even if the City would go along with the .; ig .nal a(5xat:per.:, his

authority to do this. He said Dis client,; t;ere am!.%: , to get
started, therefore would like to get the matter sett'- -. as qulckl;•
as possible.
Commissioner HousSi-n said hehad met with these people 3 ,. : ' week
e: : at that ti:ue he told Mr. Kerr rind his clients they here no
! *,yang to be unfair about anything; th;?.t it was a ratter of custom
to require a subdivi.cler to do certain thtangs, such as the water,

the City wanted the operation. to help the City and F:??. ` , ^. ' r

clients that when the road is put tnroi�gh that thb; bz

Commissioner Houston said these people had questioned t:. li.tr
Ordinance which said that any time you have a building c.. -.: :ea,-
you must plot the land, therefore, his recorriendation was that.
they follow through with the customs we havo anri If they dome;
want to dedicate this he wanted the City Atto:rasy to "•.-1� .., r

1333 feet which includes 531 feet on the west ".ne of Yawell
which was kept open so Hclntyre could gat inc pr^pest;
COmmisr<ioner Houston said he thought they should gi . e this
dedication to the City but all they wanted •to [ . "- is a 10 foot
easement. Attorney .Kerr said they had agreed i;.) t.:a easements+
Commissioner Houston said he thought the street was necessary and
it would not be a hardship to this operation to give them the
necessary 50 foot dedication.

City Commission if it was in the City of Dania and also asked. if

r ,stalce to iir. Sessa and also advised him at that time that when
:= these other people came in that the City was going to want a
50 foot dedication. He said he c;ixldntt recall whether or not
ll :rren was present or not. He vrp: on to say that he didntt think
W'FL it was unreasonable to ask for tl.:. dedication and it was his

recommended that the City call for a 50 foot easement since these

people own 50 feet behind Powers along with their 50feetbehind
a,

�K
-' i'r. iiarrone requested that if it wasn' t permisSable under the old
!, variance that lie be given permission to pull these boats out tb
paint the bottoms, reps- them and that sort of thing. Ile thinks-
he will lose a lot of his accounts unless he can do this since
this kind of work is usually done at the marina at which the boats
are docked. He went on that originally the restrictions and what
h? could do was put in the variance because there were objections
: •.m some of the people around hi!:a because they were afraid he would
have a Ravenswood sort of thing, however, he thought he had proved
his point of not having that sort of thing. He said he would only
have 2 or 3 boats of that size and it was all right if they limited
= the amount of boats he could have at one time. He is also agree-
able to taking thorn out and putting them where they won't be an
eyesore to the basin since he vranted to improve and increase the
pl,oe anyway he could, and with the large iivestrent he had in the
i place he wasn't going to do anything to detract from it. He then
presented plans showing that he had a ramp for pulling boats out
of the water,
` liayor Kelly told Ilre tlarrone that although he wasn't the iiayor at
the time this variance was granted, he happened to be at the meet.-
ing when lire iiarrone made the roquest and at thn..t ttrr ',.e had said
e, the ramps were put tl�zre for the convenience of _�^.ei�1 : _ ,
there to put their boats in and out of the watp.- : alg- eras
his und.crstanding that ill. iiarrone would ms�s no reh.rara other
xy than very small repair^ He said he thr ,ght the ordinance I?c%
Harrone had stated boats there would be 30 feet or 4,i feet, no
+i,r,
boats would be sty; ed open, the yacht basin was to be user.
for ,:' t.sure boa�;s on7.-Y, E I no large repairs would be made except;
ign1 4,'.on rr; ^irs.
ire Plarrone said the ordinance said minor repairs; that ignition
repairs were like no repairs- Ise asked that if making re�rairs
wasn"s in the ordinance tliat it be pat in. and he was .s!tar< their
permission to make repairs.
City Attoney ?Ialden said it was up to the City Commission to give
a further variance; that the Bldg. Inspect_r oi:en called. him to
get his opinion of whether he should issue an oceupat-' . cal license
nr a bui.7 r11ng permit but if 'Ire iiaxwone was asking fc. a variance,
he would have to go through the proper channels.
Commissioner `oust. .n said he wasn't on the Commission a': i.hat time
either but he did recall that there was some opposition to the
basin. He advised I•Ire Iiarrone that he had gotten his variance at
that time and everything he wanted so far, so it would be his
suggestion that lire Iiarrone continue along for awhile annC. continue:
to run a proper basin, which he was .;. ing now, and he wt., sure
that the Commission would work along vrith him, but he hadn't
enough performance there yet to satisfy the reople ' n tht^ i._ic hl� r-
hood t'nat he. was running a nice basin t!ip^re, lire Irs xci,.: said h.-
had been operatic; 6months and anybody could see that he had a
nice place,
nmissio ..er Houston said he only had a couple of months of opera-
tion; that he thought he had a nica basin there but he wu:.ld 1.:1t:-
to see lire Iia:rronr go along a little longer in the same way ar_l
then he didn't think there would be any objectioi.s fr:7m the
neighboring people.
`« Commissioner Waiters asked what I•Ir. I•Iarror.e had in mind speoif: ^a
Hr. I•iarrone said he wanted to pull a boat out, paint the boat,;._,
pull s. motor out if need be. and put the motor bur)k.
Ccalmissioner Waiters suggested he go aloaz5 for a couple w,awrs
longer and then come in for a variance.
City V• ager Goldberg asked Iire I•Iarrone .`•_f Iit ..au t L� for

City Attorney '.!alden stated that an engineering fir.i had offered
c " their service:; tothe City for a comprehensive future long range
_ plan; that this firm, Smith and Gillespie, is trilling to make an
application for a federal loan to the City through HIM; that he
understand the basic background of the matter, and he also under-
stood that if the engineering firm was successful with the applica-
tion they would be paid a fee for their services. He said one of
the engineers from the firm was p),esent and could present the
,natter to the City Commission.
I,ir Prorreioe of Smith and Gillespie, said that this would be a
comprehensive future long range planning for the City. He said
® in regard to the application to be made to the federal government
for a loan, if the application for a planning loan is not approved,
the costs will be the firmts actue7 costs not to exceed L;2,000.00;
if the application proves to be incomplete or '_nr.-)rreot, then the
costs will not be reimbursed by the City. If t:iC planning loan is
not approved within 9 months of this contract, the City will re-

tion was complete and proper, atwhich time the city will coo,cel
the contract with the firm and and 'reimburse the actual costs.
Frotheroe said if the City was willing to go ahead with this long
.range comprehensive planning, he would suggest '<.at rasa
affirmatively to enter into a contract with Smit . and G' . •.zspie�
S
Ccmmiss oner Houston said he had re,�& some':'_ang abor. , this HIM
and if they entered in'.,. a contract wit!.. an engines.: did it mean
theyiere signing a contract for the future E-nginaering of the
drainage. City ^ ' '•.ors Jz-1den said '�•b was not; that the contra( .:
was an authorizail.on far t,i_r+ preparation of the comprehensive
• future lon;; range planning and application which would be made by
the engineering firm.
Commissioner Houston said bac'� in 1c48 they had been told by the
government that they could. h-ve a loari a':' to draw r* 7-m,� plans
I
or a water plant, so the co;amission authorized the drawing;- of
A plans. He said when they got the bill 1''' ':`ra for 1`,;,7or .oC, whicl..
they had to pay back, and all they had was a ch-.-awing on a small
piece of paper. He said the firm was Smiti: and Gillesp' e.
ProthLru_• said the loan will have to be paid back afi, you put
in the drainage system. He said he had shown them plans n' othe-
A drainage systams ".n other places which atere not summariNs but
Could ba used to '"ild your own storm dc-ainage faailitieso He
said the Commission had acted on thr other contract affirmatively
on two conferences; that there were two questions xalsed and they
had prepared the contract in the form of what was discussed at th--.
conferences.
.Ln the d .scusL:ion that followed, Commissioner Houston said they
already had some plans about the drainage and. asks.'. if thess .o:, i
bp use-1 . pr, :heres ad71sed they would usa vr.a.tever L'hey could
and not make dup:i.i.oate s+,-ndie<• or plans. Drainage trouble ar-o:.
were also discussed. Commissioner Houston pointed out that part
c, ' the trouble on Fdderal Highway was because they didnt '; have t-.
right: of ways; thet they should acquire those right-of-wa3s in: ;: :::
of letting the St+r.te and County go', away with putting sewers in
the way they wanted to.
Mr. Smith said it had been found that these comprehensive sti,•3.;
served to coordinate the drainage with the City, County and.
State Road Departments in that if you I mer7 the drainage requir--
ments you could deal with thggm and have the Cityts drainage
requirements taken care of/Me same tim: they 11--re put"''rn
State Highway. Commissioner Houston said in tL;:! areas where br.eg
had good elevation they did not have such a p. . -.om. Commissions^°
Waiters said there was a problem on S.E . 4th oL:ai.ss:i ;rar Hour,*.

Protheroe said the City doesntt have a compl:: a 'l-?.' ,tge study
of the City and one is needed; that with the preparation of the
comprehensive studies they had some guidance from the study in
the planning and zoning of the City.

Commissioner liouston said every tLn.e the government sayf it is go• '
ing to loan some money, the engineers from all over sts.rt running
around and drawing plans and he didntt want to see the governmentts
money or the City money wasted.
Protheroe said the $p ,000.00 will not cover the study; that the
2,000o was for preparing an application which will support your
application for federal funds to make a comprehensive future long
range planning study; that the study would cost between 5129000.
and 4 5,000.
G Commissioner Waiters said a comprehensive plan for the entire city
could be done in five stages and he couldn+ t see not doing its
that it was necessary to start somewhere to get something adequate.
Commissioner Houston asked . Prothe'roe if he would be able to make
r„ the application without somekind cf 4 study P; .theroe said they
?r"= would most likely have to make a feasibill.ty s%' '.:I so that the

application could show the Cityts e:nility to pay back the loan,
