Victoria Ryan, Resident at 5908 Beech Court, said last
month she appeared before the City Council regarding the
City Council's feelings regarding a special Tax District.
She said she has not received any response on this
matter and she asked the City Council to comment on this
matter.
Mayor Abramowitz said the original request was submitted
to the City and the City was directed to place the matter
on hold. He said the City Council has not received any
information on this matter; therefore, he could not
comment.
Anthony Grimaldi, Resident of Sunflower/Heathgate, said
his Section discussed the matter regarding the Broward
Sheriff's Office. He said the residents were requesting
that the matter be taken to Referendum. He said the
residents were entrusting only three people to judge
their lives. He said the future City Councils' may
decide not to continue service with the Broward Sheriff's
Office and want their own Police Department. He said
approving the Broward Sheriff's Office matter without a
Referendum may open Pandora's Box to future Politicians.
He said it was not fair to the residents to not allow the
residents to vote on the matter.
Bernard Hart, Resident, said the method of adoption of
the Broward Sheriff's Office matter was important because
the taxpayers would pay the bill regardless of how it was
done; therefore, it was very important that the residents
have a say in the implementation or denial. He said he
recently heard a Council member state, "What the hell do
the people know, we will decide". He said this was not
an appropriate attitude for the City Council to have.
Mr. Hart said on November 4, 1986, the City Council
presented the same issue to the residents who voted it
down and the City Council agreed to abide by the wishes
of the voters of the City. He said it was recently
stated that the people did not come out to vote on the
matter; however, the vote was the largest turnout ever
held in the City which consisted of 60% of the registered
voters and, out of the 23 voting Precincts in the City,
15 Precincts voted "no". He said there should be a
Referendum for the people to decide as to the future of
the City's Police Department and the City Council should
abide by the residents vote.
Samuel Bittar, Jr., Resident at 8106 NW 72 Avenue, said
he was a former New York Police Officer and he felt that
if the City should transfer to the Broward Sheriff's
Office it would be a mistake. He said the employees
working for the City choose to do so; however, the
Broward Sheriff's Office choose to work for Broward
County. He said the City should be moving forward as
opposed to backwards and, if the Broward Sheriff's Office
was patrolling the City, it would be like the patrol in
the Unincorporated Broward areas.

Morris Haber, Resident, said he understood that moving to
the services of the Broward Sheriff's Office was being
considered to save money in the City; however, he was
concerned with the City hiring professionals in the
Departments but willing to disband the City's Police
Department. He said the millage rate should be given to
the residents and the residents should make the decision
of either paying the increase or not because the
residents should decide if they wanted a Police
Department that would serve them.
Mayor Abramowitz said the

City Council reviewed the
Broward Sheriff's Office this
Council reviewed the matters
at this time. He suggested
the Public Hearings on this
express their concerns.
C/M Stelzer said the residents in the Open Public Forum
have been 3iscussing the matter with the Broward
Sheriff's Office be taken to Referendum; however, the
residents were not aware that the City could not go to a
Referendum because time was limited. He said the City
must have their Budget rating by September 1, 1989;
therefore, there was not enough time to go to Referendum.
He said the City Council would be taking a straw -vote by
the residents.
C/M Rohr said the Broward League of Cities was petitioning to
prevent the Legislature from mandating programs to the
Municipalities without funding. He read letter submitted
by Walter Falck, Executive Director of the Broward League
of Cities, dated May 5, 1989, into the record. (SEE
ATTACHMENT #1).
C/M Rohr said there were blank petitions in the rear of
the Council Chambers and he asked the residents to sign
the petitions and submit them to him. He said he
recently received 2,500 petitions and more petitions
would be appreciated.
C/M Rohr said there have been Articles in the newspapers
regarding Off -Shore Oil Drilling in Florida and he read
information into the record. (SEE ATTACHMENT #2)
C/M Rohr said the information was in the rear of the
Chambers for those residents who were interested in
Petitioning Off -Shore Oil Drilling.
C/M Hoffman reported that the new Sign Ordinance was being
reviewed by the City Planner and, because of the Land Use
Plan review, the City Planner was not able to devote as
much time to the Ordinance as needed. He said the City
Planner was working on the Ordinance and she was holding
consultations with the City Attorney. He said a Special
Workshop of the Planning Commission would be called on
May 24, 1989, which would consist of the presentation of
the Sign Ordinance draft. He said when the Planning
Commission reviewed the Ordinance, the City Council would
be able to hold Public Hearings on the Ordinance.
Mayor Abramowitz reported that there would be a Joint Workshop
meeting witFithe City Council and Charter Board held on

Kelly Carpenter -Craft, City Planner, said this
application was for a Special Exception for a proposed
seafood and steakhouse restaurant. She said the Findings
of Facts are as follows:
1. This is a proposed restaurant operation and the owners
propose to occupy 45,035 square feet of the northwest
building identified as Building 1 on the Garden Mall
site plan.
2. The City Land Use Plan designated the parcel Commercial
and the Plaza was zoned B-2 (Planned Community Business)

properties are:

Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said when the Mall was constructed
the Building was planned, permitted and constructed as a
restaurant. She said two previous restaurants have
located in this Bay. She said the conditions for a
special exception for a restaurant may be considered
under the City Code are as follows:
1. The structure containing the restaurant shall be 100
feet from the nearest residential property line.
2. The restaurant must have an approved method of solid
waste collection.
3. A plan for control reduction or elimination of
offensive odors is required.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the Petitioner would be using
the previously approved plans and equipment and control
offensive odors and has complied with all of the

conditions. She recommended approval of the Special
Exception subject to all conditions of the Zoning Code.

Mayor Abramowitz suggested that staff amend the B-1
Ordinance to allow a Special Exception for Bays over
5,000 square feet with specific approval criteria. He
said there were several requests for zoning changes which
the City Council questioned.
Mayor Abramowitz said the property in question was
located next to a church, behind and across from a
residential area. He said the Petitioner was requesting
the rezoning because B-1 did not allow a 5,000 square
foot Bay which was needed to use the land.
Mayor Abramowitz said he would like the City Council to
have the ability to stop Blanket Rezoning without the
knowledge of what would happen to the property after the
rezoning was done. He suggested that staff and the City
Attorney be Directed to prepare the necessary amendments
for City Council approval to stop indiscriminative
building in the City.
C/M Stelzer said the City Council has always been
instructed that it was not appropriate to question what
would be built on property that was before the City
Council for rezoning.
Mayor Abramowitz said he wanted the City Council to be
able to ask the Petitioner why the rezoning was being
requested. He said staff indicated that the majority of
the B-2 requests were necessary; however, Special
Exceptions could be given based upon the contents of the
property. He said he opposed blanket rezoning of property
without the City Council having control of what went on
the land.
City Attorney Doody asked if the City Council wanted the
B-1 zoning Ordinance amended to include a Special
Exception for 5,000 square foot Bays.
C/M Rohr asked if this amendment would not require the
Petitioner to come before the City Council for a Special
Exception.
City Attorney Doody said the amendment would require the
Petitioner to come before the City Council for approval.
He said the problem at this time was that the use was not
permitted in the B-1 zoning district; therefore, B--2
zoning was requested because of its allowable uses.
C/M Hoffman asked if the permission would be to grant
Special Exceptions within the category of B-1 zoning.
Mayor Abramowitz said he wanted to eliminate the need for
Developers to request B-2 zoning because they had no
Page 7

TAPE 2
other choice. He said there were several different
allowances in B-2 zoning as compared to B-1 zoning.
C/M Stelzer said if the amendment was made in B-1 zoning,
a Special Exception would not be needed.
Mayor Abramowitz said at this time, a Special Exception
was not provided in the B-1 Zoning Ordinance.
Mayor Abramowitz said he wanted the City Council to have
control of what was being placed on property and
eliminate blanket rezoning. He said he wanted the
Developers to be able to come to the City Council for a
Special Exception because it rwas a provision of the City
Code. He said he was requesting that staff amend the B-1
Zoning Ordinance so that a Special Exception could be
allowed and so that the City Council could have control
of what was being placed on the land.
City Attorney Doody said he would draft an Ordinance that
amended the B-1 Zoning District to permit, by Special
Exception, 5,000 square foot Bays/Warehouse space.
C/M Hoffman asked if the City Council could ask the
Developer what was going to be placed on the property
before a Special Exception was granted.
City Attorney Doody said B-1 Zoning would have a list of
Special Exception uses. He said when the Special
Exceptions were requested, criteria would be required
which would inform the City Council what the project
would be.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Council if they approved
of this amendment and all AGREED.

Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the property was currently
zoned B-6 (Business District) and the building was
existing and had an approved site plan. She said the
total area of the site was 1.5 acres and the surrounding
zones are:
Page 8
5/10/89 - Regular
North - B-1 (Neighborhood Business)
South - B-2 (Planned Community Business)
East - B-6 (Business District)
West - R-4A (Planned Apartment)
Mrs. Carpenter --Craft said the B-6 use was intended, "For
the development of integrated lands of professional or
business developments with accessory of residential units
of the primary structure.". She said the site was not
developed as a mix of businesses and residential uses;
however, the City favored the concept of these types of
uses in B-6 but it was unlikely that the site would be
developed to this type of use. She said the Planning
Commission approved the request on April 5, 1989, and she
recommended approval.
C/M Stelzer asked if the dividers from the construction
would be taken down.
Sam Goren, Attorney for the Petitioner, said that the
dividers were placed there by the County because of
construction on University Drive. He said when the
construction was completed, the County would eliminate
the walls as well as supply landscaping.
C/M Stelzer said the east had a divider which was located
in the area before the road construction was started and
Attorney Goren said the road Contractor would remove the
dividers.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Petitioner did a wonderful job
in improving the property and he hoped that they
continued the good work.
Mayor Abramowitz Opened the Public Hearing.
Joe Padwa, Resident at Concord Village, said he had no
objections to the rezoning; however, he would like the
beautification to continue on the property. He asked if
the restrictions would be passed on from owner to owner.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the specifications indicated
that the provisions would be passed from owner to owner.
Anthony Grimaldi, Resident of Sunflower/Heathgate, said
that Concord Village expressed their concerns
consistently regarding surrounding properties. He said
Concord Village wanted the Planning Commission and the
City Council to inform them of what was going to put on
the property; however, Concord Village should be aware
that this type of questioning of the developers was not
permitted during a rezoning request.
Mayor Abramowitz Closed the Public Hearing with no
further response.

6. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Kelly said pursuant to the City Charter,
he could approve emergency purchases which he did for the
Fire Department. He said the main aerial ladder was
tested and it had to be removed from service because of
stress cracks in the turntable which housed the ladder.
He said he authorized the necessary repairs to be done.
City Manager Kelly said he recently sent out Requests for
Proposals to vendors regarding a recycling program. He
said the proposals were to provide services to the Cities
as a group and the Bids would be opened on May 15, 1989.
He said the Cities applied for a Grant to attempt their
own recycling program. He said the Grant was allocated
in the amount of $396,900.00 and this was the largest
single entity being funded.
7. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
City Attorney Doody said the City Council requested
that the Agenda be changed so that staff did not have to
wait throughout the entire meeting. He said during the
morning meetings, the Open Public Forum and Reports could
be placed at the end of the Agenda without any action of
the City Council. He said if the City Council did not
object to this, the next City Council meeting would be
prepared this way.
C/M Hoffman suggested that the procedure be changed.
C/M Stelzer said he would like to see a definite time
when the items would be heard and City Manager Kelly said
the delays may be corrected by moving the Open Public
Forum and City Council Reports to the end of the Agenda.
City Manager Kelly said the developers were given an
approximate time of when their items would be heard.
City Manager Kelly asked if the City Council wanted the
change to be for the morning meetings only and C/M
Hoffman, C/M Rohr and C/M Stelzer said they would like
the change to be for both meetings. The City Council
AGREED that the change would be applied for both meetings
of the month.

Dale Lee, Chief Building Official, said in October, 1980,
the City Council approved Resolution R-80-234 for a
waiver of the Sign Ordinance allowing a directory sign
for Carlone's Restaurant. He said the Petitioner was
requesting the waiver to allow the face and copy of the
sign to be changed on the existing sign structure. He
said the sign complied with the setback and height
requirements and he recommended approval.
C/M Hoffman asked if the Petitioner was aware that there
may be a change in the Sign Ordinance which may require
that the Petitioner change the sign.
Mr. Lee said that the Petitioner was informed of this and
agreed; however, the existing proposed Sign Ordinance
would not require any additional changes by this
Petitioner.
C/M Stelzer asked why the Planning Commission denied this
request and Mr. Lee said the Planning Commission denied
Page 11
5/10/89 - Regular
the request because the directory sign allowed the
listing of all tenants of the center and the Planning
Commission did not approve of this.

Mr. Lee said the Petitioner requested green lettering but
the established criteria for the Gardens Mall was yellow
lettering. He recommended approval of this request
because the visual impact of the color would not affect
the site appearance or the adjacent property. He said
the restaurant was at the rear of the Center and the
exposure would not be objectionable.
C/M Hoffman said the new proposed Sign Ordinance would
not allow this criteria.
Mr. Lee said the waiver was in effect for one year and
would have to be renewed annually.
C/M Hoffman said the Petitioner should be made aware that
there may be additional costs if the criteria had to be
changed.
C/M Rohr asked if the Petitioner would state on record
that he understood that there was a possibility that
there may be changes required in the future.
Robert J. McCombs, President of Streb's Seafood and

$80,296.28 of the $95,296.28 cash bond posted for off site
improvements for the SPRING HOUSE project, with the City
retaining $15,000.00 for work yet to be completed (tabled on
4/12/89).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. R-89-116 - PASSED
APPROVED subject to the City retaining
$20,000.00 for listed improvements required
by staff and the release of $75,296.28 of the
$95,296.28 Cash Bond.
City Attorney Doody read Temp. Reso. #5363 by title.
* V/M Bender MOVED to APPROVE Temp Reso. #5363, SECONDED by
* C/M Hoffman.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the City was holding a Cash
Bond on this project for approximately $95,000.00 and
staff recommended that $15,000.00 be held for
improvements (SEE ATTACHMENT #3). She said the
Engineering and Planning Departments felt that $15,000.00
retention was more than adequate for the improvements.
Mayor Abramowitz said this Item was Tabled at the last
meeting because of Oxford Development's financial
problems and he asked the City Attorney to address this
matter.
City Attorney Doody said the City received a letter from
the Attorney representing Tamarac Oxford, LTD., as
bankruptcy Counsel. He read the letter into the record
which indicated that there was no reason why the release
of the Cash Bond should not be granted. He said there
was no reason that the City Council should not release
the Bond.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City Attorney saw any
problems in releasing the Bond and City Attorney Doody
replied, no; however, he could see problems in the future
if the City did not release the funds.
C/M Hoffman asked what problems were foreseen and City
Attorney Doody said the City Council should understand
that the money was a Cash Bond that the City was holding
to cover the costs of certain improvements. He said the
only way that the City could take possession of the money
was if the improvements were not done. He said if the
improvements were not done than the City could only spend
the money on the improvements. He said the City did not
own or have any rights to the money. He said there would
be funds held until the improvements listed by the City's
staff were completed. He said any other type of action
may open the City up to a legal challenge.
Scott Fuerst, Attorney for the Developer, said he felt
that a good and honest attempt was made in requesting
what funds should be returned. He said the initial
requested amount to be returned was $5,000.00 more and
the City's staff did not approve of it. He said that the
improvements suggested by the City's staff would be
corrected immediately.
George Dressler, Resident of Section 6 and General
Manager of the Sabal Palm Country Club, said he was
speaking for several residents and neighbors of the
surrounding area in question. He said there was an
agreement between Oxford Development and Sabal Palm which
Page 13
5/10/89 - Regular
TAPE 3
would not be enforceable because of the Chapter 11
proceedings. He said the agreements were related to each
other because of the involvement of the Signatures and
Beneficiaries.
Mr. Dressler said the Development Agreement would benefit
the Woodlands, City and golfers; however, the development
would suffer because there were three puddles in the
parking lot. He said there were several items that
needed to be corrected, especially the 8th hole of the
golf course. He said the City should retain the full
amount of the Bond because of the close relationship that
existed between the various agreements and the work was
incomplete.
Mr. Dressler said the residents of the surrounding area
would suffer from this development; therefore, the City
Council should not allow this Bond to be returned. He
said he felt that the Petitioners wanted the Bond because
they had money due to them.
Mayor Abramowitz asked City Attorney Doody if the Bond
had any relation to the situation regarding the 8th hole
of the Golf Course.
City Attorney Doody said he understood that it was not
related and Mrs. Carpenter -Craft agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz said Mr. Stackhouse was suddenly
concerned about the matter regarding the 8th hole;
however, during conversations with Mr. Stackhouse, it was
evident that Mr. Stackhouse did not want to become
involved. He said he wanted this matter handled in a
legal fashion and he asked City Attorney Doody if this
Item had anything to do with the situation regarding the
8th hole.
City Attorney Doody replied, no. He said there are a
list of improvements that would be supported by the Bond
and the 8th green was not one of the improvements. He
said giving the money back was not the problem because it
belonged to the applicant. He said what the applicant
did with the money was not the City's business because it
was between the two private parties.
C/M Rohr said staff recommended that $15,000.00 be held
for the necessary improvements; however, the list of
improvements seemed that more than $15,000.00 was needed.
He suggested that the City retain $25,000.00 for the
improvements.
V/M Bender asked how staff determined to retain
$15,000.00 and Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the improvements
were estimated; however, she and the
Utilities/Engineering Director were more than comfortable
with retaining $15,000.00.
C/M Hoffman said he was not satisfied that the money
being retained was sufficient to do the listed
improvements. He said he agreed that more money should
be retained.
C/M Stelzer said several years ago Oxford Development met
with Mr. Stackhouse and proposed to buy the entire Golf
Course to build a Hotel at the intersection of Commercial
Boulevard and the Florida Turnpike. He said the proposal
included a restaurant in the Hotel which could be used by
the Golfers. He said Oxford Development wanted to turn
Page 14
5/10/89 - Regular
the entire Golf Course over to the City at no charge. He
said there was a first reading of this; however, the
second reading was Tabled. He said the entire proposal
was never implemented and the people who worked on the
proposal were fired or dismissed. He said the only thing
that became of the proposal was the existing development.
C/M Stelzer said the work on the Golf Course for water
retention had been done by Oxford Development and was
supposed to be approved by the City; however, there were
no documents indicating an off -site plat which indicated
the dimensions of how far away the 8th green was supposed
to be from Sabal Palm. He said Sabal Palm was 4-feet
away from the 8th green and Oxford Development agreed
that the 8th green was placed in the wrong place;
however, on the sign -off of the approval of the 8th
green, etc., there was not one dimension evident. He
said the approved plans for the 8th green and water
retention did not indicate who approved it.
C/M Stelzer said the City was morally responsible to the
residents of Sabal Palm to see that the 8th green was
moved. He said Mr. Stackhouse has been contacting Oxford
Development for several years to move the 8th green
before they went into bankruptcy. He said the City
should be responsible for having the 8th green moved for
the safety and welfare of the residents of Sabal Palm.
C/M Stelzer suggested that the money be held because, if
the monies were returned, the situation regarding the 8th
green would not be corrected. He said the City approved
a plan allowing Oxford Development to put the 8th green
in the location; therefore, this was the City's concern.
He said the City should get this matter resolved while
the City had some control.
C/M Rohr said he has been hearing about the Sabal Palm
matter since he became a Councilmember and, after
investigating the matter, he did not find a site plan
approval of the 8th green as it presently existed. He
said the 8th green was moved and never approved by anyone
in the City. He said he would not approve of this Item.
C/M Stelzer said there was a site plan approval; however,
there were no dimensions indicated.
C/M Hoffman said he agreed that the 8th green should be
moved; however, he was concerned about who was
responsible for moving it. He said if it was Oxford
Development's responsibility, the money should be held;
however, it the responsibility was Mr. Stackhouse's, the
money should be returned to Oxford Development.
Mayor Abramowitz said he met several times with the City
Manager, Oxford Development and Mr. Stackhouse. He said
there was a point where Oxford Development was very
willing to contribute in correcting the matter; however,
Mr. Stackhouse did not agree and, if the the City did not
go along with him, the green was not going to be
corrected. He said he felt very offended when Mr.
Dressler continued bringing up the 8th green. He said he
did not want the City sued again and, if the money had
anything to do with the 8th green, he would not approve
returning it to Oxford Development.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Attorney if the City
could hold the money until Oxford Development assisted in
Page 15
5/10/89 -- Regular
correcting the matter regarding the 8th green. City
Attorney Doody replied, no.
Mr. Dressler said the changes suggested to Mr. Stackhouse
regarding relocation of the 8th green was totally
inappropriate because of the Golf Course design. He said
he wanted to see the 8th green moved.
Mayor Abramowitz said Mr. Stackhouse wanted the 8th green
moved providing the City agreed to the things he wanted
to do and Mr. Dressler said he felt this was an improper
statement.

* C/M Hoffman.
City Manager Kelly said there were three bids received on
the project and the proposals ranged from $75,000.00 to
$11,120.00. He said the proposal provided the
furnishing, installation, training, startup, updating and
re -startup of fleet maintenance and fueling software
packages to monitor the Police Vehicles. He said the
monitoring would be controlled by the Public Works
Department and he recommended approval.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City would be spending
unnecessary funds if the City decided to transfer to the
Broward Sheriff's Office and City Manager Kelly said the
City was negotiating with the Broward Sheriff's Office to
provide maintenance and monitoring of the Police Vehicles
at a cost.
C/M Hoffman had concerns regarding the feasibility and
operation of the monitor and City Manager Kelly said the
equipment was remote control for pumping out the gas and
how much was being used by the vehicles.
C/M Hoffman asked how the Public Works Department would
know who was getting fuel and City Manager Kelly said
there was an electrical card provided to each vehicle
which would indicate who was getting the gas.
C/M Stelzer said there was an existing system in the
Public Works Department where every car was assigned to a
particular lock. He said gas could not be taken from
someone else's lock. He said the new equipment would be
computerized; however, he was not pleased with the
equipment being called "Fleet Maintenance Software".
Mayor Abramowitz said he understood that the equipment
would assist Fleet Maintenance in monitoring the gas and
equipment from being used erratically.
City Manager Kelly said the equipment would prevent abuse
of the vehicles and the fuel because the monitoring
system would assist in reviewing the vehicles and
consumption.
C/M Stelzer suggested that "Fleet Maintenance Software"
be changed to "Gas Monitoring Supply System". He said
this equipment had nothing to do with Fleet Maintenance.
City Manager Kelly said the fuel and software package was
part of Fleet Maintenance.
C/M Stelzer asked why a gas monitoring system could not
be implemented.

City of Lauderhill wanted the Agreement to indicate that
Tamarac, not Lauderhill, was agreeing to the installation
and maintenance of the landscaping. He said the previous
Resolution indicated, "Xeri-Scape" and, because this was
not in the Resolution by the City of Lauderhill, they
were asking it be deleted. He recommended approval of

have not as yet signed a
mandates petition so on
I just returned from attending the State League's 1989 Legislative
Meeting where the Mandates Project was thoroughly discussed by
several members of the Legislature who emphasized over and over
again the effect these peitions are having on the Legislators.
The point was made that the petitions are doing two things. First,
they are keeping our Legislators aware of the project and they
fully realize that if we don't get the kind of legislation we need
we will be going to a referendum --and they are not anxious that
this havens .
Secondly, if we need to go the referendum route we will have the
necessary petitions t� get the job done.
We sincerely hope your City will join in on this special effort
scheduled for May 18th. -fit Y

'll deliver a supply to you. WHILE MAY 18TH IS DESIGNATED AS
F
ITY EMPLOYEE SIGN -IN DAY" please don't limit this campaign but'
t all others possible to sign in since every petition is important
