DEVELOPMENT PROJECT The Miami-Dade County Code Section 33C-2(D)(9)(c) provides for a process by which the County shall select a developer for a Rapid Transit Zone project. A proposed development plan was prepared by Hometown Station Ltd. and was submitted to the County. The project will be subject to site plan review and final approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The County is seeking the City's comments on the proposed development, which can be used by the Board of County Commissioners when it formally reviews and acts upon the project. In order to assist the City Commission in reviewing the project,the following site and development plan information is provided: Site analysis Surrounding Parcels Comprehensive Plan Land Development Code Actual Use Existing Land Use Existing Zoning District Category North TODD TODD(MU-4) US Post office TODD(LI-4) Industrial Uses East Mixed Use Commercial/ SR Specialty Retail Commercial Residential (Hometown District) South . Mixed Use Commercial/ SR Specialty Retail Commercial Residential (Hometown District) West TODD TODD(MU-5) Office Building and Garage Mixed Use Commercial/ TODD(MU-4) Residential MO Medium Density Office Proposed Development: According to the applicant's submittal, the proposal consists of three separate development areas. Area "A" is adjacent to the southwest edge of the existing garage, and extends west to the.corner of SW 59`h Place and the entrance driveway near Sunset Drive. A new building is to be constructed here, which could be as tall as eight(8) stories,which is the same as the maximum permitted building height along the north side of Sunset Drive west of US 1. Area `B" is the area abutting the existing triangular garage, wrapping around the garage along the SW 59`h Place and SW 70`h Street facades. The proposal is to"wrap"the garage with a"liner building"which would contain retail and residential"live-work units." This portion of the development would not exceed five(5)stories in height. ft.

The.proposal is to add three additional stories above the existing garage,which could be used for either commercial office, hotel or residential purposes. Total building height would not exceed eight(8)stories. A general site plan showing the location of the three(3)development areas is attached.(see Attachment "C"). A schematic illustration of the proposed development is contained in an attached color brochure entitled"Hometown Station". (see Attachment"D") Building_Placement The proposed site plan shows the "liner building" wrapping around the existing parking garage, and built to the"build-to"or property line fronting SW 59'h Place and SW 701h Street. These frontages would have arcades or colonnades along the street,with public sidewalks underneath. Parking Requirements The development standards were written to incorporate City of South Miami parking standards for the various uses proposed. A 25% parking reduction is included in the parking requirement calculations, to take account of the mix of uses proposed and the location of the project within and directly adjacent to the South Miami Metrorail station. The main parking area will be the existing 674 space triangular garage, which will be entirely dedicated to the new development. A second, 1100 space garage, will remain in use by the Metrorail station for transit riders. Landscaping/Streetscape The development standards call for the project to be landscaped as much as possible, including on the rooftop of the garage. Open space must amount to 15.percent of the project. Traffic AnalXsis The developer has provided an in depth traffic analysis for the proposed Hometown Station project. The report's Executive Summary (p. 1) sets forth : (1) that the proposed project will not impact the level of service on the existing roadways in the area; (2) that no specific roadway improvements are required to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the proposed project. A copy of the "Hometown Station Traffic Analysis"is attached. (see Attachment"E") STAFF OBSERVATIONS (A) Master Plan Development Standards The Master Plan Development Standards prepared for the South Miami Metrorail Station are compatible with the design guidelines and development regulations contained in the City's own Transit Oriented Development District (TODD). The standards are also designed to encourage mixed use„ high density projects within the Station area, and to provide a pedestrian friendly atmosphere in keeping with the South Miami Hometown District. (B) Hometown Station Development Project The proposed mixed use project appears to incorporate most of the concepts specified in the Master Plan Development Standards for the site and as such it is compatible with both the City's Hometown Plan and the City's Transit Oriented Development District (TODD). The architectural design proposed for the buildings is consistent with nearby development in downtown South Miami, and respects the walkable, pedestrian orientation that the City is striving for. 1 "-..<3"'WI 3 w w 4Pub1k Hearing - Hometoim station 04-7,1002 Page 4 PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its April 30, 2002 meeting approved a motion recommending that the City .

Location: South Miami Metrorail Station Application: Miami-Dade County Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone Dear Mr. Scurr: Please accept this application for Planning Board and City Commission review and approval of the Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone portion of Miami-Dade County's Rapid Transit System ("Metrorail"). Our firm represents Hometown Station, Ltd. ("Hometown"), prospective developer of a mixed use project at the southern end of the South Miami Station of the Metrorail system. Pursuant to Chapter 33C(Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System-Development Zone)of the Code of Miami-Dade County,a copy of which is attached,Hometown hereby submits Development Standards for the mixed use development of the South Miami Station. In accordance with Chapter 33C, a coordinated review between the County and its municipalities has been established in order "to optimize the role of transportation as a potent tool for implementing the design patterns of Metropolitan development". Chapter 33C establishes a procedure for rapid transit developments within municipalities that requires the municipality to review and adopt the Master Plan Development Standards. After adoption of the Master Plan Development Standards by the City Commission,Hometown may proceed to the Board of County Commissioners with an application for site plan approval pursuant to Section 33C-2 (D) (9) (c) of the Miami-Dade County Code. \74913\15884\#558107 v 1 4/24/02 10:28 AM BILZIN SUMBERG DUNN BAENA PRICE & AXELROD LLP March 29, 2002 Page 2 Hometown has designed Master Plan Development Standards that are compatible with the area surrounding the South Miami Station and with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of South Miami. Key components such as definitions, permitted uses, parking regulations,building placement regulations,the provision of colonnades/arcades, signage,and site plan review standards utilize concepts in the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations to insure compatibility. The highlights of the Standards are as follows: 1. The Standards maximize public utilization of existing resources by earmarking the existing 674 space garage (the "triangular garage") at the southeastern corner of SW 70th Street and SW 59 Place(Church Street) for usage by workers and visitors to the Hometown project. 2. The Standards clearly delineate three separate,but interwoven phases of development: (a) Area "A" is located adjacent to the southwest edge of the triangular garage and features a mixed use building consisting of retail and office uses,with a public gathering place in front of the building. This public space will provide a focal point for the development that is well spaced from any residential units and provides a more efficient utilization of this public property. (b) Area "B" of the project will include a retail "liner" building that will "wrap-around" and connect to the existing triangular garage and provide retail service opportunities along both Church Street and SW 70 Street. This development will enhance the aesthetic value of the South Miami Station from the northerly adjacent community within the City. This area will also include "live- work" dwellings, an exciting development where citizens may live and work within the same unit. The"live-work"concept conforms with the City and County Comprehensive Plans and advances the ideals of"New Urbanism",which attempts to regulate land uses in a manner to significantly reduce the length and frequency of automobile trips. (c) Area"C describes the development of either office or residential development to a maximum height of three stories above the triangular garage in the area at the southeast corner of Church Street and SW 70 Street. This portion of the development will also enhance the visual ambiance of the station. 3. Hometown representatives have worked extensively with County and City staff to delineate a series of stringent,urban oriented design criteria that are included in the Master Plan Development Standards. Said Standards were prepared by the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Development Impact Committee in conjunction with your Planning Director and Assistant City Manager and approved by the Developmental Impact Committee Executive Council on March 6, 2002. The Standards comply with the provisions for "Urban Centers" in Miami-Dade County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan("CDMP"),which encourage convenient alternatives to automobile travel, more efficient land uses than recent suburban development forms, and create identifiable "Town Centers". The Standards create a distinctive sense of place for the Station that will create a destination point that extends to the non-peak hour/week day,week day/evening, and BILZIN SUMBERG DUNN BAENA PRICE & AXELROD LLP March 29, 2002 Page 3 weekend times.

Said standards were prepared by the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (DIC) and approved by the DIC Executive Council. I am forwarding this recommendation to you pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 33C-2(D) of the Code of Miami-Dade County. If you need additional information, please contact Ms. Diane O'Quinn Williams, Miami Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning Director, at (305) 375-2840. ncerely, Steve Shiver County Manager Enclosure c: City Commissioners, South Miami Charles D. Scurr, City Manager, South Miami Subrata Basu, Assistant City Manager, South Miami Richard Lorber, Director, City of South Miami Planning and Zoning Department Diane O'Quinn Williams, Director, Miami-Dade County Dept. of Planning & Zoning 1 . Recommendation on Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone REQUEST In accordance with Chapter 33C-2(D) of the Code of Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (RTDIC), consisting of municipal and County representatives, has reviewed the Master Plan Development Standards prepared and, submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. The site is located within the Rapid Transit Zone and depicted in the attached Exhibit No. 1. The Miami-Dade County Developmental Impact Committee Executive Council has reviewed the standards and requests approval of these standards as indicated herein. RECOMMENDATION Adoption, by the City of South Miami Commission, of the following master plan development standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone station site. BACKGROUND The South Miami station site contains a total of approximately 7.7 acres and is located in the City of South Miami east of SW 59 Avenue and between SW 70 Street and US Highway #1. The entire site lies within the Rapid Transit Zone as provided for in Chapter 33C of the Code of Miami-Dade County. Section 33C-2(D)(9)(d) provides: Whenever uses authorized by subparagraph (a) above are proposed within portions of the Rapid Transit Zone passing through municipalities, the Station Area Design and Development Program process, a joint municipal-County program, shall prepare proposed master plan development standards for such a proposed use. Such proposed master plan development standards shall be submitted to the appropriate municipality for review and adoption as the Master Land Use Plan for such uses. Once adopted, said land use plans shall control all public actions involving or affecting land use or development, including action on applications 'for zoning relief... Hometown Station, Ltd. prepared and submitted standards similar to those contained herein. In accordance with the above procedure, the RTDIC held a public meeting on January 9, 2002 to review the submitted standards. Comments from both County and City departmental staff regarding the site development standards were received and then reviewed by the DIC Executive Council. These standards were reviewed with a view toward complementing the surrounding area. The subject site is designated as Business and Office on the Comprehensive Development Master Plan Land Use Plan map. The site is also designated as a Community Urban Center, a localized but compact urban area that will contain a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. Areas developed as a community urban center shall, in accordance with the Miami-Dade Comprehensive Development Master plan, have a radius of 700 to 1,800 feet but may be extended to a radius of one-half mile where recommended in an area plan. The land uses surrounding the South Miami Transit Station consist of a United States Post Office and automotive repair use to the north, strip commercial uses to the south and east, and an eight-story office building and vacant building to the west. As a result of the RTDIC review, changes have been incorporated into the station site master plan development standards submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. The following are recommended: SOUTH WAN MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The following standards shall govern the use, site design, building mass, parking, circulation, and signage for all non-Metrorail development in the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. All development uses of non-system structures, whether public or private in nature, within the Rapid Transit Zone of the Stage 1 Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System, which includes all station sites and parking areas, shall be: consistent with the Miami-Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan in general, and the guidelines for development of Urban Centers, in particular (pages 1-37 through 1-40, 1999 edition); compatible with the Urban Design Manual prepared by the Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning (February, 1999 or latest edition); in compliance with Chapter 33C, Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System— Development Zone (1 through 5); in compliance with Chapter 33, Zoning, Division 6, Commercial Signs on Rapid Transit System Right-of-Way (121.20 through 121.4); and compatible with Metrorail Compendium of Design Criteria Volume I, Systemwide Design Criteria, Section 9.03.2.2, Chapter 9, Fire/Life Safety, and other portions of the Compendium as applicable. Additionally all projects, without exception, shall be submitted to the Miami-Dade Transit Agency Fire/Life Safety Committee for compliance review. 1) Purpose. The purpose of these Master Plan Development Standards is to provide the guidelines for future development within the boundaries of the South Miami Transit Station portion of the Rapid Transit Zone (as described below). The Master Plan Development Standards have been prepared to be compatible with the concept of South Miami's Transit-Oriented Development District and with adjacent existing uses. The Master Plan Development Standards are designed to encourage mixed use, high density projects within the Station area, and to provide a pedestrian friendly atmosphere in keeping with South Miami's Hometown District. The Master Plan Development Standards are very site specific and take into account existing uses within the boundaries of the site. Unless specified to the contrary, the Master Plan Development Standards supercede all conflicting requirements in Chapter 33 and Chapter 18A of the Code of Miami-Dade County. 2 The Master Plan Development Standards promote a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. The Master Plan Development Standards implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public infrastructure in an urban center, and that recognizes the shared parking benefit of vertically mixed development and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail connection. These shared benefits will further the achievement of the public goals of "Eastward Ho" and the orientation of development near existing public transportation corridors. 2) Boundaries. These Master Plan Development Standards shall apply to development in the South Miami Transit Station, defined as the area bounded by Sunset Drive, SW 59'h Place, SW 70" Street and the Right of Way for U.S. Highway No.1, as shown on the legal description and survey attached hereto as Exhibit No.1("South Miami Station"). 3) Existing Uses. The South Miami Transit Station currently contains the fixed guideway for the Rapid Transit System, the South Miami Station, a Miami-Dade County Fire Station, a rectangular five level parking garage containing approximately 1100 parking spaces, a triangular five level parking garage containing approximately 674 parking spaces, and a structural connection to *the South Miami Metrorail Station. These structures shall be considered as being in compliance with these Standards. This section shall not be construed as to modify the requirements of applicable building codes and safety standards. The rectangular garage may not be credited toward parking regulations as specified elsewhere in these Standards; the triangular garage may be credited toward said regulations. 4) Definitions. Terms used in this section shall take their commonly accepted meaning unless otherwise defined in Chapter 33 or Chapter 28 of the Code of Miami-Dade County. Terms requiring interpretation specific to this section are as follows: a) Arcade / colonnade: A roofed structure, extending over the sidewalk, open to the street except for supporting columns and piers. b) Building Height: The vertical distance from the crown of the adjacent street to the highest point of a flat roof or parapet, or to the underside of the eaves.

Open Space: An outdoor, at grade space accessible to the public all or most of the time, including parks, plazas, squares, greens, arcades/colonnades, and landscaped pedestrian promenades and/or associated ornamental or shaded landscaped areas. e) Story: The horizontal division of a building between the surface of a floor and the surface of the next floor above, or the next ceiling if there is no floor above. For the purposes of these Standards, a story shall be interpreted as each vertical unit of 14 foot maximum. fj Live/work Unit: A structure or portion of a structure combining a residential living space with an integrated work space principally used by one or more of the residents. 5) Development Areas: The South Miami Transit Station shall initially have three defined development areas, as shown on the attached Development Map (Exhibit No.1): a) Area "A". This area is located adjacent to the southwest edge of the rectangular garage, 3 extending west to SW 59th Place and south to.the entrance road to thedrop off zone and bus lane. b) Area `B" This area abuts the Triangular garage from the edge of Area "A", along SW 59th Place and SW 70th Street, to the end of the triangular garage. This area may include intrusion into the garage structure, but all construction must front on one of the adjacent streets. c) Area "C" This area includes the entire area above the triangular garage. 6) Permitted Uses: Mixed uses, as provided by Section 33C-2(D)(9)(a) shall be permitted, said uses including but not limited to residential (including housing for the elderly), office, live/work units, retail, hotels, restaurants (including outdoor dining), theatres, civic uses, and mobile cart vendors.

The project includes up to 675 parking spaces in the existing parking garage serving the South Miami MetroRail Station. The project is to be developed in three phases with ultimate build out in the year 2008. The site is located in the City of South Miami on the south side of SW 70th Street east of SW 59th Place. It is estimated that the proposed project will generate 267 vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and 232 the PM peak hour. Primary access to the site is via two existing driveways. One driveway is located on SW 70th Street. The other driveway is located on SW 59th Place. The SW 70th Street cross-section provides for one lane in each direction with parking on either side. At the signalized intersections with SW 62nd Avenue and SW 59th Place parking is removed to accommodate left turn lanes. SW 70th Street appears to have a 60' right-of-way. Within that right-of-way there are 6' sidewalks with 2' of curb and gutter on either side and 34' of pavement. Although, due to its location in a redevelopment and infill district, the project is exempt from City of South Miami concurrency standards; level of service analyses were conducted for the purpose of identifying any specific localized impacts of the project which might need to be mitigated. The level of service analysis was conducted for the existing year 2001 conditions and future conditions, in the year 2008, with and without the project. These analyses consisted of link level of service analysis. The analysis concluded that: • the proposed project will not have any impact on the existing roadway levels of service in the area; and, • there are no specific roadway improvements required to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the proposed project. 1 k 1.0 INTRODUCTION Hometown Station is a three phase development consisting of an office/retail component a residential/retail component, an assisted living component, and parking. As shown in Figure 1, the site is located on the south side of SW 70th Street east of SW 59th Place. The proposed development consists of the components shown in Table 1.

HOMETOWN STATION February 28,2002 Page 2 c 2.0 PURPOSE OF STUDY The primary purpose of this study is to assess the impacts of vehicular traffic generated by the proposed development on roadways within the study area. This is accomplished by conducting roadway link level of service analyses. In addition,the report provides a general assessment of project impacts on parking and pedestrians. Specific items discussed are as follows: • Existing traffic volumes and levels of service for major roadways within the study area; • Number of trips generated by the proposed project and the distribution of these trips within the study area network. Future background and project traffic conditions and levels of service; • Determination of project impacts on on-street parking; • Determination of project impacts on pedestrians: and, • Potential intrusion of cut-through traffic into adjacent neighborhoods. 3.0 STUDY AREA The study area's boundaries were defined to include: SW 62nd Street as the northern boundary, SW 78th Street as the southern boundary, SW 57th Avenue as the eastern boundary, and SW 67th Avenue as the western boundary. Figure ? shows the signalized intersections and roadway links which are most significant to the project. These include the following intersections: SW 59th Place and SW 70th Street SW 62nd Avenue and SW 70th Street SW 62nd Avenue and SW 72nd Street The roadway links include the following: SW 70th Street from SW 62nd Avenue to US-1 SW 62nd Avenue from SW 62nd Street to US-1 �w JACKSON M.MLSTEDT, P.E.

In addition to these counts,existing count data was obtained from the traffic impact analysis prepared for the University Place project. 4.2.2 PREVAILING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS This section describes the traffic conditions on selected roadways and at selected intersections in the study area. SW 59TH PLACE Traffic flow on SW 59th Place is good. SW 62ND AVENUE Traffic flow on SW 62nd Avenue is generally good. During the PM peak hour queues are created in the right hand lane of southbound SW 62nd Avenue at its intersection with Sunset Drive. These are attributable to the high volume of right turn traffic, disruptions created by the bus stop between Sunset Drive and SW 70th Street, and traffic exiting the 7000 SW 62nd Avenue building. JACKSON M.AHLSTEDT,P.E. HOMETOWN STATION February 28,2002 Page 8 SW 70TH STREET Traffic flow on SW 70th Street is good. Peak hour queues are created at the intersection with US-1. SUNSET DRIVE Traffic flow on Sunset Drive is good. For a short period of time, PM peak hour queues are created in the westbound direction at the intersection with SW 67th Avenue. During the PM peak hour eastbound U-turn traffic represents a high percentage(33%)of the traffic in the left turn lane. These left turns create operational problems for the eastbound left turns on Sunset Drive and southbound right turns on SW 62nd Avenue.

The number of vehicular trips generated by the various components of the proposed project were developed based upon the following: 1. Office traffic was determined based on the total square footage of medical office space using data for ITE Land Use Code 710. 2. Retail traffic was determined based on the total square footage of retail space using data for ITE Land Use Code 814. 3. Apartment traffic was based on the total number of apartments, using data for ITE Land Use Code 220. 4. Assisted living traffic was based on the total number of dwelling units, using data for ITE Land Use Code 253 The results are shown in Table 5 thru 7.

This was accomplished by using the estimated 2008 future traffic volumes and adding the traffic generated by the project(as shown in Table 10). Table 17 details the future traffic volumes with the project for the AM and PM peak hours. These volumes were used to determine the intersection and link levels of service using the previously identified methodologies. The link level of service analysis for future traffic conditions with the project was performed on the previously identified roadway links. The results are summarized in Table 18.

The project will be able to utilize up to 675 existing on-site parking spaces. Parking will be provide for residents, employees and visitors to the site. The project planner currently estimates that the project would be required to provide approximately 488 parking spaces. 11.0 PEDESTRIANS Little pedestrian activity was noted in the immediate vicinity of the site. There are currently side walks on the east side of SW 59th Place and south side of 70th Street adjacent to the site. There are pedestrian buttons without pedestrian signals at the intersections of SW 70th Street and SW 62nd Avenue, and SW 70th Street and 59th Place. There are pedestrian buttons with pedestrian signals at the intersection of Sunset Drive and SW 62nd Avenue. 12.0 PROJECT SITE PLAN Traffic and transportation aspects of the proposed site plan were reviewed and analyzed. 12.1 PROJECT DRIVEWAYS The proposed project utilizes two existing two-way driveway serving the site. One driveway is located on SW 70th Street and the other driveway is located on SW 59th Place. Table 19 summarizes the AM and PM peak hour driveway volumes anticipated at the service points.

Analysis of potential inbound queues for the AM and PM peak hours indicates that there is approximately a 99% probability that. the queue should not exceed 1 vehicles plus the vehicle being served. 12.2 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS The proposed site plan provides good pedestrian access to both SW 70th Street and SW 59th Place. 13.0 CONCLUSIONS After reviewing the results of the roadway link analysis, it appears that there will be no changes in level of service by the year 2008 with or without the project. While the anticipated future increase in traffic in the area will result in some deterioration in levels of service, project traffic will not result in a change in the level of service on the roadway links in the area. The proposed project does not require any modifications to the roadways in the area. JACKSON M.AHLSTEDT,P.E.

The purpose of the re-plat is a technical correction to the plat approved in 2003 by removing a 10 foot wide perimeter easement which runs around the boundary of the entire site now called Tract"A". BACKGROUND: Hometown Station Ltd., in conjunction with the Miami Dade County Transit Agency, is undertaking a development at the site of the South 1Vrcami Metrorail Station. The City Commission at its May 7, 2002 meeting adopted the Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone and approved the Hometown Station Development Project, a proposedd mixed-use development containing a combination of office, retail and residential space at the South Mami Metrorail Station (Resolution 62-02-11411). As part of the development process the entire site was re-platted as a single parcel. The City Commission at its April 15, 2003 meeting approved a final plat for this property(Resolution No. 59-03-11608). PROPOSED REVISION: The applicant's engineering firm (PBSJ) explains in the accompanying letter that the 10 foot utility easement which appears on the 2003 plat would seriously impact "the existing building envelope and will also affect work anticipated by Miami-Dade Transit and its respective tenants for the overall building site." The only method for removing the easement is the re-plat PlatApproval Hometown Station(Metrorall) Page 2 of 2 procedure. This revision does not affect the exterior boundaries or the proposed use of the site. The engineering firm also has submitted letters of no objection from Bell-South, FP&L, M-D Water& Sewer Authority and NUI City Gas. PLANNING BOARD ACTION: The Planning Board at its September 15, 2005 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 5 ayes 0 nays recommending approval of the proposed re-plat. RECOM3ffNDATTON• It is recommended that the proposed re-plat of Tract"A" of"South Miami Station" be approved.

Pursuant to your instructions, we are submitting for the City of South Miami's consideration five (5) certified copies of the Boundary and Limited Topographic Survey for the proposed plat of "South Miami Station Replat." By way of explanation, this property (which was platted as "South Miami Station" last year and recorded in Plat Book 160 at Page 85) contains a.1 0-foot wide perimetrical utility easement running parallel with the entire Tract "A." This easement seriously impacts the existing building envelope and will also affect future work anticipated by Miami-Dade Transit and its respective tenants for the overall building site. Among other things, the Code of Miami-Dade County requires that when an easement is created by plat, the entire plat (or tract) affected by same must be replatted in order to extinguish the aforesaid easement. Therefore, we make this submittal for this express propose only, with no changes to the exterior boundaries or proposed use of the underlying property. For your reference, I also attach the sign-off letters from the utility providers and a Memorandum of Agreement pertaining to the Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Department regarding utility placement. I trust these letters and agreement will serve as positive evidence that the affected utility providers are aware of and will to cooperate in this regard.
