Item SummaryfRecommendation:
During the planning of the Palm and Hibiscus Island Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW) Improvement
Project (the Project), the Palm-Hibiscus-Star Islands Association (HOA) initiated a petition for the
undergrounding of aerial utilities. The HOA elected to pursue the creation of a Special Taxing District with
Miami Dade County in order to finance the expenses associated with the undergrounding utilities project.
On December 7, 2010 after various public hearings, the registered voters elected to move forward with the
undergrounding utilities project for Hibiscus Island only. FPL prepared and submitted preliminary
drawings and a cost proposal for the overhead-to-underground conversion for the neighborhood.
In order for FPL to complete the overhead-to-underground conversion for Hibiscus Island, it will be
necessary for the City to grant an easement to FPL for maintenance of its facilities. Once the FPL cables
are installed underground, the aerial FPL cables will be removed from the utility pole located throughout
the island.
The cost for the installation of the conduit/wire, pad-mounted switch cabinets and capacitor bank is
included in the FPL Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC). FPL will receive payment for the overhead-
to-underground conversion and complete the installation of infrastructure via the Miami Dade County
Hibiscus Island Overhead Service Relocation Improvement Special Taxing District.
The Administration recommends approval of the resolution.

BACKGROUND
During the planning of the Palm and Hibiscus Island Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW)
Improvement Project (the Project), the Palm-Hibiscus-Star Islands Association (HOA)
initiated a petition for the undergrounding of aerial utilities. The HOA elected to pursue the
creation of a Special Taxing District with Miami Dade County in order to finance the
expenses associated with the undergrounding utilities project.
On December 7, 2010 after various public hearings, the registered voters elected to move
forward with the undergrounding utilities project for Hibiscus Island only. FPL prepared and
submitted preliminary drawings and a cost proposal for the overhead-to-underground
conversion for the neighborhood.
In order for FPL to complete the overhead-to-underground conversion for Hibiscus Island, it
will be necessary for the City to grant an easement (Attachment) to FPL for maintenance of
its facilities. Once the FPL cables are installed underground, the aerial FPL cables will be
removed from the utility pole located throughout the island.
The cost for the installation of the conduit/wire, pad-mounted switch cabinets and capacitor
bank is included in the FPL Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC). FPL will receive
payment for the overhead-to-underground conversion and complete the installation of
infrastructure via the Miami Dade County Hibiscus Island Overhead Service Relocation
