PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of , 1988. ATTEST: CITY CLERK READ AND APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY ATTORNEY 5 APPROVED l.ZW(e) Mayor Porter noted the problem with sidewalks apprears to be that trees have large roots which are cracking the sidewalks. He would like to know if the replace- ment is permanent solution. Mr. Christie explained part of the problem is home- owners who may plant trees too close to the sidewalks and the roots from those trees are cracking the sidewalks. Mayor Porter asked for information with regard to the City's position of liability of someone falls on a sidewalk which is damaged, even if the tree was plantedby the individual homeowner, City Attorney Dellagloria stated the City is liabel for the City sidewalks regardless of who planted a tree that might damage them. Commissioner McCann took exception to whether or not the City is liabel for damages to the sidewalks or any other City property damaged by items planted by the property owner if that property owner has been put on notice that such damages are occuring. The property in question is the City right -of -way and. the City would have to give permission to plant trees on that land. Also, there are provisions for the property owner to share in the cost of sidewalk repair or replacement even though the City has not been enforcing that provision in the past. City Attorney Dellagloria stated it is possible for the City to have an assessment program so that the property owner would be partically responsible for costs. Mayor Porter stated he would not support sidewalks for only a small portion of the City when the expense would be borne by all taxpayers in the City. Also, it appears that the sidewalks are giving the City a potential liability problem over which the City has no control. Commissioner Launcelott said she had walked on the sidewalks on S.W. 59th Place_ and also in the Bird Road area during her recent campaign. They are very badly in need of repair /replacement. Although there does not seem,to be such a thing as a permanent repair or replacement, she would be in support of keeping the sidewalks in the area which they are now placed. Commissioner Brown expressed concern on the amount of money being spent to replace sidelwaks in only two areas of the City when the downtown area is where a number of accidents have been occuring. Mr. Christie explained that the City's own public works departmebt is able to do the necessary repairs downtown because they are done a section at a time rather than an overall replacement program. Vice -Mayor Schwait said the sidewalks are in very bad need of repair and while he would support the use of sod in some areas which do not have sidewalks at the present time, it is the sidewalks that develop interaction of the neighborhood. It is his opinion the sidewalks are in a very dangerous condition and after four years of discussion it is time for the Commission to take action. T R RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE ACTING CITY MANAGER TO REQUEST PROPOSALS FOR A STUDY ADDRESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THE CITY'S TAX BASE IN REGARD TO THE PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

Removal of window planters Applicant: Office Condo Assoc. Address: 7701 -7751 SW 62 Ave. Represented by: Kay Adams The board reviewed and discussed the drawings presented by the Applicant. Mr. Hochstim asked the Applicant if the planters could be replaced instead of removed. The Applicant replied that the problem with the planters is ` that the roof water runoff goes into the planter which causes rotting. He said that the owners of the building want the planters removed and the siding placed on the building in the same position that the planters now occupy. He said that there is metal and fiberglass in the planters, at present; they have put drains in the planters and the planters still rot. Mr. Hochstim suggested that the bottom of the planter be left open with a mesh inset, so that the water drains through. Mr. Saez asked if there is a gutter on the building. The Applicant replied no. Mr. Saez said removal of the planters will change the whole appearance of the building. Ms. Wilson suggested the Applicant put gutters on the building. The Applicant said that he went over some of this with the owners of the building, and their problem was the cost to repair and rebuild the planters. Mr. Hochstim said that he would like to retain the planters, as the removal of the planters would definitely change the appearance of the building. The Applicant said that the change to the building would not be visible from the street. Mr. Saez said that he disagreed with the Applicant. Chairman Prentiss said that he agreed with Mr. Hochstim, and the removal of the planters would change the spirit of the building. MOTION: Jan Hochstim moved for denial based on the fact that removal of the planters would change the character of the building. Diego Saez seconded the Motion. Mr. Hochstim suggested altering the way of mounting the planter boxes so that there would be positive drainage. Mr. Saez said that instead of making the planters out of metal, which rots wood, they must be flashed. Chairman Johnson said that the owners of the building must realize that the character of this building should not be changed. Vote: Approve Denial: 4 Oppose: 0 RESOLUTION NO.
