W .17th Avenue, Miami,Florida, stating they were vdry much opposed 0 to the increase in size of the Weiner Trailer Park.

Weiner should put up a bond assuring the city that sidewalks would be put in, if sidewalks are not put in at the time Dania Beach Blvd. is widened and also that sidewalks will be put in on Gulfstream Road.

MINUTES OF CITY COMMISSION MEETING, DANIA FLORIDA NELD ON J LY 15P 19 -3- Public Hearing - Louis Marrone d/b/a Royale Palm Yacht Basin �oTing , t e time a vertise or a pu is hearing on the application of Louis Marrone, d/b/a Royale Palm Yacht Basin that a variance permit be granted to permit him to expand the operation and ser- vice at the existing marina to include the operation of a boat lift and temporary dry storage facilities for boats north of the shop, office and showroom building while repairs are being made to the boats, City Attorney Walden advised the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended against granting a variance permit. Mayor Kelly asked for objections from the audience at this time. Mrs . John Kennedy, 609 N.E. 2nd Street, Dania, appeared before the Commission and was recognized by the Mayor: She said the requests for variances in connection with Mr. Marrone's marina kept coming up every few months and there seemed to be no end to it. She said in earlier dis- cussions Mr. Marrone said he would abide by all the provisions set down at these prior timesand she wanted to make sure Mr. Marrone was abiding by the law. Mayor Kelly informed her the Commission had the right to grant variances and was not actually bound by previous Commissions . Mr. Louis Wilkins, 685 Gulfstream Road, Dania, appeared before the Commission and was recognized by the Mayor. He stated he lived in the area; that there were several houseboats at the marina and they were not using a sewage system. He said the people in Dania have to hook up to sewers; that there was a problem of garbage disposal in connection with the occupants of the houseboats. He said the Dania Canal was becoming polluted and wished to know if the Commission had any check on this situa- tion, and if the Commission intended to continue to grant variance after variance to Mr. Marrone. He said there was a health hazard here, including dogs and children playing in an unsupervised area. He said he was concerned about the whole situation. He claimed the roads in the area had deteriorated and were filled with potholes, which accumulated water. He said he did not want to see the area turned into a slum, Commissioner Houston said Mr. Wilkins' point was well taken. Mayor Kelly said he thought, perhaps, there was a need to look into a city Ordinance concerning houseboats, and that the Coast Guard probably had regulations concerning waste disposal units. Mr. Dubow came before the Commission on behalf of his client, Mr. Marrone, and stated the application was only asking for the repairing of boats inside the shop where they do not fit in the shop and that up to three (3) boats be repaired behind the shop itself. Commissioner Thornton stated it had been requested by the Commission, that Messrs . Dubow and Marrone have an overall plat, including the original plat, to show exactly what the marina would consist of when it was completed. Commissioner Houston said he had made that request himself and had requested the plans be brought up to date. Commissioner Thornton said they wanted to review the original intention of Mr. Marrone, plus his future expansion. Mr. Dubow said there was no future expansion, that it is as it is now. He said he had the original plat of the entire area , which covers also the subdivision to the west, the only difference being that one canal was not put in, and Mr. Marrone was putting a new one in that subdivision, but that the marina, as it stands, has been built all the way except there was no covered area. Commissioner Thornton asked, if the buildings were as according to the original plat. Mr. Dubow said they were in the same location, but that he had not seen the plans and could not swear they were the exact dimensions. There was further discussion, and Mr. Dubow said he thought there was some provision to put a small building on the canal; but that was not in the original plan and would not be shown on the plat before them now; he said he did not have a plat showing everything as of this date. Commissioner Thornton said it had previously been agreed that Messrs. Dubow and Marrone would have an up to date plat showing everything that would be there and what they intended to put there so the Commission could decide upon it. 7/15/68 -3- r� MINUTES OF CITY COMMISSION MEETING DANIA FLORIDA txs IJELD ON JU -4- I Public Hearing - Louis Marrone, d/b/a Royale Palm Yacht Basin (Cont'd) sz City Attorney Walden said e had recommended to Messrs. Dubow and q Marrone they ascertain just what the past and present variances mean and what the propose when the request a variance and to submit that ? ? Y P P Y q > >=, to the Commission in advance of the Commission meeting on August 19, 1968, along with the plot plans and give everybody interested a copy so that they know what everything was all about. i Commissioner Houston asked Mr. Marrone if he had additional land and what he proposed to do with that land. Mr. Marrone said he had additional land, but had done nothing yet. However, he said, that on the -rF other side he planned putting in a boat motel, a restaurant and bar, but !SM those plans had nothing to do with the particular matter at hand. �M Commissioner. Thornton questioned the City Attorney as to whether ' Mr. Marrone had a variance permit for a boat lift, and Mr. Walden said ' 1 there was no variance. Commissioner Thornton questioned why the lift ;= ..r was put in without a variance. Mr. Dubow said he did not believe Mr. Marrone understood what he could or could not do; that he did not know the answer. Commissioner Thornton said, that in all fairness, someone N' had violated the code, and questioned whether the Commission was automatic- ally going to give that person a variance, regardless of where it was, and that the same person could go ahead without any permission and do something and then come in and ask for a variance, plus a variance for additional work. He said, he thought a variance for the boat lift should have been obtained before Mr . Marrone put the boat lift in place. He said these matters should be ironed out beforehand, not after the fact. Mr. Dubow said they were now trying to get this matter straightened out. Commissioner Thornton said he thought the acreage Mr. Marrone had just mentioned he intended to develop should be put on the plat, also, so the Commission would know what would , ultimately be there, not what was going to be put there next week, with or without a variance, but what was going to be the complete product. Mr. Marrone said this was a big piece of property, and what he was talking about had nothing to do with the marina and was something separate. Commissioner Thornton said it had a lot to do with the matter. Mr. Marrone, when questioned as to why he put the boat lift in, said he understood he was able to do minor repairs and he was given this impression from Mr. Zenobia, a former City Commissioner. After much further discussion, Commissioner Houston moved that the request of Mr. Louis Marrone for a variance permit to expand his operations at the Royale Palm Yacht Basin be tabled until August 19, 1968. Commission Thornton seconded the motion. The Commissioners voted as follows: Houston Yes Marant Yes Thornton Yes Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed. (Note: The Commission requested Mr. Marrone to show the complete plat and plot plan, including the original plat, what the variance will cover, how big the boats to be repaired will be, and agree that boats will not be seen from the front street, etc. , and to show the Commission exactly what th marina will consist of when complete; what will be done in connection ith tnr. :sanitation problem in relation to people living on houseboats; to .,ubmit a written agreement, or in some manner state his intentions concern- ing the overall development of his land and, subsequently, the City Clerk s to see that property owners of record in the adjacent areas or neighbor- nood arc sent photo copies of his agreement and/or statement prior to the ;august 19, 1968, meeting when the Commission will take action on his request it a variance. /The land Mr. Marrone owns east of the marina is not now included in the above request]) . j15/C . -4- MINUTES OF CITY COMMISSION MEETING DANIA FLORIDA go HELD ON JULY1 -5- Boat Repair commissioner Houston noted that he believed there was a city Ordinance concerning parking a boat outside of a home owner's property and making boat repairs; that some of these boats did not belong to the home owner, and requested the Police Chief to look into this matter and see if there were people committing any violation. Mayor Kelly said there had been some com- plaints about this type of thing on N. E. 2nd Avenue; that there was a road between the home and the canal. Commissioner Houston said he believed this .street was vacated years ago. Mayor Kelly asked to whom the seawall belonged, and Commissioner Houston said a portion of the seawall belonged to the property owner, Mr. Bill Richardson. Sewer Assessment - Pirates World City Attorney a en saic ie had this dated received a check from Mr. C. T. Robertson's corporation (Pirates' World) slightly in excess of $6,000.00, which was in payment of the special sewer assessment lien and that he thought Mr. Robertson still owed about $4,000.00 plus interest to the city. Zoning - Pirates' World - R-Apartment Zoning Classification City Attorney Wal3en said when the city first obtained the Pirates' World project, the Commission adopted a special zoning classification which was tailor-made for this particular piece of property. He said he believed, that under the particular interpretation of that Ordinance, Mr. C. T. Robertson, or his corporation, might not be required to go through various procedures to get plans approved for any proposed construction. Permits - Pirates' World - Sound Stage ann d Facilities —Tity Attorney Walden su mute or cosi eration the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board, as of their meeting of July 9, 1968, in which they approved Mr. C. T. Robertson's application for a permit and plans to construct a sound stage and related facilities for The Recreation Corporation at Pirates' World with the stipulation that the recommendations of the Fire Marshal be observed. Commissioner Waiters moved that the plans for the construction of a sound stage and related facilities at Pirates' World for The Recreation Corporation be approved. Commissioner Marant seconded the motion. The Commissioners voted as follows: Houston Yes Marant Yes Thornton Yes Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed.

City Manager's Report tate a epartmen - Utilities - Rights-of-Way- Resolution Adoptive and Effective ® State Road Department concerning the aAIAnproject thata ahas been worked elet 7r ds on for many, many years, and submitted a complete set of their plans showing the rights-'of-way and proposed construction together with a Resolution and Utility Agreement to be executed by the city, fie said the Agreement basically requires that the city agrees to move any and all utilities belonging to the ® city that fall within the construction project; primarily this would involve the city's water lines and, possibly, the sewer lanes. He said the project was expected to be out forbid in the early part of 1969 and that this Agree- ment should be approved as soon as possible, and in no case, any later than thirty days before the bid, . and, if not approved, the project will be shelved. He further stated the State Road Department is requesting that the utilities be moved ahead of the State Road construction so that the construction pro- ject itself will not be held up. Mr. Goldberg said that there were rights- of-way throughout the entire section, except for the one block adjacent to Federal Highway and that the one block on the north and south sides is the Atlantic- Richfield gasoline station; the hotel on the north side, and Royal Castle on the south side are the properties affected. He said the City ® Attorney was checking the exact ownership of title; and. that the State Road Department is making some slight modifications in their description so that in conjunction with Mr. Walden he will prepare these deeds, if possible, as soon as the SRD gives him the necessary information. He said, that in some cases, the rights 'of-way were being used for parking that now fronts some of the stores . City Manager Goldberg said they.were talking about i Dania Beach Blvd. from U.S. Highway No. 1 to the Intracoastal Waterway. He said this was a four-lane road with an island in the middle, and the greatest part of it was a 100 foot right-of-way except for the section at Federal Highway. Commissioner Thornton said with regard to the Atlantic-Richfield gas 0 station, that it was in the minutes of 9/14/64 that Atlantic would give the city 26 ' on the north side of their property at the corner of AlA and Federal Highway, provided that the city paid for the moving of the pumps. After further discussion, Commissioner Thornton moved that the Resolution approving the State Road Department's Utility Agreement for AIA be adopted as submitted this date. Commissioner Marant seconded the motion . Mayor Kelly said the city should try and get a rough idea of what this would cost and try to make provision for it in the budget because it would be an expensive proposition; that it could run better than $50,000.00 with the moving of the utilities. Commissioner Houston said he could not vote ® ,or anything in connection with this project until he could find out what the State Road Department was going to do; that there was no hurry for this natter.

F Personnel - School Guard >'>{ City Manager Go erg submitted the request of the Bethune Elementary i School for a school guard to be provided for in the 1968-69 budget, as well _ + as other school guards that may be needed. Mr. Goldberg said Commissioner as Waiters had talked with people at the. City of Hollywood and he advise Hollywood has agreed to cover 40% of the cost of the school guard at Bethune F=- Elementary School, if Dania would cover the balance of the cost in the amount of 60%. Mr. Goldberg said, since this was such a minor cost, he would recommend the Commission approve it that Hollywood be notified in i ` writing that Dania will participate with them in providing the guard. Com- missioner Thornton said he intended to call a meeting of the Finance Commit- tee GJiednesday night, July 17, 1968, and to table this matter until the budget is discussed for next year. Commissioner Thornton moved that the matter of pia a school guard at Bethune Elementary School be tabled. Commissioner Houston seconded the motion. The Commissioners voted as follows: • Houston Yes Marant Yes Waiters Yes Thornton Yes Kelly Yes O Motion passed. Appreciation city manager Goldberg submitted for filing a letter received from the Dania Industrial Development Board addressed to the City Manager commending the city for its 4th of July Dania Celebration and especially the fine cooperation given the Board by Mr. Charles Petrozella, Supervisor, Department of Public Works. Streets - Catch Basins - Paving Mayor Kelly sal , this 35 Te, he and some other had inspected the State Road Department's work on Dixie Highway and they felt there was a definite problem in connection with three (3) catch basins and there was a controver- sy as to who was responsible for the work involved; that there was a poor job done in connection with the elevations . He said he would like the Com- mission to authorize the City Manager to obtain prices from Delegal Paving Company (who will be working in the city in a day or two in connection with the paving contract just awarded them) and see if the three basins cannot be located in a reasonable facimile to the rest of the road along with the possibility of paving the swales in relation to these catch basins so the water will drain into the drain. He said the worst catch basis was located in the driveway of Howard's Bar; one across the street in the 7-11 Driveway and one at the corner of Howard's Bar at Dixie Highway and 4th Avenue. Mayor Kelly asked the City Attorney who would be responsible for this, if someone were involved in an accident, and Mr. Walden said the State Road Department, although they were largely immune from suit and that the Dixie Highway was the State Road Department's road. City Manager Goldberg said the road, as constructed by the State Road Department, in that area, is lower than the sidewalk and there is quite a 7/15/68 -8- a� ,,. NA ,,_ .a M:CNUTES OF COMMISSION MEETING DANIA FLORIDA TiCLf�Z5 J 1 -9- Streets - Catch Basins - Paving (Cont'd) drop lrna!i to r. r07; that t e problem is the basic design of the road, plus the Engineers ' design of the drainage, which was put in first to coincide with the State Road Department's plans . The Engineers feel, that the State Road Department, which came along later and put in the paving, should have gradually sloped the road, particularly on the radiuses of where there was existing drainage manholes into the drainage. Instead of that, he said, the State Road Department just kept the road up high all the way around so there is this argument where the feeling is, that when they built the road, they should have, particularly on a radius, taken a gradual lowering of the road around it, and it would have made everything s work out better. However, this was not done, and the point is, he said, the city still has a problem and the State Road Department does not want to do anything about it, and that the problem is to adjust it, Commis- sioner Thornton suggested this matter be brought before the Finance Com- mittee Wednesday night, July 17, 1968, to discuss financing this project. Mayor Kelly said he did not think it would cost the city anything to get ; a price from Delegal Paving Co., and that now would be the most economical time to correct the situation. Commissioner Thornton said the cost of ascertaining the elevations was something to be looked into so that plans could be drawn. Mayor Kelly requested that a cost estimate be submitted by Delegal Paving Co. through the City Manager. Recreation - Swimming Pool Commissioner grant said this date he had had a meeting with Mr. Dicker- son, Supervisor of Recreation and some of the ladies of Dania who are inter- ested in having a public swimming pool, and they reported to him on their trip to Hallandale to inspect that city's pool and also to learn of mainte- nance costs. H-. said, at the meetitg was also present a Mr. Ted Yeagle who represents the Marietta Pool Co. , Inc. . He said they discussed using the area of Frost Park for the Dania proposed swimming pool and Commissioner Marant said, that as a committee of one, he would ask .the Dania City Com- mission to authorize a core sampling to be made at Frost Park to determine if piling would be needed, and also to ask Mr. Yeagle if it would be poss- ible for him to submit a preliminary sketch to show whether the pool could r- be incorporated with the existing building located near the middle of the park on the east side . Commissioner Marant said Mr. Yeagle had advised him the core sampling would cost approximately $90.00, and a proposal for a brochure the ladies could use in their campaign to get the pool located, and solicitations, if needed, would cost an additional amount of money in the approximate total amount of $250.00. He further requested that author- ization be given to Mr. Dickerson to call Mr. Yeagle to come here and draw the preliminary sketch and to take the core sampling and to contact the women to discuss a matching fund in conjunction with next year's budget. Mayor Kelly said, perhaps it would be feasible to get a core sampling first and then have a preliminary sketch made. Commissioner Marant said Mr. Yeagle came up with a cost figure for the piling and drainage problem at the Frost Park site for a 30' x 60' pool of about $2,500.00. After further discussion, Commissioner Marant moved that the Super- visor of the Recreation Department, Mr. Dickerson, be authorized to spend not in excess of $275 .00 for a core sampling for a swimming pool at Frost Park, and a preliminary survey or sketch of the area to be done by Mr. Ted Yeagle of the Marietta Pool Co., Inc. . The motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Waiters . Mayor Kelly said Mr. Yeagle would try to work out something to tie the pool area in with the existing building's baths and dressing rooms at Frost Park. There being no further discussion, the Commissioners voted as follows : Houston No Marant Yes Thornton Pass Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed . £ 7/15/68 -9- ply h;INUTES OF C014MISSION MEETING DANIA FLORIDA HELD ON JULY 15, 1 -10- Personnel - Civil Service -- Commissioner alters advised the City Commission he was in receipt of a letter from Mr. Robert Mase, addressed to City Manager Goldberg, applying for the position as a parttime Personnel Director for the City of Dania. Mr . Mase stated in his letter he had discussed this application with his supervisor at Hollywood City Hall, Hollywood, Florida, then the letter went on to cite his qualifications for the position referred to above. After reading the application, Commissioner Waiters made a motion that Mr. Robert E . Mase be hired by the City of Dania as the temporary Personnel Director, and also consider hiring with him, Mr. Joseph Miller, in the capacity of Clerk or Assistant to Mr. Mase. Commissioner Marnat said he would like to second Commissioner Waiters' motion at this time, but i:iiat h� did not think Mr. Miller would be needed at this time. Com- missioner Marant said it was the thinking of himself and Commissioner Waiters that Mr. Mase would work in the evenings and on the weekends not in excess of ten (10) hours a week at $5.00 an hour. After much further discussion concerning the pros and cons of hiring Mr. Mase and the merits of the currert civil service program, on recommenda- tion of the City Attorney that a motion to table the matter would take s precedence over the motion on the floor, Commissioner Houston moved that `^ action on hiring Mr. Mase be tabled until the special meeting of July 22, 1968. Commissioner Houston seconded the motion, and the Commissioners voted as follows : Houston Yes Marant No Thornton Yes Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed. City Engineer - Purchase Orders - Resolution Adopted and Effective Commissioner Thornton reporte t at t e i s o roome an arina, City Engineers, as submitted previously, were approved at the recent Finance Committee meeting.
