R-1112-06 RESOLUTION NO. 1112-06
A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL, EXPRESSING
OPPOSITION TO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY'S PLAN FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF TRANSMISSION POLES AND LINES THROUGH MIAMI
SHORES VILLAGE IN ORDER TO CONNECT THE ARCH CREEK SUBSTATION
TO A SUBSTATION LOCATED IN EL PORTAL.
WHEREAS, Florida Power & Light (FPL) is looking to install a major new
transmission line to run from their substation in the Arch Creek area of North Miami to
the substation located in EI Portal; and
WHEREAS, the physical size of the poles and transmission lines would dwarf all
existing structures and would not be in harmony with the single family residential
community that comprises the majority of the Village; and
WHEREAS, The Village believes that there are other, more viable routes that
could more easily accommodate transmission poles of the required size and would be
better suited for the installation than the residential streets of Miami Shores;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Miami Shores Village Council, that
Section 1. Miami Shores Village strongly opposes the installation of major
power poles and transmission lines through its residential community as is currently
being proposed.
Section 2. Miami Shores Village encourages the exploration of more suitable
transmission routes that would not adversely impact the residential properties located
within Miami Shores.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 21'� day of March , 2006.
