trellises, future unit room additions, relocation of south
perimeter fence and new right -turn lane on McNab Road.
(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

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".

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.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

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.

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.

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.
