SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: AGENDIZED BY CONSENT (See page C/M Disraelly MOVED to AGENDIZE BY CONSENT, the Agreement of McNab Road Construction with Broward County, and C/M Zemel SECONDED. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 1. City of Tamarac - Comprehensive Plan SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted Temp. Ordinance No. 786 with changes as amended, first reading. Evan Cross, the City Planner, advised that this was the first of two Public Hearings, which were scheduled for the adoption of the Six Required Elements of the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan. He said this involved Utility, Housing, Traffic Circulation, Open --Space Recreation, Inter -Governmental Coordination, and the Conservation Elements. He said that it also involved Temp. Ord. #786, which addresses the adoption of these elements, on first reading. Mr. Cross stated that these elements, in conjunction with the previously certified, approved and adopted Land Use Element, would provide the total requirements under the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975. He further stated that the Planning Commission was ap- pointed as the Local Planning Agency, by the City Council, pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act. Mr. Cross said that it is their duty to review all the elements of the LGCP Act. He addi- tionally stated that the elements were reviewed by Staff, and prepared, with a Public Hearing having been held in February, 1980, at which time authorization was given to mail this to the various review agencies. The reviews were returned, he said, with an opportunity to respond to objections and comments. Fie said that five objections were given by the State; which were answered, and have been included in the revisions which are under consideration this evening. No adverse reaction has been received from the review agencies, he said, at this time. He did note that the elements, in the latest form,have been reviewed by the City Attorney, Mayor Falck and himself, and are in conformity with the Act, meeting most of the City's requirements. -1- 7/15/80 mr/ Mr. Birken read a requirement in the State Statute, Section 163.3177 (3); "The economic assumptions on which the Plan is based and any amendments thereto shall be analyzed and set out as part of the Plan. Those elements of the Comprehensive Plan requiring the expenditure of public funds capital improvements shall carry fiscal proposals re- lating thereto, including, but not limited to, estimated cost, priority ranking relative to other proposed capital expenditures and proposed funding sources." He felt that Council might consider, at some future period of time, as to an optional element for economics for the entire plan, setting forth financial criteria and aspects,with costs listed, for completion of items. C/M Disraelly inquired whether Economic Assumptions and Capital Expen- ditures should be indicated in the areas of Utility, Parks, Open --Space, and the other elements, to which Mr. Birken responded that those factors should be considered at some point in time, and should ideally be in- cluded into one element, Mr. Birken felt there should be statements on priorities, and how they will be paid; with an example of drainage in Section 7, and the manner in which it is paid;with inclusion in the Utility or Economic element. Mayor Falck did not disagree with the City Attorney, but suggested previously that the required elements be limited, without getting in- volved in the options. But, he said, there is always an alternative to pursue any or all the optional elements. He was interested in having the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan, with the required elements, ap- proved; with optional elements being discussed thereafter. The Mayor added that the work was accomplished in February of 1980, with approval by the Broward County Planning Council, the State, and South Florida Regional Planning Council, with recommendations -for consideration by the City Council. Comm. Becker recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan, in its Present form; also, meeting the approval of Comm. Meyers. The City Attorney read Temp. Ord.#786-by title. Evan Cross advised that Mr. Wohlfarth of Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, and Mr. Pinder was representing Mid -South Engineering for Walt Keller, the Director of Planning, who is on vacation. Utility Element - Richard Wohlfarth discussed this element, and described the six sections which are involved; general, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage aril electrical peer. Mr. Cross felt that these items have been,reviewed periodically, and can be viewed in the City Clerk's office, where they are on file. He added that only those items that require comments should be reviewed, which would save time, and be most beneficial for everyone. Mr. Wohlfarth said that as of ,Tune lst, a few items were added, at the request of the City and the Planning Council, and Planning Depart- ments of the State, which are additions to the original element that was viewed in February. C/M Disraelly inquired whether Caporella Park was included in the com- putations for Tamarac - East; as to the number of dwelling units, acres of commercial recreation, industry, and so forth, to which Mr.Wohlfarth stated that he could not be sure at this time. C/M Disraelly referred to page 7 of the Planandpage 19. He also noted that 15 acres:of rec- reation was included with Caporella Park. Mr. Cross added, that on page 16, the Implementation Policy Section, should have a capital "C". C/M. Disrael-1-Y iaquix-ed-as . to _ a.. sub -heading on page-1_4-, which wQ.ul.d in- --Treatment.

C/M Disraelly also referenced page 14, by stating that the top table indicated five wells being required for the year 2000, which should state an additional capacity of 3,000,000, rather than 1,800,000, to which Mr. Wohlfarth said that he would review this, because it may be -2_ 7/15/80 mr/ a typographical error. Also, C/M Disraelly inquired whether reference should be made, on page 22, as to new TV and grouting apparatus, in the handling of infiltration. Mr. Wohlfarth said that it could be added when the element is written, because the truck was not in use at the time; but, felt that it would not be advantageous to add it presently. V/M Massaro stated that it has become a matter of record, and would require changes. Mayor Falck suggested that adding something of substance should be handled through an amendment, at the proper time, to which Mr. Birken indicated that particular items should be .included as relates to the Airport, prior to second reading, which would be involved in other elements. The City Attorney said that the refiling process is not necessary, and they have the right to make the changes, especially if it will enhance particular sections. C/M Disraelly discussed page 29, the eighth line has the word "available" misspelled; also, in the long range services of Southern Sanitation site, there has been no mention about the gas methane plant, that is being attempted to put into operation. Mr. Wohlfarth said that something was added about Southern Sanitation's land -fill, but felt that it did not concern this particular utility �lemen� �C/M Disraelly mentioned that the Mayor wrote an inter -office memo regarding newspaper collection in an endeavor to reduce the amount of land fill by some 10,000 tons. It was decided to strike out "should have" before prior to on Page 29. Mr. Carl Alper discussed the inadequacy of potable water and the delicacy of the acquifer. He said Tamarac should combine with other cities to protect the acquifer and to increase the holding capacity. The Mayor mentioned that the Clean Water Program No. 208 is under- way and he had received an initial report just this week. Emil Beutner, Chairman of the Planning Commission discussed Page 31 and said that the Mean Sea Level is 10.0 feet with Rick verifying this figure. It was also established that the minimum floor elevation is 12 feet. Evan Cross pointed out that on Page 35, Figure #9 % shows the existing and future signalization on Traffic Circulation; also indicated to show change in that Pine Island has been completed and to remove this. Arthur Birken said to Mr. Pinder that Tamarac is a 2.1 member family, whereas Coral Springs and Sunrise are 3.8 member families. He also mentioned that Tamarac's household income is $14,000.00 and compared Coral Springs figure, which is $24,000.00 Mr. Birken said that on Page 23, the last paragraph, 8% of 1975 figure is shown and the rojected figure of $9,395.00 and he feels that the projection as/twat year should be indicated. Evan Cross, referring to Page 25, said that with people moving up the Florida Coast, Tamarac will meet housing needs of all types.
