Minutes of Regular Meeting 5
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 25,2006—7:00 p.m.
Corinne Church, City Planner, advised the change would rezone the vacant property from IROC
to IROM. The change is requested because IROC does not allow storage as a permitted use,
which is allowed in IROM. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval. The
property will be a self-storage property with retail on the first floor. She indicated variances
would be needed during the site plan process, including landscape setback, pervious area waiver,
and parking for the warehouse portion of the building.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, advised the applicant revised the
building elevations to add windows in the upper levels of the five story building that resembles
an office building. The building will be located 60'-70' from Stirling Road.
Bonnie Miskel, Attorney for the applicant, noted this is not the typical self-storage facility; all
access will be contained within the building, with 15,000 square feet of retail wrapping around
the sides. The project has been completely revamped to resemble an office building. They will
return for site plan and variance requests. She wanted to address that the parking variance would
be for the storage facility only; the parking requirements for the retail will be met. She indicated
the City does not have parking standards for this type of self-storage facility. She noted the
impact on the neighbors would be low, and would produce good tax benefits for the City.
Mayor Flury noted she does not have a problem with the parking because the storage business
does not generate a lot of traffic. She noted the.property has a lot of trees and hopes they will be
• kept on the property.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or
opposition, she closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Bertino questioned if the change in zoning would be detrimental to our highway
in the future.
Director Leeds responded no.
Commissioner Castro motioned to approve Ordinance #2006-025, on first reading;
seconded by Commissioner Bertino. The motion carried on the following 4-1 Roll Call
vote:
Commissioner Bertino Yes Vice-Mayor Anton Yes
Commissioner Castro Yes Mayor Flury Yes
Commissioner McElyea No

ORDINANCES, TO PROVIDE FOR PERMITTED USES, SPECIFIC EXCEPTION USES, REQUIRED
CONDITIONS AND AREA REQUIREMENTS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY;FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST READING)
Minutes of Regular Meeting 6
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 25,2006—7:00 p.m.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Ordinance#2006-629.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, noted a commitment was made by
former City Manager Flatley when this property was annexed in 1990. In 2000-2002 the City
changed the zoning for all industrial and commercial districts in the City. Mr. Bigger requested a
zoning category intended for the Marina Mile district. Director Leeds believes this is a good
zoning district for this area only. The City would not rezone any of the surrounding parcels; it
would be the responsibility of the property owners. He noted staff recommends approval, and it
would not affect any existing non-conforming uses.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
Margaret Crockerson, Executive Director of the Marina Mile Association, commented there
should be few properties that request the zoning change. She thanked City staff for working on
the change.
Alan Gabriel, Attorney representing Pipewelders Marine, is concerned that the marina use will
not be allowed to continue at its existing location. They do not wish to be a non-conforming use.
Their concern is the distance requirements to a residential land use area.
Director Leeds commented the setback requirements in IROM requires residential land use
designation, and nothing in this area'has a residential land use designation, nor would he support
any change to residential land use designation. There is potential for hotel construction in
commercial property, which would not affect Mr. Gabriel's client. In response to the second
question regarding setbacks under IROM, Director Leeds noted our residential spacing
requirements only applies to property in the City, not to properties in other cities. The residential
use near Pipewelders Marine is located in the town of Davie. The zoning change would allow
uses previously permitted under the County Land Use designation.
Commissioner Bertino commented the area is currently an industrial setting, and he did not hear
any objectionable business uses that would be allowed.
Vice-Mayor Anton wanted to hear from Mr. Bigger.
Mr. Bigger noted the current zoning does not allow uses that previously were permitted under the
County zoning, such as displaying boats and vehicles. He would like to have the same property
rights he had before annexation into the City.
Vice-Mayor Anton agreed there was nothing objectionable in the allowable uses. He does not
have a problem with the zoning change.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 8
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 25, 2006—7:00 p.m.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, advised the property was previously
occupied by the Aqua Isles Mobile Home Park. The site contained 100 mobile homes, most of
which have been moved. The new development would be 127 townhouses with a single entrance
on Griffin Road. He noted the City's Consultant is comfortable that enough drainage
infrastructure is provided on the property. The developer would like to duplicate the gate at
Cocoplum and Harbour Isles. He stated the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval,
subject to conditions being resolved before site plan permit issuance. He advised the issue of
Park Fees needed to be decided tonight by the Commission.
Bonnie Miskel, Attorney for the applicant, noted they have appeared before the Commission
several times on this project. She stated they do not object to any of the staff recommendations.
She noted the dedication on Griffin Road, on their parcel, exceeded most of the parcels to the
east and west, it actually exceeds the trafficway plan. She indicated that Broward County would
not object to an abandonment because the portion of Griffin Road in front of the property is built
out. The goal is to create privacy with the wall. The entry gates are not on Griffin Road, they
are located within the interior of the property.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or
opposition, she closed the Public Hearing.

City Attorney Ansbro commented the request is from Attorney Tim Ryan. The building of the
adjoining property encroaches onto the City's property. The business has expressed a desire to
purchase the property, so Attorney Ryan suggested we consider the sale. City Attorney Ansbro
noted we would need to have the property appraised, and the purchaser would need to pay at
least 90%of the appraised value.
Vice-Mayor Anton suggested maintaining the property and leasing it to the business because we
have had problems with this business establishment in the past.
City Attorney Ansbro responded the building is already located on part of the property. He
indicated we could deed restrict the property. He noted there are liability issues if the City
maintains the property.
Vice-Mayor Anton suggested a hold harmless agreement.
City Attorney Ansbro will look into deed restrictions.

investigate lease options.
