to the members of the previous Planning Board and especially to the

Commissioner Armour noted that all candidates had been furnished with
a copy of the Ordinance #91/12 and a copy of Attorney Randolph's letter
explaining the powers and duties of the Board and suggested if there
were any that had been appointed that felt they could not follow this,
it should be made known. Mayor Koch advised that if there were no
objections from the Commission, the Architectural Review and Planning
Board would meet in Special Session at 8:00 A.M. on their regular
meeting date of April 3, 1991 at which time Attorney Randolph would
elaborate on the duties and powers of the Board and the Board would
organize in preparation for their regular meeting to follow at 9:00
A.M. There were no objections to these arrangements.
IV. Consideration of
f the Architectural
Commissioner Wallace suggested that since two of the members
of the new Board had served for four years on the Planning Board, they
could be given terms of two years and the other members be given terms
of three years which would create staggered terms to a certain degree.
Commissioner Cross moved that Mrs. Orthwein and Mr. Lynch be appointed
for two year terms and all others, including the alternate members, be
appointed for three year terms. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Stahl. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour;
AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
V. Development Petition from the City of Delray Beach which lies
within one quarter mile of the boundary of Place AuSoliel
Commissioner Armour advised that he had investigated this matter
and had been told by the Planning Department in Delray Beach that the
property under consideration is now being used to house 16 persons thru
C) a drug rehabilitation program. The structure is an older motel and it
is being used as a half way house. The proposal is to expand the
facility to a maximum of 40 persons with new buildings to be erected
and the existing structure to eventually be replaced. He was advised
that the residents work during the day and return to the facility each
night. He was further advised that the main entrance would be from
Old Dixie, not from US1. Comm. Armour felt the proposed development
would be an improvement and he would support it unless there were to
be something other than what had been represented brought forth. The
facility is called "Oaks Square Halfway House ", he said. Commissioner
Cross moved that Commissioner Armour be authorized to express on behalf
of the Town that there is no objection to the project as it has been
presented at this time. The motion was seconded by Commission Stahl.

VI. Town Managers Absence
Mayor Koch announced that Town Manager Flannery had been called
C to active duty with the Coast Guard however he was present today as he
had been given a two day pass. The Mayor welcomed Mr. Flannery and
expressed his appreciation for his attending the meeting.
A. Supplemental Benefits
Mayor Koch advised that the matter under consideration is
that of having the Town supplement Senior Chief Flannery's salary from
the Coast Guard. He then asked if Commissioner Stahl had any comments
regarding this since he was very familiar with the military. Commis-
sioner Stahl stated that there is a communication from the Coast Guard
addressed directly to Senior Chief Flannery's Coast Guard benefits
and he felt there was ample information to make a decision on the matter.
Comissioner Stahl moved that the Town compensate Mr. Flannery each
month he is on active duty in accordance with the analysis presented
so that his total compensation during his absence is equal to his total
compensation if he were present and working for the Town. Commissioner
Armour suggested that it be clear that this applies only as long as Mr.
Flannery is on forced active duty and if he chose to remain active, it
would no longer apply. Commissioner Stahl made this a part of the motion.
Commissioner Wallace seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace;
AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor
Koch; AYE. Commissioner Stahl added that this compensation can be met
and still be well within the budget and Mayor Koch added that this had
been cleared thru the financial director, Mr. Gwynn.

sioner Wallace was appointed, the money market account was not changed

Lawrence E. Stahl and Kathleen S. Wallace with any two being required.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Armour. Roll Call: Comm.
