CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
City Manager's Office
Interoffice Memorandum
lC\
DATE: June 8. 2000
TO: Nancy Liebman
Commissioner
FROM: Lawrence A. Levy
City Manager
SUBJECT: North Shore Park
The following is in response to your inquiry of June 6, 2000, requesting information on the status
of North Shore Park.
. Please note a response was sent to your to your original request of April 20, 2000 on April
27,2000. See Attachment I.
.
As a further update, note that on May 22, 2000 a Letter To Commission was sent concerning
the requested revisions for North Shore Park as a result of input gained at the recently held
community meetings, the North Beach Youth Center Oversight Committee meetings and the
Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board. The architectural design process was
suspended until the issues noted in the memorandum could be resolved (including the
replacement of two clay tennis courts with two hard surface tennis courts and the addition
of an outdoor basketball court or courts), and recommendations approved by the various
Commission members. This Approval was obtained and notice to proceed given to the
project architects on May 26, 2000. It stated in the LTC that barring any further revisions
the architects would work toward the projected July 19,2000 bid. Please see Attachment
II.
.
Another issue that has recently arisen and is impacting the completion of the North Shore
Park construction documents is the requirement to comply with Florida Statute 553. This
Statute relates to specific requirements of the accessibility code and legally mandates that
"Vertical accessibility shall be provided to all levels above and below the occupiable grade
level, regardless of whether the code requires an elevator to be installed in such building,
stmcture or facility except (1) elevator pits, elevator penthouses, mechanical rooms, piping
or equipment catwalks, and automobile lubrication and maintenance pits and platform; (2)
unoccupiab1e spaces, such as rooms, enclosed spaces, and storage spaces that are not
designed for human occupancy, for public accommodations, or for work areas".
This requirement is presently impacting not only North Shore Park but also the Scott Rakow
Youth Center ice rink. The Statute directly impacts the bleacher seating for the ball
fields and gymnasium at North Shore Park and the bleachers in the Scott Rakow Youth
Center ice rink. The Statute mandates that there be wheelchair accessible not only at the
ground level but at each level of bleacher seating. In order to address this matter in a logical
:--~'-"7.7'':''T:-~''-
~
manner the project architects have presented their projects and made presentations to the
City's Barrier Free Environment Committee and received the Committee's approval and
support. Additionally, the Statute requires a formal request and presentation to the State
of Florida's Accessibility Advisory Council and the Florida Building Commission to
seek a waiver of this requirement. Both the architects for the North Shore Park and
Scott Rakow Youth Center projects are scheduled to make presentations to the State
Committees in Orlando, Florida on June 13,2000. Please see Attachment III for a copy
of the Accessibility Advisory Council's June 13, 2000 meeting which include the
presentations of both the North Shore Park and the Scott Rakow Youth Center projects.
The final construction documents can't be completed until the decisions related to these issues are
made by the State of Florida's Accessibility Advisory Council and the Florida Building Commission
and forwarded to the City. Based on the State of Florida requirement. Bermello, Ajamil and
Partners, Inc., has revised the project schedule. Please see Attachment IV for a copy of the revised
schedule.
The Administration remains committed to completing this project as soon as possible, however, due
to the various regulations and requirements that must be met to comply with the permitting process
and the ongoing efforts to insure extensive and comprehensive community input the schedule
adjustment is unavoidable. We \viII keep you informed of the progress of this project.
Should you have additional concerns, please advise.

La nee A. f:,tvy
City Manager
FROM:
SUBJECT:
North Shore Park
The follo~ving is in response to your April 21, 2000 memorandum requesting inform::uion on ,he
status of North Shore Park.
Issue'!. When will the project be ready to bid? i'rfa:v I have a copy of the bid spec to insure tIle
project is being proposed in. stages?
Response:
As per Attachment A, a Commission Memorandum dated January 26, 2000, the North Shore Park
project was scheduled.to go to bid in April- May, 2000. Due to the following actions this time frame
has been revised. .>
.~
. At the Commission meeting of February 9, 2000 a request was made that a resolution
creating a "North Shore Youth Center Oversight Committee" be placed on the next City
Commission agenda The role of the Committee was to monitor the design, planning,
construction and use of the North Beach Youth Center, as well as provide input. (See
Attachment B). This Resolution was prepared as instructed and approved at the Commission
meeting of March 15,2000, (See Attachment C).
. As a result of this action the design drawings and constructions documents process could not
be completed until the newly approved Committee had its appointments made, and a meeting
was held to provide the Committee an opportunity to review the project drawings and make
comments as stipulated in the Resolution.
.
On March 30, 2000, the North Beach Youth Center Oversight Committee held its first
meeting. At the time the project architects and staff presented the plans for the proposed
youth center and gymnasium, tennis center and courts and other areas of the park including
the ball fields, restrooms, playground etc, The Committee expressed concerns related to the
second floor space sizing and configurations, and specifically the space allocated to the
Barry University project and asked that the issue be revisited with the Barry representatives
to consolidate their spacial needs. The Committee also asked that the architects revise the
proposed spaces for specific programmatic activities such as dance, pre-school and the
weight room, The staff was then requested to return in a week \vith the solutions to these
issues.

.
On April 5, 2000, the North Be:!ch Youth Cente~ Oversight Committee held its second
meeting. At the time the project architectS md st:!IT presented the proposed solutions to the
Committee's concerns as expressed at their March 30. 2000 meeting. Following a discussion
of the issues with the Barry University represenmives. project architects and staff the
Comminee unanimously approved the modified site plan and approved the architects to
proceed with the construction dr:!wings. (See Attachment D for:! copy of the 3;5 meeting
minutes).
Due to the time taken to accomplish the above stated actions the architects have revised the time line
for bidding/permitting from April- May. 2000 to June 0 I - July 19,2000. Additionally, as requested.
:! copy of the bid specifications will be forwarded to you when they are available.
Issue 2. How did the planning subcommittee go? rVere there allY recommendations for
programming the park?
Response: .
. On February 28, 2000, a Letter To Commission was sent establishing the North Shore Park
and Youth Center Program Advisory Comminee. (See Attachment E). The task of this
Committee was to identify who the park would serve, how it would serve them and what
types of programs ar.e needed?
.
On February 29, 2000. a North Shore Park and Youth Center Community Workshop was
held to review the status of the plans for improvements to the Park. discuss desired
programmatic'activities and obtain comments relating to the current site and floor plans.
Please see Attachment F for a report of this meeting including the public participation
process related to future programs and facilities uses.
~
. On April 13, 2000, a follow up community workshop was held to present the report from the
first workshop summary, and actions that transpired in response' to the participants
comments, program requests and other related information. In summary, the communiry
heartily endorsed the North Shore Park and Youth Center designs and additionally made the
following recommendations:
. Two (2) hard surface tennis courts should be constructed in place of two (2)
of the clay courts, to be used by youth to learn to play tennis as well as others'
who may desire to play on a hard court. The community felt strongly about
this point and asked that a concerted effort be made to accomplish this
request.
. The Youth Center must include access for all users including adults, the
disabled and senior citizens. A contingent of senior patrons clearly voiced
the need for a spacious, well designed ceramics room for their use. Others
expressed the need for dance, aerobics and a variety of passive activities.
Additionally, several disabled citizens expressed the need toensure they have
space to use in the new Youth Center to host their Saturday evening social
club meetings as they have for the past thirty four (34) years.
,,-
.~-~.~
,--
.
It was stressed that every effort should be made to construct the two (2)
outdoor basketball courtS as requested in the initial meeting. Those prese~,t
with an opinion on the subject felt that the proposed solution of constructing
the courts on the southwest edge of the park. away from the tennis center was
a viable option. Please see Attach.r..ent F for a schemo.tic of this option.
. Additiono.lly, to further document the progro.rnmatic interests and needs of the North Shere
Park users and non-users the fo.culty and students of Barry University conducted a l;se~
Survey and Focus Groups Study. The study. which was conducted during the weeks or
February 29th and March 13th, surveyed participants to gain their input and document the:~
interests in areas including but not limited to programs. activities. precieved/desired facility
needs and other recreo.tional key areo.s. 1.+8 surveys were conducted on 0iorth Shore Park
and another 22 were done with teens at Nautilus and Miami Beach Senior High Schoel.
Please see Attachment G for a copy of this report.
Issue 3. Has anyone from the youth groups (soccer or baseball) seen tlte plans for the addition
of basketball courts on tlte southeast corner of the park? Has anyone looked rzt tIle program
impact of adding two outdoor courts? Tlte present outdoor basketball courts are not supervised
now and they do have an impact on tlte current tennis courts. It migltt be a good idea to discuss
tlte impact witlt tlte tennis. staff and players before we locate unsupervised basketball courts
adjacent to the soccer and baseball fields.
Response: .
,-- The proposal for basket1:lall courts in the southeast corner of the park is the schematic that includes
the gymnasium. This cop.cept was approved by the community and the Design Review Board. The
two (2) outdoor basketball courts being proposed are to be located in the southwest corner of the
park. As previously stated, these outdoor courts would be sited on the southwest edge of the park.
away from the tennis courts and therefore will have no impact on the tennis center. Additionally,
the Administration has discussed the location of these courts with Richard Johnston, the Tennis
Center Manager, who stated in his opinion the site is a good location for these courts and their
distance from the tennis courts will have no impact on the center's patrons.
The need for outdoor basketball courts was a request made by participants at the community
workshops. The Administration shares your concern that the addition of these courts in the proposed
location may create an increased need for staff supervision, as well as require an organized schedule
for court usage. In order to pennit the design process to proceed uninterrupted staff will continue
to study this issue to ensure the best solution is developed.
Should you have additional concerns, please advise.

VI.
Public Participation Process
The public participation process allowed the citizens in atiendance with two opportunities ti
communicate their preferences and concerns regarding the 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 70 citizens and representatives of various
organizations. Following the presentations by the City and Consultants, a general discussion was
held regarding the users that this park serves. This discussion narrowed the categories of those
served into the following:
- Pre-school User Group
- K- 6 User Group
- Teen Group
- Adult Group
- Senior Grou p
- Special Needs Group
, ,.-
These user groups iderttified could utilize the facility during different time frames, making a more
optimal utilization of the spaces.
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. What type of programs/activiteswould you like to have provided at the North Shore
Park and Youth Center for your specific user group?
B. What times day would you like these activities to occur? How frequently?
C. What specific facilities would be required to operate the programs?
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 enable 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

Use canopy trees extensively
Coordinate with potential development of parking parcel by Equity One
New and continue medians on 7Z" St. and 73" Street
Research sucessful new youth centers elsewhere and incorporate any new ideas
Keep in mind a main goal is to attract "problem kids" who may be turned off by
conventional activities. Consider surveying them somehow to see what they would
want. Definite things they would want:
outdoor basketball
weight lifting
Consider rollerhockey area, reduce baseball field to one to accommodate
Investigate opportunities for sponsorship collaboration with Nike and other
corporations
Technology related activities

. Visit the four best youth centers built in the last 3 years in New York City, Chicago,
Los Angeles, Philadelphia (and other cities with diverse ethnic population and
similar youth basis) and see what they did, what have they learned, etc.
. Assemble all organizations in Miami Beach which currently have youth
programmings in arts, sports, culture, etc. What have they learned, what can they
contribute to his new youth center?
. Get a crack youth administrator to put together 2 proposal programs and test it on
target audiences you want to serve

North Shore need outdoor, well-lit basketball coures that are open to the public 24
hours a day. This is critical.
Make sure multi-purpose room has a prung wood floor for dance classes/ rehearsals.
Conduct a programming needs & resources asssesment. Resources inlcude local
reagional and national non-profits organizations able to offer programming, public
and private funding sources and community talent and volunteers and an alternative
facility in North Beach (ie. Biscayne Elementary.
Needs - look at issues facing children, youth, families, single adults, and elderly.
Also ethnically. Ex. - truancy, social problems, domestic violence/ abuse, drug use,
gang activity, unemployment, isolation, health.
Youth need: individual family counseling services, youth and adult vocational! GED
educ~tion, tutoring assistance, spores and recreation, arts and cultural education and
experi~nces.
In addition letters from Laura Jimenez, and Maria Ruiz were submitted for consideration. These are
enclosed as part of this report.

RE: North Shore Park and Youth Center, Oceanfront Bandshell
'. and North Shore Activitv Center
Dear Mr. Smith:
.-
Thank you for inviting me to the workshop to discuss programming for the captioned
sites. Since I realize the importance of this matter, I put my thoughts down on paper but
am available to answer questions also. Please consider the below suggestions which
answer the questi~~s you posed in your February 17, 2000 letter:
1. Who will North Shore Pari< and Youth Center serve? Children, adolescents
and parents in the nearby and surrounding areas.
2. How will they serve the community? What type of programs and activities
are needed? .
'-
The park and youth center will enable the community to prevent problems by
keeping. children busy, interested and involved in activities. Unfortunately, this area has
the highest concentration of juvenile arrests. Done correctly, and making needed
adjustments along the way, this Youth Center will attract and keep children and
adolescents safe which will substantially curb delinquency and gang and youth violence.
in our area.
Here are a few suggestions of classes to offer: after school sports and recreation
programs, drama, dance, arts and/or crafts, music/rap and video, community service,
conflict resolution, job readiness, computer skills lab, parenting skills and Friday teen movie
night. Where interest warrants, these classes should be offered until curfew and on
weekends. Midnight basketball deserves serious consideration. Numerous cities across
America are using midnight basketball to reduce substance abuse, violence and related
activities. The City of Miami Beach could join over 50 cities which Participate in the
Midnight Basketball League for set up, coordination and guidance. Across America,
Mayors and community leaders have commended the success of the League program
because it effectively reaches at-risk young adults and strengthens their communities.

I cannot stress enough the importence cf prcperly marKeting and offering C:2sses
in resconse to Iccal interests and the even more arduous task of maint2inina that in,eres:.
"Vhile this is the best I could co in limited free time, I kr~cw that it is -by no r;;ea,-s
comprehensive. Ii there is any eoui::t that the results of this meeting co nct prCeL:02 tc:
picks far this area, perhaps the next step shcl.:!d be to coneL:cl a needs 2SSeSS,Tle:-:
questionnaire through the nearby area schcals, obtaining both stude", ane parent inpc:.
Since numerous caretakers of cur children are unable to guiee their children wit,'] ~he:r
home learning activities, any such needs assessment shal.:!d incluee this cptian. If 2
needs assessment is eeemed unnecassary, gl.:ieanca with home leaming shaule be 2:ee::
as another class above.
After school sports and recreation pragr2ms should eeeress varying skill leveis
through multitiered prcgramming. I wculd also like to note that when sports are kept in the
proper perspective, sheer competition and winning at any cost is eeemphasized. Ins:ea::
valuing each child's best efforts, discovering new competencies, increasing self wcrth.
learr)ing from losing, respecting their bodies, strengths and limits, teaching connections
and enabling children to express their deepest emotions from their heart should be
accentuated. The right attitude and the right coach can make all the difference.
This same vision can also be applied to enhance development in any class offeree
at the location. For example, a wise art teacher would encourage participation, draw au:
originality, dispel fear, renew interest and enhance talent.
~
Foremost on everyone's mind should be saiety because no matter how wonderfl.:1
the programs turn out, and no matter how much fun and how fantastic the activities ene
up being, there is absolutely no substitute for taking whatever steps are necessary to
prevent even one tragedy from ocourring through proper supervision. f envision this park
and youth center as another method to keep children and families safe, entertained ane
out of trouble.
You are on the right track. By Offering an alternative to the streets for parents and
adolescents, you will be providing a great service to our community. These are important
and needed front-end investments in children. Thank you all for your input and for allowing
me the opportunity to speak.

Some issues I'~ like addressed on the North Shore Youth Center
Workshop (again I apologize that ! cannot attend) :
r-
~) ~ultiple se~Tice providers
2) Age-appropriate programming
3) User/ quality assurance surveys
'4) Programming hours that match curfew
5) Passive recreation space (TV, pool table, etc.)
6) Specific programming for te~nage girls (represents a signifcant
population block with upward trend in delinquency)
7) Segregation between adults/ youth
8) Total Quality Management philosophy among staff
9) Dedicated':l1.ome'..ork/ class space w/ computer portals
10) Efficient scheduling plan for use of facilities by multiple
providers/ age groups
These a4e just an overview of the topics of greatest concern. I am
sure that members of the Oversight Committee will address,others.
I hope the workshop meets and exceeds your expectations. Have a great

L.T,C. No, 114-2000
LETTER TO COMMISSION
May 22, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin
and Members of the City Commission
FROM:
SUBJECT: NORTH SHORE PARK AND YOUTH CENTER PLAN
Over the past two weeks the Administration has met with each of you individually to present a
modified plan for the construction for the North Shore Park and Youth Center. The modifications
discussed were a direct result of comments and input received at the following public meetings:
"
,--
I. Community workshops held at North Shore Park on February 29th and April 13th, 2000;
2. North BeachY outh Center Oversight Committee meetings on March 30th, April 5th and May
II th, 2000; and
3. Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board on May 4, 2000.
The modifications requested focused on the following points:
. The substitution of two (2) of the twelve (12) clay tennis courts in the new tennis center with
hard surface tennis courts. The community felt this modification would better enable youth
learning the game of tennis, as well as youth playing for their schools, to practice and play
on the surface that is most commonly used for this level of play and competition.
Additionally, it was felt by some that having a choice of clay or hard courts better served the
community.
. The option of adding outdoor basketball courts in the southwest section of the park for
individuals who may prefer them to the basketball courts that will be constructed in the
gymnasium. The additional court(s) would be sited in the area that is currently a parking lot.
Any parking spaces eliminated would require on street parking to be reconfigured to angle
parking.
,"-'
~
Based on these discussions and your comments, a consensus on these issues was developed. Unless
advised of additional concerns, on the morning oflvfay 26, 2000 the Administration will instruct the
project architects to:
. Design the tennis complex to include two (2) hard surface tennis courts and ten (10) clay
(Hydro) courts.
. Include one (1) outdoor fenced basketball court on the southwest end of the park. (Please
refer to the attached site plan for a comprehensive overview), In conjunction with this, the
Administration will begin the planning process to reconfigure on street parking.
Barring any further revisions, this notification to the architects will enable them to continue working
toward the projected July 19th bid issuance.
Should you have questions or comments, please advise.

that the Bill now accepts the Commission's recommendation of Wind-
Borne Debris Region being defined for all regions at 120 mph and
greater wind speeds, south of the 28'h parallel, which is a line running
from Tampa to Melbourne. Below the line the region is all of the 120,
130, 140, 150, &160 mph wind-borne debris region, and that above the
line the Senate Bill redefines the wind-borne debris region to be 5
miles from the coast on the Eastern coast, from Melbourne to the
Georgia border; on the west coast from Tampa north to the big bend,
within 3 miles of the coast; then from that point to the Alabama border

Page 5
There is no automatic sunset. Mr. Dixon stated that an impacted party
would still have the right to appeal the local amendment first to the
countywide board, and then to the Commission.
Mr. Dixon stated that there are four criteria that local
amendments must meet; 1) they have to be more restrictive; 2) they
cannot discriminate against products, materials. or methods of
construction; 3) they must be adopted through a public open process;
and 4) they must be accompanied by a cost-impact statement.

, .
-....~1.-.....--,-~
r- Plenary Session Minutes
April 10, 2000
Page 7
January 5,2000, regarding opinions with respect to disproportionate
costs; 2) the outcome of the discussion resulted in a request for
counsel present to bring back to the T AC examples of what the new
memoranda means with respect to disproportionate costs; 3) and that
the previous opinions regarding disproportionate costs were no longer
applicable, that the Commission moved to reinstate the pre-1997
decision regarding disproportionate costs by the applicable required
means,
Mr. Browdy stated that no action was required by the Commission.
Mr, Browdy stated that while the TAC is waiting for counsel to get
back to them with examples, but that it was the opinion of the TAC that
the disproportionate costs waiver criteria was important and if it has
been narrowed or diminished, it should be reinstated by the
Commission to its pre-1997 opinion and position.
--
Mr. Browdy furthered that other issues discussed were curb
ramps on requ'ired means of egress. He stated that there was a
discrepancy between the Accessibility Code and the FJorida Statutes
requiring that curb ramps which are part of a required means of egress
be not less than 44-inches. Mr, Browdy stated that DCA staff had been
asked to examine the issue and make recommendations at the May
meeting,
Mr. Browdy continued stating that there was discussion regarding
parking waivers, i.e., transferring authority from s.316-1955 to Chapter
553 Florida Statutes. He stated that the TAC recommended that
Florida Statut.es be revised to allow for a reduction in the number of
parking spaces required by local ordinance to accommodate the 12-
feet accessible parking space and 5-feet access aisle with
requirements, Mr, 8rowdy commented that the discussion ensued
around not waiving the required Florida parking width of an accessible
space. He furthered that it was determined that on existing
construction, if [it] cannot be waived, that the Commission use its
position to require local ordinances to waive the number of required
spaces in order to comply with the Florida-specific requirement for
accessible space.

Mr, Browdy then stated that the TAC discussed the appointment
of a working group to examine the Accessibility Code for
inconsistencies and develop a list of technical inconsistencies to be

addressed as the Code progresses, He announced that the individuals
appointed to that working group are: Angel Watson; Jeff Gross,
Architect; Dean Perkins, DOT; and the DCA legal and technical staff.
Mr. Browdy reported two additional items with respect to the
Accessibility Advisory Council membership. He expressed concern
that the attendance of the Advisory Council membership had been
poor. He noted that one reason is that a number of the members had
been experiencing health problems or have had family members with
health problems, Mr. Browdy expressed that the TAC as well as the
Council would request that the Secretary of the Department of
Community Affairs take appropriate action to fill all vacancies
currently existing; to re-evaluate 553.512, f.s. stipulating the type of
representation on the Council; and additionally appoint alternate
members for each appointed Council member to ensure adequate
representation at the Council meetings.
.--
Mr. Browdy stated further that the Council had discussed Dr.
Richardson's~s husband's health problems leaving her unable to attend
Commission meetings for the last six months. He expressed sincere
condolence at the death of her Husband on behalf of tne Council. He
suggested that when a member of the Commission, the only member
representing the disabled community, is unavailable to attend for three
or more meetings, that the Chairman of the Florida Building
Commission appoint to the Commission a non-voting adjunct member of
the disabled community, to advise the Commission on the rights and
concerns of the disabled in the absence of the duly appointed
Commission member.
Mr. Thorne motioned to approve the Accessibility TAC report. Mr,
Wiggins seconded the motion, Vote to approve the Accessibility report

before them for their decision-making process.
Mr. Nicholson brought Item #4, Liberty Baptist Church, before the
Commission f~r action. He noted additional space was needed for the
congregation and a day school, and that the restrooms did not meet
current Code requirements.
Mr. Shaw asked why Item #4 did not fall under the exemption.
Mr, Browdy responded that there was an opinion by Mr. Bragg
with respect to exemption for churches, that the only exemption was
the sanctuary. He stated that the essence of this waiver is whether or
not the church would use the school facility for church members only,
or if it were open to the public for day school.
,--
