COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Mark Samuelian 
DATE:April  6, 2022
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON THE STATUS OF THE DEAUVILLE HOTEL.

RECOMMENDATION

The Deauville is a contributing building within the North Beach Local Historic District. It has been closed since July 25, 2017 when there was a fire in the Deauville’s electrical room. Since 2017 the property owners of the Deauville have been unresponsive to several City and County sanctions and requests. On December 15, 2021, a Structural Condition Assessment Report was provided to the City.

 

The Commission should discuss:

 

- the process in which the City Administration granted the demolition permit to the Deauville while there was still pending litigation, and without notice to the Commission or our City residents 

- the status of efforts being taken to ensure the preservation of the architecturally significant portions of the building, including the independent engineering firm requested by the Commission

- actions to ensure public safety at the building site

- communications with our residents on what to expect and when
