"It is recommended that the Cite Commission ancrove in crincicle cnly the ccncect of a Lublic observation. Hier an.d artificial reefs, to be donated by the Hamilton Corporation, for Magnolia Park...." City Commission approval, in principle only, for the concept of a public observation Pier and artificial reefs, designed, constructed by, and at the expense of the Hamilton Corporation (which is respon- sible for the development of the Bay Point Place Project), is hereby sought. This action will initiate a review, public hearing, and permitting process, at the end of which, if the findings are .favorable to the development of a marina for the Bay Point Place Project and the pier and reefs at Magnolia Park, the Magnolia Park observation pier and artificial reefs will be constructed and turned over to the City of Miami; the City would become responsible for operation and maintenance as owners. The pier will cost aPnroximate- ly $65,000 and the artificial reefs $6,000, adding to a total estimated expenditure of approximately $71,000. This matter was initially scheduled for action by the City Commission on its December 8, 1983 agenda but was withdrawn by the City Manager for further review. Just prior to December 8 it was determined that both the Proposed marina at Bay Point Place and the proposed Magnolia Park improvements were required to undergo public hearings before the City's Zoning Board; there was concern that a positive action by the City Commission on December 8 would prejudice future Zoning Board consideration. The action requested at this time is only to permit the developer to proceed with the State leasing and permitting processes. JS/cg Enclosures cc: Law Department Planning Department Planning and Zoning Adm. 1 84-JL55 r e BACKGROUND The Hamilton Corporation is completing development of Bay Point Place, a 271-unit residential condominium located at 555 N.E. 34 Street on Biscayne Bay, for which previous zoning approval has been granted. The overall development plans include a bavwalk to allow for oublic access along the water's edge and a 26-slip orivate marina for which they are proceeding with permitting through the Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E.), Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (D.E.R.), and Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (D.E.R.M.), and for which City of Miami zoning approval is still required. In obtain- ing a permit for the marina construction, the affected bay bottom must be leased from the State of Florida, and among those requirements upon :which the lease is predicated is a demonstration. of public benefit. In this case, that has taken the form of a public observation pier and adjacent artificial reefs. The pier and reefs were to have been constructed adjacent to the proposed marina, but as a result of four official objections received through the C.O.E./D.E.R. Public Notice process, the developer was advised to change the proposed location, and the opportunity to place the pier and reefs off of Magnolia Park at N.E. 39 Street and 6 Avenue, is now being explored. Staff from the Departments of Parks and Recreation, Planning and Public Works, have reviewed the general concept of a pier and reefs for the park, and reserve the right to make recommendations specific to the overall project at subsequent Zoning Board hearings, and subject to the acquisition of all appropriate federal, state, county, and municipal permits and public hearings. Approval of the accompanying resolution will not presuppose any decision rendered by and/or as a result of the Zoning Board and their hearings, nor does it preempt the right of the Zoning Board to rule favorably or unfavorably with respect to the marina, the pier and artificial reefs, and any related issues. The following is a summary of steps which will be included in the process which this resolution initiates: 1. Acceptance, by the City Commission, in principle only, of the concept of a pier and artificial reefs for Magnolia Park, and authorization for the City Manager to allow representatives of the Hamilton Corporation to act as the City's agents in acquiring all related permits and/or variances for the pier and artificial reefs. 2. Completion, by the Hamilton Corporation, of the C.O.E./D.E.R./D.E.R.M. permitting process for construction of the marina at Bay Point Place. This will include acquisition of a lease for the bay bottom under the proposed marina, using the pier and reefs as the public benefit required by the State. Acting as the City's agents they will also seek a permit for the construction 84-JL55 r \A of the pier and reefs at :Magnolia Park, however if the pier and reefs are acc3t:tec: by the State as a public benefit the permit may be granted without further hearings. J. application by the Hamilton .:orparation to the City's Zoning Board for: a) A Special Exception and a possible variance to constrict a private marina in excess of 25' from the shoreline, using the public observa- tion pier ar. =ti`:_i ? as the oublic benef"ic. b) A Special Exception and a possible %variance to co :struct a 162' long 8' :aide public obServation pier with adjacent artificial reefs.
