LTC 282-2006 Special Event Permit Application - Salon Des Artiste (Lincoln Road), Art Basel ~ MIAMI BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER NO. LTC # 282-2006 LETTER TO COMMISSION FROM: Mayor David Dermer and Members of the City Commission Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager \ ~ November 17, 2006 G Special Event Permit Application - Salon Des Artiste (Lincon Road), Art Basel TO: DATE: SUBJECT: This Letter to Commission serves to clarify the circumstances surrounding a special event permit application submitted for an event adjacent to Lincoln Road during Art Basel Miami Beach. It is important to note that this event is not proposed for Lincoln Road but, rather, for a private parking lot that is accessed through Lincoln Lane South, between the 800 and 900 block. You may not be aware, but the City's Special Events Staff works with the Lincoln Road Marketing Association (LRM) throughout the year on a variety of events either coordinated by the association, or taking place on the Road. In fact, staff attends the LRM's meetings on a regular basis to provide the Association with information regarding submitted applications, obtaining input from them for events their area hosts that they do not produce. The City has taken a proactive approach in assisting Lincoln Road Association with their produced or coordinated events and has offered them generous flexibility with regards to application deadlines and producer-required deliverables. In the past 13 months, LRM and its designees applied directly for six permits, four of which did not meet the required application deadlines. This occurred most recently for the approved Halloween on Lincoln Road event, a very complex, annual event that requires much coordination with various agencies and departments. . It should also be noted that the City's application deadlines are necessary as they provide adequate time for the various City's departments to review, coordinate and allocate resources to the event. During a time such as Art Basel, planning is even more critical to ensure better management of the multitude of events in the overall MEP. Please be advised that the City received thirteen (13) timely special events applications for the Art Basel period, and did not accept another five applications received after the deadline, exclusive of this particular application. The following is a very brief chronology relating to this partiCUlar application: Event representatives (not Lincoln Road Association representatives) initially contacted the City on October 12 to inquire about the potential of producing the subject event. They were provided all required information and advised of the deadline, which was October 26th - or two weeks later. There was no denial of their request, as no application had been submitted. However, please be advised that there were concerns raised by staff to the initial suggestion by the event representatives regarding the use of the City's public parking lot for the event. Please also note that the October 26th deadline date is an extended deadline that was initiated for Art Basel Miami Beach and was designed specifically to be responsive to events on private property that pose minimal to no public disruption. This type of extension has become a common practice during larger event periods to accommodate typically last Page 2 of 2 Salon des Artistes - Lincoln Road minute requests from the business community, specifically the hotel industry. The typical 60 day application deadline, as specified in the special event guidelines and application, would have been October 8th. Although the deadline requirements for special event permits for Art Basel Miami Beach were shared in person with the event representatives as early as two weeks prior to the extended deadline for submission of applications, our staff received an application relating to this event on November 8, 2006, or nearly two weeks after the deadline, and almost a month after the initial meeting with our staff. I have attached a copy of the application for your reference. The missed, extended deadline for submission of the application is only one issue regarding this event. Staff reviewed the request and identified concerns with the location and orientation of the proposed event site. For example, the proposed public access to the event can only be provided through Lincoln Lane South, an active, heavily utilized road and not a safe pedestrian walkway; this access would also disrupt the sole egress of one of the City's mini public parking lots. Since Lincoln Lane South cannot be closed to vehicular traffic, the location of the proposed event, should this be the only access to the site, is logistically a problem. In addition to some minor inconsistencies on the application, there were also concerns regarding impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood, etc. It is important to note that the total event period is six days (including load in and break down), with event hours running from 2:00 p.m. to 11 :00 p.m. from December 6th - 10th. It is typical for us to solicit input from those impacted by special events or, at a minimum, provide notification. That said, the Administration was called by other representatives of Lincoln Road and was reviewing their request at the time that emails were distributed by one of the Lincoln Road tenants. Staff met with representatives of the applicant this week and discussed the above noted concerns. They have indicated that they will review these concerns with the applicant and advise how and if they can address these issues. A satisfactory resolution of these issues remains essential for any consideration of their request and they have been advised that we will review their revised application expeditiously once we receive it. It is important to point out that issues such as those identified for this proposed event are precisely the reason why the City requires that sufficient time be provided for review of applications, and works with organizations to ensure they submit their applications in a timely manner. As you know, the City encourages events such as these and assists with ensuring these events do not have unintended negative impacts. That is why there is a detailed process to review and consider all applications submitted, and a deadline to ensure sufficient time is provided to identify any issues and work on mutually agreeable and beneficial solutions - especially during periods of time when multiple requests are submitted and must be reviewed, considered and coordinated. The correspondence that has been shared with you and your staff fails to recognize the existing process and the role of the applicant in staffs initial denial of the untimely application. As always, please feel free to call me should you have any questions or require additional information. Attachment cc: Hilda M.
