Sullivan - The Mayor submitted a proposed Proclamation involving "Victims Rights Week" which will be taken up later in the meeting. Mayor Sullivan reported that the Town had received information from the South County Council of Governments pertaining to local municipalities. The Mayor noted that the legislative delegation was discussing a gross receipts tax bill which might be of interest to some town residents. Mayor Sullivan noted his concern regarding a three day delay in the repair of telephone lines to Regency Highland by Southern Bell. It was noted that the repair was necessitated due to damage to the line by the cutting of trees. The Town Manager will write a letter to the appro- priate official of Southern Bell to express the Town's concern over the delay in the repair. Vice Mayor Mary Louise G. Blosser - • Vice Mayor Blosser reported that the Florida League of Cities is estab- lishing a statewide Blue Ribbon Panel to study water resources and urged the Town to request the South County COG to take a supportive stand on this matter. Vice Mayor Blosser also urged the consideration of an amendment to the Town Code to provide for protection from aircraft (helicopters) needing to land or hover for the purpose of repair or replacement of air conditioning units, water tanks, etc. on the roof of condominiums. The specific case of Ambassadors East was cited. This matter will be addressed at the April Workshop Meeting. Commissioner John J. Basso - Commissioner Basso reported that with regard to the Delray Beach Sewer dispute, an evidentiary hearing had been requested by Delray Beach and opposed by Highland Beach. Subsequent to Commissioner Basso's report, Attorney Sliney noted that a preliminary hearing had been held this morning by Judge Rudnick at which time a hearing date of April 28, 1986 was set to hear the Town's Motion to require compliance rather than the evidentiary hearing requested by Delray Beach. Commissioner William A. Grier - No report. • Town Commission April 1, 1986 • Page 3 of 10 Regular Meeting Commissioner Betty Jean Stewart - Commissioner Stewart reported on the March 10, 1986 Countywide Beaches and Shores Council meeting. Ms. Debbie Flack, former Director of the ~~Y~-°_, Beaches and Shores Division of the DNR was the guest speaker, whose topic was the state comprehensive plan and its coastal element. Commissioner Stewart read an excerpt of Ms. Flack's report, a copy of which is attached for information. Commissioner Stewart also reported that the matter of moving the area under the jurisdiction of the Beaches and Shores Council landward of the Coastal Construction Control Line was referred to a committee for further study. Commissioner Stewart noted that Mr. Eric Olsen gave a report addressing the Coastal Act of 1985, stressing the fact that this Act needs review inasmuch as the entire state's ridge line is being treated the same, when in fact there are various needs throughout the state. The next meeting of the Beaches and Shores Council will be held on ~' April 14, 1986. -- ' • REPORTS - TOWN ATTORNEY: Attorney Sliney noted Judge Rudnick's action regarding the Delray sewer dispute as noted above. With regard to the ITCO (Beach Walk West) lawsuits, Attorney Sliney re- ~- ported that the Fourth District Court of Appeals upheld the Town's ~~1 position with regard to the Writ of Certiori. ~_~ Attorney Sliney reported that a meeting had been held with the Town Manager and Mr. John Toshner of Gee and Jensen, which matter will be reported as a part of the Town Manager's report. REPORTS - TOWN MANAGER: ~ J Mr. Williams noted his meeting with Mr. Toshner and Attorney Sliney, stating that it was the joint recommendation of the Manager and Town .~~;, Attorney that the firm of Gee and Jensen be retained as professional consultants to assist the Town in the zoning matters regarding the Boca Highland and Hoffman sites. Mr. Williams also requested that the scope of services be expanded to include the examination of existing permits on the Hoffman site. Mr. Williams feels that due to the changing philosophy regarding mangroves, etc., a revocation of any existing permits might be possible. Further, Mr. Williams would like authoriza- • tion to have an environmental study done on the subject sites to determine endangered species, etc. The verbal proposal of Gee and • Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 4 of 10 Jensen was approximately $3,000 not including the examination of permits and environmental study. Mr. Irving Saunders, Chairman of the Planning Board addressed the Town Commission at this time noting the Planning Board's dissatisfaction with the firm of Gee and Jensen on past projects due to the changing of consultants assigned to assist Highland Beach. Discussion ensued regarding this matter, with the Town Attorney stating that frustration was understandable under the circumstances cited, however, he felt that Gee and Jensen were competent to undertake the present project. Attorney Sliney noted that Mr. Toshner could be required to handle the project himself, a requirement which could be made a part of the contract. Commissioner Stewart questioned the qualifications of any person who would be retained to do the environmental study, noting that this portion of the project could be handled separately. Mr. Williams stated that whatever portion of the project was handled by Gee and Jensen would cost the Town approximately $65.00 per hour. Commissioner Grier felt that any environmentalist retained should be approved by the ® Town Attorney, inasmuch as the possibility exists that this person will be called as an expert witness should litigation ensue. Mr. Williams suggested that staff be authorized to write to the regulatory agencies to raise questions on the issuance of existing permits. A question arose as to whether Gee and Jenson had done any work for Boca Highland which would create a conflict, which matter was being investigated at this time. This matter will be further addressed later in the meeting. Reports - Boards and Committees: ~-~ I The upcoming meeting dates of the various Boards and Committees were published. Mr. Frank Savino, Chairman of the Community Appearance Board, addressed the Town Commission reporting that the Greening of AlA Committee had received $2,700 to date in contributions, totalling approximately ~'~ $7,700 in funds available with the Town's allocation. Mr. Savino noted~~' that the Greening Committee welcomed the use of a portion of these funds to upgrade the landscaping around Town Hall as well as the north and south boundary signs. Mr. Savino noted that work on the Hackman ,~`~ and Ressler sites, for which funds had been submitted to assure compliance, had not been done. In response to Commissioner Stewart's inquiry, the Town Manager stated that in such cases, the funds would not be returned, but used to complete whatever work had been required. With regard to tk~e Financial Advisory Board, Commissioner Stewart • requested clarification as to the procedure to follow when recommendations are made as a part of the FAB Minutes. Mr. Williams stated that such recommendations would be transmitted by l~im to the Town Commission. Mr. Williams also noted that with regard to several r r~ LJ i Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 5 of 10 recommendations recently made by the FAB, same would be scheduled for discussion at the April Workshop Meeting. Mrs. Marge Mantell, President of the Friends of the Library, addressed the Town Commission noting that the upcoming week was "National Library Week". Mrs. Mantell noted that 1,600 library cards had been issued, with an annual circulation of 12,000 books compared to 10,000 last year. Mrs. Mantell commended the work of Ann Herman, Librarian. Also, Mrs. Mantell noted that artwork is being sought for use in the Library. It was reported that there is approximately $4,700 in the Library Treasury. The next Library Program will be held on April 25, 1986 and will feature a speaker (Steven Bass, Naturalist) from the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center regarding Architecture of the Dunes, as well as a discussion on the Turtle Program by Mr. Jose Echeverria. Mr. Irving Saunders, Chairman of the Planning Board, then addressed the Town Commission, relating to his earlier statements about the firm of Gee and Jensen. Mr. Saunders noted that he felt Mr. Toshner was an ~' experienced and capable planner and had no problems with working with ~_ him, however, noted that the changing of individual consultants was what created the frustration of the Planning Board. Mr. Saunders noted that the Planning Board would not have any problems working with Mr. ~-~ Toshner, should the Town require Mr. Toshner to handle the project C personally. Commissioner Stewart requested the Mayor to send a memoran- ~ dum to the Planning Board, expressing that the Town Commission was very appreciative of thier concern, and noting that any contract would I require that Mr. Toshner personally handle the Town's affairs. Mr. John Sudbay, member of the Police Advisory Board, transmitted the following recommendations to the Town Commission from that Board: 1. That Charles Buccario be appointed as an Alternate Member; 2. That consideration be given to the installation of a water cooler or drinking fountain for use by bikers and joggers, particularly during the weekends; and 3. That consideration be given to the requirement of house numbers being placed in a more conspicuous location for the ease of police and fire personnel. Proposed Ordinances and Resolutions: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, PRO- VIDING FOR THE POSTING OF OCEAN WARNING SIGNS. This Ordinance was read in its entirety. MOTION was made by COMMIS- SIONER GRIER/COMMISSIONER STEWART to adopt the proposed Ordinance. . Attorney Sliney cautioned the Town Commission that they were venturing into something new and should move slowly. Commissioner Basso stated • Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 6 of 14J that based on the opinion of the Town Attorney, he was opposed to creating any responsibility by the Town in this matter. Commissioner Basso noted that the Town could continue to give warning notices to the public, however, was opposed to any compulsory requirements, citing the costs and burden to the Town of inspections etc. Vice Mayor Blosser agreed in Commissioner Basso's opinion, noting that this was dealing with private property and felt that unfortunately, this measure would not help save lives. Commissioner Grier felt that the Building Inspector would be able to enforce the proposed Ordinance and that notice through the Bulletin to residents was not effective inasmuch as there are many residents who do not receive The Bulletin. Commissioner Grier felt that the costs were not beyond reason to remind people of the dangers of the ocean, parti- cularly visitors to the area. Commissioner Stewart stated that the concern was one of the safety to people and felt that this ordinance was more of a measure to remind people of the dangerous conditions, urging caution. • Mr. Michael Dent, resident, felt that the ordinance was inappropriate inasmuch as it was increasing the liability of the Town and felt that the Town should not get involved in posting signs on private property. Vice Mayor Blosser cited the matter of the artificial seaweed, wherein the Town was of the opinion that public funds should not be spent on private property. The vote was then taken on the MOTION to adopt the proposed Ordinance. Commissioners Grier and Stewart voted aye. Mayor Sullivan, Vice Mayor Blosser and Commissioner Basso voted no. The MOTION failed 3 to 2. A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING AFFIRMATIVE AND IMMEDIATE ACTION BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO REDUCE MORTALITY RATES IN THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE POPULATION IN THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. The above Resolution was read by the Vice Mayor. MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER STEWART/COMMISSIONER BASSO that the Resolution be adopted. The Town Manager noted that this Resolution would be forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources as well as to Members of the Legisla- tive Delegation. Commissioner Basso requested that a copy of this Resolution also be forwarded to the Corps of Engineers. Commissioner Grier agreed with the concept of the Resolution, however, felt that additional measures should be taken to reduce boating speeds in the Intracoastal Waterway i.e. undermining the cost of requesting Boca • Raton and Delray Beach to monitor the area through Highland Beach. Mr. Williams will write to Boca Raton and Delray Beach to explore what is d Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 7 of 10 presently being done to see if it is feasible to proceed in another manner. The Vice Mayor referred to a memorandum of December, 1984 from the Acting Town Manager which dealt with this matter. A vote was then taken on the MOTION to adopt the Resolution, which passed unanimously. Commissioner Stewart also noted literature on an "Adopt a Manatee" Program, wherein a manatee could be "adopted" for a donation of $15.0P1. A five minute recess was taken at this point in the meeting. Upon re-convening the meeting, a Proclamation proclaiming April 2P1-26, 1986 as "Victims Rights Week" was read and unanimously approved by MOTION of COMMISSIONER GRIER/COMMISSIONER BASSO. Regular Business: 1. Discussion re retaining expert witness for Drexel lawsuit. Upon the recommendation of the Town Attorney and Town Manager, MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER STEWART/VICE MAYOR BLOSSER to retain the firms of Coastal Technology and Continental Shelf as expert witnesses with regard to the Drexel matter. This MOTION carried unanimously. 2. Discussion re retaining planning consultant to assist Planning Board re zoning matters. Attorney Sliney noted that he had received word from Gee and Jensen that no affiliation had existed between that firm and Boca Highland constituting any conflict of interest. Vice Mayor Blosser noted a February 19, 1986 memorandum which set out the specific tasks to be accomplished by Gee and Jensen. It was the consensus of the Town Commission that Gee and Jensen be retained as the planning consultants on this project and that a separate environmental specialist be retained for the purpose of tracing the permits and inspection of the sites. Commissioner Stewart will advise the Town Manager of experts known to her in this field. The Town Attorney will work with Gee and Jensen on a proposed contract which will include a clause that Mr. Toshner will work personally on the project, as well as a maximum amount clause. The permitting process on Hoffman will be studied for its existing status as well as the possibility of revocation due to changing philosophy of the DNR. Mr. Williams will instruct the Building Department that no permits are to be issued nor plans accepted on the Boca Highland or Hoffman sites due to "zoning in progress". 3. Discussion re improvements at Town Hall (catch basins and roof). `~ ~~> _, ~- ,. -; ~._ ~~ 1 c ~' ...~jf • MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER STEWART/COMMISSIONER BASSO to proceed with the work necessary to alleviate the water problems at the north Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 8 of 10 and south driveways, as well as the water problem in front of the Library building. This MOTION carried unanimously. After discussing two proposals for the re-roofing of the administration building at Town Hall, MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER BASSO/VICE MAYOR SLOBBER to approve the quote of $20,480 for the repair of the roof by Gulfstream Roofingm, with the use of R-10 roofing insulation. This MOTION carried unanimously. 4. Discussion re motel licensing and inspection. This matter will be scheduled for discussion at the April Workshop. The Town Manager will gather information from surrounding municipalities about this subject. 5. Discussion re Bel Lido bridge. The Town Manager stated that a report was in the process of being copied for the Town Commission. Commissioner Stewart requested a report be compiled as to the costs already incurred in regard to the bridge, citing action back to 1979 for reference. Commissioner Stewart also • requested that the Town Manager give the Police Department a written notification regarding the weight limits allowable on the Bel Lido Bridge to determine possible violations. 6. Discussion re microwave lease agreement for communications. Several questions regarding the criteria used for the location of such a microwave antenna were still unanswered. The Town Manager stated that Chief Petracco and Melvin Waffle of Boca Raton were consulting with their radio consultants to obtain answers. Vice Mayor Blosser stated that she would like an answer from a qualified electrical engineer regarding the necessary heights, etc. This matter will be scheduled again for discussion at the April Workshop. 7. Discussion re Centel Cable expansion and increase in franchise fee. ,; i. ,, Mr. Williams stated that the Town was still awaiting any proposed plans ~" regarding the expansion of facilities for Centel Cable. Discussion regarding the proposed increase in franchise fees brought out the fact that any increase would be passed through to the consumer. It was also noted that the surrounding communities were already collecting a 5$ fee versus the 3o fee now being collected by Highland Beach. A proposed Ordinance increasing the fee from 3°s to 5°~ was given first reading and will be scheduled for discussion at the April Workshop Meeting. • Commissioner Stewart asked whether the Town was going to support the upcoming Turtle Program financially or in any other manner, noting that Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 9 of 10 this program took place on private property. Commissioner Stewart noted that problems could arise with people walking on private property at odd hours and that some awareness program was needed to alert the beachfront property owners to the Turtle Program. After discussion, and at the recommendation of Commissioner Basso, the Town Manager will write a letter to all of the beachfront property owners making them aware of the program and asking for their support of those volunteering in the program. Vice Mayor Blosser noted a request regarding a seawall at the north end of Town along the Fredericks and other properties needing attention prior to the April Workshop Meeting. The Town Manager was directed to seek an extension of time in which to reply to the DNR on this matter. A question was raised as to whether the Planning Board had been requested to review the zoning of the Maravilla property inasmuch as 'f~_. the proposed dissolution of the Unity of Title had never been executed.~`~ The Town Manager stated that such request had not yet been made. The ~. Mayor will write an appropriate letter to the Planning Board requesting ~~~;-,,~ their review of the matter. ~-- The following Bills were submitted to the Town Commission for consideration: Board of County Commissioners $ 11,914.11 Camp Dresser & McKee 2,475.00 CSA Marine Services, Inc. 2,640.00 Dilworth, Paxson, Kalish et al 24,766.52 Lawmen's & Shooters Supply, Inc. 750.00 Bill Wallace Ford 8,383.76 Total ............................ $ 50,929.39 There being no further business to come before the Town Commission at this meeting, same was adjourned at 4:55 p.m. • J Town Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 1986 Page 101 of 1(~ r APPROVED: L~~~K Edward J.

Kahlert County Engineer First item under new business was a presentation by Mrs. Flack regarding the Comprehensive Plan and the Coastal The following is a short version of the highlights of Mrs. presentation.

Coastal 0-06fc , The Coastal Construction Control line has been a restrictive, piece meal approach to coastal development, targeting a portion of the active beach/dune system and has left few Governments with an over all management strategy. For the past 15 years the State has been trying to manage the most vulnerable ana sensative areas of the coastline with oermit by permit regulative decisions. The end result has often been inconsistancy. Constant concern at State and local levels has lead to much debate about armoring the shoreline and what that dues to the beach system or whether to do nothing and let the expensive coastal properties erode away or to commit to beach restoration which is an ongoing costly alternative or whether to allow high cost coastal oevelopme'nt tc continue despite the property's vur.erability to storm events. ThEse decisions are increasingly difficult due to the absence of management policies. There has been a majcr charge in the States approach and that is Fl^rida Let; 85.55. This law gives the State and local Government the opportunity to revisit the Coastal Comorehensive Management Plaiiniog effort. Additionally, t- succeed will resclt in a direction and guidance for future growth. To fail will result in an increasing number of regulatory prugrams, increased costs for coastal orotection and losses of r.creational opportunities currently enjoyed. Much discussion has focused on the 30 year erosion, se` back line ana the Coastal Suilding Zone. These are minor eiements of the recent legislation. BOX 2429 . WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33402 . (305) 684-4000 APR. 1 7908 These provisions are regulatory but neither of these elements will achieve coastal management. By December 1987 every County and by December 1988 every Municipality will have a comprehensive plan with emphasis on the coastal element. The Coastal Management Element will be distinct from past efforts in three ways: 1. There is a statement of purpose: Assuring that local manage- ment plans restrict development in coastal areas that are subject to destruction by natural disaster. "It is the intent of the legislature that local government comprehensive plans restrict development activity where such activity would damage or destroy coastal resources and that such plan protect human life and limit public expenditures in areas that are subject to destruction by natural disaster. 2. The law details the required content of the Coastal Element: Local Government will need to inventory all existing land use components in the coastal area - local Government defines the coastal area. The law sets the minimum. Local Govern- ment must map natural resources: Coastal vegetation -empha- sizing preservation and enhancement; wetlands - outlining objectives and methods to minimize degradation of those areas; map all coastal areas subject to flooding; map and inventory all infrastructure subject to storm destruction such as roads, bridges, sewers; map habitats and marine resources; also local Government must duplicate these map- ping efforts for future land use plans. The objective of future planning is to preserve all coastal resources, and establish standards to prioritize water dependent and water related uses. Local Government must prepare objectives that direct population away from high hazard areas. The natural disaster component element: (A) Hurricane evac- uation plan: reducing evacuation time and insuring protection of that route. (B) Post disaster redevelopment plan: i.e. if you have a disaster how would you do it differently then You did it before? (C) Also structures with a repeated history of damage must be inventoried as well as coastal and shore protective structures (seawalls and revetments). (D) Plans to remove structures that are no longer useful for erosion control. (E) Monitor beach and dune conditions before and after a storm so storm damage can be assessed. The beach/dune system components: Local Government must analyse and inventory erosion and accretion trends, effects of coastal structures both as to integrity of the structure and to its effect on neighboring properties, identify areas of potential need for beach/dune restoration. Purpose of this beach/dune component is to protect the beach/dune system minimizing the effects of man made structures and restore altered systems: The shoreline component; Inventory and analyse the capacity to provide and future need for beach access, be it: Parking and access, boat ramps and docks, piers or other recreational activities. The purpose being to increase public access consistant with needs. There is also included in the legislation a portion for infrastructure funding: Capital improvements providing for roads, bridges etc... to meet the needs. 3. Local Government is to provide ordinances, regulations and technics that are going to implement the Coastal Management Element and that these objectives are in fact realized. Local comprehensive plans must be in compliance with the State comprehensive plan and Florida Statute 163. The second item on the agenda under new business was the expansion of projects that could be considered by the Council as authorized in the interlocal agreement. Richard Burn started off the discussion by saying that he would not wish to consider any changes until specific language is provided for. Sam Gofseyeff suggested that the Council discuss whether the current limitations give the Council everything that they want to consider. Commissioner Wilken suggested that the Council include the development --sof a Coastal Management Element. Hank Perl asked whether the Council is interested in broadening the scope of the interlocal agreement. ---?-Sam Gofseyeff made a motion to consider expanding project consideration and supported a committee for same. This was seconded by Chuck Potter who requested that the Council's Engineer be made a member of the committee. Reynolds Miller asked to include only consideration of that construction that directly relates to the coastal region. Under discussion Commissioner Wilken suggested a new paragraph that only addresses the comprehensive plan and the impact of that on the coastal region. The issues involved were subsequently redefined by Eric Olsen. He suggested that there were in reality two issues for consideration that could expand the scope of the interlocal agreement: (1) Was to extend the Council's consideration to 1500' or 5000' landward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. (2) Whether the Council should participate in the development of the Comprehensive Plan's coastal element. A vote was taken on Mr. Gofseyeff motion to have a Committee developed -for the purpose of extending project consideration and the motion was passed. Those members appointed to the Committee include Mr. Burn, Mr. Potter, Commissioner Wilken, Mr. Gofseyeff, and the Council's Coastal Engineer, 04 who would be present by phone. Third item under new business was Coral Cove Park. Pictures were provided by the Town of Tequesta showing the eroded state of Coral Cove Park. Mr. Stoddard pointed out that it is up to the local Government to show some responsibility here, to be alert and aware and to take whatever necessary action is required. He also said that there is concern of a rupture of the dune if erosion continues. The County Engineering office is preliminarily considering a dune reconstruction and revegetation. The Council will consider this at a future time when a concrete plan is presented. Following this presentation Mr. Stoddard showed what Tequesta's Condominium's have done in the past to curb erosion at the private property owner's expense. The fourth item under new business was a rock revetment being proposed at the Passages Condominium. A motion was made by Betty Jean Stewart to have the Council's Consultant provide a recommendation. The motion was seconded by Lester Baird. The motion passed. The item was deferred for one month so that additional information could be given to the Council's Engineer. A new procedure was established at this point to require project items to have full size drawings and use the same permit application format used by the Department of Natural Resources.
