Re: Tremont Towing/Modification of Towing Permit
Dear Saul:
/ am writing on behalf of my client, Tremont Towing with regard to an item we
request to be placed on the agenda for the May 11, 2011 Commission meeting.
Following up on recent conversations, | request that the City amend Tremont's
towing permit with the City of Miami Beach to allow a change of location for towing
operations and storage from the current location, 1916 Bay Road, Miami Baaoh, to a new
location, 1861 Bay Road, Miami Beach, to reduce required on-site storage to 35 vehicles
and to extend the term of the Permit.
As you are aware, the City has purchased the site Tremont currently uses to store
vehicles towed under the City permit. Tremont has been asked to immediately vacate its
current premises due to the commencement of construction of a new garage.
At the same time, Tremont operates a licensed towing business at 1861 Bay Road,
Miami Beach. The new location is somewhat smaller and much of the vehicle storage is
enclosed. This new location is consistent with the previously expressed wishes of the City
Commission to a) reduce the amount of on-site storage; and b) to screen as much of the
vehicle storage from public view.
