ADMINISTRATION REGOMMENDATION :
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 2014, the City Commission discussed a potential Resolution in
support of a Faena District Beach-Walk and Streetscape Plan (item R9M). The
Commission requested that a formal Resolution be brought back to the December 17,
2014 Commission Meeting.
The Faena Hotel Group is proposing an alternative beach-walk pavement for the Faena
District, including a design scheme and materials that deviates from the standard beach-
walk. Although the material and the design would be different, the location of the beach-
walk would remain the same.
THE PROPOSAL
The owner and developer of the new FAENA Hotel project on Collins Avenue between
32nd and 35th Streets has acquired a number of adjacent parcels, with frontage along
both sides of Collins Avenue and a smaller more limited frontage on lndian Creek Drive.
The City is currently designing the remainder of its beach-walk system, and the Faena
group has created a unique design for the beach-walk and rights-of-way within the
Faena District (see attached overlay map).

ANALYSIS
The subject Resolution authorizes a different design for the beach-walk within the Faena
District, including a 100 foot transition area north and south of the Faena District. The
Resolution also requires the Faena Group to be responsible for the design, construction,
and maintenance of the Faena portion of the beach-walk and the rights-of-way within the
Faena District, as reflected in the Faena beach-walk plan attached.
The Administration would also recommend that the approval of the Resolution
authorizing the proposed new design concept include a provision requiring that the
Faena Group bear the entire cost of its portion of the beach-walk. This would be in
addition to the amount that they agreed to cover in the initial beach-walk agreement
entered into a few years ago. Since a significantly different design and material palette is
proposed, as part of an overlay district unique to the Faena properties, the
Administration believes that the increased cost should be borne by the developer.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Resolution,
inclusive of an additional provision requiring that the Faena Group bear the entire cost of
its portion of the beach-walk.
