PROPERTY INFORMATION: EXISTING ZONING: Industrial, Research, Office, Marine - Airport Approach (IROM-AA) LAND USE DESIGNATION: Industrial OVERLAY DISTRICTS: Westside Master Plan Study Area - Sub Area 3 Marine Mile This property is located west of the airport and has an existing building that the applicant will utilize.

Property at the south east corner of SW 36 Street and SW 26 Terrace, as well as the property to the north is owned by Broward County and is known as Plat 7. On November 23, 2010, the City Commission approved the creation of IROM-AA zoning district. This district was created to allow industrial properties located west of the airport to have outdoor storage, provided adequate landscape buffering is provided to screen the storage from public view, including the following: • Ten (10) foot wide landscape buffer; Five (5) foot high meandering or winding berm along the front property line; • Three(3)foot high meandering or winding berm on the side and rear property lines; • The berm shall have a continuous hedge screen with a minimum height of three (3) feet on top of the berm; and • Trees planted every 40 linear feet. The applicant is providing: • New landscaping in and around the parking located in front of the building along SW 36 Street; • Retaining the chain link fence that encloses the outdoor storage area; • A portion of the fence along the south and west has metal slats that provide a visual barrier will be retained; • Removal of an old concrete drive adjacent to SW 36 Street and replace with sod; • A 14' interior buffer along the south property, adjacent to fuel pumps; • An approximately 13' swale along SW 26 Terrace exists and will remain; • A 10' interior buffer along north property line in the north east corner of the property; Storage of landscape materials in pots (container storage) along north property line to serve as storage for the applicant and a landscape buffer to the property owner to the north; • 5' landscape buffer provided at interior edge of driveway pavement to fence line in south east comer of property.

If the expansion is greater than 1,000 square feet but less than 20,000 square feet then the site plan would be presented to the Planning and Zoning Board for approval.

We have reached a point in our negotiations with the Owner/Landlord where there is a very high likelihood a lease agreement will be signed within the next 30 days. We are excited about the Dania Beach facility - our plan is to close the current facilities in Hollywood and Boca Raton and consolidate the operations to Dania Beach during the 1st quarter of 2012. We employ more than 370 employees. 200 employees commute directly from their homes to customer sites/locations around the tri-county area daily and approximately 170 employees will work out of the Dania Beach facility every day. 145 arriving and traveling to and from various commercial sites/locations in the local area and the remaining 25 will be working daily in the office, shop and yard. A significant amount of rehabilitation work is required to bring the building and property in to compliance with current Building/Life Safety code as well as make the office areas, shop and yard compliant and suitable for commercial landscape business operations. The initial budget to do this rehabilitation is in excess of $220,000 and we plan to spend an additional $50,000 to $100,000 over the next 12 to 18 months to expand offices and add a training/conference room. Our Architect and General Contractor are working in close concert with the appropriate Dania Beach departments to make all this happen. 2200 N.30th Road Hollywood, FL 33021 P:877-LUKES NOW P:954-431-1 Ill F:954-433-1111 •www.LukesSawgrass.com As part of all good business development activities, we need to control our costs and operate within a reasonable budget and make sure the economics of a project make sense. We need to spend our resources wisely and add the greatest value we can to this venture. This is why we are turning to the Commissioners of City of Dania Beach and asking for your approval on the attached Variance Request. We respectfully request the City of Dania Beach grant Lukes-Sawgrass Landscape a variance to reduce the Perimeter Screening/Buffering requirement. With the exception of the front of the facility, there is a substantial amount of natural landscape buffering material on the East, North and West sides of the property. In addition to the abundant natural screening that currently exists, the property is completely fenced by with 8' high fencing with the exception of approximately 150' of b' chain link fencing on the front left side of the property. An 8' stockade fence runs along the entire length of the West side of the property and an 8' high chain link fence surrounds the remaining sides. The chain link fence on the South (front) and East side of the property has vertical privacy slats that provide additional screening. Please see the attached landscape site plan and photographs. The South (front) portion of the property will be screened and buffered in accordance with City requirements as depicted on the attached landscape plan. Please consider: The current extensive natural screening Existing stockade fence and chain link fence with privacy slats Lukes-Sawgrass Landscape will fill gaps as required Additional cost impact to comply - $35,000 +/- Beautification of the South (front) elevation and Building (paint/signage) Location, neighbors and flight path Extensive facility and yard rehab we are undertaking on this project Economic impact of our business/employees to the area Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to your favorable review.
