SUBJECT:
Request of Aventura Mall for a Sign Variance to permit Off-Premise Wall
Signs on the parking garage adjacent to the Bloomingdale's building.
(01-SV-97B)
October 21,1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item 3 .8
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the requested Sign Variance be denied on the basis that it does
not meet the criteria for the granting of variances found in the City's Sign Ordinance.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Aventura Mall Venture, is requesting a Sign Variance to permit two (2)
Off-Premise Wall Signs to be located on the East and Southeast walls of the parking
garage adjacent to Bloomingdale's. The City's Sign Ordinance prohibits Off-Premise
Signs. (See Exhibit #1 for application.)
BACKGROUND
OWNER OF PROPERTY
Aventura Mall Venture
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY
19501 Biscayne Boulevard (see Exhibit #2 for
Location Map)
lEGAL DESCRIPTION
Tract Q, Aventura 6th Addition as recorded in
Plat Book 120 Page 20 of the Public Records
of Dade County
Zoning - The subject property and the properties to the north and south are zoned
BU-2, Special Business District. The properties to the east are zoned BU-2, Special
Business District and GU, Interim District.
Existing land Use - The subject property is the Aventura Mall. The property to
the north is office and retail uses as is the property to the south. The property to the
west is the FEC Railroad right-of-way. The properties to the east are the Turnberry
County Club and associated uses.
Future land Use - The subject property and the properties to the north and south are
currently designated Business and Office according to the Adopted 2000 and 2010
Land Use Plan for Metro-Dade County, Florida. The properties to the east are
designated Parks and Recreation and Medium High Density Residential.
The Site - The subject site is located at the northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard
and the William Lehman Causeway.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The request is inconsistent with
the Dade County Comprehensive Master Plan. Policy 80 of the Land Use Element
states that Dade County shall continue to investigate, maintain and enhance methods,
standards and regulatory approaches which facilitate sound, compatible mixing of uses
in projects and communities.
Community Development Department Analysis -
The applicant is requesting a Sign Variance to install Off-Premise signs on the parking
garage situated immediately east of Bloomingdale's. The requested signs are as
follows:
Elevation letter Size Sign Perimeter
(including borders and framing)
Off-Premise Wall Sign East 100 sq. ft. Approx. 300 sq. ft.
Off-Premise Wall Sign Southeast 100 sq. ft. Approx. 300 sq. ft.
Although the size of the lettering for the signs is 100 sq. ft., the signage envelope in
which the signs are placed is approximately 300 sq. ft., making the size of the sign
appear much larger. The City's Sign Ordinance defines Sign Area as the "square foot
area enclosed by the perimeter of the Sign Structure, including borders and framing".
2
The arched fayade and columns surrounding the lettering act as borders and framing
for the Bloomingdale's signs. Therefore, staff believes that the effective sign area for
these signs is actually 300 square feet.
Criteria
The criteria for approval of sign variances as required by the City of Aventura Sign
Ordinance (No. 97-17) require:
The sign variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of the regulations,
particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the City and provided that
the Variance will be otherwise compatible with the surrounding land uses and
would not be detrimental to the community. No showing of unnecessary
hardship is required.
The requested sign variance for Off-Premise signs does not maintain the basic intent
and purpose of the regulations. The City Council has previously determined that Off-
Premise signs adversely affect the appearance of the community. Such Off-Premise
signs, especially at 300 sq. ft., are no different from Billboard Signs which average
between 300 to 600 sq. ft.
The Off-Premise signs would be incompatible with the surrounding land uses. The
signs face a Residentially zoned property (currently vacant) and would be visible from
other existing Residential areas to the east. West Country Club Drive is used primarily
by Aventura residents who do not need to be reminded of the location of the designated
parking garage for Bloomingdale's.
Adequate signage for Bloomingdale's either presently exists, or will exist, via internal
directional signage in conjunction with the presently installed wall signs.
Staff recommends denial of the requested Sign Variance on the premise that it does not
meet the criteria for variances found in the Sign Ordinance.
Citizen Comments
The Community Development Department has not received any written citizen
comments.

LETTER OF INTENT TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL SIGNAGE FOR THE
BLOOMINGDALE'S DEPARTMENT STORE BUILDING;
(SIGNAGE VARIANCEAPPLlCATION PETITION #1)
Bloomingdales Department Store requests a variance to the City of A ventura Signage Ordinance to install
the following signage on the parking garage situated immediately east of its building:
. One (I) wall sign,IOOsq. ft. in area on the Southeast elevation of the parking garage and identifying
the Bloomingdales building to vehicular traffic approaching Bloomingdales primarily from the
Southeast.
. One (I) wall signlOO sq. ft. in area on the East elevation of the parking garage (at the North corner)
and identifying the Bloomingdales building to vehicular traffic approaching Bloomingdales primarily
from the Northeast.
Bloomingdales intends to illustrate:
. Signage on the parking garage is necessary to identify the Bloomingdale's store from the East.
, The Sign Ordinance allows Bloomingdale's the provision to install up to 500 sq. ft.
of wall signage on the East building elevation. Bloomingdale's proposes to eliminate the East
elevation sign in exchange for being granted the approval to install the equivalent building
identification on the parking garage wall.
. The parking garage, by virtue of its physical connection to and prominence in front of the
Bloomingdale's building, may be considered a direct extension of the building. There is no other way
of perceiving the Bloomingdale's building from the East other than by the presence of the proposed
parking deck signage.
. A great majority of Bloomingdale's customers will enter the store by way of the parking deck. By
introducing signage on the East elevation of the parking garage, the Bloomingdale's customer will be
provided clear and reliable means of entering the parking deck which will also work to improve the
efficiency by which store customers and other shopping center patrons exit the mall ring road and
enter the garage.
. The proposed identification signs are intended primarily to take advantage of the maximum amount of
building identification to which Bloomingdale's would otherwise be entitled. The signs are not
intended to provide the store additional means of advertising. Bloomingdale's believes that the
immediate contiguity and proximity of the parking garage to its store demonstrate an "on premises"
condition.
. The total combined signage area for all exterior wall signs proposed by Bloomingdales (including the
sign age proposed forthe parking garage) is 3"' sq. ft. or6 0 % less than the sign age otherwise allowed
by the Ordinance.
. Because of the enormity of the parking garage the Bloomingdales building is visually blocked from all
approaches Southeast to Northeast of the building. For this reason two signs are necessary to
adequately identify the building to traffic approaching from these locations. From each of these
approaches only one of the two signs proposed will be visible at one time.

DATE: October 14,1997
SUBJECT: Request of Aventura Mall for a Sign Variance to permit additional Wall
Signs on the Bloomingdale's building. (01-SV-97A)
October 21,1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item..3..:i3
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the sign variance for an additional wall sign be granted on the
basis that it meets the criteria for variances found in the City's Sign Ordinance. As a
condition of the approval, Bloomingdale's shall not be permitted to increase the size of
any of the Wall Signs identified in this application.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Aventura Mall Venture, is requesting a Sign Variance for Bloomingdale's
to permit two (2) entrance wall signs (53 sq. ft. and 67 sq. ft.) in place of one (1) of the
three 500 sq. ft. Wall Signs allowed by the Sign Code. The City's Sign Ordinance
permits a major tenant to have three (3) wall signs of 500 sq. ft. (one sign for each
exterior wall). (See Exhibit #1 for application.)
BACKGROUND
OWNER OF PROPERTY
Aventura Mall Venture
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY
19501 Biscayne Boulevard (see Exhibit #2 for
Location Map)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Tract Q, Aventura 6th Addition as recorded in
Plat Book 120 Page 20 of the Public Records
of Dade County
Zoning - The subject property and the properties to the north and south are zoned
BU-2, Special Business District. The properties to the east are zoned BU-2, Special
Business District and GU, Interim District.
Existing Land Use - The subject property is the Aventura Mall. The property to
the north is office and retail uses as is the property to the south. The property to the
west is the FEC Railroad right-of-way. The properties to the east are the Turnberry
County Club and associated uses.
Future Land Use - The subject property and the properties to the north and south are
currently designated Business and Office according to the Adopted 2000 and 2010
Land Use Plan for Metro-Dade County, Florida. The properties to the east are
designated Parks and Recreation and Medium High Density Residential.
The Site - The subject site is located at the northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard
and the William Lehman Causeway.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The request is not inconsistent
with the Dade County Comprehensive Master Plan.
Community Development Department Analysis -
The City's Sign Ordinance allows major tenants located in a Regional Mall to have one
(1) Wall Sign for each exterior wall. Bloomingdale's is permitted to have the following
exterior Wall Signs:
Wall Signs Permitted by Sign Code
Elevation Number of Wall Signs Sign Area
East 1 500 sq. ft.
West 1 500 sq. ft.
South 1 500 sq. ft.
1500 sq. ft. Total Sign Area
The City has issued sign permits for Bloomingdale's, consistent with the City's Sign
Ordinance, for three (3) of the allowable Wall Signs. These signs are to be located on
the upper right hand corner of the East, West and South elevations. At 227 sq. ft. each,
the signs are less than half the size allowed (500 sq. ft.) by the City's Sign Ordinance.
2
The applicant wishes to, in essence, exchange the third Wall Sign, permitted for the
East Elevation, for two smaller wall signs to be located on the West and South
Elevations, in addition to the approved Wall Signs for these elevations. These two
signs would be located immediately next to the West and South Bloomingdale's
entrances for the purpose of identifying these entrances to pedestrian and parking lot
traffic. The requested signs are 53 sq. ft. and 67 sq. ft. The table below shows the total
exterior sign area proposed for Bloomingdale's.
Proposed Wall Signs for Bloomingdales
Elevation Number of Wall Signs Sign Area
East 0 o sq. ft.
West 2 227 sq. ft. (permitted)
53 sq. ft. (proposed additional)
South 2 227 sq. ft. (permitted)
67 sq. ft. (proposed additional)
694 sq. ft. Total Sign Area
Criteria
The criteria for approval of sign variances as required by the City of Aventura Sign
Ordinance (No. 97-17) require:
The sign variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of the regulations,
particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the City and provided that
the Variance will be otherwise compatible with the surrounding land uses and
would not be detrimental to the community. No showing of unnecessary
hardship is required.
The requested variance to permit two smaller entrance signs in place of the third wall
sign would not adversely affect the appearance of the City. The requested wall signs
are much smaller, at 53 sq. ft. and 67 sq. ft., and would be less conspicuous than the
permissible 500 sq. ft. sign. The signs would not be incompatible with the surrounding
land uses - the south elevation entrance sign is barely visible from the Lehman
Causeway and the west elevation entrance sign is only visible from the Mall parking lot.
Citizen Comments
The Community Development Department has not received any written citizen
comments.
3
CONDITIONS
It is recommended that the request for the sign variance be granted subject to the
following conditions:
1. The permitted Wall Signs of 227 sq. ft. on the West and South elevations not be
increased in size.
2. A Wall sign of no greater than 67 sq. ft. be allowed on the South elevation.
3. An additional Wall Sign of no greater than 53 sq. ft. be allowed on the West

LETTER OF INTENT TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL S/GNAGE FOR THE
BLOOMINGDALE'S DEPARTMENT STORE BUILDING:
rSIGNAGE VARIANCE APPLICATION PETITION#2J
Bloomingdale's Department Store requests a variance to the City of Aventura Signage Ordinance to install
the following signage on its premises:
. On the West elevation of the building, and in addition to the building wall sign permitted and situated
at the upper right hand corner of the building (227 sq. ft. in area), a small pedestrian sign situated upon
the canopy immediately preceding the building's west entrance (53 sq. ft. in area) and identifying
same.
. On the South elevation of the building, and in addition to the building wall sign permitted and situated
at the upper right hand corner of the building (227 sq. ft. in area), a smaller pedestrian wall sign
situated immediately West (or left) of the building's South entrance (67 sq. ft. in area) and identifying
same.
Bloomingdale's intends to illustrate:
. The large wall sign at the upper right hand corner of both the South and West elevation is intended to
identify the building to vehicular traffic approaching along the surrounding roadways but does not
successfully identify the South and West entrances to the pedestrian. The requested small signs
immediately next to each entrance intend to clearly identify the store's entrances to the public and
distinguish each from other entrances. Bloomingdale's feels it is important to provide reliable
entrance identification to avoid the tendency for its customers to wander the parking lots in search of
an entrance to the store.
. The total area of the two signs on the West elevation sum to 280 sq. ft. The signage area allowed by
the Ordinance for wall signs is 500 sq. ft. Bloomingdale's proposed West elevation signage, in total, is
220 sq. ft. or 44% less than the signage otherwise allowed by the Ordinance.
. The total area of the two signs on the South elevation sum to 294 sq. ft. The signage area allowed by
the Ordinance for wall signs is 500 sq. ft. Bloomingdale's proposed West elevation signage, in total, is
206 sq. ft. or 41 % less than the signage otherwise allowed by the Ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM:
of Community Development ~
BY:
Jaye M. Epstein, A
DATE: October 14,1997
SUBJECT: Aventura Shops, Inc. Request for Multi-Tenant Center Sign Graphics
approval for facade signage. 01-MTC-97
October 21, 1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item _/) C
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the request with conditions.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Aventura Shops, Inc., is requesting approval for Multi-Tenant Center
Sign Graphics for facade signage.
BACKGROUND
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY: Aventura Shops
3001 - 3025 Aventura Boulevard
EXISTING ZONING: BU-2, Special Business District
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION: Business and Office
ANALYSIS
Community Development Department Analysis - The Community Development
Department is supportive of this application.
Ordinance No. 97-17 (Sign Code), Section 9. Supplemental reQulations reads as
follows:
a) Multi-tenant Center Sign graphics criteria.
The Owner of a Multi-tenant, or their authorized representative, may choose to comply
with the standards for Nonresidential District Signs or alternatively, apply for approval
as a Multi-tenant Center as described below.
1) The owner of a Multi-tenant Center shall submit to the City Manager a written
statement of the uniform Sign graphics criteria for the Multi-tenant Center
(the "Criteria"). The City Manager shall review the Criteria, make a
recommendation and submit the Criteria, along with the recommendation to
the City Council, for final approval. Once the Criteria have been approved,
they shall apply to the entire Multi-tenant Center, as well as to each
individual occupant, and shall remain in effect for so long as the Multi-tenant
Center exists, regardless of a change in ownership or management, unless
and until the owner obtains approval to amend the Criteria from the City
Council. The Criteria for each Multi-tenant Center shall include, but not be
limited to, color(s), type of Signs, style of letters, size of letters (maximum or
minimum) and size of Signs.
2) An application to erect any Sign for any portion of a Multi-tenant Center shall
include and comply with the Criteria established for the Multi-tenant Center, a
sketch of the proposed Sign and the written consent of the owner of the
Multi-tenant Center for the proposed Sign.
The applicant proposes the following: (See Exhibit #1)
1) Approval: Landlord's approval shall be required of Tenant's design, materials and
the location on the fa9ade.
Analysis: This approval is required at this time only in the form of an owner of the
properly signature on the sign permit application. Therefore, Landlord's approval
exceeds Code requirements.
2) Copy: All copy must be limited to the trade name or type of business.
Analysis: Same as Sign Code.
2
3) Size: Letter height shall not exceed 26" except for Walgreens. The height of
Walgreens sign over their entrance shall not exceed 82" and on the portion of their
store facing Aventura Boulevard shall not exceed 45".
Analysis: The Sign Code regulates the maximum height of letters only by way of
maximum square footage allowed. The applicant's proposal further regulates the
size of the letters beyond what the Sign Code allows.
The total length of the sign shall not exceed 95% of the width of the Tenant's
exterior fac;:ade. The maximum projection of the sign from the face of the sign
fac;:ade shall be six (6) inches. The area of a sign shall not exceed:
For 20' frontage store
For corner store (Andalusia location - 48 front feet)
For Walgreens (front - 129 front feet)
For Walgreens (side - 50 front feet)
For Northern Trust Bank (64 front feet)
42 SF
60 SF
260 SF
80 SF
60 SF
Analysis: The proposed (and existing) measurements are larger than those
conditions presently allowed by the Sign Code (1 sq. ft. for each lineal ft. of Tenant
Frontage). However, those signs presently existing are within the applicant's
proposed maximum measurements and are aesthetically acceptable.
4) Location: Signs shall be surface mounted and must be located appropriately in
relation to the entrance to Tenant's store space. Walgreens shall be permitted to
maintain a second sign on the portion of their store facing Aventura Boulevard.
Analysis: Same as Sign Code.
5) Sign Material/Colors: To be individual channel letters with opaque metal sides in
bronze color with matte finish acrylic plastic faces, internally illuminated by neon.
The exterior faces of the signs shall be red except that the color of the Northern
Trust Bank sign shall be bronze.
Analysis: This requirement exceeds what is required by the Sign Code as no limits
to color are specified in the Code.
6) General Specifications:
A. No exposed raceways, crossovers, wiring or conduits will be
permitted.
B. All cabinets, conductors, transformers and other equipment shall be
concealed. Visible fasteners will not be permitted.
3
C. Electrical service to all signs shall be connected to Tenant's electric
meter by Tenant.
D. No animated components, flashing lights, bare bulbs, painted, wood,
plastic or box/cabinet signs will be permitted.
Analysis: These items are generally the same as what is presently required upon
Sign permit approval. However, Item C should be rewritten to read "Electrical
service to all signs shall be connected to meter by licensed Electrical Contractor and
shall be the responsibility of the Tenant."
7) Prior to Installation: Tenant shall submit a minimum of two (2) sets of shop
drawings, showing all details, mounting position of sign and a sample of the sign
materials to:
(Landlord)
Analysis: This requirement exceeds what is required as the Code does not specify
that Tenant submit signage details to the (Landlord). Further, this item is a
continuance of requirements of Item #1 above.
8) All signs must comply with sign criteria indicated herein. All signs must also comply
with City of Aventura, Florida Ordinance No. 97-17. Tenant shall be responsible for
obtaining permits for signs prior to their installation from:
(City of Aventura)
9) Tenant must receive written approval for any sign from Aventura Shops, Inc. prior to
erection and fabrication. Any sign installed without approval will be removed at
Tenant's expense.
Analysis: This requirement exceeds what is required as the Code does not specify
that Tenant receives written approval from the (Landlord).
10)AII signs shall be constructed and installed by a qualified sign company at Tenant's
expense.
Analysis: Same as Sign Code.
4
The following information may be helpful:
Sign Area allowed Existing Applicant
Tenant Under Sign Code Conditions proposes:
(Approx.)
Vacant Store 20 SF maximum No sign 42 SF maximum
Omaha Steaks 20 SF maximum 40 SF 42 SF maximum
Lisa Todd 40 SF maximum 38 SF 42 SF maximum
(double store front) (2 signs at 42 SF
maximum if
occupied by 2
different tenants)
Andalusia Bake Shop 48 SF maximum 80 SF 60 SF maximum

(front)
Walgreens 64 SF maximum 78 SF 80 SF maximum
(side)
Northern Trust Bank 64 SF maximum 40 SF 60 SF maximum
There are nine (9) existing Wall (fa~ade) signs. Of those 9, four (4) signs are smaller
than the maximum allowed by the Sign Code.
Upon Council approval of Ordinance No. 97-17, guidelines were established that
provided for existing channel letter signs that are not more than twice the square
footage allowed, to remain until June 3, 2002. All of these signs fall within this
category. Approval of this request will allow for these, and any new Wall signage at
this location to still generally fall within those guidelines.

2nd Reading November 4, 1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item _
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Budget Amendment
Ordinance in the amount of $2,500,000 for the 1997/98 fiscal year. The amendment is
required to reappropriate capital projects not completed in the 1996/97 fiscal year and
establish a line item budget for the N.E. 213th Street Stormwater Collector System
currently under construction.
BACKGROUND
The attached Budget Amendment was prepared to reappropriate the following
uncompleted capital projects and amounts from the 1996/97 budget:
1. Aventura Boulevard / Northern Entrance Beautification Project -
$1,600,00. Bid is scheduled to be awarded at October 21, 1997 meeting.
2. Safety Improvements - William Lehman Causeway - $250,000. Until final
action is taken by FDOT to construct the curb barrier this project should
be reauthorized as a backup.
3. Bus Shelters / Benches - $50,265. This is the amount unspent from the
prior fiscal year and will be utilized to expedite the replacement of bus
shelters and benches.
As you are aware, in order to expedite the construction of the Northern Stormwater
Collector System and at a substantial saving, the City entered into an agreement with
Aventura Lakes, Aventura Commons and Gulfstream to construct drainage
improvements from N.E. 30th Avenue and N.E. 213th Street. The attached budget
amendment establishes a budget line item of $1,150,000 in the Stormwater Utility Fund.
An advance from the General Fund will be utilized to fund the amount. It will be repaid
to the General Fund once the Stormwater Utility Fund has accumulated the appropriate
amounts.
The amendment is funded from the following sources:
1. An increase in the carry over amount by $2,500,000. This is comprised of
$1,860,265 from unspent capital projects and $639,735 from higher than
anticipated carry over amounts from the prior fiscal year.
2. The $639,735 and the $510,265 transfer from the Reserve Fund combine
to fund the Storm water Utility Project.

TO: City Council
DATE: October 15,1997
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Quick Taking Proceedings to Acquire Site for
Government Center, Police Station and Cultural Center
October 21,1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item L
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing
alternative eminent domain, Le" "quick take" proceedings to acquire Parcel P for the
Government Center.
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum serves as a summary and review to the Council of (1) this Project's
purpose and chronology; (2) the documentation and presentations the Council
considered in determining the Project's scope and design and (3) the Council's analysis
of alternative sites, safety concerns, environmental concerns, costs of the Project, and
long-range planning. The following information is submitted for consideration by the
Council in approving the Resolution of Necessity for property acquisition associated
with the above-referenced Project. The Council has previously determined the
necessity of the property for a public purpose.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this Project is to provide a Government Center for the City of Aventura.
In August of 1996, the City began the process to review potential sites for a
Government Center, Police Station, Cultural Center and park,
At the August 19, 1996 Council Workshop meeting, four sites were discussed as
follows:
Location
Size
. Winn Dixie
. Gampel
. Dumfoundling Bay, Ltd,
. Binnings
5.62 acres
4.32 acres
3.85 acres
8 acres
A consensus was reached that the City Manager proceed with negotiations to purchase
the Winn Dixie site for a park and to conduct further research 0'1 other potential sites
including appraisals. The City eventually purchased the Winn Dixie site and closed on
the sale in December of 1996,
At the September 4, 1996 Council Meeting, the Council authorized the City Manager to
proceed with the purchase of the Gampel property. The site was to be utilized for a
Government Center facility. In September of 1996, Michael Landa approached the City
regarding the 3.4 acre site located at the S.W. corner of East Country Club Drive and
Lehman Causeway (Parcel Pl. At the October 14, 1996 Council Workshop Meeting, an
update was provided to the Council that narrowed the property selection for the
Government Center as follows:
Site
Askinq Price
. Gampel
. Parcel P
. Dumfoundling Bay, Ltd.
$6,400,000
$3,200,000
$3,150,000
The City Manager was authorized to pursue the Gampel site and if negotiations failed,
offer $2,900,000 for the Parcel P site. The Dumfoundling Bay, Ltd. site was no longer
considered for the Government Center but as a backup for the Police Station. On
October 17, 1996, Harry Gampel rejected the City's offer to purchase the Gampel site
for $3,500,000. The City decided not to pursue this site due to the cost. On October
21, 1996, based on failed negotiations on the Gampel site and the acquisition of the
park site, a letter of intent was entered into for the Parcel P site for $2,900,000 to be
utilized as a Government Center. On November 5, 1996, the City Council approved a
Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Contract for Purchase and Sale
of Real Property for Parcel P subject to final review by the City Attorney.
On December 2, 1996, the City Manager was authorized by City Council to issue an
RFP to obtain professional services to prepare a "Facility Needs Assessment" for City
facilities, including the Government Center, Police Station and Cultural Center to
determine square footage and property requirements.
At the January 6, 1997 Council Workshop Meeting, the City Manager was directed to
further investigate two other sites to be used for government facilities as follows:
. Huber Tract
. Binnings
Subsequently, a disagreement between the property owner and the role of the broker
for Parcel P caused the City and property owner to be unable to come to terms on a
purchase price. At the March 13, 1997 Council Workshop Meeting, the Council
directed the City Manager to review and move forward with condemnation proceedings
due to failed negotiations. At the April 10, 1997 Council Workshop Meeting, it was the
consensus of the Council to proceed with eminent domain proceedings for acquisition
of Parcel P. The property owner indicated that the condemnation would be friendly,
amicable, and they would settle shortly.
The City made a finding of public purpose and necessity of acquisition of the site which
included alternate sites, safety factors, environmental factors, costs and long-range
planning. Some of the factors included the following:
1. The anticipated cost of this property was more in line with existing
property values than the alternative sites.
2. The location of the site would allow the City to create a City Center
concept for its residents and fits the future planning needs of the City for
staffing and services. Also, the City Center concept would include utilizing
the park site across the street.
3. The site has dual access; Country Club Drive and N.E. 1915t Street and a
cross access for parking with the Concorde Center.
4. The site can provide overflow parking for the park site.
5. The site is centrally located with safe, easy access to all areas of the City.
6. The property is vacant, has no jurisdictional wetlands and has little
environmental issues as compared to other sites.
At the May 6, 1997 City Council Meeting, the Council adopted a Resolution declaring
the acquisition of Parcel P to be a public purpose and for the filing of eminent domain
proceedings. The proceedings were filed utilizing routine eminent domain proceedings
in which title and possession of the property would not be acquired by the City until a
final judgment was entered by the court. The City Attorney has diligently pursued the
litigation and has attempted in good faith to settle the condemnation proceedings.
The "Facility Needs Assessment" study concluded that Parcel P could be utilized to
accommodate and to construct the Government Center, Police Station and Cultural
Facility, and that the entire parcel was required, In order to ensure that the property is
acquired in a timely fashion and to avoid protracted litigation with regard to acquiring
title, it is recommended that the City pursue a "quick take" condemnation action. The
"slow take" process could be more costly and time consuming. In light of the fact that
the site is required and necessary to construct the Government Center, Police Station
and Cultural Center, the "quick take" method is more appropriate. As a caveat, utilizing
this legal process will require the City to acquire the property for the amount ultimately
determined by a jury and entered as a final judgment, including the attorneys' fees and
costs of the property owner,
