4880 SW 28 Avenue and 4901 SW 27 Terrace from Two-Family Residential District (RD-8000) and Single-
Family 6000 Residential District (RS-6000), respectively, to Planned Residential Development District
(PRD-1) (Continued from January 21st meeting)
City Attorney Boutsis swore in anyone speaking tonight on this public hearing agenda item. Planner Jessica Mackay
presented a PowerPoint presentation starting with the background of both properties. She explained that they were
adjacent to each other and encompassed just over one-half acre and she gave the project background information
which included violations on the properties. There was a community meeting and explained what was discussed and
that the City received three calls regarding parking and traffic. Staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning
Board recommend approval tonight to the City Commission. Before the applicant’s representative made his
presentation, Deputy Director Lajoie clarified that there were permits pending approval to cure the previously-
mentioned violations. Attorney Rod Feiner represented the applicant and gave a PowerPoint presentation detailing
the project and what that would entail. Board Member De Las Salas ’ questions regarded items like but were not
limited to when the properties were purchased, the existing gym amenity was located in the building, and the pool
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 2 February 18, 2026
being on the top floor was changed. He asked and was answered if Attorney Feiner would agree that his client created
the conditions for which they wanted what they were requesting now and discussion ensued starting with flood zones,
flooding, trench dug for flooding purposes, exfiltration trench, number of units and residents, masonry wall on south
side, location of pool equipment, legalized driveway, location for no-parking signs, and conceptual site plan not site
plan with notes given to the board. Board Member Wright asked about the existing elevation of the ground and the
dog park area for which the attorney and his planning consultant answered. Board Member Wright spoke about the
problem with flooding to neighboring areas and explained about water distribution from the neighbor’s property which
was flooding into other people’s homes and that was why he was asking about fill. Chair Robertson asked and the
attorney answered about a retention pond in an area of the Dog Park and the flooding discussion continued. Board
Member Wright felt that developers raised their property up which caused flooding for other people. As there were
no other board questions/comments, the Chair called for Public Comments limited to three minutes.
Jennifer Stewart, resident, testified that water was still running into her property. She was representing several
neighbors in the community and provided packets to the board and had a summary of complaints that she read into
the record. She said the complaints were also from tenants in the building. Kirsty Forgie, resident, wanted to clarify
that the driveway was really a parking lot and spoke about what happened when it rained. There was a picture of the
water draining off of it in the packet. Robert Kirchgraber, resident, said his concern was parking but the attorney
could not answer him regarding the number of parking spaces for this project but said that they were code compliant
with parking. Mr. Kirchgraber felt they needed parking, bigger setbacks and water management. As there were no
other public comments, Attorney Feiner was granted time to state his comments on what was discussed. Chair
Robertson asked about the picture with the cars parked, if it was from the restaurant or an event. Kirsty Forgie
answered it was from an every-morning event at 7:00AM. Board Member De Las Salas asked about other pictures in
the packet. Board Member Wright stated what he felt would happen, if this project was approved. Attorney Feiner
answered Board Member Wright that there were 76 units in the complex which were a mix of one and two bedrooms.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to recommend denial of this item to the City Commission.
Discussion ensued: Board Member De Las Salas explained that he felt the petitioner at this point in time was a bad
neighbor. The motion for denial was seconded by Board Member Wright. Discussion ensued: Board Member
Roberts agreed with Board Member De Las Salas. Motion passed 4-1 (Chair Robertson voted against the denial).
2. TX-043-25: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting the adoption of amendments to the
City’s Live Local Act Development Standards.
Deputy Director Lajoie presented this agenda item with a PowerPoint presentation starting with background
information. She said tonight was to ensure this item was compliant with State Law. Staff recommended approval of
the Live Local Act amendments to ensure statutory compliance and constant administration. City Attorney Boutsis
explained how they changed the code in 2023 to be consistent with State Law. There were a few more amendments
but tonight reflected the most recent amendment communicated by the State. As there were no board
questions/comments, the Chair asked for public comments. Robert Kirchgraber, resident, asked about the City’s
control and City Attorney Boutsis explained that the only control the City had for building height and reduction in
parking was the airport because their regulations trump State Law. Allowable building height was discussed as well
as the fact that the City had to honor this State Law as the state mandated it for an attempt to cure affordable housing.
Mr. Kirchgraber expressed his opinion that he doesn’t want Dania Beach to change but rather to retain its uniqueness.
Board Member De Las Salas explained to Mr. Kirchgraber that the City’s hands were tied. Shawn Derosa, resident,
thanked the board for protecting the residents on Griffin Road tonight. He felt that when the board rubber stamped
something the City said was forced by the State, set a bad precedent. Your vote could be interpreted as if you were in
agreement and not that you were just agreeing because the City had no choice in the matter. He felt that the City
Commission should do the same. City Attorney Boutsis explained that if you did not like a law, petition your
legislature. On the other hand, she would not like to see the City sued by developers for not following State Law.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to approve this agenda item and was seconded by Board Member
Rauhe. Motion passed 4-1 (Board Member Wright opposed).
III. BOARD ITEMS

no other nominations and no objections, the motion was seconded by Board Member Rauhe. Motion passed 5-0.
Board Member De Las Salas was elected unanimously and by acclamation as Vice Chair.
IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Shawn Derosa, resident, spoke about being appalled at a City Meeting regarding bringing agriculture into the single-
family residential community. There was no community input, workshops or outreach. He felt this was not well
thought out. He hoped the Planning and Zoning Board would reconsider their vote on this matter. Dr. Nancy
Greenbarg, resident, was neither for or against this project but had concerns about chickens in backyards. She
discussed why the community was against this. She felt there was no forethought put into this. Robert Kirchgraber,
resident, said he was not for or against having chickens but felt it needed further research. Dogs and cats need a yearly
tag, and chickens need something as well.
MEETING ADJOURNED
As all business was completed, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:20PM by the Chair without objection.
