<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting <br /> <br />April II, 2006 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />really doing is taking care of an error of the previous Commission when it approved Sands <br />Point without a beach access, and if that project came before the City today, they would have <br />a tough time getting it approved. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup commended this developer for putting a beach access on the south side and <br />noted as to the character of the developer, by offering the City monies towards park <br />enhancements, that this is a very virtuous thing and he thanked him for taking that into <br />account and realizing that the City is a partnership between the residents and the developers <br />and that everyone gains by the enhancements. He said he doesn't want people to think that <br />this is an auction and we have to keep in mind that this is not something that we are being <br />bought to make a decision, this is a pro-offer by a developer in good conscience making a very <br />fair and reasonable offer. Mayor Edelcup encouraged developers to keep this in mind that we <br />are a partnership and we can work together to our mutual benefit as it helps everybody in the <br />long range. <br /> <br />Commissioner Goodman noted that prior to becoming a City our beaches were renourished <br />because we had seven (7) beach accesses here in Sunny Isles Beach, and when we became a <br />City we promised the people that any new development would have a beach access. He said <br />we are the only City in Miami-Dade County that a developer has to give a beach access, and <br />that is a feather in our cap for the citizens of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> <br />City Attorney Ottinot noted for the record that there were three conditions added: 1) the <br />developer will provide a beach access on the south end; 2) the developer agreed to provide <br />$300,000.00 cash contribution for park improvements; and 3) the developer agreed to provide <br />a foot shower, a regular shower, a bench, and a water fountain on the north beach access. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Brezin moved and Commissioner Thaler seconded a motion for approval as <br />amended, subject to staff conditions. Resolution No. 06-Z-100 was approved by a roll <br />call vote of 4-1 (Commissioner Iglesias against) in favor. <br />Vote: Commissioner Goodman yes <br />Commissioner Iglesias no <br />Commissioner Thaler yes <br />Vice Mayor Brezin yes <br />Mayor Edelcup yes <br /> <br />7.
