Miami-Dade is currently meeting its LOS standards for wastewater service. However, the County is projecting an increase in demand, which will require an expanded treatment plant for wastewater. Stormwater and Drainaae Facilities The City of Sunny Isles Beach provides man-made drainage facilities, which include drainage systems and pumping stations to serve Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard (SR 826), the William Lehman Causeway (SR 856), Golden Shores and the multifamily developments on North Bay Road and in the southwestern portion of the City. To effectively provide for the drainage of storm water, all development is required to satisfy the Stormwater Management Level of Service for the City. This standard includes both a Flood Protection (FP) and Water Quality (WQ) component. The City reviews drainage plans submitted by developers to assure they meet these requirements. Approval from SFWMD shall be obtained prior to issuance of any site development permit. Solid Waste Miami-Dade County provides solid waste pickup services for the two communities containing single-family homes: Golden Shores and Atlantic Isle. The condominiums and hotels are all serviced by private refuse companies, The waste is transported to the North Miami Dade Landfill located on NW 4ih Avenue. This landfill takes in approximately two hundred thousand tons of refuse annually and has the current capacity to handle an additional five million tons. The standard level of service established is 9,9 pounds per day per capita. The County estimates the system has the capacity to accommodate the countywide needs for the next ten years. This range is not expected to be significantly impacted by the growth of Sunny Isles Beach, nor will it negatively affect the County's facilities, Parks. Opens Space and Recreation In 2000 the City had four municipal parks and open space totaling approximately 15.9 acres. There are two significant parks within the immediate vicinity of the City, but outside its boundaries: The State's Oleta River Recreational area-an 850-acre park, including mangrove preserves, to the west of the City, and the County's Haulover Beach Park-a 189-acre site just south of the City. Currently, the City has a total of five parks and fifteen beach access points. Currently, the City is moving forward with Active Park. The City has increased their total park area by 6 acres. This increase was due to the City of Sunny Isles Beach converting 2.5 acres of Medium to High Residential land and 3,5 acres of Neighborhood Business space to Recreation and Open Space, resulting in the creation of an additional neighborhood park.
