17. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
