City Attorney Kraft read Temporary Ordinance 2044 on first reading by title. Commissioner Roberts seconded by Vice Mayor Sultanof moved approval. City Attorney Kraft announced that Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco has a statement regarding a voting conflict as it relates to this item. Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco read into the record a statement regarding a voting conflict with regard to this item as an economic benefit to the Woodlands Country Club, of which she is a member, could also be a benefit to members of the Country Club, and therefore she must recuse herself from voting on this item. (Copy of statement attached and made a part of the minutes.) Commissioner Roberts questioned the fact that the proposed amendment states that the land has no productive May 12, 2004 6 use as park or open space. Community Development Director King gave a presentation and explained that the property is part of the overall property owned by the Woodlands Country Club and they do not have anything proposed to put on the property. They are built out based on restrictions on the property and would need a delegation request to add an additional use. Community Development Director King explained the process to come after approval of this Ordinance on first reading. The County map also needs to be changed to be consistent with Tamarac's, and if approved tonight, the package will be submitted to Broward County and an application will be made by the applicant to change the County's land use map. It will not, however, be amended until December 2004, and will come back before the Mayor and City Commission for second reading in January 2005, then transmitted to DCA. Commissioner Roberts asked why the Woodlands did not opt for open park space, and Mayor Schreiber replied the reason is financial. Vice Mayor Sultanof questioned how this affects Tamarac since the land was previously designated for recreation. Mayor Schreiber opened the public hearing and Burt Schneider, 8016 NW 72 Street spoke against the conversion of use and said this would set a bad precedent. Community Development Director King spoke of the shortage of available land and said staff has actively pursued park land for the past two years. The City is only entitled to consider a percentage of recreational property for park land, and calculations indicate there will still be enough park land through 2020- 2025, and he does not foresee staff moving forward with any other large residential developments incorporated with recreational land. With no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Schreiber closed the public hearing. On roll call Mayor Schreiber voted "yes", Commissioner Roberts "no", Vice Mayor Sultanof "yes", and Commissioner Portner "yes".

City Attorney Kraft read Temporary Ordinance 2045 on first reading by title. Vice Mayor Sultanof seconded by Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco moved approval. Commissioner Roberts questioned the number of two and three -bedroom units and the number of units to be placed on this property taking into consideration the impact on the schools based on the calculated number of children that may move into the development. Community Development Director King said there are 34 two -bedroom units and 10 three -bedroom units proposed for the development.
