Gimenez; Commissioner Xavier L. arez Subject: se evelopment x- 790 Svc �oS Russell Benford T Deputy-Mayor Miami-Dade County Dear Deputy Mayor Benford, We had the occasion to make our acquaintance at a recent South Miami City Commission meeting. You may recall, I am the publisher of SOMI Magazine, and former educator at Columbus H.S. when Mayor Gimenez was a student. Beyond that I am a resident/homeowner in South Miami since 1974 and a marketing/management consultant with my business in South Miami since 1982. I understand, from a third party, that there is a proposed low-income high-rise development planned for the South Miami Metrorail Station at the very entrance to our "South Miami Town Center." Sir, as Deputy Mayor for Public Housing & Community Development, I am addressing these concerns to you as I believe this development will be a serious detriment to the vitality of our South Miami business district and community. While the county may benefit financially from such a project, the community of South Miami will bear the brunt. I have spoken with the business leadership and elected officials in this regard. We must not allow this to happen. I realize there is little time to effect a change, however, we must engage the county so that this does not happen. In my conversation with Mayor Stoddard, he is eager to discuss alternative developments on this site. Let us explore options: a swap of city property to build an low-income housing project (if that is in the true best interests of the county and city); consider a joint venture between the city, the county and a private developer to build an alternative use on the site, e.g., high rise class "B" office, retail and restaurants. For the continued prosperity of our city's "downtown" district and the costs associated with such a development for local policing and social services, we need to consider alternatives. I would respectfully request you to engage the local business and civic leaders in order to consider the alternatives. Can your office faciliate these discussions? Thank you for your time and consideration. Cordially yours, john edward smith c: Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez Miami-Dade County Commissioner Xavier L.
