Since its founding almo$ thi(y years ago, the FAU Depanmenr of Ocean
Engineering has *eadlly grown in size and academic stature and is poised for
even Sreater trowlh and success with the establishrnent of a world-class research
faciliry laboratory with superior access to nearshore and offuhore waters.
The Depanment cunently has a staff of 18 researchers and lS suppo.t staff
working on a variety of underwater technology res€arch projects. The
Depanment's budget has expanded rapidly in recent years to approximately $5
million for payroll, in$rumentation purchases and operaliry expens€s; and is
expected to continue to increase in the future, particularly if &alech becomes
a r€ality. ln addition to the Departrnent of Ocean Engineering, the University's
NASA-+onsored advanced reearch laboratory in high definition television,
another of FAU'S core technology research programs, will also be located at
*2Tecla
FAU'S core technology research programs are supportd by grans and
assignmens fiom the Natiooal Science Foundation, the United States Navy,
the National Aeronautics and Space Administsation ('NASA') and the National
Oceanognphic and Atnrospheric Mminisration CNOeAl. Ttrese grants and
assiprnents arE erp€cted !o epard in the fuure as miliary ryerding shifts o
a new emphasis on shared technology development between dle military the
Frivate sedor ard the academic cornmonity. Saleclrwill greatly enhance FAU's
ability to co.npete for funding and to build on its crccesse of the lasr twe y
years. Not only will Seeledl be home o fac{lty researchers of national and
internatinnal *arue, Seelcdl will also be a clasgoom ard laboraory fa *r&rts

The SeaFair marina offers ready access to researdr vessels, and cable and pipe
connections to reef areas will allow Se:lecfi rcsearchers to use fiesh seawatef
in their work and to use remae sensing da/ic€s to ,nonitor ofrhore conditions"
Although there is no visible evidence of drem, the Depart nent of Ocean
Engineering has installed similarfresh seawater lines and remote sensing cables
at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in the Gty of Boca Raton which run frorn
the Natute Center, under AIA and a very popular public beach, to the Atlantic
Ocean.
Local/Regional Signifi cance
The City of Dania's beach is one of rhe City's most
imponant assets. The beach is a remarkable
anraction which s€rves as a recreational resource
for the residens of the City and as an imponant
loudst destination. The redevelopmmr of the City's
pier will greatly enhance the value of the Dania
beach to the Gty and its cirizens. The Dania beach
is, how€r,ver, more than iust a beach- tt is a location
which is literally surrounded by the marine
environment and public facilities &voted to the
study or use of that environmenL Saledr offers
FAU and the City of Dania the opportunity to
become the focal point for these resources and
activities.

fF THE CENTER
The conversion of SeaFair into Sea Ieclr gives the
City a second chance to take advantage of the
SeaFair site, a second chance which is potentially
even more beneficial than the original concept-
&eIeclr will:
/ provide for the physical renovation of SeaFair/ help create a -nse of momentum and
Pro$ess at the City of Dania beach/ reinforce the City's inve5tment by bringint
workers and visitors to the beachfront/ put Dania "on the map' as a focal point
of Broward County's maritime industries/ create job6 and olher economic opportunities
G\
trrrrr atrrtat..lE:
ln addition, the e*ablishment of sea fecr, opens uP the possibility that FAU's
annual submarine races, an event that has Senerated national media attention,
could be moved to the Dania beach, giving the City of Dania an oPpo(unity to
be host to an annual event of local, regional and national significance.

State Significance
As a maritime state, ocean engineering and lechnology will be an important
pa( of Florida's econoniy in the next century. The world's oceans are among
very fuw rernaining fiontiers. Florkla's moderate year-round climate and sp€rior
access to th€ Culf of Mexico, the Caribbean and the high seas pus the Sate in
an advantageous pooition in the next century. Leade6hiP in ocean engineering
and technology is a ke), !o dle State's ability !o capitalize on iB natu6l advantaSes
and the well-knosn direct arid irdirect benefits of a world class marine research
laboratory like Wmds tlole or the ScriPF6 lnstitute.
National Significancc
There are also benefiB to the nation as a whole which can flow fiom the
development ol fuTedt National security and economic interesu require
thar the United States maintain a modem, high-technoloty maritime caPacity
which in tum will depend on the kind of advanced ocean and engineering
researdr and tedrnology &velopment that will be conducted at Sc.Iecrr. Much
of the research proposed !o be conducted at the Center will be supported by
such national institutions a5 the U.5. Navy, NOAA and NAS,{ The DePart nent
of Ocean fugineering's recent success in attractin8 research assignmmts and
gran6 confirms that the saff and faculty of the Depanmen! with the ad!"antages
of SezTedt, can be an important part of the nation's future.

PARTNERSHTP WITH THE CITY
The SeaFair site is currently under long term lease to The Ara8on Croup. The City
and Florida Atlantic University must netotiate an agreement whereby the City's
exisring financial exPectationt under the lease are met, while eliminating The
Araeo; Group's inlerest in the site. The resuhing PannershiP between the City of
Oariia and Flbrida Atlantic Univesity will bring the prestige of an intemational
instituion to Dania, enhance the local business environment, and allow Sealech
to become a Part of lhe community.
Dirac{ Bcnefits for thc CitY
Direcr benefiB include parking revenues the City cunently receives from meters
located at the Beach and marina revenues from the lease with the City' These wo
revenue sorirces could continue following conversion to Seledr
MASTER PIAN
SeaFair is an ideal location for Sealedl, with
immediate access to the nearshore and deeP
ocean environrnents through Pon Everglades"
lndeed, SeaFair is litenlly surounded by the
marine environment - the focus of Salcch's
rcsearch. The undiEurbed banier island beadres
in Florida in John U. Lloyd State Park, the Wec
Lake Wetlard Preserve, shal low water rce6, he
gulfstream, and the deep ocean are all
immediately accessible from the site. Port
Everglades, is Foreign Tnde Zone, and Fon
Lauderdale-Fbllprod lntenntbnal AirPort ate
all minutes from SeaFair by land or water.
The site is also ideal because it is surrounded
by maritime industry and marine science
facilities, including lhe Nova Oceanographic
Center, the U.S. Navy South Florida Testing
Facility, and the DNR Environmental Education
Facility in John U. Lloyd State ParL
A portion ofthe existing marina could be easily
converted into a home for the University's
existing and future research vessels. The
nrooring along tlre lntracoaEal waterway wor.lld
allow deep sea research vehicles o have direa
access to the Center.
lndirect Beneflts ,or thc City
For the City of Dania, the establisirment of a world<lass ocean engineering and
technolog:y laboratory is an oppoftunity to broaden the City's economic base and
to assumi'a leadership role in rcgard to one ot Broward County's most imPortant
industries. The Gty of Dania is already home to a number of imponant maritime
businesses, and the edablishment of a world-class research center is an opPortunity
to broaden the CiVs industial and tourisn economies- lndeed, with careful
community planning and developmenr, and creative Promotion, Saeledr could
be a substantial boon to the GtY.
Spin-off brsiness generation
ti is well-documen'ted that thefe is a direct conelation between university research
fucilities and technology based economic developmenL- lndeed, the conelation
benreen the two and icommunity's perceived quality of life is striking' The key
to economic dsvelopment is the presence of technological research which can
be translated inro commercially valuable applications. Given lhat fte marine
environment is one of few emaining 'frontiers' of the future, technologies
developed at Sa7cdr have teal Potential for economic develoPment and seatioo
of local jobs.
Dania Beach as m Attradion
The Cit/s beach is already a tourig destination and the development of a world-
,.nor.rr,ed o.""n engineering and technology center could sub{antially advance
the City's tourism ionomyi The DePartment of Ocean Engineering is already
oploring the po6sibility of esablistring a visitor cenler at rhe laboratory whete
visitors iould'be able o see leading-edge marine technology. ln addition, the
Department is proposing an offshore remote monitoring facility-wherc visitors to
SezTedr could see'and h]ear otrhore reeft by way of the da,reloping technology of
urderuater mioophones and high definition television ca,neras. The site could
serve as the location for firturc srcns such as human powered submarine nces,
and technology dernonstrations related o specific research loPics such as comPuter
conrolled uri&rwater tobots or autonomous underwater vehicles' Saleci would
also introduce a number of Personnel o the beachfronL enhancing existing and
proposed concessidrs (such as the pier).
Conclusion
The irony is rhat SeaFair's lack of economic success has created a nanow window
of opponunity for the City of Dania to be recognized as a leader in Broward
Coun!, and as the home to a r,vorldclass researdl center with significant economic
development potential.

Dania, Florida 33004
Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and Commissioners:
When Florida Atlantic University first approached the City of Dania with our
desire to locate its ocean engineering research center at the old SeaFair property in
Dania, we promised to spend as much time as possible in the community describing
the project and answering citizen's questions.
Over the past several weeks Florida Atlantic University has meet with
nunerous individuals, groups, public information outlets such as local newspapers
and cable television and anyone else who may have expressed an interest in the
project. These meetings and speaking engagements included the Dania Senior
Citizen's Organization, the Dania Democratic Club, the Dania Chamber of
Commerce, the Dania Lions Club, the Dania Rotary Club, the Dania Women's Club,
the Griffin Road Civic Association and other meetings with business owners in
Dania. Last evening a meeting was scheduled with additional community leaders,
but cancelled due to the storm. We are in the Process of rescheduling that meeting
at the first agreeable date.
During the process of meeting with citizens we have presented information
on the University itself, as well as our hopes for revitalization of this property and
how we would interface with the surrounding Dania beach facilities and activities.
The resporse has been positive and, while questions always need answering, I
believe the general public has expressed suPPort for Florida Atlantic University
becoming part of the Dania community.
At this time, FAU would like to begin neSotiations with the City of Dania on
a long term lease of the property which is currently contained in the Aragon
Properties lease at SeaFair. We also propose to rename the project SeaTech, to
reflect the nature of the technology based engineering research to be produced at this
facility.

Financial Issues
The issues most commonly raised in public information meetings has been
the replacement of lost revenues. The University, as a public education entity,
would not pay property taxes. Currently, approximately $40,000 annually is
generated by property taxes at this location. An additional $40,000 or so is generated
by lease payments presently.
The University proposes that these dollars be replaced to Dania by dollars
generated on site at this facility tfuough the marina and parking facilities' As the
new Dania pier and restaurant are completed the beach becomes a busier, more
attractive destinatio& and additional public parking and marina facilities will be in
high demand. The University facility will not require a high number of parking
spices and proposes tfuough negotiations to return a substantial number of spaces
now under lease directly to the City of Dania.
Additionally, we proPose that the City retain control of a majority of the
marina facilities currently in use to generate a revenue stream for the City.
Attached are preliminary figures projecting a revenue stream from both parking
and marina operation. These figures, even the most conservative estimate, more
than offset any lease or property tax Payment loss to the City, should the University
Iocate its facility at this site.
Communitv Facilitv Issues
Florida Atlantic University ProPoses to become a Partner with City in
community events and generation of visitation to the beach area. In addition to
visitors generated by the SeaTech facility itself, our Present renovation plans foresee
retention of meeting and conference sPace on the second floor of this site. Meetings,
lectures, concerts and similar events will become commonplace at SeaTech.
We propose to negotiate a partnership with the City of Dania on planning for
limited use of this facility under City sponsorship.
We also understand that it would be advantageous for the City to build upon
its substantial beach investment with additional amphitheater or a similar facility at
the beach. We believe the ideal placement for this facility is immediately north of
the pier site on land which is presently privately owned. The University pledges to
work with the City in investigating ways to work through state soulces to obtain the
land for public use and secure construction funds for such a facility.
Economic Development Issues
High technology centers such as SeaTech have a direct, positive impact on
economic development and jobs in their host communities. This has been Proven
by facilities such as Wood's Hole in Massachusetts, Scripps Institute in Southern
California and others. SeaTech will be involved in the development of core
technologies, many of which will have commercial applications and create
opportunities for economic development
We believe that these long-term benefits to the City should be given serious
consideration in your decision-making Process.
Florida Atlantic University looks forward to working with you in resolving
the particulars of this lease in the coming weeks. Engineering studies of the
property are currently underway, and using the State of Florida appraisal Process, a
iormal appraisal of the facility and leasehold is anticipated to be undertaken in late
December. The appraisal Process and resulting negotiations with the facility owner,
Aragon Properties, will proceed as a public Process.
Please let me know of your questions.
Sincerely,
CO
