AT THIS TIME, BOTH SEE THE IS IT THE CITY OF TAMARACS PRESENTATION FIRST.
AWESOME. THE APPLICANT PRESENTS FIRST, MADAM CHAIR.
OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS DENNIS MEALY, 200 EAST BROWARD BOULEVARD, FORT LAUDERDALE, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. AND WE HAVE SOME SLIDES TO SHOW.
I'D SAY IT WAS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO OR SO. SO YOU SEE THAT BUILDING JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE PARCEL WITH THE STAR? THAT'S THE BUILDING WE DID A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ACROSS THE STREET WHERE WE WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS.
SO THEN JUST ZEROING IN ON THE PROPERTY A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS A REAL ESTATE SCHOOL THAT I GUESS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS.
THE BUILDING'S VACANT, AND WE'RE PROPOSING TO REDEVELOP THE SITE.
WE'VE MET WITH ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS AROUND THE SITE, THE CHURCH TO THE EAST AND THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS THAT ARE AROUND US TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH. HAD VERY GOOD REACTION FROM ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS.
SO AGAIN, JUST WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA, SO ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, OF COURSE, THAT'S IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE. AND THEN THE NORTH SIDE OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.
AND AS MENTIONED IN THAT AREA BETWEEN HIATUS AND MADISON AVENUE JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE SITE, THAT'S WHERE WE TOOK AN OLD OFFICE BUILDING AND REDEVELOP THE SITE WITH THE WAREHOUSE BUILDING YOU SEE THERE NOW.
[00:10:02]
WENT THROUGH THIS EXACT SAME PROCESS OF AMENDING THE LAND USE MAP AND REZONING THE PROPERTY, JUST LIKE WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY. SO THERE ARE SEVERAL APPLICATIONS WE FILED.YOU WILL SEE US ALSO FOR THE SITE PLAN. ROB, DOES THE PLATT AMENDMENT COME TO THE PLANNING BOARD OR JUST COMMISSION? NO, DENNIS, IT'S JUST AN ADMINISTRATIVE LETTER THAT'S PROVIDED FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT.
SO THEN YOU'LL SEE US AGAIN IN THE FUTURE FOR THE SITE PLAN.
THE ONLY REASON THE SITE PLAN IS NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY.
IT TAKES LONGER TO PREPARE IT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT MORE DRAWINGS INVOLVED.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO AGAIN FOR THE ZONING WHICH IS ITEM B THE CURRENT IS MU-C.
IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIATUS. WE'RE INTRODUCING IT NOW ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIATUS.
THIS IS OF COURSE, THE INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL SECTION OF TAMARAC ALONG THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO WHEN WE DO A LAND USE AMENDMENT IS WE LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON FACILITIES AND SERVICES TO SEE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE MORE IMPACT THAN THE CURRENT CATEGORY OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE LESS.
AND SO THE GOOD NEWS HERE, YOU SEE THAT BY CHANGING FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL, WE REDUCE THE DEMAND ON WATER, SEWER, THE GENERATION OF SOLID WASTE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE REDUCE TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE COMMERCIAL WOULD GENERALLY HAVE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE INDUSTRIAL. SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN, WHICH AGAIN IS NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.
I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THE ACCESS FROM HIATUS BOULEVARD OR FROM HIATUS ROAD RATHER, AND THE CROSS ACCESS THAT ALREADY EXISTS TO THE PROPERTY AT THE SOUTH, WHICH WE'RE PRESERVING. AND THEN I KNOW THERE'S SO MANY OF THESE SYMBOLS ON HERE, BUT THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HEAVILY LANDSCAPING THE AREA SO THAT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING BY, OR EVEN WHEN YOU'RE IN THE SITE, THAT IT HAS A VERY ATTRACTIVE LOOK THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN DETAIL, WHICH, AGAIN, WILL BE MORE RELEVANT WHEN WE'RE BACK IN THE FUTURE FOR THE SITE PLAN.
AND THEN WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THE BUILDINGS AGAIN, NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY, BUT THEY WILL BE WHEN WE COME IN WITH THE SITE PLAN, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE BUILT ACROSS THE STREET, ALTHOUGH THIS BUILDING IS A LITTLE SMALLER BECAUSE THE SITE IS A LITTLE SMALLER THAN THE SITE ACROSS THE STREET. AND THEN HERE'S RENDERINGS SHOWING YOU WHAT THE BUILDINGS WILL LOOK LIKE A VERY MODERN LOOK.
YOU KNOW, IN KEEPING WITH THE REST OF THE CORPORATE PARK IN TAMARAC AND IN FACT, MY CLIENT, MALCOLM BUTTERS AND ADAM VAISMAN WERE SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW, HAVE BUILT A NUMBER OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THAT AREA OF TAMARAC.
THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR, I THINK, OVER 30 YEARS, 40, OVER 40 YEARS.
SO AT ANY RATE, THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE FOR PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AT THIS MOMENT, THE CITY OF TAMARAC.
