Leigh Kerr, Planning Consultant addressed the board with a brief description of the
proposed site plan for a Shell Gas Station/Car Wash/Convenience store and
Wendy's fast food restaurant. Leigh described the property as being located west
of 1-95 on Stirling Rd. and west of SW 19th Ct.; the parcel is situated on the plat
known as "Leto Park". He described the access to the site as being off of 19th Ct.,
as well as a shared access off of Stirling Rd.. Leigh stated that the latter is
contingent upon approval by FDOT, and the granting of certain easements. The
land use designation for this parcel is Commercial on the comprehensive plan.
Leigh stated that this area was annexed by the City so the zoning is Broward
County's M-1, which allows for these types of uses.
Leigh stated for the board, the comments, which should be addressed prior to a
recommendation for site plan approval. Leigh stated that the site plan is subject to
the delegation request approval for sharing the access for the southwest corner of
the property. He also stated that the petitioner must complete the sign details for
the project prior to building permit. In response to notation #2 in his comments,
Leigh submitted site data table information provided by the petitioner this evening.
The table breaks out the building types and parking requirements for the
properties. Leigh stated that a tree mitigation report was submitted by the
landscape architect, and that staff would like to see this report reviewed by the
City's landscape consultant. He also stated that the petitioner's landscape
architect is available to speak on the landscaping comments stated in his memo.
Leigh stated that in response to note #1 referenced in the Engineering/Fire
comments, the petitioner is available to comment on the recycled water process at
the car wash facility. The petitioner has also indicated that they will comply with
the 50' radius around the perimeter of the site, and that all DNRP permits will be
obtained for surface water management and drainage.
At this time, Leigh Kerr, Planning Consultant, introduced Terry Virta, the City's new
Growth Management Director, to the board. The board welcomed Terry to the
staff and welcomed all comments he had pertaining to the petition at hand. Terry
Virta was sworn in and addressed the board, stating that he would like to save his
comments until after the presentation by the petitioner.
William Duffy, engineer for the project, was sworn in and addressed the board.
Mr. Duffy gave a brief summation of the project, and went over the items noted on
the comment sheet prepared by Leigh Kerr. Mr. Duffy stated that they have
negotiated and applied for permits and are awaiting an agreement from FDOT to
allow a joint access easement, he will then apply to the County to have the non-
vehicular access easement removed and FDOT will incorporate the construction in
their road widening. The petitioner will be responsible for constructing 19th Ct. to
the east of the site, as well as having contracted, paid for and installed all
necessary utility lines for water and sewer. He went on to explain the car wash

plan is complete and has been forwarded to DNRP, Surface Water Management.
Mr. Duffy then proceeded to answer questions from the board, regarding the
property to the west, the access agreement and utilities. Mr. Duffy introduced
Michael Oliver, Landscape Architect for the Shell/Wendy's site. Mr. Oliver was
sworn in and addressed the board with a presentation and comments pertaining to
his tree survey report, and irrigation plan. Mr. Oliver was concerned that the 100%
overlap requirement was in error and explained his reasons. Discussion entailed
with the board as to whether this was excessive or not. Mr. Oliver concurred that
there was 100% coverage with 50% overlap. Mr. Oliver discussed the requirement
that indicates the interior landscaping for the vehicular use area total 20% of the
vehicular use area; Mr. Oliver indicated that by lowering the buffer from 10' to the
5' required, he can meet this requirement. Mr. Oliver then went into discussion
with the board on the tree mitigation report. Mr. Oliver also discussed the trees
that are proposed to be moved or removed. The board questioned some of the
terminology used for the trees that were slated to be removed and the reason for
removal being interference with the buildings in the site plan. Mr. Oliver also
explained to the board the cost involved in transplanting these trees. Hearing no
further questions from the board to the petitioner, the chairman brought the item
back to staff for comment. Terry Virta, Growth Management Director, addressed
the board with his concerns as to the trees on the site. He stated that there are
some discrepancies in the sizes of the trees listed on the survey, and that he
would like to recommend that we contact our landscape architect to review the
site. After further discussion by the board, a motion was made by Josh Dresser to
defer this item until the August 20" meeting so that the City can contact an
independent landscape architect check to the trees on the site, seconded by
Jason Dubow. Motion passed on the following roll call:
Josh Dresser - yes Jason Dubow - yes
Victor Lohmann - yes
5. Discussion on recommendation to the City Commission regarding incorporation of
lands in current City limits into existing City Ordinances and setting of time table
for same for future annexation parcels.
Chairman Lohmann described his concerns regarding the zoning codes being
different in 3 different parts of the City. Leigh described the two different versions
of the County Code as it pertains to the annexed area west of Ravenswood and
the newly annexed area to the east of the airport, and the parcel just west of the
Dania Water Plant (Boggs Parcel). Leigh stated that the current petitions being
presented to the City have been using the City's landscape code, which is stricter
than the County's, with no objections. Leigh stated that he had worked with a
former Dania Growth Management Director to update the DM zones and
incorporate them into Dania's code. Tim Ryan, Acting City Attorney, spoke to
previous annexation agreements and the existing zonings of annexed properties
being held so as the owners of these properties do not loose all of their property

rights. Terry Virta explained that it would make sense administratively to utilized
one code as opposed to 3 separate codes. It was decided that the board
recommend that staff prepare a recommendation to the City Manager to discuss
this item before the City Commission.
Leigh gave the board an update on the status of the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report submitted to DCA. After comments are received, the process of updating
