The motion passed on the following 4/0 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent. Commissioner Etling-yes Commissioner Mikes —yes • Vice-Mayor Bertino —yes Mayor McElyea-yes Added discussion: At this time, Commissioner Mikes requested an update from City Manager Smith on storm preparations due to the possible threat from Hurricane Debby. City Manager Smith reported that all actions are being taken for initial preparation, that a conference call would be held with Broward County Emergency Preparedness tomorrow morning, and that weather advisories are being monitored closely. He urged the public to secure all large items in their yards, store debris inside, and not to trim trees at this point or expect special pickups. City Manager Smith advised that waste can be brought to the Public Works Compound at 1201 Stirling Road, but this would not include chemical materials. Commissioner Mikes commented on the problems with BFI, City's garbage hauler, from Hurricane Irene last October and stressed the need for staff to be available to answer calls at City Hall before and after the storm. At this time, Item 11.1 was addressed. Item 8.1 was heard after Item 11.5. MINUTES 4 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8.1 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICES, FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS AGAINST ASSESSED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2000; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the resolution. Commissioner Etling mentioned that his TRIM notice from the Broward County Property Appraiser's Office did not show special assessment amounts. City Manager Smith advised that a special notice was sent out separately to property owners on the special assessments. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Ralph Eddy, 150 SE 3 Avenue, opposed the Fire Rescue assessments as calculated and was dissatisfied that he has to pay $400 separately for emergency ambulance services to be transported to Hollywood Memorial Hospital on top of his ad valorem taxes. Chris Barile, 5099 SW 28 Avenue, owner of Ravenswood Paint & Body, 121 SE 1st Avenue, opposed the method used to calculate the Fire Rescue special assessments and passed out information from other cities showing lower assessment amounts for commercial properties between 5,000 to 9,999 square feet. Mr. Barile advised that his building is 6,000 square feet is and that he is being charged $1,467.00 this year, which is extremely high from last year's bill of $541.75. City Manager Smith explained that 30% of the cost to operate the City's Fire Department is collected through Non-Ad Valorem Special Assessments and that the balance of the Fire Department is funded by Ad Valorem taxes. The Fire Department provides high level emergency care under a one-tier system under which the same paramedic that assists a citizen with emergency medical needs also rides with that person to the hospital. He further explained that citizens are usually reimbursed for the charges to be transported to the hospital by insurance and that private haulers used to transport patients before Dania Beach went to a one- tier system and the charges for the service are roughly the same. City Manager Smith advised of a recent court decision that eliminated rescue call data from being used in the method for calculating proportionate amounts for Fire special assessments. The court decision created a significant increase in special assessments for commercial and industrial properties since they are the properties with the highest fire call data and these properties have not had to contribute their fair share since 1996. There is no increase in special assessments for single family residences as the amount remains at $81.00 per year. Vice-Mayor Bertino pointed out that there were many commercial properties designated as schools or institutions that were exempted from paying ad valorem taxes and that these categories of properties are now paying their fair share for services under the Special Assessment programs. • Fire Chief Land mentioned that there are many hidden costs with other cities through bond issues and that the City of Dania Beach does not have any bond issues paying for fire services. MINUTES 5 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING Commissioner Mikes was of the opinion that fire department costs are out of control because of the inability to get municipal and county fire departments to work together and due to the political power that fire departments have in communities. He mentioned that the State has also increased pension benefits for firefighters which imposes a financial hardship on cities even though the State supplements some of the costs. City Manager Smith explained that the City has been able to save costs by entering mutual aid agreements with surrounding cities and that Broward County is currently asking municipalities to submit proposals for providing fire services in county areas because they are no longer going to provide the service. The City does not use Broward County dispatch services, nor does half of the cities in Broward County, because the system is overloaded and the City did not feel that this was the best alternative for providing emergency care. Gwen Duke, representing Coconut Rentals, located in Port Everglades, opposed the increase in Fire Rescue special assessments on behalf of her employer and presented a bill showing inaccurate information on the square footage of the company's building. City Manager Smith recommended that she contact the Broward County Property Appraisers Office to correct the square footage. Mr. Smith explained to Ms. Duke that stormwater fees are calculated on impervious area and unless a property owner provides for the maintenance of stormwater runoff, the business is charged for Stormwater special assessments. Vince Pyle, Danian Shopping Center, opposed the extreme increase in his special assessments. He mentioned the financial burdens that he has undertaken to expand his business and improve his property and that he did not expect to pay $9,000 in special assessments and $6,800.00 in ad valorem taxes this year. Mr. Pyle urged the City Commission to continue adoption of the resolution imposing the special assessments due to the financial hardship being imposed on small businesses. Dorothy Honan, 4691 Ravenswood Road, opposed the increase in Fire Special Assessments and did not believe that her area has improved in services for sewer, solid waste, fire and roads even though the costs have increased. She also opposed charges for fire inspections and mentioned problems with replacing a garbage container that had been stolen. City Manager Smith urged her to contact the Public Works Department to purchase garbage containers at a cost $48.00. Loyd Mears, 5080 SW 28 Avenue, stated his dissatisfaction with the increased charges and opposed the City's actions to dredge Tigertail Lake. Robert Sheets, Government Systems Group, explained that his firm handles the Special Assessment Programs for the City, and he agreed with the comments presented by City Manager Smith regarding the 4th District Court of Appeals actions to change the City's method of calculating Fire Rescue Assessments. He mentioned that the City received $1.2 million dollars in 1999 and that $1.8 million dollars are projected for 2000 for Fire Rescue Special Assessments. In 1999, the commercial businesses only accounted for $254,000.00 or 19.5% of the 1.2 million dollars collected and that commercial businesses are projected to account for $648,000 of the 1.8 million or 35% in 2000. Hearing no further comments, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing. MINUTES 6 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING • Mayor McElyea expressed his opinion that the amounts being imposed on businesses was too high. Mr. Sheets mentioned that another alternative for the City would be to bring back a change in the method for calculating the assessment amounts next year or not collect the amounts of the projected revenue through the special assessment programs. However, he pointed out that the amounts would have to be collected through ad valorem taxes. In regards to postponing action tonight, Mr. Sheets advised that the City does not have time to change the method because of notification requirements. Mr. Sheets assured the City Commission and the public that there has not been any change in the way the City's assessment program was set up since 1996 and that the only change is the amount of revenue the City is trying to recover from the business class. If the City changed the method for calculating the special assessments on a per-square-foot basis, the City would then be dealing with appeals from discrepancies in square footage opposed to the per-hundred-square foot bracket method currently being used. Mr. Sheets was of the opinion that the current method is a fairer way to calculate the assessments and that there are more businesses who are paying based on the lowest square footage denominator. There is a small percentage of businesses with square footage that just goes over the threshold that are pushed into the next highest bracket. Example, a person with 6,000 square feet would pay assessments via a bracket of 5,000 — 9,999 square feet. The only businesses impacted by a tremendous increase are those with square footage at 10,000 or more who fall in the upper portion of the category. Mr. Barile stated that it was not fair that the majority of the burden of the Fire Rescue Assessments should be imposed on such a small sector of the community. Mr. Sheets stated that the reason the City is out of time is that the ruling from the 4th District Court of Appeals was imposed at the end of June and a re-analysis of the programs began mid- July, and time was needed to mail out assessment notifications and advertisement for this hearing required 20 days prior publication. City Manager Smith reiterated that the allocation of the assessments is based on the demand of the commercial properties on fire services. Paul Porzio, single family home owner, advised that he would not oppose paying a higher share of the assessments to reduce the impact on the small business community as they are also burdened by rental fees for storefronts to remain in business. Vice-Mayor Bertino reminded Mr. Porzio that he is still employed and working and that there are many people who are on fixed incomes that do not have the extra money like he does to pay more for special assessments and that the commercial properties are paying for services they are receiving. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Etling, adopting the resolution approving Fire Rescue special assessments. The motion passed on the following 3/1 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent. Commissioner Etling-yes Commissioner Mikes —yes Vice-Mayor Bertino —yes Mayor McElyea-no • MINUTES 7 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING 8.2 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS AGAINST ASSESSED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE GRIFFIN ROAD ANNEXATION AREA OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2000; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the resolution for Solid Waste Assessments. City Manager Smith explained that the solid waste assessments cover charges to collect for garbage services in the Griffin Road area and that there is no change in the rate. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Clinton Hill opposed the garbage services being provided by BFI. Hearing no further comments, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Etling, adopting the resolution approving the Solid Waste Service Assessments. The motion passed on the following 410 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent. Commissioner Etling-yes Commissioner Mikes —yes • Vice-Mayor Bertino —yes Mayor McElyea-yes 8.3 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING STORMWATER ASSESSMENTS AGAINST DEVELOPED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2000; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Manager Smith explained that this is the 5th year of the stormwater program and that the assessments provide funding to operate and maintain the stormwater program. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Clinton Hill opposed the stormwater assessment program. He recommended that the sections of the City being impacted by flooding should pay a separate special assessment program instead of the entire City being assessed for drainage problems that may not be occurring in their area. Ralph Eddy expressed his dissatisfaction with the maintenance of the collector box located at the end of SE 2"d Street that receives excess run off from Federal Highway. He was of the opinion that drainage is not improved in the southeast area. Hugo Renda expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of drainage improvement in the ® southwest section. MINUTES 8 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING William Wosenitz presented a letter urging the City to request a comprehensive study on stormwater runoff into the canals to determine if the Cut-off Canal can handle the volume of runoff created by ongoing development. He requested that a meeting be held with all of the governmental agencies involved so that the canals can be properly maintained. Louise James, 4829 SW 29 Terrace, presented flooding problems occurring in front of her house in the swale area. Mayor McElyea thought that Mrs. James probably has a French drain installed in the front of her property and that some French drains cannot be cleaned. He agreed that the City needs to address these drainage issues in the future. Hearing no further comments, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Etling, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, adopting the resolution approving the Stormwater Assessments. The motion passed on the following 3/0 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent.

(First reading) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the ordinance for first reading. Attorney Doug Gonzales, Weiss, Serota, et all, advised that he worked with Dr. William R. Adams, Ph.D. of Historic Properties Associates, in preparing the ordinance that will provide procedures for designating buildings within the City as "historic". He clarified that this ordinance does not designate a historic district. As part of a study conducted by Dr. Adams, Attorney Gonzales explained that Dr. Adams prepared a Historic Preservation Plan identifying properties with historic significance. The ordinance does not affect a person's use of their property but it provides a mechanism for a person owning a historic property to come before the City Commission, sitting as the City's Historic Preservation Board, to establish certain criteria for rehabilitation, renovation or demolition of their property. The City is adding an additional step in the process in an effort to preserve and protect properties that have been designated as "historic". Mr. Gonzales clarified that any property designated as a historic landmark is not exempt from paying ad valorem taxes but there may be opportunities available to property owners to receive grant funds to assist in renovations of historic properties. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, the Mayor closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Etling, adopting the ordinance on first reading. The motion passed on the following 4/0 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent.

MINUTES 11 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SITE PLAN • REQUEST SUBMITTED BY JACQUES AND SUZANNE GALLET, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF SW 12T" AVENUE NORTH OF STIRLING ROAD (LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND CARIBE PLAZA), DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Cindy Bertschinger, Leigh Robinson Kerr &Associates, on behalf of Larry Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the applicant has submitted a site plan for a 30,000 square foot industrial building on property zoned I-G. The site plan is proposed for a multi- tenant industrial building and the applicant will be required to make improvements on SW 12tn Avenue and possibly SW 1st Street for access to the site. Staff recommends approval with the five conditions provided in the staff memo and the Planning & Zoning Board agreed with all conditions with a wood fence instead of a masonry wall. Attorney Harry Hipler advised that the code allows a six foot wooden fence and since property adjacent to the site is vacant, he did not think the wall was necessary. He also mentioned that the wall would be more expensive than a wood fence and that double ficus hedges would be added along both sides. Attorney Hipler opposed Mr. Leeds'comment after Condition #5 requiring consideration of architectural detail along SW 12 Avenue and the rear of the building since the statement was never discussed at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting. He stated that the owners agree to widen SW 12 Avenue, complete the utilities, plant more trees and install the sidewalk. In addition, Mr. Gallet agrees to paving the south half of SW 1st Street adjacent to the site as long as the road will be a public street, however, Mr. Gallet would not be agreeable to developing the street if it was going to be used for the developer to the north and closed to the public. City Manager Smith advised that the petitioner is only being required to • complete his half of SW 1 st Street and that the developer to the north would have to complete his side. Fire Chief Land clarified that the completion of 1st street was added to the conditions for public safety purposes. Commissioner Mikes requested that the petitioner include a Sabal Palm instead of the small Buttonwood designated on the landscape island since they do not require much irrigation. Mr.Hipler had no problem with the change in trees. At this time, a motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, extending the meeting to 1:30 a.m. The motion carried. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, the Mayor closed the public hearing.

She explained that the site plan has been revised to comply with requirements with the "Principal Arterial Design Standards" and staff recommends approval • of the site plan subject to approval of the Public Works/Utilities Director and Fire Marshall prior to issuance of a Building Permit. She mentioned that the applicant also needs approval of "spandral glass" to meet the window glass requirements on Sheridan Street and SE 5 Avenue. Commissioner Etling questioned whether FDOT has been contacted to include a left-turn arrow at Sheridan Street and SE 5th Avenue due to the traffic impact from this project. Ms. Bertschinger agreed that Broward County and FDOT could be contacted to see if an adjustment could be made, but that was not an issue that was investigated at the time of review. Seth Gadinsky, Corporate Development Partners, Inc., explained that a deep well would be installed to retain stormwater on site and agreed to maintain the overgrown back portion of the property. A sample of the "spandral glass" was presented and Mr. Gadinsky explained that it would be used at the front areas of the Walgreens store. Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION 2000-38 APPROVING THE REVISED SITE PLAN REQUEST SUBMITTED BY JULES ROSS, PRESIDENT OF DANIA COASTER, INC., FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS GRAND PRIX RACE-O-RAMA, LOCATED AT 1500-1800 NW 1ST STREET, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING THAT ALL RESOLUTIONS OR PARTS OF RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT WITH THIS RESOLUTION ARE REPEALED TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH CONFLICT; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (b) Request by Jules Ross, President of the Dania Coaster, Inc. for temporary signage for the "Dania Beach Hurricane" ride. • Cindy Bertschinger, Leigh Robinson Kerr&Associates, on behalf of Larry Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the roller coaster was first approved with a 300 foot setback between the coaster and 1-95 and in March was approved for a setback of 40 feet between the coaster and 1-95. The applicant is now requesting an amendment to the Roller Coaster Site Plan for deferral of landscaping installation for up to 60 days after the opening of the roller coaster and waiver of the landscaping on the north and west portions of the roller coaster (area on plan surrounded by a "bubble"). Ms. Bertschinger stated that Mr. Leeds has included several conditions to the approval in his staff memo. William Johnson, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, explained that there is also a second request for a 450 square foot sign to be attached to the roller coaster for 90 and 120 days. Mr. Johnson advised that Mr. Leeds recommended in his memo to reduce the sign to 250 square feet and that just this evening Mr. Leeds phoned and advised that he was not supporting the temporary sign at all because of an electronic message board that provides sufficient advertisement for the roller coaster. Jules Ross, President of Dania Coaster Inc., advised that the extension on the landscaping for 60 days-is being requested because most of the items are not readily available and the area where.the landscaping is expected to be installed has construction materials in the way. He expected to begin the landscaping in the next 7 to 10 days and the entire landscaping to be finished 60 days after the opening of the roller coaster. Mr. Ross requested a waiver of the landscaping on the northern side because a water park will be constructed in the area and any landscaping that would be installed would have to be removed when the water park is constructed. He thought it would be better to wait until the area is developed to make • landscaping improvements.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION 11.1 Request by Michael Bishop for abatement of CEB99-0363 for property located at 723 SW 51h Street, Dania Beach. (Staff) William Johnson, Chief Code Enforcement Officer, explained that the subject property was cited for minimum standards and public nuisance violations, that the property owners were given 30 days to comply. The property did not come into compliance until July 17, 2000, which resulted in a fine of$17,000 (169 days at $100.00 per day and $100.00 recording fees) being imposed against the property. Mr. Johnson advised that the Code Enforcement Board recommended abatement to $3,500.00 after hearing testimony on August 7, 2000. A motion was made by Commissioner Etling to follow the recommendation by the Code Enforcement Board and abate the lien to $3,500.00. The motion failed for lack of a second. Michael Bishop explained that he resides in North Miami Beach and that he purchased the property in March 1999 and that the previous property owner and tenants were not in compliance with the City's code requirements. He advised that the first notice was sent to him in September 1999, at which time he was institutionalized for a short period of time. He explained that his stepfather was taking care of the property and communicated with Code Officer Dubinsky in an effort to clean up the property. Mr. Bishop mentioned that his stepfather ® was of the opinion that once the fence was removed and the property was cleaned up that the MINUTES 16 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING property was in compliance with the code. Mr. Bishop explained that he was not aware of the ® lien until he tried to sell the property and that he did not receive any notices. Mr. Bishop advised that his intentions are to give the property to Ms. Higgs who lives around the corner from the property in an effort to avoid foreclosure. Mr. Bishop advised that he cannot sell the property without the abatement, that there is an $85,500.00 mortgage on the property and that he purchased the property for $95,000.00. Mayor McElyea expressed his dissatisfaction with the owner's lack of attention to the problem and length of time it took to clean up the property. Mr. Johnson confirmed that the property is in compliance at this time and it was his opinion that the violations on the property were not so bad that the property could not have been brought into compliance a long time ago. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Mikes, leaving the lien standing in place at $17,000.00. The motion passed on the following 3/1 roll call vote with Commissioner Cali absent.

(Commissioner Mikes) ® Commissioner Mikes suggested that speed bumps be installed in the NW 10th Street area where two vehicles recently ended up in swimming pools. He recommended that staff obtain a professional evaluation on whether one or two speed bumps could be used for the area and that a survey be sent out to residents in the Melaleuca Gardens area to receive input on the interest in installing speed bumps. 11.3 Discussion of"Prostitution-Free Zones" in accordance with recent actions by Miami Beach. (Commissioner Mikes) Commissioner Mikes passed out an article from the Miami Herald regarding Miami Beach's efforts to implement a Prostitution Mapping Initiative designed to reduce repeat prostitution offences by denying known prostitutes access to areas where they have been previously arrested for the crime. Lt. David Rahinsky, BSO, advised that contacts have been made with the State's Attorney's Office, Hallandale and Hollywood on holding a meeting regarding the implementation of model legislation to reduce prostitution and that the vehicle impoundment ordinance would also be used in this initiative. City Manager Smith advised that there were efforts by BSO a few years ago to start the Prostitution Mapping Initiative and that law enforcement is only one component. The State's Attorney's Office must take action to prosecute and the judges must enter orders making it an offense for a convicted prostitute to return to the same area. Mr. Smith advised that the Broward County courts have not taken any action to assist law enforcement in this regard. MINUTES 17 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Mikes, directing City Manager Smith to send a letter from the City Commission supporting a Prostitution Mapping Initiative to be implemented for the Dania Beach area and that the letter be sent to the State's Attorney's Office and Broward County Judge Ross.

He presented a color drawing of the sign with five colors and advised that all other requirements have been met for the Sign Adjustment and that they also have plans to upgrade the entire parking lot. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, approving the color changes to the sign for Jaxson's Plaza as submitted.

Cindy Bertschinger, Leigh Robinson Kerr&Associates, on behalf of Larry Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that the waiver request relates to a site plan for a proposed warehouse at the southeast corner of Bryan Road and NW 1st Street. The site is also adjacent to Dania Beach Boulevard, which is identified as an 80-foot wide collector road from Federal Highway to Bryan Road. The applicant is requesting a waiver of a 40 foot right-of-way requirement designated on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. Ms. Bertschinger advised that if the waiver is not granted, the applicant would be required to dedicate the 40 feet. If the waiver is granted, the City would have to buy the property from the landowner if the City chose to expand the road in the future. Ms. Bertschinger advised that the Broward County Planning Council would take action on the waiver but are requesting input from the City before making a final decision. Mayor McElyea opposed the idea of waiving the road right-of-way for fear that the City would have to buy the land back at a much higher cost because there may be plans in the future to ® complete Dania Beach Boulevard. MINUTES 18 AUGUST 22, 2000 REGULAR MEETING Attorney Steven V. Hoffman, representing Mike Lally, explained that the area is served by three ® bridges located on Old Griffin Road, Tigertail Boulevard, and Stirling Road and that his client is being asked to dedicate 52', which is more than % acre of his property for a bridge that theoretically will not be built. The Trafficways Plan shows Dania Beach Boulevard stopping at Bryan Road and the City would most likely not be able to receive additional right-of-way to complete any portion of Dania Beach Boulevard west of Bryan Road. Attorney Hoffman also pointed out that the Tigertail bridge is only 600 feet from Dania Beach Boulevard and that it would cost 1.5 or 2 million dollars to build another bridge, which would also promote industrial and commercial traffic in the residential community. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, denying the request for waiver of(Unimproved) Dania Beach Boulevard Trafficway requirement for a parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Bryan Road and NW 1st Street (parcel located west of the C-10 canal).
