Aventura, Florida 33180
Dear Mr. Soroka, Mayor Gottlieb:
Pursuant to our meeting this afternoon about Waterways Park, and our collective desire
to gain a portion of this new park for dog use, we would like to get this issue on the
agenda for the July 20, 2006 meeting with the Commission.
Issue:
The city of Aventura has outgrown its dog park. Veteran's Park (Southside), with
approximately 1/2 of an acre of space for all dogs - large and small breeds - simply
does not accommodate the rapid growth of our city.
We need a portion of the new 7-acre Waterways Park to alleviate the overcrowding, and
accommodate the needs of new dogs in Aventura.
Facts:
.
Our city is growing by leaps and bounds
13 new dog-friendly towers in development, many with no weight limits
Park space for children - over 13 acres; Park space for dogs - 1/2 acre
During winter months, parking is problematic at Veteran's Park
With 30-40 dogs on any given evening, no place to run or toss ball
Our current situation, which lumps together large and small breeds, is leading to
aggressive behavior and an unsafe situation for the small dogs
The number of dogs in this city equals, or exceeds, the number of children
If we do not act now, there will be no land left for us when the new developments
are complete, and the problem escalates
.

Thank you for your attention, and your assistance in getting this on the July 20, 2006
agenda.
Regards,
~

Biography
of
BOB BEAMON
An Olympic legend, entrepreneur, corporate spokesperson, and community leader, Bob
Beamon brings Beamonesque to everything tle toucl1es.
Bob Beamon's long jump in tile 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City has been sanctioned
_.~ as one of the five greatest sports moments of the 20th Century by Sports
Illustrated. As a 22-year old at the Mexico City Olympic Games he went
beyond simply breaking the world long jump record - he shattered it. With
a jump of 29' 2Y..", he landed in the sand 21'4 inches beyond the previous
world long jump record. Legerldary sports writer Dick Schaap labeled
Beamon's performance "The Perfect :Jump." He broke the world and
Olympic records by close to two feet and a new adjective was created,
Beamonesque, meaning 'a spectacular feat.'
He entered the Olympics as a favonte, winning 22 of 23 prior
competitions and being the NCAA long jump and triple jump champion.
Coach Larry Ellis encouraged Bob to maintain his unusual jumping style
and not be pressured to change it but perfect It. Today, Bob Beamon's
Olympic record still stands after 38 years and is the longest standing
record In Olympic l1istory. Even his long jump record from high school
still stands as a New York State record as well as his college NCAA
record.

Beamon's Olympic actlievement was not the end of the road for this wol1d-dass long
jumper. Instead of resting on his gOlden laurels and record-book
submission, Beamon channeled his energy into organizing the Bob Beamon
Celebrity Golf &. Tennis Classic charity event, honing his artistic talents and
building a successful garment business all his own. His transition from
superstar Olympian to world-class businessman began with his lifelong
passion for creating art. He spent some time in college taking art dasses.
But It was not until 1995, when Beamon entened his artwork into the
Biennial Art Festival in Europe and won that he started to take himself
seriously as an artist. It was this recognition that gave him the confidence
to take his artwork out into the world.
In 1996, Beamon transferred his original artwork from canvas to silk and launched a line
of designer neckties under his own label - The Bob Beemon Collection. Starting with just eight
designs, Beamon chose to test the ties' selling potential in two of the toughest fashion markets In
the nation - "The Village" In New Yorl< City and South Beach, Florida. The ties took off and
Beamon was particularly exdted to See how well the ties sold in NYC. These early successes in the
