A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE
VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA, REQUESTING
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY TO MAINTAIN THE PRESENT
ENTRANCES AT CRANDON PARK, AND NOT TO
INSTITUTE ANY ADDITIONAL SOUTH ENTRANCE;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Village of Key Biscayne, Florida, has learned that Miami -Dade County
is considering creating and opening a third entrance at the far south end of Crandon Park (the
"Park"), which would be the Park entrance which is closest to the Village of Key Biscayne; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council finds that opening of a third Park entrance in close
proximity to the Village of Key Biscayne would adversely impact traffic conditions closest to the
Village; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council finds that given the substantial length of the Park, it is not
logical to institute a Park entrance which is further to the south than the existing entrances; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council requests that Miami -Dade County maintain the existing
Park entrances in their present location and not open an additional entrance situated in close
proximity to the Village; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council requests that Miami -Dade County utilize the Park entrance
which is the furthest to the north on those days in which the County finds that it is not necessary to
use both of the existing two (2) Park entrances.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL
OF THE VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals Adopted. That each of the above stated recitals are hereby adopted
and confirmed.
Section 2. County Action Requested. That the Village Council respectfully requests
that Miami -Dade County not open a southern entrance to the Park, and that instead the County
maintain the existing locations of the Park entrances. Further, the Village Council respectfully
requests that on those days that the County determines it is not necessary to provide two (2) Park
entrances, that the northern most existing Park entrance be utilized for Park visitors.
Section 3. Implementation. That the Village Manager is hereby authorized to take any
and all action which is necessary to implement the purposes of this Resolution.
Section 4. Effective Date. That this Resolution shall be effective immediately upon
adoption hereof.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of May, 2006.
