(a) Agendized by Consent - Discussion and Possible Action concerning feasibility of sea walls. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved -Subject to conditions. 'a Requirement for seawalls _._-waived. Mr. Greg Darby is representing this item at this time. Mr. Darby said he has worked with the City Attorney to prepare the necessary agreements. C/W Massaro asked if Mr. Darby brought in the survey of this property. He said he did and gave it to Mr. Keating, City Engineer. Fie said the City Engineer has come up with an extension of the present seawall 20' into the property to prevent any erosion and to make a proper endwall section where the seawall will terminate in the subject property. The banks will slope down to the water line wnicn will be along the property line. Vice Mayor Disraelly pointed out that the canal would be wider at one point (21') the banks will be sodded from the edgewater out. Mayor Falck questioned the maintenance. The City Attorney introduced Mr. Zeiher who is the attorney for Lake Colony and said he will be given power of attorney for Lake Colony. Mr. Zeiher agreed that the .Lake should and will be added to the covenant. C/W Massaro asked what is being requested for maintenance of this area? She stressed the importance of the maintenance of the lake and the canal in front of their property so that the city will not be responsible for the growth that accumulates. Councilwoman Massaro asked Mr. Keating, City Engineer if he was satisfied with the plan of the seawall extension. Mr. :eating said he was. C/W Plassaro asked Mr. Darby about the retention area. Mr. Darby said he can attach a copy of the plat. ....... ..... . C._W.Ilassaro next asked about the recreation parcel. Mr. Rubin said (1) the Council has definitely determined that 1287sq.ft. must be enclosed air conditioned space for assembly area, (2) when the Council approves a site plan, after the site plan has been approved, before a building permit is issued, the developer must always come in - 1 - 10/20/81 /pm 1 and bring in -.,structural and architectural plans accor_dinq_..to the..._.. South Florida Building Code. On the site plan, Mr. Darby has located the outer extremities of the roof area for the rec area. But,Mr.Rubin said, C/W Massaro pointed out, at this time the developer must redesign the building based upon Council's approval. The Planner said the redesign of the recreation building must go before City Council again if it does not comply with the overall roof area shown on the site plan. C/W Massaro asked mainly about the setback dimensions. It was determined that 10' from the waters edge must be maintained by the owners. Vice Mayor Disraelly said there is also a 20' easement for maintenance that must be taken care of. Mr. zftlher, said they are willing to take responsibility ........... . for this maintenance. --- I3e said they would prefer to incorporate these covenants cL-' maintenance in their declaration currently being drafted. C/W Massaro questioned Attorney Birken as to whether it would not be better, even though the covenant is incorporated into the declaration, to have a separate covenant -on file. Mr. Birken answered that this will show up in the records anyway. Mr. Zeiher explained that what the covenant says, in essence is that "this is a covenant that runs with the land which cannot be amended without approval from the city". Even if the project terminated this would still remain. The City Attorney stressed the need for a time limitation. Six months was agreed upon to be acceptable time. Mr. Birken suggested that Council grant whatever approval is possible today_ and the covenant be approved subject to language being worked out. anda- copy being furnished to Council members before anyone would be asked to sign on behalf of the City. If there are any problems they can be brought up at a Council meeting. _Cuunci.l iiiuicated concurrence with the Attor_ne"'s suggestion. Vice Mayor Disraelly said on the site plan he would like the area of 1287 sq.ft. to be "enclosed, walled area"so that there is no misunder- standing,for assembly purposes. Mr. Nat _.S.colnick,Vice President of.Tamarac, Section- 16, spoke next. _ He said he lives on the east side of the canal.n the Lake Colony Project. He has been a property owner since 1970. His concern is that the property is being graded from the property line down into the canal and 20' of this property that belongs to the Tamarac taxpayers is being taken. Ile said that he and his fellow neighbors were concerned as to why this canal has been closed down. C/W Massaro said that the ordinance requiring the width of the canal is definitely 801. She asked Mr. Darby if this property has been excavated to the property line. He answered that the property line will be the edge of the water. She also asked if the developer is taking away any of the waterway along there? Mr. Darby answered that the 80' will remain from the edge of water to the existing bulkhead on the east side of the canal. The slope of the 20' is being taken up on their property. C/W Massaro said that as far as under the water, the developer will have to give information to the City Engineer to determine that the slope is proper and they are going to give the City a covenant which will require them to maintain that waters edge into the water 101. She said there are lawn mowers that they can put into the water so that this overgrowth shall not happen. She further said that it is important for the City to keep all of the retention that it can get. This bank does create additional retention for the city, and this was anticipated to help with the drainage problems. Although seawalls appeal to some people, others do not like them. C/W Massaro read from the code; "no future canal shall have a width between faces of wall of less than 80'.Where no seawall is required, the future canal shall have a minimum width of 80' as measured as the design water elevation". - 2 - 10/20/81 /pm C/W Massaro MOVED the APPROVAL of the revised site plan subject to the red markings and that the recreation building have a minimum of 1287 square feet in the assembly area and that be enclosed, walled, and roofed. It is also subject to a covenant which requires the owners to be responsible for 10' of waterway adjacent to their property, to keep it free and clear of any growth. The banks are to be fully sodded and the new seawall at the north end of the property and the excavation of the area within the canal running east and west at the north end of the property so that the property line and the water line shall be the same. Also, subject to the proper data being furnished to the Engineer to determine that the excavation below the water line is according to code. Attorney Sirken suggested adding to the MOTION: "The covenant shall be in such form that it is approved by the City Attorney after copies are circulated to members of Council and that the covenant be held in escrow by the City Attorney until the declaration of Covenant for the entire condominium is prepared and that declaration would incorporate the terms of this covenant or a period of six months from today; whichever is later. Also, the covenant is being given in consideration of the waiver of the seawall and the proper city officials are authorized to execute the .covenant"._ _SECONDED by Vice Mayor Disraelly.

C/W Massaro pointed out the plans Council had before them showed the relocation of the water storage tank from 100 Ave. and 77 St. to the center of the 28 acre tract now under con- sideration. C/W Massaro explained that there is a minimum of 30' of landscaping area at any point, some instances more, so as to not make it too obvious from either street. She indicated the locations of the parking place, restrooms and snack bars, handball courts and baseball fields were located in the proper place and seemed to be the best solution to everything. 10/20/81 cb -1- U V/M Disraelly stated that the two most important items to him were the soccer fields and the .location of the storage tank. He further stated that the two (2) soccer fields should be parallel to each other and not at an angle and the stands are there so people can view them. He was particularly concerned about the parking lot in the Northwest corner and brought up the fact that parents and children would have to walk 400' from the parking lot to the soccer field and suggested the parking be more centralized. V/M Disraelly stated that Council should go ahead and get one (1) soccer field built at this location including a temporary parking lot as quickly as possible. C/W Massaro said the location of the storage tank has been approved by both the consulting engineer and the City engineer and asked Mr. Birken if Council would have to rescind the motion that was passed previously. Mr. Birken replied that when location is changed and work is to be performed, he advised Council to rescind the prior action. C/W Massaro MOVED that the action taken previously on the location of the water storage tank,which was specifically indicated would go on the corner of 100 Ave. and 77 St. be rescinded. C/M Zemel SECONDED the Motion. C/M Zemel had no objection to the placement of the water storage tank which is 20' in height and which will be sunk 5' into the ground at the base and bermed and landscaped and completely out of view. Mayor Falck also was in favor of the location of the storage tank and the concept of the fields. Harold 'Newman., resident of Westwood Section 23,.s.tated that the original location of the storage tank was supposed to be built off the C-14 canal; near Don Carter's bowling lanes. He asked Council why the location was changed to Tract 27 and in response C/M Zemel said the consulting engineers recommended the change because it would be .._--*practical and extremely costly. C/W Massaro explained the reason why the location of the storage tank was changed was from the standpoint of the health of the people. She also indicated this is a chlorination tank and right now the City is wasting a tremendous amount of water because it is necessary to flow that water through the pipes in order to keep fresh water in there to kill the bacteria that would form. C/W Massaro further indicated that as the water stands in there it evaporates the chlorine that is put in there to protect the public's health and by putting the tank in a proper location will take care of it. _ Mr. Newmar-asked what determines that this is the best place and why couldn't this tank be placed further west. C/W Massaro explained that the farther the water has to run the longer the water stands there and the less effective the chlorine is. V/M Disraelly explained that Tract 46 (Woodmont) was the worst location in accordance with the consulting engineers and. Tract 27 was the most central location for all the developments in the West. A1P4.n St.evenr resident of Section 22, asked what the height of the tank is, what the capacity is,and how is it supported. V/M Disraelly, in response,said the intent is to sink the tank 5' into the ground and berm another 8' above that and the pressure will be mechanically actuated and the tank will hold 2 million gallons. `2- 10/20/81 cb/ L J L__ I Irvingliirsch, resident of Section 24, asked Council why the tank could not be placed on Southgate Blvd. and C/W Massaro replied there is an easement for F.P.L. and the City is not permitted to put in a permanent structure. Mr. -Hirsch expres-sed a concern about the distance of the soccer fields in relation to children and parents traveling. Arnold Kaplan, resident of Section 23, said he also felt the recreational facilities and soccer fields were too far and z.9kpe9 if there wasn't a closer place to where the children live. Jimmy Shiles, Tamarac Soccer Board Member, stated there were 1700 school -aged children in Tamarac and from -:where the majority of them live to the tip of the soccer field is .3 miles. He appealed to the senior citizens and the young people to try to compromise and get along. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. C/W Massaro MOVED that the approximate location indicated on the plan be approved and that the City authorize the City Manager, upon her return, to request a bid form be prepared from our consulting and city engineers on the cost of preparing a complete engineering plan for the installation of the water tank at the 100 Ave. and 77 St site; that is, simply for a cost of preparing the plans. V/M Disraelly SECONDED the Motion. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. V/M Disraelly MOVED that Council approve the approximate location of this soccer field and that permission be granted to the Tamarac Soccer League to proceed with the grading and preparation of this field at this approximate location. There was NO SECOND to the Motion. C/W Massaro suggested that a motion be moved to accept a preliminary land use plan for the recreation parcel and instruct the City Manager to prepare a bid package after consulting with the City engineers for the installation of one (1) soccer field upon her return. V/M.Disraelly MOVED to have City Manager instruct the City Engineer prepare specifications so that the City can go out to bid, or in-house, with the assistance of the Tamarac Soccer League to proceed with the West soccer field at the approximate location indicated on the sketch(1.0/20./81) as soon as possible. C/W Massaro SECONDED the Motion. James Holland, F & R Builders, brought up the fact that on the plan one of the soccer fields end line is approximately 25' from the driveway of 77 St. C/W Massaro stated this will be taken into consideration when the City Engineer, City Planner and Soccer Association meet.
