Action: City Clerk Hines read the title and Shelley Eichner, Planner, reported and noted that
this item would be heard with item 6B authorizing the transfer of development rights, and
lOA to sever the Unity of Title for Tract D.
Mayor Ede1cup said that this land would be of interest to the City to add to its park inventory
however he said that under the Park Enhancement Bonus he would not want to accept this
piece of property because he doesn't believe it is a top priority to the City but he would look
at it under the Town Center Ordinance, and he asked the proponent to speak on this issue.
Public Speakers: Dave Metzner, Bradford Group; Audrey Bekoff; Phillip Chernoff; Henry
Kay; Mary Ann Eicke; Irving Diamond; Kathleen Kennedy; Bud Scholl; Herb Abramson;
Roz Fabian; Israel Pellot
Mr. Dave Metzner, Director of Development ofthe Bradford Group, the managing partner of
Port Bellagio that owns the property in question, said that his company has agreed to split the
base TDRs and have the City decide where they want to use [theirs] to benefit the City, and
they will take their share [under the Town Center Underlying Zoning Ordinance] and will
Draft 011305 Summay Mins.Doc
Page 3 of 15
Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 13,2005
City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
improve some ofthe properties in the City. Mayor Edelcup said ifhe understands correctly,
that what Mr. Metzner is offering is to accept half the amount of TDRs that they could
otherwise obtain on this property [under the regular zoning] and donate half ofthose TDRs to
the City and the City could then put them into their TDR inventory. He confirmed that Mr.
Metzner would be willing to do that under the Town Center Ordinance Zoning provisions,
and Mr. Metzner said that he would agree to that. Mayor Edelcup clarified that if the
calculations were as given that we have approximately 400,000 square feet ofTDRs under
the Public Enhancement Bonus and that would drop to approximately 260,000 square feet
under the Town Center Ordinance and ofthe 260,000 square feet, Mr. Metzner would gift to
the City half of those or approximately 130,000 square feet or roughly $6 Million, for the
City to have in its TDR Bank to be used for whatever purposes the City so chooses to do with
those TDRs, and Mr. Metzner said that is correct.
Commissioner Iglesias said that is very generous and that the City would certainly take what
is given to them but he remembers back when this land was offered to the City and the City
didn't want it because at that time it was land locked and pretty much useless but now he
feels just the opposite now that the City has the Casino property and that strip has become
very valuable. He believed that we should consider the property under the Park
Enhancement Bonus. After discussion Commissioner Iglesias clarified that what he is saying
is he accepts what Mr. Metzner is giving to the City but what he is also saying is that he
thinks we should give the Park Enhancement Bonus the same amount and that Mr. Metzner
relinquish that part that he wants to give to the City so we treat all developers equally if we
want a piece of property. Mayor Edelcup said we have two ordinances on the books: one is
for Park Enhancements and one is TDRs, and under the buildable situation for the area
involved, and he said that part of the discretionary ability of this Commission is to weigh
each piece of property when they are proffered to us as to which ordinance best serves the
City at the time of accepting a piece of property, and agreed with Commissioner Iglesias that
there are times that we should employ the Park Enhancement Bonus but disagreed that we
don't have the discretionary ability to be able to use it when it is better to use the zoning for
that particular area as opposed to the Park Enhancement Bonus. Commissioner Iglesias said
he is in favor of this but, for the record, he would have liked to have done it the other way
where we accept the Park Enhancement Bonus like we did the Casino Property. The
Commission thanked Mr. Metzner for this gift to the City, and Mayor Edelcup opened the
public hearing for public comment.
Mayor Edelcup passed the gavel and made a motion to amend the Resolution to read that this
property is being offered to the City under the TDR Ordinance as prescribed by the Town
Center Zoning Ordinance, in that the developer is making a gift to the City half of the total
amount ofTDRs whether stated in square feet or in dwelling units to the City of Sunny Isles
Beach so that 50% going to City of Sunny Isles Beach will be part of the City's Bank of
TDRs and the 50% going to the Developer will be in the Developer's Bank as administered
by the City but as a separate bank and he has five (5) years in which to use those TDRs and
come before the Commission as how they are going to be used. City Attorney Dannheisser
asked for a second and noted that before there is a vote that she would like to do some
housekeeping here, reiterate everything said, and add some items for approval. She said that
first, in order to accept the conveyance ofthis Tract, we must take up Resolution No.1 OA.l
Draft 011305 Summay Mins.Doc

City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
which approves the release of remainder Tract D from the Unity of Title Agreement for
17070 Collins Avenue Shopping Center Limited. [City Clerk's Note: See action under Item
lOA. I.]
City Attorney Dannheisser noted that Mayor Edelcup's motion is to accept the conveyance of
approximately 2.417 acres which is plus or minus 105,289 square feet of real property owned
by Porto Bellagio Partners, as park land, and approve the transfer of development rights from
the property to the applicant's account in the TDR Bank in the amount of the underlined
zoning (and not the public land enhancement bonus) of2.5 FAR or 263,222 square feet and
approximately 60 dwelling units per acre or 145 dwelling units in accordance with and
subject to the applicable provisions of Section 265-23 of the City's Land Development
Regulations related to transferable development rights, 50% of which will be transferred to
the account of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, a closing to occur within approximately 30-
days and conditioned on all ofthose conditions for acceptance which are listed in Section 2
ofthe Resolution and again the applicant as owner of Tract B to extinguish and sever all but
4.56 acres of density intensity of Tract B.
Mayor Edelcup passed the gavel and moved and Commissioner Iglesias seconded a motion
to approve the alternate resolution. Resolution No. 2005-754 was adopted by a voice
vote of 5-0 in favor.

Commissioner Iglesias said he agreed that the 100% tandem should be readdressed with a
20%, but does not agree with the 9-feet, it is 8.5 feet now. Commissioner Goodman said that
there are problems with parking at Winston Towers that when they were built, they did not
think of the future, now people are buying apartments there that need three or four parking
spaces; he said that when the buildings were built the tandem parking spaces could house the
two cars, now the cars are sticking out beyond the driveway, so parking is a major problem.
Commissioner Goodman said that ifthe construction industry does not supply parking, then
Sunny Isles Beach will suffer because our streets are not conducive to parking and for the
future of Sunny Isles Beach we have to protect the people who will be living here.
Public Speakers: Joseph Milton
Joseph Milton noted that valet parking was a standard way before tandem parking was
created, and said he has no problem with reducing the tandem from 100% to 20%, but he does
have a problem with the width ofthe spaces, he said that he can't find a city in Miami-Dade
County that has 9-foot wide parking spaces for residential. He said he drives a Range Rover
and has no problem parking in 8.5 foot spaces.
Vice Mayor Thaler said that parking is a problem in the newer buildings as well, and Mayor
Edelcup said when we are approving a building, we are approving it for its lifetime of 50-60
years and we should provide enough parking spaces, and the 100% should be brought back to
a realistic number, and suggested that between now and second reading that the development
community and staff review the 8.5 and 9-feet situation and come back for second reading as
to what is statistically happening in this County and Broward County and whether staff feels it
is adequately protected with a 8.5 to 9-foot space.
Commissioner Brezin moved and Commissioner Iglesias seconded a motion to approve the
proposal on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5-0 in favor.
Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, February 10,2005, at 7:30
