Terry Virta, Growth Management Director, advised that the applicant was directed to further address two issues that were raised at the last meeting. He passed out an elevation of the site that displayed an awning system around the building rather than the building itself being modified to meet the design guidelines. Mr. Virta advised that there were no current City records of any occupational licenses establishing a business use at this location. He advised that Mrs. Zavalis had documents indicating that personal property taxes had been paid for an on-going business at this location until the time the Zavalis' purchased it and there could be a question as to whether or not there was a continuity of a non-conforming use at this structure. In response to Mayor Bertino, City Attorney Ansbro felt that the continuity of a non- conforming use would be in question if no occupational license had existed for the site. Mrs. Zavalis was present to request approval of the site plan. Mayor Bertino opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor of or in opposition to the request, the public hearing was closed. In response to Commissioner Mikes, Mr. Virta explained that he advised Mr. Zavalis that he would have to construct a wall between the commercial property and the residence, or seek a variance, as well as alter the commercial structure to comply with design guidelines, or seek a variance. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Etling, to continue Item 3.1 to the November 23, 1999, Regular Meeting in order for City Attorney Ansbro and staff to review whether the continuity of the non-conforming business use at the property was broken and to determine if the structure should have to meet the design guidelines.

AND SW 14TH STREET; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Terry Virta explained that this item was continued because of concerns with the site plan; primarily on the south side of the site where there was a dumpster with a driveway for a garbage truck which would cause it to back out on to the street. Discussions were held between the Architect and Bud Palm, Director of Public Works, and the applicant was now proposing to eliminate the dumpster requirement and request the use of rollout garbage containers. Mr. Virta advised that the revisions made on the site plan met the 70/30 pervious/impervious ratio that was now in effect. Graham Geralds, Architect, was present to request approval of the revised site plan. In response to Commissioner Etling, Mr. Geralds advised that Mr. Collie would be occupying approximately 500 to 600 square feet of the building for a barbershop. He also advised that one tenant would be a mail/ packaging/shipping business. Commissioner Etling was concerned about the amount of garbage that would be generated. Vice-Mayor McElyea was concerned about having to place the containers on the sidewalk and about the trucks having to back out into the street. Commissioner Mikes felt that the rollout containers would work but was concerned about a situation with overflowing containers. Mayor Bertino opened the public hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor of or in opposition to the site plan, the public hearing was closed. City Attorney Ansbro advised that a condition could be made that there be no tenant, no occupational license issued or water service provided until the prospective tenant had been examined by the Growth Management Department to determine if the proposed use would generate trash and rubbish that would be confined to one or more rollout containers. Commissioner Mikes was concerned about the building not being centered on the property. He felt that the building should be centered with landscaping on both sides of the property. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Etling, to adopt the resolution approving the Site Plan (SP-24-99) with the following conditions: (1) that the building be centered on the property with landscaping on both sides; (2) that no occupational license be issued or water service provided until the prospective tenant had been examined by the Growth Management Department to determine if the proposed use would generate trash and rubbish that would be confined to one or MINUTES—CITY OF DANIA BEACH 5 NOVEMBER 9, 1999 ' t Y 1 more rollout containers; (3) that three 96-gallon rollout trash containers be allowed and the container housing block wall be moved back to accommodate a third container; (4) that four trees be planted on the North side and one tree on the South side (total of five trees) to be symmetrically distributed along the building; and (5) that the parking lot be properly graded to allow storm water to drain properly on both sides of the building.

Attorney Richard Seay was present on behalf of the new owner of the subject property. He explained that Mr. Ulbrich inherited the code violations after obtaining ownership due to foreclosure. He advised that the previous property owner did make efforts to clean up the property. He also advised that the new owner had expended $28,000.00 to comply with all the violations and the new tenant, USA Boating, had expended $30,000 to improve the property. He mentioned that as soon as one violation was corrected, the tenants of the mobile home park would cause another violation to occur and Mr. Ulbrick decided that the best course of action to take was to close the park and develop the property for the marine industry. Mr. Seay advised that the Code Enforcement Board, at their meeting on October 11, 1999, made three motions that all ended in a tie vote and the item was deferred to the City Commission for action. He mentioned that the park had been an eyesore for some time and his clients had gone to great expense to clean it up. Attorney Seay felt that his client should be given a lot of credit and consideration for what they have done and respectfully requested that the Commission seriously consider abating the fine to zero or up to $5,000.00.

Item 6.10 was continued to the Regular Meeting of December 14, 1999. 6.11 Discussion of Amnesty Program for Code Enforcement liens. City Manager Smith presented an outline of an Amnesty Program to be available to residents who provide a remediation plan to bring their property into full compliance with the Code. He explained that it would be administered internally in lieu of having to go through the abatement process. If an individual property owner was willing to put money into the property to bring the property into full compliance, they would get credit for the code violation fines that have accumulated to that point. However, all staff costs associated with processing the code violation would not be eligible for amnesty. The program would not be available to someone who would choose to go through the abatement process allowed by State Law and it would not be available to someone who was a repeat offender. The property owner would have to present a plan including costs and a time frame to bring the property into full compliance with the code and they would also have to use licensed contractors and obtain all applicable permits. The City Commission generally agreed that the approval of the remediation plan should be handled by the Code Enforcement Board. City Attorney Ansbro was directed to prepare an ordinance allowing for a Special Master to assist with Code Enforcement cases and bring it back at the December 14, 1999, Regular Meeting. 6.12 Discussion of moving I.T.

Discussion followed on moving the house to various locations such as Mullikin Park, Frost Park or in the City Hall parking lot across the street from the Nyberg/Swanson House. The City Commission generally agreed to direct City Manager Smith to obtain cost projections on moving the house to the different locations and bring it back to the Commission. 6.13 Discussion of proposal to purchase the Frost property. City Manager Smith advised that he met with the trustees of the Frost Estate who advised him that they had an offer on the table but agreed to accept the City's offer. They're asking price was $550,000 and a $20,000.00 deposit would be required while the City goes through the due diligence process and secures financing. Mr. Smith made an offer of$450,000.00 but the trustees were not willing to sell it for that price. He stated that an appraisal would be part of the due diligence process. Mr. Smith MINUTES —CITY OF DANIA BEACH 17 NOVEMBER 9, 1999 L r 7 advised that the building would remain in tact where it was presently located and possibly used as a Cultural Facility. A motion was made by Commissioner Etling, seconded by Commissioner Mikes, approving execution of a document that would bind a refundable $20,000.00 deposit subject to the appraisal and until the City's due diligence is exhausted with the 30 day term to be negotiated.
