3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - Any member of the public may speak
to any issue which is not agendized for public hearing at
this meeting. Speakers will be limited to three minutes
during this item and at public hearings. There will be a
thirty (30) minute aggregate time limit for this item, and
speakers are encouraged to sign up in advance with the City
Clerk prior to their participation.
Jesse Sompolinsky, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, expressed his
concern regarding the signs in the median on NW 71 Place which
read, "No parking, Right -of -Way" and asked what right-of-way
means.
Mayor Abramowitz said the right-of-way is land that is deeded and
dedicated to a governmental agency which does not belong to the
agency but they have the right to make it a right-of-way.
Mr. Sompolinsky asked why C/M Katz promulgated this sign placement
when this is C/W Glasser's district and C/M Katz said there were
numerous requests by the residents in Kings Point for the County
to place these signs.
C/W Glasser said she had not received any calls regarding this
except for a call received during the holiday for parking
availability and it was handled. She said the County needs to be
readdressed in order to remove these signs and it would be
beneficial if some of the residents from the Isles of Tamarac and
Kings Point attend this meeting.
Mayor Abramowitz said when the road is rutted, Kings Point is
cited by Code Enforcement. He said the County can make this sign
half its size.
C/W Glasser said she will attempt to resolve this situation.
Bob Thomas, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, said he has
photographs of the Kings Point bus in the swale area creating ruts
in the ground.
Mr. Thomas expressed his concern regarding the speeding on NW 71
Place.
Anthony Grimaldi, resident of Heathgate Sunflower, expressed his
objections to the City lease/purchasing the Mapgraphix system,
which is Item 5 on the Agenda.
Terry Hobmeier, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, expressed her
concerns regarding the speeding on NW 71 Place.
Ms. Hobmeier expressed her appreciation for the concrete shoulder
to prevent trucks from going into the empty lot opposite the Isles
of Tamarac on McNab Road near NW 108 Terrace.
Ms. Hobmeier requested that Council consider the garbage pick-up
for Cathay's Chinese Restaurant be reduced from six times per week
to four due to the lack of business.

money. He said this was presented during the budget process and
was thoroughly discussed.

C/W Glasser.
Ms. Carpenter said this is an application by the City of Tamarac
brought forth by the Community Development Department to resubmit
the City's Land Use Plan for certification to the Broward County
Planning Council. She said the County found several areas where
the City's map did not match the County's map. She said some were
brought forward to Council as Land Use Map amendments, some as tax
amendments and this one can be changed through the zoning process.
Ms. Carpenter said in 1982, the City and F & R (currently
Leadership Housing, Inc.) had agreed on Stipulation 13 to the
Weissing Court Order which required that the parcel be rezoned to
B--5 and the City did the rezoning in good faith; however, to
accomplish that rezoning, the property was designated residential.
She said the City should have included the words, "using
commercial flexibility" in the ordinance.
Ms. Carpenter said the County requires that the City amend this
ordinance to include those three words. She said this is a
housekeeping measure.
C/M Katz asked if this will allow the commercial zoning to Nob
Hill Road to take in the sales office to Nob Hill Road and Ms.
Carpenter agreed.

Mayor Abramowitz OPENED and CLOSED the Public Hearing with no

C/M Schumann asked the name of present owner of the land and Ms.

Ms. Carpenter said the County Charter, Environmental Provisions,

Code of Ordinances where approval of the zoning on an occupational
license request is currently given to the Supervisor of
Occupational Licenses and changing that to the Director of
Community Development. She said the reason for this is to separate

APPROVED (Continued from Page 4)
City Manager Kelly said this is an expensive piece of equipment
which will provide a worthwhile service to the City and is an
investment for the future.
C/W Glasser asked if this equipment will become outdated and Ms.
Carpenter said this there are annual upgrades to the software for
this system.
Ms. Carpenter said there is a two year lead time during which the
information is gathered and entered into the system.
C/W Glasser asked if this will be mostly utilized for new
construction and Ms. Carpenter said the Mapgraphix system will
provide the Real Scan information which is the property
appraiser's data and other information including the locations of
water and sewer lines and other such data, which can be accessed
with expediency and accuracy.
C/M Schumann asked if this system will be obsolete by the time the
information is entered and Ms. Carpenter said the equipment that
the City currently has in place is not obsolete and can be
upgraded when necessary.

Mayor Abramowitz asked if the Community Development Department has
two Macintosh computers on location that can be used for this
system and Ms. Carpenter said they can be upgraded to utilize
this. She said the computers that are located in the office are
utilized eight hours per day at present. Ms. Carpenter said if one
of these computers is taken to use for the Mapgraphix system, the
need for another computer will still exist.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City will be spending money to save
money in the future and Ms. Carpenter said it is difficult to
state that there will be a direct, identifiable savings of money
but it will allow the departments to act more efficiently and to
make better decisions, which is where the cost savings is.
C/M Katz said the saving of Staff time is a cost savings.

6. MOTION TO ADOPT Te a_ Reso_ „#6201 approving a revised
site plan reflecting a vestibule addition for PUBLIX at
SUNSHINE PLAZA, 4121 W. Commercial Boulevard, and also
approving a Declaration of Restrictions and granting an
exception from platting.
RESOLUTION R-92-3-PASSED
City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Reso. #6201 by title.
C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6201, SECONDED by
V/M Bender.
Ms. Carpenter said the applicant, Publix, in the Sunshine Plaza,
proposes to construct about 1,500 square foot vestibule in front
of and attached to the existing Publix at the corner of Commercial
Boulevard and State Road 7. She said the additional parking spaces
required for the 1,500 square feet are located in the rear of the
property and a new facade and sidewalk will be constructed.
Ms. Carpenter said the property is not platted. She said due to
the extension being attached to an existing building and less than
100% of the existing building, the applicant is not required to
plat under the County regulations; however, the applicant must
obtain an exception to platting from the Tamarac Code as a
condition to the site plan approval and this resolution includes
that language.
Ms. Carpenter said the criteria that the applicant must meet is
that there is an undue hardship to plat, that granting exception
would not set a precedent and there would be no detriment to the
community, that the site is adequately served by community
facilities and that no additional easements or rights -of -way are
required and no recreational lands are required.
Ms. Carpenter said Staff and the Planning Commission found that
the applicant has met this criteria and meets the criteria for
platting exception. She said the shopping center was built so long
ago that it was not required to be platted. She said it is in a
compact deferral area and in order to proceed with this in compact
deferral, there has to be a restrictive covenant running with the
land which restricts the uses to vestibule uses and not occupancy
uses.

Ms. Carpenter said the Site Plan and Plat Review Committee and the
Planning Commission recommended approval. She said the applicant
has paid traffic impact fees and the project is in compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Abramowitz requested that whatever is necessary to be done
to improve the City and fill the empty shopping centers should be
done.

Mayor Abramowitz said the City took down some existing light poles
when the tennis courts were built for future use. He asked if
there is a possibility that the City can get a better deal by
combining these projects.
Mr. Couzzo said there is hope to do this while this contractor is
on the site and be able to utilize the existing poles that were
removed at Tamarac Park in order to light the tennis courts. He
said those poles cannot be used for the sports field lighting. He
said if Council directs Staff to move forward and negotiate with
the low bidder, there is a possibility.
City Manager Kelly said the only option Council has in order to do
that, is to reject these bids and do a rebid combining those
Projects. He recommended approval of this as is based on the loss
of time and costs involved.

RESOLUTION R-92-5-PASSED
City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Reso. #6203 by title.
V/M Bender MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6203, SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said in cooperating with the Finance Department's
Purchasing Division, the City has gone out for a collective bid
with the City of Coral Springs. Last year, during the City's own
bidding, the price being paid was $84.70 per ton. He said the
collective bid price this year is $80.38 per ton which is $4.32
less than last year, a 5% reduction.
Mr. Couzzo said this is a Coral Springs bid and if they renew it
over the course of the next two years, the City can also take
advantage of the same price over the next two years.

Mayor Abramowitz said in the interest of saving money, for the
January 15, 1992 town meeting regarding the Bus Depot proposal,
Herb Hayes, President of the Presidents Council, announced the
meeting and the various developments have responded. He requested
that everyone should pass the word regarding this.
City Manager Kelly said on this agenda, Council approved several
sets of minutes from past Council meetings. He said the minutes
have become a significant burden to the Clerk's office and a
costly one to the City with all of the boards and committees that
the City has. He recommended that Council consider limiting
committee meetings to a certain timeframe, not including the
Planning Commission, Charter Board, Code Enforcement Board or
Council. He recommended adopting tight agendas for the various
other boards and committees.
City Manager Kelly said he has received requests from individual
members of those committees regarding political involvement with
campaigners. He said it is inappropriate as committee members to
get involved in any of the local campaigns, but as individuals,
they maintain the right to support whomever they wish to as long
as they are not representing that board or committee.
City Manager Kelly said the Charter Board has submitted their bill
for their attorney and the fees are $848.75 and requested approval
for the processing of this for payment.

City Manager Kelly said there have been several requests from
residents for street sweeping. He said a determination needs to be
made by Council on several issues, including the retention ponds.
City Manager Kelly said all of the attorneys who applied for the
City Attorney position that Council requested be contacted have
been contacted and have indicated that they are still available
and interested in the position.
City Manager Kelly said he will attend a recycling meeting on
Friday, January 10, 1992 with the other cities and will update
Council with information from that meeting as soon as it is
available.
City Manager Kelly said he has tentatively negotiated with MAS
regarding the franchise audits and this will need to be addressed
by Council soon.
Mayor Abramowitz said some of these committees address items that
are not directly related to their business, which entails having a
secretary present and costs the City money. He said he feels that
every committee should be mandated to go into the meeting with an
agenda to follow, which is the responsibility of the Chairperson.
City Manager Kelly said some committees are meeting without a
quorum, conducting workshops until the quorum is present and then
holding their regular meeting which is not legal and cannot be
allowed to continue. He said he will contact all of the Chairs of
the committees and boards and advise them of this illegality.
With no further business, Mayor Abramowitz ADJOURNED this meeting
at 8:20 p.m.
