AIRPORT EXPANSION AFFECTS YOU!!
by Craig Canning

Greetings! Many people feel that any expansion of the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport is unnecessary. Unfortunately, I believe that is simply not the case. The airport will grow. The question is, where will it grow?
    Up until 2 weeks ago all the talk from the FAA and the Broward County Commission had the airport lengthening the south runway (9R27L) to allow planes to land and take off at the same time. Now the County Commissioners are waffling because of political pressure applied by Dania Beach, Hollywood and some irate homeowners who bought homes under the flight path of the south runway. This recent development could be very detrimental to our quality of life! Recent articles in the newspapers have hinted at our County Commissioners relooking at possibly expanding on the north side of the airport.
    Needless to say, any additional airplane traffic on the north side of the airport would be devastating to our community. Planes may be “peeling off” directly over our homes. There may be an increase of flights using the north/south runway that will also put more airplanes directly over our houses. To expand the airport to the north is not rational, but who the hell ever said government was rational?
    Soon there will be a petition circulated by the lane trustees supporting the expansion of the south runway. I need everyone to sign! We need several thousand signatures on these petitions so the Broward County Commission can see that there is plenty of support for lengthening the south runway. Also please go to http://www.co.broward.fl.us/ click on the Commissioners name (especially Rodstrom) and send them an e-mail stating that you support the expansion of the south runway. We need to be heard!
    Please don’t forget to come to the LICIA general meeting on Thursday May 16th, 7:30pm at the Yacht Club. The final drawings of Riverland Woods Park will be unveiled, Bill Markham, the County Property Appraiser will be there and our new Broward County Commissioner John Rodstrom may also be there. Hope to see you at the meeting!

Airport Growth & Noise Out Of Control
by George Counts

Our County Commissioners will decide by studies conducted by them and by the FAA whether to bombard our neighborhood with impatient, screaming jets in need of more “operational flexibility”.   As one of our nation’s fastest growing airports, Ft. Lauderdale International has the dubious honor of being in the top 30 for operations and emplanements.  We also have the dubious honor of living just 5 miles from its creeping, never-ending expansion and construction.  Studies indicate residential areas will be exposed to much more airport noise than we have now.  
    If runway expansion Alternative A is chosen adding 2 parallel, elevated, runways 800’ apart further north or closer to us, the construction could last 6-7 years.  With 30 new gates and being closer to us you can only imagine what the new levels of aircraft noise will be like.  Less costly but also noisy Alternative B would build these more northerly runways at ground level. A pilot testifying for those opposed to the preferred alternative, lengthening the south runway, pushed the northern runways as the best option.  His gut feeling was it would have the least impact on people (his neighborhood).  Some airline Captains living in our area don’t agree.
    Contact the County Commissioners and let them know the south runway or regional jetport elsewhere alternatives are the best for our neighborhood.  Continue to call 359-6181 days & 359-1200 on nights & holidays to complain about aircraft noise.  The next meeting is at the airport with Dr. Abe Fischler presiding.  Parking is free.  Call the airport noise officer at 359-6181 or Captain Bud Johnson our airport noise rep at  797-8915 for details.

ANOTHER OBNOXIOUS USE JUST TO THE SOUTH
by George Counts

First Enron tried to build a natural gas pipeline from the Bahamas.  It would be as simple as blasting through coral reefs, violating sensitive offshore naval testing areas, and running a huge natural gas pipeline along parts of I-595 south of us.  Enron’s troubles have caused its representatives to try and peddle this massive project to any taker.  Three other companies, AES, Calypso and El Paso,  sent plans for a 24" pipeline to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.  The navy objected due to the sensitive military area the pipeline would have to go through.  An environmental assessment (EIS) will be prepared so mitigation  ( how they will attempt to rebuild displaced environmental entities elsewhere) can be implemented.
    Last March 8th a natural gas pipeline exploded in Lexington, KY.  It could be seen for 10 miles.  The cause has not been determined according to a report on Channel 12 West Palm Beach.  A few days later the nearby FPL had an explosion.  Thank goodness it was oil fired.   Can you imagine the tie-ups on 595, 84 & 7 when this happens to a pipeline in their vicinity, the airport, the FPL plant  and  the incinerator.
    Port Everglades, which requires no local property taxes for support  stands to lose a minimum of $1.5 million if a natural gas pipeline goes in near it.  The effects will be catastrophic if such a pipeline is later converted to petroleum.

Canal Cleaning
by Neil Leibowitz

Back at the end of last year, the Lauderdale Isles Water Management District along with Broward County OES had hired a contract to clean the canals.  This did not happen last year, as the contractor was running late over in Citrus Isles, and was so far behind he was ultimately fired by the County.  This pushed us back.  We are once again going to try to schedule this project.  To clarify to everyone, this is NOT dredging.  We are not coming in with dredging equipment to make the canals uniformly deeper.  To do this would require much more money than we have.  Also, making the canals deeper could  create a problem with seawall integrity, that we don’t want to broach.  We are going to clean the canals.  This means removal of debris, and most likely some easy to remove silt.  Over the years, there has been a tremendous amount of lawn debris, branches, fruit, palm fronds, and other garbage that was dumped into our canals.  Much of this debris ultimately settled down in the north end (dead end) of the canals, and was covered over by silt.   We will attempt to remove some of this debris.
    This project will require a barge to be brought into each canal.  In order to do this, notices will be given out to all effected homeowners to move their boats.  I am sure we have enough empty docks in the neighborhood to accommodate these vessels for a few days.  If the boats are not moved, we will be unable to clean the canals, pure and simple.  While we do have legal recourse to move the boats and bill the homeowners, we would prefer not to have to do this.  We ask for everyone’s cooperation in our attempt to improve the condition of our canals, so that we will not need to get any official agencies involved.   You never know what could happen when bureaucrats get involved.  To reiterate, this is NOT a dredging project.   The County has lined up a new contractor, and we expect to get underway within the month.

DAVIE FORCES HEAVIEST ZONING NEXT TO ISLES
by George Counts

While the land-use plan has allowed some light industrial and commercial zoning south of the Isles, Davie officials unanimously voted to max this out.  With dollar signs in their eyes, they didn’t even flinch when the chance came to force one of the heaviest zonings permitted (M-2) next to a top flight, well established residential area—across from Bradford and Roscioli.  Not satisfied this was enough, they also pushed through another drastic change.  It allows ships to 180 feet to be built at former facilities used for yacht repair.  We have co-existed with these yacht repair facilities for years.  Allowing mega-yacht manufacturing to 180 feet here is most inconsiderate.  Feeling a slight tinge of remorse, they did add some deed restrictions barring concrete plants, oil refineries etc.  The burden will be on us to see that they are honored if the property is sold.  However they refused to allow the following in the restrictions: …”and any other obnoxious uses Lauderdale Isles residents object to”.  Since Davie will benefit from the potential taxes this heavy industrial zoning will allow, they should assist in paying for the dredging of the waterways leading to these facilities from the Intracoastal.  The owner of Bradford Marine indicated the largest vessel to make it to his dock was 130 feet.  I thought rounding Little Florida on a 106 footer was a little too close for comfort...  Imagine what it will be like on a 180 footer if Little Florida is removed or drastically modified.

 TRI-RAIL PROJECT
by Terry Simonds/Robert Trafford

On 7 February the Tri-County Community Rail Authority (Tri-Rail) held a public meeting to hear concerns and suggestions from the community regarding the double-tracking of the bascule bridge over the S. Fork of the New River at Marina Bay. There was no information available at the last publishing date in regards to the blockage of the river, if any, during construction.
    We who are boaters have learned to love that old bridge, constructed well over fifty years ago, and shoot through it as soon as possible, lest a piece drop on our vessel! 
    It would appear at first glance that there is a possibility of the bridge being closed more often once it is double-tracked. However, it’s too early to tell. Consider this as a heads-up, and if you want more information, you can contact the Tri-Rail Director of Planning:

Dennis J. Newjahr
800 NW 33rd St., Suite 100
Pompano Beach, FL 33064
954-788-7896

We have requested that their department submit a press release for this publication, but it has not arrived in time for press.  We will distribute it via email once it does arrive, and we will have an update in our next issue.

 MESSAGE TO DANIA BEACH

 By Gary Starkweather, one of many Lauderdale Isles residents who spent countless hours as a result of Dania Beach’s money grubbing tax grab on this community. Now that the vote is in and the facts are clear I have just one last thing to add...
    To all the folks in Dania Beach who met behind closed doors and hatched that rotten annexation ambush on Lauderdale Isles:  I’m not one to gloat or be unprofessional about politics. ( who ME? )  Losers !   We all know how Dania Beach was truly concerned about our community.  Greedy tax vultures !  I know it was just an honest mistake that Dania ambushed our community with an annexation bill.  Pirates !
    And that it was just a simple oversight that Dania forgot to discuss the annexation bill with any of our community.  Yeah right!   And those fancy Pro-Dania color glossy brochures we all got in the mail.  LO$ERS !   And on each Dania Beach color glossy mailer I searched for true facts, front and back.  There were none !
    Dania Beach did manage to fool a few voters with their stories and spin doctors. Very few!  The rest of us were not fooled. We Read, We United, We Voted!  We Voted Dania Beach Out. Good Bye!

and from the Editor...

May I add...What about all of those broad promises you made in regards to airport expansion?  Here we find ourselves arming again for yet another sweat, legal, ethical, and financial battle against your efforts to push the air traffic over our heads!  We’re fairly confident that you won’t win this sneak attack either!  I’m afraid that you continue to underestimate our community resolve.

Editorial

Some people think that it is inappropriate for a civic association to endorse any specific political cause or candidate. As a general policy, LICIA’s policy has been to go no further than to present the facts to our community. That’s why, in the past, we’ve invited “both” political candidates to meetings. I can’t recall LICIA ever endorsing a specific candidate, because it is not part of the “mission” or purpose of the civic association. LICIA is supposed to gather facts and present facts, but not an opinion in the official capacity.
    Do we need to change civic association’s charter? Should we? Sometimes circumstances and common sense indicate that it is in the best interest of our community to endorse a position. The annexation issue was a good example to study. I don’t want to be a member of an association that can’t tell me what it really thinks. 
    When the Annexation issue heated up again in 2001, the average Lauderdale Isles resident still knew very little about annexation. So to address this concern our civic association appointed committees staffed by our residents to study the annexation issue in detail and bring back the facts for our community’s evaluation. 
    As annexation fact finding gained momentum it became crystal clear that Ft. Lauderdale was this community’s obvious choice by an overwhelming majority. At two LICIA general meetings, a motion was brought to the floor to officially make the City of Ft. Lauderdale the civic association’s officially endorsed choice. To win the annexation vote, our community would face voting against voting districts 38Z and 39Z, together, holding 66.3% of the registered voters. With only 33.7% of the registered voters, Lauderdale Isles could easily be out voted by these two districts. Our community needed a strong and unified vote if it intended to win the election. If passed, the motion on the floor would have provided our civic volunteers much greater freedom to speak candidly about the upcoming election and explain why the civic association endorsed Ft. Lauderdale.

The Environmental Corner
by Gary Starkweather 

Water Quality and Environmental Awareness

Lauderdale Isles is the newest member of the City of Fort Lauderdale, but we have some old issues to keep up with.  The latest reports indicate that “Beer Can Bob” is still somewhere in our neighborhood. He was seen just last weekend riding in his boat tossing beer cans overboard.  Do you know “Beer Can Bob?” Environmental issues are very important in Lauderdale Isles and for the most part our residents are  very environmentally responsible. Part of the difficulty in adopting environmentally responsible habits is knowing what to do. Typical household  trash includes all sorts of jars, cans, and buckets of sticky substances, mystery liquids, and toxic keepsakes. Its not always easy to figure out what to do with it all. Some stuff should not be thrown out in the trash, and other stuff won’t get picked up on bulk trash pick up day because it is considered hazardous waste.  Not knowing what to do is the most common challenge for most folks, myself included. Our trash pickup will continue to be provided by Broward County for a few more months but will soon be changed over to Ft. Lauderdale. Look in the August newsletter for updates on our new trash pickup  services.   Until we transition to City services, the county’s newsletter publication “Trash Times” which is mailed periodically to our community is a good source of information. It outlines collection schedules, drop off stations, and other related trash and garbage disposal information. Most of the simple and basic stuff is covered. Other complicated items are not covered.   This community still needs to educate neighbors about environmental responsibility and good habits. Many times I see my neighbors making environmental messes on the very weekend that the community newsletter is being delivered. 
    Although “Beer Can Bob” is still out there, I am very encouraged to see more and more of my neighbors adopting environmentally responsible habits. It only takes one “Beer Can Bob” to foul things up.

So give a hoot & don’t pollute.
Avoid using pesticides.
Most pesticides are highly toxic to fish.
Use fertilizers very sparingly or not at all.
Fertilizers rapidly reduce our water quality. 
Do not put yard waste into our canals.
Yard waste reduces water quality.
Contain all vehicle fluids. 
Our stormwater runoff goes directly into our canals.

The Environmental Corner published in this newsletter is committed to raising people’s awareness of how our behavior can impact our environment. Ft. Lauderdale is a community that is dependent upon its marine environment,  economically and recreationally.  If you would like more information, contact the Department of Planning and Environmental Protection at 954-519-1400  or write your Civic Association .
