As we discussed during our meeting, Turnberry Isle Miami is

Florida's premiere destination golf resorts. We are requesting the opportunity to
discuss the resort's proposed expansion plans with the Mayor and City
Commission at the February 20,2015 workshop, along with the following matters
that will require future action by the City Commission:
• An amendment to the City Code land development regulations
allowing for increased lot coverage for resort hotels with a
surrounding golf course.
• Land use plan amendments changing the land use designation
of 89,350 square feet of land designated Business and Office to
Parks and Recreation, and changing the land use designation of
89,350 square feet of land designated Parks and Recreation to
Business and Office.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA-CM, City Manager
FROM: Commissioner Denise Landman
DATE: January 21, 2015
SUBJECT: Request to have FDOT Representative Attend Commission

RESOLUTION NO. 2015-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
AVENTURA, FLORIDA SUPPORTING A SOUTH FLORIDA SEA LEVEL
RISE AND CLIMATE CHANGE CONGRESS THAT WILL INCLUDE
LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS MEETING TO
PROPOSE CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTIONS TO SEA LEVEL RISE AND
CLIMATE CHANGE.
WHEREAS, numerous studies have established that South Florida is comprised
of some of the world's most vulnerable areas to the impacts of climate change as the
warming Earth's melting ice caps push the sea level higher; and
WHEREAS, scientists believe that the rising sea level will threaten some of the
region's most vital facilities; and
WHEREAS, South Florida's sea level rose about eight inches during the past
century, and is projected to increase by as much as two feet as early as 2048 and could
go up to three feet by 2063; and
WHEREAS, South Florida is exceptionally vulnerable to climate change due to
its unique geology that is built on porous limestone which is slowly filling up as the sea
level rises, making the land, streets and neighborhoods more likely to flood and cause
sewer systems to back up into homes and gardens; and
WHEREAS, southeast Florida's roads, bridges, and businesses already are
facing flooding because of higher sea levels, and the water is only expected to rise
higher during the next 50 years; and
WHEREAS, rising sea level threatens all of South Florida's popular coastal areas
and could alter the freshwater supply that feeds our cities and agriculture; and
WHEREAS, potential threats include more saltwater seeping in and fouling
drinking water supplies, and stronger, more frequent hurricanes; and
WHEREAS, with sea level rise of only three to nine inches, southeast Florida
could lose 70 percent of its drainage capacity in the 28 control structures that protect
the region from flooding and saltwater intrusion; and
WHEREAS, future warming will only increase the risk of more frequent and
severe impacts to the area's economy, infrastructure, and communities; and
City of Aventura Resolution No. 2015-_
Page 2
WHEREAS, a Southeast Regional Climate Compact exists to address climate
change in Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; and
WHEREAS, in moments of crisis special congresses have been convened to
address serious problems; and
WHEREAS, South Florida's coastal communities need all levels of government —
local elected officials, state elected officials, and the state's full Congressional
delegation — to mobilize resources for wide-ranging adaptation and mitigation
measures. By acting as leaders on climate action, Florida's decision-makers can not
only protect the State's vulnerable citizens from the dangers of climate change — they
can inspire communities across the United States to follow suit; and
WHEREAS, we call for a South Florida Sea Level Rise and Climate Change
Congress to address these issues specifically including the mobilization of resources for
wide-ranging adaptation and mitigation measures. This special Congress would include
all local, state, and federal elected officials in the four Southeast Florida counties
(Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach); and
WHEREAS, the southeast Florida climate change plan seeks to help local
communities take a regional approach to preparing for everything from sea level rise to
protecting drinking water supplies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, THAT:
Section 1. The City Commission hereby supports a South Florida Sea Level
Rise and Climate Change Congress that will include local, state, and federal elected
officials meeting to propose constructive solutions to sea level rise and climate change.
The City Commission encourages such a conference to be held which should
necessarily include: all local elected officials of all the 108 municipalities of Miami-
Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; the Mayor of Miami-Dade County
and all local elected officials at the county level in Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and
Palm Beach counties; the Governor of Florida and all elected Florida Legislature
representatives in the Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; and all
members of the U.S. Congressional delegation that represent Miami-Dade, Monroe,
Broward, and Palm Beach counties. A Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Congress
should address these issues specifically including the mobilization of resources for
wide-ranging adaptation and mitigation measures.
City of Aventura Resolution No. 2015-_

Section 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to forward this Resolution to all of
the elected officials listed in Section 1, above.
