Anyone who is willing to become a public servant, dealing with all the ethnic problems this city faces, is allright with me. Did everyone see the road rage incident, taped by a WSVN news crew, that took place in Coconut Grove? It made the national news. If Mr. Sarnoff or Ms. Haskins can contribute to making this banana republic a little more civilized, they will have earned their keep.
I so agree and what a Banana Republic it is. Marc is a great guy with a great vision for the Grove. Anybody who loves the Grove and remembers what it used to be like here I would think would support him.
Im sure Marc is a great guy, but as I previously stated, his campaign reminds me of when I was in grade school and it was time to vote for "Class President". The kid that always ended up winning was the one whose campaign consisted of promises like a jukebox in the cafeteria or a soda machine in the library. It was enough to make all the kids think, "Wow! Awesome! Im voting for him!" Sure enough, throughout the rest of the year the only music in the cafeteria would be the lunch ladies banging metal spoons on metal bins as they served up sloppy joes...
As for the Grove being a "Banana Republic", I think that is a tad far fetched. The Grove is one of the few sections of Miami that I feel has kept a decent hold on American life even with its seemingly segregated neighborhoods. I think you need to remember that this is the City of Miami and in cities, things like hit-n-runs, robberies, and other crime tend to happen.
A) Why not vote for the person who is promising what they people want. Makes sense to me!
B) Banana Republic refers to our City Government not our neighborhood. Banana Republic refers to the way our city is run and it certainly is like a Banana Republic.
Don't get me wrong (top blog). The Grove is not a banana republic, only the local governmnet. On the contrary, Coconut Grove is a diamond in the rough....but it needs a lot of work. It can be much better with the right leadership, resources, infrastructure and management. I am torn between Sarnoff and Haskins, but leaning toward Sarnoff because I hear he is passionate about the Grove.
I support Marc Sarnoff and will be voting for him.....
And yes this city is a banana rebublic
Sarnoff's pet issue is Home Depot:
It seems that under months of his misguided leadership... the Grove appears to be getting a crappy 8th Street version of the store. I would say that is very Bad for the Grove. Why did he appeal the Class II permit with the Milam's grocery... if he knew that Home Depot's only option would be to give us the 8th Street version? And if he didn't know... he was obviously blind to the real facts of the issue.
All of my friends and neighbors are in favor of the Home Depot, but are disappointed that the Max Strang design has been shelved. Milam's and Walgreens must be kept and the Strang design ensured that! I do not like shopping at the Publix on 27th Ave. It is like a third world country in there. Nobody speaks english and everyone is right off the raft. Fresh Market is great, but not for staples. Marc and his group set the stage for this by refusing to compromise.
Why won't Marc honestly disclose his secret relationship with Joe Arriola, the idiot who sprinkled coconut on top of the BANANA REPUBLIC at City Hall? Arriola and his family are raising money and running phone banks for Marc! Arriola's long-time political crony Steve Marin lists (or did until a couple of weeks ago) Marc's campaign as a client on his web site. What is HE doing for Marc? What's behind all this? Does Joe have a deal with Marc that he'll get his old job back?
Issues come and go.
And any idiot can see which way the winds are blowing and get in front of the parade.
But character and honesty are permanent!!!!!
I would urge everyone to vote for Marc. He is an honest man and stood up when everyone else was simply complaining about a possible Home Depot but not really doing anything. We all loved the Strang design, but to support it because it looked nice missed the point of the fight. We do not want a Home Depot PERIOD. We all saw the beutiful design Home Depot promised North Miami, but what did they get, a big orange store. Vendors and store management disobeying loading and selling permits will still go on even in front of a nice design. But whilst a large part of Marc's campaign is about Home Depot, that is not everything. I think Marc will be a solid representative for District 2. He will not ignore 13,000 petitions, has proven his loyalty to his city by contributing and helping establish the dog parks and worked with the Moms of Blanche Park to improve that space. At the end of the day, politics is local, and I have seen what Marc has done to improve my local situation. And I am only posting as anon since that is quicker.
Thanks
Bruce
So who are you Bruce?
It takes about 2 seconds to write your last name. Was that Bruce Sarnoff?
There is no reason to go to the Publix on 27th Avenue. The new one is excellent (is it 37th Ave?). They have everything and I especially like the deli where the assortment of prepared foods are, and they have a wonderful seafood department. Milams was crap.
I agree that it's the operation of the Home Depot we don't want and no they can't come in with the Big Orange Box because that shopping center is not zoned for an industrial warehouse supply store which is what Home Depot is. You could never label Home Depot as a hardware store and there is a limit on the space they can use for their store too is my understanding. So rather than worry too much about the Max Strang design, the better fight is to keep Home Depot out. Even with the Max Strang design it would only be a matter of time until that section of the Grove became SW 8th Street or worse due to the proximity to US 1.
Q. Is Mark Sarnoff good or bad for the Grove?
A. He's better than any other candidate.
Hey Tony
Do you know enough about Rollason and Haskins to be sure about that? What's the worst you have ever heard about either of them? That they are dishonest? NO! That they are insincere? NO! That they would cynically manipulate their neighbors to advance their selfish political ambitions? NO!
Think again!!
The worst thing I ever heard was that Haskins was a liar. And anyway don't you think that absentee ballot thing is suspicious at best? Nothing like a cheater, she'll fit right in on the Commission.
actually, there are some successfully integrated home depots in neighborhoods that are definitely what I would consider "hardware store." The Lincoln Park branch in Chicago is a good example of this. It is three or four stories and tucked in with other apartment buildings.
The Grove pays a disproportionately large amount of the tax base for the City of Miami. Yet the City treats the Grove like any other area including the insistance on unfettered development. Many Grovites believe that neighborhoods should be treated as such and allowed to determine what is best for their areas. When the City thinks it best to ignore its own zoning laws/constraints with the intention of increasing development purely to increase the city-wide tax base, even if the development conflicts with the will of the people, then someone needs to stand up for the neighborhood. Marc is not part of the "City Machine". All of the other candidates running in some way or another are. We need a fresh voice with a community perspective on the City Commission. Marc is that voice.
Has anyone seen or visited the Home Depot in Manhattan?
It’s known as the “Woody Allen Home Depot” because it’s designed for the sort of urban intellectual who doesn’t know when end of the hammer to use.
It’s beautiful and elegant. Doorman out front. Concierge Desk. No industrial materials. It’s a perfect model for the Grove.
See info at:
http://www.nationaltrust.org/Magazine/archives/arc_news/091304.htm
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FNP/is_18_43/ai_n6214907
And it’s the kind of store we COULD HAVE negotiated towards IF the self-appointed “community leaders” in GROVE FIRST hadn’t panicked and crapped in their mess kit by TOTALLY opposing Home Depot under any circumstances. Once you refuse to negotiate you become irrelevant!
Only that's not the kind of store we would get. If you talk to the neighbors of the SW 8th Street store about their efforts to "negotiate" with Home Depot management that have gone nowhere maybe you would get it. This isn't New York and we are not part of a City whose Government will enforce commitments that Home Depot might make and then reneg on. The proof is SW 8th Street.
It IS the kind of store we could have gotten if "The Community" had smart, effective volunteer leadership. Instead we have people with personal political goals and ambitions.
Marc Sarnoff. I know Marc pretty well, although not for very long. I have looked up his record and his experience. I have known the other two candidates for many years. I think District 2 and the City of Miami would be very lucky to elect Marc to the Commission. It is time we elected a Commissioner who is truly independent. We need an experienced attorney on the dais to make sure the City does not make futher dumb mistakes like approve the fire fee settlement or give $169 Mil to the developers of Midtown Miami so they can charge us to park, in the parking spaces we financed. Marc will be a breath of fresh air. Please bear in mind the other two leading candidates have been with the City over 50 years between them. Are you happy? Want a change? Marc will do great. He needs our help.
I understand why people like me...shooting darts from dark corners...prefer to be "anonymous" here. After all, we say things that annoy, anger or irritate. Someone might want to seek revenge!
But why would the previous ass-kissing poster cloak themselves in anonymity? Unless it is – once again – Marc Sarnoff giving himself a public (and not at all convincing) pat on the back?
Bruce here again.(I missed that "Other" option earlier)
Quick question. If so many people support Home Depot or believe we should have negotiated, why did they not speak up? The only vocal group who showed up at meetings etc were oppossed to Home Depot. Were are all these Home Depot supporters?
From where I sit, it seems that the bulk of the "support" for Home Depot has emerged only recently....only after it became obvious that the yahoos many had thought would handle the matter had totally botched everything.
I say "support" in quotes because it is NOT "Jump Up and Down YES We Love Home Depot" support. It is a mature realization that we can not preserve quaint Mayberry RFD-style villages in the middle of a growing city. If you want that, move to Ocala!
Home Depot is a "quality of life" issue. District 2 needs more attention to its quality of life. Of course, Coconut Grove is quaint and beautiful. Who would advocate against that? Seriously, how hard is it to drive 2 miles to the Home Depot on SW 8th Street? For those of you who are armchair attorneys I suggest you wait for the final results on the Home Depot issue before assigning blame or accolades. In the meantime, we should support anyone who volunteers to help us. Isn't Frank Rollason going for his 4th City pension? Is Linda Haskins still pulling down $160,000/yr. plus benefits?
Don't know about Rollason's pension but if he has it, he earned if by working for all of us for many years. Hope you'ew not suggesting he's "too old"!!!
And NO, Haskins is NOT "pulling down $160,000" a year from the City. She went off the payroll months ago....
I doubt very seriously that Marc Sarnoff would take the time or have the inclination to post here as anonymous. Grow up. Similary the posts in support of Home Depot and with statements against Marc appear to be written by the same person in style and content.
I have not met one person yet who actually lives in that part of the Grove who supports having a Home Depot in that Center. What's wrong with going right across US 1 to Shell Lumber? I love that store and Home Depot would probably put them out of business within a year. I can actually get someone to help me in Shell Lumber.
I think that we are all screwed for no taking a stand on HD even coming here to begin with. Im sure 98 of this comes from teh fact that we are all so used to just bending over and taking it from the local govts that many of us give up on paying attention to it anymore. Hence why something as big as HD on US1 in the Grove was able to slip by to begin with. Shame on all of us, but at the same time, maybe we were just blinded by local govt history.
As for the comparison to a HD in Chicago or Manhattan... Whoever posted that must be delusional and/or high on PCP. There are no yards in Chicago or Manhattan like many of us have here in teh Grove, therefore those stores are marketed towards urbanites. I wouldnt even consider them a real HD. The Grove is a mix, though mostly non-urban, and Im sure the Grove HD will be just like the bitch of a store on 8th street except with about 20 botox injections and a set of fake knockers to make everyone think she's a keeper.
And when did they get a Banana Republic at City Hall? Is it an outlet store? I really like their french cuff shirts...
Clever writing and social analysis is not for amateurs.
Keep those training wheels on a while longer.
Len Scinto has some good points AND he signs his name.
Something most writers won't do.
The Woody Allen Home Depot in N.Y. may be great, but it's in N.Y. Let's face it this is a banana republic. Our doorman wouldn't have time to tend the door. He'd be too busy checking receipts. We won't get anything but another 8th St. fiasco. It will be putting a cancer in the heart of the Grove. When are the halfwits that sit on the commission going to realize they can't turn Coconut Grove into a ghetto and still have a cash cow.
Miami is on the cusp of becoming a major city and as much as you may wish it would remain a simple bucolic village, it ain't gonna happen! Citification is coming and if that freaks you out, allow me to direct you to the next nearest hamlet……NOT in South Florida…..
I think Marc Sarnoff used the home depot issue as a platform to become a commissioner. His ego is so apparent in the fight against home depot. This is the reasong why I will not vote for Marc as a commissioner. That and I find his attitude at the coconut grove meetings to be very rude to anyone who's views he does not support.
Additionally, I feel that the group leading this fight against home depot should have recognized when it was time to negociate with home depot and taken the "coconut grove" design and saved the great trees in that parking lot. Instead ego led them to continue fighting a loosing fight. In the long term if the people of coconut grove are committed we can shop at Shell and not spend $1 at the home depot. Eventually they will leave if each member of this communtiy refuses to spend money at that store. I for one enjoy my popcorn and the service at Shell and have no need to spend any money at home depot.
I used to watch Marc Sarnoff on cable TV Miami TV. I did not know him but I admired his ability to politely and professionally chair the Coconut Grove Village Council. Those meetings appeared very literate, especially compared with how some of the other board meetings were run. Marc has been a volunteer. Marc's two main opponents in the Dist 2 race have been working for money. The final chapter of the Home Depot fiasco has yet to be written. Would you pick a winner in a horse race after the first turn? The City needs a fresh perspective. The City needs a highly intelligent independent commissioner. Ms Haskins states on the record she "loves Manny Diaz". This is the Manny Diaz of Monty's fame, of the $169 Mil gift to Midtown Miami fame, of the fire fee fiasco fame, of the no bid contracts to close friends fame, of the $50,000 raise in the middle of the night fame... Is Haskins the person you want representing you? Do you want more of the same?
Blah, blah, blah.....another loyal subscriber to the daily disinformation memo distributed from Sarnoff Central.
And ironically the dude who AWARDED the "no-bid contracts" (Joe Arriola) and the dude who GOT the "no bid contracts" (Steve Marin) are running Sarnoff's campaign and raising his $$$. Wait until the next contributions report for the BIG NEWS!
The lobbyist, Steve Marin, who got the no-bid contracts was Manny "I love concrete" Diaz's best friend. Why didn't those contracts go out to bid? Steve Marin has never been hired by Marc Sarnoff. Ask either man. Or check the public filings. We think Seth Gordon is spreading lies to benefit Linda Haskins.
Yes. Wait for the next campaign contributor list. See how much money Home Depot's attorneys and Home Depot's lobbyists funneled to Linda Haskins. See which huge real estate developers, who have pending projects in front of the Commission, gave to Linda Haskins. The big news will be Linda Haskins voting for every slimy deep pocketed donors project. But I suppose that would not be news for whichever paid slimball is spreading the lies about Steve Marin working on the Sarnoff campaign.
Are you REALLY sure Marin isn't working for Sarnoff? REALLY sure?
Has Sarnoff publicly denied it? Has Marin publicly denied it? Has Arriola publicly denied he is PAYING Marin to run the Sarnoff campaign? If you want to know the truth, ask Sarnoff to publicly deny it! Ask him to swear to it! Watch the sweat pour off his head. See his sweaty palms! Because he can’t deny it! The press would nail him for the lie! Because Arriola and Marin ARE the puppeteers running the Sarnoff Lie Machine!
This seems reasonable. Marc should respond to this. If someone is spreading untruths about his campaign he should set the record straight.
Have whatever reporter/journalist you want contact Marc Sarnoff for an "on the record" denial. In addition, campaign finance reports are public. Review them. You can also see all the out of town donors who were asked by Manny Diaz to support Haskins. Why is Manny Diaz so afraid of having an independent thinker on the Commission? Is Manny supporting Haskins because he knows she will continue to approve his shady deals? His no bid contracts to friends like Steve Marin? After all, Haskins stated she "loves Manny Diaz". And why did Haskins accept money from the Home Depot attorneys and lobbyists? Obviously, Haskins will vote for whatever Home Depot wants.
This poster seems to be speaking directly for Sarnoff.
Why won’t Sarnoff speak for himself?
Or is this "anonymous" poster really Sarnoff himself peeking out of the shadows under cover of anonymity?
And if Haskins is choking on Home Depot money, what about the gobs of cash being pumped into Sarnoff by Crazy Joe Arriola and the Marin Money Machine? There have got to be a lot of juicy no-bid contracts in their futures!
Besotted seems to have Joe Arriola and Steve Marin on the brain. Everyone knows, and the media has covered it extensively, that Manny Diaz brought Joe Arriola and Steve Marin to Miami. Diaz pitched Arriola as the businessman savior. Marin was/is Diaz's best friend. And Arriola would praise Diaz every chance he could. Diaz now needs Haskins to be a commissioner because he knows she is so indebted to him she will never qusetion his schemes.
Marc Sarnoff, in his role as an ersatz Harry Potter, would have us believe he has none of his namesake’s magical powers.
But in fact, Marc knows that when Diaz finally had to throw Joe Arriola out of City Hall, Arriola and Marin were none too happy to have the gravy train end. So they decided to punish Diaz and the entire city by seeking to elect the most unqualified person they could find to the City Commission. A person who, at the tail end of Arriola’s rein of terror as City Manager, when the entire community was pleading with Diaz to throw Joe from the train, popped up to urge that Joe be kept in place. It was one of the most bizarre moments in recent political history when Marc Sarnoff came to the defense of Arriola. No one could figure it out at the time. Everyone has figured it out now! Marc needed someone to fuel his campaign with cash. And Joe is his man!

The proposed Coconut Grove Home Depot requires us to address an issue key to the City of Miami’s growth: striking the difficult balance between the competing rights of citizens and property owners. The City administration and its formal review processes exist (in part) to help resolve these conflicts. This case has exposed weaknesses which could undermine our shared future.
On one hand is the right of existing neighbors to the protection of their lives and homes. On the other hand is Home Depot which proposes using the Coconut Grove property for a use that occurs nowhere else in Miami on similarly zoned land. (The only exception is the Home Depot store on SW 8th Street.)
Thus far the Planning Board and the Zoning Board have both ruled against Home Depot and in favor of the neighboring residents. Since early 2005, the City Commission has passed two new laws, which together prevent other commercial interests from operating businesses of the "big-box" variety within specific areas of the City. These laws were passed in part to close loop-holes in the City’s zoning code.
People are passionate about the aspects of this situation that affect them most. Access to food, freedom from the perceived threat to their family’s safety, the effects of changing traffic patterns and many other issues should all be considered in the balance between property owners.
Here’s the problem: That balance wasn’t considered.
That’s the City’s job, and it didn’t happen until after the local neighbors investigated the matter. In the early months of 2005, only Marc Sarnoff (in his role within the Village of Center Grove neighborhood association) asked the neighbors what they knew and how they felt. I attended those meetings and recall how little anyone then knew.
The City didn’t speak with the neighbors. The City seemed to stonewall against citizens learning about the Home Depot project. The City administration repeatedly failed to reply to requests for information. The City Commissioner for our district repeatedly put off requests for information. All the while the Home Depot permitting process was allowed to go forward.
Not until Marc Sarnoff brought together the many affected neighborhood groups did the City Commission finally give citizens a hearing.
Marc and his newly-coordinated citizens groups ultimately gained hearings before the City and its boards, and won the reviews and new laws mentioned above.
None of this would have happened without Marc listening to the citizens, testing their motives and plans, pushing-back against their assumptions when those were ill-founded, drawing upon experts for insight, and finally coordinating the famously-difficult-to-coordinate citizen groups of the district. More than 50 separate citizen groups have put their support behind the effort Marc led. (Long-time professional lobbyists and political observers within the City have told me privately that they have been amazed at the coordination and cohesion that Marc was able to establish and maintain, and said that it was truly a first for the City.)
I believe the central reason for Marc’s results is that he carefully listened to the groups he led. I also believe that because Marc acted in a forthright and open manner, citizens—appreciative that someone was finally listening to them—drafted him to become a candidate for the district 2 commission seat.
Wouldn’t it be better for this great City if its administrators and elected representatives listened to, and acted for, its citizens as Marc Sarnoff has?
The future of the Home Depot situation is still unknown, and each of us has their own opinions as to the best outcome and what’s most important to preserve.
For me, strengthening the right of citizen-neighbors to be heard by our government is worth fighting for, and I argue that it’s the core to our City’s future health. Some believe that a long-standing breakdown between citizens and the City government is central to many of the problems that we now collectively face.
Marc Sarnoff has shown us that an abyss between City and citizens can be bridged. Whatever the outcome of the Home Depot situation, everyone agrees it will be far better than Home Depot’s original big-box plans for the site.
I hope that the truly significant outcome of this situation will be a City that starts to listen to its citizens, and citizens that are engaged and motivated to act on their collective best future. The future this City faces could be bright or terrifying. Together, citizens and government can do better than either alone.
Let’s follow Marc Sarnoff’s example and stay committed to our neighbors.

Congratulations to Mel Meinhardt for standing up. Let us show respect to Mr. Meinhardt and to Marc Sarnoff by voting for Marc starting today and by asking all our friends and associates to vote for Marc.
Marc will likely get vastly outspent in this election but let us show that Dist 2 is special. Let us show that Dist 2 is made up of very intelligent people who can see through the B.S.
Thank you.
Queue the violins!
Man, this stuff is SO mawkish!
Who are you writing for?
Is the Grove really infested with weepy maiden aunts susceptible to this crap?
Sarnoff is a creepy overly ambitious wannabe politician who was NOT drafted for anything.
One does have to admire the grim humorless determination that has allowed him to bullshit his way this far. And in a world where BULLSHIT counts for a lot more than character and talent, he could actually win!
And just like the Grove whackos who went all ga-ga over Winton 8 years ago and then turned on him like crazed piranha; they will do the same to Sarnoff.
Can’t wait for that show!!!
What many in the Grove don't understand is that it won't make one bit of difference if Max Strang designs a Home Depot in the Grove or not. Put a Home Depot in the Grove and you get what goes along with a Home Depot, contractors and all. The SW 8th Street store would be no different if Max Strang designed it.
Response to Totally Amused:
It is clear totally amused is being paid by Home Depot and probably also by Linda Haskins. Are you getting paid $5,000 per month? And do you get a performance bonus if you get Home Depot to open on US 1? And is there a bonus if you can spread enough lies so even a Linda Haskins can get elected? Is everything about money for you?
Please have faith in the voters of Dist 2 to see through your tricks. Thank goodness for the Marc Sarnoffs and the Mel Meinhardts of the world.
"Jose" speaks with a very unusual "accent"
Must be a "Jose" from some far away other part of the world.....
From Jose Gonzalez
Born in Cuba. Moved to Miami in 1963. With enough experience to tell a paid lobbyist from a citizen. You "linguist" are a paid lobbyist.
Maybe where you come from "Jose" people only have the opinions they are permitted or paid to hold....but in this country people may hold any opinion they wish. If you feel the need to bully people into submission or cast aspersions on people who disagree with you, maybe we should all wonder how sound your opinions are…..and what really motivates you.
From Jose.
I notice "linguist" does not deny being a paid lobbyist. Proves my point.
Yo "Jose"
"Linguist" here.
No I'm not.
Next?
Jose has a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to Seth, I mean "linguist."
Marc Sarnoff is a very intelligent man, with a great education, but not enough experience in my opinion. He's this race's "green" candidate, promising mostly to "increase green spaces" and "expand our tree canopy." What about all the other pressing issues? I'm voting for Frank Rollason, because he's got a hell of a lot of experience, great ideas and the means to back them up. He'll be great for our city.
Rollason is totally honest and smart. Haskins is even more of a rookie (in a politcial sense) than Sarnoff but her instincts are good. Sarnoff continues to give me the willies! Too into himself!
Marc Sanoff has my vote. I look for brain power and independence in my commissioner. Linda Haskins has some brain power but absolutely no independence. 96% of her donors are big business interests from outside Miami and as she stated.."I love Manny Diaz"... How independent can she be?
Frank Rollason is a nice guy but I expect more than someone who is proud not to have been indicted. Sure Frank has been around. But do we want more of the same?
It does you no good to be "represented" by someone who can't get other Commissioners to support his initiatives. If elected Sarnoff would sit there and cast empty symbolic votes for four years and accomplish nothing while the other four commissioners (all of whom support Haskins) would run the city.
We know that if elected Marc Sarnoff could count on getting all his substantive items passed. People were making the same comments about Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of NYC. Look at how much he has accomplished. Let us count on brain power and new energy. Who wants "more of the same"?
Do not forget, the Herald endorsed Jose Cancella for Miami-Dade County Mayor. He finished something like 7th with 3% of the vote.
You "know" Sarnoff can pass his initiatives? That's news to the people who hold the votes! And Bloomberg is the executive mayor of New York. He can rule practically by fiat. He isn't one puny vote on a commission where everyone else opposes him!
Yes, we are certain Marc Sarnoff's initiatives will pass. They will be well thought out and they will benefit not only the constituents of District 2, but they will do honor to all the residents of the City of Miami. What politician could vote against something that would benefit all the residents?
As an aside to the previous poster; you seem to have a dark and sinister perspective. We assume you work for Haskins?
Marc Sarnoff just came in first in the Dist 2 voting leading his closest opponent by 600 votes. This was a District wide election. District 2 voters can be proud.
In the Nov 21st Runoff election Marc Sarnoff won 65% to 35%. Marc was outspent 5 to 1. Five of Marc's general election challengers endorsed him, including Frank Rollason. Marc won every major precinct in Dist 2. I think it is safe to say voters liked and trusted Marc and they did not like or trust the Manny Diaz machine. No more business (monkey business) as usual.
