MEDITATION & PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Mayor Falck called for a Moment of Silent
Meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Falck reviewed the schedule of items on this day's Agenda. He indicated
there will be a final inspection of the Tamarac Elementary School overpass
at 2:00 P.M. this day, and at that time, he will turn the meeting over to
V/M Disraelly. Ile did request that the City Attorney, the City Engineer,
and Chief McIntosh be in attendance for the inspection, because the overpass
will not only be used during the day, but extensively at night.
In response to a question by V/M Disraelly, the Mayor indicated there is
lighting on the east side of the overpass, but none on the west side. Addi-
tionally, he stated that proposals were made for stringing lights through
the wire mesh, which he felt was impractical. Also, it was noted that the
school will be installing a new bike -rack, at a cost of $10,000; with the
suggestion of such installation being on the east side, rather than the west
side. Mayor Falck further stated that the school people could not put an
installation on land they do not own. The principal of the elementary school
concurred with the Playor, to have dry -runs, prior to the initial opening.

the specific fee is indicated to not exceed $28,000. lie said this

action to award a bid for removal of lime sludge.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted, as amended, RESOLUTION NO.R- V-e� 4 PASSED.
to CPS Construction. (See pages 11 & 12)
V/M Disraelly read Temp. Reso. #1881, and indicated that the City
Manager has recommended cleaning of the lime sludge. The three bids
that were submitted, he said, involved a tremendous difference, but
the City Engineer felt that CPS Construction was the low bidder. It was
also noted that the difference between 15 and 20 feet would be on a pro-
rata basis, if they do not go to 20 feet.
V/11 Disraelly MOVED that Temp. Reso. #1881 be ADOPTED, whereas CPS is
the lowest fully responsible bidder, and would require an amendment to
Section 1 of the resolution.
Mrs. Stuurmans addressed a question to the City Attorney, as to awarding
the bid, based on the maximum, by resolution, and whether Council could
direct the administration to pro -rate a lesser amount.
C/W Massaro felt that a right to limit would come at at the time of
removal, because there are three different bids of 10, 15 and 20 feet.
She said that a letter has to be submitted, as to acceptance of this
method.
Mr. Birken indicated that the resolution has to be phrased properly,
in order to clarify its intent, and requested this item be continued
to later in the day, to enable him to establish the language to be used

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, as submitted.
RESOLUTION NO.R- &16 Z PASSED.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1869.
The City Manager indicated that the administration was recommending
individual bid awards for Items 1,4,5,E and 7, and no award be made
on Items #2,3 and 8, at this time. She further stated that two bids
were received, on a lump sum basis, for all the items, and neither of
the bids would have yielded the receipt for the individual items men-
tioned. Mrs. Stuurmans said the highest bidder was listed in a revised
resolution, that was submitted to Council on Tuesday, April 7, 1981.
C/W Massaro MOVED that Temp. Reso. #1869 be APPROVED, as submitted,
and C/M Zemel SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
8. Bid Authorization - Public Works Department - Discussion and possible
action to allow the City Manager to go to bid for a two -post lift for
vehicular repairs.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Authorization approved for
the City Manager to go to bid.
The City Manager discussed the single post lift, and noted that the ad-
dition of the two -post lift would permit transmissions to be dropped,
prior to being rebuilt; and then replaced thereafter. The estimate,
she said, of $5,000 was for the total cost of purchase and installation,
Tape with intra-departmental sources that could be used for such funding.
49
C/M Zemel felt this equipment would be advantageous, due to the turn-
around time, and avoiding delay in vehicle repairs.
Mrs. Stuurmans indicated the Public Works Department would fund this
equipment.
C/M Zemel felt this item was one of the first to be submitted to the
Florida Innovation Group, and a report would be forthcoming, relating
to the police cars in the pool.
C/W Massaro felt that the delay of repairs to the police cars should be
further researched, and MOVED that the City Manager's office be autho-
rized to go to bid for a two -port lift for vehicular repairs, and
C/M Zemel SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

Engineer and City Attorney to contact
Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, for a written
report. City Engineer to submit a written
report to Council.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1884.
Mr. Keating advised that the storm drainage which is being proposed,
was running directly through an existing gravity sewer line. He stated
that there were two options; 1) to install a conflict box over the
gravity line, or 2) to lower the storm sewer line to approximately 2 1/2
feet, for clearance of the sanitary line; which he recommended. He also
noted that the elevation of the sewer line was checked, but did not
register, and said the design was done by Williams, Hatfield & Stoner.
He added that the two lines were shown to be crossing at the same eleva-
tion...
C/W Massaro said this should move forward, but discussion should be held
with Williams, Hatfield & Stoner by the City Engineer and the City At-
torney. She MOVED for APPROVAL of the change -order, Temp. Reso. #1884,
in order to move forward, and V/P2 Disraelly SECONDED.

MAYOR FALCK CALLED FOR A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS.......
1. Florida Power & Light Co. - Sodium Vapor Streetlights - Presentation
by Mr. Rich Arlington, Municipal Representative of FP&L.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: To be reagendized for 4/22/81,
upon completion of a new ordinance by the City
Attorney, as to street lighting requirements in
subdivisions, providing for sodium vapor lights;
with change of standards to a minimum of 5800 lumens.
The presentation was made by Rich Arlington and sill Peery of FP&L,
relating to high pressure sodium vapor lighting, and the cost saving
involved. Mr. Arlington said that the actual conversion will begin
in July of 1981, with all existing lights in the system; with a five-
year program. He indicated that they would try to convert 10% of all
the lights in their system, and throughout Florida, and approximately
20 to 22% within the next four years.
Mr. Arlington said there are new subdivisions which will require
lighting first, but conversions will be from mercury vapor to sodium
vapor. He further stated that in existing areas, the mercury vapor
lighting could remain, and is not mandatory, but must appl.y..sodium
vapor in new areas. He further noted that such use will involve a
reduction of foreign oil dependency, also, lowering the street light
cost to the City, by reducing the energy charge and fuel costs, with
additional efficiency. Mr. Arlington advised that there is no addi-
tional charge to the cities for the conversion, and provides uniform
light source within the territorial boundaries. He additionally stated
that it meets the conservation goal set by the PSC.
The conversion, he said, would be from 4500 mercury vapor to 5800
sodium vapor lumens. Mr. Arlington advised that in 1981 there will be
a savings of 18,000,000 kilowatt hours, with the annual fuel cost
savings being approximately $845,000. Ile further stated that in 1990
there will be a savings of 110,000,000 kilowatt hours and approximately
$10,000,000 in fuel costs.
Mr. Arlington said there are approximately 1453 mercury vapor lights
with 4500 lumens, which involves a monthly cost and fuel adjustment,
in the amount of $6.33_per light.
V/M Disraelly indicated that the present company owned fixture is
$5.10, with the fuel adjustment figure varying every six months, to
which Mr. Arlington responded that the 5800 lumens fixture tariff will be
$5.00, and sodium vapor uses less energy, from 25 to 50% savings.
Mr. Peery responded to a question of C/M Kravitz, by stating that
the Public Service Commission has set goals for FP&L, in the direction
of the State Legislature, for the reduction in the use of fuel oil of
25%, by the year 1990. This, he said, is one part of a 20 program plan
to meet that goal. It is, he further stated, sponsored by the State.
Mr. Arlington said the illumination could be stepped --up or down, by
one grade, in the City. He said the City Engineer could determine
the proper size lighting that is necessary.

In response to a question by C/W Kravitz, Mr. Arlington felt there
will be a definite saving,but there is a gain in lighting, which also
gives more lumens, involving cheaper maintenance..
The FP&L representatives showed slides for the next ten minutes, on
the difference between mercury vapor and high pressure sodium vapor
lighting.
C/W Massaro confirmed the fact that there will be no charge by FP&L to
the City, for conversion from mercury to sodium vapor lighting, but the
fuel adjustment charge is determined by inflation.
Mr. Peery indicated that the cost will be absorbed on an overall basis,
for conversion, by the rate payers. Ile also responded to questions, by
stating that sodium vapor will give constant output, until the light dies.
He further stated that mercury vapor deteriorates gradually, and gives
poorer lighting.
Mayor Falck advised that changes are required in the Code, and this
will not be resolved today. He also felt this item could be taken under
advisement, and reagendized to the April 22nd, 1981 meeting.
C/W Massaro said this item should be addressed immediately, because
there are particular lights that are necessary to install in existing
subdivisions.
Mr. Keating indicated, that if it is not contrary to the ordinance,
then sodium vapor lighting could be put in new subdivisions, to which
the City Manager said that Chapter 24 specifies mercury vapor of 4500
lumens, on a concrete pole.
Mr. Keating said that he would recommend a change, to which Mayor Falck
reiterated that this item will be reagendized for the April 22nd, 1981
meeting, with notification to FP&L.
COMMUNITY DEVELOP11ENT
31. Lakeside of Tamarac - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Site Plan
b) Plat -- Temp. Reso. #1887
c) Landscape Plan _
d) Water and Sewer Developers Agreement
(located on the west side of State Road 7 north of Commercial Plaza)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) & b)-Tabled to 4/22/81,
based on input from the City Attorney; c) & d)-
Tabled to 4/22/81.
a) Julian Bryan represented the developer, and indicated that the rear
portion is zoned R-4A, which permits multi -family residential, with
15.02 acres. A development, he said, is planned of 208 two-story
apartments, as reflected on the site plan. Mr. Bryan said that tie
was informed on Tuesday, 4/7/81, of an inconsistency between the
record plat and his site plan, which was his fault. It was his ne-
glect, by not removing a note from the site plan, which reflected
a 22 foot canal maintenance easement around the lake area. The note,
he stated, was removed, but was aware of the 15 foot strip along the
north property line, that must be vacated. It was his understanding
that it would require approval of the record plat, by Council, with
a recommendation that such portion of the plat be vacated as a public
right-of-way. Thereafter, he said, the County would be required to
take action, on the platting review.
Mr. Birken indicated that whether or not it is vacated, setbacks are
proper on the site plan. Ile also said, if it is to be vacated, the
method would have to be by application, with consideration by the City
and County; and involve approval of a resolution. Ile further stated
that the note on the plat is appropriate at this time, which indicates
right -of --way to be vacated.
Mr. Bryan advised that they have made an application, and paid the
$25.00 filing fee, within the past few days.

Hugh Davis, the Surveyor for Lakeside, felt it would have to be adver-
tised, based on an ordinance and vacating a public right -of --way, to
which the City Attorney concurred that it may be accomplished by ordi-
nance.
Mr. Keating informed Council that he was informed of this order to
vacate yesterday, but felt that questions did require answers on the
vacation of the right-of-way.
b) V/M Disraelly indicated that he discussed the items with the City Attor-
ney yesterday, and, in turn, Julian Bryan, was contacted. The site plan
does show the vacation of the 15 foot right-of-way, he stated. He said
that the site plan shows an easement which they do not want, to the west,
but was not included on the plat. Ile said there was some concern as to
a drainage ditch. If the site plan is approved, he said, then it would
also indicate approval of a vacation.
Mr. Birken advised that the 15 feet does not affect the ability to ap-
prove the site plan, but the verbiage would have to be changed.
C/W Massaro requested that Evan Cross, the City Planner, check the reten-
tion area for the entire tract, and whether it also includes the business
area. She said at a previous Council meeting there was discussion of
a serious problem, which was unanticipated, involving a tremendous cost
that was completely unconscionable. C/W Massaro indicated that relief
was requested in the park and recreation fees, and the method of payment
that was involved, for the full amount of $101,250.00. It was her sug-
gestion that Council consider permitting payment of $50,625, if approved
this day, with the balance to be paid before a first permit is obtained.
She further stated that 50% was submitted to the City Clerk, or the sum
of $50,625.00, with a request to pay the balance when the first permit
is obtained, shortly after plat approval by the County.
Mr. Birken advised that Council does not have this authority, and payment
has to be made at the time of plat approval.
Mr. Bryan said approximately 1 1/2 years previous, in the construction
of Commercial Boulevard, the County advised that the major outfall line
would be removed which serves the Treehouse project, under Commercial
Boulevard, and drains south to the canal. He said that Councilmembers,
Leadership Housing and he requested to change the situation and install
the proper size piping. In conjunction with that, he said, an analysis
was made of the undeveloped properties, which was then known as the
Modell tract. Thereafter, it was purchased by Mr. Granados and Granek
properties, which included the balance of the undeveloped Leadership
property.This would be the second and third phases of Treehouse, he
said, and the commercial frontage on State Road 7.
Mr. Bryan said contributions were made towards the sizing of the new
pipe under Commercial Boulevard, and recognizing the requirement of a
42 inch line in Treehouse Lane, which is the existing entry road to
the project. Subsequently, he said, when his people confronted Leader-
ship Housing, indicating there is an easement that goes around the
property, but is not feasible to go around Treehouse, by putting in a
new parallel line. He further stated that for $50,000 they were told
they could tie into the 42 inch line; which records are noted in the
Engineering Department, as to the agreement and sizing of the line.
Mr. Bryan said there has been a change, with a recommendation that a
new parallel line be installed.
Mr. Bryan said they would go around Treehouse and put in a new separate
line in the easement, also indicating for the record to not seek any
building permits until the balance of the fee has been paid.
V/M Disraelly suggested that a barrier be installed, where the future
road tie-in is to be, rather than a 30 inch hedge.
It was further noted by Mr. Bryan that the Fire Chief suggested a hedge,
rather than a barrier, in order to permit entry from the new fire sta-
tion into Treehouse, because a guard rail would limit this, to which
Evan Cross concurred that the Fire Chief did request a non --permanent
barrier.

The City Attorney said the plat requirements were changed last year,
but not put into the Code book. He strongly suggested that Council
Tape not take action until written documents are prepared and agreed to by the

a) The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1888, and indicated that the
Bill of Sale was acceptable, with a recommendation from the City
Engineer.
C/W Massaro MOVED for APPROVAL of Temp. Reso. #1888, as presented,
and V/M Disraelly SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
b) Mr. Birken read Temp. Reso. #1889.
C/W Massaro MOVED for APPROVAL of the release of the performance
bond, for public improvements, plus receipt of a one-year warranty
bond, by Temp. Reso. #1889. V/M Disraelly SECONDED the MOTION, but
indicated to Council that the Construction Cost form notes a balance
due to Montwood, of an overpayment of $355.68, which should not be
included. He felt that it was the practice of the City Council to
make refunds on construction costs, when over -estimated, with a
request to have this checked, and questioned the reason for the
reduction of $650.00 from the fee.
Candy Mehling of Keith & Schnars, representing Montwood, advised
that the $650 and $450 figures were both noted on the approved cost
estimate, prior to construction, and initialed by the City Engineer's
office. She further stated that the number showing a balance, is
the actual balance after construction costs were certified; which
Montwood was willing to waive. The record indicates, she said, that
the bond originally exceeded the actual construction cost. She res-
ponded to a question by V/M Disraelly, by stating that the $650 was
the review fee paid prior to planning the site plan and plat approval,
which was added to the original cost estimate by the Engineer's office.
V/M Disraelly discussed the fees paid, with the corrected amount of
fees totaling $23,934.70, less $1100.00 fees that were paid, would
indicate the City was entitled to $22,800. The record indicates
payment of fees in the amount of $22,190, and felt there was a dis-
crepancy.
C/W Massaro inquired whether this could be approved, subject to re-
view of the computation, and payment of fees, if they are required.
She then INCLUDED ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE IN HER MOTION; that certified
costs and the bonding amounts, are subject to further review, and,
if any money is due, that it will be paid before release of the bond.

The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #871, and noted that a portion of
State Road 7 is shown on the legal description of the City, in the
Charter, but was never annexed to the City, but is under the jurisdic-
tion of the City of Lauderdale Lakes. An error was discovered, in the

Mr. Birken read Temp. Reso. #1854, and said there was no requirement

Mayor Falck explained that the resolution provides for an increase in

35. Burnham Lea (formerly Heftler Homes) - Model Sales Facility - Discussion
and possible action concerning Certificates of Occupancy for Lots 3 and
4 of Block 3.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, with conditions.
Steve Moody, the Attorney representing Charmec Corporation, present
owners of Heftler Homes, indicated there was a request at the 2/25/81
Council meeting, for C.O.s to be approved for Lots 3 and 4, on Block 3.
Permits were granted at the time, he said, but no C.O.s
C/W Massaro felt that if someone wants to buy a home, and is aware of
the nuisance of being close to a model sales facility, and the traffic
it involves; should not he prevented from such a purchase. She then
MOVED to GRANT their request.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
V/M Disraelly inquired as to Lots l and 7, to which Mr. Moody responded
that these lots were in Block 1, and were within the 150 foot radius,
with no plans at this time for building.
V/M Disraelly asked Mr. Moody whether an agreement could be obtained
for Charmec Corporation, as to not requesting permits for Lots 1 and 7,
Block 1, until the other lots have been sold. He referred to a prior
meeting, and the two stipulations that were involved.
Mr. Moody responded that there was no intention to build at the present
time, and further explained that Charmec Corporation purchased the sub-
division under an option agreement; whereby they could buy "X" number
of lots, build and sell, and then buy additional lots.
C/M Zemel inquired as to the hardship for this waiver, to which Mr.Moody
stated that when his client, Charmec Corporation came in, that these
houses were already under a building permit, which was issued in May of
1979. He further added that Heftler Homes felt there was no problem,
because a waiver was granted from the City Council, in December of 1979.
When the permit was requested, at the 2/25/81 meeting, he felt that the
City. Council was not aware of previous approval of Certificates of Occu-
pancy on Lots 3 and 4.
The City Attorney responded to a question of C/M Zemel, by stating that
he could not give an "off -the --cuff" opinion on whether the successors of
Heftler Homes; namely, Charmec Corporation, and the conditions involved,
could be legally passed --on. Mr. Birken felt that he would have to re-
search the regulations and the case -law on such a question. It could be
enacted, he said, on its own merits, if the request is legitimate; with
Council making the determination on a hardship.
V/M Disraelly MOVED that permission

38. Blasting and Possible Home Damage - Northwestern Area of City - Dis-
cussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Recommendation was made
for group insurance coverage.
Tape C/M Zemel requested action to be considered for alleged damage incurred
#6 to homes in the City of Tamarac. He further stated that the blasting
experiments have stopped, with no complaints forthcoming from the com-
munity leaders or residents within the past two weeks. It was felt,
he said, that the amount of dynamite being used, has been cut -in -half;
with explosions going towards the Everglades, rather than Tamarac.
C/M Zemel additionally stated that 80 or 90 complaints have come from
residents of Sections 23, 24 and Springlakes, as to damage to their
homes, as a result of the dynamiting.
C/W Massaro felt that the problem appears to have been resolved, so
that the people can live with it. She said that the investigation of
the damage to homes, by the City, would be opening "Pandora's box",
and should be limited to the insurance companies.
Mayor Falck felt that due to the large number of people involved, plus
the great number of companies it entails; that discussions should be
held with the insurance representatives and the residents, for accom-
plishing this in a group form.
C/M Zemel indicated that the largest insurer in the area, did agree
there were damages incurred by the blasting, and felt that it could
and should be handled by a group, to the insurance company, for it
to be more effective. He said that Mr. Birken confirmed the fact that
it was not a City province.

Mrs. Stuurmans read Temp. Reso.#1886.
V/M Disraelly opened the discussion to the public.
Barry Flickstein indicated that he was representing the Jack Lalanne
Health & Fitness Center.
Florence Hart, a resident of Academy Hills, submitted a petition with
124 signatures, as to the zoning which permits such a center; which
was read into the record by V/M Disraelly. It was also noted that
additional traffic conditions would jeopardize the safety of school
children in the area.
Evan Cross, the City Planner, advised that other than alcoholic beverages
being served, no other business has specific time closings. He also
noted that Athletic Clubs are permitted, under the Business Use Ordi-
nance #81-2, in any business zone, or by Special Exception.
Mr. Flickstein said that the hours of the club was currently being planned
from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. during the week; and weekends from 9:00 A.M.
to 6:00 P.M., which is Saturdays and Sundays. Ile further indicated there
is no other health and fitness center in the City of Tamarac, and felt
that the people should not be deprived of such a facility.
C/M Zemel inquired about a pool, steam room and sauna, to which Barry
Flickstein concurred, and indicated there would be no food, wines, liquors
or alcoholic beverages perrritted,or served. Mr. Flickstein further agreed,
as presented to the Planning Commission, that the maximum hours would be
9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. during the week, and from 9:00 A.M., to no later
than 6:00 P.M., on Saturdays and Sundays. He further said that the
earliest opening, by demand, might be 8:00 A.M.
In response to a question of C/M Zemel, Mr. Flickstein stated there
would be approximately 30 clients at the health center,between 8:00 to
10:00 A.M.; with the 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. time being a slow period.
Mort Student indicated that people were not aware of this item being

Mr. Flickstein distributes copies of the site plan to Council., also,
posting it on the board.
Barry Eden indicated that this has been approved by the City, and that
rezoning was requested. But,the City determined to develop this in a
B-6 concept,he said, as long as no food establishments were involved
in the center. He further stated that there will be a minor modifica-
tion on the roof -line. Mr. Eden said that the Woodmont Country Club
developers approved the use of their logo at the Woodmont Plaza.
Anna Kolber, a resident of Academy Hills, inquired as to the height of
the building, to which Mr. Eden indicated it would be one-story, with
no elevators, or food stores being permitted along McNab Road, and in
the B-6 zoning.
Tape V/M Disraelly indicated that this building does not go up to the bank,
#7 and there will be additional open land involved, with a zoning of B-6.
Also, he.said, there will be a six-foot high wall separating Academy
Hills from this project, with parking between the wall and the building.

33. Cypress III and IV (Woodmont Tracts 68 and 77) and Pines III (Woodmont
Tract 54) - Model ^Sales Facility - Discussion and possible action on a
request to permit a model sales facility and a waiver of the 300--foot
distance for Certificates of Occupancy requirement.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Model Sales Facility approved
within Cypress III project; all other items tabled
to future meeting.
Gene Toll, of Toll Development, believed that at the time the site plan
and plat approvals were given, it also included the model buildings.
Everything, he said, was submitted to Evan Cross, as per his letter,
with requirements, which was dated 4/1/81. Fie requested that Cypress
III be discussed first, relating to the requirements of the model
building; which could be followed by the waiver of the 300-foot dis-
tance. One building was erected, he said., with three apartments being
used as models, and one, as an office. The balance of the building,
he indicated, is empty; and two more buildings are being constructed
on that site, namely, buildings 2 and 9, with #10 to follow.
Mr. Toll presently requested use of the building for model sales, and
would then ask for Certificates of Occupancy.
Mr. Cross advised that under Section 28-216 of the Code, which is
Ordinance 80-56, the City Council is to grant a six (6) month permit
for use of a building for model, office and adminstrative use. By
separate motion, he said, Council has been approving or denying the
two-way waiver, either one for parking, which is not necessary in
this instance, under the present Code; or the distance requirement
of 300 feet. At the moment, this should be considered under Cypress
III.
Mr. Toll advised that a waiver is not necessary for the parking, because
it has been put in, to which V/M Disraelly said that it did not match
Mr. Cross' letter.
V/M Disraelly said that, as of Sunday, there were no wheel stops in
front of the entrances to the apartment, at the right,and directly in
front, to which Mr. Toll said they were removed, but are presently
there. He was informed by his Project Manager that everything is in
compliance at this time.
Mr. Toll said that previously a form was used, which was a letter signed
by each Owner, for every tract, prior to contract, to enable them to
continue use of the models, which was within the proximity of the ordi-
nance.
C/W Massaro felt this should be handled under the same conditions, and
realized it was difficult to leave a building vacant, with the cost of
mortgages at this time. She MOVED to permit the model sales office in
this building.
Mr. Toll felt that the model sales office and site plan were approved at
the same time, to which Mr. Cross indicated that the model sales fee
was not paid.

mr/
W
C/M Kravitz inquired whether the entire item has to,be handled in a
package, or can be done separately; to which V/M Disraelly stated that
it was his understanding that each one should be done individually.
He also said if there was previous approval, the minutes would have
reflected this.
Katie Braiman, of Toll Development, said letters were presented to
the Building Department, as part and parcel, in obtaining the C.O.s,
at the request of Council.
V/M Disraelly indicated that he would like to review the Council minutes
granting approval to the Building Department, for issuance of C.O.s in
these areas, because it is not stated in the Model Sales Ordinance. He
further stated that it would be a deviation from the model sales office.
V/k1 Disraelly said this was discussed at a Council two weeks previous,
and such a petition was denied for someone else.
Mr. Toll advised Council that people will be living upstairs in this
building, and, also living within 300 feet in Buildings 2 and 9; and
felt the approval was urgent, because he sold the first unit with
an 11 3/4% mortgage.
Mr. Cross informed Council that Mr. Toll's letter named Ordinance 77-12,
which was amended by 0--80-56, and the request for submission of letters
might have been under the previous ordinance.
V/M Disraelly explained that Concord Village used a particular building
for model sales; Tamarac Gardens is building a separate one for model
sales, while other buildings were being constructed.
FIVE-MINUTE RECESS CALLED.......
Mr. Toll requested that only model sales use approval be considered
today, at Cypress Ill, also, noting that everything has been..complied
with as stated in Evan Cross' letter.
C/W Massaro AMENDED HER MOTION, to GRANT permission for the model sales
facility within the Cypress III project, and C/M Kravitz SECONDED.
Mr. Cross explained the fact that Cypress III consists of two tracts,
68 and 77, to which Mr. Toll again requested permission to use building
1 in Tract 68, as a model building. Mr. Toll indicated that. Tract 54,
whichconsists of villas, Pines III, has not been cleared by the Plan-
ning Commission at this time.
Mr. Birken indicated that the site plan has not been approved, which
would be followed by model sales approval, to which V/M Disraelly recom-
mended that model sales be considered at this time -for Cypress III.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
C/W Massaro MOVED that all other discussion of Item #33, be TABLED to
a future meeting, and C/M Zemel SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
V/M Disraelly thanked the Council members for their cooperation in the
handling of the Public Hearing items; and, then turned the gavel over to

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Model Sales Facility tabled
to , with revised site plan being submitted
to Planning Commission; waiver for C.O. tabled to future.
C/W Massaro suggested to separate this item, to which Mr. Toll said
that he concurred, and would only request the model sales facility
at this time; and, bringing the balance of C.O. requirement to Council,
at a future date.
C/W Massaro MOVED that Mr. Toll be granted permission to use the model
sales facility within Southgate Gardens East complex, and C/M Kravitz

Mr. Toll said that he was in receipt of a letter from Mr. Cross, which
was reviewed by Larry Keating, with objections to the temporary entrance
in the model area, being too close to the intersection. He did agree
to move this within the next 10 days, and could be used as an emergency
entrance, until completion of the development. He felt that portion
Tape of the item could be tabled until a later date, when additional parking
48 could be installed.
Mr. Birken indicated that even if it is temporary, there should be a
revised site plan, which is required prior to initiation of the con-
struction and development of the land, for public or private improve-
ments, and so forth. He also noted the only exclusions are single or
two-family residence and a change in the appearance of the structure
or property owned by the City. Fie further stated that a site plan pre-
viously approved by the City Council, and proposed to be revised in
any manner, either by the developer or the City, shall first be submitted
to the Planning Commission. It would thereafter be presented to Council,
prior to the issuance of any permit, except where total building coverage
or parking requirements have not increased, and vehicular circulation
is not changed.
Mr. Toll indicated that he was not required to put in 71st Street, 4nd
was not part of this property,or being accessed. lie said the Fire Chief
and Police Chief requested that 71st Street be cut, and paid the entire
bill; with an agreement established whereby the City would refund 50%
of the monies spent, if there was no development within the next five
years.
V/M Disraelly and C/W Massaro felt that the records should be checked,
or a revised site plan has to be submitted, because there is no record
of a model request.
Mr. Birken reiterated that if the traffic circulation is not changed,
then it could be presented directly to the City Council.
C/W Massaro inquired whether the Planning Commission could have a joint
meeting on this subject, with submission by Mr. Toll, of a revised site
plan.
Mr. Cross advised that staff has no problem, but Council has to act on
a revised site plan, and would place it on the Planning Commission for
for the April 15, 1981 meeting, and have it returned to Council for
their regular meeting of April 22, 1981.
C/W Massaro withdrew her previous MOTION, and C/PZ Kravitz concurred.
C/W Massaro then MOVED to TABLE the item to the next regular meeting of
April 22, 1981, on the model sales facility only, providing that a
revised site plan has been submitted to the Planning Commission for
consideration, and C/M Zemel SECONDED.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, as amended RESOLUTION NO.R- $/-2.?^PASSED.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1876, and indicated that the deed
and resolution stem from the July 31, 1979 agreement with Leadership
Housing. He said that at that time, they gave the City a list of all
the property where taxes were being paid, but the City chose the parcels
they were interested in. Through no fault of Leadership's, he said,
the property taxes have not been resolved, which involved some confusion
on one parcel in the western portion of the City, with an outstanding
amount of $727.00. Additionally, he said, that Leadership stated that
if adjustments are to be made, they will be paid and pro -rated through
this day's date.
Mr. Birken said that he has been attempting to reach Mrs. Rabinowitz,
of Leadership, that the resolution be passed, subject to payment by
Leadership, of all outstanding real property taxes, in the amount of
$727.00, with any adjustments being paid on a pro-rata basis for this
year's taxes.
The City Attorney indicated that rights--of-way were being given for

Mr. Birken said the amount would be $727.00, plus adjustments from the
interim to the permanent tax roll.

of Zacks Restaurant, was originally in the tax rolls, but was not
included in the quit -claim deed, dated 9/26/80; and, was previously
discussed as a canal. He requested that the City Clerk or City Attorney
research the situation on Parcel 11, and to not leave this on the
tax roll of Leadership, because it is a canal.

County, with the work going on at Rock Island Road, which they want
to replace. But, the people at the County, were requested to not
replace these trees, because Ralph Thissen indicated that he could not
get his boat into the area. She further stated that Mainlands I was
frightened, and complaints were made by the people, which left the
area open to intruders. C/W Massaro said she could discuss this with
Ralph Thissen, also, feeling that the plantings could be done without
any objection, by Mr. Theiss.
V/M Disraelly said that based on discussions held this day, and the
input submitted by the City Attorney, as to ordinances, he suggested
that he prepare a new ordinance, changing requirements for street
lighting in subdivisions, providing for sodium vapor lights, by
changing the standards from 4500 to a minimum of 5800 lumens.
He also discussed power boats in the secondary canals, and whether this
could be restricted, to which the City Attorney responded that they are
public canals and rights -of -way. The Vice -Mayor said that more people
were concerned, and could go into the C-14 canal; with a request that
the City Attorney investigate and research the possibility of no boats
in secondary canals.
V/M Disraelly said that based on the input received for model sales,
he felt it should be re --reviewed and clarified by the City Attorney.
40. City Manager
No Report.
C/W Massaro requested that Section 9 be re-examined, because double
amounts of monies were being paid for lighting, to which Mayor Falck
suggested that the Acting City Manager follow-through with the area
west of Brookwood Boulevard.
41. City Attorney
Mr. Birken reported that the Executive Board of the Broward League
of Cities voted to explore the possibility of litigation, as relates
to the Plat Ordinance. He said that Attorneys were to be contacted
by the League regarding the challenge of the ordinance, and possibili-
ties of going to Court. He additionally stated that the cities in the
County will be contacted, for their interest in this, and felt that
Council might wish to discuss this at a future meeting, for an amend-
ment. He said that Mayor Falck and he have been actively involved in
this matter, and will continue to keep Council advised for develop-
ments.

The City Attorney discussed the overpass at the Elementary School,
which the Mayor and he walked -through, with a suggestion that the
Council members would be interested in viewing the area, and walking
across the overpass. Ile said there were some items of concern in the
area, which the architect felt was no problem. Mr. Birken indicated
that the height of the fence and some open areas did have to be checked,
which would be addressed to Broward County.
Mayor Falck felt that the screening should be installed flush with
the railing, which has been modified in some areas, by putting in rods.
He also noted that mesh and bolts could very easily be lifted.
Mr. Birken further stated that the City will be responsible for the
maintenance of the overpass, but prior to acceptance, it should be in
proper order. He said the County built it, and until conveyed to the
City, the responsibility is still theirs.
The Mayor said the overpass was far from being acceptable. He further
stated that there is lighting on the east side of the pass, but might
additionally require lighting on the west side.
Tape Mayor Falck indicated that the bike -rack was "on -hold" at this time.
