1. Will Allen, Growth Management Director, presented a letter from Henry P. Cook, Director of
Broward County Engineering, requesting confirmation from the City of Dania that acknowledges Broward
County as the permit and maintenance authority for NE 10 Street. Mr. Allen reminded the Commission [
that Broward County passed an agreement recently with Port Property Associates indicating that the
County would accept and maintain NE 10th Street.
Les Spencer, Assistant Director of the Broward County Engineerin Division, assured the City that the County is
not asking the City to make any commitment as to the functional classification of NE 10 Street. He stated that
ive implementation of a DRI requirement along with a Trafficways Plan
clot County is asking for some cooperat
and City Transportation element.
Discussion followed on the permit jurisdiction question that needs to be resolved and that the Florida Department
of'rransportation is the only agency that can functionally classify a road. Mr. Spencer said the State must enact a
study to determine functional classification and that notices and hearings have to be conducted with cities and
counties to address the proposed classification.
j Vice Mayor Mikes questioned the irregular procedure being used by the County in completing this road as the
1 conventional EManning approval pprocess has not been followed. Mr. Spencer advised that a DRI has been
completed and that Dania s rrafficways and Transportaion Plan implements this corridor and that the County is
just ensuring that the developer completes tloe improvements at no cost to the taxpayers.
Vice Mayor questioned whether this project is listed as a City road/project in the DRI and whether the County
must go thni an amendment process with the Planning Council to change this road to a county road.
Mayor Hyde expressed his dissatisfaction with the County coning before Dania asking for cooperation in the
completion of NE loth Street when they have not cooperated for an extensive period with Dania on the SW 30th
Avenue road problems.
Vice Mayor asked legal opinion on the action taken by the County to condemn this property and whether the
County loas exercised proper use of eminent domain. Mr. Adler stated that this issue would have to be determined
by a judge. Vice Ma}}or mentioned the mitigation that was suppose to be done for the road impacts that involved
traffic studies and wloether this is just a manipulation of ownership by the County.
Will Allen expressed the need to ensure that the engineering of the road be conducted properly and didn't feel it
noatters what governmental body reviews the plan.
Discussion followed on the State Statute interpretation of whether this road is a city road or a county road and the
need for functional classification to occur.
Since Mr. Spencer only represented the Engineering Department for Broward County, he recommended for Dania r
to present tloeir concerns to the Broward County Administrator's office.
Bill Spencer, Esq., Eller, Spencer & Butler, presented letters from 1985 and 1987 that were written by Dania City
Manager's expressing the positive impact that the completion of NE 10th Street would have to Dania. Mr. Spencer
stated that his client has been subject to extensive costs due to the delays that have been imposed by Dania.
Bernie Budd, Michael Swerdlow Architect Co., stated that all requirements to the DRI have been met and asked
the City to issue the permit to go forward. !!

required to conduct business as
It was decided that Mr. Oyler would create an ordinance establishing the CRA and one establishing an advisor} r
board after the 'Finding of Necessity' procedures are completed i
4. Dan Oyler reported on the results from a meeting held recently with several business and property
owners regarding changing NW 1 Avenue to a two-way street between Dania Beach Boulevard and NVG 1st
Street. Mr. Oyler advised that the Sheriffs Office has reported that 8 to 10 accidents have happened at the
intersection of NW 1st Avenue and Dania Beach Boulevard in the past year. Discussion followed on the loss
of parking spaces and the idea of paving a lot for parking at the Womens Club.
Mr. Oyler said he would look into the possibility of whether to enforce post office patrons to use the parking lot
provided for post office business in an effort to discourage street parking.
5. Will Allen, Growth Management Director, presented continued discussion on rezoning property along
the north side of Sheridan Street from U.S. 1 to Dixie Highway from Low Medium (10) Residential to
Commercial. Mr. Allen didn't think the rezoning would be a good idea based on the traffic link between
Dixie I IigI way and US I being at over capacity and due to the criteria for land use amendment requiring
that traffic concurrency be met.
The Commission generally agreed that this would not be a good idea and that long range plans need to be
discussed for this area.

recycling program in accordance with the Broward County Recycling Agreement that the City entered into
when they obtained the grant funds to purchase the Brush Chipper. He recommended to set up a drop off
site at the Public Works Compound to convert tree tritnming and yard waste into mulch. Residents could
bring up to six (6) cubic yards and would have to show proof of residence.
The Commission expressed concern with most of Dania residents not being able to bring the yard waste to the
Public Works Garage.
9. Mayor Hyde suggested to include airplane noise into the Dania Noise Ordinance. Discussion followed
on whether BSO can measure airplane noise complaints from residents with the certified noise meter.
' i
City Attorney Adler stated that Dania Code covers any noise made within the city limits.
j
Vince Carroll mentioned that Seacoast Sanitation operates in the southeast section prior to the 7:00 a.m. beginning
time which causes disturbance to residents.
10. City Manager Flatley reported on the Coastal Council of Cities meeting that took place in June with
City Managers, Mayors and Commissioners to discuss similar coastal problems. He encouraged Commission
attendance at the next meeting on September 8th that will be held at the Ft. Lauderdale Center of
Perfornung Arts. At the recent City Manager Coastal Meeting held Aupust 17th at the I.T. Parker Center,
several cities supported the proposed act to waive municipalities from being required to enter Sovereignty
Submerged Land Leases with the State on projects like the Dania Pier when it is for public use.
