MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
CITY COMMISSION OF MIAMI. FLORIDA
On the llth day of January, 1973, the City Commission of
the City of Miami, Florida, met at its regular meeting place at
City Hall in said city in regular session.
The meeting was called to order at 9:30 O'Clock A.M. by
Mayor David T. Kennedy, and on roll call, the following members
of the Commission were found to be present:
Messrs. Plummer, Reboso, Reverend Gibson, Mrs. Gordon and
Mayor Kennedy. Absent: None.
An invocation was delivered by Reverend Gibson, who then led
those present in a pledge of allegiance to the flag.
1. WAIVING READING OF MINUTES
On motion of Mr. Plummer, seconded by Reverend Gibson, it
was unanimously agreed to waive the reading of tine minutes of
the previous meeting.
2. INTERIM REPORT BY CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON
REVENUE -SHARING FUNDS
Mr. Dan Paul, Chairman of Advisory Committee for Revenue
Sharing Funds appeared and delivered the following preliminary
report to the Commission:
Mr. Paul: Thank you Mr. Mayor and member's of the Commission.
I will be very brief. We have only a preliminary report to make
this morning.
The Revenue Sharing Committee which you appointed has spent most
of its time to date on trying to come up with some principles to
guide revenue sharing from point of view of not only this year but
of the future because it seems to us that the way the die is cast
this year may very well be followed as a precedent and I am sure
the money is not burning a hole in anybody's pocket at this point.
One thing I would like to ask is to be sure that the money is
invested and is earning interest and that the interest is being
accumulated and not being siphoned off for other purposes.
Mr. Reese: According to the federal statutes, we have to invest
the money and the money has to be accumulated as part of that
account. It can't be used for any other purpose. It is spelled
out very carefully in the statute.
Mr. Paul: We have examined a number of projects as well as
principles and as I said, we don't have any final report to make
but we do have several preliminary statements which we would like
to make.
First, I would like to request that the City Manager determine
what for us, before we make our final decision, what health and
welfare services now being performed in the City of Miami by
County and by the State and funded with federal funds which have
been cut off or threatened to be cut off, are likely to be
suspended in the near future?
I don't believe that the Manager would have an answer to that
on the spot.
Mr. Reese: I don't think so because we would have to use a
crystal ball.
Mr. Paul: Right, I understand, but it seems to me that's one
factor we ought to know before we make our recommendation as to
what health and welfare services now being provided to the citizens
4
JANUARY 11, 1973
of Miami by other agencies are going be lost by virtue of cutbacks
in the Nixon Administration.
Secondly, as a matter of principle, we think its a mistake to use
revenue sharing money on a permanent basis for on -going salary
raise increases. I realize the Commission has had some discussion
already on this subject but, we would like to request the Commission
to take another look at earmarking money for that purpose for two
reasons. One. We think that is not the initial purpose of revenue
sharing from the City point of view and (2) as a long range budgetary
technique, we think its very unsound because you may very well paint
yourself into a corner and when revenue sharing ends, find that you
have no money to fund salary increases that you have funded with
revenue sharing during the years which you had it.
The last item is that we have carefully examined the proposal
to spend the revenue sharing money at the rate of a million five a
year for a new City Hall and the committee has been unanimous in
rejecting that proposal. I have nothing further to report at this
point.
Mayor Kennedy: Thank you Mr. Paul, is there any questions? of
Mr. Paul?
Mr. Plummer: The only question I had, is Mr. Paul do you have an
approximate date as to when your f:inal report will be forthcoming?
Mr. Paul: I would hope Mr. Plummer that we would be able to make
our final report some time at the end of February of the first part
of March.
Mr. Reese: Did I undel-stand correctly, that the committee unanimously
rejects the idea of building a City Hall or funding it through this
process?
Mr. Paul: Reject the idea of funding it through the revenue sharing
funds.
Mr. Reese: Rejects it?
Mr. Paul: Yes, rejects it.
Mayor Kennedy: Any other questions of Mr. Paul?
Dan, thank you very much.
Rev. Gibson: I want to thank him for saying that he is going to
make a short speech this morning.
3, COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROGRAM PROPOSAL -BOOKER T. WASHINGTON JR.HIGH
APPEARANCE BY MR. HENRY W. DANIELS
Mr. Henry W. Daniels representing Booker T. Washington Jr.
High School appeared and requested the City to donate funds in
a matching amount for the expansion of the Community School Program
to provide opportunity to carry services into the community, to
strengthen the bond between homes, community and school; that
there was an imminent need for the school as the representative of
the power structure, to be more fully understood by the people of
the community. Emphasis would be given toward the establishment
of an executive community organization structure within the comm=
unity, extension of library services, enrichment programs, recrea-
tional programs, family home -school counseling , and adult and vo-
cational programs.
He said the primary reason he was asking the City of Miami to
go a step further in their partnership in the community school
program is that about 11 years ago, the City signed on as a co-
sponsor of this community school program and for the past 11 years
had been donating F,S,000 to the County School Board each year to
make sure the program continues. No other funds have been given
to the programs themselves. The $5,000 simply establishes the
program but it doesn't let us do very much else and they were
5 JANUARY 11, 1972
• •
asking the city to become a fuller partner with them and help to
put in some programs that would help the people directly. This
proposal has 5 projects. Project "A" is Home -School Family Counseling
It is proposed to hire one part time instructor, 4 hours in the
afternoon, 4 days a week who will go out into the community and
knock on doors, talk to the citizens and find out what their
problems are and also work with the school staff and work with
potential dropouts and dropouts with their problems to make the
school a more positive factor in their lives.
Project "B" is Media Resource. We plan to open the library 4 after-
noons a week, 4 hours a day.
Project "C", is recreation. We intend to extend our recreational
offerings, possibly setting up a swimming program, perhaps at the
Williams Park Pool at Sth Avenue and 18th Street.
Project "D", is Vocational, Technical and Adult Education.
We have some shops for gas and marine engines, sheet metal welding
which should be open to adults in the afternoon and we would like
to open these shops and try to helpthe people of the area get more
job skills so they will be better qualified to enter the job market.
Project "E" the enrichment part of the program.
We intend to extend our musical program into community chorus,
band and guitar .
We are asking the City today to grant us the sum of $4,438.30 as
matching funds which would be a part of this project.
Mayor Kennedy: How many people would you be able to put on,on a
part time basis, with this money?
Mr. Daniels: Levels of people?
Mayor Kennedy : How many in total for all the various levels that
you just discussed?
4 or 5 new people you could put on?
Mr. Daniels: We would be able to put on about 9 people.
All part time. There would be no full time people in this part
of the program at all.
Mayor Kennedy: Right now the City is funding four community
school programs. There are more community school programs in the
City of Miami but we're not funding those, we are not helping to
fund those.
Mr. Reese: To the best of my knowledge, there are four in the
City and we are participating with each one of them. I don't
know of any other government that is participating with the school
board on the community school. Do you know of any?
Of any other government?
Mr. Daniels: The County government is participating, the City
of Coral Gables, City of South Miami, in fact, most of the cities.
Mr. Reese: But not in the City of Miami.
Mr. Daniels: Not in the City of Miami. We have federal programs
cooperating with two other community schools in the City of Miami.
Mayor Kennedy: What I am saying though is that there are more
than these four in the City but we are only sponsoring four at
the present time.
Mr. Reese: There is more schools than that but I don't know if
there are more school communityprograms because we just added
Edison Center.
Mayor Kennedy: Riverside etc.
Mr. Daniels: Primary "C", Booker T. Washington, Allapattah and
Edison make up the 6 that are in the City of Miami and the City
right now is funding 4 of those 6.
6 JANUARY 11, 1973
Mayor Kennedy: The point is these matching funds are going to be
available to them. If Jackson is in the Model Cities area and they
are going to apply to Model Cities for their matching funds.
What Mr. Daniels is asking for today is some help and as far as I
know, he is the only community school program of the 4 that we are
helping to fund, that is asking us for anything.
I think it will make a significant difference when you can put 9
more people to work and especially in an area that needs so badly,
the community school concept and the great things that come from
the program, that 9 additional people can make a tremendous diff-
erence and for the amount of money they are asking the City of Miami
to put up, some $4500 which they can get matching funds for, I
think its well worth it and thats why I asked Mr. Daniels to come
down here.
Mr. Reese: Mr. Mayor and members of the COmmission, I don't think
there is a bit of doubt of the value and the validity of the
program and the city has been carrying it on for a number of years
even though the same taxpayers are paying school taxes.
I think in fairness, we ought to have a chance to look at this to
see if we can possibly to do it and see if we can be funded and
can we do this participating. Because, I think we would like to
get together with the Board of Education on this too.
Mayor Kennedy: How long would it take?
Mr. Reese: We would have it ready for the next Commission meeting.
Mayor Kennedy: That is in your time schedule isn't it?
Mr. Daniels: That is in my time schedule.
Mayor Kennedy: If you will get together with Mr. Andrews and
he will tell you where to call for an appointment and if you can
bring all your stuff down then and get with the administration
and we will have an answer for you by the next meeting.
Mr. Reese: 445-4461.
Mr. Daniels: Thank you very much.
Rev. Gibson:
that right?
I understand they will be back on the.25th, is
Mr. Reese: Yes Sir, the 25th.
4, PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO THE CITY OF MIAMI FROM METRQPOLITAN
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Mr. Judson F. Chapin, Regional Vice President of Metropolitan
Life insurance Company appeared to present a plaque of appreciation
to the City of Miami to commemorate 45 years of handling the group
insurance policies for City employees.
He said there are few plans in the history of his company
that go back that far and complimented the City for their thinking
to provide this employee benefit back in a day when it was a novelty
to have such coverage.

12, MAILING OF CITY COMMISSION AGENDAS - DISCUSSION
Commissioner Gordon discussed the matter of the possibility
of mailing agendas to the public:
Mrs. Gordon: I have a letter here from Herbert Lee Simon, with
regard to receiving agendas through the mail. I know it has
been the policy of the City of Miami not to mail agendas to people
and I wonder if we might consider changing our policy. The County
does mail agendas and I think that it.is something that we might
want to do to inform people of what we are going to be taking up,
those organizations that might be interested in receiving this kind
of information. I think you forwarded this letter on to Mr. Reese.
Mr. Reese did you receive it?
Mr. Reese: I can't hear you Mrs. Gordon, I did get one part about
the proposal of mailing out agendas.
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Herbert Simon is requesting that the agendas be
mailed to the Realtor organization but I am speaking on a much
broader scale, that those organizations in this community that
desire to receive agendas and so notify us in writing, should
be put on a mailing list. The County does mail agendas to those
people who have specified an interest and I think the City should
do the same.
Mr. Reese: Well we have never set up an appropriate amount of
money to carry this out. The County has and of course their
funds are much more abundant than ours and we have endeavored to
make the agendas available through the public spaces we have like
libraries etc. that is carried out and we are overly generous in
anybody calling in to supply them with information and we lean
over backwards to notify people, which the county doesn't.
We receive an agenda from the County in the mail too but we always
get it the day after the Commission Meeting and these are some of
the problems that when you get into the mailing of the agenda
and it doesn't get to the people on time, then you have done more
damage than you have done good.
These are all the reasons that I have stayed away from mailing
out agendas. One of the major things is the cost item.
Mrs. Gordon: Well Mr. Reese, I personally feel that its a small
cost item and if we couldn't afford to pay it, that we would then
specify to those people, if you wish to receive it, that you pay
the cost of it but even so, we are not even doing it in that
manner. We're just saying NO, you can't receive it, you have to
go and get it. I don't really think thats-
Mr. Reese: Well if we had a central City Hall, or a well located
then it would be very easy to come and get it.
Mrs. Gordon: May I move that we adopt a policy that organizations
who request in writing to receive our agendas, that we comply.
Mr. Reese: Please Mrs. Gordon, if you will identify what is
an organization. The first thing we know, that is every radio
station, every person possible will write in and say, I would like
to have an agenda mailed to me.
Mrs. Gordon: And I don't see anything wrong in that. I think we
should provide agendas for the public at large.
Mr. Reese: I think they should be made available for information
but I don't think on an individual basis and I don't think the
City can afford to do it;
Mayor Kennedy: How much would it run?
Mr. Reese: I have no way of knowing Mr. Mayor but we would have
to get more personnel to do it and we will also have tobe in a
position to get it out and in the mail so that they receive it
at the same time the Commission receives it so its going to
mean more personnel.

JANUARY 11, 1973

•
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Reese, I still feel that we need to do this. Its
a public service, that is part of the function of the City to let
people know what we're taking up and I feel that if it requires
personnel, then we need to provide personnel. We need to provide
the funds that would take care of the mailing but it is not a large
item if radio stations want it, or newspapers need it, I think they
should have it and I still would move that we set a policy and let
it be known that we as a Commission want the public to know what
we are doing.
Mr. Reese: We don't want to deprive the public of what we're doing
but Mrs. Gordon, this is not a budget meeting. This is not at the
budget time for this. To bring this up at this particular time,
its just another item that is not brought forth at budget time.
Mr. Plummer: Mrs. Gordon, may I suggest. I think that the whole
Commission is in accord with you. Might I suggest, because this
thing could get out of hand and I know that and you know that.
Let us allow Mr. Reese to try to make a determination as to some-
what of cost and also set some guidelines in other words, that
all the radio stations, and all of the newspapers and all of the
TV channels b.e afforded the opportunity of this mailing with
some guidelines because I can forsee that you could have 2000 people
just write in and want it and that would be out of the question.
Mrs. Gordon: I would then move that this be done on a matter
of that if they provide the postage, they can have it, but I think
to deny the right of mailing it to people by saying, you must come
and get it, is really not fair to the people. It really isn't fair.
If they want to pay the postage and provide the mailing envelopes,
then we should provide putting it in the envelope and mailing it,
at least at this time.
I think we should do that. When we receive our agendas, they should
be mailed out at the same time.
Mr. Reese: I still want to point out that we are going to have
to put on added help to do it because one person who is working
on the agenda now cannot take on that added burden. She is working
overtime and everything else to get it done.
Mrs. Gordon: I have a request for about 8 or 10 agendas and I
don't really think Mr. Reese that you are going to have to supply
extra personnel for this. If it should get any further than this
then we can either discontinue this practice or we can put on
appropria::e help but I would like to see to it that these people
who have taken the trouble to write to us and request these agendas,
at least receive it.
Mr. Reese: Well Mrs. Gordon, I don't want to take this position
but you are putting me in this spot and I have to point out to you
that the Manager is responsible for the production of the people
and to make sure there is adequate personnel to carry out the
policies of this Commission. If the Commission decides that this
is the way that this should be handled, and recognizing the
workload that it is going to be, we have to make arrangements
immediately to put on an additional person. I just want to point
this out because your list there is not representative of everybody
that has requested copies of the agenda.
Mrs. Gordon: Then I still think we should make arrangements for the
personnel because this is a service that we owe the people.
I reiterate again, that this is not the point. I know that, I am
not saying that everyone is not working at top efficiency, I am
sure they are, but nevertheless the amount of extra work involved
could be worked into the program somewhere along the way.
If extra help is needed, then we should provide it but we can't
deny that we must send out agendas. We are a bid enough City and
we should provide it. The County provides it and we should provide
it.
Mr. Plummer: Mrs. Gordon, do I understand you correctly, that if
people are willing to pay for the service, that they be provided?
If thats the case then I am all for-
13 JANUARY 11, 1973
Mrs. Gordon: They they be provided, yes. Okay, lets start off
that way, at least they will get them. They'll pay the cost of
the postage and we'll provide them.
Mr. Plummer: That isn't what I said now. What I said was if they
are going to pay for the service, if the Manager tells us that is
cost X-number of dollars a month for the .two agendas to be supplied,
]I think they should have them. No question. If they are willing
to pay for the additional cost to have them. It should be provided.
Mrs. Gordon: Then lets take that route and move it that way and
then Mr. Reese can come back at the next meeting and tell us what
the cost is.
Mayor Kennedy: You aren't going to include the cost of secretaries?
And charge them for the cost of a secretary?
Mrs. Gordon: It sounds ridiculous but if that is the only way
we can get people an agenda.
Mayor Kennedy: That's ridiculous.
Mrs. Gordon: I think so too. I think the whole thing is
ridiculous. We are talking about pennies.
Mayor Kennedy: How many people are even going- if every radio and
television station and newspaper and a few organizations like the
Miami Board of Realtors. You are talking at the maximum of 100.
Mr. Reese: Mr. Mayor, we get requests from every civic organization
in the community. Very few law firms that practice before the
Commission is a position, and they do, send up here to get copies
of it, to get copies of the agenda. Now, if we start this -
Mayor Kennedy: You should make it a policy that when Law Firms
and to private people. Certainly, they can afford to have somebody
come down here because its been the policy of this Commission to
always make the agendas available to tt.e public but I think to
organizations, community organizations and to the news media in
general, that this should be a service that is supplied to them.
Mr. Reese: I think so to the people in the City of Miami but we
still- I still want to point out, there is a cost factor to the
people in the City of Miami but not to the radio stations that
are up in North Miami or Ft. Lauderdale.
Mrs. Gordon: I don't care if you want to limit it to the City
of Miami stations.
Mr. Reese: Also the organizations.
Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, would it be possible. I think the City
Manager has heard the sense of, would it be possible to give him
an opportunity to look into this matter if this agenda is sent
out to X-number of people at the rate of postage today, you could
just see what would happen if 1000 people said send me an agenda.
Mrs. Gordon: The County doesn't mail that many Father Gibson.
Rev. Gibson: And the City Manager just pointed out that the
County has more money to do that and I am in accord with the
service but I hope he will have an opportunity to look.
Mayor Kennedy: Do you have any other items Rose?
Mrs. Gordon: Yes, I want to see to it that this request is fulfilled
I think it is ridiculous as a grown city to say to people, you can't
have an agenda unless you come down to City Hall and I want to see to
it that this request that you received Mr. Mayor is fulfilled and I
handed you the letter because I have a copy of it on my desk.
I just want the records to reflect that I am moving this and this
letters request be fulfilled and we can take a position in that
direction, the Manager can come back at the next meeting what cost
factors are involved on an enlarged scale, but I would like to see
this letters request fulfilled.
14
JANUARY 11, 1973
Mr. Reese: Mr. Mayor, I would still like to suggest to the
Commission that you adopt a policy on this irrespective of
the realtors or the ones that initiated this or other people,
that you have to recognize that as soon as you do it, you
have to cover all people that are going to request it because
its only fair. You don't want to put the administration in
the position of saying, no you don't fall within this policy.
Mayor kennedy: Why don't you come back with your recommendation
next week.
On motion of Reverend Gibson seconded by Mrs. Gordon
that the matter be referred to the City Manager to come up
with a cost estimate and recommendation at the next meeting.
13, CONDEMNATION OF BALL POINT PROPERTY AND WAINRIGHT PARK-
REPORT BY CITY ATTORNEY
Mr. Rothstein: Mr. Mayor, if I may just to report to you that we
are preparing and will be filing some time next week, the lawsuits
for the condemnation of the Bali Point Property and the lot in the
middle of the Alice Wainright Park. The funds will be coming in
in April and the Order of Taking will be done right at the beginning
of April. On the 3rd area that was originally designated, the area
of the Coconut Grove Marina, Mr. Reese and I are reviewing that
matter and we will report to you after we review it.
Mr. Reese: What is the status of the F.E C. property?
Mr. Rothstein: There is going to be a hearing within the next two
weeks on the matter of the public necessity for the taking. F.E.C.
has taken a position because they are doing some trailer -transpor-
tation type of work opt of there, that they have a public necessity
in and of itself, and we will battle on that issue. Once that
issue is determined, then we will either be in a position to do an
order of taking because we will have succeeded or they will have
succeeded and we will take an appeal. I am sure they will take
an appeal but in any circumstance, if we are successful, we will do
an order of taking immediately.
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Rothstein, which Cou:^t is that in?
Mr. Rothstein: Circuit Court of Dade County.Judge Crawford.

15, CONDITIONAL USE -BANYAN BAY CLUB-MIAMI CLUB APARTMENTS
The Commission took up for consideration the matter of an
application for conditional use to permit construction of a
private club, Miami Club Apartments. The applicant was represented
by Mr. C. K. George, Attorney at Law.
Mr. George: When we left this matter before, I invited the members
of the Commission to visit the site to see if it wasn't everything
I represented it to be, a perfect location for a club.
We represented the membership would be limited to tenants and
residents of the apartments and to their guests and I now have an
affidavit of Belcher Oil Limited which is the owner and developer
of this property and I would like to file it with the City Clerk
to confirm our good faith in th4s matter.
Mr. Rothstein: This would be made part of the conditions so its
not a question of good faith. It will be part of the resolution.
Rev. Gibson: What about the reaction of the American Legion?
Mr. Plummer: Their concern as I recall Canon Gibson, was the
traffic over onto their area. It was brought out at that time
by Mr. George that this club would be on the opposite side of
their property. In other words, it would be to the south of
the American Legion Hall and natural access would be by 63rd
Street, not 64th where the LegionHall is.
Mrs. Gordon: This membership is limited to tenants and residents
of the property and their guests. Membership is available to
people who do not reside in the property by virtue of sponsorship
of a resident. Is that what that means?
Mr. Goerge: No, not at all. We are trying to limit it.
Mrs. Gordon: Membership in said private club will be limited to
tenants and residents and their guests. Membership being limited
to guests.
Mr. George: Tenants and residents o:: the property and their guests.
Mrs. Gordon: Well that means membership is available to non-residents
by virtue of sponsorship, according to the wax it reads. I didn't
write it.
Mr. George: I don't read it that way at all. If its vague or ambig-
ttous, we'll change it to anyway you want it.
Mr. Rothstein: In the resolution, we can put the terminology to
be very clear that the membership shall be limited to residents and
tenants however it is understood that the residents and tenants may
bring guests into the club, that kind of terminology.
Mr. William F. Lynch representing the American Legion re-
iterated his complains as stated at the previous meeting in behalf
of the senior citizen members of the club and that the proposed club
would constitute an additional traffic hazard.
Mr. Plummer expressed the opinion that the applicant had come
forward with application for privateclub which seemed to be under
proper circumstances since it was only for the residents and reminded
the Commission and those present of problems the City has had with
other private clubs in other parts of the city where membership had
not been controlled.
16 JANUARY 11, 1973
Mr. George again emphasized the main entrance to the Club would
be the Cul-De-Sac and said the club would not generate additional
traffic or create parking problems.
Mr. Lynch stated his opposition was based on the wishes of
2 to 3,000 members of the American Legion Club and in answering
Reverend Gibson, stated a meeting with the developers would be
helpful to arrive at a position beneficial to all.
Mayor Kennedy said the problem was not just with the objection
of the American Legion Club but with other neighbors since this is a
residential neighborhood and the private club proposed was not to be
compared such as those existing in Coconut Grove but essentially it
still was a private club in a residential neighborhood and said he
would hate to see the neighbors have the problems with parking and
related matters that persons have experienced in Coconut Grove.
The Mayor then suggested the developer meet with the neighbors and
representatives of the American Legion in an attempt to satisfy the
objectors.
Mr. Pinkhouse, 652 N. E. 63rd Street appeared and said he was
aware of the traffic problems and to shift it from 64th to 63rd Street
was no solution.
He again asked if the intention was to close off the street in
such a manner that the reparian rights would be denied to those
persons residing on N. E. 63rd Street.
Mr. Vincent Grimm reported asking the. City Attorney for an
opinion and that this piece of property was re -platted and a part
of that procedure is the rendering of an opinion of title as to
who owns this piece ofproperty and the opinion is that it is owned
by the present owner and if there is any disagreement in the matter
it is for the Court's to solve .
Mr. Rothstein reminded the Commission of a similar experience
at the Palm Bay Club where the same problem arose where the people
in the neighborhood had rights under the original platting to a
easement. THEREis no question where ownership lies but as to an
easement or reparian rights coming out of that, it would be a
private matter between the property owners and the owners of this
property but in the Palm Bay Club Case, the Commission suggested
and the plat being discussed is tentative and must ultimately come
to the Commission for approval, did suggest for final approval that
the Commission would look more favorably if in the plat itself,
whatever rights are in the private deeds, were protected and we
used that terminology. Actually what they did was put on the plat,
an easement which they are required to maintain open to the public.
The City Attorney then again reiterated that the easement was a
private matter that the City could not control but that the City did
have a measure of suggestion power to the owners of the property that
the new plat would reflect an easement right of way so that the local
neighbors would not lose their rights.
After further discussion on motion of Reverend Gibson, seconded
by Mr. Plummer, it was decided to defer the consideration of this
matter until January 25, 1973 at which time an answer definite, yes
or no, will be rendered and concevned neighbors, American Legion
and developers to arrange a meeting to discuss the situation.
A representative of the American Legion who identified himself
only as being a past commander stated the next meeting of the Board
of Trustees is on January 16th and invited the developers and the
neighbors to their meeting to discuss this matter.

21, VAQL E. DUPLEX- LOT 1. BLOCK 3. SPRING GARDENS (5-38)
Mr. Peter Rodriguez appeared to request consideration of
an application for variance to permit construction of a duplex
on property as described above.
Mrs. Gordon: Is there anyone here in objection to this item?
Any questions from the Commission? Any comments from the department?
Mr. Acton: We are of the opinion that the site is much too small
to be developed as a duplex site. It should be restricted as
provided in the zoning ordinance to a single family dwelling.
There are some very fine trees on this site which perhaps could
be saved if it is restricted to a single family site.
Mr.Rodriguez: I would preserve them even building the duplex.
I like those trees to stay, they don't have to be uprooted to
build a duplex. This site is very small and the setbacks on the
northwest 8th Street are 15' and the other setback for N. W. 7th
Court plus the side setback wouldn't leave me any room to build
any kind of structure unless I get these variances.
Mrs. Gordon: How many trees are you having to remove?
Mr. Rodriguez: I believe a couple. There is about 10 on this
particular site. I am just going to remove two.
Mrs. Gordon: I haven't seen the neighborhood. What does the
neighborhood look like?
Mr. Rodriguez: Its an area of older apartment buildings where
housing is very much in need. This particular site is zoned R-3.
Multiple density. I am only trying to build a small up and down
duplex. I believe new construction is very much in need in this
particular area.
Mrs. Gordon: Will that give you enough room
for parking? JANUARY 11, 1973
21
Mr. Rodriguez: Oh yes.
Mrs. Gordon: I think I would like to take a look at the site and
the neighborhood. Its a unique piece of property in the shape
so it does present a problem I would imagine.
Mr. Rodriguez: I submitted a feasability study to the Planning
board and I think they have a copy of it. If they have it, you
can take a look to see what I am planning to build. Its a small
2-bedroom duplex, up and down. Without the variances and setbacks
I can't get any use of my land.
Mrs. Gordon: What is the ground coverage of the size of the
development on the first floor?
Mr. Rodriguez: I don't know.
Mrs. Gordon: What I am trying to find oiit is how large is the
structure?
Mr. Acton, if he were going to build a single family unit on
one floor, wouldn't he be covering the same ground area?
Mr. Acton: Perhaps, but I was thinking too in terms of the amount
of space required for off-street parking. I do think that the
Commission would be well advised if they looked at the site
prior to making a decision on this application.
Mrs. Gordon: I am going to move to defer so we can have a chance
to go out and look at the site and the neighborhood.
Mr. Plummer: Seconded.
Mayor Kennedy: Deferred to the next meeting.
January 25, 1973.
22, ORDINANCE AMENDMENT- ARTICLE IV- SECTION 39 INTERIM ZONING DISTRICTS
Mr. George Acton, Director of the Planning Department outlined
the proposed amendment to the Commission.
Mr. Acton: This is the enabling legislation to permit the City of
Miami to develop interim zoning districts in those parts of the
City where its deemed advisable during the times when the,City is
trying to develop a comprehensive plan for a particular area.
If the Commission recalls, one of the items that did spur this was
the result of the building proposed accross from the Governmental
Center and during our review of the area, it was discovered that
the existing zoning pattern allowed many uses that would be det-
rimental and opposed to the general welfare of the City of Miami
if allowed to be built in proximity to the governmental center.
The purpose of the enabling legislation really is to allow the
City to put the type of controls in effect during a limited length
of time up to approximately usually a year or less depending on the
magnitude of the study. It will permit the City Commission to
eliminate certain uses that are deemed undesirable. To impose
height restrictions or to effect or modify the existing zoning
pattern in any waythey deem desirable to protect the public
welfare. That basically is the purpose of this enabling legislation
and there are two districts where we are considering interim zoning
controls. One of them is for the area around the downtown governmental
center and the other area is in the village commercial district in
Coconut Grove. Now, this enabling legislation requires that any
interim zoning regulations must go through the same process that
is presently followed. That is public hearings both at the Planning
and Zoning Board level and the City Commission prior to adoption
of any change in existing controls.
Mr. Plummer: Is it proposed in this ordinance that if in fact
we pass this today as proposed, before any specified area would be
put under this ordinance, would there be a public hearing?
In other words, we would not just arbitrarily go out and pick a
designated area.
JANUARY 11, 1973
22
Whether it be the C-3 downtown. In other words, all we are doing
today is creating the vehicle.
Mr. Acton: That's right.
Mrs. Gordon: I want to say that this is a vital necessity. There
are certain areas of the City that are under study and will receive
zoning changes and unless we have some controlling factors such as
this, and this is in my opinion, much better than any of the proposed
moratoriums that have previously been presented because this does not
stop development, this controls the kind of development that you wish
to achieve in the City and I compliment the Department on coming up
with this tool and I would like to move this, that we adopt this
enabling type of legislation.
Rev. Gibson: Second.
Mayor Kennedy: Seconded by Canon Gibson, any discussion on the
motion?
Mr. Caidin: My name is Stanley Caidin. The ordinance by itself
is enabling legislation. The minutes of the Planning Board indicate
that it is specifically designed in my opinion to hold down values
in the areas west of lockweod, formerly the railroad tracks, because
there is as stated by the Planning Board, a nebulous concept which
is a quote from the minutes, that there be something which is now
just pieces of paper with lines drawn around and with no method of
funding known to me or that I have been advised of and we call that
a government center. There have been probably more center sites
proposed than I have hairs on my head. However, even this proposed
center site is subject to change. I personally believe that since
the County has acquired its land which it claims not to have the
money to build upon, that it would make more sense if Flagler Street
was allowed to remain as a commercial and office building neighborhood
and the City -County Government Center from 1st Street over to 5th
Street and possibly on both sides of the expressway. There are
more expert reports differing as to site location so that I can
deem myself an expert in any event.
Of course my interest is that I have an interest in property on
the north east corner of Flagler Street and N. W. 2nd Avenue.
approximately 43,000 sq.ft. of land. This land is a state with
interim zoning and with newspaper article that make it difficult
for large scale private planning. Now for many years, I believe
that Flagler Street was going to expand to the west. In 1954, I
proposed to the City of Miami, a plan that the City Hall be•»built
between N. W. 2nd and 3rd Avenue on Flagler Street and in fact, the
property had been set up with various offers by the property owners
that they were all willing to sell. This would mean that there
would be traffic walking from East Flagler Street thru West Flagler
Street and that the area would be able to expand. Now it seems
that pending this nebulous zoning with an interim zoning, whether
its intended or not, the effect would be to retard any possibility
of progress on Flagler Street. The City of Miami has notified
people on the block on which I have property including myself that
the City of Miami does not intend to build a City Hall on that
block. Phase 1 of the City -County Government Center as originally
proposed said that the City of Miami would buy the land on Flagler
Street, the County would buy the land between First Street and
Second Street. I at one time received a letter from the City Manager
that the City of Miami would not buy that site.
In conclusion, and I could go on, I oppose the interim zoning
because by the minutes of the meeting it is directly planned for
one site and then the Coconut Grove site in which I have no financial
interest. THese two sites were specifically named.
You have a very comprehensive zoning ordinance which sets forth all
kind of regulations dealing with public health, welfare, safety
and morals and dealing with the method in which this property can
be used. Nothing can be done in that area to date which would not
constitute an improvement.
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Caidin, let me clear threcord because I think
there are two things you are discussing that is not pertinent
today. We are not considering the interim application to the
property that you own.
23
JANUARY 11, 1973
• •
We are simply creating an enabling type of ordinance which will
then permit us to take specific areas.
Number 2. The present zoning on your property is in a classification
which would limit you in your development considerably. You will
be personally better off with the interim zoning classification
applied to your property because it will then permit you in all
probability to develop something in excess of what you are permitted
under the present zoning and the reason ohy it must be treated
as an interim kind of overlay zoning is because of the study
that is in the works and which will recommend a permanent type
of zoning to be applied to the area because what you hare now is
C-4 and it is not becoming to a downtown area, the C-4 classification
is an unbecoming zoning classification.
Mr. Caidin: We think the property should be C-3 with the minimum
restrictions allowed like the property at 140 West Flagler Street.
Mrs. Gordon: Something will happen that will be better than what
you have so what we are doing today is not going to hurt you in
any way whatsoever.
Mr. Caidin: All right, thank you.
Mr. Garfield: Mr. Mayor and Commissioners, my name is Joseph
Garfield. Mrs. Myers and I own a piece of property west of the
courthouse, west of what was known as the railroad tracks and
which is now parking. We have a major piece of property under
40,000 feet. Its an important corner, we think in the City of
Miami's development plans. Its now labeled, its actually within
what they call the imaginary government center. It is my
understanding when I was here at the zoning hearing, when Mr.Revitz
secured his approval and permit for proceeding with his office
building on west Flagler and certain statements were made at that
time which encouraged us because we would hope to develop the
property. The encouragement was that several Commissioners made
the statement that the same kind of encouragement should be given
to other property owners in the area. He got certain variances
and certain improvements that he requested, that he waited for and
you thanked him for waiting and you encouraged :iim to proceed with
his building which I understand he is going to do. We were
encouraged by that hearing. We know that our zoning is C-4, we
think it should be C-3. We think that the City is not interested.
They have indicated by letter to us that they are not interested
in our property. The County has indicated they are on the fence
and they do not know how they feel about it. We would like to
proceed to upgrade that area. This area has been downgraded for a
long time. Its a shame for the City of Miami to have that kind of
an area the way it is with wine bottles all over the place and
its not right because it hasn't been developed.
Mr. Revitz's building will help that and if we proceed with a
development on our property, we think that will help it.
If Mr. Caidin proceeds with a development, we think that will
help and we want the Commission to encourage us to improve that
area, to provide more taxes for the City and to upgrade that part-
icular piece of property for the City of Miami and I oppose any
interim -
Mr. Plummer: Where is your property?
Mr. Garfield: We own the northeast corner of West Flagler and
First, directly accross from the parking lot, on the corner,
where Simms, the men's furnishing shop is. We have 150' on
Flagler and 190' on First Street, then it goes back along First
Avenue, we cover 3 streets. The only part we don't own is the
Standard Oil station which is on the other end.
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Acton, is that C-4 or C-3 that Mr. Garfield has
described?
Mr. Acton: Anything that lies west of the railroad tracks is
C-4.
Mrs. Gordon: Therefore, I would like to comment to you Mr.
Garfield, that what we are trying to do today will be a benefit
to you.
24
JANUARY 11, 1973
When the interim zoning is applied to this district and we have
just mentioned, there will be uses permitted and uses prevented
which would be detrimental to the area but uses permitted,
intensity permitted, as I understand it, Mr. Acton, you can back
me up if its true, that are in excess of what is permitted today
under the C-4 because when Mr. Revitz received his variances, the
comment was made to the department that since the intensity of
floor area ratio that was being given to him was setting a criteria,
that this criteria be included into the interim zoning classification
and the department agreed with me at that time. This criteria
should set a pattern for the area.
Mr. Acton: Commissioner Gordon, I said we would study that particular
request by you in light of the fact that we also have residential
uses allowed in the area that lies west of the railroad track
but the interim zoning classification is so set up that it does
give flexibility to the Commission.
Mrs. Gordon: Right, that's what I am trying to say, that we will
have flexibility and now you have no flexibility.
Mr. Garfield: Now, we have only the opinion of the Commission
that if we want to proceed with some major undertaking, that we
would get the same consideration that Mr. Revitz got. Thats all
we have at the moment but you are saying that if we are patient,
that this interim zoning will assist us in getting a better zoning
= classification.
Mrs. Gordon: Its interim exactly as the word says because we are
hoping that the study will be completed and we can put a permanent
classification on there which will be suitable for the area so
probably before we can develop your plans, perhaps, we may have
a permanent zoning on it but in the meantime, you will have an
interim which will be more flexible than what we have today.
Mr. Garfield: I see, thank you very kindly.
Mr. Winters: My name is Jerry Winters and our piece is 149 to 155
West Flagler, more or less opposite the new building which has been
approved for erection. I realize what you have said to the two
previous gentlemen, but I did want to be on record as saying that
our property lies between the two pieces that have been spoken of
so far and that I am in agreement with the remarks the two gentlemen
have made. Thank you.
Mr. Emmer: My name is John Emmer, I am the president this year of
the Coconut Grove Civic Club and I am here as representing 400
members of the Coconut Grove Civil Club. Last night we had the
good fortune of being addressed by Mr. Acton of the Planning Department
who explained to us exactly what is being proposed here today and also
the subsequent ordinances which are going to be proposed as interim
zoning districts.
We in Coconut Grove are in support of this enabling legislation.
This is not to say that we are getting involved today as the other
speakers before me have said, with a particular piece of property
in the Grove or anywhere else. The people in Coconut Grove have
taken a position in their fight before the City Commission for
certain areas in the Grove not just representing the Grove but also
the other member's of the City and the other parts of the City.
Many people have accused us of being very provincial and we are
only concerned about that area. That is why we are here today
speaking in favor of this enabling legisia tion. Once again,
we speak and we represent approximately 400 people and at the
meeting last night there were about 150 people that had come to
listen to the explanation. Unfortunately we did not receive copies
= of the enabling legislation in time to revi.ew it but just in
speaking on behalf of the people, we would like to say that we
appreciate the fact that this law is coming up and we want you to
know that we du support it, thank you very much.
Mr. Hannon: My name is Sam Hannon and I have a piece of property
accross the street from the Tamiami Hotel, Flagler Street to First
Street.
25
JANUARY 11, 1972
I have been actively working with adjacent property owners in an
attempt to develop that property and comes up with a plan for an
joint development. We have been holding that property for a 'very
long time waiting for the right time to move in there and try to
develop it and now I understand that we are faced with some type
of a moratorium with Mrs. Gordon's assurance that with enabling
legislation which will then allow you to place a moratorium.
Mrs. Gordon: Its not a moratorium. Its an over- lay.
An over -lay meaning, controlling the kind of development that will
come in. It doesn't prohibit development.
Mr. Hannon: By controlling it -
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Acton, why don't you speak to it please.
Mr. Hannon" I want to know what is to prevent the Commission,
after they have the enabling legislation, to declare, to acquire
all of this property and turn it into a park or some other facility
like that, a public facility. Nothing at all.
Mrs. Gordon: That's not what we are talking about. You are talking
about a moratorium. Its not a moratorium, its an overlay zoning
controlling the kind of development.
Mr. Acton: That is correct.Commissioner Gordon has stated that it
is not a moratorium. It does not freeze development at all. All
it does is to control the type of development so the development
will be in the public welfare interest. It does not freeze dev-
elopment.
Mr. Hannon: I am not sure that I understand it yet however I
guess after public hearings -
Mrs. Gordon: Today we are not taking any specific areas anyway
and when your area does come up, you will be back with us again
and at that time perhaps you will have some material in advance
that you can study and get more familiar with.
Mrs. Myers: It is my privelege to come before you on a personal
matter. For many years I have been busy with business that didn't
belong to me but to the whole county and the state. Now I am
interested in something that I helped to bring about and that is
the property that Mr. Garfield described, I bought that and it
was nothing and we developed it and we spent a great deal of money
and for awhile we were prospering and then came a story that the
city is taking the property and condeming it and then we began to
lose tenants and I believe I contacted the City Manager and he
wrote me a letter that the City is not going to be interested in
this property, but then I went to the County and I tried to get
the County to tell me what are they going to do with this property?
Ww were losing tenants and applicants for jobs were told that it is
going to be condemned and so that which we invested many maTy
hundreds of thousands of dollars has gone down the drain while I
was taking care of the school board and I just want you to know
that I am very much worried by this word moratorium.
Unless you make as a matter of record, what you specifically said
Mrs. Gordon and it is accepted by the members of the CCmmission,
we will not feel safe in going ahead. Mr. Garfield and I have plans
to go ahead and do something but we are not going to feel safe unless
you wilido this.
Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Acton, will you assure or re -assure Mrs. Myers?
Mr. Acton: Yes, again I reiterate, that the interim zoning
ordinance actually is in the interests of the property owners that
own land in the particular area in and around the governmental center.
The purpose really, the interim zoning regulations for that area is
not under discussion today and probably will not be for at least
another month or longer, but when that does occur, then is the time
really because the discussion will be a public hearing. Before the
City takes any action on your property or any others in the area,
everybody will be heard, all the property owners in that area and
the City puns on doing nothing that would be to the detriment
26 JANUARY 11, 1973
of the owners of the property in that area. We are just as
interested in proper and good development and keeping property
values up and as any of the private interests in that area.
Mrs. Myers: Thank you. Mrs. Gordon requested people to be notified
of agendas, I am going to please pay you some money so you will
please send me a copy of the agenda and not be a cost to the city.
Mr. Rothstein: The ordinance itself Maam provides for notice to
the property owners. You need not worry about it.
Mrs. Myers: I want a copy of the agenda, that's what I want.
Mr. Rothstein: Mr. Reese will note that.down.
Mrs. Myers: I will arrange it then with the City, Thank you very much.
Mrs. Calhoun: Mr. Mayor and Vice Mayor Gordon and Gentlemen of
the Commission. I am here before you today simply to encourage you
to pass the enabling ordinance. In the past few months, I have
spoken with many many, matter of fact, hundreds of people from the
Coconut Grove area who are deeply concerned about which way the
Grove is going to turn and the passing of this ordinance will give
the people confidence that there is an opportunity to set the
proper standards for the future growth of Coconut Grove and it has
been brought to my attention that perhaps there is a misunderstanding
about the position of the Chamber of Commerce of coconut Grove.
I believe they have changed their opinion after discussion and they
are as I understand it, very much for the passing of this enabling
ordinance, and so therefore I urge you please, to pass this ordinance.
Thank you.
Mayor Kennedy: Any other discussion?
The motion has been made and seconded, call the roll.

23, ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - ARTICLE IV, SECTION 20. RESTAURANTS IN
MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICTS
The proposed ordinance was explained by the Director of the
Planning Department to the members of the Commission:
Mr. Acton: This ordinance amendment places restaurants in the
same category as private clubs in terms of making them a conditional
use rather than a permitted use, we felt that it was in the interest
of the community to review the location of restaurants in certain
areas. Some areas would be well suited, others would not be.
This merely places restaurants under a conditional use classification
so that they can be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board, the
m. Department and the City Commission.
An Ordinance entitled -

" 24, CONTINUED WAIVER OF PARKING SPACES -LOTS 4,5.6.7 KARKEET SUB
Mr. Simpson: There are some people here who wish to speak on this
item. If you recall the original request for a change of zoning
on these lots and the Commission granted a conditional use for a one
year period and this is a review of the one year period and we have
a letter in the file they have received no complaints and the
inspection shows the property is in order.
Mrs. Love: I am Mrs. T. J. Love, and our property joins the
property being discussed here and I believe that our last meeting,
it was on the condition that they keep the property clean and that
really has not been done, there have been papers and we have called
their attention to it and also there is oil wastes that comes out
onto the grass and streets and its really not being cleaned up like
it should be. They have planted grass there and do not keep it
clean otherwise and papers come in our yard still.
Mayor Kennedy: Dave, have the Building T, Zoning checked this
property?
Mr. Reese: The Building Department evidently has given it a clean
report and I don't know if -
Mr. Simpson: Prior to scheduling the public hearing, we requested
28
JANUARY 11, 1973
an inspection by the Building Department and on December 21st
they wrote a reply to me, it says several field inspections
have been made by zoning personnel indicate the questioned property
is being maintained in accordance with the restrictions as outlined
in resolution 43155. No complaints have been registered according
to our available records. We recommend the resolution be
extended. This was the report of the Building Department, to me.
Mayor Kennedy: What I would like to do is Dave, check this out
with the neighbors and see if the Building Department can go out
there once again and point out to the ownership that there types
of violations are appearing.
Mr. Reese: I can have the building department go out and do that.
Mr. Love: Sir, this fence that they built, a new fence, solid fence,
they raised it about 8* off the ground and they still continue to
put those buses right up near us, cleaning them out, and the stuff
is blowing right out on 43rd street and anybody can go out there
and now, they are dumping oil out of those buses and its running
under the fence out to 43rd and killing the grass and shrubbery
that is growing there. We are getting rats from their area and if
you look over the fence and tell me thats a clean upkept area, I
don't know what they are looking at.
Mayor Kennedy: Mr. Reese, if you would have them go out there
with the neighbors, and they may know wh,:n an inspection is due and
clean it up for inspection -
Mr. Philip Schiff: Mr. Mayor, nobody cleaned it up for any inspection
because until I inquired or my partner inquired the other day, we had
no idea that there had been any inspection.
I represent the owners of the property.
Mrs. Love: We called out Mr. Rubin, came out and went over and
told us that they certainly do have a problem. He went out there
and told them and they cleaned it up and the next week, we had the
same problem we had before and I would like somebody to go out
there and look at this oil spill I am telling you about.
Rev. Gibson: The City Manager will check and we will hear on the
25th? Sir, if you will come back on the 25th then.
RECESS: The Commission was in recess at 12:20 O'Clock P.M.

ordinance was thereupon given its second and final reading by
title and passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES:
Messrs. Gibson, Plummer, Reboso, Mrs. Gordon and Mayor Kennedy.
NOES: None
Said Ordinance was designated Ordinance No. 8128.
Mrs. Rita Schiffter appeared to read a letter of objection
into the record concerning the foregoing ordinance.
Mrs. Schiffter: My name is Rita Schiffter, 831 N. W. 21 Court
this letter is Dated Jan. 11, 1973. Reference the meeting held
December 28, 1972, concerning the change of zoning classification
on N. W. 22nd Avenue, 825, Lots 17 thru 29 and 30 thru 34, less
E'ly 20' Block 1, Plainfield Park (15-61) because of my job
commitments, I delivered to you in person, a letter dated December
26, 1972, expressing the ob'ections of our neighborhood as a whole.
The same conditions exist and I am again writing you with copies
to the other Commissioners.
A previous request by Mr. Bernstein for a rezoning of this area was
turned down with the recommendation it be used for commercial
construction. The Planning Board at that time had recommended that
the request be turned down. The present Planning Board recommendation
of granting the request puzzles me since conditions have not changed
for the better, in fact they have worsened. It also puzzles me how
Mr. Bernstein could have begun sewer lines and setting up sanitation
facilities for workmen if the change was still in question. Also,
at the time Mr. Bernstein approached me and my wife about the second
petition for constructing apartments, he stated that a large 4-story
building was being constructed by Mr. Reboso, accross the street
from the Cuban shopping center which he, Mr. Reboso, had built on
the corner of llth Street and 22nd Avenue. We stated this was
accross the expressway and did not affect our feelings in the least
about what went on at the corner of 9th street and 22nd Avenue.
Since the Planning Board has recommended a change from C-1 Local
commercial and R-1 One -Family to R-4, medium density multiple.
I would like to refer you to the general land use master plan
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on November 30, 1965.
There have been 3 amendments since that date and none of these
amendments concerns our locality. Their definition of medium density
says 13.0 to 35.9 dwelling units per net residential acre. Does
the City of Miami have a different way of measuring the number of
dwelling units per net residential acre for medium density.
30
JANUARY 11, 1973
Mr. Bernstein has just about 55,000 sq.ft. which is supposed to
include parking spaces for these apartments. 11,440 sq.ft.more
than one acre. It seems to me that 60 1-bedroom apartments is
just a little much for the property he has if the City of Miami
uses the same measuring of the number of dwelling units per net
residential acre. I am very sorry not to be able to be at the
second reading, Most working people cannot afford to take time
from their jobs, sometimes sickness makes it impossible for others
to attend. I hope you will give this a great deal more thought
and if the R-4 is still granted, that someone will take it upon
themselves to make sure Mr. Bernstein sticks to what medium
density really means. My wife and I would like to continue to
live in Miami but it seems to me that man is making another stone
age for himself with all the cementing over land and high rises
that are going up and Miami is surpassing most places with much
less land to do with. Something has got to give and I hope it
is not always the individual' home owner.
Thank you for your attention and previous considerations,
Sincerely Yours, its signed and put his address on it with a P.S.
12 lots on 22nd Avenue 25 times 100 equals 35,000 sq.ft., the
property on 22nd Ave is the land supposed to be used for building
5 lots on 21 Ct. 50 X 100 less 20' is 20,000 sq.ft. and the land
on 21' ct. is supposed to be used for parking spaces. There is
a tota". of 55,000 sq.ft. which is not quite 1 a1:d 4 acre. The
corner of N.W.9th street are fraction of a foot more than wider
than the other lots however, it still holds that the area is
approximately 14 acres.
Mr. Reboso: Just for the record, I want to clarify that there is
no relationship between the Mr. Reboso that the lady is mentioning
and myself.
26, ORDINANCE AMENDING SEC. 50-11, REPEALING SECTIONS 50-75.
& 50-15 OF THE CODE PROVIDING FOR REMOVAL OF VESSELS UNLAWFULLY
LOCATED WITHIN THE AREAS DESCRIBED AS DINNER KEY MARINA YACHT BASIN
Mr. Paul W. Andrews, Assistant City Manager outlined the
proposed ordinance amendment to the Commission:
Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission. Item 24
and 25 are to be taken up concurrently while they will be acted
upon as separate items The two are required in order to provide
the City with greater control over the mooring areas within the
Dinner Key area as well as the area immediately to the bayside
at Bayfront Park. Principally, these two ordinances will accomplish
the following:'
1. To extend the area of control over the baybottom lands which
under ordinance now exist along this red line from that mole
area over to the tip of this mole area, following this mole
accross here and then the inside of that mole, back to the
landside.
The ordinances provide for controls in an area along the red
line, accross the front of the moles(Using charts to describe).
Starting at this point, the existing ordinances provide that
we have control over marina water area along this line from
the inside of these moles . This constitutes the area that
the ordinance gives us specific control over in the Dinner Key
area.
We propose an additional ordinance, to extend those lines. It
would embrace this area which overlaps on the Dinner Key Master Plan
which was adopted by the City Commission for the redevelopment of the
Dinner Key Marina and would place all of those waters inside of the
marina area.
31
JANUARY 11, i973
Additionally a second ordinance provides for incorporation,
exact language of the state law which we have been following to
include the state law as part of our city ordinances, enabling
the City to remove derelict boats in that same marina area.
The aerial photograph takein 1969 and the pictures on the outside
were taken on January 5th to describe some of the moorings and some
of the abandoned boats that remain in the area.
The boundaries shown are commenserate with boundaries established on
the Dinner Key Plan adopted by the City Commission after a public
hearing.
At the last Commission meeting prior to the adoption of these two
ordinances on first reading, Mr. Crouch appeared before the
Commission and registered certain comments with reference to the
use of this particular area of Dinner Kay where the commercial
fishermen are located and I would like to report to the City
Commission that we have provided berthing for each of the commercial
fisherman at the piers along the bulkhead. There are 15 such
spaces and they are all occupied by the original people who have
been fishing, have been located at Dinner Key. Boats and craft
that are located in the channel area and in an area that has been
identified as a special 100' strip are not the commercial fishermen
they are perhaps, the commercial fishermen have more than one boat
but the fishermen have been located at the bulkhead and are in
proper slips. This 100' area that Mr. Crouch wus referring to
is one of the exact areas that we feel we must control and it is
one of the areas undoubtedly that craft will have to be removed
from if we are going to operate successfully and again the Dinner
Key Plan.
Approximately 9 months ago, Mr. J. Dwayne Baker, Field Inspector
for the Internal Improvement Trust Fund inspected the mole areas
and reported to the City that the City must do something to clean
up the mole areas and remove the boats that are on the mole and
also sunken in the waters adjacent to the mole and he cautioned
the city that the trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund through
their dedication of these properties, baybottoms and the moles and
other islands in the bay, still are under the jurisdiction of the
trustees. In other words, we are responsible to the trustees for
how well we take care of these recreational waters and the fac':
that we make them available to the public in the manner that sole
reasonable standard of use.
The following proponents of the ordinance appeared and made
statements to the Commission:
Paul Andre, Chairman Marina Committee, Marine Council of Miami
Joe Taylor, Vice President, Bait Fishermans Assn. of Dade County
Amber Slocum, Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce
Fred Hutchinson, Commodore, Coconut Grove Sailing Club

Persons speaking in behalf of the ordinance stated it was
their opinion that these ordinances were necessary for the public
good and welfare and for the implementation of the Dinner Key Master
Plan -
Mr. Reese: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, there is an
aspect about the Marina development here that puts considerable
time emphasis on the'necessity of acticn. As you know, about 4 months
ago, you Commissioners adopted this master plan and we have had
inspectors here from the State of hlorida looking over the area
because we are in process of preparing an application to endeavor
to have these waters exempt under some of the controls that the
I.I.Board sets up because of the fill and at this particular
moment, we must take some positive steps in order to be in a position
to make this application. This is a simple aerial map of the
Dinner Key area, as it exists, this is an overlay of the master
plan. You will notice that the tie-in over here is a walkway
to get to these spoil islands, also to tie in here (using chart
and map) to develop this into additional piers. It is necessary to
take a positive step to get the boundary line of jurisdiction
established which is one of the proposals in the ordinance.
The other is to get these derelict boats out of here in order that
we can make the application to the I.I.Board knowing that we have
taken the necessary corrective steps and upon tht_ approval by the
State, assuming they do approve it, we have no reason to doubt
that they would not, then we are in a position to immediately program
these tie ins right here. These would be piers put in the water
with the necessary tie beams to run accross to bring people over
here. This would also be true at this end.
Undoubtedly we would be in a position to go ahead on these piers
but first of all, we have got to get the area cleaned up in order
to make the application, in order to be in a position to take the
necessary steps. To get the program accomplished within the time
schedule that has been set up.
Persons appearing in opposition to the proposed ordinances
asked for definitions of "derelict Boats". The City Attorney
advised the problem would be resolved when the ordinances were in
effect because all persons would have to have writter permission
to be anchored in the area and the city would then have knowledge
if persons were working on the boats and they would not be towed
away and that the enabling ordinance as proposed would give the
City power to maintain order where there is no order now and pro-
vide for knowledge of ownership of the boats. The statements against
complained of not sufficient docking spaces and waiting lists for
same, denial of shower facilities and dinghy landing areas.
Mayor Kennedy emphasized after long duscussions were heard
by objectors, that the merits of the ordinance was what was being
discussed today and not the legality of it. He indicated that
once the ordinances were passed, any challenges to their
legality would have to be properly made in the Circuit Court of
Dade County.
After an extensive continuation of hearing the comments of
all of those present that wished to speak on the proposed ordinances
the City Manager stated that he would attempt working out some mooring
spaces for some of the boat owners but emphasized that under no
circumstances would there be sufficient spaces for all of the persons
who are presently moored in the subject area and that the City could
not possibly build facilities fast enough. Mr. Reese replying to a
question regarding the oicr Coast Guard facility stated that the property
had to be used for recreational purposes as set forth by the federal
government and that mooring in the channel entrance to the property
was not permitted.
The matter was deferred to the meeting of January 25, 1973
at which time the City Aanager will report to the Commission on
possibility of some mooring spaces, a date to begin enforcement of
the ordinances fey towing as necessary, rates to be charged for the
temporary mooring spaces.

JANUARY 11, 1973
Mayor Kennedy: There are some people here that are in the
docking area out there to be on the list to be able to get into
the Marina and I imagine they would be given preference over some
transient that may have just pulled up in the docking areas.
I think it is incumbent to let you know what this Commission
thinks is fair and I think that class deserves preference over
transients that have just arrived.
Additionally and during the interim period only, the City
Manager stated upon the return of the Director of the Yacht •
Docks Department, he would discuss the problem of an area where
dinghy's could be landed and said between now and Monday, the
dinghy's would not be disturbed, pending Mr. Jennings return.

29, CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT SALINITY DAM TAIIIAMI CANAL
Mr. Reese: This item Mr. Mayor is to build a fresh water dam up
in the Tamiami Canal and this is proposed by the Corps of Engineers
but also by the Flood control people but before you move on it, it
was suggested in a letter that I wrote, that they ask the County
who has to act on this, that the County hold a public hearing and
notify all people concerned. There is an individual here from the
Marine Council that didn't know the County acted on this. The
Executive Director, Mr. Hagin, didn't know that this was acted on.
I don't know if they held the public hearing, or not but it is the
obligation of the county to hold this public hearing, not the City
and I would suggest that we be allowed enough time to find out if
a public hearing was held, if it was not, ask the County to hold a
public hearing.
The matter was then deferred at the request of the City Manager
to be reset when answers are obtained.
30, PARKING SPACES DURING NATURALIZATION CEREMONIES-BAYFRONT PARK
Mayor Kennedy: I asked Mr. Henry Simone to come down here. This
morning we voted to give the Federal Judge Adkins permission for
Naturalization Swearing in ceremonies in Bayfront Park. I found
out that there has posed a problem here in the past with the boat
owners who are paying rent and are renting from the City, that
when these ceremonies arc held, that there is no parking space for
anybody else available and they were wondering if the City could
mark off a certain amount of spaces for people who are going there
to take the pleasure boats out, or the fishing boats out, during
these sewaring in ceremonies.
Mr. Reese:. That is going to be very diffucult Mr. Mayor but maybe
we could work out something with the Off -Street Parking.
Unidentified Man: I own two boats down there and they are both
passenger carrying fishing boats and there are other boats there
too, its not only me, and its not particularly naturalization
ceremonies, there are other occasions when the auditorium is used
and we just don't have any parking space and we would like the
same priveleges as the restaurant has and the auditorium has, they
always have their parking space available. I talked to Dick La Baw
about it and we would be perfectly willing, if you said that we could
have X-number of spaces, to fill those meters, and the off-street
parking wouldn't lose any money by it. Last Thursday, I lost a
$275.00 day if I had had 12 or 14 parking meters, it would have
been nice and it was particularly bad after losing the time we did
with the bad weather over the holidays. If there is some way
you could bag the meters or do something, just so we would have an
average of a dozen meters. We would fill the meters, there would
be no loss of revenue.
Mr. Reese: Mr. Mayor, as I said, I would gladly discuss it with
the Off -Street Parking, but as far as the restaurant having parking
spaces over there, the restaurant has got that under the lease of
the restaurant facilities because according to your city ordinance,
they have to have so many spaces.

53, CONFLICT OF INTEREST ORDINANCE -REPORT BY CITY ATTORNEY
Mr. Rothstein: Mr. Mayor, put in front of you a brief memorandum
on the County conflict of interest ordinance and I have advised you
that I have reviewed the proposed conflict of interest ordinance
presented by the county attorney to the County Commission which is
proposed to be applied to the cities in Dade County.
in my review of the ordinance, I find that a large portion of the
ordinance is so vague and indefinite and fails to set standards
which are required by the constitution and the laws of the State of
Florida, that I cannot recommend it legally since there are even
several cases which can be presented to the County Attorney for his
examination, which will reflect the unconstitutionality of the
major portions of the ordinances.
The problems with a vague ordinance are, the only way that you can
test it, is after you get arrested and I don't think anybody would
like to have that course.
I recommend that the City Commission go on record to recommend to the
County Commission, that it does not take action on this ordinance
on January 23, but that the ordinance be referred to the joint
liason committee of the County and the Municipalities for review
and study and for legal examination and consultation. I want you
to pass a resolution in which you recommend to the County Commission
that they refer that conflict of interest ordinance to the joint
liason committee, county and city.
Mr. Plummer: We've already done it from this body to the liason
committee. Now, what you are asking us, is to ask the county
commission to refer it also to the liason committee.
Mr. Rothstein: Or a resolution requesting that the Dade League
of Municipalities do so, or instruct Mr. Turner who is going to
represent us there that we are authorized to give this opinion to
the Dade League of Municipalities from us to the City Attorney.
Mr. Plummer: I think that's perfectly fair when two weeks ago,
we asked the Dade League to step into this matter, that we should
authorize Mr. Turner, the latitude that he needs.
Mr. Rothstein: To give my opinion to the Dade League.
Mr. Plummer: I think its well in accord and I think it was also
requested of all the other municipalities that they do likewise.
Mt: Rothstein: I think we ought to have an authorization.
Mr. Plummer: Do you want that in the form of a motion?
Mr. Rothstein: No I don't need a motion but if you would tell me
generally that I could get it, I'll give my opinion then.
Mr. Plummer: At the Dade League?
Mr. Rothstein: Yes.
Mr. Plummer: Now, let me ask you at the liason or at tonight's
meeting?
Mr. Rothstein: Tonight's meeting.
Mr. Plummer: I see nothing wrong with it, you have saved me a
lot of communications.
Does the rest of the Commission understand what he asked for and
will receive?
Mr .Rothstein: What I have asked for is that ordinance is so vague
that I suggest it needs further study and there is a meeting tonight
of the Dade League and I would justlike to give them my opinion.

54, STATUS OF OLD DOCKS PROPERTY- REPORT BY CITY MANAGER
Mr. Reese: This site here on Monday was visited on Monday by the
staff people from Tallahassee and the different agencies that have
to approve our application to get the necessary permits and permission
to proceed on this. After considerable discussion with the engineer
and also the people who were here bringing forth all of the ramif-
ications, it was pointed out that it appears we have fairly acceptable
basic concept plan that would be accepted.
That is why we are very concerned about this particular condemnation
because of this deep water area and then there is another thing that
I would like for the City Commission, if you would want to act on it
tonight or consider acting on it, there is a resolution on our books
that makes it mandatory that no more filling go in to the west of the
Bayfront Park, waterside. This Stone Plan, as the Commission approved
it, does show some filling in this area, out within the prescribed
limits of filling and what I am suggesting is, that you might want
to consider voicing a vote to wash out t:lis existing ordinance.
The resolution that's on the books was expressed at a considerable
emotional discussion, that at no time, should there be any filling
in the Bayfront Park and the people who were at the public hearing
expressed themselves to be very much in favor of the plan but evid-
ently, they forgot about the resolution on the books. So I would
suggest that if you are so inclined, that you may want to cancel
out the resolution. The resolution that was passed when Maurice
Ferre was here and so on at a public hearing and I think I am
correct in saying that Mr. Paul was here at that time, they said
under no conditions, would there be any filling going into this
Bay. That resolution is still on the books and I am suggesting that
you might want to consider it as a policy change because you have
adopted this revised plan, you've adopted it at a public hearing,
Mayor Kennedy: I think you ought to have a public hearing on it.
I think we are going to have to have a public hearing.
Mr. Reese:
Mrs. Gordon:
part of it.
Mr. Reese:
You have already had a public hearing on it.
I don't think the people were aware of that particular
It was brought out.
Mayor Kennedy: But, I think to be safe, advertise it for the next
meeting as a public hearing and have it as an item and I think it
ought to clearly say, that as long as its only for green space,
not for any filling for the purpose of putting any buildings or
parking in the park, but only for increasing green space and have
the public hearing next time.
Mr. Reese: I wanted to point out to the Commission, that we had met
with the State people and we are now in the process of making out the
application.
