SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO

ANALYSIS
Flamingo Park is a 36-acre park bordered on the east by Meridian Avenue and on the west
by Alton Road, from 11th to 12th Street, and Michigan Avenue, from 12th Street to 14th Street
mid-block. The Park is currently comprised of a football stadium and grandstand; the tennis
center (17 courts), the Friendship Corner building; the baseball stadium and grandstand; the
Police Athletic League (PAL) building; the Flamingo Pool building; the Boys and Girls Club;
the handball courts; the football field house and picnic shelter; the Property Management
Yard office and facilities; the switch and storage building; the ticket booths and concession
stands; a comfort station; a dog park; and a tot lot/playground.
On July 15, 2009, The Boys and Girls Club of Miami received approval of its plans from the
City Commission for construction of a new two-level facility, to replace the existing single-
story facility in Flamingo Park, which has a number of significant structural and flooding
problems. The new structure will provide for increased capacity and programming
opportunities involving educational support and athletic activities for pre-teen and teenage
children. On September 8, 2009, the Historic Preservation Board recommended approval of
a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the complete demolition, of the existing
Boys and Girls Club, and approved the construction of the proposed new two-level facility in
the same location.
CONCLUSION
Since this facility is a City-owned property, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB)
recommendation is advisory to the City Commission (pursuant to City Code Section 118-
563). It is, however, recommended that the Commission follow the HPB process of setting a
Public Hearing to consider the granting of a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition. It
should be noted that the scheduling of a Public Hearing is not specifically required by the
City Code, but is a prudent measure, and the does not impact the demolition schedule, since
the construction documents for this phase of the project have not been completed.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission schedule a Public Hearing on
January 13, 2010; to consider granting a Certificate of Appropriateness for the complete
demolition of the Boys and Girls Club Structure, located at 1200 Michigan Avenue.
