Municipal Bonds for March Election - Discussion and possible action on: d) Site analysis study on City -owned property on the northeast corner of Commercial Boulevard and NW 88 Avenue. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Authorized Miller & Meier to make a study for the complex as it might be located on Commercial Boulevard. Mr. Henning said he asked Richard Rubin to give Council a comparison of what work has already been done for site analysis on the Commercial Boulevard site concerning the City Hall Complex and the question of the comparison between the 88th Ave. site in which inil"ier & meier did a programming study. Much of the programming wort- entails a study of the premises and the study of the City as to what the needs will be in the future. They went a step further and analyzed and gave site plans and proposals for the 88th Ave. site. He said the Mayor has asked for determinations of what work has already been done on Commercial Blvd. site analysis and whether or not the City would want to hire or a.dd the additional work to Miller & Meier. The fee quoted was $2,400 to do this job. Richard Rubin said in researching Mr. Hartley's original design, he found 2 sets of drawings that were prepared around 1974 for the site at 57th St. and 88th Ave. He said, conceptually, one drawing shows the entire complex essentially in one building, that is, the City Hall Complex, the Police Department and the Fire Department. He said he brought along another drawing that shows the site broken into 3 separate buildings creating a quadrangle between them. He said, essentially, both plans were similar in size. The one story building shows a City Hall area of 14,000 square feet, with another 10,000 square feet potentially added on, for a total of 24,750 square feet. He said Miller & Meier's proposal shows that today, the minimum required is 25,000 square feet with another 8,000 square feet required for future expansion or a total of 36,000 square feet. The total area Miller & Meier proposed to utilize for a City Hall and Police Department consisted of 56,000 square feet. Mr. Rubin said Mr. Hartley's maximum projections for the City Hall and Police together is 41,750 square feet, therefore, Miller & Meier's plans today reflect that the City Hall needed today would be 25% larger than Mr. Hartley's plan contemplated in 1974. Mr. Henning said if the building had been built before today, the City would have had to build out the additional areas planned and, according to the Miller & Meier program, the build out for this Hartley plan is still 15,000 square feet short of what is needed today. Mr. Rubin said the full build out shown on the drawing, which he displayed on the board for Council, is a total of 41,750 square feet. Miller & Meier's proposal, included in the report submitted a few months ago, shows that immediately there is a need for 40,300 square feet and by the time the City reaches its maximum size, the City Hall complex should be 56,000 square feet. C/M Kravitz asked if there were a year projected and Mr. Rubin said he feels it would be by the year 2010 to the year 2020. V/M Massaro said she does not agree and they would be fortunate if there is anything left after 15 years. Mr. Rubin said the numbers he just read were a composite of the Police and City Hall facilities together, removing the Fire Station and Public Works facility because they were not part of the study. He said this size facility could be placed at either location but he has not studied how. Mr. Henning said they have not addressed the number of stories in the buildings and that might make a difference. Mr. Rubin said the site plan for the 88th Ave. location shows three buildings, a City Hall, Community Center and Police Station; however, they do not show elevations. 2 - 1/30/84 /pm Mr. Henning said he changed the 72 hour stipulation to 48 hours at the suggestion of C/M Stelzer. He said the Charter provides that Resolutions and Ordinances require 3 affirmative votes to pass but does not address Motions. He said this Resolution stated that a Motion could pass 2 votes if only 3 Council members were present. He said he took this out and added that 3 affirmative votes of Council were needed to pass a Motion. Ray Munitz, resident, said he would recommend it be made clear that no action may be necessary on any supplementary agendized items because the people do not have an opportunity to speak or to be aware of the details involved. V/M Massaro said she objects to that because they have only been agendizing items because they Tape are important and need to be acted on. C/M Kravitz said he 2 objected to acting on agendized by consent items because the public has the right to know unless they are of an emergency nature. Mayor Falck said there are times when things must be put on the agenda by consent and discussion without action is a waste of time. V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE this Item for a full Council, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. ►11i n ALL VOTED AYE 22. Sodding of Canal Banks - Temp. Ord. #1080 - Discussion and pos- sible action to amend 24-34 of the Code pertaining to canal banks sodding bonds and inspections. Second Reading. (Public Hearing held 1/3/84) (Tabled from 1/25/84). SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED on second and final reading as further amended. ORDINANCE NO. 0-84-,_PASSED. Mr. Henning read the Ordinance by title and V/M Massaro said this was amended on first reading. She said the Building Official, the City Engineer and she had extensive discussions on this and they agree that this will provide the protection the City is seeking in getting the proper slopes and grading. She MOVED APPROVAL of Temp_. Ord. #1080 as amended on second and final reading, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. Mr. Henning said the sod does not have to be on the premises but must be installed immediately and if not installed within 24 hours, they would have to call for another inspection. He said this also removes the requirement of the bond but it does still require a certificate of occupancy. He said he would recommend on the third line of the title, the language after the word "inspection", "and the posting of a bond" be stricken. V/M Massaro referred to Page 1, Line 9, the word "bonding" should be stricken and she amended her MOTION to state APPROVAL as further amended, and C/M Stelzer agreed. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 23. Circular Drives - Temp. Ord. #1076 - Discussion and possible action to amend Section 6-13 a of the Code pertaining to the width of circular drives in residential districts. First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED for further consideration. Mr. Henning read the Ordinance by title and said there have been 20-foot steet cuts in the past as a limitation on road cuts for driveways. He said to avoid a parking problem, many residents put in a circular driveway. However, he said, if a residence has a two car garage or car port that has a double wide driveway which is 20 feet, this precludes the second curb cut that is needed for the circular drive. He said this Ordinance would allow an additional 10 feet of curb cut so that a circular driveway could be installed in a home that has a two car driveway. He said this Ordinance stipulates that there still should not be a violation of the 40% of the front yard with a curb cut. - 4 - 1/30/84 /pm Mr. Henning said the site on Commercial Blvd. is approximately 4 acres smaller than the site on 88th Ave. and the Hartley plan indicates a one story building that does not meet the needs of the City. He said the square footage does fit on the Commercial Blvd. site but it would necessitate a second story at least for the Police Dept. as well as the City Hall. He said there is a parking question and Miller & Meier is prepared to give the City the site analysis to show how the necessary square footage could be put on Commercial Blvd. and what the traffic pattern would be. He said they are concerned about the traffic at that location since they need access for Police emergency vehicles to leave the area safely and quickly. V/M Massaro said access must be on Commercial Blvd. because there is no way the County will approve a light on 57th and 88th Ave. Mr. Henning said this would be the direction that would be given to Miller & Meier to prepare a site analysis with the Commercial Blvd. site in mind. C/M Stelzer said since this question is on the ballot for March, the Council should be prepared to know which site is feasible. V/M Massaro asked if it were necessary to spend more money since this report will not be on the ballot and Mayor Falck said it has to be studied. Mr. Rubin said the parking on that site is almost identical to the parking request required by Miller & Meier in their report with a difference of only 19 spaces. He said Miller & Meier's overall program could fit on this site for the Police facility and City Hall complex with the parking. C/M Stelzer asked where the Public Works facility would then be located and Mr. Rubin said this would have to be studied. C/M Kravitz asked the City Attorney if there is enough time between now and the March 13th election to change the site recommendation if the study showed it was not feasible. Mr. Henning said the ballot is fixed but Miller & Meier could get this to Council within 2 weeks. C/M Kravitz said the ballot would remain as is but the question would be how much information would be available to the people so that they can make an informed choice. V/M Massaro MOVED to authorize Miller & Meier to make a study for the complex as it might be located on Commercial Blvd. for information for the public. This would be a site analysis including traffic patterns and the cost would not exceed $2,400, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 18. Preparation of Cit Council A endas - Temp. Reso. #2990 - Discussion and possible action to amend the procedures^ regarding preparation and consideration of items appearing on any regular agenda of the City Council. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED for a full Council. Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and C/M Stelzer said it was brought to Council's attention several weeks ago that they were not conforming to the original procedures set in Resolution#78-80 with respect to items agendized by consent. He said as determined in #78--80, any items agendized by consent are not supposed to be acted on but for the past several years Council has been acting on anything agendized by consent. He said he suggested a change on the time of receiving the documents from 72 hours to 48 hours in Subsection 2 e) of Page 3, Line 3. He said on Page 2, Line 19, the word "Thursday" should be stricken. C/M Stelzer suggested a change on Line 21, wherever the word "Workshop" appears it should state "Pre -Agenda Workshop". V/M Massaro said this has nothing to do with the Charter but is simply changing a Resolution that exists. Mr. Henning referred to Temp. Reso. #2990, Page 7, stating that Council'.s choice would be Lines 2 and 3 or Lines 4, 5 and 6 or other language they might want. He said in reviewing this Resolution, he noticed that the Regular Council. Meetings were to be held at 10:00 A.M. and there could be a provision that they be held at 9:30 A.M. and changed if needed. - 3 - 1/30/84 /pm Mayor Falck asked if this would permit a situation with a circular drive in the front and a drive on the side and Mr. Henning said he thinks the intention is to be per street front. He said if it were a corner house it is conceivable there could be 30 feet on the front street and 30 feet on the side street. Mayor Falck said this should be considered further at the second reading because this is where the problems have come from. V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE this Item for further consideration, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 31. Woodmont Tract 68/77 - Cypress at Woodmont - Discussion and possible action on: a) Calling of a warranty bond posted for public improvements - Temp. Reso. #2986 SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: DENIED Temp. Reso. #2986 and APPROVED extension of the bond to 3/25/84, Mr. Henning read the Resolution by title and V/M Massaro referred to a letter dated 1/26/84 to the Assistant City Engineer which states that the bond has been extended to 3/25/84. She MOVED that the extension be granted to 3/25/84, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE V/M Massaro MOVED the DENIAL of Temp. Reso. #2986, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 42. Land Section 7 - Report by City Planner. Discussion and possible action. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION_: Authorized advertising of the Land Use Plan Amendment for public hearing by the Planning Commission. Richard Rubin said staff is looking to Council for authorization to initiate the public hearing for the Land Use Plan Amendment to Land Section 7. He displayed 2 drawings on the board and said the first drawing shows the current land uses for Land Section 7 and several things need to be changed, including the school and park sites. He said while reviewing the area, the Planning Commission discovered several things, the original plan that was before Council several months ago visioned the design in a triangular shape. After many public meetings with the residents in the area, the Planning Commission said that the total north half would stay residential and the south half would be divided into 3 categories, office park along the Saw Grass Expressway and Commercial Blvd., storage distribution along Nob Hill Rd. with access primarily off the new Hiatus Rd. coming into the subdivision, and a little piece of commercial designation at the corner. V/M Massaro said this plan has been discussed with the residents of that area and it appears to be something they can live with. Mr. Rubin said the owners of the property have only been involved to the extent that they have been notified by letter that the City has studied the land uses and they were invited to give their comments. He said in speaking with the owner of the parcel that is located north and west of this, it was noted that they have contracted to sell their property and they have been involved in a deposition where both sides were looking toward the property for industrial purposes. Ray Munitz, resident, said he feels the residents of the entire City would be in favor of this plan. V/M Massaro said the owners of the property should be invited to give their approval of this. She said she is concerned about the possibility of litigation. - 5 - 1/30/84 /pm Mr. Rubin said the owners were contacted and they indicated that they wanted the maximum use of their land. C/M Stelzer asked what the traffic flow going into the employment section would be and Mr. Rubin said this will be primarily from Commercial Blvd., there will be no exit from this road north to McNab Rd. and the residential traffic will come through McNab Rd. He said the north end total area is 206 acres with 1,526 dwelling units already assigned to this section. All those units will be placed in the north end and they will not be asking for one extra unit from Broward County. The density in the north will be 7.4 dwelling units per acre, taking overall acres and dividing it to how many units have been allocated to that site. V/M Massaro MOVED to authorize the advertising for the Land Use Plan amendment for a public hearing before the Planning Commission, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 43. Draina e Im rovements in the City - Discussion and possible action. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: No discussion. There was no discussion by Council. IT:= 44. City Council Reports - C/M Stelzer - No report. C/M Krantz - Absent C/M Kravitz No report. V/M Mas,s_aro said the traffic light, installations at various places are moving forward. She has received several requests for action on Woodlands Blvd. and Commercial Blvd. as well. Mayor Falck said there is a problem that exists at the railroad crossing at I-95 and Commercial Blvd. He contacted the County and his main concern is that the County not pay for more work because it has not been satisfactory up until now. He said he communicated his feelings to the County Commission, the County DOT and the State DOT. He said on 1/23/84 he attended a joint meeting of the County Commission, the Broward League of Cities and the Board of Rules and Appeals and there was extensive discussion about what could be done to improve the people who have been appointed to some of these positions. He said he is requesting the League reinstitute the program of bringing in the people that were appointed so that they can be evaluated. He said they had the Pension Plan evaluation last week and he sent Council his observations of that report. He said he thought it was excellent and the actuaries commented spec- ifically on a number of things, especially comments relating to the Investment Program that was developed by our Finance Department and the administrative board of the Plan, which was approved by Council. He said the City has 2 parcels of land off Prospect Rd. adjacent to the Calvary Baptist Church and the school and they are trying to get rezoning from Institutional to Industrial. At the County Commission meeting, the County agreed that the City's proposal to designate that as Office Park rather than Industrial was proper. He said he requested an Economic Impact Study since the property of those people in that area could depreciate. There will be a final hearing on this and he will notify the President of the Section to have a delegation down there to support him when he makes a presen- tation against Industrial zoning. - 6 - 1/30/84 /pm 45. City Manager Report - No report. Tape 46. City Attorney Re ort - 3 Mr. Henning said today at 3:00 P.M. there is a meeting of the Broward Delegation at the Fort Lauderdale City Hall regarding the Lauderdale Lakes proposal for annexation of an Office Park. He said this is basically an unadvertised meeting where the delegation will have a Workshop Meeting to determine if they want to move forward with the formal proceedings for annex- ation. If they agree to move forward, in February they will have a formal advertised meeting with hearings and the owners of the property will have an opportunity to be heard. The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 A.M.
