sUBA.LT Proposed Resolution for
Architectural/Engineering Services
for Watson Island Development
Land and Water Adjudicatory order
It is recommended that the City Commission
authorize the City Manager to expend an amount
not to exceed $60,000 from Capital Improvement
Funds designated for the Watson Island
Development by Ordinance No. 9248, dated
February 26, 1981, for design and engineering
and reimbursable items as a part of the existing
Agreement between the City of Miami and R. Duell
and Associates and various subcontractors named
in this Agreement.
On July 22, 1980 the City of Miami Commission authorized the issuance
of a Development Order for the Watson Island Development, a
Development of Regional Impact, incorporating in part the recommenda-
tions of the South Florida Regional Planning Council and the Planning
Advisory Board of the City of Miami.
On August 15, 1980 the South Florida Regional Planning Council
appealed the City's Development Order to the State of Florida Land
and Water Adjudicatory Commission.
Administrative hearings were held in March, 1981 and on June 3, 1981,
a recommended order was filed by the Division of Administrative
Hearings.
On September 1, 1981 the Governor and Cabinet acting as the Land
and Water Adjudicatory Commission approved the City of Miami
Development Order with several conditions to be resolved and
returned before the Commission by March 2, 1982. Two of these
conditions require additional architectural and engineering services
in order that the State Department of Transportation and Department
of Veterans and Community Affairs can assess the traffic impact and
economic feasibility of the proposed project and report their
findings to the Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission.
