Regular City Commission Meeting Summary Minutes February 21, 2002 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida Mr. Price asserted that the variance requests in their zoning application that the Commission would be considering in March, had been prepared based on the assumption that the vacation was favorably approved. [City Clerk's note: see comments below for Mr. Vera's correction regarding that assumptionJ Commissioner Edelcup moved and Commissioner Goodman seconded a motion to deny the request. The motion to deny was approved by a roll call vote of 3-2 in favor. Vote: Commissioner Ede1cup ~ Commissioner Goodman ~ Commissioner Kauffman ~ Vice Mayor Iglesias no Mayor Samson no Mr. Price then asked the Commission to reconsider the motion, and then to allow him to withdraw the vacation request. He stated that he would prefer to present the requested vacation again in March, when the zoning application for the project would be heard, without having the previous denial being on the record. Vice Mayor Iglesias asked Mr. Price to present the zoning application both with the assumption of the vacation being granted, and also under the assumption that the application was status quo, without the land being vacated. Commissioner Kauffman moved and Commissioner Edelcup seconded a motion to reconsider the motion. City Clerk Brown-Morilla and City Attorney Dannheisser sought to clarify procedural issues. After discussion, the motion to reconsider was withdrawn. City Clerk Brown-Morilla sought clarification regarding the necessary legal wording of the public notice that would be required in-light of Mr. Price's statement that the zoning application for consideration in March was based on the assumption that the vacation was approved, coupled with Vice Mayor Iglesias' request to consider two alternative versions of the zoning application. Jorge Vera clarified that Mr. Price's assumption was incorrect, since the wording of the public zoning notice was written without an assumption that the vacation of the right-of-way had been approved; and so the wording of the current zoning notice would be accurate and sufficient. 9B.
