John Egan, Spyglass resident, voiced his concerns regarding the
environment which would be damaged by Pulte Homes as a result of
blasting.
Eugene Pollock, resident, stated his thoughts regarding Article 11
- Chapter 27 of Broward County's Code of Ordinances pertaining to
Dredge and Fill Projects. He said Article 11 should be amended
to, "Aquatic and Wetlands Resource Protection" which would protect
wetlands and waters of Broward County.
VIM Katz advised he was on the Board of Broward County
Commissioners and the Ordinance had nothing to do with the
blasting issue because the lake was not in a wetlands area.
C/M Schreiber discussed the blasting permit and said Council was
obligated to do something because residents opposed the project.

C/M Abramowitz said Council could Approve an Ordinance prohibiting
future blasting and noted he opposed blasting. He expressed his
concerns with regard to legal ramifications if the Building
Department denied the permit.
C/M Schreiber said the City faced potential lawsuits if the permit
was denied or Council changed the Code. He discussed the health,
safety and welfare of the residents and said the City Attorney
should be directed to find out what Council could do to allay the
fears of the public. It
Mayor Bender asked City Attorney Kraft to research the health,
safety and welfare aspect.
Abe Garr, Northwest Broward Coalition representative, stated he
agreed with C/M Schreiber but a waterway was involved, i.e., the
lake, and the environment would be affected. He referred to a
lake in the City of Weston that was irreparably damaged and said
Council should protect the health, safety and welfare of the
residents and not grant the permit.
C/M Abramowitz commented on the Northwest Broward Coalition which
addressed issues regarding the western areas of Tamarac. He
advised at their meeting that he opposed blasting and that the
Coalition not jeopardize themselves or the City with regard to
litigation. He said he also was concerned about the health,
safety and welfare of the residents.
Nathan Peretzman, resident, voiced his thoughts regarding C/M
Abramowitz and the 1987 Bond Refinancing.

lighting in Section 5. V/M Katz said a list was provided and
given to the City and FP&L and that Mr. Fulmines should contact

City Attorney Kraft read Temp. Reso. #6591 by Title.
C/M Schreiber MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6591, SECONDED by V/M
Katz.
C/M Abramowitz said tipping fees would increase and he referred to
the Resource Recovery Board which handled waste and garbage. He
said the south plant made a profit but the north plant had a
shortfall and the profits were used for the shortfall. He said
the tipping fee increase would have to come from Broward County
residents, recycling was mandatory and the City had no control
over the tipping fees.
Mayor Bender asked if the Broward League of Cities opposed the
increase. C/M Abramowitz said, yes, but there were insufficient
votes to overcome the contract, which indicated that fees could be
increased in the event of a shortfall. He said the Broward League
of Cities was presently renegotiating the contract.
C/M Schreiber said correspondence sent to the United State's
Attorney General regarding Waste Management had gone unanswered.
He said there was a restraint of trade because Waste Management
controlled the land and owned the incinerators and the City was
penalized because the contract with Waste Management was not
signed in a timely manner.
Mayor Bender said he had been receiving periodic up -dates.
TAPE 2
Interim City Manager, Dina McDermott, advised the Attorney
General's Office was researching the matter and another follow-up
letter would be sent out.
V/M Katz said the Recycling contract was signed by five cities and
Miami was charged half of the amount of Broward County for tipping
fees when Hurricane Andrew hit Dade County in 1992. He said even
though Waste Management added a surcharge, Dade County still paid
less than Broward County and Wheelabrator received the credits.

the Deed Restriction, Water and Sewer Developers Agreement,
Joinder Agreement with the property owners and the site plan.
V/M Katz expressed his concerns about the Water and Sewer
Developers Agreement, Mr. Bennett and the Deed Restriction
regarding the 60 single-family homes. Mr. Wohlfarth suggested all
Approvals be placed in an Escrow account subject to closing on the
property. He said the Joinder Agreement and Deed Restriction
would be taken care of because the property would be in Mr.
Bennett's name.
Les Stevens, Attorney representing Thomas Bennett, said he was not
present when the Deed Restriction was presented but said Deed
Restriction should be placed in Escrow along with a letter
regarding a lift station, site plan approval and the Zoning
Ordinance. He said the Park and Recreation Impact Fees would be
paid within 90 days of adoption of Temp. Ord. #1668 but everything
would become null and void if Impact Fees were not paid within 90
days.
Mayor Bender questioned whether the City was protected. City
Attorney Kraft said the suggestions were conceptually good but he
would have to review the documents in greater detail. Attorney
Stevens suggested granting the Approvals and scheduling a meeting
with City Attorney Kraft to draw up the paperwork on the Deed
Restriction.
Mayor Bender questioned whether Temp. Ord. #1668 could be
Approved, contingent upon Approval by the City Attorney. City
Attorney Kraft said the Ordinance could be revised to provide for

a contingency.
C/M Abramowitz said residents along Northwest 70 Avenue were
concerned about what would be constructed. Attorney Stevens
reiterated that the Deed Restriction was voluntarily presented and
he requested Council discuss the site plan.
Mayor Bender asked the size of the area and Mr. Wohlfarth
answered, 7.55 acres.
Further discussion followed on the Water and Sewer Developers
Agreement and Attorney Stevens reiterated that everything would
become null and void if Impact Fees were not paid. Discussion
followed pertaining to the property owner and the Water and Sewer
Agreement being placed in Escrow and City Attorney Kraft suggested

Developers Agreement and the Resolution were not agendized for

C/M Abramowitz voiced his concerns about the sidewalks and the
entrance into Woodmont from University Drive.
TAPE 3
Mr. Vonder Meulen discussed a letter from Regency Homes regarding
Tract 56 and he read the Findings of Fact. He said Council
reviewed a sidewalk waiver in 1992 and Regency Homes was denied a
sidewalk waiver along Pine Island Road. He discussed sidewalk and
curbing requirements, proposed drainage, maintaining the trees and
how aesthetics would be affected and said Staff recommended
Denial.
V/M Katz discussed his concerns about property lines. Mr. Vonder
Meulen discussed wall interference and rear yard setbacks and said
part of the rear yard of Lot 24 would continue through someone
else's property and a house could be built against the wall of Lot
25.
Charles Wagenheim, representing Regency Homes, said proposed homes
would comply with setback requirements and he hoped there would
not be a problem because the wall went through someone's backyard.
Discussion was held on the right--of-way and Mr. Wagenheim said a
wall had been built on property owned by Regency Homes and not

Woodmont Country Club.
Mayor Bender referred to the agreement between Regency Homes,
Woodmont Property Owners' Association and Woodmont Country Club.
Mr. Wagenheim said Regency Homes would give each owner an easement
in perpetuity for maintenance and ownership of the wall. He said
setback requirements were not necessary with a deed. V/M Katz
said Council could grant a waiver.
C/M Abramowitz said although Regency Homes would spend almost
$6,500 for sidewalks and curbing, homes would be difficult to sell
if the aesthetics were destroyed and he reiterated Staff's
recommendation to Deny the waiver. He discussed a Hold Harmless
Agreement and Mr. Wagenheim said he had no objections.
C/M Schreiber said the Zoning Code would be violated if a house
was built against a wall. Mayor Bender and Mr. Wagenheim
disagreed and said there was a distance of nine -feet between the
wall and the house.
C/M Schreiber discussed his concerns about present and future
residents, the entrance on Northwest 78 Street and a drainage
problem which could be alleviated because of the sidewalk. He
questioned whether a sidewalk could be constructed without
damaging the tree roots. Mr. Vonder Meulen said the sidewalk and
not the tree roots would be damaged.
C/M Abramowitz said he favored a sidewalk and suggested that the
Council members inspect the area of the proposed sidewalk.
C/M Schreiber said he did not want trees destroyed.
V/M Katz discussed his concerns regarding the wall. Mr. Wagenheim
reiterated that Regency Homes would give an easement in perpetuity
to each owner for maintenance of the wall and grass.
Burton Schneider, President of Woodmont Property Owners
Association, said he hoped the City would waive the sidewalk and
curbing requirements. He said zoning requirements would not be
violated but drainage would be affected if sidewalks and curbing
were put in.
Mr. Wagenheim disagreed with Mr. Schneider regarding the length of
the sidewalk.

would pay based on fixed fees for the second and third years.
C/M Schreiber questioned whether the Adjuster's responsibilities
included the investigation of claims, administrative work and paid
claims. Mr. Mitchell said Crawford and Company did administrative
work and, for an additional cost, they assigned outside
investigators regarding claims.
C/M Schreiber questioned whether the administrative work could be
done in-house. Mr. Mitchell said only if the City had the proper
license required by the State.

different Charter Office. He discussed the Ordinance, the person
who would work directly with the Attorney and compliance with the
Personnel Manual and other City policies.
C/M Abramowitz said the City Attorney and City Manager should not
be bound together. He referred to the Ordinance and questioned
why another Department Head should not be permitted to hire
members of their Staff.
V/M Katz suggested City Attorney Kraft meet with each Council
member and amend the language.
C/M Abramowitz reiterated that all hiring should be done through
Personnel. City Attorney Kraft agreed but said the Attorney

individual. Discussion followed and Mayor Bender suggested the
language be amended to indicate that the Personnel Department
would be utilized. There was further discussion with regard to
terminating an employee and interpretation of the Ordinance.
