During the MRC's December 5, 2011 public board meeting, the MRC considered the current draft ordinance and passed a resolution recommending "the City of Miami's draft ordinance, regarding storage of recreational vessels at homes, first be considered by the City's Waterfront Advisory Board and the MRC's concerns (i.e. current draft only allows boats on trailers which together are less than 8 feet tall, city employees determining the seaworthiness and functionality of vessels, the concept of a "Warrant" which is another tax in order to keep a boat) and consider modeling it after the more acceptable Miami -Dade County Ordinance regarding recreational boat storage at homes." The City Commission deferred the item several times in order for the City administration to improve the draft, which is yet to be amended. Therefore, I respectfully recommend the item be deferred, so that the administration may prepare, distribute and present the City Commission's intent, an improved and revised draft ordinance that reflects commentary from the Miami River Commission and other affected parties. Your time and continued support for the Miami River are appreciated. Sincerely, ~tar eM Horacio Stuart Aguirre Chairman, Miami River Commission uE MI EL) fib PUBLIC RECORD TEM- ON I24ft2.
