Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting July 17,2003 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> TDRs are going to come from a public sender site or a private sender site. Mr. Vera said <br /> for them to use the TDRs they have to submit an application to come before us to <br /> establish the sender site and the cost on the square footage. Mr. Shubin asked Mr. Vera if <br /> he has received that application yet,and Mr. Vera said no,and Mr. Shubin asked if he has <br /> been told when he will receive it, and Mr. Vera said more than likely after this has been <br /> approved. Mr. Shubin asked if at that point there will be another public hearing, and Mr. <br /> Vera answered yes. Mr. Shubin asked if there will be notice provided as part of that <br /> public hearing, and Mr. Vera said yes. <br /> Mr. Shubin asked Mr. Vera if he is familiar with the provisions in the Comprehensive <br /> Plan generally, regarding Intergovernmental Coordination, and Mr. Vera said yes. Mr. <br /> Shubin asked if he is familiar with requirements to provide adjoining municipalities with <br /> notice,and Mr. Vera said that it does say that adjoining municipalities shall receive notice. <br /> Mr. Shubin said with respect to Golden Beach that there is specific provisions in the <br /> Comprehensive Plan that require certain levels of notice for property that is going to be <br /> developed within 500-feet of the municipal boundary of Golden Beach, with the <br /> understanding that the purpose of this notice is to allow the Town of Golden Beach to <br /> comment. Mr. Vera said it was placed in the Comprehensive Plan but the notice <br /> provision, he stated that this is the first time he has heard about it from being in the <br /> County and the first time he has heard that we have to provide notice to the adjoining <br /> municipal, and what he has heard prior, that Golden Beach had to come here and sit <br /> before the Commission on the Master Plan, LDRs and no one showed up. <br /> Mr. Shubin said that the site is the issue tonight, and asked if that adjoined the municipal <br /> boundary of Golden Beach, and Mr. Vera said yes. He asked Mr. Vera what is presently <br /> situated on the Golden Beach side of the boundary, and Mr. Vera answered it is a one- <br /> level, single-family residence. He asked Mr. Vera, if he knew of any forty-story building <br /> that is situated next to a one-story single family home, and Mr. Vera could not off-hand <br /> answer that question. Mr. Shubin asked Mr. Vera if he ever undertook an evaluation of <br /> whether or not this proposed project was somehow compatible with the existing as-built <br /> character of the Town of Golden Beach, and Mr. Price objected to the question,saying the <br /> test was consistent with the City's Master Plan, not Golden Beach's Master Plan. Mr. <br /> Shubin said that he will be making references, when necessary, to the relevant provisions <br /> of the Sunny Isles Beach Master Plan and for the record he will incorporate the entire <br /> Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the Sunny Isles Beach Comprehensive Plan <br /> into this record. He asked Mr. Vera if in his opinion, if there is a requirement under the <br /> Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the Sunny Isles Beach Comprehensive Plan <br /> that the City takes into consideration the compatibility of proposed structures with the <br /> existing as-built community of Golden Beach, and Mr. Vera said that the City is doing it <br /> correctly, legally, under our Comprehensive Plan. City Attorney Dannheisser noted that <br /> with respect to the Intergovemmental Coordination Element of the Comprehensive Plan, <br /> there is no legal mandate that that element be placed in our LDRs, there was no mandate <br /> to carry that out as a specific procedure and the Town of Golden Beach was, in fact, <br /> noticed every single time we had a public hearing relating to our LDRs,just as everyone <br /> 6 <br />
