Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained the street closure locations approved by the
Dania Heights Civic Association for a temporary demonstration project. He advised that the street
closure project was proposed by Chief Anton, BSO, as a means of reducing street and drug crimes.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Robert Prudhomme, 300 SW 16 Street, spoke in favor of the street closure plan based on the success
of the program in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. He asked that the City Commission to also consider
closing SW 3d Avenue based on the high number of accidents that have occurred in the area.
Jeff Dale, 1304 SW 2nd Avenue, supported the street closure plan but pointed out that SW 2"d Avenue
is used as a bypass to get to US 1. Once the street closure program is implemented, he was concerned
with the impact on traffic flow without any speed signs and bumps or stop signs to slow the traffic. He
urged the City Commission to consider the impact on the residents living along SW 2"d Avenue and to
realize that property values may also be impacted.
Jacqueline Pinedo, 1302 SW 2nd Avenue, advised that she has difficulty crossing SW 2"d Avenue due
to the speeding and traffic problems that currently exist and requested the City to take safety measures
with the new plan.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, agreed that the traffic will have to be monitored to see
how SW 2"d Avenue is impacted during the six-month period. Mr. Leeds clarified that SW 2"d Avenue
at Sheridan Street is being left open at the request of Fire Rescue to maintain an alternative emergency
access route to Sheridan Street should Federal Highway be blocked. As requested by the public, he
agreed to speak with Chief Anton, BSO, on installing Crime Watch signs for the area.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 6 APRIL 10, 2001
Commissioner McElyea mentioned that currently people traveling west-bound on Sheridan Street turn
onto 4th Avenue and cross Dixie Highway to get to Stirling Road. He was concerned that the street
closures may create a serious traffic backup when the railroad tracks are closed for a long train. Mr.
Leeds concurred and indicated that the City may very well have to hire a Traffic Engineering Consultant
at the end of the six-month period to address traffic issues.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, recognized Teddy Bohannan and June Silvernale for
extending their time and efforts to work with the community on this project.
A motion was made by Commissioner McElyea, seconded by Vice-Mayor Chunn, adopting the
Resolution approving the street closure project for a six-month trial period.
The motion passed on the following 4/0 roll call vote:
Commissioner McElyea-yes Vice-Mayor Chunn-yes

At this time, City Attorney Ansbro advised that Items 9.5 through 9.8 are Quasi-Judicial matters. He

CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the shopping center is located on the
west side of Federal Highway near Stirling Road. The petitioner has requested a waiver from Chapter
28, Article 28, "Signs" to allow four various sized wall signs and existing window signs to remain. In
addition, Mr. Glassman requested to replace the existing "Checks Cashed/Auto Tag Agency" sign with
a "Checks Cashed/Rapid Tax/Cell Phone" sign. Mr. Leeds explained that the Planning & Zoning
Advisory Board recommended approval of the four signs and denial of all window signs.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Paul Porzio, 220 SE 1 Street, pointed out that window signs are needed for businesses that are
setback from Federal Highway and urged the City Commission to consider that Jackson's Ice Cream
has operated with the use of window signs for many years.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Flury closed the public hearing.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, estimated the buildings in the shopping center to be
100 feet back from Federal Highway, which distinguishes them from most of the businesses in the
downtown area that are located close to Federal Highway.

Board meeting, Mr. Camacho presented two (2) alternative designs for review by the City Commission.
The two plans were shown for the public and Mr. Leeds explained each alternative.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Charles Camacho, 121 NE 3 Street, commented on his efforts to improve the property over the past
eight months and he explained that the air conditioning units were installed before he was aware that
he needed a variance. He mentioned that Plan A involves moving the two larger units 24", pouring four
new slabs, redoing the electrical for an estimated cost of$3,800. Plan B involves moving two of the
units 60 feet, the other two units 3 feet closer to the building and replacing the refrigeration line at an
estimated cost of over $6,000.00.
Joel Remi, 246 NE 2 Avenue, objected to the variance request due to noise impact on his residence
and mentioned his communication with the City involving address, drainage and landscape screening
concerns with the property during the construction process.

(1) changing the time of the regular meetings; (2) hiring a grant writer; (3) conducting a compliance audit

11. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
11.1 Discussion of possible amendment to beach parking requirements. (Acting City Manager)
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 10 APRIL 10, 2001
Acting City Manager Nunemaker advised that a resident recently was approved for a beach parking
sticker with a drivers license and a copy of a tax bill.
Discussion followed on what constitutes a homestead and residency in the City. The City Commission
generally agreed that a person should show identification that they live in the City in order to be granted
a beach sticker. A tax bill would not be sufficient because it shows ownership of property but does not
provide confirmation that the person lives in the City.
Mayor Flury requested that Acting City Manager Nunemaker check into beach revenues to see if they
have decreased since the installation of the automated parking meters.
11.2 Reduction of legal fees and implementation of Request for Legal Services (RLS). (Acting City
Manager)
Acting City Manager Nunemaker presented the RLS form as a way to control and minimize legal fees
with the City Attorney's office.
City Attorney Ansbro advised of his intentions to take a pro-active approach to reducing the legal fees
and mentioned that the City's Codes are very antiquated, which has increased legal work. The City has
also implemented cost recovery with developers on some projects. He agreed that the form would be a
good idea because the necessary backup materials could be attached, which would reduce his time
locating documents.
11.3 Discussion of closing Park Street for additional parking for City Hall. (Acting City Manager)
Acting City Manager Nunemaker withdrew Item 11.3.
Item 11.4 was heard after Item 7.4
11.4 Discussion regarding setting public hearing date for proposed "Stealth Antenna" Amendments to
Telecommunication Ordinance. (Staff)
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that "Stealth Antenna" are currently
prohibited in all single-family and two-family residential districts and that the proposed text amendment
would not change this policy. Currently, the Planning & Zoning Board and the City Commission review
stealth antennas on a case-by-case basis in the following zoning districts:
1) Apartments and Condominiums zoned R-M, RM-1, RM-2 and R-M3.
2) Business and Commercial Uses zoned C-2, C-3, C-4 and B-3.
3) Industrial Uses zoned IRO, IR, IG and IROM.
Mr. Leeds advised that the only change that would result if the proposed amendment is eventually
approved would be to allow stealth antennas in Meadowbrook Condominium. Most other condominium
and apartment complexes in the City are already zoned for this use. Meadowbrook's current zoning
designation of (R-3A) does not permit stealth antennas without a text change.
Mr. Leeds indicated that Voicestream Wireless was denied a Special Exception application to locate a
"Stealth Antenna" on top of Meadowbrook Condominium "B" in July 2000. Voicestream subsequently
appealed the decision September 26, 2000, which was also denied. The City Commission
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 11 APRIL 10, 2001
subsequently directed staff to prepare a text amendment to allow stealth antennas in Meadowbrook
Condominum subject to various limitations.
Mr. Leeds advised that the draft ordinance would allow up to eight (8) stealth rooftop or building
mounted stealth antennas from one provider as a Special Exception with certain conditions. Based on
the proposed minimum separation requirement of 1000 feet between antennas in multi-family districts
only one stealth antenna array could be granted for the Meadowbrook Condominium.
City Attorney Ansbro commented on several methods used by telecommunications companies to install
antennas on poles and to address the aesthetic issues. He advised that FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) controls the use of the antennas and that cites, counties and states are required to give
reasonable access to the telecommunications companies.
Commissioner Mikes advised that the City has the most restrictive ordinance in Broward County as
stealth antennas are not allowed anywhere without going through a rigorous Special Exception
approval process.
Although this was not an advertised public hearing, Mayor Flury allowed public comments:
Chickee Brandimarte, 101 SE 3 Avenue, Meadowbrook Condominium, presented a petition with some
500 signatures from residents throughout the City opposing telecommunications towers and antennas
in residential areas.
Ralph Viviano, 131 SE 3 Avenue, Meadowbrook Condominium Phase IV, explained that his
Condominium Association is in favor of the Voicestream antenna request as a revenue source to cover
maintenance costs of the buildings, utility costs and high insurance premiums for the association. Mr.
Viviano advised that there are many residents in his association that are watching on television tonight
who are in favor of the antenna because they are on fixed incomes and know that the additional income
is needed for operating costs. Mr. Viviano pointed out that a petition was supplied to the City months
ago with signatures supporting the antenna.
Commissioner Mikes explained that the telecommunications companies desire to construct antennas
on high buildings rather than building freestanding towers and that they are not interested in single
family neighborhoods. He pointed out that the City cannot exceed certain restrictions of the law and
that the antenna request should go to the public hearing so that everyone can be heard and safety
issues can be addressed.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner McElyea, directing staff to
present the text change ordinance at a full public hearing to allow open testimony from all residents.
The motion passed on the following 4/0 roll call vote:
Commissioner McElyea-yes Vice-Mayor Chunn-yes
Commissioner Mikes-yes Mayor Flury-yes
Item 5.1 was heard after Item 11.4.
Item 11.5 was heard after Item 11.3.
11.5 Discussion of status of City's airport EIS response due on April 20, 2001. (Commissioner Mikes)
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 12 APRIL 10, 2001
City Attorney Ansbro explained that a Special Meeting was held April 9th with Attorney Doug Halsey and
Attorney Erik Swensen, White & Case, LLP, to discuss their legal comments and a proposed letter to
be sent to the Federal Aviation Administration regarding the draft Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Expansion of Runway 9R-27L, Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The
environmental, water and air quality revisions requested by the City Commission at last night's meeting
have been incorporated in the revised draft that was provided tonight from Attorney Erik Swensen,
which also includes the letter going out under the Mayor's signature. City Attorney Ansbro advised the
public that the residents in the City can also send letters to the FAA by April 20th and that the address
for FAA is available in the City Manager's office.
Commissioner Mikes mentioned that Jay Field, Chairman of the Airport Advisory Board, presented a
drawing at last night's meeting of noise contours for a 737-200 Aircraft, which clearly showed that a 65
LDN (decibal noise) on a single event take off will be carried all the way to Sheridan Street. He pointed
out that the public needs to realize that most of the City is being impacted by the expansion of Runway
9R-27L either through the negative environmental, water or air quality impacts or by the noise pollution.
Commissioner Mikes suggested that the first priority should be to revise the last paragraph in the draft
letter to include language encouraging further studies by the DEIS of the North Runway alternatives
since these areas include primarily industrial and commercial properties. Language should be included
that the City of Dania Beach believes that Alternatives A & B would impose a less impact to the
residents from a pollution standpoint and that the City wants additional studies on dispersion modeling
of the South Runway proposal. Commissioner Mikes stated that FAA wants to discourage Alternatives
A and B because they have to knock down some buildings to use that approach, however, the impact
would be less on residential neighborhoods.
Acting City Manager Nunemaker advised that a Special Meeting could be scheduled April 17th at 7:00
p.m. in order to address additional comments that the City Commission may want to include in the EIS
response.
Mayor Flury mentioned that the impact on West Lake Park has been mentioned in the report and that
there may be a need to look at whether John Lloyd Park should also be included.
The City Commission generally agreed that the comments mentioned at this meeting should be
included in the report by White & Case, LLP and that the City Commission should receive the revised
report for further comments or changes prior to mailing the report in final form to the FAA by the April
20th deadline.
11.6 Discussion of status of City Manager employment search.
(Commissioner Mikes)
Acting City Manager Nunemaker presented a draft advertisement for the City Manager position.
Commissioner Mikes suggested that a workshop meeting be scheduled with representatives from ICMA
(International City Managers Association) and that the advertisement include information that Dania
Beach is a diverse community with Main Street and historical aspects and that the position will require a
"hands on" type of person.
Acting City Manager Nunemaker agreed to contact George Hanberry and Dick Black, ICMA, so as to
schedule a workshop with the City Commission and to also utilize Govern mentJobs.com on the Internet
and Nations Weekly for searching for a City Manager.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 13 APRIL 10, 2001
11.7 Discussion of RFP for Pier Restaurant. (City Manager)
Discussion followed on whether to advertise for bids for architectural design plans for a pier restaurant
or an RFP for a design-build that would include an architect and builder. City Attorney Ansbro advised
that anything over$25,000.00 has to be bid out in accordance with the law.
Commissioner Mikes mentioned that the previous City Commission had hired an architect to prepare
plans for a restaurant shell, bait shop and restrooms at the pier and that those plans should be
reviewed by the current City Commission.
Acting City Manager Nunemaker agreed to schedule a workshop meeting with Architect Neal Aronson
who presented architectural designs in 1998 so that the City Commission could review the previous
design and gather further information before making a decision on advertising for the project.
