Proposed Ordinance Ne. 78-
Conformin~ Lots
Re: Amendment Pertaining to Non-
Mayor Jackson referred to ~. Moore being requested to come
back with a recommendation and Mr. Moore referred to ~he pass-
age of the recent ordinance eliminating most of the problems
and advised that the intent of this amendment weald not allow
a man to mss an individual platte~ lot not meeting standards.
M~. Roberts referred to the ordinance passed giving the right
to bmild to an owner of a platted lot, but if the ownership
changes, he would be stuck with it or have to apply for relief.
He does not see any r~asen for denying anybody the right to
build on a lot already platted and thinks we have done our
part by shutting the door on further development except on
those already in existence. ~. DeMarco agreed a~ud suggested
leaving the law as it is for the time being to see how it
works. N~. Caldwell stated he was concerned with the possi-
bility of an individual owning several 50 ft. lots and develop~
lng them in spite of upgrading the zoning throughout the City.

Now we find ourselves in a situation saying we have gone so
far and not go all the way. He feels we are not demonstrat-
ing good faith to all the residents of the City. He suggests
considering this proposed amendment. Mr. Roberts asked if he
would divide three lots into two and Mr. Caldwell referred to
what the City was trying to accomplish and asked if we were
upgrading neighhorho0ds or going to allow sections that were
platted without perhaps the hest foresight to remain uncor-
rected according to the times in which we live. Mr. Roberts
referred to the legal ramifications and Mayor Jackson replied
that we would be taking action on something which has happened
already and she thinks we would be getting into a Jam. Mr.
Moore referred to discussing this in depth and advised there
was an area of law ia which this would interfere. Amy restric-
tion on a man's right is u~der police l~wer. They have the
authority _to pass this amendment, hut there are many cases
which caution him in advising that we could end up with rami-
fications and could with the one already passe~o If an in-
dividual 50 ft. lot or su~-standard lot gets into ownership,
there are basic cases where you cannot de~y a man the mss of
the property.
Me. Caldwell moved to adopt the proposed ordinance presented
to the Council by the residents of the La~rel H~s Homeowners
Association. ~ayor Jackson ascertained this motion died for

Mr. Kohl referred to a long letter being submitted from the

presentatives were present.
~. Grover C. Herring, Attorney for TelePrompTer Corporation,
appeared before the Council and advised that he wrote the
long letter hoping to keep the presentation down as brief3
as possible. Meyer Jackson replied that the Council had all
read the letter. Mr. Herring then introduced the officials
of the company. He told a~out cable television being started
in the 1960's with the FCC reguiring cable companies to be
franchised. He referred to the reports submitted regarding
losses suffered by the compaq. He referred to an increase
being granted in 1975 and explained that the FCC decision
now made it an option whether municipalities regulate the
rates. They feel it would be best to deregulate on an exper-
imental basis. If the company gets out of hand, the measure
could be re-enacted. He referred to several areas deregula-
ting and suggested that it would be desirable for the fair
market price to determine the cost for this service.
Mayor Jackson asked if there was any particular segment
where the bulk of the business comes from and M~. Terry
Meyerin$ ~sPrem~Ter~ul~dit was mostly residential with
about 17% penetration in the City with approximately 1,700
homes ~s~hscrihing, which is very low. M~. Herring added
that the reason was with being close to Miami, the antenna
service is better.

Mr. Meyeri~g added that the company would make small incre-
ments from time to time and as the revenue increases, ~o does

no particular group.
Mr. DeMarce asked if we were deriving anything from the home
box office ~d Mr. Herring replied that was ~re-empted by the
FCC.
Mr. Caldwell referred to the current rate structure and Mr.
Meyering informed him the basic rate was $7.50 here and in
other areas of the County, a second set is $~.00 er $2.00
more, and $14.95 for the hookup. M~r. Caldwell asked what
they anticipated the charges to go to upon deregulation by
the City and Mr. Meyering replied that they have no plans
to adjust the rates, but after the sumpter may adjust them
upward slightly. They ~uticipate going no higher th~u $7.95
and the installation would be $19.95. He added that the
$7.50 subscribers, rate ~as the same rate charged throughout
Palm Beach County by their 16 franchises.
Mayor Jackson referred to the County turning down their

Consider Acquisition of Property for Regional Lift Station
Site
Mr. Kohl referred to copies being submitted to.'the Council
of appraisals for property located on State Road 804, west of
Congress Avenme, which is still available. As they are aware,
the City is ~till in need of obtaining property for li~t sta-
tions and he respectfully requests their permission to pre-
coed with negotiations in accorda~nce with the requirements of
the Environmental Protection Agency, Also, at this time, he
respectfully requests their permission to start negotiations
for property located at the east end cf E. E, 2nd Aven~e for
the same p~poses. May he have Co~mcil's wishes please.
He added that we have to proceed post-haste.
Mr. Caldwell moved to direct the City ~mager to take the
necessary steps to acq ~re the !and necessary for the lift
stations as recommended, seconded by Mr. Roberts. Mr. Kohl
clarified that there were two parcels, one e~ East 2nd Avenue
and one at Congress and 804° Under discussion, ~_r. Roberts
asked how many parcels were involved and Ne. Kohl replied
that we are trying to buy land for two lift stations. Mr.
Kohl explained that two appraisals were given for the one
parcel, hut according to EP~ requirements, we must accept
the one appraisal with the owner, but we are trying to get
the owner to come down if possible. Mr. Roberts asked if
EP~ was paying for it and Mr. Kohl replied that EPA is pay-
ing 75% of the grant for the transmission lines and Mr.
Tom Clark clarified that EPA pays 75% on the construction,
hut not for the site. There wa~ further discussion about
the appraisals and N~. Kohl requested %he ~pportunity to
talk to the people. Motion carried 5-0.
Reconsider Dr. Charles Simon'S Applicatio~ for Rezo~g
~, Ernest Simon, attorney representing Dr. Charles Simon,
appeared ~efore the COuncil and e~pressed appreci~tion for
granting this reconsideration. He stated he would like the
Council to be aware of some of the factors. He distributed
a sketch and explained ~he location of the property. He
explained the various zonings in the area and submitted
photographs of the adjacent areas~ He referred to this
property being vacant and explained how it was cornered
into the City limits by the church to the north. The only
residential touching this property is owned by the parents
of Dr. Simon and him~elfo Their parents have joined with
others within the 400 ft. area and signed a petition in
favor of this request. He told about the traffic at this
corner and how the lot was used for the disposal of trash.
He clarified that Dr. Simon was requesting the zoning to
M!NUT~8 - REGU~ CITY COUNCIL ~'EETiNG

MARCH 7, 1978
be cha~ged from R-IA residential to C-1 to permit the con-
struction of a small professional building. He stressed
that it would be in keeping with the area and would uot
offend his parents living next door. The most important
aspect is that it is surrounded by these various develop-
ments and closed in by the church so there is a natural
C-1 barrier between this parcel and any parcels to the north~
Unless the rezoning is granted, the land cannot be reasonably
used. He knows there were some fears of spot zoning~ but
this is reverse because what has Been developed has spotted
him in an unusable classification. He is not asking to re-
zone a large tract, hut only to use the land for a professional
office building, The traffic generated By that would be a
drop in the Bu6ket to that which is already there. Ee the~
thanked the Council for their consideration and attention
and invited any questions regarding the plan or property.
Mr. DeMarco made a motion to rezone this from R-tA to C-I at
3650 South Seacrest Boulevard, seconded by Mr. Roberts.
Under discussion, Mr. Roberts referred to the action taken
previously 8~d told about visiting the site to clarify the
location and with the church and dwelling to the north, he
feels his decision previously was wrong to reject it. He
was in favor of having it reconsidered and i~ favor of having
this corner by itself in the midst of traffic for a C--~
building which is not too drastic a change under the circum-
stances. Nm. Caldwell asked if there was a street immediately
to the east of this property and F~. Simon informed him that
immediately to the east, there are two houses and then a
street; it was previously a dedicated right-of-way which was
abandoned. Mayor Jackson stated if she had ~jthing to say
abo~t the zoning south of there~ she would not have allowed
what was buil~ there, but she did not have anything to say
about it. As far as the ch'u~rch, it is there, But all the
rest of the area to the north for a long ways is residential
and the people bought in good faith ho~ing it would remain
residential and she still feels it should remain that way.
~m. Roberts agreed that it should remain residential to the
north, but the church breaks the continuity. Mr. Harmening
referred to the petition submitted by the people being in
favor ~ud stated he saw no objection. Mr. Caldwell referred
to the possibility of Gulfstream Boulevard going commercial
all the way down. Notion carried 3-2 with Mr. Caldwell and

that any governmental agency may use the Council Chamhers and

would like the Council,s feelings about this. ~yor Jackson
referred to the Boat Club, Royal Palm Club House and Galaxy
School being available at no charge and Mr. Kohl adde~ that
there was also a room at the Civic Center. N~. Caldwell
suggested having this information readily available f~r
people when they call in reference to renting City Hall faci-
lities. ~. Roberts stated that the Council Chambers is not
s~pposed to be used for a pienic and any group that comes on
that basis should be denied the use. After discussion,
