26. NW 61 Street - Southwest Corner - Discussion and possible action
on:
a) Acceptance of an ingress/egress easement from Intertres, N.V.,
a Netherlands Antilles Corporation - Temp. Reso. #2204.
b) Approval of an agreement regarding certain recorded covenants -
Temp. Reso. #2205.
c) Supporting a request by Carl Turner, Trustee, for a variance
for reducing setbacks - Temp. Reso. #2188.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: No action was
taken but Council indicated concurrence
with Alan Ruf's proposal.
Alan Ruf said the agenda item indicates possible action which would be
on three Temporary Resolutions. The process of the negotiations with
respect to the lining up of 61st St. have not been completed;and
therefore, he said he would like the action taken by Council to be
limited to a discussion and a concensus rather than action on the
Resolutions. This has been done at the request of parties who are
involved in the negotiations with respect to this matter.
Mr. Ruf said Council is familiar with the attempt being made for several
months by the City Staff, City Attorney's office and others in the
community to get a traffic light at University Drive and 61st St. and
the necessity to line up the west side of the street with the east side
of the street. The City will be required to ask various property owners
for easements and then ultimately conveyances of property in order to

� �J
accomplish this. Particularly the Intertres, a Netherlands Antilles
Corp. has been asked to donate a 40 foot strip of land on the south
side of NW 61st St. and other adjacent land owners have been asked to
contribute towards the construction costs.
Mr. Ruf said in consideration for that the land owners have asked the
City for consideration of two requests. First, a request for the
removal of restrictive covenants which were granted by the Summit
Bank to the City of Tamarac on May 5, 1978; these covenants were to
restrict retail shopping centers and restaurants and gas stations on
the Parcel that lies on the west side of University Drive and on the
south side of 61st St. The request is that a new agreement be drawn
removing the two restrictions with respect to the retail shopping center
and the grocery store; however, the restriction with respect to gas
stations would remain.
Mr. Ruf said he would like some consensus from Council to see whether
this is agreeable. Secondly, because of the donation of street frontage,
they would like a recommendation or resolution from this Council to
the Board of Adjustment allowing for 40 foot instead of 50 foot setbacks
from the adjoining streets on that Parcel of land.
Council agreed that there were no objections by them concerning this.
27. Gulfstream Bank (formerly Summit Bank) - Temp. Reso. #2203 -
Discussion and possible action to accept a quit claim deed for a
40-foot strip of land on NW 61 St.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: ACCEPTED RESOLUTION NO. R
the deed by adopting Tem . Reso. #2203
PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title and said that all this
says is that they are doing a title search but the City has the docu-
ment and he suggested Council accept it and not record it yet but to
hold it until such time as there is need for it.
C/K,,Massaro pointed out that this is for the raw water line that the
City is attempting to put in there and has nothing to do with the
street light.
V/M Disraelly MOVED the ADOPTION of Temp. Reso. #2203 accepting a quit
claim deed, SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
VOTE:
ALL VOTED AYE
2. Bi_ Award - Temp. Reso. #2177 - Discussion and possible action to
award a bid for painting and structural repairs at the water treat-
ment plant (tabled from 2/24/82).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED
to meet-,ing on March 16, 1982.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title. The City Manager said
that staff is recommending that the bid be awarded to Blast -Air Inc.
who is the low bidder and is certified and licensed to perform this
work, the amount of the award should be $50,200.00.
V/M Disraelly said this is considerably cheaper than any other bid
received for comparable work; he MOVED the ADOPTION of Temp. Reso. #2177
with the bid of Blast -Air Inc. in the amount of $50,200.00 as approved
for the work to be done at the Utility, SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
Ted Fowler of Walton -Cottrell Associates said the company he represents
also has a bid in and Blast -Air, Inc. is not qualified with the proper
license to do the water treatment plant. He said they hold a specialty
3 - 3/10/82
/pm
license in sand blasting only and that is part of .the job but there
is also painting and structural steel to be repaired and he holds no
license for this. Mr. Fowler said he wants this on record because if
the contract is awarded to him they are going to take legal action
because they are licensed and it is on public record at the Licensing
Bureau of Fort Lauderdale which also covers Tamarac. Mr. Fowler said
their bid is for $81,000 which makes them the second from the lowest
bidder.
C/W Massaro said if Blast -Air, Inc. is not licensed to do this then
it would appear to her they would have someone who is qualified do
this and this should be checked out further. She said it would appear
that he has the right to sub -let parts of this job to someone.
Mr. Fowler' said only if he were a General Contractor could he sub -let
to sub -contractors and he turned his bid in on the date which everyone
else did and he would have to go through a great deal to compete and
do work like this. Mr. Fowler repeated, Blast -Air was improperly
licensed at the day of the bid, they are still improperly licensed and
they will have to take it to a higher court.
The City Attorney asked the City Manager if they had looked into this
matter and she said the comment was raised by Walton -Cottrell prior to
the last agenda and this is why staff had this item removed or tabled
to this meeting. She was informed by the Engineering Dept. that the
recommendation that they were making for Blast-Air,Inc. had been checked
and that Blast -Air, Inc. was now properly licensed to do this work.
Mr. Fowler said it was illegal for them to even bid for this work.
C/W Massaro said she would like the City Attorney to check into this
and this should be tabled to Tuesday's Special Meeting. C/W Massaro
MOVED that this item be TABLED to the Special Meeting on March 16, 1982
with the City Attorney authorized to check into the legalities involved
in this, SECONDED by V/M Disraelly.

3. Bid Award - Tem . Reso. #2189 - Discussion and possible action to
award a bid for the excavation and stockpiling of lime sludge.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED Awarded RESOLUTION NO. RK -- PASSED
to
CPS Construction,Inc.per bid submitted.
Attorney-'Birken read the Resolution by title. The City Manager said
the City only received one response to the call for bids and that was
from CPS Construction, Inc. They have performed this type of work
for the City before and the amount quoted is $800.00 per foot for a
total of $4,500 based upon the bid specs.
C/W Massaro MOVED that Temp. Reso.__#2189 awarding the bid to CPS Con-
struction, Inc. as per the bid submitted be APPROVED, SECONDED by V/M
Disraelly. V/M Disraelly asked the City Manager if the bid was for $800
per foot or $4,500 and the City Manager said "both".There is that variabl(
and they may find that they have to go lower, $8uu per foot below
8 feet.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
32. Woodmont Tract 74 and 75 - Revised Site Plan - Tem .Reso. #2196 -
Discussion and possible action on a revised site plan pertaining
to building modification.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED until
petitioner is ready.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title. Joe D'Amore representing
Rainey Rissman said that the purpose for coming before Council is that
they have gotten inquiries at the project for a three bedroom or a two
bedroom with a den type unit. Right now the project is based on one and
two bedrooms. They are proposing to indicate on the master plan those
areas of those particular buildings that would allow them to add a third
bedroom.

Mr. D'Amore said what this would really do is replace several of their
existing two bedroom units at the end of some of the buildings. It
has been indicated on the master plan in dotted lines because at this
point they are not really proposing that they are going to build those.
They would just like to have the option if the market presents itself.
Mr. D'Amore said this has been indicated only where it would not affect
zoning or building setbacks and they have indicated that they would
like the option to be able to revise the building to afford them that
third bedroom.
C/W Massaro said this seems like a good plan but she is not happy with
the notation that this plan is for conceptual purposes only. She said
she realizes that what they are talking about is conceptual but even
without the legalities involved she would not be in favor of accepting
something like that. Attorney Birken said he agrees that those words
are appropriate.
Mr. D'Amore said when they submitted the first plans, Julian Bryan,
who does not carry the capacity to seal a drawing, took the plans to the
Engineer of Record, Keith and Schnars. They were requested to review
the revisions only,not the initial plan,to check that this would be
in compliance with setbacks and zoning. The wording originated with
Keith and Schnars. They were concerned that what was being proposed
was a conceptual thing and that each building would have to come in
for a specific building permit. At that point, this would no longer
be conceptual.
C/W Massaro said she understands what Mr. D'Amore is trying to do but
she said she cannot feel comfortable approving a revised site plan where
the engineer is not responsible for the work that is on there and by
putting that statement on there he is relieving himself of responsibility
and he should not do that. She said she has no objection to them having
a third bedroom but if and when they have a unit and want to add to it
that they should come in at that time for a revised site plan.
V/M Disraelly asked if this was still going to be an adult community
and Mr. D'Amore said it was. V/M Disraelly said he agrees with C/W
Massaro and Mr. D'Amore should come before Council and handle each
building individually when the time comes.
Mr. D'Amore said he was told by the Planning Department that this type
of change requires a master change, planning and zoning, etc. because
it also affects parking and traffic circulation.
Attorney Birken said the developer has to make a decision, either he
wants to take out the dotted lines and ask for approval of the revised
site plan with real parking spaces and not contingency parking spaces
and the buildings properly shown or some of the buildings properly shown
or he may want to ask Council to Table and to decide exactly what he
is asking for in terms of how many buildings he wants three bedroom as
opposed to two bedroom and come back before Council at a later time.
Mayor Falck said it seems to him that the tabling action is most desirable
with the understanding that the proposal can be amended and broucLht
back at the proper time. C/W Massaro said there is another aspect to
be considered . If Mr. D'AMore does come in with an amended site plan
to show definitely these changes and the angle of the building so that
it would conform with the proper setbacks, etc. that if he changes his
mind and does not put three bedroom on those buildings, he must come
back in to Council for a revised site plan again.
Mr. D'Amore said this is what they were trying to avoid. Mayor Falck
said in order to finalize this there should be a motion to table until
they are ready to amend their proposal.

Richard Rubin said there was a second item discussed at the meeting.
that hopefully might be approved at this meeting, and that is related
to the safety gates that are in front of the development to protect
the public from using the private streets. The Fire Department is
very concerned that those gates could cause damage to emergency vehicle:
and a solution was reached this morning. The solution that was
suggested by Mr. D'Amore and accepted by the Fire Chief was that Mr.
D'Amore would put in two alternate emergency vehicle exits; one just
to the east of the existing entrance and another approximately two to
three hundred feet further east that would go into the driveway system
that would have the crushed rock, a stabilized base and at the main
gate there would be a sign that would say "Emergency Vehicles Entrance
East".
Richard Rubin said one gate would be between Building 15 and 18 and
this is a future phase and another one must be put in approximately
40 feet east of their new major entrance, just north of Bldg. 19.
C/W Massaro said the idea is good but she would like to see this all
come in at one time on a new revised site plan. C/W Massaro MOVED to
Tape TABLE this item to an indefinite date, SECONDED by V/M Disraelly.

23. Lakes of Carria e Hills - Sign Waiver - Tem . Reso. #2208 -
Discussion and possible action to waive the provisions of the
sign ordinance for a temporary directional sign at the northeast
corner of Commercial Blvd. and Rock Island Rd.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
with conditions.
RESOLUTION NO. R- - PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title. Ray Baade, Chairman of
the Beautification Committee said this has come in as a waiver request
because the Ordinance allows the community directional signs only for
those developments which are not on major traffic ways as identified
on the Broward County Land Use Plan. Both Commercial Blvd. and Rock
Island Rd. are on the Broward County Land Use Plan as major traffic -
ways as well as is Bailey Road. The Beautification Committee was unable
to grant approval for this sign and it requires Council approval.
7 - 3/10/82
/pm
Mr. Baade said he would like to recommend a reduction in the size
of the overall sign from that which was requested by the applicant.
V/M Disraelly said the recommendation is 7 feet up to the arrow and
2 feet beyond that. The recommendation of the Committee is that the
total length of the sign including the arrow be 6 feet. The height of
the sign at the small end would be 3 feet and the other end would be
7 feet. Mr. Baade said the copy to go on the sign would be in the
logo style of lettering for Lakes of Carriage Hills,which is a fine
line, script -type lettering.
C/W Massaro asked Mr. Baade how far off the right-of-way this is.
V/M Disraelly said this would be placed on Sabal Palm Golf Course.
There is permission from Mr. Stackhouse for the placement of the sign.
The sign will be on:Commercial Blvd. just east of the Golf Course
Pro Shop crossing.
V/M Disraelly MOVED the ADOPTION of Tem Reso. #2208 Section 2

criptions to remain as is, being a temporary sign, not to exceed. -one

21. Woodlands Homeowners Association - Sign Waiver - Temp. Reso.
#2206 - Discussion and possible action to waive the provisions
of the sign ordinance for a permanent ground sign in the median
of Sago Palm Blvd.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
with conditions
RESOLUTION NO. R�_ 6 ;- PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title. V/M Disraelly said this
sign request is for a sign similar to the one that has been put up at
Holly Drive on Rock Island Rd. south of where the proposed sign before
Council is requested. V/M Disraelly called Lee Billingsley yesterday
of the Broward County Traffic Engineering and he said he has no problem
with this until such time as Rock Island Rd. might be widened in the
future at which time he would require the sign to come down.
V/M Disraelly said the Beautification Committee could not handle this
sign because it is a sign to be erected in the median of a public
right-of-way over which the City Council has control. The Resolution
indicates the same conditions for this sign as has been given for the
one on Holly Dr. which 'are:
a) Execution of a Hold Harmless Agreement approved by the City Attorney,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
b) If the City finds it necessary to remove the sign, the Woodlands
Homeowners Association would be responsible to remove the sign at its
own expense. If the Association does not comply, the City reserves
the right to demolish the sign.
c) This waiver to erect the sign is revocable at any time.Council deems
necessary.
V/M Disraelly said there is a representative of Woodlands
present and if he agrees to the conditions of the Resolution
there should be no problem and the Vice Mayor would MOVE the ADOPTION
of Temp_. Reso. #2206. Mr. Blank said he agrees to all the provisions
as set forth in the Resolution. SECONDED by C/M Kravitz.
Melanie Reynolds said she felt it was irregular the wav the Beautificatic
Committee handled this. It has been the routine for many years that, if
a waiver were requested, the petitioner would have to come back to the
Beautification Committee in two weeks.
8 _ 3/10/82
/pm
Melanie Reynolds said that V/M Disraelly said Mr. Blank could go
to the Building Dept. and come back during the same meeting and the
Beautification Committee would handle this. She said not only has
Mr. Blank been given consideration but so was Coldwell Bankers and
Montwood. She said that the Beautification Committee had said if
Mr. Blank came back they would reagendize this but they did not.
She said her objections were that this is discrimination.
Mr. Baade said at the last meeting of Beautification there was a very
heavy agenda and he felt it was unfair to penalize these people to ask
them to delay another two weeks before taking action.
Mr. Baade said the Ordinance does not specifically state that it has
to be agendized at a future meeting; it merely states that it will be
agendized and considered by the Beautification Committee.
V/M Disraelly said they took out the copy of the existing Ordinance
and read it and there is no mention of time involved. The only mention
of time is in Section 11 of the Code where it says, "Within 30 days of
the receipt of the petition and the payment of the fee, the Beautifica-
tion Committee shall consider the petition as an agenda item". There-
fore, they handled this as an added item to the agenda.
C/W Massaro said that she agrees that everyone should be treated the
same way but there are sometimes extenuating circumstances why something
can or cannot,'be handled. She said this is not setting a precedent
they have done this before. V/M Disraelly said that in the rewriting
of this Ordinance this will be considered.

22. Versailles Gardens - Sian Waiver -- Temp. Reso. #2207 - Discussion
and possible action to waive the provisions ofthe sign ordinance
for a temporary directional sign at the northwest corner of NW 80
Ave. and McNab Rd.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
with conditions.
RESOLUTION NO. R - ellft O a- - 6,3 PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title. Mr. Baade said this is
an application for another directional sign which is allowed by the
Ordinance again, for developments that are not on major trafficways.
Since this development is on Lagos de Campo Blvd., which is not a
major trafficway identified on the Broward County Land Use Plan, it
is perfectly in line with the Ordinance. However, the Ordinance permits
a sign of only 12 square feet; the application asks for a sign of 32
square feet. This is the reason for the request. The Beautification
Committee approved the recommendation that Council approve this waiver
by a vote of 4-1. The one objection is that the sign is oversized
because it is located on a corner with an existing 4-way stop with
heavy traffic on McNab Rd.
Mr. Baade said he would like to recommend that the Council approve this
waiver request for a reduced size, no more than 24 square feet. The
elevation would be at least 3 feet clearance at the bottom for visibility.
V/M Disraelly said that based on Mr. Baade's presentation and the fact
that they do have a letter from the owner of the property at that
location, on the NW corner of Lagos de Campo and McNab, he MOVED the
APPROVAL of the double-faced temporary sign for a period not to
exceed one year. The size of the sign to be no larger than 24 square
feet with 3 feet of clearance beneath the sign for visibility and set-
back a minimum of 10 feet from the right-of-way in any direction.

and possible action to waive the provisions of the sign ordinance
for a temporary ground sign at the Colony Springs Building,
8222 W. McNab Road.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
with conditions.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 6- j PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title.
Bill Simmons of Sign Solutions in Pompano, representative of Coldwell
Banker,said he would appreciate Mr. Baade's stating his case.
Mr. Baade said this application is for a"For Lease" sign to be placed
in the parking lot of the Colony Center Medical Professional Bldg. east
of Colony Center on the north side of McNab Rd. Mr. Baade said the
Ordinance provides for "For Lease" signs to be displayed on stores,
offices and professional buildings affixed to or against the outside
of the building, but it does not provide for them located elsewhere.
This will be corrected in the revised draft of the Ordinance, therefore
the Committee finds nothing wrong in the applicant's location of the
sign, the size of the sign or any other details.
V/M Disraelly said there will be another application coming in from
Mr. Simmons for a sign to be placed on the wall and this should be
approved provided that it is below the regular roof structure. V/M
Disraelly MOVED the ADOPTION of Tem . Reso. #2209, a temporary sign
not to exceed one year for a waiver to permit a leasing sign on the
ground the size of which falls within the parameters of the Code. This
would be in addition to any legal sign that would be placed on the
building. SECONDED by C/M Kravitz.

the south side of the entrance, on Banyan Way.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. R- ^& 6 PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Resolution by title and V/M Disraelly said
this sign was denied by Beautification because on the sketch showing
the islands, the sign itself is on a wall that is 14 feet long. This is
in excess of that which is normally permitted. However, on the Beautifi-
cation site plan that was submitted, there are 3 Dortions of that wall
sign all of which are approximately that 14 foot length. Since this
is in keeping with the wall and the beautification that will be sur-
rounding that he MOVED the ADOPTION of Temp. Reso. #2210 permitting
permanent north and south signs at that entrance, SECONDED by C/W

9. Festival of Lights - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Acceptance of report by the Holiday Committee (tabled from
1/27/82)
b) Consideration of surplus funds.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) APPROVED,
b) surplus funds to be used for
sound system and,if extra, for a
tree to be planted; all for use
for this Committee.
a) C/W Massaro said the statement has been submitted some time ago
and there appears to be a balance of $1,394.35. $2,819.85 had
been taken in and $1,425.50 was expended and there are no other
bills coming forth so this is the amount of money that remains
with the City. C/W Massaro MOVED the ACCEPTANCE of the Report
as submitted. V/M Disraelly SECONDED.
C/M Kravitz said in checking the report he found some disturbing
things. He sent a memo to Council about a week ago containing the
reasons he was disturbed by this report. In that report, he said,
he feels that the City of Tamarac has done a marvelous job, is
doing a marvelous job and he would like to see at all times that
there is one standard for all Committees.
11 - 3/10/82
/pm
C/M Kravitz said in view of this, he does not believe that any
Committee should have funds received that are not accepted by Council.
He said no Committee should be given the privilege of spending money
or giving out expenses. He said it is contrary to the law to sell
merchandise, the City must go out on bid no matter how small the
amount. He said he wanted to commend C/W Massaro for the outstanding
job and this is not a personality issue. He said he is only concerned
with the future that there be a standard for all Committees. He said
it is not against any person on Council.
Mayor Falck asked if C/M Kravitz were objecting to acceptance of the
report and C/M Kravitz said he was. He said only because in the report
there are the items he brought up. He said he does not think this is
the way it should have been done. He said there are many things in the
report that are wrong and he is objecting both as liaison to Finance
and also as personally being a CPA. He said he is proposing an
Ordinance prepared for Council in the form of a Resolution that Council
consider that they establish guidelines for the future that all
Committees have a guideline that no matter what has to be done, every
Committee has to abide by it and he is not finding fault with C/W
Massaro. But, he said, in years to come there may not be Mrs. Massaro on
Council and he would like it in the record that these are guidelines
for no matter who may be on Council. This is why he is finding fault
with the report.
Mayor Falck said that basically it should be clarified that right now
the only thing being considered is acceptance of the report. C/M
Kravitz is proposing action on a Resolution. V/M Disraelly said he
found this on his desk this morning and C/W Massaro said she did too.
Mayor Falck concurred and said they should deal with Item 9 on the
Agenda and that is acceptance of the report by the Holiday Committee.
Arthur Birken said the Resolution is intended to be part of this but
it is not on the printed agenda. Mayor Falck said if C/M Kravitz would
like to add the item he has no objection to do that but he would like
to move on the Motion and Second for acceptance of the report.
C/M Kravitz said unless he was wrong before he tried to have this
agendized and upon advice of the City Attorney he was told this is
part of the Agenda and he therefore dropped his request. However, he
said, he would be happy to go along with Mayor Falck's suggestion and
agendize it for another meeting. V/M Disraelly said he is happy with
the last few words C/M Kravitz said because having received this
just this morning he would have to study this and there should be no
problem with it on a future agenda. C/M Kravitz said he has no objection
to this.

b) Consideration of Surplus Funds - $1,394.35 - C/W Massaro said that she
would like to suggest that these funds be used to purchase a sound
system which is needed badly and there is sufficient money to purchase
one that will be of a better quality when there are outside functions.
She said they paid $175.00 for a sound system even for this particular
festivity and it left much to be desired. This was the cheapest that
could be purchased. She said if there were any money left over she
would like to see it used for a permanent tree planted and decorated
at Christmas time. She said she will never again run a function for the
Festival of Lights but she would like to see the money used for those
purposes.
- 12 - 3/10/82
/pm
V/M Disraelly MOVED that the City Manager be authorized to go to
bid for an appropriate portable sound system. Attorney Birken said
they do not have to go to bid for this. V/M Disraelly said he would
like to rephrase this, that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to
prepare specs for a portable sound system that would be much superior
to the one that is currently being used which would be adequate for
any outdoor functions. SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
C/M Kravitz asked for a point of information from Mr. Birken,whether
it is legally proper for monies received for a specific purpose of
Festival of Lights to be used for another purpose which is not the
Festival of Lights, no matter how good that purpose might be.
Attorney Birken said if a sound system is purchased and if, in fact,
that system is designated for use for all future Festival of Lights
Tape activities for as long as it is good there should be no problem.
3 V/M Disraelly said he would AMEND his MOTION to be used for the
Festival of Lights and when not needed for that could be used for other
events for the City. C/W Massaro said she would include that in her
SECOND.
C/M Kravitz said he is still confused with the legality and though
they are saying this is to be used for the Festival of Lights, there
may never be another Festival of Lights, or there may be. But the
question being raised now is a legal question. This was not used for
the last Festival of Lights, they may never have another Festival of
Lights, is it legal to use those funds which was Escrow money for that
purpose and designate it for another purpose at this time. C/M Kravitz
asked if he could get a written memo from the Legal Department stating
that it is. Attorney Birken said he will give C/M Kravitz a memo stating
that this is legal.
C/M Zemel asked Attorney Birken, in the same vein, does that mean that
money that is in the Recreation Fund can be used for other purposes if
the Council so desires? Attorney Birken said "no, those monies are
specifically incumbered for a specific purpose and were collected under
an Ordinance which specifies exactly what they are to be used for".
Attorney Birken said these are Inpact Fees and are limited by Case Law
to certain times of uses and allocations. Attorney Birken said he is
comfortable with Council designating that surplus money to be used for
a sound system to be used for future Festival of Lights activities.

Mayor Falck said he would like to hold the part for discussion relating
to the Health Insurance existing health program until Tuesday 3/16/82
meeting. He said the reason for that is that he will be in Tallahassee
on Friday discussing the Health Insurance Program as it relates to
existing coverages and he will be in a better position to discuss this
on Tuesday after that meeting.
- 13 - 3/10/82
/Pm
Attorney Birken said there are two aspects to this, One is the City
has been approached by at least two Health Maintenance Organizations
one of which is Healthcare of Broward, Inc. for that organization to
have the opportunity to enlist City employees to become part of their
program. The Federal Law requires that if there•is a qualified HMO
that comes to the City,and this apparently is a qualified HMO, the
City must choose at least one program and offer it to its employees
While the City does have some flexibility concerning timing as to
some of its employees, management feels that it would be desirable to
make these services available for everyone at the same time, if they
so desire.
Mr. Birken said it is his understanding that it is proposed that the
contracts, a simple one page contract attached to the Resolution, would
become effective on April 15 and that the HMO come in and make a
presentation to the employees prior to that time. He said he is sure
that Council is aware of what the HMO offers and how it differs from
the type of coverage provided under traditional health insurance plans.
V/M Disraelly said that the City Attorney indicated that there are at
least two HMO's available in the area. He asked if the City will be
saying that the employees can join either one or only one? Attorney
Birken said the City requested certain information from the other HMO
which was not forthcoming and, if in fact that HMO provides all the
required information to Council they can make a decision as to whether
or not they want to offer the second HMO to its employees.
Attorney Birken said Council would be able to offer more than one HMO.
Council has the right to limit the number of HMOs of a specific type.
The two that are in question are both of the same type.
Laura Stuurmans said in order for the City to have a proper amount of
time to acquaint the employees with the various factors between coverage
through the HMO Program or through the Health Trust that the City
currently has, they would like to recommend that Council approve this
contract today so that the HMO could come out as early as next week
and being speaking with the employees. C/M Zemel asked if the employee:
at that time would have a choice to either stay with the plan the City
has or move over to the HMO? Mayor Falck said this would be their
decision to make. V/M Disraelly asked if this would be as a total
group or individually. Mayor Falck said it would be individually.
V/M Disraelly asked what the payment of the premium would be and the
City Attorney said the City would pay the same for the HMO as they
currently pay for the coverage they now get. The City Attorney said
the HMO does charge more than the City's current contribution so the
employee would have to pay a little more.

16. Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport - Discussion and possible
action to authorize Milledge and�Hermelee to continue to represent
the City in litigation.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
at a cost not to exceed $7,000.00.
- 14 - 3/10/82
/pm
Attorney Birken said for the first time the City won a very significant
victory concerning the Executive Airport when the state ruled that
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport does not have vested rights concerning
its proposed runway extension. The City was represented largely in
this manner by the firm of Milledge and Hermelee and the City of Fort
Lauderdale has decided that it is in their economic best interests
to take an appeal to the Court of Appeal. He said that the decision
that was rendered by the state is of enormous consequences and it was
a tremendously difficult decision to get in the City's favor because if
the state ruled against the City, there would be no standing to take
the matter further.
Attorney Birken said the state was ready to rule in favor of Fort
Lauderdale at the time that the City found out that the application was
pending and even at that late point in time, they were able to convince
the state through proper legal presentation that the position taken by
the City of Fort Lauderdale was not a justifiable position. The City
now has the proposal by the firm of Milledge and Hermelee to continue
to participate in the decision making process of this time before the
Court of Appeal at an hourly rate equal to those hourly rates set forth
at a maximum fee of $7,000. Hopefully, the cost will be less than that.
The $7,000 figure was the same figure that was quoted to the City of
Fort Lauderdale for handling the appeal and the City Attorney firmly
recommended that the City continue to endeavor to protect the victory
that it had at this point in time and that authorization be given to
Milledge and Hermelee to continue to participate.
Attorney Birken said Council has budgeted $10,000 for this as a figure
and the final figure was considerably less than that. V/M Disraelly
asked if they win this would they pay the City of Tamarac's attorneys
fees and Mr. Birken answered 'no. If the City wins this they will have
to go through the DRI process and there will be for the first time a
detailed review of the inpact of some of the development at that airport.
This has never happened before which is essentially what the City has
wanted all along.
C/M Kravitz asked if there were any indication at this point if they
authorize Milledge and Hermelee to continue what we can expect the fees
to be? Attorney Birken said no more than $7,000. C/M Kravitz said
there is $3,000 left over from the last time so that would mean an
additional $4,000.
C/W Massaro said the City has gone a long way with this and there is
no backing away or everything that they hoped to accomplish would go
down the drain. C/W Massaro MOVED to authorize Milledge and Hermelee
to continue to represent the City's interests to participation before
the First District Court of Appeal at a cost not to exceed $7,000.00.

10. Proposed Park - Discussion and possible action to request the
State to donate, for a proposed park, a parcel of land north of
Prospect Road lying between Tamarac Lakes 1 and 2.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
concept as a park.
Mayor Falck said this is the area that was designated as a borrow'.pit
and filled on that parcel of land which lies between Lakes 1 and 2.
The fill was to be used for the building of the 195 road when it was
originally planned. The state did put 195 through but between the time
they planned 195 originally and the time they completed 195 they
arranged to get their fill elsewhere and the borrow pit was not used
specifically for that purpose.
Mayor Falck said this area. is a problem because there is a road of sorts
used by people dumping trash and debris and this matter has been up for
discussion on a number of occasions. Anything that is done in order
to maintain that for the benefit of the people is done by the City's
Public Works people. The wildlife preserve that runs off of 31st Ave.
is constantly being reduced because of the adding of the lanes of
traffic in there which has made the preserve almost meaningless.
Mayor Falck said they are hopeful, on the basis of information they
have received, that they might be able to negotiate an arrangement
whereby the area between Lakes 1 and 2 would be obtained by the City
of Tamarac and made into a bird sanctuary, a wild life preserve or
whatever.
Mayor Falck said there are also Grants that are available to help with
that particular type of work and Richard Rubin has some possibilities
to present. Mayor Falck acknowledged that there were people present
from the Lakes sections and they are in sympathy with what the City is
trying to do in this area.
Richard Rubin said this is a 6-1/2 acre piece of land between Tamarac
Lakes 1 on the east side, Lakes 2 is on the west side, Prospect Road is
on the south and the City of Fort Lauderdale industrial area abuts the
north property line. Presently, the land is low and there is a natural
waterway flowing through a part of the rockpit that was already excavated
and there is another small rockpit that is self-contained stagnant water
which is very bad.
Richard Rubin said the proposed design is very simple in nature and
easy to resolve without a great expenditure.
16 - 3/10/82
/pm
Richard Rubin said one concept is to widen the waterways so there
would not be this self-contained lake, second, to create a natural
area away from the public that birds could use as a sanctuary that
would be safe. Third, to do some street landscaping along Prospect
Road, two rows of trees and fourth, since there is still a land mass
in the rear, this has great potential for a wild life preserve or a
tree nursery.
Mayor Falck said they are convinced that, -,based on the
attitudes that the state has at the present time for protecting or
improving the environment there are. Grant monies that are available
that they would like to explore with Council's authorization.
Attorney Birken said Council has received correspondence indicating
that the state would be interested in selling this property for
$130,000.00. He said he does not think this is the figure that they
would be interested in spending for this land. The City, over the
years, has made contact with the state concerning the possibility of
lease for $1.00 per year or sale at a realistic price and those
contacts have gotten no where. It appears that if the City wants to
move forward and achieve results, some sort of a lobbying effort by
professionals would be in the City's best interest.
Attorney Birken said along those lines if the Council wishes, he would
be in touch with a very prominent attorney in Broward County who would
be able to make initial contacts up to the highest levels of state
government. The attorney's name is Steve Josias and he is the City
Attorney of Pembrook Pines and Mr. Birken said he would strongly
recommend that if Council desires to move forward that Mr. Josias
be engaged at the rate of $100 per hour to see whether this is a
realistic prospect and if not to report back to Council at the earliest
possible time to keep costs at a minimum.
Mr. Birken said if there is interest he would put in additional time
to bring this to an end. V/M Disraelly said there was an item in the
newspaper this past week that said that legislation had been passed
whereby state agencies can now donate land to other state agencies
where previously it was to be given only to municipalities.
C/W Massaro said she thinks it is certainly worthwhile pursuing but
not in the way the City Attorney recommends at this moment. She said
their efforts have not been concerted enough to take this approach at
this time and various people in the State Legislature should be spoken
with to see if the City can get some assistance that way first and'if
these efforts are exhausted then they can think of this attorney.
Mayor Falck said he would like to have Council approve the concept so
that they can be authorized to proceed with whatever can be done.
Mayor Falck said there are utility lines that relate to both these
sections underneath this borrow pit. He said they would like to adopt
the concept and determining what Grant possibilities there are.
So far they have just gotten the agreement with the people who live
over there that it does have merit.
V/M Disraelly asked what Department specifically owns this. Mayor
Falck said it is the State Department of Transportation. C/W Massaro
MOVED that they do adopt the concept of the area suggested for whatever
municipal purpose that might be decided but certainly for a park in
general, whether it be a bird sanctuary or whatever. That Mayor Falck
take the initiative to make contacts and they determine exactly what
the City has there so if there are lines in there they should know.
C/W Massaro said with these lines in there the City has a certain hold
on it right now. She said Tony Nolan's files might have some of this
information and in the MOTION that after Mayor Falck moves forward on
this, it be discussed further.
- 17 - 3/10/82
/pm
Richard Rubin said the plans show that there would not be disruption
of the land at the north end of the property.
Marge Kelch asked if this plan would help in any way to the access
problem that exists over there between one section and another.
Mayor Falck said they suggested if the project does develop they would
like to have some walk or bridge to allow people to get from one
section to another.
Richard Rubin said he is pleased that the residents and Council are
in favor of this and in the next six months the City will be revising
the Land Use Plan in several areas of the City. Presently this :land
is shown for 5 units per acre and they should start considering that
as endeavors are finalized perhaps this should be changed to an open
space classification to protect this as open space. V/M Disraelly

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
ORDINANCE NO. 0 -?2 - 1.5-- PASSED.
Attorney Birken read the Ordinance by title. Mayor Falck opened the
public hearing and closed it because of no response.
V/M Disraelly said this has been rewritten as of last week with the
changes that were requested by Council and he MOVED the ADOPTION of
Temp. Ord. #941 on second and final reading.
C/W Massaro said she would like to have this Item TABLED to the Special
Meeting as she has not had time to study it. V/M Disraelly said for
clarification this says that there must be a 20 foot length exterior
ape paved parking space in front of any one or two bedroom unit and three
4 or four bedroom unit two paved parking spaces 20 foot in length. V/M
Disraelly said on the others they are just indicating that they be
paved parking spaces with the same percentage on the multiple family
dwellings as had been existing in the past.
Richard Rubin said just today he received a phone call from the builder
who wants to build a house 15 foot back from the property line and
according to the City Code the front yard setback is 15 feet. When
the City Planner said that there must be places for paved parking the
typical answer was that they have a garage and they can keep two cars
in the garage. The City Planner said their concern is that if the
garage should be ever converted to another use there would not be
adequate outside parking for a car.
The City Planner said there are 2 alternatives: -
either perpendicular parking 20 foot from the right-of-way to the house
or a circular drive. C/W Massaro said she has no objections and would

revising platting requirements. First Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: ADOPTED
on first reading.
Attorney Birken read the Ordinance by title and said this Ordinance
has been through a number of revisions and has been reviewed by the
City Planner, City Engineer, City Attorney and the Planning Commission
and has reached a point where there are a few items that there is some
disagreement on. These were addressed in the City Attorney's memo of
March 4 which reflects the City Attorney's recommendations and the
City Engineer's recommendations.
Attorney Birken said this Ordinance would dovetail with the Site
Development Ordinance and clears up the existing language in the existing
regulations and staff would recommend approval.
Richard Rubin said the Planning Council was proper in submitting a copy
of this to the County for their review since platting is very critical
concerning the County based upon the Land Development Code 8116. They
were in contact with this department this morning and are submitting a
letter saying that generally this is a fine plat ordinance; however,
they feel that there are approximately 9 places in this ordinance that
need to be clarified by adding additional definitions or sentences.
- 19 - 3/10/82
/pm
These clarifications were suggested by the Broward County Planning
Council staff. They said these items are insignificant and the Ord-
inance as proposed now is not contrary to the County's Plat Ordinance.
It would be helpful, however, before passing this for second and
final reading, to make these clarifications and adding in definitions
such as; define what a principle building is, etc..
The City Planner said he would like to have a memo sent to Council
and the City Attorney listing the specific requests that they have
made and they would be before Council for the final reading.
V/M Disraelly said he would like to make one recommendation on Page
24, Line 27, under "assembly areas", "the minimum floor area". He
said he would like to add the words "enclosed by walls under a roof
proposed for a room in recreation buildings". He said there was a
problem with a developer at one time as to what is the assembly area
under a roof.
Richard Rubin suggested that this would be clarified further by adding
the words "air conditioned" to this because they could put in a Florida
room non -air conditioned and say that would satisfy the Code. The
City Planner said regarding Page 23, Section "D"; the Council is considering passing
a new Ordinanceand the way the payments are now based upon zoning districts, it will
require that every time a new zoning district is adopted this Ordinance will have to
be changed. V/M Disraelly said that all other payments have been established by

plan approval. First reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED
to meeting of 3/24/82.
Attorney Birken read the Ordinance by title. V/M Disraelly said he
does not like this because the site plan has not yet been approved by
the City Council and there is no way of knowing what will be built from
the.time the final applications come in and what is proposed to have
been sold on the site. There is no way to know if the home sites that
were being offered by a developer are in violation of the City Code in
so far as setbacks are concerned. Furthermore, there would be no way
of knowing whether they were proposing two family homes, single family
homes, multi or townhouses or whatever.
V/M Disraelly said people could be committing themselves to the purchase
of a home by a deposit which at some point in time is not built and
they would have problems. He said it seems to him what is being proposed
by the developer might even be in violation to the Land Use Plan. There
would be no means of control of the project that was being offered to
the public. He said he is against permitting sales to be made prior
to Council knowing what is happening.

1Pe this project was discussed at the last meeting and two items were

which was sent dated 3/7/82 and in this he has stated that Engineering
Drawings and the Certified Construction Cost Estimates have been
received. The Cost Estimate is acceptable in this office and the
Engineering Drawings are acceptable as red -lined. Two, the Vice
Mayor said he has some concerns regarding whether the amount or
square footage of office and warehouse space would require an add-
itional parking space in the front. He said he met with the arch-
itect and has round that the project as resubmitted does comply with
the Code; therefore, staff recommends approving the project subject to
the requirements included in the Developer's Review Status Sheet.
Richard Rubin said they have voluntarily agreed to place smoke
detectors in the project. V/M Disraelly said it was also agreed that
the dumpsters would be brought up to Code and the sidewalk at the

There are many types of problems with this. He said he does not feel

in an area such as there is under discussion at the present time,
there is much additional land where there could be other fences built
and the next fence might be of a different type of structure, one 5
feet high, one 6 feet high, one of lattice work, one of solid masonry
or one of stone, etc, He said he is opposed to changing the type
of wall permitted.
C/W Massaro said she has seen some bad conditions where these walls
occur but Barry Eden has a special reason for wanting it there.
Barry Eden said this does not give any one the absolute right to use
anything but a concrete block wall. What this does is that it dives the
Council the right to grant an exception in a particular set of circum-
stances if the Council so deems. He said this has been discussed pre-
viously and the people abutting this property have requested this type
of fence. He pointed out that masonry walls do need maintenance by way
of painting often. He said the purpose of this Ordinance is to give
Council the ability to make individual decisions concerning this.
V/M Disraelly repeated his objections and MOVED to DENY, SECONDED by
C/W Massaro.

Barry Eden said that the masonry walls are a constant problem and
Council had a verbal understanding when the site plan came in and
10 feet were given up so that they would have more of a backyard
that this was part of the package.
Tape
6 C/W Massaro said this was not a fair decision if this was the case
and she MOVED to RECONSIDER the item further to the meeting of March
16, 1982, SECONDED by V/M Disraelly.

ALL VOTED AYE
C/W Massaro said if this is considered, the City Attorney has a
sentence that is good which says, "such a wall may be approved by the
City Council at its discretion when agreed to by all the adjoining
property owners on both sides of the wall".
Attorney Birken said the City Clerk should pull the Minutes of the
meeting where the revised site plan was reviewed and C/W Massaro said
if the Minutes are not clear enough the tape should be pulled.
Barry Eden commended the Building Department for their helpfulness.
38. NW 64 Avenue - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Approval to authorize Mid -South Engineering to undertake a
traffic study in order to remove this roadway from the Broward
County Trafficways' Plan.
b) Construction of the approximately 300-feet south of Commercial
Blvd.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) C/W Massaro was
authorized to notify President of Woodlands
Homeowner's Association and report to Council,
b) City Attorney authorized to contact County notifying
them that the City agrees to allow them to move forward
on construction (300 feet south of Commercial Blvd.)
a) Attorney Birken said he was asked by the City Engineer and the City
Manager to get in touch with Mid -South Engineering concerning whether
they would be interested in providing a professional engineering
analysis and report concerning the technical aspects and reasons
why NW 64 Ave. south of Commercial Blvd. in particular should be
taken off the Broward County Trafficways' Plan.
The City Attorney said if Council wants this to be approached in a
professional manner rather than have the City at the mercy of the
County staff, he would recommend moving forward and accepting the
proposal of Mid -South. Mr. Nolan has been asked whether his firm
would be interested in becoming involved and he would defer on this
item to the expertise of Mid -South. Mid -South is representing the
City of Fort Lauderdale in a similar request and their reputation
in traffic engineering is known to Council.
The City Attorney said that the City Engineer does not feel as though
he can handle the technical traffic engineering matters. Mr. Nolan
feels that Mid -South is more qualified to do this and either the City
let the County do what they think is best or the City can provide
facts and, hopefully, the facts will be on the City's side and they
will remove 64 Ave. from the Trafficways' Plan.
V/M Disraelly said apparently the only way to get anything done is
to have a solid approach by a professional engineering concern.
C/W Massaro asked what if the City contacted the people involved
there and asked them if they want to pay for this? Attorney Birken
said this might not be a bad idea but there is not much time involved.

V/M Disraelly MOVED that C/W Massaro be authorized to contact the
President of the. Woodlands Homeowners Association to indicate to
them that the City would be happy to do a feasibility study on 64th
Ave. from Commercial Blvd. south provided that they will absorb the
costs which should not exceed $4,200.00, SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
V/M Disraelly added "and report to Council".
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
b) Attorney Birken said staff would like indication from Council that
they have no objections to what the County is proposing and that work
can commence. He said the City has very limited rights. The first 300
feet is dedicated to the public and as long as the County is proposing
minimal work that would destroy trees; as long as it's made clear that
those specific plans are all the City is agreeable to and that the
City would object to any removal of vegetation or anything else in the
outer limits shown on those plans,. then they could proceed with the
construction.
The City Attorney said the City owns the east 35 `.`eet. This is dedicated
to the City and not to the public, south from the 300 foot portion.
Attorney Birken said the plat is approved already for the 300 feet and
he cannot guarantee that the City would not be better off having nothing
there but he thinks that the County has gone as far as it can go on
redesigning the intersection.
Attorney Birken said the County staff wants to have the work done.
He said the sooner the City gives their approval the better. C/W
Massaro MOVED to authorize the City Attorney to contact the County to
notify them that the City agrees to allow them to move forward on con-
struction of the approximately 300 feet south of Commercial Blvd.

39. Drainage Improvements in the City - Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Mayor Falck
met with Sunflower people on staff
level, C/Engr. will not know where
they are until he receives permission
to move ahead.
Mayor Falck said there was an internal meeting in connection with the
items relating to Sunflower/Heathgate and they are in the process of
contacting them and their attorneys so that they can finalize the
discussions with those people.
C/W Massaro said that the City Engineer said they will not know where
they are until they have been given permission to move ahead.
40. City Council Report
V/M Disraelly said he attended a seminar last week in Fort Lauderdal,
concerning 'Resource Recovery".. There were people from various
systems present and there was discussion about the fact that there
is a problem in the County of 2,400 tons of waste generated per day.
600 tons go to Davie, 600 tons that go to Pompano to Waste Managemen-
Project up there and about 1,200 tons per day go to Pompano each day
also but they are running out of land.
He said they discussed the energy uses, material use, recovery of
metal and glass and ferrous metals, aluminum and paper, the limita-
tions of what they are doing, the benefits of the conserving of
energy, the reduction of the use of land fill, the facilitation of
burning, the energy that is created that could be sold to FP&L.
This is not a cheap thing and will run approximately $100,000,000.
- 26 - 3/10/82
/pm
V/M Disraelly said they talked about the financial aspects of
this and they hope that the energy recovery would offset the
fees and there could be a profit on this. He said he will write
something about this when he can.
V/M Disraelly said last week there was further discussion at the
County Courthouse which concerned resource recovery site approval.
The number one location is at 441 and 84. It would take about 25
acres of land. If they start the plans today the place could be
in operation in 1985. The second area would be in Fort Lauderdale
on Powerline and the third would be Port Everglades. There are
only 20 acres there and they are, in addition to that, looking for
additional landfill, about 400 acres.
V/M Disraelly said there is a place in Davie for $25,000 per acre
to purchase it and $25,000 an acre for site preparation in order
to prevent leeching. In addition to that the cost and the inpacts
that will be considered, there are two other areas that were talked
about, one near the correctional institution in Pembroke Pines and
one on Chapel Trail which is near the new 27 construction to use
part of 1800 acres there and a fourth location was at Markham Park.
V/M Disraelly said they are still probably a couple of years away
from even a determination as to what they are going to do let alone
how they are going to do it.
C/W Massaro - No Report
Mayor Falck said everyone wishes Arthur Birken well in his new
position as Judge.
42. City Attorney Report - Arthur Birken said he recommends Council
consider advertising locally in Broward, Palm Beach and Dade
Counties rather than state-wide or country -wide so that the
applicants are familiar with the problems and people of this area.
He said Alan Ruf is very competent but he is already the City
Attorney of another City and economically it would be best to
get someone as quickly as possible. Mr. Birken said he has not
spoken with the Administrative Chief of the County Court but he
imagines that April 5 would be the date he would start as County
Court Judge. He said he will submit a formal letter of recommend-
ation and it will contain his feelings for the City and members of
the Council.
