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 presence 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 from Washington Avenue Plaza through
the Park to Ocean Plaza 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.

South Pointe Park Project
On June 19, 1996, the City Commission adopted the General Obligation Master Plan for
improvements to the City's Parks and Recreation facilities. The Parks Bond Master Plan was
developed to reflect the community needs and priorities as it relates to the City's Parks and
Recreation programs. The Park Bond Master Plan Program developed and established guidelines for
the prospective improvements to the City's parks, including South Pointe Park. The implementation
of the South Pointe Master Plan Program was estimated at approximately $4.1 Million Dollars.
On July 1, 1998, the City Commission adopted a Resolution authorizing the reallocation of
$1,192,583 from the General Obligation Bond Series 1996 (Park Improvement Projects), comprised
of $900,659 and $291,924 for South Pointe and Washington Parks respectively. These funds were
re-distributed specifically to the North Shore Park and various other projects included in the 1996
G.O. Bond Parks Program.
On September 23, 1998, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency (RDA) adopted a Resolution
authorizing the appropriation of funds in the amount of$1,192,583, to restore the funds previously
reallocated from the South Pointe and the Washington Parks Bond projects.
In the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 South Pointe Redevelopment Agency Capital Budget, the amount of
$2,299,341 is available for the improvements to South Pointe Park.
In addition, on November 2,1999, the citizens of Miami Beach approved the allocation of$2

been working with the Administration to re-evaluate and to update the 1996 Park Bond Master Plan
Program as it relates to South Pointe Park.
In order to gain a general consensus and attain the maximum public participation in the re-validation
process of the South Pointe Park Bond Master Plan Program, the Administration held two (2)
workshops with the users. These community meetings were held at Smith and Wollensky located

Bermello, Ajamil and Partners, Inc., and the firm in charge ofthe site and landscape architectural
designs of the project participated in these workshops.
During these meetings the Administration discussed three (3) land use design options with the
community. The proposed number of parking spaces is the main difference between the three (3)
options. Option "A" proposes 324 parking spaces; Option "B", 209 parking spaces and Option "C",
228 parking spaces. Currently, the park has 215 parking spaces.

flow, lighting, new restroom building with Park and Recreation Office.
.

.

Additional parking areas.
During the workshops, the participants rejected any proposition to add more parking spaces to the
park. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Board, during a regular meeting held on September 6,
2000, passed a motion to maintain the number of parking spaces in the proposed improvements at
215 spaces.
On October 2, 2000, the Parking and Transportation Committee, during its regular meeting, passed
an identical motion to maintain the number of parking spaces in the proposed South Pointe Park

improvements to 215 spaces within the park.
On October 2, 2000, the General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee passed a motion that the
total number of parking spaces for the park, including the additional spaces proposed in the
Washington Avenue Extension, would not exceed 215 spaces.
As a point of information, the Lease Agreement with Smith and Wollensky allows the restaurant to
use 105 spaces from the current 215 parking spaces in the park. Also, as provided in the contract,
Smith and Wollensky pays an impact fee for an additional 32 parking spaces.
The United States Department of the Interior was also contacted by the Administration on September
18,2000. The Parks and Recreation Department Director discussed the future improvements with
the Federal Lands-to-Parks Program Manager of the National Parks Service. The City's Agreement
with the National Parks Service is that the property as conveyed, remains park space, open to the
public. Information regarding the proposed improvements are incorporated in the biennial report
previously submitted to the Department ofInterior (see Attachment No.2). The issue of adding more
parking spaces was also discussed. The Department of Interior's position is that if more parking
spaces are added, they must be for the use of the park users. No additional parking spaces shall be
provided for commercial use.
The Administration recommends the development of the project design, providing 215 spaces within
the boundaries of the park, in addition to the parking spaces being constructed in the Washington
A venue extension, as part of South Pointe Streetscape project.
Bermello, Ajamil and Partners Inc., submitted a preliminary schedule for completion to City staff.
The most important milestones are as follows:
. The programming phase is estimated to be completed by December of2000.
. The Design and Construction Documents and Building Department review process phases
are estimated to be completed by September of200l and the Bid process to start immediately
thereafter.
. Construction is estimated to start by November 2001 and to be completed by October 2002.
The Administration is requesting that the consultant shorten the proposed time frame for the
completion of design and construction documents, allowing construction to commence before
November 2001.The following tables will illustrate the use of the funds as established in Table I,
