A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida,Approving a Conceptual Design to Partially Convert the Water Facility Located at 350 Sunny Isles Boulevard to a Park-Like Setting; Providing the City Manager with the Authority to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Russo reported and presented the proposed schematic design. Vice Mayor Aelion asked if there was parking, and City Manager Russo said no. He clarified that the pump station is remaining,what is shown here that is not part of this. It shows the trees and walkway continuing behind the pump station section,which is the rectangular piece just prior to Park Towers which is the Milton Project. The meandering walkway as it gets to that area of the pump station in the parcel just prior to Park Towers,the path meanders back to the sidewalk,across the sidewalk. What will happen in your approval of Milton's project, it shows an easement walkway back down to the bay and then continuing across through St.Tropez to Collins Avenue. What we would like to do long term but we could not get it now because WASA is a little skeptical even with fencing to allow people to walk behind the pump station. It would be nice to continue that baywalk along the bay. Commissioner Scholl said so they are making us detour around the north side? City Manager Russo said yes and that was always anticipated, that was in your original approval of the plan. You approved that same thing to go back from the sidewalk on Milton's property. Mayor Edelcup said concurrently we can keep trying to get the right-of-way along the water edge, and when we get it you can then put it in. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Scholl moved and Vice Mayor Aelion seconded a motion to approve the resolution. Resolution No. 2013-2118 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 13
