Mr. Perez presented the item, providing an overview of the process since it has been going before the Commission and subsequently deferred for the past six months. One of the most important issues to be resolved was to obtain approval from FDOT to permit a curb cut on South Dixie Highway. The Commission discussed condition no. 6 under Section 5 of the resolution. There was concern about the mandatory left turn for all traffic exiting from the parking garage on SW 59 Court. Commissioner Beckman said that it would be difficult to predict how the traffic will react when the time comes. At this time speakers were sworn in and the public hearing was' opened. Marcelo Fernandez from the 64 Development Corp. addressed t'he Commission. He said that he understands the concerns of the Commission but that he has tried to put the best plan together, working with the City and with FDOT. He said that FDOT only talk about statistics, traffic flaw and curb cuts because they are engineers. He said that they recommended using two points of entrance; the engineer recommended 74th instead of 59th. He went back and requested 59th because the City and neighbors requested that. He said that he has gone against the traffic study and against the recommendations of the engineers in order to try to accommodate everybody. Sharon McCain said that Mr. Fernandez has been very kind to the neighbors and that he listened to them; she then spoke in favor of the project. Moved by Commissioner Beckman, seconded by Vice Mayor Wiscombe, the motion to extend the meeting until 12:00 p.m. passed by a 5-0 vote: Commissioner Palmer: Yea Yea Commissioner Birts: Yea Commissioner Beckman: Yea Vice Mayor Wiscombe: Yea Mayor Feliu: Yea Shirley Huebner urged the Commission to amend the resolution by eliminating the 74th Street option and to approve the resolution. With no further speakers the public hearing was closed.

The motion to approve the amendment passed by a 5 -0 vote: Commissioner Palmer: Yea Yea Commissioner Birts: Yea Commissioner Beckman: Yea Vice Mayor Wiscombe: Yea Mayor Feliu: Yea Regarding a question on the advantages of having a development agreement, Mr. Perez explained that they run for ten years; however, both the City and the applicant have the right to look at the agreement and if there is a need to extend it beyond the ten years they can do that. Mr. Perez further explained that in his professional opinion, a development agreement that is well crafted and addresses the key issues could be very beneficial to the City because you can go back and evaluate the progress on an annual basis. In addition, after the fifth year the report not only comes before the City Commission, but it also goes to the Florida Department of Community Affairs to ensure that the agreement is enforced based upon the conditions set forth. Counsel Figueredo, regarding the need for an agreement said that it is a good idea in the sense that it delineates people's responsibilities providing better chance for compliance.
