COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution authorizing a grant of a non-exclusive easement to Florida Power & Light (FP&L) at
Maurice Gibb Memorial Park (Formerly Island View Park) on Sunset Harbour Drive for energizing the
stormwater urn in facilit.
Ke Intended Outcome Su orted:
Ensure well maintained infrastructure
Issue:
Shall the City grant a non-exclusive easement to Florida Power & Light (FP&L) at Maurice Gibb
Memorial Park?
Item Summa IRecommendation:
In 1996, the Sunset Harbour Streetscape Project was constructed, which included a complete
modification of the stormwater drainage system in the area bounded by 20th Street, Purdy Avenue, Dade
Blvd. and Alton Road. Subsequent to the construction of the Project and partly due to the water quality
level of service restrictions imposed by DERM, the stormwater drainage improvements which were
constructed did not resolve the stormwater drainage problems which existed in the Sunset Harbour
neighborhood.
Following continued citizen complaints, the City tasked CH2M Hill, the City's drainage consultant, to
design improvements/modifications to the existing drainage system on Sunset Harbour Drive and 20th
Street, to alleviate the flooding situation. The proposed improvements designed by CH2M Hill included
pump stations at the three existing drainage well locations on Sunset Harbor.
In 2002, the first phase of these improvements, consisting of retrofitting the existing drainage wells with
pump station facilities were constructed. Structures for the proposed pumps were installed at the three
locations but pumps were installed at only one location where flooding was most severe.
Public Works assessed the need to retrofit the remaining deep gravity wells stations with pumps, thus
increasing the discharge capacity of the system. Public Works is proceeding with the installation of the
two pumps. To supply underground electrical power to one of these pump stations located at the Maurice
Gibb Memorial Park, Florida Power and Light (FP&L) requested an easement to install a transformer on
a pad with underground feeders within the park property.
The Administration re uest a roval of the Resolution.

ANAL YSIS
In 1996, the Sunset Harbour Streetscape Project was constructed, which included a
complete modification of the stormwater drainage system in the area bounded by 20th
Street, Purdy Avenue (Sunset Harbour Drive), Dade Blvd. and Alton Road. Subsequent
to the construction of the Project and partly due to the water quality level of service
restrictions imposed by Department of Environmental Resources Management, the
stormwater drainage improvements which were constructed did not resolve the
stormwater drainage problems in that neighborhood.
In response to citizen complaints, the City issued Task Order No. 26 to the City's
drainage consultant, CH2M Hill, under an existing contract for a citywide Stormwater
Management Program, to design and permit improvements/modifications to the existing
drainage system on Sunset Harbour Drive and 20th Street in order to alleviate the
flooding situation. The design included the modification of three existing drainage well
structures by installing appropriate pollution reduction boxes and pump housing
structures at the following locations:
· In Maurice Gibb Memorial Park (Formerly Island View Park) at the intersection of
Dade Boulevard and Purdy Avenue
(Sunset Harbour Drive)
· At the entrance to the Marina located at the intersection of Purdy Avenue and
18th Street
· In the median strip at the intersection of 20th Street and West Avenue
Pumps were installed only at the entrance to the Marina located at the intersection of
Purdy Avenue (Sunset Harbour Drive) and 18th Street, the location which experienced
the flooding problem.
On September 25, 2002, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2002-24986
appropriating funds and awarding the contract for the construction of the above
described first phase of drainage improvements.
The construction was completed with a pump station located at the marina at Purdy
Avenue and 18th Street and with provisions to install pumps at the other two locations at
some point in the future.
The need for additional drainage improvements has been identified and Public Works is
proceeding with the installation of pumps at the two remaining deep drainage gravity well
locations. The work is scheduled to be completed by March 2006.
In order to supply underground electrical power to one of these pump stations located at
the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park, Florida Power and Light (FP&L) has to install a
transformer on a pad with underground feeders within the park property. To energize the
system, FP&L is requesting the City to grant an easement for the pad mounted
transformer, clearances and the underground transmission ducts.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends the granting of the non-exclusive easement by the
Mayor and City Commission to Florida Power & Light for the underground utilities and
the transformer pad, and the execution and recording of said easement by the City Clerk
to allow energizing of the Stormwater pumping system at Maurice Gibb Memorial Park.
