Hans Ottiiio(City Attorney
City of Sunny Isles Bea(:h
Sunny Isles Beach Government Center
18070 Collins Avenue
8Ulmy Isles Beach, FL :\3160
Dear Mr. Ottinot:
You have asked me to analyze Respondent Vanguard Car Rental USA Inc.'s Motion to
Tax Attorney's Fees, Expert's Fees, and Costs ("Motion") and to evaluate whether the claim by
Vanguard Rental USA Inc. ("Vanguard") fOT payment of attorney's fees is appropriate under
applicable eminent domain Jaw and Paragraph 20 of the First Addel1dum to Lease Agreement
between the City of SUIlllY Isles Beach and Vanguard ("First Addendum"). In evaluating
Vanguard's claim for a11omey's fees~ I have reviewed and analyzed all time records, pleading
and correspondence fill~:s provided by Vanguard's counsel, and relevant eminent domain
statutory and common hw regarding payment of attorney's fees. I have also analyzed the First
Addendum and an appr~iser's valuation of Vanguard's leasehold estate. My analysis reveals that
Vanguard's Motion is legally appropriate.
Under F3.092, Florida Statutes, attomey's fees are payable by a condemnor to an owner
whose property is acquired through eminent domain. A party that is named as a respondent 1n a
petition in eminent domain and that holds a leasehold estate is considered an owner for the
purpose of entitlement tt) attorney's fees.
Customarily, analysis of Vanguard's claim for attomey's fees would fall under
~73.092(2) because an sHomey's defense of an owner of a leasehold estate named in a petition in
eminent domain is ordinarily viewed as an apportionment claim. Under g73.092(2), a valiety of
factors are utilized to as~;ess attorney's fees payable for those services, such as defeating a talcing,
apportionment, or supph~mental proceedings, that fall outside of the traditional calculation of
Letter to Hans Ottinot, City Attomey

fees under ~73.092(l). However, in this matter, the City and Vanguard negotiated an agreement
whereby Vanguard's leil~ehold estate was 110t extinguished by an order of taking. Instead, the
property at issue was taken subject to VanglUlrd's property interest. Thus, apporti0l1J11ellt of full
compensation between the owner of the leased fee (18100 Collins Avenue Shopping Center,
Ltd.) and Vanguard was unnecessary. It is the renegotiation of Vanguard's property interest
through the First Addc:ndum that creates a quantifiable benefit in favor of Vanguard,
Accordingly, Vanguard':) claim for attorney's fees should be analyzed under ~73.092(1).
The primary COll:;lderation for calculating attomey's fees under g73.092(1) is "'benefits
achieved for the cliem," I have investigated and confirmed several quantifiable benefits
achieved by Vanguard's COLlllsel under terms of the First Addendum:
. the value of the leasehold estate as detel1Ilined by the City's appraiser increased
from $liO,OOO to $450,000 during the.represcntation, $180,000 of which is
irrnnedia1l::1y payable upon commencement of the revised lease term
. the redu( lion in the size of the leased premises and associated 50% decrease in
rent is fal/orable to Vanguard by permitting continued access to Collins Avenue
and to ex i~ting fuel pumps
. the City must pay Vanguard for relocation costs upon early tennination of the
leasehold estate
. the City must pay Vanguard for the fair market value of improvements upon early
termination of the leasehold estate
. by avoiding the taking of its property interest under the First Addendum,
Vanguard's counsel eliminated disruption of, and risk to, Vanguard's business
operatiO!l for at least four years
Although the teans of the First Addendum negotiated by Vanguard's cOlIDsel would be
diffi.cu1t to quantify, th~lY definitely provide a financial benefit. Accordingly, I recommend
payment by the City of rile fees claimed by counsel for Vangu.ard.
Please contact nll~ if YOLl have any questions or would like additional infonnation, It has
been a pleasure workinf', with you on behalf of the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
Very trllI y yours,
f\\hU~
