Commissioner Mikes mentioned that the City would be increasing in size with the addition of
properties from the newly annexed area coming into the City September 15, 2001. He

a workshop meeting be scheduled with the residents prior to adopting the Ordinance as a way
• of bringing the residents into the Code Enforcement process.
City Attorney Ansbro advised that under State Statute 162 cities are authorized to create Code
Enforcement Boards, which can only include 7 members. Unless someone resigns from the
board there would not be any openings on the board when the newly annexed area is officially
brought into the City September 15, 2001.
Mayor Flury was of the opinion that the City was going to extend a six-month grace period for
the residents in regards to Code Enforcement and hold workshops to educate residents on the
City's requirements. Acting City Manager Nunemaker agreed with the Mayor's comments. He
clarified that the Ordinance would allow the City to foreclose on some nuisance properties and
help clear up some nuisance problems so that the City could work with Habitat for Humanity on
building homes in the City.
Commissioner Mikes advised that the Ordinance makes some significant changes to Code
Enforcement and that the residents from the newly annexed area will not have an opportunity to
work with the community if the Ordinance is adopted before the educational workshops are
scheduled.

Condominiums are currently zoned R-3A); and to provide spacing requirements between

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO THE ZONING
APPENDIX OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES; AMENDING THE ZONING APPENDIX BY

BY AMENDING SECTION 33-308 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO UPDATE THE NAMES

ANTENNAS IN MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, WITH SPACING
REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER REGULATIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING
• FOR SEVERANCE; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (SECOND READING)
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that this is the second reading of the
Ordinance, which will allow stealth antennas in the R-3A zoning district and adds a number of
new requirements regulating stealth antennas approved in multi-family areas not currently in the
Code. Mr. Leeds mentioned that the Planning & Zoning Board recommended denial and that
the City Commission approved the Ordinance on first reading April 24, 2001.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Ralph Viviano, President of Meadowbrook Condominium Phase IV, read a letter from
Meadowbrook Condominium Phase IV in favor of the antenna as a revenue source to cover
maintenance costs of the condominium and stating that the antenna is no more of a safety
concern than televisions or microwave ovens.
Al Marsh, Meadowbrook Condominium, urged the City Commission to approve the antenna
request as a way to supplement the maintenance costs of the Meadowbrook buildings.
Bernard Gagnon, 111 SE 3 Avenue, supported the antenna request and pointed out that the
matter pertains to residents at Meadowbrook Condominium and not residents in the surrounding
residential community.
Arthur Leon, 131 SE 3 Avenue, requested approval of the antenna and pointed out that the high
• cost of maintenance on the condominiums creates a burden on residents who are on fixed
incomes.
MINUTES 7 MAY 22, 2001
DANIA BEACH CITY COMMISSION
• Phyllis Weiner, 141 SE 4 Avenue, spoke in opposition of the antenna. She mentioned that there
are internal problems with the condominium board as a meeting has not been scheduled with
the unit owners to approve the antenna request and that a vote of 75% of the members must be
accomplished before the antenna can be approved for the condominium.
Ralph Viviano clarified that the Text Change Ordinance that is being voted on tonight must be
passed by the City Commission before a Condominium Board meeting could be scheduled with
the members.
Chickee Brandimarte, Meadowbrook Condominium, reminded the City Commission that a
petition signed by 500 residents living at Meadowbrook and residents from the surrounding
single-family community opposing the antenna installation was submitted some time ago. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not require the City to change its zoning laws to
accommodate telecommunication installations. She mentioned that there are many other
alternative locations for the installations of the stealth antennas throughout the City.
Vince Labriola, 441 SE 3 Street, opposed the antenna installation based on his 25 years of
electronic experience. He presented comments from an article about the Vatican Radio being
made to move one of its main transmitters because of the high rate of Leukemia at the Vatican.
He also presented Internet information stating that the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) does not routinely measure RF radiation fields associated with antenna
installations and how limited studies have indicated that exposure may be exceeded with some
rooftop antenna installations.
• Commissioner Bertino mentioned that the Federal government does not allow municipalities to
consider the safety factors in denying the antenna requests as the telecommunications industry
have a strong lobbyists backing. He pointed out that the amount of revenue expected from each
unit at Meadowbrook is $62.00 for the entire year and that the amount is not sufficient compared
to the safety concerns. He recommended that all residential areas be excluded from the
antenna use based on the fact that the City provides other industrial and business zones for the
antenna installations.
Commissioner Mikes clarified that the issue tonight is a text change, which includes additional
restrictions like minimum distance and building heights to protect the residents. He pointed out
that Stealth antennas are low powered and are directional units. The FCC places additional
restrictions on the power output when they are located on residential structures, which
restrictions exceed the requirements for commercial structures. He explained to the public that
safety information would be provided by experts at the time the telecommunication company
presents its Special Exception request. In addition, other condominium buildings in the City
already approve the antennas. The City is legally obligated to allow some type of antenna
structures to be installed and other cities have approved towers in residential communities and
permits for the installations. The City of Dania Beach will require every application to obtain
Special Exception approval, which involves a rigorous approval process where engineers and
experts will be required to testify that the antenna installations are not harmful. Commissioner
Mikes agreed that hand held cell phones used close to the brain over a long period of time
probably pose a health concern but that the stealth antennas are low powered units.
Commissioner Bertino confirmed with Attorney Ansbro that if a petitioner meets the Special
. Exception criteria it would then be incumbent upon the City to show that the company does not
meet the criteria in order to deny the approval. Commissioner Bertino expressed concern for the
MINUTES 8 MAY 22, 2001
DANIA BEACH CITY COMMISSION
over use of cell phones with young people and recommended removing all use of antennas
. from residential areas.
Mayor Flury advised that there is no official organization anywhere in the world that has
indicated that the antenna use is hazardous and mentioned that she worked for 43 years in a
building with 47 antennas without any health problems. Mayor Flury pointed out that these
stealth antennas have been approved for hotels, which include many people who spend
significant time working in the buildings, and that the City cannot discriminate on the use of
safety standards with different groups of people.
Commissioner Mikes clarified with City Attorney Ansbro that Special Exception requests are the
most difficult and comprehensive zoning type approvals for petitioners to obtain from the City
Commission and that the City just won the FPL litigation based on a Special Exception use that
was denied by the City for a substation.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner McElyea, directing
City Attorney Ansbro to write an ordinance removing all stealth antennas from residential
districts.
The motion failed on the following 2/3 roll call vote:

9.5 SP-11-01 —Site plan request by Robert B. Lochrie, III, representing Park IN Fly, Inc., for
the construction of a 1,229 space commercial parking lot as a principal use on properties known
as the Pegasus Executive and Eller Industrial Properties. Property located east of Taylor Road,
South of Eller Drive, and north of the Hertz Rent-a-car facility.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SITE PLAN
REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ATTORNEY ROBERT B. LOCHRIE III, REPRESENTING PARK IN
FLY, INC., FOR PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF TAYLOR ROAD, SOUTH OF ELLER DRIVE
AND NORTH OF THE HERTZ RENT-A-CAR FACILITY IN DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Attorney Robert Lochrie, representing Park `N Fly, Inc., advised that the request was for a
parking facility along with a transportation and service facility located at Taylor Road and NE 7'h
Avenue. He explained that 13 other Park IN Fly facilities are located throughout the country and
that buses pick up the customers and return them to their cars. The subject site is 12 acres and
encompasses two zoning districts as the northern portion is within the old County M-3 zoning
district and the southern portion is within the PEDD zoning district. Attorney Lochrie advised
that the City Commission would not normally review site plans for the M-3 zoning district,
however, at the time the use was approved Park IN Fly agreed to go through the site plan
process. Mr. Lochrie reviewed the site plan rendering and explained the landscaping
improvements with the City Commission.
On behalf of his client, Attorney Lochrie agreed to enter into an agreement to pay the City $9.00
• per parking space, which would increase Occupational License fees over $11,000.00 in
exchange for a waiver of the M-3 landscaping requirements. Mr. Lochrie was agreeable to
including a covenant running with the land that would release the City of any future legal action
on the Occupational License fees. He explained that current ad valorem taxes for the site are
$63,849 a year and that Dania Beach receives roughly $12,866.00.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, agreed to support the proposal subject to the
two conditions provided in his staff memo. He clarified for the City Commission that they are not
obligated to approve the request because it does not meet Landscape Code requirements.
Commissioner Mikes recommended that the City stand firm on the original approval that
required the petitioner to comply with more intensive landscaping requirements under M-3
zoning.
Attorney Lochrie expressed his desire to work with the City in resolving the landscaping
concerns and to bring back a revised Site Plan.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, Mayor
Flury closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Bertino, continuing
the Site Plan request to the July 10, 2001, regular meeting.

costs would be involved and he suggested that the four-month completion time be extended to
six months. Although, Mr. Leeds agreed with the intent of encouraging single-family home
ownership, he pointed out that a mass rezoning of duplex properties would make all of the
properties non-conforming. In the event that the buildings were demolished or destroyed due to
calamity, such as fire or hurricane, such that 75% of the floor area was not usable, the property
owner could not rebuild a duplex and would only be permitted to build a single family home. Mr.
Leeds expressed concern that there could be difficulty with the mass rezoning as there would
be very little to negotiate with property owners who may object to the change.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, Mayor
Flury closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Bertino agreed that there could be some problems, however, the rezoning would
be beneficial to the City in the long run.
Commissioner Mikes recommended going forward with the rezoning as a way to gain control
over the negative impact from rentals in neighborhoods so that a stronger community attitude
towards single-family home ownership could be encouraged. He also added that crime would be
reduced in neighborhoods with home ownership.
Mr. Leeds explained that he did discuss some options with Commissioner Mikes that might
include alternatives separate from rezoning. He confirmed with City Attorney Ansbro that the
City could proceed with the Zoning in Progress even if the duplex zoning is not changed and
that current applications for duplex projects would be exempt from the Zoning in Progress.
City Attorney Ansbro clarified that the R-2 category should be included to the extent of property
east of 1-95.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Bertino, amending
the Resolution to include R-2 zoned properties east of 1-95 and RD-6000 zoning districts with a
six months completion and adopting the resolution as amended.

East has been advised of the City's Tree Ordinance requirements.

are expecting from the City. He mentioned that residents from the area have expressed
concern with drainage and traffic matters, which should be addressed before the September

that only involved a $20,000.00 match from the City.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that Winn Dixie had applied for a
building permit for facade renovations consisting primarily of a larger building elevation above
the store. Staff had asked that they make improvements to the parking lot and landscaping
areas and Winn Dixie does not desire to pursue the improvements at this time. He clarified that
the City Commission would not see the elevations as they do not require Site Plan review and
that copies can be provided upon request.
He advised that Publix had picked up their paving and grading permit for the new shopping
center and they will be removing the exotic vegetation in the back of the property that will most
likely be a shock in the appearance of the area. He clarified that the Meadowbrook
Condominium agreed with the removal of the existing vegetation and opted for new vegetation
at the time the Publix site plan was approved. In addition, Meadowbrook has advised the City
that they have a funding problem and cannot continue with the removal of the Australian Pines
along SE 3rd Street.
Mr. Leeds explained the items that will be discussed at the May 24th Workshop Meeting and
mentioned that Main Street representatives are expected to attend.
Mr. Leeds agreed to review the Code to determine if the Tree Preservation requirements could
be amended to deal with the phasing-in of replacement trees for large scale projects.

this Friday and that he would be reviewing those requests with Dave Keller, Finance Director.

13.2 City Attorney Ansbro requested an Attorney/Client Session on the JJ Kelly litigation at
6:30 on June 12tn
Attorney Ansbro advised that correspondence was received from Doug Halsey, White & Case,
P.A., regarding whether the City has any standing, at this point, to challenge the interim
decisions being made by FAA in light of the draft EIS. The attorneys concluded, under review of
case law, that any action by the City would be premature and dismissed. However, the City
would have an opportunity in the future to comment once the final EIS is prepared. He explained
that the FAA decision would be a "Final Agency Action" once the Record of Decision (ROD) is
approved and that the FAA could order additional studies such as a supplemental
environmental impact statement before the administrative process is complete. Attorney Ansbro
mentioned that the EPA letter was very helpful to the City in this matter.
Attorney Ansbro reported that he had spoken with Bart Vernace, FAA in Orlando, who advised
him that under Section 5 of the Freedom of Information Act that FAA would not likely be
providing the comments submitted from all parties on the draft EIS. However, a letter has been
sent to the Atlanta FAA office making a formal request of information by Charlene Johnson,
Acting City Clerk. Commissioner Mikes suggested contacting a Federal Elected official that
might be able to assist in the matter.
