Mu John Bertino of 218 S.E. 3rd Terrace spoke to the question reducing the density to a lower level than 17 units per acre. The general impression was that 10 to 12 units oer acre should be the limit permitted. Mr. Bertino read from a stat- istical report, information on the impact that this development would have on schools, playgrounds, police needs, fire needs, and general services. Mr. Dave Howard of 334 S.E. 3rd Street stated that he appreciated the cooperation of the City in delaying this action to give him an opportunity to look into the various possible means of acquiring the property for the City. Mr. Howard also stated that it seemed that development would occur and requested the Commission, as well as the developer, to lower the density. Mr. Jack Milbery, attorney for the opponents, appealed to the Commission to project into the future the character that he thought that Dania had of restricted land use and the compact, small town advantages. Mr. Milbery did point out the needs for additional services that new development would require. He emphasized the additional needs for water, sewers , and traffic arterials. There was much discussion between individual commissioners and Mr. Milbery. Miss Kay Bracken as a citizen endorsed the proposed development and was follo.,ed by others that thought the development would be good, but that it should be restricted to condominium owners. The Commissioners discussed more indepth setbacks, these to be sho%,n on a final site plan before final approval. A petition was turned over to the City Clerk against the rezoning. Seadade employed the services of David Plummer, a traffic engineering consultant who argued the traffic impact would be no higher than that of a townhouse development with a lower density. Also Attorney for Seadade, A.J. Ryan stated that this was the best possible planned development that could be built on the Golf Course. On a motion by Commissioner Kay, seconded by Commissioner Adler, the ordinance to rezone the Dania Country Club to R-3A passed rnifirst reading with four ayes. Commissioner Duncanson voted No, stating that he would like to see a lesser density. Commissioner Jackson stated that he had made every effort to get the density reduced further, but it appeared that 17 was the lowest that the City would be able to require. Mayor Kay emphasized that the Commission and himself had spent much time attempting to reduce the use, and that 17 units an acre was beautiful compared to what might have been built under the old ordinances, and also as compared to density permitted in other adjacent cities. Commissioner Adler emphasized that he had been a resident of Dania many years and expected to spend the rest of his life in this City and that the project would benefit the City and since this had been his home since childhood, he would vote to approve the 17 units per acre. r 9. The City Manager briefed the Commission on the Steve Casper parking problem at Canterbury Square and recommended that the administrative decision not to give a certificate of occupancy to Mr. Casper for two stores, since he has not provided adequate parking spaces for them, be upheld by the Commission. On a motion by Commissioner Ray, seconded by Commissioner Jackson, the recommendation was approved unanimously. 10.
