A Lobbyist Bonanza Development. By Geniusofdespair
Why does Fortune Land Investments, LLC ( Miguel Poyastro) need all these lobbyists? Anyone live near here? The biggest piece is zoned Townhomes/Residential. The land on the right and the sliver at top on the left are zoned Vacant Land 0081. Augustin Herran signed the deed of sale for Quantum Ventures, LLC. So again, why all the lobbyists, and why the two lobbyist classifications:
Subject "NONE":
MICHAEL FREIRE
JOSEPH G. GOLDSTEIN
ALAN KRISCHER
INES MARRERO-PRIEGUES
JUAN MAYOL
RICHARD PEREZ
TRACY R SLAVENS
Subject SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION:
(a substantial compliance determination is required when a development plan is not sufficiently identical to the plan approved pursuant to a Zoning Hearing or Administrative Site Plan Review)
HUGO ARZA
MICHAEL FREIRE
JOSEPH G. GOLDSTEIN
ALAN KRISCHER
INES MARRERO-PRIEGUES
JUAN MAYOL
RICHARD PEREZ
TRACY R SLAVENS
ALBERTO J TORRES
The land was purchased in 2010 for $12,000,000. There was a sale 11/2005 to Quantum for $47,853,600 but it is marked "Other Disqualified". That is a big difference in price.
If they aren't doing anything out of the ordinary, why do they need so many damn lobbyists? Even outside the UDB (This parcel borders the UDB at 157th Ave. but it is inside) there are usually only one or two lobbyists. This over-kill makes me very suspicious.

A big development there would make sense if the Don Shula (874) was extended Southwest down the existing CSX train right of way. You'd need a bunch of lobbyists to do that.
When a land owner hires a big firm like Holland & Knight, all the attorneys who may work on the project register the client in case any one of them needs to perform a task related to the client.
At least 5 of those folks work for Holland & Knight in the land use section. They're just being over-cautious.
I count 9, that is over-kill.

Could it be related to what is described in this article? http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2012/03/12/miami-dade-wants-builder-for-area-in.html
Nothing to do with the zoo.
Old news anyhow... Wasn't that land rezoned years ago?
Did you even read the post? No. Because I mention 2 zonings for the area. And it is not old news as all the lobbyists are working on it NOW. You don't hire lobbyists if you don't need anything.
