ITEM PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
(continued from 10/10/2000 Regular Meeting)
7.2 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A RIGHT-OF-WAY
USE AND MASTER SITE LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH AND
METRICOM, INC. FOR THE USE OF THE CITY'S RIGHTS-OF-WAY TO CONSTRUCT,
OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A WIRELESS DIGITAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
WITHIN THE CITY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Linda Whitman, Metricom, Inc., explained that Metricom would be providing wireless Internet
service and she displayed the shoe-box size equipment that would be attached to an antenna on
a light pole. All existing poles would be utilized and no additional poles would be needed to
provide the service. Ms. Whitman explained that she had met with Commissioner Etling to
discuss the franchise fee to the City and that Metricom has agreed to increase the fee from 1%
to 3% on subscribers within the City limits. Subscription use was expected to be 1% of the
population in the first year with a gradual increase over time and the service would require 45 to
49 radio installations. Installations would include residential areas.
A motion was made by Commissioner Etling, seconded by Commissioner Mikes, adopting the
resolution. The motion was replaced with a substitute motion.
Vice-Mayor Bertino was concerned with this type of installations in residential areas and
disagreed that 3% was a fair increase. He clarified that homeowners could use fiber optic LAN
lines to access a work server to a Lap-Top and couldn't understand the real need for the service.
Ms. Whitman explained that the service would be wireless and would provide full LAN access for
lap-top users from any location and that the service would also reduce the need for a
homeowner to pay for an additional phone line.
City Manager Smith recommended approval as he felt that the service would be beneficial to
City field employees in the future who could use lap-tops to connect to the GIS (Geographical
Information System) for property information. In addition, he pointed out that the equipment is
not invasive as it would not crowd City ground right-of-ways.
Ms. Whitman assured the City Commission that the radios could be relocated if future problems
• arose and she mentioned that the City would not be limited in allowing other internet service
users because this is not an exclusive franchise. Revenue to the City would come from

further.

MINUTES
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 8 OCTOBER 24, 2000
® LINE ADJACENT TO SE 3RD AVENUE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing.
Joe Maniglia, Meadowbrook Condominium, opposed the cutting down of the Australian Pine
trees since the Meadowbrook project was approved 20 years ago with the inclusion of the trees
on the Site Plan. He advised that the estimated cost is $21,000.00 to cut down the trees and that
page 46 (d) "Betterments" of the Meadowbrook Declaration of Condominium restricts the Board
of Directors from expending amounts in excess of$10,000 without approval of the members of
the Association. It was his opinion that most of the unit owners did not want the trees cut down.
Rhonda Bachmann and Andre Dessureault, 306 SE 3 Street, opposed actions to cut down the
trees due to the aesthetic beauty and benefits provided from the trees and requested an
explanation on the types of plants that would replace the trees if the amendment was passed
tonight.
Tom Mc Farland, 301 SE 3 Street, Apt. 607, urged the City Commission to remove the trees
based on the continuous problems created from pine needles clogging up the sewer drains in
the Southeast area, making the flooding situation worse when severe storms occur. He also
pointed out that the State of Florida has taken action to cut down a large amount of Melaleuca
and Australian Pine trees along the interstate highways and reminded the City Commission that
they required Publix to cut down Australian Pine trees as part of the development for the store
being located at SE 5th Avenue and Dania Beach Boulevard.
Jutta Kellett, 311 SE 3 Street, #302, opposed the removal of the trees and expressed concern
on how the petition was presented by the Condominium Association since only $18,000 has
been budgeted in the Association's Budget for replacement of the trees.
Hugo Renda urged the removal of the trees based on the continuous drainage problems in the
area.
Joe Maniglia was of the opinion that flooding has been corrected in the area and mentioned that
regular removal of the pine needles is being handled by the association.
Bernice Dearing, on behalf of the Meadowbrook Association, advised that the Board of Directors
of the Condominium Association voted to remove the trees. She understood that there are some
unit owners who do not want the trees removed, however, the trees continue to cause problems
and impose a liability on the Association.
Rhonda Bachmann again requested an explanation on what would replace the trees.
Commissioner Etling advised that Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo, Tamarinds and Trumpet and Floss
Silk trees will be used to replace the Australian Pines and Melaleuca trees.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor McElyea closed the public hearing.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that the removal of the trees started
last year when the Public Works Department noticed an ongoing problem caused by pine
needles from the Australian Pine trees accumulating in the drainage areas in the parking lot at
Meadowbrook Condominium which caused blockage and an inability of water to drain. The
Australian Pines are known as "exotics" and are not a permitted tree in the City of Dania Beach
MINUTES
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 9 OCTOBER 24, 2000
and if the trees are not removed the drainage problems will continue. He advised that it will take
some time for the new trees to fully grow in and that there does not appear to be another
alternative available to resolve the drainage problems for the area. Mr. Leeds advised that the
Florida Department of Transportation has a policy of cutting down Australian Pine trees that exist
in their right-of-ways, however, this policy does not exist in the City.
Commissioner Mikes expressed his displeasure with destroying the tree, but pointed out that the
replacement trees will be better in the future since the Australian Pines are expected to die out in
the near future.
Commissioner Etling clarified with Mr. Leeds that a tree removal permit is not required and that
the City has no legal right to stop the Meadowbrook Condominium Association from removing
the trees because Australian Pines and Melaleuca trees are obnoxious and nuisance trees.
Vice-Mayor Bertino requested that Growth Management Director Leeds research the possibility
of obtaining State funds for the condominium to help remove the trees.
Discussion followed on the number of programs available for the City to develop a Tree Program
in the future. City Manager Smith reported that the City did not receive a grant for a tree program
last year and that the Broward League of Cities is starting a "Replant Broward" program due to
the Citrus Canker elimination.
Mr. Leeds clarified that the City is not imposing any time restriction on the Association to remove
the trees and he recommended the two conditions listed in his staff memo be included with the
approval Mr. Leeds advised that the Site Plan that has been presented does not include the
parking lot lights that were discussed earlier and that the Association can obtain a permit for the
lights in accordance with the Code.
A motion was made by Commissioner Etling, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, adopting the
resolution amending the Site Plan for Meadowbrook Lakes View Condominium Association "A"
to allow substitution of the landscaping along the south property line adjacent to SE 3 Street and
west property line adjacent to SE 3 Avenue with the following conditions: 1) Hedge height to be
maintained at three (3) feet; 2) Minimum hedge spread to be 24 inches (two-foot off-center, 24"
high); 3) The association must come back to the City Commission for approval of the installation
of parking lot lights.

CITY OF DANIA BEACH 10 OCTOBER 24, 2000
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained the conditions provided with the
approval of the Special Exception and Site Plan for Material Handling/American Cranes, Inc.
June 8, 1999, and presented a modified Landscape Plan.
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, Mayor
McElyea closed the public hearing.
Ron Fontes, Material Handling/American Cranes, Inc., discussed the plans for a 32-foot high
metal prefabricated building and presented his proposal that the climbing vine would climb up
the east face of the proposed metal building. He also added that the entire property would be
landscaped.
Commissioner Mikes agreed that the site is difficult to work with and that the City should
increase landscaping on the other side of the railroad tracks. He was doubtful that the climbing
vine would reach 30 feet and was concerned that the landscaping, as presented, was marginal
and that more durable plantings should be utilized.
A motion was made by Commissioner Etling, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bertino, adopting a
resolution approving the modified Landscape Plan for Material Handling/American Cranes, Inc.
with the understanding that the applicant would select a "subtle" blue trim for the building.

City Commission to increase the existing millage over the previous year.
10.4 Vice-Mayor Bertino requested that staff look into reducing the noise impact on the area
near Resurrection Church that is coming from the airport.
Vice-Mayor Bertino mentioned the bond issue on park lands with Broward County and the need
for the City to provide input. Commissioner Etling advised that Broward County is not stating
what types of lands that they are looking for because of potential increase in cost, that they are
interested in talking to cities that have undeveloped lands which could be purchased and they
are offering $20 million dollars in challenge grants for the cities to purchase conservation/open

Bill Winkelholtz, Commissioner on the Dania Housing Authority, requested speed humps at the
Addie Mae Chunn Park on NW 71"Avenue in an effort to reduce speeding and provide a safer
area for children coming to and going from the park. He expressed his dissatisfaction that City
Manager Smith was against installing speed humps for the safety of the children at the park and
that the Housing Authority was in the process of installing a fence around the park. The cost
quoted by the City was $1,400-$1,800 for installation of a speed hump and Mr. Winkelholtz
advised that a private contractor quoted him $250-$450 depending upon what is requested with
the installation.
Commissioner Mikes mentioned the criminal activity that also goes on in the area along with the
traffic concerns and suggested using funds from police confiscations for installing speed humps
for the location. He also urged the City Commission to use a certified traffic expert to make the
determination, for liability purposes, on placement of the speed hump.

11.5 Discussion of annexation of Riverland Road area. (City Manager)
City Manager Smith mentioned that voters from the currently proposed annexation areas will
decide on November 7th whether they want to be annexed into the City of Dania Beach or
Hollywood.
He advised that residents from the Riverland area have expressed an interest in being annexed
into Dania Beach and that the filing period is approaching for bills to be submitted for the 2001
legislative session. Mr. Smith presented a map of the Riverland area lying on the north side of
the New River between Davie Boulevard and the New River. Mr. Smith advised that the area
would be an economic asset to the City, however, there may be some concern on providing fire
rescue services since the area is detached somewhat from the main part of the City. Access to
the area would be via 441 or 1-95 to Davie Boulevard and the City would most likely have to work
out an Interlocal Agreement with another jurisdiction to provide the service. Fort Lauderdale
would be one of the contenders and they have a lower tax rate at this time. Because there is
cost associated with pursuing the annexation, Mr. Smith requested input from the City
Commission on whether they want him to move forward.
Mayor McElyea disagreed with pursuing more annexation and urged the City Commission to
realize that there is a need for the City to do a good job of providing services to existing portions
of Dania Beach so as not to spread services too thin.
Commissioner Etling mentioned that the area has registered interest on what City would be
annexing them and that some of area includes waterfront properties. He also mentioned that the
lifestyles of most of the property owners is consistent with that of Dania Beach's lifestyle.
Vice-Mayor Bertino suggested that staff obtain more information on how many people, how big
of an area would be annexed, and whether residents are really serious about being annexed into
the City so that feasibility of pursuing annexation can be determined.
The City Commission generally agreed to authorize City Manager Smith to investigate the
feasibility of the area since November is the deadline for filing a bill with the Legislative
Delegation.

11.7 Reconsideration of Zoning Appeal (ZA-007-00) by Ann Hoctor, representing Voicestream
Wireless (Omnipoint) for property located at 111 SE 3`d Avenue (Meadowbrook Condo "B")
denied September 26, 2000. (Mayor McElyea)
Mayor McElyea advised that he added the item on the agenda to allow public comment and
possible action by the City Commission to reconsider, however, he clarified that he is not
necessarily in favor of the reconsideration. Mayor McElyea opened the item for public comment.
Ralph Viviano, Meadowbrook Condominium "B", 131 SE 3 Avenue, advised that it is the general
desire of the Condominium Association's membership to have the Voicestream antenna installed
on the roof and that the installation will provide financial benefit to the condominium.
Cliff Hertz, Voicestream Wireless (Ominipoint), requested support from the City Commission to
• explore alternative methods of approving a rooftop antenna for Meadowbrook Condo "B" through
a Special Exception Use, Text Zone Change or Rezoning. He mentioned that part of the special
circumstances with the property relates to Meadowbrook having a old R-3A zoning classification
that is not listed in the City's Code.
Florence Santuccio, Meadowbrook Phase IV, advised that the membership has agreed to allow
the installation of the antenna and that the financial support will help make improvements and
keep the property well maintained.
Ron Fontes, 720 SW 4th Court, Material Handling, advised that he is actually at the meeting
tonight to address Item 9.10 and that part of his 1999 Site Plan approval required him to
contribute $4,000 to a tree fund. He urged the City Commission to also require Voicestream to
make a contribution to the tree fund for landscaping improvements to the surrounding area.
Mr. Hertz recommended that the landscaping improvements for the site be discussed at the Site
Plan phase.
Commissioner Mikes stressed the need to uphold the Growth Management Director's decision
for Code compliance and suggested a restrictive use change for the rezoning to allow the
antenna in limited circumstances.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that a rezoning would be complicated
because of so many condominiums. He suggested the idea of allowing stealth antennas as a
Special Exception Use subject to conditions in the R-3A zoning district with the inclusion of a
® separation clause between buildings. Mr. Leeds indicated that the Code currently allows stealth
antennas as a Special Exception Use in RM-1 and RM-2 zoning districts. Mr. Leeds suggested
MINUTES
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 15 OCTOBER 24, 2000
• that a building separation of 500, 1,000, or 1,500 feet and to include a minimum building-height
restriction. Mr. Leeds advised that a Text Change would runaround $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. Mr.
Hertz was not sure that his client would want to pursue a text change since it would take 3 to 4
months.
Vice-Mayor Bertino pointed out that many more antenna requests are going to be coming before
the City Commission and he did not want to see a proliferation of this type of use in residential
communities.
Chickee Brandemarte, Meadowbrook Condominium, opposed the antenna use and clarified that
the request with Condo "B" is actually for three antennas. "
Charles Winkler disagreed with allowing the antennas and stated that the issue is more about
bringing money into the condominium.
Commissioner Mikes advised that the legislature imposed the Telecommunications Act on
municipalities and that the City's Code is more restrictive than most cities because every tower
must be approved by a Special Exception Use procedure. He recommended a Text Change
with a separation distance as a method to protect residential communities.
Hearing no one further comments, Mayor McElyea closed the public comment.
A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Etling, instructing staff
to begin developing a text change allowing Stealth Antennas citywide that would incorporate
restrictions for a separation distance of 1,000-1,500 feet between antennas, limiting antennas to
• one per building, and the inclusion of a building minimum-height restriction with the
understanding that a workshop meeting would be held to confirm the criteria and subject to
Voicestream paying all costs associated with the text change.

11.9 Discussion of Large User Sewer Agreement. (City Manager)
Commissioner Mikes passed out a recent article relating to the possible upgrade of the
Hollywood Sewer Plant and Pembroke Pines' interest in building its own treatment facility that
would possibly reduce some of the usage at the Hollywood Plant: Commissioner Mikes
mentioned that the article states that Pembroke Pines currently pays Hollywood $1.26 per 1,000
gallons of sewerage and that the upgrade would increase the cost to $2.00 per 1,000 gallons of
sewerage. He mentioned that the Hollywood officials cannot go forward with a bond issue
without agreement from all parties and suggested that the City get involved due to a possible
increase in fees.
Bud Palm, Utilities/Public Works Director, explained that years ago when the contract with
Hollywood was created, Pembroke Pines had asked for 10 million gallons in reserve and now
they are saying that the expansion of the plant is not necessary since they really only need 8
million gallons in reserve. Mr. Palm mentioned that the proposed bond issue in 1990 for plant
expansion was delayed because of the I&I Study, which caused the amount of flow to the plant
to be reduced. Discussion followed on the need to rehabilitate some of the existing structures at
the plant and the need to increase capacity in order to expand economic development in the
M City.
Bud Palm agreed to obtain minutes on any of the negotiations that have taken place on the
Sewer Plant with Hollywood and Pembroke Pines and City Manager Smith agreed to monitor the
proposal.
