Schreiber asked about the size of the facility, and Mr. Felton said it would be somewhat
larger than normal. Mayor Schreiber asked about the reduction in loading space and
expressed concern that the situation may change and deliveries could be made during

Corporation that deliveries would not be made during business hours. Vice Mayor

granting New Development Site Plan approval to McNab Business Park to allow the
construction of four (4) buildings (total 101,520 square feet) to be completed in three (3)
phases with associated parking, landscaping and infrastructure improvements, located

of the "J & X Plat, according to the Plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 152, Page 3 of

City Attorney Kraft explained the quasi-judicial procedure and Leigh Kerr, 808 E. Las
Olas, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Land Planning Consultant waived his quasi-judicial rights.
Community Development Director King gave a presentation. Mayor Schreiber was
concerned about the buffer, and said with a residential community across the street, it
needs to be sound proof and conceal the building. Community Development Director
King said it would be landscaped with a meandering sidewalk along the site, there is a
150' setback and the buildings are being kept to one-story. Vice Mayor Sultanof said
he is concerned about the safety of the community, and there is no median when the
people exit from the Isles of Tamarac, just yellow lines. Vice Mayor Sultanof asked if
there would be bays on the property. Lee Lasser, Developer, addressed the
Commission's concerns and said there would be two rows of trees in front of the
building, and the front of the structure would house offices. There would be a minimal
amount of truck traffic, which would be in the rear of the property. Mr. Lasser said he
spent a lot of time with the engineering department to redesign the McNab Road side of
the property for proper turn roads and safe access. The majority of businesses will be
distribution and light manufacturing. There will be large bays, and he hopes to lease 2-
3 bays to a business at one time. Mayor Schreiber asked if the County planned to do
any widening work on McNab Road in the near future, and Community Development
Director King said he is not aware of anything. Commissioner Roberts asked about a
buffer wall between the sidewalk and 150' setback. Mr. Lasser said landscaping would
look better, and the types of businesses going into the park would not generate noise to
disturb the residents across the street. Vice Mayor Sultanof said trucks make illegal
turns on Hiatus and 108" Terrace in order to bypass traffic lights. Community
Development Director King said staff would look at the corridor and see what can be
done to alleviate the concerns of the residents, maybe looking at additional landscaping
and sound barrier for the north side of McNab Road. Commissioner Portner suggested
eliminating the first row of trees on McNab and putting up a 6' sound barrier wall with
climbing ivy. Community Development Director King said staff has been working on a
plan over the last five years and it is not envisioned that Tamarac will have walled

industrial developments. Mayor Schreiber opened the public hearing. Wally Coghlin,
4809 NW 49 Court suggested a sign on 108t" Avenue saying "No Trucks", and Mayor
Schreiber said the police should patrol more frequently. Vice Mayor Sultanof spoke
about the size of trucks that are allowed to go into the neighborhood. With no one else
wishing to speak, Mayor Schreiber closed the public hearing. On roll call Commissioner
Partner voted "yes", Vice Mayor Sultanof "yes", Commissioner Mishkin "yes",
Commissioner Roberts "yes", and Mayor Schreiber "yes". Motion carried.

the officers can request additional information as necessary. Vice Mayor Sultanof

Lauderdale, and asked if records are kept. Community Development Director King
