1 . Presentation by Hollywood, Inc . concerning Griffin Rd . Extension .
Representatives of Hollywood, Inc . described use of Port property
owned by Hollywood , Inc . immediately to the East of Dania and
potential road configuration of Griffin Road Extension, presenting
a proposal to fund the design, permitting costs, and actual
construction of loth Street , asking that the City of Dania set up
a special assessment district, assess the affected property
owners, proceed with the project with Hollywood, Inc . bankrolling
it and then forward the special assessment payments as collected
to Hollywood , Inc .
Methods of assessment were discussed . City Attorney Adler
explained that the engineers would estimate the cost , then present
the program, including the estimated cost . Then, after holding a
public hearing, a resolution of necessity is adopted , the contract
is let and , in the meantime, a special assessment fund is
established to pay the contractor . After the contract is let and
the job is completed, the cost of the road is apportioned to the
property owners, either by acreage or by front footage . He
mentioned that the City would most likely have to absorb about 30%
of the assessment .
,i
During discussion, City Manager Jewell stated that the developers
of the affected Dania properties that he has been able to contact
? have all responded favorably to the special assessment plan in
lieu of building the road themselves . It was also pointed out i
that, since access to those properties that are in Dania depends
upon this road , the City will also benefit from a higher tax roll .
Mayor Bertino asked about the land which is now under condemnation
regarding increased value because of the road being put in and was
told that since it is on the trafficways plan , from the standpoint
of consideration of condemnation it is considered as a road
whether it is there now or later, so that the value of that parcel
is considered as having that access . The Mayor requested a
written legal opinion to that effect .
City Engineer, John Calvin, was instructed to work up estimated
figures planning a four-lane divided road with landscaping and
waterinn cvctom .
2 . Discussion concerning alternatives for future Well Fields .
The merits of several alternate routes toward combatting the
impending salt-water intrusion problem were considered, including i
the possibility of Dania sinking its own wells further West ;
entering into an interlocal agreement with other South Broward
Cities ; or joining the County regional water system, utilizing the
County Commission ' s willingness to consider compensation of
approximately $250, 000 which is the estimated cost to Broward
County for the relocation of Golden Petroleum, currently located
adjacent to Dania wells .
