PUBLIC HEARINGS – CHANGE OF USE

None

PUBLIC HEARINGS

APPLICATION 00-R-130, MOGERMAN, O’LEARY & PATEL, III BY PRAKESH PATEL

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

Ordinance 2000/040

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH REZONING A .319 ACRE PARCEL FROM RM-25 (RESIDENTIAL, MULTI-FAMILY) TO B-1 (COMMUNITY BUSINESS), SAID PARCEL DESCRIBED AS LOTS 8 AND 23, BLOCK 5 OF OCEAN VUE, MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN THE FILE, LOCATED AT 312 N.E. 20TH AVENUE; CONTAINING A PROVISION FOR REVISION OF THE CITY ZONING MAP; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; CONTAINING AN EFFECTIVE DATE

Dennis Mele said the Planning and Zoning Board approved this rezoning, and also the site plan that is part of H-6, at their last meeting.

Commissioner Noland wants on the record that Mr. Mele and the people that he represents, Mogerman, O’Leary and Patel, have met with Materies and are very happy with what is going on.

James Higgins, 325 NE 20 Avenue, stated he had written a letter and mailed copies to each commissioner and also delivered copies to the City Clerk’s office. The letter was a revision from the letter that was sent to Planning and Zoning. Mr. Higgins supports the beach redevelopment program, but does not support the rezoning of the proposed Ordinance 2000/040. The property is directly in front of his home. He would like, and thinks he has a right to know, the intended use of the property before the ordinance is passed. He suggested a variance rather than a rezoning. He does not want to see the property rezoned for commercial use.

Mayor Capellini said a variance was a good idea, however conditional variances cannot be issued because there has to be a hardship shown.

Barry Gorsen, 333 NE 21 Avenue, agrees Mr. Higgins property is relevant; however, 1/3 of the 176 families, which he represents, look directly at the parking lot. A second third of the 176 families indirectly look at the parking lot. Mr. Gorsen urges the approval of the rezoning. He thinks this area needs some attention and it will be an improvement.

Will Derian, who owns property and runs a business on the beach, met Michael O’Leary this past year. He says Mr. O’Leary has attended all of the CRA meetings and investigated the potentials for the property in question, which is known as a blighted area and needs a lot of attention. He feels the company (Mogerman, O’Leary and Patel) is a good company and is in favor of the rezoning.

Mike O’Leary, Mogerman, O’Leary and Patel, thanked both citizens in favor and not in favor for speaking their positions. The properties north of the pier need some help and their hope is to build some low density type of activity that would improve the beach area. They have been moving their financial interest from the Ft. Lauderdale area to Deerfield Beach where they feel the city is moving in the direction for the future with a responsible development plan. He thanked the commission for the opportunity to speak and hopes that they support the rezoning.

A motion to close the public hearing was made by Commissioner Trinchitella and seconded by Commissioner Noland. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

Commissioner Noland thanks Mogerman, O’Leary and Patel for coming into our community and offering to improve it.

Motion to approve was made by Commissioner Noland and was seconded by Commissioner Trinchitella. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, and Vice Mayor Shaddow. NAYS: Mayor Capellini.

AMEND TREE PRESERVATION

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

ORDINANCE NO. 2000/041

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH AMENDING SECTION 98-81 OF THE DEERFIELD BEACH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATING TO TREE PRESERVATION; CONTAINING A PROVISION FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY CODE, CONTAINING A PROVISION FOR SEVERABILITY; CONTAINING AN EFFECTIVE DATE

PROHIBIT FEEDING OF WILD BIRDS

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

ORDINANCE NO. 2000/042

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH CREATING A NEW SECTION OF THE CITY CODE PROHIBITING THE FEEDING OF WILD BIRDS ON THE BEACH; CONTAINING A PROVISION FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY CODE; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; CONTAINING AN EFFECTIVE DATE

Mayor Capellini asked why are we providing an ordinance only for the beach.

Commissioner Noland asked for the ordinance due to numerous complaints from hotel and motel owners. The complaint is that there are people every morning feeding many pigeons and sea gulls.

Barry Gorsen asked about the sidewalk adjacent to the beach. The commission responded that the ordinance included the sidewalk as well.

James Higgins can not imagine why there would be an ordinance prohibiting feeding of wild birds. Old people and small children enjoy feeding the birds.

Commissioner Noland said the beaches at Pompano Beach were closed because of a bacteria that the birds carried.

Mr. Higgins said he has always fed birds and had never heard of a problem.

William Jeffers is against feeding all wild animals.

A motion to close the public hearing was made by Commissioner Noland and seconded by Vice Mayor Shaddow. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

To plat 5.919 acres to be known as Hillsboro Commerce Park located at 232-288 S. W. 12^th Avenue.

APPLICATION 92-B1-105 REVISION 1 AND CASE NO. 1745, KOSTAS & KATHY ALEXOPOULOS D/B/A MIAMI SUBS

To modify the existing site plan to remove the use restriction on 2,050 square feet of floor area; AND seeking a Variance from Section 18-143 of the Deerfield Beach City Code to allow more than 14 amusement games in a building that is less than 10,000 square feet in size; and seeking a Technical Deviation for 14 parking spaces in accordance with the provisions of Section 98-88 (q) of the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code at 3317 West Hillsboro Blvd.

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

Gerald Ferguson, Director of Planning and Growth Management, stated this was approved by the commission in 1992 subject to keeping a certain amount of space vacant in the building. Ownership has changed and they are requesting a removal of that restriction so the space can be used to expand their existing amusement game area.

No further comments from the public.

A motion to close the public hearing was made by Commissioner Noland was seconded by Vice Mayor Shaddow. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

There was discussion among the commissioners as to rather they could have less games. Mayor Capellini is concerned that if they should sell their business the new owners could come in and make the establishment a video game place rather than a restaurant that happens to have video games. His suggestion is to allow the change of use with the condition that if they were to sell there has to be a provision that the new owners also serve food.

Commissioner Shaddow suggested if they sell that it be non-assignable to the new owner.

All commissioners and the owners of the business agreed.

A motion to approve was made by Vice Mayor Shaddow and seconded by Commissioner Noland. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

APPLICATION 00-RM25-64 AND CASE NO. 1738 BERTRAM WASSERMAN BY JACK HAWK

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

Application 00-RM25-64 and Case No. 1738 Bertram Wasserman by Jack Hawk

To convert an existing apartment building into an 8-unit motel; AND seeking 8 VARIANCES from the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code: (1) from the provisions of Section 98-61 to allow 20% minimum landscaped area rather than 25% as required by Code; (2) from the provisions of Section 98-73(3) to allow an existing shuffleboard court to be located 8 inches from the south property line rather than 10 feet as required by Code; (3) from the provisions of Section 98-73(3) to allow an existing patio to be located 1 foot 4 inches from the east property line and 2 feet 4 inches and 0 feet from the north property line rather than 5 feet as required by Code; (4) from the provisions of Section 98-80(b)(1) in order to allow no perimeter landscape buffer along S.E. 7^th Street rather than a 10-foot wide buffer as required by Code; (5) from the provisions of Section 98-80(b)(2) in order to allow no perimeter landscape buffer along the north property line rather than a 5-foot wide buffer as required by Code; (6) from the provisions of Section 98-80(b)(2) in order to allow a 3-foot 8-inch wide perimeter landscape buffer along the east property line rather than 5 feet as required by Code; (7) from the provisions of Section 98-88(e) in order to allow parking which will necessitate that vehicles back into the right-of-way (the Code requires off-street parking with no backing into the right-of-way); AND (8) from the provisions of Schedule C in order to allow said parking spaces to be 12 feet long rather than 20 feet as required by Code; AND also seeking CONDITIONAL USE approval in accordance with the provisions of Section 98-49(c)(1) of the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code in order to convert the apartments into a motel. Property is located at 696 S. E. 20^th Avenue.

Jack Hawk addressed landscaping and parking. They are trying to meet and comply with the code.

Previous owner made changes upstairs from a family unit to several apartments.

Commissioner Noland asked when the property was purchased was he aware of the changes to the property.

Mr. Wasserman wasn’t aware that permits had not been pulled for the changes.

Commissioner Noland is concerned that he bought the property without properly checking the records in regards to permits. She is also concerned that too many items needs to be addressed before going further with a conversion of the property. Are there fire walls between the apartments? Is the electric up to standards?

Mayor Capellini asked if he was in compliance with fire rated walls. If the building is brought up to code electrically and structurally they would be more likely to approve the non-conforming use.

There was discussion that if they went back to a six unit as opposed to an eight unit that they would still be in non-compliance with regard to landscaping, parking, etc. Commissioner Shaddow asked if time is an issue.

Wasserman replied that it may be.

Mayor Capellini suggested it be tabled it for now and see what can be done to bring the building up to code before deciding the outcome.

A motion to continue to a date uncertain was made by Commissioner Noland and seconded by Clarke-Reed. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

APPLICATION 00-B1-150 AND CASE NO. 1725 MOGERMAN, O’LEARY & PATEL, III BY PRAKESH PATEL

Mayor Capellini advised this was the time and place scheduled for a public hearing on the following:

Application 00-B1-150 and Case No. 1725 Mogerman, O’Leary & Patel, III by Prakesh Patel

To demolish existing commercial and residential buildings and construct a 99-space parking lot; AND seeking 3 VARIANCES from the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code: (1) from the provisions of Schedule C in order to allow parking spaces to be 9 feet wide rather than 10 feet wide as required by Code; (2) from the provisions of Section 98-80(c) in order to allow terminal landscape islands to be 4 feet wide (at the narrowest point) rather than 10 feet wide as required by Code; and to allow one interior landscape island 8.1 feet wide by 162 feet long rather than five landscape islands 10 feet wide by 18 feet long as required by Code; AND (3) from the provisions of Section 98-77(3) in order to allow a 20-foot wide landscape buffer along the north property line (abutting residentially- zoned property) rather than a 6-foot CBS wall as required by Code. Property located at 301 N .E. 20^th Avenue.

Dennis Mele, on behalf of the applicant, said the site plan complies with the code requirement.

James Higgins, 325 NE 20 Avenue, believes the proposal is very attractive and if it were to stay that way (as planned) for twenty years he would be very happy with that. However, even though there are added trees and added landscaping he is concerned that they may deviate from the plan. If a piece of property is zoned for a particular use the board is not supposed to be able to dictate the use of that property. He is however in favor of the proposal.

Susan Pietra owns property at 1979 NE 3 Street (resides at 1375 SW 12 St, Boca Raton) which is directly west of the property in question. She asked that if they want a variance to decrease the size of the parking space, was the code originated to help insure against property damage. Also, there should be no access in or out on the west side of the property. Will property be open for 24 hour for parking?

A motion to close the public hearing was made by Commissioner Trinchitella was seconded by Commissioner Noland. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

A motion to approve was made by Commissioner Noland and seconded by Vice Mayor Shaddow. Roll call showed: YEAS: Commissioner Clarke-Reed, Commissioner Noland, Commissioner Trinchitella, Vice Mayor Shaddow, and Mayor Capellini. NAYS: None.

COMMENTS BY MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Noland questioned her fellow commissioners regarding Mr. Diamond’s concern of the feeding of sharks. Mayor Capellini was under the impression there was a letter to be written under his signature. Commissioner Noland said a letter had never been written and this is a serious matter. There needs to be a follow. Mayor Capellini said he would follow up with a letter the next day.

PUBLIC TO BE HEARD

Angela Comotto thanked everyone who voted against the beach park. She asked the commissioners to listen to the voters. We do not want a parking garage on the main beach or have it used for commerce.

Gene Ash, 960 Crystal Lake Drive, spoke of the noise of jet skis and the aircraft at Crystal Lake.

Mayor Capellini replied the city is in the process of negotiating for the lake. Once we are in possession of it, the city can put restrictions on the noise. Commissioner Shaddow thought Larry Deetjen was going to follow up on this matter.

Mr. Ash replied that Mr. Deetjen was supposed to get back with him, but did not.

Commissioner Shaddow thinks we need to get code enforcement to look into the allegations. Mr. Ash should give her times when the jet skis and seaplanes are present.

Mr. Ash is worried about possible lawsuits should there be an accident.

ADJOURNMENT

The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 PM.
