Will Allen, Growth Management Director described the request for preliminary plat
approval to the board. Mr. Allen described the location of the property as being west of
the "Leto Park" plat, which is a vacant parcel zoned M-1 and was recently the location
of a Texaco gas station that was demolished by D.O.T.. The site currently has a single
family dwelling on it, is zoned M-1 and has a commercial land use. The intent is to
utilize this property for office use. Mr. Allen stated that this commercial use will need
City and County review because the note on the plat indicates that a commercial use
would need to be reviewed by the County. Mr. Allen further stated that the current right-
of-way is adequate and that the access is at the east property line with a 50' wide
opening allowing right turns only.
Mr. Allen ended his summation stating that staff recommends approval of this plat
request as it complies with all requirements of the city code; the request with the plat
restriction for the 10,000 sq. ft. of office is consistent with the land use plan and zoning
code and is also consistent with the right of way needs for Stirling Rd. and the access is
subject to FDOT approval prior to the recording of the final plat. Questions arose from
the board concerning the utility easement continuing across the property and how this
property would configure with the Stirling Rd. expansion.
At this time this item was opened for public comment. Hearing no one and seeing no
one, the public hearing was closed. Motion made by Victor Lohmann to approve the
Plat of "Leto Oaks", providing that the addition of utility easements are shown at the
south end of the property, seconded by June Silvernale. Motion passed on the

site, along with slides. Chairperson Daise brought the item back to the board for
comment. The board brought up concerns about advertising, specifically if"Dania" is to
be included in the advertisements for the project. It was felt that in the past Dania has
been excluded from advertisements of large developments, and that from a tourism and
growth standpoint, it was felt that this will put Dania on the map. Artier further
discussion, Will Allen, Growth Management Director, addressed the board regarding
the proposed site plan request. Mr. Allen described the "Bass Pro Shop$ Outdoor
World" project as being a 150,000 sq. ft. commercial facility; the International Game

The site has an Industrial land use designation and a zoning of M-4, Limited Heavy
Industrial. Mr. Allen confirmed that the proposed uses are consistent with those
designations. Mr. Allen confirmed that the City Commission authorized the use of the
twenty percent (20%) flexibility rule at their October 10, 1995 meeting to allow
commercial use on this site designated for industrial use. Mr. Allen further stated that
the site plan is consistent with the plat based on the delegation request. He also
confirmed that the site plan conforms to all setback and bulk requirements of the zoning
district. This would include lot size, setbacks, building height, lot coverage, etc. The
proposed site plan also conforms to all landscaping, parking and loading dock
requirements. The utilities plan has been reviewed and approved by the Utilities
Department and the Fire Department. It was noted that water is supplied by the City of
Dania and some existing lines are being abandoned and new lines are being installed
to provide a looped system around both buildings.
Mr. Allen stated that an agreement will need to be reached with Broward County and
the City of Hollywood to accept the sewage from this development.
Access to the site is primarily from a new street built from Anglers Avenue across
Tigertail Lake to an expanded railroad crossing at Griffin Road. This street will be four
lanes at Anglers Avenue narrowing to two lanes past the entrance to the Tri-Rail
station. This street will be constructed using Broward County funds. This arrangement
needs to be approved in a tri-party agreement between Broward County, Bass Pro, and
the City of Dania..
Mr. Allen concluded his summation stating that this project will be a great example of
intergovernmental cooperation, not only involving the City of Dania, but Broward
County, Florida Department of Transportation, Tri-Rail, and Broward Community
College.
