Dear Mayor Snyder:
In accordance with your instructions of March 4th, I met
with Mr. Robert Sacciente, President Apache Marine on March 10th.
We toured the area of 187 to 188 streets from 31st to 32nd
Avenue consisting 99% of boat manufacturers, and recommend the
following.
The entire area is in need of: Lighting - Code Enforcment _
Police Coverage and Landscaping.
Code enforcment can help remove the blight of abandoned cars,
boats destroyed by fire, boats collecting water that results in a
large collection of mosquites, overgrown grass etc.
Police coverage due to break-ins at night and robberies of boat
parts.
We further recommend O'Leary Landscaping prepare a rendering for
\he area. Mr. Sacciente said the greatest majority of the
~ufactureres would be willing to pay for the upgrading.
.~ conclusion, we are pleased to report during the 2 hours I spent
~ea, I saw our Aventura Police cars drive by several times.
