Aug 25, 2021 Regular

I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO MOVED.

SECOND.

WE ARE GOING TO TURN TO MS. CALLOWAY, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, TO PROVIDE US A PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

IT'S MAXINE CALLOWAY FOR THE RECORD DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

JUST SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM.

SINCE 2014, WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROPERTY.

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS SINCE THAT TIME LEADING UP TO 2019, A TOTAL OF 15 CASES THAT HAS RESULTED IN LIENS BEING PLACED ON THIS PROPERTY.

AND I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROPERTY, BECAUSE IN 2018, THE MAGISTRATE ORDERED FORECLOSURE ON THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN WE CAME BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION IN JUNE 2018.

AND YOU AUTHORIZED US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FORECLOSURE, ALSO WITH FILING AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THE PROPERTY TO ENFORCE THE CODE AT THE TIME.

THEN IN 2018, THAT'S WHEN WE WENT AHEAD AND FILED THE COURT CASE.

AND THEN WE WENT INTO LITIGATION IN 2018.

IT WAS ONGOING THROUGH 2019.

AND IN MAY 2019, THE COURT RESPONDED TO THE INJUNCTION AND AUTHORIZE US TO ABATE THE PROPERTY, WHICH WE DID.

AND THEN IN 2019, OCTOBER THAT YEAR UNFORTUNATELY, MR. AIDONE PASSED AWAY.

FROM THAT TIME TO PRESENT THE LITIGATION PAUSED WE HAD SOME PROBATE PROCEEDINGS THAT WERE GOING ON AFTER HIS DEATH.

AND THEN IN MARCH 2021, THE ESTATE OF MR. AIDONE SOLD AN ADJOINING PROPERTY OR A PROPERTY THAT HE OWNED SOMEWHERE IN BROWARD COUNTY, WHICH ALLOWED US TO RELEASE FOUR OF THE CODE CASES.

AND SO NOW IN THIS MONTH, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTY I'M SORRY, MULTIPLE POTENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE REASON WE'RE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ASKED THE CITY TO CONSIDER A LIEN SETTLEMENT ON THE PROPERTY TO REDUCE THE LIEN AMOUNT, TO ALLOW THEM TO GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE JUST GIVES YOU AN INDICATION, I SHOW YOU WHERE THE PROPERTY IS, THE PROPERTY CONDITION, AND WE KNOW THAT THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY UP FOR SALE FOR ABOUT NINETY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR THE SETTLEMENT.

IN FACT, WE HAVE AN ATTORNEY WITH US THIS EVENING WHO IS REPRESENTING ONE OF THE POTENTIAL BUYERS WHO'S INTERESTED IN SETTLING THE LIEN ON THE PROPERTY.

STAFF IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR, WE ARE UNABLE TO SETTLE ADMINISTRATIVELY IN [INAUDIBLE] SECTION [INAUDIBLE] 2-76 ONE FOUR E.

I WOULD RESTRICT STAFF FROM ADMINISTRATIVELY SETTLING ANY CODE CASE, PARTICULARLY IF A MAGISTRATE HAS AUTHORIZED FORECLOSURE OF THE PROPERTY OR IF IT'S PENDING LITIGATION.

AND BECAUSE FORECLOSURE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE MAGISTRATE, WE'RE UNABLE TO ADMINISTRATIVELY SETTLE THIS LIEN AND SO WE ARE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING ASKING YOU TO AUTHORIZE US TO SETTLE FOR ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THESE ARE ALL THE LIENS THAT HAVE ACCUMULATED ON THE PROPERTY FOR A TOTAL OF ONE MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS.

ALL OF THESE CODE CASES HAVE BEEN ABATED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE THAT'S STILL OUTSTANDING, WHICH IS A PERMIT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF GLASS BLOCK WINDOW.

APPARENTLY THE PROPERTY OWNER AT THE TIME INSTALLED SOME WINDOWS WITHOUT A PERMIT, AND THAT'S THE ONLY VIOLATION THAT'S OUTSTANDING ON THE PROPERTY.

BECAUSE THE CITY IS INTERESTED IN COMPLIANCE MORE THAN FINES, OF COURSE, IS ONE OF THE REASON WHY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE REDUCE THE LIEN FROM ONE POINT SEVEN TO ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SETTLE AND TO ENTER INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE PROPERTY TO BE CLEANED UP.

AND FOR THAT ONE OUTSTANDING VIOLATION TO BE ABATED.

SO [INAUDIBLE], AGAIN, WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT REALLY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LITIGATION COSTS, THE RELATED HEARINGS AND STAFF TIME AND THE CITY CLEANUP EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY.

AND THAT'S HOW WE HAVE ARRIVED AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

AND IF CITY COMMISSION APPROVES THIS TONIGHT THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE SOLD FOR THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE PROPOSED BUYER AND FOR

[01:00:01]

ANY VIOLATION THAT'S OUTSTANDING TO BE ABATED AND FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE RESOLVED AND CLEANED UP.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

WE'LL OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

ACTUALLY, WE DO HAVE THE ATTORNEY FOR THE STATE PROPERTY, OR ACTUALLY THE.

A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER.

YES, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? GOOD.

NAME ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

THANKS.

GOOD EVENING.

MADAM MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS RYAN ABRAMS. I'M AN ATTORNEY.

ADDRESS FOR MY OFFICE IS 888 SOUTHEAST THIRD AVENUE FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, SUITE 400.

I ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE BUYER OF THIS PROPERTY IT'S NOT MULTIPLE PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS.

THERE'S ONE PURCHASER.

THE CLOSING IS ACTUALLY SET FOR TOMORROW.

SO WHAT HAPPENS HERE TONIGHT IS VERY MATERIAL TO THAT TRANSACTION.

I THINK THAT THE HISTORY OF THIS PROPERTY WAS PRETTY ACCURATELY FRAMED I WOULD ONLY CHARACTERIZE A FEW ITEMS DIFFERENTLY.

THERE WAS NEVER AN INJUNCTION ISSUED.

THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT ENTERED BETWEEN THE CITY THROUGH THE ATTORNEYS, AND THE CASE WAS DISMISSED IN DECEMBER OF 2018.

SO THERE'S NOT BEEN PENDING LITIGATION.

BUT IN THAT LITIGATION, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT APPROVED BY THE JUDGE CALLED FOR CONTINUED COMPLIANCE AND THERE WERE SOME COMPLIANCE ISSUES.

AND SO THERE WAS THE COURT USES CONTEMPT POWER.

A FEW MONTHS LATER, UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROPERTY OWNER AT THAT TIME DIED AND [INAUDIBLE] PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER OF THAT 2019.

SO AS WAS STATED, YOU KNOW, THE MAIN GOAL WITH THE CITY IS COMPLIANCE.

IT'S NOT TO LIKE GENERATE REVENUE, ALTHOUGH THAT IS A SECONDARY PURPOSE.

AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS PROPERTY HAS HAD A HISTORY TO IT.

AND WE IN NO WAY INTEND TO CONTINUE THAT.

BUT WE WOULD JUST LIKE THE CITY COMMISSION TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT FURTHER REDUCTION IS NEEDED FOR THIS PROPERTY TO CHANGE HANDS AND FOR REINVESTMENT TO OCCUR.

I MEAN, WE APPRECIATE THE REDUCTION THAT'S BEING PROPOSED BY STAFF TO ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT IS A BIG LEAP.

HOWEVER, I WILL SAY USUALLY THESE MATTERS ARE HANDLED AT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE LEVEL, AND THERE'S LIKE GENERALLY A CONSIDERATION THAT IS GIVEN TO THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.

AND IN THIS CASE, THIS PROPERTY IS NOT A HIGH VALUE PROPERTY.

IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS AT TWO SIXTY ONE THOUSAND, WHICH IS REALLY NOT THAT FAR OFF.

AND SUBSTANTIAL RENOVATIONS ARE EXPECTED BY MY CLIENT.

SO CURRENTLY, THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR VALUE WOULD ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT CLOSE TO 50 PERCENT OF THE PROPERTY VALUE.

AND THAT IS REALLY A DIFFICULT SUM TO WORK WITH.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THAT THE FIRES BE REDUCED TO TWO PERCENT, WHICH IS 13 PERCENT OF THE PROPERTY VALUE.

AND WHAT MY CLIENT, THE BUYER WHO'S GOING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROPERTY IF ALL GOES AS HOPED.

THEY ARE PREPARED TO ISSUE A CHECK TO THE CITY WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF APPROVAL FOR THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.

AND THAT WOULD BE BY CASHIER'S CHECK.

AND THIS MONEY IS ON THE TABLE.

THERE'S BEEN A HISTORY OF ISSUES WITH THIS PROPERTY.

BUT THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD.

AM I, CAN I GO JUST A MINUTE OVER? SO REPRESENTING AN INTERESTED PARTY.

ANYWAYS, I JUST WANT TO JUST CLOSE JUST SAY A FEW THINGS.

YOU KNOW, EXORBITANT FINES CAN DEINCENTIVIZE YOU KNOW, REINVESTMENT TO A PROPERTY.

WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN HERE.

AND MY CLIENT INTENDS TO REINVEST IN HIS PROPERTY BETTER THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK IT'S A BENEFIT TO ALL.

AT SOME POINT, EXCESSIVE FINES CAN HAVE A REVERSE IMPACT ON THE GOAL OF OF REMOVING BLIGHT FROM A COMMUNITY.

AND SO I THINK THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A BALANCE.

AND SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

AND WE UNDERSTAND IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR THIS ISN'T PUBLIC COMMENT.

THIS IS AS AN APPLICANT, SO TO SPEAK, OR INVESTED INTERESTED PARTY.

FOR YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, THEN PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

AND I WILL TURN TO COMMISSIONER PLACKO FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS.

AND I KNOW THE AMOUNT OF TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY THAT THE CITY, THAT BEING CITY

[01:05:05]

STAFF OUR CODE COMPLIANCE WE HAVE HAD BSO OUT THERE WITH US NUMEROUS TIMES.

WE'VE HAD BATHTUBS ON THE ROOF THAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED.

IF YOU NOTICED ON ONE OF THE LINES, IT WAS TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD TO GET TOW TRUCKS TO TOW TRUCKS OUT OF THE BACK YARD.

WE HAD TO TAKE FENCES DOWN IN ORDER TO TOW THESE.

WE TOWED TRUCKS.

WE TOWED CARS.

SO THE MONEY THAT THE CITY HAS SPENT ON THIS IS WELL BEYOND THE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

I UNDERSTAND LOWERING IT.

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE IN FAVOR OF LOWERING IT.

I WOULD MUCH RATHER THE CITY FORECLOSE ON THE PROPERTY AND WE REHABBED AND WE SELL IT TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A NICE HOME.

SO I ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR REDUCING THIS.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER PLACKO.

WE HAVE VICE MAYOR THEN COMMISSIONER GELIN.

I WOULD AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER PLACKO.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THREE PROPERTIES IN MY DISTRICT THAT ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION.

WE GET SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM THE WESTWOOD'S THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST THE HOMEOWNER.

I THINK IF THE REDUCTION WILL COME.

IT WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM THE HOMEOWNER AND NOT THE CITY.

SO IF THE APPLICANT OR THE PURCHASER WANTS TO FOR US TO REDUCE IT, HAVE THE HOMEOWNER REDUCE IT BY THAT MUCH? BUT I WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF SUCH LOWERING IT AT ALL.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

COMMISSIONER GELIN.

A QUESTION FOR THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE BUYER.

YOU STATED TODAY AND IN YOUR LETTER, IT STATES THAT THE AUTHORIZATION TO REDUCE THE FINE YOU BELIEVE IS WITH THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

SO I GUESS BEFORE I GO TO YOU, MS. CALLOWAY.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON REDUCING THE FINE AMOUNT? COMMISSIONER, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, AS STATED BEFORE, WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION FROM THE ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS THAT IS CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY.

IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU JUST ASKED US TO CLARIFY, WE DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTRATIVELY SETTLE LIENS WE HAVE DONE SO AND ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.

HOWEVER, AS STATED IN THE PRESENTATION SECTION 2-76 4E OF OUR CODE LIMITS, MY ABILITY TO DO SO, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THIS WAS AUTHORIZED FOR FORECLOSURE BY THE MAGISTRATE AND WAS ONE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION.

SO WHICH IS WHY THE ITEM IS BEFORE YOU.

SO I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SETTLE TO ONE TWENTY FIVE.

HOWEVER, STAFF IS RECOMMENDED ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND, WHICH REPRESENTS, AS INDICATED BEFORE, STAFFS TIME AND EFFORT AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY.

SO THE CITY IS ESSENTIALLY JUST TRYING TO RECOVER ITS COSTS.

AND THE REDUCTION IS APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE MORE THAN ONE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

THE ONE POINT GOING DOWN HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND.

THAT IS CORRECT.

HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR US TO COLLECT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM A POTENTIAL BUYER? SO WE HAVE A BUYER WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH WITHIN FIVE DAYS.

AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014.

WE HAVEN'T COLLECTED ANYTHING.

IF WE KEEP THIS LIEN OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND, WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATION THAT WE'LL COLLECT THIS AND OVER WHAT PERIOD OF TIME? WELL, ANY POTENTIAL BUYER WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THESE LIENS THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY AND WOULD BE FORCED TO COME TO THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH IS WHY THIS POTENTIAL BUYERS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THIS BUYER IS SLATED FOR CLOSING.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE RECEIVED, AS INDICATED BEFORE, MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR SETTLEMENTS.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WERE OTHER BUYERS THAT WERE LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY.

CAN YOU PUT.

BUT ANY POTENTIAL BUYER WOULD BE FORCED TO COME TO THE CITY TO HAVE THOSE LIENS REMOVED AND TO POTENTIALLY ENTER INTO A SETTLEMENT THANK YOU.

CAN YOU PUT THE IMAGE BACK UP OF THE HOME?

[01:10:01]

YES, I CAN.

AND FOR THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE BUYER.

IS THE BUYER GOING TO WALK IF IT'S NOT REDUCED TO 35,000? I'M NOT CLEAR ON THAT.

I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE A DECISION FOR HIM TO MAKE.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT HE'S PREPARED TO PAY THE 35 IMMEDIATELY.

SO.

AND IF I RECALL MAXINE, I THINK I SAW A VALUE OF 260,000 ON THAT HOME.

SO A BUYER WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 260 PLUS THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR LIEN.

NO, THE HOME IS BEING SOLD FOR NINETY NINE THOUSAND, THAT'S FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

SO THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE HOME IS NINETY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT WHAT YOU SAW FOR THE TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS IS A PROPERTY MARKET VALUE FROM THE BROWARD COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISERS WEBSITE.

SO THAT'S THE MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.

OK, SO THE MARKET VALUE IS 261, BUT THE SALE PRICE IS NINETY NINE.

THAT IS CORRECT.

AND SO WHERE WOULD THE ONE TWENTY FIVE COME FROM, FROM A BUYER.

COMMISSIONER GELIN, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.

YOU ARE THE REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY SO I'LL POSE THAT QUESTION TO YOU.

THAT IS FINE.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.

RIGHT NOW, THIS PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD FOR UNDER MARKET VALUE.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME REPAIRS.

BUT IF THIS PURCHASE IS TO GO THROUGH, THE MONEY WOULD COME THROUGH THE CLOSING.

IT IS THE FUNDS FROM CLOSING WILL BE WHAT WILL BE PAYING THE DEBT ON THIS PROPERTY.

AND I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANTS OR PURCHASER'S ATTORNEY, THAT MIGHT HELP WITH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS IF YOU.

YES SO MAYBE THE ATTORNEY CAN HELP ME.

I'M STILL NOT CLEAR.

SO IF I'M THE BUYER AND I'M BUYING THIS HOUSE FOR NINETY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS, WHAT IS MY TOTAL OUT-OF-POCKET? WELL, IMMEDIATELY IT WOULD BE THE PURCHASE PRICE PLUS THE LIEN AMOUNT.

AND THEN ANY REPAIR COSTS THAT ARE AND THEN PLUS HOLDING COSTS.

SO IF I'M A BUYER, I GOT TO PAY NINETY NINE PLUS THE ONE TWENTY FIVE.

FOR [INAUDIBLE], OK.

TO GET CLEAN TITLE, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE LIENS REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY SO THE PURCHASER HAS, THE PEOPLE IN THE CONTRACT HAVE TO PAY TO REMOVE WHAT'S ON THERE.

SO JUST BECAUSE IT'S BEEN LISTED FOR A LOWER AMOUNT THAN WHAT THE TITLE LIENS ARE ON THE PROPERTY THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE TO COME BEFORE US TO GET PERMISSION.

AND FOR THE ATTORNEY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPAIRS ARE ON THIS? I DO NOT AT THIS TIME.

I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE A SUBJECT OF INVESTIGATION AFTER CLOSING FOR MY CLIENT.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL.

BUT REPAIRS ARE NEEDED.

AND MS. CALLOWAY, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OR AN ESTIMATE BASED ON ALL THE ISSUES THAT YOU'VE SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS, WHAT THE VALUE OF THE REPAIRS WOULD BE? I DO NOT.

WE JUST HAVE ONE VIOLATION THAT'S OUTSTANDING.

ALL THE OTHER VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN ABATED.

AND NO, I DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST.

AND AS PART OF THE REASON WHY WE BROUGHT THE FINES DOWN FROM ONE MILLION, 700,000 TO ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND IS BECAUSE IT'LL BE COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC FOR SOMEONE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL MILLION, ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION FOR THIS PROPERTY.

NOW, A PART OF IT IS THAT WE WERE ENTERTAINING A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IT'S SOMETHING WE DO ALL THE TIME.

THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE BECAUSE OF THE FORECLOSURE AND THE LITIGATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY.

OTHERWISE, WE HANDLE THESE ADMINISTRATIVELY ALL THE TIME.

WE ENDEAVOR TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE.

AND SO THE VIOLATIONS ARE ABATED THEN WE TYPICALLY JUST RECOUP OUR TIME AND COSTS.

AND SO THIS IS A BIT UNIQUE BECAUSE OF THE FORECLOSURE THAT WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE MAGISTRATE AND THE LITIGATION THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY.

OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ADMINISTRATIVELY, WHICH WE DO OK, SO THIS ATTORNEY REPRESENTS ONE BUYER, BUT YOU SAID THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUYERS.

HAVE YOU BEEN APPROACHED OR HOW ARE YOU AWARE OF THESE OTHER BUYERS? WE HAVE HAD OVER FOUR REQUESTS FOR THE LIEN SETTLEMENT PROCESS REQUIRES A PAID APPLICATION FOR US TO COMMENCE THE PROCESS.

AND SO WE HAD FOUR REQUESTS FOR LIEN SETTLEMENT, TWO APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID FOR, THE POTENTIAL BUYER BEING ONE OF THEM.

SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE IS THAT THERE IS SOME ACTIVITY ON THE PROPERTY IN INTEREST TO PURCHASE.

THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LIEN AND THE LIEN AMOUNT.

THEY ARE, WHICH IS WHY THEY APPROACHED THE CITY AND PAID THE APPLICATION COST TO

[01:15:01]

ENTERTAIN A LIEN SETTLEMENT DISCUSSION.

WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO PAY THE LIEN AMOUNT IN YOUR VIEW.

IT COULD BE IT COULD BE.

I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE COMPASSIONATE WITH PEOPLE, BUT IT IS PRETTY COMPASSIONATE TO GO DOWN FROM ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION TO ONE TWENTY FIVE.

AND YOU SAID MS. CALLOWAY, THAT IS THE SUM OF THE COSTS OF STAFF TIME AND ATTORNEY TIME AND EVERYTHING.

YES, THIS IS WHAT THAT REPRESENTS COMMISSIONER.

AND MR. ATTORNEY, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE GOING DOWN FROM 125 TO 35? SO I DO A LOT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT WORK.

AND DEAL WITH CITIES OFTEN WITH THESE ISSUES AND ITS ROUTINE THAT THESE FINES ARE REDUCED, AT A LARGER PERCENTAGE WHEN THEY'RE LARGER IN AMOUNT.

AND THAT ALSO USUALLY CITIES FACTOR IN THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.

SO GIVEN I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, MILLION DOLLAR PLUS VIOLATIONS ARE SOMETIMES REDUCED TO A PERCENTAGE POINT.

AND THAT'S TO HELP THE PROPERTY TRANSFER OWNERSHIP AND REINVESTMENT TO OCCUR.

OTHERWISE THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AND THE PROPERTY WILL DETERIORATE.

SO CITIES TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

SO I JUST PROPOSED TWO PERCENT BECAUSE THE CLIENT WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AND BECAUSE IT MATCHED MY EXPERIENCE IN WHAT I SEE DEALING WITH CITIES.

AND MS. CALLOWAY, WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE? HAVE YOU SEEN FINES GO DOWN THIS LOW AND HAVE YOU DID YOU FACTOR THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE PROPERTY? NO, WE JUST TYPICALLY WE DON'T USE THAT AS A PART OF OUR NEGOTIATION.

WE LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN ABATED, WHAT IT IS THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE.

WE TYPICALLY GO AS LOW AS SUGGESTED BY THE ATTORNEY.

HOWEVER, THIS IS UNIQUE WITH LIENS IN EXCESS OF ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.

AND SO THE ONLY APPROACH WE USE WAS JUST THE COST TIME ESTIMATE FOR THE LITIGATION, AS WELL AS COST TIME AND EFFORT WITH THIS PROPERTY.

THAT'S HOW WE ARRIVED AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

CITY ATTORNEY, DO YOU HAVE [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, IF I MAY.

MAYBE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS DISCUSSION.

WHILE ALL THIS WAS GOING ON AND THE STAFF WAS ALREADY CALCULATED, THE POTENTIAL REDUCTION OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THERE ACTUALLY WERE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE STATE'S ATTORNEY REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF THIS PROPERTY AND THE RESOLUTION OF THIS REDUCED AMOUNT, BECAUSE WE HAD CONVEYED TO THE ESTATE THAT THAT WAS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THE CITY WAS WILLING TO AGREE TO SUBJECT TO ENTERING INTO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND RESOLVING THE DISPUTE.

THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ESTATE NOT ONLY CONVEYED TO ME, BUT ALSO TO STAFF THEIR POTENTIAL DESIRE TO THE POINT THAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IS TO GIVE US TITLE OF THE PROPERTY RATHER THAN SATISFY THE OUTSTANDING DEBT, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE PROPERTY ANYMORE.

AND FRANKLY, THAT'S WHERE I THOUGHT WE WERE HEADED WHEN WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE CURRENT OWNER HAD BOUGHT IT FROM THE ESTATE WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, COMING TO US AND ATTEMPTING TO SATISFY THE DEBT THAT'S OWED OR THE LIEN THAT'S OWED ON THE PROPERTY.

AS MENTIONED BY STAFF.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M NOT NECESSARILY AND CERTAINLY NOT ADVOCATING OR SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD DO THIS, BUT YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S ORDER TO AND DIRECT STAFF TO BEGIN THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS AND FORECLOSE ON OUR LIEN THAT'S AN ALTERNATIVE AND WHERE WE WOULD ACQUIRE TITLE OF THE PROPERTY AT THAT POINT IN TIME, ASSUMING WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT FORECLOSURE, PROCESS.

OK, SO MAXINE OR THE CITY MANAGER, HOW OFTEN HAVE WE TAKEN TITLE AND HOW MANY PROPERTIES DO WE OWN AND HAVE WE ACQUIRED THROUGH THIS PROCESS? ACTUALLY COMMISSIONER, YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE FLOOR AT THAT POINT.

SO.

IT WAS A FOLLOW UP BASED ON THE INFORMATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.

THERE IS NO FOLLOW UP.

AND IF I MAY, ONE OF THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED EARLIER IS, WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCES.

I HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THIS, BECAUSE I ACTUALLY SERVE AS A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND SO I HEAR THESE TYPES OF REQUESTS SOMETIMES WHEN THEY COME TO THE CITY.

AND IN ONE PARTICULAR CITY, THERE'S REALLY NO RHYME OR REASON WHATSOEVER IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY SETTLE THESE LIENS.

[01:20:04]

SO, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR CREDIT, AS A COMMISSION AND AS A CITY, YOU ALL HAVE ADOPTED REGULATIONS TO ASSIST STAFF IN MAKING THAT DECISION.

BUT AS STAFF HAS PREVIOUSLY STATED, THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SITUATION BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION.

IT'S EXTENSIVE LITIGATION.

AND FRANKLY, THE ONLY REASON TO SOME DEGREE THAT THE MATTER HAS COME TO A CONCLUSION IS BECAUSE MR. AIDONE PASSED AWAY AND HIS ESTATE, TOOK UPON ITSELF TO KIND OF TRY AND CLEAN SOME THINGS UP AND GET EVERYTHING SATISFIED.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

AND BEFORE I GO TO THE VICE MAYOR FOR HIS SECOND ROUND, I'M GOING TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS AND JUMP ON IN HERE.

SO WHEN WAS THE CONTRACT ENTERED? THE CONTRACT, IT WAS WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

TWO WEEK CONTRACT.

I'M SORRY? YOU COULD JUST BE GENERAL.

THAT'S FINE.

YEAH, WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS IT WAS RECENT AND IT WAS EXTENDED LAST LAST FRIDAY WAS EXTENDED UNTIL I'M SORRY ON MONDAY, IT WAS THERE WAS AN ADDENDUM SIGNED EXTENDING IT TILL THURSDAY.

SO TOMORROW.

OK, AND IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A NO INSPECTION CONTRACT THEN? YEAH, THERE WAS AWARENESS OF THE LIENS.

IT WAS DISCLOSED.

OK, SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT, PREFERABLY BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE.

OK, SO THIS IS A PURCHASE, JUST RESETTING CERTAIN THINGS HERE.

THE E STATE SOLD THE PROPERTY FOR EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS TO THE SELLER AT THIS TIME, 12 NAMES LLC.

SO THE E STATE IS NO LONGER IN HERE.

THE E STATE [INAUDIBLE] THROUGH ITS ATTORNEYS.

THE CITY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FORECLOSE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET COMPLIANCE AND ONE POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN LIENS AND WON'T EVEN GO INTO WHAT THE PROPERTY APPEARED.

I THINK COMMISSIONER PLACKO STATED SOME OF THAT NICE ENOUGH.

BUT THE CITY WAS LEFT WITH LIMITED CHOICE AND THE CITY COMMISSION DECIDED TO FORECLOSE.

SO THE FORECLOSURE ACTION WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED TEMPORARILY, SO TO SPEAK, BECAUSE AN AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO.

MR. AIDONE DIED.

HIS E STATE WAS SUPPOSED TO FINISH THAT AGREEMENT.

SO THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT GOING TO THE MAGISTRATE, IT'S NOT GOING TO THE MAGISTRATE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING NORMAL PROCESS.

THIS IS NOT A NORMAL PROCESS.

IT WENT TO FORECLOSURE.

AND IF ANYTHING, THE FORECLOSURE ACTION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED TO DEAL WITH ANY CHANGES IN SETTLEMENT, WHICH IS WHY OUR CITY COMMISSION IS HERE.

SO IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, IT GOES THROUGH THAT WAY.

BUT THE NEGOTIATED LIEN AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND.

SO WITH THAT, YOUR CLIENT IS TRYING TO PURCHASE A PROPERTY TO FLIP AND MAKE A WONDERFUL PROFIT.

AS MANY OF US IN THE INDUSTRY KNOW, THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS WEBSITE IS APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 PERCENT LOWER THAN ACTUAL VALUE OF WHAT THE PROPERTY VALUE IS.

SO GIVING IT EVEN AT 30 PERCENT VERSUS IT COULD BE NOWADAYS WITH A PROPERTY RISE BEING CLOSER TO 40 PERCENT IT'S ABOUT SEVENTY EIGHT THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN ACTUAL HIGHER VALUE.

DID YOU APPRAISE THE PROPERTY? WE DID NOT.

SO YOU DIDN'T APPRAISE THE PROPERTY.

SO YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT MORE MONEY THERE TO BE HAD.

AND YOU WANT TO ASK THE CITY TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL LIENS AFTER WE'VE WAIVED CERTAIN THINGS, SO YOUR CLIENT CAN OBTAIN A NICE FINANCIAL TURNOVER? LOOK, I AM ALL FOR BIG BUSINESS AND BUSINESS DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, SMALL OR LARGE OR WHATEVER, IN THE RIGHT MANNER, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CITY.

SO IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF JUST EXPANDING PROFITS, ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY THAT'S WHAT MOTIVATES BUSINESS.

RIGHT.

SO, YES, THIS IS A COMPANY PURCHASING IT.

IT'S NOT AN INDIVIDUAL.

SO THEY WILL BE INVESTING INTO THE PROPERTY AND THEN SELLING IT AT A PROFIT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE CONCERN IS THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A PROFIT AT THE CURRENT PROPOSED LIEN AMOUNT WITH THE AMOUNT OF RENOVATIONS THEY EXPECT TO MAKE INTO THE PROPERTY.

SO, I MEAN, THEY WELCOME THE PROPOSAL THAT'S BEEN MADE.

IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE.

BUT ALL I'M SAYING IS THEY WERE EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FURTHER REDUCTION.

BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WILLING TO HEAR AN ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTION BY THE COMMISSION.

WELL, I THINK AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THE CITY SHOULDN'T BE NEGOTIATING AGAINST ITSELF.

I THINK IF WE HAVE A PROPERTY, EVEN IF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IS STILL AT TWO HUNDRED SIXTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND YOU ADD THE SEVENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS MINIMUM OF THE TRUE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, IT BECOMES THREE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED.

SO, AFTER A HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND, APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE THOUSAND.

SO YOU PUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO THIS PROPERTY, WHICH I THINK MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT GIVE OR TAKE.

YOU STILL HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR SO OF PROFIT.

AND AGAIN, NO PROBLEM WITH YOU OR YOUR CLIENT INVESTING.

[01:25:03]

THE PROBLEM IS TO TRY TO ASK THE CITY TO BURDEN THAT INVESTMENT AND PAY FOR THE REST OF IT.

YOUR CLIENT HAS NO IDEA AT THIS TIME.

I LOOKED AT WHAT IT SAYS HERE.

IT SAYS ALL MARBLE FLOORS.

SOME UPGRADES HAVE BEEN MADE, SUCH AS LAUNDRY ROOM AND ONE BATHROOM, A SUB-ZERO REFRIGERATOR.

SO SOME WORKERS MAYBE BEEN PUT IN.

ANYWAY, FROM A PERSON WHO HAS LIVED FOR YEARS BEHIND A HOME THAT HAD TWO POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF LIENS WHERE YOU CAN SMELL IT ANYTIME YOU WALK OUTSIDE, I KNOW THAT SOMEBODY ELSE PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY AFTER THE PERSON DIED AND IS PUTTING IN INVESTING A LOT OF MONEY AND DOING WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND HAS BEEN THROUGH THE MAGISTRATE.

THAT WAS BECAUSE.

IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH FORECLOSURE YET, IT WAS PENDING.

THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY WAS GOING THROUGH FORECLOSURE, AND IN MY OPINION, IF YOUR CLIENT WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, THEN IT NEEDS TO PAY ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE, WHICH IS A NICE NEGOTIATED PRICE DOWN FROM WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, OR THE CITY CAN CONTINUE WITH IT'S FORECLOSURE ACTION.

I'M SORRY, THAT'S MY OPINION.

OK, THANK YOU.

I JUST WANT TO ASK A QUESTION TO THE CITY ATTORNEY OR CITY MANAGER AFTER WE VOTE ON THE MATTER.

VICE MAYOR.

THAT'S ALL.

THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

SO, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? WHEN AN ITEM IS DONE, THE ITEM IS DONE AND WE MOVE ON.

IT'S NOT RELEVANT TO THE ITEM, SO.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE QUESTION.

CITY CLERK.

ALRIGHTY, WE ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO--MAY I? YES, VICE MAYOR.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER JUST HAD A QUESTION.

ARE WE DO WE KNOW MORE PROPERTIES IN THE SAME SITUATION? BECAUSE I KNOW MANY PROPERTIES FROM DISTRICT ONE TO FOUR THAT ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION, BUT YET WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY ACTION FOR IT AND OUR RESIDENTS ARE SCREAMING ABOUT IT.

AND I THINK MS. CALLOWAY, YOU SHOWED A TIMELINE FROM 2014 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I WOULD SAY THAT I, AWAITING SUCH A VERY LONG TIME, WOULD BE A DISSERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITIES.

WE HAVE MECHANIC SHOPS.

WE HAVE ABANDONED HOMES.

AND WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT? I CAN ASK A QUESTION COMMISSIONER BOLTON.

SO IF YOU WANT YOUR DISTRICT TO LOOK WITH ABANDONED HOMES, THAT'S FINE, TOO.

ACTUALLY, I'M GOING TO TAKE YOUR COMMENT OR YOUR QUESTION AND TURN IT TO THE CITY MANAGER TO PUT ON A WORKSHOP FOR US TO DISCUSS THE I BELIEVE AS A RECAP OF THE WORKSHOP THAT WE HAD ABOUT RIGHT BEFORE COVID, I THINK IT WAS, FOR THE FIVE PROPERTIES OR SO THAT HAD SIGNIFICANT ISSUES, AND WE COULD DISCUSS IT THERE, AND IN YOUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY MANAGER, MAYBE THEY CAN INCREASE IT TO WHICHEVER OTHER PROPERTIES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND WE CAN DISCUSS AT A WORKSHOP.

CITY ATTORNEY.

JUST ONE COMMENT, JUST IN GENERAL.

YES, MA'AM.

SO, EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT AS A MECHANISM TO ENFORCE OUR REGULATIONS AND TO MAINTAIN, YOU KNOW, MINIMUM STANDARDS IS A PROCESS CREATED BY THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE, WHICH WE'VE ADOPTED, AND VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER MUNICIPALITY AND COUNTY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS.

BUT THERE'S ONE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO THAT PROCESS.

IT WORKS AND IT WORKS THE WAY IT'S INTENDED WHEN THE PROPERTY OWNER COOPERATES AND TAKES ACTION TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION.

THERE ARE INSTANCES SUCH AS THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT YEARS CAN GO BY WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER ESSENTIALLY IGNORES THE ORDERS OF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE AND THE ACTIONS OF THE CITY TO ENFORCE THOSE REGULATIONS OR NOT A WHOLE LOT THAT'S IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE ARE INHERENT SHORTCOMINGS IN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS.

[01:30:01]

SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND FOREGO THAT CONVERSATION.

SO NOW WE ARE MOVING TO 6A ORDNANCES ON FIRST READING T02479 AMENDMENT TO THE

[6.a. TO2479 - Amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan to create a new Property Rights Element as required by Florida Statutes 177.3177(6)(i)/HB59]

CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CREATE NEW PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT AS REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTES 177.31776I/HB HOUSE BILL 59.

CITY ATTORNEY PLEASE READ THE TITLE FOR THE RECORD.

MADAM MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

ITEM 6A AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA, ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC CONFERENCE PLAN BY AND THROUGH PROCEDURES REQUIRED FOR THE EXPEDITED STATE REVIEW PROCESS PURSUANT TO AUTHORITY UNDER STATE STATUTE SECTION 163.3184, SPECIFICALLY CREATING A NEW PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT OF THE CONFERENCE PLAN ENTITLED PROPERTY RIGHTS ATTACHED HERETO IS EXHIBIT A AUTHORIZING TRANSMITTAL OF THE ADOPTED PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND OTHER AGENCIES AS REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTES 163.3184(3) PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION OF THE CONFERENCE PLAN FOR AND FOR CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO MOVED.

THIS ITEM IS ABOUT TO DIE FOR A LACK OF SECOND.

CONSIDERING THAT NOBODY IS SECONDING, THIS ITEM IS--SECOND.

THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'LL MOVE A LOT FASTER IF WE KIND OF PARTICIPATE.

MAXINE CALLOWAY, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, WILL PROVIDE A PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, MAYOR AND COMMISSION.

ARE YOU SEEING MY PRESENTATION ON THE SCREEN? YES.

SO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS TO ADD A PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND WE'RE ALSO ASKING TO BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT THAT ELEMENT TO THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW.

I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME BRIEF BACKGROUND AS TO WHY THIS IS NECESSARY AND REQUIRED, BUT THIS YEAR, 2021, THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS HAD REALLY SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATION THAT HAS COME BECOME EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST THAT REALLY SUPPORTS PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

AND WE HAVE SEEN IT WITH QUITE A FEW HOUSE BILL THAT IS PASSED AND IS EFFECTIVE FROM JULY ONE.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE HOUSE BILL FIFTY NINE THAT REQUIRES ALL MUNICIPALITIES WITH A POPULATION OF 10000 OR GREATER TO ADOPT A PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT.

AND IT NEEDS TO BECOME A PART OF THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT INSTRUCTS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONSIDER CERTAIN PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS WHEN REGULATING LAND.

AND IT DIRECTS US TO ADOPT THE PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT [INAUDIBLE] THE EARLIER IF IT'S NEXT PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT INITIATED AFTER JULY 1ST, 2021, OR THE DATE OF ITS NEXT COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION.

THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH FLORIDA STATUTE 163.3191.

IN ADDITION TO THAT HOUSE BILL, JUST WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE DISCUSSION THIS EVENING, BUT JUST TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE LEGISLATURE HAS JUST HAD SUCH AN INTEREST IN PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS THIS YEAR AND HAS ADOPTED ALL THESE LEGISLATION IN SUPPORT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

HOUSE BILL 403 IS HOME BASED BUSINESS THAT TOO BECAME EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST.

WE'LL HAVE AN ORDINANCE ON YOUR SEPTEMBER AGENDA THAT DEALS WITH HOME BASED BUSINESS.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, LOCAL GOVERNMENT NO LONGER HAVE THE TYPE OF AUTHORITY WE USED TO.

WE'RE LIMITED IN TERMS OF REGULATE AND HOME BASED BUSINESS.

AND THE STATE IS NOW SAYING THAT THOSE BUSINESSES CANNOT BE REGULATED ANY DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE CITY.

NOW, HOME BASED BUSINESSES ARE ABLE TO HIRE NO MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE.

AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT I BRING FORWARD IN SEPTEMBER.

SO THIS IS ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE ACTIVITY THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN TALLAHASSEE AND THE OTHER ONE, HOUSE BILL 487 THAT HAS TO DO WITH SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS, THEY HAVE INCREASED THE SIZE FOR THAT TO REDUCE THE STATE OVERSIGHT.

SO INSTEAD OF 10 ACRES FOR SMALL SCALE LAND USE AMENDMENT, THEY'VE INCREASED THAT UP TO 50 ACRES.

AND AN EXAMPLE IS THE [INAUDIBLE].

THINK THAT'S ON YOUR AGENDA THIS EVENING.

PRIOR TO JULY 1ST, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LARGE-SCALE LAND USE AMENDMENT WHERE WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO TRANSMIT TO THE COUNTY AND THEN TO THE STATE.

BECAUSE OF THIS NEW LEGISLATION, THE SIZE OF THOSE PROPERTIES HAVE INCREASED FROM 10 ACRES TO 50 ACRES.

SO THE ITEM, THAT LAND USE AMENDMENT THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS NOW A LOCAL SMALL-SCALE LAND USE AMENDMENT THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A FORMAL TRANSMITTAL TO THE COUNTY AND TO THE STATE.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE BILLS AND

[01:35:03]

LEGISLATION COMING OUT OF TALLAHASSEE THIS YEAR.

JUST SOME INFORMATION ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHAT THAT DOCUMENT IS, IT'S REALLY A LOCAL GOVERNMENT PLAN THAT'S ADOPTED AT A LOCAL LEVEL, AND IT CONTROLS AND DIRECTS OUR LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN OUR CITY.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY OVERSEES THE LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING SYSTEM FROM A STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, WE RETAIN AMPLE INDEPENDENCE IN THE SUBSTANCE OF THE LAND USE REGULATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHIN OUR OWN JURISDICTION.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC, AND MOST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ADOPT AND MAINTAIN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE HAVE TO PREPARE PLAN AMENDMENTS TO OUR EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE STATUTE.

OUR LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MUST INCLUDE PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS AND STRATEGIES, AND THOSE REALLY ARE FOR THE ORDERLY AND BALANCED FUTURE PLAN DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CITY.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MUST REFLECT COMMUNITY COMMITMENTS TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN, AND IT MUST IDENTIFY PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING, EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL OF ITS ELEMENTS.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS LAST ADOPTED IN 2008 IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND THAT WAS WITH ORDINANCE 2008-008 AND THE STATE THROUGH FLORIDA STATUTE 163 PROVIDES THAT EACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MUST HAVE SOME REQUIRED ELEMENTS, AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME OPTIONAL ELEMENTS.

SO THE CITY OF TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LISTED ON THE SLIDE, HAS THE FUTURE PLAN USED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION, THE CONSERVATION, TRANSPORTATION, SO ON AND SO FORTH.

THOSE ARE REQUIRED ELEMENTS THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA REQUIRES THAT WE MUST INCLUDE IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

NOW, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE MOST RECENT LEGISLATION, WE NOW MUST HAVE A PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT AS A REQUIRED ELEMENT.

SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT IS THAT WE INCLUDE IN OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT THIS EVENING IN SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS OF PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT IS INCLUDED IN STATE LAW AS A RECOMMENDATION FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO ADOPT.

SO BEFORE WE GET TO THE STATEMENT OF RIGHTS, JUST WANT TO QUICKLY GO OVER HOUSE BILL NUMBER 59, WHICH IS THE HOUSE BILL THAT'S NOW REQUIRING US TO ADOPT A PROPERTY RIGHT ELEMENTS.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH A POPULATION OVER TEN THOUSAND MUST ADOPT IT AND HAS TO BE ADOPTED PRIOR TO TRANSMITTED ANY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, BUT NO LATER THAN JULY 1ST, 2024.

THE STATE STATUTE PROVIDES A MODEL STATEMENT OF RIGHTS, WHICH A CITY OF TAMARAC IS PROPOSING TO ADOPT THIS EVENING.

AND THE GOAL OF THE PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT IS THAT THE CITY SHOULD RESPECT, JUDICIALLY AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECT PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS TO ENSURE THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE CONSIDERED IN LOCAL DECISION MAKING.

AND THAT'S REALLY THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL, IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE RESPECTING AND CONSIDERING PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS WHEN WE MAKE LOCAL DECISIONS ON LAND USE AND ZONING MATTERS AND SO ON.

SO THE CITY OF TAMARAC'S PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHT ELEMENT WILL INCLUDE THESE FOUR STATEMENTS, WHICH ARE RECOMMENDED AT A MINIMUM THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS NEED TO INCLUDE IN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT, AND THE FOUR STATEMENTS, I'LL READ THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY SHORT.

THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO PHYSICALLY POSSESS THE PROPERTY AND CONTROL HIS OR HER INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING EASEMENTS, LEASES OR MINERAL RIGHTS.

THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO USE, MAINTAIN, DEVELOP AND IMPROVE THE PROPERTY FOR PERSONAL USE OR THE USE OF ANOTHER SUBJECT TO STATE LAW AND LOCAL ORDINANCES.

THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO PRIVACY AND EXCLUSION OF OTHERS FROM THE PROPERTY TO PROTECT HIS OR HER POSSESSIONS AND PROPERTY, AND THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO DISPOSE OF HIS OR HER PROPERTY THROUGH SALE OR GIFT.

SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR EXHIBIT A THAT'S ATTACHED TO YOUR MEMO.

THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE TRANSMITTING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AS THE CITY OF TAMARAC PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT.

IT WILL INCLUDE THE COVER PAGE, WHICH WILL HAVE THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, AND THEN IT WILL INCLUDE THE ACTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT, WHICH OUTLINES THE CITY'S GOAL.

AND THEN THOSE FOUR STATEMENTS I JUST READ WILL BE POLICIES THAT THE CITY WILL BE ADOPTING AND WHICH WE NEED TO ADHERE TO GOING FORWARD.

THIS AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MEETS THE STANDARDS OUTLINED IN OUR CODE RELATIVE TO AMENDMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS FURTHER OUTLINED IN YOUR MEMORANDUM.

AND SO THIS EVENING, I'M PROPOSING ADOPTION OF THIS ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING FOR FORMAL TRANSMITTAL TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

[01:40:01]

FIRST, WE WILL GO TO THE AUDIENCE AND ASK IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO HAS ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

MR. WASSERMAN, PLEASE.

THREE MINUTES [INAUDIBLE].

JUST A BRIEF COMMENT.

THIS IS ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS.

I'M SORRY.

I LIVE AT 8577 J DRIVE, TAMARAC, 33321.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.

THIS IS ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS.

AND WHEN I SPOKE WITH YOU EARLIER, IT WAS ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS.

SO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND IT'S ALL OVER THE CITY.

ANYBODY ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

MR. WASSERMAN.

I AM NOT SEEING ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION.

ALL RIGHT, NOW WE ARE ON TO NUMBER SEVEN, PUBLIC HEARING TO2477 LAND USE MAP CHANGE 5601 NORTH HIATUS ROAD TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN POINT EIGHT TO GROSS ACRES OF LAND FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY TO READ THIS TITLE INTO THE RECORD.

I WILL GET A MOTION IN A SECOND ON THIS ITEM.

BEFORE THE PRESENTATION GOES.

I WILL THEN BRING IT OVER TO OUR QUASI-JUDICIAL ASK FOR THAT TITLE TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD.

I WILL THEN ASK FOR ANY BODY WHO HAS TO HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES TO DISCLOSE AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE EVERYBODY WHO WILL BE SPEAKING SWORN IN.

THAT IS CORRECT.

[INAUDIBLE] THE STATEMENT.

I HOPE TO REMEMBER THAT--GO AHEAD.

EXCELLENT.

SO WE WILL HAVE PRESENTATIONS BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE AND THEN TO THE COMMISSION.

SO MS. CALLOWAY, TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR, TRYING TO BRING UP MY PRESENTATION, I

[01:50:03]

WAS...

THERE WE GO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

MY PRESENTATION IS UP AND I'LL BEGIN.

AS MENTIONED, TONIGHT, WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE LAND USE AND REZONING IN MY PRESENTATION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5601 N HIATUS RD, WHICH IS AN INDUSTRIAL PROJECT.

THIS IS A SMALL SCALE LAND-USE PLAN AMENDMENT AS WELL AS A REZONING APPLICATION.

AND THEN THE REQUEST TONIGHT IS A SMALL-SCALE LAND-USE PLAN AMENDMENT AND A REZONING FOR AN EXISTING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5601 NORTH HIATUS ROAD.

THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS A VACANT TWO STOREY, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING.

THE PROPOSED USE IS A DISTRIBUTION FACILITY.

THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY IS COMMERCIAL.

AND WE'RE PROPOSING THIS EVENING TO CHANGE THAT TO INDUSTRIAL.

THE EXISTING ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS A MIXED USE CORRIDOR, WHICH IS MU-C BEING PROPOSED TO REZONE TO THE BUSINESS PARK DESIGNATION.

AND THIS IS IN COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2.

THIS IS A SLIDE OR AERIAL SHOWING THE PROPERTY ITSELF, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5601 NORTH HIATUS ROAD AND IS APPROXIMATELY TWELVE POINT FIVE, FIVE ACRES IN SIZE.

THE PROPERTY IS BOUNDED BY NORTH HIATUS ROAD TO THE EAST AND WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO THE SOUTH AND MADISON AVENUE TO THE WEST.

TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS [INAUDIBLE] ENTERPRISES, WHICH IS A CAR WASH EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER.

IT'S ZONED BP BUSINESS PARK WITH A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS A SELF SHELL GAS STATION, AND IT'S A VACANT PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE.

THAT PROPERTY IS ZONED THE CITY OF SUNRISE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

IT'S THEIR I-1 ZONING DESIGNATION.

IT ALSO HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL.

TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS N HIATUS ROAD IS THE GOLD COAST SCHOOLS IT'S A REAL ESTATE SCHOOL, A [INAUDIBLE] SPOT, AN URGENT CARE FACILITY, AND ALL OF THOSE USES ARE ZONED MU-C MIXED USE CORRIDOR WITH THE CITY OF TAMARAC FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL.

AND TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS MADISON AVENUE IS THE HAMPTON INN AND SUITES AND THE WOODSPRING SUITES HOTELS ZONED MU-C, WHICH IS OUR MIXED USE CORRIDOR WITH A FUTURE LAND-USE DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL.

JUST SOME BACKGROUND ON WHAT THIS PROPERTY WAS USED FOR, ON SEPTEMBER 27TH, THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION 2000-261, WHICH GRANTED A NEW DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT TWO STOREY OFFICE BUILDING WITH ASSOCIATED PARKING, LANDSCAPE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

AND ON NOVEMBER 16, 2001, THE NEW TWO STOREY OFFICE BUILDING RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

THE BUILDING WAS HOME TO THE CONVERGY'S CORPORATION, A TELEMARKETING SALES BUSINESS, UNTIL 2017.

AND THEN THE BUILDING WAS THEN VACANT FROM 2017 UNTIL 2019, WHEN IT WAS OCCUPIED AS A FEDERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, WHICH ASSISTED WITH THE 2020 U.S.

CENSUS.

THE FEDERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION OFFICE WAS REMOVED IN 2021, AND THE EXISTING BUILDING IS NOW CURRENTLY VACANT.

SO THIS IS A COPY OF OUR LAND USE MAP, THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION DOES NOT CURRENTLY ALLOW FOR INDUSTRIAL LAND USES.

AND SO THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION TO INDUSTRIAL TO ACCOMMODATE, OF COURSE, THE E-COMMERCE DISTRIBUTION CENTER.

ALSO, THIS IS OUR ZONING MAP, WHICH SHOWS THE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL.

THE EXISTING MIXED USE CORRIDOR ZONING CLASSIFICATION ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A DISTRIBUTION CENTER.

THEREFORE, A CHANGE TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC ZONING MAP TO BUSINESS PARK IS REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION CENTER PURSUANT TO THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT CHANGE, TOO, WOULD BE COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DESIGNATION THAT'S TO THE NORTH AS WELL.

ALSO, TO LEGALLY SUBSTANTIATE THE GRANTING OF THE DEPARTMENT REQUEST, THE APPLICANT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FILE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY TO OFFICIALLY AMEND THE EXISTING PLAT TO ALLOW FOR INDUSTRIAL USES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND FINALLY, AN APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR MAJOR SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION CENTER HAS BEEN SUBMITTED IN OUR OFFICE THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED.

THE APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE PLANNING

[01:55:03]

BOARD, AS WELL AS TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

AND WE EXPECT TO BRING THAT FORWARD SOMETIME LATER THIS YEAR.

SO AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A MATTER COMMITTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COMMISSION.

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES REVIEW STANDARDS THE CITY COMMISSION SHALL CONSIDER AND WEIGH THE RELEVANCE.

AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED LARGE SCALE OR SMALL SCALE IN THIS INSTANCE IS NECESSARY.

THERE ARE FIVE REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH ARE SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN.

AND IT'S ALSO PROVIDED IN THE MEMORANDUM.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE APPLICANT HAS COMPLIED WITH ALL THE REVIEWS STANDARD.

I'VE INCLUDED IN THE SLIDE, PARTICULARLY THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH IS YOUR FIRST STANDARD AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STANDARD.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, PUBLIC FACILITY IS AVAILABLE OR WILL BE PROVIDED AND IN MOST INSTANCES IS LESS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL THAN IT WOULD BE FOR THE COMMERCIAL.

AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID AS WELL FOR THE TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON, AS YOU KNOW, A TRAFFIC STUDY IS REQUIRED AS A PART OF THIS AND IT'S CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED AS A PART OF THE SITE PLAN.

BUT WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE GENERATION COMPARISON THAT SHOWS THAT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE LESS TRIPS THAN A COMMERCIAL LAND-USE.

LIKEWISE FOR THE REZONING STANDARDS, THE CODE PRESCRIBES CERTAIN STANDARDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR REZONING, ALL OF WHICH APPLICANT HAS MET.

WE ALSO WANTED TO INCLUDE FOR YOU THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, I KNOW AT THE LAST PLANNING BOARD MEETING WE HAD A PLANNING BOARD MEMBER [INAUDIBLE] IN TERMS OF WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BRING TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

AND SO WE ASKED THE APPLICANT TO PREPARE FOR US AN ECONOMIC IMPACT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE DOLLARS IN AD VALOREM TAXES THAT WOULD BE GENERATED BY THIS PROJECT, ONCE FULLY BUILT, ABOUT FORTY THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS IN REACQUIRING IN ANNUAL REVENUE.

AND THEN THE ONE TIME REVENUE FROM BUILDING PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES AND SO ON IS APPROXIMATELY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FROM THIS.

THE PROJECT ALSO SUPPORTS GOAL NUMBER FOUR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING, WHICH MEANS TAMARAC IS VIBRANT, IT WILL SUPPORT THAT.

IT ALSO SUPPORT VARIOUS POLICIES IN THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT'S IDENTIFIED ON YOUR SCREEN POLICY, ONE POINT FOUR, SEVEN POINT FOUR, TEN POINT EIGHT, SIXTEEN POINT ONE, AND TWENTY ONE POINT THREE OF THE CITY'S PLAN.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE PROJECT BE APPROVED TONIGHT FOR THE 19TH AMENDMENT AND THE REZONING, BOTH OF WHICH WOULD BE SUBJECT TO ONE CONDITION, AND THE APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS TO THE BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL TO RECERTIFY THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND SUPPLY A COPY OF THE APPROVED RECERTIFIED MAP TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT.

IT'S THE SAME CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE REZONING AS WELL.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION, AND THEN I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS DENNIS M.

200 E BROWARD BOULEVARD, FORT LAUDERDALE, ON BEHALF THE APPLICANT.

WE HAVE SOME SLIDES TO SHOW AS WELL, ALTHOUGH I WILL SKIP THROUGH SOME OF THEM BECAUSE MS. CALLOWAY ALREADY SHOWED A LOT OF THE SAME STUFF.

SO, AS THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID, I DON'T WANT TO BE REPETITIVE WITH MY EVIDENCE.

I'M JUST WAITING FOR HIM TO.

THERE WE GO.

SO THAT'S THE SITE.

THESE ITEMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REVIEWED, THE LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUESTS, THE REZONING REQUEST, THE ACREAGE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

HERE'S THE PROPERTY AGAIN, AND THIS IS ONE OF THESE FANCY POWERPOINT THINGS WHERE YOU SEE THE COLOR CHANGING FROM THE COMMERCIAL RED TO THE INDUSTRIAL LAVENDER, AND YOU SEE THAT PURPLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET AND SUNRISE IS THE SAME AS YOUR LAVENDER.

I GUESS THEY JUST LIKE THEIR COLORS A LITTLE BRIGHTER THERE.

BUT THAT'S ALL INDUSTRIAL IN SUNRISE AS WELL.

AND THEN THE SAME THING HERE WITH THE MU-C ZONING AND THEN CHANGES TO THE BP, NOW YOU NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE REST OF THE WHAT I THINK OF AS THE TAMARAC CORPORATE PARK AREA HAS THAT SAME BP ZONING.

SO WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE USES THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY TO OUR NORTH IN TERMS OF THE ZONING DISTRICT AND THEN JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE USES AROUND IT.

AND MS. CALLOWAY WENT OVER THESE, BUT IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, IT'S INTERESTING

[02:00:03]

BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, THEY HAVE COMMERCIAL LAND USE, BUT THEY HAVE BP ZONING.

BUT IT'S A MANUFACTURING USE.

THEIR MAIN MANUFACTURE'S THE SUPPLIER OF EQUIPMENT FOR CAR WASHES.

AND IN FACT, PRETTY MUCH ANYONE WHO BUILDS A CAR WASH IN SOUTH FLORIDA BUYS THEIR STUFF FROM SONNY'S.

HE'S VERY SUCCESSFUL AND DOES A GREAT JOB IN THE CAR WASH BUSINESS.

AND THEN YOU SEE, OF COURSE, THE COMMERCE PARK NORTH OF US AND ALL THE VARIOUS USES THERE.

AND THEN IN SUNRISE, THEIR INDUSTRIAL AREA GOES BASICALLY FROM NOB HILL TO THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY AND FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 44TH STREET.

THAT'S THE SUNRISE INDUSTRIAL PARK, WHICH IS SIMILAR IN SIZE TO YOUR TAMARAC CORPORATE PARK IN TERMS OF THE LAND AREAS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SITE TODAY.

AS MENTIONED, WE HAD A TEMPORARY TENANT IN THERE DURING THE TIME THAT THE CENSUS WAS BEING CONDUCTED, BUT OTHER THAN THAT TEMPORARY TENANT, YOU KNOW, THIS PROPERTY WAS VACANT FROM 2017 TO 2019 WHEN THE CENSUS BUREAU WENT IN, WHEN THE CENSUS BUREAU MOVED OUT, IT'S VACANT AGAIN.

AND SO THAT'S SHOWING YOU THE SITE.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS SITE, IT HAS EXCELLENT ACCESS.

IT'S BORDERED BY THREE STREETS, OF COURSE, HIATUS AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ARE PUBLIC STREETS.

AND THEN MADISON AVENUE IS A PRIVATE STREET.

THAT'S PART OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE TAMARAC CORPORATE PARK AREA.

JUST ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE BUILDING, IT'S THERE TODAY.

OH, THAT'S I'M SORRY, THAT'S THE WAREHOUSE USED AT SONNY'S TO OUR NORTH.

AND THEN THIS IS OUR PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT ON THE AGENDA WITH THE SAME PLAN TONIGHT, BUT AS MS. CALLOWAY MENTIONED, WE'RE IN THE DRC PROCESS NOW.

AND ONCE THAT'S FINISHED, WE'LL BE GOING TO THE PLANNING BOARD INTO THE CITY COMMISSION.

SO YOU SEE MADISON AVENUE ON THE LEFT, COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ON THE SOUTH, HIATUS ROAD ON THE RIGHT.

YOU SEE OUR TRUCK COURT.

SO THIS IS THE TYPE OF FACILITY THAT WE CALL A LAST MILE FACILITY.

THIS IS BASICALLY THE LAST PLACE THESE ITEMS ARE SENT UNTIL THEY'RE SENT TO YOUR HOME OR YOUR BUSINESS.

SO THIS IS BASICALLY SERVING DIRECTLY TO THE CONSUMER.

YOU SEE THE LITTLE VANS LINED UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO REVEAL WHO THE USER IS, BUT I THINK YOU CAN KIND OF FIGURE IT OUT JUST FROM LOOKING AT IT.

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE FOLKS FROM THE COMPANY DID COME AND MEET WITH SOME FOLKS HERE AT THE CITY.

I WASN'T PART OF THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, THE TRUCK COURTS YOU SEE ON THE LOWER LEFT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE ITEMS COME IN ON A LARGE TRUCK.

THEY'RE TAKEN INTO THE BUILDING, THEY'RE SORTED.

AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE READY TO BE DELIVERED, THEY GO OUT THE DOOR ON THE OTHER SIDE INTO THE VAN, AND THEN THE VAN TAKES THE ITEM TO THE PERSON'S HOME OR BUSINESS, THE PERSON WHO'S ORDERED IT.

WHAT WE CALL E-COMMERCE.

I'M SURE THEY HEARD THAT TERMINOLOGY BEFORE.

THE OTHER GOOD THING ABOUT IT IS WE'RE ABLE TO BUFFER HEAVILY ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, ALONG MADISON, A LONG HIATUS.

YOU SEE A LOT OF GREEN SPACE ALL ALONG THOSE EDGES.

AND THEN ALSO GREEN SPACE, OF COURSE, ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL.

THIS IS JUST A REPEAT OF WHAT MS. CALLOWAY SHOWED YOU IN TERMS OF IT'S A REDUCTION IN TRIPS AND THE MORNING RUSH HOUR, THE AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR AND ON A DAILY BASIS AS WELL.

SHE ALSO SHOWED SLIDES EARLIER THAT SHOWED THAT IT WAS A REDUCTION IN WATER AND SEWER CONSUMPTION.

AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN INCREASE IN SOLID WASTE GENERATION, THE CAPACITY IS THERE TO HANDLE IT.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC.

IN FACT, LET ME GO BACK.

FOR LAND-USE PURPOSES, WE COMPARE WHAT THE CURRENT LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION WOULD ALLOW YOU TO DO WITH WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TO DO.

SO YOU NOTICE THE COMPARISON IS A SHOPPING CENTER, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU COULD BUILD UNDER COMMERCIAL LAND USE.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT CURRENTLY A SHOPPING CENTER, IT'S AN OFFICE BUILDING.

I THOUGHT WE SHOULD SHOW THAT, TOO.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE.

SO EVEN IF YOU COMPARE WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO TO IF THE OFFICE BUILDING RE-OPENED AND WAS IN SERVICE AGAIN, IT WOULD STILL BE A REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC FROM THE OFFICE USE TO THE INDUSTRIAL USE.

AND THEN WHAT WE'RE SHOWING YOU AT THE TOP IS THIS TYPE OF LAST MILE FACILITY STRUCTURES THEIR SCHEDULE SO THAT THE VANS ARE NOT GOING OUT OR COMING BACK DURING RUSH HOUR.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A LOWER NUMBER OF AM AND PM PEAK TRAFFIC.

BUT AT THE BOTTOM, WE'RE SHOWING YOU, EVEN IF WE DIDN'T SEGREGATE OUR TRAFFIC DURING THE NON RUSH HOUR TIMES, EVEN IF WE JUST WENT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES, IT WOULD STILL BE A REDUCTION IN TRIPS FROM THE OFFICE BUILDING TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST THE TRIP DISTRIBUTION, YOU SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM DIFFERENT AREAS FROM THE NORTH OR SOUTH, EAST, THE WEST.

OBVIOUSLY, ONE OF OUR LARGEST NUMBERS ARE TRAFFIC COMING RIGHT OFF THE

[02:05:03]

SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF OUR LOCATION.

AND THIS IS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED, SHOWING YOU ALL THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS AND PERCENTAGES IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR.

SAME THING IN THE AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR.

AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A GREAT ROAD SYSTEM.

SO THIS IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE EVERYBODY'S COMING FROM ONE DIRECTION.

IN FACT, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS, WHICH IS A POSITIVE THING.

WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT TRAFFIC.

AGAIN, THESE ARE THE REVENUES; MS. CALLOWAY ALREADY SHOWED YOU THESE.

SO AT THAT POINT, JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAD OUR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING.

WE HAD A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION.

I THINK THERE WAS ONE NEGATIVE VOTE.

THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T SAY EXACTLY THE REASON.

BUT I KNOW ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT HE BROUGHT UP DURING THE DISCUSSION WAS A CONCERN OVER THE CONDITION OF ROADS IN THE AREA, WHETHER THE ROADWAYS ARE DETERIORATING AS SOMEONE MAINTAINING THEM AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE PROPERLY SURFACED AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE DO.

OF COURSE, FOR HIATUS AND COMMERCIAL, THOSE ARE PUBLIC ROADS, EITHER UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DOT OR THE COUNTY.

AND THEN MADISON AVENUE IS A PRIVATE ROAD THAT IS OPERATED BY THE ASSOCIATION WITHIN THE CORPORATE PARK.

I DROVE OVER THERE BEFORE THE MEETING JUST TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING.

AND MADISON AVENUE LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, HIATUS AND COMMERCIAL, YOU KNOW, LIKE HIATUS AND COMMERCIAL LOOK IN OTHER AREAS, TOO.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF THERE WAS A SPECIFIC LOCATION THE GENTLEMAN WAS CONCERNED ABOUT.

AT ANY RATE, HAVING SAID THAT, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON EITHER ITEM I NEED TO WRITE THEM THE LAND USE OR THE ZONING.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

AND IF THERE'S ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, I'D LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND AS APPROPRIATE.

SO NOW WE WILL OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I HEAR THAT LAUGH.

I RECOGNIZE IT, AND I BELIEVE IT COMES FROM MR. WASSERMAN.

COME ON DOWN.

DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? YES, SIR, I DO.

RONALD WASSERMAN, 8577 J DRIVE, 33321.

OK, SO ANOTHER WAREHOUSE.

AND TALKING ABOUT THE ROADS BEING REAL GOOD, I LIVE OFF A SOUTH GATE AND WE KNOW HOW THAT'S DETERIORATING.

AND A NUMBER OF OUR OTHER ROADS.

YOU KNOW THESE DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT WILL TRAVEL ON THE ROAD AND WHAT TIME, THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRUCKS COMING THROUGH OUR COMMUNITIES.

FROM HIATUS, FROM OTHER AREAS I LIVE OFF OF SOUTH GATE; IT WAS A QUIET ROAD AT ONE TIME AND LOTS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

SOMEONE RECENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT AMAZON PROPERTY.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

I'M THE ONLY CITIZEN IN HERE, I'M SURROUNDED BY ATTORNEYS AND PRIVATE INTERESTS.

SO THIS IS WHY I COME.

PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. WASSERMAN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS? SEEING NONE, PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

AND WE WILL NOW TURN TO THE COMMISSION.

CITY ATTORNEY, DO YOU--YES, MADAM MAYOR, IN ORDER OF PRIORITY, YOU SHOULD TAKE UP AND VOTE ON THE CONFERENCE PLAN AMENDMENT FIRST AND THEN TAKE UP THE REZONING MATTER.

WE'LL DO, BUT WE SEEM TO HAVE SOME COMMENTS FIRST.

SO WE'LL SAY THAT YOU SAID REZONING FIRST, QUASI-JUDICIAL.

NO, WE'RE GOING IN THE ORDER IN WHICH IS ON OUR--PUBLIC HEARING [INAUDIBLE] YOU GOT IT.

COMMISSIONER BOLTON THEN COMMISSIONER GELIN.

MS. CALLOWAY, WHO HAS THE DISSENTING VOTE ON THE PLANNING BOARD? YEAH, LET ME GET YOU THAT NAME IN JUST A MOMENT, COMMISSIONER.

[02:10:19]

DENNIS [INAUDIBLE], AGAIN, I REMEMBER IT WAS A GENTLEMAN AND I REMEMBER HE WAS SITTING WHERE COMMISSIONER PLACKO SITTING NOW.

BUT I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.

YEAH, I'M GETTING THE NAME, IF WE CAN JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION, I'M GETTING THE NAME; I'LL PROVIDE IT SHORTLY.

COMMISSIONER BOLTON, CAN YOU PROCEED, OR ARE THEY BASED ON THE NAME? I'LL WAIT ON MS. CALLOWAY.

SOUNDS GOOD.

SHE'S ASKED TO MOVE FORWARD.

OH, YOU CAN THEN GO TO ANOTHER COMMISSIONER BECAUSE THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION.

OK, WE WILL COME BACK TO COMMISSIONER BOLTON AND WE WILL GO TO COMMISSIONER GELIN.

CAN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SLIDE REGARDING THE ESTIMATED FINANCIAL IMPACT? LOOK AT MINE OR MAXINES? WE'LL, LOOK AT YOURS AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT HERS AS WELL.

YOU CAN START PULLING THAT UP, MS. CALLOWAY.

I THINK THEY HAVE TO SWITCH SOMETHING HERE.

WHILE THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT MR. [INAUDIBLE] WHAT'S THE ANTICIPATED NUMBER OF JOBS THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE CITY BASED ON THIS PROPOSED PROJECT? SO WE ESTIMATE APPROXIMATELY 100 JOBS WORKING IN THE BUILDING.

AND THEN ANOTHER ALMOST 100 WITH DRIVERS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE WORKING IN THE BUILDING AND THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE DRIVING THE VANS.

SO ROUGHLY 200 BETWEEN THE TWO COMPONENTS.

SO THERE WILL BE 100 VANS AS WELL? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE EXACT NUMBER OF VANS, BECAUSE REMEMBER, THERE'S DIFFERENT SHIFTS, RIGHT.

CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE WORKING MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, OTHER PEOPLE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

SO I DON'T THINK IT'S THE SAME NUMBER OF VANS AS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

ON THE SCREEN NOW, WE HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THAT'S MS. CALLOWAY'S PRESENTATION, SO I KNOW SHE HAS A SLIDE IN THERE FOR THE FISCAL IMPACT.

I KNOW WE HAVE ONE IN OURS, TOO, BUT SINCE HER PRESENTATION IS ALREADY UP, IT MIGHT BE EASIER.

WELL, IT WAS UP.

IT WAS THERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF YOU HAS CONTROL.

WELL, THE ONE THING I DO NOTICE IS YOUR EMPLOYEES SEEM TO BE VERY HAPPY, EVERYBODY'S SMILING.

MR. CALHOUN, MS. CALLOWAY, MR. WARNER, EVEN JACK, MR. STRAIN.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS MAYBE MORE FOR LEVENT.

CAN YOU TELL US WHO IS IN CONTROL? IS IT MR. [INAUDIBLE] OR MS. CALLOWAY? IF WE CAN'T FIND THE SLIDE, I HAVE A PAPER COPY OF IT HERE, AND I COULD CERTAINLY GO OVER THE NUMBERS.

DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT? SURE.

OK, THANK YOU.

SO IN THE ANNUAL REVENUE WE'RE SHOWING OVER--MAYBE SHE'S PULLING IT UP.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THE WRONG THING.

THERE WE GO.

GOT IT.

THAT'S IT.

THAT'S THE SAME THING I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY.

OH, THERE WE GO.

AND OF COURSE, THESE ARE ALL CITY OF TAMARAC FEES WE'LL OBVIOUSLY HAVE FEES AT THE COUNTY, WE WILL HAVE TAXES TO THE COUNTY, THE SCHOOL BOARD, THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, ALL THE REST OF THEM AS WELL.

THESE ARE CITY OF TAMARAC REVENUES.

OK, SO TAXES IS ONLY THE 177.

SO AFTER THE ONE TIME REVENUE, ALMOST 500000, THEN OUR EXPECTED ANNUAL REVENUE IS, I GUESS THE ONE SEVEN PLUS THE FORTY THREE.

RIGHT THE ANNUAL IS THE ONE SEVENTY SEVEN AND THE FORTY THREE.

AND OF COURSE, THOSE ARE ESTIMATES, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY APPRAISER IS GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE IT A VALUE.

THIS IS JUST OUR ESTIMATE.

OK, AND THEN THE ONE TIME REVENUES ARE, YOU KNOW, IMPACT FEES AND BUILDING PERMIT FEES.

ARE YOU ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE THE NAME OF THE APPLICANT? I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE THE NAME, BUT I THINK IF YOU REMEMBER THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SAW WITH ALL THE LITTLE VANS ON THE SIDE, I THINK YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS, BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES, ET CETERA.

[02:15:02]

I CAN'T SAY WHO IT IS.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE AVERAGE SALARY IS FOR THE JOBS THAT WILL BE IN THE BUILDING? SO FOR THIS TYPE IN THIS INDUSTRY AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS MINIMUM WAGES OF FIFTEEN DOLLARS AN HOUR IN THIS CURRENT AND THEN A FULL BENEFIT PACKAGE, HEALTH INSURANCE USUALLY STARTS DAY ONE OF EMPLOYMENT.

ALSO, TUITION REIMBURSEMENT IF YOU'RE GOING BACK FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION.

BY THE WAY, THE CONTINUING EDUCATION YOU'RE GETTING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS THE JOB YOU'RE DOING.

IN OTHER WORDS, MANY PEOPLE, WHILE THEY'RE WORKING, GO TO SCHOOL.

WHEN THEY GRADUATE, THEY LEAVE AND GO TO A BIGGER JOB, A BETTER JOB, MORE MONEY, WHATEVER.

SO AND THEY'RE NOT LIMITED IN THAT WAY.

AND THEN SO THE JOBS BOTH IN THE BUILDING AND THE DRIVING JOBS WILL BE 15 DOLLAR AN HOUR JOBS? THAT'S CORRECT.

A QUESTION FOR OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.

MS. CALLOWAY.

OH, LORD.

I THINK YOU SAID ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, I THINK IS LAURIE, BUT WHILE I'M SPEAKING, THE DISSENTING VOTE WAS DAVID MONTFORD.

AND WE'LL GO BACK TO COMMISSIONER BOLTON AFTER COMMISSIONER GELIN.

HI, COMMISSIONER GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MS. FUNDERWHITE.

GOOD EVENING.

SO AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, IT'S YOUR ROLE TO BRING JOBS INTO THE COMMUNITY, IS THAT RIGHT? ONE OF THE ROLES.

ONE OF THE ROLES, YES.

OK, AND IS THIS A DESIRE TYPE OF ORGANIZATION THAT WE WOULD FIND VALUABLE IN TERMS OF BRINGING IN? EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE COULD AFFORD MARKET RENTS AND WINE AND DINE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS AN HOUR, CERTAINLY.

THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT AS WELL.

TYPICALLY IN AN ORGANIZATION, THAT TYPICALLY WOULD BE THE STARTING POINT.

AND COMMISSIONER, WHEN YOU WERE ASKING ME ABOUT THE SALARIES, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE STARTING SALARY.

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WORKING IN THE BUILDING IN MORE OF A MANAGEMENT POSITION THAT ARE MAKING MORE MONEY.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW, REVIEWING SOME QUESTIONS I HAVE.

SOME NOTES THAT I HAVE.

WE WILL NOW GO BACK TO COMMISSIONER BOLTON.

REPEAT THE NAME AND THE DISTRICT, MS. CALLOWAY.

DAVID MONTFORD AND JEN, IF YOU COULD JUST DO ME A FAVOR AND JUST DOUBLE CHECK JUST TO SEE WHAT DISTRICT HE--COMMISSIONER PLACKO WAS SAYING HE'S IN DISTRICT FOUR.

OK, COMMISSIONER, PLACKO.

HE'S DONE.

COMMISSIONER GELIN ASKED A COUPLE OF THE QUESTIONS, BUT I'M GOING TO PIGGYBACK A LITTLE BIT.

OF THESE 100 OR SO JOBS I'VE REQUESTED BEFORE I WILL REQUEST AGAIN THAT TAMARAC RESIDENTS GET A PRIORITY.

WHAT WE'VE DONE MANY TIMES IN THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES IS BEFORE WE'RE READY TO OPEN AND START HIRING.

WE'LL REACH OUT TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FIRST.

MANY TIMES WE FIND WHETHER IT'S THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OR SOME OTHER GROUP THAT CAN HELP US CONNECT TO LOCAL PEOPLE.

BUT YES, WE WOULD DO THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, I'M SORRY, ONE MORE QUESTION.

WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO START BUILDING AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? SO WE HAVE SOME PERMITTING TO GO THROUGH.

WE HAVE, OF COURSE, THIS LAND USE AMENDMENT AND REZONING.

AND LUCKILY, WE DO NOT HAVE A COUNTY LAND USE AMENDMENT BECAUSE AS THE MAYOR KNOWS FROM HER TIME ON THE PLANNING COUNCIL, THE COUNTY HAS NOW MERGED OFFICE, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTO ONE CATEGORY CALLED COMMERCE.

BUT I THINK WE PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER 12 MONTHS MAYBE.

GENE, COME ON.

HELP ME.

I'LL GET MY CLIENT TO TELL ME THE ANSWER SO I CAN TELL YOU AND MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'D BE STARTING CONSTRUCTION EARLY NEXT YEAR.

IT'LL TAKE ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO BUILD IT.

I SHOULD SAY DEMOLITION AND BUILD.

THANKS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE THINGS TO TEAR OUT, THINGS TO PUT IN.

[02:20:04]

MR. [INAUDIBLE] THE FIRM THAT YOU'RE REPRESENTING, ARE YOU ALSO REPRESENTING THEM IN OTHER CITIES? I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME PROJECTS GOING ON IN CORAL SPRINGS SUNRISE.

COMMISSIONER GELIN.

AND I BELIEVE THE COUNTY IS HAS OFFERED SOME LAND TO THIS ORGANIZATION.

DO YOU REPRESENT THEM IN THOSE MATTERS? SO IT'S INTERESTING.

I REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

GENERALLY, WHAT HAPPENS, AND, FOR EXAMPLE, GENE BUCKLEY WHO'S HERE WITH ME TODAY IS WITH TPA OUT OF ATLANTA.

SO TPA WILL BUY THE PROPERTY--SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE.

I'M SORRY, I HAVE A HARDER TIME HEARING, SO I GO OUT THERE.

SO GENE'S GROUP WILL BUY THE PROPERTY, THEY'LL BUILD A BUILDING, AND THEN THE COMPANY WILL COME IN AS A TENANT.

SO THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE ASKING ME, I AM ACTUALLY WORKING ON A NUMBER OF THOSE PROJECTS IN SUNRISE, UNINCORPORATED BROWARD.

IN EACH CASE, I REPRESENT SOMEONE WHO'S IN THE SAME POSITION AS GENE'S FIRM.

I DON'T REPRESENT THE OUTFIT WHO ULTIMATELY COMES IN, ALTHOUGH IN MANY OF THOSE CASES, THE OUTFIT THAT'S COMING IN IS THE SAME OUTFIT.

OK, AND THE OUTFIT THAT'S COMING IN IS NOT GOING TO ACQUIRE THE NEW BUILDING, THE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY? I'M SORRY, WOULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN.

THE OUTFIT THAT'S COMING IN, ARE THEY GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO PURCHASE OR LEASE THE BUILDING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE BUILT? WE ANTICIPATE IT'LL BE A LEASE.

I GUESS THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION.

I GUESS, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

I MEAN, THIS IS JUST A LAND USE AMENDMENT THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US TODAY, AND WE CAN ASK MORE DETAILED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT LATER ON.

SO DO YOU ALSO REPRESENT THE PERSON THAT'S BUILDING THE BUILDING? RIGHT HERE.

OK, SO, SIR, COMMISSIONER BOLTON, AND I WERE AT A CONFERENCE IN ORLANDO, THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES, WHERE ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE COME SIT IN FRONT OF EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS ABOUT BEST PRACTICES THAT WE SHOULD DO AS CITY COMMISSIONERS IN HOLDING BUSINESSES ACCOUNTABLE.

AND ONE OF THE SEMINARS HAD TO DO WITH THE CLIMATE AND CHANGE THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE.

AND THE FACT THAT AS COMMISSIONERS, WE REALLY SHOULD BE HOLDING BUSINESSES TO HIGHER STANDARDS AND ASKING THAT BUILDINGS BE LEED CERTIFIED.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMITMENT TO HAVING EFFICIENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE LEED CERTIFIED? GENE BUCKLEY, 1776 PEACHTREE STREET, NORTHEAST, AND THE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED AND BUILT IN A VERY EFFICIENT WAY.

THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY DESIGNATIONS THAT ARE BEING SOUGHT, BUT THROUGH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION EFFICIENCIES WILL BE SOUGHT AFTER.

AND EVEN THOUGH MR. BUCKLEY DIDN'T SAY IT, THERE MUST BE 15 STREETS IN ATLANTA NAMED PEACHTREE.

HE'S ON ONE OF THEM.

ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THOSE JOBS.

WILL THOSE DRIVERS BE EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY THAT WILL BE COMING ON? GENERALLY, THE DRIVERS ARE EMPLOYED SEPARATELY; THEY'RE EMPLOYED BY LOGISTICS FIRMS, AND THEN THEY CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE.

OK, SO A BIG NAME COMPANY WILL NOT DIRECTLY EMPLOY THE DRIVERS? THEY NORMALLY DO NOT.

ALL RIGHT, BUT THE JOBS THAT WILL BE IN THE BUILDING, THEY WILL EMPLOY THOSE FOLKS? THAT'S CORRECT.

BUT THE FOLKS THAT ARE THE DRIVERS WILL ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE SAME BENEFITS AS THE FOLKS IN THE BUILDING.

I KNOW THEY HAVE THE SAME SALARY LEVELS THAT I DESCRIBED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE BENEFITS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

THANK YOU, SEEING THAT, THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, AND THIS IS LAND USE AND ZONING.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO NOW CALL THE QUESTION FOR THE FIRST ITEM.

AS A REMINDER, THIS IS TO2477.

THE LAND USE MAP CHANGE.

THE MOTION PASSES FOUR TO ONE.

NOW WE WILL VOTE ON THE QUASI-JUDICIAL.

TO2478 REZONING OF 5601 NORTH HIATUS ROAD.

WANT ME TO READ THE WHOLE THING? THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH? OKAY.

CITY CLERK, PLEASE, CALL THE ROLL.

THE MOTION PASSES FOUR TO ONE.

[02:25:01]

APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO 8 (B.) ON OUR...

8 (A.) SECOND READING HAS BEEN MOVED TO QUASI-JUDICIAL.

DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THE QUASI-JUDICIAL FIRST SINCE WE'RE IN A QUASI-JUDICIAL MODE? CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER, DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE? I THINK THAT FOR EASE OF THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY'S BEEN SWORN IN AND THAT WE WERE ALREADY IN THAT PROCESS IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SECOND QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR AGENDA, WHICH, IF YOU WISH, I CAN READ INTO THE RECORD AT THIS POINT.

YES, THAT WOULD NOW BE NINE A, WHICH IS TO2476 ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE WOODLANDS

[8.a. TO2476 - Ordinance Extending the Woodlands Overlay District Termination Date to Sunset and Terminate, Nunc Pro Tunc, Four (4) Years After the Effective Date of the Land Development Code]

OVERLAY DISTRICT TERMINATION DATE TO SUNSET AND TERMINATE [INAUDIBLE] FOUR YEARS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

CITY ATTORNEY, PLEASE READ THE TITLE FOR THE RECORD.
