Health Center to work in conjunction with them to provide diabetes, breast
cancer, and HIV awareness along with possible blood testing. First Lady Gibson
sought also to provide nutritional information and reported that the Fire Marshal

5. PROCLAMATIONS: NONE
6. CITIZENS' COMMENTS:
6.1 Paolo DiFrancisci, Paolo's 3 Company at 242 E. Dania Beach Blvd., believed the
project on Dania Beach Boulevard was great for the City of Dania Beach and felt it would
bring revenue to the City and life to the street.
6.2 Eduardo Sanz, 4665 SW 34 Terrace, explained that he had bought his property in
1999 and a storm had caused the collapse of its foundation and the loss of his house. He
reported that after one-half years, while paying rent on a mobile home in addition to the
mortgage on his property, he finally had the money and approval to have his house
reconstructed. Mr. Sanz brought a map showing where his property was located on a dead
end street and indicated that the only thing holding up the construction was the requirement
is by the City to construct a sidewalk in front of his new house. He stated that it was the only
MINUTES 2 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
house on the street with a sidewalk and it was an expense he could not afford. He noted that
he had requested help from the Public Services Director.
Fernando Vazquez, Public Services Director, explained that the code required a new
sidewalk and agreed with Mr. Sanz that he lived on a dead end street and there was no
continuance of the sidewalk. He also clarified that there appeared to be a sidewalk on the
property on the north side of his property. He stated that he had not been there personally to
look at it and confirmed for Commissioner Flury that sidewalks were required for the new
construction on the street.
Vice-Mayor Mikes suggested the Building Department needed to look at it and perhaps have
it listed as a discussion item for next meeting.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, stated that they could not issue a
permit until he conformed to code.
Vice-Mayor Mikes suggested that the petitioner add the sidewalk on the plan in order to
obtain the permit and it would be discussed at the next meeting giving the Commissioners
and staff opportunity to have the situation reviewed.
Director Leeds noted that it would be listed on the agenda as a sidewalk waiver.
Vice-Mayor Mikes reiterated to the petitioner that the Commission could overrule staff at the
• next meeting, and they could not rule on it at this time under Citizens' Comments.
6.3 Patricia Tyra, 2912 SW 54 Street representing Estates of Fort Lauderdale, wanted to
thank the Dania Beach and Hollywood Fire Rescue Departments for their response during a
recent chemical spill in their clubhouse on April 22, 2004. She also thanked BSO, Public
Works, & Dania Beach Fire Rescue for today's assistance after a mini tornado hit a small
section of mobile homes on East Marina Drive. She further encouraged the Commission to
approve the portion of the new BSO contract that provided five new officers honoring
promises made during the annexation agreement.
6.4 Lisa Young, 124 S. Federal Highway and President of Dania Beach Heights Civic
Association, reported that they had filed their first grant with the Broward Beautiful Program
and presented a landscape rendering. She thanked Terrell McCombs for his design of the
landscape rendering and expressed appreciation to the Mayor for signing a letter of support.
She announced the grant requested from Broward Beautiful was $10,000 and thanked the
American Maritime Officers (AMO) for their contribution of $10,000. She stated that they
would know in October if Broward County approved the request.
6.5 Bonnie Mills, 4941 SW 44 Avenue, stated that she and her neighbors in Playland Isles
were concerned with the BSO contract and felt there was not enough policing in their area.
She noted that $92,000 per officer was high, but the fact remained that there was a policing
issue in the area. She indicated that drug deals in the neighborhood was a continuing
concern that had not been adequately addressed. She commented on the discussion of the
MINUTES 3 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
Fire Department site and noted that they had no park for their children. She suggested that if
• the property was not used to construct a firehouse, perhaps the area could be used for a
park. She also inquired about the status of the grant discussed several months ago for
lighting.
City Manager Pato stated that the County would consider the approval of the grant in
October and a timetable would be determined after that.
Commissioner Flury noted that the money had been budgeted over the next five years for the
lighting.
6.6 Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13t" Avenue, stated that she had a problem with Item 9.5
because Dania Beach Hotel had been a drug problem for years and it continued to go on
there. She felt that Melaleuca Gardens had become a drug habitat and wanted BSO to
patrol the area. She did not understand how people could say that Dania Beach was drug-
free when it was not. She thanked all for attending the airport meeting today.
6.7 Andrea Sims, 21 SE 13 Street, stated that her water usage continued to escalate over
two months until her water meter indicated that she and her husband, Donnie Sims, had
used 20,000 gallons of water in 20 days. She felt that this was impossible and stated that a
plumber had confirmed that there were no leaks. She reported that a new meter indicated
that they had used only 5,580 gallons over the past 40 days. She felt that they had paid over
$200 for the past two months and no one was willing to admit that it was due to a bad meter.
• She requested that someone help them because it was more than they could afford.
Mayor McElyea stated that he had already spoken to the City Manager and indicated that
because there were five Commission members, he could not do anything about the situation
by himself.
City Manager Pato stated that Finance Director Varney and Public Services Director
Vazquez were there to provide answers. City Manager Pato reported that the meter was
checked and calibrated and indicated that they had no way of determining if there was a leak
without proof by an independent, certified plumber. He felt that staff had gone above and
beyond the call of duty to determine that the meter was working properly. He suggested that
perhaps a neighbor had tapped in or there was a leak. He stressed that they had found
nothing wrong with the City's system.
Ms. Sims had letters from her landlord and plumber stating there was no problem and
described the measures they had taken to conserve water. She submitted the letters to the
City Manager.
The Sims confirmed for Vice-Mayor Mikes that they had occupied the property every day
during the time in question, having taken no vacation. They also reported they do not have
a sprinkler system in the house.
A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Flury, to split
MINUTES 4 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
the difference of the excess charges and the average bill between the Sims and the
City. The motion carried on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Anton — yes Vice-Mayor Mikes — yes
Commissioner Chunn — yes Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury — yes
6.8 Philomena Lennon, President of Friends of Paul Demaio Library,
commented on their opposition to agenda Item 9.6 and wanted assurance that
there would be a freestanding library somewhere Downtown in the future. She
requested that the Commission vote against Item 9.6.

9.1 VA-72-03 — Request by Charles Putnam & Associates, on behalf of Barry

property located on the north side of Dania Beach Boulevard
MINUTES 6 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
approximately 300 feet east of the Motel Six.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, APPROVING THE
VARIANCE REQUEST SUBMITTED BY CHARLES PUTMAN &
ASSOCIATES REPRESENTING BARRY N. MORRIS C/O OCEAN
DEVELOPMENT, LLC., FROM CHAPTER 28, ZONING, ARTICLE 5
SUPPLEMENTARY LOT REGULATIONS; FOR PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DANIA BEACH
BOULEVARD APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET EAST OF THE MOTEL SIX,
DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read title of the resolution.
Vice-Mayor Mikes, Commissioner Anton, and Commissioner Flury disclosed that
they had met with the developer to review the plan.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, gave the history of the
first hearing when the Commission had approved the PUD Master Plan that
proposed building on only 25 percent of the site and noted the changes to the
project that had been brought about to improve the architecture of the building
and increased front yard setback. He outlined the unique property conditions, in
that it was 950' from nearest developed site, and reported that the property was
the subject of an approved height variance back in 1987. He stated that the
Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of the variance with the
condition that the Commission be allowed to refine the architecture. Director
Leeds reported that staff recommended approval with the following conditions:
1) The Variance will expire in six months, and 2) The variance is subject to
additional site plan modification by the Planning & Zoning Board and the City
Commission.
Bonnie Miskel, Ruden McClosky, on behalf of the applicant, thanked staff for
spending the time to guide them through the process. She noted that this project
had evolved over the last 18 months and the building height had now been
reduced to 14 stories. She thought the project produced a landmark building that
the City could be proud of and introduced the developer and the architect for their
presentations.
Allen Ojeda, developer, thanked Staff for their continued help and noted that he
and his staff had been working on this project since April of last year. He
explained that the 288 units would be located on three to four acres and the
remaining 16 acres remained perpetually undeveloped as a preserve area. He
reported that the estimated sell-out price would be approximately $100 thousand,
benefiting the City with real estate taxes. He understood the importance the
building had as a landmark. He felt that the Commission wanted a beautiful
building and he appreciated their participation in the process. He was committed
MINUTES 7 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
to the project and seeing it approved.
• Scott Bakos, Architect, stated that he had listened to what the Commission
discussed at the previous hearing and grouped them into the following three
directives: 1) a style of architecture that everyone was proud of, 2) refine the
massing, the movement, and play of the facade, and 3) enhance the landscaping
along Dania Beach Boulevard. He felt that the anticipated spectacular views
were vital to this project and explained that the ground floor was designed to
keep vehicles on one side of property; pedestrians on the other. He noted that
they had studied a Mizner-style of architecture and had developed a plan that
incorporated these elements. He showed how they had applied Mizner principals
to the project and described concepts and features designed in the base, middle,
and top. He noted that arch windows, barrel tile roof, and covered walkways had
been included in the design and noted the series of tower-like corner conditions
that broke up the elevations of the building. He noted that there were seven
different balcony types and a variety of archways within the project. He
presented a study model of the project and noted that the lush, tropical,
recreational deck was 60' above ground and provided spectacular views to the
ocean. He reported that they had enhanced the landscaping to create a buffer
between the building and Dania Beach Boulevard. He noted that the distance
from the property line had been increased 18 feet and an additional layer of
landscaping had been included.
Vice-Mayor Mikes noted the drastic improvement of these renderings compared
with what was previously presented. He noted that he had initiated the height
restrictions, but felt that this was a unique site that could handle the height due to
the location and the provision of the conservation easement. He questioned who
was responsible for the conservation easement.
Bonnie Miskel stated that it was the joint easement between the State Water
Management District and DPEP.
In response to the Vice-Mayor concerns, Bonnie Miskel assured him that it was
beyond the County's sole authority.
In response to Vice-Mayor Mikes' question about landscaping on Dania Beach
Boulevard, Bonnie Miskel stated that they had contributed $50,000 towards that
landscaping.
Commissioner Flury agreed with the Vice-Mayor's observations and joked about
the architects hiring him because he had done such a nice job with this project.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13 Avenue, supported the project and wanted to see
it approved. She felt it was a quality project that Dania Beach needed.
MINUTES 8 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
John Bruckner, Meadowbrook Lakes, commented that the project was very
beautiful, but felt that if this was allowed, it was the beginning of making Dania
Beach look like A1A in Hollywood — a concrete canyon. He stated that he still
lived in his original home for 50 years and had watched greed and ignorance ruin
paradise.
Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the
public hearing.
Vice-Mayor Mikes stated that the proposed density was what was currently
allowed under code.
Director Leeds clarified that the overall density was lower than in Meadowbrooks.
In response to Commissioner Anton's question, City Attorney Ansbro stated that
if approved tonight, it did not set a precedent because this parcel was so unique.
Commissioner Anton stated that he was pleased to see the wetlands being
preserved.
Bonnie Miskel asked for clarification of the six-month expiration of the Variance.
Vice-Mayor Mikes noted that the intent of the staff was to make sure this was a
real project and only wanted to see progress.
Bonnie Miskel suggested the six-month expiration be tied to the complete site
plan submittal and not be so open-ended.
Vice-Mayor Mikes stated that the applicant was getting a unique height variance
and assured her that the Commission would support them in six months if they
showed progress.
Developer Ojeda stated that he could only give his word and felt that the only
way he could show progress was to submit the site plan. He indicated that he
needed less than six months to submit the site plan.
Vice-Mayor Mikes wanted to see progress after the site plan was submitted.
Developer Ojeda reiterated his commitment to the project.
In response to Vice-Mayor Mikes' question about assurance that the project
continued to show progress, City Attorney Ansbro proposed extending the
Variance an additional six months when the developer returned with the site plan.
Director Leeds noted that if the developer submitted a site plan, it would take
MINUTES 9 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
staff another four to six months to complete the review process.
® Vice-Mayor Mikes stated that if approved for six months and Director Leeds
agreed that appropriate progress was made, that the Commission would have
another 6 months approval granted.
Director Leeds was comfortable with that.
A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner
Chunn, to adopt the resolution approving a six-month, renewable height
variance and that, once appropriate progress had been made, the Variance
would be extended six months. In addition, the developer agreed to the
voluntary contribution for Dania Beach Boulevard landscaping. The
motion carried on the following 4-1 roll call vote:
Commissioner Anton— yes Vice-Mayor Mikes — yes
Commissioner Chunn — yes Mayor McElyea — no
Commissioner Flury — yes
9.2 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 28 "ZONING" OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, BY

ERROR IN THE CITY'S TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN
REGULATIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(SECOND READING)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
City Attorney Ansbro noted that he had suggested this ordinance after a
comprehensive sign ordinance rewrite indicated that a provision was missing
from the sign code. The ordinance restored the eight-foot square limitation for
political signs.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or
opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner
Chunn, to adopt the ordinance on second reading. The motion carried on
the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Anton — yes Vice-Mayor Mikes — yes
Commissioner Chunn — yes Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury — yes

DATE. (SECOND READING)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, described the property
located east of Southeast 5th Avenue, south of Dania Beach Boulevard, and
north of Sheridan Street. He noted the appropriate designation of the property
was conservation and recommended approval. He noted that both the Planning
and Zoning Board and the Florida Department of Community Affairs had
approved it.
Vice-Mayor Mikes had encouraged the County to buy these parcels years ago.
He wanted cooperation with them concerning the storm water problems on
Southeast 5th Avenue with possibly installing some type of water retention area
on the east side of 5th Avenue.
Director Leeds did not know if it could be used for a storm water retention area.
Fernando Vazquez, Public Services Director, clarified that a past study
recommended the use of a spreader swale as a retention area and noted that it
required a realignment of 5th Avenue.
Vice-Mayor Mikes did not remember the study and felt that the City was doing
the County a favor. He suggested contacting the County and tabling this item
until the next meeting.
City Manager Pato noted that he had a meeting scheduled with the County on
June 29, 2004, and wanted an opportunity to discuss it with them at that time.
A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner
Flury, to table the item until the July 27th Regular Commission Meeting.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or
opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing.

9.4 SA-33-04 — Request by Domenic Apa, on behalf of Victoria L'Originale to
allow two (2) signs on an internal wall and one (1) sign permitted on street
frontage only, for property located at 212 N. Federal Highway.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, APPROVING THE
SIGN ADJUSTMENT REQUEST SUBMITTED BY VICTORIA
UORIGINALE, FROM CHAPTER 28, ZONING, ARTICLE 28, SIGNS,
SECTION 28.160 DOWNTOWN DANIA BEACH REDEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT REGULATIONS, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 212 NORTH
FEDERAL HWY., DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the resolution.
Corinne Church, Principal Planner, Community Development, stated that this
application concerned a sign adjustment and reported that the Planning & Zoning
Board had recommended approval of the resolution without the staff's
recommendations. She noted that the applicant requested two wall signs for
property located along North Federal Highway in the Downtown Dania Beach
Redevelopment Area. She noted that the code allowed one sign per street
frontage facing the roadways, but the applicant requested a sign on each of the
north and south walls of the building because the location of the building was so
close to the roadway. She noted that both signs together met the square footage
allowed and that the only adjustment being requested was the placement of the
signage. She noted that the staff conditions had been addressed by the
applicant and that the pole sign on the property would be removed during
renovation. She noted that staff recommended approval of the request.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13th Avenue, asked if the signs' illumination affected
the neighborhood.
City Planner Church stated that the signs were not illuminated.
Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the
public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flury, seconded by Commissioner
Chunn, to adopt the resolution with the condition that the applicant
identifies when the pole sign is removed. The motion carried on the

9.5 SE-46-03 — Request by Bonnie Miskel, Ruden—McClosky, representing
Dania Beach Hotel, LLP, to extend the previously approved Special
Exception (Resolution #2003-169) for the allocation of 90 flexibility units to
construct a mixed use development. Property located at 180 East Dania
Beach Boulevard.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA,
APPROVING THE REQUEST SUBMITTED BY BONNIE MISKEL,
RUDEN-MCCLOSKY, REPRESENTING DANIA BEACH HOTEL, LLC.,
REQUESTING A SIX MONTH EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED SPECIAL EXCEPTION (SE-46-03 APPROVED BY
RESOLUTION 2003-169) TO ASSIGN 90 FLEXIBILITY UNITS TO
CONSTRUCT A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AT 180 EAST DANIA
BEACH BOULEVARD; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the resolution.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reported that in July 2003,
the Commission had granted a conditional, non-vested, six-month Special
Exception for 90 flex units to construct a mixed-use development at the Dania
Beach Hotel site. He stated that the approval had expired on January 8, 2004,
but the resolution provided that the applicant could request an extension if
submitted by that date. He read the list of conditions and stated that the City had
not received a parking traffic analysis, completed site plans, or architectural
plans. He explained the importance of determining how much of the historic
building would be preserved before the new building could be designed. He
noted that the traffic study, site plans, cost recovery fee, and the application for
the traffic way amendment had not been submitted. He stated that the applicant
indicated that a traffic way waiver was submitted to the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) and still had not been received. He indicated that the one
correction to staff report was that it was undetermined whether or not the
property needed re-platting, and noted that it was originally platted in 1925. He
stated that staff was concerned because 12 months had been given with no
progress made and stressed that staff recommended denial of the request.
Bonnie Miskel, Ruden—McClosky and representing Dania Beach Hotel, stated
that she had presented five projects to the City in the past two years and
stressed that the impediments associated with being Downtown were
. overreaching. She explained that the project was begun with high hopes that it
MINUTES 13 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
would sail through, but it has not. She reported that the following progress had
been made: they had met several times with City Planner Church and Director
Leeds in an attempt to determine what to preserve in the building, an architect
had been hired, and a traffic consultant had been secured. She also described
the following obstacles encountered by this project: her client could not get
definitive results from an engineering company to move the building; FDOT had
not given them a decision on the Right Of Way and had not provided much
assistance. She agreed with Director Leeds that they were not in a position to
give the City anything at this time because of other agencies and noted that the
applicant was just as frustrated as anyone in the lack of progress on this project.
She stated it could not be assumed that Downtown development took the same
amount of time as other developments elsewhere and stated that they were
within a few days of submitting a site plan. She requested time to fix the
problems.
Mr. Gabriel Salazar, architect, reported on the extra time that it had taken the
marketing consultants to determine the market and the delay being experienced
in their dealings with FDOT to determine Right of Way and traffic way. He noted
that the traffic study was completed in February and he had been working on a
.design for several months. He has targeted submittal of the site plan for 10-14
days and had a set of progress plans prepared. He asked for special
consideration and noted that they had designed all the units.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
Robert Turnston, 110 SE Park Street, stated that he had worked in Dania Beach
for 25 years as a mailman. He felt that this was a great production and noted
that the Dania Beach Hotel had not been taken care of as most historical
landmarks were. He felt its condition had nothing to do with low-income people or
crack people. He stated that Dania Beach Hotel needed to have something done
to it and pleaded with the Commission to help these people out.
Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13th Avenue, felt Dania Beach Hotel belonged to the
original owners, Bonnie and Jack Christie, and that they should be consulted
before anything was done to the property.
Bonnie Miskel stated her client was the property owner and had a deed to prove
it. She noted that they were not asking for six months; they were just asking for
60 days.
Fay Bartelmes, 214 SW 2"d Terrace, supported giving the applicant another 60
days.
Dr. Gupta, local dentist, stated that his property was directly in front of the Dania
Beach Hotel and supported helping these people do something to improve the
site.
MINUTES 14 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the
public hearing.
Director Leeds felt that it was unrealistic to believe that the requirements could
be met within 60 days. He explained that the most difficult thing was an analysis
by an engineer who was familiar with the logistics of relocating an historical
building. He also felt that a proper site plan could not be submitted in time and
reminded the Commission that the City still had not been paid the cost recovery
fee requested a year ago. He wondered what happens in 60 days.
Bonnie Miskel read the condition on the cost recovery fee and stated that it was
due at submittal of the site plan.
Commissioner Anton clarified from Director Leeds that they had requested 90
flex units out of 2400 available flex units and asked why they needed the
extension.
Bonnie Miskel stated that she did not want to wait until the new guidelines were
completed before she could request 90 units under an entirely new process when
they had 90 units already allotted to them.
Commissioner Anton wanted to see an improvement to that site and did not want
to sit on an extension. He stated that he would not support an extension at this
time.
Vice-Mayor Mikes agreed with Commissioner Anton and noted they had already
had double the amount of time originally given to them and that it was time to put
pressure on people to deliver the projects that they had promised.
Commissioner Flury desired clarification. She noted the frustration of all that this
project had not gotten off the ground. She felt the issue was whether or not to
provide an extension for these flex units. She wanted to know what prohibited
them from moving forward with site plan even if the flex unit extension was not
granted.
Director Leeds stated that nothing stopped them from moving forward with the
site plan and continuing the process. He explained that they could consider the
reapplication of the flex units along with the approval of the site plan. He
anticipated it was a six-month process and clarified that he supported this
project.
Commissioner Flury stated that she supported giving them the LAC flex units if
they came in with a site plan.
A motion was made by Commissioner Anton, seconded by Vice-Mayor

9.6 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA,
AMENDING CHAPTER 28 "ZONING" OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING DEFINITIONS OF
INSTITUTIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL USES; PROVIDING FOR THE
PROHIBITION OF INSTITUTIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL USES AND
USES RELATED THERETO IN THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AREA AND WITHIN 2500 FEET OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AREA; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST READING)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
City Attorney Ansbro stated that he had checked out the Ordinance in relation to
changes that may have needed to be made in order to withstand legal attacks.
He noted that a statement in the proposed section 30.02 that defined institutional
uses, could be reworded from non-profit or public institutions to private or public
institutions. He also advised that the Commission could have certain uses, such
as libraries or public schools, deleted from the Ordinance definitions. He
reported that hospitals, charitable institutions, private schools, and other types of
institutional, vocational, or educational uses would still be affected.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
Fay Bartelmes, 214 SW 2nd Terrace, was disappointed by the lawyer for AMO
who addressed the Commission at the last meeting and warned the City that if
the Ordinance passed they would do something, as if to say that they owned the
City and could tell it what to do. She was upset that people felt AMO had
contributed so much to the community, when in reality they "cherry picked" the
nicest properties in the area and paid no taxes on them.
Norlisa Vatts, representing the Graves Museum at 481 S. Federal Highway,
noted the major impact on marketability that they experienced if the Ordinance
passed. She thanked the City for understanding how strapped they were and
also expressed gratitude for the City for not shutting off their utilities. She noted
that sometimes an organization had to reorganize in order to become financially
stable and stated that if this Ordinance passed, their building would be a non-

_ conforming use and be difficult to be sold. She asked the Commission to deny
the ordinance.
Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the
public hearing.
Vice-Mayor Mikes felt that it was unfair to expect taxpayers to support the
redevelopment of Downtown and not to be able to attract taxpaying businesses.
He sponsored this Ordinance because people complained about having too
many churches that kept away the tax base and felt that the overwhelming
consideration was that the City needed control over the redevelopment area. He
stressed the objection people had with AMO taking over so much property and
not paying any taxes to cover police or fire services. He reiterated the need for
control of the redevelopment area and conceded that he would lose this vote
because AMO had control over the City. He also felt that AMO could afford to
pay taxes.
A motion was made by Commissioner Chunn to deny the Ordinance on
first reading.
City Attorney Ansbro stated for Commissioner Anton that he felt the Ordinance
was defensible in court.
Mayor McElyea passed the gavel to Vice-Mayor Mikes and seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Anton stated that he had a problem supporting the Ordinance and
wanted everyone to know, including AMO representatives, that he agreed with
the Vice-Mayor's opinion that Dania Beach residents should not bear the brunt of
the tax burden. He also announced that when he had met with Mr. Knight about
the Graves Museum property, he told them that he did not support taking the
property off the tax-rolls. He indicated that he could not support the Ordinance
because he felt it tied their hands a little too much.
Vice-Mayor Mikes stated that the Ordinance was written comprehensively and
that if, at any time, the Commissioners felt the City development required it, the
Ordinance could be changed. He was concerned that taxpayers' money would
be wasted by supporting non-taxpayers' expenses.
Motion carried on the following 4-1 roll call vote:

9.7 LUF-10-02-R04 — Request by James Carr, Manager of MKN Investors,
• LLC (Harbour Isles Townhouse Development) for the plat known as Griffin
Lakes for modification of the flex unit allocation (36 flex units in lieu of 36
affordable housing flex units) located west of Ravenswood Road, south of
Griffin Road, east of SW 24 Avenue and north of SW 51 Court.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA,
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION TO THE FLEX UNIT
ALLOCATION, BY MKN INVESTORS LLC, TO ASSIGN THIRTY SIX (36)
FLEX UNITS IN LIEU OF THE THIRTY SIX (36) AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED TO THE GRIFFIN LAKES
PLAT ON MAY 28, 2002; THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST OF
RAVENSWOOD ROAD, SOUTH OF GRIFFIN ROAD, EAST OF SW 24T"
AVENUE AND NORTH OF SW 51 COURT, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING
FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reported that the property
was originally zoned for 355 mobile homes, and was changed to 427 townhouse
units and indicated that half of the units had been completed. He described that
they had approved 72 flex units (36 reserve units/36 affordable housing units).
He noted that since then no buyer had qualified for affordable housing making 36
units useless to the developer. He indicated that if the units were built, they only
could be occupied by tenants who had qualified for affordable housing. Staff felt
that Dania Beach had already made a substantial contribution to affordable
housing; half the people in the City lived in what was considered affordable
housing. Director Leeds stated that he supported the request and stressed that
there was no change in site plan or density and that these 36 units would now be
considered market rate units and be made available at the median price.
Bonnie Miskel, representing the applicant, reported that after the site plan was
approved, they had met with the Broward County Housing Authority and sought
assistance in locating families with affordable housing needs and they could not
be found.
Director Leeds clarified the location for Mayor McElyea. He calculated for
Commissioner Flury that there were 75 — 100 flex units left after these 36, and
confirmed that he recommended approval.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flury, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to adopt the resolution.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
MINUTES 18 JUNE 22, 2004

Patricia Tyra, Estates of Fort Lauderdale, understood affordable housing issues
and felt that losing affordable housing was detrimental to the City, especially in a
location that was close to public transportation.
Hearing no one else speak in favor or opposition, Mayor McElyea closed the
public hearing.
The motion carried on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Anton — yes Vice-Mayor Mikes — yes

10. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
10.1 Commissioner Anton reported that there had been a press conference yesterday
at Davie Town Hall regarding airport expansion and that it was very well attended and
successful. He also had attended a Broward County Commission Meeting this morning
and reported that they had approved an EIS on a 7-2 vote, which allotted $7 million in
taxpayers dollars to the airport expansion. He indicated that Commissioners Rodstrom
and Gunzburger voted against it and noted that the airlines had clearly indicated that
they were not inclined to fund this. He thanked everyone who showed up for that
meeting.
• 10.2 Commissioner Chunn thanked God for being kind to him and ABC Thrift
Store and Dismas House for their support of the less fortunate. He also thanked
Mayor McElyea for donating the paint for painting Gracie Polinar's residence on
July 10, 2004, and invited citizens to participate. He also thanked Patty Hart for
her donations.
10.3 Commissioner Flury stated she had nothing this evening concerning the
City, but commented that the Broward County meeting today was interesting.
She asked Commissioner Anton to explain the second airport issue addressed at
that meeting.
Commissioner Anton explained that the second issue concerned the wording in
the EIS involving delays during "peak hours." He felt they were successful in
convincing that commission that peak hours and delays were handled by
scheduling. He also reported the confusion that took place because they
apparently tabled the issue after voting it down. He agreed with Commissioner
Flury that it was very interesting indeed. He hoped that this City Commission did
not come across in the same manner.
10.4 Vice-Mayor Mikes addressed the airport issue and reported that he had
gone to Hollywood for a NOISE Conference meeting in an attempt to get national
press coverage. He also reported on a strategy meeting he had attended last
MINUTES 19 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
week with attorneys and indicated that they may only have one Commissioner
• per meeting, under the Sunshine Law. He asked the City Manager to see about
supplying refrigerator magnets made up with current phone numbers and email
addresses for airport noise complaints. He was also concerned about the pattern
that was developing of setting meetings too early (4:00 p.m.) for working people
to attend. He wanted the City to revert back to scheduling workshops and
special meetings in the evenings. He noticed that Deerfield had received a new
lease for its Pier Restaurant and asked City Manager Pato to get copy of that
lease. He also questioned how comprehensive the budget breakdown would be.
City Manager Pato answered that he would not see the first draft until Friday, but
indicated that it would not be less than last year. He stated that if there was
something Commissioners wanted to see in it that now was the time to let him
know.
Vice-Mayor Mikes requested graphics that included data from the past two or
three years in order to see developing trends.
10.5 Mayor McElyea asked Bruce Caruso from the Fire Department about the
File of Life magnets for paramedics.
Captain Caruso reported that they still had the program and they offered it
regularly to the community and described the way they presented them to
individuals and groups.
Mayor McElyea announced that he had raised $1705 for the American Cancer
Society by participating in the Jail & Bail fundraiser this morning.
Mayor McElyea asked Bruce Liem, Chairperson of the Dolphin Derby about a
request by the Fire Department to waive the fees for the use of the I.T. Parker
Community Center to hold the "Dania Beach Dolphin Derby" Fishing Tournament
on June 26, 2004. At the March 9, 2004, Commission meeting the fees were
reduced to $500 following the recommendation of the I.T. Parker Advisory Board.
Mayor McElyea further referred to Nathan Bruckenthal, a Coast Guardsman from
Dania Beach that was killed in Iraq and his wife still lived in Dania Beach and
requested that the Commission reconsider waiving the charges at the IT Parker
Center so the proceeds can go to his family.
A motion was made by Commissioner Chunn, seconded by Vice-Mayor Mikes, to
waive the fee for the firefighters to use the I.T. Parker Community Center for a
fundraiser to benefit the family of Nathan Bruckenthal.
Bruce Liem explained how the Dania Beach Dolphin Derby Fishing Tournament
was conducted and noted that this was their ninth year. He indicated that the
City had routinely waived the fee for the use of the I.T. Parker Community
Center. He noted that money came from entry fees, concession proceeds, and
MINUTES 20 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
donations and reported for Vice-Mayor Mikes that the tournament raised an
average of $10,000. He also noted that the family will receive a flat fee of
$50,000 from the military and a college account had been set up for the unborn
child.
Vice-Mayor Mikes wanted to see a memorial set up, such as tree planted in the
City, in addition to the donated funds.
In response to the Vice-Mayor's question about why the original request to have
the fees waived completely had been denied, Commissioner Flury explained that
the original request had not been specifically linked to this individual and that
now this is a different request.
Bruce Liem advised he will make sure that the next time they present this type of
request to the Commission, they will choose their beneficiary in a timely manner.
City Manager Pato suggested the City pay the bill for the I.T. Parker Community
Center as a City contribution.
The motion carried on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Anton — yes Vice-Mayor Mikes — yes
Commissioner Chunn — yes Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury — yes
11. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
11.1 Discussion and Information: Sign Code Revisions (Zoning-in-Progress).
(Community Development Director)
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reported on a number of
revisions that clarified the language in the code to make it more precise and
understandable. He stated that the wording had been adopted and approved by the
Planning & Zoning Board. He also indicated that he had designed this ordinance as
Zoning-in-Progress so that it would become effective before the public hearing on July
27, 2004. He clarified that this provision of the code applied to the portion of the City
that was east of Ravenswood Road and that enforcement began within the CRA area.
11.2 Discussion and Information: Accessory Structure Zoning Code Revisions
(Residential Areas). (Community Development Director)
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community. Development, described a new problem in
Dania Beach where residents had converted their back yards into storage areas using
storage buildings, garages, gazebos and other enclosures that were increasing in size.
Director Leeds was concerned that these garages evolved into storage spaces for
businesses or into living units. He reported that he wanted to try to get a little control
MINUTES 21 JUNE 22, 2004
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
over how people used their backyards. He stated that he will not be doing zoning in
® progress. He noted that parking was becoming a problem with the big garages being
stuffed with items with no places left to park automobiles.
Vice Mayor Mikes commented that big structures will not meet setbacks on an average
yard within the City.
Director Leeds suggested looking into the proposed ordinance in detail when it is
presented to the Commission on first reading at the July 27, 2004 meeting.
DIRECTOR LEEDS PULLED ITEM 11.3
11.3 Reconsideration of roof color for Divers Direct (Bass Pro Complex).
(Community Development)
Laurence Leeds, Community Development Director, advised that this item has been
withdrawn from the Agenda because the applicant could not find a turquoise roof. They
will work with a metal roof and paint it turquoise as requested by the Commission.
11.4 Discussion of Appointment of Voting Delegate for Florida League of Cities
