TITLE RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO UPDATE CONCEPTUAL STUDY ANALYZING DEVELOPMENT OF CUBAN EXILE HISTORY MUSEUM AT PARCEL B OF FEC PROPERTY AND TO EXPAND SUCH STUDY TO INCLUDE OTHER POTENTIAL SITES FOR SUCH PROJECT IN THE SURROUNDING AREA BODY WHEREAS, Parcel B of the FEC Property (the ''Parcel B''), approximately 2.76 acres in size, is immediately adjacent to the American Airlines Arena (the ''Arena''); therefore, any development of Parcel B may materially interfere with operation of the Arena; and WHEREAS, in 2007, the Board directed the County Manager to prepare a conceptual study analyzing development of the Bay of Pigs Museum and Library (''Project'') at Parcel B based upon a preliminary design of the Project prepared by Chisholm Architects; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Board�s directive, the conceptual study was to include at a minimum a section addressing the following: the feasibility of underground parking, the provision of public open space, development of a baywalk and options to mitigate any material impact to operation of the Arena arising from development of Parcel B; and WHEREAS, the conceptual study prepared by the County Manager was presented to the Board at its May 6, 2008 regularly scheduled meeting (the ''2008 Conceptual Study''); and WHEREAS, Parcel B still remains undeveloped; and WHEREAS, in the intervening years since the 2008 Conceptual Study, many of the Project�s original proponents have gradually evolved its scope and content, in a series of substantive, detailed and prolonged discussions with Miami-Dade County and other officials, to a much broader, more inclusive and sustainable Cuban Exile History Museum (the ''Revised Project''), rather than the prior narrower predecessor concept focused primarily on the Bay of Pigs; and WHEREAS, the City of Hialeah Gardens has since procured an initial $1,000,000.00 grant from the Florida Legislature, and contributed its own land, for the establishment of a similar Bay of Pigs Museum and Library in its jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, there is no other substantial Cuban exile history museum, other than one focused solely on Cuban art, in Miami-Dade County of a size and scope commensurate with the contributions of this ethnic/immigrant group both to the South Florida area as well as nationally and internationally; and WHEREAS, this Board wishes to direct the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to update the 2008 Conceptual Study analyzing development of the Revised Project at Parcel B and to expand such study to include development of the Revised Project at other sites in the surrounding area; and WHEREAS, this Board wishes to direct the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to consult with Basketball Properties, Ltd (''BPL''), the operator and manager of the Arena, to determine whether the development of a Cuban Exile History Museum at Parcel B may materially impact the operation of the Arena, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that: Section 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated in this resolution and are approved. Section 2. This Board directs the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to update the 2008 Conceptual Study analyzing development of the Revised Project at Parcel B and to expand such study to include development of the Revised Project at other sites in the surrounding area. In addition, this Board directs the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to consult with BPL prior to completion of the updated conceptual study to determine whether the development of a Cuban Exile History Museum at Parcel B may materially impact the operation of the Arena. The County Mayor shall present the conceptual study to this Board within ninety (90) days from the effective date of this resolution. |
