SUBJECT:

REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE OF A DISCUSSION ON THE LATEST PROJECT PLAN INCLUDING PROJECT CHARTER, TIMELINE, COMMUNICATIONS OUTREACH PLAN, AND ENHANCEMENTS  FOR WEST AVENUE.


ANALYSIS

On November 14, 2018, the Miami Beach Commission unanimously approved proposed changes to the West Avenue Phase II project.  These changes brought the total project cost to approximately $70 million. Since then, the City has had significant project experiences in other neighborhoods and must continue to learn and seek to improve its approach. With that in mind, the intention of this item is to review:

 

  • Latest project plan and timeline
  • Project charter
  • Uitlization of City of Miami Beach RISE Guide (attached) including coordination processes and outreach strategy
  • Harmonization approach including any potential issues (e.g. drainage tie-ins)
  • Status of auxilliary generator decision/ location
  • Permitting
  • Support for private property owners
  • Enhancements to our approach based on Palm-Hibiscus/ Indian Creek project experiences 
  • etc.
