V. Additions, withdrawals, deferrals, arrangement of agenda items

VI.D.- Public Hearing dates for establishment of the State Coastal
Construction Control Line; Item IX.A.S.- Turtle Season; Item IX.G. -Items
by Commissioners; and Item X.F.- Resolution 92 -57 from the City of Boynton
Beach. There were no objections and Mayor Koch so directed.
IX.B.1. Investigation related to Town acceptance of sewer system
Attorney Randolph advised that he, the Town Manager and Town Engineer
had met to discuss the possibility of the Town accepting the private
sewer system, as had been directed by the Commission. He added that they
had felt that an expert in utility law was needed and he had contacted
William Sundstrom from the firm of Rose, Sundstrom & Bentley. Mr.
Randolph then asked the Town Engineer, Mr. Dan Shalloway, to address
the Commission.
Town Commission- Regular Meeting
May 8, 1992 page 2
Mr. Shalloway explained that the private sewer system that has been
installed was designed to be a forced main collection and transmission
system rather than the usual gravity system that is generally installed
by government agencies. He explained also that with the existing soil
conditions,the gravity system would have been much more expensive to
install, but would require much less maintenance than the forced main
system that is in place. Mr. Shalloway added that the system is well
n designed and does follow the environmental regulations of the various
�J agencies involved. In closing, Mr. Shalloway recommended that if the Town
accepts the system, a continuing maintenance program be established for
attention to the system on a regular schedule with spare parts and pumps
on hand for immediate repairs when a breakdown occurs.
Commissioner Stahl understood that there is a possibility that a phase
two would be added to extend the system farther south and questioned
if there was capacity for all of the customers to which the line would
be available. He was advised that it would be necessary to upgrade
the lift station for transmission across the Intracoastal Waterway if
more than one half of the prospective customers came on line. Commis-
sioner Wallace asked if a gravity system could be connected to the
forced main system that was in place and was advised that this would not
be possible as the pipe in the forced main system is much too small for
connection to a gravity system.
Charles Hallock, town resident and President of the Gulf Stream Homeowners
Association, advised that the organization has a full maintenance contract
to cover the system that is operating and that there are spare parts and
pumps on hand to meet emergencies. He stated that this was a requirement
of the Palm Beach County Health Department in order to obtain a permit
for the installation of the system. He added that they have received a
bid for a future contract which would cover maintenance of each of the
lift stations on private property and all of the system that is on public
property at a cost of $13.50 per month per customer. Mr. Hallock reported
that the Association had looked at a gravity system and found that it
would have required that the streets be torn up, many of the water lines
relocated, possibly on private property, and that the pipe be placed on
piling. He added that the pipe was made small so that it would flush more
often and that 50% of the users now on line have installed a duplex lift
station on their property which consists of two pumps rather than one.
On being asked if he knowsof any other systems like this one, he replied
that there is one in Loxahatachee and a number of them in other parts of
the state.
Mayor Koch asked Attorney William Sundstrom to present his report. Mr.
Sundstrom advised that the force main system is used in established
communities and where soil conditions are a problem for the installation
of gravity systems. He added that there are a number of this type of
system on the west coast of Florida. Speaking to legal considerations,
Attorney Sundstrum advised that if the system were to be transferred to
the Town from the private owners, it would be a personal property transfer.
He said that Chapter 180 of the Florida State Statutes providesfor the
establishment of enterprise funds, which this would be, which gives the
Town Commission the right to levy charges necessary to operate the system
and maintain surplus funds to cover emergencies and contingencies, and
that rates could not be controlled by outside agencies.
Town Commission - Regular Meeting
May 8, 1992 page 3
In replying to a question from the Commission, Attorney Sundstrom
advised that the law requires that property owners connect to a sewer
system if one is available but he had never known it to be enforced
unless there was a problem with the individual system that was in place.
He stated that there is no distinction made between public ownership and
private ownership of a system where regulations are concerned. Mr.
Sundstrom reported that there are new septic system regulations by the
State of Florida that are effective and quite restrictive but that they
may not be being enforced at this time by the Palm Beach County Health
Department.
Mayor Koch stated he would like to
system belonging to the Homeowners
for full maintenance of the system.
review the cost experience of the
Association as well as the contract
Mr. Hallock stated that he would most certainly supply this information
to the Commission and added that the original owners of the system do
not expect 'reimbursement for the system if the Town accepts it. He.
added that he had not heard anything from the Commission at this point
that his Corporation could not meet, with regard to conditions under which
the Town would accept ownership of the system. He added, however, that
if the Town decided that they did not want to do this, the Homeowners
have several other options. Mr. Hallock reported that the Homeowners have
received offers from private companies to purchase and operate the system.
Commissioner Stahl asked Attorney Sundstrom if the Town would have to go
to competitive bidding with regard to a maintenance contract. Attorney
Sundstrom advised that the Town could assume the existing contract but
would have to go out for bids for a new one. Addressing the matter of
a company for profit owning the sewer system, the Attorney advised that
they would fall under all utility statutes and costs of operation to the
users would be higher than if a non - profit corporation or a governmental
agency had ownership.
Mayor Koch thanked those making the informative presentation and advised
that upon the Commission receiving the requested information and having
time for study, the matter would once again be discussed. Commissioner
Armour suggested that perhaps a special meeting or workshop would be in
order at that time so that full attention and adequate time could be
given to this important matter.
Mayor Koch returned to the original order of the agenda.
C' VI. Announcements
A. Regular Meeting to be held on June 12, 1992 at 9:00 A.M.
The Town Clerk advised that there would be a variance to consider at this
meeting and the advertising had been mailed.
B. Establish Budget Meeting Dates.
Town Clerk Taylor stated that in the past, budget meetings had been held
in June in the form of workshops with the mandatory meeting held in July.
She advised that the Town does not receive the tax roll until July 1 each
year and that it must be certified, and a proposed millage rate established
before July 31, 1992, but this meeting did not have to be held after 5 P.M.
Mrs. Taylor went on to advise that there are two public hearings required
in September that must be held after 5 P.M.
Town Commission- Regular Meeting
May 8, 1992 page 4
The Mayor and Commissioners agreed unanimously that the July, 1992
regular meeting be changed from July 10, 1992 to July 16, 1992 and that
it be held at 3 P.M. The 1992 -1993 budget would also be considered at
that meeting.
C. Establish Public Hearing Dates for Proposed Zoning Ordinances.
Town Clerk Taylor advised that it is necessary to hold two public hearings
after 5 P.M. and that they must be held two weeks apart. She pointed
J out that to do this it would be necessary to schedule a special meeting
and to change one of the regular meetings to 5 P.M. Mrs. Taylor added
that the Architectural Review and Planning Bd. voted to recommend that
the ordinances be adopted as soon as possible.
Inasmuch as there will be two mandatory public hearings to be held after
5 P.M. in September to consider the budget, the Mayor and Commissioners
directed that the zoning ordinances be placed on the same agendas.
D. Public Hearing dates for establishment of the Coastal
Construction Control Line.
The Town Clerk advised that the Department of Natural Resources, Div.
of Beaches and Shores will be holding three public hearings concerning
the proposed reestablishment of the Palm Beach County Coastal Construction
Control Line. The first hearing will be in the Town of Jupiter on May
26, 1992 at 7 P.M.; the second will be on May 27, 1992 at 7 P.M. in the
Town Hall in the Town of Palm Beach; and the third will be in the City
Hall of Boca Raton on May 28, 1992 at 7 P.M., she stated. Mayor Koch
remarked that this would have a large impact on ocean front property
owners and he directed that the Town Manager send notice of these hearings
to each of them. Town Manager Harrington believed that the State had
advised them all by certified mail but agreed that,as a precaution, the
Town should advise them.
VII. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Special Exception
1. John Sheldon of LeCron Builders, Inc., Agent for J. F.
Vander Wolk, 2801 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida
33483- Placement of a construction trailer at the address
given herein.
Joan Orthwein, Chairman of the ARPB reported that the Board had recommend-
ed that the special exception be granted as requested for a six month
period and that the Town Manager be authorized to renew the permit for
the construction trailer for an additional six months, provided the
applicant complies with any conditions of approval and that no complaints
about the trailer are received. Mayor Koch observed that with a trailer
on the property, there is less parking space on site. The Mayor suggested
to Chief Schultz that extra attention be given to vehicles parking along
AlA near this construction site as it is a hazardous area. Commissioner
Stahl moved that the Special Exception be granted with the conditions
recommended by the Architectural Review and Planning Board. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Wallace. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE,
Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.

and 4 dolphin pilings.
Town Manager Harrington explained that in reviewing the drawings, he noted
that the dolphin pilings on the east side were extending 2.5 feet into the
side setback. Upon contacting the contractor regarding this, he was
assured that the two eastern most pilings would be installed without
encroaching on any setbacks.
The Chairman of the Architectural Review and Planning Board reported
that the Board had recommended that the site plan be approved with the
condition that the eastern -most dolphins be moved an additional 2.5
feet to the west and that a minimum 22.5 foot setback also be maintained
on the west side.
Mayor Koch passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Armour, declaring a conflict
in that his firm participated in the sale of the property to Mr. Bryant.
Commissioner Stahl moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that the site
plan be approved as recommended by the ARPB with the conditions the
Board recommended. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE,
Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Vice Mayor Armour; AYE.
Vice Mayor Armour returned the gavel to Mayor Koch.

Commissioner Stahl read his letter of resignation from the Town
Commission, effective May 31, 1992, which explained that he was moving
out of Gulf Stream and would no longer be eligible to serve. The letter

of the staff expressed their regrets at his leaving and their appreciation
for his work on the commission.

Mr. Harrington reviewed'..a report that had been previously circulated and

Town Commission - Regular Meeting
May 8, 1992 page 6
Town Manager Harrington called attention to the memorandum in the agenda
packet in which he had listed various options for a selection process
for a landscape architect for AlA. The Commissioners believed a
committee should be appointed to review the various options and report
with a recommendation to the Town Commission. Mayor Koch advised he
would prepare a suggested list of names for such committee and bring them
before the Commission, with other suggestions from the Commission being
Cj encouraged.
3. Palm Beach County Municipal League Election.
Mr. Harrington reported that at the last Municipal League Meeting, the
nominating committee submitted a slate of candidates consisting of the
current officers. He further reported that the President asked for
nominations from the floor and there were none, in spite of the fact that
Mayor Graham from West Palm Beach objected to having the current President
returned to office. Mayor Graham stated that she, and some others, were
prepared to support the Vice President for President but he had declined.
She went on to add that her group would be prepared to nominate a
candidate at the May meeting. The attorney for the Municipal League
reminded that she had advised everyone previously that the by -laws did
not provide for nominations to be made at the meeting during which the
election is conducted; therefore, this would be the last opportunity for
any nominations. Since there were no other nominations, Mr. Harrington
stated that the current officers would be seated at the May meeting.
Town Manager Harrington reported that he had been working with a group
of planners from other municipalities to formulate procedures for addres-
sing conflicts in comprehensive plans and land use between governmental
entities. He explained that they are attempting to present a plan that
will follow existing guidelines in the Comprehensive Planning Act while
not creating a bureaucracy to handle it. He stated that the group was
not political and they expected to have a presentation before the County
Commission and the Municipal League near the end of June. Mayor Koch
recognized County Commissioner Mary McCarty in the audiance and questioned
how she felt about the approach the planners were taking in this matter.
Commissioner McCarty believed this was the right approach and that she
had been encouraging the members of the County Commission to hold off on
any action that they may be contemplating in this regard until the material
has been presented by the planning group. Mayor Koch thanked Commissioner
McCarty for attending the meeting and taking an interest in the affairs
of Gulf Stream.
4. Update on Town Code Recodification
Mr. Harrington reported that he, the Town Clerk and the Town Attorney had
reviewed the proofs of the recodification and would be meeting together
after this meeting to finalize the document. Municipal Code Corp. will
then be able to go to press and the document should be ready for adoption
before the end of the fiscal year.
5. Turtle Season
The Town Manager advised that a few of the town residents had suggested
that a letter be sent, by the Town, to the ocean front property owners
to remind that turtle season is upon us. The Commission authorized Mr.
Harrington to prepare a brief letter reminding the ocean front residents
to use caution and good judgement when engaging in beach related activity.

C. Finance Director
1. Financial Report for April, 1992.

D. Architectural Review and Planning Board

proposed ordinances 92/2, 92/3 and 92/4 and recommend adoption of all
three as soon as possible.
E. Police Chief
1. Police Activity in April, 1992
Chief Schultz presented his report and Commissioner Armour questioned why
there were so many more directed patrols this year than last year. The
Chief stated that he had been adding directed patrols this year to control
the parking along AlA at the construction sites, for safety in the area
of the school and beach survediance.
2. Investigation of speeding complaints on local treets.
Chief Schultz reported that over 150 cars had been check /SH radar in the
area west of AlA that is north.of the golf course and only 5 had exceeded
the 30 MPH speed limit. The average speed was between 24 and 25 MPH. He
believed a stop sign on Polo Drive at Palm Way would break up the long
open stretch on Polo, thus discouraging fast acceleration. The Commission
was in agreement with this recommendation.
Mayor Koch questioned what the response had been to the request that
certain hazardous intersections be corrected. Chief Schultz advised that
16 out of the 23 contacted have corrected the conditions and all except
two of the remaining are in the process of doing so.

XI. Public
Mrs. Houghton of 544 Palm Way, Gulf Stream, Florida was recognized.
She advised that she would like to construct a carport inasmuch as she
C has three vintage vehicles and her garage only houses two of them. Mrs.
Houghton stated she understood that carports are prohibited and agrees
that in most cases they are unsightly. She felt however that there
are circumstances under which a carport would be acceptable, especially
if they are unable to be seen from the adjacent property. Mrs.Houghton
requested that the Commission investigate an ordinance amendment to
permit carports under certain circumstances.
The Commissioners agreed that they felt carports are unsightly and
would not favor repealing the prohibition. In view of Mrs. Houghton's
request, Mayor Koch directed that the Architectural Review and Planning
Board review the existing provisions of the code and make a recommendation
to the Town Commission regarding carports.
