Town of Surfside Gazette - August 2019

GAZETTE AUGUST 2019

TOWN OF SURFSIDE BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT AS THE TOWN CONTINUES TO PREPARE FOR THE BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT THAT IS SLATED FOR LATE SUMMER 2019, PLEASE STAY INFORMED ON THE PROJECT UPDATES BY VISITING THE TOWN WEBSITE BANNER TITLED BEACH RENOURISHMENT PROJECT.

Message from the Town Manager As a forward-thinking coastal community, the Town of Surfside is taking various measures in order to prepare now for the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. There are several ways you can reduce your carbon footprint, too. To learn more, we encourage you to read “Sea levels are rising” on page 6.

Also in the August Gazette is an article about the recently passed single-use plastic bags ban. With growing concerns about the environment, ocean and marine life, Town Commissioners unanimously approved to amend Section 34-11 of the Town Code of Ordinances which prohibits plastic straws, to also include single-use plastic bags. The new ban will take effect later this year and enforced the beginning of March 2020 to allow time for a public education campaign. Read more about the ban on page 2.

The much-anticipated Beach Renourishment Project is scheduled to start in late summer 2019. As a reminder, visit the Town website for the latest project developments. Additionally, the Town will share regular updates with residents who are signed up for Town Notifications, on Surfside’s Nextdoor public agency page, and the recently transformed Channel 663.

- Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

PROCLAMATION FOR PARKS AND RECREATION

The Parks and Recreation Department received a proclamation at the July Commission meeting observing National Park & Recreation Month in July. The proclamation highlights how the Department improves the quality of life for Surfsiders of all ages.

(L-R) Commissioner Michael Karukin, Vice Mayor Daniel Gielchinsky, Mayor Daniel Dietch, Director of Parks & Recreation Tim Milian, Superintendent Stacie Weiss, Virginia Agramonte, Commissioner Tina Paul, Town Attorney Lillian Arango, Town Manager Guillermo Olmedillo and Commissioner Barry Cohen.

SURFSIDE JOINS MOVEMENT TO PROHIBIT PLASTIC BAGS At the Surfside July Town Commission Meeting, the Commission voted to amending Section 34-11 of the Town Code which prohibits plastic straws, to also include single-use plastic bags. The Town Code now prohibits the distribution, sale or use of single-use plastic bags in any commercial establishment, Town facility or property or by any special event permittee.

Between final adoption and December 31, 2019, a public education campaign will inform residents and commercial establishments of the provisions of the ordinance. From January 1, 2020 through February 29, 2020 the Town will give written warnings for violations and will enforce all provisions of the prohibition beginning March 1, 2020. Committed to enhancing its environmental stewardship policies, the Town moved forward with the amended Code provisions as a response to the growing evidence of the harmful impacts of single-use plastic bags on the land and aquatic ecosystems.

SURFSIDE CONTRIBUTES $50,000 TO THE HOMELESS TRUST

On behalf of the Town of Surfside and Town Commission, Mayor Daniel Dietch presented a $50,000 check to the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust during a recent board meeting. This is the first time in Surfside’s nearly 85 year history that Town Commission unanimously approved a contribution to The Homeless Trust.

“It has taken several years to build the support with my colleagues and our community to get to this point and my desire is to continue to contribute to The Homeless Trust in a more meaningful way,” said Mayor Dietch.

State Sen. Oscar Braynon II and State Rep. Nick Duran matched Surfside’s donation with a $100,000 check to The Homeless Trust by the State of Florida. Funds will assist homeless persons with severe mental illness by diverting them from the criminal justice system into supportive housing.

CODE COMPLIANCE CORNER

DO YOU HAVE A VALID BUILDING PERMIT? In 1960, the Town adopted the Florida Building Code, with all the rules and subsequent changes, as the minimum building code for the Town. Section 105 of the Florida Building Code requires property owners to apply for and be issued a valid building permit before commencing any construction or remodeling work at their property.

The building permit is a license to proceed with the work and not the authority to violate, cancel, alter or set aside any provisions of the technical codes. A building permit does not prevent the Building Official from requiring a correction of errors in plans, construction or violations of the code.

Building permits become invalid unless the work is commenced within 180 days after issuance, or if the work is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the work is commenced. The Building Official is authorized to require that any work which has been commenced or completed be removed.

If work has commenced and the building permit is revoked, it becomes null and void or expires because of lack of progress or abandonment. A new building permit covering the proposed construction must be obtained before proceeding. A new permit may be issued providing the work in place meets all applicable regulations in effect at the time the initial permit became null and void. The new permit also must meet new regulations which may have become effective between the date of expiration and the issuance of the new permit.

The Town of Surfside will be mailing courtesy notification to property owners and/or permit holders if their building permit has or is about to expire. If work has commenced but no inspections have been requested, the contractor should call for an in-progress or final inspection prior to the expiration of the permit.

For information about whether you need to apply for a building permit for a construction or remodeling project, please contact the Town’s Building Department at (305) 861-4863.

SEA LEVELS ARE RISING – HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO On a calm, sunny beach day, it is hard to imagine the seas are rising at an accelerated, yet seemingly imperceptible rate, already impacting coastal communities around the globe including Surfside.

Surfside is proactively planning and preparing for sea level rise, which can result in more impactful storm surges, frequent high tides and flooding. The Mayor, Town Commission and Town Administration regularly engage with neighboring municipalities and environmental experts to gain valuable insight and research that can be adopted for Surfside.

Additionally, sea level rise continues to be at the forefront during discussions led by the Sustainability & Resiliency Committee and Planning & Zoning Board.

This is a matter that requires the attention, engagement and collaboration of the entire community. Here are several tips to help minimize our impact on the planet and build resiliency in Surfside: • Support the Commission’s environmental policies to urge environmental action by our regional, state and federal agencies and lawmakers.

• Reduce your footprint. Learn how to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases you produce each day by visiting www.carbonfootprint.com • Plant more landscape and save trees. Plants clean the air and soak up the rain.

• Reduce your energy use. Turn off your lights and appliances when not in use and replace them with more energy efficient alternatives. Adjust your thermostat to reduce air condition use.

• Leave the car at home. Surfside is a pedestrian-friendly community and all necessities are in walking distance.

• Protect dunes and shorelines. Dunes are a buffer against seasonal and major storms, keeping waves from reaching coastal structures. In the coming months, Surfside will undergo a beach renourishment project to address critical erosion of the public beach in Surfside.

To learn more about what Surfside is doing to mitigate climate change, adapt to the vulnerabilities of sea level rise and build community resiliency, refer to the Town website at www.townofsurfsidefl.gov. Direct your questions to your Elected Officials and Town Administration.
