Condensed Title:
A Resolution Of The Mayor And City Commission Of The City Of Miami Beach, Florida, Accepting A
Subterranean Utility Easement From Bernard Baumel (Trust), Owner Of The Property Located At 1700
West 25'n Street, For An Amount Of $100,000, For The Construction, lnstallation, Maintenance, Repair,

lntended Outcome Su
Item Summary/Recommendation :
The City has an 8-inch diameter watermain and an 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer force main running
beneath the water channel separating Sunset lslands ll and lll. These mains were installed via an open cut
trench method and have several bends that allow them to connect to easements on the islands that are
offset from each other. Both the existing water and sewer subaqueous pipes have reached their life
expectancy of +80 years. Therefore, they will need to be replaced soon.
Due to the difficulty in permitting, as well as the intrusiveness of installing new mains via an open cut, the
City has determined that the horizontal directional drill method as the most practical method for installing
these mains. However, mains installed via this method can only have a limited deflection. As a result, the
old easements are too far offset to be used, and a new easement is needed on Sunset lsland ll in order to
install both the new subaqueous watermain and sanitary sewer force main.
At its November 14,2012 Commission Meeting, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 2012-28060,
accepting a subterranean utility easement from Bernard Baumel (Trust), owner of the property located at
1700 West 25'n Street, for the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of water and
sewer mains. However, the recording of the easement did not take place due to monetary compensation
being requested by the owner.
An appraisal for the property was conducted and presented to Public Works by Blazejack & Company on
March 2013, which reported the market value of the partial interest property in the amount of One Hundred
Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000).
CURRENT STATUS
City staff has met with the owner and has negotiated a value of the area needed for the installation of the
utilities. The City has agreed to pay the owner a onetime sum of $100,000.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION.

Extraordinary Assumptions
We have made our estimation of the value of the subtenanean easement taking in consideration the fact
that Mr. Richard Saltrick indicated that the City of Miami Beach proposes a subterranean easement so
that the owner can build over the easement.
If the proposed construction considers adifferent easement and limitations, the value conclusions could
be affected, and I reserve the right to change the value conclusions. I also made the extraordinary
assumption that the building will be completed in compliance with all applicable building codes and in a
workman-like manner typical ofconstruction standards currently considered acceptable.
