Civic Center 1,500,000 II In order to have a basis for planning capital improvements necessary and/or desirable for City operation, it is necessary that certain criteria be established. 1. Tamarac, as a Citv, has experienced, controlled but astronomical rate of growth in the past five years. In 1970, the valid statistical census shoved the Citv to be at a population of 5,000 persons. 'Five years later, the most recent census found Tamarac to be at 23,000. The comparison of those two ficqures shows the population increase to be around 4004. However, due to the current nationwide economic recession coribined with greater plannincx controls, the current rate of growth has declined somewhat. "ow according, to our projections, at this growth rate in 1990, Tamarac should be at a population of 62,984. This is calculated on the basis of the increase of dwelling units as compared to the average population per household, which will probably increase from 12,325 in 1975 to 31,932 in 1990. This is an increase of 2,665 persons per vear and, thus, a total increase of 39,984 persons over a period of_15 years. 2. The average density of development Will be 4.1 units per acre, resulting in an increase of 318 acres per year of developed area. At the present time, Tamarac has within its jurisdiction 7,767 acres of land. According to the present Zoning Ordinance, the maximu^ number of dwelling units that can be placed within the City's 7,767 acres is 31,932 units. This is an average of 4.1 units per acre which generally corresponds with Broward County Planning Council's overall plan of development. 3. '•!ajor roads that are designated to be major arterial thorough- fares (prospect Road, Nob Hill Road, Commercial Blvd., mcnab Road, State Road 7, and University Drive) are part of either the County or State Road Systems, and will, therefore, be maintained by the Bro:vard County or the State of Florida. However, streets that are specifically dedicated to the City of Tamarac in residential areas are maintained by the City for the purpose of public safety. The City will also be responsible for main- tenance of the median strips and Swale areas of the County and State maintained roads. This will. require lawn mowing and Beautification. The residential. City streets will require patch- ing and resurfacing at City expense. 4. Costs of operation and maintenance of streets, canals, drainage, City Hall, etc., are routine items included in our yearly opera- tional budgets. There is no need to present these routine opera- tions in a Capital Improvements Budget. However, included in this report are estimates requiring advance planning for major facil- ities such as fire stations, public works facilities, parks, etc. 5. The fiscal year 75--76 will see the beginning of an extensive five year improvement program in the field of fire protection. Over the next three vears from 1975-73, $60,000 will be spent for the purpose of ne%,, fire equipment. This equipment will include a new 1,000 gallon pumper plus outfitting equipment for volunteer firemen. After the first three years, large capital improve- ments are scheduled to purchase equipment for a second sub- station located to serve the eastern partion of the City. 6. With the completion of the new City facilities complex, the. Fire Department will be housed with Public Clorks. ror this purpose, $25,000 has been scheduled to be spent in rX 1975--76 Budget for new facilities. Over the next four years, 128,000 is scheduled for the completion of a second fire station so that the City can adecxuately provede fir,.. protection :: ithr_ut the aid of neighboring cities. 7. In the 1975-76 Budaet, there is no allocation for parks and recreation. To date, the City has received money from devel- opers for the purpose of building parks. This money has been deposited in a special account and totals $110,746. There is a possibility of developin- land along the Cypress Creek Canal for recreational purposes. Also, the possibility still exist: of obtaining land tracts of naturally preserved cypress trees. These trees would also aid Public 7�.orks for future beautification purposes. Ll SUPPORTING IPdFO'n TIO ? BY PROJECT Fire Equipment 1. At the �Dr esen' time, the Cit�> of Tamarac has an intra-ci.ty contract with the City of Lauderhill, Tort Lauderdale and Broward County for the purpose of., fire protection. As of July 1, 1975, the auarterly contract with Lauderhill will expire, however, Tamarac will maintain the contract with _y Tort Lauderdale and Broward County for the services of their Volunteer Fire Departments located in T?orth Andrews Gardens and Bailey Road. On June 11, 1975, Tamarac purchased from Lauderdale Lakes, thus initiating the beginnings of a self - sustained Fire Department. Over the next five years $210,000 has been scheduled to purchase fare equipment to correspond with the growing population of the City. This money will be spent on additional trucks and equipment including two 500 gallon pumpers along with a ladder truck. These expendi- tures also include outfitting and training of volunteer firemen along with their needed equipment. Fire Stations 2. To adcuuately accommodate new fire equipment and employees, a second substation will be needed to accommodate the eastern nortion of the City. The western portion will be protected by the station housed in the new Public Works Compound. Over the next five years,$163,000 is scheduled for the aquisition of land and buildings to be constructed for the purpose of fire protection. The east substation will bU located near Commercial Blvd. and State Road 7 (441). Parks and �.ecreation �. 3. During the next five years, long-range plans are being develoned by the Community Development De-partment for the purpose of parks and recreation. A plan has been proposed to beautify Florida Power and Light's easement along_ the Cypress Creak Canal (C-w14). Also proposed, is a plan to aquire land tracts of beautifully preserved treesIcould occasionally be used by the Public r,,'orks Department for beautification purposes. For this goal $500,000 has been scheduled over the next five years to be used for land aquisition and park development. Sidewalks and Bike Paths 4. On 5-13--75, the Director of Community Development submitted an application to the Florida State Highway Safely Commission for the purpose of receiving grants for the study of bicycle paths. The grant would review alternate methods for moving citizens by low -speed transportation systems. The inclusion of bike- ways and/or golf cart paths would alleviate potential, traffic problems while providing a control method for circulating from residential areas to commercial employment and recreational
