As agreed to last year, the Par 3 Golf Course should remain as it is, without being impinged on by the Scott Rakow Youch Center facilities. 2. Sheridan Avenue is a major artery and should not be closed off at the Youth Center becau:se traffic levels would incre3Se on surrounding streets (especially on 28th Street, Prairie Avenue and Pine Tree Drive). 3. Linking the Youth Center to the triangular plot of land across the me:t is not a good idea because odors created by the sewage pump station, located on this plot, would prevent people from utilizing this cu-ea. 4. Scott Rakow should remain as it is with no ice center expansion. 5. Large areas of the existing Youth Center are not fully used. These areas should be reworked before a building expansion is considered. "We're not using wbat we have." 6. Bond moneys should not be allotted to Beach High playing fields as the community in the immediate vicinity oftbe School is already working with Beach High officials to improve the fields. Also, what is the legality of using City of Miami Beach bond funds 00 Dade County facilities? 7. The City said it wants to assist the school in re-sodding their playing fields, not install field lights or other major improvements. The city is trying to corne up with ideas that mayor may not lead to solutions. 8. Community wants City to clean up graffiti on the Maintenance facility that backs onto the Par 3 and improve regular maintenance, but not with Bond moneys, 9. Ice PJ.n1c should be, expanded. as the program is very successful. If a new ice rink is built. attention should be paid to the philSing of the work such that Ice Rink programs would not be interrupted by construction. 10. Consider building an new Ice Rink with parking underneath. II. Consider building new Ice Rink in Flamingo Parle. 12. The present Gymnastics Program and equipment need improvement. 13. Add new Ice Rink and replace the old Rink with a Gymnastics Center. 14_ The original purpose of the Youth Center was to augment the City's existing Parks and Recreation Program with a quality indoor facility. Go back to the original pUI])ose- the Youth Center can't be everything to everyone. 15. Passive green space is important. Keep the Golf Course the way it is. 6 """'-I c.o ;;~ ......~~~~I I>.J - 11......._."..........." ....-...1.......... .....-. . YOUTH CENTER, CONT'D 16. Look at Miami Be3Ch parks as a whole before proposing changes to the Youth Center and the Par 3 Golf Course. Facilities here shouJd not duplicate those in other areas of the City. 17. The Masterplanning consultants wiU use national standards for a dem~hic study of Miami Beach to determine whether the ratio of kids to playing fields City wide is adequate. 18. A new Ice Rink won't fit in the parking lot South oftbe Youth Center. 19. Consider making the large indoor gym into an Ice Rink and transforming the existing rink into a new gym. 20. The Youth Center is paid for by Miami Be3ch residents through taxes, therefore the facility should be open to Beach residents only, Consider requiring kids to show a residency card to gain access to the Youth Center. 21. No stadium lights or additional parking on Prairie A venue or anywhere. 22. The noise leveJ is, for the most part, low in the neighborhood. If a new Ice Rink we."'e to be Q.uilt here, the noise level would incr~e with additionaJ c:lIS and people. 23. A MasterpJan for the parks requires adequate tim~ for the community to review, so that the community can digest the concepts proposed rather than have to make snap decisions in a public forum. It was recommended that Masterplan schemes be on display in a public area for several weeks before a meeting is held to discuss schemes. 24. The City of Miami Beach Commission has the fmal vote on Masterplan Concepts. 25. Install speed bumps to keep down high speed traffic.
