Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director, Growth Management Department, addressed the Board and gave an extensive summary and description of the requests. He commented the surrounding properties would involve the current zoning designation, comprehensive plan designation, and existing land use. He added that certain criteria must be evaluated relative to the requested zoning change. He further explained the individual criteria on lot coverage, pervious area, parking, building height, tree preservation/relocation, new landscaping, building setbacks, building elevations, school impact analysis, and Traffic Analysis. He also mentioned that staff had requested the city traffic engineering consultant (Tinter and Associates)to review the traffic impact associated with the project. Mr. Leeds then read to the Board the following statement of the traffic impact assessment responded by Tinter and Associates: 1) The existing R-1 C zoning (44 single family homes) will generate 488 daily vehicle trips while the development as proposed (44 town homes and 16 zero lot line homes) will generate 516 daily trips; and increase of 6%. 2) While the increase in daily trips (6%) is not significant, the traffic impact on SW 29th Terrace is expected to exceed 5% of that roadway's capacity. Also, both SW 29th Terrace and SW 45th Street are of substandard width. 3) To address the additional impact on SW 29th Terrace: a) SW 45th Street (between SW 291h Terrace and SW 281h Terrace) should be widened to 24 feet. b) SW 29th Terrace should be widened to 24 feet. Planning and Zoning Advisory Board MINUTES 2 January 22, 2001 Tinter and Associates alsooported that if right-of-way limitations0clude the ability to widen SW 29Th Terrace, traffic calming (as discussed in the attached report) should be utilized to restrict or minimize the utilization of SW 29th Terrace. The following suggestions made by Tinter and Associates for alternatives to traffic calming are: 1. widening of SW 29th Terrace to allow 2-way traffic, 2. to construct a diagonal traffic diverter to and from SW 45th St, precluding access between the site and SW 291h Terrace, and 3. an entrance barrier at the south exit of SW 29th Terrace at its intersection with SW 45th St. Mr. Leeds gave summary of his recommendation to zoning change, site plan, preliminary plat and variance. He recommended approval subject to conditions listed on staffs report. Applicant has volunteered to dedicate 0.24 acres on the west side of his property adjacent to Griffin Marine Park which would leave a balance of 0.19 acres. Staff recommended that the applicant pay a local park impact fee for the remaining 0.19 acre park dedication. Staff recommended approval subject to assessment of local park prior to city commission approval and payment of approved local park impact fee prior to issuance of a building permit. Michael Shiff of the Shiff Group, applicant representing Cape Fear property addressed the Board with a summary of his proposed project and commented on staff's report and answered questions from the Board. He also presented and discusses issue of architectural drawing. He informed the Board that his project will be an upscale development with about 12 boat slips along the Dania Cut-Off Canal and 37 will be dock at the marina. There will be no commercial use, resale, rent, or partying by their boat slip. It will be controlled by homeowners' association. There will be no live aboard or dumping facility, strictly for residents who want to park their boat at the vicinity that is half a block from their home. The marina will be provided with utilities. A recreation facility with a small pool area will be located at the middle of the property for the community. Mr. Shiff presented proposed building elevation with a Mediterranean theme and similar samples on some of his accomplishment at Las Olas location in Fort Lauderdale. John Etling voiced concerns on garages door size, trash containers situation and mailboxes location. Michael Shiff responded that there will be sufficient room for washer/dryer as well as trash container. He has no answer yet to location of mailboxes. Dr. Paul Fetscher inquired the assigning of boat slip. Michael Shiff replied that they have not make a decision yet, it would be either for sale to residents or given to the homeowner association for exclusive use because it will not be deeded. Chairman John Etling opened the item for public comment. Howard Perdue of 4536 SW 291h Terrace spoke in opposition to the townhouses. Steve Easton of 4600 SW 291h Terrace, spoke of concerns regarding flooding issue at SW 29th Terrace. Planning and Zoning Advisory Board MINUTES 3 January 22, 200? Dee Nance of 4575 SW 20errace, questioned about septic tanOnd whether the city would have to install sewer. Mr. Leeds responded that the developer would have to meet with the Public Works/Utilities Director on this issue. Faye Barthlemes of 214 SW 2"d Terrace, spoke in response to Ms. Nance's question. From her past experience, she said that everyone has to pay for installation of sewer connection regardless of any circumstances. Michael Shiff assured there is sewer on SW 45th St. and is adequate to serve the project and will not be necessary to install sewer on SW 29th Terrace. Vance Jessie of 4575 SW 29th Terrace questioned consideration of an alternative entrance instead of via SW 29th Terrace. John Etling mentioned about the proposal made by the Traffic Engineer suggesting cutting off diagonally at the intersection of SW 291h Terrace and SW 45th St. at the entry feature. It would mean that residents has to go across SW 45th Street to SW 28th Terrace, down to SW 46th Street exist down to SW 28th Avenue that would eliminate any traffic movement on SW 29th Terrace. Suggestions were made to punch through SW 45th Street to SW 30th Ave or make a road adjacent to SW 45th Street punching through the Marina to SW 301h Ave. Mr. Leeds advised Mr. Shiff to discuss with Public Works/Utilities Director, Michael Sheridan on traffic issue. He also mentioned that Mr. Sheridan will review traffic alternative with Broward County Engineer. Harry Hill of 2990 SW 45th St, spoke in doubt how one could enter SW 30th Ave as the street is busy bumper to bumper traffic at both ways during rush hours and his property runs 7 feet to the curb of Griffin Marine Park. Because of these congestion the Griffin Marine Park has made an opening and allowing public the use of 21 feet easement driving through it. Howard Perdue spoke again, mentioning that his house is at the south-east corner and according to the elevation plan shown, it would seem to be a hassle for him to get to his backyard garage by going round the block to Griffin Road and then around back to his garage. Maryann Swinford of 2838 SW 45th St. questioned if the land was sold or pending and why is there more development on the west and not on the east of Dania. Mr. Leeds answered that there has been several proposed condominiums and commercial development on the north and east of Sheridan Street that are already approved by the commission. Proposals also has been made to the central business district land use plan amendment to increase density in the downtown area to create more mid-rise housing to support commercial development and revitalize downtown. Also, inquires from commercial developer for high density requests to area by the corner of Gulfstream Road and surrounding nearby Dania Beach Boulevard area. The city is obliged to respond to market demand for housing changes. Scott Swinford of 2838 SW 45th Street, requested to look at the site plan.
