INTRODUCTION
1. PRESENTATION by City Manager Kelly of a five-year award to
RUTH KREBS of the Finance Department.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
PRESENTATION was made.
City Manager Kelly presented a five-year service award to
Ruth Krebs of the Finance Department and he thanked her
for her services.
2. PRESENTATION by Donald Henderson, Florida Department of Trans-
portation District Four Director of Major Projects, on the
Interstate 95 Expansion Project.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
PRESENTATION was made by Beverly Stryker
Beverly Stryker, Public Information Officer for the I-95
Expansion Project, said the Project would consist of 46
miles starting from Ramada Road, Boca Raton, to State
Road 836 in Miami. She said the purpose was to widen
I-95 from 6 lanes to 8, 10, 12 and 15 lanes. She said
there would be commuter lanes throughout Broward County
allowing a minimum of three passengers per vehicle.
Ms. Stryker said the purpose of this expansion was to
solve the overcrowded problem on I-95. She said I-95 was
originally designed to handle 100,000 cars per day, and
now, the Interstate carried 147,000 cars per day and;
during the tourist season, approximately 200,000 cars per
day. She said when construction was completed, the
Interstate would allow a maximum capacity of 220,000 cars
per day.
Ms. Stryker said the cost of the project would be
$400,000,000.00 over the next 2 years and 90% was Federal
funded and 10% was State funded. She said there were
Page 1
2/22/89
ways to avoid the construction such as using the Sawgrass
Expressway, Florida Turnpike, University Drive and State
Road 7.
Ms.,Stryker said there would be three lanes open during
the construction; however, the lanes would be narrowed
because of the concrete barrier walls. She said there
would be a lot of congestion on the cross streets over
and under the Interstate.
Ms. Stryker said construction began in Broward County on
January 9, 1989 from Sunrise Boulevard to Sample Road.
She said there were glare screens in place to reduce the
problems with curious drivers. She said there were
service patrols available sponsored by 'the Department of
Transportation to assist removal of the stranded
motorists. She said the tow trucks were white and have a
I-95 logo on the side.
Ms. Stryker said the Department of Transportation was
installing Accident Investigation sites located on most
of the off -ramps. She said vehicles in accidents or
having problems would immediately be towed to these
sites.
Ms. Stryker said the residents should consider a 50%
delay in their normal traveling time. She said by June,
1989, all of I-95 would be under construction in Broward
County. She said the Department of Transportation had
other transit options such as the Tri--Rail. She said
Gold Coast Commuter Service was going to offered which
was a State Agency to promote car and van pooling and
transit options which provide the public with alternate
routes.
Ms. Stryker said the Department of Transportation was
providing public information for the media by informing
them about the lane closures and construction. She said
there would be speaking engagements in the various Cities
and available assistance for inquiries. She said that
questions and concerns would be handled by the Department
of Transportation at 771-9500. She said all of the
services mentioned would be free to the public.
At this time, a video tape was shown regarding the I-95
project and the Department of Transportation's
suggestions.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the residents had any
questions.
Joseph Schreiber, Resident of Clairmont/Kings Point,
asked if the Department of Transportation did a survey
regarding the daily destination points of the travelers.
Ms. Stryker said she was not aware of this type of study
being done; however, traffic volume counts were
conducted.
Norman Peck, Resident at Section 14, asked if the I-95
Construction Organization coordinated with the Florida
Turnpike and Mrs. Stryker replied, no.
Ms. Stryker said the Department of Transportation had
various consultants such as Gold Coast Commuter Service
working with them'on this project and the project was the
second largest road rebuilding project in the Country.
Page 2
2/22/89
Mr. Peck said the Department of Transportation may be
more successful in keeping the vehicles off of I-95 if
they did not increase the rates on the Florida Turnpike.
V/M Stelzer said the three most popular destinations from
the area were the Fort Lauderdale and the Miami Airports
and Miami area. He asked what routes should be taken for
these areas.
Ms. Stryker suggested that University Drive be taken to
State Road 84 and then Interstate 595 to Fort Lauderdale
Airport. She said it would be worth it to go out of way
to get to Miami rather than deal with the construction of
Interstate 595.
C/M Rohr asked if the timing on the Tri-Rail has been
corrected and Ms. Stryker said Tri-Rail was presently
working on the timing matter.
The City Council thanked Ms. Stryker for her
presentation.

OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
4. OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
Irving Katz, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, asked
if the residents would be asked to ration water in the
near future and if there was a study done regarding the
needed water in the future.
Mayor Abramowitz said that the City Manager would comment
on this matter during the City Manager Report.
Melanie Reynolds, Resident of Sands Point, had concerns
with the City Council abiding to the Charter. She said
that the Charter indicated the Public Information Board
to be a Committee and she suggested that if the Charter
would not be adhered to regarding the matter, the
provision should be eliminated from the Charter.
Norman Peck, Resident, suggested that the calendars be
given to the residents after March 1, 1989, rather than
being sold for $1.00. He said that the County erected
vehicle counters in the area of 70 Avenue near the
Clubhouse. He said he contacted the Mayor regarding the
counters being erected in the wrong area and,two hours
later, the counters were removed. He asked if there
would be counters erected in the correct place.
V/M Stelzer said the counters were in the correct place
because the cross traffic had to be monitored. He said
if there was not enough cross traffic, traffic signs
would not be erected.
Mayor Abramowitz said he used to assist the residents
with these types of complaints; however, because of a
past problem, he recommended that the residents contact
their Section Presidents with their concerns so that the
information could be forwarded to the City Council.
George Gottfried, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills,
said the City Council recently discussed the possibility
of the City handling their own traffic sign
implementation. He suggested that the City Council not
consider this type of business because of the liability
involved and the fact that the residents were already
paying the County to handle it.
Mayor Abramowitz said a City Council Workshop would be
held on this matter because it was a very important
issue.

C/M Hoffman read into the record a letter he sent on January
10, 1989 to Senators Bob Graham, Connie Mack and Ted
Kennedy, Congressmen Harry Johnson, E. Clay Shaw, Larry
Smith, Claude Pepper and then, President -Elect Bush. He
said the letter pertained to the problems with the
funding provisions in the Catastrophic Coverage Act.
(SEE ATTACHMENT #1)
C/M Hoffman said he received reply from the White House,
Congressman Johnson and Senators Mack and Graham. He
said they all pledged to consider the matter and, if
possible, take action to review it.
Mayor Abramowitz announced that on March 20, 1989 at 1:00
P.M., in the Council Chambers, Congressman Harry Johnston
would be holding a Town Hall Meeting on any issues of
concern.
Mayor Abramowitz said on March 22, 1989 at the City
Council meeting at 9:00 A.M., Senator Peter Weinstein and
Representatives Peter Deutsch and Ben Graber would be
attending the meeting.
C/M Rohr reported that the City Manager was contacting other
waste collection companies regarding a recycling program.
He said the County was mandated to have a recycling
program in place by July 1, 1989; however, the Cities
would not be mandated. He asked the City Council to
consider as a last resort the possibility of handling the
recycling program themselves. He suggested that the City
Manager be asked to investigate the costs and procedures
needed for the City to have their own recycling business.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Manager if he was
prepared to report to the City Council and residents on
the recycling matter and City Manager Kelly said a report
would be given at the March, 8, 1989 City Council
meeting.
C/M Rohr said at the January 25, 1989 City Council
meeting, he requested the answers to Joseph Schreiber's
questions be read at this City Council meeting. He read
the following:
"In response to your questions of the January 25, 1989 City
Council meeting, regarding comparative figures in the current
Budget, please be advised that the figures were not included
in the final Budget document but were included through the
Budgetary process."
"In response to your question regarding Utility Funds and
General Funds, the funds have never been co -mingled. All
funds were allocated by line Item and the accounting process
was in strict compliance with the Government Finance Accounting
Organization (GFAO), uniform charts of accounts of the State of
Florida and the City Charter."
C/M Rohr asked that the answers to the resident's
questions be answered at a City Council meeting.
C/M Bender reported that on January 19, 1989, the Department
o _Env rY onmental Regulations passed a Resolution and he
read the following into the record:

"The Department of Environmental Regulations now recognizes
that there is evidence of a potential for adverse health
effects on the public with further research being needed to
determine the extent of these effects and the exposure levels
at which the effects occur."
C/M Bender said this information was being sent to the
Governor.

6. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Kelly reported that the water pressure in the
homes was reduced in September, 1988 from 80 PSI to 65
PSI to conserve water. He said the water consumption was
reduced by approximately 15% and, in monitoring the well
level, the Utilities/Engineering Director indicated that
the well level in the City was about the same level as it
was last year at this time.
City Manager Kelly said the City did not need to conserve
water; however, water conservation was important;
therefore, he recommended that voluntary compliance and
rationing be instituted in the City. He suggested the
even number homes water their lawns on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday and odd number homes water their lawns on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday and all homes refrain from
watering on Sundays.
City Manager Kelly said he recently visited the
Everglades Dike site and found that there was a lot of
tinder which was very frightening. He said the long
range water conservation was studied and the City was in
very good shape.
V/M Stelzer asked if the conservation should be done with
the canal water as well as processed water and City
Manager Kelly replied, yes.
Mayor Abramowitz suggested that the residents comply with
the water conservation regardless of where they obtain
their water.

Kelly Carpenter -Craft, City Planner, said the City
Council received staff's report for Items 17 and 18 on
the Agenda. She said this Item was a Public Hearing for
the Special Exception and the Site Plan request would be
presented later in the meeting.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the property was zoned M-1
(Light Industrial) and the zoning to the north was
industrial, south - County industrial, east - Fort
Lauderdale Executive Airport and west- industrial. She
said the proposed use was located in a 1-foot draw -down
area of a Wellfield. She said the applicant was
requesting a wholesale dry cleaners which was an
allowable use in the LI-1 zoning district. She said
Chapter 28-199 of the City Code provided that each
application for approval of the special exception be
accompanied by such other information required by the
City Council, Planning Commission or staff. She sad the
Petitioner submitted the Site Plan which would be
considered during Item 17 on the Agenda. She said staff
recommended approval of the Special Exception in
December, 1988, and the Planning Commission recommended
approval in 1988. She said the City Council approved the
special exception on January 25, 1989 subject to: 1) Gold
Coast Formalwear obtaining a permit from Broward County
in accordance with the Wellfield Protection Ordinance of
the County and City and that dry cleaning would be for
Gold Coast Formalwear only.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the applicant repetitioned the
City to amend the Petition to read, 2) "Gold Coast would
not operate a retail dry cleaner at this location and was
permitted to use the premises for wholesale dry cleaning
plant (to wit: not open to the general public) provided
there was no drop off to or pick-up from the premises by
parties other than Gold Coast."
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said a letter was received from the
applicant's Attorney responding to the City Council's
concerns and was in the City Council's packets. She
recommended approval of the special exception with the
amended conditions.
Mayor Abramowitz Opened the Public Hearing.
Bernard Newman, Resident, recommended this Item be denied
because it was a threat to the wellfield. He said he did
not understand how the City Planner could approve such a
Special Exception.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Planning Department was obliged
to approve an Item if all of the required criteria was
met.
Irving Katz said the City Council denied this Item
previously until the traffic of business and the
possibility of contamination was investigated. He asked
if these matters were investigated.
Mayor Abramowitz said the owner of Gold Coast Formalwear
met individually with each City Councilmember and
submitted a packet with information and a map of the
area. He said he visited the site on Monday and found
that the business was not near a residential area but in
Page 8
2/22/89
an industrial complex and warehouse area. He said one of
the provisions required by the City.Council was that the
Petitioner received Broward County's approval regarding
the Wellfield Protection Ordinance. He said if Broward
County denied the Petitioner because the compliance with
their Wellfield Protection Ordinance was not evident, the
City's approval for the Special Exception would be null
and void. He said if the business was located in a
residential area, he would not approve this request.
Vickie Beech, Resident, asked if the business was in
compliance with the Environmental Quality Control Board.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said that this approval was not
given by the Environmental Quality Control Board as of
yet; however, if the Petition was denied, the City's
approval of the Special Exception would be null and void.
C/M Rohr read into the record the County's comments on
the matter. (SEE ATTACHMENT #2)
C/M Rohr said the comments indicate that having this type
of business in the area was not a threat to the
wellf field.
Joseph Schreiber, Resident, asked who made the comments
regarding the business not being a threat to the area and
C/M Rohr said there were several agencies who indicated
that there was no threat.
Mayor Abramowitz said if the City Council approved the
Special Exception and the County did not, the Special
Exception would be null and void.
City Attorney Doody said the backup indicated what
agencies were contacted regarding the matter.
TAPE 4
Dale Lee, Acting Chief Building official, said the
applicant had to take the plans to Broward County's
Environmental Quality Control Board and the other
agencies stamp and approve the documents before they were
submitted to the City's Building Department. He said he
felt confident that the business would not take place
without the County's approval.
TAPE 5
Anthony Grimaldi, Resident, said the Item was before the
Planning Commission in December, 1988, and the area was
strictly an industrial area. He said the Planning
Commission took this into consideration during the review
process, supported the action and recommended approval.
He said the Petitioner has complied with all of the
requirements and he suggested that the City Council
approve the Special Exception.
Bernard Newman said the amount of chemicals used and
stored would be more for a retail business as opposed to
a wholesale business. He said regardless of whose
approval, the potential for the spoiling of the water
still existed.
V/M Stelzer asked if there was another dry cleaning
business in the area.
Mrs. Carpenter --Craft said Coyt operated a 7,000 square
foot dry cleaning establishment in the area.
Page 9
2/22/89
V/M Stelzer said this was never indicated during the
discussions and Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said she did not
know where the establishment was located by the wellfield
or what type of permitting procedure was done. Mrs.
Carpenter -Craft said the County reviewed all of the
existing businesses during the creation of the Wellfield
Protection Ordinance.
City Attorney Doody said the Wellfield Protection
Ordinance did not have a grandfathering provision. He
said everyone was mandated to comply with the Ordinance.
During the Vote, C/M Hoffman said after listening to the
discussions he felt that the environment was too fragile
to take chances with; therefore, he would rather stop
this type of establishment now rather than find out at a
later date that it was a mistake.
Mayor Abramowitz Closed the Public Hearing with no
further response.

Melanie Reynolds, Resident, said the Public Information

She said the Charter provision indicated that the Charter
could not be changed without a Referendum. She said
changing the Ordinance to provide for a Public

the Charter indicated that the Board needed a minimum of

V/M Stelzer asked if the Charter indicated the number of

Mayor Abramowitz said this type of action would not be

intent of the action which is to recognize the volunteers
of the City, the people find the intent insulting.
REPORTS
5. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
V/M Stelzer said yesterday was a memorable day in the City;
however, there was no mention of it. He said during the
Presidents Council meeting yesterday there was a special
meeting of the Board of Directors called. He said in
1972 a suit was filed by the Tamarac Homeowners
Association against Berhing because homes were sold to
the residents subject to rent being paid on a
recreational development.
V/M Stelzer said the Tamarac Homeowners Association filed
a suit against Berhing because it was a violation of the
Sherman Anti -Trust. He said it took 16 years for the
settlement to be paid. He said $145,000.00 was
distributed to 28 Section Presidents. He said the
Tamarac Presidents Council worked very diligently on this
matter and should be congratulated for doing such a good
job.
V/M Stelzer said the City Council received a flyer from
CH2M Hill regarding the Storm Water Management Utility
Program that was being created for Gainseville, Florida.
He said there were indications that the State and County
was going to create a Storm Water Management Program
which meant that the residents have to pay a fee. He
said the fee for the State and County would be a lot more
than what the City would require; however, he felt that
there would not be Storm Water Management Program created
by the City for the residents.
Mayor Abramowitz said there have been several important
matters occurring in the City the last two weeks and the
City Manager was very busy. He said V/M Stelzer's
suggestion regarding a Storm Water Management Program was
very good and as soon as it was possible the matter would
be reviewed.
V/M Stelzer suggested that the investigation be expedited
because the County may have a program in place very soon.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Manager to begin the
investigation on having a Storm Water Management Program
as soon as possible.
C/M Hoffman said he would like the Report to include what
the cost would be for the average condominium.
Maxor Abramowitz - No Report.

City Manager Kelly said at the January 25, 1989 City
Council meeting, approval was given to transfer monies
from the Contingency Fund to the Police Department
Account for additional vehicles. He said the timing was
crucial because of the preparation of those vehicles and
the transfer was approximately $47,013.00; however, the
bids were received and the total amount needed was
$44,286.00, which left a balance of $2,700.00 in the
Account. He recommended approval of this Item.
Mayor Abramowitz said the lowest cost was not necessarily
the best because the quality of the items had to be
considered. He asked if the quality was good for this
bid and City Manager Kelly replied, yes.
City Manager Kelly said there is a Bid Specification
Committee and Ken Friedrichs, who is very qualified, was

* C/M Hoffman.
Mr. Foy said Broward County advised the City that they
planned to construct turning lanes on McNab Road at the
intersection of Pine Island Road. He said the
construction would begin in June, 1989, and the City has
asbestos cement water lines in the area which needed to
be replaced before Broward County would proceed with
their construction.
Mr. Foy said when the Budget was prepared for this
project it was intended to limit the construction area to
the intersection; however, when the actual plans were
created it was determined that there was more asbestos in
the area than anticipated. He said it would be in the
City's best interest to proceed with the replacement of
the additional piping for the construction. He said the
piping replacement would be 15,000 linear feet and the
cost would be $139,000.00.
Page 13
2/22/89
Mr. Foy said the funds were available in the Shaker
Village Project because the repairs expected in the area
were not as great as anticipated. He recommended
approval of this Item.
V/M Stelzer said he was asked by a Representative of
Shaker Village if the transfer would affect any repairs
that may have to be made at Shaker Village.
Mr. Foy said this transfer would not affect the area
because the repairs would be handled immediately.
C/M Hoffman asked if there would be a problem if the
extra replacement was not done. He said the funds were
not available, the replacement would not take place.
Mr. Foy said the piping was substandard asbestos cement
and would have to be replaced.
C/M Hoffman had concerns with the replacement not being
budgeted before this time and Mr. Foy said he would try
to find the money if it was not available because it
would be in the best interest of the City to replace the
piping during this construction as opposed to doing it at
a later date, which would require additional funding.
Mayor Abramowitz said the County's Trafficways Map
indicated that Rock Island Road from Commercial Boulevard
to Oakland Park Boulevard would be widened in the year
2014. He said the City recently received communication
from the County that they intended to start this project
in 1990. He said City would be responsible for
relocating the piping in the area at a cost of
approximately three million dollars.

by Colony West Country Club to install the previously

would be solely responsible for it. He recommended that
this Item be approved.

C/M Bender said the Governor and his Cabinet act as a
Siting Board under the Transmission Lines Siting Act
within the State. He said the City is requesting that
they implement the Resolution of the Florida Environment
Regulation Commission and locate any new corridors in an
area that are not in proximity to the planned Urban areas
of the City. He said the City was asking the Governor to
please comply with the Rules and Regulations of the
Department of Environmental Regulations requiring the
transmission lines of 500,000 volts proposed by Florida
Power & Light to be placed outside of the City and away
from the residents.
Vickie Beech, Resident, said the City Council approved
the purchase of a Dosimeter for use by C/M Bender and she
asked if the equipment was used and, if so, what the
results were.
Mayor Abramowitz asked C/M Bender to report on this
matter at the March 8, 1989 City Council meeting. He
said the City Manager was called to a meeting yesterday
regarding Florida Power & Light's proposal for the
500,000 volt transmission line.
City Manager Kelly said several months ago the
Representatives from Florida Power & Light met with him
regarding the location of their Substation in the south
area of Land Section 7. He said they asked that 40 acres
be sold to them by the owner and 20 acres would be
landscaped and 20 acres used for the Substation. He said
he was adamant about this matter and informed Florida
Power & Light that the City Council would not approve of
this type of development.
City Manager Kelly said Florida Power & Light paid no
taxes and, if they were located in the area, the City
would lose the tax base that would be available if there
were other businesses located on the property.
City Manager Kelly said Florida Power & Light, the
Attorneys and the owners of Land Section 7 met with him
and agreed that Florida Power & Light would not be
pursuing purchase of the land; however, decided to pursue
the land near their existing property by the Sawgrass
Expressway.
Page 15
2/22/89
City Manager Kelly said yesterday he attended a meeting
at the Government Building in Fort Lauderdale involving
the Sawgrass Expressway Representatives. He said they
Agendized discussions with Florida Power & Light
regarding the recent proposal; however, the proposal was
more involved than what had been originally discussed.
He said the Sawgrass Expressway Representatives were
reviewing appraisals done on land proposed for use.
He said the Sawgrass Expressway Representatives were not
satisfied with the review appraisal because it indicated
that the land was worth less than what it was when it was
bought 6 years ago.
City Manager Kelly said he presented his objections;
however, he was informed that his objections were
agitating the Citizens of Tamarac and inflammatory to the
Body because they were being accountable for being solely
responsible for the location of the Substation and
proposed power lines.
City Manager Kelly said he asked what the criteria was
for the selected site.and he was not given an answer. He
said they informed him that regardless of where the power
lines were located, the Substation was needed in the area
and, when he asked why, an answer was not given. He said
the matter was Tabled because they wanted another
appraisal of the property which would be submitted in two
weeks.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City would have to fight this
matter every way possible to prevent this Substation. He
said Tamarac already had a Substation in the City and
having Substations continuously placed in the City would
do more harm than good.
TAPE 6
C/M Bender said the Substation on Southgate Boulevard was
placed there because Florida Power & Light indicated that
it would prevent blackouts in Tamarac; however,
approximately 80% of the electricity went to Coral
Springs. He said the proposed Substation would not
benefit the City either.

additional engineering services in connection with the

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED.
City Attorney Doody announced that the Agenda should
read, "An Amendment to the Agreement" and he read the
Agenda Item into the record.
City Attorney Doody said this Amendment was to allow
additional engineering services from Scharf & Associates
to plat the proposed property which would be used for the
Multipurpose Center.
City Manager Kelly said the Multipurpose Center would be
on land presently owned by the School Board; however, the
City would be swapping land with the School Board for the
property. He said the School Board was not required to
plat their property; however, if the City would be owning
the property platting would have to take place at the
City's expense. He said the City and School Board would
be making a Delegation Request to Broward County asking
that a Building Permit be issued to the City to begin
construction while the platting process was occurring.

i feel 'Chat I must express m1 di ;n�i�:. anal. the dismay acid irc �::,f the
thousands of retired sen.:ior-_i,�_izenss I r:._L�resent, at the grass,-
rcot: _; level, in the City of Tamarac. I :`_-efer to the funding
of r_:?e so --called "Catastrophic Coverage Act."
x.t u t _me when it is the avowed policy of our gov�;�rnmcnt riot to
raises taxes, it appears that only senior citizens, paopl.e living
nn f ixeu inccmes , and thc)se least able to afford it, are excluded
yrom i1-.i:3 poliC�!.
A few v ars ago, an administration. pledged to a program of "no tax
increases" placed a tax on Social Security Benefits for the first
time in the k,,istory of that program. This gross injustice was per•-
petiated with 1.4.ttl.e pu)::Iic outcry at the time, and now while we
were busy watching the Lips of the President -Elect pledging "1.Lc new
taxes," the gc,aernmeent stabbed us in the back agai.n with an uricon-
sc.ionable new increase in our Income Taxes, and limi.te<'i that:
i:acreasei, once again, to th,1,, elderly.
rfnere i.s no c.oubt about the fact that a better pr�acjram of 3:t a1.rYi
delivery services is needed, and the new cover..,i(e .iiay sae a partial
ar1>>r: r to the problem, but please do not p+?a.:mit the entire bur(:.Ien
tc Le placed on the :Iaacks of the peopl.ra le_!I t able to afford it.
Tease, I implore use your gc:ad offices to &&lay ,.-he implement:
.Lion of the Catastrophic Coverage mill until a more equitable
method can be found to finance it. Certainly, when an administra-
tion introduces a budget of 1.15 TRILLION dollars, some fair way
s}:oulcl be found to supply needed health services without bankrupting
people who arF� retired and can not increase their income, but.:. must
Tower their living standard of life in order to pay the tax i.ncrease.

This letter is being submitted to address certain questions that were raised at
the Council meeting held on January 25, 1989.
PETITIONER:
Gold Coast Formalwear has been operating a wholesale men's formal wear
operation in the City of Tamarac for close to five years. Mr. Chuck Walters,
the President of Gold Coast, is a resident of the City of Tamarac residing at
Woodmont Country Club.
USS:
The special exception requested was for the operation of a dry cleaning
facility. The special exception is for a new facility to be constructed in an
existing bay of 1950 square feet, of which 450 square feet is being utilized for
an office.
IOCMON:
The subject premises are located at 5308 NW 22 Avenue in Tamarac Industrial
Park. The property is immediately adjacent to the easterly boundary line of
the City of Tamarac. A location map is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
To the east of the property is the city line and the beginning of Ft.
Lauderdale. Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport is located immediately to the
east of the property. A picture of the easterly exposure is attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
To the south of the property is the city line and the beginning of Ft.
Lauderdale. Immediately to the south is located vacant property (not within
city limits). A picture of the southerly exposure is attached hereto as
Exhibit C.
To the north of the property is Tamarac Industrial Park. A picture of
the northerly exposure is attached as Exhibit D.
To the west of the property is Tamarac Industrial Park. A picture of
the westerly exposure is attached as Exhibit E.
(7MNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT:
Gold Coast met with Community Planning and Development. At the first site plan
review meeting, it was made very clear that Gold Coast was going to operate a
wholesale dry cleaning facility. Environmental, traffic, fire, zoning,
planning, building, and engineering officials all gave comments. These
comments were complied with and the committee adopted a recommendation that the
special exception be approved.
PLANNING COMMISSION: The ccmnission had a public hearing and meeting on
December 21, 1989 and also gave their recommendation that the special
exception be granted.
CITY COUNCIL: The City Council had a public hearing on January 11, 1989 and
approved the resolution with two stipulations:
1) Gold Coast Formalwear shall be required to obtain a permit from
Broward County in accordance with the Wellfield Protection Ordinance of Broward
County and the City of Tamarac.
2) the facility would be for Gold Coast use only.
The resolution drafted contained language different than that passed by
council. Counsel for Gold Coast spoke with the City Attorney and Mr. Mike Von
Hofen about the language. It was recommended that the matter be taken back to
Council to amend the resolution.
At the Council meeting held on January 25, 1989, a number of questions were
raised and the petitioner was asked to work with the planning department to get
additional information for the benefit of Council. A motion was made and
passed to reconsider the matter at the next meeting.
Petitioner and the undersigned met with Mr. Mike Von Hofen to review what
additional information Council would need. Specifically, there were three
areas of concern: 1) environmental impact, 2) traffic and 3) volume. In regard
to said three areas, Gold Coast submits the following information:
1. Environmental Impact:
a. The City's fire official requested spec sheets on all
hazardous materials to be utilized. Same were submitted and there was no
adverse comments from the planning department.
b. Mr. Walters contacted Mr. Shair, the head of Broward
County Environmental Services and Engineers. Mr. Shair said the County had no
objection to a wholesale dry cleaning plant being located in Tamarac Industrial
Park. He noted that the area is properly zoned for it, an industrial park is an
appropriate location for such a facility and there are no environmental
problems in regard to wellfield 3 or otherwise.
c. Mr. Walters contacted Mr. Jim Breitenstein of the Broward
F
County Environmental Control Board who again stated that the County had nu
problem with a wholesale dry cleaning plant being located in Tamarac Industrial
Park.
d. Petitioner contacted Mr. Charles Walther of the Water
Resources Management Division of Broward County. Said county official advised
that the County had no problem with a wholesale dry cleaning plant being located
in Tamarac Industrial Park.
All County agencies did not foresee a problem subject to review of the building
plan for such a facility complying with the City's building code and regulations
therefor.
It is noted that the City has very strict building requirements for a wholesale
dry cleaning plant so as to eliminate any adverse affects on the environment or
neighboring areas. Naturally, petitioner will have to submit plans that so
comply with the City's requirements.
Based upon the above, the facility, once constructed, would be
environmentally safe and in compliance with City, County and State
requirements. All residents within a 300 foot radius were contacted and no
objections were received by any of them in regard to a dry cleaning plant of this
type being permitted in Tamarac Industrial Park.
2. Traffic:
A material increase in traffic is not expected. The planning department had
requested a special fire lane and loading areas to be designated on the site
plan. These requests were complied with and so reflected on the site plan.
Gold Coast has agreed that only Gold Coast trucks will be coming and going from
the site. The facility would not be open to the public. Gold Coast has
agreed that third parties would not be permitted to drop off or pick up from the
dry cleaning facility. Council requested an estimate of future use, and in
response Gold Coast estimates that it would be using three trucks in the dry
cleaning operation.
3. Volume:
Gold Coast's primary utilization of the facility will be in two areas: 1)
cleaning its own garments and other clothing from its own drop stores and 2)
cleaning for others such as drop dry cleaning stores owned by third parties.
Gold Coast estimates that cleaning for others will comprise 7% of its current
business. Per Council request, Gold Coast estimates that it would be
accommodating 2 drop locations other than its own stores with the current
facility at the end of six months.
Prior Council Action:
In the same Industrial Park, approximately 300 to 400 feet away, Council
approved a wholesale dry cleaning operation for Coit approximately three years
ago. Coit's facility is approximately 7000 square feet versus the 1950 square
foot facility Gold Coast will be constructing. unlike Gold Coast, Coit's
facility abuts residential development to its west. A picture of Coit's
facility is attached as Exhibit F.
3
Council approved a Dryclean USA dry cleaning plant located in a more sensitive
area, to wit: 8315 North Pine Island Road. Specifically, Dryclean USA is
located in a retail center backed up with residential. Dryclean USA does dry
cleaning for multiple drop stores. (Mr. Walters estimates Dryclean USA does
cleaning for about eleven drop locations). A picture of Dryclean USA is
attached hereto as Exhibit G.
SL*29M:
There is no adverse impact environmentally, traffic wise, or other wise. The
County has no objection to such a facility subject to compliance with
regulations governing same. The location is in the best area for such a
facility to wit: an industrial park located at the city line. The City has
already permitted a much larger wholesale dry cleaning plant in the same
industrial park, less than 400 feet away. There has been no objections by any
resident within a 300 foot radius of the property. Gold Coast has one of the
finest reputations in the business. Gold Coast has been in business for ten
years and has made Tamarac its home for close to five years..
CONCLUSION:
1) The City's Community Planning and Development Department recommended
approval.
2) The City's Planning Commission recommended approval.
3) Broward County Environmental Control Board does not appear to have an
objection to a wholesale dry cleaning plant at Tamarac Industrial Park.
4) Broward County Environmental Services and Engineers does not appear to
have an objection to a wholesale dry cleaning plant at Tamarac Industrial Park.
5) Broward County water Resources Management Division does not appear to
have an objection to a wholesale dry cleaning plant at Tamarac Industrial Park.
6) Council previously approved a dry cleaning facility in the same exact
industrial park three times the size of the facility Gold Coast is requesting.
7) No residents residing within a 300 foot radius had any objection to the
operation of a dry cleaning facility at Tamarac Industrial Park.
8. There is no adverse impact environmentally, traffic wise or otherwise
resulting from the operation a wholesale dry cleaning facility at Tamarac
Industrial Park.
Gold Coast has no problem to the first stipulation attached to resolution R-
89-15 approving the operation of a dry cleaners by Gold Coast.
We request that stipulation 2 in the resolution that was passed either be
deleted in its entirety or in the alternative be replaced with the following:
"Gold Coast will not operate a retail dry cleaners at the location. Gold Coast
is permitted to use the premises for a wholesale dry cleaning plant (to wit: not
4
1
1
open to the general public) provided there is no drop off to or pick -up from the
premises by parties other than Gold Coast."
I trust this covers all the points of information requested. However, if there
are any other areas needed to be covered, please let me know immediately and I
will have the information before the upcoming Council meeting.
Very truly yours
Michael Garlick
