REZONING REQUEST: RZ-02-03 (SECOND READING) Rezoning request from Residential R-IC (44 single family homes) to Residential PUD (55 zero lot line homes and town homes). PLAT APPROVAL: PL-03-03 Request for preliminary plat ® approval for Cape Fear Plat. VARIANCE REQUEST: VA-04-03 Request for approval of the following variances associated with the development of 55 zero lot line homes and town homes: a) Variance to allow a lot size of 8.8 gross acres. (Minimum 15 acres required). b) Variance to allow town homes and zero lot line homes up to three stories in height. (Maximum height: two stories). c) Generalized landscape variance from Chapter 26, Vegetation, Article IV Landscaping. APPENDED SITE PLAN REQUEST: SP-05-03 Site Plan Approval to allow a Planned Unit Development consisting of 55 dwelling units (zero lot line homes and town homes) and accessory boat slips. On February 25, 2003 the City Commission denied the above referenced rezoning request and took no action on the variance, site plan, and plat ® applications. On March 12, 2003 the City Commission voted to reconsider the applicant's rezoning request. Shiff Cape FearZoning Reconsideration RZ 02-03.doc 1 of 7 ANALYSIS ® The subject parcel contains two single family homes and an oak hammock. The property currently is zoned R-1C. R-IC permits 44 single family detached homes on 8.8 gross acres, or a gross density of five units per acre. The applicant has requested a zoning change to Planned Unit Development (-PUD' . Current Zoning Comprehensive Existing Land Use Plan Land Use Designation North IM-3 (Industrial) Industrial Dania Cut-Off Canal Industrial/Warehouse East R-1C (Residential) Residential 5 One Single Family 5 units/acre Home South R-1C (Residential) Residential 5 Five Single Family 5 units acre Homes !Test R-1C (Residential) Residential 5 City Park 5 units acre) PUD zoning allows up to 88 dwelling units, or 10 units per acre. The applicant initially proposed to restrict the PUD to 60 dwelling units (44 town homes and 16 zero lot line), or a gross density of 6.8 dwelling units per acre. The applicant has since reduced density from 60 to 55 dwelling units (43 town homes and 12 zero lot line homes), or a gross density of 6.25 units per acre. The site plan includes 43 interior boat slips and parallel canal dockage for an estimated 10 boats. The boats slips and docks are accessory to the development and cannot be operated or occupied for commercial purposes. The site plan shows parallel dockage extending 12 feet into the Cut-Off Canal. This is allowed by Section 33-40 (12) of the Dania Beach City Code, which permits docks and slips to extend 20 feet into the Cut-Off Canal, subject to the approval of applicable environmental permitting agencies (SFWMD, Army Corp, Broward County DPEP, etc.). Mooring poles are permitted by code to extend 25 feet into the Cut-Off Canal. The applicant has also requested a variance to build town houses or zero lot line units up to three stories in height. A six foot shadowbox fence is shown along portions of the east lot line next to an adjacent single family home. 0 Shiff Cape FearZoning Reconsideration RZ 02-03.doc 2of7 The following criteria are used to evaluate a zoning change proposing an increase in residential density: traffic, student generation, tree preservation and landscaping, building height, parking, building lot coverage and pervious area. Existing R-IC zoning provides that 40% of the site can be covered with buildings. Our analysis indicates building coverage is less than 25% of the site. The minimum required pervious area for single family development is 40%. Applicant provides approximately 45% pervious area. The parking code requires 2.2 parking spaces per unit (exclusive or garage spaces) for a total of 121 parking spaces. Preliminary analysis indicates 121 parking spaces are provided, although this may change pending final review of tree preservation/relocation data. Parking displaced by existing oak trees shall be provided in another area of the site, most likely next to the clubhouse. Proposed building height is consistent with two-story townhouse development (approximately 25 feet in height to the mid-point of the peak roof; approximately 32 feet in height to the highest point of the roof). Applicant has requested a variance to build units up to three stories in height. Tree Preservation/Relocation: The applicant's revised tree survey proposes to preserve or relocate on-site approximately 74 % of the oak trees. • Trees which are to be cut down and removed are assigned a value based on their size and condition. The applicant is required to pay into the City's landscape trust fund the dollar amount of the trees that cannot be preserved or relocated on-site. The removal of healthy specimen oak trees greater than 12" in caliper requires City Commission approval and payment into the City's landscape fund prior to issuance of building permits. Staff is still evaluating the landscape and tree preservation plan. Staff recommends that any approvals be subject to final approval of the landscape plan at a subsequent City Commission meeting. School Impact Analysis (Source: Broward County School Generation Rates): Based on Broward County School Generation Rates, the proposed development would generate fewer students than under existing single family home zoning. Building Setbacks: The PUD zoning district does not specify required setbacks. If the property was zoned for townhouse use under the City's RM-1 zoning, the applicant would meet or exceed required setbacks as indicated on the following table: Shiff Cape FearZoning Reconsideration RZ 02-03.doc 3 of 7 BUILDING SETBACKS 40 Required Setback Proposed Setback SW 45t Street 15 feet 30 feet Rear and East Side and 10 feet 10 feet North Rear and 15 feet 15 feet West Rear and 15 feet 15 feet Traffic Analysis: The traffic analysis indicates the existing R-IC zoning (44 SF homes) would generate 488 daily vehicle trips while the development as currently proposed (55 townhouse and zero lot line units) would generate 465 daily trips; a decrease of about 4%. Because the primary road leading to the project (SW 29th Terrace) is undersized, the traffic consultant recommended that some or all project traffic enter and exit the site via SWth 45 Street connecting to SW 28 Terrace/SW 28 Avenue. At the Planning and Zoning Advisory Board public hearing, some adjacent property owners suggested that access to the project be routed through Griffin Marine Park (via SW 30th Avenue) to separate project traffic from the existing neighborhood. Applicant has revised his site plan accordingly. The latest traffic report, based on Griffin Marine Park vehicle access, concludes that ".....impacts associated from the (project) could be sufficiently accommodated by the existing roadway network...."and "...sight distance on SW 30" Avenue is adequate for a passenger vehicle to turn lett out of Griffin Marine Park" The ''no left turn" exit sign was installed based on previous city staff concerns that vehicles pulling boat trailers would not have sufficient time to complete the left turn onto SW 30th Avenue. The City's Public Works/Utilities Director indicates that the Broward County Traffic Engineering Department has no objection to removing the existing no left turn sign. SUMMARY Typical townhouse development is 10 — 12 units per acre. At 6.25 dwelling units per acre, this project provides more open space, covers less land, and provides more opportunity for tree preservation than conventional townhouse development. For comparison, Griffin Lakes was approved at 12 units per acre; Oakridge and Treasure Cove town homes were approved at 10 units per acre. 40 Shiff Cape FearZoning Reconsideration RZ 02-03.doc 4 of 7 Because the surrounding property is zoned and developed as single family residential, the following issues should be addressed prior to issuance of building permits. (1) This project is located west of Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and may be impacted by current plans to extend the south parallel runway at the airport. The developer shall acknowledge and agree to provide notice to prospective purchasers of airport/runway expansion plans in HOA documents. (2) Construction of the boat basin and parallel dockage will require multi- jurisdictional review and approval by federal, state, or county environmental permitting agencies. Please note that City Commission site plan approval of the boat basin and dockage creates no expectation of approval by any federal, state, and/or county environmental permitting agency. (3) Building setbacks dimensions consistent with the approved site plan shall be clearly indicated on the construction plans. (4) Installation of screen enclosures and/or patios shall require approval of a revised site plan by the City Commission. Please note screen enclosures must comply with building setback requirements. (5) The applicant shall obtain the approval of the Assistant to the City Manager for any modifications to Griffin Marine Park, including approval of tree relocation, preservation, or replacement. (6) Applicant to obtain the approval of Broward County Traffic Engineering regarding removal of the "no left turn" sign at SW 30th Avenue Access. (7) Applicant to show location of roll-out garbage containers. Applicant to identify location of mail boxes. (8) Town homes located adjacent to SW 45th Street shall be limited to two stories in height. (9) Identify a/c units on the site plan (a/c units may be prohibited in between zero lot line units based on window placement). (10) Payment of additional cost recovery fees (as required) prior to issuance of any building permits.

A total of 44 townhouses and i16 zero4ot-line single-family residential dwelling units are proposed for the development. It is my understanding that in accordance with the current zoning for the property, a maximum of 44 single-family residential dwelling units could be constructed on the site. A site plan has not been provided our office; as such,our review consisted of analysis of the McMahon traffic study, review of aerial photographs and field reviews of area roadways and traffic conditions. McMahon Associates performed trip generation calculations to quantify A.M. peak-hour, P.M. peak-hour and daily project traffic volumes, using formulae available from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)Trip Generation Report, 6t'Edition. Data from the ITE land use categories"Single-Family Detached Housing (210)"and"Residential Condominium/Townhouse(230)"were employed. The methodology and manner in which trip generation analysis was performed is consistent with accepted traffic engineering practice;our calculations confirm that trip generation volumes shown in Table 1 of McMahon Associates are valid. Our office calculated trip generation volumes if the site were developed as 44 single-family residential dwelling units,the maximum allowable development scenario per its current zoning designation. These calculations were performed using the ITE Trip Generation Report formulae for single-family detached housing. The table below summarizes project traffic volumes for the site if developed as proposed and if developed as 44 single-family dwelling units. CAPE FEAR TRIP GENERATION VOLUMES Daily Trips A.M. Peak Trips P.M. Peak Trips As proposed 516 VPD 48 VPH 52 VPH Per zoning g 488 VPD 40 VPH 51 VPH Additional Trips as Proposed 28 VPD 8 VPH 1 VPH City of Dania Beach January 16, 2003 ® Page 2 As the above table shows,the project would generate 488 vehicles per day(VPD),40 vehicles per hour (VPH) during the A.M. peak and 51 VPH during the P.M. peak if developed as 44 single-family homes. As proposed,the project will generate 516 VPD,48 VPH during the A.M. peak hour and 52 VPH during the P.M. peak hour. Thus,the project as proposed will generate 28 additional daily trips, eight additional A.M. peak-hour trips and one additional P.M. peak-hourtrip than if developed at the maximum intensity permitted by its current zoning designation. These estimated additional trips do not represent a significant increase in traffic over that which 44 single-family detached homes would generate. With regard to access, SW 29th Terrace provides the most direct route between the subject property and the regional roadway network by means of Griffin Road. The intersection of Griffin Road and SW 29th Terrace is minor-street Stop-controlled and allows unrestricted access. Alternatively, a more circuitous access route between Griffin Road and the site is provided by way of SW 28th Avenue to/from SW 46th Street to/from SW 28th Terrace to/from SW 45th Street. The intersection of Griffin Road and SW 28th Avenue is traffic signal controlled. The McMahon study assumes a site-traffic distribution of 50 percent to and from the east and 50 percent to and from the west,via Griffin Road. Westbound exiting traffic was assigned down SW 29th Terrace in order to access Griffin Road. Eastbound exiting traffic was assigned the aforementioned"SW 45th Street to SW 2e Terrace to SW 46th Street to SW 28th Avenue"route to access Griffin Road. Since the left tum egress movement required to access eastbound Griffin Road is facilitated by traffic signal control at SW 28th Avenue, it is not unreasonable to assume that some degree of exiting site traffic will utilize that more ® circuitous route. However, it is unlikely that project traffic arriving from the east will utilize that route to enter the site; rather,that traffic is expected to gain site access via the direct route of SW 29th Terrace. Similarly, it is unlikely that project traffic arriving from the west will drive beyond SW 29th Terrace to SW 28th Avenue and then utilize the longer circuitous route to the site. Rather,westbound entering traffic is expected to turn left at SW 29th Terrace to gain access to the site. As such, most if not all of the 33 P.M. peak-hour entering project trips shown in Table 1 or the McMahon study will access the development via SW 29th Terrace. In consideration of the above,the maximum peak directional impact from this project is expected to occur during the P.M. peak hour, rather than during the A.M. peak hour, as stated in the McMahon report. Further,the peak directional impact is estimated to be 33 VPH ratherthan 19 VPH. The McMahon study states that the peak-hour peak-direction Level of Service (LOS) 'D' maximum service volume (a.k.a. capacity)of the local roads(i.e. SW 29th Terrace, SW 28th Avenue)is 530 VPH,a value obtained from the Florida Department of Transportation's 2002 Level of Service Handbook. In consideration of that capacity value, project traffic on SW 29th Terrace from the development as proposed will constitute approximately 6.2 percent of the road's capacity, rather than 3.6 percent as stated in the report. It is stated repeatedly in the McMahon report that roadway pavement widths on SW 2e Terrace and SW 45th Street are substandard. The pavement width along SW 29th Terrace is noted to vary from 11.3 feet to 16 feet and pavement width along SW 45th Street is noted to vary from 13 feet to 14 feet. This is generally consistent with observations and measurements performed by our firm during a field review of the site and area roadway network. Figure 1 below provides a photograph depicting a south-facing view of SW 29th Terrace as it intersects with SW 45th Street. The road flares out to an approximate maximum width of 16 feet at the intersection, but tapers significantly toward the south. A utility pole can be seen on the west side of the street.

The left image in Figure 2 above shows the east leg of the intersection of SW 45t"'Street and SW 2V, Terrace,while the right image shows the west leg of the intersection. As mentioned,the road is generally 14 feet wide. Many municipalities within Broward County accept 24 feet as the roadway width standard for a two-lane, two-way local street. While we generally concur with the finding of the McMahon report that traffic volumes from the Cape Fear development as proposed will not significantly impact the neighborhood roadway system, our office has concerns as to the development being afforded safe and adequate access due to the previously discussed substandard roadway widths depicted in the above photos. i City of Dania Beach January 16, 2003 Page 4 Our office offers potential alternatives to address the"safe and adequate access"issue for the Cape Fear project. These alternatives are offered without benefit of right-of-way maps and surveys of the area. Thus, some of these alternatives may not be feasible to implement due to lack of adequate right-of-way, utility interference, etc. Any alternatives that might be considered for implementation may require further study. These alternatives are summarized as follows: Widen SW 29th Terrace to allow for safe two-directional flow. Of course, the viability of this alternative is predicated on the availability of adequate right-of-way. -Construct a diagonal traffic diverter channeling Cape Fear project traffic to and from SW 45th Street, precluding access between the site and SW 29th Terrace. SW 45th Street from the project's access driveway to SW 28th Terrace should be widened to allow for safe two-directional flow. Figure 3 depicts a diagonal traffic diverter. t �L. n 7 i r Figure 3. Diagonal Traffic Diverter -Construct an entrance barrier(a.k.a. partial closure)at the south departure of SW 29th Terrace at its intersection with SW 45th Street(see Figure 4). This will aid in limiting traffic flow along SW 29th Terrace such that only local traffic(trips originating from developments located along SW 29th Terrace)will travel southbound along the road.This measure could be implemented in conjunction with channelization of the project's exit lane to force traffic to turn left onto eastbound SW 45th Street. ISM C;;941 I'M ��. Figure 4. Entrance Barrier i City of Dania Beach January 16, 2003 Page 5 Implementation of either the diagonal traffic diverter or the entrance barrier alternative will channel project traffic along SW 45t' Street. Regardless of which if either of those traffic calming measures is adopted, SW 45t' Street should be widened to allow for safe two-directional flow. In summation, the development of Cape Fear as proposed will generate slightly more traffic than development of the property at the maximum intensity permitted by its current zoning designation. The traffic impact on SW 29t'Terrace from Cape Fear project traffic is expected to exceed five percent of the roadway's capacity.As noted in the McMahon study, roadway pavement widths on SW 29t'Terrace and SW 45 h Street are substandard. They should be widened to a width of 24 feet to allow for safe and adequate two-way access to and from the site. If right-of-way or other limitations preclude the ability to widen SW 29t' Terrace to 24 feet, one of the above-discussed traffic calming techniques should be constructed to restrict or minimize the utilization of SW 29�'Terrace by Cape Fear project traffic.

The traffic study was performed in consideration of recent revisions to the site plan. As currently proposed, development will consist of 43 townhouses, 12 zero-lot-line single-family residential dwelling units and an ancillary marina facility to be for residents' use only. Access for the project is proposed through Griffin Marine Park; as such, project traffic will access the regional roadway network at the park's driveway connection to SW 30t'Avenue. The McMahon study includes an analysis of existing and projected future P.M. peak-hour traffic operating conditions at the intersection of SW 30th Avenue and SW 451h Street/Griffin Marine Park driveway and daily and peak-hour roadway link analysis of SW 30'Avenue. In discussing the revised site plan with the project's Architect, Michael Shiff,we requested that a sight distance analysis be performed in conjunction with the applicant's request for the removal of the existing left-turn prohibition at the Griffin Marine Park egress driveway. We further requested that the applicant coordinate with Broward County regarding the removal of the left-turn prohibition as SW 30'h Avenue is a Broward County Trafficway. The McMahon report states that a sight distance analysis(between the driveway and bridge over the Dania Cut-off Canal to the north)was performed; however, no formal discussion of a sight distance analysis predicated on any pertinent industry standards,(i.e. AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Designs of Highways and Streets 2001, FDOT's Design Standards) is provided in the report. Rather, a brief statement is included in the report providing the distance between the driveway and the top of the bridge,concluding that that distance was adequate to allow a westbound left-turn movement from the Griffin Marine Park driveway onto southbound SW 30th Avenue. As mentioned, that movement is currently prohibited by signage. McMahon Associates performed trip generation calculations to quantify A.M. peak-hour, P.M. peak-hour and daily project traffic volumes, using formulae available from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)Trip Generation Report, 61h Edition. Data from the ITE land use categories"Single-Family Detached Housing(210)" d"anResidential Condom inium/Townhouse(230)"were employed. The methodology and manner in which trip generation analysis was performed is consistent with accepted traffic engineering practice;our calculations generally conform to trip generation volumes shown in Table 1 of the McMahon study. City of Dania Beach February 18, 2003 Page 2 Our office calculated trip generation volumes if the site were developed as 44 single-family residential dwelling units, the maximum allowable development scenario per its current zoning designation. These calculations were performed using the ITE Trip Generation Report formulae for single-family detached housing. The table below summarizes project traffic volumes for the site if developed as proposed and if developed as 44 single-family dwelling units. DANIA BEACH WATERFRONT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TRIP GENERATION VOLUMES Daily I ps A.M. Peak Trips P.M. Peak Trips As proposed 465 VPD 44 VPH 47 VPH Per zoning 488 VPD 40 VPH 51 VPH Trip inc./dec. as proposed -23 VPD 4 VPH -4 VPH As the above table shows, the project would generate 488 vehicles per day(VPD), 40 vehicles per hour (VPH)during the A.M. peak and 51 VPH during the P.M. peak if developed as 44 single-family homes. As proposed, the project will generate 465 VPD, 44 VPH during the A.M. peak hour and 47 VPH during the P.M. peak hour. Thus, the project as proposed will generate -23 fewer daily trips, four additional A.M. peak-hour trips and four fewer P.M. peak-hour trips than if developed at the maximum intensity permitted by its current zoning designation. These above-shown A.M. peak-hour trip increase does not represent a significant increase in traffic over that which 44 single-family detached homes would generate, particularly considering that"as proposed" daily and P.M..peak-hour trips are lower than "per zoning" trips. McMahon Associates estimates site-traffic distribution based on.the directional split of traffic on SW 30' Avenue. Based on their P.M. peak-hour volumes, McMahon identified a 78-percent southbound, 22 • percent northbound traffic split, and assumed those values in their site-traffic distribution of P.M. peak- hour project trips. They reversed the directional split for A.M. peak-hour site traffic distribution. A review of the 24-hour traffic volumes for SW 30th Avenue north of Griffin Road provided in Appendix B of the report shows a significantly more even directional distribution of traffic along SW 30 Avenue. During the A.M. peak hour, the directional distribution is 49.5 percent southbound, 50.5 percent northbound and during the P.M. peak hour, the directional distribution is 51.7 percent southbound, 48.3 percent northbound. Due to the inconsistency in directional distribution of traffic along SW 30th Avenue, a more reliable means by which to estimate trip distribution for the proposed residential development is through a review of traffic volumes entering and exiting SW 45th Street west of SW 30th Avenue. SW 45th Street turns into SW 30th Way, which then ends in a cul-de-sac; all development along SW 45th Street and SW 30th Way is residential in nature similar to the proposed development. Our review of those volumes shows that traffic entering and exiting SW 45th Street via SW 30th Avenue exhibit a directional distribution of approximately 40 percent to and from the north and 60 percent to and from the south. Our firm revised project turning movement volumes shown in Appendix A of the McMahon report in accordance with the distribution values predicated on local residential traffic. Additionally, our firm estimated traffic volumes at the intersection of SW 30"' Avenue and SW 45th Street for BridgeWater Estates, a 20-unit single-family project to be developed on the north side of SW 45th Street just west of SW 30th Avenue. The McMahon study did not consider traffic from BridgeWater Estates, which has recently broken ground. Unsignalized intersection capacity analysis was performed by our firm using HCS2000 in consideration of the revised site-traffic distribution and additional traffic from BridgeWater Estates. Results were similar to those per the McMahon analysis; levels of service remained the same but minor changes in delay values were identified. The roadway link analysis in the McMahon study was also modified to consider revised site-traffic distribution and traffic from BridgeWater Estates. Again, the resulting levels of service were consistent.­__.,_,,_r with those in the McMahon study. F E B 1 8 2003 +J Tinter Associates, Inc. a Transportation Engineers C.- City of Dania Beach February 18, 2003 Page 3 Analysis was performed to assess the intersection sight distance for westbound vehicles turning left out of the Griffin Marine Park driveway onto southbound SW 30th Avenue. To allow a vehicle stopped on the minor street to safely turn into traffic on the mainline (major) road, sufficient intersection sight distance must be provided to the driver of the stopped vehicle. The criteria by which to determine the appropriate intersection sight distance requirements are set forth by A Policy on Geometric Designs of Highways and Streets 2001, Fourth Edition, published by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials(AASHTO). The variables on which sight distance requirements are predicated per the AASHTO publication include the design speed of the major street,the type of vehicle making the turn, the number and width of major-street lanes and the type and width of the median on the major street, if one exists. A survey of the intersection of SW 30th Avenue and SW 45th Street was conducted on Wednesday, February 12,2003,to inventory field conditions and measure the intersection sight distance. The survey was completed in accordance with AASHTO methodology,with a driver's eye height of 3.5 feet(from the minor street) and the object height of 2.0 feet (from the center of the major-street through lane). The design criteria for a passenger car(AASHTO"P"vehicle)were used for our sight distance analysis. The vertex or"decision point"of the departure sight triangle represents the typical position of the minor-street driver's eye when a vehicle is stopped close to the major road, at which point the driver decides to enter the major-street flow of traffic. The AASHTO publication notes that the vertex of the sight triangle should be 14.4 feet from the edge of pavement, and where practical, it is desirable to increase that distance to 17.8 feet. The document also notes that for most U.S. passenger vehicles, the maximum distance from the front of the car to the driver's eye is almost always 8.0 feet or less. Considering this 8.0-foot standard, the front of the minor-street stopped vehicle should be 6.4 feet from.the edge of pavement;the"desirable" increased distance is then 9.8 feet from the front of the vehicle to the edge of pavement. This is • consistent with existing conditions for the Griffin Marine Park driveway approach to SW 30th Avenue. In consideration of the criteria discussed herein, the sight distance to the right is approximately 467 feet. Per the AASHTO criteria, the driver is not afforded sight distance of 527 to the top of the bridge as stated in the McMahon report, due to landscaping in the median of SW 30" Avenue. The minimum intersection sight distance requirement outlined in the AASHTO document was identified for the field conditions at the studied driveway. The posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour was considered as the design speed for SW 30th Avenue. The minimum recommended sight distance as identified from Exhibit 9-56 of the AASHTO report is approximately 400 feet. Thus,the measured 467-foot sight distance to the right exceeds the AASHTO minimum requirement. In summation,Tinter Associates, Inc.generally concurs with the finding of the McMahon study that traffic impacts from the proposed Dania Beach Waterfront Residential Development could be sufficiently accommodated by the existing area roadway network. Further, sight distance is adequate for a passenger vehicle to turn left out of the Griffin Marine Park driveway onto southbound SW 30th Avenue, per the AASHTO criteria discussed herein. As mentioned, we urge the applicant to contact Broward County with regard to their request to eliminate the left-turn restriction that they want eliminated.
