R9E Discussion Regarding Architectural Review Board Submittal for
Landscaping at 200 Bal Bay Drive (Marina)
Mr. Gonzalez introduced the item, and stated that this item was included in the interest to
inform the Council on things happening throughout the Village. He explained that this
application had been received by the Building Department from Flamingo Way Enterprises
requesting approval to install a five foot hedge in the perimeter of the marina. Recognizing
the importance of that property and understanding the impact of this property on the
community as a whole, the item was brought forth in order for the Council to weigh in on any
actions the Council would like to.

Mr. Weiss explained that this item was in front of the Council to react to something that is
happening in the community.
Councilman Groisman spoke, and asked that this item be removed from the Architectural
Review Board agenda for March 6, 2015, as the Village Code requires this approval to be
made at the Council level. Councilman Groisman stated that he does not believe Flamingo
Way Enterprises has the standing to make this request, as it is a for -profit entity, and the
marina is in the private club district, and is not to be run as a business or a commercial
facility. The Village Manager and the Village Attorney need to look into this, and determine if
it is legal and appropriate to have this application come before the Council. Even it is
determined that it is legal and appropriate, the Village Code requires that 40% greenspace at
this property.
A motion was offered by Councilman Groisman and seconded by Mayor Packer for the
Village Attorney and Village Manager to conduct a full analysis of the legality of the
operation at the Marina. If it is deemed not to be legal, then it should be brought back
to the Council and the Village should initiate actions, such as code enforcement and
prohibiting the use of the Marina as a for -profit operation. If it is deemed to be legal,
then the application should be brought to the Council for action, not the Architectural
Review Board.
Mr. Cortinas spoke on behalf of Flamingo Way Enterprises.

agreement entered into by the Village in 2013. When the developers came to the Village for
a capacity letter from the Village, he reviewed the development's impact on the Village's
infrastructure. After much negotiation, he was able to identify a Phase 1 as part of the
Masterplan, which will address the development's impact on the system, as well as from a
timing perspective, ensured that it could be completed in time for their certificate of
occupancy. Through the negotiation, Mr. Gonzalez was able to secure additional funds in the
amount of $950,000 from the developer. These funds were outside of the original
development agreement, and are their proportional share of the project, based on the impact
of their development to the Village's sewer system. In addition, the Village was able to
extract an additional concession, which will provide the Village with a beach renourishment
project without utilizing the sand excavated from their site. The sand for this project will be
purchased and tested to ensure safety. Mr. Gonzalez thanked Mr. Weiss and his office for
their assistance.
A motion was offered by Mayor Packer and second Salver to approve the resolution.
