Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Vice-Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Mayor Michael Pizzi
Subject:Elimination of Eyesore and Protection of Property Values
Date:10/4/2016

Recommendation:
I am concerned about protecting the beauty of our town. There are some undeveloped parcels in the commercial sector that are located in highly visible rights of way that are harming our property values. If a structure,such as a gas station, remains un-developed for years,leaving it fenced in without landscaping creates an eye soar. I want to pass legislation that requires owners of undeveloped parcels to provide landscaping to avoid these parcels becoming an eyes soar that lowers property values for the entire town.

Fiscal Impact: Medium
