Reports and Discussion 4.1 Derelict Vessel Report Deputy Jason Riddle reported that the State Grant from the Clean Water Act to move and dispose of derelict vessels is now under contract for removal. He noted that he is also trying to find the last registered owner of several derelict barges that are located in the estuary on the south side upon entering the Dania Cut-Off Canal from the Intracoastal side. These barges can still be used and are thought to belong to a company that operates out of Dania. 4.2 Marina Update—Captain Jay Jackson Captain Jay Jackson, Dockmaster,reported: 1) the Marina purchased a Honda Portable Generator with a 2,000 gallon per hour Sump Pump; 2) City Officials executed the transfer of the FAU i almost 100% full and will be Lease on September 5 2008• and 3 Fixed Dockage s Marina p ) g 100% full by the end of the month. Chairman Taylor read a memo from Frank Herzhold, Director of Marine Industries, regarding the FIND Derelict Vessels Program. He thought this funding may be available for the City of Dania Beach. Chairman Taylor provided the memo to Deputy Riddle. 5. Old Business Chairman Taylor reported on the Punk Rocks located under the bridge by 595. He said he and Mike Grady went before the County Board but there was not much interest. He then contacted Frank Herzhold and told him the problem and he indicated that perhaps they could assist with some funding. He noted the state and county have jurisdiction and perhaps a letter from the City, or Marine Advisory Board, be sent to the County, attention John Fiore, requesting they look into the matter. 6. New Business Chairman Taylor noted that Hollywood would begin renting non-motorized sailboat spots on the beach on a trial basis. The City of Ft. Lauderdale also allows this. He thought Dania Beach might consider this for the north end of the beach. Chairman Taylor suggested a Life Guard attend the next meeting to discuss the proposal of boat storage for the beach. Gary Rowe suggested the Board study the area to determine the feasibility of the boat turnaround area and trailer parking before bringing this to the City Commission for action. 7. Board Member Comments The Board discussed barges and derelict vessels that are anchored in Hollywood and Broward County waterways. The Board concurred that this should be brought to the attention of DNR. 8.

NEW BUSINESS 6.3 Proposed ordinance changing the FEMA floodplain regulations for Marine uses Board Members — If you are unable to attend please call the City Clerk's Office at (954) 924-6800, extension 3622 CITY OF DANIA BEACH MEMORANDUM TO: Marine Advisory Board Members FROM: Thomas J. Ansbro, City Attorney DATE: September 30, 2008 RE: Proposed Change to City Ordinance Entitled "Flood Damage Prevention"; New Regulations for "Marinas" In April, 2005, the City s "Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Chapter 12 of the City Code of Ordinances) was amended and updated in a number of respects to comply with suggestions made by FEMA representatives. One of the principal changes had to do with raising the "lowest floor" requirement (this includes the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area for a building, even a basement of a building, with certain exceptions, such as garages and storage areas). At FEMA's suggestion, the City raised the requirement so that a new or substantially improved building would have to be constructed with the lowest floor at least one foot higher than what the Flood Insurance Rate Map for a particular area would require (usually between four feet and seven feet above mean sea level). City staff, including Mayor Albert Jones and City Commissioner Bob Anton, met with FEMA representatives last Friday, September 26, 2008. It was discovered that marinas need not be subject to the "FEMA plus one foot" requirement, if the City chose to amend its flood ordinances. Since marinas are expected to undergo renovations, including the Banyan Bay Marina, the City intends to amend the ordinance, to provide a requirement that either allows for an elevation to meet only the maximum FEMA requirement, or "FEMA plus one inch", possibly. Since a definition has to be created for a"marina", I drafted a definition to read as follows: "Marina" means a facility with access to navigable waters that provides moorings or places for storage of boats and may include associated uses such as repair and service facilities, offices, retail sale of supplies, equipment and sundries and restaurants. A marina may be a principal use of the site upon which it is located or it may be an accessory use to a principal residential use. The definition is based in part on a definitions of marinas in Webster's Dictionary and dictionaries used by planners. I expanded it to identify some, but not all, "related uses". Marina Advisory Board Members September 30, 2007 Page 2 Comments and suggestions of the Board are welcome.
