<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting <br /> <br />April 15,2004 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />Action: City Clerk Hines read the title and Cultural and Human Services Director Susan <br />Simpson reported. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: George Puig, Project Manager with Miller, Legg & Assoc.; Jaime <br />Borelli, with Borelli and Associates <br /> <br />Commissioner Thaler commented that since we first started this, that we decided that <br />there was going to be a school in the vicinity, north of the park, therefore the street and <br />parking will have to be taken out due to State law. Mr. Puig said that we would have to <br />create a cul-de-sac or a hammerhead on 182nd Drive, in order to have traffic turn around. <br />City Manager Russo said that we may need to change the traffic patterns and close it off <br />to public travel, but how it ends up being reconfigured would be when we get a school <br />proposal across the street, and the parking would have to be eliminated. Mayor Edelcup <br />asked if it would be advisable to put a schematic to the north that would basically show <br />how a school would fit into it. City Manager Russo said we can look at it but the amount <br />of area that we are developing as part of this project would not affect that, and he asked <br />Ms. Simpson if that parking is part of what gets lined or was it part of the paver type <br />parking, and Ms. Simpson said it was going to be lined on the street, and City Manager <br />Russo said that it is insignificant then. Ms. Simpson noted that the handicapped parking <br />spaces needs to be kept close to the Community Center, and City Manager Russo said <br />right, and that the park will be finished sooner than the school, and that it can be adjusted <br />when we get the school plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thaler asked if the main entrance would be changed, and Vice Mayor <br />Goodman noted that there are two entrances to the park, and City Manager Russo said <br />that the main entrance is across from where we anticipate putting the school, on 182nd <br />Drive. Commissioner Thaler asked to see some sketches with the entrance flipped. <br /> <br />Mayor Ede1cup said in looking at the plan, he does not see where any locker rooms were <br />provided and he strongly recommends that a locker room be provided. Mayor Edelcup <br />asked if the bathroom facilities are adequate, and Mr. Jaime Borreli of Borreli and <br />Associates, reported that the restroom facilities in the plan, more than meets the <br />requirements. <br /> <br />After discussion it was decided to defer this item to May 20, 2004, in order to prepare <br />amended schematic plans. <br /> <br />9B.
