Morales, City Manager DATE: October 18, 2017 SUBJECT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO FIND FUNDING OPTIONS, ESTIMATED AT BETWEEN $15,000 TO $50,000, TO FENCE IN A DOG USE AREA, TO PROVIDE A DOGGIE BAG DISPENSER, AN AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM, TWO ST. AUGUSTINE SOD INSTALLATIONS PER YEAR TO REPLACE WORN TURF GRASS, AND THE ASSOCIATED DOG AREA AMENITIES, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018-19, FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATED DOG AREA IN NORTH BEACH PROPOSED FOR THE INTERSECTION OF RUE VENDOME, BIARRITZ DR.,AND BREST ESPLANADE. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approving the Resolution. ANALYSIS At its February 17, 2017 meeting, the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee brought back an item for discussion related to finding an additional designated dog area in North Beach and to discuss the results of the community outreach by the Communications and Public Works Departments to determine the desire for such an area in the neighborhood. The community outreach information attached, showed that a significant number of respondents were in favor of creating a dog area in the neighborhood. The area that was chosen as a potential site for the new dog area is a 5,000 square foot piece of existing greenspace at the intersection of Rue Vendome, Biarritz Dr., and Brest Esplanade. However, the Committee clarified that the greenspace area, which currently consists of grass and Oak Trees, was not to be designated as a dog park, rather an area to be utilized by all, with the same operating hours as a park. Public Works noted that there was a shortage of right-of-way space for the infrastructure needed in the City, but offered no objection to the use of the space as a dog area in the interim until an immediate infrastructure need arises for the parcel. The Committee discussed the idea of having a fence built into this space, as well as having a doggie bag dispenser installed. A motion was made to have the estimated costs programmed into the upcoming years' budget and/or to bring it back to the full Commission to request additional funds as needed. Based on our assessment of the current site conditions, the cost can range from $15,000 for a simple fence and a doggie bag dispenser, to $50,000 which would include an automatic irrigation system, two St. Augustine sod installations per year to replace worn turf grass, and the associated dog park amenities. The Department suggests that the improvements if approved begin with a modest installation covered by the operating budget.

The overall sentiment from those surveyed was very positive and many felt the green space was a perfect use for a dog area.

Commissioners in attendance: Commissioners Micky Steinberg, Kristen Rosen Gonzalez, John Elizabeth Aleman and Joy Malakoff. Members from the Administration and the public were also in attendance.

Discussion Regarding A Skate Park/ Parking Structure At The 72 nd Street Parking Lot (P92) Commission Item R9E, January 13, 2017 (Sponsored by Commissioner Arriola) Jeff Oris, Economic Development Division Director AFTER-ACTION Jeff Oris, Economic Development Division Director presented the item. He said that at last Page 239 of 165 part of the park is where something like that can take place; it is the perfect landscape for that. Commissioner Malakoff asked how soon these things can be done. She said the artisanal market is something that can be done sooner. Commissioner Steinberg asked if the CAC will be funding some of this. Brandi Reddick said they are going to try to fund it through the Cultural Arts grant program, they have a cultural endowment and they are willing to explore using part of the endowment as part of a private partnership. This would be something like the Lincoln Road Improvement District where they have allocated a percentage of their tax dollars to go for something for art and culture. If Ocean Drive could come up with something similar, the council would be interested in matching it with the endowment. Commissioner Malakoff said it sounds like a good plan. Commissioner Rosen Gonzalez asked about Shakespeare in the park. Brandi Reddick said Miami New Drama has already talked about that for programming for next year and also bringing some of their theater performance out to Lummus Park. Kathie Brooks, Assistant City Manager said as far as the artisanal market is concerned, they recommended it to go out for RFP on that. She said maybe the committee can make a motion on that. MOTION: Commissioner Aleman moved for commission approval on the artisanal market to go out for RFP. Commissioner Rosen Gonzalez seconded.All in favor. 5. Discussion On An Additional Designated Dog Area In North Beach Commission Item C4D, November 9, 2016 (Sponsored by Commissioner Steinberg) Eric Carpenter,Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director AFTER-ACTION Eric Carpenter, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director presented the item. He said that the recommendation of the committee from last month was that they do some outreach to the neighborhood, with the help of the Communications department they were able to do door to door outreach with flyers and a survey. They also did surveying at a couple of events in the North Beach area over the last month and there were 52 respondents to the survey as of February 10th. The data seems to significantly favor at least looking into this further. Commissioner Steinberg said this came out because people from the neighborhood asked her for this. She wants to make sure it is not a dog park; we would use the area with the same hours of operation as the dog parks. It is a public right of way triangle; she thinks it is a great way to clean up the area with a use. She also said that public works may need it in the future maybe for pumps or they may not. Eric Carpenter said they always have a shortage of right of way space for all of the infrastructure we need in the City. There is no reason they shouldn't utilize the space until there is a greater need. Page 286 of 1854 Commissioner Aleman suggested sending this to the FCWP committee for a fence and a bag station. Commissioner Steinberg said they need a bag station. Eric Carpenter said the question he had was whether the committee wanted to refer this to the full Commission or if they wanted it to be programmed into the budget cycle. Commissioner Steinberg said he should just program it into the budget cycle. Commissioner Aleman asked if they have money for this with the remaining funds from this year. Eric Carpenter said he doesn't know the exact cost, but it is probably 25,000 dollars or under. Kathie Brooks, Assistant City Manager said it doesn't necessarily have to go to the FCWP committee in advance of the budget cycle, it can be a part of the budget cycle, but it should go back to Commission accepting the recommendation of the committee. Commissioner Aleman asked if Eric Carpenter has enough money in his current budget to get this done. He said he doesn't know that he has it in his current budget. Commissioner Steinberg said maybe he should just get the Commission's approval first. Eric Carpenter said his thought process was that it either had to be vetted by the full Commission through the budget cycle or it needed to be given a favorable recommendation to go back to the Commission for them to try to find something sooner. MOTION: Commissioner Aleman motioned for this to go back to the full Commission with a favorable recommendation and request to find funding this year. Commissioner Steinberg seconded it.All in favor. 6. Discussion Regarding The Site Plan For North Shore Open Space Park Commission Item C4A, January 11, 2017 (Capital Improvement Projects) David Martinez, Capital Improvement Projects Director AFTER-ACTION David Martinez, CI P Director presented the item. He said at the last meeting they discussed 30% plans in preparation to go to the Design Review Board in March. When they presented there were several items that were highlighted by the committee that tey wanted to elaborate on and hopefully get a positive response and move forward with the development of the park. The items they touched base on are site lighting, playground location, fence line along Collins Avenue, the imapct on trees, and the beachwalk. David Martinez handed it over to Gianno Feoli, the consultant from Calvin and Giordanno Associates to give a presentation. Gianno Feoli went through the powerpoint presentation regarding the overall site plan rendering along with the different items that were discussed during the last meeting. The main points were gone through individually. While Gianno Feoli was explainign the impact on trees, Commissioner Steinberg asked if the oak trees are native, Gianno Feoli said yes. Commissioner Rosen Gonzalez said she notices in Page 286 of 1854
