Approval of Minutes of November 7, 2007 Commissioner Castro motioned to approve the Minutes of November 7, 2007; seconded by Vice-Chairman Jones. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino Yes Vice-Chairman Jones Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Chairman Anton Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Item #6 was heard after Approval of Minutes Item #3 was heard after Item #6 3. Canterbury Square — Steve Casper Steve Casper noted he is looking to make Dania Beach a destination. His presentation is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. He noted that Architect Bernard Zyscovich is not interested in coming into Dania Beach. Mr. Casper would like Dania Beach to develop as Helen, Georgia did, and said he found a person who designs buildings in a Sleepy Hollow fashion and it is his intention to convert the current Canterbury Square building into one of these designs. Mr. Casper indicated he is financing this small project without any government assistance, hoping the Dania Beach business community will embrace it. He asked the Board to review the information he provided. Mr. Casper believes with a little imagination anything is possible. The Board was in agreement with the concept of the building. Laurence Leeds, AICP, Community Development Director, noted there were certain guidelines adopted by the City Commission in 1998 that limits the downtown district to three colors. He asked the CRA Board to waive the guidelines because this building is quite colorful. City Attorney Ansbro noted the City Commission needs to waive the guidelines, not the CRA Board. Mr. Casper indicated he is interviewing four architects this week for the design of the building. He will also be working with a colorist so the building fits in, as opposed to standing out. It was the consensus of the Board to move forward with the project presented by Mr. Casper. 4. Proposal to convert the former Graves Museum to a Charter School Cynthia Dotson, National Project Director, Charter School Property Solutions, advised the school is an intercultural school that has been in existence in Dania Beach for three years. They are currently located at a church facility in Hollywood with an enrollment of approximately 150 students. Their ultimate goal is to move into the new building and have 500 students which would meet their educational mission. Bill Wallach, project manager, advised that they were looking for a building that would give them the flexibility to start small and eventually grow to their full capacity. They are willing to convert the former Graves Museum to a charter school. Laurence Leeds, AICP, Community Development Director, explained that parent drop-off/pick- up will be located to the rear of the school with primary access from SE 5a' Street. This is directly adjacent to a single story residence. He noted the applicant is aware that they need to meet the parking requirements. Ms. Dotson indicated they would consider the City's desire to keep the property on the tax roll. Mr. Wallach pointed out that the biggest cost would be installing 100 square feet of windows. He noted that although the building was constructed in 1948, it is solid and in very good condition. Commissioner Castro noted she liked the concept. However, she was concerned with traffic, parking, keeping the school on the tax roll, and protecting the community. Chairman Anton indicated they may want to consider traffic on Federal Highway. He did not want additional traffic going through the neighborhood. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday, December 13,2007—6:00 p.m. Commissioner Bertino thought there would be too many schools in a small area and another School Zone would need to be created. He noted the neighborhood is already impacted by the existing schools. Vice-Chairman Jones suggested they contact the School Board of Broward County to see if they could change the operating hours of the charter school, which could help with the traffic issue. 5. Consideration of the Site Plan Variance and Special Exception Approval Extensions for Hollywood Investments Group, LLC Laurence Leeds, AICP, Community Development Director, noted the report provided in the backup identifies the conditions that still need to be met. He noted that in January 2008, the applicant will come before the City Commission to request a 9-month extension on the project. David Mancuto, Attorney representing Hollywood Investments Group, LLC, noted they have been working on addressing the Commission's concerns during the past 90 days. He reported the unit sizes have increased and they have a mixed variety. Attorney Mancuto stated they do not have a contract with a builder because they do not have a design that the Commission is comfortable with. He pointed out their intent is not to sell the building. Attorney Mancuto further noted that they cannot line up a contractor for this project if he does not have an approved design. He confirmed they are prepared to move forward with this project, which they think is marketable. They need the ability to move forward because the 90-day window is confining. Attorney Mancuto indicated he is not yet ready to tell the Commission the price of these units; however, he indicated it would be affordable housing or workforce housing. Director Leeds responded for Commissioner Castro that in the past 90 days the applicant has addressed the two biggest concerns the Commission had, the parking and the size of the units. He indicated it should take the applicant another nine months to address the remaining conditions requested by the Commission. Commissioner Castro motioned to grant a 9-month extension; seconded by Commissioner Flury. She stated for the record that this would be the last extension she would support for this project. City Attorney Ansbro noted that the Commission will have to make this decision, not the CRA Board. He indicated this item will be included on the January 8, 2008 Commission Agenda. Commissioner Castro revised her motion to recommend to the City Commission that this request for another 9 months. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino Yes Vice-Chairman Jones Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Chairman Anton Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday, December 13, 2007—6:00 p.m. Item #6 was heard after Approval of Minutes 6. Interviews for CRA Director Commissioner Flury noted that after a thorough review of the applications received for the CRA- Redevelopment Director position, she selected two candidates who are present tonight to be interviewed by the CRA Board. Jeremy Earle,ASLA,AICP Jeremy Earle gave an overview of his education and professional work experience. His resume is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Vice-Chairman Jones asked Mr. Earle to talk about his empowerment zone experience. Mr. Earle noted he worked as Project Manager, Landscape Architect and Urban Planner for the Miami-Dade Empowerment Zone/City of Homestead SW Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, in a large scale (357 acre) project. He conducted data collection, analysis and inclusive planning relating to environmental and brownfield issues, green development, land use, zoning, housing, transportation/transit/infrastructure and utilities/water lines/sewer lines to create a thorough redevelopment plan currently being implemented. Mr. Earle confirmed for Vice-Chairman Jones that he will obtain his MBA in June, 2008. Mr. Earle responded for Vice-Chairman Jones that if he were to use the Urban Infill Development Plan adopted by the Commission in 2003, he would target specific areas needing improvement. Commissioner Castro advised that she is particularly looking for someone who would focus in the commercial redevelopment of the downtown area. She asked him for ideas to attract developers to Dania Beach. Mr. Earle noted he would: 1) make sure that Codes are in place to give the developer the incentive to come to this community; and 2)put together a few parcels that the City would like to develop, preferably in the downtown area and offer them to a developer. Mr. Earle responded for Commissioner Castro that his experience working with Kimley-Horn would allow him to understand what a developer is looking for in a project. He is not only a planner, but a landscape architect and a designer as well, so he would be able to bring ideas that would attract developers to the City. In response to Commissioner Castro's question, Mr. Earle noted that his weakness in this type of position is taking work home. Minutes of Regular Meeting 4 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday, December 13,2007—6:00 p.m. Commissioner Castro asked how he would deal with different personalities whom he would report to, as well as balancing all the pressures from the CRA Board and staff. Mr. Earle indicated he knows he would be pulled in different directions, but the main thing is to maintain your focus. Commissioner Bertino remarked the City wants commercial development in the downtown area. He noted we already have a Code and a plan in place. He asked Mr. Earle what strategies he would use to attract developers to the City. Mr. Earle indicated that he would reach out to his network of developers to market the City of Dania Beach, and leverage their contacts. He would begin to educate developers about the City and show them what Dania Beach has to offer. He indicated this involves constant communication and is a long term project. Chairman Anton reaffirmed that our main objective is to develop the downtown area but unfortunately, it has not been developed the way we would like to see it. Chairman Anton asked Mr. Earle if he had experience in creating a theme-type project which would revitalize our downtown. Mr. Earle advised that he worked on a theme-type project in the City of Homestead and he personally designed the requested style to give the city the identity they wanted. He stated the City of Dania Beach downtown area would be the perfect place for a new fagade improvement. Mr. Earle confirmed for Vice-Chairman Jones that he would try to create and design a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use downtown. Michael A. Caputo Michael Caputo gave an overview of his education and work history. His resume is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. His primary experience is residential development. Commissioner Castro pointed out that we have a CRA Board with no funding or financial mechanism. She asked Mr. Caputo what incentives he would use to attract developers to Dania Beach. Mr. Caputo noted that the Comprehensive Plan is the basis for redevelopment in the CRA district. Incentives of what Dania Beach has to offer could be used to entice developers in the Enterprise Zone. He would meet with developers to market Dania Beach. Mr. Caputo confirmed for Commissioner Castro that he has planned for commercial development, but not built it. Mr. Caputo responded for Commissioner Bertino that we are prepared to show developers what Dania Beach has to offer. He would bring people to the table and weed them out on a day to day level with the guidance from the CRA Board. He indicated the process works better if Minutes of Regular Meeting $ City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday,December 13,2007—6:00 p.m. developers work through a director as opposed to the CRA Board. Mr. Caputo reaffirmed to the Commission that he is well connected in real estate, and has experience with two large construction firms. He advised he will obtain his MBA in Real Estate Development in about a year. In order to build consensus from the developers, Mr. Caputo would propose workshops to familiarize himself with what existing property owners would be interested in. Chairman Anton commented we have different size parcels in Dania Beach. He asked Mr. Caputo how he would put all these parcels together in order to offer something attractive to developers. Chairman Anton also asked if he had experience in putting together a theme-type project. Mr. Caputo noted he has experience in assembling and taking multiple parcels for development. The Antique District and the Marine Industry are both part of the history of Dania Beach. Anything is possible, but the main ingredient is finding out what the people want in Dania Beach. Mr. Caputo asked the CRA Board where they see this position going. Chairman Anton responded the position would work for the CRA Board, and as it starts to grow, any number of things could happen. He noted we have not been successful with the CRA or development. This position would also work directly with other staff members. Commissioner Castro indicated that if the redevelopment of Dania Beach was successful, the person occupying this position would have countless opportunities. Item #3 was heard after the interviews Chairman Anton thanked Commissioner Flury for screening the candidates for this position. Commissioner Castro would like to wait until the New Year to make a decision and to have the opportunity to interview more candidates. The consensus was that Mr. Earle would be the top candidate so far. However, they would like to interview a couple more candidates at the next CRA Board meeting. City Attorney Ansbro spoke about the 109 Park property. He noted that that he and Mayor Anton met with Mr. Kushnir about a month ago to try to narrow the gap on the price. Chairman Anton indicated Mr. Kushnir would be providing further information. He suggested only one Commissioner meet for the negotiation. Once a final figure has been decided, it will be brought back to the Commission for final consideration. Commissioner Castro suggested the Mayor and City Attorney continue the negotiations. Minutes of Regular Meeting 6 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday, December 13, 2007—6:00 p.m. It was the consensus of the CRA Board that the Mayor continue negotiations with the City Attorney and Mr. Kushnir. City Attorney Ansbro clarified for the Board that there would be no conflicts if he meets with each Commissioner to hear their comments regarding this issue. Commissioner Castro hoped the City Manager would soon provide an update on the Library and the possibility of going out for an RFP with a view to obtaining some money back into the process. Vice-Chairman Jones asked if the CRA Director position would receive benefits. Chairman Anton indicated that would be a decision the CRA Board would make, not the City Commission. City Attorney Ansbro proposed the CRA Board contract with the person giving him the same benefits afforded department heads, minus retirement benefits. It was the consensus of the CRA Board to re-schedule the January 2, 2008 CRA Meeting for Wednesday, January 9, 2008. 7.

Call to Order Chairman Anton called the meeting to order at 6:06 p.m. Present: Chairman: Bob Anton Vice-Chairman Albert Jones Commissioners: John Bertino Anne Castro Patricia Flury City Manager: Ivan Pato City Attorney: Thomas Ansbro City Clerk Louise Stilson 2. Approval of Minutes of August 1, 2007 Commissioner Flury requested that the words "per space" be added to the fourth paragraph on page 3. Vice-Chairman Jones motioned to approve the Minutes of August 1, 2007; seconded by Commissioner Castro. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino Yes Vice-Chairman Jones Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Chairman Anton Yes Commissioner Flury Yes 3. CRA Brochure—How should it be used? Commissioner Castro questioned the process to deliver the brochures. She provided a book to the City Manager which includes a list of people that have been prominent in redevelopment in Broward County; she suggested compiling a list of the highlighted names. Commissioner Castro stated she wants to go to Miami Road to see the neighborhood redevelopment in order to obtain the name of some of the developers. City Manager Pato responded the brochure was developed for companies, developers and industries in which we are interested. He has also been working on a list, which includes names provided by Commissioner Castro. He asked the other Commissioners to provide additional names. His intent is to develop a cover letter and mail the brochure to businesses outside the area. He noted that he has received critical comments from companies of our plan, because the window of opportunity has changed. He indicated these companies said we need to refocus because our TOD and TOC may not be the right plan for the moment. He would like to narrow down a list of firms we want to bring to the City, in order to make them aware of opportunities that exist here. He stated small to medium business and commercial development are needed, as opposed to condominiums. City Manager Pato noted that a corridor is developing along 441 and 595 for small to medium sized office buildings. The brochure gives us an opportunity to begin conversations, and invite people to come and talk to us. Commissioner Castro noted that commercial development is not excluded from our plan. However, no one is bringing anything to the City. She suggested we invite developers to come to Dania Beach and give them a tour, and hold a workshop with them. She noted our biggest challenge is that the price of property is so much higher in Dania Beach, per acre, than other areas in Broward County. City Manager Pato stated that developers are looking for incentives, He thinks there is still an opportunity, but we need to be selective, and all members of the Commission need to reach out. He said that maintaining the small town charm was attractive to developers, but property prices need to come down to a realistic level. Commissioner Flury stated that she likes the idea of holding a workshop with people who have been successful in development. She noted there is a perception that Dania Beach is too hard to deal with. Commissioner Flury questioned the status of the Redevelopment Director. City Manager Pato responded that we are not interviewing for the Redevelopment Director, nor does he know what the qualifications should be, or who the person would report to. Commissioner Flury responded that Human Resources should advertise for the position, and the CRA Board should assign one Commissioner to review the applications and short list the applicants. She asked if there were projects in the downtown area that were pending. Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, noted that AMO has two projects: the redevelopment of the Adirondack property, and a site plan for a 3 story office building north of Checkers. He noted the office building will be for the Union, not a School. He also reported that property located at 246 N. Federal Highway has submitted a site plan for a mixed use project. Commissioner Bertino commented we need to look at hotels and office buildings for Dania Beach because banks require 50% hard contracts for condominiums,before approving loans. He indicated we have to utilize the airport to get redevelopment in the City. He suggested somebody go to the Miami Airport to see what companies are in the area because South American companies are looking for office space near airports. Commissioner Bertino noted the Redevelopment Director would have a tough job because the CRA does not have anything to offer to developers. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday,September 5,2007—6:00 p.m. Chairman Anton commented the Commission is difficult to deal with, and they all need to change their tone. He noted the lack of incentives is a hindrance to redevelopment. Commissioner Flury indicated we need a person with energy and determination that can bring redevelopment forward; somebody to help developers through the City and County processes. Commissioner Castro suggested the Redevelopment Director bring the conceptual renderings of projects to the CRA Board for consideration of possible incentives they could offer to the developers. She indicated that we should consider purchasing smaller parcels and issuing an RFP for redevelopment. Director Leeds noted that in large cities, developers do not need to go before the Commission for approval, provided they meet certain criteria. He indicated that the TOD/TOC district allows office buildings. CRA Board consensus on the brochure was to gather a core group of people in a workshop with the CRA Board in order to provide information. We also need to develop a list of developers and send brochures out as a marketing tool. Commissioner Flury commented that we should have workshops on projects with developers early in the process, as opposed to waiting until the public hearing at the City Commission meeting. CRA Board consensus was to have presentations before the CRA Board at their regular monthly meeting, and to schedule Commission workshops for properties not located in the CRA district. 4. Redevelopment Director—Hiring process and timeline Commissioner Bertino did not think the position was needed. Commissioner Castro thought we needed somebody to help developers through the City and County process. She noted we need to look at the small scale projects, not just big ones. She stated a qualification for the position should be prior experience in this field. Vice-Chairman Jones does not want the position politicized. Commissioner Flury noted we need a person, and the position was approved in the Budget. She indicated the City Manager should get job descriptions from other cities and provide them to the Commission for review. CRA Board consensus was to move forward with the position, and for Commissioner Flury to do the initial review of the applications, then schedule interviews before the CRA Board. Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday,September 5,2007—6:00 p.m. City Manager Palo will ask Human Resources to contact Commissioner Castro for list of qualifications for the position. He asked for clarification on whether the position is a full-time employee or contract employee. CRA Board consensus was for a full-time person, whether City employee or contract employee. Commissioner Castro asked how we were going to get our name on the airport signs and buildings. City Attorney Ansbro responded it is not in the Interlocal Agreement, but he will contact former Commissioner Bob Mikes to find out what agreement was made. 5.
