SUBJECT:
A RESOLU I OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
ART IN PUBLIC PLACES COMMITTEE, FOR PLACEMENT OF A
MONUMENT IN MEMORY OF JORGE MAS CANOSA
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On October 7, 1998 the City Commission approved a proposal to place a monument in memory of
Jorge Mas Canosa on Miami Beach. Further, the City Commission directed the Art in Public Places
Committee to recommend a suitable location for the monument. In order to address requests for
donations and placement of works of art on City property, the City Commission adopted a resolution
accepting the policy and criteria for review and recommendation for acceptance of donations of
works of art to be placed on public property, as established by the Art in Public Places Committee.
ANALYSIS
On October 30, 1998 the Art in Public Places Committee reviewed proposals for a location for the
monument by the project sponsor. These proposed locations included the triangular area at Alton
Road, Sunset Drive and 20th Street, and Lummus Park north or south of the 10th Street Auditorium.
The Committee did not think that a drive-by location was suitable and an oceanfront location was
not recommended for a bronze sculpture. The Committee proposed that the monument be placed
in the Hispanic Community Center, which is scheduled to be located in the Coral Rock house in
North Beach. The project sponsor advised the Committee that they would prefer that the monument
be placed in a public space. The Committee then recommended that the monument be placed in the
open space area at the southwest corner of 41st Street and Pine Tree Drive and requested that the
project sponsor report back to the Committee with a site plan indicating the proposed location of the
monument.
On December 15, 1998 the Committee reviewed the site plan (attached) and approved the location
at 41st Street and Pine Tree Drive, subject to review by the appropriate city departments including

Parks and Recreation, Property Management and Public Works. Additionally, the project sponsor
was requested to work with design review staff and present the final design for the project to the
Committee. City staff has reviewed the proposed location and will work with the project sponsor
to determine the specific siting of the monument at this location.
On January 13, 1999 this matter was presented to the executive board of the Middle Beach
Partnership. The board voted in favor of placement of the monument at the recommended location.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission should adopt the attached resolution approving the recommendation of the
Art in Public Places Committee for placement of a monument in memory of Jorge Mas Canosa.
