I  would like to thanks all of the residents that attended the Planning and Zoning Appeals Board Meeting tonight. Oh Boy! We all had all our buttons and some had the old buttons on as well.

Residents were still arriving as we had already accomplished what the Steering Committee planned.

We GATERS really know how to represent ourselves and will not give -up.

The Planning Director requested to have the item heard in April. The HOA in behalf of all residents requested February.

The item will be heard February 19, 2014 and it-will be heard at 7 pm to have residents be able to arrange
Child care and work.

The Planning Board will be requesting a workshop for residents. They will handle the notices.

Thank You again and we will see all of you on February 19th at 7pm at Miami City Hall.

After 13 months of construction, a new recreation building opened at Coral Gate Park on July 28.

Additions include an air-conditioned building with rooms to host several programs at once. Construction of a new playground will begin Sept. 15. This is also the location of the new Coral Gate NET office. The total cost of the project was about $1.5 million. The park is at 1415 SW 32nd Ave in Miami’s Coral Gate neighborhood.

Before the construction project, the small recreation building had no air conditioning and could accommodate only a small after school program and summer camp. The park now also has its own parking area, which it did not have before the renovations.

With the renovation of the building, kid ages 6 to 13 from the surrounding neighborhood can enjoy an after school program that includes homework help and games, in an air conditioned building. The after-school program will start in the fall, and will run from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m.

On top of the new building and playground, Coral Gate Park has incorporated a computer lab. This lab contains 17 computer terminals and will be available for use in the mornings and evenings, when the after-school program is not running.

Long term goals include creating a computer class for seniors encouraging them to get online, as well as social game nights.

Dear Resident:

As part of our neighborhood enhancement program, the City of Miami will be making much needed improvements during the next few weeks. Personnel and equipment from F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates will be working in your neighborhood during this time.

The work consists of milling and resurfacing, ADA ramps, curbs, signing, pavement markings, landscaping, and drainage improvements at the intersection of SW 20 Street and Coral Gate Drive (SW 36 Avenue). Additionally, the work will also consist of the construction of a traffic calming device at this intersection. The project is anticipated to start on January 9, 2012 and will take approximately 90 days to complete, weather permitting.

The City of Miami is funding this work; therefore, there will be no special assessment to adjacent property or business owners to pay for this project. You may experience inconveniences during construction, but we ask for your cooperation so as to complete the project as quickly as possible, with minimum inconvenience to the public.
