S. $ox 1939 Cocor- •t Grove, Florida 33233 May 12, 1987 Cesar Odic, City Manager City Hall of Miami Pan American Drive Miami, Florida Dear Mr. Odic, We, the members of The Dinner Key Anchorage Association, Inc. request that the following enclosed proposal be placed on the Agenda of the City Commission for May 28, 1987. We thank you for your cooperation. er Y. i and Perlmutter, President, Dinner Key Anchorage Association 11 Sirs$ The members of The Dinner Key Anchorage Association, working in concert with The City of Miami Marina staff, the City Attorney, and other marina and waterfront interests, have developed the enclosed proposal. We have included, for future consideration, drawings and suggestions for additional progress as needs and funding dictate. T1+=s proposal does require some explanation as to the genesis and development of the multifaceted approach. The basis for the recomendations are a three -pronged solution addressing (1) The Marina user and user fee, (2) The south channel and availability for all users, and (3) an . alternative for the boaters displaced by the recent Houseboat Ordinance. We have included a contract for services that we feel adequately and correctly covers all parties (City Attorney Suarez -Rivas has expressed approval).The wording of the enclosed contract has been taken directly from a "Municipal Marina Service Fee Agreement" proposed by the Office of Marina Development. Also included iy an interesting and not unrealistic proposal for future development of_a self-supporting, cost effective, shoreside i service center for cruising sailors and visitors alike. The emphasis in each facet of this program is cost effectiveness and the actual availability of the services required. The original plan discussed by the Marina Development Specialist would be costly, both in fixed expenses and in labor -benefit costs. The plan unnecessarily 3 87 -6; �0 placed an unmanageable burden on Marina facilities and staff at the expense, in services, to Marina residents. In contrast, the enclosed program will eliminate or minimize the cost of Implementation, the negative impact on Marina and Anchorage residents, and maximize use of existing facilities without the need for additional staff or boating equipment. Simplicity is the key element - controlled availability of shoreside services that now exist, with minimum improvement/expansion as needs increase, are all that is required. If a free and legal anchorage is declared, by ordinance, and services made available for a contracted fee, those needing the services may acquire them. This would open the way for accommodating the cruising boater and solve the "liveaboard" problem. In support of this request, the Dinner Key Anchorage Association is aware of negative side-effacts and has taken steps to address them. The most frequently mentioned problem is the establishment, or more correctly re-establishment, of a "South Channel". The Dinner Key Anchorage Association is currently meeting with the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, Mr. Frank Albritton of Castle Harbour, and other interested parties in order to properly establish and mark a privately maintained channel at no cost to the City. The second most mentioned problem, that of derelict vessels and/or trash on the spoil islands, deeply distresses this organization. We are aware of the difficulty in removing this debris and the i lack of funds on the part o4 City and State agencies. In y 87-6;io E that regard, we have engaged in an organized daily clean-up campaign and have dismantled or removed several vessels and will continue to lend our efforts toward this ongoing problem. Included in this package is an artist's rendering of a proposed, future reception center/dinghy dock submitted by a Dinner Key Anchorage Association member. This facility would utilize coin -operated technology ra*ler than traditional manpower. We wish to thank you for your consideration of this proposal and offer our organization to respond to any question or assist in you any way.

City of Miami, a Florida Municipal Corporation by its agent: Office of the Director, Parks and Recreation Owner or agent Print name: by: Department Director 9 8 i - -.30 ARTISTS CONCEPTION: DINNER KEY MARINA I DINGHY DOCK & OFFICE I l� 8 :--6;:"-3 :t I' PROPOSED MIAMI MARINE WELCOME STATION All yachts entering Florida on the Intracoastal Waterway are greeted by the Florida Marine Welcome Station at Fernandina Beach. A free glass of orange juice and a hot shower greet the sailor with a hearty welcome. This proposal suggests a Miami Marine Welcome Station that would say to the visiting yachtsman, "Welcome to Miami!" . A Miami Hari ne Welcome Station could provide the following functions: 1. An information center that would direct boating tourists to needed services and facilities, i.e. restaurants, repair services, marine stores, entertainment, public transportation, shopping centers, food stores, etc. 2. A secure, lighted dinghy landing area that would encourage yachtsman to visit Miami. S. Collection of fees for boat residents using City (Marina) Facilities. 4. Coin operated laundry machines, telephones, ice, map dispensing machines. 3. Connecting the Tourist and Chamber of Commerce approach with the visiting yachtsman. Several years ago, the Bahamian goverment announced that 109000 visiting yachts cruised Bahamian waters each year. These vessels consist largely of American or Canadian couples or families able to vacation for several months aboard their yachts. This proposal would, in affect, be attempting to attract these tourists to the Miami area on their way to the islands. Miami is a place ideally suited -for -Final provisioning and last minute repairs as well as a wonderful recreational area. It is also affords a convenient nt Jumping-off location to both the Bahamas and the Carribbean. The financial benefits to local merchants are obvious. �o, Ft.
