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, 1997.
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 have been assigned one-half ESU and larger single-family residences have
been calculated individually.
Copies of the Stormwater Utility Ordinance (Ordinance No. 13-96), the Initial
Stormwater Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 73-96), the Final Stormwater
Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 73-96, as amended by Resolution No. 103-96
A-2
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, 1997, 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 $320.86. 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 (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 1997, 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 last year in fairly and efficiently providing a much needed alternative funding
and collection approach for these vital and essential services.
A public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on September 11, 1997, 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.
