Already the plaintiff in two lawsuits trying to halt redevelopment plans for the former Miami Marine Stadium, the village of Key Biscayne is opening up a new front in its battle with the city of Miami over the future of that site. Thursday evening, Key Biscayne was handed an expected administrative defeat, when Miami City Commissioners unanimously voted to deny the village’s objections plans for the stadium’s former parking lots. That turn sets the stage for a possible third lawsuit, Key Biscayne’s outside litigator John Shubin told the Daily Business Review, noting that “pending direction from our client, we’ll explore all legal options.”
Besides the ammunition for yet another legal action against Miami, Key Biscayne got a somewhat unexpected strategic gift in its intra-municipal battle Thursday. Even as he voted against Key Biscayne’s objections, Miami city commissioner Marc Sarnoff said he was growing increasingly disappointed in the way plans for the Miami International Boat Show, expected to be the anchor tenant of a restored marine stadium, were being handled.
