Bolton seconded by Mayor Gomez moved approval of TR13212. Commissioner Gelin stated

Mayor. Commissioner Placko stated for the record her reasons she should be Vice Mayor.
Commissioner Placko said that when she was approached to be Vice Mayor she gave it a lot
of thought and believes it would be in the best interest of Tamarac for her to serve as Vice

herself. Mayor Gomez said there is a possibility that the Vice Mayor will have to take over the

heard together but voted on separately. City Attorney Goren went over the Quasi-Judicial
procedures and processes in great detail and said any documents considered by staff and
the Planning Board are now part of the record. City Attorney Goren talked about the litigation
and settlement agreement relative to the property in question and talked about the Shade
Session which was held earlier this year and said the items discussed are still privileged. City
Attorney Goren said the items are subject to reasonable and fair consideration with due
process given accordingly. City Attorney Goren encouraged the Commission to listen
carefully and ask questions. City Attorney Goren said staff will now make a presentation and
then the applicant will present their case. Mayor Gomez asked for any Exparte disclosures

Mayor Gomez opened the floor for Commission discussion. Commissioner Bolton said some
people are under the impression that he will not be able to vote tonight, but that is incorrect.
Commissioner Bolton said he was elected to serve his community whether it is for or against
a project. F.S. 286.012 says he should abstain from voting; it says, "may abstain" and not
"shall abstain", so he will vote. Commissioner Bolton said he never met an attorney who
made a presentation against a project, because it is always to his benefit and feels the
studies presented are skewed. Commissioner Bolton expressed concern that this building will
be five stories and will be looking into backyards; there will be traffic, property values will
plummet, and the residents have expressed that they do not want a self-storage facility at
that location. Commissioner Bolton asked if 1 acre is enough for a passive park and City
Manager Cernech responded yes. Commissioner Bolton talked about other potential uses of
the property and introduced pictures into the record. Commissioner Bolton asked how many
self-storage facilities were in the vicinity and Mr. Mele said there were 11 within 3 miles of the
proposed project. Commissioner Bolton proposed putting a moratorium on self-storage
facilities and asked for this to be placed on a workshop for discussion.
Commissioner Gelin asked how many people attended the first meeting the applicant had
and how were people noticed and Mr. Mele responded about 40 people and notices were
sent out to people within 400 ft. of the proposed project. Commissioner Gelin asked how
many facilities there really were, and Community Development Director Calloway said staff
will look into that and get back to the Commission. Commissioner Gelin said he empathizes
with all parties and based on what he is hearing, people feel they are not being heard. The
Planning Board voted this down. Commissioner Gelin asked what was the sale price of the
property, how much was it appraised for and what tax revenue would Tamarac gain. There
was a discussion on the settlement agreement related to the property. Mr. Mele said they
can prepare an analysis of the taxes and revenues if this is built and will have it before the
Commission at second reading. City Attorney Goren reminded the Commission that if this
does not move forward tonight these items are over. City Attorney Goren said if this does not
move forward this will have no impact on the Settlement Agreement.
Vice Mayor Placko expressed her concern about the height of the building and how it
compared to the surrounding communities. Mr. Mele said we are not here to talk about site
plan issues and that the Commission is voting on the Small-Scale Land Use Plan
Amendment and Re-Zoning of the property. Commissioner Gelin asked if there had been an
independent study done that shows what happens to the value of the propefi after a self-
storage facility is put up and Community Development Director Calloway said no and Mr.
Mele said something could be done before second reading. Commissioner Bolton said
residents are concerned that this is a done deal because there is already equipment on site.
Mr. Mele said it is not the applicant's equipment. City Clerk Teufel swore in Public Services
Director Strain and Public Services Director Strain said a contractor for FDOT put equipment
there and we told them they had to remove it as they did not have the City's permission. He
will send staff out to check to see if has been moved and if not, we will tell them they need to
move it again. Commissioner Bolton said if they vote yes on this tonight it becomes a done
deal and there is no going back and asked if we change the zoning from RC to MUN does the
land become entitled and we can't go back.
City Attorney Goren said this is first reading on both items and if they pass tonight they will go
on to second reading. There is currently pending a request to the County Commission to
release the covenant on the record that was placed on this property thru the Land Use
Amendment process for Sabal Palm and Monterey many years ago. lf the County
Page 7 of 9 COMMISSION MEETING December 12,2O18
T
Commission, under the terms of the settlement document, does not approve the release of
the Covenant this whole transaction ends because the application would be moot, which
means it is of no legal value, because the property is legally restricted to be used for a fire
station. City Attorney Goren said it is not just for municipal uses or governmental uses but for
a fire station. lf the County Commission approves the release of the covenant, then the
covenant leaves the property and the City does not have to build a fire station. The issue is
what does the settlement document say; it says under the purchase agreement if the City
Commission is exercising its good faith and all the rights and privileges, required by the
Code, approves of the Re-zoning and the Site Plan and the Small-scale Land Use
Amendment, then the seller will sell, and the buyer will build on the property. City Attorney
Goren said there was a question of vested rights, and he said he does not know, but he can
tell the Commission that if the City Commission approves of the Small-scale Land Use Plan
Amendment and the Re-zoning, you will have a different zoning category on the property
which could lead to other development of the property. City Attorney Goren said if the
covenant is not released everything is off the table and if the County releases the covenant
and allows the Amendment to occur, and the City Commission decides not to approve the
items, then we will be back in court with Prestige Homes. The cases in the Courts are
currently in abeyance. City Attorney Goren said it is somewhat better to get 50% of
something than 50% of nothing.
Commissioner Bolton said now we know what Prestige Homes wants and it is clearly stated
in the Settlement Agreement and if we say no to this we can go to them and give them the
money for the land and then we can move to having some sort of other use. Commissioner
Bolton said there is nothing wrong in going to court as it is better to fight and go down
swinging. City Attorney Goren said for the record we are not advocating or usurping the City's
rights in those lawsuits. Let's be very clear about advocacy and representation and if this
Commission wants to essentially deny the applications, abandon the request to amend the
plat at the County Commission level and continue fighting, that is the Commission's
prerogative and we will follow your direction. At a Shade Session we will talk about the
limitations and the risks and liabilities, but we cannot discuss this tonight. Commissioner
Bolton said we need to say no to this application and asked the Commission to say no and
side with the residents and continue fighting for them and for their property values and the
people in those surrounding communities. By saying yes tonight, we are saying no to the
residents.
Mayor Gomez said this is a Land Use matter which is tied to something that is very complex.
Certain decisions are not easy. Today is about land use and zoning and an application for a
self-storage facility, which we will be voting on separately. The applicant has said that it will
go forward and review the items and bring back more information at a second hearing. Mayor
Gomez said we are at a point where the Commission needs to make a decision on whether
or not we allow this to go through to a second hearing where a final decision will be made.
Mayor Gomez asked City Clerk Teufelto call the questions.
