Installation of acoustical treatments designed to reduce aircraft noise levels to a home’s interior. Individual upgrades

may include windows, doors and ventilation systems. In accordance with County Commission policy to provide

neighborhood cohesion, it is recommended that all 1,706 units be eligible for sound insulation without requiring an

avigation easement. There is no monetary cost to the individual property owners for sound insulation. Property owners

may incur fees to review the Homeowner Participation Agreement, replacement of window coverings or the cost

associated with the repair of code violations identified during the design process.

MARSHALLS EVERGLADE MOBILE HOME PARK (MHP)

Sound insulation of mobile home units is not feasible. Acquisition of Marshalls Everglade MHP and the mobile home units

with relocation of the residents is recommended. The County will request the City of Dania Beach to rezone the land to a

compatible use. Proceeds from the sale of the land will be returned to the Noise Mitigation Fund. There are 42 units

located within the 65 DNL contour and 56 units located outside the 65 DNL contour. In accordance with County Commission

policy to provide neighborhood cohesion, it is recommended that an offer be made to purchase the mobile home park

land and all 98 units.

Estimated Cost: $13 million1 – no change

Sound insulation of mobile home units is not feasible. Acquisition of Ocean Waterway MHP and mobile home units with

relocation of the residents is recommended. The County will request the City of Dania Beach to rezone the land to a

compatible use. Proceeds from the sale of the land will be returned to the Noise Mitigation Fund. The site is located

primarily outside the 65 DNL and involves complex components of ownership. There are 47 units located within the 65 DNL

contour and 222 units located outside the 65 DNL contour. In accordance with County Commission policy to provide

neighborhood cohesion, it is recommended that an offer be made to purchase the mobile home park land and all 269 units.

If a homeowner located within the 65+ DNL contour wishes to sell their property and relocate, the County will assist them

with the sale of their property on the open real estate market for Fair Market Value (FMV). The FAA requires that an

avigation easement be given in exchange for participation in this program. BCAD is challenging the FAA regarding the

requirement of the easement.

A recent market absorption study for the noise impacted area shows a maximum of 22 properties per year could be sold

through this type of program to avoid market saturation. In accordance with County Commission policy to provide noise

mitigation in excess of the minimum federal standards, BCAD recommends implementation of this program.

Estimated Cost: $56 million2

Schedule: Implementation begins 2011; End date determined by market absorption rate

Maximum of 22 properties per year are eligible based on market absorption rate (March 2010)

1. Homeowner enters Sales Assistance Program by signing an agreement with Broward

County which includes: Requiring Homeowner to list property at FMV

The County will provide a differential to assist in the sale of the property if seller receives an

offer of less than FMV

Homeowner agrees to participate in Sound Insulation Program

2. The County orders appraisal of the property to determine FMV. The appraisal will be

conducted according to guidelines contained in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, as amended

3. Homeowner lists property for sale on the open real estate market at FMV

4. Homeowner receives an offer to purchase the property: The County will pay closing costs

The County will also provide a sales differential of the difference between the FMV and the

sales price, if the owner sells for less than FMV.

Homeowner conveys avigation easement to County

Advantages:

Allows Homeowners to relocate outside of Noise Impact Area

Maintains neighborhood stability

Sales Assistance Recommended Because…

Maintains the City of Dania Beach’s ad valorem tax base by keeping ownership

with individuals instead of County ownership

Stabilizes existing community by avoiding vacant properties

Maintains property values by not saturating the housing market

Maintains property values by seeking market value on the sale of the property

Allows homeowners to receive benefits of sound insulation until property can be sold

Avoids lengthy and costly property management and maintenance fees

Market Absorption Rate Study

A market absorption study was conducted of the

Noise Impact Area to determine the rate at which

noise impacted properties located in the 65+ DNL

noise contour can be expected to sell on the open

market. This study determined that a maximum of 22

properties per year could be sold and not affect

market conditions.

The Noise Impact Area is comprised of three distinct

neighborhoods which contain 571 single-family homes

and 286 duplex units.
