 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Councilman Cassandra - Aye Councilman deLong - No and to qualify his vote, he stated that he does not believe these people should walk away from this without trying to recon- cile their differ- ences with the people who live there. He feels the people have a legitimate com- plaint and he is with the people. Councilman Wright - Aye Mayor Warnke - Yes as he cannot put his heart against legalities; he must go with the motion legally. Vice Mayor Zimmerman - No Motion carried 3-2. Approve request for retroactive extension of zoning sub- mitted by Charles McKirahan, Jr., for a 7 acre tract of land located on the west side of Congress between LWDD Canal #26 and the proposed extension of S.W. Congress Blvd. Mr. Cheney informed the Council that the recommendation is this be approved. Councilman deLong so moved, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman. Under discussion, Councilman Cassandra asked when the comprehensive plan is going to be redone and Mr. Annunziato replied that he is planning this for next year's budget. Motion carried 5-0. Approve three month extension for filing fee for final plat approval - Sky Lake Plat No. 2 Mr. deLong moved for approval with the City Engineer's memo of June 27, 1983, being a matter of public record. Vice Mayor Zimmerman seconded the motion. No discussion.

Councilman deLong moved the adoption of Resolution No. 83-QQ, seconded by Councilman Cassandra. Under discussion, Councilman Wright commented that he thinks it would be more meaningful if Councilman deLong would attend one of the meetings and take this resolution with him.

Other Acceptance of Deed for Girl Scout Park Mayor Warnke referred to it including "open to all residents of Palm Beach County" and asked if the City Manager was com- - 22 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 fortable with that and Mr. Cheney replied that he raised the question in a past memo, but it is a matter of principle. The recommendation is to accept the deed. Most people in the County will not be able to find the park. We have not had County people using the park. It is relatively standard to include this clause when the County turns over land to an organization since it originally came out of County funds. He doesn't think it matters that much. The recommendation is to accept it with that restriction. He thinks it would cause more problems and concerns if we fight it over an issue which is not that important. Councilman deLong moved to accept the deed, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. License Agreement - Industrial Waste Services Councilman deLong moved to accept the recommendation of the City Manager and approve this agreement, seconded by Councilman Cassandra. Under discussion, Mayor Warnke questioned what "roll-off container service" is and Mr. Cheney informed him these are huge bins which roll off flat bed trucks. These are usually located behind shopping cen- ters and construction sites. He added that we are trying to limit these operations in the City because we don't want them to come in and take away the gravy, but we will give limited licenses in areas where we are not prepared to serve. This is just during the construction periOd and not permanently. Motion carried 5-0. OLD BUSINESS New Election Procedures Councilman Cassandra stated he was hoping the Council mem- bers would put some time and effort into considering his suggestions and make recommendations of their own. As they are probably aware, the County has approved a new election procedure that the municipalities will follow if they agree. There are about seven sections which are involved covering the filing of papers and fee and when you are required to file these. He sees nothing wrong in following their recom- mendation in this area. Section 3 recommends the second Tuesday in March and that is no problem. Section 4 states when a run-off should be held, Section 5 calls out when an officer takes his seat, Section 6 does not pertain to us, Section 7 does not apply, and Section 8 says if we agree to go along with this, we do not need a referendum to amend our - 23 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Charter and all that would be required would be an ordi- nance. He sees nothing wrong if Boynton Beach goes along with this election law. He would like to recommend that the Council consider this as our first step in changing our election laws. Councilman deLong suggested turning this over to the City Attorney because there are six items which must be by referendum and we must be advised whether this would super- sede House Bill 1020. Mr. Vance replied that it appears this act would supersede the individual City Charter and County with respect to election date and related items. Councilman deLong moved that before making recommendations, the City Attorney look this over insofar as any conflicts. Vice Mayor Zimmerman seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Cassandra advised that this has already been approved whether we agree or disagree with it. Mr. deLong suggested that Mr. Cassandra supply the Council members with copies of changes he feels would be beneficial so we can study them. Mr. Zimmerman then withdrew his second and Mr. deLong withdrew his motion. Councilman Cassandra stated he made a presentation a month ago about the areas of the primaries, unopposed candidate, City-wide vs. districting. He asked the Council members to review these recommendations and now he is being asked to repeat the same recommendations. Mr. deLong disagreed and clarified that the Council members just wanted a copy so they could make a study. Mr. Cassandra commented that it seemed like he just wanted to put it off another two weeks and Mr. deLong replied that there isn't an election until next March. Councilman Wright stated he would like a workshop meeting for discussion of this matter. After discussion, it was agreed to hold a workshop meeting to discuss the election procedures on Wednesday, July 13, at 7:30 P. M. NEW BUSINESS A~nrove West Ocean Avenue Drainage Report - French Drain Construction (Postponed from June 21, 1983 Meeting) Mayor Warnke advised that he has had some input on Ocean Avenue strongly opposed to swales. Councilman Cassandra stated that he went there on Friday and it rained and it was very dangerous. He is in agreement with the City Engineer - 24 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 and City Manager that swales would be the way to go; however, in this particular area, they have curbs and shrub- bery. Mr. Cassandra moved that for this particular area, we go with the french drain construction as opposed to swales leaving the citizens with their curbs. Councilman deLong seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Warnke added that the people are very much in favor of french drains. Motion carried 5-0. Use of funds from Small Business Administration and Recreational Area Development Program Mr. Cheney informed the Council that he received a letter indicating that we have been awarded $11,891 of Small Business Administration Funds for park and recreational area development. He suggested a list of possible projects, which are being considered part of next year's budget. He suggested that possibly the Federal Highway median might be one. He received a proposed contract today that we would have to sign. Having reviewed the contract, he is asking for two or three priorities. The reason he suggested Federal Highway is because it relates to the redevelopment area. People have wanted the main street to look better. However, the Council may feel other projects are more appropriate. Councilman deLong moved to accept the City Manager's recom- mendation for use of funds from the Small Business Administration Parks and Recreational Area Development Program per his memo dated July 5, 1983. Councilman Wright seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Zimmerman requested that the second priority be added to be 1-95 and Boynton Beach Boulevard if the first priority is not accepted and Mr. deLong agreed to include in his motion. Under discussion, the various projects were discussed and it was decided the medians on Federal Highway should be the first priority with both 1-95 intersections being the second priority. Councilman Wright referred to needing a crew of three people and Mr. Cheney disagreed as we will just hire some people from a contractor to get this installed. According to the contract, it says the contractor must use as his employees people currently unemployed and not receiving workmen's com- pensation and we must work this out. We will do the best we can. Motion carried 5-0. - 25 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA Dredging by Gulfstream JULY 5,' 1983 Mayor Warnke referred to distributing a letter from the Army Corps of Engineers and advised the City of Gulfstream is going to dredge out nine canals and put all the spoil east of the Gulfstream Shopping Center as a spoil to provide better access along the Intracoastal for the residents of Gulfstream. He just wanted the Council to be aware of this. There will be a hearing and possibly they may want to make recommendations. He just brought this to their attention as a matter of information. Amtrak Speed on the Seaboard Railroad Vice Mayor Zimmerman referred to the item of speed being changed for Amtrak on the Seaboard Railroad being in the newspapers and advised that it does not come to a head until July 13 when there is a meeting at the County courthouse. He thinks it might be appropriate if the Council appointed someone to attend that meeting. They are recommending the speed be changed to about 80 mph through the City. Probably what we have at 35 mph is slow with no grade crossings. We should know what Amtrak is trying to do. Mayor Warnke referred to attending an Executive Board Meeting of the Municipal League this morning and told about them working towards a bullet train coming down. Officials took the train at 84 mph. The Municipal League plans t° pass a resolution requiring any input regarding an increase in speed that department officials meet with the Municipal League before any action is taken and secure approval from the municipalities. It would not affect Boynton Beach too much. There will be stops in Delray Beach and West Palm Beach. He does not see how it could reach 80 mph between Delray Beach and West Palm Beach. The Municipal League will be on top of it. The current speed limit ranges from 20 to 60 mph. He thinks it can be left with the Municipal League. Mr. Cheney informed them that officially, we have received a notice of hearing on July 13 and possibly we should have someone there. It will be held at three o'clock. Vice Mayor Zimmerman volunteered to attend and Mayor Warnke ~added that he may be able to go also. Mr. Zimmerman added that he thinks some cities have gone on record against the speed. - 26 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 ADMINISTRATIVE Consider appointing two alternate members to Boynton Beach Housing Authority (Tabled) Mr. deLong moved to take this question from the table. Cassandra seconded and the motion carried 5-0. Mr. Mr. deLong moved to open nominations, seconded by Mr. Wright. Mayor Warnke stated that he talked to the people on the Housing Authority today and they feel it is not a dead issue and would like to continue for a couple more months and find out if they are a viable organization. He then nominated Sarah Williams and Ben Uleck. Mr. deLong moved that nominations be closed, seconded by Mr. Cassandra. Motion carried unanimously appointing Ms. Sarah Williams and Mr. Ben Uleck as alternate members to the Boynton Beach Housing Authority. Mr. deLong requested the City Attorney to look over the setup because there is some question whether this will be coming under County jurisdiction and whether we must have a Housing Authority. Mayor Warnke informed him that the Housing Au%hority is appointed by the City and Council under State Statqte. Mr. Cheney added that he did submit a report. M~. Vance advised that it is a legal entity. Mr. de~ong asked if we are obligated to have a Housing Authority ~nd Mr. Wright replied that the housing assistance plan is in force. Mr. Cheney added that we do not have to have one, but there as role for one. He will submit a copy of his report again. Mayor Warnke clarified that the question is whether the Housing Authority should continue and Mr. Cheney replied there is a role for them. Mayor Warnke stated at the present time, we will keep it going. Career Development and Training for City Employees Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved to accept this report and study for discussion at the next meeting since it was just received. Councilman Cassandra seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Improvement to Public Address System in Civic Center Mr. Cheney advised this is an opportunity which came along unexpectedly and we have talked about this for some time. The report indicates that it is more of a system than we would probably buy. He will acknowledge that it is somewhat of a risk, but it is valid with hopefully getting a good system at a very good price. He thinks we should take advantage of it. Mr. deLong asked if funds are available and Mr. Cheney replied affirmatively, out of General Revenue Sharing. - 27 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 5, 1983 Mr. deLong moved for the approval of this public address system at the Civic Center, seconded by Councilman Cassandra. Under discussion, Mayor Warnke commented that he did check on some of these prices and this is a good bargain. Motion carried 5-0. OTHER Councilman deLong stated he would like to answer Councilman Wright's remark about a gymnasium and stated we did try to get a gymnasium about 1973 for the fighters, but it was turned down because they didn't think they could use taxpayers' funds for fighters to train. It was never built in that section for that reason. ADJOURNMENT Mr. deLong moved to adjourn, seconded by vice Mayor Zimmerman. Motion carried 5-0 and the meeting was properly adjourned at 10:25 P. M.
