he reminded the Commission that each of them should make an
appointment to the committee.
Mr. Goldstein also informed the Commission that mediation
with former City Manager Balogun is scheduled for November 30,
2009. He said that the City Manager will be accompanying him for
the mediation.
Mr. Goldstein also informed that Mr. Balogun's lawyer, Mr.
Flaxman has filed a public records lawsuit, served on the City on
November 12, trying to obtain certain records which he believes
were not turned over; he discussed the matter with the City Clerk
and feels comfortable that the records were turned over. He added
that under Mr. Feingold's contract they cover all those
litigation services as part of their monthly fee so that they do
not need to worry about any fees getting out of control.
At this time Commissioner Palmer referred to a major concern
regarding the City Attorneys. She then referred to a Miami Herald
article of two Sundays ago reporting about a lawsuit from Mr.
Balogun against the City regarding phone records. She regretted
the fact that she had to learn about the lawsuit from the Herald
before the attorneys informed her. She said that this behavior
from the attorneys is unacceptable.
Mr. Goldstein said that he would not know that a lawsuit is
filed until the City is served. In this case, the City was served
on the 12th which was a Thursday; he was in Minnesota until Sunday
and that as soon as the City was served the City Clerk circulated
that complaint to the Mayor and Commission. He pledged to
Commissioner Palmer to keep her updated when lawsuits are filed.
With some further comments, the

Moved by Mayor Feliu, seconded by Vice Mayor Beasley t'o
approve this item.
Mayor Feliu said that this is a housekeeping item which is
done with every election cycle in order to inform the County
about our next election.
At this time the public hearing was opened and closed with
no speakers.
Mr. Carlton explained that the ordinance calls for a one -day
of early voting which will cost approximately $2,000 and one day
seems sufficient so that we adhere to what has been budgeted.
Mr. Goldstein then recommended amending the ordinance to
include early voting for Saturday, February 6, 2010.
Moved by Mayor Feliu to amend the ordinance to include early
voting for Saturday, February 6, 2010. Seconded by Vice Mayor
Beasley the motion passed as amended by a 5 -0 vote:

14 Moved by Commissioner Palmer, seconded by Vice Mayor Beasley
15 to approve this item.
16
17 Mr. Youkilis presented this item for a special use approval
18 to run a general restaurant at the Valencia building. The
19 restaurant will occupy Unit 102 at the ground floor. The unit is
20 800 square feet and the required parking spaces for the
21 restaurant will be 8 spaces. The required parking as set aside in
22 2001 for the commercial uses in the building is 26 spaces. The
23 three existing businesses have a parking requirement of 12
24 spaces. There is sufficient dedicated parking remaining to
25 accommodate the proposed cafe /restaurant. The Planning Board at
26 its meeting of October 27, 2009 adopted a unanimous motion
27 recommending approval of the restaurant. Staff also recommends
28 approval with the standard condition that if determined by the
29 Director of Planning to be adversely affecting the health or
30 safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity the
31 approval may be revoked.
32
33 At this time speakers were sworn in and the public hearing
34 was opened.
35
36 Sharon McCain expressed certain concern about parking
37 availability. She said that she knows two people that own condos
38 in there as investment and who have said that parking is a
39 problem. She said that she visits the post office almost every
40 day and each time the parking lot is completely full. She said
41 that recently she went there, the parking lot was full and when
42 she went in there was no line. She then met with the branch
43 manager who believes that there has been a parking problem since
44 the Valencia building has been there. She also said that the
45 branch manager was not aware of tonight's meeting and that he had
46 not received any notice regarding the meeting. She said that
47 nowhere in the backup of this item there is information about the
48 current establishments' tenants and where their designated

parking is in the garage. After some additional comments she said
to be against this request.
Janet Launcelott said that the lack of parking for delivery
trucks is also a problem. She said that she has seen medical
buses parked on a sidewalk and that we will have a lot of broken
sidewalks around the City at some point.
Applicant Anthony Nevis said that he has been a resident of
the Valencia building for the past four years. He said that he
has an issue with the word "restaurant" because the intention he
and his wife have always had is having a neighboring cafe. He
said that their intention is having a walk -up cafe. He said that
staff made it very clear about parking and that it is all in the
plan.
Commissioner Newman said that she wanted to make absolutely
sure that the parking does not intrude into the adjacent parking
lot, and that the delivery trucks are not parked on 70'h street;
she added that the applicant needs to be aware that if this does
present a problem this Commission can revoke this agreement.
With no further speakers the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Youkilis at this time explained that they just
distributed among the Commission an up -to -date survey conducted
by staff to make sure that parking spaces are appropriate and
that are there.
Commissioner Sellars said that

exception was granted in 2001, were there any provisions stating
that those 33 visitor spaces needed to remain for the commercial
uses.
Mr. Youkilis explained that they were able to convince the
Commission at the time that a lot of the business for those
stores would come from the building.
With some further comments, the motion to approve this item
passed by a 5 -0 vote:

29 Mr. Vageline presented this item requesting a special use
30 approval to operate a new general restaurant at the above
31 location. The restaurant will occupy 1,600 sq. ft. and the
32 required parking spaces for the restaurant will be 16 parking
33 spaces, less 5 spaces credited for the existing retail use. The
34 applicant has selected the option of executing a long -term lease
35 to use surplus parking spaces at another location at the South
36 Miami parking garage. The Planning Board at its meeting of April
37 28, 2009 and again on May 26, 2009 recommended approval. Staff
38 also recommended approval.
39
40 At this time the speakers were sworn in and the public
41 hearing was opened.
42
43 Sharon McCain said that this application seems to be in
44 conflict with item no. 12, an ordinance on the agenda saying that
45 we are not going to have any more leases (now item no. 16 under
46 "Unfinished Business "). She said that leases should be long term,
47 5 -10 years and this one is for 24 months. She said that the

parking garage is now becoming a place to stack cars and that we
don't know how many leases Mr. Richman has in there.
Mr. Vageline said for clarification that the two items are
linked in the way that they both address leasing of parking
spaces to account for required parking. It has been the
observation of both the Planning Board and the Planning
Department that the continuing of leases in the City's parking
garage will somehow max out. He said that this applicant had
applied and was approved back in May, and that this might be the
last one to get a lease of this nature.
Jose Pasarielo, representing the applicant addressed the
Commission saying that they do have the required parking spaces
and a five -year lease for parking.
Commissioner Palmer said that what she has seen through the
years is a lot of restaurants and that she would like to see a
balance of mixed use.
Mayor Feliu said that obviously the ideal thing would be
having mixed use but in reality the market is what dictates.
Commissioner Newman said that a trolley was submitted with
the EAR and trolley signs are posted throughout the City;
reviving the trolley might be a way to solve some of the problems
for people who don't want to walk downtown and to get them there
by a good working route that will bring people to the downtown
area, and she mentioned Coral Gables which has a successful
trolley system. She then asked staff to look into the trolley
issue.
Commissioner Palmer said that we did have a trolley at one
time, she rode it many times but it used to go around empty;
maybe if we bring it back we should look at the route.
Mr. Carlton said that he will look into the trolley
situation.
Moved by Mayor Feliu to amend the resolution to change the
term of the lease from two years to five years. Seconded by
Commissioner Palmer the motion passed by a 5 -0 vote:

24
25 Principal Planner Lourdes Cabrera presented this item. This
26 is a request for the installation of two wall signs on a
27 designated historic site at the above address. Since it is a
28 historic site, final approval by the City Commission is required
29 for the proposed installation. One of the signs will be placed on
30 the north wall, facing Sunset Drive; the second sign will be
31 placed on the east wall of the building, facing SW 59'h Avenue.
32 The two proposed flat signs comply with the guidelines of the
33 Land Development Code. The Historic Preservation Board at its
34 October 26, 2009 meeting approved the signs by a vote of 4 ayes
35 and 1 nay with the condition that the overall length of each sign
36 be reduced to 130" in length and that the height be reduced
37 proportionately. Staff also recommended approval subject to the
38 conditions recommended by the Historic Preservation Board.
39
40 At this time the public hearing was opened and closed with no
41 speakers.
42
43 Commissioner Newman said that she could not support this
44 because this is the gateway of our City; there was a discussion
45 among the Board about the color and it was suggested that the
46 color be dark blue to blend in with the building. She pointed out
47 that there were three Board members when this vote was taken, she
48 added, and that she can't support the color or the design of the
