Mayor Falck requested that acceptance of the remittance be denied, with authorization to be given him for further investigation of this matter. He further stated that on July 17th a recommendation of necessary action was submitted to Council, on acceptance of this generous gift from the Amvets. But, he said, the entire concept of reporting has changed, whereby an annual report was filed covering the activities. The Department of Transportation, he noted, was presently involved, and many pages of reports are required to be filed daily, weekly and monthly, with a special agreement to be signed for such handling. lie also felt it would require the employ- ment of two extra people, in order to maintain this operation, and felt that the contribution should be graciously returned to the Amvets Post #2. The Mayor requested that he be authorized to come up with an alternate or better plan. V/M Disraelly said he was shocked at such a revelation by the Mayor, to which Mayor Falck stated that his memo revealed that a representa- tive attended the meeting which was held on Tuesday, July 21st, and was originally felt to be routine matters. But, he said, it did in- volve special reports, and the City was no longer permitted to use volunteer drivers, unless they have chauffeur licenses. Fie further added that an alternate proposal could be submitted for the September meeting, and anticipated that Council would support him for a service that is needed in the City. C/W Massaro MOVED that Mayor Falck be authorized to return the check, with thanks, and the item be tabled to the September 9 meeting, when other proposals will be presented, and V/M Disraelly SECONDED.

Finance Department - Personnel - Discussion and possible action to allow the City Manager to employ a temporary Accounting Clerk I for inventory purposes. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved to 9/30/81. The City Manager said her Administrative Report indicates that the initial stage of the physical inventory was completed, for City property. But, as a result of the review of current Auditor's General Regulations, it is noted that the requirements have changed, she said, and those items which must be included in the inventory, are those with a value of $50 and more, rather than $100 and more. She said those items have to be picked -up between the $50 and $100 amount, plus there is a require- ment that any bound volume, with a value of $25 or more, also be included. Mrs. Stuurmans requested to re-engage someone in the Accounting I posi- tion, for the balance of the fiscal year, to pick-up these items for the inventory. She further added this would be going back to the November 1, 1980 date, which is the period of time when the requirements changed by the Auditor General, which employment would be to September 30, 1981. Mayor Falck stated that C/PZ Kravitz has turned over the completed in- ventory to him, and felt this would give the City the opportunity to proceed with the establishment of the expanded self-insurance fund. He also stated that information would be available for Council's considera- tion, at their reconvened meeting in September, on the proposal.

RESOLUTION IJO.R- �,/�/ ,/ PASSED. RESOLUTION NO. R- g/- /,,,.Z PASSED. a) The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1900. Steve Wood, the Finance Director, informed Council that the project has been lengthy, for approximately one and a half years. lie noted that contracts have been submitted, which were prepared by the City Attorney,and the firms of Microdata and 1114S. Fie felt that execution of the contracts would permit the City to proceed in a development computer system, which would take it through the forthcoming years. In response to a question by C/W Massaro, it was stated by PZr.Wood that at the present time, and in cooperation with the computer, only the PSC program is being released. Fie further stated that the Utility West billing is also being done. Prior to this, he said, an outside service bureau was being paid $35,000.00 per year, but part of the Tape cost will be paid by the utility. From this period of time, he stated, #2 until the end of the contract with Burroughs, involves $800 per month. This will stop at the first of the year, and another contract would have to be re -executed, he indicated, if it is to be continued. Mr. Wood noted that the new system would permit payroll personnel and some personnel reporting. Ile indicated that at the present time, it takes an employee two weeks to prepare the payroll for 270 employees, which is due to the system being used, and their assistance could be productively used in other areas. Ile felt the institution of the new system would hopefully prevent the need for acquiring additional personnel. Another function of the system, he said, would be for general accounting, budgetary accounting, purchasing functions, on- line encumbering of funds, which will immediately determine the avail- ability of funds. The current machine, Per. Wood said, gives an ac- counting report at the end of the month, with all the information being developed manually, that is being typed off ledger cards. C/W Massaro said the purpose of the present machine was for permanent inventory, to which Mr. Wood responded that the computer is a magnetic ledger card machine. This machine, he said, requires a mag-stripe on the side of the ledger card, in order for information to be available to the machine. An inventory program could be developed, but each item would require its own ledger card, and would not be a cost ef- fective method. Mr. Wood stated that the new equipment is data based,and permits development of files that are used for a multitude of purposes, and would eliminate the ledger card system. He further stated that the new equipment could also be applied for a tickler system on the fee collection for developers agreements, to which C/W Massaro did not concur. C/M Zemel said that he studied the system with his basic layman's knowledge, and visited Coral Springs and Mr. Chorba; removing physical modules frori their machine to determine construction. The components he said, were of the highest caliber, but he was concerned with the small organization involved in the software provision group. He requested information of Per. Kramer of Alexander Grant, for backup organizations for the software, and,also field service technician: groups who could service this machine. Ile advised Council that he is a graduate electronic engineer; designed computer modules, and was speaking with authority. The information, he said, that was received from Mr. Kramer and Mr. Chorba, of Coral Springs, has satis- fied him of the amount of backup groups in the area, or in Phila- delphia, as well as the backup systems in other municipalities. The inventory, he said, could be perfect with the proper components, modules and software, in order to add or delete; also, monitoring -7- 7/22/81 mr/ the expiration of a bond, or time period for use of a model sales temporary facility. C/M Zemel said there is also reverse video use, which indicates repetition of particular verbiage. C/M Kravitz inquired of Mr. Wood as to this not supplementing the water utility billing, to which the Finance Director responded that it would be brought in on a gradual process, in order to avoid delay in receipt of utility bills. Ile further responded that the process would be in effect from four to six months, after delivery; also, after testing the utility package. C/M Kravitz also asked if the system was necessary, and whether the City could manage with the present setup, to which Mr. Wood stated they could, but the current piece of equipment would mechanically break down; with no backup available. Mr. Wood indicated that the present system will not process the utility bills for Utility West, which would require continuation of leasing the Burroughs System, or buying another computer system, in December of 1981. Ile additionally stated that the current system leasing was approximately $2800 per month, and was inferior to the recommended equipment, but was basically leased for the FSC refunds. Mr. Wood responded to questions by C/M Kravitz, by stating that it would be cost effective and provide more efficiency to the City, to purchase this system. He would prefer such a system be purchased by borrowing the money, and buying it outright, and felt it was the best investment the City could make. C/P1 Zemel said that the Burroughs L-9000 is a magnetic striped system, which is impossible. IIe inquired whether the new computer system work would be paralleled for a period of time, to which Mr. Wood said the the utility billing would be, but not the financial system, because it would be easier to operate under the newer equipment, than the "L". Mr. Wood also stated they would parallel at a larger level, until the new equipment has been proven. In response to questions by V/11 Disraelly, the Finance Director stated that everything would be put on printed material, if the program calls for a daily or on an as -due basis. Mr. Wood proposed that the City borrow the money from a commercial bank, such as Century Bank, which had a 9.9% interest rate on Tuesday, July 21st. He further stated that the City has sufficient cash resources to purchase the equipment today, but it would be advisable to invest those monies in an 18% interest yielding fund. Gordon Kramer, of Alexander Grant, said the third party will install the software on a computer, at the Microdata office, and put in ter- minals at the City, on a temporary basis, in order for the people to learn how to use the system. The initial package being purchased from MMS, would be delivered and installed on the Microdata computer, with free use of two or three terminals, for a few months, until their machine is installed, to the Microdata Computer Center, in Miami. He further stated that the modems were approximately $500 each. Ile also said the modems were $35 per month rental for each terminal. Mr. I:ramer said the software vendor would commence the performance of their work, which involves the changes, in order to convert the soft- ware on the system. At the time the computer is physically installed at the City Hall, the software would be moved out of the Microdata computer center, and move it into the City's computer. Mayor Falck inquired of the Finance Director, as to not taking the route of new equipment, where the City would be by this time next year, and the year thereafter; relating to billing, payroll and in- ventory. Mr. Wood indicated they were experiencing difficulties with manual operations that presently exist, which were difficult to keep up- dated. Without a system, he said, things will get progressively worse with the deterioration of information, that is presently occur- ring. Continuing to rent the Burroughs system, he said, for the next five (5) years, would cost approximately $168,000, which would specifically do the utility billing; and, is more than the purchase of the new equipment and the various functions it involves. -8- 7/22/81 mr/ r r C/M Zemel said that many people have forgotten the expansion factors in this new equipment, with slots for cards, as an example. V/M Disraelly indicated that it was almost 11 months to the day, that discussion was started on computer bids, namely, September 19th, 1980; which process has been lengthy. C/M Rravitz inquired whether "time was of the essence", and did this equipment have to be accepted at this time, or would it hinder the City, if it were tabled to the September meeting. Mr. Wood advised that a letter was submitted from Microdata, with prices through this month, and was not aware whether it could be extended through September. Ile said the payroll has to continence at the start of the quarter, and was not advisable to change payroll systems in the middle of a quarter, because it has to be reported to the State and Federal Government.

Ile felt this was a worthwhile resolution, and MOVED for approval of Temp. Reso. #2009, and V/P1 Disraelly SECONDED, with the suggestion that copies be sent to the Postmaster General of the United States, and municipalities of Broward County. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 21. Beautification - Discussion and possible action to fully enforce the Beautification Ordinance. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: No action taken as to enforcement of the Ordinance. C/W Massaro indicated her concern on beautification within project development, with many instances of neglect and deterioration, and felt there was a need of enforcement. She said the people should be contacted, which would make them aware of this, but also felt an effort should be made to enforce the Beautification Ordinance, or eliminate it completely. Florence Bochenek, the Vice Chairman of the Beautification Committee, said this has been a concern of hers for a period of time. She also stated that landscaped plans were approved by this Committee, which were to be carried out, as approved, but was never certain as to the responsible person for such enforcement. She further said that many of the developed properties in the City look disgraceful, and again questioned who was responsible, and the manner for such en- forcement. Mrs. Bochenek requested direction. V/PZ Disraelly said that when he attends Beautification Committee meetings, it is frequently pointed out that various areas are in disrepair. He is cognizant of the situation that prevails, and upon tours of the City, he submits reports to the City Manager, as to ob- servations, which are followed through. The Vice Mayor said this past week, he indicated to the City Manager, that the sprinkler heads in the Publix Shopping Plaza have been destroyed, which resulted in grass that is dying, unkempt and has not been swept. He was in favor of a uniformed Code Enforcement Officer, but could only be handled by "observations", and reports submitted to the City Manager. C/M Zemel was also in favor of uniformed Code Enforcement Officers, -11- 7/22/81 mr/ and inquired about Lindsley Lumber, and the violations involved on their property.. Ile also discussed the dumping which has been occurring in residential areas, which are not visible from the road. C/W Massaro also indicated that some people do not bag the cut grass,_ but just dump it, and should be cited for such a violation. She also noted that Lindsley Lumber has an agreement, whereby they have certain rights about their sign, but was not aware of the beautification. She felt that the Code Enforcement Officer has not been enforcing beautifi- cation, because the daily work log does not indicate this. C/W Plassaro said it was the responsibility of the City Manager to follow through on reports; and inquired on her memo relating to the Family Plart. Mrs. Stuurmans said that a report was distributed by Chief McIntosh, which was copied to her. # Melanie Reynolds discussed the Duffs Restaurant parking, and the con- crete stops being turned in various directions, which should be anchored to which the City Attorney responded that prior to additional C.O.s, restriping was to have been done. le action o designate U.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, with Section 1 to indicate authorization to execute utility permits by the City Engineer. RESOLUTION NO.R- V— e,. PASSED. The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #2012, and involved a Utility Permit Application. V/M Disraelly said that in order to get the water from the new wells being constructed, which is in the rear of the 6000 Complex and St. Malachys, for the potable water to the utility, it would require execution by either the City Manager or the City Engineer. Mrs. Stuurmans said Section 1 should read, "the City Manager or his designee" which would be the City Engineer, or in his absence, she would sign it. She further stated it could be designated for the Consulting Engineer, in the absence of the City Engineer. V/M Disraelly inquired whether this pertained to the cut in the road for the 20 inch pipe, and establishing the fact that no lines are cut for the other utilities. The City Attorney concurred that Section 1 should indicate authorization and execution by the City engineer. V/M Disraelly indicated that Section 1, read as follows: "The City Engineer is hereby authorized to sign for the Florida DOT", and MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso. #2012, and C/W Massaro SECONDED.

First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 1st reading, with 2nd to be held on September 9, 1981. The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #894, and advised that this ordi- nance was requested by C/W Massaro in her memorandum of June 19th. He indicated the change involves "grandfathering in", as to certain nonconformities, if it is proven through a survey. But, if it not, then it would be necessary to come before the Board of Adjustment. C/W Massaro said the only requirement is that the ordinance exists on the books, but a survey has to be provided to prove the point. The City Attorney noted that some of the structures were erected after 1972, with the five (5) foot setback, and this ordinance is neces- sary at this time. C/W Massaro said it would not be necessary for presentation before the Board of Adjustment, if a survey is submitted showing that the nonconformity was there before 1972.

The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1967. C/M Zemel felt that everyone should have the opportunity to serve on the City Council, in the capacity of Vice Mayor, which is by appoint- ment of the members. Ile said it was a good training ground for those who are ambitious, and have the ability, also, aspiring to be the Mayor. C/M Zemel MOVED that Temp. Reso. #1967, pertaining to the Tenure of the Vice Mayor, be limited to two consecutive terms, be approved. C/W Massaro did not agree with this, because the Vice Mayor's position is very important, and not a training ground. She felt he has to be prepared to step into the shoes of the Mayor, if illness occurs, or he desires to vacate the office. Additionally, she said, the people who wrote and voted for the Charter, gave Council the prerogative, to enable them to make this choice. C/W Massaro stated that this was not a good ordinance, but felt the decision of Vice Mayor and his re- appointment should be left to the Council. C/M Kravitz felt that a specific term is indicated in the resolution, -13- 7/22/81 mr/ L L and Council would still have the prerogative to elect the Vice Mayor, but was not in conflict with the intent of the Charter. Fie then SECONDED the motion, for such adoption. Mayor Falck also felt that Council was aware of determining who was best suited to serve in the capacity of Vice Mayor, and did not object to the rotation. C/M Zemel said that previously there was an ordinance which placed the Vice Mayor into such a position, for the second highest amount of votes during an election.

Ile further stated that a proposal was made to resolve this matter in the amount of $3,000.00, with the new status, which immunity was granted by State Attorney's office to Mr. Yockey. He recommended settlement in the amount of $3,000.00. V/M Disraelly MOVED to accept the recommendation of Shailer & Purdy, for the sum of $3,000.00, to be paid to Officer Yockey, as suggested, and because of the conditions that prevailed at that time, for the funding to come from the Police Salaries Fund. C/W Massaro SECONDED. Mayor Falck felt the manner of handling this situation by the City Tape Attorney, has been very productive, and kept under control. #4 V/M Disraelly AMENDED HIS MOTION to include that the Settlement Stipula- tion, Case 80-3538, be signed in behalf of the City, to which C/TV Massaro concurred.

She felt it could be handled through the Public Informa- tion Committee or the news media, in order to give the innocent people some form of relief .. C/M Zemel concurred, because there were a small number of people making decisions for the Heathgate-Sunflower group, with complaints still coming in on drainage and flooding problems. Fie also felt that some form of informational publicity should be instituted, in order to resolve the problems, because the City is prepared to start the work. The City Manager said when the City Engineer prepares the documents on the new easements that will be required for the work, and has submitted a final report to Council, then it could be considered. 70.

This petition, he said, was denied, which followed the procedure of the Code; and was followed by a waiver, that was heard earlier this week. At that time, the Beautification Committee recom- mended approval by the City Council. This sign, he noted, was to be placed on the west wall, for visibility to the people in the parking lot, indicating the building.

Mr. Birken said that because there is cash -in --hand, he felt that Staff would not recommend cutting a check, and approval could be given. C/W Massaro said she would not object to an exchange for the Certificate, which is for a six-month period, to which the City Attorney suggested that the length of the bond be approximately equal to the construction period, as previously required. C/W Massaro recommended that the C.D. be for one year, or the cash bond remain, to which the City Attorney quoted "that he assigns his right to the C.D., together with all monies due, and to become due thereon, in- cluding principal and interest or dividends". Per. Birken further ad- vised that Council could approve the C.D. for a one-year period. C/W Massaro MOVED that Mr. Cassas be permitted to exchange the Cash Bond for a Certificate of Deposit, provided it is for one year, unless the job is completed before that time, and the City releases it, otherwise the Cash Bond will remain.

The original site plan, he said, does show a play area in the center of the site plan, with a fence, in the area marked "new addition". The Vice Mayor said the play area was pre- sumed to be large enough, but the County requested additional play area. He said there is a grassed area enclosure, to the north, which is 35 feet by 15 feet, which will provide sufficient area for the number of nursery children, which has to be erected prior to school opening in September. The Vice Mayor also said there is to be a four (4) foot high cyclone fence to be erected by Sears. V/M Disraelly MOVED that the revised site plan be approved, and C/W Massaro SECONDED.

Emergency Ordinance - Unpaved Public Right -of -Way Maintenance - Temp. Ord. #902 - Discussion and possible action to amend Ordinance 80-115 Tape whereby certain public property abutting paved public rights -of -way #5 may be maintained by the City. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 1st and ORDIIIAI4CE NO.O- $`/--�,?Z� PASSED. 2nd Reading, as corrected. C/M Zemel read Temp. Ord. #902, in its entirety, and indicated that he introduced the ordinance amendment. Ile also stated that various areas of the City have rights -of -way fronting on streets where Australian Pines were planted by developers; which purpose was for diminishing traffic noise and privacy to the rear of the affected homes. With the existing ordinance, he said,the homeowners were required to keep the swale areas manicured and in proper aesthetic condition. C/M Zemel said that many of these homeowners are elderly, and cannot afford the price of commercial lawncutting, or pulling the lawnmowers across the front to the rear of their homes, where the swales exist. He then MOVED to adopt Temp. Ord. #902, an Emergency Ordinance, amending Ordinance 80-115, on first reading, and V/M Disraelly SECONDED, because he was also concerned with this problem, in certain areas of the City. But, he felt that specific areas should be defined. C/W Massaro felt this subject has been discussed many times, as relates to swales, which necessitated the ordinance, because the City always maintained that it was not their function. She recognized that some people do have a problem that should be addressed. She also discussed this with certain developers who are going to create projects along Southgate Boulevard, because sidewalks have been requested in the area. But,prior to completion of negotiations, she anticipated removal of certain Australian Pines by the developers, because of inability to mow the swale area, and poor visibility beyond these trees. C/W Massaro felt that something has to be created which will be equitable to all the people, but the City Council meetings will be recessed during the month of August. She said that C/I1 Zemel indicated that there may be problems with the growth, which should be properly mowed. It was her suggestion that the City Manager be authorized to have someone from Public Works open up the areas where lawnmowers are not able to come through. She MOVED to TABLE this item to the first meeting in September, with the City Manager authorized to provide access for anyone that finds they are not able to get through to mow their swage area. mum 7/22/81 mr/ r MOTION TO TABLE DIED, :DUE TO LACK OF A SECOND. C/M Zemel discussed an article written in this day's Miami Herald, which indicates that Dade and Broward County has the worst mosquito infestation since 1976. This, he said, was noted to be caused by the high grass and breeding grounds,which the moisture causes when it hits the grass. C/W Massaro said the effort to be rid of the Australian Pines is important, because they are also mosquito breeders; and, would be to everyone's benefit. V/PZ Disraelly confirmed the fact that maintenance would be only in the areas where unreasonable access problems for cutting are involved. He said once sidewalks are installed, then unreasonable access would be eliminated. C/P'! Zemel said if the City Manager is authorized to grant the permits for cutting particular swale areas by the City, then, at the same time she could also be given the power to rescind, where the area is accessible to the homeowners. V/M Disraelly said the request should be in writing to the City Manager, which will be handled on its merits. Florence Bochenek of Section 21, indicated that her home is on the corner of McNab and Nob Hill Roads, and was unaware of this original ordinance. She discussed the growth of the grass and lawn height, and felt that an emergency measure should be taken, and the City Manager should be empowered to have the Public Works do the cutting.. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #902, for second reading, and noted a change in the title, "to permit the Cit Mana er to designate public property abutting paved public rights -of -way", by _removing or Council on line 3. Also, removing the last word on line 11, which is to. C/M Zemel MOVED to adopt Temp. Ord. #902 on second reading, as corrected in the title, on line 3, removing the words "or City__Council: Also, the last word on line 11 is to be deleted, namely,"to." V/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Irving Brody of 92nd Avenue and McNab Road, indicated an individual claims to have fallen on his property, and a suit was filed. He said his property consists of 2000 square feet of land on McNab Road, which is owned by the City of Tamarac. Ile was advised by the attorney representing Allstate Insurance, that should he or his gardener work this strip of land, he would be held liable for damages sustained by the plaintiff. Mr. Sawyer said that his backyard runs on Nob Hill Road, and indicated that his wife is not able to go out because the grass is the height of a hay field. He felt that the swales should be cut. Sam Fleischman, a resident of Section 21, said that he is on McNab Road, at the last canal, and has to travel 3/4 of a mile each way in order to get his lawnmower there. He also said the height of the Australian Pines are maintained, and enjoys the privacy it affords. He felt that cutting down the Pines would permit people to take a shortcut across his property to the mainroad and the clubhouse. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. C/M Zemel said the ordinance indicates that a procedure will be established by the City Manager or the City Council, as to a written request to have the grass cut, because of unreasonable access. -19- 7/22/81 mr/ COMMUNITY DEVELOPME14T 69. Travel Talk (Shops of Tamarac) - Sign Waiver - Temp. Reso. #1999 -- Discussion and possible action on a request for waiver of the sign ordinance pertaining to style of lettering. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Denied The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1999. MAYOR FALCK CALLED FOR A TWO-PIINUTE RECESS. V/M Disraelly said that Travel Talk appeared before the Beautification Committee two weeks ago, and requested a sign in the Shops of Tamarac. The Committee denied this, because the City Ordinance requires that all signs within a shopping center shall be of one design and one color; and, did not conform to the center's criteria. Fie further added they were asking for lower case instead of block letters. The Vice Mayor informed Council that they appeared before the Beautifica- tion Committee last Monday, and requested a waiver for the style of lettering that was used. The Committee made a motion for the waiver petition to be presented to the City Council, but it was denied because it did not meet with the established criteria lettering style. V/M Disraelly MOVED to DENY Temp. Reso. Jf1999, because it does not con- form to the requirements. Fie said that every sign in the shopping center, since the adoption of the ordinance by the City, has had yellow block letters. C/M Zemel SECONDED the motion. Luis Alvarez of Triple A Signs, represented Travel Talk, and said this company has four or five different stores, and their logo was very im- portant to them. He said there were other signs in the center, that did not have block letters. V/M Disraelly responded that the stores which came in since the adoption of the Sign Ordinance, have changed their signs to conform, This is yellow lettering on a brown background, with block letters, and the height of the top line not to exceed 18 inches, with other lines to be 6 inches. Fie further stated this was indicated for the shopping center on October 20, 1980, by Barry Eden, the General Manager. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. PUBLIC IIEARI14GS 23. Bud et Amendment - Temp.

Second Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #885. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Rich Arlington of FP&L, said this particular station is at the 8400. block of Southgate Boulevard. V/M Disraelly explained that this item refers to the transformer stations, but, if such a station is built, this City will require a seven (7) foot high fence, with minimum setbacks of 25 feet from any property; And, in addition, will require landscaping of at least one (1) tree planted every 25 feet around the perimeter of the station. This would be in accordance with the City's Code; with a continuous hedge to be placed around the outside perimeter of that enclosure instead of the chainlink fence. He suggested that concrete blocks be constructed with an orna- mental design, rather than a chainlink fence, which would be beautiful. Mr. Arlington reiterated that it would be located on 84th Avenue, in the golf course on Southgate Boulevard. Martin Sager of Woodmont, inquired as to other locations that could be used for this transformer station; objecting to the designated location. Mr. Arlington said that electric substations are now permitted in R-1 zoning, and did not want to rezone this property to that status, but were requesting a variance on A-1. This would be a substation, and not a plant, he said. lie said this is not next to a residential area, and is on the golf course, but a site plan still has to be submitted. for consideration. C/W Massaro felt that blanket permission to build in an A--1 area would not meet with her approval, and would prefer to table this item. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. C/W Massaro MOVED to table the item, and C/M Kravitz SECONDED. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 27. Bruce Egan - Rezoniaa Petition #3A-Z--81 - Discussion and possible action to rezone lands on the east side of University Drive extending southward from N.W. 64th Street to St. Malachy Church property from R-3 to B-2 by Temp. Ord. #906. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to 9/9/81, after review by the Consulting City Planner, as to the proposed rezoning. -21- 7/22/81 mr/ r- The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #906. Paul Young, with the firm of Goldberg, Young, Goldberg & Borgson, represented the petitioner,Bruce Egan. Ile said they appeared before the homeowners Association, on the property immediately east of the proposed site, and the Planning Commission. A recommendation was made, he said, to change the property from R-3 to B-2. Mr. Young indicated that the site on this item and the next item on the agenda, encompasses ten (10) acres of property. Mr. Young further stated that Item #27 involved rezoning the property from R-3 to B-2, and would be appropriate. Ile also noted that the rear portion of the property, which abuts the present residential area, would involve the creation of a buffer zone. Ile additionally stated that the dimensions from the rear property line are 150 feet from the residential area, and would require rezoning from R-3 to RD--7. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Melanie Reynolds said she inquired at the Planning Commission meeting, as to why this property could not be rezoned to B-1, rather than B-2, because there are more limited uses involved. Mr. Young said that he advised the Planning Commission there would be no difficulty with B-1, but that B-2 was adequate. Mr. Birken explained that the Planning Commission was to approve or deny rezoning to B-2, with recommendations to be submitted to the City Council. Ile also said that Council has the authority to rezone to a more restrictive category than requested, and could approve the B-1 zoning. Saul Messinger of Vanguard Village, said they were reluctant to encourage additional commercial development in Tamarac, but the homeowners on the property adjacent to this plot, felt this may be a solution, rather than having the density created by two-story condominiums. Ile inquired as to RD--7 permitting two-family dwellings, but does not specify single story. C/W Massaro said it involved duplexes only, but does not limit it to single story. Mr. Messinger said the two items on the agenda involved two separate rezonings, and would like to make the first contingent on the granting of the second; which was previously accomplished on the Shell property. He requested that the City Council safeguard the residents, by con- sidering Items 27 and 28 together. Nat Kornreich of Vanguard Village, said he attended the last Planning Commission meeting, and at their level, they considered this be re- zoned to B-1. He inquired whether this would be connecting duplexes, with one-story buildings, or could it go to two-story. C/M Zemel said if it is rezoned, then the developer has the right to do this, to which Mr. Young said he presented this to the Planning Com- mission, as to not going over the one-story building, with a covenant to be placed on the land, to that effect. Mr. Young said the people who reside immediately behind the project, are aware that the present zoning would permit more than one-story buildings. Ile also noted, that the land was split to two petitions, in order to establish the buffer zone, and have the frontage commercially zoned. Mr. Young responded to a question by C/W Massaro, by stating that it would be restricted to adults, which is similar to what is presently in Vanguard Village. lie reiterated that a covenant would be placed, which is a recorded document indicating that nothing else could be done. Mr. Birken explained that this involves a deed restriction, which they will place, and indicates particular things they can and cannot do. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. V/M Disraelly said he reviewed the plan, and felt it was good, but now felt it would be creating more strip zoning. Ile referred to the -22_ 7/22/81 mr/ r r � City of Davie, and the moratorium they were placing on University Drive for all building, because of limiting the strip stores, and re-evaluating what has been done. Fie also felt that additional strip stores were not necessary, and because University Drive is a principal highway, many people want to live there and be close enough to walk to shopping centers, banks and churches. The Vice Mayor said good bus routes do -exist run- ning north and south, to the major shopping centers. He was terribly concerned about the homes that could be built adjacent to Vanguard Village, because it would be facing a shopping center fence, that is six feet high in the front yard, and no amenities for recreation, but 14 isolated homeowners. He said they could have individual swimming pools, but nothing that could involve a group or community, and would be difficult to sell. It was his feeling that the total concept should be reviewed, not only for those homeowners, but those abutting in Vanguard Village. Richard Rubin, the Consulting City Planner, indicated that he has not had the opportunity to review this application in-depth, but did note that four years previous, when the Land Use Plan was adopted, there was time spent in reviewing the land along University Drive. It was the Planning Commission and City Council's intent at that time, to not have strip commercial along the entire length of University Drive. If, he said, Council is in favor of the application, he would like to review the proposed rezoning, and bring positive findings for the next reading. V/M Disraelly MOVED to table the item to the September 9th meeting, and C/W Massaro SECONDED. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. Mr. Rubin indicated that the applicant requested that Item #28 be tabled. 28.

Bonaire Associates., Ltd. - Rezoning Petition #10-Z-81 - Discussion and possible action to rezone lands in the proposed Woodmont Tract 74 and 75 project located south of N.W. 78th Street between University Drive and N.W. 80th Avenue, from R--3U to S-1 by Temp. Ord. #904. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved on lst reading, with review by the Consulting City Planner. The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #904. Candy Mehling, Project Coordinator for Keith & Schnars, represented Bonaire Associates, displayed the plan, and discussed the location for the pool and restroom facilities for the residents of Tract 74 and 75. She further stated that the rezoning was mandated by Council, at the time of site plan approval. She also responded to a question by V/M Disraelly, by stating that the items to be located there will not change. V/M Disraelly said that the site plan has been approved, and inquired -23- 7/22/81 mr/ J as to what portion of the 19 feet is in the "S" zoning. Mr. Birken said this could be checked prior to second reading, to which Mr. Rubin responded that additional information would be presented to Council, prior to second reading. Ms. Mehling said the development involved three-story condominium, with a total of 800 units, which has been approved. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public, and closed it because there were no comments received. C/W Massaro MOVED that Temp. Ord. .4904 be approved on first reading, and the Consulting City Planner check for adequate S-1 zoning assigned to the property, in order to accommodate what is going on. C/PZ Zemel SECONDED. V/M Disraelly inquired whether it is applicable to the recreation area, as to the fee, to which C/W Massaro responded that the required fee has been paid, but would be required to maintain the proper setback, and would have to enlarge the S-1 area if there is not adequate space.

Ord. ##903. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 1st reading, with conditions. The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. ##903. Tape ##7 Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. George Platt represented the Greens Condominium Apartments, Inc., which association is for two condominiums that are adjacent to the property. Ile said a meeting was held with the representatives of Coral Gables Federal, in order to determine the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission, as relates to the commercial development adjacent to the residential. Mr. Platt requested that two conditions be placed on the rezoning; 1) that they agree to the recordation of a covenant, to the satisfaction of the City Council, because the use would be for a one- story drive-in facility. C/W Massaro said that Mr. Kepshire indicated that inclusion in the covenant would state that should the use be abandoned, that the zoning would revert to the present status. Mr. Platt said that the City Attorney has a copy of the seller's attorney's recommendations. Ile suggested different verbiage, but it basically involved a one-story drive --in facility, and also felt that the landscaping buffer would exist between the commercial and residen- tial area, at the time of site plan submission. C/W Massaro said at the Planning Commission, the applicant,for-Mr.Kepshire did indicate they would voluntarily agree to the beautification required by the residents. Bernard Kepshire, Senior Vice President of Coral Gables, said that a statement was made that the landscaping would conform to the City's requirements, and embellish it to a reasonable extent. Mr. Platt reiterated that such a statement be an implicit condition of the City's approval, to which Mr. Rubin noted that the Planning Commis- sion indicated that they meet with the Consulting City Planner, for an amicable landscaping design. Mr. Kepshire said that because of the time factor, he would like an addition of a bypass being made on the one going east, which would be within the requirements. Ile said in other locations, and in some com- munities, landscaping is instituted in lieu of a wall. This, he said, would be more costly to them, to put in landscaping, due to the mainten- ance. -24- 7/22/81 mr/ V/M Disraelly said the Code indicates, "solid stucco and painted", as relates to the wall, and felt they could arrange for some beautification on the exterior of the wall. Mr. Kepshire said the purpose of the petition is to sell Coral Gables this property, for use as a drive-in facility, which they have agreed to use as a single -story building, but would request a reverter in the deed, if such use is not desired. Mr. Birken stated that a covenant and zoning are different, and re- sponded to a question by V/M Disraelly, that there is no wall require- ment. Mr. Platt felt that the Association and Coral Gables could agree that a nice buffer would be adequate, in order to avoid the wall. Fie said it is the desire of both parties, that if the property ceases to be used for the one-story drive-in financial facility, that it revert back to the residential designation, instead of commercial. Mr. Birken said the B-5 district was expanded to permit many uses other than retail. Milton Meyer, of The Greens, inquired whether approval of the zoning to B-5 could be made conditional, as to reverting to R-4A, to which the City Attorney responded that it could not. But, Mr. Birken said that the covenant could indicate use, and if not constructed within a period of time, that such use shall be limited to residential. C/W Massaro confirmed the fact that covenant could be written, if the particular use is abandoned, then it could revert to residential use. Mort Student said the area being discussed is quite small, but felt that it would be satisfactory for a drive-in one-story facility, with landscaping involved. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. C/W Massaro MOVED that the B-5 zoning petition be permitted, which is based on a voluntary stipulation from the petitioner and prospective owner; that this covenant will be.prepared between first and second reading,for Council's satisfaction, also, the residents adjacent to the property. Also, if the bank does not build the drive-in, that it would revert to residential use. Mr.Barnard, the Attorney for John Dietrich, said that a covenant was proposed for the land, with such intention, and would provide the City with such copies; which was similar to the one prepared by Mr. Platt. V/M Disraelly SECONDED the MOTION. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 31. Mission Bell Office Plaza - Petition #12-Z-81 - Discussion and possible action to grant a limited waiver to parking requirements of Chapter 18 of the Code for a business located at 4600-4620 W. Commercial Boulevard, Tamarac, by Temp. Reso. #1973. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, with conditions RESOLUTION NO.R- 1-- r PASSED. The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1973, and indicated that a memo was provided to Council relating to this item. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Robert DiStefano said that he was petitioner, and indicated that a memo was sent to the Council members, as to the difference between 105 to 108 spaces for parking. He also realized that the handicapped spaces were omitted, but has been clarified. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. V/M Disraelly inquired whether Mr. DiStefano was aware of the report -25- 7/22/81 mr/ and recommendation by the Planning Commission, as to granting relief for six spaces, but would go to eight spaces. Ile was aware that the City Attorney sent a letter on July 8th, which indicated the intent of the Council members, in order to ultimately effect confirmity in the year 2000. Mr. DiStefano said that he objected to this, and advised that there were 99 parking spaces at Mission Bell, with the legal square footage being 19,050, and did require 93 spaces. He stated that 17,400 square feet were leased, and required 87 parking spaces. Additionally, he said, a survey was submitted to Council, and was made from April 27th through May 8th, which was a fair representation of the actual parking. After two weeks of reviewing the parking, he determined that no more than 70 spaces were used at one period of time, which left 30 spaces vacant. Ile committed himself, by stating that no other waiver will be requested, but will remain with 108 parking spaces. Also, he said, that if a doctor leaves, he would not want to state that it could not be rented to another doctor. Mr. DiStefano responded to a question by C/W Massaro, by stating that Mission Bell is completely filled, and advised that one office has dual occupancy. C/W Massaro said this piece of property has always been a credit to the City, and never noticed a parking problem in the area. The Consulting City Planner said he reviewed the parking standards for doctors, at the request of the City Attorney, which memo was dated July 21st. He felt that the City's standards are reasonable, but some of the other cities are less or more stringent. Ile further advised that the City adopted an ordinance, for parking, in 1976 or 1978.And,indi-- cated that all applications for occupational license shall be reviewed, in order for an owner of a shopping center to avoid leasing more intense space, that a parking lot would permit, he said. Mr. Rubin did agree that Mission Bell Center was attractive, and if Staff determines that there is no hardship at that site, even if there is a problem with the amount of parking spaces, then a limited waiver be permitted. However, the applicant did agree to not lease any new space to doctors, which would create an additional hardship. But,should the doctor move, then he should conversely agree to lease it back at the original standard, to retail use, he stated. The petitioner did not concur with the second portion of ter. Rubin's statement. Mr. Birken did believe that a document should be signed by both parties, to be publicly recorded. Also, he said that at least one member of Council felt there should not be restrictions, as relates to a doctor moving out, and permission to rent to another doctor. C/W Massaro said the parking is for new construction coming in, and the waiver is for consideration of the other buildings. Tape 48 Mr. Birken said if carte blanche is given, then it would be impossible for the City Attorney's office to defend any denials. Mr. DiStefano said that as a landlord, he would not be motivated to cause a problem by overloading the parking lot. V/M Disraelly MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso. #1973, with granting of the . limited waiver, whereby not more than five (5) suites currently occupied by six (6) doctors, will be at any time devoted to doctors, and all other spaces shall be on a 1 to 200 basis.

Reso. #1971. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, with conditions. RESOLUTION NO. R- Y/— /��J'_PASSED. -26- 7/22/81 mr/ r The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1971. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Barry Eden, the Attorney for the petitioner, indicated that the building under discussion was built in 1972,which was a medical complex. fie re- quested a review be made of the parking ordinance, because there is no overflow parking; and the owners would work with the City. Ile further stated that a list of the doctors in the building was submitted to the City. Mr. Eden said that the City Attorney prepared an agreement, which he concurred with. V/M Disraelly said some areas have problems, while others do not, but the parking ordinance was rewritten one year ago, with copies submitted to Mr. Eden, and also the Chamber of Commerce. Many changes were made, he said, based on input, with adjustments that were necessary, but might still require additional review. Mr. Eden reviewed the various suites, and the occupants therein; 1) and 2) - Dr. Kugel; 3)-Dr. Saltzman; 4)-Dr. Rosenkranz; 5)-United Southern Realty; 6) -Dr. Edelson and Dr. Heiffeerman, dual dentists; 7) -- Dr. Ri45,. which is a medically related office for polyographs, but was treated as retail; and 8) - is vacant, but was Dr. Sandso He reiterated that the parking ordinance should be reviewed, and recom- mended the following suites be considered for medical use, namely, suites 1 and 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, with 5 and 7 to not have doctors. Peter Weinstein, with the law firm of Weinstein & Zimmerman, was repre- senting Doctors Heifferman and Edelson. Ile noted that Dr. Edelson has been in the same building for approximately seven years. originally, he came into the suite with a partner, which suite was one of the largest in the building, and could accommodate two doctors, Mr. Weinstein said. Ile further stated that Dr. Ieifferman does not have an occupational license, but would comply,and conform to the City's requirements. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. C/W Massaro MOVED to approve Temp. Reso. #1971, with five single occu- pancies and one dual occupancy, for doctors; also, two suites to be occupied as business offices. C/M Kravitz SECONDED the motion. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 33. Sabal Palm Plaza (formerly Burkard Office Plaza) - Petition #14-Z-81 - Discussion and possible action to grant a limited waiver to parking re- quirements of Chapter 18 of the Code for a business located at the southeast corner of Rock Island Road and W. Commercial Boulevard, Tamarac, by Temp. Reso. #1972. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, RESOLUTION 140.R- 0 PASSED. with conditions. The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1972. Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public. Steven Kellough, the Attorney representing the petitioner, requested a waiver for twenty (20) spaces. He said there are presently three vacant bays, which cannot be rented, under the applicable parking re- quirements. At the time of purchase, in 1978, he said the bays were completely occupied. The City's ordinance, he said, does require 109 spaces, but there are 94 spaces at the shopping center. Mr. Kellough said that various occupational licenses have been denied by the City, due to excess parking requirements under the ordinance. Ile reiterated that they were requesting a waiver of twenty (20) spaces, and stated that in the proposed stipulation prepared by Mr. Birken, it was recog- nized there was no physical space for the extra space. Mr. Kellough advised that his client was losing approximately 200 of the rental revenues, with a loss by the City of revenues it would derive, if the property was completely rented. Again, he said, they were re- questing 20 spaces over and above the 94 which were presently there, with permission to rent the bays to whoever they desire, as long as 7/22/81 -27- mr/ the limit of 114 parking spaces is not exceeded. Ed Sinz, an occupant of the Sabal Palm Plaza, and also the immediate past President of the Sabal Palm Business Association, indicated that the owners of the various businesses were recommending the granting of additional parking spaces; because parking is available. V/M Disraelly inquired as to the square footage of the entire plaza, to which Mr. Rubin responded that it was 19,670. The Vice Mayor said he had a total figure of 19,586, which involved 98 spaces, on a 1 to 200 basis, plus two handicapped spaces. The requirement, he said, should then be 100 spaces based on square footage. Mr. Kellough, who represents the Shopping Center, indicated there was a question of computing the medical area, which involves Dr.Pdorensberg and his wife; who is a marriage counselor. The petitioner was re- questing a waiver of twenty (20) spaces, or a total of 114, which would include the handicapped spaces. Pedro Tetro, the Manager for the Shopping Center, stated that the walk-in traffic is approximately 700, with 50 spaces usually available. Ile also noted that 209 of the stores were empty. Mr. Kellough indicated that units 2, 3 and 4 were presently vacant, and based on the number of present spaces, and the vacancies that exist, it was imperative they have a twenty (20) space waiver. Ile further stated that if they are given six (6) spaces, then only one store could be rented. Mr. Kellough said that the last perspective applicants have been doctors, and twenty (20) spaces would permit rental of two or three units, which would generate a profit in this business. C/W Massaro said this is a different situation, as to location of the golf course, and the general area, because many of the stores do not use many spaces at one time, or have a multitude of people. She felt they were entitled to the twenty spaces, until such time that a problem has been found. Mr. Rubin inquired whether the stores would be leased for retail use only, to which Mr. Kellough said that restricting the lease to particu- lar business, was limiting the rentability -of stores. lie further noted that the nature of the center has not changed since it was purchased. Mr. Kellough also stated that the center has not had retail applications but medical, for the vacant stores. C/M Zemel confirmed the fact that if a retail tenant moves out, then they would be able to rent to doctors, but to never exceed the addi- tional twenty (20) spaces. V/PST Disraelly said.that the two -previous pi--tltions were not handled by numbers of spaces, and did not want to be locked -in by a number. C/W Massaro said recognition has to be given to the fact that this building has been empty many times, because other areas have different situations. She further stated that as long as they do not exceed the allowable spaces, then they should be permitted to do so, and rent, as they are able to. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing, because there were no further comments received. C/M Kravitz said he was familiar with the center, and always found more than ample parking spaces. He then MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso.#k1972, granting twenty (20) additional spaces, but with a proviso, that if the City Council encounters problems as to use, a new determination will be made. C/W Massaro SECONDED the motion. Mr. Birken inquired as to the standard to be applied for the parking as constructed, the way it is today, or the standard in effect at the time the occupational license is applied for. C/M Kravitz felt that when an application is made, then the standards would be used, which would include the twenty (20) additional spaces. Pedro Tetro, the applicant, concurred with the Council's decision. _28_ 7/22/81 mr/ VOTE: C/M Kravitz Aye C/M Zemel - Aye C/W Massaro - Aye V/M Disraelly -- Nay Mayor Falck - Aye 34.

Marshall's Department Store (Tamarac Shopping Plaza, 7501 N.W. 57th Street) Sign Waiver - Discussion and possible action on a request for waivers of the sign ordinance pertaining to: a) Color of sign on the face of the building -- Temp. Reso. #2001. b) Color and style of lettering on a sign on the west side of the plaza at University Drive - Temp. Reso. #2002. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) and b) - Tabled to the September 9, 1981 meeting. The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #2001. Albert Myers represented Marshall's Department Stores, which is a chain of 89 department stores throughout the United States; with four stores to be opened in south Florida. fie also said they have taken over the area of three Treasury stores that have closed,namely, in Hialeah, Hollywood and South Dade. Mr. Myers further indicated they have a store in Altamonte Springs, and one in Jacksonville,`Florida. Tape The chain, he said, was operating with 80 employees, and moving into #9 the Tamarac Shopping Center, would involve the employment of local people. There would be local advertising in the news media, on radio and TV. Mr. Myers further stated that Marshall's has projected through- out the United States, a particular type of sign lettering. He pre- sented photographs to Council., for viewing. Mr. Myers said the store under consideration in Tamarac, does not face University Drive, but into the parking area of the shopping center. He also displayed two letters, namely, one from the landlord, who did not object to the colors of the shopping center; also, one from Marshall's, permitting Mr. Myers or the Melwebb Sign Company to appear before the City Council. Mr. Rubin said the site plan usually shows location, and inquired about the ground sign, to which Mr. Myers clarified the inquiry, and stated there is an existing sign, which indicates "entrance". The Consulting City Planner also advised that the minimum setback for a ground sign is ten (10) feet from the property line, to which Mr.Myers concurred. Also, Mr. Rubin inquired as to the recommendation of the Beautification Committee, to which Mr. Myers said the item was denied, because it was not within their jurisdiction. OW031 7/22/81 mr/ Mr. Rubin said the Beautification Committee was concerned with poles, and inquired whether they would agree to put a planter on the base of the sign, in order to hide the poles; to which Mr. Myers concurred. V/M Disraelly inquired about one ground sign being permitted in a shopping center, which is usually the name of the center, and not a particular store. Based on this premise, he said, what would occur if all the other tenants want ground signs. Mr. Birken said that it was the prerogative of the owner of the center to permit this; namely Vordermeier Management. Edmund Farrell, Manager of the Tamarac.Shopping Center, said that the Vordermeier Company does manage the property, and the only discussion of the sign, was for the face of the building. lie said permission was given, in writing, to use a different color, with the approval of the City Council. But, he said, they would not permit a ground sign in the Tamarac Shopping Center, and would not give up this right. Mr. Myers said he was not informed of this, but would rescind the ground sign request. V/M Disraelly said that Publix has 150 odd stores throughout the State of Florida,and locating the second store,.in the City of Tamarac, on Southgate Boulevard. He further stated that the second store will not have a Publix logo on it, with green lettering, and felt that the colors were designated to be white. Other shopping centers in the area, he said, have designated coloring and types of lettering; which the tenants have complied with. The Vice Mayor said that having quality merchandise is of utmost importance, and the sign is not the determining factor. He also said the City has established an ordinance; with the Vordermeier people having established a criteria for the entire shopping center, and called this to Mr. Myers attention. C/M Kravitz inquired whether the applicant would consider tabling this item to a meeting in September, in order to clear everything with their Building Manager, to which Mr. Myers said they are preparing to open the store, and felt that holding the item to the September meeting, would not give them adequate time. Mr. Myers said they would agree to have both Items a)and b) tabled to the next meeting in September. C/M Kravitz MOVED to table Item #66 a) and b) to the September 9th, 1931 meeting, and C/W Massaro SECONDED. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 67. Marshall's Department Store - Revised Site Plan - Discussion and possible action on a revised site plan for widening a concrete pad. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to 9/9/81 meeting, but permit approved for interior work. Mr. Birken inquired whether Mr. Farrell was involved in the submission of the revised site plan, to which he indicated that he was not aware of this, and could not give permission for this. The City Attorney said what was submitted did not meet the criteria which has been established for site plans and revised plans, with items being incorrect, such as parking. He additionally advised that the approved site plans have lapsed, which involved a Court order, as to the site plans being valid through June of this year. He felt that they might come back with an amended site plan, and work with the people from Marshall's. What is before Council, he said, at this time, is clearly insufficient, and should not take action to approve it. V/M Disraelly MOVED to table Item #67 to the September 9, 1981 meeting, and C/M Zemel SECONDED. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. Fred Humphrey, the architect for the proposed alterations to Marshall's, was not aware that the minor modifications to the structure would require --30- 7/22/81 mr/ revised site plan approval. This involved, he said, placing a trash compacter in the rear of the store, and would require the installation of a triangular pad, which will be approximately 12 or 15 feet long, and 6 feet on the base,and against the building. C/W Massaro said the Manager of the store has to discuss this with the Vordermeier Company, and requested that a site plan be submitted which would meet the requirements. This, she said, could be presented and discussed with Mr. Rubin or Mr. Birken. Mr. Humphrey said they would lake to begin construction, and if it me.nt the elimination of the trash compacter, at this point, they they would withdraw it, and not have any site work. V/M Disraelly said in reviewing and measuring the area of the compacter, there would be three spaces involved, whereby automobiles are not able to back out. Also, he said, the parking spaces in the rear, are paral- lel, and not as indicated in the site plan. He said it was difficult to determine the relationship to the compacter, because nothing is right about the plan. He reiterated that the site plans be reviewed, because the City Attorney did indicate the site plans have lapsed. C/W Massaro felt they would want to help Marshall's, and inquired whether there was anything that Council could do, prior to the August recess of their meetings. Mr. Farrell said there is no restaurant involved, but is purely retail which deals with clothing, but the compacter could be eliminated from their scope of work. Fie felt the owner of the shopping center would not object to the interior work being done at this time, to which the City Council concurred that such a permit could be obtained. C/W Massaro reiterated that Mr. Birken or Mr. Rubin be contacted, in order to guide them for the preparation of the September meeting. 60.

Tamarac Soccer Club - Discussion and possible action on additional soccer .fields in the City. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Recommendation to be submitted, in writing, with design for the field by the Consulting City Planner, for multiple recreational use. James Lew, President of the Tamarac Soccer Club, and Secretary to the Parks and Recreation Committee, indicated he has an extensive back- ground in soccer. He also noted his participation in soccer, at a college in New Jersey, and semi -pro soccer in a German -American Soccer League in New York and New Jersey. Fie further stated that he has been with Tamarac soccer for four years; and was the assistant coach, when -31- 7/22/81 mr/ starting. Originally, he said, there were only 150 children playing on the teams, with the season running from October to March. But, the City has expanded to football and little league, with the soccer season being compacted into November 15th to sometime in February. Mr. Lew said that since his election as president, he has received requests for all --girl soccer teams, and under 19 soccer clubs, which is not possible, due to the lack of fields. Ile suggested that Council possibly consider additional fields somewhere in Tamarac. Last year, he said, there was a team that played in the Presidents Club, but was. required to "beg" for fields. Also, they were invited to an interna- tional tournament that was held by the FC United Soccer Club, and their recreation team did beat one competitive team in the tonrnar+p+ent. Mr. Lew said the registration at this time involves 324 children, with the majority of the better soccer players leaving the Tamarac.are.a, and playing in Coral Springs, North Lauderdale, Margate, and areas where there are competitive teams, and facilities. He also stated that this week, the Vice President of the Soccer League, Bill Payne, and he went to a meeting with the Broward County Soccer, where a request was made to play an English team; Ile said they had to respond that they do not have a field. Ile said the amount of children involved would be the registered 324 Plus the ones that have gone to other cities. Also, he indicated, the parents would be willing to help construct the fields, or do whatever is needed. In response to a question by C/M Kravitz, Mr. Lew stated that the majority or 97% children come from the City of Tamarac. C/W Massaro said that Council does recognize the need for more soccer fields, and felt that the area will be used for recreational purposes, but felt that Mr. Rubin should design the type of fields for soccer, tennis and baseball. Mr. Rubin said a comprehensive plan was designed for the Tamarac Park, which was excellent, and requested that the Recreation Committee work, with him, in order to avoid moving the area in the future. He felt that Sharon Ellis could assist him in this capacity. Mrs. Ellis said that Council could approve the placing of the soccer field, with the location being determined, because practice starts in September, and the games begin in October. It would be necessary, she said, to accommodate 324 children. C/M Zemel said that prior to approval, the projected cost was important, which could not be accomplished overnight. Bob Washburn, a resident of Tamarac for the past seven years, was in- volved in the Coral Springs Soccer Team for six years. fie also noted that he is a licensed coach and referee,and was directly involved in the layout of the sporting facilities, at Mullins Park, in Coral Springs He displayed a layout of the projected soccer fields on the board, which would involve three fields, and additionally used for football, with minor lines to be added. One field, he said, would be sodded, and the other two would be seeded, and could be rotated for playing. He was willing to contributE? his expertise, which involved Coral Springs and other areas, includincl Miami. Mr. Washburn said the problem.is having all three sports playing there, which includes baseball, football and soccer. lie felt a rough layout could be designed for the tennis courts, that could be implemented at a latex date. As a soccer club member, he could state that they would participate in light labor and fund raising, in order to assist in promoting this project. The following items, he said, would be involved in all three fields; 1) light fill, 2) sodding costs, 3) leveling and 4) well and drainage. The parking area could be cleared and leveled off, with a rough cost of $10,000.00. He said they would have to rely on the City for heavy labor, with machinery oriented labor. Mr. Washburn felt they could handle the laying of the pipes, and.sodding; with a Pdovember lst deadline, and work to be accomplished through the month of August. Ile also felt they -32-- 7/22/81 mr/ would want to work out an equitable arrangement and share all possible expenses, in order to play soccer for this coming year. He discussed the Coral Springs team and the boys being awarded college scholarships, with grants involved. He felt this type of activity is a result of 4 or 5 years of competitive play, and involved part-time money during the school season, learning to referee, and also refreshing; which sport participation is for 16, 17, 18 and 19 year olds. Ile further stated that girls under 14 could participate, but was important to invite other teams, and -play on good facilities. Mayor Falck said that proper method of procedure would be to have Mr. Rubin start with a plan layout, and would agree that expenses should be determined. Mr. Birken said it may have to be platted, if paving is involved, to which Mr. Rubin responded that a new ordinance was being proposed in the County, to waive the platting. C/W Massaro requested that a letter be submitted, as recommended by Mr. Washburn, in order for Council to be aware of everything involved, for the September meeting. Mr. Rubin said if Mrs. Ellis does a layout of the site, it would assist him in accomplishing the plan, along with a survey. C/M Zemel said the cost of maintenance is of utmost importance, to which C/W Massaro added that all recommendations should be submitted, in writing. Mr. Washburn indicated that lighting was not required at this time, because they were able to obtain a field for night games. He additionally stated that some of the fields were built by the City of Coral Springs, Tape with others being built by participants. The cost of the program there #10 is very expensive, and the budget being handled by the Soccer Associa- tion is over $150,000, which involves 160 teams. It would be important to design a facility for the needs of the Tamarac children. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 60.
