A Presentation by Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. regarding the Reconstruction of <br /> 1721'd Street. <br /> (Deferred 9/18/03) <br /> Action: City Manager Russo and Shelley Eichner of Calvin, Giordano & Associates, <br /> Inc., made a digital graphic presentation on the reconstruction of 172nd Street. City <br /> Manager Russo noted that the Miami-Dade County Sewer Department will, at their own <br /> expense, replace the sewer line from North Bay Road. He also noted that this project is <br /> being added into the Capital Plan to be moved on this Fiscal Year. <br /> 11B. Verbal Report of City Attorney regarding Zoning Consultant. <br /> Action: City Attorney Dannheisser reported that Miriam Maer, Esq.,has been retained <br /> as the City's Special Counsel on Zoning matters, and that we will pass the cost along to <br /> the Developers. She noted that Ms. Maer was the Assistant City Attorney for the City of <br /> Miami, handling zoning, the Parking Authority, towing issues, etc., and that she is now <br /> available in her retired status for consultant work. <br /> City Attorney Dannheisser answered the questions that Commissioner Iglesias asked on <br /> why we needed another consultant. <br /> 11C. Add-On <br /> Discussion regarding the Sales Trailers on the vacant property by the Arlen House. <br /> Action: City Manager Russo asked for direction from the City Commission regarding <br /> complaints that he has been getting on the vacant lots by the Arlen House, because the <br /> developer has Sales Trailers on that property. He thought it would serve the City better <br /> to require a landscape plan and the completion of the sales trailers in an aesthetically <br /> pleasing plan approved by the City,its consultants and our Landscape Architect,to have <br /> that set up but not to be used until such time as an approval is granted. Mayor Edelcup <br /> felt that it was better to have that property developed in a landscaped sales trailer mode <br /> then to leave it vacant and full of weeds. Planning and Zoning Administrator Jorge Vera <br /> noted that it would have to be approved through a public hearing as a conditional use, <br /> and that it would take about two months. He noted that they have filed for an application <br /> but that there is no development approval for that service trailer to be put on that land. <br /> 13 <br />
