Throughout the process, Bal Harbour Village officials worked closely with the owners of Bal Harbour Shops, Whitman Family Development, to minimize the project’s impact on residents, guests and Village operations. The development agreement includes numerous public benefits to the Village and residents, including a new municipal building and a contribution to a new bayfront park. The value of the public benefits package negotiated by the Village administration is estimated to be worth almost $125 million (see story on Page 3). “This was a very important decision,” said Mayor Gabriel Groisman. “What is good for the Shops is also good for the Village. We will work to insure the development agreement is implemented correctly.” 2 BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE MAY - JUNE 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE B H VILLAGE COUNCIL DAVID ALBAUM COUNCILMAN District 4dalbaum@balharbourfl.gov PATRICIA COHEN COUNCILWOMAN District 3pcohen@balharbourfl.gov GABRIEL GROISMAN MAYOR District 5mayor@balharbourfl.gov JEFFREY P.

The expansion of the world-famous 52-year-old luxury mall will include the addition of up to 350,000 square feet of retail space, additional parking spaces, a public plaza and a new third floor. The new construc- tion will be on land already owned by the Bal Harbour Shops. The positive impact on the Village from the BHS expansion includes new and enhanced Village municipal facilities, increased public-owned space, additional open green space, enhanced Village aesthetics and an improved pedestrian experience. Through the addition of land and public spaces, the improvements to infrastructure and new rents, taxes and fees, the Village can anticipate an estimated total direct economic benefit of almost $125 million in the coming years. The major legacy benefits include a new Village municipal facility with an underground park- ing structure, the transfer of the SunTrust site to the Village, infrastructure and beautification improvements estimated at $9.75 million and the design and contribution of $3.5 million for a Village waterfront park on Bal Bay Drive. Additional benefits to the Village include a contribution of $1 million to an Art in Public Places fund to be administered by the Village, the use of the Collins Plaza for up to six special events per year and a parking surcharge estimtated at $600,000 to $700,000 per year from the expanded BHS parking facility. This surcharge will fund a Multi-Modal Mobility Fund for the Village’s parking, transit and mobility-related initiatives. The Village has worked closely with BHS to manage and minimize disruptions during the construction period. A permanent 20’ tall buffer wall will be designed and constructed by BHS along Park Drive. The wall will be landscaped and screened to minimize noise, construction- related issues and ensure privacy to residents. During the construction period, the Bal Harbour Shops will contribute a minimum of $880,000 per year to the Bal Harbour Resort Tax. The Shops will pay off-duty officers to be posted at all construction entrances and exits and will continue to contribute the cost for 4,500 additional off-duty police hours annually to provide enhanced security and safety in the Shops. Looking towards the future, the Village has negotiated conditions to insure the development agreement is followed after construction is completed. These include a “look-back” provision, requiring the Shops to report at one year and three years after the completion of the project. The reports must show that BHS has mitigated traffic, parking, noise, loading or public safety issues connected with the expansion. There is also a provision that if a majority interest in BHS is sold, a percentage of the sale price will be paid to the Village as a transfer fee. Finally, Bal Harbour Village can look forward to increased revenues from property tax, resort tax and business tax receipts generated by the expansion. Please visit our website for additional information on the Bal Harbour Shops expansion. 4 BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE MAY - JUNE 2017 BEFORE A STORM APPROACHES Hurricane season officially runs June 1 to November 30, and as such, Bal Harbour Village residents should be prepared. Now is the time to make a plan for you and your family. If you are going to be away during the hurricane season, insure you have arrangements in place to secure your home. Purchasing supplies once a storm is threatening is expensive and strenuous. Planning and shopping now eliminates stress and avoids long lines and empty shelves. For additional hurricane preparedness and information go to www.miamidade.gov/oem. IMPORTANT DETAILS PETS: In addition to food, make sure pets (cats/dogs) have proper identification tags and properly working pet carriers and leashes. SHELTERS: Keep maps and numbers of your nearest shelter listed in case of emergency evacuations (If you have pets call ahead to locate shelters that allow pets). PHOTOS: Take pictures of your property before and after the storm for insurance purposes. LANDSCAPE Pruning trees and shrubs before a hurricane can reduce the debris that may become airborne. Proper pruning also increases the likelihood that a tree can weather a storm. Consult or hire a certified, licensed arborist prior to tree pruning. Landscapers hired to maintain residential and commercial properties must remove all vegetation. Do not begin pruning or cleanup activities or place trash on the curb during a Hurricane Watch/Warning. IF A STORM IS IMMINENT Protect the areas of your home where wind can enter. Secure windows and doors, preferably with permanent County-approved storm shutters or storm panels. Tape does not prevent window damage. Bring in lawn furniture, garbage cans, bins and other items that are not secured and could become airborne. If you own a boat, use double lines at the marina. If it is trailered and cannot be garaged, stake it to the ground with rope and fill the hull with water. Monitor the storm’s progress regularly. Visit www.miamidade.gov or call 311 for updates on services. Depending on conditions, bus, rail, garbage and recycling services, as well as airport and seaport operations could be affected. Fully charge portable items, such as cell phone, tools and hand-held devices. Make sure your car’s gas tank is full and withdraw cash that may be needed after a storm. If an evacuation order is given, you must leave the area and move to a location outside the evacuation zone. Make sure you take your local identification, so you can return after the storm. Turn off your electricity at the main breaker. Unplug appliances. FLOODING Bal Harbour Village is a coastal community. Storm surge and flooding is possible during a hurricane. Do not walk or drive near areas of standing water, there could be dangerous debris and uneven depths that will cause injuries. FoodSet aside several days worth of canned and packaged non-perishable foods as well as items that require minimal preparation Water Store enough water for drinking, bathing, cooking for all family members and pets Health & First Aid Storage Protect important documents in zip locked bags such as: birth certificates, social security cards, insurance documents, etc. Cleaning & Supplies Disposable eating utensils, mosquito repellent, gloves, liquid soap Tools Flashlights, batteries, pliers, hammers, goggles, dust mask, screwdrivers, etc. Generator and Fuel Battery Operated Radio/Phone Special Items Spare eye glasses, diapers, wipes 2017 HURRICANE SEASON PREPARATION STOCK UP ON YOUR HURRICANE SUPPLIES NOW, INCLUDING: BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE MAY - JUNE 2017 INSERT Bal Harbour Village residents, staff and elected officials are saddened by the recent passing of Stanley Whitman, the renown developer of the Bal Harbour Shops. Stanley Finch Whitman died peacefully of natural causes at his Miami Shores home on May 24, 2017, shortly after learning that his plans to expand and improve his Bal Harbour Shops were finally approved. He was 98. Born in Evanston, Illinois on November 15, 1918, four days after the end of World War I, Whitman spent the vast majority of his long and extraordinary life on the greater Miami Beaches. He grew up a member of a pioneering Miami Beach family along with his brothers, Bill and Dudley, in a single-family home on the ocean at 32nd Street and Collins Avenue, where the Faena Hotel stands today. As a young boy, he attended Ida M. Fisher Elementary and his birthday parties typically featured rides on Miami Beach Developer Carl Fisher’s famous elephant, Rosie. He graduated in 1936 from Miami Beach High. Whitman attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, where he was the president of his fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. At Duke, he would meet the love of his life, New Jersey native Dottie Stivers. Their first meeting resulted in a 66-year love affair, a strong and enduring family and a wonderful life. Following his graduation from Duke and with World War II in full swing, Whitman immediate- ly joined the U.S. Navy’s officer STANLEY F. WHITMAN 1918-2017 training school, where he graduated as an Ensign. As a Naval officer, he would eventually command a fleet of submarine chasers off of the Atlantic seaboard and would also become a revered Naval instructor. He was honorably dis- charged in 1945 as a Lieutenant Commander. During his time in the Navy, Whitman and Dottie married and they gave birth to their two children, son Randy (1943) and daughter Gwen (1947). Whitman believed strongly in the enduring importance of families and his wife and his children meant the world to him. He was a fierce competitor in all things and carried his dogged determination with him both into the office and the tennis court. He never gave up. A life-long weight lifter and exercise enthusiast, Whitman made up in strength and in heart the athletic finesse that his wife may have better exemplified. But this made them a formidable doubles team. In 1946, Whitman became one of the original 25 incorporators of what would become Bal Harbour Village. He had returned from the war and was armed with both the knowledge he gained helping his family lease its retail real estate holdings on Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road and the seed money from buying and selling large swaths of oceanfront prop- erty up and down Miami-Dade’s coastline. He partnered with Bal Harbour’s developer, Robert Graham, to build the business district in the fledgling, one- square mile town. By 1965, he was fully in control of the Bal Harbour business district property, having In the early 1960s, Stanley Whitman stands before a photo of the vacant land that will soon become Bal Harbour Shops.Continued on the following page – I N M E M O R I A M BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE MAY - JUNE 2017INSERT bought out Graham’s half-interest. Whitman presided over the opening of Bal Harbour Shops and for the next 51 years he focused on continuously improving the iconic facility. Few besides his wife and mother believed in Whitman’s un- swerving vision and most dismissed him as crazy. But Whitman’s Bal Harbour Shops was a success from the moment it opened. It was the first shopping center to focus exclusively on high end fashion stores. It boasted both the first Neiman Marcus location outside of Texas and the first full line specialty department store in Florida. It was the first shopping center to feature both Nei- man Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and was the first shopping center to be planned – from the outset – for both vertical and horizontal expansion. Among a myriad of other firsts, it was also the first shopping center to break $1,000 per square foot in sales productivity (and then, some years later, the first to break $2,000 per square foot) and remains today, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, the world’s number one shopping center in sales per square foot. It was Whitman’s obstinate persistence and steadfast faith in himself and his dream that made it all happen. Although his accomplishments as a businessman and devel- oper are many, he considered his commitment to community paramount. He was privileged to serve as Chairman of the Dade Water & Sewer Authority, Chairman of the South Florida Highway Users Federation, Chairman and Founding Member of the Village of Bal Harbour Resort Tax Committee, and Original Organizer and Paul Harris Fellow of the Bal Harbour Rotary Club. He was an Independent Director at SunBank (the predeces- sor entity to SunTrust), an Elder at Miami Shores Presbyterian Church and a Trustee Emeritus at Miami Country Day School. In STANLEY F. WHITMAN 1918-2017 addition to these institutions, to which he gave generously, he was also proud to support innumerable local charities, includ- ing the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis and the University of Miami’s Miller School’s Project: New Born. For his contributions to his community, both Miami-Dade County and the Village of Bal Harbour recognized “Stanley F. Whitman Day” in separate proclamations in 1998 and 2015, respectively, the Urban Land Institute presented him with its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013, and the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce bestowed upon him in 2016 its Leonard A. “Doc” Baker Lifetime Achieve- ment Award. As a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great- grandfather, patriarch, “sire,” friend, pioneer, veteran, civic leader, and the visionary real estate developer, Stanley Whitman lived a wonderful life.
