WHEREAS, the Mayor of the City of Tamarac, the Director of Community
Development, and representatives of the Public Works Department and Tamarac Division
of the Broward Sheriffs Office (BSO) attended the July 13, 2000 meeting held by FDOT;
and
WHEREAS, upon review of the information discussed and provided at the July 13,
2000 meeting, the Director of Community Development has determined that the
construction of the Tandem Truck Staging Area on the southwest corner of the Commercial
Boulevard Interchange, as currently proposed by FDOT, will have the following impacts:
1) The construction of the proposed Tandem Truck Staging Area at the
southwest corner of the Commercial Boulevard Interchange of the Sawgrass
Expressway and subsequent elimination of the existing staging area located
at the Deerfield Plaza of the Sawgrass Expressway will attract all Tandem
Truck Traffic destined for locations in Broward County to the Commercial
Boulevard Interchange, thereby, generating significantly increased levels of
heavy truck traffic on Commercial Boulevard, not specifically destined for
locations within the City of Tamarac.
2) The Increased levels of heavy truck traffic on Commercial Boulevard
generated by the staging area may negatively impact the existing and future
development along Commercial Boulevard within the City of Tamarac.

3) The increased levels of heavy truck traffic on Commercial Boulevard may
negatively impact the existing development within the Tamarac Commerce
Park and impair the City's continuing economic development activities to
attract new business to locate within the Tamarac Commerce Park.
4) The increased number of trucks entering and exiting the proposed staging
area may create hazardous conflicts with the existing traffic as well as future
traffic anticipated to be generated as a result of the City of Tamarac's
continued economic development efforts relating to the Tamarac Commerce
Park.
5) The proposed configuration of the staging area will require Tandem Trucks
exiting the Staging Area to travel along Commercial Boulevard in order to
proceed north on the Sawgrass Expressway which is against the law.
6) The storage of tractors equipped with refrigeration units awaiting delivery
within the proposed Tandem Truck Staging Area will generate noise
disturbances with adjacent properties.
7) The storage of trailers with valuable cargo awaiting delivery in an unsecured
location will create a potential target for crime.
8) Based upon input received from representatives of the trucking industry, the
proposed configuration of the Tandem Truck Staging Area will not be
adequate to accommodate the current needs of the trucking industry.
