1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,740
Good morning, everyone.

2
00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:06,600
Welcome to our August Council Meeting.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Today is Wednesday, August 12.

4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,680
The time is now 10:07 AM.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,160
And I hereby call this meeting to order.

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,662
Remember to please silence your phones.

7
00:00:16,662 --> 00:00:18,120
If you must take a call, we ask you

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,400
to kindly step outside so that we can maintain

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,400
a respectful atmosphere.

10
00:00:23,963 --> 00:00:25,380
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

11
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:27,280
Councilwoman Nicole Reinoso?

12
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:27,993
Present.

13
00:00:27,993 --> 00:00:29,160
Councilwoman Maureen Porras?

14
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Here.

15
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,740
Councilman Rafael Pineyro?

16
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:31,800
Present.

17
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Vice-Mayor Digna Cabral?

18
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Present.

19
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,119
Mayor Christi Fraga?

20
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:33,520
Present.

21
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,478
Mayor, you have quorum.

22
00:00:34,478 --> 00:00:36,380
Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance,

23
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,520
led by Councilwoman Reinoso.

24
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,720
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,

25
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,600
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,

26
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,260
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

27
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,560
Before we continue, I'd like to ask you all

28
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,540
to join me in a moment of silence

29
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:04,120
as we remember some from our team that we have recently lost.

30
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,600
We honor the life of Officer Edwin--

31
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,140
Erwin Fernandez and thank him for his service

32
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:13,720
and his family for service and dedication to our community.

33
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,420
We also remember our City of Doral Public Works

34
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:19,680
employee, Carlos Cuba, who has passed away in July.

35
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,180
Carlos was a valued member of our city family.

36
00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:26,220
And our thoughts remain with him and his loved ones

37
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:28,220
and all his colleagues.

38
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:31,300
Likely, I would like to ask for solidarity

39
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,460
as we stand with the people of Colombia,

40
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:35,740
as they mourn the lives of those who were lost

41
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:37,660
in the devastating earthquake.

42
00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:40,260
Our hearts are with the victims and families

43
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:43,840
and all those affected during this incredibly difficult time.

44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Please join me in a moment of silence.

45
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:11,210
Thank you.

46
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:15,530
We now have our invocation, led by Pastor Ricky from Dios con

47
00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:16,490
Nosotros.

48
00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:18,490
Pastor?

49
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:27,250
Before I start, I'll start to read a Bible

50
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:29,650
verses in Jeremiah 29, verse 7.

51
00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:33,170
Says, "Seek peace of the city.

52
00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:36,830
And pray to the Lord for peace.

53
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:41,410
We will have overcome and will come to the city

54
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,690
that you live in.

55
00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:45,500
Seek for peace.

56
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:49,690
Pray for the Lord and peace that surpasses all understanding."

57
00:02:49,690 --> 00:02:51,690
In obedience to the word, I gather today

58
00:02:51,690 --> 00:02:56,110
and give thanks to God for every moment that he gives us.

59
00:02:56,110 --> 00:03:00,590
We come unto you, O, Lord, as one nation under God.

60
00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:04,190
We come unto you, Father, asking and thanking you

61
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:07,230
for the privilege that we woke up today,

62
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:11,510
that we're able to breathe, that we're able to stand,

63
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:13,470
that we're able to come here today.

64
00:03:13,470 --> 00:03:17,230
I pray that you bless our mayor, city councils,

65
00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:21,670
and every decision they may hold with integrity.

66
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:25,310
And above all, Lord, the missed city, this community,

67
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:28,647
may receive the blessing for their needs,

68
00:03:28,647 --> 00:03:30,230
for what they're about to do, for what

69
00:03:30,230 --> 00:03:31,570
they're about to establish.

70
00:03:31,570 --> 00:03:34,490
Today, you remind us how fragile we are.

71
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:37,210
We pray for the people in Venezuela.

72
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:39,130
We pray for the people in Colombia.

73
00:03:39,130 --> 00:03:42,900
We pray for the people in the United States of America.

74
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:44,190
You know what is happening.

75
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:47,950
They were waking up this morning with a different atmosphere

76
00:03:47,950 --> 00:03:51,450
as what happened two days ago.

77
00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:53,490
Anywhere, anything can happen.

78
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:58,200
You hold in the palm of your hand the whole Earth.

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520
And today, we're reminded how fragile we can be.

80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,120
We thank you that this is the land of the free.

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,700
But over there, they're experimenting a very difficult

82
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:09,180
situation.

83
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:11,940
May I ask everybody here to please stand

84
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:16,140
for a moment and pray with me.

85
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:20,180
We pray for those, Lord, that lost family members.

86
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:25,600
We pray for those, Lord, that lost everything they had.

87
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,120
But you still, in your amazing love,

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,140
you spared a lot of lives, Lord.

89
00:04:32,140 --> 00:04:35,340
We pray for those in Venezuela who lost

90
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:38,340
not only what they lost, but they lost even more

91
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:40,380
when they lost family members.

92
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:42,900
Today, we're reminded how important it

93
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:46,600
is to keep our family together.

94
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,420
Also, we pray for the people in Colombia

95
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:52,200
and for every aid to reach the right places.

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400
We are here, Father, privileged and also

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,400
honored to come together as one body, one family.

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,520
We thank you for the opportunity to pray here together.

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,220
And we come as one.

100
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:09,520
Thank you, as the city has allowed us to come here

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,960
and come together to pray.

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120
If everybody can please say these words with me.

103
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,560
Dear God--

104
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Dear God--

105
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,400
--have mercy.

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:19,700
--have mercy.

107
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:20,840
Bless those--

108
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:21,650
Bless those--

109
00:05:21,650 --> 00:05:22,360
--in need.

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,720
--in need.

111
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,220
Provide for them.

112
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:26,000
Provide for them.

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Give them peace.

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,600
Give them peace.

115
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,335
In your name we pray, Lord.

116
00:05:30,335 --> 00:05:31,460
In your name we pray, Lord.

117
00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:32,240
Amen.

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Amen.

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,260
Thank you.

120
00:05:34,260 --> 00:05:36,260
Thank you.

121
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Thank you, Pastor, for those beautiful words.

122
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,000
We will now move into our Agenda/Order of Business

123
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,400
and go ahead and start with our City Manager's office.

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,660
Mayor, we don't have anything.

125
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:50,220
Thank you.

126
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:50,720
Thank you.

127
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,420
Mr. City Attorney?

128
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:56,580
Madam Manager, I'd like to defer item 6B.

129
00:05:56,580 --> 00:05:58,420
6B, as in boy?

130
00:05:58,420 --> 00:06:01,420
6B as in boy, yes.

131
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:02,580
OK.

132
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:03,900
Anything else?

133
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,900
That's all.

134
00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:12,700
OK.

135
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:13,712
Councilman Pineyro?

136
00:06:13,712 --> 00:06:14,920
I don't have anything, Mayor.

137
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,740
Thank you.

138
00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:17,100
Vice-Mayor Cabral?

139
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,200
None.

140
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,460
Councilwoman Reinoso?

141
00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:21,600
No, Mayor, nothing.

142
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,100
OK.

143
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:23,280
Councilwoman Porras?

144
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,280
None.

145
00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:26,640
Madam City Clerk?

146
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,740
None.

147
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:29,740
All right.

148
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:31,600
So we'll go ahead and defer that.

149
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,700
All right, well, we'll now move into the public comments

150
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:37,540
section of our meeting.

151
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:39,620
Each speaker will have three minutes

152
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:41,780
to address any item on today's agenda

153
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:44,980
or any other matters related to the City of Doral.

154
00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:46,420
Please begin by stating your name

155
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:50,130
and address for the record to ensure that you are registered

156
00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:51,868
with the City Clerk's office.

157
00:06:51,868 --> 00:06:54,410
We will first hear from those who are preregistered, followed

158
00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:56,530
by any walk-in speakers.

159
00:06:56,530 --> 00:06:59,370
Once all have spoken, I will ask if any final speakers

160
00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:03,490
would like to use the reasonable opportunity time to speak.

161
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:06,630
As a reminder, in accordance with the city code of conduct,

162
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:09,750
we ask that all remarks be made in a respectful, courteous,

163
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:11,100
and orderly manner.

164
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:15,900
Personal attacks, offensive language, or disruptive behavior

165
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:17,110
will not be permitted.

166
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:18,930
Let's work together to keep this forum

167
00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:21,670
productive and constructive for all.

168
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:27,670
And I'll go ahead and start with Mr. Richard Glukstad.

169
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:50,110
Excuse me.

170
00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:53,110
Richard Glukstad, 4768 Northwest 114th Avenue.

171
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:56,330
All right.

172
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:59,710
Today, I brought two visual aids--

173
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:03,310
my brown belt and a jacket.

174
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,510
And you say, why did you bring a belt and a jacket?

175
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:08,930
So I'm going to explain.

176
00:08:08,930 --> 00:08:11,990
First of all, this brown belt represents to me

177
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:14,810
my Uncle Manfred from Germany.

178
00:08:14,810 --> 00:08:18,210
He was a prisoner of war of the French because he was German.

179
00:08:18,210 --> 00:08:19,950
They didn't care that he was Jewish.

180
00:08:19,950 --> 00:08:24,230
They still kept him as a prisoner of war.

181
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:26,310
He was a very religious Jew.

182
00:08:26,310 --> 00:08:27,502
He went to Cuba first.

183
00:08:27,502 --> 00:08:29,210
And then from there, he went to New York.

184
00:08:29,210 --> 00:08:30,750
He lived in the Bronx.

185
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:33,429
He went to temple every Saturday.

186
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:37,210
And money, for him, was no object.

187
00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:39,100
He didn't really care about it.

188
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,429
And one day, I stayed--

189
00:08:41,429 --> 00:08:43,300
I was in his house.

190
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:45,300
And I was spending the week there.

191
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:48,300
And I brought two belts with me.

192
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:52,300
I always had two belts, a brown one and a black one.

193
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,260
He said, Richard, what do you need two belts for?

194
00:08:56,260 --> 00:09:01,500
He said, you really only need one belt to hold up your pants.

195
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:04,740
Why spend money on another belt?

196
00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:09,340
Well, this was his philosophy because showing off and having

197
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:11,200
money meant absolutely nothing to him.

198
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,520
He probably just died with one belt. Whereas his brother,

199
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,740
my father, he was all into what other people thought about him--

200
00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:20,740
to make money, be a success.

201
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:23,140
He became a multimillionaire.

202
00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:25,600
But you know what?

203
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,800
They both wound up in the same place--

204
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,560
6 feet under.

205
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,160
And they lived about the same time.

206
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,560
So I don't think--

207
00:09:34,885 --> 00:09:36,260
actually, he was probably happier

208
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:38,640
when he died than my father.

209
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,960
So I just wanted to show you that the quest for money

210
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,200
doesn't really bring happiness.

211
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,100
The second thing to talk about has to do with money, too.

212
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,440
It's about the Vietnam War.

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:56,400
I was in the Army in ROTC for three years, from 1967 and 1970.

214
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,360
And I was getting ready to go to Vietnam as an infantry officer.

215
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,700
So we were basically brainwashed.

216
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:06,100
We have to go over there, fight communism,

217
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,980
because if we don't fight communism,

218
00:10:07,980 --> 00:10:11,180
it's going to spread all over the place, yada, yada, yada.

219
00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:12,420
Well, they extended the war.

220
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:13,460
They extended it.

221
00:10:13,460 --> 00:10:14,300
We were losing.

222
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:18,500
But they would never admit that we were losing the war.

223
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:20,820
And they kept sending more and more people to die.

224
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:22,820
55,000 Americans died there.

225
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,280
But yet, I bought a jacket from the Gap.

226
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,680
It's made in Vietnam.

227
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,520
So today, we have diplomatic relations with Vietnam.

228
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,420
We have factories over there.

229
00:10:36,420 --> 00:10:39,420
We do business with them, as usual.

230
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:41,970
And Americans go there on vacation all the time.

231
00:10:41,970 --> 00:10:44,150
It's a real big vacation spot.

232
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:45,970
So why did we do this?

233
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:48,700
Well, the answer was money.

234
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,210
People can make money from wars.

235
00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:54,300
If you support people who support wars,

236
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:55,370
don't support them anymore.

237
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:59,500
There's very few wars that are just wars.

238
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:01,425
And a war has to be a just war, according to the Catholic

239
00:11:01,425 --> 00:11:03,258
Church, anyway, for you to even participate.

240
00:11:03,258 --> 00:11:04,790
Thank you, Mr. Glukstad.

241
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:06,170
I know my time is over.

242
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:09,700
But please, think about it.

243
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,970
Don't support wars, only if it's a just war.

244
00:11:12,970 --> 00:11:13,470
Thank you.

245
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:16,130
And don't look at money as your goal in life,

246
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:19,570
because it'll probably make you less happy than somebody

247
00:11:19,570 --> 00:11:21,650
like-- even like my Uncle Manfred.

248
00:11:21,650 --> 00:11:23,500
Thank you, Mr. Glukstad.

249
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:23,810
You're welcome.

250
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:24,950
Thank you.

251
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:25,530
All right.

252
00:11:25,530 --> 00:11:28,530
I next have Maurizio Bettoli.

253
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:39,130
Hi.

254
00:11:39,130 --> 00:11:41,500
Yes, I'm here to talk about Agenda Item 9A,

255
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,500
Vending Machine Services.

256
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:44,910
I don't like to waste anybody's time.

257
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:48,730
So we sent a letter from an attorney for you all to review.

258
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:50,890
I hope that you read it.

259
00:11:50,890 --> 00:11:52,730
The items in there, I want to echo.

260
00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:55,230
If you have any questions or clarifications of those issues,

261
00:11:55,230 --> 00:11:56,570
I'll be sitting here.

262
00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:58,970
So when you bring the item up for a vote,

263
00:11:58,970 --> 00:12:00,250
I want to discuss it.

264
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:01,900
Thank you.

265
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:01,590
Thank you.

266
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:04,770
Just to clarify, this is the time for reasonable opportunity

267
00:12:04,770 --> 00:12:06,670
if something needs to be put on the record.

268
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:12,190
We don't normally open up public comments in discussion items.

269
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:15,190
We also have Leonardo Bettoli.

270
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:30,610
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and members of the Council.

271
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:32,650
My name is Leonardo Bettoli.

272
00:12:32,650 --> 00:12:34,890
I'm here in support of Compass Group USA

273
00:12:34,890 --> 00:12:37,290
through its Canteen division.

274
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:39,590
Again, thank you for the opportunity.

275
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:41,590
I respectfully ask the Council to select

276
00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:44,630
Canteen for the city vendings operations and management

277
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:45,790
contract.

278
00:12:45,790 --> 00:12:48,710
Canteen is ready to perform from day one.

279
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:52,790
It holds the proper business licensing for vending machines

280
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:58,430
operations in the city, county, and state, including the NAICS

281
00:12:58,430 --> 00:13:00,430
Code 4542.

282
00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:04,470
And its proposal satisfies the city solicitation's

283
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:06,470
requirements.

284
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:09,230
Canteen has also demonstrated its financial capability

285
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:12,110
by transparency by providing the city

286
00:13:12,110 --> 00:13:15,710
with the required audited financial statements.

287
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:19,950
By doing so, Canteen gave the city the financial information

288
00:13:19,950 --> 00:13:23,350
required to evaluate its strength and ability to perform

289
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:25,350
through the contract.

290
00:13:25,870 --> 00:13:28,610
Canteen is not simply a local vending operator.

291
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:30,830
It is a national operator backed by Compass Group

292
00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:33,230
USA with coast-to-coast capabilities.

293
00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:36,100
Canteen serve clients across the country and provides food

294
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,700
service solutions at more than 60,000 locations.

295
00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:42,380
That national scales give Doral access

296
00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:45,640
to established operating systems, advanced technologies,

297
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,520
substantial resources, and broad organizational support,

298
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,180
while its local team remains accountable for responsive

299
00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:54,200
day-to-day service.

300
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,220
Canteen also brings proven track record in Doral

301
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:01,400
and extensive experience serving municipalities, counties,

302
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,240
public entities, and other governmental throughout Florida.

303
00:14:05,860 --> 00:14:08,120
It understands the accountability, reporting,

304
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,420
responsiveness, and continuity of service required

305
00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:12,740
in a public-sector partnership.

306
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:15,300
Doral will also receive a mature service model supported

307
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,880
by dedicated account management, preventive maintenance,

308
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,440
real-time monitoring, extensive local staffing,

309
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920
technical support, and comprehensive reporting.

310
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,320
Canteen smart tech service--

311
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,940
Canteen Connect and smart tech platforms

312
00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:31,240
are designed to reduce downtime, improve inventory management,

313
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,920
respond quickly to service needs,

314
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,560
and provide the city with transparent oversight

315
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,240
of performance.

316
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,120
Canteen is also offering significant financial value--

317
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,920
a minimal annual guarantee of $95,000 and prepaid commissions

318
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,800
of $285,000 on day one.

319
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,360
These are concrete commitment that

320
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,000
provide the city with immediate value

321
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
and predictable annual revenue.

322
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,320
This decision is about selecting a partner with national strength

323
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320
and local accountability, proper licensing,

324
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600
proper financial capabilities, public-sector experience,

325
00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:13,440
advanced technology, and a record of dependable service.

326
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
For those reasons, I respectfully

327
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,960
ask the Council to award this contract to Canteen.

328
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,120
Thank you.

329
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,680
Thank you, Mr. Bettoli, for being here.

330
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,800
I have Alexander Recalde.

331
00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:36,330
Hello.

332
00:15:36,330 --> 00:15:38,550
My name is Alexander Recalde.

333
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:43,350
My address is 5670 Northwest 116th Avenue, Doral, Florida,

334
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:46,570
33178.

335
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,700
Good morning, Mayor, Councilmembers,

336
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:52,700
and City Administration.

337
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:53,890
My name is Alexander Recalde.

338
00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:57,430
And I'm owner of Fresh Service & Repair.

339
00:15:57,430 --> 00:16:01,470
First, I want to thank the evaluation committee

340
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:04,430
and the city manager for recommending our company

341
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:06,430
for this opportunity.

342
00:16:06,670 --> 00:16:10,390
It truly means a lot to me.

343
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:14,510
We have experience more than 15 years in the business.

344
00:16:14,510 --> 00:16:17,950
I spent more than 50 years building this company.

345
00:16:17,950 --> 00:16:22,230
And I'm very proud of what we have to build.

346
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:24,270
But what makes this opportunity special

347
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:28,110
is that Doral is also my home.

348
00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:30,150
I have lived here for many years.

349
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:33,310
I have invested in this community.

350
00:16:33,310 --> 00:16:37,330
And I'm proud to be raising my family here.

351
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,690
Having the opportunity to serve my own city

352
00:16:39,690 --> 00:16:45,930
would be an honor and something I will take very personally.

353
00:16:45,930 --> 00:16:50,130
You won't be dealing with faraway corporate office.

354
00:16:50,130 --> 00:16:53,830
You would be dealing directly with me.

355
00:16:53,830 --> 00:16:57,730
My name and my reputation are behind this company.

356
00:16:57,730 --> 00:17:01,690
And I will always make sure we provide the level of the service

357
00:17:01,690 --> 00:17:04,100
that our community deserves.

358
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:07,810
Thank you for your opportunity and your consideration.

359
00:17:07,810 --> 00:17:09,100
Thank you.

360
00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:11,410
Thank you, Mr. Recalde.

361
00:17:11,609 --> 00:17:12,109
All right.

362
00:17:12,109 --> 00:17:14,990
That is all I have for the preregistered speakers.

363
00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:16,890
If anyone else would like to speak,

364
00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:19,430

399
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:30,160

Danny Del Toro, Code Compliance Director.

403
00:18:39,780 --> 00:18:42,220
This month, we are pleased to recognize Chick-fil-A

404
00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:45,200
for their outstanding commitment to keeping Doral beautiful.

405
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,580
The property for which they are being recognized is located

406
00:18:47,580 --> 00:18:49,980
at 9815 Northwest 41st Street.

407
00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:54,660
This Chick-fil-A has been in the City of Doral for two years.

408
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:57,620
The property is approximately 65,000 total square feet.

409
00:18:57,620 --> 00:19:00,500
And the business has 70 employees.

410
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:02,620
Chick-fil-A is a nationally recognized restaurant

411
00:19:02,620 --> 00:19:06,860
known for its diverse selection of chicken-based menu offerings.

412

413
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,140
and dinner, as well as salads, treats, kids meals, and more.

414
00:19:14,140 --> 00:19:17,140
In 2023, Chick-fil-A made a significant investment

415
00:19:17,140 --> 00:19:19,220
in the city by demolishing the previous structure

416
00:19:19,220 --> 00:19:22,920
on the property and constructing the facility that exists there

417
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,480
today.

418
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,400
Since its completion, the property

419
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,840
has been maintained to a high standard

420
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,440
through daily inspections and cleaning

421
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,440
of the exterior, weekly landscape

422
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,400
inspections, and biweekly landscape maintenance services.

423
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,800
These ongoing efforts demonstrate

424
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,840
Chick-fil-A's commitment to maintaining

425
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,400
an attractive, clean, and well-kept property

426
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,400
within the city.

427
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,240
It is with great pleasure that we named Chick-fil-A

428
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,200

Yes.

455
00:21:44,290 --> 00:21:46,290
Good morning, Mayor.

456
00:21:46,450 --> 00:21:48,700
The Chief, I think, has a few words.

457
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:53,270
We're going to do a commendation for our officers.

458
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:55,610
Madam Clerk, would you like to read the record-- read the item

459
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:56,735

460
00:21:56,735 --> 00:21:58,100
Yes.

00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,100

462
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:03,100
Guerra.

463
00:22:11,410 --> 00:22:13,690
Good morning, City Manager.

464
00:22:13,690 --> 00:22:15,930
Good morning, Mayor and Council.

465
00:22:15,930 --> 00:22:16,910
Thank you all so much.

466
00:22:16,910 --> 00:22:21,870
I want to first off say that we suffered a tragedy last week.

467
00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:24,870
And we appreciate all the support

468
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:28,450
and love from the community and from your positions.

469
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:29,750
Thank you all so much.

470
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:32,470
Together, we're going to become a bigger and stronger and better

471
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:33,982
agency through this tragedy.

472
00:22:33,982 --> 00:22:39,430
So I just want to say-- give you that and give you my commitment.

473
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:42,910
Now I want to pivot to a commendation that

474
00:22:42,910 --> 00:22:44,910
was on April 17.

475
00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:48,190
I would like to ask the two officers to step up

476
00:22:48,190 --> 00:22:52,890
to the plate, Officer Adrian Ochoa and Officer Samuel Guerra.

477
00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:55,890
Can you go in front?

478
00:22:57,310 --> 00:23:00,830
So I want to paint the picture because I read this paper.

479
00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:03,590
And I told Lauren earlier this morning, I said,

480
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:05,170
the paper doesn't do it justice.

481
00:23:05,170 --> 00:23:07,430
I want you guys to actually visibly see

482
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:08,810
what these officers did.

483
00:23:08,810 --> 00:23:10,700
They saved a life.

484
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:13,700
It all occurred on April 17.

485
00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:15,920
And I'm going to give you the rundown of the call.

486
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,880
It was basically a sick or injured person.

487
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,420
And the call came out as a 41-year-old male who just

488
00:23:21,420 --> 00:23:22,240
fainted.

489
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,000
And we get those calls all the time.

490
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,220
It's a routine call.

491
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:27,720
But this call ended up not being routine.

492
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,440
That's why I want to really commend these officers.

493
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,980
And I want to show you visually what they did.

494
00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:38,530
So can you go ahead and play the video, please?

495
00:23:38,530 --> 00:23:39,526
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

496
00:23:39,526 --> 00:23:41,526

00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,200
- [INAUDIBLE], 24, starting CPR.

498
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
[INAUDIBLE]

499
00:23:51,272 --> 00:23:53,672
- Don't stop because [INAUDIBLE].

500
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:56,700
- [INAUDIBLE]

501
00:24:01,660 --> 00:24:04,440
- Someone told me that I look so [INAUDIBLE].

502
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,100
- When I said, "Starting CPR, she

503
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:11,140
raised you throughout till 20 to advise you that they were--

504
00:24:11,140 --> 00:24:11,860
- Yes.

505
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,273
All right.

506
00:24:13,273 --> 00:24:13,856
[END PLAYBACK]

507
00:24:13,856 --> 00:24:15,856
OK, that's enough.

508
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,820
So these two officers right here, they were on probation.

509
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:23,880
They were their second month as officers.

510
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,800
And they responded to this call of a fainted person, which

511
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,600
ended up being someone going through cardiac arrest.

512
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,880
He was purple to the touch.

513
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,000
And these officers, they went into action.

514
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,380
And it's very commendable about what they did.

515
00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:38,640
They didn't hesitate.

516
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,200
And their performance of CPR saved this individual's life.

517
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000
And they are a direct reflection of this police department

518
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,560
and the professionalism of this police department.

519
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,320
So with that said, a congratulations so much,

520
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,360
Officer Samuel Guerra and Officer Adrian Ochoa.

521
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,762
And Officer Adrian Ochoa, his father is Major Leo Ochoa.

522
00:24:58,762 --> 00:25:00,720
And I would love for him to come up and present

523
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,120
this award to him.

524
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:03,700
A good father-son moment.

You can give him a kiss.

530
00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:23,370
We won't tell anybody.

531
00:25:23,370 --> 00:25:26,370
We got it on camera.

532
00:25:35,150 --> 00:25:36,430
You want to go first?

00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:40,300
Yeah, I think Mayor and Council.

I want to cry.

542
00:25:57,190 --> 00:26:00,190
Pose like a beautiful man.

This is really nice.

545
00:26:11,780 --> 00:26:14,610
They gave it to him.

That's mine.

547
00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:16,130
Oh, that's yours?

548
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:16,812
Yeah.

549
00:26:16,812 --> 00:26:21,120
I'm like, wait, I didn't know that.

550
00:26:23,450 --> 00:26:26,450
Mayor, can we figure out--

551
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:29,570
Mayor, can we--

552
00:26:31,930 --> 00:26:33,450
Mayor, can we--

553
00:26:33,450 --> 00:26:34,530
[INAUDIBLE]

554
00:26:34,530 --> 00:26:35,370
Yeah.

555
00:26:35,370 --> 00:26:36,510
Let's turn to you guys.

556
00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:40,190
So take a step this way so you're centered with the seal.

557
00:26:40,190 --> 00:26:44,990
I wanted to try to get them all.

558
00:26:46,610 --> 00:26:49,810
Frank, can you come on this side?

559
00:26:49,810 --> 00:26:50,330
Perfect.

560
00:26:50,330 --> 00:26:51,690
[INAUDIBLE]

561
00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:53,370
Oh, OK.

562
00:26:53,370 --> 00:26:53,870
All right.

563
00:26:53,870 --> 00:26:56,270
Everybody, look straight ahead.

564
00:26:58,250 --> 00:26:59,910
Officers, are you showing your plaques?

565
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,827
I can't see from here.

566
00:27:00,827 --> 00:27:01,327
Yes.

567
00:27:01,327 --> 00:27:03,327
OK.

568
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:08,410
Did everybody get their photo?

569
00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:08,910
One more.

570
00:27:08,910 --> 00:27:10,910
Yes.

571
00:27:14,270 --> 00:27:15,130
Monica, you got it?

572
00:27:15,130 --> 00:27:15,630
Yes.

573
00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:17,300
Thank you.

574
00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:17,910
Thank you, Mayor.

575
00:27:17,910 --> 00:27:18,470
Thank you.

576
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:19,390
Great job.

577
00:27:19,390 --> 00:27:21,390
Great job.

578
00:27:25,790 --> 00:27:26,290
Thank you.

579
00:27:26,290 --> 00:27:27,700
Congratulations.

580
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:28,630
Thanks.

581
00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:29,250
[INAUDIBLE]

582
00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:31,270
You know how I do [INAUDIBLE].

583
00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:33,270
I know.

584
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:40,200
After you.

585
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,430
[INAUDIBLE]

586
00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:43,230
I will.

587
00:27:43,230 --> 00:27:45,630
Madam Manager-- actually, [INAUDIBLE].

588
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:53,530
OK.

589
00:27:53,530 --> 00:27:55,510
Madam Clerk, next item.

590
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:58,310
Next item is item 8C, Doral International Art Fair

591
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,310
Presentation.

592
00:28:15,370 --> 00:28:16,600
Thank you.

593
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,000
Good morning, Mayor Christi Fraga,

594
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,900
members of the City Council, City Manager,

595
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:23,440
and members of the staff of the City of Doral.

596
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,800
My name is Billy Garcia.

597
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,980
And I'm here joined by the team members of the DIAF.

598
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:32,540
It's really an honor for us to officially present

599
00:28:32,540 --> 00:28:36,460
the fourth edition of Doral International Art Fair, which--

600
00:28:36,460 --> 00:28:38,580
it will take place from November 12

601
00:28:38,580 --> 00:28:43,380
to November 15 of this year at the Doral Cultural Arts Center.

602
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:46,140
As is well known, every year, Miami-Dade

603
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:48,180
becomes one of the leading destinations

604
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:50,180
for contemporary art.

605
00:28:50,260 --> 00:28:52,820
During the arts season in South Florida,

606
00:28:52,820 --> 00:28:55,920
all the galleries, artists, business leaders,

607
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,260
media representative, and visitors from around the world

608
00:28:59,260 --> 00:29:02,500
come together, bringing economic and cultural benefits

609
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:04,000
to our community.

610
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,880
This year, DIAF will have the privilege

611
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,960
of opening the International Art Fair season

612
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,200
and positioning the City of Doral

613
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,000
as the starting point for one of South Florida

614
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,720
most relevant cultural events of the year.

615
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,800
For this fourth edition, we have already confirmed participation

616
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,960
from galleries and art organizations

617
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,160
from Houston, Ecuador, Cuba, Spain, Mexico, Colombia,

618
00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:33,540
Venezuela, and more.

619
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,280
This shows the international reach of the fair

620
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,400
and reinforce Doral's position as a city

621
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,200
that welcome art, culture, new ideas, and business

622
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,400
opportunities.

623
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,900
We are also proud to welcome the Museum of the Americas,

624
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,400
MoCAA, the Biennial of Cuenca from Ecuador,

625
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,240
and the Spanish Cultural Center of Miami.

626
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,840
We expect around 3,000 visitors to attend DIAF 2026 during that

627
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,720
weekend.

628
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,170
This level of attendance will help boost the local economy,

629
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:08,170
directly supporting hotels, restaurant, shops,

630
00:30:08,650 --> 00:30:11,870
transportation services, cultural venues, and businesses

631
00:30:11,870 --> 00:30:13,590
across the city.

632
00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:15,910
DIAF is more than an art fair.

633
00:30:15,910 --> 00:30:17,990
We believe it's also a great opportunity

634
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:20,300
to promote the City of Doral.

635
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:23,190
Through this event, Doral can be presented and showcased

636
00:30:23,190 --> 00:30:26,350
to the public, both locally and internationally,

637
00:30:26,350 --> 00:30:29,590
as a modern, diverse, business-friendly city

638
00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:31,710
in the heart of Miami-Dade.

639
00:30:31,710 --> 00:30:35,230
As we prepare for this fourth edition on September 15

640
00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:39,110
of this year, we will open an special exhibition called

641
00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:43,100
Water Trail at the Miami Dade College West Campus gallery,

642
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,670
lead and curated by Félix Suazo.

643
00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:47,350
The exhibition will be on display

644
00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:51,300
during September and October and will explore the theme of water

645
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,430
through photography and painting.

646
00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:56,750
This project reflects our ongoing support for the arts

647
00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:59,270
and our collaboration with educational and cultural

648
00:30:59,270 --> 00:31:01,100
organizations.

649
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:03,730
Each edition, DIAF gives another opportunity

650
00:31:03,730 --> 00:31:06,370
to place Doral among the major events that

651
00:31:06,370 --> 00:31:08,210
make Miami-Dade special.

652
00:31:08,210 --> 00:31:11,970
Our goal is for the city to play an active role while welcoming

653
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:14,370
visitors, supporting cultural tourism,

654
00:31:14,910 --> 00:31:17,690
creating new opportunities for local businesses,

655
00:31:17,690 --> 00:31:21,410
and celebrating the cultural richness of our community.

656
00:31:21,410 --> 00:31:24,300
Finally, we want to say thank you, Mayor Fraga.

657
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:27,790
Thank you, member of City Council, City Manager as well.

658
00:31:27,790 --> 00:31:30,170
Thank you to all the members of the staff

659
00:31:30,170 --> 00:31:32,570
of the City of Doral for your support and commitment

660
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:33,690
to this event.

661
00:31:33,690 --> 00:31:36,210
We kindly ask you for your continued partnership

662
00:31:36,210 --> 00:31:39,630
so we can keep bringing artists, galleries, media,

663
00:31:39,630 --> 00:31:42,530
visitors from around the world to visit Doral.

664
00:31:42,530 --> 00:31:46,900
We are sure that together, we can continue building Doral

665
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:49,310
as an important destination for culture, art,

666
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:51,530
and economic growth in South Florida.

667
00:31:51,530 --> 00:31:52,970
Thank you so much.

668
00:31:52,970 --> 00:31:54,500
Thank you.

669
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:56,500
Thank you very much.

670
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:58,760
I just want to congratulate you guys for the work

671
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,200
that you've done, the entire team.

672
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Every year, it's been an improvement, more visitors,

673
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,560
and exceptional artists and galleries.

674
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,760
So thank you for your commitment to the city.

675
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,820
We really value the partnership.

676
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:16,960
I think it's brought a true meaning to what the Cultural

677
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,160
Center was supposed to really be for for our community.

678
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Art and culture is definitely something

679
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,120
that we, as a community, cherish and our community

680
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,120
enjoys and value.

681
00:32:29,220 --> 00:32:33,480
And so I think that the Art Festival has really

682
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,980
brought significance to that in our community.

683
00:32:35,980 --> 00:32:40,740
And it's been recognized not just countywide but regionally.

684
00:32:40,740 --> 00:32:43,140
And that's a testament to your work, dedication,

685
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:43,987
and professionalism.

686
00:32:43,987 --> 00:32:44,820
So we appreciate it.

687
00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:47,620
And we look forward to this year's festival.

688
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:51,600
We know that it'll be a great success once again.

689
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,200
So thank you for your presentation.

690
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,752
If there's any additional comments or questions--

691
00:32:55,752 --> 00:32:56,460
I have a comment.

692
00:32:56,460 --> 00:32:56,960
Thank you.

693
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,840
Councilwoman Reinoso.

694
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,340
Hold on.

695
00:32:58,340 --> 00:32:59,280
There's a comment.

696
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,500
Yes?

697
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:02,180
DIAF, I'm really proud of all the work

698
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:03,847
that you have done throughout the years.

699
00:33:03,847 --> 00:33:09,280
I value the continued effort of making it better every year

700
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,900
and to include art that is diverse, that is unique.

701
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:16,900
And it's really adding to what the cultural diversity of Doral

702
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:21,780
is and really bringing up what-- art and the meaning of keeping

703
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:25,828
that alive and present within our community

704
00:33:25,828 --> 00:33:27,120
and the importance of doing so.

705
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,800
So I'm glad that you all have been tasked to do that.

706
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,940
It's a big responsibility because art and culture

707
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:35,560
is something that if we don't do as a city,

708
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,910
it's going to be hard for anyone else to do.

709
00:33:37,910 --> 00:33:39,160
So thank you for your efforts.

710
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,618
Thank you for the diversity that you bring to the community

711
00:33:41,618 --> 00:33:43,820
and for keeping art alive.

712
00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:44,320
Thank you.

713
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,540
I have some comments, Mayor.

714
00:33:45,540 --> 00:33:46,980
Councilwoman Porras?

715
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:48,380
I want to thank you guys.

716
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:51,340
I can't believe it's already the fourth edition.

717
00:33:51,340 --> 00:33:54,560
And since the beginning, I've always been supportive.

718
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,360
It's something that you guys have always

719
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360
done with professionalism.

720
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,942
You've given a lot of local artists, as well, opportunities.

721
00:34:02,942 --> 00:34:05,400
And to reiterate the comments that my colleagues have made,

722
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,562
you really have elevated our culture and our art,

723
00:34:08,562 --> 00:34:10,520
which is something that residents really wanted

724
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,128
to see here in our community.

725
00:34:12,128 --> 00:34:13,920
So I want to thank you for that great work.

726
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,280
And hopefully, we can continue this.

727
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,520
And wishing you a lot of great success

728
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,659
and to continue expanding and making our city proud.

729
00:34:22,659 --> 00:34:23,580
Thank you.

730
00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:24,800
Thank you.

731
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,663
Councilman Pineyro, you had a comment?

732
00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:26,600
Thank you, Mayor.

733
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,760
I also just want to say congratulations because I

734
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,960
always--

735
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,760
there has been a before and after when

736
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,940
it comes to art in Doral.

737
00:34:34,940 --> 00:34:38,580
And you guys, as a group, have accomplished that.

738
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:41,400
I always like to say this is like our mini

739
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,200
Art Basel or our Art Basel of the year.

740
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,600
So I see the excitement, the opportunities,

741
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,480
and the collaboration from a lot of the local businesses

742
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,100
and other businesses from other places as well.

743
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:59,390
So I just want to say thank you for everything

744
00:34:59,390 --> 00:35:02,830
you guys are doing as a group, because it's also your time.

745
00:35:02,830 --> 00:35:04,910
And we also have to recognize that.

746
00:35:04,910 --> 00:35:08,470
I mean, you're putting a lot of hours every year

747
00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:11,190
into this great, great event.

748
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:14,300
And it's not that you guys are getting paid for this.

749
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:18,500
So you do it because you love art, you love what you do.

750
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:19,770
We have local business owners here.

751
00:35:19,770 --> 00:35:22,970
We have residents as well as part of the organization.

752
00:35:22,970 --> 00:35:26,510
So congratulations because you're-- and let me say this

753
00:35:26,510 --> 00:35:30,670
as well-- we also have to recognize that art is a way

754
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:33,490
of moving the city, financially speaking.

755
00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:35,150
It's an economic engine.

756
00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:39,310
And if we don't see it that way, then, certainly, we

757
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:40,910
don't know anything about art.

758
00:35:40,910 --> 00:35:44,430
But that's why you also have actually created

759
00:35:44,430 --> 00:35:46,950
that sense of mobility around the city

760
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:50,930
when it comes to people visiting Doral, people

761
00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:54,690
after the fair staying in downtown Doral or other places

762
00:35:54,690 --> 00:35:58,700
around the city also spending money here.

763
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,450
So I just want to say congratulations

764
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:04,470
because every year is more and more participation.

765
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:08,870
And I certainly look forward to be there this year once again.

766
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:09,370
Thank you.

767
00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:10,620
Thank you, Councilman Pineyro.

768
00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:11,510
Thank you all again.

769
00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:12,210
Thank you.

770
00:36:12,210 --> 00:36:13,850
Best of luck.

771
00:36:13,850 --> 00:36:14,350
All right.

772
00:36:14,350 --> 00:36:16,430
We're going to move into our discussion items.

773
00:36:16,430 --> 00:36:17,230
Madam Clerk?

774
00:36:17,230 --> 00:36:19,490
Discussion item 9A, A resolution of the Mayor the City Council

775
00:36:19,490 --> 00:36:22,115
of the City of Doral, Florida, awarding invitation to negotiate

776
00:36:22,115 --> 00:36:24,450
ITN 2026-11 "Vending machines operation and management"

777
00:36:24,450 --> 00:36:26,470
to Fresh Service & Repair Corporation;

778
00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:28,370
authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with

779
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,170
Fresh Service & Repair Corporation for a period

780
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:32,250
of three years, with an option to renew for two one-year

781
00:36:32,250 --> 00:36:34,330
periods; authorizing the City Manager to execute

782
00:36:34,330 --> 00:36:36,170
the agreement; providing for implementation and incorporation

783
00:36:36,170 --> 00:36:38,100
of recitals and an effective date.

784
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,690
All right.

785
00:36:39,690 --> 00:36:41,970
Madam City Manager, it's your item.

786
00:36:41,970 --> 00:36:44,210
Good morning, Mayor and Council, again.

787
00:36:44,210 --> 00:36:47,870
I just have a few words with respect to this item.

788
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:52,700
So this ITN was issued on April 1, 2026.

789
00:36:52,540 --> 00:36:55,760
And the city received three responsive proposals.

790
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,320
The procurement consisted of four phases--

791
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,300
the evaluation and ranking, the presentations

792
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:04,160
and the question and answer, the negotiations,

793
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,160
and the final evaluation recommendation.

794
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,600
On May 12, 2026, the evaluation committee

795
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,760
unanimously advanced all three proposals to phase 2.

796
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,420
Following presentations and question and answers,

797
00:37:17,420 --> 00:37:20,540
two finalists, Canteen and Fresh Service,

798
00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:23,880
were selected to proceed to negotiations.

799
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,880
Negotiations with the two finalists

800
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,280
were held on June 2, 2026.

801
00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:32,220
And on June 8, 2026, the evaluation committee

802
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,920
completed its final evaluation and unanimously ranked

803
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,600
the proposals as follows.

804
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,560
Number one, Fresh Service & Repair Corporation

805
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,520
with 91 points.

806
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,520
And number two, Canteen with 82.67.

807
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:48,100
The difference between the two finalists

808
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:52,900
was an 8.33 points difference, resulting in the committee's

809
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:59,260
recommendation to award the ITN to Fresh Service & Repair Corp.

810
00:37:59,260 --> 00:38:01,940
The city's intent to award was signed and announced

811
00:38:01,940 --> 00:38:03,940
on June 9, 2026.

812
00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:10,200
On June 12, 2026, a bid protest was filed with the City Clerk.

813
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,260
On June 22, the Procurement and Asset Manager Director

814
00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:17,600
submitted a written decision to the City Manager.

815
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,660
On July 27, 2026, the City Manager, I,

816
00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:26,460
issued a decision resolving the protest and affirming the ITN

817
00:38:26,460 --> 00:38:30,660
2026-11 award to Fresh Service & Repair Corp.,

818
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:34,140
with headquarters in the City of Doral.

819
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:38,500
The final decision was emailed to the protesting party on July

820
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:40,500
27, 2026 at 3:52 PM.

821
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,400
Pursuant to Section 2-338 of the City Municipal Code,

822
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,960
any appeal was required to be filed within five calendar days

823
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,640
of that notice.

824
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,240
Accordingly, the appeal deadline was August 1, 2026.

825
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,880
The protesting parties submitted their appeal two days late,

826
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,880
on Monday, August 3, at 5:03 PM.

827
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,520
All actions related to this bid protest, appeal,

828
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,800
and resolution were conducted pursuant to Section 2-338

829
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,720
of the City Municipal Code.

830
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:14,320
The code also provides that the protesting party must first

831
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,800
follow the established protest and appeal procedures

832
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,200
before seeking judicial relief.

833
00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:24,177
I want to just state that I stand

834
00:39:24,177 --> 00:39:25,760
by the decision and the recommendation

835
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,160
I've made to Council.

836
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,240
And I would ask for you to uphold that recommendation

837
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:34,100
and select Fresh Service & Repair Corp. for this contract.

838
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:35,360
Thank you.

839
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,220
Thank you, Madam City Manager.

840
00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:39,980
Before we open to any questions or discussion,

841
00:39:39,980 --> 00:39:42,530
I think the City Attorney also has--

842
00:39:42,530 --> 00:39:43,220
go ahead, Mr. City Attorney.

843
00:39:43,220 --> 00:39:45,790
And then I'll ask for any ex parte communication

844
00:39:45,790 --> 00:39:46,850
before we discuss.

845
00:39:46,850 --> 00:39:49,350
Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council.

846
00:39:49,350 --> 00:39:51,290
The job of the Council today is twofold.

847
00:39:51,290 --> 00:39:53,930
First, you're treating this protest that we received.

848
00:39:53,930 --> 00:39:55,300
It's before you.

849
00:39:55,300 --> 00:40:01,230
You've received in the-- in your agenda and in other documents

850
00:40:01,230 --> 00:40:04,790
that we forwarded to you the letters that were submitted

851
00:40:04,790 --> 00:40:08,590
by Canteen by their council, the different protest

852
00:40:08,590 --> 00:40:12,830
letters that they forwarded, and including the August 3, which

853
00:40:12,830 --> 00:40:14,510
was untimely, but it is before you.

854
00:40:14,510 --> 00:40:18,870
And I think you should consider it and, in your determination,

855
00:40:18,870 --> 00:40:20,350
take that into account.

856
00:40:20,350 --> 00:40:22,150
You've also listened to the testimony

857
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:28,750
that's been presented by the Canteen and also by the awardee.

858
00:40:28,990 --> 00:40:32,550
And so your job today is to take all this evidence into account

859
00:40:32,550 --> 00:40:36,350
and weigh that and make a decision

860
00:40:36,350 --> 00:40:39,970
first on whether to uphold the protest,

861
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:42,790
and then what would happen is that the item would be rebidded,

862
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:45,100
or to uphold the manager's decision

863
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:46,950
and move forward with the awarding.

864
00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:47,450
OK.

865
00:40:47,450 --> 00:40:48,658
Thank you, Mr. City Attorney.

866
00:40:48,658 --> 00:40:50,990
At the advice of the City Attorney,

867
00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:53,930
he's asked me to ask for ex parte communication,

868
00:40:53,930 --> 00:40:58,330
as the protester has taken a litigious approach.

869
00:40:58,330 --> 00:41:01,438
So we're going to ask if there's been any ex parte

870
00:41:01,438 --> 00:41:03,730
communications at this time before there's any comments

871
00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:05,600
or questions and a motion.

872
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,350
There's been communication with my office.

873
00:41:07,350 --> 00:41:09,630
But it will not influence my decision.

874
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:13,610
I also have been contacted by the protesting party.

875
00:41:13,610 --> 00:41:17,900
And it should not have any effect on my decision.

876
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:19,770
Mayor, I've also had ex parte communication.

877
00:41:19,770 --> 00:41:21,650
And it will not affect my decision.

878
00:41:21,650 --> 00:41:23,530
Likewise here.

879
00:41:23,530 --> 00:41:24,130
None.

880
00:41:24,130 --> 00:41:24,730
OK.

881
00:41:24,730 --> 00:41:25,650
All right.

882
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:28,250
Is there any comments, questions, or a motion

883
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:30,650
based on the recommendation?

884
00:41:30,970 --> 00:41:32,900
Motion to approve.

885
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:35,690
Motion to approve by Councilman Pineyro.

886
00:41:35,770 --> 00:41:36,370
Second.

887
00:41:36,370 --> 00:41:38,370
Second by Councilwoman Reinoso.

888
00:41:38,370 --> 00:41:39,800
Based on the recommendation-- yes?

889
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,140
Madam Mayor, so is the motion to approve--

890
00:41:42,140 --> 00:41:47,540
is the motion to uphold the Manager's decision, Councilman?

891
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,600
Yes.

892
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,380
Any comments or questions before we call the question?

893
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:53,880
OK.

894
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,923
Madam Clerk, please call the question.

895
00:41:56,923 --> 00:41:58,840
Motion to approve the Manager's recommendation

896
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,800
made by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

897
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:00,980
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

898
00:42:00,980 --> 00:42:01,740
Councilman Pineyro?

899
00:42:01,740 --> 00:42:02,400
Yes.

900
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:02,920
Councilwoman Reinoso?

901
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,420
Yes.

902
00:42:03,420 --> 00:42:04,180
Councilwoman Porras?

903
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:04,480
Yes.

904
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,340
Vice Mayor Cabral?

905
00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:05,840
Yes.

906
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:06,360
Mayor Fraga?

907
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:06,860
Yes.

908
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:07,660
Motion passes.

909
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:08,720
All right.

910
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:13,635
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

911
00:42:13,635 --> 00:42:15,260
All right, we move on to the next item.

912
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:17,800
Item 9B, A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council

913
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:18,920
of City of Doral, Florida, adopting a fiscal transition

914
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,380
policy for Council office budgets,

915
00:42:20,380 --> 00:42:22,213
providing for applicability, implementation,

916
00:42:22,213 --> 00:42:24,300
incorporation of recitals, and an effective date.

917
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:24,800
OK.

918
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,580
Thank you very much, Madam Clerk.

919
00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:28,400
This is my item.

920
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,680
Councilmembers, the item that is before you is something that

921
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,900
has come to my attention in the past,

922
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:35,460
not just at the School District.

923
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:36,622
I ran into this issue.

924
00:42:36,622 --> 00:42:38,580
I know Councilwoman Reinoso ran into this issue

925
00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:40,280
when she was elected here.

926
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,460
And what I have experienced and what

927
00:42:43,460 --> 00:42:45,780
we have discussed through the administration

928
00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:47,760
is, in preparation for the budget,

929
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,260
it's come to our attention that there

930
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:55,660
is no policy or no, really, way for there

931
00:42:57,420 --> 00:43:02,220
to be a barrier for a Council member

932
00:43:02,620 --> 00:43:05,340
that is outgoing or termed out or in an election process

933
00:43:05,340 --> 00:43:09,920
to expend their office's budget in one month for the full year,

934
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,820
leaving the potentially incoming Council member,

935
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:16,340
if it's a termed-out person, or if someone is up for reelection

936
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:21,200
and doesn't succeed, then that coming-- incoming person would

937
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,620
basically be left with zero budget, which is what happened

938
00:43:23,620 --> 00:43:24,780
to Councilwoman Reinoso.

939
00:43:24,780 --> 00:43:27,460
In one month, the former Council member

940
00:43:27,460 --> 00:43:29,660
expended the entire budget.

941
00:43:29,660 --> 00:43:31,740
And she was basically left with almost nothing.

942
00:43:31,740 --> 00:43:33,940
Happened to me at the School District also.

943
00:43:33,940 --> 00:43:36,720
You remember because you were with me at the time.

944
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:37,360
We came in.

945
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,200
And basically, the person before me,

946
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,620
knowing they were on their way out, expended all the funds.

947
00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:45,200
And so taxpayers are basically double-burdened because it's

948
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,160
unfair for that person coming in to not

949
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,880
have the funding that is intended for that person

950
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,000
to do their job.

951
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,140
And so funds have to be replenished in some cases.

952
00:43:54,140 --> 00:43:56,720
And so this policy, well, it does assess a strict fiscal

953
00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:02,120
responsibility and transparency, as well as a policy that

954
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,520
basically prorates those funds into 1/12.

955
00:44:06,863 --> 00:44:09,280
So you will be able to continue doing your job by the time

956
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,780
you're there, but you're not allowed

957
00:44:10,780 --> 00:44:13,880
to expend over the prorated amount for that month

958
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,400
that you are there.

959
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,200
There are exemptions such as you should not

960
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,480
be ordering logo wear or cards or anything like that

961
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,680
if you are termed out.

962
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,280
So this just creates a standard procedure and policy

963
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:30,660
to be followed so that there is no questions, and there's no--

964
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:35,350
it's not abused from the office of the person sitting there,

965
00:44:35,350 --> 00:44:37,870
leaving that other person basically helpless when

966
00:44:37,870 --> 00:44:39,370
they come in with no funding.

967
00:44:39,370 --> 00:44:41,350
I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

968
00:44:41,350 --> 00:44:43,970
If there's any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

969
00:44:43,970 --> 00:44:47,290
The City Attorney has reviewed this for legal sufficiency.

970
00:44:47,290 --> 00:44:49,270
And the policy is before you.

971
00:44:49,270 --> 00:44:51,190
I have some quick questions, Mayor.

972
00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:53,190
Yes, Councilwoman Porras.

973
00:44:53,830 --> 00:44:55,900
I get the intent.

974
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:56,210
And I do agree with it.

975
00:44:56,210 --> 00:44:57,870
I mean, I've heard this happening

976
00:44:57,870 --> 00:45:01,130
at the county level and different governments--

977
00:45:01,130 --> 00:45:02,350
levels of government.

978
00:45:02,350 --> 00:45:05,590
What was done in Councilwoman Reinoso's case,

979
00:45:05,590 --> 00:45:07,990
was her budget replenished?

980
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:09,865
I don't remember, actually.

981
00:45:09,865 --> 00:45:10,990
Councilwoman, you remember?

982
00:45:10,990 --> 00:45:11,410
No.

983
00:45:11,410 --> 00:45:11,570
No?

984
00:45:11,570 --> 00:45:11,730
No.

985
00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:13,870
I think you had to wait for the new fiscal year.

986
00:45:13,870 --> 00:45:15,850
Whatever was spent-- through the Mayor.

987
00:45:15,850 --> 00:45:17,730
Whatever was spent was spent.

988
00:45:17,730 --> 00:45:21,770
And then I don't remember having funds.

989
00:45:21,770 --> 00:45:24,848
Yeah, it was, I think, promotional items, memberships,

990
00:45:24,848 --> 00:45:25,390
and journals.

991
00:45:25,390 --> 00:45:26,170
I don't remember.

992
00:45:26,170 --> 00:45:27,430
But I know that it was spent.

993
00:45:27,430 --> 00:45:27,710
Got it.

994
00:45:27,710 --> 00:45:29,890
And there was no money to replenish that account.

995
00:45:29,890 --> 00:45:30,390
Yeah.

996
00:45:30,390 --> 00:45:32,490
No, I agree with the policy.

997
00:45:32,490 --> 00:45:34,690
Again, I've seen it happen and--

998
00:45:34,690 --> 00:45:36,490
in different offices.

999
00:45:36,490 --> 00:45:40,840
My only question is I don't see it including the mayor's office.

1000
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,590
Is that something that we can add as well?

1001
00:45:42,590 --> 00:45:43,270
It is included.

1002
00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:43,630
Oh, is it?

1003
00:45:43,630 --> 00:45:43,830
Yes.

1004
00:45:43,830 --> 00:45:44,250
Because it just says--

1005
00:45:44,250 --> 00:45:46,190
I'm considered a Council member, too, as far as--

1006
00:45:46,190 --> 00:45:46,530
OK.

1007
00:45:46,530 --> 00:45:46,990
Yeah.

1008
00:45:46,990 --> 00:45:47,490
OK.

1009
00:45:47,490 --> 00:45:48,850
I just wanted to clarify that.

1010
00:45:48,850 --> 00:45:49,620
It is included.

1011
00:45:49,620 --> 00:45:50,120
OK.

1012
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,290
All right.

1013
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:52,530
Motion to approve.

1014
00:45:52,530 --> 00:45:54,590
Motion to approve by Councilman Pineyro.

1015
00:45:54,590 --> 00:45:55,410
Second.

1016
00:45:55,410 --> 00:45:57,210
Second by Councilwoman Reinoso.

1017
00:45:57,210 --> 00:45:59,710
If there's no further questions, Madam Clerk,

1018
00:45:59,710 --> 00:46:00,610
please call the roll.

1019
00:46:00,610 --> 00:46:02,370
Motion to approve moved by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

1020
00:46:02,370 --> 00:46:03,190
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

1021
00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:03,890
Councilman Pineyro?

1022
00:46:03,890 --> 00:46:04,190
Yes.

1023
00:46:04,190 --> 00:46:05,500
Councilwoman Reinoso?

1024
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:05,310
Yes.

1025
00:46:05,310 --> 00:46:06,170
Councilwoman Porras?

1026
00:46:06,170 --> 00:46:06,370
Yes.

1027
00:46:06,370 --> 00:46:07,120
Vice Mayor Cabral?

1028
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:07,620
Yes.

1029
00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:08,120
Mayor Fraga?

1030
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:08,620
Yes.

1031
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:09,230
Motion passes.

1032
00:46:09,230 --> 00:46:10,378
Thank you for your support.

1033
00:46:10,378 --> 00:46:11,670
We'll move on to the next item.

1034
00:46:11,670 --> 00:46:13,570
Item 9C, A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council

1035
00:46:13,570 --> 00:46:15,250
of the City of Doral, Florida, directing the City Manager

1036
00:46:15,250 --> 00:46:16,690
to establish a "Doral Ready Squad"

1037
00:46:16,690 --> 00:46:19,900
Hurricane Preparedness Volunteer Program in conjunction with

1038
00:46:19,900 --> 00:46:20,650
the Parks and Recreation Department's Silver Club

1039
00:46:20,650 --> 00:46:22,350
and the Military Affairs Advisory Board,

1040
00:46:22,350 --> 00:46:24,970
pairing veterans, high school student volunteers teams through

1041
00:46:24,970 --> 00:46:27,470
our Student Volunteer Program, providing for implementation,

1042
00:46:27,470 --> 00:46:30,320
incorporation of recitals, and an effective date.

1043
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,320
Councilwoman Reinoso, this is your item.

1044
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,720
Thank you, Mayor.

1045
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:39,800
So this item would already use an established volunteer program

1046
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,800
that we do have through our parks, I believe.

1047
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:47,400
And it would be using our Military Affairs Advisory Board

1048
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,260
to lead the Doral squad in events of emergency,

1049
00:46:52,260 --> 00:46:54,260
particularly a hurricane.

1050
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,920
So during the time of a hurricane warning,

1051
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,640
I would like-- because our community is so strong,

1052
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,600
and we're so united for even a time of need,

1053
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:10,800
such as a hurricane-- to be able to establish an emergency

1054
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,440
team based of volunteers, led by the Military Advisory Board,

1055
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,780
to dispatch within our different communities,

1056
00:47:18,780 --> 00:47:23,520
particularly to our Silver Club and our Special Needs group,

1057
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,340
help during a hurricane, whether it be setting up shutters, maybe

1058
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:29,720
bringing in groceries.

1059
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,320
But it's just a neighborly initiative.

1060
00:47:34,340 --> 00:47:38,600
And the idea behind it is for the Military Advisory Board

1061
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,860
to essentially break the city into separate sections.

1062
00:47:43,780 --> 00:47:46,360
And they would lead a certain section of the city.

1063
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,860
And my hope is to have enough volunteers registered

1064
00:47:49,860 --> 00:47:53,700
that each community has at least two volunteers in case

1065
00:47:53,700 --> 00:47:54,780
of emergency.

1066
00:47:54,780 --> 00:47:58,460
Now, this could very well be seen as a pilot program.

1067
00:47:58,460 --> 00:48:00,920
And it could turn into something greater.

1068
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,980
But I think it's a beautiful thing when

1069
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:05,100
we have a community that is so united

1070
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:10,120
and to extend that neighborly help in a time of need.

1071
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,160
So this item sets some parameters to do that.

1072
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,140
And I hope that I can have the support of my colleagues.

1073
00:48:17,140 --> 00:48:19,140
Thank you, Councilwoman Reinoso.

1074
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:23,200
Any comments or questions for the Councilwoman?

1075
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:23,880
Motion to approve.

1076
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,580
Motion to approve by Councilman Pineyro.

1077
00:48:25,580 --> 00:48:26,800
Second.

1078
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,480
Second by Councilwoman Porras.

1079
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,000
Finished it?

1080
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:30,680
Yeah.

1081
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,360
Thank you.

1082
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:31,860
All right.

1083
00:48:31,860 --> 00:48:33,600
If there's no other comments or questions,

1084
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:34,600
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

1085
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,800
Motion to approve moved by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

1086
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,960
by Councilwoman Porras.

1087
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,460
Councilman Pineyro?

1088
00:48:37,460 --> 00:48:37,680
Yes.

1089
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,300
Councilwoman Porras?

1090
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:38,800
Yes.

1091
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,780
Councilwoman Reinoso?

1092
00:48:39,780 --> 00:48:40,280
Yes.

1093
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,600
Vice Mayor Cabral?

1094
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:41,560
Yes.

1095
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,600
Mayor Fraga?

1096
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:42,680
Yes.

1097
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,640
The motion passes.

1098
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:45,140
All right.

1099
00:48:45,140 --> 00:48:46,300
Next item, Madam Clerk.

1100
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:48,440
Next item, 9D, A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council

1101
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,000
of the City of Doral, Florida, directing the City Manager

1102
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,300
to explore mental health options for City of Doral employees,

1103
00:48:52,300 --> 00:48:54,400
providing for implementation, incorporation of recitals,

1104
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,000
and an effective date.

1105
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,500
All right.

1106
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:57,375
Councilwoman Reinoso, this is also your item.

1107
00:48:57,375 --> 00:48:58,000
Yes.

1108
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:05,200
So the City of Doral has had some hard last couple of months.

1109
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,600
But we are resilient.

1110
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,680
We are a community with heart.

1111
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,320
The reason why things affect us so closely

1112
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,600
is because of the close relationship

1113
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,400
that our employees have with each other,

1114
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,840
our community has with us.

1115
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,760
And it's a bittersweet thing.

1116
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:27,990
But again, it shows what a great job we are doing as a city

1117
00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:33,390
that all these different people and events intertwine us,

1118
00:49:34,550 --> 00:49:36,550
keep us connected.

1119
00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:41,510
So mental health needs to be our priority.

1120
00:49:41,670 --> 00:49:44,710
I know that the city has been doing things.

1121
00:49:44,710 --> 00:49:45,950
But we need to do more.

1122
00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:48,430
And we need to do better.

1123
00:49:48,430 --> 00:49:50,990
So public service can be demanding.

1124
00:49:50,990 --> 00:49:56,310
And we must ensure our employees have ample resources to address

1125
00:49:56,310 --> 00:49:58,630
and discuss challenges that may be

1126
00:49:58,630 --> 00:50:02,230
affecting them, both personally and professionally.

1127
00:50:02,830 --> 00:50:05,310
While the city currently provides support,

1128
00:50:05,310 --> 00:50:11,910
I believe we should educate and give this area the attention

1129
00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:14,630
and funding it deserves.

1130
00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:19,390
I ask the City Manager to look into the different programs

1131
00:50:19,390 --> 00:50:23,690
that may be available and, if it is within her budget,

1132
00:50:23,690 --> 00:50:25,450
to move forward, and if it is not,

1133
00:50:25,450 --> 00:50:28,650
to bring it back to Council.

1134
00:50:28,650 --> 00:50:32,650
I am requesting, therefore, the City Manager to work with staff

1135
00:50:32,650 --> 00:50:34,410
and the experts needed to develop

1136
00:50:34,410 --> 00:50:38,610
a comprehensive mental health program for all

1137
00:50:39,570 --> 00:50:43,900
of our employees, every single one.

1138
00:50:43,900 --> 00:50:47,890
The goal is to provide resources, private help,

1139
00:50:48,330 --> 00:50:52,370
anonymous private help, and reduce the stigma

1140
00:50:52,370 --> 00:50:53,970
behind mental health.

1141
00:50:53,970 --> 00:50:57,170
I believe, as the leaders that we are, sitting up here,

1142
00:50:57,170 --> 00:51:01,100
it is our role to call attention to these things.

1143
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:03,650
And it needs to be done.

1144
00:51:03,650 --> 00:51:04,850
It needs to be done.

1145
00:51:04,850 --> 00:51:07,170
And it needs to be a conversation that

1146
00:51:07,170 --> 00:51:09,970
is comfortable, a conversation that

1147
00:51:09,970 --> 00:51:14,210
needs to be had because grief is normal.

1148
00:51:14,210 --> 00:51:17,970
It is an extension, a different phase, of love.

1149
00:51:17,970 --> 00:51:20,550
Life can be overwhelming and demanding.

1150
00:51:20,550 --> 00:51:22,950
But you're not alone.

1151
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,300
You're loved.

1152
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:25,880
There's resources.

1153
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,380
And we need to be able-- as Council, as staff,

1154
00:51:30,380 --> 00:51:35,320
as administration, we need to be able to provide that resource.

1155
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,560
So supporting the mental health of our employees

1156
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,880
is an investment in their well-being

1157
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,480
and the continued strength within our city.

1158
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,640
God bless the staff.

1159
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,320
God bless our city.

1160
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,680
And I hope to have the support from my colleagues

1161
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,400
as well to pass this along.

1162
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,320
Our employees are our top priority.

1163
00:51:58,320 --> 00:51:59,740
And we love you.

1164
00:51:59,740 --> 00:52:01,580
And mental health needs to be discussed.

1165
00:52:01,580 --> 00:52:05,160
And you all need the resources available to help

1166
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,880
you do the best for our city and to help

1167
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,880
do the best for yourselves.

1168
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,760
Thank you, Councilwoman.

1169
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,500
I couldn't agree more.

1170
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:19,220
And I would like to co-sponsor this item if possible.

1171
00:52:19,220 --> 00:52:22,720
And I think it's an extremely sensitive item.

1172
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:24,680
So I really appreciate your approach on it,

1173
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,360
because I know that it's something that is extremely,

1174
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,400
deeply personal to people.

1175
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,900
And so we want to be able to extend

1176
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:34,900
that help and that resource.

1177
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,280
But it is extremely personal.

1178
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,500
And so I think that we should absolutely

1179
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:44,540
have the experts look into it and see how we can continue

1180
00:52:44,540 --> 00:52:48,100
to improve and be better and continue to grow and learn

1181
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:50,100
from these circumstances.

1182
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,440
So thank you for bringing this forward.

1183
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,380
I also want to just piggyback off of it

1184
00:52:54,380 --> 00:52:57,580
and mention I have been having conversations

1185
00:52:57,580 --> 00:53:01,740
right after learning about this with the Manager and our Parks

1186
00:53:01,740 --> 00:53:05,500
Director to include a monthly mental health

1187
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,900
emotional intelligence support or--

1188
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,860
we're calling it-- what was the word I used?

1189
00:53:13,860 --> 00:53:17,930
Not a support group, but a come-together group

1190
00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:20,630
through our parks in our monthly programming.

1191
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:22,930
So not just sports and art and all these great things

1192
00:53:22,930 --> 00:53:27,500
that we do, but also to have one programming a month

1193
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:31,130
in our parks, a public opportunity for people

1194
00:53:31,130 --> 00:53:34,930
to either come to a workshop, a class,

1195
00:53:34,930 --> 00:53:40,500
a motivational speaker, a group of colleagues that get together.

1196
00:53:40,500 --> 00:53:42,370
So we will be starting to incorporate some of that

1197
00:53:42,370 --> 00:53:43,830
into our monthly programming.

1198
00:53:43,830 --> 00:53:46,500
So I just wanted to mention that as well.

1199
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:48,930
And I think it's extremely valuable for our community, not

1200
00:53:48,930 --> 00:53:50,570
just our employees.

1201
00:53:50,570 --> 00:53:54,208
So thank you for bringing this forward.

1202
00:53:54,208 --> 00:53:55,250
You have my full support.

1203
00:53:55,250 --> 00:53:58,130
And I look forward to working with all of you

1204
00:53:58,130 --> 00:54:01,330
to improve this in our-- amongst our community.

1205
00:54:01,330 --> 00:54:02,650
Motion to approve.

1206
00:54:02,650 --> 00:54:04,830
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Cabral.

1207
00:54:04,830 --> 00:54:05,330
Second.

1208
00:54:05,330 --> 00:54:06,890
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

1209
00:54:06,890 --> 00:54:07,990
And Councilman Pineyro?

1210
00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:08,490
Sure.

1211
00:54:08,490 --> 00:54:08,990
Comment?

1212
00:54:08,990 --> 00:54:10,690
Thank you, Mayor.

1213
00:54:10,690 --> 00:54:12,310
And thank you, Councilwoman Reinoso,

1214
00:54:12,310 --> 00:54:13,870
for bringing this forward.

1215
00:54:13,870 --> 00:54:16,330
And I would love to co-sponsor as well this item.

1216
00:54:16,330 --> 00:54:17,700
Thank you.

1217
00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:21,410
But I also want to mention just an idea as well,

1218
00:54:21,410 --> 00:54:24,430
because I think we did something similar

1219
00:54:24,430 --> 00:54:28,150
when it came to the discussion about the domestic violence

1220
00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:33,630
as well, that we included a section on our website

1221
00:54:33,630 --> 00:54:38,430
about services, local providers, or approved institutions that

1222
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:44,390
provide these type of services, not only for staff, but also

1223
00:54:44,390 --> 00:54:46,790
for residents as well.

1224
00:54:46,910 --> 00:54:48,510
So maybe we can look into that option

1225
00:54:48,510 --> 00:54:52,300
as well, that we can provide information

1226
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:55,230
in our website about mental health.

1227
00:54:55,230 --> 00:54:57,710
And, as a matter of fact, we--

1228
00:54:57,710 --> 00:55:01,310
I have been working on hosting--

1229
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:04,750
next week-- I believe it's the 22nd--

1230
00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:10,150
at Albizu University a workshop conference about mental health.

1231
00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:14,900
We have been working on this for the past almost two months.

1232
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:16,250
So I'm going to pass the information to you

1233
00:55:16,250 --> 00:55:20,130
as well so you can attend and speak about it because it's

1234
00:55:20,130 --> 00:55:25,530
something that certainly is needed to speak and to--

1235
00:55:26,490 --> 00:55:30,300
and for residents to know what type of resources are available.

1236
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:33,650
So I'm going to be sharing that information as well.

1237
00:55:33,650 --> 00:55:37,350
And speaking of Albizu University, it's here in Doral.

1238
00:55:37,350 --> 00:55:40,150
And they do provide a lot of these services.

1239
00:55:40,150 --> 00:55:43,250
So just for you to keep that in mind as well.

1240
00:55:43,250 --> 00:55:46,150
And we can work with them in a lot of these initiatives.

1241
00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:48,150
So thank you.

1242
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:49,530
Absolutely.

1243
00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:50,447
Thank you, Councilman.

1244
00:55:50,447 --> 00:55:51,650
Yes, absolutely.

1245
00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:53,130
So all right.

1246
00:55:53,130 --> 00:55:53,630
Mayor?

1247
00:55:53,630 --> 00:55:54,130
Yes.

1248
00:55:54,130 --> 00:55:54,770
Yes.

1249
00:55:54,770 --> 00:55:57,110
So I just wanted to make a quick comment.

1250
00:55:57,110 --> 00:56:00,500
So we have been already--

1251
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:02,890
we have already started conversations and meetings.

1252
00:56:02,890 --> 00:56:06,530
I've met with the HR Director, the Chief of Police,

1253
00:56:06,530 --> 00:56:08,610
I also met with Councilwoman Reinoso

1254
00:56:08,610 --> 00:56:13,440
to get some guidance on what it is that we wanted to see.

1255
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,320
And we are putting together some proposals.

1256
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,720
If we can do it under my threshold, which

1257
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:24,400
I would hope we could, then I'll go ahead and do that.

1258
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:25,920
But I will update Council.

1259
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,240
And also, if it does exceed, then we

1260
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:30,780
can examine those as well.

1261
00:56:30,780 --> 00:56:33,480
But we are coming up with specific programs tailored

1262
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,280
to specific populations and also to--

1263
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,380
but it will cover all of our employees.

1264
00:56:39,380 --> 00:56:39,880
Thank you.

1265
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:40,680
Mayor?

1266
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:41,800
Yes, Councilwoman.

1267
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,320
And I would like for mandatory sessions

1268
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,320
to be included in whatever the program is because I think

1269
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:53,560
if everybody needs to go to a session, whether it's a workshop

1270
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,340
or whatever it may be, it starts to break down the stigma.

1271
00:56:57,340 --> 00:56:59,960
It also becomes an avenue that if somebody

1272
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:02,360
does need that extra help, they can

1273
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,800
go through that under the radar and seek that help that they

1274
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:12,500
may be needing without a worry of maybe somebody noticing.

1275
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:15,980
We just want to be able to provide that resource of help

1276
00:57:15,980 --> 00:57:16,980
when needed.

1277
00:57:16,980 --> 00:57:21,860
And to the Mayor's point, I love the now

1278
00:57:21,860 --> 00:57:24,380
extending this to the community--

1279
00:57:24,380 --> 00:57:26,380
perhaps on a monthly basis, is what I'm hearing?

1280
00:57:26,380 --> 00:57:27,660
Yeah, once a month.

1281
00:57:27,660 --> 00:57:30,540
We did have tragedies at our local school.

1282
00:57:30,540 --> 00:57:34,460
And I think it would be nice to also have a component

1283
00:57:34,460 --> 00:57:38,620
for students, parents, and families that may have gone

1284
00:57:38,620 --> 00:57:42,680
through some things recently to have some source--

1285
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:47,480
some resource that they can seek guidance or--

1286
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,720
we can't prevent tragedies from happening.

1287
00:57:53,260 --> 00:57:56,620
We have to be ready for when they do happen.

1288
00:57:56,620 --> 00:58:02,620
And again, these are things that happen within our life.

1289
00:58:05,140 --> 00:58:10,290
There's a way to prevent the really, really terrible stuff.

1290
00:58:10,290 --> 00:58:12,500
And I think that's what we're trying

1291
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:13,510
to do with this opportunity.

1292
00:58:13,510 --> 00:58:16,290
But when things do happen, there's

1293
00:58:16,290 --> 00:58:18,510
people that are heartbroken, that are hurt,

1294
00:58:18,510 --> 00:58:19,510
that are left over.

1295
00:58:19,510 --> 00:58:21,510
And they also need help too.

1296
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:25,710
So yes, it's a very delicate topic.

1297
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:27,950
I don't want to speak more about it.

1298
00:58:27,950 --> 00:58:29,570
I think enough has been said.

1299
00:58:29,570 --> 00:58:31,570
But I appreciate that just how we

1300
00:58:31,570 --> 00:58:35,670
plan parties and feel-good events, that, as a city,

1301
00:58:35,670 --> 00:58:37,570
we also deal with the harder topics

1302
00:58:37,570 --> 00:58:41,170
and provide those resources as well.

1303
00:58:41,330 --> 00:58:42,490
Thank you.

1304
00:58:42,490 --> 00:58:42,990
All right.

1305
00:58:42,990 --> 00:58:45,700
If there's no additional comments or questions,

1306
00:58:45,700 --> 00:58:46,770
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

1307
00:58:46,770 --> 00:58:48,395
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Cabral,

1308
00:58:48,395 --> 00:58:49,687
seconded by Councilman Pineyro.

1309
00:58:49,687 --> 00:58:50,450
Vice Mayor Cabral?

1310
00:58:50,450 --> 00:58:50,870
Yes.

1311
00:58:50,870 --> 00:58:51,650
Councilman Pineyro?

1312
00:58:51,650 --> 00:58:51,890
Yes.

1313
00:58:51,890 --> 00:58:52,810
Councilwoman Porras?

1314
00:58:52,810 --> 00:58:53,100
Yes.

1315
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:53,970
Councilwoman Reinoso?

1316
00:58:53,970 --> 00:58:54,470
Yes.

1317
00:58:54,470 --> 00:58:55,500
Mayor Fraga?

1318
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:55,550
Yes.

1319
00:58:55,550 --> 00:58:56,170
Motion passes.

1320
00:58:56,170 --> 00:58:56,670
All right.

1321
00:58:56,670 --> 00:58:58,930
Thank you very much for your support.

1322
00:58:58,930 --> 00:59:02,130
Item 9E, Discussion-- Employee Salary Public Search Portal.

1323
00:59:02,130 --> 00:59:02,630
OK.

1324
00:59:02,630 --> 00:59:04,730
Councilwoman Porras, this is your item.

1325
00:59:04,730 --> 00:59:05,910
Thank you, Mayor.

1326
00:59:05,910 --> 00:59:09,470
This is just a very, very brief discussion

1327
00:59:09,470 --> 00:59:13,350
on the implementation of a search tool that's

1328
00:59:13,350 --> 00:59:17,670
going to allow the public to access and view employee

1329
00:59:17,670 --> 00:59:19,910
salaries for the city.

1330
00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:22,670
When I was looking into this, after the City of Miami

1331
00:59:22,670 --> 00:59:26,310
Beach and the City of Miami passed their own,

1332
00:59:26,310 --> 00:59:30,310
I-- and I emailed the City Manager's office about it,

1333
00:59:30,310 --> 00:59:32,790
she informed me that the city was already

1334
00:59:32,790 --> 00:59:35,310
working on something like this.

1335
00:59:35,310 --> 00:59:38,310
And so I just wanted to let residents know that it

1336
00:59:38,310 --> 00:59:41,310
is going to be happening.

1337
00:59:41,950 --> 00:59:46,150
And also, it is going to be something

1338
00:59:46,150 --> 00:59:48,670
that new state law is going to require

1339
00:59:48,670 --> 00:59:50,290
of cities and municipalities.

1340
00:59:50,290 --> 00:59:55,510
So I wanted to just very quickly have the City Attorney just

1341
00:59:55,510 --> 00:59:58,950
explain what the city-- what the new law requires

1342
00:59:58,950 --> 01:00:01,150
and then just, Manager, what you told me

1343
01:00:01,150 --> 01:00:03,970
so that the residents can know what's

1344
01:00:03,970 --> 01:00:06,330
going to be implemented later on.

1345
01:00:06,330 --> 01:00:07,850
Through the Mayor.

1346
01:00:07,850 --> 01:00:10,210
Councilwoman, so the new law that's

1347
01:00:10,210 --> 01:00:12,650
going to effect at the beginning of this year

1348
01:00:12,650 --> 01:00:15,450
basically requires that all local governments

1349
01:00:15,450 --> 01:00:18,100
post salaries of their employees and updated

1350
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:20,410
on a quarterly basis.

1351
01:00:20,490 --> 01:00:22,490
OK, thank you.

1352
01:00:24,130 --> 01:00:29,530
So, Mayor and Council, since the law was passed,

1353
01:00:30,170 --> 01:00:32,810
we have been discussing implementing

1354
01:00:32,810 --> 01:00:38,210
that, which the timeline for that is January 1 of 2027.

1355
01:00:39,130 --> 01:00:42,370
We are speaking with our vendors--

1356
01:00:42,370 --> 01:00:44,370
our Paycom vendor.

1357
01:00:44,810 --> 01:00:47,310
I'm trying to be able to make that an efficient process

1358
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:50,930
because I don't want something that has to be manually done

1359
01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:53,930
and inputted all the time.

1360
01:00:54,230 --> 01:00:57,830
So we are working on that.

1361
01:01:00,490 --> 01:01:04,600
Because I like to keep things clear, I want to understand--

1362
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,380
I want to just state that, yes, we have been working on it.

1363
01:01:07,380 --> 01:01:09,860
It is an administrative policy.

1364
01:01:09,860 --> 01:01:12,480
I did ask the Attorney if I was required

1365
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,900
to ask Council for action on that, and I'm not.

1366
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:19,920
So I am going to be handling this in an administrative policy

1367
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,920
manner.

1368
01:01:21,940 --> 01:01:24,160
And I will update Council accordingly

1369
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,140
once we come up with the system.

1370
01:01:26,140 --> 01:01:28,600
But absolutely, it will be up and running to meet--

1371
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,840
to be compliant with state law.

1372
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:32,960
Thank you very much.

1373
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:33,460
All right.

1374
01:01:33,460 --> 01:01:34,800
Another--

1375
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:34,780
Thank you very much.

1376
01:01:34,780 --> 01:01:35,280
Thank you.

1377
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,800
All right.

1378
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:37,600
No action is required.

1379
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,360
We'll move on to the next item, Item 9F.

1380
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,720
Item 9F, Discussion-- Advisory Boards, Committees,

1381
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,282
and Commissions Member Nomination.

1382
01:01:43,282 --> 01:01:45,240
Mayor and Council, I did receive one nomination

1383
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,920
from the office of Councilwoman Porras, which

1384
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,340
is attached here in for the commission on status of women.

1385
01:01:49,340 --> 01:01:50,660
Do we have a motion?

1386
01:01:50,660 --> 01:01:51,160
Motion.

1387
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,386
Motion to approve by Councilwoman Porras.

1388
01:01:52,386 --> 01:01:52,886
Second.

1389
01:01:52,886 --> 01:01:55,220
Second by Councilwoman Reinoso.

1390
01:01:55,220 --> 01:01:56,220
All in favor say, "aye."

1391
01:01:56,220 --> 01:01:56,800
Aye.

1392
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,400
Aye.

1393
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,858
Sorry, do we need a full roll call?

1394
01:01:59,858 --> 01:02:00,525
That's fine, no.

1395
01:02:00,525 --> 01:02:01,600
OK.

1396
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:02,460
Mayor's Report.

1397
01:02:02,460 --> 01:02:04,860
All right, Mayor's Report.

1398
01:02:07,220 --> 01:02:08,440
Give me one second.

1399
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,440
Sorry.

1400
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:15,140
So, first, I'd like to thank our Parks and Recreation Department

1401
01:02:15,140 --> 01:02:19,100
and our Doral Police Department for a great National Night Out

1402
01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:19,600
event.

1403
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:20,640
It was a success.

1404
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,872
People were happy, very well organized,

1405
01:02:22,872 --> 01:02:24,800
every year better and better.

1406
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:26,000
So thank you to the entire team--

1407
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,205
it was a wonderful evening--

1408
01:02:28,205 --> 01:02:29,580
and to the Police Department that

1409
01:02:29,580 --> 01:02:32,720
always does a great job with their National Night Out event.

1410
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,765
And I think our families truly enjoy it.

1411
01:02:34,765 --> 01:02:36,640
As our students head back to school tomorrow,

1412
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:42,280
I want to wish all our students a very successful, safe,

1413
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,940
and educational school year, creating new memories.

1414
01:02:45,940 --> 01:02:48,480
I just want to mention on that, too, I did ask--

1415
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,900
I know every year, first week of school

1416
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:54,000
is tough with some traffic delays.

1417
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,585
And so every year, we've gotten, I

1418
01:02:55,585 --> 01:02:57,210
think, a little bit better and not just

1419
01:02:57,210 --> 01:03:00,930
implementing more police officers around the schools

1420
01:03:00,930 --> 01:03:03,700
to help the flow of traffic.

1421
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:05,700
[PHONE RINGS]

1422
01:03:07,837 --> 01:03:08,670
Silence your phones.

1423
01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:10,900
No, I'm just kidding.

1424
01:03:10,900 --> 01:03:13,250
So not just on helping with the flow of traffic

1425
01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:17,100
and making sure that people have an easier route

1426
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:20,300
and that they feel and see the presence of our police officers.

1427
01:03:20,300 --> 01:03:21,950
And we get to engage with the kids and things.

1428
01:03:21,950 --> 01:03:25,410
So it's always wonderful to see our men and women in uniform

1429
01:03:25,410 --> 01:03:26,870
out there supporting families.

1430
01:03:26,870 --> 01:03:31,470
But this year, actually with the help of Public Works,

1431
01:03:31,470 --> 01:03:36,270
we requested all active MOTs to be delayed

1432
01:03:37,410 --> 01:03:40,310
and not obstruct the flow of traffic.

1433
01:03:40,310 --> 01:03:43,330
And so Carlos and his team did a great job of speaking with

1434
01:03:43,330 --> 01:03:47,250
the County and making sure that there was no MOTs that had been

1435
01:03:47,250 --> 01:03:50,610
approved through the County that we hadn't seen that would affect

1436
01:03:50,610 --> 01:03:53,290
the traffic flow, because we know that it's-- it can always

1437
01:03:53,290 --> 01:03:55,950
be a challenge in the mornings and in the afternoons.

1438
01:03:55,950 --> 01:03:59,530
So I can't promise there will be no traffic to the residents.

1439
01:03:59,530 --> 01:04:01,710
But we're going to make it as an easy process

1440
01:04:01,710 --> 01:04:04,230
and as a safe process as possible.

1441
01:04:04,230 --> 01:04:07,270
A quick reminder to our city offices that--

1442
01:04:07,270 --> 01:04:12,710
I mean, to our city that the offices will be closed in--

1443
01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:14,790
for Labor Day in recognition of-- observance

1444
01:04:14,790 --> 01:04:15,957
of Labor Day on September 7.

1445
01:04:15,957 --> 01:04:18,207
Obviously, we don't have a Council meeting until then,

1446
01:04:18,207 --> 01:04:19,910
so I just wanted to mention that.

1447
01:04:19,910 --> 01:04:22,810
And it will take place on Tuesday, September 8.

1448
01:04:22,810 --> 01:04:25,410
And then, of course, we have some birthdays this month--

1449
01:04:25,410 --> 01:04:30,210
our Director of IT, Eylin Fernandez, on August 13.

1450
01:04:31,670 --> 01:04:34,670
So tomorrow is your birthday.

1451
01:04:34,750 --> 01:04:36,470
I forgot what day it was.

1452
01:04:36,470 --> 01:04:40,890
Our Director of-- our Building Official, I'm sorry,

1453
01:04:40,890 --> 01:04:43,290
Linda Blanco, on August 26.

1454
01:04:44,110 --> 01:04:45,670
Happy birthday.

1455
01:04:45,670 --> 01:04:47,990
And we have a very special birthday.

1456
01:04:47,990 --> 01:04:52,190
Also, on Monday, August 17, our City Manager

1457
01:04:52,750 --> 01:04:54,710
will be celebrating her birthday.

1458
01:04:54,710 --> 01:04:56,710
Happy birthday.

1459
01:04:59,590 --> 01:05:00,900
Cake.

1460
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:02,790
(SINGING) Happy birthday to you

1461
01:05:02,790 --> 01:05:03,790
(SPEAKING) We sing here.

1462
01:05:03,790 --> 01:05:06,790
(SINGING) Happy birthday to you

1463
01:05:07,170 --> 01:05:09,570
Happy birthday, dear Zeida

1464
01:05:10,890 --> 01:05:13,290
Happy birthday to you

1465
01:05:14,190 --> 01:05:19,530
(SPEAKING) It looks like a Game of Thrones cake.

1466
01:05:19,530 --> 01:05:21,500
Thank you, everybody.

1467
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:24,550
All right, that concludes my Mayor's comments.

1468
01:05:24,550 --> 01:05:26,570
Thank you very much.

1469
01:05:26,570 --> 01:05:28,830
All right, the next item is Advisory Board Comments,

1470
01:05:28,830 --> 01:05:31,428
Special Needs Advisory Board for August 2026.

1471
01:05:31,428 --> 01:05:32,970
We do have Mr. Trevor Cunningham here

1472
01:05:32,970 --> 01:05:34,270
to present the report, Mayor.

1473
01:05:34,270 --> 01:05:35,370
Thank you.

1474
01:05:35,370 --> 01:05:37,370
Thank you for your patience.

1475
01:05:37,370 --> 01:05:39,100
Yeah, absolutely.

1476
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:40,650
And thank you for singing.

1477
01:05:40,650 --> 01:05:45,270
That gives me a little lightheartedness to do this.

1478
01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:47,130
As mentioned, my name is Trevor Cunningham.

1479
01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:49,970
And I am the Chair of the City of Doral Special Needs

1480
01:05:49,970 --> 01:05:51,970
Advisory Board.

1481
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,160
I just want to quickly thank my fellow board members

1482
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,132
for bringing this opportunity to my attention, the Department

1483
01:05:59,132 --> 01:06:00,840
of Public Works here at the City of Doral

1484
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,298
for answering many of our questions

1485
01:06:02,298 --> 01:06:07,680
about this, and Madam City Clerk and Miss Juanita Cruz

1486
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,300
for welcoming me this morning.

1487
01:06:09,300 --> 01:06:11,180
This is my first City Council meeting,

1488
01:06:11,180 --> 01:06:15,720
so I'm really happy to be here and be with you all.

1489
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:19,880
Our Advisory Board is asking to expand ridesharing options

1490
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,860
to individuals with disabilities,

1491
01:06:21,860 --> 01:06:25,460
specifically at free or low cost,

1492
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,800
specifically looking at providing services

1493
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:34,480
for individuals to travel to medical appointments or job

1494
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,280
opportunities as city residents to city places.

1495
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,840
These are not necessarily meant to replace the Doral Trolley

1496
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:48,440
system or the Special Transportation Services.

1497
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,940
Both services are great.

1498
01:06:51,940 --> 01:06:54,540
As someone who has a visual impairment, I use both of them.

1499
01:06:54,540 --> 01:06:57,500
Every single day, I use the Trolley to get to the Metrorail.

1500
01:06:57,500 --> 01:07:00,820
And I use my STS card to use the Metrorail.

1501
01:07:00,820 --> 01:07:02,800
However, both have limitations.

1502
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,660
The [? Doral ?] Trolley has specific routes

1503
01:07:05,660 --> 01:07:07,800
that can't go everywhere.

1504
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:12,420
And the STS service that is meant to go to door to door

1505
01:07:12,420 --> 01:07:14,980
is constantly delayed and constantly has

1506
01:07:14,980 --> 01:07:16,700
its own challenges.

1507
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:21,540
And for someone trying to get to a job or a medical appointment

1508
01:07:21,540 --> 01:07:23,500
and being several hours delayed, you

1509
01:07:23,500 --> 01:07:27,220
can only imagine how challenging that could be.

1510
01:07:27,220 --> 01:07:30,780
Our simple ask here is that we ask that the City of Doral

1511
01:07:30,780 --> 01:07:34,980
explore opportunities to expand the Freebee ridesharing

1512
01:07:35,140 --> 01:07:37,300
program to people with disabilities

1513
01:07:37,300 --> 01:07:40,480
and specifically look at opportunities for demand,

1514
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,480
operational feasibility, and long-term sustainability,

1515
01:07:43,820 --> 01:07:45,820
specifically long-term cost.

1516
01:07:45,820 --> 01:07:50,330
We know that this could be an expensive program.

1517
01:07:50,330 --> 01:07:53,300
But we want to make sure that the demand is there,

1518
01:07:53,300 --> 01:07:55,930
that the opportunity to make this a successful program

1519
01:07:55,930 --> 01:07:57,110
would be there as well.

1520
01:07:57,110 --> 01:08:00,210
So that is our proposal at this moment.

1521
01:08:00,210 --> 01:08:02,450
And happy to answer any questions.

1522
01:08:02,450 --> 01:08:03,850
Thank you, Trevor.

1523
01:08:03,850 --> 01:08:08,200
Just to give some information on this-- so we have--

1524
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,970
I've been working with Public Works on this.

1525
01:08:10,970 --> 01:08:14,330
And we have had discussions about expanding it.

1526
01:08:14,330 --> 01:08:16,109
The question that hasn't been answered,

1527
01:08:16,109 --> 01:08:19,900
and what we're trying to understand better,

1528
01:08:19,900 --> 01:08:22,810
is to what level of capabilities we would allow,

1529
01:08:22,810 --> 01:08:25,850
whether the rider will be by themselves, accompanied

1530
01:08:25,850 --> 01:08:29,500
with someone, because we understand the request of going

1531
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:30,430
to work and things like that.

1532
01:08:30,430 --> 01:08:32,770
That's someone who's a little more independent.

1533
01:08:32,770 --> 01:08:35,569
But we have no way of limiting someone

1534
01:08:35,569 --> 01:08:39,649
putting someone with less capabilities in a vehicle

1535
01:08:39,649 --> 01:08:41,189
on their own to go somewhere.

1536
01:08:41,189 --> 01:08:45,649
So we're trying to figure out how to best service and serve

1537
01:08:45,649 --> 01:08:51,649
those with the independence that they would be able to.

1538
01:08:52,670 --> 01:08:58,700
We're working with Freebee on what the disability allow--

1539
01:08:59,149 --> 01:09:01,510
what they would allow as a disability for a person

1540
01:09:01,510 --> 01:09:03,430
to be alone, or if they would have to say

1541
01:09:03,430 --> 01:09:04,649
you have to be accompanied.

1542
01:09:04,649 --> 01:09:06,560
So it is something that's being looked at.

1543
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,810
And then, obviously, the funding is the biggest issue.

1544
01:09:08,810 --> 01:09:09,790
It is very costly.

1545
01:09:09,790 --> 01:09:12,609
And it does cost us a lot right now even for the seniors.

1546
01:09:12,609 --> 01:09:16,390
So we are currently reviewing that and seeing how we can best

1547
01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:19,900
fund the program and expand it.

1548
01:09:19,900 --> 01:09:22,270
We do subsidize a lot of special needs programming now.

1549
01:09:22,270 --> 01:09:24,950
There's a lot of changes potentially coming down

1550
01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:27,930
from Tallahassee on our revenue structures.

1551
01:09:27,930 --> 01:09:32,270
So we are looking into all those capabilities, advertising,

1552
01:09:32,270 --> 01:09:32,850
so on.

1553
01:09:32,850 --> 01:09:36,710
So it is something that has been in discussion for some time.

1554
01:09:36,710 --> 01:09:39,240
And I know that we would all be very supportive of it.

1555
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,149
We're just looking at what's the best model forward

1556
01:09:41,149 --> 01:09:45,529
to be able to provide some expansion to the program.

1557
01:09:45,529 --> 01:09:46,149
Great.

1558
01:09:46,149 --> 01:09:48,149
Any additional questions?

1559
01:09:50,410 --> 01:09:51,893
We'll let you all know very soon.

1560
01:09:51,893 --> 01:09:53,310
Hopefully, there'll be a response.

1561
01:09:53,310 --> 01:09:55,910
But I know Public Works is actively working on it.

1562
01:09:55,910 --> 01:09:59,610
And they did hear your request that would be coming forward

1563
01:09:59,610 --> 01:10:00,710
as part of the agenda.

1564
01:10:00,710 --> 01:10:01,210
Excellent.

1565
01:10:01,210 --> 01:10:02,210
We really appreciate it.

1566
01:10:02,210 --> 01:10:04,950
Madam Manager, anything you would like to add on that?

1567
01:10:04,950 --> 01:10:05,450
No?

1568
01:10:05,450 --> 01:10:06,500
OK.

1569
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:06,550
All right.

1570
01:10:06,550 --> 01:10:07,590
Thank you, Trevor.

1571
01:10:07,590 --> 01:10:07,690
Thank you.

1572
01:10:07,690 --> 01:10:08,440
Thank you so much.

1573
01:10:08,440 --> 01:10:10,970
We'll keep you up to date.

1574
01:10:10,970 --> 01:10:11,830
All right.

1575
01:10:11,830 --> 01:10:12,950
Move on to the next item.

1576
01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:14,930
City Manager's Report.

1577
01:10:14,930 --> 01:10:16,310
Madam City Manager?

1578
01:10:16,310 --> 01:10:16,810
Hi.

1579
01:10:16,810 --> 01:10:17,310
Yes.

1580
01:10:17,310 --> 01:10:18,490
Good morning.

1581
01:10:18,490 --> 01:10:24,170
So I wanted to just bring a few-- a couple things

1582
01:10:24,170 --> 01:10:26,570
to the Council's attention.

1583
01:10:27,290 --> 01:10:30,900
It's with great honor that I report that the City of Doral

1584
01:10:30,900 --> 01:10:32,850
is in receipt of the prestigious Government Finance Officers

1585
01:10:32,850 --> 01:10:35,850
Association Triple Crown Award for 2024.

1586
01:10:37,730 --> 01:10:40,730
So the 2024 Triple Crown Award recognizes

1587
01:10:40,730 --> 01:10:44,840
governments that have achieved the following GFOA awards.

1588
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,640
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial

1589
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:53,400
Reporting for the FY 2023 ACFR, the Popular Annual Financial

1590
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:58,200
Reporting Award, and the Distinguished Budget

1591
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:02,400
Presentation Award for FY '25/'26 budget.

1592
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,120
So Doral is just one of 441 governments

1593
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:08,760
to achieve this special recognition

1594
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,500
for fiscal year ending 2024.

1595
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:12,200
The Triple Crown designation represents

1596
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,840
a significant achievement.

1597
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,760
To qualify, each entity must meet

1598
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,380
the high standards of all three separate award programs.

1599
01:11:18,380 --> 01:11:20,720
Each award program recognizes governments

1600
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,560
that produce reports which communicate

1601
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,800
their financial stories in a transparent manner

1602
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:26,653
and meet applicable standards.

1603
01:11:26,653 --> 01:11:28,320
So I would like to take this opportunity

1604
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,800
to express my gratitude to the entire Finance

1605
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,800
team for their hard work and dedication.

1606
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,780
We have commended them for these awards before.

1607
01:11:37,780 --> 01:11:39,780
[APPLAUSE]

1608
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:47,980
In addition to that, I'm also pleased to share

1609
01:11:47,980 --> 01:11:51,780
that Doral Central Park project has officially earned the Gold

1610
01:11:51,780 --> 01:11:55,420
certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition.

1611
01:11:55,420 --> 01:11:56,940
Although the project was originally

1612
01:11:56,940 --> 01:12:00,153
designed to achieve only the Silver certification,

1613
01:12:00,153 --> 01:12:01,820
the dedication and collaborative efforts

1614
01:12:01,820 --> 01:12:05,660
of the City of Doral team followed us to exceed that goal.

1615
01:12:05,660 --> 01:12:07,788
Through strategic coordination, careful planning,

1616
01:12:07,788 --> 01:12:09,580
and strong commitment to sustainable design

1617
01:12:09,580 --> 01:12:11,260
and construction practices, the project

1618
01:12:11,260 --> 01:12:13,880
achieved the higher Gold certification.

1619
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,980
This recognition is a significant accomplishment

1620
01:12:15,980 --> 01:12:17,660
for the city and reflects the hard work

1621
01:12:17,660 --> 01:12:19,500
of everyone involved in delivering

1622
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:22,860
a high-quality, environmentally responsible project that

1623
01:12:22,860 --> 01:12:25,620
will benefit our community for years to come.

1624
01:12:25,620 --> 01:12:28,500
I'd like to congratulate and thank

1625
01:12:28,500 --> 01:12:31,260
Lazaro Quintero and the entire project team

1626
01:12:31,260 --> 01:12:32,880
for this outstanding achievement.

1627
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,560
They do have an award that was sent to them,

1628
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,500
so I'd like for them to come and take a picture with you

1629
01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:40,670
if possible.

1630
01:12:40,670 --> 01:12:41,170
Of course.

1631
01:12:41,170 --> 01:12:41,690
Thank you.

1632
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:42,630

1633
01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:44,630
[APPLAUSE]

1634
01:12:45,930 --> 01:12:49,900
We'll do it right when we wrap up-- let's finish the reports.

1635
01:12:49,900 --> 01:12:49,590
Yes.

1636
01:12:49,590 --> 01:12:50,490
Yes.

1637
01:12:50,490 --> 01:12:52,530
Anything else, City Manager?

1638
01:12:52,530 --> 01:12:53,470
No, that's it, Mayor.

1639
01:12:53,470 --> 01:12:53,830
Thank you.

1640
01:12:53,830 --> 01:12:54,330
OK.

1641
01:12:54,330 --> 01:12:55,690
Madam City Clerk, next item.

1643
01:12:56,907 --> 01:12:57,490
City Attorney.

1644
01:12:57,490 --> 01:12:58,510
Mr. City Attorney?

1645
01:12:58,510 --> 01:12:59,850
Nothing to report, Madam Mayor.

1646
01:12:59,850 --> 01:13:01,310
OK, no sessions to call.

1647
01:13:01,310 --> 01:13:02,150
No sessions to call.

1648
01:13:02,150 --> 01:13:02,890
OK.

1649
01:13:02,890 --> 01:13:05,390
Madam City Clerk, your report's always so--

1650
01:13:05,390 --> 01:13:06,350
It's very lengthy.

1651
01:13:06,350 --> 01:13:07,410
It's attached.

1652
01:13:07,410 --> 01:13:08,270
OK, perfect.

1653
01:13:08,270 --> 01:13:08,877
Thank you.

1654
01:13:08,877 --> 01:13:09,710
Thank you very much.

1655
01:13:09,710 --> 01:13:10,270
All right.

1656
01:13:10,270 --> 01:13:12,910
That exhausts our morning council meeting agenda.

1657
01:13:12,910 --> 01:13:14,270
Do I have a motion to recess?

1658
01:13:14,270 --> 01:13:15,310
Motion.

1659
01:13:15,310 --> 01:13:17,150
Motion to recess by Councilman Pineyro.

1660
01:13:17,150 --> 01:13:17,650

Aye.

1664
01:13:20,170 --> 01:13:20,390
Aye.

1665
01:13:20,390 --> 01:13:22,307
We'll see you back here for our protocol hour.

1666
01:13:22,307 --> 01:13:25,907
And then our Council meeting OPA, 5:30.

1667
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:27,700
Thank you very much.

1668
01:13:27,700 --> 01:13:29,700
See you later.

1669
01:13:33,970 --> 01:13:35,330
All right.

1670
01:13:35,330 --> 01:13:36,470
Good evening, everyone.

1671
01:13:36,470 --> 01:13:38,670
Welcome to our regular scheduled Council meeting.

1672
01:13:38,670 --> 01:13:41,670

Please remember to silence your phones.

1676
01:13:46,770 --> 01:13:48,437
And if you must take a call, please step

1677
01:13:48,437 --> 01:13:51,300
outside so that we can keep an orderly and respectful

1678
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:53,270
atmosphere while we have our meeting.

1679
01:13:53,270 --> 01:13:53,770
All right.

1680
01:13:53,770 --> 01:13:55,187

Present.

1691
01:14:03,930 --> 01:14:04,430
Mayor, we have quorum.

01:14:04,430 --> 01:14:06,310
Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance,

1693
01:14:06,310 --> 01:14:08,710
led by Councilwoman Porras.

1694
01:14:09,470 --> 01:14:13,270
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,

1695
01:14:13,270 --> 01:14:17,350
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,

1696
01:14:17,350 --> 01:14:21,550
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

1697
01:14:26,590 --> 01:14:27,390
OK.

1698
01:14:27,390 --> 01:14:28,690
Agenda/Order of Business.

1699
01:14:28,690 --> 01:14:34,363
Madam City Manager, Mr. City Attorney, any changes from you?

1700
01:14:34,363 --> 01:14:35,280
No, Mayor, we're fine.

1701
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:35,780
No, Mayor.

1702
01:14:35,780 --> 01:14:36,340
Thank you.

1703
01:14:36,340 --> 01:14:40,220
I have had some requests to make some arrangements in the Agenda

1704
01:14:40,220 --> 01:14:41,200
since it is a long one.

1705
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,600
So if you all will indulge some of our requests.

1706
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,800
We have been asked to hear item 20G,

1707
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:49,980
which is the City's Comprehensive Plan,

1708
01:14:49,980 --> 01:14:51,380
first reading again.

1709
01:14:51,380 --> 01:14:53,780
As our first item, should be very quick.

1710
01:14:53,780 --> 01:14:55,240
So we'll hear that first.

1711
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,340
And then we're going to move item 20Q right after 20E since

1712
01:14:59,340 --> 01:15:03,620
the applicant has several items and would like to have them all

1713
01:15:03,620 --> 01:15:05,460
taken up right after the other.

1714
01:15:05,460 --> 01:15:07,160
If there's no objections to that,

1715
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,260
those will be the changes to the Agenda/Order of Business.

1716
01:15:10,260 --> 01:15:11,302
Is everyone OK with that?

1717
01:15:11,302 --> 01:15:11,802
Yup.

1718
01:15:11,802 --> 01:15:12,460
Yes?

1719
01:15:12,460 --> 01:15:12,760
OK.

1720
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,843
Madam Clerk, make the notes on the Agenda, please.

1721
01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:15,380
Yes, ma'am.

1722
01:15:15,380 --> 01:15:16,180
All right.

1723
01:15:16,180 --> 01:15:22,180
And we will go ahead and move into Public Comments.

1724
01:15:22,540 --> 01:15:24,560
We will now open the floor for public comments.

1725
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,100
Each speaker will have three minutes

1726
01:15:26,100 --> 01:15:28,400
to address any item on today's agenda

1727
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,140
or any matter related to the City of Doral.

1728
01:15:31,140 --> 01:15:32,580
Please begin by stating your name

1729
01:15:32,580 --> 01:15:35,400
and address for the record to ensure that you're

1730
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:36,813
registered with the City Clerk.

1731
01:15:36,813 --> 01:15:39,480
We'll first hear from those who have preregistered with our City

1732
01:15:39,480 --> 01:15:42,200
Clerk, followed by any walk-in speakers.

1733
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,660
Once all of the preregistered speakers have spoken,

1734
01:15:44,660 --> 01:15:47,420
I will mention that this is your final reasonable opportunity,

1735
01:15:47,420 --> 01:15:49,000
and you can approach the podium.

1736
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,660
As a reminder, in accordance with City Code of Conduct,

1737
01:15:51,660 --> 01:15:54,820
we ask that you make all remarks in a respectful, courteous,

1738
01:15:54,820 --> 01:15:55,900
and orderly manner.

1739
01:15:55,900 --> 01:15:57,660
Personal attacks, offensive language,

1740
01:15:57,660 --> 01:16:00,180
disruptive behavior will not be permitted.

1741
01:16:00,180 --> 01:16:03,600
Please, let's work together to maintain a productive forum that

1742
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,340
is constructive for all.

1743
01:16:05,340 --> 01:16:07,210
I will go ahead and open up the floor

1744
01:16:07,210 --> 01:16:08,960
to preregistered speakers, which I believe

1745
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,780
we have none at this time.

1746
01:16:10,780 --> 01:16:13,840
So anyone who would like to speak on any item related

1747
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,660
to the City Council, germane to the city, or on this agenda,

1748
01:16:17,660 --> 01:16:20,600
please approach the podium.

1749
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,462
Being none, Public Comments is now closed.

1750
01:16:31,462 --> 01:16:32,920
Madam Clerk, let the record reflect

1751
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,920
no one has chosen to speak at this time.

1752
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,560
And we'll go ahead and move into our Public Hearing items.

1753
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,180
Madam Mayor, may I please swear in all the witnesses

1754
01:16:39,180 --> 01:16:40,280
for all the public hearings?

1755
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:40,840
Yes, ma'am.

1756
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,460

1757
01:16:43,460 --> 01:16:45,460
tonight, please stand up, raise your right hand,

1758
01:16:45,460 --> 01:16:47,860
and repeat after me.

1759
01:16:48,140 --> 01:16:51,140
I do solemnly swear that the information that I'm

1760
01:16:51,140 --> 01:16:54,200
about to present shall be the truth and nothing but the truth.

1761
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,600

Tonight, we're presenting the ordinance

1795
01:18:18,250 --> 01:18:20,490
for the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report

1796
01:18:20,490 --> 01:18:22,130
of the Comprehensive Plan.

1797
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:24,670
It's a required, state-mandated update.

1798
01:18:24,670 --> 01:18:26,310
I'll walk you through what the year is,

1799
01:18:26,310 --> 01:18:29,750
what changed in your Comp Plan, and how we engage the community

1800
01:18:29,750 --> 01:18:32,727
and what happens after tonight.

1801
01:18:32,727 --> 01:18:34,310
So two terms that you're going to hear

1802
01:18:34,310 --> 01:18:36,630
throughout this presentation, I'm

1803
01:18:36,630 --> 01:18:38,110
going to define them up front.

1804
01:18:38,110 --> 01:18:39,690
The first is the comprehensive plan.

1805
01:18:39,690 --> 01:18:42,830
That's the City's long-range policy document.

1806
01:18:42,830 --> 01:18:45,870
It sets the city's goals, objectives, and policies

1807
01:18:45,870 --> 01:18:47,580
and its growth pattern.

1808
01:18:47,580 --> 01:18:49,350
Every land development regulation and every development

1809
01:18:49,350 --> 01:18:52,150
order has to be consistent with your Comprehensive Plan.

1810
01:18:52,150 --> 01:18:54,850
The second is the Evaluation and Appraisal Report,

1811
01:18:54,850 --> 01:18:57,130
which is a periodic checkup of that plan.

1812
01:18:57,130 --> 01:19:01,700
State law requires that it's done at least every seven years.

1813
01:19:01,700 --> 01:19:03,710
We evaluate whether the plan still reflects the current state

1814
01:19:03,710 --> 01:19:06,500
law and the local conditions, notify the state,

1815
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:08,930
and then adopt whatever amendments are required.

1816
01:19:08,930 --> 01:19:11,870
In short, the Comp Plan is the document.

1817
01:19:11,870 --> 01:19:13,750
And the EAR review tells us what we need

1818
01:19:13,750 --> 01:19:16,750
to update every seven years.

1819
01:19:17,390 --> 01:19:22,270
Your last Comp Plan update was in 2016, a holistic Comp Plan

1820
01:19:22,270 --> 01:19:22,890
update.

1821
01:19:22,890 --> 01:19:24,770
You've done minor updates since then.

1822
01:19:24,770 --> 01:19:28,300
But the EAR process and the last major Comp Plan update

1823
01:19:28,300 --> 01:19:29,700
was done in 2016.

1824
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:33,100
So that's 10 years of development pattern

1825
01:19:33,100 --> 01:19:35,100
that has changed.

1826
01:19:35,100 --> 01:19:37,580
It's a decade of growth, development, and infrastructure

1827
01:19:37,580 --> 01:19:38,380
demand.

1828
01:19:38,380 --> 01:19:42,220
And we just need to catch up through the policy document

1829
01:19:42,220 --> 01:19:46,763
and update that and then have a 25-year projection forward.

1830
01:19:46,763 --> 01:19:48,180
So the purpose of the ordinance is

1831
01:19:48,180 --> 01:19:50,380
to amend the Comp Plan so it stays consistent

1832
01:19:50,380 --> 01:19:53,380
with local state requirements and reflects where

1833
01:19:53,380 --> 01:19:56,200
the City is actually at today.

1834
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:57,740
And so through this effort, we're

1835
01:19:57,740 --> 01:19:59,500
updating every element, objective,

1836
01:19:59,500 --> 01:20:05,500
policy in the Plan that was reviewed and required updating.

1837
01:20:06,140 --> 01:20:10,600
So we updated or amended your 10 core elements,

1838
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,400
which is resiliency, your land use-- future land use policy,

1839
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,800
transportation, housing, infrastructure, conservation,

1840
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,480
parks and recs, education, intergovernmental coordination,

1841
01:20:20,300 --> 01:20:22,300
and capital improvements.

1842
01:20:22,340 --> 01:20:23,840
There are two new elements as part

1843
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,720
of the Comp Plan, which is your economic development policy.

1844
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,920
Several years ago, FIU conducted a project

1845
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,240
where they looked at potential economic development policies

1846
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,360
that the City could pursue.

1847
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,600
And so we're rolling that into the Comprehensive Plan.

1848
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:40,560
And then the property rights element

1849
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,560
was adopted by reference in 2022.

1850
01:20:43,712 --> 01:20:45,920
Through this effort, we're incorporating the property

1851
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,920
rights element into the larger document, as well as the data

1852
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:50,760
and analysis that goes with it.

1853
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,560
We've also taken the Water Supply Plan,

1854
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:58,107
the 10-year horizon, and brought it up to date.

1855
01:20:58,107 --> 01:21:00,440
So through this process, there was community engagement,

1856
01:21:00,440 --> 01:21:02,520
which is also required.

1857
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,520
The first was a community workshop held

1858
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,160
at Doral Central on January 20.

1859
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,840
The second was a tabling event at the Farmers Market

1860
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:11,340
at Doral Central again.

1861
01:21:11,340 --> 01:21:13,880
That one had a little bit more interaction and activity

1862
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,300
from the residents.

1863
01:21:15,300 --> 01:21:17,640
And we really appreciated their input.

1864
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,320
And then the third, we had QR codes at both events

1865
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,640
and then also posted throughout city facilities,

1866
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,660
City Hall, at your parks departments

1867
01:21:25,660 --> 01:21:28,460
so that the community can engage from a remote setting

1868
01:21:28,460 --> 01:21:29,780
on their cell phones.

1869
01:21:29,780 --> 01:21:33,600
So we took all of that engagement and commentary,

1870
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,100
and we rolled it into the document

1871
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:41,220
as we looked at the policies and objectives to update.

1872
01:21:41,220 --> 01:21:44,880
So this all probably sounds a little bit familiar.

1873
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,980
I was here on April 10, doing a very similar presentation.

1874
01:21:48,980 --> 01:21:51,120
At that time, the document was adopted.

1875
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,560
We transmitted to the state.

1876
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:53,440
The state came back.

1877
01:21:53,440 --> 01:21:58,140
They wanted some changes and requested that we go back

1878
01:21:58,140 --> 01:22:00,200
to first reading in LPA.

1879
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,420
So we're doing so.

1880
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,260
Where we land next is after tonight,

1881
01:22:08,440 --> 01:22:10,220
if we have your support to proceed,

1882
01:22:10,220 --> 01:22:14,580
we'll go ahead and retransmit to the state again.

1883
01:22:14,580 --> 01:22:17,840
They'll go through a 30-day review cycle, submit comments.

1884
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,170
We'll address the comments, then we come back for second reading,

1885
01:22:21,170 --> 01:22:26,570
and then we retransmit again for another 30-day review.

1886
01:22:26,810 --> 01:22:30,570
We had a significant engagement between our staff

1887
01:22:30,570 --> 01:22:32,350
at Corradino and the City.

1888
01:22:32,350 --> 01:22:35,650
And so I just want to give a brief acknowledgment.

1889
01:22:35,650 --> 01:22:39,300
The Corradino Project Manager was Kathryn Lyon.

1890
01:22:39,300 --> 01:22:42,930
And we had Madison Hermida supporting on data analysis

1891
01:22:42,930 --> 01:22:44,930
and collection.

1892
01:22:44,970 --> 01:22:47,250
Your land use special counsel Valerie

1893
01:22:47,250 --> 01:22:48,990
Vicente looked at the document.

1894
01:22:48,990 --> 01:22:51,330
She did her legal sufficiency review.

1895
01:22:51,330 --> 01:22:54,270
And then, of course, most importantly is your departments.

1896
01:22:54,270 --> 01:22:56,290
Guillermo De Nacimiento, the Assistant Director

1897
01:22:56,290 --> 01:22:58,890
of Planning and Zoning, was the City's project manager,

1898
01:22:58,890 --> 01:23:00,850
shepherding this process, coordinating

1899
01:23:00,850 --> 01:23:01,918
between departments.

1900
01:23:01,918 --> 01:23:04,210
And then we had significant feedback from your Planning

1901
01:23:04,210 --> 01:23:07,770
and Zoning team, Public Works, Parks and Recs, Capital

1902
01:23:07,770 --> 01:23:11,370
Improvements, Economic Development, and Public Affairs

1903
01:23:11,850 --> 01:23:14,490
helping us with the notices and the social media posts

1904
01:23:14,490 --> 01:23:16,670
for those community workshops that we discussed.

1905
01:23:16,670 --> 01:23:19,190
So I just want to say thank you to all of those departments

1906
01:23:19,190 --> 01:23:20,630
and participation.

1907
01:23:20,630 --> 01:23:22,470
We couldn't do it without you.

1908
01:23:22,470 --> 01:23:25,700
And with that, thank you for your time.

1909
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:27,930
I ask for a recommendation of approval.

1910
01:23:27,930 --> 01:23:30,530
And then we can proceed with transmittal.

1911
01:23:30,530 --> 01:23:31,300
OK.

1912
01:23:31,300 --> 01:23:33,500
Do you have any comments?

1913
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:35,570
Madam Manager, I have a quick question.

1914
01:23:35,570 --> 01:23:36,700
Sure.

1915
01:23:36,700 --> 01:23:40,910
Are we required to do all of the public engagement stuff again?

1916
01:23:40,910 --> 01:23:41,750
Is that not--

1917
01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:42,250
No, it's--

1918
01:23:42,250 --> 01:23:43,290
It's not being affected?

1919
01:23:43,290 --> 01:23:44,540
Yeah, it's not being affected.

1920
01:23:44,540 --> 01:23:47,510
So the language that's being updated or changed

1921
01:23:47,510 --> 01:23:50,270
was more based on what exactly?

1922
01:23:50,270 --> 01:23:51,830
Yeah, there were technical nuances

1923
01:23:51,830 --> 01:23:54,790
that the state felt were maybe a little bit more

1924
01:23:54,790 --> 01:23:56,790
restrictive or burdensome.

1925
01:23:57,110 --> 01:23:59,950
I had an in-depth conversation with the Manager's office

1926
01:23:59,950 --> 01:24:02,350
and your legal team.

1927
01:24:03,370 --> 01:24:06,190
We determined collectively none of those policies we were

1928
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:07,900
willing to die on the hill for.

1929
01:24:07,900 --> 01:24:09,150
We can always come back later.

1930
01:24:09,150 --> 01:24:10,110
We roll them back?

1931
01:24:10,110 --> 01:24:12,110
Yeah.

1932
01:24:12,310 --> 01:24:14,810
But not detrimental to the changes to the Comp Plan?

1933
01:24:14,810 --> 01:24:15,510
Not at all.

1934
01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:18,460
And we're certain that the state will be--

1935
01:24:18,460 --> 01:24:21,940
I mean, it was in line with what they recommended we review?

1936
01:24:21,940 --> 01:24:22,440
Yes.

1937
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:23,857
We took all their recommendations.

1938
01:24:23,857 --> 01:24:26,660
And we just went line by line and accepted

1939
01:24:26,660 --> 01:24:27,640
what they asked for.

1940
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:28,140
[INAUDIBLE]

1941
01:24:28,140 --> 01:24:31,660
It was a little bit of an overreach, but--

1942
01:24:31,660 --> 01:24:34,260
do you have any other questions?

1943
01:24:34,260 --> 01:24:34,880
No?

1944
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:35,540
All right.

1945
01:24:35,540 --> 01:24:36,500
Motion.

1946
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:37,800
Motion to approve by Councilwoman Reinoso.

1947
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:38,300
Second.

1948
01:24:38,300 --> 01:24:39,903
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

1949
01:24:39,903 --> 01:24:41,320
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

1950
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:44,200
Motion to approve Ordinance Number 2026-20 on first reading

1951
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,940
made by Councilwoman Reinoso, seconded by Councilman Pineyro.

1952
01:24:45,940 --> 01:24:46,960
Councilwoman Reinoso?

1953
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:47,140
Yes.

1954
01:24:47,140 --> 01:24:47,980
Councilman Pineyro?

1955
01:24:47,980 --> 01:24:48,180
Yes.

1956
01:24:48,180 --> 01:24:49,180
Councilwoman Porras?

1957
01:24:49,180 --> 01:24:49,400
Yes.

1958
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:50,600
Vice Mayor Cabral?

1959
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:50,300
Yes.

1960
01:24:50,300 --> 01:24:50,800
Mayor Fraga?

1961
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:51,300
Yes.

1962
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:52,260
Motion passes.

1963
01:24:52,260 --> 01:24:52,880
Thank you.

1964
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:53,380
Thank you.

1965
01:24:53,380 --> 01:24:54,700
See you soon.

1966
01:24:54,700 --> 01:24:55,200
All right.

1967
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:56,200
Next item, Madam Clerk.

1968
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,700
We're going back to item 20A, A resolution of the Mayor

1969
01:24:58,700 --> 01:25:00,200
and the City Council of the City of Doral, Florida,

1970
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,600
approving the site plan and special exception use permit

1971
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,143
for plus or minus 8,000-square-foot fitness/sports

1972
01:25:04,143 --> 01:25:06,460
facility and outdoor soccer fields located on a vacant

1973
01:25:06,460 --> 01:25:08,400
parcel in the City of Doral, Florida,

1974
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:12,620
identified with a Miami-Dade Folio Number 35-3022-000-0981,

1975
01:25:12,620 --> 01:25:16,212
pursuant to Section 68-849(B)(5) of the City's Land Development

1976
01:25:16,212 --> 01:25:17,920
Code and providing for an effective date.

1977
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:18,740
All right.

1978
01:25:18,740 --> 01:25:20,740
Let me go ahead and do the Public Hearing first.

1979
01:25:20,740 --> 01:25:22,560
Mr. Magrisso, thank you.

1980
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:26,583
Opening up Public Comments for item 20A, also known as 26-6681.

1981
01:25:26,583 --> 01:25:29,000
Anyone who would like to speak on this item, and this item

1982
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,000
alone, please approach the podium.

1983
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,620
Seeing no public comments for this item,

1984
01:25:38,620 --> 01:25:40,200
we are now closing the Public Comments portion.

1985
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:40,920
Madam Clerk, let the record reflect

1986
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:42,980
no one has chosen to speak at this time.

1987
01:25:42,980 --> 01:25:47,520
And I will take any ex parte communications on this item.

1988
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:48,200
No.

1989
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:48,320
No?

1990
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,400
I did have some ex parte communication

1991
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:50,940
during the workshop.

1992
01:25:50,940 --> 01:25:52,980
I happened to walk in and meet the applicant.

1993
01:25:52,980 --> 01:25:55,600
And I know that they've worked hard on this.

1994
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,160
It will not affect my decision on it.

1995
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,120
And we're happy that we're here today.

1996
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:02,440
Let's move forward.

1997
01:26:02,440 --> 01:26:04,440
Mr. Magrisso?

1998
01:26:05,480 --> 01:26:06,520
OK.

1999
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,680
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council, Madam Manager.

2000
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:12,960
I think I have a presentation.

2001
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:17,400
Perfect OK, so this is a fitness/sports facility.

2002
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:21,120
It is located right back here on 56th Street,

2003
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,480
on the corner of Northwest 82nd Avenue.

2004
01:26:23,480 --> 01:26:25,880
And it's approximately 0.86 acres.

2005
01:26:26,860 --> 01:26:31,420
The land use around it and the zoning districts are pretty much

2006
01:26:31,420 --> 01:26:35,140
all industrial districts and future land use categories.

2007
01:26:35,140 --> 01:26:40,300
These are a couple of renderings of the proposal pursuant

2008
01:26:40,300 --> 01:26:43,860
to 53-128, a Special Exception is required for this use

2009
01:26:43,860 --> 01:26:45,700
in the location.

2010
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,800
And they're coming in for site plan approval as well.

2011
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,340
So you can see that there are two pitches on the proposed site

2012
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:55,340
plan, accompanied by a facility--

2013
01:26:55,460 --> 01:26:57,800
training facility in the back of the pitch.

2014
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,000
Currently, it's a vacant lot.

2015
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,220
So this will all be incorporated within that vacant lot.

2016
01:27:03,220 --> 01:27:06,260
They went to workshop, as the Mayor said, on March 25.

2017
01:27:06,260 --> 01:27:08,400
The site plan evaluation standards,

2018
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:12,450
we have compliance with all relevant standards

2019
01:27:12,450 --> 01:27:16,650
and the standards for the Special Exception

2020
01:27:18,130 --> 01:27:22,650
saying all are approved of the relevant ones.

2021
01:27:22,650 --> 01:27:24,890
So with that, the staff recommends

2022
01:27:24,890 --> 01:27:27,730
approval of the proposed Special Exception and approval

2023
01:27:27,730 --> 01:27:30,130
of the site plan.

2024
01:27:30,542 --> 01:27:31,750
I haven't seen the applicant.

2025
01:27:31,750 --> 01:27:32,570
I don't know if the applicant's here.

2026
01:27:32,570 --> 01:27:33,487
I think they are here.

2027
01:27:33,487 --> 01:27:36,890
The applicant is here if you have any further questions

2028
01:27:36,890 --> 01:27:39,250
or if I can answer any questions you might have.

2029
01:27:39,250 --> 01:27:40,250
Thank you, Mr. Magrisso.

2030
01:27:40,250 --> 01:27:42,330
Would the applicant like to present

2031
01:27:42,330 --> 01:27:45,190
or have any comments to add?

2032
01:27:45,190 --> 01:27:46,850
You're not required to, but--

2033
01:27:46,850 --> 01:27:48,350
I wish I can present the project.

2034
01:27:48,350 --> 01:27:49,210
If not--

2035
01:27:49,210 --> 01:27:50,710
We'll leave it up to our colleagues.

2036
01:27:50,710 --> 01:27:52,250
Is there any comments or questions

2037
01:27:52,250 --> 01:27:55,850
about this project for the applicant?

2038
01:27:56,510 --> 01:27:57,210
No.

2039
01:27:57,210 --> 01:27:57,710
All right.

2040
01:27:57,710 --> 01:27:58,722
I think you're good.

2041
01:27:58,722 --> 01:28:00,430
If there's no more comments or questions,

2042
01:28:00,430 --> 01:28:01,590
I need a motion to approve.

2043
01:28:01,590 --> 01:28:02,900
Motion.

2044
01:28:02,900 --> 01:28:02,590
Motion.

2045
01:28:02,590 --> 01:28:04,632
Motion to approve by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

2046
01:28:04,632 --> 01:28:05,650
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

2047
01:28:05,650 --> 01:28:08,150
If there's no more debate, Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

2048
01:28:08,150 --> 01:28:09,990
Motion to approve moved by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

2049
01:28:09,990 --> 01:28:10,850
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

2050
01:28:10,850 --> 01:28:11,530
Councilman Pineyro?

2051
01:28:11,530 --> 01:28:11,710
Yes.

2052
01:28:11,710 --> 01:28:12,590
Councilwoman Reinoso?

2053
01:28:12,590 --> 01:28:13,900
Yes.

2054
01:28:13,900 --> 01:28:13,990
Councilwoman Porras?

2055
01:28:13,990 --> 01:28:14,790
Vice Mayor Cabral?

2056
01:28:14,790 --> 01:28:15,290
Yes.

2057
01:28:15,290 --> 01:28:15,870
Mayor Fraga?

2058
01:28:15,870 --> 01:28:16,370
Yes.

2059
01:28:16,370 --> 01:28:17,500
Motion passes.

2060
01:28:17,500 --> 01:28:17,550
All right.

2061
01:28:17,550 --> 01:28:18,470
Thank you very much.

2062
01:28:18,470 --> 01:28:19,870
Move on to the next item.

2063
01:28:19,870 --> 01:28:22,170
Item 20B, A resolution of the Mayor and City Council

2064
01:28:22,170 --> 01:28:24,712
of the City of Doral, Florida, approving a site plan for 8300

2065
01:28:24,712 --> 01:28:27,170
Invest LLC, for the property located at 8335 Northwest 56th

2066
01:28:27,170 --> 01:28:28,712
Street in the City of Doral, Florida,

2067
01:28:28,712 --> 01:28:31,510
pursuant to Section 53-184(F) of the City's Land Development Code

2068
01:28:31,510 --> 01:28:33,300
and providing for an effective date.

2069
01:28:33,300 --> 01:28:33,530
All right.

2070
01:28:33,530 --> 01:28:34,430
I'm going to go ahead and do Public

2071
01:28:34,430 --> 01:28:35,750
Hearing first, Mr. Magrisso.

2072
01:28:35,750 --> 01:28:38,853
Opening up Public Hearing for item 20B, also known as 26-6682.

2073
01:28:38,853 --> 01:28:41,270
Anyone who would like to speak on this item, and this item

2074
01:28:41,270 --> 01:28:44,270
alone, please approach the podium.

2075
01:28:48,910 --> 01:28:52,710
Showing no interest, I am closing the Public Hearing

2076
01:28:52,710 --> 01:28:54,572
portion for this item.

2077
01:28:54,572 --> 01:28:56,300
Madam Clerk, let the record reflect

2078
01:28:56,300 --> 01:28:58,700
no one has chosen to speak at this time.

2079
01:28:58,700 --> 01:29:01,190
And I will take any ex parte communication.

2080
01:29:01,190 --> 01:29:04,986
Has there been any ex parte communication?

2081
01:29:04,986 --> 01:29:06,880
Uh-uh.

2082
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:07,380
No?

2083
01:29:07,380 --> 01:29:08,240
All right.

2084
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:09,800
Mr. Magrisso?

2085
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:10,380
OK.

2086
01:29:10,380 --> 01:29:12,380
The presentation.

2087
01:29:14,460 --> 01:29:18,860
OK, so this is known as Mediterranea Center II.

2088
01:29:18,860 --> 01:29:20,860
They are here for a site plan approval.

2089
01:29:20,860 --> 01:29:25,600
It is located at 8335 Northwest 56th Street.

2090
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,400
And it is approximately 0.926 acres.

2091
01:29:29,580 --> 01:29:32,890
They went to workshop on February 24, 2025.

2092
01:29:32,890 --> 01:29:35,290
I think that is 6.

2093
01:29:35,500 --> 01:29:38,300
So this is pretty much located in a completely industrial

2094
01:29:38,300 --> 01:29:39,140
district.

2095
01:29:39,140 --> 01:29:42,340
All the surrounding areas north, south, east and west

2096
01:29:42,340 --> 01:29:44,860
have a future land use category of Industrial.

2097
01:29:44,860 --> 01:29:49,420
And they accompany a zoning district of Industrial as well.

2098
01:29:49,420 --> 01:29:52,620
This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Land

2099
01:29:52,620 --> 01:29:53,820
Development Code.

2100
01:29:53,820 --> 01:29:58,200
These are the existing conditions as you see them now.

2101
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,300
It is located adjacent to what is

2102
01:30:00,300 --> 01:30:02,860
known as Mediterranea I. They're just

2103
01:30:02,860 --> 01:30:07,280
building a pretty much mirror image of what is currently there

2104
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,800
on this vacant lot.

2105
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,280
Here's the site plan you see.

2106
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,800
Like I said, it's approximately one acre.

2107
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,120
It's going to have a modern architectural design

2108
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:20,320
for warehouse buildings with 24 parking spaces, landscaping,

2109
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,200
bicycle areas.

2110
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:27,440
These are elevations from the east and the west

2111
01:30:27,440 --> 01:30:31,400
and the south and the north.

2112
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:33,920
The site plan evaluation standards--

2113
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,880
complies with all relevant site plan evaluation standards.

2114
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:40,400
And the staff is recommending approval of the proposed site

2115
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:40,940
plan.

2116
01:30:40,940 --> 01:30:42,357
If you have any further questions,

2117
01:30:42,357 --> 01:30:44,100
I'm happy to answer it at this time.

2118
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:49,000
Is the applicant present, wanting to make any comments?

2119
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,480
It's not required, but if you're present-- if there's

2120
01:30:51,480 --> 01:30:55,360
any questions for the applicant or for Mr. Magrisso,

2121
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,850
now would be your time.

2122
01:30:57,850 --> 01:30:58,960
If there's no comments, questions, or debate,

2123
01:30:58,960 --> 01:30:59,660
I need a motion.

2124
01:30:59,660 --> 01:31:00,160
Motion.

2125
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,600
Motion to approve by Councilwoman Reinoso.

2126
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:03,100
Second.

2127
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:05,220
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

2128
01:31:05,220 --> 01:31:06,720
No more comments or questions.

2129
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:07,760
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

2130
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:09,400
Motion to approve moved by Councilwoman Reinoso,

2131
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:10,300

Councilwoman Reinoso?

2133
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:11,380
Yes.

2134
01:31:11,380 --> 01:31:12,180
Councilman Pineyro?

2135
01:31:12,180 --> 01:31:12,420
Yes.

2136
01:31:12,420 --> 01:31:13,340
Councilwoman Porras?

2137
01:31:13,340 --> 01:31:13,600
Yes.

2138
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:14,420
Vice Mayor Cabral?

2139
01:31:14,420 --> 01:31:14,920
Yes.

2140
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:15,460
Mayor Fraga?

2141
01:31:15,460 --> 01:31:15,960
Yes.

2142
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:16,600
Motion passes.

2143
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:17,360
OK, thank you very much.

2144
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:18,520
We move on to the next item.

2145
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,420
Item 20C, A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council

2146
01:31:20,420 --> 01:31:23,450
of the City of Doral, Florida, approving a site plan for CEDECO

2147
01:31:23,450 --> 01:31:25,250
41, LLC for a commercial development featuring

2148
01:31:25,250 --> 01:31:27,500
a pharmacy, retail storefronts, and a gas station with

2149
01:31:27,500 --> 01:31:30,660
an associated convenience store on a plus or minus 7.57-acre

2150
01:31:30,660 --> 01:31:33,500
vacant parcel, generally located on Northwest 41st Street between

2151
01:31:33,500 --> 01:31:36,540
Northwest 114th and 112th Avenue in the City of Doral, Florida,

2152
01:31:36,540 --> 01:31:41,820
identified with Miami-Dade Folio Number 35-3019-001-0370 pursuant

2153
01:31:41,820 --> 01:31:44,480
to Section 53-184(F) of the City's Land Development Code

2154
01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:45,980
and providing for an effective date.

2155
01:31:45,980 --> 01:31:46,960
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

2156
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,160
We're going to go ahead and open Public Comments for item 20C,

2157
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,560
also known as 26-6693.

2158
01:31:53,620 --> 01:31:56,200
Anyone who would like to speak on this item, and this item

2159
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,277
alone, please approach the podium.

2160
01:31:58,277 --> 01:31:59,860
Please remember that the three minutes

2161
01:31:59,860 --> 01:32:02,550
do apply for the public hearing items as well.

2162
01:32:02,550 --> 01:32:05,650
State your name and address for the record.

2163
01:32:05,650 --> 01:32:06,210
Yes.

2164
01:32:06,210 --> 01:32:07,300
Good evening.

2165
01:32:07,300 --> 01:32:09,410
My name is Orietta Carvalho.

2166
01:32:09,410 --> 01:32:13,610
My address, 11360 Northwest 42nd Terrace in Doral.

2167
01:32:16,900 --> 01:32:20,130
And I'm opposing about having a gas

2168
01:32:20,130 --> 01:32:23,770
station and a big convenience store there.

2169
01:32:23,770 --> 01:32:25,850
I'm not against about development.

2170
01:32:25,850 --> 01:32:30,130
But I would prefer office or something more

2171
01:32:30,130 --> 01:32:32,300
low-impact for the community.

2172
01:32:32,300 --> 01:32:34,710
I've been living there since 1997.

2173
01:32:34,710 --> 01:32:36,730
I do have a lot of health issues.

2174
01:32:36,730 --> 01:32:43,500
And having a gas station, the fume, the smell, and the noise

2175
01:32:43,500 --> 01:32:46,500
is giving you more stress.

2176
01:32:46,170 --> 01:32:47,870
[CRYING]

2177
01:32:47,870 --> 01:32:49,870
Sorry.

2178
01:32:51,690 --> 01:32:57,900
And then I did my research behind the Navarro.

2179
01:32:58,100 --> 01:33:00,630
And you can smell the odours.

2180
01:33:00,630 --> 01:33:06,300
I have photo of those big dumped garbage can.

2181
01:33:06,670 --> 01:33:11,750
And that will bring more water, rodent, rats coming over

2182
01:33:11,750 --> 01:33:13,750
to our community.

2183
01:33:13,950 --> 01:33:18,630
And we have 10 houses which the master bedroom

2184
01:33:18,630 --> 01:33:20,790
will be facing the community.

2185
01:33:20,790 --> 01:33:24,990
Even if they want to do 20-feet--

2186
01:33:25,910 --> 01:33:27,470
how you say that?

2187
01:33:27,470 --> 01:33:28,510
20-feet--

2188
01:33:28,510 --> 01:33:29,100
Trees?

2189
01:33:29,100 --> 01:33:32,300
--trees, it will not be enough.

2190
01:33:32,300 --> 01:33:34,700
They need to have big walls.

2191
01:33:34,700 --> 01:33:38,830
And what we going to be seeing are garbage can.

2192
01:33:38,830 --> 01:33:44,190
And then the gasoline, they're going to be open 24 hours.

2193
01:33:44,190 --> 01:33:48,300
We have the turnpike people going north and south.

2194
01:33:48,300 --> 01:33:50,100
There's going to be a busy place.

2195
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:54,130
We get already a lot of traffic on 41 and 114,

2196
01:33:54,130 --> 01:33:56,710
112 because there's a school there.

2197
01:33:56,710 --> 01:34:00,460
So I don't know if when they did the measuring was

2198
01:34:00,460 --> 01:34:04,240
during no school time or after traffic time.

2199
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,660
So I request the City to do the inspection

2200
01:34:07,660 --> 01:34:10,540
to see how bad the traffic is there

2201
01:34:10,540 --> 01:34:16,280
a lot of the time and people trying to cut to go faster.

2202
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:20,000
Another thing is our community has a lot of children.

2203
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,200
We have the pool will be facing to that side.

2204
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,940
So the safety, there's so much concern.

2205
01:34:26,940 --> 01:34:30,740
And I'm opposed of that and have the City

2206
01:34:30,740 --> 01:34:34,000
to do the inspection about the smell and the garbage cans.

2207
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,860
So thank you so much.

2208
01:34:36,860 --> 01:34:39,860
OK, thank you very much.

2209
01:34:40,508 --> 01:34:42,300
Anyone else who would like to speak, please

2210
01:34:42,300 --> 01:34:44,300
approach the podium.

2211
01:34:49,580 --> 01:34:50,200
Good evening.

2212
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:51,800
My name is Werner Vonblon.

2213
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:56,000
I'm at 11244 Northwest 42nd Terrace in Doral,

2214
01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,560
the Hawksnest community there.

2215
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,520
Just picking up on the point of the previous speaker.

2216
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,400
Right now, the understanding is that they

2217
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,200
want to put a chain-link fence between ourselves

2218
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:10,920
and the new development.

2219
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,720
So from what I've seen along 41st Street,

2220
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,320
there's walls behind each commercial center

2221
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:19,420
that's developed.

2222
01:35:19,420 --> 01:35:22,720
So I would ask the developers to look at that and for yourselves

2223
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:26,540
to, let's say, put some interest in putting a wall versus that.

2224
01:35:26,540 --> 01:35:30,000
That also addresses the issues of rodents and so

2225
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,000
on versus a chain-link fence.

2226
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,640
It's generally understood that the owner

2227
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,880
or the owners of the property can develop that.

2228
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:40,880
That's well understood.

2229
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:44,615
But there will be a large impact on traffic.

2230
01:35:44,615 --> 01:35:47,240
Now, I'm not sure when they're doing the studies they're taking

2231
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:50,320
into account the huge complex that's been built on the other

2232
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,368
side of 41st Street, which is basically vacant right now.

2233
01:35:53,368 --> 01:35:54,910
So once that's developed, we're going

2234
01:35:54,910 --> 01:35:58,700
to have that additional traffic moving through that--

2235
01:35:58,700 --> 01:36:01,700
specifically 112th and 41st Street.

2236
01:36:01,700 --> 01:36:05,700
The entrance to the gasoline station, one entrance.

2237
01:36:05,700 --> 01:36:08,910
So let's say vehicles coming on 112th heading north will have

2238
01:36:08,910 --> 01:36:09,842
to make a turn.

2239
01:36:09,842 --> 01:36:11,550
And they'll have to go across three lanes

2240
01:36:11,550 --> 01:36:14,590
to make-- take the right into the gasoline station.

2241
01:36:14,590 --> 01:36:18,830
So that corner's had a lot of accidents in the past.

2242
01:36:18,830 --> 01:36:20,530
Maybe look at that history as well.

2243
01:36:20,530 --> 01:36:23,700
With additional traffic, with the additional street lanes

2244
01:36:23,700 --> 01:36:24,710
going through, it would be something

2245
01:36:24,710 --> 01:36:27,710
of interest in your studies.

2246
01:36:28,710 --> 01:36:32,910
Yeah, nobody wants a gasoline station next to the community.

2247
01:36:32,910 --> 01:36:36,870
Speaking for the community, that's understood there.

2248
01:36:36,870 --> 01:36:41,700
Car washes, timing of deliveries of gasoline

2249
01:36:42,550 --> 01:36:44,310
and all that will be of interest for us

2250
01:36:44,310 --> 01:36:47,300
as far as trying to mitigate the timing of that

2251
01:36:47,300 --> 01:36:49,655
if it's late night and so on.

2252
01:36:49,655 --> 01:36:51,300
If there's a gas station, if it's

2253
01:36:51,300 --> 01:36:53,790
placed near the back towards where the community is,

2254
01:36:53,790 --> 01:36:56,190
they'll be heard constantly.

2255
01:36:56,610 --> 01:36:59,110
Having talked a little bit to the lawyers of the developers,

2256
01:36:59,110 --> 01:37:02,300
they have mentioned the tree covers and bushes,

2257
01:37:02,300 --> 01:37:03,690
et cetera, et cetera.

2258
01:37:03,690 --> 01:37:04,970
That seems harmful.

2259
01:37:04,970 --> 01:37:09,130
Hopefully, the trees do grow up to 20, 30 feet and the bushes

2260
01:37:09,130 --> 01:37:10,250
as well.

2261
01:37:10,250 --> 01:37:12,730
But we would like to see the wall.

2262
01:37:12,730 --> 01:37:16,370
Again, it's not something you don't see throughout Doral

2263
01:37:16,370 --> 01:37:20,170
as far as the 41st Street commercial development.

2264
01:37:20,170 --> 01:37:21,525
And thank you very much.

2265
01:37:21,525 --> 01:37:22,150
Thank you, sir.

2266
01:37:22,150 --> 01:37:23,610
Thank you.

2267
01:37:23,610 --> 01:37:25,610
Any other comments?

2268
01:37:25,770 --> 01:37:29,710
This is the only reasonable opportunity for this item.

2269
01:37:29,710 --> 01:37:36,250
So if you'd like to speak, please come up to the podium.

2270
01:37:36,250 --> 01:37:38,950
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Councilmembers.

2271
01:37:38,950 --> 01:37:40,700
My name is Richard Rios.

2272
01:37:40,700 --> 01:37:43,610
I'm a resident of Doral since 1997.

2273
01:37:43,610 --> 01:37:46,570
They used to have horses going by that area.

2274
01:37:46,570 --> 01:37:51,970
And adding to the comments from the other residents,

2275
01:37:52,990 --> 01:37:58,990
we understand that, yes, there is authority to-- or zoning

2276
01:38:00,270 --> 01:38:02,670
for a commercial location.

2277
01:38:04,830 --> 01:38:08,830
We would like to see some type of mitigation,

2278
01:38:08,830 --> 01:38:11,100
particularly regards to noise.

2279
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:15,830
If the car wash is located towards the rear,

2280
01:38:15,830 --> 01:38:20,900
then if there was some type of limitation like hours--

2281
01:38:20,900 --> 01:38:23,900
because car washes, especially when they're blow drying,

2282
01:38:23,900 --> 01:38:25,510
the cars are very loud.

2283
01:38:25,510 --> 01:38:30,470
The other areas of concern would be any type of traffic going

2284
01:38:30,470 --> 01:38:34,670
northbound from 41st Street up to 112th.

2285
01:38:35,700 --> 01:38:39,470
We have an exit in our community on 112th Avenue.

2286
01:38:39,470 --> 01:38:43,590
And if cars are making a left turn to go into the gas station

2287
01:38:43,590 --> 01:38:45,230
while we're coming out--

2288
01:38:45,230 --> 01:38:48,420
there was one resident here who almost had an accident recently

2289
01:38:48,420 --> 01:38:50,600
when she was leaving our community,

2290
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:54,460
and there was a truck barreling down 112th Avenue.

2291
01:38:54,460 --> 01:38:58,220
So we'd like to see some type of, maybe, agreements with code

2292
01:38:58,220 --> 01:39:01,380
enforcement that we would have some sort of guarantees

2293
01:39:01,380 --> 01:39:04,260
as far as no late-night deliveries,

2294
01:39:04,260 --> 01:39:09,600
overnight deliveries, any type of big gas trucks

2295
01:39:09,780 --> 01:39:12,620
coming in at odd hours of the night.

2296
01:39:12,620 --> 01:39:14,640
We understand that, yes, there's a business.

2297
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,660
There's going to be a 24-hour convenience store.

2298
01:39:17,660 --> 01:39:19,680
Hopefully, they won't have that much traffic.

2299
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:22,500
But during the day, it's a concern for us.

2300
01:39:22,500 --> 01:39:25,420
And we hope that you'll look into that

2301
01:39:25,420 --> 01:39:28,180
or at least be able to come to some agreement,

2302
01:39:28,180 --> 01:39:30,900
maybe have us included in some future discussions

2303
01:39:30,900 --> 01:39:33,900
with the developers on that.

2304
01:39:34,340 --> 01:39:36,500
Thank you very much.

2305
01:39:36,500 --> 01:39:37,620
Thank you.

2306
01:39:37,620 --> 01:39:41,820
Anyone else who would like to speak?

2307
01:39:48,440 --> 01:39:49,940
Good afternoon, Mayor.

2308
01:39:49,940 --> 01:39:50,860
Good afternoon.

2309
01:39:50,860 --> 01:39:53,320
My name is Maria Pazos.

2310
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:58,640
I am a resident of Doral since 2004 and a resident of Hawksnest

2311
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:02,240
at Doral 4227 Northwest 112th Court since 2006.

2312
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,960
My major concern is the health of our community,

2313
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:13,760
of our children, of all our Hawksnest community.

2314
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:19,160
I'm going to read why the gasoline component warrants

2315
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:20,260
a special scrutiny.

2316
01:40:20,260 --> 01:40:24,640
It says, "Gasoline is a source of benzene and other air

2317
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:25,760
pollutants.

2318
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:29,360
ATSDR states that benzene is released to the environment

2319
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:32,200
through the operation of gasoline stations,

2320
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,800
and that people may be exposed by breathing contaminated air

2321
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:37,800
around gasoline stations.

2322
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:42,800
ATSDR also explains that long-term benzene exposure can

2323
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:44,430
affect blood cells and bone marrow

2324
01:40:44,430 --> 01:40:47,390
and can cause bone marrow cancers, including

2325
01:40:47,390 --> 01:40:49,390
acute leukemia.

2326
01:40:49,470 --> 01:40:52,510
ATSDR notes that the US Department of Health and Human

2327
01:40:52,510 --> 01:40:56,190
Services and the US EPA classify benzene

2328
01:40:56,190 --> 01:40:59,750
as a known human carcinogen. EPA, likewise,

2329
01:40:59,750 --> 01:41:03,830
regulates benzene as a mobile source of air toxic and notes

2330
01:41:03,830 --> 01:41:06,230
that gasoline contains benzene.

2331
01:41:06,750 --> 01:41:10,270
EPA identifies benzene and other hydrocarbons

2332
01:41:10,270 --> 01:41:13,910
among air pollutants associated with gasoline and vehicle

2333
01:41:13,910 --> 01:41:15,150
emissions.

2334
01:41:15,150 --> 01:41:18,630
Also, a gasoline station creates multiple potential emission

2335
01:41:18,630 --> 01:41:19,910
points--

2336
01:41:19,910 --> 01:41:22,710
vehicle fueling and displacement of gasoline vapors

2337
01:41:22,710 --> 01:41:25,910
during the refueling, underground storage tanks

2338
01:41:25,910 --> 01:41:30,550
and their vent pipes, bulk fuel delivery operations, including

2339
01:41:30,550 --> 01:41:34,450
tanker trunk unloading and fuel connections, equipment leaks,

2340
01:41:34,450 --> 01:41:38,500
spills, and losses, additional vehicle traffic

2341
01:41:39,270 --> 01:41:41,310
associated with the use.

2342
01:41:41,310 --> 01:41:44,530
EPA also recognizes petroleum vapor intrusion

2343
01:41:44,530 --> 01:41:48,110
as a pathway in which vapors from petroleum hydrocarbons,

2344
01:41:48,110 --> 01:41:51,490
such as gasoline, can mitigate from subsurface sources

2345
01:41:51,490 --> 01:41:53,970
into buildings, creating potential safety and health

2346
01:41:53,970 --> 01:41:54,903
concerns.

2347
01:41:54,903 --> 01:41:56,570
[? These are ?] the main vapor intrusion

2348
01:41:56,570 --> 01:41:57,830
will occur at this site.

2349
01:41:57,830 --> 01:42:01,470
It is a recognized pathway that supports careful siting,

2350
01:42:01,470 --> 01:42:03,870
monitoring, and leak prevention."

2351
01:42:03,970 --> 01:42:05,970
So this is my main concern.

2352
01:42:05,970 --> 01:42:10,100
Obviously, traffic and all the other things we've stated.

2353
01:42:10,100 --> 01:42:13,910
And if the gas station is already been approved,

2354
01:42:13,910 --> 01:42:17,510
at least we need to-- as a community,

2355
01:42:17,510 --> 01:42:20,850
we would like to be informed of-- or at least

2356
01:42:20,850 --> 01:42:24,590
taking into account of where are they going to place it.

2357
01:42:24,590 --> 01:42:27,730
Because on 114th Avenue, we have a lake.

2358
01:42:27,730 --> 01:42:32,300
So maybe that would be the best place for it to be.

2359
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:33,550
But that's my main concern.

2360
01:42:33,550 --> 01:42:34,590
Thank you very much.

2361
01:42:34,590 --> 01:42:35,650
Thank you.

2362
01:42:35,650 --> 01:42:36,650
Thank you very much.

2363
01:42:36,650 --> 01:42:40,850
Anyone else who would like to speak?

2364
01:42:47,790 --> 01:42:48,310
Yes.

2365
01:42:48,310 --> 01:42:49,330
Good afternoon.

2366
01:42:49,330 --> 01:42:51,230
My name is Ileana Cernuda.

2367
01:42:51,230 --> 01:42:52,690
I also lived in Doral.

2368
01:42:52,690 --> 01:42:55,900
We can't hear you.

2369
01:42:55,150 --> 01:42:58,150
Can you hear me now?

2370
01:42:58,188 --> 01:42:58,730
There you go.

2371
01:42:58,730 --> 01:42:59,990
OK.

2372
01:42:59,990 --> 01:43:04,650
I'm also a resident of Doral, 11220 Northwest 42nd Terrace.

2373
01:43:04,650 --> 01:43:05,850
Your name, I'm sorry, again?

2374
01:43:05,850 --> 01:43:06,892
Because we couldn't hear.

2375
01:43:06,892 --> 01:43:08,892
Ileana Cernuda.

2376
01:43:09,230 --> 01:43:15,830
I would be exactly behind of the proposed service station-- gas

2377
01:43:18,350 --> 01:43:19,390
station.

2378
01:43:19,390 --> 01:43:24,300
So in addition to all of the other residents' concerns

2379
01:43:24,300 --> 01:43:28,950
and the gas, I believe that if it has to be another gas

2380
01:43:28,950 --> 01:43:31,300
station-- because then you would be placing--

2381
01:43:31,300 --> 01:43:34,630
there's one in 109th and 107th.

2382
01:43:35,310 --> 01:43:39,500
So I would think that it would be better to have it on 114th

2383
01:43:39,500 --> 01:43:43,700
Avenue, as my previous person-- resident said,

2384
01:43:44,900 --> 01:43:48,100
because it would be-- the back part would be on the lake

2385
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:51,700
instead of directly behind my house.

2386
01:43:52,340 --> 01:43:55,600
And I'm deeply concerned about all the rest--

2387
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,820
the noise, the gas, the traffic.

2388
01:43:57,820 --> 01:44:00,820
But we understand that-- as you said, that they have the right

2389
01:44:00,820 --> 01:44:01,620
to do it.

2390
01:44:01,620 --> 01:44:08,100
So if they at least could put the place in 114th.

2391
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:12,620
You already have two other gas stations on 109th and 107th.

2392
01:44:12,620 --> 01:44:14,260
Thank you.

2393
01:44:14,260 --> 01:44:15,460
Thank you.

2394
01:44:15,460 --> 01:44:17,460
Any other comments?

2395
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,200
Good evening.

2396
01:44:27,620 --> 01:44:30,600
Sorry, I speak Portuguese in English.

2397
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:31,900
I make my English, no--

2398
01:44:31,900 --> 01:44:33,360
Portuguese, Spanish.

2399
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:36,760
I make my best new English.

2400
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:39,280
My name is Miriam Goncalves.

2401
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:42,280
I live in 1997 in Hawksnest.

2402
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:49,760
I am a resident and a member of this community.

2403
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:54,200
We are not against development or progress.

2404
01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:59,360
But I am concerned about indirect impact

2405
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:04,440
on your community, especially traffic, safety, tranquility,

2406
01:45:07,440 --> 01:45:10,800
and the quality of life.

2407
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:16,800
We want to make sure that the residents' concern are

2408
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:22,400
heard and carefully considered before a final decision is made.

2409
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:29,480
We are not here to create confrontation.

2410
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:35,720
We are here to cooperate, work together.

2411
01:45:37,670 --> 01:45:42,430
We respectful-- I don't know, so respectful autocorrect--

2412
01:45:42,430 --> 01:45:47,630
ask this City and everyone involved with this project

2413
01:45:47,630 --> 01:45:53,630
to consider the families who already live in this community.

2414
01:45:54,870 --> 01:45:59,310
You believe developing and the quality of life

2415
01:45:59,310 --> 01:46:03,510
can coexist when there is responsibility planning.

2416
01:46:06,230 --> 01:46:08,830
We are not against progress.

2417
01:46:08,830 --> 01:46:13,300
We are asking for responsible developing, respect

2418
01:46:13,990 --> 01:46:18,790
to the safely, tranquility, and quality of life

2419
01:46:19,950 --> 01:46:21,950
of your community.

2420
01:46:22,470 --> 01:46:25,470
This is community, the Hawksnest.

2421
01:46:25,670 --> 01:46:27,590
Everybody could stay here.

2422
01:46:27,590 --> 01:46:30,550
Everybody put vote for us.

2423
01:46:30,550 --> 01:46:34,650
Please, can you help the Hawksnest at Doral?

2424
01:46:34,650 --> 01:46:36,500
Thank you so much.

2425
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:37,110
Thank you very much.

2426
01:46:37,110 --> 01:46:40,710
Any other comments at this time?

2427
01:46:49,510 --> 01:46:50,100
Hi.

2428
01:46:50,100 --> 01:46:50,710
Good evening.

2429
01:46:50,710 --> 01:46:52,410
My name is Eda Tinoco.

2430
01:46:52,410 --> 01:46:52,930
I live in--

2431
01:46:52,930 --> 01:46:54,850
Please get a little bit closer to the microphone

2432
01:46:54,850 --> 01:46:55,830
so that we can hear you--

2433
01:46:55,830 --> 01:46:56,130
There you go.

2434
01:46:56,130 --> 01:46:56,570
--clearly.

2435
01:46:56,570 --> 01:46:57,700
Now?

2436
01:46:57,700 --> 01:46:57,890
Yes.

2437
01:46:57,890 --> 01:46:59,270
My name is Eda Tinoco.

2438
01:46:59,270 --> 01:47:04,670
I live in 11261 Northwest on Hawksnest since 20 years ago.

2439
01:47:06,370 --> 01:47:09,170
I just retired from Eugenia B. Thomas

2440
01:47:09,170 --> 01:47:11,690
after 25 years of working there.

2441
01:47:11,690 --> 01:47:17,100
My concern is about the same of my people

2442
01:47:17,100 --> 01:47:19,410
that we live in the same complex,

2443
01:47:19,410 --> 01:47:22,670
but more is about the pedestrians.

2444
01:47:22,670 --> 01:47:29,100
And I see that the traffic now, now they open the 112 and how

2445
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:35,110
it's so difficult to cross, just to walk and pass by the 41st

2446
01:47:35,110 --> 01:47:37,110
Street is terrible.

2447
01:47:37,990 --> 01:47:42,670
I mean, as an adult, I have to be really, really careful.

2448
01:47:42,670 --> 01:47:47,670
And after 25 years seeing the kids, I mean, after dismissal,

2449
01:47:47,670 --> 01:47:52,510
trying to buy and crossing and buy to McDonald's or going--

2450
01:47:52,510 --> 01:47:56,270
just passing by to street, it's really difficult

2451
01:47:56,270 --> 01:47:58,930
to see them and the buses and all that.

2452
01:47:58,930 --> 01:48:01,210
My concern is about the children,

2453
01:48:01,210 --> 01:48:04,310
how they're going to be safe.

2454
01:48:04,310 --> 01:48:08,870
I mean, having a gas station in one corner and a building

2455
01:48:08,870 --> 01:48:11,470
is in the other one in Navarra in the middle one,

2456
01:48:11,470 --> 01:48:14,900
and then the new development, that is--

2457
01:48:14,900 --> 01:48:17,710
I mean, by the way, it's really nice now.

2458
01:48:17,710 --> 01:48:18,810
It's really nice.

2459
01:48:18,810 --> 01:48:21,910
And, believe me, I love my city.

2460
01:48:21,910 --> 01:48:24,850
It was like Publix, Where Shopping is a Pleasure.

2461
01:48:24,850 --> 01:48:27,100
Doral is a pleasure to live in.

2462
01:48:27,100 --> 01:48:28,420
It's really nice.

2463
01:48:28,420 --> 01:48:31,820
But, I mean, I think there is a point where

2464
01:48:31,820 --> 01:48:35,940
the progress and the development is a conflict with the people

2465
01:48:35,940 --> 01:48:38,760
that we live here, that we're resident.

2466
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:40,880
We're not in the-- any business.

2467
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:42,820
We live in the city.

2468
01:48:42,820 --> 01:48:46,260
And that's what I'm thinking about-- the children,

2469
01:48:46,260 --> 01:48:49,520
how they're going to pass by, how the kids, the middle ones,

2470
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,500
the kids that are coming from middle school that--

2471
01:48:52,500 --> 01:48:55,300
those groups of children that are going and passing

2472
01:48:55,300 --> 01:48:58,340
from McDonald's or going to any--

2473
01:48:58,340 --> 01:48:59,900
and now that we have, I mean, Whole

2474
01:48:59,900 --> 01:49:03,460
Foods and all the coffees and all the places,

2475
01:49:03,460 --> 01:49:05,540
it's really difficult to cross--

2476
01:49:05,540 --> 01:49:07,820
to pass that 112th.

2477
01:49:07,820 --> 01:49:10,720
And 41st is really hectic.

2478
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:13,380
The traffic is like you are risking your life every time

2479
01:49:13,380 --> 01:49:15,500
that you want to pass in by.

2480
01:49:15,500 --> 01:49:19,480
But afternoons, I try to walk by and because it's really nice,

2481
01:49:19,480 --> 01:49:21,560
but it's really difficult to pass.

2482
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:26,960
My concern, besides all that my neighbors are expressing,

2483
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,680
is the safety.

2484
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,400
I don't want to see any accident regarding

2485
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,800
any children passing by.

2486
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,730
And that's my concern having a gas station.

2487
01:49:39,730 --> 01:49:40,240
How are they going to cross?

2488
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:43,720
If I must feel that now there's no gas station there,

2489
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:45,840
it's hard for me to pass.

2490
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,420
And I'm an adult. How about children?

2491
01:49:48,420 --> 01:49:51,400
That's going to mean that teenagers,

2492
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:54,400
they're going to pass that--

2493
01:49:54,260 --> 01:49:56,100
and there's a school right there.

2494
01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:57,520
It's a charter school.

2495
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:57,760
Thank you, ma'am.

2496
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:59,740
And the traffic right there is terrible.

2497
01:49:59,740 --> 01:50:01,200
Well, thank you so much.

2498
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:02,800
Thank you so much.

2499
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:04,800
Any additional comments?

2500
01:50:09,440 --> 01:50:10,220
Good evening.

2501
01:50:10,220 --> 01:50:12,460
My name is Jorge Mauricio Salas.

2502
01:50:12,460 --> 01:50:15,455
I have been resident of Doral for the last--

2503
01:50:15,455 --> 01:50:16,800
Address please?

2504
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:16,580
Sorry?

2505
01:50:16,580 --> 01:50:17,780
Address for the record.

2506
01:50:17,780 --> 01:50:20,780
4267 Northwest 112th Court, Doral, Florida, 33178.

2507
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:24,840
Thank you.

2508
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:27,990
My fellows here, residents, we are just

2509
01:50:27,990 --> 01:50:30,750
concerned with the health issues that

2510
01:50:30,750 --> 01:50:36,750
can be aroused from the development of the gas station.

2511
01:50:37,430 --> 01:50:42,670
We understand that the progress is good for everyone.

2512
01:50:42,670 --> 01:50:44,990
But we're just concerned about the health

2513
01:50:44,990 --> 01:50:47,990
of our kids, our community.

2514
01:50:48,670 --> 01:50:52,990
Just a few months ago, the new project

2515
01:50:52,990 --> 01:50:56,670
for the warehouses in front was finished.

2516
01:50:56,670 --> 01:51:00,750
And we have been dealing with a lot of noise.

2517
01:51:00,750 --> 01:51:03,700
And now with the gas station, it's

2518
01:51:03,700 --> 01:51:06,550
not only going to be noise but health concerns.

2519
01:51:06,550 --> 01:51:10,750
So we really are against that project.

2520
01:51:10,870 --> 01:51:14,490
And if you can help us out, that will be really great.

2521
01:51:14,490 --> 01:51:16,490
Thank you.

2522
01:51:17,190 --> 01:51:17,690
All right.

2523
01:51:17,690 --> 01:51:20,690
Any other comments or questions?

2524
01:51:22,350 --> 01:51:23,570
All right.

2525
01:51:23,570 --> 01:51:27,900
Being no more public comments, we

2526
01:51:27,900 --> 01:51:29,690
will close the Public Comments portion.

2527
01:51:29,690 --> 01:51:36,290
And we will hear from our staff and then the applicant.

2528
01:51:37,690 --> 01:51:38,570
OK.

2529
01:51:38,570 --> 01:51:44,100
So this is a site plan coming forward from CEDECO 41, LLC.

2530
01:51:44,100 --> 01:51:47,410
It is in-- a commercial corridor--

2531
01:51:47,410 --> 01:51:49,270
commercial retail plaza.

2532
01:51:49,270 --> 01:51:53,770
And it is located on 41st Street and is bound by Northwest 114th

2533
01:51:53,770 --> 01:51:58,690
Avenue and Northwest 112th Avenue to the east and the west.

2534
01:51:58,690 --> 01:52:00,750
It is approximately 7 and 1/2 acres.

2535
01:52:00,750 --> 01:52:04,590
And it was-- went to workshop in June of 2025.

2536
01:52:04,590 --> 01:52:09,890
So the surrounding land, it is a vacant land.

2537
01:52:09,890 --> 01:52:12,290
And it's pretty landscaped.

2538
01:52:14,390 --> 01:52:16,890
To the north, you have multifamily residential.

2539
01:52:16,890 --> 01:52:19,450
And to the south, you have office buildings.

2540
01:52:19,450 --> 01:52:20,990
The east is vacant.

2541
01:52:20,990 --> 01:52:24,110
And to the west, you have a retail outlet,

2542
01:52:24,110 --> 01:52:28,310
which is where the current Navarro currently sits.

2543
01:52:28,310 --> 01:52:33,870
These are the existing views of how it looks currently.

2544
01:52:33,870 --> 01:52:37,350
And these are the renderings that

2545
01:52:37,350 --> 01:52:40,510
are going to be on the site.

2546
01:52:40,510 --> 01:52:45,310
If you can see the site plan at the bottom, we have a--

2547
01:52:45,310 --> 01:52:46,670
two anchors.

2548
01:52:46,670 --> 01:52:48,910
On the west, you have the Navarro

2549
01:52:48,910 --> 01:52:51,910
with the parking in the back and to the side.

2550
01:52:51,910 --> 01:52:54,470
On the east side, you have the other anchor, which

2551
01:52:54,470 --> 01:52:56,170
is going to be the gas station.

2552
01:52:56,170 --> 01:52:57,790
And in between the two anchors, you

2553
01:52:57,790 --> 01:53:02,310
have a commercial retail component with multiple shops

2554
01:53:02,310 --> 01:53:06,150
with parking to the rear of the property.

2555
01:53:06,150 --> 01:53:12,150
So this was determined by the Doral Master Plan Boulevard

2556
01:53:13,790 --> 01:53:17,710
and where it says that you cannot have any parking fronting

2557
01:53:17,710 --> 01:53:19,420
the Doral Boulevard.

2558
01:53:19,420 --> 01:53:23,680
So all the parking will be to the back along Doral Boulevard.

2559
01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:28,620
You'll have a 35-foot setback with landscaping and pedestrian

2560
01:53:28,620 --> 01:53:33,420
path with benches, bike racks, and trash receptacles.

2561
01:53:34,780 --> 01:53:39,180
This project is in compliance with all of our site plan

2562
01:53:39,180 --> 01:53:41,940
evaluation standards that are applicable.

2563
01:53:41,940 --> 01:53:44,860
And based on that, staff is recommending

2564
01:53:44,860 --> 01:53:47,540
approval of the site plan.

2565
01:53:47,540 --> 01:53:50,580
With that, I am here to answer any questions that you may have.

2566
01:53:50,580 --> 01:53:53,540
And I think Melissa is also here.

2567
01:53:53,540 --> 01:53:55,940
Thank you, Mr. Magrisso.

2568
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:58,600
Ms. Tapanes?

2569
01:54:03,740 --> 01:54:06,320
Good evening, Madam Mayor, Madam Vice Mayor,

2570
01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:07,560
honorable Councilmembers.

2571
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:10,660
My name is Melissa Tapanes, with law offices at 200 South

2572
01:54:10,660 --> 01:54:12,400
Biscayne Boulevard, Miami.

2573
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:13,720
I do have a presentation.

2574
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:15,700
Ms. Diaz, if you'll play it.

2575
01:54:15,700 --> 01:54:17,120
Let's see, do I get--

2576
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:18,880
[INAUDIBLE]

2577
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:19,580
Oh, thank you.

2578
01:54:19,580 --> 01:54:20,640
Excellent.

2579
01:54:20,640 --> 01:54:21,260
Wonderful.

2580
01:54:21,260 --> 01:54:22,880
Thank you.

2581
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:26,480
So the property is 7 and 1/2 acres,

2582
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:32,520
located on Doral Boulevard, just between 112th Avenue and 114th

2583
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,800
Avenue.

2584
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:37,800
I should mention before I get started that I'm joined here

2585
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:40,640
by Marcos Puentes with the applicant, our architect, Terry

2586
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,800
Runyan, our traffic engineer, Natalia

2587
01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:48,120
Lercari, and my colleagues, Rob Alvarez and Tom Robertson.

2588
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,000
In case we have any specific questions,

2589
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:55,600
I'll submit that we have expert witnesses to add

2590
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:57,640
to any of the substantial competent evidence

2591
01:54:57,640 --> 01:54:59,200
in the record.

2592
01:54:59,200 --> 01:55:02,520
So we're here today seeking site plan approval.

2593
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:04,300
This property is vacant.

2594
01:55:04,300 --> 01:55:06,680
It consists of poor-quality wetlands

2595
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,800
of mostly invasive species.

2596
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:13,280
And we're here to request the site plan approval

2597
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:16,280
to allow for neighborhood-serving commercial

2598
01:55:16,430 --> 01:55:20,630
development fully in compliance with the City Code.

2599
01:55:20,630 --> 01:55:22,750
We're pleased to have worked with

2600
01:55:22,750 --> 01:55:27,750
and collaborated with both the community as well as

2601
01:55:27,750 --> 01:55:30,790
your professional staff, who is recommending

2602
01:55:30,790 --> 01:55:33,790
in favor of this application.

2603
01:55:34,150 --> 01:55:37,870
So the criteria for approval of site plans

2604
01:55:37,870 --> 01:55:41,470
include consistency with the Comprehensive Plan,

2605
01:55:41,610 --> 01:55:44,390
compatibility with the surrounding corridor,

2606
01:55:44,390 --> 01:55:47,990
high-quality site design, traffic, access, circulation,

2607
01:55:48,710 --> 01:55:52,910
and, very importantly, health, safety, and welfare.

2608
01:55:53,590 --> 01:55:57,870
The property is designated Business in the Land Use

2609
01:55:57,870 --> 01:56:00,990
Comprehensive Plan, as well as Commercial Corridor

2610
01:56:00,990 --> 01:56:05,670
in your zoning code, and has the overlay of the Doral Boulevard

2611
01:56:05,670 --> 01:56:07,630
Master Plan.

2612
01:56:07,630 --> 01:56:11,830
These allow for the full mixed-use developments.

2613
01:56:12,130 --> 01:56:14,650
And you can see that the Doral Boulevard

2614
01:56:14,650 --> 01:56:18,610
contacts from the Florida Turnpike to our east

2615
01:56:18,610 --> 01:56:23,690
has your hotel uses, your mixed uses, your commercial uses,

2616
01:56:23,690 --> 01:56:29,300
as well as gas stations, automotive uses, and, of course,

2617
01:56:29,300 --> 01:56:33,830
the new bridge industrial site to our south.

2618
01:56:36,610 --> 01:56:39,550
What we're proposing are neighborhood-serving uses,

2619
01:56:39,550 --> 01:56:43,730
including the relocation of the existing Navarro Pharmacy that

2620
01:56:43,730 --> 01:56:47,300
is on the south side of Doral Boulevard,

2621
01:56:47,300 --> 01:56:51,830
as well as about 27,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving

2622
01:56:52,170 --> 01:56:57,290
retail storefronts and a Shell gasoline station that will be

2623
01:56:57,290 --> 01:57:02,900
developed by Sunshine, which is a Doral business.

2624
01:57:02,890 --> 01:57:06,490
The proposal includes a high-quality design.

2625
01:57:07,100 --> 01:57:10,610
Specifically, the development includes that 15,000-square-foot

2626
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:16,120
Navarro, as well as that 27,000-square-foot commercial.

2627
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:21,880
The convenience store is only 3,000 square feet.

2628
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:27,150
And the canopied area of the Shell gas station is about 7,900

2629
01:57:27,150 --> 01:57:28,720
square feet.

2630
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:33,800
Very importantly, there is no car wash at the site.

2631
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:37,000
And the hours of operation are consistent with that

2632
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,400
of the Doral Boulevard.

2633
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:45,000
The Doral Boulevard Master Plan proposes

2634
01:57:45,320 --> 01:57:48,920
significant restrictions and encourages urban design

2635
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:53,400
along the Boulevard.

2636
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:56,640
Specifically, this project complies and provides

2637
01:57:56,840 --> 01:57:59,840
specifically with stuccoed concrete block

2638
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:04,280
and horizontal wood slats along the Doral Boulevard

2639
01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:06,860
to cover the 13 parking spaces.

2640
01:58:06,860 --> 01:58:10,460
And the remainder is open plazas,

2641
01:58:10,540 --> 01:58:15,940
both in the central focal courtyard along the commercial

2642
01:58:15,940 --> 01:58:20,740
storefronts, as well as plazas along 112th Avenue.

2643
01:58:24,660 --> 01:58:28,620
You can see here that the Doral Boulevard Master Plan provides

2644
01:58:28,620 --> 01:58:31,620
for 10 feet of front buffering.

2645
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:34,400
And we're providing 25 feet.

2646
01:58:35,900 --> 01:58:40,520
Onto the proposed site plan and specific access and circulation.

2647
01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:46,180
The Navarro Pharmacy is at the corner of 114th and Doral

2648
01:58:46,180 --> 01:58:47,620
Boulevard.

2649
01:58:47,620 --> 01:58:51,900
There is a drive-through with limited hours of operation.

2650
01:58:51,900 --> 01:58:56,700
So we have placed it on 114th Avenue in order to be part

2651
01:58:56,700 --> 01:59:00,540
of the open space feature to the rear of the property

2652
01:59:00,540 --> 01:59:02,940
and the Hawksnest community.

2653
01:59:03,940 --> 01:59:06,740
You can see that, based on the Mayor's

2654
01:59:06,740 --> 01:59:09,400
and other Councilmembers' comments,

2655
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:12,400
we have worked with CVS and modified

2656
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:14,600
the color scheme of the Navarro Pharmacy

2657
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:20,520
to provide for the traditional brands of Bahamian yellow only

2658
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:22,880
as an accent feature and to be more

2659
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:27,680
compatible with the surrounding Doral Boulevard color schemes.

2660
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:31,600
As it relates to the proposed site plan,

2661
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:35,600
and specifically the 27,000 square feet of new retail

2662
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:40,200
storefronts, there is a central courtyard perfect for outdoor

2663
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,800
dining or food and beverage opportunities.

2664
01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:47,200
And the Shell gas station, notably,

2665
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:49,280
does not have a car wash.

2666
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:55,720
Very important, there is no left in or left out on either 112th

2667
01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:58,120
Avenue or 114th Avenue.

2668
01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:04,720
This plan provides for specific 35% open space where only 17%

2669
02:00:07,630 --> 02:00:09,630
is required.

2670
02:00:09,990 --> 02:00:13,590
Notably, the commercial corridor zoning district

2671
02:00:13,870 --> 02:00:20,470
allows for up to six stories of height, 0.5 FAR, as well

2672
02:00:20,910 --> 02:00:25,710
as 50% lot coverage, and again, only 17% open space.

2673
02:00:26,910 --> 02:00:30,250
The front setback required is 20 feet.

2674
02:00:30,250 --> 02:00:32,230
We're providing over 25 feet.

2675
02:00:32,230 --> 02:00:35,850
And the rear setback minimum is 15 feet.

2676
02:00:35,850 --> 02:00:38,970
And we're providing not only a 20-foot buffer yard,

2677
02:00:38,970 --> 02:00:44,160
but we'll show you in detail how our rear setback is from 90

2678
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:45,970
to 140 feet.

2679
02:00:45,970 --> 02:00:48,290
But before we get there, gas station,

2680
02:00:48,290 --> 02:00:51,790
I understand that that is a concern of the community.

2681
02:00:51,790 --> 02:00:55,270
So we have gone through the Miami-Dade County Environmental

2682
02:00:55,270 --> 02:00:57,670
Resource Management process, specifically

2683
02:00:58,430 --> 02:01:01,630
appearing before the County's Environmental Quality Control

2684
02:01:01,630 --> 02:01:02,330
Board.

2685
02:01:02,330 --> 02:01:04,930
And they found that the establishment of the proposed

2686
02:01:04,930 --> 02:01:07,210
gas station will not be detrimental

2687
02:01:07,210 --> 02:01:10,290
to the public health, welfare and safety,

2688
02:01:10,290 --> 02:01:12,850
will not create a nuisance, and will not materially

2689
02:01:12,850 --> 02:01:17,130
increase the level of pollution in the overall county.

2690
02:01:17,130 --> 02:01:20,450
Specifically, conditions for the gas station

2691
02:01:20,450 --> 02:01:23,390
are those that are consistent with federal, state,

2692
02:01:23,390 --> 02:01:25,300
and local regulations.

2693
02:01:25,300 --> 02:01:27,810
The fuel systems will incorporate multiple

2694
02:01:27,810 --> 02:01:29,810
state-of-the-art safety measures,

2695
02:01:30,110 --> 02:01:32,750
including double-wall tanks and piping,

2696
02:01:32,750 --> 02:01:35,750
spill containment systems, overfill protection,

2697
02:01:36,270 --> 02:01:39,270
leak detection, and continuous monitoring.

2698
02:01:39,490 --> 02:01:43,450
Employees will be required to complete all necessary training

2699
02:01:43,450 --> 02:01:47,270
to become Underground Storage Class C Operators

2700
02:01:47,270 --> 02:01:51,470
and maintain certification through the compliance courses.

2701
02:01:52,900 --> 02:01:54,350
This gas station, as I mentioned,

2702
02:01:54,350 --> 02:01:58,490
will be developed by Sunshine, which is headquartered here

2703
02:01:58,490 --> 02:02:02,600
in the City of Doral and owns and operates numerous gas

2704
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:06,480
stations throughout the City and Miami-Dade County.

2705
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:09,240
Most importantly, before any installation

2706
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:11,600
and the operation of this gas station

2707
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:13,960
and specifically the storage tanks,

2708
02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:16,440
the County must approve all engineering

2709
02:02:16,440 --> 02:02:18,520
plans demonstrating compliance with

2710
02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:20,460
all environmental regulations.

2711
02:02:20,460 --> 02:02:23,800
That, of course, is in addition to the City of Doral Building

2712
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:25,800
Department, City of--

2713
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:28,400
Miami-Dade County Fire Department as they

2714
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:30,860
review these plans and, of course,

2715
02:02:30,860 --> 02:02:34,460
enforce these plans into the future.

2716
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:40,400
The gas station use is allowed as of right within the zoning

2717
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:41,480
district.

2718
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:44,700
The property fronts Northwest 41st Street,

2719
02:02:44,700 --> 02:02:47,120
which is an arterial roadway.

2720
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:50,640
It's designed and constructed in full compliance with the City's

2721
02:02:50,640 --> 02:02:52,400
Fire Prevention Code.

2722
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:56,400
The attendant-control area will have clear visibility

2723
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:59,160
with-- to all pumps with no attraction

2724
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:01,540
signs on the windows in compliance

2725
02:03:01,540 --> 02:03:05,140
with Doral regulations dealing with aesthetics.

2726
02:03:05,260 --> 02:03:08,340
We're providing over the minimum required parking

2727
02:03:08,340 --> 02:03:10,520
spaces at the gas station.

2728
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:13,180
And it meets the minimum building square footage

2729
02:03:13,180 --> 02:03:16,780
and all applicable land development regulations.

2730
02:03:16,780 --> 02:03:21,140
We went through both the City of Doral and the Miami-Dade County

2731
02:03:21,140 --> 02:03:23,140
Traffic Engineering process.

2732
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:26,460
All of the sites for driveway connections

2733
02:03:26,460 --> 02:03:29,320
are expected to operate at level of service

2734
02:03:29,320 --> 02:03:33,520
A. The development of this site will

2735
02:03:33,740 --> 02:03:38,220
continue the City's overall level of service standards.

2736
02:03:38,220 --> 02:03:40,240
There will be no changes.

2737
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:43,100
And the queues are generally consistent with all background

2738
02:03:43,100 --> 02:03:45,460
conditions as they exist today.

2739
02:03:45,460 --> 02:03:48,100
The projected traffic pattern reflects

2740
02:03:48,100 --> 02:03:50,420
just the commercial developments designed

2741
02:03:50,420 --> 02:03:54,500
to serve the immediate neighborhood and passerbys.

2742
02:03:54,500 --> 02:03:58,700
The pharmacy will provide sufficient on-site stacking

2743
02:03:58,840 --> 02:03:59,740
for vehicles.

2744
02:03:59,740 --> 02:04:02,600
And that has been reviewed by both County Traffic Engineering

2745
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:05,840
as well as the City of Doral.

2746
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:11,160
As part of our traffic analysis, we've been asked to implement

2747
02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:16,640
the City of Doral's Master Plan, which provides for, notably,

2748
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:21,720
dedicated right-turn lanes into the property the site proposes

2749
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,400
and is required to provide three--

2750
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:29,740
one on 114th Avenue that will be right-in, right-out only,

2751
02:04:29,740 --> 02:04:31,600
no left turns.

2752
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:36,840
We are also providing an exclusive right-turn lane on--

2753
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:40,480
entering both the Navarro entrance as well as

2754
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:42,260
the gas station entrance.

2755
02:04:42,260 --> 02:04:45,840
And again, the retail storefronts are in the center.

2756
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,960
I'll go through these in a little bit more detail.

2757
02:04:48,960 --> 02:04:54,800
We're also relocating the Doral Trolley stop to 41st Street from

2758
02:04:54,800 --> 02:04:56,800
114th Avenue.

2759
02:04:57,230 --> 02:05:00,150
It will be upgraded with the modern shelter

2760
02:05:00,150 --> 02:05:03,830
for enhanced transit access and rider convenience.

2761
02:05:03,830 --> 02:05:08,300
We're also installing special emphasis marked crosswalks

2762
02:05:08,190 --> 02:05:13,590
to create pedestrian safety along 112th and 114th Avenues.

2763
02:05:15,590 --> 02:05:20,790
In addition, we are improving the Doral Boulevard right of way

2764
02:05:20,790 --> 02:05:24,670
by not only increasing-- by dedicating private land

2765
02:05:24,670 --> 02:05:27,210
for those exclusive right-turn lanes,

2766
02:05:27,210 --> 02:05:32,610
but we're also increasing the storage to accommodate more

2767
02:05:33,950 --> 02:05:38,750
vehicles as they travel eastbound and make lefts

2768
02:05:39,550 --> 02:05:41,550
at 109th Avenue.

2769
02:05:41,750 --> 02:05:45,870
The 112th and 114th intersections are fully built

2770
02:05:45,870 --> 02:05:49,870
out, with the exception that the site to our east is currently

2771
02:05:49,870 --> 02:05:53,370
vacant and will be dedicating additional right of way,

2772
02:05:53,370 --> 02:05:57,850
just like we are dedicating right of way towards 112th

2773
02:05:57,850 --> 02:06:01,810
Avenue and likely on 41st Street as well.

2774
02:06:01,810 --> 02:06:04,510
I mentioned the exclusive right-turn lanes.

2775
02:06:04,510 --> 02:06:06,510
There are three.

2776
02:06:08,330 --> 02:06:11,330
And we think that this slide is very important.

2777
02:06:11,330 --> 02:06:16,130
As we work to provide the highest-quality design

2778
02:06:16,370 --> 02:06:19,330
and consistent with Doral aesthetics,

2779
02:06:19,330 --> 02:06:22,810
we did not build a six-story building only 15--

2780
02:06:22,810 --> 02:06:24,810
with 15 feet of setback.

2781
02:06:24,810 --> 02:06:30,450
We have planned for a 20-foot buffer yard that will be

2782
02:06:30,450 --> 02:06:33,450
of dense vegetation and trees.

2783
02:06:33,590 --> 02:06:35,300
We'll get into those details.

2784
02:06:35,300 --> 02:06:38,770
But most importantly, in extending that 15-foot rear

2785
02:06:38,770 --> 02:06:43,250
setback, we are extending it at the Navarro site to over 90

2786
02:06:43,250 --> 02:06:44,610
feet.

2787
02:06:44,610 --> 02:06:48,500
That building is approximately 30 feet to the parapet.

2788
02:06:48,500 --> 02:06:52,440
And along the gas station, it is over 140 feet.

2789
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:55,440
And that height is 19 feet.

2790
02:06:55,560 --> 02:07:00,280
The buffer yard is over 6,000 square feet of landscape

2791
02:07:00,280 --> 02:07:02,240
planting areas.

2792
02:07:02,240 --> 02:07:05,520
We had it proposed as the same treatment

2793
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:11,520
as Hawksnest, which is a green chain-link fence and cocoplum

2794
02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:12,920
shrubs.

2795
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:18,920
We are creating a full buffer utilizing buttonwood trees at 14

2796
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:21,760
feet at the time of planting.

2797
02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:24,520
We were able to be at the Hawksnest site

2798
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,600
and be able to see exactly what that height would be,

2799
02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:31,800
which is over the one-story buildings, which

2800
02:07:32,680 --> 02:07:34,860
are about 10 to 12 feet.

2801
02:07:34,860 --> 02:07:37,400
And these are at 14 feet.

2802
02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:42,160
We're also including as specimen trees for both color

2803
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:47,320
and aesthetics Queen's crape myrtle trees as focal points

2804
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:51,260
throughout the buffer yard, as well as 6-foot-tall pitch apple

2805
02:07:51,260 --> 02:07:52,500
trees.

2806
02:07:52,500 --> 02:07:55,100
We understand that there has been some discussion

2807
02:07:55,100 --> 02:08:00,980
as to a 6-foot concrete masonry wall or panel system.

2808
02:08:00,980 --> 02:08:07,460
We are open for the Council to choose what kind of feature

2809
02:08:07,460 --> 02:08:09,460
they would like.

2810
02:08:09,540 --> 02:08:13,760
Our initial discussions were that we would match Hawksnest.

2811
02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:17,700
But again, we leave that up to the will of the Council.

2812
02:08:17,700 --> 02:08:20,220
Regarding impact fees, this project

2813
02:08:20,220 --> 02:08:25,200
will generate over $2.1 million in impact fees, notably

2814
02:08:25,580 --> 02:08:30,980
almost $1.2 million to the Doral road impact fee specifically.

2815
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:35,820
The goal is that in addition to us not-- or this project

2816
02:08:35,820 --> 02:08:38,740
not impacting the level of service

2817
02:08:38,740 --> 02:08:41,740
and creating additional right-of-way improvements

2818
02:08:41,940 --> 02:08:43,740
and dedicating additional right-of-way

2819
02:08:43,740 --> 02:08:47,220
for the public good, we are also contributing

2820
02:08:47,220 --> 02:08:51,000
to the future traffic impact of this project

2821
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,280
and the other projects along Doral Boulevard

2822
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:57,480
through that Doral City road impact fee.

2823
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:01,480
We had the opportunity to meet Mr. Rios

2824
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:04,240
at the City of Doral workshop.

2825
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:07,800
We followed up with a virtual meeting,

2826
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:10,600
where we had over 20 residents from Hawksnest.

2827
02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:12,220
We took their comments.

2828
02:09:12,220 --> 02:09:16,520
We did our very best to address their concerns and comments.

2829
02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:20,860
They asked for an in-person meeting, which we had on Monday.

2830
02:09:20,860 --> 02:09:23,120
It was very hot.

2831
02:09:23,120 --> 02:09:25,900
Their clubhouse did not have power,

2832
02:09:25,900 --> 02:09:28,560
so we had a good time by their pool,

2833
02:09:28,560 --> 02:09:31,560
enjoying a very breezy afternoon.

2834
02:09:32,160 --> 02:09:34,600
We were able to answer many of their questions

2835
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,880
and continue-- want to continue our relationship

2836
02:09:37,880 --> 02:09:40,800
as good neighbors as we're committed to continue

2837
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:44,800
to work with them not only through this entitlement

2838
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:47,830
and permitting process, but most importantly through construction

2839
02:09:47,830 --> 02:09:51,430
and as we co-exist as neighbors.

2840
02:09:52,850 --> 02:09:57,810
I did want to mention also the vehicular trips,

2841
02:09:57,810 --> 02:10:01,590
since that was brought up as far as traffic goes.

2842
02:10:01,590 --> 02:10:05,700
Specifically, our project-- you can see on the screen

2843
02:10:05,700 --> 02:10:07,830
the AM and PM vehicle trips.

2844
02:10:07,830 --> 02:10:10,690
Some mentioned, "You could build an office."

2845
02:10:10,690 --> 02:10:16,300
Well, medical office at the site is 90,000 square feet versus

2846
02:10:16,300 --> 02:10:19,130
our site, which is significantly less than that.

2847
02:10:19,130 --> 02:10:23,630
And you can see that the traffic associated with an office

2848
02:10:23,630 --> 02:10:28,290
building, even just a couple of fast-food restaurants,

2849
02:10:28,290 --> 02:10:29,910
a coffee shop with a drive-through,

2850
02:10:29,910 --> 02:10:33,710
you can see that the traffic is significantly more

2851
02:10:33,710 --> 02:10:35,990
than the neighborhood-serving retail

2852
02:10:35,990 --> 02:10:38,390
that the project proposes.

2853
02:10:38,950 --> 02:10:42,100
And I think that that is all for my presentation.

2854
02:10:42,100 --> 02:10:45,450
I'm available for any questions, as is our team.

2855
02:10:45,450 --> 02:10:49,250
And we thank you and the neighbors for meeting with us

2856
02:10:49,250 --> 02:10:51,870
and continuing to work with us on this project.

2857
02:10:51,870 --> 02:10:52,570
Thank you.

2858
02:10:52,570 --> 02:10:54,970
Thank you, Ms. Tapanes.

2859
02:10:55,100 --> 02:10:57,100
All right.

2860
02:10:57,500 --> 02:10:59,590
I need to ask for ex parte communication.

2861
02:10:59,590 --> 02:11:04,170
And then we can open up to questions, comments, and debate.

2862
02:11:04,170 --> 02:11:05,350
Yes, Councilman.

2863
02:11:05,350 --> 02:11:07,110
I met with the applicant.

2864
02:11:07,110 --> 02:11:08,750
But it wouldn't affect my decision.

2865
02:11:08,750 --> 02:11:09,250
OK.

2866
02:11:09,250 --> 02:11:10,830
Thank you very much.

2867
02:11:10,830 --> 02:11:10,970
Same.

2868
02:11:10,970 --> 02:11:11,710
Thank you.

2869
02:11:11,710 --> 02:11:12,252
Councilwoman?

2870
02:11:12,252 --> 02:11:13,410
Mayor, yes, same.

2871
02:11:13,410 --> 02:11:15,510
Ex parte won't affect my decision.

2872
02:11:15,510 --> 02:11:16,430
And same here.

2873
02:11:16,430 --> 02:11:16,930
OK.

2874
02:11:16,930 --> 02:11:17,590
Thank you very much.

2875
02:11:17,590 --> 02:11:19,840
I also had communications, not just with the residents

2876
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:20,870
but with the applicant.

2877
02:11:20,870 --> 02:11:24,410
And that will not affect the outcome of my decision.

2878
02:11:24,410 --> 02:11:24,910
All right.

2879
02:11:24,910 --> 02:11:27,243
We can go ahead and open up to any questions or comments

2880
02:11:27,243 --> 02:11:28,910
from the Council at this time.

2881
02:11:28,910 --> 02:11:29,410
OK.

2882
02:11:29,410 --> 02:11:30,790
I have a few to the Mayor.

2883
02:11:30,790 --> 02:11:32,170
Yes, Councilwoman Reinoso?

2884
02:11:32,170 --> 02:11:33,900
OK.

2885
02:11:33,900 --> 02:11:37,290
I have a question for the applicant.

2886
02:11:37,930 --> 02:11:40,550
After listening through-- to the residents' concerns,

2887
02:11:40,550 --> 02:11:43,550
I want to address this.

2888
02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:47,460
I didn't see it this way when I first met with the applicant,

2889
02:11:47,460 --> 02:11:51,600
so I want to see what the thought process behind this was.

2890
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:54,280
We have lot 1 to the west.

2891
02:11:54,280 --> 02:11:57,640
And we have lot 3 to the east.

2892
02:11:57,640 --> 02:12:00,760
Is there a reason why that wasn't considered

2893
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:04,200
to put the gas station more towards the west

2894
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:08,320
and maybe switch the Navarro property with the gas station?

2895
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:11,520
There were several thoughts as part of that decision-making.

2896
02:12:11,520 --> 02:12:14,800
First, the Navarro Pharmacy already

2897
02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:17,500
exists across the street, so if we're existing patrons,

2898
02:12:17,500 --> 02:12:19,960
we wanted to keep it as close as possible.

2899
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:22,000
But I think, most importantly, there

2900
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:25,240
is-- the only drive-through associated with the entire site

2901
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:27,100
plan is at the Navarro.

2902
02:12:27,100 --> 02:12:28,640
And you can see through--

2903
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:31,400
if I can go back to the aerial.

2904
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:36,280
Just to the north at Hawksnest, that's where you would have--

2905
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:39,280
you can see it here.

2906
02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:41,500
Let's see.

2907
02:12:41,500 --> 02:12:45,100
The Hawksnest has its entrance feature,

2908
02:12:47,200 --> 02:12:50,460
which includes a stormwater retention pond.

2909
02:12:50,460 --> 02:12:55,420
And our thought was that the neighbors would prefer to be

2910
02:12:55,420 --> 02:12:58,420
buffered by the drive-through from--

2911
02:13:00,580 --> 02:13:01,640
in that direction.

2912
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:03,200
So that was the choice.

2913
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:05,880
I'm just going through the aerials so you can see.

2914
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:09,360
I guess you can see it best right here.

2915
02:13:09,360 --> 02:13:10,800
You can see it.

2916
02:13:10,800 --> 02:13:15,480
So on 114th Avenue, where the Navarro is located,

2917
02:13:15,480 --> 02:13:18,700
you can see that Hawksnest has their entrance feature

2918
02:13:18,700 --> 02:13:20,920
and stormwater retention ponds.

2919
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:24,380
So when we were thinking about queuing and having

2920
02:13:24,380 --> 02:13:29,860
that pharmacy, that made the most sense to us for placement.

2921
02:13:29,860 --> 02:13:34,120
Also, the Navarro Pharmacy is, as I mentioned,

2922
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:37,820
30-feet tall to the parapet, which is more equivalent

2923
02:13:37,820 --> 02:13:42,850
to their two-story townhomes, which are usually about 30 to 35

2924
02:13:42,850 --> 02:13:43,480
feet.

2925
02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:46,280
And the gas station is-- the Navarro

2926
02:13:46,280 --> 02:13:51,280
is 90 feet away, whereas the gas station is 140 feet away

2927
02:13:51,280 --> 02:13:55,920
and is only 19 foot in height to the canopy.

2928
02:13:55,920 --> 02:13:59,920
The convenience store is even lower and only 3,000 square

2929
02:13:59,920 --> 02:14:00,420
feet.

2930
02:14:00,420 --> 02:14:03,440
So what we were trying to do was ensure

2931
02:14:03,440 --> 02:14:06,280
that the least amount of construction and the largest

2932
02:14:06,280 --> 02:14:09,160
setback would be where the neighbors were, which

2933
02:14:09,160 --> 02:14:15,680
is at the center of the site, as well as the gas station parcel.

2934
02:14:15,680 --> 02:14:20,480
And then my next question is-- let's see.

2935
02:14:21,960 --> 02:14:23,600
I see the buffer.

2936
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:29,600
And that's been intentional to keep the most distance apart

2937
02:14:29,160 --> 02:14:32,520
from the property and the residence.

2938
02:14:32,520 --> 02:14:36,880
I would like to discuss the possibility of having a stone

2939
02:14:36,880 --> 02:14:38,910
wall versus the chain link.

2940
02:14:38,910 --> 02:14:40,690
Hearing the residents today, the same--

2941
02:14:40,690 --> 02:14:41,190
Concrete.

2942
02:14:41,190 --> 02:14:41,910
Concrete.

2943
02:14:41,910 --> 02:14:44,110
I'm sorry, the concrete.

2944
02:14:44,110 --> 02:14:47,470
Concrete wall versus a chain link.

2945
02:14:47,470 --> 02:14:51,190
I believe there's more proper privacy, more protection

2946
02:14:51,190 --> 02:14:55,390
to them, and if that's something that could be discussed.

2947
02:14:55,390 --> 02:14:59,300
We are open to the Council's will and happy to make any

2948
02:14:59,300 --> 02:15:03,830
of the reasonable concessions, including a 6-foot wall

2949
02:15:04,350 --> 02:15:05,410
at the location.

2950
02:15:05,410 --> 02:15:08,190
And we just want to be sure that Hawksnest understands

2951
02:15:08,190 --> 02:15:11,700
that their-- they have a chain-link fence, and our wall

2952
02:15:11,700 --> 02:15:12,790
would be against it.

2953
02:15:12,790 --> 02:15:15,990
So we won't be able to maintain necessarily

2954
02:15:15,990 --> 02:15:17,100
their side of the wall.

2955
02:15:17,100 --> 02:15:19,430
But we can continue having communications

2956
02:15:19,430 --> 02:15:23,510
through the process as well as once the property is fully

2957
02:15:23,510 --> 02:15:26,590
developed to make sure that that wall is maintained on their side

2958
02:15:26,590 --> 02:15:27,290
as well.

2959
02:15:27,290 --> 02:15:28,190
OK.

2960
02:15:28,190 --> 02:15:32,470
I mean, other than these two questions, which, again,

2961
02:15:32,470 --> 02:15:34,610
have been brought through our residents,

2962
02:15:34,610 --> 02:15:38,210
which I appreciate their input, I

2963
02:15:39,100 --> 02:15:43,810
think the project is thoughtful towards the community.

2964
02:15:44,930 --> 02:15:47,730
And there are property rights that we need

2965
02:15:47,730 --> 02:15:50,730
to respect from both parties.

2966
02:15:51,850 --> 02:15:54,130
Those are my questions for now.

2967
02:15:54,130 --> 02:15:54,630
Thank you.

2968
02:15:54,630 --> 02:15:56,250
I have some comments, Mayor.

2969
02:15:56,250 --> 02:15:57,850
Councilwoman Porras.

2970
02:15:57,850 --> 02:15:59,810
Thank you.

2971
02:15:59,810 --> 02:16:03,270
I'm also in agreement with my colleague.

2972
02:16:03,270 --> 02:16:05,470
Well, first of all, I want to thank the residents.

2973
02:16:05,470 --> 02:16:06,720
Thank you guys for showing up.

2974
02:16:06,720 --> 02:16:07,730
Thank you for coming.

2975
02:16:07,730 --> 02:16:09,490
It takes a lot of courage.

2976
02:16:09,490 --> 02:16:10,790
It takes a lot of organizing.

2977
02:16:10,790 --> 02:16:13,500
But obviously, you're showing that you really

2978
02:16:13,500 --> 02:16:15,290
care about your community.

2979
02:16:15,290 --> 02:16:18,430
Many of you have been living there over two decades.

2980
02:16:18,430 --> 02:16:22,300
And so it's always unfortunate when

2981
02:16:22,290 --> 02:16:25,730
we have these cases because we're

2982
02:16:25,730 --> 02:16:27,730
faced with a community that wants

2983
02:16:27,730 --> 02:16:30,990
to protect their residents and their people.

2984
02:16:30,990 --> 02:16:35,000
And then you're also dealing with property owners.

2985
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:37,559
And so the best way to really balance it

2986
02:16:37,559 --> 02:16:40,200
is what what's happening now.

2987
02:16:40,200 --> 02:16:42,980
And I do want to thank the applicant, Melissa.

2988
02:16:42,980 --> 02:16:44,900
She's someone I truly do respect.

2989
02:16:44,900 --> 02:16:48,959
Thank you having those conversations with the residents

2990
02:16:48,959 --> 02:16:50,420
and getting their feedback.

2991
02:16:50,420 --> 02:16:54,379
And that's really the point where we both converge,

2992
02:16:54,379 --> 02:16:56,540
the residents and the owners.

2993
02:16:56,540 --> 02:16:58,620
And we try to negotiate.

2994
02:16:58,620 --> 02:17:00,820
We try to come to an agreement.

2995
02:17:00,820 --> 02:17:04,400
And I think that, as my colleague Councilwoman

2996
02:17:04,400 --> 02:17:07,400
Reinoso mentioned, we heard from you guys

2997
02:17:07,400 --> 02:17:11,200
right now, the two things that were just mentioned.

2998
02:17:11,200 --> 02:17:14,400
I know that I would be in agreement with making sure

2999
02:17:14,400 --> 02:17:16,440
that there is a concrete wall if that's

3000
02:17:16,440 --> 02:17:18,840
what the residents desire.

3001
02:17:19,160 --> 02:17:22,139
The other thing is, as far as the gas station,

3002
02:17:22,139 --> 02:17:24,800
I know that it was taken into consideration.

3003
02:17:24,800 --> 02:17:26,360
And there were a lot of-- there was an evaluation done

3004
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:27,299
on different things.

3005
02:17:27,299 --> 02:17:30,000
But is it still a possibility, something

3006
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:34,500
that you can consider, moving it to the other side where there's

3007
02:17:34,500 --> 02:17:35,500
a lake?

3008
02:17:35,500 --> 02:17:37,100
It sounds like the residents believe

3009
02:17:37,100 --> 02:17:41,900
that's where it would have the least impact.

3010
02:17:42,400 --> 02:17:43,677
Let me see.

3011
02:17:43,677 --> 02:17:45,260
And, I mean, it sounds like you're not

3012
02:17:45,260 --> 02:17:46,780
going to have-- the gas station is not going

3013
02:17:46,780 --> 02:17:47,863
to have a car wash, right?

3014
02:17:47,863 --> 02:17:49,100
No car wash, correct.

3015
02:17:49,100 --> 02:17:51,660
Because I think I had heard that previously from--

3016
02:17:51,660 --> 02:17:54,400
I think they were very concerned about the car wash.

3017
02:17:54,400 --> 02:17:56,480
But now seeing that it's 140 feet,

3018
02:17:56,480 --> 02:17:58,860
the concern is moving the Navarro

3019
02:17:58,860 --> 02:18:04,459
and then having the queuing for the pharmacy at the rear

3020
02:18:04,459 --> 02:18:06,820
at a lesser setback.

3021
02:18:06,820 --> 02:18:09,700
We've already gone through the Miami-Dade County DERM

3022
02:18:09,700 --> 02:18:11,799
process for this site.

3023
02:18:11,799 --> 02:18:14,500
And we would respectfully ask for it

3024
02:18:14,500 --> 02:18:20,940
to be preserved at this location since all the fire, county

3025
02:18:20,940 --> 02:18:25,980
traffic, city traffic is all accommodated for that location.

3026
02:18:25,980 --> 02:18:31,380
And just to know, would it be completely detrimental

3027
02:18:32,330 --> 02:18:36,389
and a big delay to reevaluate that

3028
02:18:36,389 --> 02:18:39,750
and look at the position of the gas station even--

3029
02:18:39,750 --> 02:18:41,670
It has been evaluated.

3030
02:18:41,670 --> 02:18:44,900
And this is the best location for it

3031
02:18:44,900 --> 02:18:48,570
as it relates to traffic, environmental, as well

3032
02:18:48,570 --> 02:18:53,370
as the distance from the rear property line.

3033
02:18:54,170 --> 02:18:56,170
OK.

3034
02:18:57,490 --> 02:18:59,209
Yeah, I mean, I think those were the two--

3035
02:18:59,209 --> 02:19:02,469
and again, personally, if I were living there,

3036
02:19:02,469 --> 02:19:06,650
I would also want the gas station on the other side

3037
02:19:06,650 --> 02:19:08,490
as well.

3038
02:19:08,490 --> 02:19:10,530
Again, I don't know when discussions took place

3039
02:19:10,530 --> 02:19:12,650
or when the meeting with the residents

3040
02:19:12,650 --> 02:19:18,430
happened, whether it was before the site plan was done or after.

3041
02:19:18,430 --> 02:19:21,370
But that would have been something

3042
02:19:21,370 --> 02:19:25,129
that I would have also suggested as well.

3043
02:19:25,129 --> 02:19:28,110
That's all the questions I have.

3044
02:19:28,110 --> 02:19:30,110
Councilman Pineyro?

3045
02:19:30,670 --> 02:19:32,670
Thank you, Mayor.

3046
02:19:32,670 --> 02:19:35,300
First of all, I also want to thank the residents

3047
02:19:35,300 --> 02:19:41,510
because, as we just heard, it is important for you guys

3048
02:19:41,510 --> 02:19:43,910
to get engaged, to participate.

3049
02:19:43,910 --> 02:19:45,610
We're talking about your community.

3050
02:19:45,610 --> 02:19:47,650
It's next door to this property.

3051
02:19:47,650 --> 02:19:49,190
So the fact that you're here is not

3052
02:19:49,190 --> 02:19:51,490
only because you care about your community,

3053
02:19:51,490 --> 02:19:54,100
but you also care about the City as well.

3054
02:19:54,100 --> 02:19:57,930
So I want to thank you for being here and for raising your voice.

3055
02:19:57,930 --> 02:20:01,670
Because at the end of the day, in my case,

3056
02:20:01,670 --> 02:20:04,710
I always try to do what is best for the residents

3057
02:20:04,710 --> 02:20:06,110
and for the community as well.

3058
02:20:06,110 --> 02:20:09,190
To the applicant, thank you so much for your time.

3059
02:20:09,190 --> 02:20:11,870
I know that we have been discussing

3060
02:20:11,870 --> 02:20:13,870
this different occasions.

3061
02:20:15,310 --> 02:20:20,710
Just for-- more for educational component or learning process,

3062
02:20:21,830 --> 02:20:24,270
especially for-- not only for the residents that

3063
02:20:24,270 --> 02:20:27,270
are here for-- but overall.

3064
02:20:27,370 --> 02:20:30,850
Looking at this particular site, can you

3065
02:20:30,850 --> 02:20:33,530
tell us what other type of project

3066
02:20:33,530 --> 02:20:37,210
can be built on this particular site other than the one

3067
02:20:37,210 --> 02:20:38,610
that you're proposing?

3068
02:20:38,610 --> 02:20:39,370
Absolutely.

3069
02:20:39,370 --> 02:20:43,610
As we mentioned in the-- in our presentation, what you're

3070
02:20:43,610 --> 02:20:47,100
allowed to do is 50% lot coverage,

3071
02:20:47,100 --> 02:20:48,610
where-- which is significant.

3072
02:20:48,610 --> 02:20:53,250
Six stories of height uses, all commercial office

3073
02:20:53,250 --> 02:20:57,450
uses, hotel uses, automotive uses, et cetera.

3074
02:20:59,930 --> 02:21:02,470
The reason why I ask you the question--

3075
02:21:02,470 --> 02:21:05,770
and I have mentioned it to you before-- is because--

3076
02:21:05,770 --> 02:21:08,530
and I want for the residents to understand this as well--

3077
02:21:08,530 --> 02:21:12,830
when we make these type of decisions, at least in my case,

3078
02:21:12,830 --> 02:21:14,530
I always try to go with what is going

3079
02:21:14,530 --> 02:21:18,330
to be the best for the City and for the residents.

3080
02:21:18,330 --> 02:21:22,730
So obviously, having a hotel right behind the property,

3081
02:21:22,730 --> 02:21:23,830
I would say no.

3082
02:21:23,830 --> 02:21:25,720
Well, you have the right to do it.

3083
02:21:25,720 --> 02:21:28,240
But I would say no.

3084
02:21:28,240 --> 02:21:31,840
But even with this particular project

3085
02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:34,840
that I'm 100% satisfied--

3086
02:21:35,640 --> 02:21:37,440
of course, I like to--

3087
02:21:37,440 --> 02:21:39,560
always to listen to the residents.

3088
02:21:39,560 --> 02:21:41,320
And I have to say no.

3089
02:21:41,320 --> 02:21:44,280
But I always going to look for the best interests of the City

3090
02:21:44,280 --> 02:21:45,500
and the residents as well.

3091
02:21:45,500 --> 02:21:48,660
So my point, especially to the residents that are here,

3092
02:21:48,660 --> 02:21:54,600
is that know that this particular proposal or site

3093
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:57,400
plan that you're looking at so far

3094
02:21:57,400 --> 02:22:01,520
is the best that we can have for this particular section.

3095
02:22:01,520 --> 02:22:04,140
Again, that I like it 100%.

3096
02:22:04,140 --> 02:22:06,540
I mean, I'm honest.

3097
02:22:06,960 --> 02:22:08,560
I mean, it's not 100%.

3098
02:22:08,560 --> 02:22:14,960
But it's going to be the best of what we have so far, especially

3099
02:22:14,960 --> 02:22:17,360
in that particular area.

3100
02:22:17,520 --> 02:22:20,320
The concerns that the residents have-- and I

3101
02:22:20,320 --> 02:22:24,200
agree with Councilwoman Reinoso as well-- if the wall

3102
02:22:24,200 --> 02:22:28,660
is something that they ask for, I know you already said yes,

3103
02:22:28,660 --> 02:22:32,200
so absolutely, I'll be in favor of that.

3104
02:22:32,200 --> 02:22:38,500
But I think it's important to understand, even if we say no--

3105
02:22:38,500 --> 02:22:41,180
and I'm going to ask this to my City Attorney--

3106
02:22:41,180 --> 02:22:45,740
even if we say no to the gas station as part of this project,

3107
02:22:45,740 --> 02:22:48,740
what would be the consequences?

3108
02:22:49,740 --> 02:22:52,140
Through the Mayor, Councilman, the issue

3109
02:22:52,140 --> 02:22:56,820
is the applicant has a property right and to be able to build

3110
02:22:56,820 --> 02:22:58,400
whatever the area is zoned for.

3111
02:22:58,400 --> 02:23:00,880
And as she stated, they can build a hotel.

3112
02:23:00,880 --> 02:23:02,840
They can build an office building 6 feet.

3113
02:23:02,840 --> 02:23:04,820
They can build entertainment establishments.

3114
02:23:04,820 --> 02:23:06,153
And they can build a whole host.

3115
02:23:06,153 --> 02:23:09,900
It's within our commercial corridor section of the City.

3116
02:23:09,900 --> 02:23:14,660
So if we were to decide today that a hard no on the gas,

3117
02:23:14,660 --> 02:23:20,270
then we might be exposing the City to some litigation.

3118
02:23:20,270 --> 02:23:20,770
Why?

3119
02:23:20,770 --> 02:23:23,490
Because that gas station produces a certain amount

3120
02:23:23,490 --> 02:23:23,990
of money.

3121
02:23:23,990 --> 02:23:24,782
It's a certain use.

3122
02:23:24,782 --> 02:23:26,630
That is a benefit to the landowner.

3123
02:23:26,630 --> 02:23:28,370
And by us saying no, then that could

3124
02:23:28,370 --> 02:23:33,130
be perceived as a possible taking of their rights

3125
02:23:33,130 --> 02:23:34,170
on the property.

3126
02:23:34,170 --> 02:23:36,530
Of course, we would defend that vigorously.

3127
02:23:36,530 --> 02:23:38,930
But it could happen.

3128
02:23:39,290 --> 02:23:40,225
Thank you.

3129
02:23:40,225 --> 02:23:41,850
And again, the reason why I ask these--

3130
02:23:41,850 --> 02:23:45,410
I like sparring with you, Lorenzo.

3131
02:23:45,410 --> 02:23:48,130
But the reason why I ask these questions is especially

3132
02:23:48,130 --> 02:23:51,500
for the residents to understand when we make

3133
02:23:51,500 --> 02:23:53,450
or when I make a decision, it's based

3134
02:23:53,450 --> 02:23:59,790
on what is actually best for us as a City overall.

3135
02:23:59,790 --> 02:24:01,690
I don't take it slightly.

3136
02:24:01,690 --> 02:24:06,410
I obviously always like to listen from legal.

3137
02:24:06,410 --> 02:24:09,570
But again, out of all the options,

3138
02:24:09,570 --> 02:24:13,130
certainly, this is the one that--

3139
02:24:13,130 --> 02:24:14,270
it makes sense.

3140
02:24:14,270 --> 02:24:15,190
Let's put it that way.

3141
02:24:15,190 --> 02:24:18,950
Now, I just want to clarify a few points that were actually

3142
02:24:18,950 --> 02:24:22,550
brought up because-- since we have the residents here.

3143
02:24:22,550 --> 02:24:26,150
When we speak about our children--

3144
02:24:26,310 --> 02:24:29,110
and I heard about the school across the street--

3145
02:24:29,110 --> 02:24:35,110
right now, we have-- finally, we have traffic lights in 112, 109.

3146
02:24:35,910 --> 02:24:38,830
We didn't have traffic lights before

3147
02:24:38,830 --> 02:24:41,230
in those particular sections.

3148
02:24:41,670 --> 02:24:46,730
When we speak about safety, we have our police officers here.

3149
02:24:46,730 --> 02:24:49,110
We have a great Police Department, by the way.

3150
02:24:49,110 --> 02:24:51,982
We have the lowest crime rate in Miami-Dade County as a city.

3151
02:24:51,982 --> 02:24:54,190
So we should be proud of our Police Department, which

3152
02:24:54,190 --> 02:24:55,542
I know we are.

3153
02:24:55,542 --> 02:24:57,250
But I just want to leave it on the record

3154
02:24:57,250 --> 02:25:00,510
because these are things that sometimes are not

3155
02:25:00,510 --> 02:25:05,230
actually mentioned when we talk about safety, for example.

3156
02:25:05,230 --> 02:25:08,510
Traffic, it's a reality that we're all facing.

3157
02:25:08,510 --> 02:25:11,710
Unfortunately, we have-- well, unfortunately for some.

3158
02:25:11,710 --> 02:25:15,910
Fortunately for businesses, we have over 120,000 vehicles

3159
02:25:16,150 --> 02:25:21,550
Monday through Friday coming, passing Doral, coming to work.

3160
02:25:21,690 --> 02:25:26,730
So we have a lot of cars Monday through Friday that, obviously,

3161
02:25:26,730 --> 02:25:30,610
having this particular project or adding this project

3162
02:25:30,610 --> 02:25:35,330
to the Doral Boulevard at this point is not going to make any

3163
02:25:35,330 --> 02:25:39,900
other difference since we already have 120,000 vehicles

3164
02:25:39,900 --> 02:25:40,970
coming into the city every day.

3165
02:25:40,970 --> 02:25:43,970
So the city is growing.

3166
02:25:44,490 --> 02:25:47,530
I mean, we're thinking about the city-- the future.

3167
02:25:47,530 --> 02:25:49,410
We're thinking about our children

3168
02:25:49,410 --> 02:25:51,410
when we make-- at least as a father, when

3169
02:25:51,410 --> 02:25:53,900
I make these decisions.

3170
02:25:53,900 --> 02:25:56,500
And when we speak about quality of life,

3171
02:25:56,500 --> 02:26:00,290
I certainly rather to have something like this than a hotel

3172
02:26:00,290 --> 02:26:04,390
or a medical building right behind this community.

3173
02:26:04,390 --> 02:26:09,190
So I just wanted to mention those comments.

3174
02:26:10,210 --> 02:26:15,100
And I also heard about rats behind one

3175
02:26:15,160 --> 02:26:16,320
of the shopping centers.

3176
02:26:16,320 --> 02:26:17,840
If that happens, now that we know,

3177
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:20,840
I'm sure the City Manager heard that.

3178
02:26:20,840 --> 02:26:23,400
So Code Compliance will be there tomorrow morning, I guess.

3179
02:26:23,400 --> 02:26:24,700
Yeah.

3180
02:26:24,700 --> 02:26:28,120
Because I hope that's not the case, by the way

3181
02:26:28,120 --> 02:26:30,680
because we take this very seriously.

3182
02:26:30,680 --> 02:26:34,240
But I want to-- again, and to conclude my comments,

3183
02:26:34,240 --> 02:26:36,840
I just want to make sure the residents understand

3184
02:26:36,840 --> 02:26:38,500
that when we make these decisions,

3185
02:26:38,500 --> 02:26:42,400
it's thinking about everything that was mentioned-- quality

3186
02:26:42,400 --> 02:26:45,640
of life, traffic, safety, and certainly

3187
02:26:45,880 --> 02:26:47,340
the future of our city.

3188
02:26:47,340 --> 02:26:51,000
So I just want to thank the residents once again.

3189
02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:54,880
The applicant, thank you for listening to the residents.

3190
02:26:54,880 --> 02:26:57,440
And hopefully, this is something that--

3191
02:26:57,440 --> 02:27:02,240
it will move forward with the residents' satisfaction.

3192
02:27:02,700 --> 02:27:05,200
And again, it's not going to be 100%.

3193
02:27:05,200 --> 02:27:07,420
Because in my case, it's not 100%.

3194
02:27:07,420 --> 02:27:09,600
I'm sure in your case, it's not going to be 100%.

3195
02:27:09,600 --> 02:27:13,300
But hopefully, we can make it happen.

3196
02:27:13,300 --> 02:27:14,000
Thank you.

3197
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:15,860
Thank you.

3198
02:27:15,860 --> 02:27:16,560
If I may.

3199
02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:17,140
Yes.

3200
02:27:17,140 --> 02:27:18,460
Vice Mayor Cabral?

3201
02:27:18,460 --> 02:27:23,180
Thank you for the presentation and for explaining

3202
02:27:23,180 --> 02:27:27,380
the changes and-- that you have implemented

3203
02:27:28,780 --> 02:27:33,580
after meeting with the residents and also reflecting

3204
02:27:34,740 --> 02:27:38,540
that only 40% compared to the 50% that is the maximum that

3205
02:27:38,540 --> 02:27:45,740
can be permit by code and also the setback on the property.

3206
02:27:46,500 --> 02:27:49,480
I do also understand as a resident.

3207
02:27:49,480 --> 02:27:52,320
And I know many of them for many years,

3208
02:27:52,320 --> 02:27:54,740
that they lived there for over two decades,

3209
02:27:54,740 --> 02:27:58,820
that it will be a great impact for them,

3210
02:27:58,820 --> 02:28:02,860
an area that is being vacant for so many years and an area that

3211
02:28:02,860 --> 02:28:09,200
is going to turn from being an empty lot into a commercial one.

3212
02:28:09,200 --> 02:28:12,230
And I also understand that many of them rather--

3213
02:28:12,230 --> 02:28:16,450
even though you explain about the impact of having something

3214
02:28:16,450 --> 02:28:19,450
residential than having something commercial--

3215
02:28:19,450 --> 02:28:22,690
moving along the day and part of the night

3216
02:28:22,690 --> 02:28:26,930
too, that for them is a disruption for what they already

3217
02:28:26,930 --> 02:28:30,530
have or having a residential there.

3218
02:28:30,730 --> 02:28:32,670
I really would like to see.

3219
02:28:32,670 --> 02:28:35,850
But you explained already that it cannot be and having it

3220
02:28:35,850 --> 02:28:37,330
instead on the other side.

3221
02:28:37,330 --> 02:28:38,890
Because that area--

3222
02:28:38,890 --> 02:28:41,210
I know the area very well.

3223
02:28:41,210 --> 02:28:42,970
So having it on the other side, just

3224
02:28:42,970 --> 02:28:46,100
for them-- to the traffic coming in and out from the community

3225
02:28:46,100 --> 02:28:47,450
will make a difference.

3226
02:28:47,450 --> 02:28:50,530
So that's the part that I'm disappointed that it cannot be

3227
02:28:50,530 --> 02:28:54,970
accomplished, because that will make a less impact on them

3228
02:28:54,970 --> 02:28:58,810
at the time that they are going to return or coming out from

3229
02:28:58,810 --> 02:29:00,650
their communities--

3230
02:29:00,650 --> 02:29:03,650
their community during the day.

3231
02:29:03,690 --> 02:29:07,750
So that's all that I have to say, really, about the project.

3232
02:29:07,750 --> 02:29:10,690
I do understand the rights that it has.

3233
02:29:10,690 --> 02:29:13,350
But I also understand the impact on the day-to-day

3234
02:29:13,350 --> 02:29:14,870
on the quality of life of the most

3235
02:29:14,870 --> 02:29:17,110
residents of the City for over two decades

3236
02:29:17,110 --> 02:29:20,710
before the city was even incorporated.

3237
02:29:21,110 --> 02:29:23,230
Thank you, Vice Mayor.

3238
02:29:23,230 --> 02:29:25,150
So thank you.

3239
02:29:25,150 --> 02:29:28,155
So I have a couple of comments and questions.

3240
02:29:28,155 --> 02:29:30,300
And first, I also want to thank the residents

3241
02:29:30,300 --> 02:29:31,300
for coming out and for--

3242
02:29:31,300 --> 02:29:33,683
I actually joined the first Zoom meeting that you all had--

3243
02:29:33,683 --> 02:29:35,350
I was there for a little while because I

3244
02:29:35,350 --> 02:29:38,330
had something to get to as well-- and heard some of it

3245
02:29:38,330 --> 02:29:40,910
and just wanted to hear the concerns from the residents.

3246
02:29:40,910 --> 02:29:43,207
I did respond to the emails that I received.

3247
02:29:43,207 --> 02:29:44,790
And I actually responded to all of you

3248
02:29:44,790 --> 02:29:47,230
that signed the petition today.

3249
02:29:47,230 --> 02:29:50,890
And so I thank you for your involvement and your input.

3250
02:29:50,890 --> 02:29:53,350
I think it's really valid when we have the opportunity

3251
02:29:53,350 --> 02:29:54,512
to listen to it.

3252
02:29:54,512 --> 02:29:56,970
I also want to put on the record that as elected officials,

3253
02:29:56,970 --> 02:29:59,590
we have a responsibility to protect the interests

3254
02:29:59,590 --> 02:30:02,190
and quality of life of our residents, while also

3255
02:30:02,190 --> 02:30:05,300
respecting the legal property rights of those who own

3256
02:30:05,300 --> 02:30:07,330
and develop land in our city.

3257
02:30:07,330 --> 02:30:12,730
The Council cannot deny or-- otherwise permitted uses solely

3258
02:30:12,770 --> 02:30:14,470
because there's opposition to it.

3259
02:30:14,470 --> 02:30:18,100
Actually, there's laws that completely protect us-- protect

3260
02:30:18,100 --> 02:30:19,430
the landowners from that.

3261
02:30:19,430 --> 02:30:22,730
At the same time, a property owner's rights to develop

3262
02:30:22,730 --> 02:30:26,900
does not exempt them or a project

3263
02:30:26,900 --> 02:30:30,210
from the City's requirements or from rigorous standards intended

3264
02:30:30,210 --> 02:30:32,670
to protect the surrounding communities.

3265
02:30:32,670 --> 02:30:34,550
And I believe that that's what our code does.

3266
02:30:34,550 --> 02:30:36,508
And so I want to address some of those comments

3267
02:30:36,508 --> 02:30:38,370
because I heard them here today.

3268
02:30:38,370 --> 02:30:41,325
And so I have many notes and questions that I'd like to ask.

3269
02:30:41,325 --> 02:30:43,950
And I am going to ask to go back to the site plan for a second.

3270
02:30:43,950 --> 02:30:46,290
And I heard the comments and concerns

3271
02:30:46,290 --> 02:30:49,105
of where the gas station is located.

3272
02:30:49,105 --> 02:30:50,730
And I know that the request has already

3273
02:30:50,730 --> 02:30:54,150
been made to potentially look at the changes to that.

3274
02:30:54,150 --> 02:30:56,630
And I know it's very late to do that at this point.

3275
02:30:56,630 --> 02:30:58,850
This project, before getting here,

3276
02:30:58,850 --> 02:31:02,530
has to go through several departments, state,

3277
02:31:02,530 --> 02:31:05,000
especially when you're talking about a gas station

3278
02:31:05,000 --> 02:31:10,400
and building things that have a lot of oversight.

3279
02:31:10,520 --> 02:31:15,320
Because there is state, federal, and local agencies

3280
02:31:15,920 --> 02:31:18,800
that will look at the compliance for something

3281
02:31:18,800 --> 02:31:19,900
like a gas station.

3282
02:31:19,900 --> 02:31:22,920
So I think it is unreasonable at this time to go back

3283
02:31:22,920 --> 02:31:25,420
and say, redo your entire site plan.

3284
02:31:25,420 --> 02:31:27,200
I also understand the process that's

3285
02:31:27,200 --> 02:31:31,680
put into place when looking at a site plan and the best way

3286
02:31:31,680 --> 02:31:35,640
to meet concurrences and circulation of the property

3287
02:31:35,640 --> 02:31:36,340
and all of that.

3288
02:31:36,340 --> 02:31:38,132
And so I'd like to go back to the site plan

3289
02:31:38,132 --> 02:31:40,160
to point out a couple of things and see

3290
02:31:40,160 --> 02:31:42,840
if there is any abilities to-- if there's

3291
02:31:42,840 --> 02:31:46,640
room for improvements, that we look at those,

3292
02:31:46,640 --> 02:31:49,600
and addressing some of those concerns.

3293
02:31:49,600 --> 02:31:50,280
So to my--

3294
02:31:50,280 --> 02:31:53,240
If I may, one thing about the gas station location is that,

3295
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:58,560
as was mentioned, 114th is the main entrance to Hawksnest.

3296
02:31:58,560 --> 02:32:01,720
So the idea that anybody would want a gas

3297
02:32:01,720 --> 02:32:06,400
station at their main entrance just seems a little irrational.

3298
02:32:06,400 --> 02:32:06,540
Yes.

3299
02:32:06,540 --> 02:32:10,600
And I want to also ask because I didn't see it

3300
02:32:10,600 --> 02:32:15,720
when I saw the photo with the Hawksnest and the site plan.

3301
02:32:15,720 --> 02:32:19,160
Is there an exit of Hawksnest on 112th?

3302
02:32:19,160 --> 02:32:19,660
Yes.

3303
02:32:19,660 --> 02:32:20,410
There is an exit--

3304
02:32:20,410 --> 02:32:21,535
That's the secondary exit--

3305
02:32:21,535 --> 02:32:23,800
Is there an entrance there as well?

3306
02:32:23,800 --> 02:32:23,640
Yes.

3307
02:32:23,640 --> 02:32:25,520
That's the secondary-- the main entrance--

3308
02:32:25,520 --> 02:32:26,120
It's the second entrance and exit?

3309
02:32:26,120 --> 02:32:26,940
Correct.

3310
02:32:26,940 --> 02:32:29,700
So the idea being that a gas station

3311
02:32:29,700 --> 02:32:32,800
wouldn't be at the main entrance where they have their landscape.

3312
02:32:32,800 --> 02:32:34,580
So I'm assuming one of the main reasons

3313
02:32:34,580 --> 02:32:37,300
this was considered, after listening to some of the input

3314
02:32:37,300 --> 02:32:40,700
that you made and that your experts look

3315
02:32:40,700 --> 02:32:43,860
at when developing a site plan, is the line of sight

3316
02:32:43,860 --> 02:32:46,580
of the building for the pharmacy for Navarro

3317
02:32:46,580 --> 02:32:49,000
is higher than the gas station.

3318
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:51,420
So if we're concerned about building

3319
02:32:51,420 --> 02:32:54,340
and from second stories, trees being higher

3320
02:32:54,340 --> 02:32:58,260
so that you can see, putting a higher line of sight

3321
02:32:58,260 --> 02:33:01,770
on an area that doesn't have homes directly behind it, where

3322
02:33:01,770 --> 02:33:05,630
there's a water and a buffer, makes sense to the experts

3323
02:33:05,630 --> 02:33:07,750
and to the engineers, which is what they've done.

3324
02:33:07,750 --> 02:33:09,450
They put your highest line of sight

3325
02:33:09,450 --> 02:33:12,690
on the section that doesn't have a direct line of sight

3326
02:33:12,690 --> 02:33:14,300
from your second homes.

3327
02:33:14,300 --> 02:33:17,570
So I understand that coming from the architects and the engineers

3328
02:33:17,570 --> 02:33:22,500
that are looking at-- and we look at that too when we're--

3329
02:33:22,500 --> 02:33:24,710
staff is looking at that when they are developing this.

3330
02:33:24,710 --> 02:33:28,450
By the way, just to understand this process, while they're

3331
02:33:28,450 --> 02:33:31,170
going to Miami-Dade and State and all these things that

3332
02:33:31,170 --> 02:33:33,850
have to get done for these approvals, DERM,

3333
02:33:33,850 --> 02:33:35,570
it's also going through our departments.

3334
02:33:35,570 --> 02:33:37,530
And it goes back and forth with comments

3335
02:33:37,530 --> 02:33:40,370
to make sure that they're meeting our Master Doral

3336
02:33:40,370 --> 02:33:42,950
Boulevard Plan, that they're meeting our codes, our setbacks,

3337
02:33:42,950 --> 02:33:48,210
which I'm grateful that your setbacks are triple what we're

3338
02:33:48,210 --> 02:33:50,210
required by code.

3339
02:33:50,250 --> 02:33:54,330
I think that that's very intentional because you

3340
02:33:54,330 --> 02:33:55,810
want to be good neighbors.

3341
02:33:55,810 --> 02:33:58,450
Now, understanding that this will have a drive-through,

3342
02:33:58,450 --> 02:34:01,670
as the Navarro will, I'd like to understand

3343
02:34:01,670 --> 02:34:03,290
where that drive-through goes through.

3344
02:34:03,290 --> 02:34:04,707
And can you explain to me the flow

3345
02:34:04,707 --> 02:34:06,750
of traffic for the property?

3346
02:34:06,750 --> 02:34:09,550
Because I think that also makes a big point

3347
02:34:09,550 --> 02:34:11,610
to why the Navarro is where it is

3348
02:34:11,610 --> 02:34:14,630
and the gas station is where it is.

3349
02:34:14,630 --> 02:34:17,590
Because the connectivity is also important for that flow

3350
02:34:17,590 --> 02:34:19,590
and the stacking.

3351
02:34:19,710 --> 02:34:20,430
Absolutely.

3352
02:34:20,430 --> 02:34:23,530
So you can see here the traffic improvements.

3353
02:34:23,530 --> 02:34:29,390
There is an exclusive right-turn lane into the Navarro Pharmacy

3354
02:34:29,390 --> 02:34:33,270
from the rear-- that's only right in, right out--

3355
02:34:33,270 --> 02:34:36,350
as well as the entrance, the exclusive right turn

3356
02:34:36,350 --> 02:34:42,350
that's marked as number 2, where anyone coming westbound on 41st

3357
02:34:43,310 --> 02:34:45,630
Street would enter the Navarro site.

3358
02:34:45,630 --> 02:34:48,110
At that entrance is where they would

3359
02:34:48,110 --> 02:34:51,110
enter going through the site.

3360
02:34:51,930 --> 02:34:58,990
So the actual drive-through area is to the rear of that site.

3361
02:34:58,990 --> 02:35:01,950
So it goes from right to-- into the site.

3362
02:35:01,950 --> 02:35:07,350
So right in from 114th out through the westbound.

3363
02:35:08,900 --> 02:35:11,570
So the stacking for the drive-through

3364
02:35:11,570 --> 02:35:15,500
which is on the rear of the Navarro, correct?

3365
02:35:15,500 --> 02:35:15,830
Yes.

3366
02:35:15,830 --> 02:35:17,310
Can you zoom in on the Navarro one?

3367
02:35:17,310 --> 02:35:18,370
I'm going to zoom in.

3368
02:35:18,370 --> 02:35:19,670
Yeah, I've got a better one.

3369
02:35:19,670 --> 02:35:22,250
Sorry, that was the gas station.

3370
02:35:22,250 --> 02:35:22,850
That one.

3371
02:35:22,850 --> 02:35:24,130
There we go.

3372
02:35:24,130 --> 02:35:27,290
So the stacking comes from the east to west?

3373
02:35:27,290 --> 02:35:29,290
Correct.

3374
02:35:30,580 --> 02:35:32,350
And then they go back out, and there's only right turn?

3375
02:35:32,350 --> 02:35:34,350
Correct.

3376
02:35:35,130 --> 02:35:38,410
So if you were to do that on the other side,

3377
02:35:38,410 --> 02:35:40,100
you would have the problem--

3378
02:35:40,100 --> 02:35:41,130
Exactly.

3379
02:35:41,130 --> 02:35:42,250
--of the stacking--

3380
02:35:42,250 --> 02:35:43,250
And the queuing.

3381
02:35:43,250 --> 02:35:46,390
--over-- right, and the queuing onto 112th?

3382
02:35:46,390 --> 02:35:48,390
Arguably, yes.

3383
02:35:49,163 --> 02:35:50,330
Internalize the [? sound. ?]

3384
02:35:50,330 --> 02:35:53,100
Engineering wise, I think it would be very difficult

3385
02:35:53,100 --> 02:35:55,480
unless you were to stick it in the middle of the property,

3386
02:35:55,480 --> 02:35:57,880
which would really disrupt.

3387
02:35:57,900 --> 02:35:58,400
Right.

3388
02:35:58,400 --> 02:36:02,440
The goal is for the Navarro and the gas station to--

3389
02:36:02,440 --> 02:36:03,120
Anchor.

3390
02:36:03,120 --> 02:36:07,320
--anchor the 27,000 square feet of food, beverage,

3391
02:36:07,600 --> 02:36:09,600
neighborhood-style uses.

3392
02:36:10,800 --> 02:36:12,280
And that central courtyard is intended

3393
02:36:12,280 --> 02:36:15,120
to be the outdoor dining associated

3394
02:36:15,120 --> 02:36:16,740
with those food and beverage.

3395
02:36:16,740 --> 02:36:20,260
And I can go to this site so you can see that there.

3396
02:36:20,260 --> 02:36:24,200
I did want to mention, also, just as we're on the topic here,

3397
02:36:24,200 --> 02:36:27,200
there was comments and concerns about noise

3398
02:36:27,200 --> 02:36:28,820
and odors and all these things.

3399
02:36:28,820 --> 02:36:33,640
I want to reiterate that we have protections of quality

3400
02:36:33,640 --> 02:36:35,180
of life for all of you on that.

3401
02:36:35,180 --> 02:36:39,980
We have current code that protects for noise.

3402
02:36:40,440 --> 02:36:45,160
We actually have even code that doesn't allow for dump trucks

3403
02:36:45,160 --> 02:36:48,103
to come into residential areas to pick up trash

3404
02:36:48,103 --> 02:36:49,520
at certain hours so you don't hear

3405
02:36:49,520 --> 02:36:52,280
the beeping of the car-- of the trucks

3406
02:36:52,280 --> 02:36:55,480
to back up into your areas at certain times.

3407
02:36:55,480 --> 02:36:56,980
So all of those things are already

3408
02:36:56,980 --> 02:36:59,260
built into our code to protect quality of life

3409
02:36:59,260 --> 02:37:00,200
for our residents.

3410
02:37:00,200 --> 02:37:02,300
So understand that there is protections

3411
02:37:02,300 --> 02:37:04,480
built in that if you run into these issues,

3412
02:37:04,480 --> 02:37:09,800
you can call Code Compliance, and they will be enforced.

3413
02:37:09,800 --> 02:37:12,600
I want to point out that just down the street-- and, look,

3414
02:37:12,600 --> 02:37:15,940
I-- we see this all the time-- two gas stations and one corner.

3415
02:37:15,940 --> 02:37:18,735
So I understand the theory of, "why is there another gas

3416
02:37:18,735 --> 02:37:19,360
station there?"

3417
02:37:19,360 --> 02:37:19,880
I can't answer that.

3418
02:37:19,880 --> 02:37:20,963
I don't own a gas station.

3419
02:37:20,963 --> 02:37:23,300
I can only imagine the competition

3420
02:37:23,300 --> 02:37:24,680
and so on and so forth.

3421
02:37:24,680 --> 02:37:27,780
And so to my understanding, the operator of this is Sunshine

3422
02:37:27,780 --> 02:37:29,780
Gas, which is not only a local resident--

3423
02:37:29,780 --> 02:37:32,978
the family lives in Doral-- but they also own--

3424
02:37:32,978 --> 02:37:34,520
they own several properties in Doral.

3425
02:37:34,520 --> 02:37:37,700
They operate most of the gas stations in Doral.

3426
02:37:37,700 --> 02:37:39,260
And their headquarter is in Doral.

3427
02:37:39,260 --> 02:37:43,900
So I know they will be thoughtful operators.

3428
02:37:43,900 --> 02:37:46,800
And they're not going to want to cause issues.

3429
02:37:46,800 --> 02:37:51,600
So I'm glad that there's no car wash.

3430
02:37:52,930 --> 02:37:55,330
And I want to point out that there

3431
02:37:55,330 --> 02:37:58,710
is no anticipated future car washes being put.

3432
02:37:58,710 --> 02:38:00,950
And I'd like to make sure that that's stated here.

3433
02:38:00,950 --> 02:38:03,810
Because we did have a situation down the road

3434
02:38:03,810 --> 02:38:06,530
where the gas station that was there later

3435
02:38:06,530 --> 02:38:09,350
came and added a car wash.

3436
02:38:09,350 --> 02:38:12,100
And the residents behind were very concerned

3437
02:38:12,100 --> 02:38:13,510
that there would be noise.

3438
02:38:13,510 --> 02:38:16,272
And we have had no noise complaints from them.

3439
02:38:16,272 --> 02:38:18,730
I also want to point out that it's a very similar situation

3440
02:38:18,730 --> 02:38:19,350
in that lot.

3441
02:38:19,350 --> 02:38:21,250
And I actually sent you all an email today

3442
02:38:21,250 --> 02:38:22,757
with the-- my own little site plan.

3443
02:38:22,757 --> 02:38:23,590
I'm not an engineer.

3444
02:38:23,590 --> 02:38:25,132
But I drew up my own little site plan

3445
02:38:25,132 --> 02:38:28,300
and showed you all that this is very consistent.

3446
02:38:28,300 --> 02:38:30,150
It's not only consistent throughout the county.

3447
02:38:30,150 --> 02:38:31,690
It's consistent throughout our city.

3448
02:38:31,690 --> 02:38:34,210
May not be what we absolutely love and think that

3449
02:38:34,210 --> 02:38:35,183
is the best solution.

3450
02:38:35,183 --> 02:38:36,850
And I understand some of us may not want

3451
02:38:36,850 --> 02:38:38,870
to live near a gas station.

3452
02:38:38,870 --> 02:38:41,350
But we already have this exact situation.

3453
02:38:41,350 --> 02:38:44,570
So there's precedence set that a gas

3454
02:38:44,570 --> 02:38:48,300
station is consistent near a residential community.

3455
02:38:48,300 --> 02:38:50,390
As a matter of fact, the residential community

3456
02:38:50,390 --> 02:38:54,890
that is behind the gas station is an apartment complex,

3457
02:38:54,890 --> 02:38:57,670
so it's actually taller than what your homes are.

3458
02:38:57,670 --> 02:39:00,650
We've never had complaints, to my understanding, for noise.

3459
02:39:00,650 --> 02:39:02,475
They operate a car wash.

3460
02:39:02,475 --> 02:39:03,850
And they're actually much closer.

3461
02:39:03,850 --> 02:39:05,808
They have a much smaller setback than what they

3462
02:39:05,808 --> 02:39:08,530
are proposing here for you all.

3463
02:39:08,530 --> 02:39:10,738
And they don't have the buffering that you all have.

3464
02:39:10,738 --> 02:39:13,300
So I don't think it's going to be as much of a nuisance

3465
02:39:13,300 --> 02:39:14,845
as you're anticipating.

3466
02:39:14,845 --> 02:39:16,470
And I understand living by an area that

3467
02:39:16,470 --> 02:39:19,850
was not developed for a very long time, we would all love--

3468
02:39:19,850 --> 02:39:21,550
I miss the cows.

3469
02:39:21,550 --> 02:39:22,610
Truly, I do.

3470
02:39:22,610 --> 02:39:25,170
But we have to understand that it's just the progress--

3471
02:39:25,170 --> 02:39:28,150
the natural progress and progression of our city.

3472
02:39:28,150 --> 02:39:33,300
So it's very difficult for us to deny the progress

3473
02:39:33,300 --> 02:39:35,100
that Doral is experiencing.

3474
02:39:35,100 --> 02:39:37,390
We can do our best to protect the quality of life

3475
02:39:37,390 --> 02:39:39,900
by enhancing our Comprehensive Plan, which

3476
02:39:39,900 --> 02:39:42,150
is what you saw us do earlier today, that's going back

3477
02:39:42,150 --> 02:39:45,910
to the State and continuing to make sure Doral evolves

3478
02:39:45,910 --> 02:39:48,740
to be the place and protect its natural characteristics

3479
02:39:48,740 --> 02:39:51,380
in our neighborhoods, which, I think, we've done very well.

3480
02:39:51,380 --> 02:39:54,000
So when I met with the applicant,

3481
02:39:54,000 --> 02:39:56,460
I did see a lot of the intention put behind this

3482
02:39:56,460 --> 02:39:58,742
and making sure by putting mature vegetation.

3483
02:39:58,742 --> 02:40:00,200
You don't see that from developers.

3484
02:40:00,200 --> 02:40:01,575
They don't put mature vegetation.

3485
02:40:01,575 --> 02:40:04,763
They put the bare minimum many times.

3486
02:40:04,763 --> 02:40:06,680
So I do think that there was a lot of thought.

3487
02:40:06,680 --> 02:40:08,638
And I do want to thank the developers for that.

3488
02:40:08,638 --> 02:40:10,740
And they took back a lot of our feedback,

3489
02:40:10,740 --> 02:40:14,380
understanding that you're going from a very-- from a vacant land

3490
02:40:14,380 --> 02:40:15,800
to a development.

3491
02:40:15,800 --> 02:40:17,700
But I think that there will be--

3492
02:40:17,700 --> 02:40:21,420
I think you'll be pleased to see that it won't be as harsh as it

3493
02:40:21,420 --> 02:40:25,300
may seem, at the same time, understanding that there will

3494
02:40:25,300 --> 02:40:28,280
be a difference, and there will be an impact to the communities.

3495
02:40:28,280 --> 02:40:30,340
And so I want to make sure all concurrences

3496
02:40:30,340 --> 02:40:31,940
have been met with traffic.

3497
02:40:31,940 --> 02:40:33,940
When we look at traffic, it's not just

3498
02:40:33,940 --> 02:40:35,620
what's captured on site.

3499
02:40:35,620 --> 02:40:37,800
They also look at the surrounding properties.

3500
02:40:37,800 --> 02:40:40,540
And that's why you see off-site improvements

3501
02:40:40,540 --> 02:40:43,440
not in front of their development, but down the road.

3502
02:40:43,440 --> 02:40:45,780
Can you talk a little bit about the concurrences

3503
02:40:45,780 --> 02:40:47,140
in the traffic studies?

3504
02:40:47,140 --> 02:40:47,640
Natalia?

3505
02:40:47,640 --> 02:40:48,320
Yeah, go ahead.

3506
02:40:48,320 --> 02:40:49,660
We have our traffic engineer.

3507
02:40:49,660 --> 02:40:51,496
She's here.

3508
02:40:51,496 --> 02:40:52,328
Go ahead.

3509
02:40:52,328 --> 02:40:53,160
Thank you.

3510
02:40:53,160 --> 02:40:55,000
Natalia Lercari with Bowman.

3511
02:40:55,000 --> 02:40:57,180
So when we do the traffic studies,

3512
02:40:57,180 --> 02:40:59,975
they were required to go out there and collect the existing

3513
02:40:59,975 --> 02:41:01,100
traffic that's on the road.

3514
02:41:01,100 --> 02:41:03,630
And so for this particular project,

3515
02:41:03,630 --> 02:41:04,480
we looked at all the intersections

3516
02:41:04,480 --> 02:41:06,548
all the way from the Turnpike to 107.

3517
02:41:06,548 --> 02:41:07,340
So we go out there.

3518
02:41:07,340 --> 02:41:09,653
We collect existing counts, the worst times of the day.

3519
02:41:09,653 --> 02:41:11,320
So you're collecting in the morning rush

3520
02:41:11,320 --> 02:41:12,695
hour, when everyone goes to work,

3521
02:41:12,695 --> 02:41:14,550
when the kids go to school.

3522
02:41:14,550 --> 02:41:16,680
We collect it in the midday and in the afternoon, when the most

3523
02:41:16,680 --> 02:41:18,800
traffic is on the road.

3524
02:41:18,800 --> 02:41:20,540
And to answer one of the resident questions,

3525
02:41:20,540 --> 02:41:23,400
we did include all the community developments that

3526
02:41:23,400 --> 02:41:24,260
are in the surrounding area.

3527
02:41:24,260 --> 02:41:26,540
So it included Bridge Point, which is across from us,

3528
02:41:26,540 --> 02:41:28,200
and four or five other developments

3529
02:41:28,200 --> 02:41:31,620
that are not yet built but that have been approved by the City.

3530
02:41:31,620 --> 02:41:33,868
So all of that gets included in our study.

3531
02:41:33,868 --> 02:41:35,660
And then we add our project on top of that.

3532
02:41:35,660 --> 02:41:37,920
And we look at all those intersections.

3533
02:41:37,920 --> 02:41:40,720
And this also includes the improvements

3534
02:41:40,720 --> 02:41:42,420
for pedestrian crosswalks?

3535
02:41:42,420 --> 02:41:42,920
Correct.

3536
02:41:42,920 --> 02:41:44,980
I heard earlier there's concerns there--

3537
02:41:44,980 --> 02:41:48,620
this is now a vacant land that will have not only

3538
02:41:48,620 --> 02:41:51,380
sidewalk built so it creates connectivity,

3539
02:41:51,380 --> 02:41:53,640
and there's now ability to walk safer,

3540
02:41:53,640 --> 02:41:55,200
but it will include crosswalks.

3541
02:41:55,200 --> 02:41:56,260
It will.

3542
02:41:56,260 --> 02:41:59,220
It'll include, by requirement by the City of Doral and Miami-Dade

3543
02:41:59,220 --> 02:42:02,260
County, special emphasis crosswalks across our driveways.

3544
02:42:02,260 --> 02:42:05,445
And I believe at 112 and 114 or 112,

3545
02:42:05,445 --> 02:42:06,820
Bridge Point is already upgrading

3546
02:42:06,820 --> 02:42:08,600
that entire intersection, if not already,

3547
02:42:08,600 --> 02:42:10,680
with special emphasis crosswalks and [INAUDIBLE].

3548
02:42:10,680 --> 02:42:14,740
And those crosswalks have the-- where you can push for walking,

3549
02:42:14,740 --> 02:42:15,820
and it'll have--

3550
02:42:15,820 --> 02:42:17,343
At the signalized intersection, yes.

3551
02:42:17,343 --> 02:42:19,260
At the driveways, where it's unsignalized, no.

3552
02:42:19,260 --> 02:42:19,760
Right, not the driveways.

3553
02:42:19,760 --> 02:42:22,180
But I think the concern was the crossing of 41st Street.

3554
02:42:22,180 --> 02:42:22,270
Yes, of course.

3555
02:42:22,270 --> 02:42:24,260
All of that is updated when they were-- they're

3556
02:42:24,260 --> 02:42:27,860
updating 112 through-- now with Bridge Point.

3557
02:42:30,660 --> 02:42:35,120
And if our staff wants to address this concern as well--

3558
02:42:35,120 --> 02:42:36,920
we also look at the traffic analysis.

3559
02:42:36,920 --> 02:42:38,610
Our team looks at--

3560
02:42:38,610 --> 02:42:40,360
Public Works look at the traffic analysis.

3561
02:42:40,360 --> 02:42:44,250
We don't just take the applicant's traffic studies

3562
02:42:44,250 --> 02:42:45,110
word for it.

3563
02:42:45,110 --> 02:42:49,300
We also take a look at the impacts

3564
02:42:49,300 --> 02:42:53,610
from going from a vacant land to going to its uses and--

3565
02:42:53,610 --> 02:42:54,390
Yeah, absolutely.

3566
02:42:54,390 --> 02:42:55,950
So it goes through County Traffic.

3567
02:42:55,950 --> 02:42:58,770
And then we have our own analysis within the city

3568
02:42:58,770 --> 02:43:01,100
to determine whether or not it is

3569
02:43:01,100 --> 02:43:03,690
viable for the city's purposes.

3570
02:43:03,690 --> 02:43:05,407
There are comments that come back.

3571
02:43:05,407 --> 02:43:06,990
We send the comments to the applicant.

3572
02:43:06,990 --> 02:43:08,510
And the applicant addresses their--

3573
02:43:08,510 --> 02:43:11,190
the comments that the city has, if any.

3574
02:43:11,190 --> 02:43:15,100
So it's analyzed in the county and in the city.

3575
02:43:15,100 --> 02:43:17,100
OK, perfect.

3576
02:43:17,970 --> 02:43:18,930
Going through some of my notes because there

3577
02:43:18,930 --> 02:43:20,330
was a lot of comments put.

3578
02:43:20,330 --> 02:43:22,330
And so I want to make sure we address everything

3579
02:43:22,330 --> 02:43:24,690
that the residents have stated.

3580
02:43:24,690 --> 02:43:27,790
I'll go back just real quick before I close to things--

3581
02:43:27,790 --> 02:43:30,190
to the health concerns.

3582
02:43:31,100 --> 02:43:35,650
The gas stations would not be allowed in a residential area

3583
02:43:35,650 --> 02:43:36,690
if the transmissions-- and I understand

3584
02:43:36,690 --> 02:43:39,810
that there's particles and things that are transmitted

3585
02:43:39,810 --> 02:43:40,590
when there's gas.

3586
02:43:40,590 --> 02:43:41,965
It's the same as our cell phones.

3587
02:43:41,965 --> 02:43:45,230
We know our cell phones radiate-- have radiation.

3588
02:43:45,230 --> 02:43:46,290
And we still use them.

3589
02:43:46,290 --> 02:43:47,130
We don't get rid of them.

3590
02:43:47,130 --> 02:43:49,880
Our microwaves-- we don't stop using microwaves

3591
02:43:49,880 --> 02:43:50,810
because we know that there's radiation.

3592
02:43:50,810 --> 02:43:52,710
And we're all impacted in different ways

3593
02:43:52,710 --> 02:43:54,330
and impacts our lives.

3594
02:43:54,330 --> 02:43:57,770
However, there is certain EPA standards.

3595
02:43:57,770 --> 02:44:00,700
And if those standards are met and the safety measures

3596
02:44:00,700 --> 02:44:03,700
are implemented, there's no opposition

3597
02:44:06,670 --> 02:44:11,990
that can be stated for a legal sufficient argument

3598
02:44:11,990 --> 02:44:18,700
that a gas station is not-- would not be allowed, correct?

3599
02:44:18,700 --> 02:44:18,670
Yes, correct.

3600
02:44:18,670 --> 02:44:19,170
OK.

3601
02:44:19,170 --> 02:44:23,970
Have the residents put any legal sufficient evidence

3602
02:44:24,700 --> 02:44:28,475
on the record that you feel that we would be able to--

3603
02:44:28,475 --> 02:44:30,350
I mean, the residents' testimony is something

3604
02:44:30,350 --> 02:44:32,750
that you need to weigh in conjunction

3605
02:44:32,750 --> 02:44:35,270
with the presentation, everything that you've heard.

3606
02:44:35,270 --> 02:44:37,830
There's nothing they've cited that would

3607
02:44:37,830 --> 02:44:41,220
make me give the opinion that this is something

3608
02:44:41,220 --> 02:44:44,580
we need to reconsider that is imminent danger to the health

3609
02:44:44,580 --> 02:44:46,860
safety of the residents of Doral.

3610
02:44:46,860 --> 02:44:50,660
So to our staff that has recommended for approval,

3611
02:44:50,660 --> 02:44:55,420
the applicant has met all legal requirements, concurrences,

3612
02:44:55,420 --> 02:45:00,820
and code requirements for land use and Comprehensive Plan

3613
02:45:01,620 --> 02:45:05,120
within its zoning and land use rights?

3614
02:45:05,120 --> 02:45:06,620
That is correct, Mayor.

3615
02:45:06,620 --> 02:45:08,510
OK.

3616
02:45:08,510 --> 02:45:10,400
All my questions have been answered.

3617
02:45:10,400 --> 02:45:13,720
Again, I want to thank the residents for coming out.

3618
02:45:13,720 --> 02:45:17,160
I know it takes a lot to be out here and discussing.

3619
02:45:17,160 --> 02:45:19,180
I know we all care about the community.

3620
02:45:19,180 --> 02:45:20,780
I live right down the street.

3621
02:45:20,780 --> 02:45:23,820
So we want to make sure that the best is

3622
02:45:23,820 --> 02:45:25,800
being done for our community.

3623
02:45:25,800 --> 02:45:27,663
And we try and work with these applicants as best as possible.

3624
02:45:27,663 --> 02:45:29,205
And I want to thank them because they

3625
02:45:29,205 --> 02:45:31,100
did incorporate the comments that I made

3626
02:45:31,100 --> 02:45:32,900
in concerns to the property.

3627
02:45:32,900 --> 02:45:36,140
And I do think that it has been done with all the thought

3628
02:45:36,140 --> 02:45:36,760
process.

3629
02:45:36,760 --> 02:45:40,740
It was not trying to shove sardines in a sardine can.

3630
02:45:40,740 --> 02:45:43,520
There's a lot of open space, extra parking, which we-- we're

3631
02:45:43,520 --> 02:45:45,520
always concerned about.

3632
02:45:45,760 --> 02:45:47,440
And there's always a push and a shove

3633
02:45:47,440 --> 02:45:51,400
there with the developments, sufficient setbacks

3634
02:45:51,120 --> 02:45:52,500
and landscaping.

3635
02:45:52,500 --> 02:45:55,440
So with all that in mind, I'm satisfied

3636
02:45:55,440 --> 02:46:00,460
with the responses and also the residents' concerns being met.

3637
02:46:00,460 --> 02:46:02,480
I'm in favor of the wall if that is

3638
02:46:02,480 --> 02:46:05,815
the will of the Council as-- which I think

3639
02:46:05,815 --> 02:46:06,940
we're all in favor of that.

3640
02:46:06,940 --> 02:46:10,760
I believe our-- does our code prohibit a--

3641
02:46:10,760 --> 02:46:14,200
do you need something from us in addition to being able to allow

3642
02:46:14,200 --> 02:46:15,440
the 6-foot wall?

3643
02:46:15,440 --> 02:46:18,940
So you can go up to 8 feet in the district between the buffer.

3644
02:46:18,940 --> 02:46:24,200
So if Melissa wants to proffer specific footage right now

3645
02:46:24,200 --> 02:46:25,600
to proffer on the record.

3646
02:46:25,600 --> 02:46:26,517
Are we OK with 6 feet?

3647
02:46:26,517 --> 02:46:28,160
Do we want 8 feet?

3648
02:46:28,160 --> 02:46:30,440
Are we OK with-- you want taller?

3649
02:46:30,440 --> 02:46:31,240
[INAUDIBLE]

3650
02:46:31,240 --> 02:46:32,278
So can we go to 8 feet?

3651
02:46:32,278 --> 02:46:33,320
Are you all OK with that?

3652
02:46:33,320 --> 02:46:37,540
I would recommend 6 feet because when-- the site currently

3653
02:46:37,540 --> 02:46:38,900
is undeveloped.

3654
02:46:38,900 --> 02:46:41,500
So it will be filled because it's all invasive wetlands.

3655
02:46:41,500 --> 02:46:42,625
So it's going to be higher.

3656
02:46:42,625 --> 02:46:45,600
So my concern is you're going to have a very tall wall.

3657
02:46:45,600 --> 02:46:49,520
And what they have today is, I would say, a 4,

3658
02:46:49,520 --> 02:46:53,120
5-foot chain-link fence with, I think,

3659
02:46:53,240 --> 02:46:55,640
6-foot pillars on their side.

3660
02:46:55,640 --> 02:46:58,380
So an 8-foot fence would be double.

3661
02:46:58,380 --> 02:47:02,960
It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as they may think.

3662
02:47:02,960 --> 02:47:06,200
So I would suggest a 6-foot fence because once we elevate

3663
02:47:06,200 --> 02:47:07,940
our site, that will be sufficient.

3664
02:47:07,940 --> 02:47:11,900
And you think your elevation's going to be 2 feet, 3 feet once

3665
02:47:11,900 --> 02:47:13,900
you fill?

3666
02:47:14,180 --> 02:47:14,760
3 feet?

3667
02:47:14,760 --> 02:47:15,620
4 feet, we're being told.

3668
02:47:15,620 --> 02:47:16,180
Huh?

3669
02:47:16,180 --> 02:47:17,480
I'm being told 4 feet.

3670
02:47:17,480 --> 02:47:18,400
4 feet?

3671
02:47:18,400 --> 02:47:18,200
Yeah.

3672
02:47:18,200 --> 02:47:18,560
4 feet?

3673
02:47:18,560 --> 02:47:19,600
OK.

3674
02:47:19,600 --> 02:47:21,900
So I just think that we should be careful with that.

3675
02:47:21,900 --> 02:47:23,520
So we'll stay with 6 feet.

3676
02:47:23,520 --> 02:47:27,700
I'm OK with the wall-- with the concrete wall

3677
02:47:27,700 --> 02:47:30,340
if the residents are OK and understand what that is.

3678
02:47:30,340 --> 02:47:30,840
I think--

3679
02:47:30,840 --> 02:47:31,673
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

3680
02:47:31,673 --> 02:47:33,673
Absolutely.

3681
02:47:34,300 --> 02:47:36,250
The trees that they're putting are mature trees.

3682
02:47:36,250 --> 02:47:37,530
And they have to grow.

3683
02:47:37,530 --> 02:47:38,970
You're not going to get fully--

3684
02:47:38,970 --> 02:47:41,270
you're not going to get full 20-foot trees.

3685
02:47:41,270 --> 02:47:42,490
That's impossible.

3686
02:47:42,490 --> 02:47:48,270
But you will get, I think, plenty of buffer and vegetation.

3687
02:47:48,270 --> 02:47:50,170
And then the trees will grow.

3688
02:47:50,170 --> 02:47:53,380
And we don't allow them to have dead trees on their property.

3689
02:47:53,380 --> 02:47:54,130
They will enforce.

3690
02:47:54,130 --> 02:47:56,900
We will come and fine them for that.

3691
02:47:56,900 --> 02:47:56,690
Absolutely.

3692
02:47:56,690 --> 02:47:57,390
So don't worry.

3693
02:47:57,390 --> 02:47:58,650
The trees will survive.

3694
02:47:58,650 --> 02:47:59,530
And they will grow.

3695
02:47:59,530 --> 02:48:01,710
And the City makes sure of that.

3696
02:48:01,710 --> 02:48:04,830
So yeah, if we having our best.

3697
02:48:04,830 --> 02:48:06,970
Also, the other change from what was submitted

3698
02:48:06,970 --> 02:48:10,500
is the change to the elevation of the Navarro

3699
02:48:10,500 --> 02:48:14,300
to incorporate the Bahamian yellow just as accent.

3700
02:48:14,300 --> 02:48:16,470
So if that's OK for modification on the record--

3701
02:48:16,470 --> 02:48:16,530
That's fine.

3702
02:48:16,530 --> 02:48:17,613
--that would be wonderful.

3703
02:48:17,613 --> 02:48:19,613
We'll memorialize that.

3704
02:48:20,570 --> 02:48:21,270
All right.

3705
02:48:21,270 --> 02:48:22,190
Thank you very much.

3706
02:48:22,190 --> 02:48:24,230
Again, I'm satisfied with the responses.

3707
02:48:24,230 --> 02:48:27,910
I think that we have been able to, as much as possible,

3708
02:48:27,910 --> 02:48:31,830
come to a consensus and place of understanding.

3709
02:48:31,830 --> 02:48:35,430
And I know you all will be happy Navarro shoppers.

3710
02:48:35,430 --> 02:48:36,190
No?

3711
02:48:36,190 --> 02:48:38,190
[INAUDIBLE]

3712
02:48:38,230 --> 02:48:39,210
Oh, I wish.

3713
02:48:39,210 --> 02:48:41,210
They're long gone.

3714
02:48:41,290 --> 02:48:44,490
Maybe a small independent bookshop in those 27,000

3715
02:48:44,490 --> 02:48:45,190
square--

3716
02:48:45,190 --> 02:48:46,970
Maybe a small independent bookshop in the retail, yes.

3717
02:48:46,970 --> 02:48:48,170
We're hopeful for that.

3718
02:48:48,170 --> 02:48:49,630
All books are books.

3719
02:48:49,630 --> 02:48:52,450
And again, we don't engage in the back-and-forth debate.

3720
02:48:52,450 --> 02:48:55,110
So if some of you felt that you came up and we didn't respond,

3721
02:48:55,110 --> 02:48:57,700
understand it's our practice and policy not

3722
02:48:57,700 --> 02:48:59,300
to go back and forth in that because it just

3723
02:48:59,300 --> 02:49:00,290
opens up the door to a lot.

3724
02:49:00,290 --> 02:49:02,470
So we don't conduct in that.

3725
02:49:02,470 --> 02:49:04,130
But thank you very much for being here once again.

3726
02:49:04,130 --> 02:49:06,130
And I know we can't always make everybody happy.

3727
02:49:06,130 --> 02:49:08,390
But we do our best to try and listen to our residents

3728
02:49:08,390 --> 02:49:09,990
and comply within the law.

3729
02:49:09,990 --> 02:49:12,330
We do sit as a quasi-judicial board up here.

3730
02:49:12,330 --> 02:49:13,590
So thank you.

3731
02:49:13,590 --> 02:49:14,210
All right.

3732
02:49:14,210 --> 02:49:16,790
I need a motion to approve.

3733
02:49:16,790 --> 02:49:17,295
A motion.

3734
02:49:17,295 --> 02:49:18,170
But I have a comment.

3735
02:49:18,170 --> 02:49:20,900
Motion to approve by Councilwoman Reinoso.

3736
02:49:20,900 --> 02:49:21,930
And you're on the floor for a comment.

3737
02:49:21,930 --> 02:49:23,150
Thank you.

3738
02:49:23,150 --> 02:49:25,550
And also, one of the conversations

3739
02:49:25,550 --> 02:49:29,540
that I was having with the applicant's counsel

3740
02:49:29,540 --> 02:49:30,720
was about our children.

3741
02:49:30,720 --> 02:49:33,420
I wanted to make sure that the property was safe for them.

3742
02:49:33,420 --> 02:49:38,420
And they did tell me that they did consider 41st and having

3743
02:49:38,420 --> 02:49:41,180
ample space between 41st and the property.

3744
02:49:41,180 --> 02:49:42,500
I'm a mother of three.

3745
02:49:42,500 --> 02:49:44,800
And that's imperative.

3746
02:49:44,800 --> 02:49:46,320
I mean, all of us care about that.

3747
02:49:46,320 --> 02:49:48,640
So that was part of my conversations with them.

3748
02:49:48,640 --> 02:49:50,400
So they did take that into consideration--

3749
02:49:50,400 --> 02:49:53,100
the safety of our children and the community

3750
02:49:53,100 --> 02:49:55,140
that is going to visit that area.

3751
02:49:55,140 --> 02:50:01,140
And I do want to echo what Councilmember Pineyro said

3752
02:50:01,220 --> 02:50:05,940
as far as looking into what is going to be the least

3753
02:50:05,940 --> 02:50:07,440
impact to your community.

3754
02:50:07,440 --> 02:50:09,420
Because your community is our community.

3755
02:50:09,420 --> 02:50:11,180
And we're here for you.

3756
02:50:11,180 --> 02:50:13,340
Well, we're here because of you.

3757
02:50:13,340 --> 02:50:16,980
So I definitely do appreciate all the comments today.

3758
02:50:16,980 --> 02:50:18,440
I really did take it to heart.

3759
02:50:18,440 --> 02:50:22,220
It did open another perspective for me as well.

3760
02:50:22,220 --> 02:50:25,900
And I hope that I did a good job representing

3761
02:50:25,900 --> 02:50:28,640
the needs and the questions that you had today.

3762
02:50:28,640 --> 02:50:32,658
And I believe the applicant's counsel is very professional.

3763
02:50:32,658 --> 02:50:34,700
She's been doing this for a very, very long time.

3764
02:50:34,700 --> 02:50:36,180
She is an adversary.

3765
02:50:36,180 --> 02:50:40,400
And I know that she takes into consideration-- their team takes

3766
02:50:40,400 --> 02:50:44,240
into consideration the community that we represent

3767
02:50:44,440 --> 02:50:48,940
and the needs of the community in balance with their client.

3768
02:50:48,940 --> 02:50:51,740
So I appreciate everybody that came out today.

3769
02:50:51,740 --> 02:50:52,760
So thank you.

3770
02:50:52,760 --> 02:50:53,300
Thank you.

3771
02:50:53,300 --> 02:50:53,860
All right.

3772
02:50:53,860 --> 02:50:54,980
And we have a motion to approve.

3773
02:50:54,980 --> 02:50:55,800
We need a second.

3774
02:50:55,800 --> 02:50:56,360
Second.

3775
02:50:56,360 --> 02:50:57,960
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

3776
02:50:57,960 --> 02:50:59,720
Madam Clerk, please read the--

3777
02:50:59,720 --> 02:51:00,660
please call the roll.

3778
02:51:00,660 --> 02:51:02,660
Motion to approve moved by Councilwoman Reinoso,

3779
02:51:02,660 --> 02:51:03,952
seconded by Councilman Pineyro.

3780
02:51:03,952 --> 02:51:04,827
Councilwoman Reinoso?

3781
02:51:04,827 --> 02:51:05,327
Yes.

3782
02:51:05,327 --> 02:51:06,119
Councilman Pineyro?

3783
02:51:06,119 --> 02:51:06,619
Yes.

3784
02:51:06,619 --> 02:51:07,480
Councilwoman Porras?

3785
02:51:07,480 --> 02:51:08,280
Yes.

3786
02:51:08,280 --> 02:51:09,200
Vice Mayor Cabral?

3787
02:51:09,200 --> 02:51:09,800
No.

3788
02:51:09,800 --> 02:51:10,360
Mayor Fraga?

3789
02:51:10,360 --> 02:51:10,860
Yes.

3790
02:51:10,860 --> 02:51:11,520
Motion passes.

3791
02:51:11,520 --> 02:51:12,200
All right.

3792
02:51:12,200 --> 02:51:12,960
Thank you very much.

3793
02:51:12,960 --> 02:51:13,460
Thank you.

3794
02:51:13,460 --> 02:51:13,960
All right.

3795
02:51:13,960 --> 02:51:15,640
We move on to the next item.

3796
02:51:15,640 --> 02:51:17,640
Thank you.

3797
02:51:18,360 --> 02:51:20,452
Next item, Item 20D, A resolution of the Mayor

3798
02:51:20,452 --> 02:51:21,660
and the City Council of the--

3799
02:51:21,660 --> 02:51:22,960
[INAUDIBLE], thank you so much.

3800
02:51:22,960 --> 02:51:24,800
A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council of the City

3801
02:51:24,800 --> 02:51:27,425
of Doral, Florida, approving a site plan modification for Royal

3802
02:51:27,425 --> 02:51:30,700
Atlantic Realty, Inc., located at 2020 Northwest 89th Place

3803
02:51:30,700 --> 02:51:33,538
in the City of Doral, Florida, pursuant to Section 53-184(F)

3804
02:51:33,538 --> 02:51:35,580
of the City's Land Development Code and providing

3805
02:51:35,580 --> 02:51:37,980
for an effective date.

3806
02:51:38,260 --> 02:51:38,958
All right.

3807
02:51:38,958 --> 02:51:41,000
I'm going to go ahead and open up Public Hearing.

3808
02:51:41,000 --> 02:51:46,600
Public Hearing is now open for item 20D, 26-6694.

3809
02:51:46,600 --> 02:51:48,860
Anyone who would like to speak on this item, please

3810
02:51:48,860 --> 02:51:50,860
approach the podium.

3811
02:51:54,820 --> 02:51:55,340
OK.

3812
02:51:55,340 --> 02:51:59,222
Seeing no comments, the Public Comments is now closed.

3813
02:51:59,222 --> 02:52:00,680
Madam Clerk, let the record reflect

3814
02:52:00,680 --> 02:52:03,200
no one has chosen to speak at this time.

3815
02:52:03,200 --> 02:52:07,820
And we will take any ex parte communication

3816
02:52:08,620 --> 02:52:12,220
before we hear from the staff.

3817
02:52:14,740 --> 02:52:17,200
Any ex parte communication on this one?

3818
02:52:17,200 --> 02:52:17,700
OK.

3819
02:52:17,700 --> 02:52:19,140
Being none, go ahead--

3820
02:52:19,140 --> 02:52:19,640
Thank you.

3821
02:52:19,640 --> 02:52:20,600
--Mr. Magrisso.

3822
02:52:20,600 --> 02:52:21,100
OK.

3823
02:52:21,100 --> 02:52:23,250
So this is Royal Atlantic Realty,

3824
02:52:23,250 --> 02:52:26,450
Inc. They are coming for an industrial warehouse site plan

3825
02:52:26,450 --> 02:52:27,530
modification.

3826
02:52:27,530 --> 02:52:31,730
It is located at 2020 Northwest 89th Place,

3827
02:52:32,250 --> 02:52:33,830
close proximity to the Fingerlakes.

3828
02:52:33,830 --> 02:52:37,430
It's approximately total acreage of 2.3 acres.

3829
02:52:39,190 --> 02:52:43,330
The entire area is surrounded by Industrial future land use

3830
02:52:43,330 --> 02:52:45,730
categories and zoning districts.

3831
02:52:46,500 --> 02:52:48,270
These are the existing conditions.

3832
02:52:48,270 --> 02:52:51,590
If you see the top-right picture on the right,

3833
02:52:51,590 --> 02:52:53,850
you'll have the existing warehouses.

3834
02:52:53,850 --> 02:52:57,250
And to the east of that--

3835
02:52:57,250 --> 02:53:00,170
I mean, the west of that, you see the existing

3836
02:53:00,170 --> 02:53:02,370
three-story office building that they

3837
02:53:02,370 --> 02:53:05,290
are proposing to demolish and replace

3838
02:53:05,290 --> 02:53:10,900
by expanding the warehouses into the office space.

3839
02:53:11,890 --> 02:53:13,290
Here is the site plan.

3840
02:53:13,290 --> 02:53:15,850
As I said, that three-story office building

3841
02:53:15,850 --> 02:53:17,110
will be demolished.

3842
02:53:17,110 --> 02:53:18,890
It was developed in 1985.

3843
02:53:18,890 --> 02:53:24,470
And it's going to be redeveloped by more warehouses totaling

3844
02:53:24,470 --> 02:53:26,470
17,000, approximately, square feet.

3845
02:53:27,310 --> 02:53:29,290
You'll have 41 parking spaces.

3846
02:53:29,290 --> 02:53:30,610
And it'll be a modern look.

3847
02:53:30,610 --> 02:53:32,210
This is the landscape plan.

3848
02:53:32,210 --> 02:53:36,190
You'll see it's surrounded by trees and shrubs.

3849
02:53:36,190 --> 02:53:38,590
Here are the elevations.

3850
02:53:39,550 --> 02:53:43,350
These are the renderings of the proposed site.

3851
02:53:43,350 --> 02:53:45,150
It complies with all of our site plan

3852
02:53:45,150 --> 02:53:47,670
evaluation standards that are applicable.

3853
02:53:47,670 --> 02:53:50,470
And based on that, staff recommends

3854
02:53:50,470 --> 02:53:53,470
that you approve the modification of the site plan.

3855
02:53:53,470 --> 02:53:56,290
If you have any questions, I'm here to answer anything.

3856
02:53:56,290 --> 02:53:59,700
And Joe is also here for any questions that you may have.

3857
02:53:59,700 --> 02:54:00,700
Thank you, Mr. Magrisso.

3858
02:54:00,700 --> 02:54:04,870
Do we need to hear from the applicant?

3859
02:54:06,110 --> 02:54:06,830
No, Madam Mayor.

3860
02:54:06,830 --> 02:54:07,330
We agreed.

3861
02:54:07,330 --> 02:54:08,250
Just one correction.

3862
02:54:08,250 --> 02:54:09,810
That building has been demolished.

3863
02:54:09,810 --> 02:54:10,310
Has been?

3864
02:54:10,310 --> 02:54:10,850
The office.

3865
02:54:10,850 --> 02:54:11,350
Yeah.

3866
02:54:11,350 --> 02:54:12,890
So it was just, I guess, in between.

3867
02:54:12,890 --> 02:54:15,430
But the proposed construction is the new construction

3868
02:54:15,430 --> 02:54:16,630
on what is currently vacant.

3869
02:54:16,630 --> 02:54:17,350
OK.

3870
02:54:17,350 --> 02:54:17,850
Perfect.

3871
02:54:17,850 --> 02:54:18,890
Thank you very much.

3872
02:54:18,890 --> 02:54:20,120
I need a motion to approve if there's no--

3873
02:54:20,120 --> 02:54:20,840
Motion to approve.

3874
02:54:20,840 --> 02:54:22,507
Motion to approve by Councilman Pineyro.

3875
02:54:22,507 --> 02:54:23,100
Second.

3876
02:54:23,100 --> 02:54:25,300
Second by Councilwoman Reinoso.

3877
02:54:25,300 --> 02:54:25,800
All right.

3878
02:54:25,800 --> 02:54:26,970
Madam Clerk?

3879
02:54:26,970 --> 02:54:29,220
Motion to approve made by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

3880
02:54:29,220 --> 02:54:30,800
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

3881
02:54:30,800 --> 02:54:30,740
Councilman Pineyro?

3882
02:54:30,740 --> 02:54:31,120
Yes.

3883
02:54:31,120 --> 02:54:32,400
Councilwoman Reinoso?

3884
02:54:32,400 --> 02:54:32,220
Yes.

3885
02:54:32,220 --> 02:54:33,200
Councilwoman Porras?

3886
02:54:33,200 --> 02:54:33,260
Yes.

3887
02:54:33,260 --> 02:54:34,400
Vice Mayor Cabral?

3888
02:54:34,400 --> 02:54:34,540
Yes.

3889
02:54:34,540 --> 02:54:35,140
Mayor Fraga?

3890
02:54:35,140 --> 02:54:35,640
Yes.

3891
02:54:35,640 --> 02:54:36,260
Motion passes.

3892
02:54:36,260 --> 02:54:36,760
All right.

3893
02:54:36,760 --> 02:54:37,560
Thank you very much.

3894
02:54:37,560 --> 02:54:39,640
We'll move on to the next item, going to First Reading.

3895
02:54:39,640 --> 02:54:40,360
First Reading.

3896
02:54:40,360 --> 02:54:43,460
Ordinance Number 2026-18, Fourth Amendment to Downtown Doral MDA

3897
02:54:43,460 --> 02:54:44,280
and Pattern Book.

3898
02:54:44,280 --> 02:54:45,540
An ordinance of the Mayor and the City Council

3899
02:54:45,540 --> 02:54:47,220
of the City of Doral, Florida, approving the Fourth Amendment

3900
02:54:47,220 --> 02:54:48,670
to the Downtown Doral Master Development Agreement

3901
02:54:48,670 --> 02:54:50,180
and modifications to the Downtown Doral Urban

3902
02:54:50,180 --> 02:54:52,260
Regulations, Pattern Book, providing for recordation,

3903
02:54:52,260 --> 02:54:53,927
implementation, severability, conflicts,

3904
02:54:53,927 --> 02:54:54,940
and an effective date.

3905
02:54:54,940 --> 02:54:55,487
All right.

3906
02:54:55,487 --> 02:54:56,320
Thank you very much.

3907
02:54:56,320 --> 02:54:59,600
I'm going to go ahead and open up to Public Comments for this

3908
02:54:59,600 --> 02:55:02,660
Item 20E, also known as 26-6698.

3909
02:55:03,400 --> 02:55:08,440
Anyone who has any comments, please approach the podium.

3910
02:55:14,560 --> 02:55:15,600
OK.

3911
02:55:15,600 --> 02:55:17,340
Being none, Public Comments is now closed.

3912
02:55:17,340 --> 02:55:21,480
And I will take any ex parte communication.

3913
02:55:21,480 --> 02:55:26,640
I did meet with the applicant for a brief discussion.

3914
02:55:26,640 --> 02:55:28,380
And it will not affect my decision.

3915
02:55:28,380 --> 02:55:28,880
All right.

3916
02:55:28,880 --> 02:55:30,320
Mr. Magrisso.

3917
02:55:30,320 --> 02:55:32,780
So we don't have a presentation for this one.

3918
02:55:32,780 --> 02:55:36,520
I'll just explain what the modifications of the MDA are.

3919
02:55:36,520 --> 02:55:39,320
As the Mayor mentioned, this is the fourth modification

3920
02:55:39,320 --> 02:55:40,640
of the MDA.

3921
02:55:40,640 --> 02:55:42,200
The first thing the modification does

3922
02:55:42,200 --> 02:55:45,280
is reallocate the square footage that is allotted

3923
02:55:45,280 --> 02:55:47,280
throughout Downtown Doral.

3924
02:55:47,520 --> 02:55:51,120
Specifically, it's removing 100,000 square feet from

3925
02:55:52,240 --> 02:55:54,240
the retail allocation.

3926
02:55:54,740 --> 02:55:58,520
And it is being granted to the new hotel use.

3927
02:55:58,520 --> 02:56:02,400
So that's going to generate about 213 rooms.

3928
02:56:02,400 --> 02:56:04,940
So there's not an increase in square footage.

3929
02:56:04,940 --> 02:56:07,000
It's just, like I said, a reallocation

3930
02:56:07,000 --> 02:56:09,160
of what was already approved.

3931
02:56:09,160 --> 02:56:12,160
Additionally, the height that you

3932
02:56:12,520 --> 02:56:16,600
are allowed to build in Downtown Doral is being changed.

3933
02:56:16,600 --> 02:56:21,460
Currently, the city has matched the Miami-Dade County standards

3934
02:56:22,500 --> 02:56:24,200
of height.

3935
02:56:24,200 --> 02:56:27,580
Recently, Miami-Dade County shifted its standard

3936
02:56:27,580 --> 02:56:31,000
to match what the FAA standard is.

3937
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:35,600
So we are moving to the new FAA standard,

3938
02:56:35,600 --> 02:56:38,460
which is going to match Miami-Dade County's.

3939
02:56:38,460 --> 02:56:41,580
The other thing that the amendment does

3940
02:56:41,580 --> 02:56:46,220
is it caps the total dwelling unit allotment

3941
02:56:46,220 --> 02:56:50,300
that you are allowed to have to 35 units an acre.

3942
02:56:50,300 --> 02:56:54,540
So they will not be-- that's where they're capped at.

3943
02:56:54,540 --> 02:56:56,840
So you can't go above or below that number.

3944
02:56:56,840 --> 02:57:01,300
And the last thing it does is amends the Pattern Book.

3945
02:57:01,300 --> 02:57:04,340
The Pattern Book never contemplated single-family homes

3946
02:57:04,340 --> 02:57:06,240
within the Downtown Doral area.

3947
02:57:06,240 --> 02:57:10,280
You have a new development here that has single-family homes.

3948
02:57:10,280 --> 02:57:13,500
And the Pattern Book will now have design criteria

3949
02:57:13,500 --> 02:57:15,300
for single-family homes.

3950
02:57:15,300 --> 02:57:20,810
Other than that, unless I missed anything, that is the amendment.

3951
02:57:20,810 --> 02:57:24,900
And Joe is here if you have any questions.

3952
02:57:24,900 --> 02:57:25,370
Motion to approve.

3953
02:57:25,370 --> 02:57:27,430
Motion to approve by Councilwoman Cabral.

3954
02:57:27,430 --> 02:57:27,930
Second.

3955
02:57:27,930 --> 02:57:30,330
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

3956
02:57:31,900 --> 02:57:33,650
Is there any other additional questions, comments?

3957
02:57:33,650 --> 02:57:34,690
No.

3958
02:57:34,690 --> 02:57:38,610
All mine were addressed when we talked.

3959
02:57:38,610 --> 02:57:41,933
Motion to approve Ordinance Number 2026-18 on first reading

3960

Motion passes.

3972
02:57:51,470 --> 02:57:52,650

This was approved on first reading on April 8.

3988
02:58:34,970 --> 02:58:35,470
OK.

3989
02:58:35,470 --> 02:58:37,730

I think that's the--

4000

Yes, we did.

4001
02:59:04,530 --> 02:59:07,910

02:59:59,740 --> 03:00:02,740
20F, also known as 26-6703.

03:00:03,380 --> 03:00:06,500
Anyone who would like to speak at this time, please

I don't believe there's been any.

4045
03:00:22,420 --> 03:00:25,600
Mr. Magrisso, the floor is yours.

4046
03:00:25,600 --> 03:00:27,180
So this is Emre Tuna Investment.

4047
03:00:27,180 --> 03:00:28,180
It's a rezoning.

4048
03:00:28,180 --> 03:00:30,740
The property is located on 107th Avenue.

4049

03:00:32,840 --> 03:00:35,800

4052
03:00:37,800 --> 03:00:39,200
A quick background.

4053
03:00:39,200 --> 03:00:41,600

4054
03:00:41,600 --> 03:00:44,400
the City adopted Miami-Dade County's Zoning and Future Land

4055
03:00:44,400 --> 03:00:45,680
Use Maps.

4056
03:00:45,680 --> 03:00:49,320
When the City created its own Future Land Use Map and Zoning

4057
03:00:49,320 --> 03:00:54,120
Code, the original Zoning and Future Land Use

4058
03:00:55,560 --> 03:00:57,400
were incompatible with the two, that

4059
03:00:57,400 --> 03:00:59,800
being Business and Industrial.

4060
03:01:00,720 --> 03:01:04,600
In our code, those are incompatible uses,

4061
03:01:04,600 --> 03:01:08,710
so we are here to correct that to rezone the property so it's

4062
03:01:08,710 --> 03:01:11,710
compatible with your Comprehensive Plan.

4063
03:01:11,710 --> 03:01:13,610
The site, like I said, is Business.

4064
03:01:13,610 --> 03:01:15,470
The zoning district is Industrial.

4065
03:01:15,470 --> 03:01:19,670
To the north, you have Business and Industrial as well.

4066
03:01:19,670 --> 03:01:23,700
And to the south, it is not within the city limits.

4067
03:01:23,700 --> 03:01:27,590
These are the existing views of what is there now.

4068
03:01:27,590 --> 03:01:32,390
The rezoning is to Corridor Commercial from Industrial.

4069
03:01:33,700 --> 03:01:35,770
It's a permitted use for what is used currently

4070
03:01:35,770 --> 03:01:38,450
so they can continue operating with no issues.

4071
03:01:38,450 --> 03:01:41,390
This is just a cleanup for the City

4072
03:01:41,390 --> 03:01:44,110
to be compatible with one another.

4073
03:01:44,110 --> 03:01:46,470
The land use designation, like I said, is Business.

4074
03:01:46,470 --> 03:01:48,630
And based on this, staff recommends

4075
03:01:48,630 --> 03:01:51,910
to right the wrong that is currently

4076
03:01:51,910 --> 03:01:56,310
being done and approve the rezoning to Corridor Commercial.

4077
03:01:56,310 --> 03:01:59,350
And the applicant is here if you have any questions.

4078
03:01:59,350 --> 03:02:01,550
I just want to clarify that there's no proposed

4079
03:02:01,550 --> 03:02:02,610
development or anything.

4080
03:02:02,610 --> 03:02:04,370
This was just--

4081
03:02:04,370 --> 03:02:05,150
Correct, Mayor.

4082
03:02:05,150 --> 03:02:06,100
--a correction on--

4083
03:02:06,100 --> 03:02:06,635
Correct, Mayor.

4084
03:02:06,635 --> 03:02:07,550
--compatible uses--

4085
03:02:07,550 --> 03:02:08,500
Yes.

4086
03:02:08,500 --> 03:02:08,810
--within the area?

4087
03:02:08,810 --> 03:02:09,610
Yes.

4088
03:02:09,610 --> 03:02:10,590
Motion to approve.

4089
03:02:10,590 --> 03:02:12,677
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Cabral.

4090
03:02:12,677 --> 03:02:13,510
Do we have a second?

4091
03:02:13,510 --> 03:02:14,100
Second.

4092
03:02:14,100 --> 03:02:15,832
Second by Councilwoman Reinoso.

4093
03:02:15,832 --> 03:02:17,790
If there's no additional comments or questions,

4094
03:02:17,790 --> 03:02:19,690
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

4095
03:02:19,690 --> 03:02:22,148
Motion to approve Ordinance Number 2026-19 on first reading

4096
03:02:22,148 --> 03:02:24,273
made by Vice Mayor Cabral, seconded by Councilwoman

4097
03:02:24,273 --> 03:02:24,870
Reinoso.

4098
03:02:24,870 --> 03:02:25,770
Vice Mayor Cabral?

4099
03:02:25,770 --> 03:02:26,270
Yes.

4100
03:02:26,270 --> 03:02:27,170
Councilwoman Reinoso?

4101
03:02:27,170 --> 03:02:27,390
Yes.

4102
03:02:27,390 --> 03:02:28,182
Councilman Pineyro?

4103
03:02:28,182 --> 03:02:28,682
Yes.

4104
03:02:28,682 --> 03:02:29,530
Councilwoman Porras?

4105
03:02:29,530 --> 03:02:30,300
Yes.

4106
03:02:30,300 --> 03:02:30,290
Mayor Fraga?

4107
03:02:30,290 --> 03:02:30,790
Yes.

4108
03:02:30,790 --> 03:02:31,630
Motion passes.

4109
03:02:31,630 --> 03:02:32,150
All right.

4110
03:02:32,150 --> 03:02:35,500
We're now going to go to item 20H since we've already

4111
03:02:35,500 --> 03:02:36,970
exhausted 20Q.

4112
03:02:36,970 --> 03:02:41,330
20H, Ordinance Number 2026-21, Restating and Reaffirming Repeal

4113
03:02:41,330 --> 03:02:43,300
of Ordinance 2023-15.

4114
03:02:43,300 --> 03:02:44,490
An ordinance of the Mayor and the City Council of the City

4115
03:02:44,490 --> 03:02:46,410
of Doral, Florida, reaffirming and restating Ordinance Number

4116
03:02:46,410 --> 03:02:49,153
2023-15, providing for findings regarding pending litigation

4117
03:02:49,153 --> 03:02:51,570
concerning the retroactive application of Ordinance Number

4118
03:02:51,570 --> 03:02:54,462
2023-15, reaffirming the City's position that the retirement

4119
03:02:54,462 --> 03:02:57,170
system for elected officials was canceled and is no longer active

4120
03:02:57,170 --> 03:02:59,990
upon adoption of Ordinance Number 2023-15,

4121
03:02:59,990 --> 03:03:02,430
affirming the repeal of Ordinance 2021-02,

4122
03:03:02,430 --> 03:03:04,500
affirming the repeal of Article IX,

4123
03:03:04,500 --> 03:03:05,430
"Retirement System for Elected Officials"

4124
03:03:05,430 --> 03:03:07,390
of Chapter 2 of the City of Doral Code of Ordinances,

4125
03:03:07,390 --> 03:03:09,390
providing for severability, repealing all ordinances

4126
03:03:09,390 --> 03:03:10,850
or parts of ordinances in conflict,

4127
03:03:10,850 --> 03:03:12,350
and providing for an effective date.

4128
03:03:12,350 --> 03:03:12,850
All right.

4129
03:03:12,850 --> 03:03:16,450
I'm going to go ahead and open up Public Comments for Item 20H

4130
03:03:16,450 --> 03:03:19,213
or also known as 26-6724.

4131
03:03:19,213 --> 03:03:21,630
Anyone who would like to speak on this item, and this item

4132
03:03:21,630 --> 03:03:24,630
alone, please approach the podium.

4133
03:03:27,990 --> 03:03:31,350
Showing no interest, we will close Public Comments.

4134
03:03:31,350 --> 03:03:33,370
And we will hear from staff.

4135
03:03:33,370 --> 03:03:37,990
Or I think it's legal that will address this item.

4136
03:03:37,990 --> 03:03:39,830
Yes, Mayor.

4137
03:03:39,830 --> 03:03:44,430
Madam Mayor, Council, so back in 2023, the Council

4138
03:03:44,430 --> 03:03:47,110
repealed a pension program that had

4139
03:03:47,110 --> 03:03:51,310
been authorized through an ordinance established in 2021.

4140
03:03:52,700 --> 03:03:54,870
That repeal was subsequently a subject

4141
03:03:54,870 --> 03:03:56,870
of litigation, which is currently

4142
03:03:56,870 --> 03:04:00,510
before the third DCA on a rehearing.

4143
03:04:00,510 --> 03:04:03,700
The purpose for this is just to make sure

4144
03:04:03,700 --> 03:04:07,300
that there's no doubt that in 2023,

4145
03:04:08,160 --> 03:04:12,160
when that 2021 ordinance-- that pension program was repealed,

4146
03:04:12,160 --> 03:04:14,560
it was repealed properly.

4147
03:04:14,940 --> 03:04:17,260
And so it's just reaffirming that.

4148
03:04:17,260 --> 03:04:20,300
There was a question of whether its application was

4149
03:04:20,300 --> 03:04:21,840
retroactive or not.

4150
03:04:21,840 --> 03:04:24,240
But regardless of its retroactive applicability,

4151
03:04:24,240 --> 03:04:26,920
what this is stating-- that on 2023, as of that date,

4152
03:04:26,920 --> 03:04:30,200
the pension program no longer exists in the City of Doral

4153
03:04:30,200 --> 03:04:33,580
as it relates to its elected officials.

4154
03:04:33,580 --> 03:04:34,960
All right.

4155
03:04:34,960 --> 03:04:36,708
Is there any comments or questions?

4156
03:04:36,708 --> 03:04:38,000
I have a quick question, Mayor.

4157
03:04:38,000 --> 03:04:39,508
Yes.

4158
03:04:39,508 --> 03:04:40,800
I'm sorry, Councilwoman Porras?

4159
03:04:40,800 --> 03:04:44,580
Yeah, I just want to confirm that there will not

4160
03:04:44,580 --> 03:04:47,600
be anyone that's going to receive the pension moving

4161
03:04:47,600 --> 03:04:51,860
forward even if they acquire the age required

4162
03:04:51,860 --> 03:04:54,340
under the original pension because they were just not

4163
03:04:54,340 --> 03:04:55,000
vested.

4164
03:04:55,000 --> 03:04:58,280
I just wanted to confirm that this-- that's it.

4165
03:04:58,280 --> 03:04:58,978
Yeah.

4166
03:04:58,978 --> 03:05:01,200
Through the Mayor, Councilwoman, that is correct.

4167
03:05:01,200 --> 03:05:03,860
The pension program as of 2023 was no longer in existence,

4168
03:05:03,860 --> 03:05:05,780
so there's no one that can benefit from it.

4169
03:05:05,780 --> 03:05:06,320
OK.

4170
03:05:06,320 --> 03:05:06,900
Thank you.

4171
03:05:06,900 --> 03:05:07,600
OK.

4172
03:05:07,600 --> 03:05:08,760
Perfect.

4173
03:05:08,760 --> 03:05:10,340
All right, I need a motion.

4174
03:05:10,340 --> 03:05:10,840
Motion.

4175
03:05:10,840 --> 03:05:12,200
Motion to approve by--

4176
03:05:12,200 --> 03:05:12,520
Second.

4177
03:05:12,520 --> 03:05:14,803
--Councilwoman Reinoso, second by Councilman Pineyro.

4178
03:05:14,803 --> 03:05:16,220
Madam Clerk, please call the roll.

Motion to approve Ordinance Number 2026-21 on first reading

4180
03:05:18,918 --> 03:05:21,460
made by Councilwoman Reinoso, seconded by Councilman Pineyro.

4181
03:05:21,460 --> 03:05:22,300
Councilwoman Reinoso?

4182
03:05:22,300 --> 03:05:22,580
Yes.

4183
03:05:22,580 --> 03:05:23,400
Councilman Pineyro?

4184
03:05:23,400 --> 03:05:23,900
Yes.

Councilwoman Porras?

4186
03:05:24,760 --> 03:05:24,960
Yes.

4187
03:05:24,960 --> 03:05:25,840
Vice Mayor Cabral?

4188
03:05:25,840 --> 03:05:26,340
No.

4189
03:05:26,340 --> 03:05:26,960
Mayor Fraga?

4190
03:05:26,960 --> 03:05:27,460
Yes.

4191
03:05:27,460 --> 03:05:29,400
Motion passes.

4192
03:05:29,400 --> 03:05:30,760
All right.

4193
03:05:30,760 --> 03:05:32,160
Move on to the next item.

4194
03:05:32,160 --> 03:05:35,560
Oh, so for now, these items--

4195
03:05:35,560 --> 03:05:36,820
so everyone follows along.

4196
03:05:36,820 --> 03:05:42,240
20I to 20N will be under one presentation as they are all

4197
03:05:42,240 --> 03:05:44,240
related.

4198
03:05:45,840 --> 03:05:49,440
We will incorporate all the comments that will be made under

4199
03:05:49,440 --> 03:05:52,880
20I from the-- and into the-- from the first reading

03:05:52,880 --> 03:05:56,360
to the second reading into the record.

4201
03:05:56,360 --> 03:05:58,250
The first reading was on June 10.

4202
03:05:58,250 --> 03:06:02,647
So we'll have a brief presentation from you

4203
03:06:02,647 --> 03:06:04,230
all if there's any or just let us know

4204
03:06:04,230 --> 03:06:05,670
if there's been any changes.

4205
03:06:05,670 --> 03:06:07,670
And then we will take up the item

4206
03:06:07,670 --> 03:06:09,170
and open up Public Comments.

4207
03:06:09,170 --> 03:06:10,750
Let me open up Public Hearing first.

4208
03:06:10,750 --> 03:06:13,950
Let me open up Public Hearing for Item 20I,

Anyone that would like to speak on this item, please

approach the podium.

4212
03:06:20,348 --> 03:06:21,890
Mayor, can I read it into the record?

4213
03:06:21,890 --> 03:06:23,230
Yes, sorry.

4234
03:07:08,630 --> 03:07:09,130

4236
03:07:13,500 --> 03:07:16,500

4237
03:07:16,500 --> 03:07:18,530
I did have some communications with the applicant, nothing

4238
03:07:18,530 --> 03:07:21,490
that will affect my decision.

4239
03:07:21,490 --> 03:07:22,930
Is there any other one?

4240
03:07:22,930 --> 03:07:23,570
OK.

4241
03:07:23,570 --> 03:07:24,970
Mr. Magrisso, do you want to put anything

4242
03:07:24,970 --> 03:07:29,810
on the record, any changes from first to second?

4243
03:07:29,810 --> 03:07:32,450
The only change that we made was to the Land Development

4244
03:07:32,450 --> 03:07:34,300
Code for all the items.

4245
03:07:34,300 --> 03:07:36,210
I'll just put it on the record now.

4246
03:07:36,210 --> 03:07:39,450
It is that we defined what open space is.

4247
03:07:39,450 --> 03:07:43,250
We said that there is a minimum of 20% open space.

4248
03:07:43,250 --> 03:07:46,850
And then of that 20% open space, 15% of that

4249
03:07:46,850 --> 03:07:48,585
has to be dedicated to landscape.

4250
03:07:48,585 --> 03:07:51,210
That's the only change that we made within the Land Development

4251
03:07:51,210 --> 03:07:54,120
Code creation between first and second reading.

4252
03:07:54,120 --> 03:07:55,970
Other than that, all the items remain the same.

4253
03:07:55,970 --> 03:07:56,470
OK.

4254
03:07:56,470 --> 03:07:58,630
Is there any comments or questions

4255
03:07:58,630 --> 03:08:01,870

And I do have a amendment to the ordinance.

4497

4583
03:18:52,980 --> 03:18:56,980
And this is, as the Mayor said, for sites 1 and 2.

4584
03:18:56,980 --> 03:19:00,380
The Future Land Use category and the Zoning designations

4585
03:19:00,380 --> 03:19:04,660
have just been changed to Mall Mixed Use and Mall Mixed Use.

4586
03:19:04,660 --> 03:19:07,417
To the south, east, and west, you

4587
03:19:07,417 --> 03:19:09,500
have Miami International Mall, where it's Business

4588
03:19:09,500 --> 03:19:10,840
and Commercial Corridor.

4589
03:19:10,840 --> 03:19:12,520
And to the north you, have warehouses,

4590
03:19:12,520 --> 03:19:15,420
which is the Industrial District and Corridor Commercial.

4591
03:19:15,420 --> 03:19:17,640
This is the existing views as you see it.

4592
03:19:17,640 --> 03:19:21,420
The top right is where the site 1 and 2.

4593
03:19:21,420 --> 03:19:24,580
You can see the division of the two sites.

4594
03:19:24,580 --> 03:19:29,740
This is a more conceptual site plan between sites 1 and 2.

4595
03:19:29,740 --> 03:19:34,360
As you can see, the unit count for site 1 is 292 total units

4596
03:19:34,360 --> 03:19:39,160
and for site 2 is a total of 230 units.

4597
03:19:40,560 --> 03:19:42,300
This is the landscape plan.

4598
03:19:42,300 --> 03:19:45,560
You can see that the site is filled with palm--

4599
03:19:45,560 --> 03:19:47,400
trees and palm trees and multiple

4600
03:19:47,400 --> 03:19:49,440
shrubs across both sites.

4601
03:19:50,280 --> 03:19:54,200
Here are the elevations from all sides.

4602
03:19:54,200 --> 03:19:57,000
The site plan standards-- it complies with all

4603
03:19:57,000 --> 03:19:59,440
of our site plan standards.

4604
03:19:59,440 --> 03:20:01,440
And based on this, staff recommends

4605
03:20:01,440 --> 03:20:06,300
the approval of site plan 1 and site plan 2 of Greystar.

4606
03:20:06,300 --> 03:20:06,800
OK.

4607
03:20:06,800 --> 03:20:08,135
Thank you very much.

4608
03:20:08,135 --> 03:20:09,260
If you have any questions--

4609
03:20:09,260 --> 03:20:13,600
Mr Magrisso, would the applicant like to make a presentation?

4610
03:20:13,600 --> 03:20:15,340
Are you satisfied with staff's?

4611
03:20:15,340 --> 03:20:16,380
Did they do a good job?

4612
03:20:16,380 --> 03:20:19,620
This is James Williams with Gunster Law Office, 600 Brickell

4613
03:20:19,620 --> 03:20:20,200
Avenue, Miami, Florida.

4614
03:20:20,200 --> 03:20:22,340
I had a brief 30-minute presentation.

4615
03:20:22,340 --> 03:20:23,380
I'm just kidding.

4616
03:20:23,380 --> 03:20:24,400
I'm just kidding.

4617
03:20:24,400 --> 03:20:27,280
As always, your staff does an incredible job.

4618
03:20:27,280 --> 03:20:27,780
No.

4619
03:20:27,780 --> 03:20:28,540
I'm just kidding.

4620
03:20:28,540 --> 03:20:31,533
I'm happy to forego the presentation.

4621
03:20:31,533 --> 03:20:33,950
The only change, I think, is to the resolution on the code

4622
03:20:33,950 --> 03:20:35,650
enforcement for housekeeping.

4623
03:20:35,650 --> 03:20:38,472
But, as always, Mr. Magrisso did a fantastic job,

4624
03:20:38,472 --> 03:20:39,430
so I'm happy to forego.

4625
03:20:39,430 --> 03:20:40,950
And if you have any questions, myself and my team

4626
03:20:40,950 --> 03:20:42,330
are here to answer any questions.

4627
03:20:42,330 --> 03:20:45,870
Is there any questions for the applicant or staff

4628
03:20:45,870 --> 03:20:47,950
regarding the site plan?

4629
03:20:47,950 --> 03:20:48,970
Motion to approve.

4630
03:20:48,970 --> 03:20:51,410
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Cabral.

4631
03:20:51,410 --> 03:20:52,470
Wait one second.

4632
03:20:52,470 --> 03:20:54,370
There's an amendment.

4633
03:20:54,370 --> 03:20:55,710
Oh, it's to this one, yes.

4634
03:20:55,710 --> 03:20:56,690
So sorry.

4635
03:20:56,690 --> 03:20:59,503
So the amendment-- Section 5 should read as follows--

4636
03:20:59,503 --> 03:21:00,170
"Effective date.

4637
03:21:00,170 --> 03:21:02,670

2026-14, and Ordinance 2026-15 become effective.

4640
03:21:09,783 --> 03:21:11,950
In the event that the development agreement approved

4641
03:21:11,950 --> 03:21:14,508
by Ordinance 2026-15 is deemed null and void,

4642
03:21:14,508 --> 03:21:16,500
in accordance with Section 3 therein,

4643
03:21:16,500 --> 03:21:18,508
the site plan approved herein shall be likewise deemed null

4645
03:21:20,950 --> 03:21:21,450
All right.

4646
03:21:21,450 --> 03:21:22,100
Thank you so much.

4647
03:21:22,100 --> 03:21:22,930
Should be as amended.

4648
03:21:22,930 --> 03:21:24,358
Motion to approve as amended.

4649
03:21:24,358 --> 03:21:25,150
Again, [INAUDIBLE].

03:21:25,150 --> 03:21:26,930
Motion, yeah, as amended.

4651
03:21:26,930 --> 03:21:27,430
All right.

4652
03:21:27,430 --> 03:21:28,210
Do I have a second?

4653
03:21:28,210 --> 03:21:28,530
Second.

4654
03:21:28,530 --> 03:21:29,810
Second by Councilman Pineyro.

4655
03:21:29,810 --> 03:21:32,690

03:21:32,690 --> 03:21:34,690

4657
