BAILEY ROAD, also known as North West 62nd Street, lies in and adjacent to the City of Tamarac, the City of North Lauderdale and unincorporated county areas. 2, The Bermuda Club Complex lies in Tamarac, partly fronting on Bailey Road. Bermuda Club is a residential condominium housing mostly, if not all, senior citizens. Four of the buildings of this complex are constructed on Bailey Road, extending from N.W. 64th Avenue to N.W. 61st Avenue. 3. All of the land fronting on Bailey Road is occupied by condominiums, farms, one -family homes or lies vacant. 4. None of the streets or roads intersecting Bailey Road are occupied by businesses, except State Road 7. 5. Bailey Road runs from State Road 7 westerly to N.W. 64th Avenue. The major highways circumscribing the area in which Bailey Road is situated are: State Road 7, at the Easterly end; Kimberly Road, to the North; McNab Road to the Northwest; N.W. 57th Street and Commercial Boulevard to the South. All of these roads have business areas. The businesses include two Publix Supermarkets, one Grand Union, One Wynn Dixie, as well as businesses selling furniture, carpets, party items, stationery, ice cream, bicycles, flowers, hardware, drugs, fruit, gas and oil, repairs, banking services, convenience stores and restaurants of all kinds. -1- 721.6645 6299 N. W. 57TH STREET, TAMARAC, FL 33319 Please reply to: The Members of the County Commission -2- October 14, 1977 7. Along the perimeter of the area surrounding Bailey Road, there are 320 stores, with 105 of them vacant - that is, one of every three is now vacant. 8. Attached as an exhibit is a list of major business areas surrounding -Bailey Road, showing total stores, etc. and number of vacancies. 9. Along these perimeter roads are sites for additional businesses, more than sufficient to satisfy the needs of present and future area residents. 10. THE NUMBER OF VACANT STORES, ALREADY CONSTRUCTED, SHOWS CLEARLY THAT MORE STORES AND BUSINESSES ALONG BAILEY ROAD ARE NOT NOW $ AND WILL NOT BE IN THE FUTURE, NEEDED WITHIN THE AREA DESCRIBED._ �• 11. One would be inclined to believe that land developers and land owners make careful and realistic and intelligent decisions on what to build. The large number of vacant .Mores around this area and in other areas of Broward County indicates that some of them gamble, need tax deductions and guess wrong. Developers' interests should be subordinate to the greater good of the community. "' 12. Vacant, uncared for stores, lead to delapidated and deteriorated neighborhoods and are attractive to those engaged in or inclined to criminal activities - crime of all kinds, rape, drug sales and danger to the residents of the community is present or likely to be present in such places. 13. There is nothing more frightening to pedestrians, -particularly the elderly living in the condominiums along Bailey Road. -than the darkened areas with vacant stores. 14. Signs have been erected along Bailey Road advertising the fact that the sites are zoned for business. Purchasers have not been attracted and businesses have not been constructed. The financial loss to abutting owners, which may be caused by rezoning the road to residential use in an otherwise resi- dential area, would be minimal, in fact, the land would be ore valuable if it were known that the purchasers Mould have } sidenti.al use, without the danger of business encroachment. =J --: 721-6645 Bermuda (Club Management (Council, Inc. 6299 N.
