REPORT: Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Commissioner Jordan questioned whether the 22 dock concentration in the same area had a negative impact on the manatees versus the eight per property concentration. Mr. Carlos Espinosa, Director, Department of Environmental Resources Management, responded that the facilities were adjacent to one another; that the number of slips would remain; and that there would not be any impact. He said that the facility on one side would reduce the number of boat slips by moving some slips to another facility. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.

Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Acceptance of Restrictive Covenants Running with the Land in Favor of Miami-Dade County by The Atrium at Aventura Condominium Association, Inc. for the Property at 3131 NE 188 Street, by Uptown Marina Lofts Condominium Association, Inc. for the Property at 3029 NE 188 Street, and by GM Atrium, LLC for the Property at Folio #28-2203-077-0040

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the attached resolution authorizing the acceptance of three (3) restrictive covenants running with the land in favor of Miami-Dade County. The covenants are submitted pursuant to Section 24-48.2(I)(B)(2)(b) of the Code of Miami-Dade County as part of a Class I permit application for the construction of a new multi-slip docking facility. The restrictive covenants are being proffered in order to transfer the use of proposed powerboat slips from one property to another and to adjust the total number of allowable powerboat slips at each property accordingly.

Scope
The subject properties are located within the City of Aventura, in Commission District 4.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) is processing a Class I permit application to build a new 22-slip multi-family docking facility at 3131 NE 188 Street. The proposed project involves the transfer of powerboat slips among three (3) separate properties: the recipient site, The Atrium at Aventura Condominium (The Atrium Condo), the donor site, Uptown Marina Lofts Condominium Association, Inc. (Uptown Marina Lofts) and the submerged land parcel owned by GM Atrium, LLC (GM Atrium) which is adjacent to the recipient site. Site maps are provided in Attachments A and B. Based on the work proposed in the Class I permit application, the permit can be issued administratively but will not be issued prior to Board approval of this resolution.

The recipient site, The Atrium Condo property, is located at 3131 NE 188 Street along a canal that is identified by the Miami-Dade County Manatee Protection Plan (MDCMPP) as essential habitat for the West Indian Manatee (Trichecus manatus). The property is considered an �Existing Facility� as defined in the MDCMPP, based on its previous marine-related use. DERM has advised The Atrium Condo that in accordance with the recommendations of the MDCMPP guidelines, the maximum number of powerboat slips that can be authorized at the property is eight (8), provided that a covenant is proffered reflecting this restriction. The Atrium Condo is planning on using the eight (8) powerboat slips but would like to have a total of 22 powerboat slips. Therefore, The Atrium Condo is proposing to receive a transfer of 14 additional powerboat slips from the adjacent donor property owned by Uptown Marina Lofts.

The donor site, Uptown Marina Lofts, is located at 3029 NE 188 Street and was the former site of a commercial marina with a total of 204 powerboat slips. The Uptown Marina Lofts property has undergone redevelopment and is no longer using all of the existing powerboat slips that were historically in use at the site. A 29-powerboat slip docking facility has been previously permitted at Uptown Marina Lofts. In addition, the donor site has previously transferred 17 of their powerboat slips to another property in the area. As part of that transfer request, the Board approved Resolution No. R-1369-06 on December 5, 2006, accepting a restrictive covenant running with the land in favor of Miami-Dade County from Uptown Marina Lofts that limits their property to a total of 187 powerboat slips. The transfer of 14 slips to The Atrium Condo will limit the number of powerboat slips at Uptown Marina Lofts to a total of 173.

The submerged land parcel owned by GM Atrium is located adjacent to the property owned by The Atrium Condo and extends to the north bank of the canal. The total number of powerboat slips to be moored adjacent to the recipient site shall be limited to 22 powerboat slips.

The MDCMPP does not specifically address the issue of transfer of slips from one site to another. However, DERM recognizes that as a result of development trends, many properties where marine-related businesses operated in the past have been converted to residential developments. As a result, many of the boat slips that were associated with those businesses are no longer being used. In an effort to address the demand for powerboat slips, DERM is able to recommend approval of the transfer described above provided that the County accepts Restrictive Covenants proffered by the respective owners to notify present and future property owners that the number of approved powerboat slips has been modified because, in the opinion of DERM, the proposed transfer will not result in an increase in potential adverse impacts to manatees.

In the opinion of DERM, the proposed transfer of 14 powerboat slips from Uptown Marina Lofts to The Atrium Condo would not result in an increase in potential adverse impacts to manatees. This opinion is based on the historical use of the existing slips, the intended future use of the slips proposed for transfer, and the close proximity of the two sites.

Additionally, The Atrium Condo, Uptown Marina Lofts, and GM Atrium have executed the attached Restrictive Covenants Running with the Land in Favor of Miami-Dade County (Attachments C, D, and E). The restrictive covenant executed by The Atrium Condo authorizes a maximum of 22 powerboats to be moored at their property. The restrictive covenant executed by Uptown Marina Lofts provides for a corresponding decrease in allowable powerboats from 187 to 173. The restrictive covenant executed by GM Atrium restricts the number of allowable powerboats on their submerged lands adjacent to The Atrium Condo property to 22. If approved by the Board, these covenants will be incorporated as part of Class I permit 2010-CLI-PER-00221.
