6. Citizen Comments
Judy Davis, 113 SE 2 d Court, addressed the recent street closure in her neighborhood. She said
her neighborhood is now getting the traffic that was diverted from SE 151 Street. Ms. Davis noted
she has attended most of the meetings in connection with street closures, as well as those held by
Boyd Gaming. She thought this was the wrong decision and requested that the City reverse the
street closure.
Sean Eckhardt, 4741 SW 42nd Terrace, described the problem with the structure on his property.
He spoke with City Manager Pato after the August 26 Commission meeting as directed by the
City Commission. Mr. Eckhardt does not feel that the City Manager is gathering enough
information, other than from the Code Compliance Unit.
City Manager Pato responded that he does not have the authority to do what Mr. Eckhardt wants,
based on the legal advice he has been given.
City Attorney Ansbro noted that unfortunately Mr. Eckhardt inherited the problem from the
previous owners.
Mr. Eckhardt stated that his property was grandfathered in when it was annexed into the City in
2001. He noted that the person who brought this matter up does not have a problem with the
illegal structure on his property, but with him personally. Mr. Eckhardt asked for the
Commission to uphold the promise made years ago.
Commissioner Flury requested the Commission Minutes from 2002 be retrieved to see what the
Commission said at the time. She noted the matter was resolved then and there should be
records to show that.
City Attorney Ansbro advised that in order to be grandfathered in, the structure should have been
approved by a former law. He noted Mr. Eckhardt could apply for a variance and ultimately get
relief from the Commission.
Commissioner Flury pointed out there were a lot of illegal structures that were grandfathered in
during the Annexation process.
Mr. Eckhardt responded for Commissioner Anton that the structure has been there for 36 years,
survived several hurricanes and nobody has ever come to inspect it. He noted Code Compliance
gave him a deadline of September 13 to resolve the problem.
City Manager Pato noted he would visit the property with Code Officers and the Building
Official and report back to the City Attorney and the Commission.
Commissioner Anton acknowledged a lot of promises were made during the Annexation, and we
need to abide by them.
Commissioner Bertino suggested we agenda this issue for the next Commission meeting and
gather as much information as possible for the meeting.
Mr. Eckhardt noted that it is his understanding that there were "summary agreements" signed by
the owners in the Edgewater area referring to"all illegal structures being forgiven".
George Jason, 4549 SW 37`h Avenue, on behalf of Dania Beach Neighborhoods United
Association, asked the City to be a partner in bringing the League of Hard of Hearing Program to

Tuesday, September 9,2008—7:00 p.m.
offer free hearing impaired phone service and related equipment to those City residents who
qualify. He hoped the City would get involved in such a beneficial program.
Brian Barrett, 108 SE 3`d Avenue, addressed the street closure on Stirling Road. He noted he
attended some of the CRA community meetings and most of the neighbors in attendance
opposed the closure. Mr. Barrett also mentioned that the City should have taken into
consideration the drainage problems on SE 1" Street before installing speed bumps. He asked
the process on street closures be re-visited because the neighborhood was not properly notified of
the closure.
Ralph Eddy, 150 SE 3`d Avenue, noted he turned in a petition several years ago for a street
closure and nothing happened. He advised that when Boyd Gaming bought Dania Jai Alai,
Kimley-Horn and Associates had meetings at City Hall to discuss what would happen in the
southeast area. A committee of 15 people was formed to continue to meet with Kimley-Horn
and give input. Mr. Eddy further stated that the City approved the Kimley- Horn project and it is
almost complete. He commented he is very pleased with this project.
Jeff Guzowski, 238 SE 2"d Street, commented his street is not a through street for the businesses
on Dania Beach Boulevard. He advised he was notified of the meetings regarding the street
closure and attended all of them.
Elizabeth Smith, 215 SE ls`Terrace, noted she also attended all the Boyd Gaming meetings. She
said she was not aware that Stirling Road would be closed. She stated that the road closure is not
working and they have to use SE 1 s` Street to get to their house. Ms. Smith was concerned as to
how she would get to her house if the streets flood.
Commissioner Anton acknowledged that this process began before Boyd Gaming and there was
overwhelmingly support for the closure of SE 2"d Street at the time. He asked City Manager
Pato for a report on the traffic counts in the area. Commissioner Anton advised this was done as
a temporary measure to see if it would work. He asked BSO Chief Peterson to do some selective
enforcement in the area, to make sure people are abiding by the law. Commissioner Anton
finally noted that he is not opposed to having another workshop, but does not support taking
down the closure at this time.
Commissioner Flury echoed Commissioner Anton's comments. She noted that we must give this
temporary measure some time. We also need to get the appropriate data from the traffic study to
compare before and after. Commissioner Flury agreed that we have to workshop this matter with
the entire community.
Mayor Jones noted this is not etched in stone and the Commission listens to the citizens and their
concerns. He thought we should let the majority rule if it is beneficial to most of the community.
Bob Bartelmes, 214 SW 2"d Terrace, said he may want a speed bump instead of a speed hump on
his street.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, September 9,2008—7:00 p.m.
Rose Lizana, 214 SE 2nd Street, noted the Dania Press did notice and notify the residents in the
City of the street closure meetings. She agreed that we had to give the street closure some time
before taking further action. Ms. Lizana addressed a tragedy that occurred in St. Louis Missouri,
her hometown. She noted that in the small town of Kirkwood, a disgruntled resident came to the
Commission meeting and shot and killed two police officers, two commissioners, and the public
services director; the Mayor was also shot in the head and died over the weekend. Ms. Lizana
suggested that the City consider installing metal detectors to avoid any possibility of this type of
tragic incident.
Fay Bartelmes, 214 SW 2"d Terrace, noted she is embarrassed that Mr. Eckhardt is still having
problems from when his property was annexed into the City. She further commented on the
speeding on her street, and drug dealers on 2 d Terrace. Ms. Bartelmes asked for a speed bump
to slow down traffic.
Clare Vickery, Grace's Cafe and Gallery, 49 N. Federal Highway, turned over her time to
Elizabeth Wentworth and Gwen Watson who are very supportive of the Art and Antique
Festival.
Elizabeth Wentworth, 600 W. Las Olas Boulevard, urged the Commission to support the Dania
Beach Art and Antique Festival to enhance the City's sense of place and economic development.
Gwen Watson, Watson and Associates, 512 NE P Avenue, noted she would like to bring the
Dania Beach Art and Antique festival to another level of corporate sponsorship. She noted there
are grants that can be brought to the City for the Festival. Ms. Watson urged the Commission to
support the Festival so it becomes an economic engine for the City of Dania Beach.
Vice-Mayor Castro asked Ms. Vickery if she had prepared a budget for the upcoming Festival.
Ms. Vickery said the budget has been prepared and turned into the City. She further noted that
they are working with City staff as of October 1" to utilize the available funds for the show next
year.
City Manager Pato noted he is excited about the Festival. He further commented that it was too
early to bring anything to the Commission.
7. Consent Agenda
