4 . PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
4 .1 Petitioner/Owner - Bruce B. Kodner; property located at 102 East
. '' Dania Beach Boulevard. VA-12-91 - A variance is requested to allow a
third wall sign (only two permitted on a corner lot) .
A.J. Ryan, representing Bruce Kodner Galleries , stepped forward to
request variance approval to allow a third wall sign located on the east
side of the building.
Will Allen, Growth Management Director, explained that a permit for the
third sign was erroneously issued June 22, 1990 and that November 8,
1990 a letter was sent to the owner advising him that he had 30 days to
comply with Code by removing the sign . Mr. Allen mentioned that since
the sign was not removed by the owner, this violation was forwarded to
the Code Enforcement Board in April 1991 . The Code Enforcement Board
continued the case based on the filing of a variance request by the
j petitioners. He mentioned that the Planning & Zoning Board was
sympathetic to the Petitioner for the error made by the City and to the
owner ' s expense for the three signs estimated at $14 , 000 but agreed that
the Code should be upheld. The Planning and Zoning Board commended the
owner for the improvements made to the subject property but recommended
' denial of the third sign due to a second sign being granted for a corner
lot in accordance with City Code .
Will Allen then reviewed photographs taken of the signs on the subject
property with the Commission.
City Attorney Adler confirmed that even though the City issued the
permit in error, the City does have the power to revoke such a permit
even though Mr. Kodner incurred expenses to purchase a third sign.
Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing. Peggy Breeschoten commented on
the excessive variance requests by Bruce Kodner. Paul DiMaio mentioned
that several businesses have been allowed to have huge signs which are
an eyesore and felt Mr. Kodner should be granted this variance.
Will Allen, Growth Management Director, stated that several signs in the
downtown area will be removed in 1993 in accordance with the City ' s sign
Ordinance being enforced by the Downtown Redevelopment Agency.
A.J. Ryan clarified that this is the first variance request by Bruce
Kodner and that other variances have been requested by another Kodner .
After hearing Alex Buchsbaum, Irving Warman and Bob Adams recommend
approval of this variance, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Grace , seconded by Vice Mayor Mikes to
approve the variance VA-12-91 to allow a third wall sign as requested by
Bruce Kodner for property located at 102 East Dania Beach Boulevard with
the addition of three alexander palms on the west side .

right-of-way. Mr. Allen presented a survey plat showing the

that the reason for the need to vacate this right-of-way is because this
is the only access to the 10 1/2 acres to the south .

right now with the owners of the 10 acres to the south .

Plat property. Mr. Atkinson explained that the Airport 10 Plat was

insisted on a non-access easement being placed along the entire east
boundary of this property as they felt it would create an unsafe traffic
situation to access this property from the east . Mr. Atkinson stated
that the owner of the property, at that time , agreed with the easement
condition to the plat approval . He then mentioned that his present
clients acquired the property on the auction block when it was
foreclosed by Hollywood Federal . After taking title to the property,
his clients were informed by the City that there were two possible means
of accessing their property (1) NE loth Street (2) a secondary access
that could be Put acros., Griffin Road.

I charging rent to tenants on the City' s right-of-way which is not right
Ill and that his clients wish to develop their 10 acres of property but are
restricted due to responsibilityk access .of e expressed
to theresidentsof Daniatoensurecclearanceiof all

trailers lying in the right-of-way within 90 days owner of t is being sent to the
he property; Stewart Johnston, Trustee and Katherine Johnston,
Trustee, 9327 Chelsea Drive North , Plantation, Florida . Mr. Adler
assured Alex Buchsbaum that the letter is not being sent to the renters
in the right-of-way and that the owner is responsible for moving the
trailers and compensating these individuals for damages . Mr. Adler
stated that it is against the law to use public right-of-way for private
purposes unless there is a lease agreement with the City. Mr. Adler
also mentioned that the City does not have a right to work out an
agreement with someone who is violating the law and did not recommend a
workshop meeting be scheduled.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino,to send t seconded by Commissioner Hyde
he necessary letter to enforce the property owner to vacate the
City right-of-way by removing all trailers .

project with the Planning Council . He explained that the airport is
•_, planning to fund this project for the Planning Council along with trying
to obtain federal funding to pay for the study which will include 5
phases and should take 18 months to complete.
Jay Fields , Chairman for the Dania Airport Advisory Board, advised the
Commission that the Board has expressed opposition to the adoption of
this resolution proposed by the Metropolitan Planning Council in
conjunction with the Broward County Planning Council as they feel it is
a duplication of planning efforts and a waste of tar. dollars . He also
expressed the Board' s concern that Dania would be transferring certain
local control over to another planning group or agency.
i
Commissioner Bertino expressed his concern for the City entering into a
planning effort for the expansion of the airport since the City is in
opposition of the expansion and may enter litigation in the near future.
I
Mike Wanchick, Administrator for Broward County Planning Council , came
forward to clarify the misconceptions that this is a regulatory effort .
He stated that this is a planning effort that is intended to be multi-
jurisdictional planning effort not strictly intended to implement
anything that the airport may have in mind or particular local
jurisdiction. He stated that it is the Planning Council ' s intention to
foster as much inter-governmental coordination and cooperation as
possible. Mr . Wanchick stated that Broward County is legally required
to go thru with this effort whether or not local communities agree or
not. He expressed the need for community input in this program to
address everyone ' s needs .
