Item
SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING
The City had provided service for developmentally disabled vocation training at the Log Cabin Training
Center from 1975 until 2005. The City issued an RFP on March 10, 2005 for qualified providers to ensure
the continued provision of services to the developmentally disabled population. On July 6, 2005 Sunrise
Community Inc was selected as the top ranked firm.
On June 7, 2006 a lease agreement was approved by the City Commission for the Demised Premises
which retroactively commenced on September 1, 2005 and ended on August 31, 2006 with two additional
one year terms. On July 2, 2007 Log Cabin Enterprises Inc., the entity managing the plant nursery which
provided the sheltered worksite for the training facility, merged with Sunrise Community Inc.
The City Commission on March 12, 2008 approved on first reading the new Lease Agreement with Sunrise
Community, Inc. pursuant to their request of October 5,.2007 Sunrise Community Inc. for an extension of
their lease agreement until the year 2012 and proposed approximately $40,000 in improvements to the
facility by Sunrise Community Inc. There are no additional extensions in the lease agreement terminating
August 31, 2008. At that time, the lease would again be subject to an RFP. In lieu of the requested
changes as proposed in the request, the Sunrise Community Inc. is requesting that the lease for the training
facility be extended for one year and three months which would make it coterminous with the lease
agreement for the nursery, which is now run by the Sunrise Community Inc. Sunrise commits to $15,000 in
improvements (attachment) during the first year of this new lease. The current lease will be terminated
upon execution of this new lease agreement.
As the two entities are interrelated in operations, it would benefit the City to have the lease agreements
coterminous as they are also both located on the same parcel of City-owned property.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution approving the
lease agreement with the Sunrise Community Inc. for the developmentally disabled adult training center.

BACKGROUND
From 1975 until 2005, the City had been providing services forthe developmentally disabled
at the City-owned property, commonly referred to as the Log Cabin Training Center, located
at 8128 Collins Avenue. On March 10, 2005, the City issued Request for Proposals No.12-
04/05 to identify a qualified provider to ensure the continued provision of services to the
developmentally disabled population served at the Log Cabin Training Center (the RFP). On
July 6, 2005, the Mayor and City Commission selected Sunrise Community, Inc., as the top
ranked firm pursuant to the RFP.
Subsequently on June 7, 2006, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No.
2006-26230, approving a Lease Agreement with Sunrise Community, Inc., on first reading,
and on July 12' 2006, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2006-26270,
approving the aforestated Lease Agreement, on second reading, following a duly noticed
public hearing; the initial term of said Lease retroactively commenced on September 1,
2005, and ended on August 31, 2006, and further provided fortwo (2) additional one (1) year
renewal terms, at City Manager's discretion.
As part of the aforestated agreement, the following terms were significant:
• Base Rent for the Demised Premises totaling six thousand dollars ($6,000) per year
payable in monthly installments;
• Additional Rent of four hundred fifty dollars ($450.00) per month for the use of
furniture and fixtures on site;
• Comprehensive General Liability, Workers Compensation and Employers Liability,
All-Risks Property and Casualty Insurance;
• Maintenance of all non-structural and interior portions of the Demised Premises;
• Review and Monitoring of permitted uses by the City's Department of Neighborhood
Services.
On July 1, 2007, Log Cabin Enterprises, Inc. which managed the nursery, merged with the
Sunrise Community, Inc. with the Board of Directors remaining as the controlling body forthe
nursery operations. The sole purpose of the plant nursery is to provide an educational and
sheltered work program for developmentally disabled adults, which are trained by Sunrise
Community, Inc. at the Log Cabin Training Center. The relationship between the training
center and the nursery was established to be symbiotic.
In a letter addressed to the City Manager dated October 5, 2007, Sunrise Community Inc.
requested an extension of the current lease to 2012 based on past improvements made by
Sunrise Community Inc. to the Demised Premises estimated at $20,000, as well as intended
proposed improvements approximated by Sunrise at $40,000. The current lease has been
extended twice and terminates August 31, 2008 with no further extensions remaining.
Based upon Sunrise Community Inc.'s satisfactory past performance, and conditioned
further upon Sunrise's commitment to make proposed $15,000 improvements to the
Demised Premises within the next twelve (12) months, the Administration would recommend
entering into a new Lease Agreement with Sunrise Community Inc. for a term of one (1) year
and three (3) months. While providing for the proposed improvements (attachment), it
allows both leases, now under control of Sunrise Community Inc. to become coterminous to
July 31, 2009. As these two operations are interrelated, and exist physically on the parcel of
City-owned property, it would be to the benefit of the City to address both Tenants within
corresponding lease terms.
City Commission Memorandum -Sunrise Community Lease, 2"d Reading
Apri116, 2008
Page 3 of 3
As part of the proposed new lease, Sunrise Community Inc. will provide all of the previous
terms delineated in the current lease agreement, with the exception of Additional Rent.
Sunrise Community Inc. has purchased the inventory from the City and will no longer provide
additional rent for the use of furniture and fixtures.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the new
Lease Agreement and said waiver as provided in Section 82-39, as amended.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Ana Cecilia Velasco, Asset Manager
FROM: Jorge G. Gomez, Planning Director ~~L ro -~~ M ~~,a =
DATE: March 3, 2008
SUBJECT: Analysis of Proposed Lease with Sunrise Community, Inc.
8128 Collins Avenue
Pursuant to your request, this memorandum will serve as a planning analysis of the
proposed lease agreement between the City and Sunrise Community, Inc., forthe use of the
one story building located at 8128 Collins Avenue, encompassing approximately 2,500
square feet of City-owned property, forthe purpose of operating and managing a vocational
training site for developmentally disabled adults.
Section 82-38 of the Code of the City of Miami Beach requires that any proposed sale or
lease of City-owned land be analyzed from a planning perspective so that the City
Commission and the public are fully appraised of all conditions relating to the proposed sale
or lease. The following is an analysis of the criteria delineated in the Code:
1. Whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with city goals and objectives
and conforms to the city comprehensive plan.
Consistent -The property is located within the RM-1 Residential Multiple Family
Low Intensity future land use category, and surrounded by the RM-1 Residential
Multiple Family Low Intensity and ROS Recreation and Open Space future land use
categories. The lease agreement between the City and Sunrise Community, Inc. is
consistent with the future land use category description contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The impact on adjacent property, including the potential positive or negative
impacts such as diminution of open space, increased traffic, noise level or
enhanced property values, improved development patterns and provision of
necessary services. Based on the proposed use of the property, the city shall
determine the potential impact of the project on city utilities and other
infrastructure needs and the magnitude of costs associated with needed
infrastructure improvements. Should it become apparent that further
evaluation of traffic impact is needed, the proponent shall be responsible for
obtaining a traffic impact analysis from a reputable traffic engineer.
Proposed Lease -Sunrise Community, lnc.
8128 Collins Avenue
March 3, 2008
Page 2
Consistent -The property subject to the lease is part of the "West Lots" across
Collins Avenue from North Shore Open Space Park. The property has been and is
currently in use as a vocational training site for developmentally disabled adults, and
no change in operations is proposed. There would be no diminution of open space
as no new construction is being proposed. No additional utility or infrastructure is
expected to be necessary.
3. A determination as to whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with a
public purpose and community needs, such as expanding the city's revenue
base, creating jobs, creating a significant revenue stream, and improving the
community's overall quality of life.
Consistent -The proposal generates a small amount of income to the City,
however, there is a potential to create additional jobs. The benefits of having such a
facility within the City for training and education are important.
4. Determination as to whether or not the development is in keeping with the
surrounding neighborhood, will block views or create environmental
intrusions, and evaluation of the design and aesthetic considerations of the
project.
Consistent -The surrounding neighborhood consists of the North Shore Open
Space Park and the North Shore residential neighborhood. The continued use of
this building will not be out of character with the surrounding uses. View and
environmental considerations are not applicable.
5. The impact on adjacent properties, whether or not there is adequate parking,
street and infrastructure needs.
Consistent -The impact on adjacent properties should be minimal, as the facility is
already in use. The use should be contained within the subject property. Parking is
available, and the lessee's program provides other transport options. No further
infrastructure needs are anticipated.
6. A determination as to whether or not alternatives are available for the
proposed disposition, including assembly of adjacent properties, and whether
the project could be accomplished under a private ownership assembly.
Not applicable -This properly is part of the larger assembly of the City-owned west
lots. No assembly of land is necessary, nor would such be under private ownership.
Placing such a public service facility on privately owned land is probably not a
feasible option economically.
7. Within the constraints of public objectives, the department should examine
financial issues such as job generation, providing housing opportunities, and
the return to the city for its disposition of property.
The lessee's programs contribute to training, education and job creation, which are
important goals for the City.
8. Such other issues as the Planning Department may deem appropriate in
analysis of the proposed disposition.
Not applicable -The Planning Department has no other issues it deems
appropriate to analyze for this proposal.

Dear Mr. Gonzalez
Please allow this letter to serve as formal request for a Lease Amendment
pertaining to the Agreement between the City of Miami Beach and Sunrise
Group, Inc. dated the 30th of May, 2006. Please find copy of said agreement
attached hereto,
Sunrise Community, Inc. (also known as the "Sunrise Group, Inc." and
hereinafter referred to as Sunrise) commenced operation of the Adult Day
Training Center located at 8128 Collins Avenue after taking over from the
City of Miami Beach in May of 2006. Sunrise implemented a Corrective

September 17, 2007 request for afollow-up inspection from the City of Miami
Beach's Office of Community Services, Neighborhood Services Department.
Concurrent to Sunrise's programmatic efforts at Log Cabin, Sunrise
Community formally merged with Log Cabin Enterprises, Inc. on July 1, 2007.
To date, Sunrise has achieved the following
- Secured all appropriate insurance for the property located at 8128
Collins Avenue.
- Paid an outstanding audit amount on Log Cabin Enterprises' workers'
compensation policy.
- Paid all past IRS 941 forms (quarterly payroll tax reports.)
- Coordinated the completion of the FY 2007 Financial statements.
As of August 2007, Sunrise has invested close to $20,000 in improvements to
Log Cabin Enterprises. With these operational tasks successfully addressed,
Log Cabin's Board of Directors now has the full support of Sunrise's corporate
operations and the opportunity to operate as a Sunrise affiliate. As such, we
respectfully request that the Lease Agreement "Tenant" be amended and
reflect "Sunrise Community, Inc." (previously "Sunrise Group, Inc.") as
"Tenant". The revision would read as follows
A non-profit organization transforming
the lives of people. t~~ith developmental disabilities
"THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made this day of , 2007, by
and between the CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, a Florida municipal
corporation, (hereinafter referred to as "City" or "Landlord"), and
SUNRISE COMMUNITY, INC., a Florida not for-profit corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Tenant").
Concurrently, we ask that said Lease Agreement also be amended to reflect a
concurrent end date with the Lease Agreement between the City of Miami
Beach and Log Cabin Enterprises, Inc. (request that "Tenant" also be
amended to reflect "Sunrise Community, Inc.) dated the 20t'' day of July, 2006.
We ask that both leases be extended to run through the 31a1 day of August
2012.
Said request is based upon the investment made by Sunrise to date since the
merger with Log Cabin Enterprises. In addition, Sunrise intends to complete
substantial upgrades to the grounds and facilities located at 8128 Collins
Avenue. Initial estimates for the work to improve the facility are
approximately $40,000. Accordingly, Sunrise is seeking the above requested
changes and a longer term lease to better protect its proposed investment in
the property
Your consideration and approval of these three items is greatly appreciated
1. Revise parties to read the City of Miami Beach and Sunrise
Community, Inc.
2. Extend lease termination date to August 31, 2012.
3. Allow this Lease Amendment to run concurrently with the
programmatic lease between the City of Miami Beach and Sunrise,
both terminating on August 31, 2012.
Attached please find color renderings of the proposed upgrades. Should you
have specific questions or need more information regarding the requested
amendment, please feel free to contact me directly at (305) 273-3011. Your
consideration of the above requested revisions is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
