R-1113-06 RESOLUTION NO. 1113-06
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 IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
IN MIAMI SHORES, BISCAYNE PARK OR EL PORTAL 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
neighborhoods located in the tri-community area; 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 areas of Miami Shores, Biscayne
Park and EI Portal;
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 in any Miami Shores, Biscayne Park or EI Portal
residential areas 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, Biscayne Park or EI Portal.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 18th day of April , 2006.
