IV-D.3 Uses Excluded from Zoning Regulations - Request to amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Sections
6.D.1 and 8.A. 1 to provide for commercial uses that are not specifically listed as
permitted or conditional use in any other zoning district
Attorney Cherof advised that Item IV-D.3 does not require Commission approval at this time since it will
come back to the Commission in the form of an Ordinance. It was agreed that this item would be
removed from the June 20th agenda and the Ordinance will appear on the July 5th City Commission
agenda for first reading.
IV-E. Approve the extension of the land development permit issued June 9, 1998 for East
Ridge PUD for one year from the 21-month expiration date (or March 8, 2001)
Quintus Greene, Director of Development/CRA, explained that this project was up for foreclosure. In an
effort to eliminate the possibility of the City being perceived as being an obstacle, we granted the
applicant a 90-day extension to their building permit.
Attorney Cherof recommended conditioning the extension upon an extended Letter of Credit. He pointed
out that there would be enough time available between this meeting and Tuesday night's meeting for the
applicant to secure that extended Letter of Credit. Dale Sugerman, Assistant to the City Manager, agreed
to work with Diane Reese, Finance Director, on this issue.
· V-A.
CRA Review of Pond "B" Pavilion (Discussion from June 14, 2000 CRA Meeting)
Staff will provide answers to the five questions posed by the CRA.
Vice Mayor Weiland advised that he had received telephone calls relative to the uses that will be allowed
in the gazebo. He questioned whether an outline of the permitted uses would be proposed.
Mayor Broening explained that the public must be informed that the gazebo will provide aesthetics for a
utilitarian item. Mr. Sugerman further explained that the initial intent of this gazebo during a staff-
planning meeting two years ago was passive recreation.
Commissioner Black was opposed to discussing the uses of this gazebo during the upcoming meeting.
He explained that this Commission's input was not sought on this particular item. At this point, the
Commission needs to move forward with staff's recommendations. However, the Commission must be
informed as to the reasons for staff's recommendations. Commissioner Black is happy with the design of
the gazebo and envisions it for passive recreation and strolling. However, his opinion is not etched in
stone and in the future a special-events permit could be tied to its use.
Mr. Bressner felt that this facility would be functional for parties, weddings, concerts, etc. It would not
be difficult accommodating those uses in the gazebo. He questioned whether the Commissioners were
satisfied that the design represented South Florida. He also questioned whether the facility, as designed,
would meet the City's needs.
· VIII-B. Update of Enforcement of Non-conforming Signs (Establish a Date)
This item will be addressed at the August 1, 2000 City Commission meeting. The item will appear as
"Status of Enforcement of Nonconforming Freestanding Signs with Update on Wall Sign Tnventory Work".

3UNE 15f 2000
Mr. Rumpf advised that an inventory exists of the freestanding signs; however, he is unaware of whether
an inventory was ever made of nonconforming wall signs. Mr. Rumpf was uncertain that staff could
develop a list of nonconforming walls sign by August Ist,
Commissioner Fisher questioned whether the inventory could be developed for the Federal Highway
corridor by August Ist, When he asked if the City could begin enforcement along the Federal Highway
corridor, Attorney Cherof explained that all nonconforming signs are in violation. City administration has
the authority to select signs from any locations for enforcement.
Mr. Bressner said he would include an item on a future agenda that reads, "Proposal for Enforcement of
Nonconforming Freestanding Signs". Attorney Cherof added that the Commission could set the priorities
with respect to where administration would use its resources.
Mayor Broening recommended that the Commission instruct staff to enforce the Ordinance. Staff would
determine the appropriate places for enforcement. Commissioner Fisher disagreed and felt that because
Federal Highway is an important corridor of development, the City's limited resources should be focussed
in that area.
, V~II-D. Report on Bids for Ocean Avenue Promenade - July 5, 2000
IVlr. Bressner reported that a recommendation with respect to the Ocean Avenue Promenade bids would
be presented at the .luly 5th meeting. The recommendation will cover areas of concern as follows:
The overall cost of the improvement relative to the original engineering
estimates. A representative of the engineering consulting firm will be present at
the meeting to review the difference between the two bids.

revenues;
3. Presentation of a prospective time lime for the completion of the project; and
,,
Discussion with respect to planned staff support for the project with a person
assigned as a liaison to the business community.
Mr. Bressner pointed out that a decision would have to be made regarding the location of G.A.L.A.
V]:]:T-E. Report on Tmplementation Options for Stormwater Fee Structure covering CBD Area
tributary to Pond "B"
Mr. Bressner reported that some of the property owners in the CBD have raised questions about how
improvements to their property would be impacted by the stormwater supplemental fee for using Pond
"B'. Staff will refine this and request policy direction. Mr. Bressner said this item would appear on the
July 18th City Commission agenda.
