The Honorable Marc Sarnoff
Commissioner, City of Miami
Dear Commissioner Sarnoff.
Thank you for taking time to meet with us, and for your interest in preserving the Coconut
Grove Sailing Club (CGSC) as a vital player in Miami's sailing tradition. We share your
enthusiasm for iMproving the grounds Of the CGSC, and the surrounding parks..
Following our discussion on how to improve the exterior of the Sailing Club, the CGSC
commits to;
1. Demolition of the existing chain -link fence and replacement with a- high -quality vinyl,
clad woven fence having a continuous top rail. The new fence will either be black or green,
60 as to both "disappear': and not impede the view of Sailboat Bay,
2. Removal of the City's existing hedge facing Bayshore Drive, The hedge is agnarled
tangle of plants that are overgrown, unattractive and clearly in need of replacement. The
CGSC will install anew hedge of wax jasinine or ficus green island. The height will be
approximately three feet, so as to both preserve the Bay view but hide the cars parked on the
other side..
3, The CGSC will complete both projects within three months of the execution of the new
Lease with the City, subject to obtaining the necessary permits.
Combin.ed, these improvements will dramatically enhance the appearance of both Myers Park
and this ,section of the waterfront. We will continue to support your goal of improving the
appearance and safety of the. parking circle and Peacock Park.
Thank you for your continued support of the Club, and of sailing on Biscayne Bay, We are
proud of the thousands ofMiami residents that the CGSC has' taught to sail over the past 65
years and the substantial economic benefit that our regattas have brought to our community.
We look forward to our continued partnership with the City in this effort.
Best regards,
Alyn Pruett
