City Attorney Ansbro explained that this item was pulled during the last meeting pending
as resolution to a concern as to whether or not wetlands on this property could be used
by Broward County in the expansion of the airport development as a mitigation credit,
allowing them to use the wetlands on this property in lieu of those they were going to
destroy. City Attorney Ansbro contacted the attorney for the applicant, Stiles
Corporation, and approved a covenant that would confirm that no one would be allowed
to use these wetlands for any such credit. He confirmed that any concern that the
Commission had about mitigation credit had been resolved.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, asked if the City had to wait until
the document was recorded before the agreement could be formally signed.
City Attorney Ansbro indicated in the affirmative and advised that it would be completed
next week. In response to Commissioner Mikes' question, City Attorney Ansbro stated
that the City of Dania Beach was named as the beneficiary of the covenant. City
Attorney Ansbro was satisfied that this addressed the Commission's concern, but stated
that he could negotiate stronger language into the covenant if the Commission wished.
He warned that if the Commission continued to hold the applicant up, it might harm the
project.
Commissioner Mikes did not want to harm Mr. Stiles, but indicated that he was not
happy with the language of the covenant and suggested that the covenant gave the City
more control. He wanted to see the language of the covenant before approval.

In response to Commissioner Flury's question, Michael Sheridan, Director of Public

which the City had used last year. He assured the Commission that this was a
competitive bid. He also confirmed for Commissioner Flury that Weekly Asphalt did not
do this type of work. Public Works Director Sheridan explained micro surfacing and

"VEGETATION" OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES BY CLARIFYING AND
MODIFYING REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE INSTALLATION
AND REMOVAL OF TREES AND OTHER VEGETATION IN ORDER TO
ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY CODE OF
ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (SECOND
reading)
City Attorney Ansbro read the Ordinance title for Item 9.2.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, reported that the Broward County
Commission amended their County Tree Preservation Ordinance earlier this year and
had directed the cities to amend their ordinances to be at least as stringent as the new
County Code. Director Leeds stated that, in general, the Dania Beach Tree Preservation
Ordinance was more restrictive than the County Code; however, there were certain
housekeeping and technical items that must be changed to avoid the County coming in
and declaring Dania's ordinance uncertified. Mr. Leeds said the major change was new
language that waived the tree replacement requirement for specimen trees that were
dead, in danger of falling, or posed a danger or possible danger of collapse. He
stressed that this exemption would only apply to owner-occupied, single-family homes.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition,
the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Flury felt the Commission should approve this because she did not want
the County to regulate the ordinance for the City. She was concerned about swale trees
destroying sidewalks, and homeowners needing to get a permit to remove the trees and
then replacing them in the swales, which could destroy the sidewalks in the future.
Community Director Leeds agreed with Commissioner Flury, but stated that it was part
of the County Code that the City had no control over. He confirmed that a homeowner, in
that circumstance, had to replace a shade tree with a shade tree and could not use a
palm tree because County wanted shade trees in the swale areas to create a canopy
over the street. He stated that many residents were not happy about this, but it was a
situation where the City had to meet County Code.
Commissioner Flury was concerned that it encouraged residents to cut down these trees
without permits.
MINUTES 8 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
® Vice-Mayor McElyea questioned why the City was planting palm trees along Griffin
Road. He pointed out that this was inconsistent with the County's desire for a street
canopy and questioned why they were doing it wrong to begin with.
City Attorney Ansbro assured Vice-Mayor McElyea that was what the County had
approved.
Commissioner Mikes questioned what the tree removal process would be after this
Ordinance came into effect.
Director Leeds stated that the tree removal process did not change. He reiterated that if
it were a swale tree, it had special protection and could only be replaced after the City
determined that a root barrier wouldn't protect it and that the damage to the sidewalk
was irrevocable. He further stated that the tree would have to be replaced and a permit
must be pulled, and a new tree planted in its place.
Commissioner Mikes wanted to know whether or not there was any enforcement by the
City to bring commercial property back up to site plan specifications once trees had been
removed because of things such as traffic accidents. Director Leeds stated that his
department was doing the best they could with current staffing as they deal with things
on a priority basis. He explained that if an inspector noticed damaged trees or someone
complained, Code Enforcement would respond, but he further clarified that he did not
have staff members to patrol the City for damaged trees. Mr. Leeds explained that a
larger problem is landscaping that is not being maintained. He stated that staff focused
their attention on Federal Highway and high profile, commercial corridors when they
looked for missing trees or dead landscaping.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flury, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to approve Ordinance 9.2 on second reading. 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

City Attorney Ansbro read the Variance (VA-65-03) and Special Exception (SE-65-03)
Requests for Item 9.6.
Corinne Church, Principal City Planner for Department of Community Development,
outlined the applicant's requests for the parking lot variance for fifty-two parking spaces
and a special exception to allow a business school in a C-1 zoning district. City Planner
Church described the site as being occupied by two buildings connected by a drive-
through banking facility with office space above. She stated the college would occupy
the two floors of the western building. She explained that the site was developed as an
office building, which had a lesser parking requirement than a school and left the
MINUTES 11 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
applicant 52 parking spaces short. She described the residential area and Frost Park
being in close proximity. She reported the applicant's proposal to move Key College, an
adult education school currently located in Plantation, to this site. She reported that the
applicant expected a total enrollment of 150 students attending the facility in two shifts,
each shift containing 75 students and 25 staff. Ms. Church explained that the City had
forwarded this plan to Tinter Associates, a traffic consulting firm, to review the
application and they reported that there were 10 parking spaces available on the street
at NE 1st Terrace as well as parking available at Frost Park. She stated the applicant
also needed a special exception to allow school use in the C-1 zoning area. Staff made
the following four recommendations: 1) No college parking take place on NE 1st Terrace
and the applicant provide signage along NE 1st Terrace identifying the same; 2)
Supplemental parking should be accommodated at Frost Park; 3) The use of parking
decals be enforced; 4) Any increase in student capacity above 150 that the applicant
had identified should require additional review by the City Commission. Ms. Church
stated that the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the request with
the four conditions plus the applicant must enter into a one-year lease with Jai Alai for
additional parking. Since the Planning and Zoning meeting, it was determined that Jai
Alai was unable to make the parking available to them.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, added a statement describing the
City's use of Alan Tinter and Associates to evaluate parking and traffic issues that were
outside the scope of staff. He confirmed that they had indicated that there were no
parking problems for the evening classes and that there should not be a problem during
the day provided the additional parking was used at Frost Park. He stated that since the
staff report was written, he spoke to Parks and Recreation Director Kristen Jones
regarding Frost Park and wanted to add the caveat that supplemental parking should be
available at Frost Park adjacent to Fronton Boulevard. He outlined his visit to the current
campus and the courses offered by the college in drafting, computer drafting, medical
transcriptionists, and paralegals.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition,
the public hearing was closed.
Ronald Dooley, President of Key College, agreed with the conditions set forth by staff.
He felt that the alternate parking in the Frost Park area would be ideal for faculty and
staff, relieving parking difficulty for students. He stated that the school had been in
Plantation since 1987, and they taught in the legal, medical, and computer
paraprofessional arena. He reported that students' ages ranged primarily in the upper
twenties to early thirties. He described the positive impact they had at the current
location. He stated they currently did not have a parking problem and only had 98
spaces. He did not think it would become a major issue here. He agreed that if student
population grew, they would come back to the Commission and possibly seek an
alternative branch location.
Director Leeds recommended approval of 9.6 with the four above-mentioned conditions
applied to both a) and b).

9.7 SE-76-03 — A request by Stan Perlmutter, on behalf of ABC Thrift, Inc., for a
Special Exception to allow a charitable institution (not-for-profit thrift store) to
operate a thrift store at 222-236 North Federal Highway.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST SUBMITTED BY STAN PERLMUTTER,
REPRESENTING ABC THRIFT, INC., FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 222-236
NORTH FEDERAL HWY., DANIA BEACH, FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE
TO ALLOW A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION TO OPERATE A THRIFT SHOP IN
A C-3 ZONING DISTRICT; CHAPTER 28, ZONING, ARTICLE 4.20 SCHEDULE
OF USE REGULATIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the Special Exception (SE-65-03) Request for Item 9.7.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, described ABC Thrift Store's
previous location and stated that they had recently relocated to 222-236 North Federal
Highway. He explained that charitable organizations required special exception
approval of the City Commission. He stated that this particular store was not very big
and was not located in the most visible area of the shopping center. He stated that staff
had no objection to approval of this location although there were conditions: 1) Provide a
hedge along the west property line for the entire length of the parking lot. The hedge
shall be two feet tall and planted two feet on center. If the hedge was not installed
within 30 days, the operator of the thrift store would be told that he had to close his
business and discontinue until this condition was met; 2) No outdoor storage or display
would be permitted. Mr. Leeds added that he spoke to both the applicant and Mr.
Medina, owner of the shopping center, who indicated the shrubs would be in shortly.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition,
the public hearing was closed.
Stanley Perlmutter, thrift store operator and six-year resident of the City of Dania Beach,
had a problem with the thrift store being held responsible for Mr. Medina's actions. He
stated that they had done business in the City of Dania Beach for 10 years and had
never had a complaint or problem. He explained his relationship with Dania Elementary
School providing them with clothing, aquariums, furniture, etc. He stated that they had
signs outside the store to help prevent night drop-offs, but it was totally out of his control
whether or not someone left something outside. He explained that occasionally the
• store put a donated item outside for pickup.
MINUTES 13 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
Commissioner Flury clarified that this business had been in operation at the present
location for two months without the occupational license.
Mr. Leeds explained that the applicant was not aware of the need for the special
exception and was under the impression that the previous occupational license was
transferable to the new location. He clarified that the special exception issue had come
up within the last year and the applicant knew nothing about it because he had never
needed it before.
In response to Commissioner Flury's question, Mr. Perlmutter described their two
previous City of Dania Beach locations.
Commissioner Mikes stated that it was not unusual for the City to ask people to make
upgrades when requesting a special exception. He reported there were often
controversies about thrift stores. He felt the City was not asking anything unusual and
was being reasonable.
Mr. Perlmutter stated that he would put as much pressure as he could to get the landlord
to comply with the City's request, but he was still concerned about the threat of being
closed down because of the landlord.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to approve Item 9.7 (SE-76-03) with the following conditions: 1) Provide a hedge
along the west property line for the entire length of the parking lot. The hedge
shall be two feet tall and planted two feet on center. If the hedge was not installed
within 30 days, the operator of the thrift store would be told that he had to close
his business and discontinue until this condition was met; 2) No outdoor storage
or display would be permitted.
The motion failed for lack of votes and was later withdrawn in the midst of the
following roll call vote:
Commissioner Chunn —yes
Commissioner Flury —yes
At the time of the vote, Commissioner Flury requested that staff follow up. She was
concerned that the outside storage issue was not resolved.
Director Leeds was also concerned and wanted Mr. Perlmutter to understand that he
was being treated like other thrift storeowners. He stated that a small display outside
during the daytime was not a concern, however, large items, such as couches and
refrigerators that were left to sit there, became a major issue. He suggested that if the
Commissioners were concerned about this, they put a time limit on the approval.
Mr. Perlmutter stated that when items had been dropped off outside overnight, they had
always been brought in before the store opened. He confirmed that there was no
outside storage.
Commissioner Mikes questioned City Attorney Ansbro as to what the procedure was on
adding a timetable to the motion, now that they were halfway through the roll call vote.
MINUTES 14 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
City Attorney Ansbro suggested either moving forward and amending the motion to
include this stipulation or withdrawing the motion and starting over.
Mayor Anton asked the two that voted if they would like to withdraw their vote.
Commissioner Chunn and Commissioner Flury withdrew their votes.
Community Director Leeds wanted the Commission to understand that he had visited the
store and there were a couple of things out on the sidewalk. He stated that if the
Commission wanted to exclude anything from the outside of that store, even the daytime
display of merchandise, it would need to be stated in the motion.
Mr. Perlmutter stated that he does not keep junk in the store.
Commissioner Mikes withdrew his motion and suggested Commissioner Flury made
the motion and word it to her satisfaction.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flury, seconded by Commissioner Chunn, to
approve Item 9.7 (SE-76-03) with the following conditions: 1)Provide hedge along the
west property line for the entire length of the parking lot, prior to the issuance of the
Occupational License. The hedge shall be two (2) feet tall and planted two (2) feet on
center. 2) No outdoor storage or display shall be permitted after business hours.
Mayor Anton asked Chief Cowart to keep an eye on the property and alert Code
Enforcement and Community Development if there were any problems.
In response to Commissioner Mikes question, Director Leeds stated that the only
advantage of a time frame was to eliminate a long, tedious, expensive process to
enforce this through the Code Enforcement Board.
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
Addendum:
9.8 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING
THE GRANTING OF AN EASEMENT FROM DANIA DISTRIBUTION CENTRE,
LTD., A FLORIDA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
ALONG WEST DANIA BEACH BOULEVARD AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN
EXHIBIT "A", A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THIS RESOLUTION;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the Resolution for Item 9.8.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, explained that this was an on-
going saga concerning Dania Distribution where they gave the City land, the City gave it
back, and they returned it to the City again as required for them to receive plat approval
from Broward County. He reported that when the original plat was submitted, they had
MINUTES 15 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
planned to dedicate 50 feet for the south side of Dania Beach Boulevard adjacent to the
property and that it had never been dedicated. Dania Distribution was offering to give
this land to the City for future road right of way. He stated that the City must accept it or
the County would not approve their plat and they could not build. He recommended
acceptance so that the project could move forward. He noted that it was unusual for the
City to gain land and it should be accepted.
City Attorney Ansbro had looked at the form of the document and reported that it was
perfectly fine.
Mayor Anton opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition,
the public hearing was closed.
A motion was made by Vice-Mayor McElyea, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to approve Item 9.8. 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
10. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
10.1 Commissioner Chunn wanted to thank those who supported the Hollywood
Elementary Reading Program. He also thanked Vice-Mayor McElyea for helping people
in need by his clothing donation.
10.2 Commissioner Flury— no comments
10.3 Commissioner Mikes thanked all who were working on the airport issue and he
expressed disappointment that people had to be paid to distribute flyers for lack of
volunteers.
Commissioner Mikes also reported that he had spoken to a former Commissioner who
was offended that the City was building offices in the Atrium. He felt that once building
began in the Atrium it would not stop.
Vice-Mayor McElyea agreed with Commissioner Mikes.
Commissioner Chunn supported Vice-Mayor McElyea's and Commissioner Mikes'
position.
Commissioner Mikes indicated that this project was becoming more costly than
anticipated and suggested the option of renting office space close to City Hall.
City Manager Pato reminded the Commission that when he had asked them for direction
they instructed him to do something in the Atrium.
Commissioner Mikes explained that the Commission had looked at it from the
perspective of office space and did not look at it from the perspective of the public as
. they should have. He stressed that this area needed to remain for the public.
MINUTES 16 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
• Vice-Mayor McElyea suggested building on to the 803 building and move Broward
County Sheriff's Offices somewhere else.
The consensus of the Commission was to stop work on the construction of offices in the
atrium and have staff find an alternative.
In response to City Manager Pato's question about moving the City Attorney's offices out
of City Hall, Vice-Mayor McElyea suggested that the City Attorney's office could stay
where it was and use one of the conference rooms for additional space.
City Manager Pato commented that the other conference room was one of the most
productive portions of the building and was consistently being used as a public meeting
place.
Vice-Mayor McElyea suggested that the public could meet somewhere else.
Commissioner Mikes and Commissioner Chunn admitted that perhaps the Commission
had made a mistake by putting the public meeting area in this building.
Commissioner Flury agreed with Commissioner Mikes and stated that the issue rested
with the Commission for directing the City Manager to go forward without thinking it
through properly. She suggested that the City Manager reconsider departmental
functions and group them together. She thought that perhaps Human Resources and
Information Systems might not need to be on site. Commissioner Flury thought the City
• should look at what the needs were for the next five years, and budget for a long-term
plan. She reiterated that Broward County Sheriff's Office (BSO) should not be in the City
Hall building.
City Manager Pato stated that in a couple of years the City would be able to move
forward with the planned project behind building 803 and move BSO out of City Hall. He
outlined the thought process staff went through in the consideration of a solution, which
included the use of the second floor of the Swanson House for either the County
Commission -- determined impractical because of ADA related issues -- or the City
Attorney's office. He explained that the Commission had expressed a desire to use the
Swanson House for historic purposes. He further commented that the plan for the
expansion of City Hall did not get Commission support either. He reiterated that he did
not like using the Atrium, but felt there were no other alternatives. He stated that the
desire of the Commission to move the City Attorney into City Hall had created the
problem in the first place.
City Manager Pato stated that he understood the Commission was not blaming him for
what had happened, but reiterated that he needed direction and asked the Commission
what direction they wanted him to take.
MINUTES 17 NOVEMBER 25, 2003
CITY OF DANIA BEACH
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Chunn,
to stop work on the Atrium and for the City Manager to view the alternatives,
including looking at rental space. 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
In response to City Manager Pato's question concerning whether or not to move the City
Attorney's office out of City Hall, Mayor Anton clarified that the City Manager needed to
look at all departments to determine which would be the most practical to move to a
rental facility.
10.4 Vice-Mayor McElyea wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday.
10.5 Mayor Anton echoed Vice-Mayor McElyea's greeting and assured the people out
west that the derelict vehicle issue was moving forward and that action would be taken.
11. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
11.1 Discussion of bus week-end services. (Parks and Recreation Director)
Kristen Jones, Parks and Recreation Director, spoke concerning a request by residents
to extend the community bus services to weekends. She reported that, unfortunately,
the local gas tax funds had been depleted and there were no additional funds to provide
for this request. However, Director Jones stated that through creative scheduling, she
felt the City could accommodate the citizens. She recommended readjusting the
schedule to accommodate citizens' request.
The consensus of the Commission was to proceed.
Commissioner Flury suggested that Parks and Recreation keep an eye on weekend
usage over the next several months and if it was not being utilized make appropriate
adjustments.
Addendum:
11.2 Request by Nancy Williams, d/b/a Rose, for approval to renew
Palmistry/Fortuneteller business license for property located at 1410 South

comments from Broward County Sheriff's Office on either item.
