Minutes of Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,December 13,2016—7:00 p.m. Responding to Vice-Mayor Harris, Marc LaFerrier, Director of Community Development, noted this variance would allow those who have an existing structure that was identified in the engineer's report to be approved for zoning. They would still need to get building permits to ensure that the structure is safe and sound; however, Code Enforcement is not allowed to go into backyards or peer over fences so an investigation would come about as a result of a complaint. We intend to work carefully with the homeowners to make sure the process runs smoothly. The second step is to rewrite the code for townhouse developments to allow for accessory structures in the backyard. Commissioner Salvino felt it is likely none of the existing structures would meet today's building codes and they would have to be torn down and rebuilt. Secondly, his understanding is that the Director of Community Development has the power to allow a structure to be built if the proper permits were pulled; this should also apply to these existing structures. Requiring permits be pulled for existing structures will upset the homeowners. Community Development Director LaFerrier noted that some of the existing structures will be able to pass today's standards and some will be able to make minor modifications. This has to be worked through on a case by case basis; staff deals with issues like this regularly and takes care to help citizens go through the process. Zoning regulations and variances are of a local control and are things we can help with. The building codes are State regulations and we are an agent of the State; we cannot change those regulations. Commissioner Brandimarte noted this is not a new problem and spoke of what Meadowbrook residents went through. Community Development Director LaFerrier reiterated this came about because of a state requirement that when a building gets to a certain age, a report from an engineer is required that certifies that the building is safe. Mayor James opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, she closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Salvino motioned to adopt Resolution #2016-157; seconded by Vice-Mayor Harris. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Harris Yes Commissioner Grace Yes Mayor James Yes Commissioner Salvino Yes 9.4 RESOLUTION#2016-168 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE"DANIA HOMES"PLAT(PL-90-16)SUBMITTED BY PULICE LAND SURVEYORS,INC.,ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, DANIA HOMES, LLC, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4485 SOUTHWEST 25TH TERRACE IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,FLORIDA,AS LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT"A'; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,December 13,2016—7:00 p.m. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2016-168. Corinne Lajoie, Principal City Planner, described the plat request. Mayor James asked if the plat includes widening of the street, and Principal City Planner Lajoie answered in the affirmative.

Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, she closed the Public Hearing. Vice-Mayor Harris motioned to adopt Resolution #2016-168; seconded by Commissioner Salvino.

MEMORANDUM DATE: December 12, 2016 TO: Robert Baldwin, City Manager FROM: Marc LaFerrier, AICP, Director of Community Develop SUBJECT: Drainage Concerns at 401 E Sheridan Street The above-mentioned site was developed in 1991 and has been the subject of isolated and limited on-site drainage concerns in the past. On-site flooding has been intermittent and isolated to the southeast parking area adjacent to the store fronts and restaurants. The rehabilitation of the former Publix store for the new Neighborhood Walmart store included a new drainage system for the Walmart parking area with connections to the existing storm-water infrastructure for the remainder of the site including aforementioned parking area as well as the access driveway on the west side of the site. The applicable site development and building codes require the property owners retain all rainwater on- site with approved methods and infrastructure. The recent citizen's complaint is regarding drainage problems at the southeastern parking area and the western access driveway, however the drainage concerns submitted do not document frequency or duration of the flooding. The frequency and duration of flooding are critical factors in determining adequate drainage for a site. The subject property was previously issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) on December 4, 2015 for inadequate maintenance and repair of the storm-water infrastructure. Subsequently, the Engineer of Record for the Walmart project included the existing drainage infrastructure in their site improvement plans for the Walmart project. Storm water plans are approved by Broward County and also reviewed and permitted by the City. The approved drainage calculation and plans designed by the Engineer of Record for Walmart indicated adequate drainage for the entire site. The NOV was closed September 19, 2016 with approval of the final site inspection for the Walmart project. At this time, staff will monitor the site for post-storm conditions to observe any flooding issues. Furthermore, staff will issue a new NOV specifically for the maintenance and repair of the existing drainage infrastructure for southeastern shops and restaurants and the western access driveway. Further enforcement action may result in additional drainage infrastructure repairs and/or improvements.
