STORMWATER SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Dania will conduct a
public hearing to consider reimposing stormwater assessments for the provision of
stormwater management services within the City of Dania for the Fiscal Year beginning
October 1, 1998.
The stormwater assessments are based upon the estimated amount of stormwater
runoff generated by impervious surface on each parcel of property. Impervious surfaces
include the roof top, patios, driveways, parking lots and similar areas. The City has
determined that the median single-family residence in the City includes 1,836 square feet
of impervious surface, which is defined as one "equivalent stormwater unit" or"ESU". The
annual stormwater assessment rate for the upcoming fiscal year will be $20.00 for each
ESU.
Generally, the number of ESUs will be calculated individually for each parcel of
property by dividing the impervious surface area by 1,836. However, since verifying the
impervious surface for each single-family residence in the City is a practical impossibility,
single-family residences with impervious surface area between 918 square feet and 3,672
square feet, inclusive, have been assigned one ESU. Smaller single-family residences
A-2
I
1 have been assigned one-half ESU and larger single-family residences have been
calculated individually.

Stormwater Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 73-96), the Final Stormwater
Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 86-96, as amended by Resolution No. 103-96 and
Resolution 116-96), the Preliminary Rate Resolution initiating the annual process of
updating the Assessment Roll and reimposing the Stormwater Assessments, and the
updated Stormwater Assessment Roll for the upcoming fiscal year are available for
inspection at the City Clerk's office.
if you have any questions, please contact the City Utility Department at
(954)921-8700, extension 321.
SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Dania will conduct a
public hearing to consider reimposing solid waste service assessments for the Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 1998, against certain improved residential properties located within
those incorporated areas of the City of Dania annexed pursuant to Chapter 90-483, Laws
of Florida (sometimes referred to as the "Griffin Road Annexation Area" or the
"Ravenswood Road Annexation Area ) or any other incorporated area served by water and
sewer service providers other than the City, to fund the cost of solid waste collection and
disposal services and programs provided to such properties and to authorize collection of
such assessments on the tax bill.
The solid waste service assessments will be computed by multiplying the number
of dwelling units on each parcel by the rate of assessment. The rate of assessment for the
upcoming fiscal year shall be $233.04. Unimproved properties, mobile home parks,
apartments with 10 or more dwelling units, condominiums, or commercial properties are
not subject to the solid waste service assessment.
Copies of the Solid Waste Service Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 9-96),
the Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 64-96), the Final Assessment Resolution
A-3
y
(Resolution No. 71-96), the Preliminary Rate Resolution initiating the annual process of
+� updating the Assessment Roll and reimposing the Solid Waste Service Assessments, and
the updated Assessment Roll for the upcoming fiscal year are available for inspection at
the City Clerk's office.
If you have any questions, please contact the City Utility Department at
(954)921-8700, extension 220 or extension 223, Monday through Friday between 9:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The above special assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill to be
mailed in November 1998, as authorized by section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure
to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which
may result in a loss of title. These special assessment programs proved to be successful
I
last year in fairly and efficiently providing a much needed alternative funding and collection
approach for these vital and essential services.
I
A public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on September 8, 1998, in the City
Commission Chambers of City Hall, 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania, Florida, for
the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed assessments. All affected
property owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the
City Commission within 20 days of this notice. If a person decides to appeal any decision
made by the City Commissioner with respect to any matter considered at the hearing, such
person will need a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim
record is made, including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be
made. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special
accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should contact the City
Clerk's office at (954)921-8700, extension 202, at least two days prior to the date of the
hearing.

The use of an annual special assessment to fund fire rescue services, solid waste services and stormwater

$ . The annual stormwater assessment is based upon the estimated amount of stormwater
runoff generated by impervious surface on the property.

$ . The annual solid waste assessment is based on the number of residential dwelling units
contained on each parcel of property.

100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania, Florida for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed

in an increased assessment, or owners of property not included on the prior year=s assessment roll will receive
updated mailed notice in addition to the annual published notice. You and all other affected property owners
have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the City Commission within 20 days of

considered at the hearing, you will need a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim
record is made, including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be made. In accordance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special accommodation or an interpreter to participate
in this proceeding should contact the City Clerk=s office at (954)921-8700, extension 202, at least two days
prior to the date of the hearing.
Unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief within 20 days from the date
of City Commission action at the above hearing (including the method of apportionment, the rate of assessment
and the imposition of assessments), such action shall be the final adjudication of the issues presented.
Copies of the legal documentation for the three non-ad valorem assessment programs are available for
inspection at the City Clerk=s office in the Municipal Building, located at 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard,
Dania, Florida.
The special assessment amounts shown on this notice and the ad valorem taxes for the above parcel will be
