Discussion r ....._-":"~~ ,,- ,.- South Pointe Park, a 17 acre regional park at the southern most point of the island, is one of Miami Beach's most scenic parks and one, that has received a great deal of attention from the 'South Pointe Park Charrette" held in 1995, facilitated by the urban planning firm of Duany, Plater-Zyberk. Echoing many goals set forth by the Charrette, the Master Plan seeks to unlock the beauty of the park, by allowing views, circulation and a public preserce to occur in the East-West axis of the Park., The Master Plan opens up the Western edge of the Park to face onto the future plaza at the terminus of Washington Avenue. On the Eastern edge, both the large artificial dune and the boardwalk will be removed By opening the East-West axis through the Park, a more scenic and inviting Park will be create, providing a sweeping view frolT) Washington Avenue Plaza through the Park to Ocean Pl.afa and the Atlantic beyond. .. . South Pointe Park is the passive park of South Beach and the waterfront gateway to the city, offering panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the Miami skyline. The pedestrian promenade, paralleling Government on the Southern edge of the park, will be defined with stately palms, forming a grand ocean entrance to the City. The promenade will wrap around the tip of Miami Beach, connecting the Park to the Miami Beach Marina via the future Bay Walk. The Northern edge of South Pointe Park, formed by large scale condominium development, will be buffered by plantings and, where appropriate, will allow direct access from the condominiums into the Park, in an effort to activate this park edge. The passive nature of the Park, as set forth in the Charrette, will be enhanced in the Master Plan to include large areas of green lawn with canopy trees and shade pavilions for picnicking and, for added green space, the stables and amphitheater/storage building will be removed. To support the anticipated increase in Park attendance, the Master Plan incorporates a park managers office, a moderate increase in parking, a new tot lot, and new restroom buildings. The existing coastal dune community, currently disturbed by the boardwalk, will be reconstructed to tie into the hardy dunes located just North of the Park, creating one cohesive dune ,-.. system. ~ - w !z o D.. :t: I- :::> o (J) ED .

The purpose of this workshop was to secure input for the continued development of South Pointe Park, as part of the Parks Bond Improvement Program and the new General Obligation Bond Program. A master plan for the park was developed in 1996. As part of this process, this plan will be updated to develop an actual program for construction. This is the first of several public workshops. Presenting .at the workshop were: . Kevin Smith - Director Parks & Recreation . Rai Fernandez- Architect . Aida M. Curtis- Landscape Architect City of Miami Beach Bermello, Ajami1 & Partners Curtis + Rogers Design Studio ,.- In addition the following City of Miami Beach's staff was also present at the meeting: Assistant City Manager- Christina Cuervo, Ronnie Singer- Executive Assistant-City Managers Office; Sugar Pirtel . Parks Dep;. Betty Fleming - Parks Dept.; Odalys Man, & Cindy Casanova - Parks Dept.;A1exandra Ro1ll;I1dclli- Redevelopment; Joe Damieo. . The workshop was designed to provide the meeting participants with opportunities to : 1. Review the existing conditions and parameters that underlie the planning and design process for this park, 2. Review the master plan developed and adopted hy the Commission in 1996 have been developed following the above parameters, 3. Present their ideas about the future use and desired programmatic activities, 4. Present their comments relating to the use, planning and programming of this park. The meeting agenda was as follows: 1. History of the Park II. Park Master Plan III. Neighborhood Framework IV. Breakout Groups Discussion . Who will South Pointe Park serve? - How will it serve them? - What types of programs/activities are needed? - What facilities will be needed to implement programs/activities? V.

Closing Remarks and Adjournment Publi~ Plll"ticipation Process The public participation process allowed the citizens in' attendance with two opportunities to communicate their preferences and concerns regarding thc planning and programming of this facility. The first opportunity occurred in the comment group discussion and the second was through individual comment sheets. The meeting was attended by approximately 35 citizens and representatives of various organizations. Following the presentations by the City and Consultants, a general discussion was held regarding the planning parameters, current plans and programs for the park. The community participants were then asked to break into self-selected groups with a "spokesperson", responsible for recording ideas generated. Each group was responsible for answering the following questions as it related to programming and activities desired for each of the designated user groups: A. Who will South Pointe Park serve? B. How will it serve them? C. What type ofprogramsfactivities are needed? D. What specific facilities will be needed to implemcnt these programs/activities ? ,-- The spokesperson would record the various answers on easel paper. The goal of this exercise was NOT to reach consensus among members, but to bring out a broad range of ideas from all participants. As a result there may be some comments from one group in opposition to another. The reason for doing this as a group vs. individually, was to enablc meeting participants to hear each other, and in cases one person's comment might prompt discussion or ideas from others. After approximately 30 minutes, the comment groups were reconvened to listen to the presentations by representatives of each group. The presentations were designed to share the ideas recorded on the easel paper. Just as the interactive groups did not seek a consensus among members, the purpose of the presentations was not to produce consensus, across the five user groups but to sample the ideas emerged. The comment groups "easel paper" comments are included at the end of this report. The second portion of the workshop provided participants with additional note paper to record individual ideas and given to representatives of the City for incorporation. ,These individual comment forms allowed each citizen to express their particular point of view, or address other relevant issues related to the planning and design of South Pointe Park. These individual comment forms are summarized at the end of this report. Conclusion This workshop allowed the approximately 35 participants to voice their opinions regarding the r South Pointc Park Conununity Workshop Page 2 E"d 99il-6-Sil-il--SOE S~3~O~ 1 SIl.~nO dSt:~O 00 90 unc r ,.- v'd ,,- planning, programming and design of the South Pointe Park. In the interactive groups and the individual comment forms the participants expressed their ideas about the specific elements, programs, activities, and facilities for the park. The information and ideas gathered at this workshop will be seriously considered in the planning and design of the facility. Concept plans will be presented at a second public workshop, date an<f"time to be deterrnined. At this time additional discussions and comments will be secur"d.
