SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THECITY OF MIAMI BEACH,' FLORIDA ACCEPTING THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNIry
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AT ITS JUNE 27, 2014 MEETING AND
ADOPTING THE CONCEPTUAL PARK MASTER PLAN FOR THE
PARK SPACE KNOWN AS ALTOS DEL MAR PARK LOCATED AT
7701 COLLINS AVENUE.
BACKGROUND
Altos Del Mar Park is located between 77th Street on the north, 76th Street on the south, Collins
Avenue on the west and the Beachwalk on the east and contains approximately 2.5 acres. The
City contracted with AECOM Technical Services to develop a master plan for the park.
The key issues as described in the scope of services included;
- The development of an appropriate range of spaces and facilities for general and
passive recreation, such as, open play areas (non-lighted and lighted), walking paths,
landscape areas, etc.;- Performance area with possible movable stage;- Opportunities and constraints for the park presented by the adjacent public library and
parking lot property;- Accessibility for the surrounding neighborhood via street end connectivity to existing
Beachwalk; and- Provide input for arts in public place initiatives (art works by others).
Upon execution of the agreement, City officials and Parks and Recreation representatives
determined that it would be prudent to delay the actual project start date until the end of
calendar year 2013 such that all residents, both year-round and seasonal, would be available
for participation in the stakeholder workshop approach to be deployed by the consultant team.
Parks and Recreation leadership assembled the consultant team for an internal workshop on
December 13,2013, in order to provide overview guidance and the establishment of City goals
and objectives. With this information and directives in-hand, the consultant team began their
initial project due-diligence, site analysis and opportunities and constraints analysis of the
subject property and its outlying areas. Several team meetings were conducted on-site where
representatives from the City Manager's Office, Police Department, Planning and Zoning and
Parks & Recreation provided input and guidance.
The consultant team then began the process of organizing a series of interactive public
workshops to gain input from the stakeholders and concerned citizens and to develop the
921

overall goals and objectives for the park from the neighbors and potential park users. Three
interactive workshops were conducted as follows;
1. Stakeholder Goals and Objectives and park program elements, February 27,2014.
This first session was held with approximately 40 citizens and was intended to familiarize
the stakeholders with the inherent attributes of the park, its potential for development,
discussions concerning 'active and passive' uses and the overall development of potential
program elements that would be used in the next session of concerning development
alternatives exploration. The overall consensus was that this park should be passive and
should be designed as a neighborhood park (vs community or regional park). lncreasing
user safety was a primary consideration for the future park design.
2. Development Alternatives Exploration, May 1 ,2014.
The second workshop was attended by approximately 30 citizens and the consultant team
presented three alternative plans; Alternative I was summarized as a more formal Beaus
Art style layout with native plantings in a traditional Florida hammock style such as one
might find at Fairchild Gardens. Alternative 2 was expressed as the "Great Lawn" solution
and featured native plantings with a substantial lawn area tilted up towards the dune
highpoint. Alternative 3 featured a more avant-garde approach with a sweeping wall that
separated the park from the dune and featured a bridge element to connect the main park
to a beach observation platform. The workshop ended in an interactive voting exercise with
the Stakeholders voting unanimously for Alternative 1.
3. Preferred Alternative Presentation, June 10,2014.
This workshop was attended by 35 citizens and was conducted in an open house style so
that stakeholders could spend a considerable amount of time reviewing the preferred plan
in an extensive question and answer session. The consultant team stressed that it is
critical that the stakeholders clearly articulate their vision for the park, and that the park
would be a phased over a period of time. A final interactive session was conducted to
determine the stakeholder priorities for 25 program elements. Priorities were categorized
as 1't, 2nd and 3'd and voting tallies were recorded.
Primary Challenges encountered during the master plan development efforts focused on the
inclusion of several "lighting rod" program elements including public restrooms, observation
pavilion, interactive fountain and sand volleyball courts. These elements were debated, both
pro and con, at virtually every workshop with citizens being fairly evenly split on all issues. The
consultant team developed a final plan that included all these elements; however, the team
stressed that the master plan is not directing that each of these elements be included in the
final design and construction plans, but if these elements are ultimately included in the park
construction, the master plan has appropriately located each element in the best possible
area.
Solutions/Conclusions of the consultant team, stakeholders and City representatives can be
generalized that this is the vision that the stakeholders, City staff and consultant team have
crafted together in a fair and democratic process. No one gets everything, everyone gets
something. The park features a safe and accessible public open space that is unique to this
location, but is in harmony with the high standards of quality demanded by the stakeholders,
citizens and city leadership of Miami Beach. The net result will offer a beautiful, safe and
functional city park that serves the residents, the visitors, the local food, retail and hotel
establishments and will provide people of all ages and abilities a new and exciting venue for
enjoying the best that the City of Miami Beach has to offer.
