CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Cheney referred to this being the third year for the
G.A.L.A. and stated the people didn't just do a good job,
but showed expertise in a quality effort with being well
organized. He then commended the various departments and
people involved.
Mr. Cheney announced that today we received word that the
Governor's committee approved the $212,000 grant from the
state for the boat ramp park. This is a high percentage of
what we applied for. We will take this money and combine it
with additional money and put together the project
discussed. The next step is to select a consultant to do
the final design work and he explained to meet various stan-
dards.
Mr. Cheney reported the annual auction raised $2,798 last
week.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Mayor Warnke recognized the presence of Ms. Janet Olin in
the audience, representing Representative Frank Messersmith.
Mayor Warnke announced that anyone wishing to speak on any
item not on the agenda may come forward at this time. He
added if there is an item on the agenda someone wishes to
speak on, they may give their name to the City Clerk to be
called upon at that time.
Chanteclair Villas Sign
Mrs. Dorothy Cox, Board of Directors for Chanteclair Villas,
told about having a sign installed on Charter Drive last
November. In February, they received communications from
Mr. Bert Keehr and Mrs. Dorothy Moore advising they are in
violation with not having obtained a permit, not submitting a
site plan, etc. She explained how they had entered a
contract with Rainbow Signs and thought this had all been
taken care of. They request some relief from this problem.
They also understand there is a $200 fee to be paid, which
they knew nothing about, and request the Council to consider
waiving the fee and allowing the sign to stay.
Mayor Warnke replied at the present time, he would like to
defer this to the City Attorney. He feels this is a civil
matter between Chanteclair Villas and the sign company. He
does not believe this is within the Council's realm.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
Councilman deLong referred to the sign company having com-
mitted a violation of the city ordinances and stated he
understands the Building Department has notified the company
about this.
Mr. deLong moved that the fee be waived and absolve these
people, seconded by Mr. Cassandra. Under discussion, Mr.
deLong added that it is an attractive sign and the Building
Department is satisfied with the installation. Mayor Warnke
requested an opinion from the City Attorney on this action
and Mr. Vance replied that he has a total lack of factual
information on this. Mr. deLong stated it would appear the
city Council has jurisdiction on a case like this.
Mayor Warnke asked if the City Manager cared to comment and
Mr. Cheney advised there are two issues to be considered,
one is the fee and the other is the provisions of the ordi-
nance. The ordinance was amended to include special signs
of this kind in public rights-of-way, but they should be
approved by the City Council after a recommendation from the
Planning & Zoning Board, Technical Review Board and
Community Appearance Board. After that, the applicant would
enter a license agreement stating the terms and condition of
the sign. None of this has happened.
Mr. deLong referred to the sign being erected and inspected
by the Building Department and being found to be satisfac-
tory and Mr. Cheney explained that the board approval pro-
cess had not taken place. He added that several weeks ago,
a request was made to waive a permit fee and this could not
be done.
Mr. Vance advised because we have specific ordinance
requirements which must be met, he thinks those should be
processed even if after the fact. If there is a reasonable
possibility of obtaining the fee from Rainbow Signs, it
should be pursued. If the fee is waived, it would be waived
for everybody and we would be unable to get it from Rainbow
Signs. He thinks this should be delayed until a deter-
mination is made under the ordinance, even though after the
fact. The opportunity should be left open to get the fee
out of Rainbow Signs.
Councilman Cassandra then withdrew his second and Councilman
deLong withdreW the motion.
Mrs. Cox informed the Council that the Building Department
sent a letter to Rainbow Signs asking them to take the sign
down. Mr. Cassandra requested the City Manager to notify
- 4 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, '1984
the Building Department to withhold judication on this.
Cheney replied that we will not take the sign down.
Mr.
Councilman Cassandra recommended to Chanteclair Villas to go
through the regular board procedure, so there is no problem
next month. If this process creates a problem, then it
would be appropriate to come to the Council and request
relief. Mr. deLong referred to a fee being required to go
through this procedure and Mr. Cheney suggested the fee be
obtained from Rainbow Signs. Mr. deLong suggested that the
fee be delayed.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman asked if Rainbow Signs had been paid
and Mrs. Cox replied they had paid the bill in full.
Councilman deLong made a motion for this to proceed through
the regular channels without payment of the fee at the pre-
sent time, but with the fee being delayed. Councilman
Cassandra seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor
Warnke clarified that we are saying we will try to get the
fee from the sign company and if not, Chanteclair Villas may
be liable. Motion carried 5-0.
At this time, Mr. deLong moved to suspend the regular order
of business and move to the Public Hearing. Mr. Wright
seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARING
Special Assessment Hearing for S.E. 3rd Street North of S.E.
21st Avenue
Mayor Warnke announced that he will pass the gavel to Vice
Mayor Zimmerman and will abstain from any discussion or
voting on this question because it involves money and his
daughter's mother-in-law.
Mr. Cheney stated in September, this issue came up relative
to a project being planned by Mr. John Pagliarulo. The
Council discussed the problem of access and suggested having
this road built by a special assessment project. This
public hearing gives the property owners,where a special
assessment is proposed, the opportunity to come in and speak
on this matter.
Mrs. Lillian Mayhew told about the conditions with living
there for 35 years and stated now, this man wants to
construct apartments and she and Mrs. Enish are supposed to
finance this road. This road will not benefit her. She
- 5 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
referred to there being no need for this road and pointed
out on a map how the present access was sufficient. She
stressed that she will not benefit from this road. She
feels it is unjust to be assessed for this.
Councilman deLong referred to this being recommended by the
staff and Mr. Cheney agreed this was correct and explained
that Mr. Pagliarulo agreed to build S. E. 20th Court and it
was pointed out that public access was needed for emergency
vehicles through a loop on public streets. It was agreed at
that time to build this street by special assessment. Mr.
deLong asked who made the recommendation and Mr. Cheney
replied that it developed through the Technical Review Board
process and recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board.
Mrs. Mayhew asked why Mr. Pagliarulo didn't go ahead with
the balance since he will benefit. Mr. Cassandra informed
her that when Mr. Pagliarulo applied with plans to build
Sunny Oaks Apartments, he was told by the city there was a
dedicated road running alongside the property and it was
felt for proper fire and police service that road should be
built. The applicant argued he did not want the road
because his driveway would service Sunny Oaks. Mr.
Pagliarulo presented the same argument that it would not
benefit his project, but agreed to pay 50% of the cost.
Mrs. Mayhew questioned the reason why they could not be ser-
viced by the fire and police departments and Mr. Cassandra
requested the Director of Planning to respond. Mr.
Annunziato stated there were three reasons for the connector
road. He explained there was concern for access to the high
density property Mr. Pagliarulo planned, construction of 3rd
Street was required by the comprehensive plan, and the
Technical Review Board recommended constructing the road for
good and sufficient access.
Mrs. Mayhew continued to object and Mr. Cassandra replied
that he understood her problem and clarified that the appli-
cant also did not want the road.
Mrs. Mayhew stated this road was designated many years ago
and given to the city and she believes the city should
construct it. If it is to the builder's benefit, then he
should build it. It is of no benefit to her or Mrs. Enish.
Further, the law says she must have the right to enjoy her
land and she cannot use it with the road.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman stated he doesn't think the city has
the responsibility to build this road, but requested an opi-
- 6 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
nion from the City Attorney. Mr. Vance advised the city has
the ability to either construct the road depending upon
available funds or use the special assessment approach and
require the abutting property owners to pay.
Councilman Wright questioned the possibility of the deve-
loper paying the entire cost and Mr. Vance replied that with
the approval of the site plan, the decision was made for him
not to assume the entire cost. He added that with respect
to benefit, the law states paving the road adjacent to the
property increases the value of the property and Mrs. Mayhew
responded that it also increases her taxes. Mr. Vance con-
tinued that under applicable case law, it is of benefit to
the property and it does fall within the special assessment
which the city can utilize.
Mrs. Mayhew asked if it required approval of 50% of the pro-
perty owners and Mr. Vance replied that hetdidn't think so.
Mrs. Mayhew stated she feels it is unfair to be assessed for
the benefit of the contractor.
Mrs. Thelma Enish came before the Council and asked how it
would benefit her and Councilman deLong replied that recom-
mendations were submitted by the Technical Review Board and
the question is whether to uphold their recommendations
which we have voted for or listen to the people entering
complaints and rescind the previous action. Vice Mayor
Zimmerman clarified that a resolution has been passed
approving the special assessment in relation to the whole
development and that stands unless the Council takes further
action. He asked if Mrs. Enish had anything further to add.
Mrs. Enish stated she feels the road is being put in because
of the condominiums and has nothing to do with Mrs. Mayhew
or her. She will never use that road.
Mr. John Pagliarulo stated when his site plan was approved,
he was against having this road put in. He felt he had pro-
vided adequate access. He modified the plan to allow vehi-
cular traffic to circulate within the area as well as in any
commercial property. This recommendation for the road was
made to enhance the traffic flow within the area and not
specifically for the eight units. There are roads paved
throughout the city that everyone pays for. He has to come
up with an excessive amount of money to pay for this. This
road was dedicated some thirty years ago which the city felt
they did not need and now, they feel they do. If the city
has the funds, he would like them to put it in. However, if
the city is not participating at all, he will pay his share
to take off some of the burden.

MARCH 6, 1984
Mr. Zimmerman questioned what amount he was contributing to
this road and Mr. Pagliarulo replied $4,500 plus 20th Court.
Mr. Zimmerman stated this was about equal to the joint
amount of the other two. Mr. Cassandra clarified that the
assessment for Mr. Pagliarulo is $4,500 and the 6ther resi-
dents each pay $2,250. Mr. Cheney added this is based on
front footage.
Mr. Wright asked if possibly Mr. Pagliarulo could come up
with the other $4,000 to put this road in and Mr. Pagliarulo
replied such a request would put him on a spot. He thinks
the city has more revenue than he does with collecting money
from all the taxpayers. Mr. Wright asked if he was saying
he would pay $4,500 and the city should pay the rest of it
and Mr. Pagliarulo replied that he has agreed to contribute
his 50% of the costs. Mr. Wright stated the Technical
Review Board recommended the road and clarified that Mr.
Pagliarulo didn't think it was needed and Mr. Pagliarulo
agreed as he felt his site plan was adequate to cover the
traffic and he has no use of the road.
Mr. Wright asked if what was voted on could be rescinded and
the plan could be built without the road and Mr. Vance
replied that the Council could do that.
Mr. Cheney stated he would like to speak against the prin-
ciple of building eight units on private property without
access rights for public vehicles. He thinks the issue is
how to pay for it and not whether the road should go in. He
can see problems when 20th Court is extended to eight units
and there is nowhere to go. People will go through the pri-
vate parking lot to go out on 21st Avenue.
Mrs. Mayhew stated that emergency vehicles have no problem.
There is a fire hydrant on her property. There is no need
for the road as there is access.
Councilman Wright stated after listening to both residents,
he is of the opinion they should not be charged for their
portion of this street. If Mr. Pagliarulo is willing to pay
$4,500, he should, and we should pay the balance.
Councilman deLong stated the staff made a recommendation and
we must decide whether to move ahead or not. We must decide
whether to support the staff or the people. Mr. Zimmerman
added that he feels this is a solid recommendation from the
staff.
Councilman Cassandra referred to the cost being larger with.
only two homes abutting the street, but questioned if a pre-
- 8 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
cedent would be set with people not being assessed. He does
not always agree with the staff, but we do have a comprehen-
sive plan which we have tried to honor and there is concern
that eventually this street will go to the shopping center.
The extension of this road must be considered for the
future. He would have to concur with the Technical Review
Board for the need of this particular road. He does not
feel any private owner should have vehicles coming through
their property.
Councilman Wright clarified that the Technical Review Board
made the recommendation that the road is needed and the
problem is having the residents share the cost. The street
has not been needed all this time, but is now needed for
these eight units, so he feels Mr. Pagliarulo should pay the
entire $9,000 cost.
After discussion, Mr. Vance suggested a motion should be
made to approve the advisability of making improvements, the
cost thereof, matter of payment and the amount to be
assessed. Mr.~ Cassandra referred to the method of payment
being spread over many years and Mr. Vance stated as of
right now, they have a choice of payment with paying it
within 90 days without interest or in ten semi-annual
installments with 8% interest. He added that the number of
years or amount of interest could be modified. Mr.
Cassandra stated he would like to see not so much of a bur-
den put on these two owners and suggested decreasing the
yearly amount by half and Mr. Vance agreed this could be
done with payments to be made over a ten year period. Mr.
Cassandra clarified this would be about $250 per year or
approximately $20 per month and suggested it be amended to
this. Mr. Cheney stated that an amendment will be prepared
to Resolution No. 84-H and presented to the Council to see
if they are in agreement.
Mr. Cassandra moved to amend to his suggested amount,
seconded by Mr. deLong. Vice Mayor Zimmerman clarified it
was moved and seconded to amend this resolution and act on
it at a later date. Motion carried 3-1 with Mr. Wright
dissenting and Mayor Warnke abstaining.
Mr. Cassandra moved to revert back to the normal order of
business, seconded by Mr. Zimmerman. Motion carried 5-0.

Councilman deLong seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
A-1
Bids - Repainting of the Vactor Jet Rodder - Utilities
and Repainting of Fire Department Vehicle #1 -
Fire Department
The Tabulation Committee recommends awarding the bid to
Advanced Fabricators in the amount of $1,495 for the vactor
and $7,800 for the fire truck.
Mayor Warnke stated he removed this from the Consent Agenda
because this bid is about $8,000 to paint a Fire Department
vehicle. He told about personally inspecting this vehicle
and advised his personal feeling is that it only needs new
lettering put on the doors. He feels the vehicle is in
excellent condition as far as the paint job is concerned.
He does not feel he can vote favorably for $8,000 to paint
it. Mr. deLong added that he would like to find out what
kind of paint they are going to use for $8,000.
Mr. Cheney advised this is being recommended mainly to pre-
serve the truck and requested Chief Rhoden to comment
further. Chief Rhoden informed the Council this truck is a
1971 model. Through the years, it has deteriorated to where
there is rust coming through one of the compartments from a
leak in the water tank. There is also some body work to be
done. The paint is chipped. He felt it should be painted
entirely. This bid also covers the mechanical work as well
as painting. Mayor Warnke replied the only place he could
see any damage was a scrape on the front fender. Mr. Cheney
added even if the vehicle looks good, it is outdoors in the
sun. This is one of three major pumpers. This is also for
preventative maintenance. It could wait until next year or
the year after, but it seems like a reasonable time to do a
preventative paint job since the truck is twelve years old.
Mr. deLong asked if it is special paint and Chief Rhoden
replied affirmatively. Mr. deLong asked if it is necessary
at this time and Mr. Cheney replied that it is not
necessary, but desirable. Mr. Wright commented that this is
a large piece of equipment and he does not think they are
asking too much money.

Councilman deLong moved to accept the recommendation and go
ahead and have this truck put into first class order,
seconded by Councilman Cassandra. Under discussion,
Councilman Wright asked if this was budgeted and Mr. Cheney
replied there is a special account for this. Mayor Warnke
stated in the budget vehicle reserve account, it looked like
we did not have enough left and Mr. Cheney pointed out where
it was included. Motion carried 5-0.
Ee
Approve Change Order No. 2 for 72 Trees - Boynton
Beach Oceanfront Park
Mayor Warnke stated at a cost of $430 per tree, he felt the
Community Appearance Board should go over this before being
submitted to the City Council for approval. Councilman
deLong agreed the Community Appearance Board should review
this first. Vice Mayor Zimmerman explained how this was a
special situation since this is located in Ocean Ridge. Mr.
deLong referred to having an established policy with
Community Appearance Board approval and Mr. Cheney clarified
that every time a project is done in the city, it goes to
the Community Appearance Board first, but it didn't on this
because of being in Ocean Ridge. An architect firm is doing
this plan, but it can still go to the Community Appearance
Board.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved to refer this matter of the
change order for 72 trees for the Boynton Beach Oceanfront
Park to the Community Appearance Board and then to the Town
of Ocean Ridge for approval. Councilman Cassandra seconded
the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0.
BIDS
Trap Sand for Municipal Golf Course
Mr. Joe Sciortino appeared before the Council and referred
to bids being opened yesterday and advised that originally
only one response was received six weeks ago. During the
interim, they have been preparing the traps for sand and now
have three bids. They are ready to go. They would like to
get started so the preparation work doesn't have to be
redone.
Mr. deLong moved to accept the recommendation of the
Tabulation Committee recommending awarding the bid to W. W.
Googe Trucking, Inc. in the amount of $9.50 per ton. Mr.
Cassandra seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.

Mayor Warnke asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of
proposed Ordinance No. 84-12 and received no response. He
asked if anyone wanted to speak in opposition.
Mr. Carl Ashler, part owner of European Designer Jewelry,
advised that he sells jewelry from the Holiday Inn. He
realizes as the ordinance stands they are not affected
because they sell from the banquet room. He referred to
having been a resident in Florida for over 34 years and told
about the company's reputation and advised they have a local
office in Lake Worth. He is opposed to the ordinance
because it seems like a foot in the door as the next step
may be to eliminate them altogether. Councilman deLong
responded that this does not prohibit them from operating
out of the banquet room, but has control over other places
without a meeting room. Mayor Warnke added that it is
directed to fly-by-night companies rather than an organiza-
tion such as he represents.
Councilman deLong moved adoption of proposed Ordinance No.
84-12 on second and final reading, seconded by Vice Mayor
Zimmerman. No discussion. Mrs. Boroni took a roll call

Mayor Warnke asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of
proposed Ordinance No. 84-14 and received no response. He
asked if anyone desired to speak in opposition.
Mr. George Webb, Kimley-Horn Associates, came forward and
advised he has been retained by the hospital to discuss this
with the Council and present facts on parking requirements
at Bethesda Memorial Hospital and at similar institutions
throughout the southeast. The hospital has recognized defi-
ciencies in parking in 1972 and included space requirements
for future hospital expansion. Their recommendation was 2.3
parking spaces per bed which was in excess of the 2.0
required by the city. Even with the 2.5 originally pro-
posed, it would be more than sufficient to accommodate the
staff and future parking at the hospital.
Mr. Cassandra noted the requirements of neighboring cities,
all being higher than 2.5. He then referred to Mr.
Annunziato's research and read from his memo dated February
29, 1984. He again read the requirements of cities in the
area and pointed out they are higher and disagree with the
report from Kimley-Horn and he also disagrees with Mr.
Annunziato.
Mr. Cassandra stated that he believes beds per parking spa-
ces is a guideline and minimum requirement. The hospital
could increase with 50 beds, but still have the same staff.
Out-patient services may have no beds, but require parking
spaces.
Mr. Cassandra stated he finds this report presented by
Whitlock is excellent and deals with hospitals today. He
then read excerpts from this report. He referred to charts
included and explained how accordingly, Bethesda Memorial
Hospital has a need of 1,275 parking spaces. This breaks
down to 3.5 to 3.7 based on this ratio. He believes we
should do this right and guarantee there are spaces and
believes 4 is a good recommendation. He further explained
how 2.0 or 2.5 would not be adequate to meet the needs, but
stated he would consider 3.0 or 3.5.
Councilman deLong asked if it was his intention to amend the
ordinance and Councilman Cassandra replied affirmatively,
other than 4.0 but doesn't believe 2.5 is accurate.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
Councilman Wright clarified that he is not in favor of the
City Planner's recommendation and Mr. Cassandra replied
negatively.
Mr. Zimmerman disregarded other hospitals and questioned the
city's requirements and Mr. Cassandra agreed that we should
be concerned about Bethesda Memorial Hospital and Boynton
Beach. Mr. Cassandra added that he has not been a believer
they need all this parking space, but believes we should do
things right. This report backs up his presentation that
peak parking and shift changes do create problems. They
further discussed the number of doctors on staff and volun-
teers at Bethesda Memorial Hospital.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman questioned the requirement of neigh-
boring cities and Mr. Annunziato replied that he thinks in
Boca Raton, it was one parking space for two beds, one
parking space for each doctor and nurse, and one parking
space for each two employees. The problem with predicating
parking upon employees, nurses or doctors is that the city
has no control over those numbers.
Mr. Webb commented that Councilman Cassandra did a fine job
and the report does show the range on a per bed basis. From
2.0 to 2.5 is the general range. They can go higher and
they do in some areas. He does have a list of about eight
surrounding agencies including one requiring one space per
bed in Lake Worth. They have conducted a study specifically
with Bethesda Memorial Hospital and came up with the number
of existing parking spaces, demands at certain times, and
the study determined there was a lack of approximately 110
spaces out of a 350 bed facility with 700 existing parking
spaces. With a deficiency of 100 parking spaces, it goes
back to 2.3 to 2.4 per bed on actual measured deficiency in
1982.
Mr. Cassandra referred to changing the comprehensive plan to
accommodate the parking need at Bethesda Memorial Hospital
and clarified that the need was 772 parking spaces and not
110. Mr. Webb clarified that 100 spaces were measured in
1982 when it was projected to 450 beds and that is where the
additional number came in.
Mr. Cassandra explained the numbers he used in figures 9 and
10 and stated that it came out to 1,225 parking spaces and
he is concerned about 2.5.
Mayor Warnke asked who brought up this change in the first
place and Mr. Annunziato replied that he recommended it and
- 18 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
Mr. Cheney added that it was brought up by the Planning &
Zoning Board. Mayor Warnke asked if the requirements were
increased to 4.0, what effect would it have on future hospi-
tal expansion and Mr. Hill replied there would not be any.
Mr. Webb pointed out that Mr. Cassandra had used the total
number of volunteers when figuring and instead of a total of
500, it should be 50, which would be the number at peak
times. Mr. Cassandra agreed and calculated this would bring
the figure down to 3.2 to 3.6.
Mayor Warnke questioned what effect 3.0 would have on future
expansion and Mr. Hill replied that it would limit their
expansion capability as there is just so much property
there. He stressed that the hospital paid for this report
to be done and he believes 2.5 will meet the needs of the
hospital.
After further discussion, coUncilman Cassandra moved to
amend the 4.0 requirement to 3.0. Councilman deLong
seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Zimmerman com-
mented that he believes that is pretty high and with raising
from 2.0 to 2.5, it is a 25% increase and he agrees with
that. There were some further comments regarding figures
and percentage and Mr. Cassandra stated that he thinks the
issue of Bethesda Memorial Hospital has gone on long enough
and thinks they have been given things beyond every other
applicant in this city. He thinks we should do it right
now. This is an applicant like anyone else in the city. He
feels 3.0 is fair for the future need for parking require-
ments in this city. If they are going to increase the out-
patient services, parking requirements will increase. Mayor
Warnke replied that he takes exception to the statement of
this just being another applicant as it is one of the vital
services in the city. The Mayor clarified that the question
is to amend from 4.0 to 3.0. As requested, Mrs. Boroni took
a roll call vote on the motion as follows:
Councilman deLong - Aye
Councilman Wright - Nay
Mayor Warnke - Nay
Vice Mayor Zimmerman - Nay

Consider Zoning Issue Concerning Drive-in Restaurant in C-2
Zone
Mayor Warnke referred to input being submitted and
Councilman deLong stated he would like to give a report con-
cerning this item. He made a survey of the present
situation. It seems there is a misunderstanding. He
received the communication sent to the Vice Mayor by the
former city attorney at the time this particular ordinance
was granted. It appears there is a different intent being
interpreted. He checked what is out in the field and enu-
merated various commercial businesses with drive-in windows
located in C-1 and C-2 zones. He thinks the ordinance
should be amended to specify the difference between a drive-
in and drive-thru.
Mr. deLong moved to have the City Attorney amend the present
ordinance providing for drive-thru windows. Mr. Cassandra
seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Cassandra asked
if drive-thru would take care of the concern of this appli-

Discussion of Proposed Rezoning by County Commission -
Southwest Corner of Hypoluxo Road and Seacrest Blvd.
(Requested by Mayor James R. Warnke)
Mayor Warnke referred to submitting the notice from the
County Commission and stated his personal opinion of this is
we have been pushing to get Seacrest Boulevard widened and
in looking at this property, there is a large tract of land
south of the gas station and north of the cemetery which
could be developed into a shopping center. This would
result in more traffic on Seacrest Blvd. He thinks a member
of this Council should appear before the Palm Beach County
Planning Commission and County Commissioners stating our
feelings that Seacrest Boulevard should be widened before
any development such as this.
Mr. Annunziato informed the Council that this is an
interesting rezoning request because in 1975, commercial
zoning was approved at this corner. At this time, the
- 24 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
applicant is requesting to change the configuration of the
building. This plan is better, but the applicant may balk
at going forward because of the comprehensive plan criteria
requiring constructing Seacrest Boulevard in front of his
property and contributing towards the widening of Hypoluxo
Road. He feels the applicant will withdraw the application
and wait for Hypoluxo Road to be improved. This is a change
in something previously approved.
Mr. deLong moved to designate the City Planner to appeal at
the meeting and make his statements known. Mr. Cheney
questioned if they wanted any change in zoning until after
the county has committed. He further explained how these
requests could only be made at this time because of the
reconfiguration. Mr. deLong questioned what the City
Planner's feelings were regarding rezoning and what effect
it will have on us and Mr. Cheney replied that the Mayor's
position is there should be no action on any zoning until a
realistic financing and construction commitment is made for
Seacrest Blvd. Mr. deLong agreed.
Mrs. Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, came forward and stated
she agrees with the Mayor. She asked if we are supplying
water to this property and Mr. Cheney replied they are in
our reserve area. Mrs. Zibelli commented that Seacrest
Blvd. is overloaded with traffic now and Mr. Cheney
responded that the Mayor has suggested a position which is
aimed at bringing about the widening of Seacrest Blvd. He
requested Mr. Annunziato to comment further.
Mr. Annunziato advised in this instance, the property is
already zoned and the plan was approved seven to nine years
ago. The applicant wants to reconfigure the shape of the
buildings for a better plan to save the trees along 1-95.
The applicant agreed to construct Seacrest Blvd. from the
cemetery north; however, he did not agree to contribute
$200,000 for the construction of Hypoluxo Road. The result
likely will be the applicant will withdraw his application,
construct the commercial configuration approved previously,
wait until Hypoluxo Road is improved with federal money and
then reconstruct the plan. The water agreement is approved
and he is being served.
Mr. Cheney asked if we follow what the Mayor is suggesting,
does it mean that portion of Seacrest Blvd. in front of the
property will not be widened and Mr. Annunziato replied
affirmatively and will probably go back to the previous
plan. Mr. Cheney clarified that if it is left in the
existing zoning, the applicant can build something and cut

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 6, 1984
down trees and do nothing to Hypoluxo Road. If he is
allowed to rezone, he probably will not accept the county's
condition of widening in front of his property and $200,000
for Hypoluxo Road.
Mr. Cheney noted the hearing before the Board of County
Commissioners is scheduled for March 29 and suggested
possibly putting this on the agenda for March 20 and seeing
what happens in the meantime. Councilman deLong moved to
postpone any action on this item until March 20, seconded by
Councilman Wright. No discussion. Motion carried 4-0.
OLD BUSINESS
Consider Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Allocation and
Current Flows
Mr. deLong suggested making an attempt to come to an
agreement with Delray Beach and if that fails, then have the
City Attorney check the Interlocal Agreement and see if
there are any penalties. Mayor Warnke stated he just
brought this up for discussion and has asked Mr. Vance to
look into this to see what our legal stand is. Mr. deLong
suggested extending the courtesy to see what their feelings
are and Mayor Warnke replied we should be concerned about
them encroaching.
Mr. Vance informed the Council there is a provision in the
Interlocal Agreement providing for a written agreement bet-
ween the two cities to permit the city exceeding the capa-
city to use the reserve capacity of the city not exceeding
their capacity and pay 150% penalty with the excess 2/3
going to the Board and 1/3 to the city. Mayor Warnke asked
if we do not enter into a written agreement with them, do we
have any other recourse and Mr. Vance replied that he would
have to research that.
Mr. Zimmerman asked if the excess capacity would be turned
over to them permanently and Mr. Vance replied that the
contract visualizes it to be a temporary situation. Also,
when that stage is reached, planning is to be initiated to
expand the facility, which is underway.
Mayor Warnke referred to the possibility of Boynton Beach
needing the sewage capacity and discussion ensued about
this.
Mr. Cheney clarified that we are in a position where tech-
nically they are using our property. The Interlocal

strong feelings there are solutions for Delray Beach.
Mayor Warnke referred to additional legal research being
needed and Mr. Wright questioned if we should bring this
before the Board in the meantime and Mr. Vance replied that
the matter could be raised before the Board.
After discussion, Councilman deLong moved to have the City
Attorney research this further and give legal direction.
Mr. Wright suggested this should be placed on the Board's
agenda and Mr. Vance agreed that it can be discussed with
the Board. Mr. Wright suggested the motion be amended to
