Is the valuation fair? We have hired ERA to
help us with those issues as part of the
Sasaki plan scope of work.
• Right now, Coral Reef Yacht Club pays the City $26,938
per year for 4.21 acres, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club pays
$5,069 per acre for 3.085 acres of bottomland.
• Meanwhile, as a resident of the City of Miami, the owner
of a 30' boat pays $359 per month ($4,308/year) for the
annual rental of ONE BOAT SLIP! A non-resident pays
$16 per foot.
• Do we want to give away the value of our bottomland at
a time when we are looking at ways to make our
waterfront better?
Is this legal?
• The City Code requires a referendum for the
sale or lease of waterfront land.
• This is the sale of a perpetual PRIVATE use of
the City owned bay bottom.
• The State gave the City the bay bottom for
PUBLIC use with a reverter clause. Leased, the
bay bottom is generating income for the public;
sold, the easement is nothing but a private use.
The State could take back the land.
The Coconut Grove Waterfront Working
Committee respectfully requests that you put these
easements and the purchase of land from
Biscayne Bay Yacht Club on hold and allow ERA to
consider whether the valuation is fair as well as
allow Sasaki to consider as part of the planning
process whether the purchase of land from
Biscayne Bay Yacht Club is necessary to the plan.
