The Coconut Grove area is an historic tourist attraction and is known throughout the nation for its quaint atmosphere. B Main Highway between McFarlane Road and Franklin Avenue; Grand Avenue between Mary Street and McDonald Streets and Fuller Street and Commodore Plaza between Main Highway and Grand Avenue make up most of the business area of Coconut Grove. C. The City of Miami has a Highway Improvement District scheduled for construction to start in August 1978 for the above -mentioned area. That 'project will consist of the following improvements t The re- placement of the existing sidewalk with decorative brick sidewalk, and new 6" curb and gutter, landscaped planter areas, trees in the siucwalk area (with grates), and decorative bricked cross -walks. D. The Coconut Grove Ad Hoc Committee and a majority of the prop- erty owners feel that decorative and pedestrian -scale lighting fixtures and poles (supplemental to the street lighting system) would upgrade the area and help to create a more casual and relaxed atmosphere which hopefully will promote more business. E. The Ad Hoc Committee agreed that the entire cost of this lighting improvement would be borne by the abutting property owners. The City Commission, on July 28, 1977, adopted Motion No. 77=626 "authorizing and directing the City Manager to investigate a request for installation of decorative street lamps in the busi- ness area of Coconut Grove to determine if assessment for the cost of these lamps may be made to property owners over a period of 10 years and investigating the cost of the City paying for electricity and maintenance of said lamps." F. On December 8, 1977, the City of Miami Law Department declared that the property owners would have to sign a "covenant" in order to legally obligate therm to pay the cost of improvement. G. It was stated in the December 27, 1977 letter to the property owners that covenants would be needed from at least 90% of the property owners. To date, the required number of covenants have been received only for the accomplishment of work for a portion of the project area. H. The City Commission at their April 27, 1978 meeting, ordered the decorative lighting project, identified as COCONUT GROVE BUSINESS AREA DECORATIVE PEDESTRIAN -SCALE STREET LIGHTING PROJECT B-6177, and desinating the property against which special airreed charges shall be made for the entire cost thereof as COCONUT GROVE BUSINESS AREA DECORATIVE PEDESTRIAN -SCALE STREET LIGHTING PROJECT AREA B-6177.
