BACKGROUND
On November 17, 1997, the City's Design Review Board (DRB) approved a request by
Hotelerama Associates, Ltd. (Hotelerama), owner of the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort and Towers,
to renovate and improve the existing Fontainebleau Hilton Resort and Towers complex, located
at 4441 Collins Avenue. The new 250 unit condominium/hotel building project includes a new
vehicular and pedestrian arrival plaza.
AGENDA ITEM~
DATE -U9_q_q~
ANALYSIS
The DRB's approval was contingent upon the relocation of the 44th Street right-of-way adjacent
to the existing hotel complex (see attached sketch).
Collins Avenue and 44th Street are part of State Road AlA which is under the jurisdiction of the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Hotelerama is currently negotiating with FDOT
and the City to obtain approval for the proposed relocation of 44th Street. FDOT is requiring a
public hearing be held by the City on September 23, 1998, for the relocation of 44th Street as a
condition of approval.
Hotelerama is required to comply with all replatting requirements as outlined by Miami-Dade
County. The City will concurrently vacate any interest it might have regarding the 44th Street
right-of-way. In addition, Hotelerama requested an agreement with the City on the timing of
events.
CONCLUSION
The public hearing will provide a forum for consideration of the conceptual approval only, of the
proposed project.
