Engineering/Utilities
27. MOTION TO ADOPT Temp. Ord. #1540 on first reading to amend Chapter 10 of the Code to
clarify the bonding for alternatives to positive outlet drainage system, to clarify affected land section
numbers under minimum drainage requirements, and to correct scrivener's error under
"Bulkheads; Design Standards".
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED on first reading. Second reading and Public Hearing will be held on April 10, 1991 at 7:30 p.m.
City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1540 by title.
C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1540, SECONDED by
V/M Bender.
Bob Foy, Director of Engineering/Utilities, said the proposed changes to the City Code, Chapter 10, relating
to drainage are required to remedy three problems. He said the existing Code does not specify the amount
of the bond to be posted for positive drainage if the developer cannot provide on-site drainage. He said if
the developer posts a bond, the City must expect that this bond will run for years; therefore, to solve this
problem, Staff recommends that the City access a cash bond rather than a piece of paper.
Mr. Foy said the amount of the bond is changing to be 150% of the certified estimated cost of the project.
He said the extra 50% is an accepted number to cover contingencies and inflation.
Mr. Foy said the second item is that the South Florida Building Code has determined that Land Section 7 is in
the L-36 drainage canal basin. He said Land Section 7 cannot tie into the City's system that is in the
C-14 drainage canal. He said the proposed change to the Code would not allow people in Land Section 7 or
in the C-13 drainage area to purchase retention from the City.
Mr. Foy said the third problem is that the Code allows a land surveyor to design bulkheads. He said a land
surveyor is not qualified to design bulkheads and it was probably a scribners error when placed in the Code.
He suggested this be changed to a Licensed Professional Engineer of the State of Florida. He said all of
these changes are necessary and Staff recommends approval.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that this is a serious problem regarding Land Section 7 having retainage
rights.
Mr. Foy said Land Section 7 must comply with the South Florida Water Management District and Broward
County requirements as well as the City's requirements. He said the City's requirements state that Land
Section 7 has the option to buy retention from the City but South Florida Water Management and Broward
County will not recognize this. He said Land Section 7 is not in the appropriate drainage area which the City
has the retention to sell.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this will be a problem for development in the future.
Mr. Foy said the situation will be this way whether or not the City passed this Ordinance because the South
Florida Water Management District will have their requirements.
C/M Katz asked if they would be required to install a tertiary plant.
Mr. Foy said this is storm water drainage and there will be a canal system that will drain into the L-36
drainage basin that is controlled by the South Florida Water Management District.
C/M Schumann asked if the request is for a cash bond in lieu of corporate surety and Mr. Foy said, yes.
C/M Schumann asked if there have been any problems with corporate surety and Mr. Foy said there have
been problems in the past such as no assets.
City Attorney Ruf said he had recommended the cash bond because these are long term bonds and the City
retains them for a long period of time.
C/M Schumann asked if this cash bond would be held in an escrow account and City Attorney Ruf said it is
held in a separate escrow account by the Finance Department.
C/M Schumann asked how many developers are going to be able to post cash bonds and City Attorney Ruf
said in all of the years that the City has had this bonding system, there are only two or three developers in
the entire City that have ever used it and there will not be many in the future.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City Council has been rather strict on the requirements of the developer. He
said he feels this is a good move for the City.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - Any member of the public may speak to any issue which is not
agendized for public hearing at this meeting. Speakers will be limited to three minutes during this item
and at public hearings. There will be a thirty (30) minute aggregate time limit for this item, and
speakers are encouraged to sign up in advance with the City Clerk prior to their participation.
Nathan Peretzman, resident, welcomed the new Council members. He said he feels the makeup of the new
Council will be a government for the people of Tamarac. He said he feels the Council will find waste,
inefficiency and mismanagement in researching the ambulance contracts. He said this new Council has the
power to direct the City Manager and other parties to submit a financial report to the taxpayers of Tamarac
as to how the money was spent for the ambulance service. He said the fact that Tamarac refuses to keep
bookkeeping records of a budget item is suspicious. He said the ambulance contracts are a community
service that involves public firms. He said these contracts were made so that all Tamarac residents would
receive "911" emergency transportation to the hospital without cost to the resident.
Mr. Peretzman said his problems with the former Councils were regarding why the Council, Mayor, and City
Manager refuse to report actual figures to the residents and taxpayers as to monthly trips, total cost of
monthly trips, total monthly receipt from Medicare and private insurance. He said the ambulance contracts
between the City and Medics Ambulance Service are as follows:
Original Contract approved December 10, 1986.
Options approved November 12, 1987 and September 28, 1988.
Total dollar value.............................$277,000.00
Contract approved September 27, 1989 for two years with a
total of $200,000.00 at $100,000.00 per year.
Mr. Peretzman said as of September 30, 1991, Tamarac will have given Medics Ambulance Service
$477,000.00 without keeping records showing how this money was spent. He requested Council have an
audit done on the franchise agreements to make sure the City is getting its fair share.
City Manager Kelly presented the records received from Medics Ambulance Service and Broward County on
all of the runs made by Medics Ambulance Service that are required by Broward County which pays the
money directly to them. He said these are the monthly logs that are required by the contracts sent to Fire
Chief Ray Briant who monitors them by the County's EMS Service which monitors them. He said the
computer runs the records and the indications of the services to whom they are provided, when there is a
call, when there is a pick up, and when there is not a pickup. He said these records do indicate that it is
being handled properly. He said the recent transmissions are being sent to the Internal Auditor who, at
present, is handling the cable franchise agreements, and these will be reviewed to assure the residents that
there has not been any waste, any mismanagement at all in regard to handling this project.
City Manager Kelly said Mr. Peretzman has had access to the records over the years and has created an
inordinant amount of time for Staff and Council in addressing his concerns. He said these records are
available to anyone who would want to review them.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City has absolutely no control of who has the contract. He said Broward County
tells the City that this sector is handled by Medics Ambulance Service. He said last year the City was close to
removing Medics Ambulance Service until the rates were reduced. He said he has heard about this for three
years and he has held workshop and special meetings to discuss this situation. He said this is a program that
the City of Tamarac offers to the citizens because of the charges the Ambulance Service charges prior to
transport, even in an emergency situation. He said the City spends $104,000.00 of taxpayers money to
provide to the citizens of the City emergency coverage. He said this is not a limousine service. He said he
feels these complaints are not factual.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels bad if Mr. Peretzman has a problem with the ambulance service. He said
Coconut Creek is contemplating an ambulance service and they would be handled by Mid-Atlantic
Ambulance Service. He said Coconut Creek has approximately 1/3 of the population that Tamarac does,
which is paying approximately 30%. He said Coconut Creek is going to pay a minimum of $90,000.00 a year
for this service. He said these complaints are unfounded and anyone at any time has the right to review
these records.
C/W Glasser said she would like to know what Mr. Peretzman's actual complaint is. Mayor Abramowitz
asked Mr. Peretzman to make an appointment with C/W Glasser to discuss his problem.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said in the October, 1990 issue of the
Tam-A-Gram, the Mayor said, "The will of the people must and will be respected at all times". She said she
feels this has not been true in the past five years referring to the budget. She said the people amended the
Charter in 1979 making it mandatory that the budget be adopted by Ordinance in accordance with Chapter
166 of the State Statute; however, in 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990, Council refused to respect the will of the
people and have adopted the budget illegally by Resolution, not by Law.
Ms. Reynolds said the people voted for a revised Charter in 1976 which consisted of five appointed
Committees and in 1986, two additional Boards were added by the people, but the will of the people was
again disregarded. She said all of these Boards, Committees and Commission were destroyed and all were
changed without the vote or the will of the people in 1987. She said in order to have legitimate, legal
members on legitimate, legal Committees, those Ordinances that were voted on by the people in 1976 and
1986 must again be the Ordinances used to appoint members to Committees. She said the Charter is the
law of the people and cannot be changed except by the will and the vote of the people.
Terry Hobmeier, resident, said it would help if there was a cement guard block on the dead end corner of
McNab Road and NW 108 Terrace to prevent dumping only allowing Public Works and BSO access. She said
the dead end sign on McNab Road and Nob Hill Road should be larger to prevent drivers from making U-
turns when they see there is no access to the Sawgrass Expressway. She said she has given all of the
necessary evidence to the BSO regarding property on the north side of McNab Road to NW 108 Terrace in
apprehending trespassers who are doing illegal things on the property. She said the fence has been down
three times. She said she feels a wooden barracade would be the solution to this problem.
Ms. Hobmeier said she feels that if this City and other cities would join forces and have the Broward County
Commissioners ask Tallahassee to work on a proposal that all condo and homeowners would pay their fair
share of taxes, there would be no need for extra taxes and all of the cities in the State of Florida would
survive. She said many condos do not pay any or very little taxes in Broward County.
C/M Katz said he has spoke to City Manager Kelly regarding the fence being down. He said there were four
people responsible for the maintenance of the fence who will be notified of their responsibility to re-erect
the fence.
Ms. Hobmeier said there is one character who has a big wheeled truck who knocks this fence back down
immediately after it is re-erected. She said she only sees the fresh tracks when driving by.
Mayor Abramowitz requested a license plate number be accessed on any violator in this area by any citizen
which would aid the BSO to put a stop to this.
Anthony Grimaldi, resident of Sunflower Heathgate, said the residents have been paying for one year for
single family home recycling. He said the residents have been promised through this entire year that it
would be put on the taxes of the condo owners as well. He said the residents have been promised
containers for the use of the recyclable goods. He said he does not feel that it has helped the residents in
the recycling effort. He said he feels this in unfair.
Mayor Abramowitz said there was to be a Special Council meeting held regarding recycling at which time
the City was to sign the contract with Waste Management to accomplish exactly this. He said he will fight to
not sign the contract with Waste Management. He said he feels the contract is a detriment to the City, but
there is no place else. He said City Manager Kelly has a meeting with the Five City Task Force regarding the
contract. He said the citizens of Broward County spent 585 million dollars building two incinerators and four
months before completion, Waste Management bought the controlling interest of Wheelabrator who owns
the incinerators. He said Waste Management bought Durbin Paper. He said the cities have a contract
presented by Waste Management and that contract is not what the cities need. He said he is going to
recommend to Council not to sign that contract.
Mayor Abramowitz said the containers are being stored in Lauderhill but cannot be released until the
contract is signed. He said he feels the portions of the contract that are not agreeable can be renegotiated.
He said Tamarac's rates are lower than all of the surrounding cities. He said the tipping fees will be raised in
June, 1991 from $38 to $62. He said he has requested statistics from Waste Management many times and
they say they go by routes, not by City. He said they own the only dump.
Mr. Grimaldi said the City should break away and get its own truck and disposal and maybe Waste
Management will come to better terms.
Marv Seidel, resident of Kings Point, said he empathizes with the people on 71 Street and Nob Hill Road. He
said whenever it rains, the people on the west side of 71 Street a large collection of water. He said he
understands the City does not have the money; however, he requested that when there is money available,
Council would consider doing something for those residents to relieve them of the water backing up.
TAPE 2
Joe Schreiber, resident of Kings Point, said he feels it is incumbent upon the Council to contact the Federal
Government to do an investigation to determine if there is a violation of the Sherman Anti-trust Act by
Waste Management as to when a company buys out everything and eliminates competition. He said the
records show that Waste Management has been fined on numerous occasions throughout the United States
and in many areas.
Mr. Schreiber said he read an article in the newspaper regarding the City of Sunrise entering into their
recycling program with condominiums. He asked what Tamarac is doing about the limbo state it is in.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City of Tamarac has been so successful in its Recycling Task Force that the
United States Government has used Assistant City Manager Dina McDermott's Recycling Task Force as a role
model. He said Tamarac is in concert with four other cities because there is strength in numbers. He said
everything is on hold until the new proposed contract is signed. He said Tamarac and Wilton Manors were
the only two cities who voted against the contract with Waste Management on recycling. He said he feels
this contract will be signed; however, the current stipulations are not beneficial to the City or the City's tax
base. He said the Law does not allow anybody but the City Managers to be on the Negotiating Committee.
He said if there is any way to control what is happening with Waste Management, it will be found.
Mr. Schreiber asked if there are any records of how much money Medics Ambulance Service has received
from the patients that they transported to the hospital every year.
City Manager Kelly said it usually takes six months after the close out of the year to begin to make that
determination because they recover funds from several sources.
Mr. Schreiber said there is a clause in the City's contract with Medics Ambulance Service that states that
every dollar over $145,000 is to be split equally between them and the City and the City has never received
any money. He said he feels that Fire Chief Ray Briant is not qualified to audit the books of this company.
He said he feels it is incumbent upon the City to have a professional auditor review these records to be sure
everything is being handled properly.
C/M Katz said he feels that the minority stockholders of Waste Management own other corporations which
do business in the City and, if something is to be accomplished, it may have to be done in a way to affect
them on the financial end.
Herbert Hayes, resident, made a statement regarding other aspects on the Medics Ambulance Service. (See

12. b. City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1523 by title.
Kelly Carpenter, Director of Community Development, said Council has adopted the City's Land Use Plan in
conformance with State Statutes Chapter 163 and with the Broward County Charter. She said the Broward
County Land Use Plan, to which the City is subject, requires that the City's Land Use Plan be in conformance
with the County's Plan and subsequent to that is that the City's zoning districts be in conformance with the
City's Land Use Plan. She said Items 12 through 22 are clean-up items where the City is doing separate
actions to bring the City's zoning districts into conformance with the City's Land Use Plan. She said these
items consist of areas that have been incorrectly zoned for 25 years, areas in which properties are zone
categories that no longer exist, and areas which have been annexed and still have County zoning and the
attempt is to bring them into City zoning categories.
Ms. Carpenter said the applicant is the City of Tamarac, Petition
#2-Z-91. She said to process an application in which the City is an applicant, the Staff goes to the Planning
Commission and requests this in order to be in compliance with the City and County Land Use Plan. She
said the Planning Commission authorizes Staff to proceed with the legal advertising and to process the case
by a Motion.
Ms. Carpenter said this is an application to rezone from R-1 to B-3 acreage in Section 17.49.42, bounded by
Commercial Boulevard on the north, Parcel F, Tamarac Lakes South to the east, Lot 2 Block 26 of Tamarac
Lake South to the south and Northwest 25 Terrace to the west. She said the parcel is approximately 9,000
square feet, 0.2 acres of land. She said the property is zoned R-1C (Single-family) which does not allow
convenience stores. She said a convenience store has existed on the site nearly 20 years at that location.
She said in an effort to serve businesses and allow them to continue to operate in the City and in order to
remain in compliance with the Tamarac Land Use Plan, Staff proposes to rezone this property to B-3.
Ms. Carpenter said some concern had been expressed at the Planning Commission level by residents that
perhaps B-3 is too strong a category. She said the commercial parcel to which this is adjacent is zoned B-3.
She said planning practice tells us that as a rule, that zoning should try to be done in a like fashion to the
surrounding uses. She said Staff proposes to rezone this to B-3 which is a similar use to what is on the
adjoining property. She said it is fully within the Council's purview to consider B-2 or B-1, which would not
harm the convenience store use which is on the property.
Ms. Carpenter said the surrounding uses and zoning are as follows: north-R-1 (Residential), east-B-3
(Commercial), south-R-1 (Residential) and west-R-1 (Residential). She said this rezoning needs to have
commercial flexibility to make it work. She said the Ordinance should include language in it which says the
City is using the 20% flexibility on commercial or the 5% commercial flexibility and it will become effective at
the time the Land Use Plan is certified by Broward County. She said the Planning Commission
recommended approval.
Mayor Abramowitz said Staff has tried very hard to bring many parcels of property within the City into
conformity. He said without the Comprehensive Land Use Plan being approved, the City would not exist.
He commended Ms. Carpenter for a job well done in getting the State of Florida to the point of approval of
the Tamarac Land Use Plan. He said in many instances there were things done improperly and everything
must be in conformity.
C/M Katz said he feels that if the sole purpose from changing this from R-1 to a business district is to bring it
into compliance, that it should be limited to B-1 (Neighborhood Business) which would allow them to
operate a convenience store. He said in the event that someone purchases this property, it will not become
a business center.
Mayor Abramowitz said if the Motion to change this to B-3 is defeated, then something else can be done.
City Attorney Ruf said he would prefer to see a vote on an amendment if there is a Motion to Amend the
Ordinance to B-1.
C/M Schumann asked if this will be conditional upon the certification by Broward County and Ms. Carpenter
said that is correct.
C/M Katz MOVED to AMEND the Ordinance to restrict the zoning to B-1 rather than B-3, SECONDED by C/W
Glasser.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said she agrees with this amendment because Ms. Carpenter said the
surrounding areas are B-3. She said the surrounding zones are not B-3 and R-1 is only six blocks to 31
Avenue. She said she feels it would be more appropriate to be closer to a residential use rather than a
heavy commercial use.
VOTE: C/M Schumann - AYE
C/W Glasser - AYE
V/M Bender - AYE
C/M Katz - AYE
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this would be detrimental to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan or the ability for
development at this location and Ms. Carpenter said, no.
Mayor Abramowitz - AYE
Mayor Abramowitz said a Motion is needed to vote on the amended Ordinance.
C/W Glasser MOVED to APPROVE amended Ordinance #1523, SECONDED by V/M Bender.

Ms. Carpenter said this is an application by the City of Tamarac for a rezoning from M-1 to LI-1 consisting of
8.5 acres, Tamarac Industrial Park, Plat Book 63, Page 26, Lots 1 through 14 in Parcel A. She said the City
happens to own Parcel A, which is the City Parking Lot. She said Lot 5 is the only vacant lot in this group of
rezonings. She said it is located on both sides of NW 22 Avenue, north of NW 23 Street. She said the City
eliminated its M-1 zoning category in 1987, but the properties that were zoned M-1 were not put into a new
category. She said this Ordinance is placing them in the only industrial category which is LI-1.
Ms. Carpenter said the following information will pertain to Items 13 through 22. She said if the property is
developed, the rezoning will affect future additions which will have to meet new setback requirements. She
said if a property is destroyed by an act of God such as a hurricane, fire or something similar, over 75% of its
assessed valuation could be rebuilt back to the new setbacks that are in the Code. She said if the property is
not developed, then this zoning would require the developer to build with the new setbacks.
Ms. Carpenter said the surrounding land uses are as follows: north-transportation, east-transportation,
south-residential and industrial, west-residential and commercial. She said these are in conformity with the
City and County Land Use Plans. She said the Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval. She
said a public meeting was held on this item in February and Staff sent out over 4,000 notices to the
community with very minimal response.

Ms. Carpenter said this is a petition by the City of Tamarac to rezone from M-1 to LI-1 for 1.61 acres of
vacant land known as Golfview Plaza, Plat Book 121, Page 3, Lots 1 and 2, less the parts which are lying in
the City of Fort Lauderdale. She said it is located on the northwest corner of NW 21 Avenue and Prospect
Road. She said the City eliminated the M-1 zoning category in 1987 and this property was never rezoned to
the only remaining industrial category which is LI-1. She said this land is undeveloped; therefore, the
developers will be required to conform to all of the setback requirements in LI-1. She said there is industrial
to the north, residential to the east, open space to the south and to the west. She said Planning
Commission and Staff recommend approval.

TAPE 3
Ms. Carpenter said this is a petition by the City of Tamarac to rezone from County R-1C to City R-1C. She
said the parcel is Woodland Meadows which is vacant and Woodland Greens constituting approximately
14.23 acres north of Commercial Boulevard, west of NW 58 Way. She said these were annexed in 1988 and
the City has been waiting to rezone them. She said the developers will be required to build to the setbacks
for the vacant parcels in City R-1C and the developed properties, if they are destroyed by over 75% of the
assessed value, will be required to be rebuilt using the new setback requirements. She said they can remain
in their existing state as legal non-conforming uses where they invade any setbacks. She said the
surrounding uses are as follows: north-residential and County PUD, east-R-4 (Residential), south-B-1
(Commercial) and west-B-5 (Commercial). She said the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Ms. Carpenter said the most calls received on these residential items were from property owners in the
residential areas concerned where their properties were going from a County zone to a City zone and they
would be legal non-conforming uses because their buildings extended into City setbacks. She said all of
these questions have been answered on a case by case basis. She said Staff recommends approval.
Don Rosenthal, resident, said he was the builder of Woodland Greens. He said he has made numerous
complaints to the Building Department concerning a residence located at 5737 NW 57 Place, which has not
been in conformity with the City or County. He said the people have put two additions to their home
without building permits and had placed their last addition almost completely on the building line. He said
at present, nothing has been done. He asked if the City is going to accept all these non-conforming zoning
regulations that have been passed over by the people in the area or is the City going to handle these
properties that do not conform to County or City building codes where they have been in direct violation for
a period of ten years and a number of complaints have been made.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this complaint has been received by the Department.
Ms. Carpenter said this complaint would have been directed to Code Enforcement and this is the first she
has heard of it. She said she feels that if it was built legally in the County then it comes into the City as a
legal non-conforming use; however, if it was built illegally in the County, the person would have to ask for a
variance to make it legal or that portion that was illegally built would not be a legal non-conforming use.
Mayor Abramowitz said the statement was made that this took place within the period of time where the
City had annexed that particular property. He requested that Mr. Rosenthal meet with Assistant City
Manager Dina McDermott to discuss this situation.
Mr. Rosenthal said in the past there had been a credit which was taken by the City of Tamarac as part of the
expenses which had to be paid for adding the private Water Authority to become part of the City of
Tamarac's Water Authority. He said to the absorbtion of the Water Authority, the City charged all of those
persons who were in the County at that time an additional fee for their water because they were not City of
Tamarac residents; however, no consideration at any time was ever taken for these people who had prior to
that had a credit with the private Water Authority. He said the City used the credit from these people to
purchase the Tamarac Water Authority. He said he feels the City has taken money from these people and
then charged a surcharge to these people for something that was partially theirs.
Mayor Abramowitz said these questions which have been asked need to be answered. He suggested
making an appointment with City Manager Kelly to discuss this matter.
Mr. Rosenfeld said on the change of zone from County to City, there are certain permissable practices which
were allowed by the County and are not allowed by the City, such as keeping a boat on the property of the
homeowner. He asked if the changing of zones from County to City preclude the use of this privelege.
Ms. Carpenter said the boat will need to be enclosed by a fence or a garage. She said it is not permitted to
have a boat free-standing on the side.
Mr. Rosenfeld said when a privelege is taken away from somebody which they have used for a period of
time legally, it is not fair. He said none of the lands being absorbed wish to be part of the City; however,
now that the City has absorbed these areas, the residents would like to retain some of those privileges
which the residents have had in the past. He said he feels it is totally unfair to incur additional expenses on
the residents of Woodland Greens. He requested that the current residents be allowed to maintain their
current living status and if and when their property is sold, then the new owners be required to be in
compliance with the new zoning specifications.
C/M Katz said when these sections are annexed and become part of the City, the City will look for the
dedication of the streets and the utilities to the City. He asked if these sections need to update to the
criteria of the City prior to the City's acceptance of the streets and utilities.
Ms. Carpenter said those questions were answered in the pre-annexation papers that were presented to
Council and to the Legislature and in areas where public streets could be accepted, they were accepted and
in areas where they are private, they have remained private. She said the City's policy has been and is
codified that they have to meet the City's standards prior to being accepted. She said complete records
have been kept and she offered to review these with Council.
Ms. Carpenter said in reference to the boat question, this can be looked at narrowly with respect to the R-
1C zoning or the overall zoning requirements of the City with the understanding that the City does not allow
boat parking anywhere unless it is screened, other than in commercial districts.
C/M Schumann asked if this will invalidate any of the allogations that there were improprieties if this is
passed.
City Attorney Ruf said he does not feel that anything done at present will legitimatize this if it was not
legitimate at the time the building went forward.
Mayor Abramowitz said this will re-enforce the Codes of the City.
C/M Schumann asked the difference between County R-1C and City R-1C.
Mike Vonder Meulen, Senior Planner, said a comparison chart was created of each of the different zoning
categories which was sent to all of the property owners in all of the annexed lands. He said the attempt was
made to find the most appropriate City zoning category with what was permitted in the County categories
and the two R-1C categories are as follows:
Requirements Broward County Tamarac Equal
Density X
Height 35 feet 30 feet (2 story-
(3 story) with lge. roof)
Front Yard Setback 25 feet 20 feet
Side Yard Setback (7-1/2 ft.)
Rear Yard Setback 15 feet 15 ft.(except when
water or canal is
present) then addl.
5 ft.
Plot Coverage 40%
Minimum Plot Width 60 feet
Ms. Carpenter said most of these areas are covered by Homeowners Associations and most have
incorporated the County regulations which were in place at the time of site plan.
Don Rosenthal, resident, said this did not reflect in any way the priveleges that went along with the zoning
which would be regarding his boat along the side of his house. He said with the City's Ordinance being
passed, he would not be permitted to park his boat along side of his house which is why he requested the
Ordinance be passed; however, the current residents be permitted to continue the priveleges currently used
as long as these residents are the original residents of the property and when the property is sold, the new
owners would be under the complete restrictions of the City.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels more information is needed to make a decision on this matter. He
requested this be passed on the first reading then discuss this with the City Manager and Community
Development for further information prior to the second reading.
C/M Katz said the City strives to eliminate selective enforcement of any of the Codes. He said he feels Mr.
Rosenthal is looking for selective enforcement and he would not condone it.
Stacey Byron, resident of Woodland Place, said she has been trying to access a permit to build a screened
room in her back yard; however, the Building Department says she cannot have a permit to do so. She said
her neighbors all around her have a screened room and she said she does not understand this.
Ms. Carpenter said she has spoken to Ms. Byron regarding this situation and the property has been
inspected. She said there are cases in which additions were built on units prior to the time of annexation.
She said if there were additions placed after the annexation, they were not approved as to zoning. She said
either a permit was not accessed or the zoning was not checked. She said in most of the cases which have
been reviewed, the additions were built prior to June, 1988. She said the current County Zoning Ordinances
will not allow these screened rooms. She said she feels this is an example of items that need to be referred
back to Staff for a one-on-one case handling, which is why the 4,000 notices were sent out. She said there
will be hardships present which is why the City needs to change from the County categories to the City
zoning categories.
V/M Bender asked if tabling this item should be considered or can this item be approved on first reading
with the problems clarified.
City Attorney Ruf said he feels Council should approve this on first reading and handle the problems prior to
the second reading.
Mayor Abramowitz said these inconformities are prevelant throughout the City; however, any house that is
not in conformity is not saleable.
City Attorney Ruf said the definition of a structure under the South Florida Building Code may be the
problem. He said a screened room may not be permitted; however, a deck or a patio may be appropriate.

Ms. Carpenter said these two areas were annexed in 1988 and the City is proceeding to do the rezoning.
She said this rezoning will affect future additions which will have to conform to the setback requirements in
the Zoning Code. She said if the property is destroyed by over 75% of the assessed value, they will be
required to be rebuilt using the new setback requirements.
Ms. Carpenter said the surrounding uses are as follows: north-community facility, east-R-4 (Residential),
south-R-4 (Residential) and County PUD, and west-R-4A (Residential). She said the Planning Commission
and Staff are recommending approval of this rezoning.
V/M Bender asked why the Plat Book numbers have been changed and Mr. Vonder Meulen said they were
copied from Redi Maps. He said through research it was found that numbers on the maps were incorrect;
therefore, were changed to the corrected numbers from the County.

Ms. Carpenter said the applicant is the City of Tamarac to rezone from County PUD to City R-3. She said in
the PUD zoning, all rules are set individually, but the City tried to choose the zoning category which was
most comparable. She said City R-3 allows 10 units per acre, a front yard setback of 20 feet, height of 30
feet, side yard setback of 7-1/2 feet, rear setbacks are 15 feet (20 ft. on the water), plot width of 200 feet,
coverage is 35% and a distance separation of 15 feet between buildings.
Ms. Carpenter said this land was annexed in 1988 and the land will remain non-conforming if it does not
meet the City's setback requirements and if the property is destroyed by over 75% of the assessed value,
they will be required to be rebuilt using the new setback requirements. She said this area is all developed.

C/M Katz said the Code allows for a waiver for a maximum height of up to 8 feet. He said he spoke with Ms.
Carpenter who said the existing rear fence is at 6 feet. He said he feels it presents a danger to have barbed
wire at the 6 feet height. He recommended that if the waiver were approved, that there be a maximum of
12 inch barbed wire above a 7 foot fence which does not make it accessable.
Ms. Carpenter asked if C/M Katz wants the owners to increase the height of the rear fence from 6 feet to 7
feet and add the barbed wire on top and C/M Katz said, yes.
Ms. Carpenter said the applicant is in agreement.
C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE the waiver after increasing the height of the fence at the rear of the property

waiver allows at 8 feet in height, SECONDED by V/M Bender.

Mayor Abramowitz said he appointed C/M Irving Katz to that Committee.
Community Development
6. MOTION TO APPROVE a delegation request to waive all development fees associated with
installing (permitting) a sidewalk and retaining wall at 5800 N. University Drive (MAINLANDS CENTER) by
Broward County Engineering Division.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED
C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 6, SECONDED by C/W Glasser.
Ms. Carpenter said the Florida Department of Transportation has approved plans which were prepared by
the Broward County Engineering Division to proceed with the installation of a 5 foot sidewalk and retaining
wall along University Drive, north of NW 58 Street at the Mainlands Center. She said there are five mature
mohoghany trees on the site. She said the City tried to save the trees at that location for the past year to
have the County place the sidewalk in a different location. She said the County is placing the sidewalk as
close to the FDOT standard as possible.
Ms. Carpenter said this delegation request requires the City waive the fees for a revised site plan for revised
schematic engineering for tree removal permits which they granted themselves. She said FDOT has
requested that these fees for the building permit and the owners acceptance of plans be waiverd in order to
put this sidewalk in. She said the Planning Department generally recommends against the waiver of fees
which has been standard policy; however, she does not know what the County's policy has been towards
the City with respect to allowing the City to waive permits.
Ms. Carpenter said Mr. Cassas, owner of the trees has presented a letter requesting that the trees be
donated to the City and the City would be planning to put them in back. She said they are mature
mohoghany trees and the County has agreed to root and prune them and if they live, the City will have
mature mohoghany trees to place on the City property. She said they will also be planting King Palms.
C/M Katz asked what happens if the City does not agree to this waiver of fees.
City Manager Kelly said they must pay the fee or the work will not be done.
C/M Schumann asked if the County will be underwriting the cost and City Manager Kelly said that is what
the fee is for.

Public Works Department
7. a. MOTION TO APPROVE final payment in the amount of $750.00 to Scharf &
Associates, Inc., for basic services for the MULTI- PURPOSE CENTER project.
b. MOTION TO APPROVE partial release of retainage in the amount of $130,595.16 to
Toro Engineering & Construction Corp. for the construction of the MULTI-PURPOSE CENTER
project; a balance of $40,347.57 remains to be paid on this contract.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED 7. a. & b.
7. a. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Item 7.a., SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Mike Couzzo, Director of Public Works, said this is the final payment fee for the architectural engineering
services on the Multi-Purpose Center. He said the final payment is normally brought to Council for
consideration and action. He said the project is complete and all final inspections have been made. He said
there are a few minor contractor items to be resolved but do not pertain to Item 7.a.
City Manager Kelly said on projects that are under $50,000, the final payment goes on the Consent Agenda;
however, when it is over the $50,000, it is presented to Council.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
7. b. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 7.b., SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said this project is substantially complete. He said the major lump sum being recommended for
payment will reduce the retainage to under 10%; however, there is $40,000 that will have to be paid to the
contractor for any remaining items which are very minor.
Mayor Abramowitz said he wants to be sure that there is enough money to pay for any problems that may
come up.
Mr. Couzzo said the facility has been fully inspected by the Building Department. He said the major items
are under warranty and would be covered under the warrany provisions.
C/M Katz recommended that in the event that the size of the retainage be released, if there is no warranty
bond issued for the duration of the warranty, he would like one issued. He said this is a guarantee to the
City that the warranty will be taken care of.
Mr. Couzzo said the City would have to speculate on what might go wrong and cover that under the
warranty and rebond to guarantee the warranty.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if $40,000 will be enough money.
Mr. Couzzo said Mr. Kuhl of Scharf and Associates has sent the recommendation for the release of the
payment.
Gary Kuhl, Vice President of Scharf and Associates, said the contractor has a one year warranty which is
bonded by his bonding company for this project. He said to withhold $40,000 beyond the point that he has
completed this project would be unreasonable.
V/M Bender asked if the City has possession of all the warranty documents and Mr. Couzzo said, yes.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
8. a. MOTION TO APPROVE Change Order #13 to the contract with Caldwell-McKnight
Construction Company in the amount of $1,651.00 to provide power and water rough-ins for
the PUBLIC SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLEX.
b. MOTION TO APPROVE Change Order #14 to the contract with Caldwell-McKnight
Construction Company in the amount of $2,542.00 to install the cable transmission can in
the transformer by FP&L for the PUBLIC SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLEX.
c. MOTION TO APPROVE Change Order #15 to the contract with Caldwell-McKnight
Construction Company in the amount of $2,464.00 to provide a wall separate from the fuel
island canopy to mount the fire alarm pull station and emergency shut-off station
which cannot be located within the roof area for the PUBLIC SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLEX.
d. MOTION TO APPROVE Change Order #16 to the contract with Caldwell-McKnight
Construction Company in the amount of $202.00 to eliminate the wall between offices 162
and 163 as requested by the Engineering/Utilities Department for the PUBLIC
SERVICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLEX.
e. MOTION TO APPROVE payment in the amount of $459.00 to Scharf & Associates for
architectural expenses to cover Change Orders #13, #14, #15 and #16 for the PUBLIC SERVICE
ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLEX.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED 8. a., b., c., d. & e.
8. a. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 8.a., SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said discussion was held in the past regarding the possibility of installing an additional utility
shed in the far west section of the project to accommodate some of the maintenance functions. He said
this would be to provide the conduit and rough-ins to provide water and electricity so that in the future, if it
should be considered, it will be on the site.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
8. b. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 8.b., SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said in the backup there is a letter from the architect which gives a description of Change Order
14. He said it downsizes the electical voltage to the project so that it can be metered. He said it was
originally planned to be done in FP&L's cabinet; however, it cannot be done that way and the City will have
to absorb the cost.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
8. c. C/W Glasser MOVED to APPROVE Item 8.c., SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Mr. Couzzo said this is a required part of this project. He said the project was bid out with a predesigned
fuel island and was changed to a pre-engineered fuel island which is done at the factory and then put in
which saved $17,000 by doing so. He said at the time, Staff was unsure whether the emergency shut off
panels could be located within the pre-engineered area; however, Staff cannot and needs to have an
exterior panel.
C/M Katz said he feels that the administrative decisions made by the Construction Manager at the time
were poor and some of these items could have been done if they were on the original set of specifications
at no cost to the City. He suggested that in the future these situations be taken into consideration.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Sonstruction supervisor, in order to justify his $100,000 fee, took a current
contract and renegotiated it down by removing many portions of the contract. He said as the project was
being done, these removed items had to be readded, which resulted in these Change Orders.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
8. d. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 8.d., SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said this is a request by the Engineering Department that a wall that was in the original plans be
removed so that a more efficient operation can be available. He said there was some mechanical and
electrical work done that had to be revised to accommodate the elimination of the wall resulting in the
$202.00 cost.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
8. e. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Item 8.e., SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Mr. Couzzo said this is to cover the previous Change Orders and in the agreement with the architectural
engineering firm, the contract stipulates that they get a percentage on the Change Orders and this
represents the percentage change.
VOTE: ALL VOTE AYE
9. a. MOTION TO APPROVE the Selection Committee's ranking of the
architectural/engineering firms interviewed in connection with Expression of Interest
#90-1 as follows:
1. Robert Walters Architects
2. Scharf & Associates, Inc.
3. Twenty-First Century Engineering Corporation
b. MOTION TO APPOINT a Negotiating Committee to negotiate a contract for future
Council consideration with the #1 ranked firm or, if required, the #2 or #3 ranked firm; the
Negotiating Committee will consist of the following:
1. John P. Kelly, City Manager
2. Michael R. Couzzo, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public
Works
3. Kelly Carpenter, Director of Community Development
4. Robert Foy, Director of Utilities/Engineering
5. Mary Blasi, Finance Director
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
TABLED Items 9. a. & b. for a workshop meeting.
C/M Katz MOVED to TABLE Items 9.a. and 9.b. for discussion at a workshop meeting for negotiating with the
top two negotiating firms on a rotating and/or availability basis.
Mayor Abramowitz said a suggestion was made that the City negotiate with the top two firms. He said
Scharf and Associates have done a lot of work for the City in lieu of paying a Construction Manager. He said
the three big projects which have been monitored by Scharf and Associates have come in on time and under
budget. He said the Selection Committee was very impressed by the presentation of Robert Walters and he
feels it is very difficult to second guess Staff. He said he feels this suggestion is a good one.
V/M Bender suggested that those ranked in positions one and two should be considered as the negotiating
firms.
C/M Katz said he will hold his Motion in abeyance until Item 9.b. is read.
TAPE 5
C/W Glasser requested a tabling of Item 9.a. to allow for discussion of how this decision was derived.
C/W Glasser MOVED to TABLE Item 9.a., SECONDED by C/M Schumann.
VOTE: C/M Katz - NAY
C/M Schumann - AYE
C/W Glasser - AYE
V/M Bender - AYE
Mayor Abramowitz - AYE
9. b. V/M Bender MOVED to APPOINT the Negotiating Committee to negotiate the
contract for future Council consideration with the number 1 and 2 ranked firms, SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
City Manager Kelly said the City is required to go through competitive negotiations by the Competitive
Negotiations Act to select architects and engineers to provide work to the City. He said the City is looking to
provide for a retainer-only type contract for continuing services. He said Staff is not asking for the architect
or engineering firm that is selected to do any specific project at present.
City Manager Kelly said this is a process to secure a firm at a retainer-only service basis. He said the fees
would be negotiated and as the projects come up, the firm selected would be contacted to do the work. He
said the City would not have the time to go through the competitive negotiations process every time there is
a small project to be accomplished. He said he feels this would save Staff time, advertising dollars and
facilitate more grant applications with a firm that is available in an on-call basis.
City Manager Kelly said funding has not been budgeted for any project at present and there will be no
monies incurred until such time as Council makes the funds available or until Staff is directed to locate the
funds. He said the procedure which is being done allows the City to have a continuing contract whereby the
firm provides professional services to the City for projects in which construction costs do not exceed
$500,000 and, when it is for a professional study service, it would not exceed $25,000. He said anything
higher would need to be advertised for the purpose.
City Manager Kelly said the contract would provide for a termination clause on the retainer service. He said
the Competitive Negotiations Act requires that when priority recommendations are made, the next step
would be for Council to authorize Staff to negotiate with the firms in order of priority for the purpose not
being able to come to terms with the number one selection, then terms would be negotiated with the
number two selection and then the third. He said the recommendation has been made that the City
negotiate with the first two firms and use them on a rotating basis. He said he is concerned that this not be
perceived as competitive bidding.
City Manager Kelly said both firms will be aware of the negotiating terms of the other firm; therefore, it
would be unlikely that there would be much of a differential. He said he feels it should be established and
recognized that this would be rotated in an on-call basis so there will be no competition involved.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that an affirmative vote will state that Council is telling Staff that they must
negotiate with these two firms.
City Manager Kelly said he understands that Council feels that there are two number one firms. He said if
the City cannot come to terms with one of those firms, then the City needs to be able to contact the other
firm for negotiations.
Mayor Abramowitz said he agrees with dealing with the top two firms. He said he does not want any
improprieties and does not want to tie Staff's hands if another firm is better.
C/M Katz said this is to access a letter of intent from these two firms and negotiating a retainage contract.
He said this can be reopened for proposals for services.
City Manager Kelly said he does not feel comfortable approving Item 9.b. when Item 9.a. was tabled.
C/W Glasser said she does not see any problem with some competition between two firms in the current
budget process. She asked how a bargaining process can be done otherwise.
City Manager Kelly said prices are not bargained in competitive negotiations. He said the Committee is
selected and during the selection process, it is not permitted to discuss prices. He said when Council agrees
that these firms are selected, then prices may be discussed.
Mr. Couzzo said it was the intent of Staff to do this to save money and time because there are a variety of
projects that are on going and the Competitive Negotiations Act requires going through this laborious task
to get an architect or engineering firm. He said in an effort to expedite some of the projects, Staff wanted to
do this on a term. He said the City does have some projects that need attention in a rather quick fashion.
He said one of them is the restroom facility at the Sports Complex on 77 Street and Nob Hill Road. He said
the funding is there to do this work and the need is definitely there. He said there are pending projects that
will need to be addressed in the near future. He requested that Council meet for this discussion as soon as
possible to allow the time to address these needs.
Robert Walters, owner of Robert Walters Architects, Inc., said the procedure went about with an RFP and
probably 25 or 30 architectural engineering firms would apply. He said his clients include the Cities of North
Lauderdale, Coral Springs and Coconut Creek. He said this is a standard procedure. He said once short
listed, they met with the City Staff. He said there were several projects that were outlined to the firms that
would possibly be considered in the City in the next couple of years. He said his firm was ranked number
one and Scharf and Associates was ranked number two because his firm showed their experience in those
specific projects such as restrooms, concession stand areas, fire station renovation and community centers.
He said his firm had a track record of these types of projects coming in on or under budget and not with a
lot of change orders.
Mr. Walters said this is a long, drawn out process which began many months prior to the presentations. He
said if this were approved to begin negotiations in lieu of the tabling, it would still be two months before a
contract. He said this process is to aid Staff in being ready not to spend months in hiring the architect to do
the work. He said the Competitive Negotiations Act mandates these firms to be ranked on qualifications,
quality, professional experience and references. He said these firms charge approximately the same fees.
C/W Glasser MOVED to TABLE Item 9.b. for further discussion, SECONDED by C/M Schumann.
VOTE: C/M Schumann - AYE
C/W Glasser - AYE
V/M Bender - AYE
C/M Katz - NAY

REPORTS
28. City Council
C/M Schumann - No report.
C/M Katz referred to Item 2 on the Agenda. He said Section 6.03 of the City Charter relative to Redistricting
states that the decision of the Redistricting Committee is final. He said he feels this is illegal and will not
subordinate his right to legislate to an appointed committee. He said Council was elected to legislate and he
does not feel that their word should be final. He said in researching the Ordinance for the Referendum in
1984, the wording was changed so that instead of allowing approval of the City Council and the Charter
Board at a joint meeting, this was changed to allow the last word to be given to this lay Committee. He said
he feels the City should get the opinion of the Attorney General regarding this matter.
C/M Katz said he would like the City Clerk to advertise for the volunteer Boards and Committees. He said he
would like to see qualified people making applications for these positions.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels there are many things in the Charter that are incorrect. He asked if the City
is mandated to follow the Charter if the Charter specifies and addresses a situation.
City Attorney Ruf said the final results must be accomplished within 180 days.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels Council must make the appointment within 45 days.
City Attorney Ruf said he understands that C/M Katz has no objection to moving forward in this manner;
however, he will research whether or not the Legislative branch could, by Charter, designate the final
decision to an appointed Board. He said if there is a consensus among Council to seek such an opinion, he
would do so.
CONSENSUS OF OPINION: ALL AGREED
City Attorney Ruf said there has been a significant change in the way the Attorney General responds. He
said when a question is asked, the Attorney General's Office writes back requesting the item be legally
briefed and then the decision will be made.
C/M Katz requested an expression of interest from Council regarding Council writing legislation that would
direct the Purchasing Department through the City Council to buy American whenever possible in the
attempt to save American jobs.
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED
C/W Glasser said there is no money coming from Tallahassee in this session. She requested a form to be a
lobbyist for the City of Tamarac. She said there is no cost to the City to register.
V/M Bender - No report.
Mayor Abramowitz - No report.
29. City Manager
City Manager Kelly said the City saved $25,000.00 from the Broward Sheriff's Office. He said Judy Kitograd
has resigned as Youth Counselor to go into private practice. He said her services were part of the existing
contract with Broward Sheriff's Office. He said the contract states that when one of the services will not be
rendered, the City will be compensated for it. He said the City will adhere to the existing contract and Mike
Woodruff will cut a check to the City for approximately $22,000.00 for the balance of the year for Ms.
Kitograd's services.
City Manager Kelly said there was a disagreement over the lease of the Police facility and, by the terms of
the contract, they would be paying the City commenrate with the increase to the service agreement. He
said in challenging this portion of the contract, a check will be forthcoming to the City from BSO in the
amount of approximately $3,600.00.
Mayor Abramowitz expressed his appreciation for the painting of the letters designating "Tamarac City Hall"
in the front of the building.
With no further business, Mayor Abramowitz ADJOURNED this meeting at 12:30 p.m.
