BACKGROUND: The City of Miami is interested in developing a multiple use commercial and recreational facility including a full service boat yard, marina, marine related retail use and a public market including the adaptive reuse of two existing historic hangar structures on a 13.5 acre site (6.9 upland acres & 6.6 submerged acres) at Dinner Key. The design strategy includes both the restoration of the historic hangers and the construction of two new structures on the site. Pursuant to Section 3(f)(iii)(B) of the City Charter of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, the City of Miami is required when leasing City waterfront property to procure two independent appraisals to determine if the terms of a contract result in a fair return to the City. The City Manager has directed the Department of Planning and Development to procure two appraisals of the proposal submitted by Grove Harbour Marina and Caribbean Marketplace to determine if it offers a fair market return to the City of Miami. As the City Commission has indicated that they want this lease executed in an expeditious manner, it was necessary to obtain these appraisals on an emergency basis. EM/JLL/DB/mv/memo98.doc
