Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting February 22,2001 City or Sunny Isles Beach,Florida developer's willingness to underground the utilities. Frank A. Utset, Esq., speaking on behalf of the Playa Veradero Condominium Property Owners, argued that the applicant had not presented a case of"hardship." Mr. Price responded and City Attorney Dannheisser confirmed that under our code, since the use variance had been withdrawn, there was no requirement to prove a hardship. City Attorney Dannheisser said that the developer could deed the land on the west side of Collins Avenue to the City as a public park and agree to pay for the maintenance. It was suggested that any approval should include a perpetual public easement to access the landscaped area with the obligation for the condominiums association to maintain it. Mr. Daly suggested that it might not be enforceable for the condominium documents to try to force future condo owners to pay for maintenance of a public park. Commissioner Iglesias said the developer should landscape the west-side land and the City should own it and maintain it. Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Morrow seconded the motion to approve 6B as modified, for#'s 2-5 with conditions of Planning staff(dedication of park to City after having been landscaped by developer) and reduction of one curb cut; the 14 Zoning staff conditions; an additional condition #15 that applicant comply with current FDOT access management standards and do that on the driveway issues too; and comply with Streetscape Master Plan,Collins Avenue curb cuts, streetscape landscaping and furniture; (Jorge Vera to list bonuses, amount of the bonuses, and the amount of impact fees that will be accumulated for this project in the Zoning Resolution). Ms. Dannheisser reminded Mr. Price that all documents must be provided to the City within 15 days of the zoning approval. Mr. Price asked for, and Ms. Dannheisser agreed to, a provision that the 15-day deadline to produce the documents would begin once the draft resolution was faxed to him.
