C/M Kravitz MOVED to APPROVE the budget amendment (See Attachment 1) that $2,000 from Line Item #001-872-581-901 of the budget named "Contingency" be transferred to Line Item #001-167-519-210 for $1,900 (and Line Item #0p1-_161-519-21-0--.for S1QIl) which......w.nUld- LO to the. -Charter C_aa_r.d. requl.br salaries and FICA taxes.

First Reading. (tabled from 4/13/83). SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED on first reading. Jon Henning read the Ordinance by title and Mayor Falck said on 4/18/83 he sent Council a detailed explanation of all the changes proposed in connection with this Ordinance. He said the additional benefits that are being requested by the Police and Fire are being paid for by them. He said their contribution will be increased from the 1% the Plan originally provided for to 5% which will provide them with additional benefits on retirement. He said the other items he commented on are items that will help the plan to be a better one and protect it. He said at the present time the disability provision states that if the individual can no longer perform active work in his particular department, he is considered totally disabled. He said this is in conformance with the Workers Compensation law that existed at the time this plan was adopted and since that time it has been changed by the State and the individual who is disabled has been encouraged to take other work and employers have been encouraged to hire these people in order to prevent the Workers Compensation and Pension Plans from "going broke". C/M Kravitz said at last night's Charter Board meeting it was pointed out to the City Attorney that the Ordinances should be read in full so that their complete content can be known to the public. Mayor Falck said this was done at one time and Mr. Birken, past City Attorney, suggested that they be posted and use the title only in essence of time. C/M Stelzer commended Mayor Falck on his detailed explanation of the Pension to Council members and all the other Council members concurred. - 6 - 4/27/83 /pm J C/M Krantz pointed out that the Beautification Committee is currently conducting a Workshop on a Sign Ordinance which is 31 pages long and the length of the Ordinance would have to be considered.

The Fina Station came to the City with a proposal to reconstruct their station located on Commercial Blvd. and Prospect Ave. He said since this site predates many of the City's Ordinances, it was necessary for the applicant to go to the Board of Adjustment in order to allow him to proceed with the review. The Board of Adjustment reviewed the application and determined that they would allow reduction of the size of the site because of right--of-way which was required for Commercial Blvd. which was not a self-imposed hardship and they made several conditions to the usage of the site. He said the site is just over half an acre in size, is zoned B2 and the station is planned to be constructed with a convenience store. V/M Massaro listed the conditions that were necessary for approval which were agreed to by Mark Thompson, representative for Darby and Way: 1. Expand the right hand turn lane to include a deceleration lane on Prospect Rd. 2. The regrading of the asphalt parking area in the rear.

Auditing Services - Discussion and possible action on a proposal from Alexander Grant & Co. to perform an internal control audit. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The City Manager was authorized to hire Alexander Grant & Co. for an internal audit at a cost not to exceed $10,000. The following is a verbatim transcript of Item 12, requested by the City Manager: City Mang er, Laura Stuurmans: We have received copies of the letter from Bert Ermyer, representing exan er Grant and Company, proposing to perform certain internal control audit procedures for the City in an amount of $10,000. The initial letter had indicated $12,500., that was reduced to the amount of $10,000. This morning I transmitted to you a brief memo indicating that I an recommending to Council that in order to expedite this project that we accept and approve the offer of Alexander Grant. Mayor Falck: Does this have anything at all to do with the tie-in for the audit for the current year? City Manama Stuurmans: No, this relates simply to a work project for an internal control audit for the City, at a cost of $10,000. Mayor Falck: Okay, then the City Council will determine what they want in the way of information as it relates to the audit for the fiscal year ending September 30, City Manager Stuurmans: The scope of the financial audit. Mayor Falck: It is not tied in with this at all. City Manager Stuurmans: That is correct. Vice Ma or Massaro: Mr. Mayor, I would like to ask something about this. When you ta.k about an internal control audit, just what are they going to do, Laura, what depart -rents are they going to - will this encompass this $10,000. City Mans er Stunxnnans: I will touch upon the points that are set forth in Mr. Emmer s mew because what he has offered - to summarize the - Vice Mayor Massaro: Laura, excuse me one second, I don't want to know specifically in each department what he is going to do, but I would like to know what depart- ments he is going to - City Manager Stuurmans: As reflected in his second paragraph, the scope of their activities will include Public Works, Police, Building and Utility Departments. Vice Ma or Massaro: Oh, that's not taking Finance. City Manager Stuurmans: Our test will be limited to the procedures in those departments . Our work will not constitute an examination made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly will not express an opinion. Vice Ma or Massaro. I don't seem to have that. I wonder why Finance was left out. Is there any reason why Finance Department was left out? Cou ciln Kravitz: Mayor, in my discussion with Bert Emmer, it was my under- standing that the internal control audit will take in all departments and to check out internal control, not only as to the past audit, but also as to recommendations for the future in having a system in the City of internal control. Vice Mayor Massaro: Well, wouldn't that have to take in the Finance Department? Councilman Kravitz That does take in the Finance Department. To the best of my ability. Vice Mayor Massaro: They don't specifically say that. I didn't have this letter. or I would have questioned it sooner. 10 - 4/27/83 / pm Councilman Kravitz: I believe I took that up with Bert Emmer and he said it would take in all areas of the City, however, what he said was he was concerned more with the areas or departments that were handling monies or inventories and there he was more concerned than the others. City Mana er Stuurmans: Councilman Kravitz, you will recall that one of the things Bert said is that of course in terms of the Finance Department, they are through the financial compliance audit reviewed on an annual basis. Councilman Kravitz: That is correct. City Manager_ Stuurmans: So the relationship will be as how these depart- ments are interacting procedurally with the Finance Dept. Yes, to that extent. Vice _Mayor Massaro: This is why I am saying that it has to include the Finance De- partment, because no matter what he tests internally in each department, how it reaches Finance and how Finance is aware of where it stands and how they can tell us where things stand, I think is most important, more important than the internal control of the depdr-LmeiiLs. City : Yes, and to the extent of that interaction, yes, they will be working in terms of the Finance Dept. as well. Vice Mayor Massaro: All right, fIne. Thank you very much. Councilman Stelzer: Mr. Mayor, I understand in addition to doing an internal control audit, he is going to set up proper procedures to continue internal control, so you won't have any problems in the future. Cit,y Mana er Stuurmans: Right, that is a prime result of this examination. Councilman Kravitz: That's correct. Vice Mayor Massaro: I would expect that, yes. Councilman Kravitz: That is. Ray Munitz: While I may be the President of the President's Council, my comments are not in any way related to that position, but they are related to the fact that I am a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Florida, State of New York, and have been such since 1939. As far as I am con- cerned, this item is long past overdue, and has been four years in coming. Starting with the actual wording of Item 12, I think what you are really looking for is to perform an evaluation of existing internal control procedures. This is what you real.ly want. You don't basically want the items that the City Manager has stipulated, because that will get you nowhere. The purpose of this is to have an evaluation of existing internal control procedures to recognize its weaknesses, to recognize its strength and make recommendations. Vice Mayor Massaro: That's wh.at I thought we were doing. Ray Munitz: Well, an internal control audit... Vice Mayor. Massaro: That'.s what we are doing. Phil just said the same thing, that's what we are doing. Councilman Stelzer: I just asked for an explanation on that. Councilman Kravitz: Mayor, in my discussion that is exactly what we are proposing to him on the internal control audit. Ray_ Munitz: It will be a complete evaluation? Councilman Kravitz: It will be an evaluation on the past, and setting up procedure for the future so that we correct anything that is incorrect, that is exactly what we discussed at the time. Ray Munitz: Thank you. Vice_ Moor Massaro: Mr. Mayor, I would MOVED the APPROVAL of the City Manager being authorized to hire Alexander Grant to do this internal audit in accordance with the discussions we have had here this morning so that it encompasses what we understand that they are going to be doing. 4/27/83 /pm Councilman Kravitz: May I make one addition to that, Vice Mayor, at a cost not to exceed 1 ,000. Vice Mayor Massaro: Yes, I took that for granted, I should state that, of course, - as indicated this morning, at a cost not to exceed $10,000. Councilman Kravitz: Because when we say based upon our discussion, he may assume it wasadditl6m—1 items, but we want it stipulated that it is not to exceed $10,000. Vice�Maor Massaro: If there is any problem, then you don't hire him and come back - Councilman Kravitz. Right. Then on that,I will SECOND the NBD'TION. Mayor Falck: We have a MOTION, we have a SECOND. Discussion on the Motion? Call the question, please.

Pier 441 West at 8765 NW 57 St. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED with conditions. RESOLUTION NO. R— PASSED. Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and V/M Massaro asked if the request for the transfer had been made by the prospective owner and Edward Darragh, attorney for the prospective owner said the contract is contingent on the approval of all State and local agencies.

He said they will not consider this without a signature from someone from the City and their procedure takes at least 3 weeks. V/M Massaro said there is no question that the zoning Ordinances are in order and she questioned why the applicant did not come in and see the Police Chief. Mr. Darragh said he had no knowledge of a request that the applicant should appear before the Police Chief. V/M Massaro MOVED that the change be APPROVED to Anna Maria Restaurant, Inc. d/b/a Pier 441 West with the same conditions, that they cannot be transferred to someone else subject to the owner or authorized person to come to the Police Chief.

Reso. #2685 - Discussion and possible action to approve an ingress egress driveway between Lots 42 and 43 of Block 16 as requested by Golf Tam, Inc. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED to 5/11/83 meeting. The following verbatim transcript was requested by Vice Mayor Massaro: Mayor Falck: Mr. Henning, we are assembled to hear Item #27, Tamarac Lakes South Site Plan, Temporary. Resolution. We have a copy of the letter from Mr. Broad, Mr. Broad is the gentleman sitting down in front. Jon Henning: Yes, we have one. Ma. or Falck: Right. Okay. In my conversation with you as it related to the City s position in this particular matter, you indicated that Mr. Ruf, our Assistant City Attorney, has a presentation to make. My inclination, even in light of this, since,Mr. Ruf has someone here, since I know people are back there from the South and I understand those people are not going to be here, that we ought to hear these people and then Council can decide to Table, if that is what they want to do. Is that right? Is that proper? Jon Henning: That is accurate, that is correct; and I see no prejudice in, certainly in proceeding at this point. Certainly if anything, it would be a benefit to Mr. Broad to see what the City's point of view is and giving him another two weeks to prepare his side of, of taking an advantage. Vice Mayor Massaro: Mr. Mayor, do I understand this correctly then that our Assistant City Attorney and the Consulting Engineers will be making a presen- tation and will be outlining everything and at which time Council could then respect Mr. Broad's request for a Tabling action? Mayor Falck: That is right, that's my philosophy on it. Mr. Ruf? Alan Ruf: Members of Council, Good Afternoon. It is always a pleasure to be witF� you, in your beautiful City. As you all know, the matter of access from Golf Tam Village to or through the City of Tamarac has been the subject of concern by the residents of Tamarac Lakes South for many years, and at one time the City was, in fact, involved in litigation in the Circuit Court for the 17th Circuit, Broward County, with the various owners of the land that makes up the Golf Tam Plat or the Golf Tam Site Plan. It is a planned single family residence community of approximately 90 to 95 residences. Ma or Falck: Carol, I do want Dick Rubin in here. Thank you. I'm sorry, Alan. Alan Ruf: That's quite all right. It lies in the City of Oakland Park, south of our southerly boundary. Vice Mayor Massaro: In the City of what? Alan Ruf: Oakland Park. The property is in the City of Oakland Park, just immediately south of the southerly boundary of Tamarac Lakes South Subdivision or Plat. The thrust of the litigation in the Circuit Court was to force the City to rove a barrier at the south end of Northwest 26th Terrace, I believe. That litigation proceeded to Court and after approximately one-half day of testimony a voluntary dismissal was filed by the Plaintiffs in that suit. The City has had before it, I understand, during the time of this litigation and subsequently, an application for approval of a site plan for an access from that area again into Tamarac Lakes South, through a right-of-way or easement that was conveyed by the owners of Tamarac Lakes South in 1966 to Mr. Broad and others. When it became apparent that this item was going to be discussed by the Council at this meeting at the request of the Petitioner, I was asked to revisit the issue and to have the consulting engineering firm, Mid South Engineering, look at the proposed access from the Golf Tam Village in Oakland Park into Tamarac Lakes South. I would like to introduce to you Miles Moss, a Professional Engineer with the Mid South Engineering Firm and, for the record of this Meeting I am going to supply the Mayor and Council with one copy of his background material and I believe he will be very happy to talk about that. At my request, Mr. Moss has visited the site on more than one occasion. He has not had time,because Dick Mercer who was with the firm and has left, and he has had to take over all of the work of that department,to prepare a written report. However, I felt that since he had proceeded to prepare a report and that the matters were fresh in his mind and that we had engaged him to come here at this time, even though the Petitioner has asked for a Tabling, it would not be - 13 - 4/27/83 /pm For L= inappropriate for you to hear his report at this time, since it was noticed for that and since the City did go to the expense of engaging an +ert,---and. his observations are available to you at this time. He has also indicates that in future consideration he will make available to you a written report following this meeting and will appear again if you feel it is appropriate. At this time, I would like to introduce Miles Moss, who is a Consulting Engineer with Mid South Engineering. Miles Noss: My name is Miles Moss, I am Vice President of Traffic Engineering or Wa South Engineering. I am a registered Professional Engineer with the State of Florida, I have also had extensive experience not only in the field of transportation and engineering, but in the field of traffic accident reconstruction. At the request, I have reviewed the proposed access site and, if I can, I would like to talk off of this drawing, it might be better for you to try and hold it so you can see it -- Mayor Falck: That's fine, can you see it alright, Dave? Councilman Krantz Yes, I see it, thank you. Miles Moss: I have reviewed the location of the proposed access drive which would provide a roadway between Northwest 29th Terrace and Northwest 28th Avenue, I'm sorry, Northwest 29th Avenue, that would be r=ing in a north -south direc- tion. My red circle with the number 1 on the attached drawing indicates the proposed access roadway and the approximate location that it would intersect with Northwest 48th Street. I have also shown various other circles on this drawing, each of these other circles marked in red, numbered I - 7 describes potential high impact areas that would be caused by the creation of this access driveway. I would like to describe some of the conditions, I have some pictures of these various locations and I would also like to walk you through after I describe it, but the major impact that I first see is the location that this would be coming out at, the north -south access drive at its intersection with 48th Street would be in a very close proximity to the one-way traffic flow exiting the drive from the parking area that provides parking for the recreation facilities. Dividing an access at that location would cause a major confron- tation with people exiting, it would cause a rather confusing intersection. At the same time there are residences on the east and west sides of where this access is. The resident on the east side would have a very close proximity to where the drive is, it would be within about two feet. The problems that this could create not only from a pedestrian standpoint of the people living there, but from a driving access standpoint from each of the residents driveways, both on the east side and the west side of the access driveway south of 48th Street, could lead to potential accidents. As somebody would exit this access drive, if their desire is to go westbound for example on Commercial Boulevard, their most logical movement would be to make a left turn to go west on Northwest 48th Street and then to make a right turn and go north on 29th Terrace and gain direct access to Commercial Boulevard and then turn left and go west. My circle number 2 describes the major intersections and there are two of them that wouldbe impacted by that movement... The _first is Northwest 29th Terrace and 4Bth_ Street an -the second is Commercial Boulevard and 29th Terrace. The left turn coming out and the right turn through both of those intersections, which are minor intersections, the roadway surface is only about 20' wide,they really are not made to take additional traffic going through there. The intersection of 29th Terrace and Commercial Boulevard, it is very, very difficult to make your northbound left turn to come out and go west. You are crossing three eastbound lanes of Commercial Boulevard, plus the eastbound left -turn lane on Commercial Boulevard. So somebody virtually would have to wait for a gap and cross four lanes of traffic to be able to merge into westbound Commercial Boulevard. The situation as it exists today is quite hazardous. To add additional traffic to that movement would certainly increase the accident potential. If somebody were to proceed east to either gain access to 28th Avenue to go west or to gain access to one of the other openings to go east. There's two paths that it would seem logical that they would use. The first would be to proceed east on 48th Street and turn left at 29th Avenue, circle No. 3 describes that intersection, and this would be turning left at an intersection which is also a little bit of geometrics to it. If you turn left you would be proceeding north on 29th Avenue and you would be in a position of turning right at the access road there. The circle 4 on this drawing describes that location. At that point you are going through an area where you have people parking on the west side in the parking area, walking across with vehicles going through there. That would be a very major potential problem for pedestrians, and as you proceed easterly through there it would be going in front of the area where the recreation facilities are and either turning right at the median opening, which is described in circle 5, or proceeding further east to 28th Avenue and turning left. Again the same kind of problem gaining access to Commercial Boulevard. Similarly if they had just comae out of the access driveway and turned east on - 14 - 4/27/83 /pm 48th Street to get direct access to 28th Avenue, circle 7 describes the intersection that would be impacted there. All of these are going to experience increased traffic, of course there is going to be increases in traffic for vehicles exiting here and the same problem coming back in. Very sharp turns, 90 degree turns on residences located quite close to it. I have a series of sketches which describe basically these circled areas which I would also like to describe to you If I could pass them out for your viewing. If I could first walk through them and then pass them out because they are nunnbered. The first view describes the actual location, they show the actual location at the proposed access site that is going to be provided. Pictures 1, 2 and 3 are all located on, looking on Northwest 48th Street, looking in a southbound direction at the proposed access site. All three pictures describe and show the two houses that the access roadway would be coming through and they look at it from various angles. The 4th and 5th picture look at this across the parking lot and give you a better feeling for how close the access driveway is going to be intersecting, which is the exiting drive from the parking lot south. The other pictures show various intersections within the area and has close the limited geometrics of those are. Pictures 8, 9 and 10 are looking eastbound down the access roadway at 29th Avenue. These three pictures are looking from this point right here which is described as circle No. 4 on the chart, looking in an eastbound direction down here. That would be the area that anybody coming out of the access drive going east either up 29th Avenue,or directly through, would be going through. The area right now is posted with a fifteen mile an hour speed limit and indicating no through traffic. The last set of pictures describe conditions that are in existence on the intersection of Commercial Boulevard during the AM peak hour. During the morning peak these intersections are queued with traffic, the traffic queues back from Prospect and at various points it just has a continuous queue. These pictures that I described as 11 and 12, show just how severe the queue is and just how difficult it is in trying to exit on to Commercial Boulevard, especially in the AM peak hour. The remaining 13, 14, and 15 show typical views of the residences in the Community and how close the houses are offset from the roadway itself. The alternate, of course, to this providing direct access to Prospect, provides for a vehicle to proceed northbound on Prospect to gain access to Commercial Boulevard. I also reviewed that aspect in the morning peak hours the most 7 critical period, and I found that making this maneuver and looking at, and proceeding northbound on Prospect Road to Commercial Boulevard you are provided with a northbound, left -turn green arrow. The northbound left -turn movement is extremely safe, the delay is minimal. I experienced a delay of approximately 20 seconds when I was making that maneuver this morning. Vice Mayor Massaro: Is that Prospect Road? Miles Moss: This is Prospect Road, and the intersection of Commercial Bou e�varrd. It would be my feeling that even though this additional distance is certainly in access of any distance coming down here, the actual time experienced by a vehicle exiting this property to Prospect, coming out and even backtracking in a westbound direction, the actual delay would be consider- ably less than one would experience coming out at one of the other circles, either 2 or 4, and trying to turn left on to Commercial Boulevard and sitting there and waiting. The delay experience would actually be less, even though the distance traveled might be increased, the actual delay in making a left turn mneuver and going back westbound on Commercial Boulevard would experience less time, the safety to the person making the turn and to the residents would be substantially increased. Vice Mayor Massaro: Are you saying that there is a more appropriate egress - ingress area off Prospect Road. Miles Moss: Yes, the proposed, as I understand it the proposed access to Prospect Has been considered as a primary access at this point, and this other access is being considered as a secondary point. I am suggesting that the primary point provides less delay to the residents in gaining access to Commercial Boulevard. It is also safer for the vehicles exiting the area; for the residents living in the commmmity it would also be safer for them and it would also be substantially safer for the residents of Tamarac Lakes South. Vice_Mayor Massaro: You are saying they don't need a secondary? Miles Moss: I am saying that the secondary at this location would, could not improve the delay and it would also cause a hazardous condition to both people using it and for the residents of the area. - 15 - 4/27/83 /pm t\ /P V I Councilman Krantz Commercial? Mr. Moss: Isn't there a traffic light on Prospect and Miles Moss: Yes, there is. That traffic signal provides a northbound left -turn green arrow which also enhances the ability to make that left turn. Mayor Falck: Any other questions of the Council of Mr. Moss? Any other questions? Thank you very much. Vice Ma or Massaro: One other question - It was my understanding, Mr. Nbss, that t�hoouse, that the overhang is six inches from this easement, I guess it's a twenty foot easement. Have you determined that? Miles Moss: I have not looked at it, I have only looked at this from a transportation and safety aspect. Vice Mayor Massaro: Well, I think that safety is, you know, a fire truck or something coming in there. If it's only six inches from the very narrow 20' easement, it would be a tremendous safety factor to be considered. Miles Moss. I agree with you, I think that's something that could be. Mayor Falck: Other questions by Council? I understand you are going to supplyt to Council 3n written form? Miles Moss: If you desire. Ma or Falck: I think it should be done, and would you also, Alan, make sure Mr. Broad and/or his Attorney have a copy of that information as soon as it is available. Alan Ruf: Absolutely. Mayor Falck: Mr. Henning you've spoken to the delegation back there? The reason I m asking, I understand that you're not going to be able to be here on the llth and if you want to make a statement we will also see that it is typed verbatim and given to Mr. Broad, through Mr. Ruf. Carol, if you would, please. Carol Evans: Yes. Ted Hannant, Tamarac Ickes South: I didn't come thinking I would be a spokesman here, but I d 1i to say something if I can. Mayor Falck: I want to give you that opportunity. Ted Hannant: Since Commercial Boulevard - Ma or Falck: Mr. Hannant, identify yourself please. Ted Hannant: My name is Ted Hannant, I live at 7910 Northwest 48th Street in Tamarac Lakes South. Since Commercial Boulevard was built people using the exit on 31st Avenue have to make a right turn. They can not make a left turn. The result of that is that the traffic on 29th Terrace, which is the exit closest to the area we are talking about, there is roughly 125 residents use that if they want to make a westbound turn on Commercial Boulevard. I just want to point out that that street has become quite a heavy traffic road since Comxercial Boulevard was improved. Of course other people from the other end of town corm up 48th Street and make that same turn, too. I have a copy of the Plat of Mrs. Linderoff, that's the house on the east side of this easement. Her plat shows that this easement is within 1.77 feet of her house, which of course means that her awnings are hanging out over the easement, of course even her door would overlap that when she opens it. I don't think there is anything more I need to say about it. This looks like an impossible arrangement to us. Ma or Falck: Thank you. Do you have any questions? Councilman. Stelzer: What was the easement given for? Was it given for a right- o -way, or was it given for golf carts to get on to the golf course? Ted Hannant: The easement doesn't say anything except that it's an ingress - egress easement. It doesn't say for what purpose. Ma or Falck: Any other questions of Mr. Hannant? Thank you, Mr. Hannant. Mr. Broad, do you have any questions you want to raise with the engineer, here. - 16 _ 4/27/83 /pm A Mr. Broad: No, I don't think so. No, I'll wait Lentil the adjournment when my Counsel is here. Moor Falck: Sure. But in the meantime we will supply you with all this discussion that took place here so you will have it and your'Attorney will have it. Mr. Henning, do you have any questions or anything? Jon Henning: No. Mayor Falck: Anything else, Council? Vice Mayor Massaro: I just wondered if anybody else there wanted to speak. Mayor Falck: Does anybody else want to speak? Sam Pizzarella: My name is Sam Pizzarella, I live at 2914 N.W. 48th Street. I an directly affected by this easement. I am a newcomer to the area, I am relatively young in the neighborhood, I am sixty-five. The average age of the people in my community is 76 years of age. That means they are hardly mobile, they just shuffle along. They are not dying, but they are here to prolong their life. This added traffic that the City of Oakland Park is wishing to dump on us, because that community is in Oakland Park, they wish to dump their traffic into Tamarac, Firstly, I don't think we need it, secondly, its a safety hazard, thirdly there isn't adequate lighting and traffic coming through there at night time which is the worst time of day presents a tremendous hazard because we walk along, we just shuffle along, nobody is concerned about traffic. We have never had traffic, now they are going to dump a community of people with at least - well that type of home would accomodate two, possibly three cars to a family, plus an influx of guests; so that means an influx of cars dLmiping in and out of our area with a lot of elderly people walking around. In the winter time they bring the grandchildren down and that's even another hazard. I don't think its fair that Oakland Park should dump their traffic into our community. Firstly, it's only a little narrow thing, and hardly enough for a car to get through, never mind the people opening their door and walking out of their door with a car coming through their area. Mr. Broad is concerned about finance, he is concerned about the investment he has made on his land, and he wants a profit from his land, but those people there have their life savings in their home. We're not talking about money, we're talking about human beings. We're talking about safety. We're talking about what really is right for the community and I don't think it is fair that they even should consider dumping all of their traffic into our area which is a residential, adult community. Ma or Falck: Thank you very much. Councilman Kravitz? Councilman Kravitz: Mr. Mayor, based on the letter that we have received, I would that Resolution #2685 at this time be TABLED to the May llth Meeting. Mayor Falck: Is that satisfactory?

Reso. #2683 - Discussion and possible action to grant a limited waiver of the parking requirements in Section 18 of the Code for a proposed service station to be located at the southwest corner of Southgate Boulevard and NW 88 Avenue. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The ublic Baring was e and act�on was TABLED to the 5/11/83 meeting for further research. (See Page 2). - 19 - 4/27/83 /pm 'A Jon Henning said this item has been advertised for a public hearing and Council may have the public hearing and table action since more research is needed. Richard Rubin said Mr. Allison is revising the site plan based on observations by the Planning Commission and to allow him the maximum flexibility, this site plan should be tabled. Sam Allison, representing Exxon, said there are two site plans that are almost identical that have been presented to the Planning and Zoning Board. He said the question they are asking today is whether or not they will be allowed to design this site with 900 parking. Tape Carl Alper said all parking in commercial areas must be angle parking 5 except if there is a hardship which is not self-imposed, and these are the only ways a waiver can be approved. Jon Henning read the Resol'utton by. title and said the limited waiver is for permitting goo parking. Mr. Allison said thiswas tabled at the Planning Commission meeting in order to discuss it before Council to determine what Council wants Exxon to do with the parking. Richard Rubin said if a project shows 900 parking at the time reviewed by the Planning Commission, they either approve the project conditioned upon Council waiving the angle parking or they deny it with reasons listed. Emil Beutner, Chairman of the Planning Commission, said the basic reason this was denied was because they were 4 parking spaces short. It was tabled for time to correct the drawing and find spaces on the piece of property for 4 more spaces. V/M Massaro asked Jon Henning if they must prove a hardship and Jon Henning said he would research this matter. Mayor Falck opened the public hearing. Richard Rubin said in the next couple of weeks Exxon will be submitting a site plan to Council in order to build a service station at the corner of NW 88 Ave. and Southgate Blvd. He said there are two areas left for parking either in front of the building along Southgate Blvd., which would interfere with the car loading bay or parking towards the rear of the building on the south side where there would be less interference with traffic. Mr. Rubin said the problem is that there is no access out of the one parking bay into the rear parking lot. V/M Massaro said by the City requiring them to use so much of their land for landscaping and beautification, they have imposed the hardship. Mr. Allison said he thinks they can eliminate the need for this, which would give additional landscape space and provide a safer working environment. if anq_le parking is not required. Mr. Henning referred to Section 18-8 of the Code "Exceptions that are authorized in the parking code". He said the provisions of this Chapter may be waived or modified in the event of a hardship in the following manner: the application for a limited waiver shall be filed for initial review by the Planning Commission and the application shall set forth the hardship claim by the applicant and the hardship alleged may not be self-imposed. Mr. Henning said there seem to be two hard- ships, namely, the landscaping on this site and the location on a corner without access to the shopping center behind it. Mr. Allison said they are trying to make the whole station_ aesthetically pleasing to the people in that development and they do not want to separate it from Tamarac Town Square, aathough they are two separate entities. He said if the waiver for 90 parking is not granted, they will have to reevaluate the orientation of the building to determine whether or not 3 additional parking spaces are needed on the side or whether they should turn the building around. He said they specify 10 spaces but they are willing to provide 12 spaces plus 1 handicapped space which exceeds the requirements of the Code. Carl Alper, resident, said Chapter 18 of the Code requires that off- street parking in commercial areas shall be at 30, 45 or 60 degree angles but a waiver may be granted if the applicant complies with - 20 - 4/27/83 /pm certain regulations set forth in Chapter 18-8 or 9 of the Code, one of which is for the applicant to show a hardship which is not self-imposed. He said the applicant has not alleged there is a hardship and are drawing plans which are a violation of a stipulation between the City and Mr. Bishop, their predecessor in title, which directly affects the parking situation. This agreement was stipu- lated on 6/15/78 and approved by a court of law in Broward County and all agreements bind the City and all those who follow Bishop in title, which includes Exxon. He said the stipulation intended that the gas station shall be a self-service station only with no repairs, no lifts, pits or grease jobs. The language of the stipu- lation said "Said site will be approved as a gasoline service station, any further use of a gas station classification shall be expressly prohibited". He said on 11/2/78,Exxon filed a site plan with the Planning Commission which was refused, and at the time, Mr. Zufelt, representing Exxon, agreed there would be nothing there but a self- service station. He said, on the basis of this agreement, the Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan on 11/15/78 subject to various conditions. He said about 15 months later, they submitted a final site plan which said the same as the preliminary except there were different entrances and exits. He said this third building changes their whole plan and attempts to change the law. Mr. Alper asked Council to deny this petition or send it back to the Planning Commission. Harold H. Newman, resident, agreed with Mr. Alper's comments. He said if they were to meet the conditions of the Code and provide only 10 spaces, there would not be a hardship involved. Gary Growler, Tape resident, said he concurred with Messrs. Alper and Newman. He said 6 the three of them worked on a committee along with V/M Massaro to determine the landscaping required for all gas stations throughout Tamarac and the landscaping they have at the Exxon station is not an imposition but part of the agreement. Mr. Allison said Exxon paid for the privilege of bringing this to Council in 1978 and have paid again to discuss a totally different development on that same tract of land. He said the parking lot connection between them and the Tamarac Town Square was requested by the City Planner and was put in with the knowledge that it would come before Council and be discussed at that time. He said he does not think it iaffects the concept of straight parking versus angle parking and the question of the driveway can be worked out when they return in a month to consider the site plan. He said he feels the hardships imposed on them because of the restrictions of the layout, as requested by the City Planner, and their willingness to work with him in orienting the building to the betterment of the esthetics, limit them in what they can do with the parking. Mayor Falck closed the public hearing and declared a recess for five minutes. C/M Kravitz said they do not have a final site plan and there is a question about an alleged hardship and the court stipula- tion and he MOVED that this would go back to the Planning Commission for their action and this would come back to Council after that. V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE this item to the next regular meeting to determine exactly what the status of this is before it is sent to the Planning Commission. C/M Krantz SECONDED the TABLING MOTION. C/M Kravitz withdrew his MOTION. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 30. Lakeside Plaza - Revised Site Plan - Temp. Reso. #2688 - Dis- cussion and possible additional sidewalks SYNOPSIS OF ACTION conditions. APPROVED with action to approve a revised site plan for and revision of parking requirements. RESOLUTION NO. R--03 -_9 PASSED. - 21 - 4/27/83 /pm Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and Julian Bryan, representing Granek Properties, the developer, said this was approved several months ago and after taking the approved plan to various brokers and leasing agents, they determined that the north and south buildings should have greater access. He said in the approved plans there was not a concrete sidewalk that went around these buildings, therefore, they have added a walkway from the parking lot. He said at the request of FP&L they will eliminate two extra parking spaces and this has been approved by the Planning Commission. V/M Massaro said she does not have a copy of the estimated cost sheet, therefore, she cannot determine if the additional walks are reflected in the estimated cost sheets and the appropriate fees. She MOVED that this revised plan be APPROVED subject to an examination by the Engineering Department as to the estimated costs to be certain it includes the various changes that are anticipated, particularly, the additional 5' walks. The gate location in the wall should be subject to the approval of the Engineering Department so that the proper width is maintained to assure the City access if needed to work on the sewer lines. She said this would be subject to receipt of the revised estimated cost sheet and appropriate fees paid. SECONDED by C/M Krantz. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 32. Woodmont Tract 62 - Revised Site Plan - Temp_.

Reso. #2679: 1) Block 1, Lot 4 2) Block 1, Lot 5 3) Block 1, Lot 6 (tabled from 4/13/83) b) Streetlight fees SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED to no later than the 5/25/83 meeting. Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and he said the bonds that are stated in the Resolution of $1,500 each were posted in cash for the three homes listed. He referred to his memo of 4/21/83 in which he stated his legal opinions in this matter. He said in the course of reviewing this matter there was contact with the homeowner on Lot 4 who submitted some problems. Mr. Henning recommended Lots 5 and 6 be released and the claims on Lot 4 be resolved with the Buildina Official. V/M Massaro said the period of guarantee should begin at the time the home is sold and if there are any bonds outstanding that are on homes not sold, they should be released with a clear letter of intent that these bonds must be posted when the homes are sold rather than based on a CO as a shell or a model. She said warranty bonds should not be accepted on a model but only when a full CO is given. She said Lot 4 should be reviewed and corrections made on everything necessary. - 22 - 4/27/83 /pm Mr. Henning said the City required these bonds, they were issued and held for 3 years and he was uncertain if there were ever a claim on the Homeowner Warranty before. He suggested tying into the utility billing procedure so that when the utilities are put into the homeowner's name, a bond will be required at that time. C/M Stelzer said he cannot understand the need for a bond to be posted before a home is sold and V/M Massaro said this should only be required when the home is fully completed. V/M Massaro said according to the City Code, she believes the City would be responsible for a 3 year period if these bonds were released and if Mr. Heftler could get a release from the people involved she would have no objection. Mr. Heftler said these homes were sold by them over 2-1/2 years ago to Charmac Co. which subsequently bought lots from them and continued to build homes. He said at least one and possibly all of the owners of those homes at present took title by virture of some defect in financing that was held by Charmac. He said these homes have, in fact, been used for purposes other than models during the period of the 3 years. V/M Massaro suggested the Chief Building Official be instructed to look at those 3 buildings and determine if there are any structural defects in the 3 years that have passed since the time that they took title and how long the present owners are in there. This information should be brought to Council before the 5/25/83 meeting. Mr. Heftler said there were certain items within the homes that were changed by Charmac and he asked where his liability would stop. V/M Massaro said there is a fee of $1,716 due for the first year payment on the streetlights and she questioned whose responsibility this is as well. V/M Massaro MOVED that this item be TABLED to a meeting not later than 5/25/83, SECONDED by C/M Kravitz. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 33. Kings Point - Temp_.

R--_f.�5--_�1 ;7 PASSED. written. Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and said the legal description in this declaration is the center line of Nab Hill Road and refers to the median that will cover that and the landscaping that will be there. He said the location is on Nob Hill Road between NW 77 St. and NW 71 P1. and over these several blocks there will be landscaping maintained by the developer and this covenant refers to that. It was written for 50 years with 10 year renewal periods. V/M Massaro questioned the language in Paragraph 3 and Mr. Henning explained there are 3 parties that will enter into this agreement, the City, Lennar Homes and Kings Point Condominium Association. He said the agent for the Condominium Association at this point is the developer and Lennar would like to determine where their responsibility ends. He said it is written stating that the City is holding Lennar into this agreement to be responsible for that maintenance until the CO is issued on the last residential unit, at that point the agreement will be between Tape � Kings Point Homeowners Association and the City.

She said they should further determine about the private dirt road used as an entrance for their maintenance service which has posts 3' x 3'.

Mr. Henning said law requires that there be a public hearing which must be advertised and this public hearing could be continued or tabled. C/M Kravitz said based on pertinent additional information that has been received, he requested no action be taken while this is tabled and the public hearing would be reconvened at a future date. He MOVED to TABLE to some future date and C/M Krantz said he would SECOND the MOTION provided a specific date were stipulated. V/M Massaro suggested 5/25/83 and C/M Kravitz accepted this date. C/M Stelzer questioned why this is being tabled and C/M Kravitz referred to a memo Council received on the moratorium which states that the City Attorney and the City Manager have just concluded a meeting with the representatives of the Isles of Tamarac and C/M Krantz. They explained they are developing additional information pertinent to this decision. V/M Massaro said she feels the consequences of the morator- ium still must be considered carefully. She said the actual area to be set aside for industrial use, the effect of the cancelled sludge farm lease, the plans of the owners of the land being considered and the use of the residents of Tamarac all need to be weighed. She said, originally, the moratorium seemed to be the logical way to approach these decisions but, perhaps, it has caused more problems than it has solved. She said staff has studied this question and suggests tabling. She said staff should continue to work on this top -priority item and be sure to seek input from the residents and, hopefully, in between there will be several workshops to get more input from the public. C/M Stelzer requested amendment of the MOTION to include that the moratorium will be in effect and no work will be done in that area and there will be an advertisement for the next meeting which will be a complete public hearing.
