MARILYN BERTHOLF City Clerk MB/tz I CALL TO ORDER: CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING CITY COUNCIL & PLANNING COMMISSION LENNAR CORPORATION January 28th, 1980 PRESENT: Mayor W. Falck Vice -Mayor H. Massaro C/M I. Disraelly C/W M. Kelch ABSENT ABSENT & EXCUSED: ALSO PRESENT: Comm. E. Beutner Comm. H. Weisenberg Comm. Carl Alper (Alt.) C/M H. Wiener Comm. M. Schoenfeld Comm. L. Becker Comm. M. Meyers Ass't City Manager, Laura Z. Stuurmans City Attorney, Arthur M. Birken For the City Clerk, Merrill Carparotta Mayor Falck advised that the purpose of the Joint Workshop was for discussion of the various proposals of the Lennar Corporation. Julian Bryan represented the Lennar Corporation, and indicated the acquisition of certain tracts in Land Sections 5 and 6, that were formerly Leadership Housing. He introduced Mr.Seraphin Liel, Director of Land Planning and Design for Lennar, Mr. Charles Jacobson, Director of Community Development and Mr. Marty Riefs, member of Community Development Department. Mr. Jacobson referred to displays which represent various markets in the United States which the Lennar Corporation is presently engaged in and/or has completed. He exhibited picture slides and discussed the different programs and the way of life in the proposed new community for Tamarac. Mr. Bryan displayed a map and discussed the possibility of acquiring a major club facility in the geographic center of the tracts and then place satellite -facilities on the large tracts that surround it. He further added, they are contemplating a mini -satellite facility which would have a meeting room and some other recreation. Commissioner Weisenberg questioned the density in the area and whether any drainage problems in the area would be handled by the company. Commissioner Beutner commented on his concern with the traffic situation and questioned the intentions of having streets enlarged. He said, he would like to see open area. Commissioner Alper discussed the increasing needs for energy and the increasing demands to conserve fuel. He said, the builder and City Planners must concern themselves with the possibility of Solar Heating and energy saving devices. He further discussed and suggested various way and means of maintaining the City of Tamarac. Mr. Julian Bryan referred to the Lennar Corporation Land Use Map. He discussed land sectiors 5 and 6 and parcels K, L and M. (K, L and M were originally planned to be subsequent phases of Lime Bay which were never built upon for a variety of reasons). Recently, in past years, the Broward .County Land Use Plan and the City Land Use Plan down zoned those tracts to a maximum of ten (10) units per acre. Lennar will be proposing bringing these tracts in first and then voluntarily restrict by legal. and forceable document a maximum density of ten (10) units per acre on these parcels. REASONS: These tracts are not in Land Section 4, 5 and 6. Therefore, they will not need a developers agreement. They will not have many of the considerations for utilities that would exist in sections 4, 5 and 6. 1/28/80 /mc J L�J Mr. Bryan said the Lennar Corporation owns Tracts 33, 9 and the eastern 6.1 acres of tract 13. All other tracts owned by the Lennar Corporation are: 3, 13A, 14A, 14B, 14C, 15A, 15B, 16,18, 23, 24, a portion of 27, 29, 30, 34 and 39. Land Section 8, tracts K, L and M total approximately 380 acres. He further added, tract 9 is in the alignment of the proposed Sawgrass Parkway. It would encompass the existing road at the west end of Section 6, go from there to the east, and use a portion of all the tracts on the west side of the city. A 14.1 acre tract is the portion of all tract 27 given to the City of Tamarac by Leadership Housing in 1976 as part of the escrow agreement. This is the Northern 1/3 and the property line runs N.W. to S.E. The City has a portion of 27 and 28, rezoned to S-1. He discussed and displayed areas on the Land Use Map. Leadership Housing still owns tracts 35, 12, 17, 2 and 4, 36,37, 41, 42 and 43. He showed the 20 acre site, the S-1 parcel which was given to the city. It is within the geographic center of the undeveloped area north of McNab and south of Southgate. Biscayne Engineering, Carnahan and Associates and Mid -South Engineering have been consulted to work on the property. Lennar Corporation has computed the linear feet of shore line around all the parcels and divided that figure into the total acre footage of retention required. That figure shows that every waterway and canal be enlarged 27 to 28 feet. All the information to use in Land planning has been cataloged. There are not extensive facilities for storm drainage, only catch basins. We know any development of the parcels will require the necessary drainage system. Vice -Mayor Massaro asked if the engineers decided if the drain lines were adequate. Julian Bryan said "No they are not". The lines will have to be replaced. The major roads will carry about 20,000 vehicles a day. The intersection of Commercial Blvd. and State Road 7 is being rebuilt. McNab and South- gate will take some of the traffic off Commercial Blvd. He also said additional buses are needed in the community. A development standard is necessary for all site plans. The total community services are to be under the property owners association. A set of standards and requirements would be established. Mr. Jacobson, Director of Community Development, said permanent supervision would not be forced on the community's people. They could form some plan of their own. In response to a question by Ben Eigner, Chief Building Official, Mr. Bryan responded, emergency vehicles move in and out. A maximum of 5,149 units could be constructed on the property. Extra revenue will be generated by this development and the city will be able to hire extra personnel. Ben Eigner asked if there was a possibility that Lennar donate a site for a satellite police, fire and paramedic system. Mr. Bryan said it will be taken into consideration. C/W Kelch asked if the building style would be three stories. Mr. Bryan answered "yes" although there may be parts with two (2) stories. Mayor Falck said at discussions in Coconut Creek, a suggestion was made about the possibility of water conservation. Water will be a major problem in years to come. Mr. Bryan thanked everyone for attending. Mayor Falck said legal documentation is to be discussed with the City Attorney, Mr. Birken. MEETING ADJOURNED.
