She reported that County Commissioner Lieberman had supported mitigation amounts of only $45 to $85 million dollars, which was a low estimate based on only the 65 DNL line. She wanted to know the position of various Commissioners on the issue of Airport Expansion mitigation. Commissioner Chunn stated that he supported Melaleuca Gardens' residents in their struggle on this issue 100 percent and he opposed the expansion of the runway. Commissioner Flury felt the airport should not be expanded. Mayor McElyea stated that he had always supported Melaleuca residents and he supported "no expansion." Ms. Castro asked Mayor McElyea to get more involved and asked Commissioners if they knew anything about rezoning personal property and wondered if any of them owned any personal properties associated with the airport. Commission indicated in the negative. Mayor McElyea clarified that his company had interest there, but that his children ran the company. Commissioner Flury confirmed that no rezoning could take place without the authority of the City of Dania Beach. Vice-Mayor Mikes noted that Broward County was very aggressive and felt the County was misrepresenting many items. He felt the airlines did not seem to be interested in the project and noted that the North runway plan had less cost without condemning any homes. He reiterated his position that perhaps Broward County wanted to take the land away from Dania Beach. He noted that Dania Beach had the best attorneys and consultants to handle the situation. • MINUTES 2 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH Commissioner Anton stated that Dania's Growth Management Department has had to contract inspection services to Broward County and wanted residents to know that they did not need to be alarmed every time they saw Broward County vehicles in the area. He confirmed that if the County acquired property in that area, they would be responsible for the zoning of that area and could have the areas rezoned to commercial even though it was adjacent to residential areas. Commissioner Chunn reiterated his support of Dania neighborhoods on this issue. 6.3 Joe Van Eron, Triangle Village Civic Association, congratulated Melaleuca Gardens' residents for their newly formed association and their commitment and dedication to a potentially devastating issue. Mr. Van Eron stated that the Triangle Village Association was now almost one year old and noted that they were excited about their redevelopment. He stated their mission was to adopt a working relationship with the community in order to provide and promote the civic, economic, cultural, and recreational resources within its boundaries. He also noted that the goals were fourfold: 1) to create a vital plan for a village which balances the interests of the homeowners, the landlords, businesses, renters, and visitors; 2) to engage an experienced consultant to assist in conceptualizing a village plan; 3) to enlist the active participation of all residents and business owners in the redevelopment process, and; 4) to take appropriate action to make the village plan a reality. He outlined the steps that the association had taken over the past year noted their comprehensive neighborhood redevelopment plan was developed within the City's comprehensive plan. Mr. Van Eron reported that the Commission had addressed the traffic safety issue by hiring a consultant and requested that the Commission help fund that plan. 6.4 Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13th Avenue, commented on the vehicle purchase in Resolution 7.4 and asked to whom the vehicle was going. She questioned Ordinance 7.10 about an elected official being on the union retirement board; and on Resolution 9.8 she felt that the construction waste facility did not belong in Dania Beach. In reference to Resolution 9.9, she felt that Dania Beach Blvd. should not be expanded to six lanes.

Kenneth Land, City of Dania Beach Fire Chief, introduced Deputy Chief Michael Cassano. • Michael Cassano, Deputy Fire Chief, reported that the City currently contracted to the City of Hollywood for dispatch service and that Hollywood was switching to a print-track CAD system requiring Dania to convert to Motorola radio equipment. Deputy Chief Cassano explained that it was the same system currently in use by Broward County Dispatch. He noted that City and the Fire Department felt it was best to enter into an agreement with Broward County for dispatch services at no charge and use the money that they would have paid Hollywood dispatch to pay for the new radio equipment. Vice-Mayor Mikes confirmed that dispatch service would continue to be offered by Broward County on a "no-charge" basis. Deputy Chief Cassano stated that Broward County had provided services to ten cities for over 15 years and had not charged any extra for their service. He clarified that Broward County charged everyone in Broward County for dispatching service and some cities opted to take advantage of the service and others had not.

City Attorney Ansbro presented an Oath to everyone who expected to speak on the requests. 9.1 PL-69-03 — Request by Moises Gorin, on behalf of Villas at Oak Hammock, LLC., for a perimeter plat for property located at 5353 SW 40'h Avenue. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING "VILLAS AT OAK HAMMOCK" PLAT, SUCH PROPERTY BEING GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5353 S.W. 40TH AVENUE, IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH AND • LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THIS ORDINANCE; ACCEPTING THE DEDICATION FOR PUBLIC USE OF MINUTES 7 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH ALL STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND ALLEYS AS SHOWN ON SUCH PLAT OF "VILLAS AT OAK HAMMOCK" PLAT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (SECOND READING) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance. Corrine Church, Principal City Planner, explained that this was a plat request and indicated that there were currently three existing structures on the site; at least two of which appeared to be vacant. She explained that the site was approximately five and one-half acres and was zoned RM-15 (residential multi-family) and that the land-use allowed the same. She described the area surrounding the property and reported that the park impact fees for this property were $51,340 and were required to be paid prior to the issuance of the building permit. City Planner Church explained that Staff had reviewed the plat and outstanding items were identified and listed as conditions. She stated that the Planning & Zoning Board had reviewed the item and recommended approval with the following Staff conditions: 1) Plat to show 15' perimeter utility easement; 2) Plat to restrict use to 27 townhouse units; 3) Plat to include all language required by Broward County; 4) City Commission must accept the appraisal dated December 29, 2003; and, 5) Payment of$51,340.00 for park impact fees. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing. In response to Commissioner Flury's question regarding Park Impact Fees and accepting land rather than money to provide green space, Community Development Director Lawrence Leeds explained that the code required 40 percent green space be provided and that the land dedication had not changed the green space requirement. He asked Kristen Jones to address the issue. Kristen Jones, Parks and Recreation Department, explained that the lot of 7,000 square feet was not a good place for a park or tot lot and indicated that staff were not available to supervise it. Commissioner Flury felt that was an unacceptable rationale for not preserving green space and noted that cities all over the country were preserving green space. Vice-Mayor Mikes agreed with Commissioner Flury and asked if the Commission could require an easement on the property for the association to assume liability and maintenance of it. City Attorney Ansbro explained the purpose of Park Impact Fees and stated that they could not use Park Impact Fees to return property to the people. After Vice-Mayor Mikes restated the question, City Attorney Ansbro offered to look into the issue. Director Leeds explained the ordinance structure and stated that the Commission could either require the 7,000 square-foot lot or the Park Impact Fee. He noted that if they required the developer to set aside the lot, it was in addition to the 40 percent green space requirement. He also noted that in order to provide the proper public access, the "tot" lot had to be located on 40th Avenue, which was not a good location. Vice-Mayor Mikes still wanted an oasis and was not concerned about the Park Impact Fees. Director Leeds stated that the developer had to show the park on the plat. MINUTES 8 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH • Commissioner Flury wanted to see some creative use of green space. Gary Bloom, GGB Engineering representing the applicant, explained the lengthy site plan review procedure they had gone through with City personnel. He felt that to bring this up at this late date created a hardship to the developer. Director Leeds clarified that the site plan had not been approved at this point. Engineer Bloom stated that the Staff had seen and reviewed the site plan and had recommended that the applicant pay the impact fees since they felt the 7,000 square feet could not have been used for a park. He indicated that now, at the second reading, it was too late to make those changes. He felt the property was useless to the residents, as well as, a burden for the City to maintain and thought the City benefited more from the payment of the impact fees. A motion was made by Mayor McElyea, seconded by Commissioner Chunn, to adopt the Ordinance on second reading with the following conditions: 1) Plat to show 15' perimeter utility easement; 2) Plat to restrict use to 27 townhouse units; 3) Plat to include all language required by Broward County; 4) City Commission must accept the appraisal dated December 29, 2003; and, 5) Payment of$51,340.00 for Park Impact Fees. Vice-Mayor Mikes accepted the gavel from Mayor McElyea, opened the motion up for discussion, and asked Commissioner Flury how she felt. Commissioner Flury did not wish to create a hardship for the applicant but stated that she would ® continue to bring this issue up in future projects. Director Leeds explained that the applicant had no assurance of Commission action until the review and felt that his expectation that he would not have the land dedicated was incorrect and his desire to move ahead with the site plan before he received plat approval was done at his own risk. In response to Commissioner Anton's question, Director Leeds stated that his office had recommended the collection of the fee instead of requiring the land because of the small size of the land and liability the City had for the property. Commissioner Anton suggested that in future cases the client should be made aware beforehand that green space may be required by the Commission. He asked the city attorney to review whether or not the City could control the land and turn it over to the development for maintenance. City Attorney Ansbro stated that a professor was being hired to review impact fees and that this issue would be brought to his attention and that other Cities' handling of "vest pocket" parks would be investigated. Vice-Mayor Mikes suggested that the city attorney research what other municipalities did in these cases. MINUTES 9 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH The motion passed on the following 5-0 roll call vote: Mayor Anton —yes Vice-Mayor Mikes—yes Commissioner Chunn —yes Mayor McElyea— yes Commissioner Flury —yes Vice-Mayor Mikes returned the gavel to Mayor McElyea. 9.2 PL-57-03 — Request by Daniel A. Fee, P.E., representing Habitat for Humanity, for a preliminary plat approval for the construction of 18 single family homes located on the south side of SW 45th Street between Ravenswood Road and SW 24th Avenue.

(SECOND READING) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance. • Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, described the location of the property off of SW 45th Street that had been obtained by Habitat for Humanity as a single-family residential subdivision. Director Leeds described the proposed plat of 18 single-family lots on a cul-de-sac and reported that the plat plan complied with the current zoning requirements of a Low 5 Residential. He indicated that the formula for the Park Impact Fee brought that amount to $21,600 and the City Commission had the option of accepting either the money or a land dedication of approximately 7,000 square feet. He noted that if the Commission decided to accept the funds in lieu of the land dedication, they had to accept the appraisal and the City had to make some technical changes. Director Leeds also stated that due to the location of the property, a new condition had to be added that the plat included language disclosing the proximity of this property to the South Runway and the noise levels of the possible South Runway extension. Director Leeds recommended approval subject to five conditions. Commissioner Anton was concerned that this project was in the 65 DNL zone and could be halted because of the airport expansion. Director Leeds explained that the City had not been given any specific geographical limits concerning the Airport Expansion and he did not know what to expect. Commissioner Anton was also concerned about Habitat for Humanity projects being funded by public funds and felt the airport issue needed to be resolved. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. • Erick Padron, 4572 SW 24th Avenue, stated that this plat was in his backyard and he had talked with Habitat for Humanity personnel and he had no major problem with the project. He was MINUTES 10 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH concerned about the airport issues and wondered if he should go ahead with the remodeling of his house. Commissioner Anton felt that residents in that area should go ahead with home improvements, but they should not do anything that might double the value of their homes. Faye Bartelmes, 214 SW 2nd Terrace, felt that Habitat for Humanity should be built there and it provided more voices against that airport. She appreciated the fact that poor people were being helped. Courtney Crushten, Habitat for Humanity, described the process that they had gone through to inform the public of this project. She noted that they were not funded with public money and described how the program worked. She reported that Broward County had assured them that this project was not affected by the airport. She noted that there was plenty of open space within the project and confirmed that no variances were requested. Commissioner Chunn reported that in areas where Habitat for Humanity had built homes, crime had been reduced and stated that he supported the project. Ms. Crushten reported that they had negotiated an easement with Broward County and clarified that they preferred to pay the impact fees than to dedicate land. Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Chunn, seconded by Commissioner Flury, to • adopt the Ordinance on second reading with the following five conditions: 1) City Commission accept the submitted appraisal dated December 29, 2003; 2) Payment of 21,600.00 for payment of park impact fees; 3) Change signature title for Planning and Zoning Advisory Board to "Chairperson;" 4) Survey to be revised to reflect all encumbrances of record; and 5) Plat include language disclosing the proximity of this property to the South Runway and the noise levels of the possible South Runway extension.

(SECOND READING) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance. • MINUTES 11 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reminded the Commission that this was the second reading of four Ordinances, which City Attorney Ansbro had requested be dealt with individually. Director Leeds explained that the first Ordinance amended the list of permitted and special exception uses within the City's "C" districts. He reported that those changes included the following: 1) prohibiting certain uses that were not supportive of the Community Redevelopment District along US 1 and the Dania Beach corridor, 2) allowing assembly, repair, and fabrication of pre-manufactured home furnishings (art objects, clothing, leather goods, and jewelry) within the same area, the total square footage devoted to this are be no more than 1,000 square feet per store; 3) outdoor restaurant seating would require special exception approval; 4) allowing outdoor storage as a special exception in district C-4 only.

Property located between SW 30th Avenue and SW 261h Terrace, south of 1-595 and directly south of the Isgette's Lake Plat. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE ZONING APPEAL REQUEST SUBMITTED BY JOHN C. RAYSON, ESQ. REPRESENTING CHARLES GUSMANO AND THE LAWRENCE BLAIR ISGETTE ESTATE, FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED BETWEEN SW 30TH AVENUE AND SW 26T" TERRACE, SOUTH OF 1-595 AND DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE ISGETTE'S LAKE PLAT, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Resolution. Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reviewed the background of the March 1998, Sun Recycling site plan approval and described the operation of this construction/demolition waste recycling facility at 3251 SW 26th Terrace. He noted that, at the • time of approval, the area was zoned Broward County M-2 (Medium Industrial) and in August 2000 all M-2 properties were rezoned to Industrial-Research-Office-Marine (IROM). He MINUTES 15 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH explained that the IROM district specifically prohibited "solid waste transfer, processing, recycling, or disposal facilities" and indicated that the existing recycling operation was a legal, non-conforming use and could not be expanded. Director Leeds stated that the applicant had requested permission to expand the recycling operation to allow the deposit of fill in the Isgette Lake and he felt that this was an unlawful expansion of a non-conforming use and could not be allowed. Director Leeds explained that the applicant was appealing this decision and indicated that if the Commission granted the appeal, it extended the life of the existing recycling operation, which created airborne dust and debris. He stressed that the purpose of IROM zoning encouraged uses that were conducted within enclosed buildings and which had limited impact outside of the buildings. Director Leeds noted that if the Commission granted the appeal, the applicant had to obtain consent of all parties who had interest in the common lake area. He further explained the applicant's past history of code violations and recommended that the appeal be denied purely from a zoning standpoint. Commissioner Anton was concerned that filling in the lake complicated the flooding problem in that area. Vice-Mayor Mikes stated he was opposed to this project from the very beginning and recalled complaints from neighboring businesses. He indicated that he opposed the facility and felt the sooner it was out of there, the better. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Charles Brady, John Rayson Law Offices, read a portion of a letter from Sun Recycling stating the benefits the City experienced including the following: 1) the applicant's intention to fill the lake with clean fill in accordance with the DPEP and DEPA; 2) the applicant intended to develop in accordance with the City code of Dania Beach specifically section 28.120 in chapter 27; 3) the applicant expressed the desire to enter into a development agreement with the City, which would allay any apprehensions regarding what would be developed on it. The letter stated that the Staff analysis was correct to point out that expanding the applicant's current use to the appeal parcel expanded the non-conforming use, however, the applicant did not intend to expand the current operation to the appeal parcel. The letter further stated that the applicant understood the prohibition set forth in section 27.30 of the City Code of Dania Beach. Attorny Brady stated that by allowing the infill of the lake with the applicant's clean, properly-regulated, and tested fill following goals would be accomplished for the City: increase the tax base, increase ad valorem taxes, spur economic growth in the IROM district, develop in accordance with the purpose of the IROM district, and develop projects that the City Commission of 2000 had designed the IROM district for. He stressed that traffic would not be increased, the fill was obtained from the current site, and the non-conforming use would not be expanded. Mr. Brady noted that in 1993, Broward County had approved the filling of the lake project and that the applicant, by coincidence, happened to be the owner of the property to the North. He stressed that the appeal property would be filled pursuant to regulations and it created developable land for the City. Philip Medico, Sun Recycling and Southern Waste Systems, felt it was important for the Commission to understand the position of the company. He stated that the facility was a permanent construction and demolition debris facility accompanied with a permanent lake fill. He reported that they were properly permitted by Broward County DPEP and the Department of Environmental Protection through the State of Florida. He stressed that they processed only unearthed material and noted that Sun Recycling was the largest processor of construction and 0 demolition debris in the State of Florida. He indicated that they were a responsible facility with MINUTES 16 MARCH 23, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH the best available technology in the marketplace and complied with all state statutes and governmental regulations. He assured the Commission that the company was not expanding their facility and reiterated the benefit that the City would accomplish in having the lake filled properly. Vice-Mayor Mikes stated that he was very leery of continuous fill operations and the ability to police them and was concerned about the flooding of the area if the lake was filled in. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn, to deny the appeal and support the staff recommendation. Mayor McElyea and City Attorney Ansbro indicated that this was a public hearing and that the other people waiting to speak must be heard before the motion could be addressed. Norman Leonard, on behalf of the people selling the land, stated that the land had previously been authorized to be filled. He noted that Sun Recycling had requested to fill this land and indicated that they were in compliance with all the rules and regulations of Broward County. He stressed that if Sun Recycling filled the lake, no additional truck traffic would be coming into the area. John Naser, an attorney representing the owners of the property South and East of the subject parcel, stated that they had no objection to the request. Dr. Medico invited Vice-Mayor Mikes to visit the facility at any time and assured the Commission that there were no violations. He felt the Commission should consider the private property • owner's rights to have the lake filled and assured the Commission that they were not a slip-shod operation.
