Item Coversheet
Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Councilmember Tony Lama
Subject:Accelerating Economic Development
Date:7/26/2016

Recommendation:
It is my understanding that unlike other municipalities Miami Lakes requires that a plat be recorded with the county prior to the pulling of any building permits. It is also my understanding that it would be a relatively simple modification to our land development code that would allow construction to begin after final plat approval prior to the recording. I would like to discuss with my colleagues removing this obstacle to economic development in our Town.

Fiscal Impact: Low
