Derrick Hankerson, 746 SW 3'd Street, thanked the Commission for the City's Visioning
Workshop and noted the Mellgren Group did a great job. He commented on a situarion
regarding a water bill for irrigation received by Ruth Phillips, a member of College Gardens
Neighborhood Association. The bitl for irrigation was $108.00 and she indicated that she had a
difficult time dealing with the Water Department. Ms. Phillips had a plumber check the
irrigation system and he did not find a leak. Mr. Hankerson was worried to hear comments such
as "this happens all the time". He hoped the City would mitigate this issue for the resident.
Mayor Jones asked Public Services Director Orlando to look into the matter.
Commissioner Bertino was concerned with the comment that this happens all the time. He
would like to see this problem rectified.
City Manager Pato advised that in other cases we found that people were watering their lawns 3-
4 times per week and would sometimes let the water run longer. He noted that the Finance
Department brings these matters to his attention as well as the Public Services Department. City
Manager Pato clarified that only the Commission can mitigate or reduce the fee.
Vice-Mayor Castro suggested implementing an intemal process to deal with customer service
matters.

Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, June 10,2008 7:00 p.m.
Vice-Mayor Castro
Mayor Jones
Commissioner Anton requested City Manager Pato contact the City of Lake Placid, Florida, for
information on the sound that they have added to their supergraphics.
City Manager Pato noted he would like to work with CRA Director Earle because this property is
located in the CRA district.
Mayor Jones commented that if we do this we are setting the theme for what we want to do in the
community. He questioned if we should wait until after the Visioning Sessions to approve the
request.
Clare Vickery, property owner, indicated that this would not set a precedent and thought the
Commission would be happy with it. She noted that people have a hard time linding her
building because everything downtown is white or dilapidated, and the mural would be a good
marketing tool for her business. Ms. Vickery expects to begin the graphic immediately.
Frank Ciccio, 2665 Middle River Drive, Fort Lauderdale, local a(ist who will paint the
supergraphic, said he could change the rendering to something else for the Commission.
Vice-Mayor Castro commented that even after tomorrow's Retreat, downtown will still look as it
does for a long time. She thought this was an interim solution to the redevelopment of our
downtown.
Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing.
Derrick Hankerson, 746 SW 3'd Street, expressed concem and alarm because we just asked the
citizens what they wanted Dania Beach to look like, and this seems to be circumventing the
process. He urged the Commission to table the request until the people decide on their vision of
the City.
Jimmy Crimmin ger, 237 SW l5th Street, thanked Clare Vickery for doing something for the
downtown district, and urged the Commission to move forward.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Jones closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Anton agreed with Mr. Hankerson and the Mayor, but the Commission recently
approved the building for Mr. Casper, which is also unique. He pointed out that we do not want
to put every project on hold while we work on the redevelopment ofour City.
Vice-Mayor Castro noted this does not circumvent the process but enhances our downtown while
we move forward. She stressed the fact that there are businesses that need to survive while we
go though the process, and we must support them. Vice-Mayor Castro advised that at the
Visioning Sessions last weekend, a lot of residents talked about quaintness and maintaining our
unique downtown atmosphere. This process will take time.

Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principat City Planner, noted the location of the property and explained it
is in the CRA district. She advised there has not been an active business license for this location
for over a year, therefore the landscape needs to be updated. Ms. Lajoie indicated the landscape
requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting a sign variance and the elimination ofa
wall/fence; the third variance is for alcohol sale within 700 feet from a school, Code requires
1,000 feet. A perimeter landscape buffer variance is also being requested for a dumpster
enclosure. The applicant is requesting outdoor dining and the Code requires thal the
Commission approve the outdoor furnishings. She further noted that the applicant is also
requesting live entertainment three times per year. The Planning and Zoning Board
recommended approval with staff conditions. Staff recommended approval of the variances and
perimeter landscape buffer, with the condition that rolling gates are provided to eliminate vehicle
conflicts when the gates are open. Ms. Lajoie advised that the approval of the remaining items
are al the discretion of the Commission.
Commissioner Anlon disclosed he spoke with John Bartley regarding the project.

restauranteur and has owned Shenanigans for 16 years. He noted he is installing 9 Live Oaks
Trees along the back property line, and if he installs a fence adjacent to the existing fence it
would create a tiability. Mr. Utter responded lor Commissioner Flury that he would agree to
install a new fence should anl.thing happen to the existing one. He noted he met with members
ofthe community and assured them that if there is a traffic/parking problem he will install signs
directing people where to go. Mr. Utter indicated there would not be any loud music outdoors.

traffic becomes a problem in that neighborhood.

Mayor Jones requested lighting toward the back of the property, provided it does not affect the
neighbors who are in close proximity to the business.
Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearings.
Joe Van Eron, 1500 SW 2nd Avenue, noted he and Lisa Young met with Mr. Utter and they are
excited about the project. He said they did not see the site plan before it came to the
Commission and noticed there are still some issues that have not been addressed. They are
concemed with additional traffic, sound, lighting, etc.
Jimmy Crimminger,23T SW l5th Street, is thrilled with the project. He is concerned with the
variance for the wall/fence and would rather see a masouy wall between the business and the
adjacent residences.
Rose Lizana, 214 SE 2"d Street, urged the Commission to grant the variances and support the
business. She noted that as publisher of the local newspaper, she has heard comments from
residents and other business owners on how excited they are with this project.
Patty Hart, 517 NE 2nd Place, questioned the separation between the walls. She suggested
contacting the property owner and offering to replace the wall.
Emie Candelmo,4l00 Pierce Street, Holl)'wood, supported opening the Shenanigans on Federal
Highway. He spoke highly of the ov"ners being good corporate citizens and felt that their
dedication and work ethics would be an asset to the downtown area in the City of Dania Beach.
Annette Hibbitts, 26 SW 11s Street, spoke in favor ofthe project.
John Bartley, 201 SE 2"d Avenue, Conlractor for the project, noted the back parking lot would be
repaved, re-sealed and striped. He indicated there would only be a right tum when leaving the
property.
Lisa Young, 609 E. Sheridan Street, #103, president ol Dania Beach Heights Civic Association,
noted they support the project but want it done right. She noted the traffic issue is a real concem.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Jones closed the Public
Hearings.
Commissioner Anton noted the applicant has agreed to replace the wooden fence if it is damaged
and he is not concemed with the materials used, provided the neighbors and the business owner
come to an agreement. He indicated that as long as the entertainment does not impact the
neighborhood, it can occur more often. The traffic problems are primarily caused by cut-through
traffic in peak hours and the owner has agreed to address the issue if it arises. Commissioner
Anton thought Shenanigan's would be a major asset for our City.

lighting as approved by staft and 4) the applicant will help eliminate the traffic in the

that the curb with the "right tum only" sign be installed immediately, directing traffic towards
the Federal Highway Corridor.
Mayor Jones agreed with the curb requirement
Commissioner Anton did not lhink the curb was necessary unless a problem arises. He thought
installing the curb would be an inconvenience for the neighbors in that area.
Vice-Mayor Castro made a substitute motion to have the applicant include the curbing in
the site plan; seconded by Mayor Jones.
Mr. Utter commented that he would be a very poor businessman not to comply with the
requirements of the City. He noted that he gave his word that if the traffic becomes a problem he
will do every.thing that the City needs him to do. However, he would like to open his business as
soon as possible so he can support his family. Mr. Utter said he would like to establish a good
and friendly relationship with the City and the adjacent neighbors.
Mr. Bartley noted that traffic will not be able to turn east if a curb is installed.
Commissioner Flury said she would not support the substitute motion. She would like thrs rssue
to come back to the Commission three months after the business opens with an assessment of
what has happened during this time.
Vice-Mayor Castro and Mayor Jones agreed to add the following condition to the original
motion: Appticant will come before the Commission 4 months after opening the restaurant

variances are for a building height of 157 feet; a 12-story building; a loading zone with I l' 4"
clearance; to allow l8 loading spaces, and 965 parking spaces. She clarified that the parking
study provided by the applicant supports the reduction in the parking and that the applicant
would provide an airport shuttle for guests. Ms. Lajoie pointed out that because ofthe proximity
to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Intemational Airport, and the proposed building height, they
were required to obtain airspace permits from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)

recommend approval of all requests, provided the variances and special exception uses are

Commissioner Anton commented on House Bill 5001 that targeted money for the construction of
the south runway airport expansion. He noted that due to the importance of this issue, he had
drafted a letter for the Mayor to sign tonight and send to Govemor Crist. Commissioner Anton
asked City Clerk Stilson to fax the letter to the Governor's office tomorrow moming and that the
hard copy follow by mail. He explained that this is an FDOT grant funded by the state tax on
aviation fuel. He pointed out that we thought that only a minimal amount of state funding would
be involved in the airport expansion.
It was the consensus of the Commission to send the Ietter to Govemor Crist.
Commissioner Flury suggested the cities of Hollywood and Davie be made aware of the content
ofthe letter to the Governor, regarding House Bitl 5001.
Commissioner Anton noted that the Melaleuca Homeowners Association meeting will be held
tomorrow, June I l, at 7:00 p.m. in the Commission Chamber at City Hall. He advised that

the first or second week in July, and 60-90 days later the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
should make a decision.
Commissioner Anton updated everyone on a recent meeting he had with DCOTA representatives
regarding the request by the City to have Dania Beach included in their proposed sign. DCOTA
has agreed to help the City build a gateway to Dania Beach sign as well as other marketing
strategies that will be beneficial to the City.
10.2 CommissionerBertino
Commissioner Bertino thought that retired General Employees should receive a COLA increase,
just as the FRS employees do. He explained that the General Employees who have retired under
the previous retirement system only receive the COLA increase if the plan meets the investment
mark. Commissioner Bertino pointed out that the plan has not met the eight percent mark since

2002 therefore, those who retired a long time ago have not received any COLA increase srnce
then. He felt the Commission should look into the problem to try to offer some financial relief to
those employees who worked for the City for so many years.
