inclusion of a security deposit, for which he would be recommending a $2,000 security
deposit.
Councilman Sklar thanked Assistant Mayor Salver for suggesting a deposit saying that it
was a good idea. He said that he had walked the beach a said that he did not think the
beach would look overcrowded with beach huts on each property, regardless of the size
of the beach front. He said that he would be in favor of one beach hut per property as long
as they were spaced 200 feet apart and met the design standards.
Assistant Mayor Salver said that he liked the idea that Councilman Sklar had presented. He
asked Mr. Gonzalez if there was a plan for the placement of chairs and storage boxes, to

CHAPTER 5, "ANIMALS," SECTION 5-5, "DOGS IN PARKS, ON BEACHES;

ORDINANCES TO ALLOW DOGS ON THE JOGGING PATH OF VILLAGE
BEACHES WEST OF THE SAND DUNES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY,
INCLUSION IN THE CODE, CONFLICTS, AND FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Groisman announce that he had received a petition of signatures from Brian
Mulheren with dozens of residents opposed to this ordinance, which he said had totally
changed his mind.
Mr. Gonzalez introduced the item stating that at the last meeting, allowing dogs to be
walked on the jogging path had been considered to relieve congestion resulting from the
increased activity on the jogging path. He said that he had received an email from Raj
Singh expressing opposition and the copies of the petition had been provided to the
Council.
Councilman Sklar acknowledged the efforts of Mr. Mulheren and said that this would be
the first step in easing some of the congestion on the hard pack, and that this is an issue of
public safety, considering that the Jetty project is coming online.
Assistant Mayor Salver said that he had been swayed by the petitions, but the golden
standard should be that pedestrians should be able to walk on the path getting a breeze,
Bal Harbour Village Council Regular Meeting Minutes — March 16, 2021 Page 1 5
in comfort and safety, with things like bicycles and dogs being secondary. He said that
there should be a beach path visioning, by Council discussion or public workshop.
Councilman Freimark said that he had spoken with Mr. Mulheren and members of the
community and that he found the safety argument to be more compelling to keep the dogs
off the path, adding that existing ordinances should be enforced. He said that he would
not be supportive of this ordinance.
Councilman Albaum said that he had worked on the petition with Mr. Mulheren and that
he would not be supportive of the ordinance. He reiterated his support for having a (traffic)
study conducted for the beach path.
Councilman Sklar pointed out that most municipalities separate vehicular and pedestrian
traffic which was more important that the issue of dogs.
Mayor Groisman said that removing bicycle traffic would create a greater problem in that
that the beach path is safer than Collins Avenue. He said that it would be an improper use
of the police to be out enforcing bicycles and dog walkers. He suggest exploring a public
path through the sea grapes.
Councilman Sklar suggested exploring the widening of the jogging path that would
alleviate fear of dogs walking on the same path.
Councilman Freimark agreed that an engineering study should be considered, to which
Mr. Gonzalez responded that with money and engineering anything could be done,
adding that it would not be an inexpensive project.
Lauren Koplowitz (177 Bal Cross Drive) suggested that a bike path could be delineated on
the hard pack to separate bicycle traffic. She said that Haulover already has a dog park and
a dog beach. She said people and trees come first, dogs second.
Penny Sepler (10275 Collins Avenue) said that the larger path should be for everyone,
adding that a bike lane would be more beneficial. She agreed that police officers should
utilized for enforcement and agreed that a public workshop would be the way to proceed.
Brian Mulheren (10245 Collins Avenue) said that Surfside only allows dogs on its hard pack.
He said that safety is a primary concern.
Mayor Groisman asked the Mr. Gonzalez if there were some type of engineer that could
provide guidance to which Mr. Gonzalez said that the Village could engage a traffic
engineer, that would spend money and time in getting a baseline, or the Village could
reimagine the area as a new capital project.
Mayor Groisman recommended exploring landscaping options to make a space where
people could walk safely.
Bal Harbour Village Council Regular Meeting Minutes — March 16, 2021 Page 16
Councilman Sklar said that he was surprised that there was as much opposition as there
was since most people do not use the walking path.
Mr. Gonzalez said that he would really like to get the Council's objectives and the purposes
for any modifications or redesigns in moving forward. He added that it would be important
to get a baseline.
Councilman Sklar said that his end goal would be to separate pedestrian from vehicular
traffic'
Councilman Freimark said that given that the beach path is one of the Village's most
important assets, it would be important to provide the public the opportunity for input in
a workshop setting.
Lauren Koplowitz (177 Bal Cross Drive) suggested delineating a bike path on the hard
pack. She said there is already a dog park and dog beach at Haulover saying that people
and trees come first, dogs second.
Penny Sepler (10275 Collins Avenue) said that the hard pack should be for everyone's
enjoyment. She also suggested delineating a bike lane. She agreed that the policemen
should not be out on the path enforcing regulations. She agreed that having a public
workshop would be important.
Brian Mulheren (10245 Collins Avenue) said that surfside does not allow dogs on their
walking path. He said that when it comes to safety, people come first. He said that some
supervision is necessary.
There was a general discussion regarding whether or not the beach path improvements
should be minor improvements in traffic flow or a complete redesign to enhance projects
at the Jetty and 96th Street. Mr. Gonzalez suggested bringing the discussion to the Council
Retreat where he can bring ideas for different options and costs.
