The bill for irrigation was $108.00 and she indicated that she had a difficult time dealing with the Water Department. Ms. Phillips had a plumber check the irrigation system and he did not find a leak. Mr. Hankerson was worried to hear comments such as "this happens all the time". He hoped the City would mitigate this issue for the resident. Mayor Jones asked Public Services Director Orlando to look into the matter. Commissioner Bertino was concerned with the comment that this happens all the time. He would like to see this problem rectified. City Manager Pato advised that in other cases we found that people were watering their lawns 3- 4 times per week and would sometimes let the water run longer. He noted that the Finance Department brings these matters to his attention as well as the Public Services Department. City Manager Pato clarified that only the Commission can mitigate or reduce the fee. Vice-Mayor Castro suggested implementing an internal process to deal with customer service matters. Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 150 Street, commented on the Visioning Sessions and encouraged residents to attend the upcoming sessions on June 20-22 at Frost Park.

Mr. Van Eron advised that today the County Commission voted to move forward and use Tourism Development Tax (TDT) funds to build a Convention Center Hotel, a decision which is against the wishes of the tourism industry in Broward County.

Commissioner Anton pointed out that this purchase is being funded from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, not the General Fund. Commissioner Anton motioned to adopt Resolution #2008-094; seconded by Commissioner Bertino. Commissioner Bertino clarified that police officers would be duly trained to use this type of weapon.

She noted the application does not meet all eight criteria required by Code. Commissioner Bertino motioned to adopt Resolution #2008-095; seconded by Vice-Mayor Castro. Vice-Mayor Castro would like to see more of this art work that would revive our downtown area. Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 10,2008—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Anton requested City Manager Palo contact the City of Lake Placid, Florida, for information on the sound that they have added to their supergraphics. City Manager Palo noted he would like to work with CRA Director Earle because this property is located in the CRA district. Mayor Jones commented that if we do this we are setting the theme for what we want to do in the community. He questioned if we should wait until after the Visioning Sessions to approve the request. Clare Vickery, property owner, indicated that this would not set a precedent and thought the Commission would be happy with it. She noted that people have a hard time finding her building because everything downtown is white or dilapidated, and the mural would be a good marketing tool for her business. Ms. Vickery expects to begin the graphic immediately. Frank Ciccio, 2665 Middle River Drive, Fort Lauderdale, local artist who will paint the supergraphic, said he could change the rendering to something else for the Commission. Vice-Mayor Castro commented that even after tomorrow's Retreat, downtown will still look as it does for a long time. She thought this was an interim solution to the redevelopment of our downtown. Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing. Derrick Hankerson, 746 SW 3rd Street, expressed concern and alarm because we just asked the citizens what they wanted Dania Beach to look like, and this seems to be circumventing the process. He urged the Commission to table the request until the people decide on their vision of the City. Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 15d' Street, thanked Clare Vickery for doing something for the downtown district, and urged the Commission to move forward. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Jones closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Anton agreed with Mr. Hankerson and the Mayor, but the Commission recently approved the building for Mr. Casper, which is also unique. He pointed out that we do not want to put every project on hold while we work on the redevelopment of our City. Vice-Mayor Castro noted this does not circumvent the process but enhances our downtown while we move forward. She stressed the fact that there are businesses that need to survive while we go through the process, and we must support them. Vice-Mayor Castro advised that at the Visioning Sessions last weekend, a lot of residents talked about quaintness and maintaining our unique downtown atmosphere. This process will take time. Minutes of Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 10,2008—7:00 p.m. The motion carried on the following 4-1 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Castro Yes Commissioner Bertino Yes Mayor Jones No Commissioner Flury Yes City Attorney Ansbro advised the remaining items were quasi-judicial matters and swore-in those who would speak.

Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal City Planner, noted the location of the property and explained it is in the CRA district. She advised there has not been an active business license for this location for over a year, therefore the landscape needs to be updated. Ms. Lajoie indicated the landscape requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting a sign variance and the elimination of a wall/fence; the third variance is for alcohol sale within 700 feet from a school, Code requires 1,000 feet. A perimeter landscape buffer variance is also being requested for a dumpster enclosure. The applicant is requesting outdoor dining and the Code requires that the Commission approve the outdoor furnishings. She further noted that the applicant is also requesting live entertainment three times per year. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with staff conditions. Staff recommended approval of the variances and perimeter landscape buffer, with the condition that rolling gates are provided to eliminate vehicle conflicts when the gates are open. Ms. Lajoie advised that the approval of the remaining items are at the discretion of the Commission. Commissioner Anton disclosed he spoke with John Bartley regarding the project. Patrick Utter, 1144 Van Buren Street, Hollywood, property owner, noted he is a lifelong restauranteur and has owned Shenanigans for 16 years. He noted he is installing 9 Live Oaks Trees along the back property line, and if he installs a fence adjacent to the existing fence it would create a liability. Mr. Utter responded for Commissioner Flury that he would agree to install a new fence should anything happen to the existing one. He noted he met with members of the community and assured them that if there is a traffic/parking problem he will install signs directing people where to go. Mr. Utter indicated there would not be any loud music outdoors. Vice-Mayor Castro confirmed with Mr. Utter that he would be willing to work with staff if traffic becomes a problem in that neighborhood. Minutes of Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 10,2008—7:00 p.m. Mayor Jones requested lighting toward the back of the property, provided it does not affect the neighbors who are in close proximity to the business. Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearings. Joe Van Eron, 1500 SW 2"d Avenue, noted he and Lisa Young met with Mr. Utter and they are excited about the project. He said they did not see the site plan before it came to the Commission and noticed there are still some issues that have not been addressed. They are concerned with additional traffic, sound, lighting, etc. Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 15°h Street, is thrilled with the project. He is concerned with the variance for the wall/fence and would rather see a masonry wall between the business and the adjacent residences. Rose Lizana, 214 SE 2"d Street, urged the Commission to grant the variances and support the business. She noted that as publisher of the local newspaper, she has heard comments from residents and other business owners on how excited they are with this project. Patty Hart, 517 NE 2"d Place, questioned the separation between the walls. She suggested contacting the property owner and offering to replace the wall. Ernie Candelmo, 4100 Pierce Street, Hollywood, supported opening the Shenanigans on Federal Highway. He spoke highly of the owners being good corporate citizens and felt that their dedication and work ethics would be an asset to the downtown area in the City of Dania Beach. Annette Hibbitts, 26 SW 11d' Street, spoke in favor of the project. John Bartley, 201 SE 2"d Avenue, Contractor for the project, noted the back parking lot would be repaved, re-sealed and striped. He indicated there would only be a right turn when leaving the property. Lisa Young, 609 E. Sheridan Street, #103, president of Dania Beach Heights Civic Association, noted they support the project but want it done right. She noted the traffic issue is a real concern. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Jones closed the Public Hearings. Commissioner Anton noted the applicant has agreed to replace the wooden fence if it is damaged and he is not concerned with the materials used, provided the neighbors and the business owner come to an agreement. He indicated that as long as the entertainment does not impact the neighborhood, it can occur more often. The traffic problems are primarily caused by cut-through traffic in peak hours and the owner has agreed to address the issue if it arises. Commissioner Anton thought Shenanigan's would be a major asset for our City. Minutes of Regular Meeting 11 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 10,2008—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Anton motioned to adopt Resolution #2008-089, with the following conditions: 1) Applicant will install a concrete wall if the existing fence comes down, or if the current owner agrees to have Shenanigans replace it now, 2) Applicant will maintain the hedge along the wall, 3) Applicant will install low level lighting in parking lot or other lighting as approved by staff, and 4) the applicant will help eliminate the traffic in the neighborhood when it becomes a problem; seconded by Commissioner Bertino. Vice-Mayor Castro supported the project. However, to avoid future traffic problems, she asked that the curb with the "right turn only" sign be installed immediately, directing traffic towards the Federal Highway Corridor. Mayor Jones agreed with the curb requirement. Commissioner Anton did not think the curb was necessary unless a problem arises. He thought installing the curb would be an inconvenience for the neighbors in that area. Vice-Mayor Castro made a substitute motion to have the applicant include the curbing in the site plan; seconded by Mayor Jones. Mr. Utter commented that he would be a very poor businessman not to comply with the requirements of the City. He noted that he gave his word that if the traffic becomes a problem he will do everything that the City needs him to do. However, he would like to open his business as soon as possible so he can support his family. Mr. Utter said he would like to establish a good and friendly relationship with the City and the adjacent neighbors. Mr. Bartley noted that traffic will not be able to turn east if a curb is installed. Commissioner Flury said she would not support the substitute motion. She would like this issue to come back to the Commission three months after the business opens with an assessment of what has happened during this time. Vice-Mayor Castro and Mayor Jones agreed to add the following condition to the original motion: Applicant will come before the Commission 4 months after opening the restaurant with an assessment of the traffic issues. The Commission reserves the right for the curb to be installed if traffic becomes an issue in the neighborhood.

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the request and the Public Services Director recommended approval of the waiver for pervious area due to site constraints. Luis Jurado, applicant, requested approval of the request to allow the employees of Dania Beach Scrap Metals to have a safe and secure parking area. He added that the business has been in operation in the City for many years and currently there is no more parking available. Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearings. Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 15a' Street, supported the request and noted the neighbors are thrilled that something will be done on this vacant lot. Clarence Franklin, 142 SW 50' Court, noted he parked his vehicles on the vacant lot, but it was not allowed by code and he had to get rid of his vehicles. He said it is not right to permit this owner to park there. Mr. Franklin also indicated that the lot floods and there is a serious drainage issue. Mr. Jurado noted they have a Surface Water Management permit from Broward County Environmental Protection Department regarding the drainage problem referred to by Mr. Franklin.

He would like the business to relocate to another neighborhood because it makes the area look very unpleasant. Commissioner Bertino questioned the zoning of the property. He noted it would be wrong on the part of the City to approve the expansion of this type of business. Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal City Planner, noted it is C-2 zoning district. Mayor Jones commented it is a dirty building, and a tractor trailer parks in the center of the street blocking traffic. He noted water flows from Sheridan Street when it rains.

She advised that the applicant is requesting a site plan, variances, and special exception to allow the construction of a 419-room hotel, office, and a 74-slip marina. Ms. Lajoie noted the variances are for a building height of 157 feet; a 12-story building; a loading zone with I V 4" clearance; to allow 18 loading spaces, and 965 parking spaces. She clarified that the parking study provided by the applicant supports the reduction in the parking and that the applicant would provide an airport shuttle for guests. Ms. Lajoie pointed out that because of the proximity to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and the proposed building height, they were required to obtain airspace permits from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA).

Commission Comments 10.1 Commissioner Anton Commissioner Anton commented on House Bill 5001 that targeted money for the construction of the south runway airport expansion. He noted that due to the importance of this issue, he had drafted a letter for the Mayor to sign tonight and send to Governor Crist. Commissioner Anton asked City Clerk Stilson to fax the letter to the Governor's office tomorrow morning and that the hard copy follow by mail. He explained that this is an FDOT grant funded by the state tax on aviation fuel. He pointed out that we thought that only a minimal amount of state funding would be involved in the airport expansion. It was the consensus of the Commission to send the letter to Governor Crist. Commissioner Flury suggested the cities of Hollywood and Davie be made aware of the content of the letter to the Governor, regarding House Bill 5001. Commissioner Anton noted that the Melaleuca Homeowners Association meeting will be held tomorrow, June 11, at 7:00 p.m. in the Commission Chamber at City Hall.

Commissioner Anton advised the final EIS Study would be ready to be released for publication the first or second week in July, and 60-90 days later the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) should make a decision. Commissioner Anton updated everyone on a recent meeting he had with DCOTA representatives regarding the request by the City to have Dania Beach included in their proposed sign. DCOTA has agreed to help the City build a gateway to Dania Beach sign as well as other marketing strategies that will be beneficial to the City. 10.2 Commissioner Bertino Commissioner Bertino thought that retired General Employees should receive a COLA increase, just as the FRS employees do. He explained that the General Employees who have retired under the previous retirement system only receive the COLA increase if the plan meets the investment mark. Commissioner Bertino pointed out that the plan has not met the eight percent mark since Minutes of Regular Meeting 19 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 10,2008—7:00 p.m. 2002 therefore, those who retired a long time ago have not received any COLA increase since then. He felt the Commission should look into the problem to try to offer some financial relief to those employees who worked for the City for so many years. 10.3 Commissioner Flury Commissioner Flury had no comments. 10.4 Vice-Mayor Castro Vice-Mayor Castro had no comments. 10.5 Mayor Jones Mayor Jones noted that on Friday, June 27`h, from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., Bass Pro Shops will be selling Duck Stamps.
