COMMISSION MEMO
FEBRUARY 5, 1997
On April 17, 1996, the City Commission approved a First Amendment to the Contract for Sale and Purchase
of Real Property dated December 22, 1995 modifying certain conditions of the Agreement and extending the
time to complete the relocation of the Coral Rock House to August 20, 1996. The Contract also stipulates
that this time can be extended by the mutual agreement of the parties.
Coordinating the various aspe~ts of the request for additional information from the Department of
Transportation necessary to evaluate approval of a special permit to relocate the House has caused delays
in completing the relocation of the House. These aspects include: Weight of the Structure, Maintenance of
Traffic, Turn Capability at the Intersection of Collins Avenue and Normandy Drive, Temporary Removal and
Replacement of Overhead Obstacles, Tree Canopies, Underground Utilities, Wind Factors, On Street Parking,
In the Event of an Accident, Public Information and Schedule of Movement, Current Construction and Action
Plan for Removal of Other Items.
Russell Building Movers, Inc., secured and braced the Coral Rock House at its original location, and installed
it on a temporary steel framework, which is necessary for weighing and moving. In December 1996, the
Florida Department of Transportation gave permission for the move of the Coral Rock House. The various
utilities companies have agreed to the route on which the house will be transported from its present location
to 1701 Normandy Drive.
The relocation date has been scheduled for February 16, 1997. The City will continue to provide assistance
to Mr. Kent Harrison Robbins in order to help facilitate the completion of this complex move.
ANALYSIS:
In view of these unforeseen delays, UNlOAD of Miami Beach, Inc.,the North Beach Investment Group, Inc.,
and Kent Harrison Robbins have agreed to amend the Contract for Sale and Purchase of Real Property, dated
December 22, 1995, for the property located at 1701 Normandy Drive. The amendment extends the time
to complete the relocation of the Coral Rock House to March 31, 1997, increases the estimated relocation
expenses to $125,510 and the amount of commitment from NBIG for relocation expenses to $95,000, and
authorizes the City to cover the unfunded portion of the relocation expenses in an amount up to $30,510. The
source of funding will be unallocated funds in the Special Projects Account.
Due to the complexity of this move, the estimated relocation expenses have increased from $80,000 to
$125,510. The North Beach Investment Group, Inc. has agreed to increase their contribution towards the
cost of the relocatioCl of the Coral Rock House to $95,000. Although all parties concerned are still working
towards reducing these estimated relocation costs, an unfunded amount of $30,510 is left based on the
current estimate.
The successful relocation of the Coral Rock House to 1701 Normandy Drive will preserve one of the last
remaining coral rock houses in Miami Beach and serve as a permanent Hispanic Community Center. An
extension of time to March 31, 1997 and authorizing the City to cover the unfunded portion of the relocation
expenses in an amount up to $30,510, will allow the successful completion of the relocation of the Coral
Rock House.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Second Amendment to that certain Contract for Sale and
Purchase of Real Property, dated December 22, 1995, among UNlOAD of Miami Beach, Inc., the North Beach
