Cfr} OF SrJ ti h�P <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />18070 Collins Avenue <br />Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 <br />(305) 947-0606 City Hall <br />(305) 949-3113 Fax <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners <br />VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager <br />FROM: Stan Morris, City Manager <br />DATE: January 18, 2024 <br />RE: Approval of Schematic Design for Intracoastal Sports ParkA <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of this Resolution. <br />REASONS: <br />Through Resolution Numbers 2022-3337 and 2022-3338, the City contracted with architects anc <br />engineers to design a park with sports courts and adjoining amenities to complete the envisioned <br />Intracoastal Sports Park. As per Resolution Number 2023-3467, the parcel was named Intracoasta <br />Sports Park with the intent of providing active recreation. <br />The research from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan proved that tennis is at the top of the list of <br />desired amenities. Through many discussions, it is understood that green open space is also a desire <br />for this location. However, considering all current city owned land, this parcel is the most viable <br />location for a tennis center consisting of two courts, with one court being striped for multi-purpose <br />use such as basketball and volleyball as originally discussed and approved in April 2022. <br />To achieve more green space, pickle ball courts have been removed as that activity is available at the <br />county operated Haulover Park which is adjacent to our southern border. We will provide some <br />workout stations, another amenity expressed by our residents. The green open space will be designed <br />as an extension of the existing Intracoastal Parks, providing green space along the waterfront, and an <br />Item Number: 10.G <br />195 <br />
