A. DISCUSSIO.III A]!'D .POSSIBLE ACTION
REGUI.AR MEDTING NOVEMBER 2A,79956
8.1 FDOT response to Commission and Community concerns regarding Dixie
Highway Corridor Study.
City Manager Smith mentioned that a study has been in process for several months by
the Florida Department of Transportation with the consulting firm of Kimley Horn on the
Dixie Highway Corridor.
John Thompson, Project Manager with FDOT, introduced team representatives from
the Gothard Group and Urban Resource Group.
Paul Cherry, Kimley Horn, presented a computer enhancement slide of the proposed
future plans for providing a Reliever Route to US 1 which would utilize roads parallel to
the railroad from lves Dairy Road to Griffin Road. Further comments related to
landscape and buffer opportunities to the north, traffic concerns and right-of-way
impacts to the community.
Mr. Cherry explained that a summary of the right-of-way costs for the entire project
including Hallandale, Hollywood, Dade County and Dania are between $52 and $61
million dollars. The estimated construction costs from Dade to Dania are in the $25 -
$26 million dollar range and engineering costs including the construction, inspection
and administration is in the $8 million dollar range bringing the grand total cost of the
project from $87 to $95 million dollars. There are three alternatives that show the righl
of-way impact and proposed tax base loss to Dania is expected to be from $88,000 to
$1 04,000. He projected 10 years for completion once all phases of the project are
funded and clarified that none of the subsequent phases of construction have been
funded at this time.
Discussion followed on the community involvement that has taken place and plans to
hold six task force meetings from January through March at City Hall. A formal
informational meeting would be scheduled around March after the task force meetings
to allow public comment and a final public hearing sometime in April. The information
and input from the Public Hearing would be included in a final report document that
would be provided to the Department of Transportation.
Mayor Hyde mentioned that the City Commission may not necessarily agree with the
schedule presented and that the City will probably present a position paper on the
project to DOT. Mayor Hyde recommended to have Mr. Cherry coordinate with City
Manager Smith on public participation and meetings to be scheduled at City Hall.
8.2 Review and approval of removal of trees by FDOT for improvements at l-95 and
Stirling Road.
Will Allen, GroMh Management Director, advised that Keith & Schnars are consultants
for FDOT on the improvements being made at the intersection located at l-95 and
Stirling Road. Keith & Schnars are requesting permission from the Commission to
7REGUT.AR IUIE,ETING NOVEMBER 28, 7995
remove 22 tees at the location which are appraised at $ 59,496.75. The money from
the trees would be placed in a Tree Preservation Fund to be used for planting trees on
public property at the Commission's discretion.
Betty Hassett, Keith & Schnars, explained that they have not been able to come up with
a design that retains the trees and that quite a number of trees will remain. Twelve of
the 22 trees are special category trees and the Commission must provide approval to
remove them. Mayor Hyde asked whether it would be possible to replace some of the
trees or add additional landscaping to the intersection instead of receiving a lump sum
payment. Ms. Hassett mentioned that a lot of the trees are too old to be moved and
that Dan Oyler, previous City Planner, agreed with the lump sum payment alternative.
Commissioner Grace suggested to get a second opinion on the trees before destroying
them based on the City's status as a Tree City USA. Ms. Hassett mentioned that the
trees on the sidewalk and adjacent to the sidewalk have to be removed and that the
situation has been studied very carefully.
Commissioner Jones mentioned his concern with the traffic problem in the area and
whether something could be done to alleviate the situation. Ms. Hassett stated her
inability to respond to engineering questions since she is the Landscape Architect for
the project. She advised the Commission that the interchange is being modified on
both the Dania and Hollywood side.
A motion was made by Commissioner Grace, seconded by Commissioner Jones to
defer the item to December 12, 1 995, regular meeting to allow more time to receive
further information on the engineering, relocation of trees and traffic concerns for the
project.
The motion passed on the following roll call vote:
Commissioner Grace - yes
Mayor Hyde - yes
Commissioner Jones - yes
