ENCLOSURES;
We are attempting to acquire other tracts of land to complete the
parcel that we have designed for development. We are finding
toxic waste and pollution on a number of the small ones.
Please schedule for discussion at the November commission
meeting, why all of the Overtown Park West cannot be treated as
one and not have separate agreements. I will be recommending
that all lands, especially Overtown area, be treated the same as
the City treated lands owned by Camillus House.
We said that the City of Miami would be responsible for removing
toxic waste and go after people who polluted the lands. By copy
of this memorandum I am requesting that the City of Miami have
legislation ready for the November meeting to do this.
The continuation of this project is very, very important, if we
do not acquire the lands we are seeking, then the money spent
already may be down the drain.
If we can condemn the properties then the clean up
responsibilities will be ours, so we may as well go ahead and
remove the toxic waste and go after the respective owners.
