Despite objections by the Miami-Dade Planning and Zoning Department a proposal to build 500 condo‘s on the site of a 69 year old mobile-home park in the middle of the 27th avenue industrial area was approved by the county commission’s master plan committee this week.

The 100 million development plan by Premier Properties Investment of Coral Gables, partially owned by former Miami Heat basketball star Tim Hardaway calls for the 110 mobile homes at the park to be replaced by one, two and three bedroom condo‘s expected to list for $189,000 to $300,000 when construction is complete.

After a presentation by Mr. Hardaway and Premier Properties president George Rodney Timinsky, the committee unanimously OK’d the project even though planning and zoning director Dianne O'Quinn-Williams said the 5.9 acre site, bounded by industry and in the Miami International Airports flight path. would be best used for commercial development.

Ms. O’ Qunnn-Williams urged the committee to reject the plan.

Commissioners said that existing trailer park was an eyesore. And they said the need for moderately priced housing trumps the county’s need for industrial development.

The project faces other zoning hurdles.

Mr. Timinsky said Premier Properties plans to build other moderately priced communities for working families through-out Miami-Dade.
