He explained what a hybridized street is and touched on the following topics throughout his presentation: - Public art and how it will provide community storytelling, identity formation, an educational element, safety and surveillance, community building, engaging youth, tourism, brand identity, and property value - Precedents and examples of different hybridized street conditions such as a woonerf, a shared street, and flexible streets - Existing conditions within Dania Beach such as the 40 ft. rights-of-way, overhead utility powerlines - Opportunities such as wider sidewalks with flexible design approach, green infrastructure, public art installations, connectivity to civic amenities - Roadway geometry and redirection - Recommendations Minutes of Regular Meeting Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday, September 20, 2023 – 5:30 p.m. 2 Board Member Salvino felt that it was a lot of information to consider. He would like a copy of the presentation to review. Chair Ryan asked Mr. Feoli to elaborate on the recommendation he provided of the flexible street design and Mr. Feoli commented that they felt that the flexible street design provides the best of both worlds by giving a defined roadway corridor with the opportunity to maximize those moments for a public realm improvement. Discussion ensued regarding the flexible street recommendation. Board Member Davis thanked Mr. Gianno for the comprehensive presentation and would like to meet with the Public Art Board to receive their input and bring it back to the Commission. Board Member James inquired about the loading areas, traffic flow and the pedestrians and Mr. Feoli responded that flexible streets make drivers more cognizant of pedestrians and there would also be designated loading areas. Vice Chair Lewellen inquired about the businesses who have private parking lots and Mr. Feoli responded that they would look at circulation patterns and detail the public realm so that the priority of the utilization of the public realm is not so much for vehicular access, but more for taking some of it back for pedestrians. There was consensus that the Board needs time to review the design options and meet with staff. Executive Director Chen commented on the sequencing of the project with the current developments already in place. 10. Adjournment Chair Ryan adjourned the meeting at 6:32 p.m. ATTEST: COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ELORA RIERA, MMC ARCHIBALD J.

Background: The CRA Plan goals include (1) eliminate substandard housing and provide affordable housing alternatives; (2) redevelop the CRA in a manner that is energy efficient and sustainable; and (3) enhance redevelopment activities through an active marketing strategy that supports redevelopment initiatives. At the July 11, 2023 CRA Board meeting, the CRA Board directed to initiate a public notice and Request For Proposals (RFP) process for the sale of the property located at 608 West Dania Beach Boulevard (Folio No. 5042 34 01 2520), which is owned by the CRA (Property) and which the CRA Board, by motion and consensus, desires to sell the Property for use development as a multi-unit townhouse project for low-income affordable housing (80% AMI) and/or workforce affordable housing (140% AMI). In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 163.380, the CRA published notice of its interest in selling a CRA-owned property in the Sun Sentinel on August 21, 2023. Concurrently, the CRA initiated RFP No. CRA-23-018 on August 18, 2023, and closed the process on September 18, 2023. There were two qualified proposals that complied with the RFP requirements, which proposals came from (1) Florida Community Development Corporation and (2) Habitat For Humanity of Broward. Update: Following the closing of the RFP, the RFP Selection Committee reviewed and discussed the qualified proposals and unanimously selected Habitat For Humanity of Broward proposal, subject to clarification and appropriate documentation of the terms and conditions of their proposal. Budgetary Impact The Property has an appraised value of $195,300 (as of August 8,2023) and the Habitat proposal seeks the conveyance of the Property at $0, thus reducing the value of CRA assets. However, this initiative will have no financial impact on the CRA budget. Recommendation The CRA, supports the RFP Selection Committee recommendation and requests Board approval and direction to negotiate the terms and conditions and draft appropriate documentation for the sale of the property located at 608 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, FL, to Habitat For Humanity of Broward. The core terms the CRA would like to negotiate in the agreement includes: 1. The site will be used for the development of a for-sale, multi-unit townhouse project for low-income affordable housing (80% AMI) and/or workforce affordable housing (140% AMI), with at least fifty (50%) percent of the units being workforce affordable housing (140% AMI). 2. The sale will be subject to the execution of a Restrictive Covenant to maintain the specified low-income affordable (80% AMI) and/or workforce affordable (140% AMI) townhouses for thirty (30) years.

Background: At the July 11, 2023, CRA Meeting, I provided a comprehensive description of the damage and crop contamination caused by the flooding during April and May. Due to the extent of the damage, the cost of fully restoring the damaged systems, the time it would take for the crops to recover, and the ongoing risk of future flooding and other challenges specifically associated with the current site, it was suggested to reconsider maintaining the PATCH at its current location. As an alternative, I advised of discussions I had with Manager Garcia and Dep Manager Sosa- Cruz regarding the potential of relocating the PATCH to another City-owned site at 1399 Stirling Rd (BCPA ID 5142 04 00 0080 and 5142 04 00 0090 – BCPA folio sheets attached) The site is on the south side of Stirling Rd, just east of S Bryan Rd along the canal. The CRA was directed to develop a comparative analysis of the current location at 1201 W Dania Beach Blvd. versus the potential alternative site at 1399 Stirling Rd. Update: The analysis is not merely a comparison of the physical dimensions of each site. The ability to support a farming operation and the potential for other uses is an important consideration. I conferred with Biancamaria Bacarossi, Lead Farming Coordinator for the PATCH, Jaime Castoro, Farming and Crop Consultant to the PATCH, and Noah Siegel, Farm Manager for The Fruitful Fields, to determine what farming characteristics would be relevant to the analysis. Other resources engaged to perform the due diligence for the comparative analysis include: • Boundary and topographical surveys for both sites • Appraisals for both sites • Heavy metal soil tests for both sites Both sites have only minor traces of heavy metals, but nothing greater than traces found in normal soil conditions. The potential for ground contamination associated with the historic use of the Dania Beach Blvd site as a trash dump could only be determined by an extensive Phase II Environmental Assessment, which was not performed. The historic use of the Stirling Rd site was a nursery – remnants of an irrigation system were found. The farming capabilities of Stirling Road as significantly superior to those of Dania Beach Blvd. The Sterling Rd site is more than twice the size of the Dania Beach Blvd site. This larger site would facilitate the growth of a wider range of crops, including the planting of a fruit orchard – fruits thrive during the summer months, while vegetables grow better in the cooler months. The commercial environment of Stirling Rd would tolerate bee hives, which would benefit gardens across the entire area. The biggest benefit of the Stirling Rd site is the soil. The frequent flooding at the Dania Beach Blvd site washes out the soil and its history as a trash dump inhibits growing crops in the soil. The soil conditions at Stirling Rd will support Syntropic Agroforestry, a highly productive in-ground growing strategy. The benefits of syntropic farming include: large yields; optimal use of land; no need for external inputs; improved soil quality; minimal weeding; plant resilience due to biodiversity; and better water management, both in extreme wet and dry times. The short summation is, while the Stirling Rd site is more than twice the size of the Dania Beach Blvd site, it is estimated that the fruit and vegetable production will be three to four times greater. The costs of restoring the PATCH crop production at its current location, including the repair of the irrigation system and hydroponic growing systems, are estimated to be approximately $60,000. This would not address some of the basic issues of the site, such as the fence line encroachment on the east side, the frequent flooding, the ADA issues, the ground contamination associated with its historic use as a dump site, and/or implementing the recommendations of the PATCH master plan developed by VHB in the CRA Plan update. There was no attempt to estimate the cost of moving the PATCH to Stirling Road. Most of the “portable” infrastructure at the current location can be moved, such as the sheds, the trailer, the hydroponic systems/tanks. However, we will need to establish the electrical and water infrastructure to set up and connect them. Setting up an irrigation system at the new site would cost about $70,000. The big cost would be the design/engineering and construction cost of building a new pavilion – smaller than the existing pavilion. The cost estimates for the most significant expenses can only be developed from engineered designs. The cost of the engineering work should only be undertaken after a Board decision to move the PATCH. Whatever the cost of moving, at least some cost could be offset by grants, sponsorships, and/or the developer of the vacated Dania Beach Blvd. site. From the information collected and with collaboration of our farming and crop strategy consultants, I have prepared a comparative matrix of the two-site options (see attached). This matrix compares the physical elements of each site and a summary of the farming issues. Budgetary Impact None at this time. Recommendation The CRA recommends for thr Board to provide direction on its preferred location for the PATCH, so the CRA can focus on reestablishing the crop production.

Michael Chen CRA Executive Director Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency 100 W. Dania Beach Boulevard Dania Beach, Florida 33020 RE: Three Parcels of Land-“Patch Garden” 1201 Dania Beach Boulevard Owner: City of Dania Beach Dear Mr. Chen,: Pursuant to our appraisal agreement, we have completed an appraisal of the above-captioned parcels. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject parcel as of August 28, 2023. The three parcels are located at 1201 W. Dania Beach Boulevard in Dania Beach, Florida. The property consists of three parcels, containing 23,087 square feet, 3,006 square feet and 22,150 square feet for a total of 48,243 square feet of land area. The assemblage of the three parcels for redevelopment was considered the highest and best use with the potential for a future multi- family residential development. Parcels A & B are currently zoned NBHD-RES – Neighborhood Residential with Parcel C identified as a Right-Of-Way parcel, and all of these are under the ownership or control of the City of Dania Beach. The assembled parcel is currently known and utilized as the “Patch Garden”. The purpose of this appraisal is to determine the market value for above referenced property. The function of the report is for use in the potential disposition of the site by the City of Dania Beach. The intended users of this report are the City of Dania Beach and their representatives. Market value is defined as "the most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress." The attached report contains our analysis of the factual market data, which forms the basis for our conclusions. Your attention is directed to the Certificate of Valuation and the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, which form an integral part of the attached report. This appraisal is based on the assumption that right of way parcel is available for development and that there are no underground easements or utilities within the right of way that could impact the development potential of this portion of the whole property. REAL ESTATE ADVISORS │ PROGRAM MANAGERS │ REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS Mr. K. Michael Chen September 5, 2023 Page 2 We have personally inspected the property that is the subject of this report. Based upon the conclusions contained in the attached Appraisal Report, in my opinion, the market value of the subject property as of August 28, 2023, is as follows: ONE MILLION SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,060,000) Respectfully submitted, Robert D.

Dania Beach Boulevard Dania Beach, Florida 33020 RE: Two Parcels of Land 1399 Stirling Road Dania Beach, Florida 33020 Owner: City of Dania Beach Dear Mr. Chen: Pursuant to our appraisal agreement, we have completed an appraisal of the above-captioned parcel. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject parcel as of August 8, 2023. The property is located on the south side of Stirling Road just east of Interstate 95 in Dania Beach, Florida. The property consists of two parcels, one containing 102,568 square feet and another containing 9,995 square feet or a total of 112,563 square feet. Both parcels are irregular in shape and are located on the east (87,515 SF) and west (25,048) sides of the canal. The purpose of this appraisal is to determine the market value for above referenced property. The function of the report is for use in the potential disposition of the site by the City of Dania Beach. The intended users of this report are the City of Dania Beach and their representatives. Market value is defined as "the most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress." The land on the east side of the canal has the highest and best use for industrial use, with the land on the west side having the highest and best use for a cellular tower and there is a lease in place for development of that site with that use. The attached report contains our analysis of the factual market data, which forms the basis for our conclusions. Your attention is directed to the Certificate of Valuation and the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, which form an integral part of the attached report. REAL ESTATE ADVISORS │ PROGRAM MANAGERS │ REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS Mr. Chen August 15, 2023 Page 2 We have made an extraordinary appraisal assumption in this assignment. We have assumed that a zoning change to some type of industrial zoning would be allowed on the subject property. In our opinion the probability of a zoning change is good, and the zoning change would need the approval of our client, the City of Dania Beach. The zoning change would be in conformity with surrounding uses and zoning and thus the change is reasonably probable. Further, the cellular tower has not been constructed as of the date of value and this appraisal assumes that the development of the site will be completed. Finally , it is assumed that there are no environmental wetlands or other environmental concerns on any of the parcels. We have personally inspected the property that is the subject of this report. Based upon the conclusions contained in the attached Appraisal Report, in my opinion, the market value of the two parcels as of August 8, 2023, is as follows, subject to the above noted appraisal assumptions: CELLULAR TOWER SITE (WEST SIDE OF CANAL) FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($575,000) INDUSTRIAL HIGHEST AND BEST USE LANDS (EAST SIDE OF CANAL) ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,400,000) TOTAL MARKET VALUE-BOTH PARCELS ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS $1,975,000 Respectfully submitted, Robert D.
