ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
7.10 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING
THE CITY OFFICIALS TO ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BROWARD
COUNTY AND THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH FOR JOINT FUNDING OF THE
DREDGING OF THE DANIA CUT OFF CANAL IN THE AMOUNT OF
$100,000.00; AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO
EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Commissioner Mikes requested an update on the dredging project. Mike
Sheridan, Director of Public Works/Utilities, reported that the dredging project
was slightly ahead of schedule and is expected to be finished the first of June.
Director Sheridan advised that 11,500 cubic yards of fill have been dredged out of
the Dania Cut-off Canal and approximately 4,000 cubic yards of fill have been
dredged from the finger canals. He reported that the project was being monitored
daily. Commissioner Mikes asked Director Sheridan to make sure that the
contractor goes past the survey marker offset for the main canal to make a nice
entrance on each one of the finger canals. Director Sheridan explained that part
of the area referred to by Commissioner Mikes has rock formation and removal of
any rock was not a requirement of the contract. Commissioner Mikes stated that
he was referring to the soft rock. Director Sheridan assured the Commission that
he would speak with the Contractor about possibly removing the soft rock.
Mayor Anton mentioned that some of the affected residents have not been
notified about moving their boats and he asked Director Sheridan to make sure
the contractor notifies the residents. Commissioner Mikes suggested that an
independent contractor survey the project at 75% completion. Director Sheridan
clarified that the contract only requires a survey at 100% completion and a
change order would need to be approved for an additional survey. Director
Sheridan was directed to obtain a cost for an additional survey to be conducted at
75% completion.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to adopt the resolution. The motion passed on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Chunn — yes Vice-Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury — yes Mayor Anton —yes

FINANCE STAFF TO DERIVE A DESIGNATED SOURCE OF FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $500,000 FOR LEGAL, CONSULTING AND OTHER FEES
REQUIRED TO PROTECT CITY RESIDENTS HOMES AND BUSINESSES
THREATENED BY PROPOSED AIRPORT EXPANSION; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Commissioner Mikes explained that the purpose of the resolution was to set
aside a dedicated funding source to let the public know how much of a
commitment the City is willing to make to fight the airport expansion.
Mayor Anton agreed that a message needed to be sent to the County that the
City is in a position to take action, when and if it becomes necessary.
Finance Director Pat Varney advised that the resolution would direct her to seek
several options, but she would not have a recommendation until the next regular
meeting of May 27.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flury, seconded by Vice-Mayor McElyea,
to adopt the resolution. The motion passed on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Chunn — yes Vice-Mayor McElyea —yes
Commissioner Flury— yes Mayor Anton — yes

7.16 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,
FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE ACTIONS OF THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD BY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO JOIN HOLLYWOOD AS A PLAINTIFF IN THE
FILING OF A CIVIL ACTION NAMING BROWARD COUNTY FOR FAILURE OF
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE COPIES OF PUBLIC RECORDS
REQUESTED BY THE CITIES PURSUANT TO THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT,
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
City Manager Pato explained that the Hollywood City Commission directed their
City Attorney to file a civil law suit against Broward County forcing the release of
a document known as the Akin-Gump report, regarding the airport expansion.
Commissioner Mikes felt that the report probably would not support the County's
position on the airport expansion and that the document was probably critical to
the City's cause.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn
to adopt the resolution.
In response to Mayor Anton, City Attorney Ansbro advised that this would not be
in conflict with the Inter-local agreement. He also stated that he spoke with
Hollywood's City Attorney who informed him that Dania Beach would share the
cost, which would probably be under $1,000.

9.5 a) VA-27-02- A Variance Request by Arthur S. Bengochea, Architect for
Edward A. Matson, to allow the following:
10% pervious area (30% required)
Generalized landscape variances from Chapter 26, Vegetation, of the City Code.
Property located on the east side of Ravenswood Road north of Interstate 595.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, APPROVING THE
VARIANCE REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR S. BENGOCHEA,
ARCHITECT FOR EDWARD A. MATSON, FROM CHAPTER 28 ZONING,
ARTICLE 27.60 IROM DISTRICT REGULATIONS AND ARTICLE 6.21 OFF-
STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND CHAPTER 26 VEGETATION, FOR
VACANT PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF RAVENSWOOD
ROAD NORTH OF INTERSTATE 595, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
b) SP-27-02- A Site Plan Request by Arthur S. Bengochea, Architect for
Edward A. Matson, for the proposed construction of a 27,000 square foot
office/industrial/warehouse building. Property located on the east side of
Ravenswood Road, north of Interstate 595.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING
THE SITE PLAN REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR S. BENGOCHEA,
ARCHITECT FOR EDWARD A. MATSON, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE
EAST SIDE OF RAVENSWOOD ROAD NORTH OF INTERSTATE 595, DANIA
BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the property was
currently vacant and that the applicant is proposing a 27,000 square foot building,
which would be an office-industrial-warehouse. Director Leeds further explained
that the applicant originally asked for a variance to provide only 10% pervious
area and has subsequently revised the plan to provide 24% pervious area. The
plan also includes the changes he was asked to make. There will be some
overhead doors that will face Ravenswood Road, but the site is difficult to deal
with because of its odd shape and small depth and low visibility from 1-95. The
Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of both variances, however, the
applicant now only needs the variance to provide 24% pervious area. Director
Leeds pointed out that when the applicant submitted the original plan, he needed
MINUTES 10 MAY 13, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
® a parking variance, but has since reduced the size of the building and now
complies with the parking requirement.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or
opposition, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Mikes asked how the applicant increased the pervious area. Mr.
Leeds explained that the applicant increased the depth of the pervious area along
Ravenswood Road, which is the bottom of the site, added some pervious islands
within the parking lot, and expanded the depth of the pervious area along the
perimeter to the rear.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
adopting the resolutions approving the variance (VA-27-02) and site plan (SP-27-
02).
In response to Commissioner Flury, Director Leeds confirmed that the resolution
would be changed to reflect 24% rather than 10% pervious area.
The motion passed on the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Chunn — yes Vice-Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury— yes Mayor Anton — yes
Commissioner Mikes - yes
9.6 SP-21-03- Request by the City of Dania Beach for a Site Plan approval for
the "Charlie Will Thomas" Park, located at 800 NW 2"d Street.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
SITE PLAN REQUEST FOR VARIOUS SITE IMPROVEMENTS TO CHARLIE
THOMAS PARK WHICH IS LOCATED AT 800 NW 2 STREET, DANIA BEACH;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing.
Wendy Sims, sister of Howard Perry who resides at 201 NW 8 Ave and daughter
of Lavonia Perry who resides at 209 NW 8 Ave, spoke on their behalf. She
explained that Mr. Perry was happy about the facility, but has a problem with
extending the building across NW Second Street to the public sidewalk, which
would be right next to his property. Mr. Perry was concerned that the facility
would cause more pedestrians, more vehicle traffic, trespassing and loitering on
his property, and Ms. Sims pleaded with the Commission not to extend the facility
across NW Second Street to the public sidewalk.
Lakesha Perry, 201 NW 8 Avenue, expressed concerned about the additional
noise that would impact her residence due to the kids playing in the building. She
MINUTES 11 MAY 13, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
was also concerned about loosing parking area for family functions. She was not
in favor of putting the building so close to their home.
Kathryn Perry, 209 NW 8 Avenue, stated that she does not object to any
improvements except when it interferes with the owners of private property. If the
facility is built across to the sidewalk, it will interrupt the property owners' right to
privacy.
Hearing no further comment, the public hearing was closed.
Bonnie Temchuk, Grants Coordinator, clarified that there are no plans for the
construction of a new building. The site plan only includes a walking path and the
continuation of the existing sidewalk at Charlie Will Thomas Park. The site plan
will also include 3 new pavilions, 6 picnic tables, 6 grills, a new sign, the
resurfacing of the basketball courts, the addition of a junior basketball court in the
northern portion of the park, restroom renovations, renovations to the concession
stand, two new sets of bleachers, and new lighting.
Commissioner Chunn made the observation that somehow the residents were
misinformed about what was being planned and he apologized to the residents
for the confusion.
A motion was made by Commissioner Chunn, seconded by Commissioner Flury,
• to adopt the resolution approving the site plan (SP-21-03). The motion passed on
the following 5-0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Chunn — yes Vice-Mayor McElyea — yes
Commissioner Flury— yes Mayor Anton —yes
Commissioner Mikes - yes
9.7 VA-68-02 —Amended Variance request by Craig and MaryLou Breines to
extend a boat lifting device 15 feet into a 60-foot wide canal. Property located at
1446 Nautilus Isle, Dania Beach.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, APPROVING THE
VARIANCE REQUEST SUBMITTED BY CRAIG AND MARYLOU BREINES,
FROM THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH ZONING APPENDIX, ARTICLE II,
ACCESSORY AND DETACHED BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1446 NAUTILUS ISLE, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING
FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the applicant was
previously before the Commission asking for a variance for a boatlift with a 17-
foot extension into a canal that is only 60 feet wide. The applicant has come
back with an amended variance request for a boatlift with a 15-foot extension.
Director Leeds mentioned that in the past the City has generally allowed a 25%
•
MINUTES 12 MAY 13, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
extension into a canal and explained that the applicant's request, with the
reduction, would now be consistent with past approvals.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing.
Charlene Scalese, 826 NW 13 Avenue, was opposed to any boatlifts being
installed into the canals.
The applicant, Craig Breines, advised the Commission that he has a petition
signed by his neighbors who are not opposed to the boatlift and he requested
approval of the variance. He pointed out that there are five other boatlifts of the
same size already installed in these canals.
Faye Bartelemus, 214 SW 2 Terrace, questioned whether if the boat lifts would
be required to be removed if the property owner sold their home. Laurence
Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that a condition could be added to
remove the boat lift, after 5 years, if it becomes rusted and decrepit. Director
Leeds felt that the only way to enforce this condition, 5 years down the road,
would be to have the property owner record a restrictive covenant. Without the
restrictive covenant in the chain of title, a third party may take title of the property
without knowledge of the variance condition when the property sold.
Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Mikes was concerned that boat lifts make it hard for a barge to
access the canal when public improvements are needed such as bridge repairs.
He felt that the Marine Advisory Board should review ordinances from other
coastal cities in the County and make a recommendation on these types of
structures before any more variances are granted.
Commissioner Flury felt that there should be an ordinance authorizing Code
Enforcement to cite property owners who allow boat lifts to become dilapidated
and rusty. She disagreed with penalizing the applicant because the City has no
code in effect to maintain the lifts. She agreed that the Marine Advisory Board
should be utilized more for situations like this, but since this was the applicant's
second time before the Commission, she felt the variance should be approved.
A motion was made by Commissioner Chunn, seconded by Commissioner Flury,
to'adopt the resolution approving the variance (VA-68-02).
Director Leeds advised that there were two pending applications for variances
that are currently in progress and asked for direction. The Commission generally
agreed that the two pending applications plus any new ones should go to the
Marine Advisory Board for recommendation before coming to the Commission.

the beach. Kris Jones reported that the intent of the event is to display classic
cars and motor vehicles. She reported that the bicycles that were at the event
were antique bikes for sale, not for display. Vice-Mayor McElyea and Mayor

. cars. City Manager Pato asked for clarification on the vendors that should be
allowed. Commissioner Flury felt that only automobile related vendors should be
allowed to participate.

11. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
11.1 Discussion of proposed changes to the precinct boundary lines.
(Commissioner Mikes)
Commissioner Mikes advised that a meeting was held with a representative from
the Supervisor of Elections Office to discuss proposed changes to the precinct
boundary lines. He suggested that a workshop meeting be scheduled to discuss
the issue. City Clerk Johnson advised that a letter was received from the
Supervisor of Elections Office indicating that changes to the boundary lines have
to be submitted by August 1.
George Jason recommended that the Clerks from each precinct be asked to
attend the workshop for their input.
The City Clerk was directed to schedule a workshop meeting to discuss the issue.
11.2 Discussion of deadline procedures for submission of agenda items.
(Commissioner Mikes)
Commissioner Mikes pointed out that the language in the existing resolution
dealing with the deadline for agenda items should be changed. He agreed that
• certain items should be submitted by a certain date and time, but he felt that an
individual Commissioner should be able to put an item on the agenda to deal with
a perceived problem and not worry that the City could be put in a poor position for
litigation. He requested that the City Attorney revise the language, specifically the
word "shall" in the existing resolution, to avoid possible litigation.
11.3 Discussion of volunteer event dinner for board and committee members.
(City Manager)
City Manager Pato suggested that the volunteer event be held again and asked
for Commission direction on a time period. The Commission generally agreed to
hold the event in the month of October.

renovations and holding July regular meetings in Conference Room. (City
Manager)

ITEM 11.6 WAS HEARD AFTER ITEM 7.16
11.6 Discussion of Certification of Dania Beach Housing Authority Five-Year
Plan (Growth Management Director)
Larry Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that each year the
Executive Director of the Dania Beach Housing Authority requests a letter
certifying that the Dania Beach Housing Authority 5-year plan, which is updated
every year, is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The issue that was
focused on last year was the Section 8 voucher program. Rita Brown has
submitted a letter that assures that this year's plan proposes no additional
Section 8 vouchers. The letter also indicates that the Housing Authority Board
approved the plan in concept. Once he reviews the plan and verifies that there is
no increase in Section 8 vouchers, he will certify the plan, unless the City
Commission directs him otherwise.
Commissioner Mikes had some concern about the Section 8 program because of
pending legislation to change it to a block grant program, which would cause a
financial commitment on municipalities.
Rita Brown, Executive Director, concurred that there is currently legislation that
was recommended by President Bush to block-grant out the Section 8 voucher
program to the States, but it was her understanding that it would be the States
operating the program or contract with Housing Authorities. She stated that there
was much concern that there wouldn't be enough money under the block grant
formula to fund the voucher program as it currently exists, it would then be up to
the States whether to cut the program back or to add additional funding to keep it
at the current level. She didn't feel that the proposed legislation would pass, but
if it does, the year 2004 would be a transitional period and then it would take
effect in 2005.
Commissioner Flury mentioned that she reviewed the plan and thanked Director
Brown and the Board for the wonderful job they have done.
is Director Brown explained that the plan must be submitted to HUD by the middle
of June and must be accompanied by the certification letter from Dania Beach.
