Re: Request for Personal Appear==
Gentlemen:
Tdepbo 95"94-"22
I am asking to be allowed a pemnal appo=== before the Miami City
t omn ission on March 10,1998, for the • purpose of requesting several waivers
related to a New Year's Eve event winch sty company wishes hold in Coconut
Grove on December 31, 1999.
Those waivers concern ordwnces covered under ARnCI.E IX,
COCONUT oROVE SPECIAL EVENTS DISTRICT; Sec.54-
171 ftl�(2),&(3)-
Since our event is based on the oncaeua o - mcnt of the use of Mass Transit
as the desivAed driver for this eves whicb should w aificandy lower alcohol
related injuries and death during this holiday, and will NOT be compo t va with
either the King Orange Bowl Parade nor the party in Beftont Park theroaft", we
would hope that the Comerns = will agree to our requested warms.
These wamn inches a closing of the streets of Coconut Grove a second
time during the month of December, 1998, and a space between events of keys than
two weekends; a rchov lion of the noise abatanent ordinance from 11:O0PM until
1:00AM, and the allowing of a fireworks show at A&Anight (instead of 11.00 AO.
We feel that the residents of Coconut Grove will actually benefit from our
festival because of the heavy ponce pracrice m the area regwred by ordinance,
which wt reduce drunk driving thragh the Grave area, and the encouragenwnt of
the use of the County bus system, MetroRail and Tn-Rail.
We would hire to make a personal appearance at the March Commimon
meeting to ftuthar a*= the bcnc& of allowing this fa rival, both for the City of
Nfmni and the rcaid=b of Coconut Gwvie.
Thank you for yaw kind attention to die matter
Respectfully,
