Commissioner L. Martin wished staff to give the public and the Commission an
overview of the subject item with regard to what was coming for electric vehicles,
charging stations, etc.
Acting City Planner Molly Howson stated the subject ordinance went before the
Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Board the previous week in response to a need to amend
the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDR); it would be applicable citywide, as
it pertained to off-street parking standards, as well as renewable energy readiness.
She said it was to ensure the City had adequate green energy infrastructure to keep
pace with the growing number of electric vehicles utilized by the City’s residents
and guests. The objective of the subject amendment was to provide requirements,
and it pertained to commercial properties, and multifamily developments. She
noted, as the ordinance stated, for any new commercial or multifamily development
coming into the City, a minimum of one parking space and two percent, or one per
50, of the parking spaces should be dedicated to electric vehicle charging stations.
Existing developments were only affected if they sought to do improvements,
expansions, or modifications that affected up to 20 of their parking spaces; then
they were required to conform with the amended standard.
Vice Mayor Dunn thought she read residential district in the backup.
Ms. Howson affirmed it did say residential district; with the exception of
City of Lauderhill Page 3
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
single-family, and residential multifamily developments with eight dwelling units per
acre, which accounted for the majority of the City’s triplexes, and quadraplexes.
The existing ordinance required new single-family developments equip homes with
electrical infrastructure to enable the installation of a charging station if desired.
The subject amendment did not address single-family homes, only multifamily and
commercial uses.
A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Commissioner S.
Martin, that this Ordinance be approved on first reading to the City Commission
Meeting, due back on 11/28/2022. The motion carried by the following vote:
Yes: 4- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, and

Commissioner L. Martin stated he was glad to hear the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) team speak of their intent to publish their fiscal year (FY) 2023 event
calendar in the CRA meeting held just prior to the present Commission meeting.
City of Lauderhill Page 6
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
The fact that all members of the City Commission were publishing their FY 2023
event calendars for the fiscal year meant the information would be more accessible
and visible to the public at any given time. If all City departments hosting events
published their calendar of events, this would ensure there was no overlap,
duplication, etc., and it would move the City forward in being as transparent as
possible.
City Manager Giles-Smith remarked when the EPAF was completed, they were
posted on the City’s calendar uploaded onto the City’s website, so members of the
public could see what was coming, etc.
A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Commissioner S.
Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Yes: 4- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, and

Commissioner Grant knew several meetings were held to discuss the Flood
Protection Master Plan, and, unfortunately, many residents did not attend, despite
the meetings being advertised in a variety of media. She asked Public Works
Director/City Engineer Martin Cala to give a synopsis of what the resolution was
about.
City Manager Giles-Smith remarked the subject resolution pertained to the City’s
Comprehensive Resiliency Plan, for which a flood vulnerability study was being
conducted by the City with the State of Florida; it was somewhat different from the
City’s plan, as it dealt more with climate change and resiliency.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Martin Cala explained the City applied for a
grant from the State Department of Environmental Protection to participate in a
City of Lauderhill Page 7
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
study very similar to the one the City recently completed, but it was being done
statewide. The study would use the model developed by the City, and they would
use models developed by other cities, with the intention of defining critical
infrastructure, such as City Hall, bridges, culverts, the police department, fire
stations; basically anything geared to first-time responders in relation to sea level
rise, along with levels of rainfall. He noted, in the previous weeks, South Florida
was experiencing king tides, of which there would be one more in November; it was
a fact that with climate change, the level of the sea was rising and as the sea level
rose, so did the ground water table. After Hurricane Ian passed over the west coast
of Florida, a fire station in Naples was completely flooded. The State would factor
the effect of the sea level rise into each municipality’s critical infrastructure; though
it was a statewide initiative, the City would participate through Broward County.
City Manager Giles-Smith commented this was an initiative brought to the City by
State Representative Anika Omphroy, who asked the City to participate to help in
her efforts to get dollars to coastal and nearby cities affected by sea level rise;
Lauderhill, as with many Florida cities, had numerous canals running alongside
storm water drainage, so it was important for Lauderhill to be a part of the study.
The study was being paid for by the State, and, hopefully, the more cities that
participated, the more federal dollars would come to the area to help deal with the
various storm water and other issues experienced due to climate change.
Commissioner Grant noted some of the information that helped the City get the
subject grant was based on the abovementioned master plan.
Mr. Cala indicated that was correct.
A motion was made by Commissioner S. Martin, seconded by Commissioner D.
Grant, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Yes: 4- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, and

Vice Mayor Dunn opened the discussion to the public.
Samuel Wilkerson, Lauderhill resident and president of the Broward Estates/St.
George Homeowners’ Association (HOA), noted letters were sent to residents in
the community, and they wished the Commission to know the HOA and its
residents supported the idea of the Commission having the authority direct staff to
purchase abandoned residential properties in foreclosure.
Ms. Cooper thought this an amazing proposal, as there were abandoned residential
properties in West Ken Lark and they were an eyesore; her community supported
the City Commission moving forward with the subject resolution. Residents wished
to increase their property values, so they wanted their area to be beautified, with
nice families living in the neighborhoods.
A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Commissioner S.
Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following

Commissioner L. Martin spoke with Ms. Howson, and she answered all his
questions satisfactorily; he spoke with Wille Mae Cooper, president of the West
Ken Lark HOA, as some residences in their community abutted the subject
property, and he knew there were residents of the area with specific questions. Ms.
Howson informed him the subject resolution was like stage one of many to get the
property positioned to, potentially, move forward with the proposed development;
and some designs and elements might already have been completed, along with
further conversations with Ms. Howson in an effort to minimize some impacts on
the residential portion that might or might not be approved by the Commission. He
believed this was the first time the Commission, as a group, was being presented
with the subject resolution; it was the Commission’s collective position in the past
to, hopefully, have the owners of any new development at least communicate with
the homeowners’ association (HOA), so they knew what was going on.
Commissioner L. Martin felt this was a unique situation, as the subject property had
been in a blighted situation for a number of years, so he was enthusiastic about the
opportunity for the site to be developed into something brand new, and he hoped to
see some positive uses on the site in the next year. It was encouraging to see new
construction and development along the NW 31st Avenue corridor, but it should be
uses that complemented the surrounding residential portion, and for the uses to
remain for the next five to ten years. The HOA presidents of St. George/Broward
Estates and West Ken Lark regularly worked together to get positive things done for
their communities, as their close proximity meant whatever affected one
community would affect the other. He wished the developer to meet and introduce
themselves to the two communities’ HOA presidents, and elaborate on the types of
development they planned.
Ms. Howson remarked the subject site was located at 1601 NW 31st Avenue,
Lauderhill, a site casually referred to in the past as the Walden’s Liquor Store
location; the site sat vacant for a long time and it was currently owned by Mr. John
Collins of International Freight. A plat was the first step in any development
process; it was the underlying map that identified and provided for such elements
as the size and boundaries of the lot, along with notes about what could and could
not be built on the lot. She stressed land could not be developed in Lauderhill or
within Broward County unless the land was platted. Mr. Collins wished to construct
a warehouse building for the purposes of renting it out to commercial/industrial
tenants for uses, for example, in import/export, but not exclusively. Staff found the
applicant extremely responsive thus far to staff’s concerns, which mostly focused
City of Lauderhill Page 15
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
on ensuring they were extremely thoughtful about protecting nearby single-family
homes abutting the subject site to the west and south. She said the only matter on
which staff was able to exert influence was hours of operation, and they would rely
on existing code regarding zoned commercial districts abutting residential zoning
districts. The Code provided for timeframes that allowed commercial businesses
to operate, in order to mitigate disruption to residential property, but these matters
were not regulated at the platting stage. Ms. Howson indicated, instead of the
typical ten-foot landscape buffer the City code required between any commercial
zoning district that abutted residential, staff asked for a 25-foot buffer at the subject
location, along with the installation of an eight-foot wall. These were some of the
tools staff used to help protect nearby residents from any adverse impacts an
industrial use might cause. She stated staff supported the application, noting the
final plat approval would be made by Broward County; the County asked the
developer to have a resolution of support from the Lauderhill City Commission
before the County Commission gave its final approval; thus far, the County
Commission granted a preliminary approval for the subject plat. Mr. Collins was not
proposing to build anything on the subject site that was not permitted by right, so he
would not need to come to the Commission for any special use entitlements,
though the Commission had the right to request the site plan.
Commissioner L. Martin asked Ms. Cooper if she had any concerns she wished to
voice.
Willie Mae Cooper, Lauderhill resident, and president of the West Ken Lark HOA
said she just found out about the plan to develop the subject property from a
resident in her community. The usual procedure was when anyone planned to do
something in the West Ken Lark community, the HOA was notified, so her concern
was whether there was proper notice by the City; she was the person to whom
residents voiced their concerns, so she needed to be kept informed, so she could
answer their questions. The residents and she were concerned about the
beautification of their community, and she was very thankful Commissioner L.
Martin was working aggressively to clean up the area where the recycling plants
were located. Very soon, a production studio would be located at the former site of
the landfill; it seemed at times that anyone could come into their area and do
whatever they wanted, without properly maintaining their properties. Her
community had a lot of elderly residents and noise impacts were a major concern.
She would get the property owner’s contact information, so they could attend an
HOA meeting to speak with residents; they usually met on the tenth of the month
and it was possible to attend the meeting virtually; they could give Mr. Collins five
minutes to give a presentation, get feedback from the community, and answer
questions.
Commissioner L. Martin asked if the resolution was time sensitive.
Ms. Howson said nothing could move forward without the property first getting plat
approval. The subject development had gone back and forth twice, already going to
the County for a round of comments, and the same with the City, and staff found all
these comments were addressed by Mr. Collins; with the City Commission’s
approval, the matter could move to the County Commission. She believed the
County’s deadline was March 2023, but Mr. Collins hoped not to push the platting
process out that far.
City of Lauderhill Page 16
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
Commissioner L. Martin thought it wise for the applicant to meet with the HOA and
residents, as he echoed Ms. Cooper’s concerns and sentiments. He asked Mr.
Collins and his team if they could table the subject resolution to the next meeting to
allow them to meet with West Ken Lark residents and their HOA. It would make the
process smoother if residents were onboard from the early stages, and the
information shared should include the steps Ms. Howson was taking to ensure any
impacts to residents and their property was minimized.
Jerry McLaughlin, the applicant’s representative, commented any information
gathered at the community meeting would be part of the site plan process, not the
platting; as Ms. Howson stated, the applicant went above and beyond, adding more
buffers. Any matters discussed at the HOA meeting would not impact the platting
process, and more restrictions and conditions could be imposed on the site plan.
City Attorney Hall remarked the City Commission had the right to request the site
plan come back to them, as they normally went through the P&Z Board and the
Development Review Committee (DRC).
Mr. McLaughlin said the applicant was still willing to meet with the community to
discuss their plans for the site.
Commissioner S. Martin thanked Mr. Collins for allowing the City to use the lot for
additional parking for Bradley Park.
City Attorney Hall recommended the Commission vote to approve the subject
resolution first, and then do a second motion and vote to direct staff to bring the site
plan to the Commission for discussion.
A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Commissioner S.
Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Yes: 4- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, and
Commissioner S. Martin

Commissioner S. Martin reminded everyone of the United Lauderhill Community
Associations’ upcoming HOA meeting on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.
Commissioner L. Martin wished everyone a Happy Halloween. He urged all eligible
persons to vote by November 8, 2022, urging everyone to stay safe.
Commissioner Grant mentioned receiving about five phone calls about the Swap
Shop, and staff might wish to put the matter to a workshop for more in-depth
discussion; she believed Amazon purchased the Swap Shop property.
City Manager Giles-Smith answered no; that was a hoax.
City of Lauderhill Page 18
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
City Attorney Hall affirmed it was not true.
Commissioner Grant asked if the Swap Shop property was for sale.
City Attorney Hall felt sure the owners of the Swap Shop property would entertain
offers, but Amazon did not purchase the property.
City Manager Giles-Smith believed in Preston Henn’s will, he had the restriction for
the purchase of the property; it could not be sold for 20 years.
City Attorney Hall concurred, adding those 20 years were still running.
City Manager Giles-Smith wished everyone Happy Halloween; she hoped all the
trick or treaters got all the candy they desired. She said they had some exciting
news about the Lauderhill Fire Department that would help residents with some of
their bills. The Lauderhill community was proud of what their fire department
accomplished, working with the City’s Utility Department, and other departments.
Fire Chief Robert Torres said it was an important and historical day for the
Lauderhill Fire Department, as on the morning of the present day, Ms. Giles-Smith
and he received amazing news about a review conducted on the fire department.
After the hard and dedicated hours of work by members of the fire department,
providing information, and the submittal of numerous documentation toward the
final review of the department, they received the news that Lauderhill Fire
Department was now classified as a Class 1 fire department in the United States.
Back in 2012, the department went from a Class 3 fire department to a Class 2,
and as of February 1, 2023, the department would be classified as a Class 1 fire
department by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). They were beyond proud of
this achievement, and this spoke to the excellence of the fire department team, with
the support of the City Commission, City Manager, and her staff, and all the
residents and businesses of Lauderhill. He mentioned Utilities Director Herb
Johnson and his staff did an amazing job providing proper documentation to help
them achieve this goal, and it was the leadership of former Fire Chief Marc Celetti
who laid the foundation to build the Lauderhill Fire Department into what it was
today. Chief Torres explained, out of 40,000 fire departments in the United States,
only 474 received this recognition of Class 1, and out of 486 fire departments in the
State of Florida, only 46 had a Class 1 fire department, and what this meant for
residents and business owners was they should contact their insurance companies
about lowering their insurance costs.
Commissioner S. Martin congratulated Chief Torres and his staff, asking, in addition
to saving residents money, could he share what the certification meant, as he
understood it included the fire department demonstrating its ability to execute faster
response times, etc.
Fire Chief Torres concurred, stating it was a complete review of the fire depart, as
well as the water system, how the department put fires out while still operating the
City’s regular water systems, and that the department show sufficient support, not
just on quick response times, but proper personnel on scene, on time, response
times in areas they covered and protected, staffing levels, training, the Community
City of Lauderhill Page 19
City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final October 31, 2022
Risk Reduction Program they had in place for fire prevention, and how it helped the
community. They also reviewed the department’s emergency communication, their
911 system, and water supply; the latter was an amazing step up, and the
department gained a tremendous amount of points, due to the assistance of the
Utilities Department. He restated he could not be prouder of the way in which the
team came together for this great achievement.
City Manager Giles-Smith wished to thank former City Manager Charles Faranda,
as he thought striving for this achievement was extremely important, and he made
sure the City made all the necessary efforts to raise the fire department’s ISO
rating.
Vice Mayor Dunn mentioned the St. George HOA would host a community garage
sale on Saturday, November 5, 2022. The Dine in Lauderhill event was scheduled
for the second Friday in November and interested persons could visit
lauderhill-fl.gov/lunchmeetup to sign up. She wished Mrs. Wilkerson a happy
birthday.
