SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR A HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION GRANT FROM
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Parks Division has been working with Mr. Peter Strelkow, a registered
landscape architect residing on Miami Beach, and a member of the
Beautification Committee, in ways to comply with the Commission's wishes
to beautify the entrances to Miami Beach. This plan had been discussed
several times in the past; however, monetary constraints have held us back.
Mr. Strelkow was recently made aware of the fact that there are State
grants available from the Florida Department of Transportation to beautify
State right-of-ways within City limits.
The area chosen for Application is the Julia Tuttle Causeway at the
triangular strip of land where the Welcome Sign to Miami Beach presently is
located. This area of land comprises approximately 13 acres.
This Application is based on a 50-50% funding process wherein the City can
use in-kind services for their share. In addition, it is proposed that the
State purchase most of the trees with State monies. City forces are to
plant and maintain said trees.
The use of native plant materials is one of the requirements of this Grant,
thus the City's maintenance problems will be minimized.
Application is due in the District Highway Office no later than 5:00 p.m. on
February 1, 1989.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The City Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Application for a
Highway Beautification Grant from Florida Department of Transportation to
beautify the easterly end of the Julia Tuttle Causeway.
