4. P_RESENTATION by North Lauderdale Mayor John Hart
concerning the "Make It Shine" program.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
PRESENTATION MADE BY MAYOR JOHN HART
Mayor John Hart, Mayor of North Lauderdale, said
approximately one year ago, Commissioner Ed Kennedy decided
it would be a good idea to have the group of cities in
Broward County form a "Make It Shine" or "Keep America
Beautiful" program. He said the City of Fort Lauderdale,
who has had a "Make It Shine" program for several years,
allowed this group to adopt their theme for the program.
Mayor Hart explained that in essence, the theme for the
program was the "Keep America Beautiful" program. He said
if a large enough group of people within each community
would dedicate their efforts toward keeping the community
beautiful, there would certainly be a change in attitude
within that particular community. He said when the group
was formed they decided it would be better to let each
community participate in something they saw fit each year
which would improve their community.
Mayor Hart said he would like to see each community in the
northwest sector participate in one or two projects which
would be specifically oriented toward neighborhood or area
improvement. He also said many of the area organizations
have decided to buy into and participate in the program.
Mayor Hart said Thelma Brown and Muriel Rennick had both
been very active in directing certain programs within the
City which fit into the "Make It Shine" program and he
extended his thanks to them for their efforts in
getting the program started in the City of Tamarac.
Ms. Muriel Rennick, President of the Tamarac Chamber of
Commerce, said on Thursday, August 27, 1987 everyone in
Tamarac was invited to go to Tamarac Veteran's Park for a
ground breaking ceremony for the "Make It Shine" program.
She said this was at the entrance to the City of Tamarac and
three trees would be planted.
Ms. Thelma Brown, Director of Community Development, said
Oxford Community had donated the three trees which would be
planted. She also said the City of Tamarac was placing one
of their bus benches at that location which would say "Make
It Shine" and "welcome to Tamarac". Ms. Brown said this had
been a very fine project and she invited everyone to
participate in the ceremony.

John P. Kelly, City Manager, said this was a
continuation of the existing agreement. He also
reported the price of $6.37 would remain the same for
residential and $3.06 for the condos within the City.
He said according to the contract, the price will stay
the same through September 30, 1988, but there was a
provision for subsequent years for escalation of fees
based on the dumping and the CPI Index. Mr. Kelly said
he was very pleased with the contract.
Mayor Hart said he felt the City Manager had done an
excellent job in negotiating this contract.
* C/M Hoffman MOVED to ADOPT SECONDED

8/26/87
b. Mayor Hart said on February 11, 1987, Resolution R-87-
62 was adopted by the City Council, and according to
Section 3 the City Manager was directed to report to
the Mayor and City Council as to the status of the
policy on a regular basis in order to determine whether
or not said policy needed to be amended, extended or
repealed in a timely manner.
City Manager John P. Kelly reported various options had
been reviewed regarding payment of the solid waste
collection for the City. He said one of the options
considered was the bag system, which is used in the
City of Plantation, but it was not an option he would
recommend for the City at this time.
Mr. Kelly said another option would be the direct
billing, wherein the vendor would bill each homeowner
or condominium directly for the service they had been
provided. He said he felt this would be costly to the
residents because the vendor would pass the cost of
billing and postage on to the customer. He said this
would add between seventy five cents and one dollar to
each bill.
Mr. Kelly said another option would be to put it on the
ad valorem, which had been done in the past. He said
to do this would jump the tax rate up 43%, so he was
not in support of that idea. Mr. Kelly also reported
that very few cities include this in their ad valorem.
Mr. Kelly said this narrowed the options down to the
Utility Billing or imposing a Utilities Service Tax.
Mr. Kelly said Tamarac did not impose a Utility Service
Tax, but that many other cities did.
Mr. Kelly said after much consideration, he was
recommending it go on the Utility Bill and that it be
dealt with as a transfer arrangement. He said in his
opinion that was the fairest way to handle the
collection of these fees.
C/M Hoffman said he could not in good conscience
support reimposition of a tax or fee which he was
against when it was originally passed. He said he was
very much against putting the entire fee on the already
burdened Utilities Bill. He said one of the reasons he
was against this was because only the home and
condominium owners would pay the costs.
Tape 2 C/M Hoffman said his suggestion was rather than to levy
a specific fee for waste disposal on the already
burdened water bill that a utility tax be placed on the
Florida Power and Light Bill. He said a tax of 5%
would give the City sufficient income to supply the
residents with all the necessary services, including
waste collection.
C/M Rohr said he agreed with what C/M Hoffman stated
above, but he suggested a 3% tax rather than 5%. He
said this would split the costs and would also bring in
other elements who are not presently paying for all the
services they enjoy. He also said he was very much
against putting it in the ad valorem.
V/M Stein said due to the contract with Waste
Management the City had to pay them $1,400,000.00, and
that money would have to come out of the taxpayers
pockets in some manner. He said the City had a very
good contract and if the bill was going to be $6.37 per
1
C
Y
8 s

month, then that is what the residents should be billed
for to pay for this service. He said he felt that was
the fair way to deal with this, and he felt the
residents would not object to paying for a service they
were receiving. V/M Stein said he was recommending the
fee be placed on the Utility Bill..
C/M Stelzer expressed concerns regarding the bag
system, saying that most homeowners have tree cuttings
and grass clippings and they would have no way to
dispose of them. He said Waste Management will take
all of this at no additional costs if it is in the
proper form. He also said he was against putting a tax
on the Florida Power and Light Bill, and he cited some
figures for an example of why it would not be fair to
the residents.
C/M Stelzer said the fairest way to handle this was to
charge the residents exactly what it costs the City.
He said each resident should be billed the exact amount
it cost for the service and this should be included on
the Utility Bill.
Mayor Hart said in the past he had been against putting
the fee on the Utility Bill and had favored putting it
on the ad valorem. He said in the last few weeks after
working on the budget, he had changed his mind. He
also said the contract with Waste Management was an
excellent one and the City now enjoyed a very low rate
in comparison to what other cities are paying.
Mayor Hart reviewed how this fee had been handled in
the past years and reminded residents that no matter
which method they decide to utilize, they are still
paying for the cost of this service.
Mayor Hart said he was against putting the fee on the
ad valorem. He informed residents he felt the City of
Tamarac was going to have the greatest reduction in ad
valorem taxes of any other city in Broward County.
Mayor Hart said after studying all the facts, he felt
the only right and honest way to handle this was to
bill each individual person for the service. He also
said at the present time, Tamarac was one of a very few
cities which does not impose a utility tax. He said
there were no plans to impose one at this time and he
hoped they would never have to impose one.
Mayor Hart said his recommendation was to include the
fee for the garbage collection on the Utility Bill.
* V/M Stein MOVED to AUTHORIZE the City Attorney to draft
* a Resolution repealing Resolution #87-62 and instituting
* the garbage fee charged by Waste Management on the
* Utility Bill, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer.
C/M Hoffman expressed objections to placing this fee on
the Utility Bill and again stated he felt the best way
to handle this was to put a tax on the electric bill.
Ms. Vickie Beech, resident of Tamarac, said the fee for
the garbage was based on the weight, or the tipping
fees. She said she felt recycling should be studied
for a long term advantage to the City. She said if the
residents could work out some routine to have their
papers and cans recycled, the funds received from that
would reduce the garbage fees.
8/26/87
V/M Stein said the City had a claim in with Waste
Management and between five and ten thousand dollars
would be coming to the City for the reduction of tonnage
because of the paper given to Durbin.
Mr. Aaron Heller, resident of Tamarac, expressed
concerns as to why the City was not under the
competitive open bid system for waste.
Mr. Marvin Barris, resident of Tamarac, said he felt it
was fair for each resident to pay their bill, and he
had no objection to placing this fee on the Utility
Bill.

Mr. John P. Kelly, City Manager, said this was
not
burning above the ground in an open field, but in
a pit
that was dug out and fueled with diesel fuel. He
said
there were severe limitations placed on the contract
and it was a very clean and efficient operation.
Mr.

8/26/87
Kelly said since this was passed on first reading one
of the concerns that had come to his attention was that
some people wanted specific sections of Chapter 17.2
and 17.4 of the State Code added to the contract, which
regarded air pollution and the burning proposal. He
said after speaking to the contractor, he had no
problem with that since they were subject to those
conditions anyway.
V/M Stein MOVED to ADOPT Temp. Ord. #13341 SECONDED
by C/M Hoffman. T
Mayor Hart opened the public hearing.
Mr. Herbert Hayes, resident of Section 20, said he was
there to speak on behalf of the Tamarac Presidents
Council. He said approximately three fourths of
the board objected to the open pit burning due to
pollution. He also expressed concerns as to whether or
not this would affect the water.
Mr. Hayes said if this open pit burning is approved by
Council, the Presidents Council wanted to recommend a
substantial fee be charged to developers using this
method.
Mayor Hart said when this was adopted on first reading,
Council recommended to the City Manager that a fee
should be imposed on the developers using this.
Ms. Florence Bochenek, resident of Tamarac, said she
had viewed the open pit burning. She said the location
of this was where Nob Hill would be if it cut through,
and that it was a long block in back of many homes.
She questioned whether or not this would have an effect
on some of those homes.
Mayor Hart said this could not be located within 500
feet of any roadways or homes.
Mr. Harold Newman, resident of Tamarac, asked how many
acres there were in Land Section 7. He also asked how
the permit fees would be established and how much the
fee would be.
City Manager Kelly said there were 525 acres in Land
Section 7. He also said the fees would be determined
by the depth of the land and the density of vegetation.
He said he was presently reviewing the fee structure.
V/M Stein said he suggested the fee be based on the
number of hours of burning.
Acting City Attorney Rednor said any fee imposed would
have to be under the State Law rationally related to
the costs incurred by the City. He said this would not
be a tax, but a regulatory fee.
Mr. Jeff Mancini, representative from Man Con, said he
was the one that would be doing the burning. He said
it would take three days to burn the brush now on the
land. He said regarding the question of the effect
on the water, if it would be a problem they would build
a berm and cut the center out of it. He also said he
had done the burning in several counties and it was
very clean, there was very little smoke and he had
never had a problem with it.

Ms. Brown said Mr. Syd Gold, the person who was

would be twenty-four hour maintenance and security on
these shelters, and this would cut down on any

Code to provide for a special exception procedure for
persons seeking to erect buildings exceeding three
(3) stories or forty (40) feet in height within B-6

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED AS AMENDED on first reading
City Manager John P. Kelly read Temp-, rd by
title.
V/M Stein called to the attention of those present
that the printing of the announcement said 72 feet in
height, which was incorrect. He said this could not
be amended because it would have made the announcement
of the meeting illegal. He said the Acting City
Attorney advised it should be amended at the meeting.

* mechanical equipment, SECONDED by C/M Hoffman.

8/26/87
* V/M Stein MOVED to ADOPT Temp. Ord. _11343 as amended,
* SECONDED C/M Hoffman.
Ms. Thelma Brown, Director of Community Development,
said currently in the 5-6 category, the maximum height
allowed is 40 feet. She said within that 40 feet it
allows for the uses to be professional, residential and
professional use in an integrated mix, so the building
such as the one being proposed could not be approved
per the Code. Ms. Brown said that was not the only
building involved in the Ordinance change.
Ms. Brown said the Ordinance would reflect that 50 feet
would be permitted in that zoning category with the
three following criteria: 1) it must be professional
use only, 2) that it have an employment base for 150
people and 3) only properties fronting on University
Drive shall qualify for this special exception.
Ms. Brown said Staff had reviewed this category with
the Building Department and with the Fire Department
and that all of those pertinent codes have been
addressed. She said Staff and the Planning
Commission recommended approval of this item.
Mayor Hart opened the Public Hearing at that time.
Mr. Burton Schneider, 8016 N. W. 72 Street, was there
on behalf of the Woodmont Properties Association. He
said he had received numerous phone
calls
from
residents of that area when they learned
of a 72
foot
building being constructed. He said the
residents
of
that area strongly oppose the use change
in zoning
that
would allow a 72 foot building to
University Drive. He also said if this
be built
exception
on
is
granted it would only open the door to have
many
more
tall buildings in Tamarac.
Mr. Lestor Cantor, 4711 Holly Drive, said he was Vice
President of the Woodlands Homeowners Association. He
said if this special exception is passed it would be
very dangerous because it would open the door for many
more tall buildings. He also said many more residents
would have attended the Public Hearing if it had not
been held during working hours.
Mayor Hart reminded those present that the motion had
been amended that the height of the buildings do not
exceed 50 feet, not 72 feet.
Mr. Charles Ellner, 4712 N. W. 58 Street, said the whole
image of the City would be altered if the present
height limitation of 40 feet is changed. He said he
saw no need to have skyscrapers in the City. He
suggested the enlargement be laterally rather than
vertically.
Mr. Henry Tartell, 4711 Banyon Lane, said over the past
forty years he had watched the destruction of many
communities in South Florida. He said the City should
keep the conjestion low so they would not lose
residents.
Mr. Ben
Rossman, 5731 S. Bayberry Lane,
said
the
previous
speakers said what he was going to
say.
He
said he was
very much opposed to this move for
a higher
structure
in Tamarac. He said Tamarac was
a
low
profile
residential community and that was
the
way
residents
wanted to keep it.

Mr. James Moore, 5608 N. W. 49 Avenue, said when
special exceptions are granted it becomes a great
problem. He said everyone will be looking for loop
holes and it will get out of control. He said Council
will not be able to stop it once it gets started.
Mr. Stanley Munskey, 8730 Azalia
Court, said the
will
and desires of the voters should
be considered.
He
also said the Public Hearing was
residents were out of town. He
held while
said the will of
many
the
voters should be heard and that
everyone was against
this.
Mrs. Helen Massaro, 5601 N. W. 50 Avenue, said she was
not in favor of any additional height. She expressed
concerns within the text of the ordinance regarding the
parking. She said there were ambiguous statements made
within the Ordinance regarding the parking. She said
the lot lines on the side were only 20 feet and if they
permitted parking there it would not allow for
beautification. She said there was something very much
wrong with the text of the Ordinance and she suggested
a good hard look be taken at it.
Mr. Ed Cohn, 8145 Pine Circle, said Council had heard
why the residents were opposed to this special
exception and he asked Council why they approved the
Ordinance.
There being no further response from the public, Mayor
Hart closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Jim Gordon, representative of the developer Steve
Weicholz, who would be constructing the building, said
when they looked for a site for this building they had
looked up and down University Drive. He said after
studying this they decided the best place for it would
be on the corner of 82 Street and University Drive.
He said they hired R.T.K.L. Associates to design an
award winning architectural design for this building.
He said this firm was requested to design the most
beautiful and most heavily landscaped building they
could put together. He then showed pictures of the
building. He said they had attempted the meet and
exceed every possible concern that had been voiced.
Mr. Gordon said the building would have underground
parking facilities. He also said over $300,000.00
would be spent on landscaping, and that over
$5,000,000.00 would be spent on the entire project. He
said this would attract a high class office complex
and would add to the tax base and be a service to the
community. He further said he believed this building
would win many architectural awards.

Mr. Gordon said this building would be four stories
high and the location was right for this building. He
assured those present that all review processes had
been complied with and that they either meet or exceed
the Code requirements.
C/M Hoffman asked Chief Raymond Briant if he had
studied the planning of the building and if there would
be availability for fire trucks to enter in case of an
emergency.

Raymond Briant, Fire Chief, said he had studied
the plans and he felt comfortable that it was adequate
to get any equipment inside or around this building if
needed.
C/M Rohr said one of the promises of his campaign was to
bring to the City a commercial base so residential
taxes would be lowered. He said the Council had to do
what they felt was the proper course for the future of
the City. He said he did not see how a beautiful
building could affect the life style of the residents.
He urged residents to look at the whole picture and
realize this was in the best interest of the City.
C/M Stelzer reminded those present this would only be on
University Drive. He said he did not understand why
residents who did not live in that area were objecting.
V/M Stein said he was a resident of Woodmont. He said
this process had been going on for several months in
going through the Site Plan Review and Planning
Commission. He said some of the officers at Woodmont
knew what was going on and he did not understand why
the objections were not voiced before this Public
Hearing. He reminded residents the building would be
50 feet, with 14 feet for mechanical equipment.
V/M Stein said there was a four story building on Pine
Island Road. He also said there were only two pieces of
property that could be affected, the Krinsky piece and
this piece. He said after that, there was no more to
discuss.
V/M Stein said he lived very close to the area and he
did not feel it would affect his property value. He
said he would rather have this beautiful building
located there than a three story concrete
building with no beauty. He reminded residents that
the City Council was there to represent their best
interest.
Mayor Hart said by allowing this four story building on
University Drive would not set a precedent in the City.
He said there were four story buildings in Sabal Palm.
He said in regard to the beautification, when the plans
are presented to the Planning Commission and the City
Council, beautification is one of the subjects that is
then taken up and must be approved.
Mayor Hart also said most of the residents present at
the hearing would not be affected by this Ordinance
becuase it was strictly for University Drive. He said
looking at the pictures of the building it would be far
superior and better looking than any other building
that may be erected.
C/M Hoffman said the building, as presented, should make
the residents proud to have it located within the City
of Tamarac. He said he could not see how anyone would
be affected by a building of this type.
