primary structures of historical significance. The remaining portion of the Auditorium building has been

which will service the needs and requirements of both the Beach Patrol Headquarters and the Miami
Design Preservation League (MDPL). The new Auditoriurn addition will be detached from the Beach Patrol
Headquarters, allowing for its substantial restoration, including thewestelevation. The design restores the
historic north-south pedestrian connection within Lummus Park that was lostwhen the Iwo buildings were
attached, as part of the Auditorium construction.
A Florida Power and Light (FPL) vault, which services the facility as well as Lummus Park lights, is located
within the area to be demolished. This requires the removal of the FPL electrical service equipment from
the existing electric service vault room, as well as the installation of a new underground duct bank and new
pad-mounted switching station and transformers within Lummus Park.
As a result, FPL requires the City to record a utility easement in order to service these transformers and

needs and requirements of both the Beach Patrol Headquarters and the Miami Design
Preservation League (MDPL). The new Auditorium addition will be detached from the Beach
Patrol Headquarters, allowing for its substantial restoration. The design restores the historic
north-south pedestrian connection within Lummus Park thatwas lostwhen the two buildings
were attached, as part of the Auditorium construction.
An existing Florida Power and Light (FPL) vault, which now provides services to the facility
