5. Visit by Commissioner Howard Craft - Discussion of mutual concerns.
SYNOPSIS OI' ACTTO"T: Commissioner Craft
discussed various items of mutual concern.
Noise level problem solved. Backpumping
matter still being studied and monitored.
Overpass matter to be solved in near future.
Mayor Falck inquired when the matter of the Overpass would be solved,
Commissioner Craft indicated it should be within a matter of a very
few days. If no action has been noted by the next Council Meeting,
Commissioner Craft suggested Council contact him again. Council-
woman Massaro commented that the contractor had said it would be
completed sixty days from date that action was taken by the Commission.
Commissioner Craft said he did not think it should take sixty days.
-2- 9/23/81 /lc
Councilwoman Massaro stated it is common knowledge that Tamarac
has been consistently working on the matter of backpumping for
several years and it distresses her that now that it is coming
close to consideration of it, that Coral Springs is asking that it
be initiated in their area. Councilwoman Massaro indicated she will
want to discuss the matter with Commissioner Craft. Commissioner
Craft said he will get an update on it and they can discuss it. The
Mayor said he attended the Meeting of the S. Fla. Water Management
District a few months ago, and there was reference made at that
meeting this was the general concept and he said he believed they
had been involved rather extensively in putting the thing together,
which has already been communicated to Council. Mayor Falck said
he was also perturbed because the City has done a great deal of work
and Council has worked for years to improve drainage in Tamarac and
the City needs something on a big scale for problems such as experienced
in the 100-year storm. Councilwoman Massaro noted that Coral Springs
has not done the work, nor spent the money, that Tamarac has to allevi-
ate the problem, and now they wish to latch on to the work that Tamarac
has been doing. Commissioner Craft agreed to examine that and see if
they can keep equity. Commissioner Craft pointed out the County
Commission will insist it not be a negative factor on the delicate
balance of the Everglades by doing the backpumping. If the County
Commission is not assured there will be no negative affect, they will
oppose the backpumping.
Councilwoman Massaro noted that the responsibility for who allows the
backpumping, if it goes in, should be in hands who will make good
judgment, and not someone who would be callous about it. Commissioner
Craft said he thinks there will be a beefing up of the EQCB with the
new budget, and they are being more demanding on them, and he thinks
there will be a renewed capability in that area over the next year.
Vice Mayor Disraelly discussed the matter of the traffic light on
57th Street, Commissioner Craft indicated he did not wish to hold
out false hope and he did not think the County Commission would
change its position regarding the installation of a traffic light
at that location.
The Vice Mayor discussed the problems that would arise from the
possible closing of 57th Street, he said there will be a tremendous
amount of traffic that will be generated on 57th Street on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday nights when Sunrise Theater breaks off and
the Temple has a great number of people exiting and if they could
use 57th Street it will reduce the potential of a great many
accidents. He noted that if people are going to leave the Temple and
proceed south to get into Commercial Boulevard, the traffic will be
going east -west at that time and he can see great problems if 57th
Street is blocked off. The Vice Mayor questioned the possibility of
having synchronized lights at that location. He said it should be
re -thought and another determination made since a traffic light at
that location would save lives. Commissioner Craft said the Broward
County Staff had made a study months ago, and that light would be
only 200' from Commercial Boulevard and Staff said under the law that
can not be allowed.
Councilwoman Massaro pointed out when the Sunrise Theater comes out,
and the people from Temple come out at the same time, it is a very
serious traffic problem. Commissioner Craft stated if a light does
not meet the Green Book warrants, and when it doesn't, it is next to
impossible. Vice Mayor Disraelly questioned if the County would
consider a light at 91st Avenue. Commissioner Craft said he did not
know. Mayor Falck said Mr. Slater at Visual Graphics pointed out
a problem he had getting to his Plant because of Commercial Blvd.
being blocked with an overflow from Sunrise Theater, and if it were
not for 57th Street being open, he could not have gotten to his Plant.
Councilman zemel said he has had the same situation brought to his
attention. He said he would not like to see 57th Street closed
unless there is a light at that location.
Councilwoman Massaro said the County had sent the Plans in for the
Ci.ty's engineering department to review the construction intentions,
and she does not like to see the City take on liability because of
the fact the Commission has already ruled that something should be
done at this intersection and that should be considered when the Item
comes up on the Agenda.
-3- 9/23/81 /lc
Councilman Kravitz indicated he is disturbed at a decision that
was handed down by the Hospital Review Board. The Board made a..
decision concerning the 73 additional beds at University Hospital
that they could not be allowed. He said the Mayor or City Officials
should have been called -in to get their reactions.
Commissioner Craft said he has discussed the matter with Mayor Falck,
and conferred with the Director of University Hospital by telephone.
He said the County Commission has nothing to do with the decision,
the people who control the Hospital Review Board also control another
Board, the Health Planning Council, and those people decide who
needs more hospital beds. Commissioner Craft stated the only chance
he could see to get the additional beds at University Hospital is to
start a grass -roots movement, and take it directly to the State.
Commissioner Craft said he did not know if the County Commission would
want to take a stand on the matter or not, personally he would be more
than pleased to work with the City on the problem.
The City Manager discussed with Commissioner Craft
the section of Commercial Boulevard that needs sod. The Public
Works Director of the City is working with Mr. Thies on the matter
of cutting the sections of the medians from the Turnpike eastward
to Prospect Road. She said there was some confusion as to the readi-
ness for the City to accept them. Mr. Thies is to meet the City
crew at a portion around 31st Avenue on Commercial Boulevard, to
share the responsibility. The City has done the work from State Rd. 7
to the Turnpike. Commissioner Craft said it would appear to have
been taken care of back in July. City Manager Stuurmans indicated
there are two trees to be replaced in that area, but a cooperative
effort is being made at the present time.
City Attorney Arthur Birken discussed a Resolution that the City Council
had sent to the County Commission suggesting that the County consider
TAPE the creation of a new position of Assistant County Administrator.
Commissioner Craft indicated the matter had been studied over a period
#2 of months, and Mitch Ceaser had spoken with him concerning the City's
position. Commissioner Craft said the County has created a position
of inter-govermental relations and it is budgeted, and the County
Commission will be going into the market to hire someone to fill the
position. Mr. Birken said the Council feels there is a need for
someone that has been employed by a City and knows what the City
problems are in Broward County.
Commissioner Craft stated that he thought working through the District
Commissioner is going to be much more effective, and he thought he
could get a great deal more done, than somebody who is available to
go out to speak on the Rotarian and Kiwanis circuit.
Mr. Birken noted that the City Council is very concerned with the
Broward County Board of Rules & Appeals opinion that Cities have
been preempted from having a requirement for smoke detectors or
sprinklers. The Council thought the appointment process might be
discussed, since the County Commission does appoint members to the
Board of Rules & Appeals and if the Commissioners share the concern
the need to allow local action to require smoke detectors, that part
of the screening process of prospective appointees to that Board should
be diligent inquiry into their position on that point. Commissioner
Craft indicated that modifying the South Florida Building Code would
be a better manner of approach to that. He stated he would hope the
Commission would not make an appointment to a Board based on a person's
feeling on one particular issue. Commissioner Craft said he has no
problem with local option, but he does not think it could be accomplished
without changing the South Florida Building Code.
Councilwoman Massaro said she could see no reason why the matter can
not be on an agenda so the City can appear before them to ask for
reconsideration on the subject of smoke detectors, and present
their views. Mayor Falck pointed out that insurance companies are
giving a 5% credit for the installation of smoke detectors. He said
he can not understand the thinking of the people who sit on the Board
of Rules & Appeals, and if the insurance companies feel it is beneficial
and justify a 5% credit, it ought to be looked at realistically. Com-
missioner Craft agreed to examine the matter further.

6. Beautification Committee - Presentation by Florence Bochenek, Vice
Chairman, relating to City-wide beautification/landscaping program
as developed by this Committee.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Matter to
be studied and reviewed by Council
and brought back at a later date
for action.
I
Mrs. Bochenek indicated the Beautification Committee has received
great cooperation from the various builders who come before the
Committee. They have met suggestions of the City Planner and
have done much to make the City more beautiful. Mrs. Bochenek
discussed the City's part in beautification and said she thinks
the City must start to protect its image and she would like to
see something happen now. Mrs. Bochenek exhibited a plan that
had been worked up by the City Planner, which showed the first
phases of beautification of the City. She mentioned that the City
Planner has donated his time and services for the project.
The first phase of the beautification will be the City Hall property.
Mrs. Bochenek said the perimeter of the property around the City
Hall building will be completed first and they will start with
plants indigenous to the State of Florida. She commented there
are many beautiful trees and shrubs indigenous to Florida and they
should be used.
Mrs. Bochenek described the work to be done, she pointed to two
trouble spots, noting that coming down 88th Avenue the first view
of City Hall is the area near the Police Department and they thought
the Areca Palms in that area would give a buffer and soft look.
The electrical boxes will be shielded with plants. In front of
the building, there is a median directly across from City Hall
and this would be the first of the "Tamarac looks". At that
location they would like to see the City Tree planted, as it will
be planted in many places in the City. Also, they wish to remove
the flagpoles and have a flower box in that curbed area. The
flower box, would eliminate the curb and add beauty to that spot.
Flower Clubs would help with annual plantings in the box.
Councilwoman Massaro commented that she would like to study the
plan and possibly at the next meeting some decision could be made.
She noted that what the Beautification Committee is doing is
extremely good,. and Council should follow the direction of trying
to beautify various areas. The City is putting money into t'ze
budget to beautify the Public Works site, and there are things that
Council has to work on with the County. However, she said the
matter should be reviewed and come back again to Council for a
decision.
Vice Mayor Disraelly said the Committee has spent a great deal of
time on the plans and preparations and as they progressed the major
concern was City Hall. Also, Public Works has been discussed as a
priority project. The Vice Mayor suggested the Committee view the
plans that the Public Works Director has. He said the presentation
by Mrs. Bochenek is an excellent approach and it is not a great cost
since they hope to work with the Rare Fruit Council and the Garden
Clubs for futher assistance.
Mrs. Bochenek indicated there has been a great deal of interest
shown and they have tried to pare the first venture down to a
minimum amount. She said she thinks it imperative they take the
first step in this direction. and she hopes for Council's support
and encouragement so they will feel that they are doing what they
are supposed to do.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that Mrs. Bochenek's report be
accepted, and that the matter be considered and reviewed and
brought back at an early date for further discussion and possibly
take action. Councilman Zemel SECONDED the Motion.

later than 9/9/82.
Katie Braiman, Toll Development, discussed the original agree-
ment for recreation fees which was that they would pay some
$21,000. in recreation fees in percentages as they drew the
building permits. It has been a year, and only one building
permit has been dra,-.n, for which the $3,090. was paid.They have not
drawn another building permit. Economic conditions have made
it so that it is not economically feasible to go forward at
this time. Ms. Braiman said the project is not dead, and as
soon as things start turning around and there are buyers in Tamarac
again, hopefully they will go forward with the job. However,
they have not been drawing permits.
Ms. Braiman said at the time the agreement was made, Southgate
Blvd. was unusual in that there was no Ordinance in the City to
cover how fees would be paid on a pre -platted piece of ground.
The agreement was signed on a per -permit basis. Ms. Braiman said
at that time they did not know there was a one-year time period
on the agreement, and also under normal conditions there would
be eight buildings out there.
In addition to the $3,090. which had been paid when the permit
for one building was drawn, Ms. Braiman said an additional $5,000
had been paid with their letter of September 21st. She said they
would like to have all of the agreements go back to a permit date,
they intend to go forward with the job and draw permits shortly.
The City Attorney noted that the entire amount of $21,000. would
be due and payable 12 months from the date of issuance of the
first permit, under the Agreement. Mr. Birken_s_tated that Council
has the authority to amend the Agreement.
Councilwoman Massaro suggested it be the same type of agreement,
to be paid as permits are drawn and not to exceed one year from
the date of expiration of the original Agreement, which will be
September 9, 1982.
Vice Mayor Disraelly said if no permits are issued they will
still pay anotner $S,OUO, Councilwoman massaro said she would
prefer to see that $5,000. connected to the first six months.
The entire amount will be paid by September 9, 1982, that would
be $12,910. Mayor Falck commented he was in favor of extending
the Agreement on the same basis as the present agreement. Mr.
Birken said he saw nothing wrong with that, legally.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that the same Agreement be extended
for one year from the time � of expiration dateh..
which was September 9, 1981; and to pay as additional permits
are drawn down, in the usual amount. The extension is not to
exceed one year when the full amount is due, on Or prior to
September 9, 1982. Vice Mayor Disraelly SECONDED the Motion.

33. N. W. 57th Street Closing - Discussion and possible action on
Broward ..-- -- - County engineering plans for the closing structure an
N.W. 57th Street at Pine Island*Road. (tabled from 9/9/81)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled until
input is received from County
Commission with regard to traffic light.
Mr. David Krantz, Second Vice President of the Temple, represent-
ing the officers, directors, and membership discussed the number
of members of the congregation. Also, many Hadassah groups and
neighboring lodges use the facilities. He said the number of
cars coming in and out of the parking lot total several thousand
on a daily and weekly basis. Mr'. Krantz said closing 57th Street
-6- 9/23/81 /lc
to westbound traffic would be a hardship. Mr. Krantz described
the traffic problems that would be involved, and appealed to
Council to please retain the current status which has proved
satisfactory in the eight years of the Temple's existence.
Mr. Krantz stated the Temple and all of its' affiliates go on
record officially as being adamantly opposed to the closing of
N. W. 57th Street.
Mr. Jack Weiner, President of the Jewish Center, stated he is
in full agreement with Mr. Krantz. He said he feels the same way
about closing the street since he walks to the Temple on Saturdays
and holidays and also drives it several times a week. He said
that he feels there should be a traffic light on that corner. To
close the street would be a hardship on their members and on the
entire community. Mr. Weiner discussed the problems that would
be involved with traffic if the street were closed. Therefore,
he said the street should stay open and they appeal to Council to
do everything to put a light at that location and to keep the
street open.
Mr. Weiner presented to Mayor Falck and to Councilwoman Massaro
a membership to the Temple. Mr. Weiner read the document on behalf
of the Officers and Board of Directors which stated it was their
pleasure to confer honorary membership upon them. He expressed
the appreciation of the Temple for the fine cooperation the Mayor
had given to them in the past.
Mayor Falck explained the Council has gone on record as being in
favor of the traffic light, however they do not ultimately make
that decision. Vice Mayor Disraelly explained that Commissioner
Howard Craft had been at the meeting earlier and there was con -
TAPE siderable discussion concerning the light and the possible closing
#3 of 57th Street at Pine Island Road. Vice Mayor Disraelly stated
he knows that Commissioner Craft left with the strong feeling of
the Council, and he is certain that the matter will be
reviewed again. Vice Mayor Disraelly said the Council has
indicated that all members of Council think there must be another
solution.

the City s liability coverage limits.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: General Liability
and Property Damage insurance coverages
increased at a cost of $1130 for General
Liability and $2056 for Property Damage.
VOTE
City Attorney Birken explained on October lst the limits on Soverei,9n
immunity increased and it is imperative from the City Attorney's
point of view that the City have additional insurance. He urged
the City Council to add the coverage as set forth in Judy Deutsch's
memorandum.
Mayor Falck explained the City had a quote on General Liability of
$1411. and Auto Liability of $2770. The Mayor said as of that morning
a note was sent stating if the Property Damage was $100,000 instead
of $200,000 it would be reduced to $1130 for General Liability and
$2056 for the Auto Liability. Mayor Falck recommended that route
be followed. The City Attorney said that those figures are the
new cap on exposure. Mayor Falck said the new figures would be
$1130 for General Liability from now until April 1st, 1982, and
$2056 for Property Damage. A reduction of approximately $700.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED the increase in General Liability and
Property Damage insurance at a cost of $1130. for General Liability
and $2056 for Property Damage, as outlined. Councilman Kravitz
SECONDED the Motion.
Mayor Falck stated that while it seems like a high cost and indicates
the limits, the City still hassovereign immunity and this is a lo,,:-
price to pay for having a cap on whatever the City might otherwise
have to pay. He said that he is grateful for the cap, because otr:er-
wise everyone is tryin- to deternine what would be the proper limits
of liability, and without sovereign immunity they can not have such A
c ap .
Councilwoman Massaro inquired if there is money in the Budget to
absorb the additional cost, City Manager Stuurmans replied that
there is.

29. Site Plan and Develo ment Review Regulations - Temp. Ord. #878 -
Discussion and possible action to amend Article II ot Chapter
7 of the code to provide procedures for the development of and
improvements to real property in the City.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved
on first reading as amended.
The City Attorney read the title of the Ordinance. He commented that
it is the most important Ordinance Council has seen in a long time.
Essentially it modified the existing Chapter 7 of the City Code
and establishes standards for development review and recognizes
and refers to existing standards located throughout the Code.
Mr. Birken stated that the Ordinance is required by the City's Land
Use Element and it is one in which Council has had considerable
input. He said the major change in the Ordinance from the one that
Council saw in July has to do with Preliminary Site Plan Review, it
provides that Preliminary Site Plan Review will be by Staff and not
by members of the Planning Commission. The Ordinance was reviewed
as drafted by the Planning Commission and they had no adverse com-
ments on that point. There is a provision concerning Council
being provided with copies of Site Plans when submitted, automatically.
That can be handled administratively, however it can be included in
the Ordinance. Mr. Birken said he had no comments concerning Mr.
Darby's letter of September 17, directed to Council containing
suggested changes concerning what should be included in a Site Plan.
A minor change suggested by the Planning Commission was submitted to
Council. Mr. Birken pointed out the importance of prompt action by
-13- 9/23/81
Council since there is litigation between Broward County and the
City of Tamarac concerning land development regulations. Broward
County has made an issue out of the fact Cities do not have a formal
Development Review Ordinance. The City Attorney stressed that it
is imperative the regulation be on the books. Mr. Birken said the
letter from Darby and Way can be considered at Second Reading.
TAPE Vice Mayor Disraelly suggested the verbiage in the prior Ordinance
#4 be added on Page 4, line 34, "site area, net the area of the
parcel excluding public rights of way". Page 16, line 22 after the
#3., add the word "written"; line 24, after the #4, add the word
"written"; line 27, after the #5, add the word "written". Page
37, on line 21 substitute the words "certificate of occupancy" in
place of "occupational license".
Vice Mayor Disraelly stated that he is personally concerned about
the fact there is no preliminary Site Plan.that will go before
the Planning Commission. The Vice Mayor said his concern is that if
the Planning Commission sees a Final Site plan on Wednesday if they
approve it, and it is agendized on Thursday, the Council will not get
it in their packet until late on Friday and they only have the weekend
in which to review a final Site Plan and make a determination as to
what action they will, take. With a preliminary Site Plan they would
have at least seen the preliminary Site Plan and they would have seen
the report of the Planning Commission and would have had two weeks
to review the preliminary Site Plan, and would know what changes
had been suggested. The Vice Mayor said he is particularly concerned
about the short time they will have and if there are three or four
site plans they would have to do all of this over the weekend. He
said he would like to see the preliminary Site Plan by Staff and
Planning Commission review reinstated into the Ordinance.
Councilwoman Massaro explained that Staff is reviewing the preliminary
plans and it was her suggestion that it be required within the Ordinance
that plans be furnished to the City Council, so Council would have the
same time elements as before. Vice Mayor Disraelly said if Council
can see them he would be happy, and he commented that i£ the -pre-
liminary _
liminary Site Plans go to the Planning Commission, in addition to the
final it is only fourteen days.
Mayor Falck suggested adoption on first reading, and if Council feels
so inclined he will be happy to schedule a Workshop between first
and second reading, and resolve any aspects of it, including those
raised by the Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor Disraelly agreed.
Councilman Zemel expressed concern that they must have as much time
as possible so they will not make a mistake that will cost the people
of the City money or aesthetic beauty or any other problems.

Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that Temporary Ordinance #878, Site
Plan and Development Review Regulations, be APPROVED on first
reading, as amended. Councilman Zemel SECONDED the motion.

TAMARAC UTILITIES
Large g User Agreement with Broward County - Status Report by
Consulting City Attorney. Discussion and Possible Action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Status Report
by Consulting City Attorney. Mr.
Ruf authorized to pursue matter
with proper County authorities,
and to use services of Consulting
Engineer, and prepare for possibility
of an escrow acct.
Consulting City Attorney Alan Ruf stated that he was asked by the
City Attorney to involve himself in a review of the
-14- 9/23/81
VOTE:
background and present status of the City of Tamarac obligation
under the large user agreement. Mr. Ruf said the City has been
advised by the County that beginning October 1 the City should know
they are ready to implement the large user agreement that was
executed between Tamarac Utilities .(assigned to the City at the
time the City purchased the Utility) and Broward County. The terms
of the large user agreement would require the City to pay for the
operation, maintenance and debt service in the amount of $217,475.
in the year 1981-82; and also would require the City to pay for
transmission debt service in the amount of $161,131.
Mr. Ruf said he had spoken with the City Engineer and Consulting
Engineer during the past week, and had meetings with them. It is
their opinion that the County may be in violation of their obligations
under the large user agreement, to provide transmission of the large
amount of effluent to their treatment facility.
The Consulting City Attorney commented that his initial investigation
would indicate that the Engineers are correct and there are some pro-
visions in the agreement that require discussion with County Officials.
He said he would like permission of the Council to pursue the matter
with various County Officials and also to use the City Engineer and/or
the Consulting City Engineer for those discussions. Also, Mr. Ruf said
he believes there are some provisions of the Large User Agreement
which the City should seek to pursue at this time. There is a pro-
vision of the Agreement that allows Broward County to modify the flow
and the charge for the flow, and he would discuss that provision with
County Officials. Also, there is a provision that indicates if the
City is in conflict about the rates or any other matter, they would
make the payment to an interest bearing escrow account agreeable to
both the County and the City. The matter would then be negotiated
and/or litigated, and the funds would then be available for which-
ever party was succesful in the negotiation or litigation.
Vice Mayor Disraelly questioned the fact part of the debt service
charge is based upon gallons reserved, and it is also a question of
how big the treatment plant is and how large the transmission lines.
Mr. Ruf said the treatment plant is completed, however it is a question
of transmission. Vice Mayor Disraelly stated if the City can not get
the effluent to them, we should not be paying the $6.8 million. Mr.
Ruf said that is one of the positions the City would be taking.
Mr. Ruf indicated that the Consulting Engineer is satisfied that the
treatment plant can handle the waste water if the City can get it there.
Further, he said he would like the option of making the payment to
the interest -bearing trust account. Mr. Ruf expressed the hope that
the City would be able to negotiate rather than litigate this matter,
at which time a decision would be made reference to the interest.
Councilwoman Massaro mentioned that it might be necessary to call a
special meeting. Mr. Ruf stated that he plans to put the County on
notice that there are problems.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that Mr. Ruf be authorized to pursue the
matter with the County Officials, whomever he may decide they should
be, and that he be authorized to use the City Engineer, the Consult-
ing Engineers, and to prepare for a possible need for an escrow
account to meet whatever payments should be made at the proper time
so that the City would not be in default, and that if necessary he
will consult with the Mayor about a special meeting if he thinks it
is necessary in order that the matter can be brought to proper
conclusion as soon as possible. Councilman Kravitz SECONDED.
ALL VOTED AYE.
Mayor Falck indicated to Council that he will be attending the
first meeting of the Committee from the North Area on the matter
of waste water and he will report back to Council so Council can
appoint someone later on.

and possible action to vacate a portion of a utility easement on Lot 11,
Block 25. (tabled from 7/24/81)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted RESOLUTION NO. R-- g7l,V2PASSED.
subject to American Cable letter
which is attached to Resolution.
The City Attorney read the Resolution by Title. He noted that it had
been tabled on a number of occasions. The main concern had been a
failure to receive letters from the various utilites agreeing to
-16- 9/23/81 /lc
L
the vacations. Those letters were received, the City Engineer questioned
the letter from American Video in which they said they have no objection to
a release of the four -foot portion of the easement on the east border
of the west end of the easement, however they must stipulate in the event
they are required to excavate the remaining portion of the easement
for the purpose of repair or replacement of their cables, they bear no
responsibility for structural damage. Mr. Birken said he did not
think that was a matter the Council had to concern themselves with.
it is a matter between the utility and the property owner and it would
appear if Council wished to act affirmatively, they have all the docu-
ments to do so.
Councilwoman Massaro questioned if the matter should have come before
the Board of Adjustment. The City Attorney said the matter belonged
before Council.
Councilwoman Massaro inquired if the City Attorney was satisfied that
the City has no responsibility in view of the fact they have put the
City on notice. Mr. Birken replied that he is satisfied, he said
the City was not put on notice, they merely had requested a copy of
the letter. Vice Mayor:Disraelly referred to a letter from Florida
Power & Light which mentioned an additional two feet, rather than four
feet. Mr. Birken said he did not know what FP&L was referring to.
Vice Mayor Disraelly explained that a letter from FP&L on April 21st
referred to the first two feet and the August 21st indicates an
additional two feet, and he thought FP&L was giving them four feet.
The letter from American Video is addressed to Steve Beyer
so it would seem the City has no problem.
Mr. Birken said he saw no harm making approval subject to the reservation
of the American Video September 1st letter.
Vice Mayor Disraelly MOVED ADOPTION of Temp. Reso. #1910, and to include
in Section II the reference to the letter of American Cable dated
September 1, 1981 addressed to Steve Beyer re the Petition of Jack and
Pricilla Rose.
The City Attorney suggested'thatthe Vice Mayor state in the Motion that
the Resolution is subject to the letter from American Cable of September
1, 1981, attached to the Resolution.

that the item be tabled.
Mr. Birken said that he also understands that Council may want to

was sent at the request of the City Attorney and was in response to the
Planning Board action at their meeting the previous week, wherein they
tabled action on the reserve units. They must take that action before
Council can do so, and before the Second Reading can be held. Mr. Bryan
suggested the item be held over until the October 14 meeting because

# 4
Mr. Dan Oyler, Vice President of Craven -Thompson introduced the Council
to a new developer in Tamarac who has not done work in the,City pre-
viously, and discussed what they propose to build on the southeast
corner of Bailey and Rock Island Road. The corporation which will be
building the project is called the Lakes of Carriage Hill, Inc. They
have built projects in Broward County, and Mr. Oyler described the
various projects they have built, and displayed photographs of a
project they have just completed in Hollywood.
Mr. Oyler showed the location of the project, and said the land is
zoned R-4A and the Land Use Plan shows about 15 units per acre. He
said they propose to build about 13 units per acre on the property.
The concept of the plan is a water -oriented type community, with
five and a half acres of water bodies. All units focus on the water.
Mr. Oyler explained that they plan to build three-story two -bedroom
apartments. The buildings will consist of from 54 units per building
down to 43 or 44 units per building. One central main recreation area
will be provided, which will be the clubhouse, tennis facility, swimming
pool and eventually shuffleboard courts.- At the present time,two
satellite pools and recreation areas for the development.
Mr. Oyler said they propose to bring Sabal Palm Boulevard on through
and out to Bailey Road, and have the 70' right-of-way shown on the
existing plat. He said it will be landscaped and treated the same
as it presently is to make the whole complex unified as to one development.
All necessary water and sewer will be provided, the water comes from
Broadview Utilities and the Sewer is Tamarac Utilities. They have
been in contact with Broward County and with the City Planner and feel
they have a good project that will be an asset to the City of Tamarac.
One unique situation of the project is that one-half of the project is
not platted yet. He said they will be coming in for over-all site plan
approval and approval of the plat on the unplatted area, vacations of
certain water and sewer utility easements and separate instruments to
put them back on the property at the proper locations. Mr. Oyler said
he hopes there will be no confusion on what they plan to do, they hope
to be under construction around January or February on the platted
property, starting with the Clubhouse to open up for sales, etc.
Vice Mayor Disraelly questioned the north half of the property, Mr. Oyler
indicated Carriage Hills had purchased the northern half of the Sabal
Palm property. He said they understand the City Engineer has a problem
with traffic circulation in that area, and they have been in contact with
him and have agreed to prepare drawings for the City to improve that
intersection and will take care of it for the City to give a better
entry into the situation, including the development to the south. He
said they plan to redo the area for the City and to take care of it.
Mr. Oyler said the planned drainage will be underneath the roads into
the lake and out to the outfall pipe in the easement which runs into
the canal.
Councilwoman Massaro indicated there will be problems until the developer
gets County approval. Many of the things will depend on an overall
approval before they can start on the platted area. Mr. Oyler said
one spills into the other as far as County approvals for retention and
that sort of thing. However they have talked with Mr. Rubin and Mr.
Keating and they plan to provide an outfall on the unplatted property.
He said they hope to site -plan the whole thing and at least pull a
building permit for the Clubhouse area and get that under construction,
and the dredging of the lake that is on the platted property. Mr. Oyler
said they anticipate the Plat as being recorded before they pull the
building permit on the first building. He said they realize they will
have to work things out with the County to satisfy the City.
Mr. Oyler said whatever security the City needs for them to go ahead
with the first portion of the development they will work out to the
City's satisfaction. Mr. Oyler said the development will be planned
in one phase, with the Clubhouse and facilities first and then commence

lation of sidewalk, bond approval by City Engr.
and Atty., sidewalk to be 5'wide
and installed before inspection of
facility. Fees to be paid before
issuance of permit.
Councilwoman Massaro indicated there is a problem with the S-1 parcel
being zoned. She _noted the item was tabled at the last meeting because
it was felt the action had to be resolved before the model sales facility
could be given. Councilwoman Massaro said she felt the item should
be tabled until the problems are resolved. Councilman Zemel SECONDED.
Julian Bryan, representing Northwood II, addressed the Council. He said
he was out of the room when the item was called. Councilwoman Massaro
explained there had been a motion and a second to table the item until
the matters are resolved as far as recreation parcels are concerned, and
hopefully it would be the next regular meeting.
Mr. Bryan explained that this is Northwood II, and unrelated to the
recreation parcel of Springlake I & II, and is a totally separate issue.
He said the reason the item was tabled was because Councilwoman Massaro
had requested that a sidewalk be constructed along Southgate Blvd. which
was not a Code requirement, and was something HLR had to consider and
it would be a cash expense for them since it is not included in their
sales price. Mr. Bryan stated that he had been authorized to commit
the developer to construction of the sidewalk along Southgate Boulevard,
however there is pending before Council consideration in the near future
of the transfer of some additional reserve units to tract 36 and in
part of that discussion it had been indicated an in -kind contribution
toward the purchase of those reserve units would be the construction
of not only that portion of the sidewalk, but some additional 6000 linear
feet along Southgate Boulevard, to get them from the west end of Westwood
24 to the east end of Westwood 23. Mr. Bryan asked that the 800' of
sidwalk be a part of that 6700', and credited at the proper time. If
the agreement is never consummated, then HLR would not get credit for it.
Councilwoman Massaro said until Council knows what the entire agreement
is they would not concede to anything. Mr. Bryan said all he is suggest-
ing at the present meeting is that they would like to be able to proceed
with the model building, which is all that is before Council at the
present time concerning Northwood II. Further, he stated they would
commit to the sidewalk, with the request that if and when the transfer
of units is accomplished they will be given credit for that piece of
sidewalk.
Mr. Bryan agreed that the sidewalk under discussion would be put in
immediately. Councilwoman Massaro said the sidewalk should be put in
first, and whether or not credit would be given for it will remain with
the rest of the agreement, and before he puts up the model sales the
sidewalk is to be installed. Mr. Bryan suggested that it be completed
prior to the Certificate of Occupancy of the model sales building.
It was agreed the sidewalk will be installed before final inspection
of the model sales building. Bond and appropriate fees to be paid before
permit can be issued for the Model Sales Facility.
The Motion to TABLE was WITHDRAWN by Councilwoman Massaro, Councilman
Zemel WITHDREW the SECOND.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that the APPROVAL be granted for the Northwood
II Model Sales Facility, subiect to a hr)nd and appropriate feet bpirrr

use consistent with current R-4A zoning. Nothing contained in the

action on a request to release a warranty bond posted to guarantee public
improvements.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled
until next regular meeting
of Council to solve problems
with retention, drainage and
beautification.
The City Attorney read the title of the Resolution.
Councilwoman Massaro inquired about the retention area and catch basin
on the south east corner of the property. The catch basin is higher than
the area, it should be dropped and the grass area around it is nothing but
weeds, and she questioned if the bond should be released. Councilwoman
Massaro noted that the other area, thelgrease trap, etc., has been taken
care of, and is in nice condition. Vice Mayor Disraelly commented that
it is being kept reasonably clean. He said the note from Frank Barbuto,
Asst. City Engineer, indicated he is not particularly concerned about
the catch basin, it just gives extra retention at that area. Council-
woman Massaro stated that she is concerned that water stands there
during a period of time until it evaporates, which causes mosquitoes to
breed.
Vice Mayor Disraelly indicated he is more concerned about the parking
and the beautification is horrendous, there are many trees to be replaced.
He commented that the trees are dying and there is a problem on the
parking lot adjacent to the Shell Station where there is stagnant water.
He indicated that he did not feel the bond should be released.
Larry Keating, City Engineer, told the Council that his department has
notified Family Mart of certain deficiencies under the terms of the

that the beautification was not addressed in the memo, Mr. Keating
replied that is not his responsibility.

41. Westwood 3 Drainage Augmentation - Report and recommendation of
City Engineer. Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Consultant
Engineer authorized to redesign
project at a cost 'not to exceed
$1000.
Lilly"
City Engineer Keating explained that the recommendation he is making;
is that the City authorize the Engineer to modify the original plans
for Westwood Blvd. which would now have the drainage installed complete-
ly in Westwood Blvd. and not adjacent to them; and also would remove
the requirement for obtaining easements for the construction. The
Consulting Engineer and Staff Engineers estimate the project costs
to be similar to those originally contemplated for the area. That
amount was around $125,000.
Councilwoman Massaro inquired if dredging the outfall canals will have
any effect on this, Mr. Keating replied that it will not. He explained
that the problem is that the pipes are too small to carry the water
to the canals. There are significant problems in that area. Mr.
Keating said there are modifications required to the design plans which
should cost less than $1000. to redesign.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that the Consultant Engineer be authorized
to redesign the project and then come back to Council for authority to
go back to bid, at a cost not to exceed $1000. If greater than that
amount it will be brought back to Council for consideration. Council-
man Kravitz SECONDED.
The City Engineersuggested that it be brought back to the City Manager
instead of coming back to Council, to go out to bid;.land then come back
to Council for the award. Councilwoman Massaro agreed to make that part
of the MOTION, that the City Manager be authorized to prepare for bid,
and to go to bid. The SECONDER agreed to the amendment.
ALL VOTED AYE.
In reply to a question concerning the area east of 441 in the area
of Wellen's Furniture Store, Mr. Keating stated that he and Mr. Thissen
had discussed the matter and the most recent set of plans have come in
from Craven & Thompson showing the culverts that exist that the Public
Works Director has proposed connecting in to. The City Engineer said
they have determined it is a 24" culvert and may not have sufficient
capacity to accomplish what they are trying to do at that location.
Mr. Keating said during construction of an office building to the south
a drainage ditch will be cleaned and that will probably improve the
situation and he and Mr. Thissen would like to explore the possibility
TAPE of obtaining easements from 49th Street south into the drainage ditch
# 6 which would be shorter runs and more efficient drainage. Mr. Keating
indicated he will be able to say whether that is feasible or not, within
a month. Councilwoman Massaro inquired if Mr. Keating had discussed the
drainage within Isles of Tamarac with Gary Glusman. Mr. Keating said
they have determined that they are working in that area, repairing
catch basin aprons at that point. Mr. Keating indicated there are
a large number of complaints in the file.about lot grading, some are
determined not to be valid and others appear to be valid. Mr. Keating
stated he has not compiled a list at this point to show an exact listing

of the problems, but they will do so within a week or two. council-
woman Massaro indicated she would like to have the City Engineer
.available when the Item concerning Isles of Tamarac comes on the
Agenda.
Councilman Zemel said that information had been given to Mr. Keating
several months ago, and it had been discussed a number of times with
the City Manager and there has been four or five memos on the subject.
Mr. Keating said the City Engineer has no police powers, Councilman
Zemel said he was referring to the compiling of a list of the locations
of complaints. Mr. Keating said he had looked at a list that morning
and there were twenty complaints. Some had been marked as not valid,
others were left open so Mr. Keating could not make a determination
as to whether it had been taken care of. He stated he would get after
these matters and get them completed. Councilwoman Massaro said that
there have been problems getting the Isles of Tamarac to move forward
with the punch list, and that is why she is reluctant to give any
further authority until such time as they have done the work.
Vice Mayor Disraelly inquired of Mr. Keating if there would be no
driveways cut when the work in Westwood III was being done. Mr.
Keating said he did not think there would be any, there possibly might
be one.

right turn lane, wall to be 10'
from property line; extruded curbing the
length of property; 5' concrete sidewalk;
appropriate beautification. Also, appropriate
bond and fees to be paid for turn lane curbing.
Barry Eden, developer of Woodmont Plaza, indicated he had had a request
from abutting property owners at Academy Hills requesting that instead
of putting the wall on the property line, it be moved in 15 feet so
that his neighbors will have the additional property in their back yard
rather than having it face the parking lot in back. Councilwoman
Massaro told Mr. Eden he will still have to put in trees in that area,
Mr. Eden agreed that whatever the Site Plan shows will be done, and on
the other side of the wall he will sod and plant trees. Councilwoman
Massaro said the trees would have to be on the parking area side of
the wall. She pointed out his commercial property has to have beauti-
fication. Mr. Eden said that has already been approved, the only
question is where the wall will go. Councilwoman Massaro said when
the location of the wall is changed, the beautification will be changed.
Mr. Eden agreed to do whatever Council wishes. He said whatever is re-
quired will be put in and whatever the City wants or the owners want
will be put in.
Councilwoman Massaro commented it is nice to give the residents the
green area, but she felt there should be at Least ten feet between
the wheel stops and the wall.
Richard Rubin, Consultant Planner, explained the distance from the
north property line to the edge of the asphalt is 20'. Mr. Eden's
-23- 9/23/81 lc
drawing shows that the six-foot high wall will be placed half way
into the 20', so therefore it is still 10' to the edge of the pavement.
Councilwoman Massaro said the wall should be in the middle of the 20'
so there will be 10' of grass on the commercial side and 10' of grass
on the residents'side, and that the trees be planted on the commercial
side, since the intent is to beautify the commercial side.
Vice Mayor Disraelly said there should be trees on the residents'
side also, Councilwoman Massaro said they are concerned with the
commercial side being beautified. The residents have the privilege
of beautifying their side and maintaining it.
The City Planner requested that the Site Plan reflect the right-hand
turn lane is not proposed, but is being constructed and that the fees
and bonds be paid to the City of Tamarac and not to Broward County.
Vice Mayor Disraelly suggested that the word "proposed" be deleted
with reference to the new right -turn lane, showing that it will be a
right -turn lane. Mr. Eden discussed the fees and bonds being paid to
the City. He explained he had agreed to taut _ extruded curbs in the
median area on McNab Road. However, he said he personally thought if
HLR is not going to do the same, it will be a dangerous situation with
curbing on one side and not the other. Councilwoman Massaro said the
agreement with Mr.Eden had been made a long time ago, and he should
stay with the agreement and H.L.R. will be looked into separately.
The City Planner stated the applicant was requested to submit the
revised Site Plan, he has worked with the City and complied with all
requests and Staff recommends approval of the revised Site Plan so
they build a second story mezzanine,
Vice Mayor Disraelly MOVED that the Woodmont Plaza revised Site Plan
be APPROVED with the deletion of the word "proposed".at the new
right -turn lane and that the wall be permitted ten feet from the
property line; the trees that were specified in the Beautification
Plan all to be placed in the area south of the wall between the wall
and the parking lot. Also, there will be extruded curbing the length
of the property and there will be a five-foot concrete sidewalk. Also,
appropriate Bond and fees shall be paid to the City for appropriate
turn lane and curbing.
Councilwoman Massaro SECONDED the MOTION.

to check culverts to make certain
City is dealing with clean lines so
ultimate capacity is utilized. Sec. 7
to be checked, also Wellens area east
of 441.to be checked by City Engineer.
Councilman Zemel indicated he had discussed with the City Manager and
City Engineer the fact that there is a small area in Section 24 that
still has flooding. The area is located on 100th Terrace and runs to
100th Avenue to 102nd Terrace. He has asked the City Engineer to look
into it and the City Manager has directed the City Engineer to look
into the matter to determine what has to be done so it can be proposed
to Council to see what can be done.
Councilwoman Massaro said she would like to see two areas looked after.
One is in the area of Wellens property east of 441 and also in Section
7, after the lines are cleaned, it will be determined if there is a
serious problem there. She noted whenever there is rain, the northern
part of Section 7 is under water. The people at the north end of the
Section become isolated since there is only one way in and out of the
Section. Councilwoman Massaro commented that the City Engineer had
said he could not make the determination until such time as the lines
had been properly cleaned. Councilwoman Massaro requested that the
work in Section 7 be completed first because of its serious nature.
-24- 9/23/81 /lc
Councilman Zemel pointed out any corrections should be made before
the next rainy season.
Mayor Falck asked the City Manager about the Boulevards Section, and
noted that he is directing a memo to Council as it relates to 26th
Terrace. He said he is particularly concerned as it relates to the
easement that the people have agreed to which will send drainage
water from 72 homes, and he had inspected the area the previous
Sunday and the water was bubbling up all over the area. The City
Manager explained the lines had been checked and were clear, but
the amount of rain was considerable in a short period of time.
Mayor Falck stated that the City Manager of Oakland Park has requested
action be taken promptly to vacate 26th Terrace, and they will protect
that area. Councilwoman Massaro said she would strongly urge that
the City Manager be instructed to have the City Engineer go in and
clean out the lines to make sure the City is dealing with clean
culverts, so that the ultimate capacity is being utilized. Ms.
Stuurmans agreed to provide Larry Keating, City Engineer, with a
copy of Mayor Falck's memorandum on the subject.

to determine problems and
progress of punch list.
-- Discussion and possible
Councilwoman Massaro stated she understood from Mr. Keating that
they have not done anything with the catch basins at the present
time, but are just correcting work around the catch basins. There-
fore it did not appear the actual drainage work is being done.
Mr. Gary Glusman, developer, said that the only problem with
the catch basins was the aprons. Councilwoman Massaro commented
that there have been reports of considerable drainage problems. Mr
Glusman replied that there are no considerable drainage problems in
that area, there could be a few select customers that may say they
have some ponding, but the drainage work is good. If a situation
arises, they generally go back to do whatever they can to help the
situation. He said the ground is hard and very low percolation and
it is difficult to have 100% run-off. However, the catch basin
problem was the cracked aprons.
Councilwoman Massaro said that inspections are needed to determine
what the problems are and to make a firm determination as to what
needs to be done and she suggested that be done before any further
action is taken on the Project. Mr. Glusman said if anyone had
requested him to come in to discuss the problem he would have been
happy to do so. Councilwoman Massaro referred to the Punch list,
she said that is Mr. Glusman's responsibility and the work must be
done.
Councilwoman Massaro MOVED that the item be TABLED until such time
as any member of Council has had an opportunity to check with the
City Engineer, after he has looked into the matter, to determine
exactly what the problems are and what part of the punch list is
completed.
Councilman Zemel SECONDED the MOTION.
VOTE: ALL 'VOTED AYE.
Councilwoman Massaro suggested that Mr. Glusman get in touch with
Mr. Keating and get the punch list cleaned up.
Mr. Glusman stated that he felt to have the matter tabled with no
prior discussion when he came in -previously, was difficult to under-
stand. Councilwoman Massaro told Mr. Glusman when she had heard that
he did nothing with the punch list in all that time she did not feel
very sympathetic. She said she had no objection to his plans once
he does the things that are required.
Mayor Falck said that he has no objection to the project, however
when there are other matters pertaining to the project the Council
must take this action is order to make sure whatever needs to be
done is done. Mr. Glusman said the work is in progress.

City Manager Stuurmans suggested discussing Mr. Keating's memorandum
TAPE of September 10 and the .duly 14 proposal from Williams, Hatfield &
# 8 Stoner -on design and general administration of the covering the project.
Councilman Zemel said they should first find out if they are going to
build the tank. Ms. Stuurmans replied the tank has to be built.
Councilman Zemel commented that the location was pre-set at the
last meeting by the Vice Mayor's Motion, and Councilman Zemel said
he had assumed that would be a temporary location till they could
look into it and see where the location actually should be.
Councilman Kravitz said Item #20 will bring up the location of the
Storage Tank, and there is a change contemplated according to the
City Planner covering the same property, and he suggested continuing
with Council Reports and go into #20, they will be covering #3 at
the same time.
Mayor Falck said the discussions as they relate to Item #20and Item #3

Councilman Kravitz thanked the Mayor and Council and the City Manager
for the cooperation the Committee has had for all of the new residents.
He said that the people who were in attendance seemed to be very
pleased and as liaison and an honorary member of the Committee, he
stated that he is pleased and hopes that in the future they can
continue in that vein and improve as much as possible. Councilman
Kravitz asked that Council, or anyone who would help with suggestions,
will be appreciated. Also, he commented that he is elated that the
Chamber of Commerce is not only involved, but the President of the
Chamber has been elected by Council to serve as a member of the
Welcoming Committee.
Councilwoman Massaro - Commented concerning the growth of plants and
s ru s etween t e curbs and sidewalks and suggested the City Engineer
might want to look into the matter. Also, Councilwoman Massaro ques-
tioned whether the City should request the County to do something
about the growth.
Marjorie Kelch, representing Mainlands 1 & 2 told Council that the
crossing by Sunshine Plaza opposite Mainlands Drive has planting in
the median where it curves at the main entrance and a person crossing
the street can not see approaching traffic. Mrs. Kelch stated that
the residents of Mainlands 1 & 2 would like to have the trees removed.
from that location.
Mayor Falck commented the plantings in the medians at the present time
are not what the City approved when the beautification plans were
submitted. He said that low-level planting was specified, and
what is presently in that median is not doing the job that was desired
at the time the Council agreed to the beautification for that area.
Vice Mayor Disraeli - Reported that on October lst the Broward
Delegation is holding a meeting and is asking for suggestions from
the Cities. With the permission of Council, the Vice Mayor said he
would like to attend that meeting and appeal once again for the
annexation of the two pieces of property that had been previously
discussed. Council agreed that the Vice Mayor should attend the
Meeting.and make another appeal for the annexation of those pieces
of property.
Mayor Falck - Discussed a communication that he had sent to Council

Mayor Falck announced that Item #20 -the
and Item #3 - the Remote Storage Tank are
same time.
Recreation Facilities
being taken up at the
The City Planner explained at the previous Council Meeting the
Council saw the plan which he placed on the Board. He noted it
is a large site and can be well utilized by the City. The question
had arisen concerning the final location of the water tank in order
to be able to finalize the location of the other facilities. At
that time it was suggested there might be a better location on the
site for the water tank. Mr. Rubin displayed a rough sketch to show
a separate location.
Mr. Rubin explained that the water tanktakes up approximately two
acres and because of its circular shape the most feasible location
is the southwest corner. He said this is desirable because it can
have bleachers for the baseball field placed along side of it and
recreational housing or snack bars, lockers, etc. to shield the
tank from the park. The plan also shows the park can still be utilized,
there can be an additional basket ball court and two additional handball
courts. The adjacent land owner, F&R Builders, looked at the plan and
commented there is a problem that the tank will be shielding some of
his buildings from potential view of the park. The City Planner said
Mr. Riefs is present at the meeting to work with Council to help find
the best site for the water tank. Mr. Riefs also has indicated
he has other sites that might be suitable for both uses.
The City Planner asked Council if they wished to discuss the specific
location before them, or would they wish to set up a Committee to
discuss the matter of a potential site with�F & R Builders.
Councilman Kravitz indicated he did not know if it is necessary to
suggest that a Committee be appointed, unless Council feels it has
merit. He said they should first hear what is in store, and why a
Committee would even be necessary. At the present time, Councilman
Kravitz said, he was opposed to any Committee and felt they should
proceed with ..the plan before them.
Councilwoman Massaro stated that she was opposed to any Committee
and felt if F & R has any suggestions they should be made by them.
She noted that Mr. Riefs had made a suggestion previously which was
unacceptable because the area is surrounded by water, and would not
be a desirable place for the recreation parcel.
Councilman Kravitz said he had spent quite a bit of time on the
matter, as liaison to Recreation and Parks. He discussed the length
of time the subject has been postponed and he said that Council has
finally reached a point where there is a plan and they should certainly
go ahead and take whatever action Council sees fit.
Vice Mayor Disraelly asked the Consulting Engineer what the height
of the water tank on Oakland Park Blvd. is, Mr. Nolan estimated it
was 32'. Councilman Disraelly commented that he had passed that
tank, and there are trees in front of it and it unobtrusive.
Councilman Zemel suggested if there is any possibility of moving
the tank out of the corner temporarily voted,on, it be given considera-
tion. Councilman Kravitz said the sketch shows the location as an-
other corner. Councilman Zemel said if they would work towards a
plan where the tank would be in an area such as the rough sketch
before them, they could proceed to make a decision on the tank and
on the recreation facility.
Marty Reifs, Project Coordinator for F & R Builders said he recognized
the time that had been put in on the park and the location of the water
tank, however he said the location of the tank where it abuts the F&R
property only came to his attention that day. He said he would like
an extension of time so his company can review the matter. Mr. Reifs
indicated there are some alternatives which would include a "land swap"
of another piece of land which would not be pie -shaped, which would be
in the same tract. Also, he said they would offer . assistance in
site planning the park, if given approval for the land swap. Mr.
Reifs described the location of the parcel which he said would be off
the main arterial road. Also,there is a 12" main running through the
street.at the location he proposed.

9/23/81 /lc
Councilwoman Massaro asked the Consulting Engineer what the proposal
would mean to the City engineering -wise. Mr. Nolan said he could
not answer that question. He said they had analyzed four sites and
the most critical part of their determination was the acceptability
of the site represented by the drawing concerned off --site work and
there was no line work involved. Mr. Nolan said off -site costs of
another site would have to be analyzed, and he pointed out the
critical thing is to get water to the southern area and the tank is
to help now with early development and ultimately fire protection
for areas such as Land Section 7.
Councilwoman Massaro indicated if another site was considered, there
would be a question whether or not F & R wanted to assume liability.
for the cost of analyzing the site, since Council has already made
a judgment.
Mayor Falck inquired if Mr. Reifs was suggesting exchanging one whole
area for another, Mr. Reifs said he was, and the amount involved is
20.6 acres as far as the present park site is concerned, and there
are additional items which he would like to have considered. Mr.
Reifs said he felt to place the storage tank at the location being
considered would be a significant devaluation of the property which
abuts the proposed tank, making it difficult to site plan and to
sell units which would view that tank. Mr. Reifs said he thought
the first location which was submitted would be better than the one
before Council at the present time. The City Planner ekplained the
site where the tank was first to be located on 77th Street and Nob
Hill and described the surrounding areas. Mayor Falck asked Mr. Rubin
what the plus and minuses would be with relation to the two sites.
Mr. Rubin said the two locations are on tract 27. Site 1 can be
adequately landscaped and the tank can be shielded with architectural
treatment. The only potential negative aspect is driving along 100th
Avenue from north or south the tank will be visible from half a mile
away. Mr. Rubin said from a planning standpoint he felt F & R can
design the housing to the west to look away from it and it will not
be a detriment to future homes in the area, they will be designed
facing west.
Mr. Rubin discussed Site 2. He said the plus is that it is
completely shielded and located away from the roadway system. He
said the homes could be designed to look toward the water on the east,
and the homes can be moved to the north and west. If the tank is
there, it can be landscaped and the buildings can be placed so they
are not looking on to the tank. There would be additional cost for
running the lines to Site 2. Councilman Zemel said he is not
concerned with costs, he is concerned with people.
Vice Mayor Disraelly asked what effect as far as fire and otherwise
would result for going into the other corner on the plan that has
been presented by Mr. Rubin. Mr. Nolan said the lines would have to
be built to connect with proper distribution system, but they are
not talking off -site costs. That is,improvementswithin the site
are less expensive than improvements in rights of way. Mr.
Nolan said the same problems exist with any site. With regard
to the location at 77th Street and 100th Avenue, from a construction
standpoint, Mr. Nolan said there is far less pipe involved to tie
to the mains at the first location discussed: Mr. Reifs inquired
as to the engineering costs of finding out if the site he proposed
is suitable. Mr. Nolan said probably a couple of hours of the
Engineer's time and an hour or more computer time. Probably $200.
Mr. Reifs said they would pay that $200. to determine whether that
Tract 30 is suitable for a land swap for the site of the storage tank.
Mr. Rubin commented that even if they did exchange the land, the
problem of location of the tank on the new site would be almost
identical to the present problems. Councilwoman Massaro suggested
that F & R offer the City the whole site instead of cutting it off.
Mr. Riefs replied that the whole site is 36 acres.
Vice Mayor Disraelly inquired if they are interested in Tract 27 and
the determination was to be if the tank should be in the lower left
or upper right corner, the location of the soccer fields would be
roughly the same. The location of the tennis courts also the same.
-29-
/9/23/81 /lc
J
Vase Mayor Disraelly inquired if they could reconsider locating the
soccer fields now so that they can go ahead with that phase, and the
tennis courts, and worry about the location of the water tower in
the next month or so. Mr. Rubin replied that he would go back to
plan 1 and use that location and that way if the tank goes to the west
there is room for it, or otherwise the handball courts and other
facilities. Only feet are involved, and the soccer field could be
started. Mr. Riefs said he would like to review a situation where
a swap could be considered for just the storage tank itself, which
would not require twenty acres. That would be a third alternative
which would have to be reviewed by the Consultant Engineers.
Mr. Riefs said he would request that Council not make a decision in
reference to the site of the tank at the present meeting because
of the alternatives that have been discussed.
Councilwoman Massaro saia. that she l'?P, nnnnser, to mnzri_na fnT-ward
with anything until such time as the question is resolved. She said
she saw nothing wrong with reviewing Mr. Rief's suggestions, however
those proposals could have been made previously. Mayor Falck agreed,
he said he would like to see in 1 - 2 - 3 order what the different
proposals are.
Mr. Riefs commented that the last he knew about the matter was the vote
Council had taken locating the storage tank at 77th Street and 100th
Avenue. He had just learned that a revision of the site plan indicated
the storage tank was located in another section. Mayor Falck inquired
if Mr. Reifs said he did not have too much problem with the first
proposal, Mr. Riefs said if Mr. Nolan said that Tract 30 was not feasible
for the storage tank, and if making a swap just for the storage tank
is not feasible, then he would submit that the location should be back
where it was originally, with proper landscaping.
Mayor Falck said F & R should come in with all proposals so Council
can consider what they have today and what will be presented. There
is no other way an intelligent decision that is right for everyone
can be made. Mr. Rubin suggested all information be finalized before
Council meets so Staff can make recommendations and finalize all plans
so.Council will :have a package to decide on before the Meeting.
Mr. Bob Washburn, Soccer Club, stated that he believes that the Park
would be an asset to the developer no matter where the park is placed,
as an attraction to sell homes and that type of thing. Mr. Washburn
commented on that basis the developer will be planning to actually
improve the land and put in housing within the next four to six
months. Further, Mr. Washburn said since Council is going; to listen
to suggestions from the developer, perhaps the developer might have
some ideas since they have facilities for heavy equipment, grading and
that type of thing. How they might be able to assist the City in
proceeding with the park, they have more expertise in that sort of
thing than the City has. Councilwoman Massaro noted she has suggested
the developer tell the City what else they are going to do besides
asking for a swap:.
Mr. Hirsch, resident, questioned the location of the soccer fields.
Councilwoman Massaro told him they would be at 100th Avenue and 77th
Street. Mr. Hirsch commented there are no families or children in
that area and there is no reason to put a park there. He questioned
why the soccer field could not be placed where the children live.
Councilwoman Massaro replied they must place it where the City has
land. Mr. Hirsch questioned that, he said the City could swap land
with someone. He discussed the inconvenience for the senior citizens
with the traffic that will be created between the supermarkets on
both ends, and it will not be good for the children on bikes to go
to the soccer field. Mr. Hirsch said the important thing to relocate
is the soccer field. He also questioned why the water tank was not
being placed in the area behind Don Carter's Lanes as originally
planned. Councilwoman Massaro pointed out that the Consultant Engineer
matte the decision... that is the place for it because of what it will do
for the area. Mr. Hirsch said all that would be necessary is to put
extra pipes in for water, and it will still draw the water from behind
Don Carters where it was originally supposed to be.
