Scurr, City Manager From: Subrata Basu, ACM Richard Lorber, Planning Director Subject: Date: January 10, 2001 Cc: Greg Oravec, David Goodin With reference to the application submitted today by Miami-Dade Transit for the Tentative Plat for the Hometown Station project, we have made a preliminary review of the Tentative Plat. The following issues should be addressed before the item is placed on the City Commission agenda for consideration to approve the Tentative Plat. Perhaps the applicants should make an informational presentation to the Commission on January 16`'', detailing the changes the proposal has gone through, and addressing our concerns. • We had previously requested, but have not received as part of the application, a letter from the Miami-Dade County Public Works Department, confirming that the approximately 40 feet of right-of-way remaining for traffic on 70`h Street will be wide enough to contain four 10-foot traffic lanes, which the City believes is the minimum necessary to insure adequate traffic circulation. It is important the City obtain the .County's commitment not to object to such a configuration. • It is understood that the proposed Hometown Station project requires the additional right-of-way area in front of the parking garage structure to accommodate part of the project. However, the proposed plat requires the City to also give up the right-of-way in front of the fire station. This is not necessary to accommodate the project, and should be deleted; that r-o-w in front of the fire station is most proximate to the US 1 intersection, and might be important for future intersection improvements there. • The plat contains a "Development Criteria Table" which lists the proposed uses and square footage of each use. It is not clear whether this table is the final word on the proposed uses, or simply one of a number of possible scenarios. The specified mix is troubling, as the residential component has been completely eliminated; the project as now proposed consists of 253,600 s.f. of offices (including City Hall government offices) and 13,000 s.f. of retail. The previously proposed live-work units are not referenced. • The Tentative Plat document shows only the proposed plat line; it would be helpful for discussion purposes to have the plat show the existing property line as well as that proposed. • The City Attorney should probably be consulted as to whether the vacation of public property that this application calls for can be done through the Tentative Plat approval process by resolution alone, or if this raises the requirement for an ordinance and advertised public hearing. J-6M r4 jdS.k,y, CO 0%1�e ��;�(� �,J2(/S S�4rol We will begin preparation of the necessary back up documents for the City Commission as soon as these items are addressed; however,it is difficult to contemplate the finalization of a recommendation, ordinance, etc., before we iron this out. Please let us know if we should follow up with the developer so they can address these issues. Meanwhile, as stated above,it seems appropriate for the developer to make a preliminary presentation to the Commission, for informational purposes, at the same time as we are working out these issues and finalizing our material for the formal approval of the application.

Stearns, Weaver, et al. Museum Tower, Suite 2200 150 West Flagler Street Miami, Florida 33130 Re: Plat of South Miami Transit Station Proposed Rights-of-Way at SW 59th Place and SW 701h Street Dear Ms. Welles: I have been asked to review the status of the municipal rights-of-way at SW 59th Place and SW 701h Street in connection with the proposed Hometown Station development. The ROW on SW 59`h Place is approximately 550 feet long by 10 feet wide and the ROW on SW 701h Street is approximately 820 feet long by 17 feet wide. The rights-of-way were purportedly conveyed to the City in connection with the plat for the South Miami Transit Station. The county would like to have the rights-of-way conveyed to it to facilitate the development of the Hometown Station development. I reviewed the letter from Mr. Thomas T. Cooper, AIA, dated October 16, 2000, regarding his recollection of facts, the final plat for the South Miami Transit Station, dated February 9, 1982 and Resolution no. 80-82-4080, which was approved on December 21, 1982 and approved the referenced plat. Mr. Cooper's letter advises that he believes the rights-of-way were conveyed to the City by the plat, but the plat was never recorded. I do not possess any facts that suggest the rights-of-way were conveyed to the City. Title to rights-of-way can be conveyed to the City by two means: (1) by deed, or (2) by dedication on a plat. I have not been presented with a deed for the rights-of-way and have not ordered a title search. While the 1982 plat depicts the proposed municipal rights-of-way, the plat does not contain any dedication language. A map or plat that shows a proposed right-of-way but does.not contain language dedicating the property to "City of Pleasant Living" i� Ms. Patricia Welles, Esq. February 1, 2001 Page 2 of 2 the public does not convey any interest in the property. It anticipates a further, separate act, such as delivery of a deed, to accomplish the transfer of title to the public. Accordingly, unless a title search locates a deed to the City for the rights-of-way, it is my view that the City does not need to take any action to convey the property to the county. I do not have any other opinion regarding who owns the property. Please let me know if you have any questions about the subject matter of this letter. Very truly yours, { Earl G.

The revised document incorporates the staff comments at the January 9, 2002 meeting of the Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (RTDIC), as well as staff suggestions from subsequent individual meetings. Please schedule this application on the next available agenda of the DIC Executive Council. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, Jerry B. Proctor JBP/id cc: Hank Marks Pablo Lupinacci Subrata Basu, Assistant City Manager, City of South Miami Richard Lorber,AICP Planning Director, City of South Miami Frank Talleda, MDC Transit Tom Cooper Victor Dover \74913\15884\#550725 v1 2/19/2002 r Master Plan Development Standards For South Miami Transit Station 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. 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 59th Place, SW 70th Street and the Right of Way for U.S. Highway No:1,,as shown on the legal description and survey attached hereto as Exhibit "A" ("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. \74913\15884\#550129 v 2 1 2/19/02 12:59 PM r 4) Definitions.

These standards, once adopted by the City, are to be used to guide future redevelopment on the site. HOMETOWN STATION LTD. 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.

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 IID") 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"Place and SW 70`'' 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/Streetseape 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 Analysis 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. sx�yk �sPilblic Near ;ixrx 5r w ,.

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 Gv4�uuik �aFa .diL+4 FXL . j 7,. .

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 70`h 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 comer 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 rr � -gin — ^,i.,, 1 µ„..'f.+��Y�k_ .r,i i)fi,Pr 1W'afiMb�` ` . ��s f t;4 f f�# '.td,,'yLD..3• �, ,t exY t:.—t'L'�V .04 Pt, 4X B v e .�”.S_.`^��''u^? i-�T.fC c T r..t}^i' .s�1�.q.P ')✓rA',,'i.'' �,r LLPa �� z'• �,, � E� t� � �� .,}� k�,v�,�krr �.'4.. �n�. ,+�--:m.. �« �rJn � •'ifs tF+s y: a P' R� ��" ' �� _ _ _ ��s�x• M.r y r4 ' �t�. ..��5t k(YS Ae 3 i:.. .rs�, ysa .tr ' i .1Y1 ^^ 1f" QV �.�! a., 'µir '�v�.xz$ �'Y ti _ 4,f..

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 •'r +.�.w r'{'. r ' ,+fs.,jSfa,..z.t yr _ -::.,ssPik..,._ `" .'W W.-J,�3 k x aGz+v.Nxa,a„et e � n��°ri'�,�,.., rr r`�x J':}d �'' d'L'�xti,. - f 4iA4'V�t+" have a radius'of 700 to 1;800 feetRbut ma t e t i�d Comprehensive Development Master plan, y. "' + A 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 MIAMI 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 y�' ' ns er `.ztti' !'

Y i' Xvt i ve �t`-strr:. t'td'li" u � LOW •;;.`v �.nM$�"�....�fl�� h 1,�� 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 591h Place, SW 7011 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.

Station will be built within and around the South Miami Metrorail Station. r South Miami was recently named an All-America City by the National Civic League. The goal is to help restore and complete a crucial piece of this evolving;dynamic community.This development will build upon the investments A that the Miami-Dade Transit Agency,the City of South Miami,Community .Y Redevelopment Agency and neighbors have made over man y years,and will leverage improvements to the immediate physical environment in order to promote economic revitalization over a much larger area.A collection of thin"liner building"elements will wrap . around and atop the existing garage,adding new round-the-clock occupants and putting a whole new human face on the station. Inside,the garages are being dramatically brightened up and refurbished.The edges of the buildings will feature storefronts along the sidewalks and arcades overhead,and new balconies,terraces and windows will overlook the streets and the square. Binding together and complementing the existing garage and platform,these elements will help change the station area into a unified,urbane place.

Foreground left: Hometown Station will re-establish Church Street as a viable address, encouraging redevelopment in the larger station-area neighborhood. One of the primary tenets of good urban design is that street life is crucial to the vitality of a '' community.Hometown Station is designed to dramatically transform the station environment from an inward-looking form to one that is connected to its surroundings.The pedestrian- !;x friendly approach is key to promoting the next =< generation of transit ridership growth and v catalyzing the revitalization of the nearby neighborhood. The existing garage(right)does not offer a good experience for the more than 3000 pedestrians that walk by the site daily,nor do enough to enhance nearby property values. With the addition of the new"liner building" (above),Church Street and SW 70th Street will become inviting parts of a upbeat urban scene. Similarly,the green space south of the garage will be re-ordered into an open,usable,public space--a small square--once the new Sunset Building is added facing it. - `4�•i_ tt'Sf: % =, • wry+!'"`, _ i . s .Y.•��i s �'r�_..T..u.�•�j_. y Tom_, ."_._ Ina 0H R�1 � �p ',��.`:.1.•.�_ �. �� , ��••,y'_� ..'•�5 t4[S' �P x 1£3 !1 ?1S 1 e� na aq ap ci m a? 1 r - 631 #Ff �'. in WIN l . . 4. ` -ffei�' o�aC 7�ai1 y E4 ilID •EtC� In9i "MAM7 �, - = - West Elevation view,along SW 59th Place:Sunset Building on right;storefronts in arcade and Live/Work Units in center,Courtyard Building on left above M-'0'r„LS A`.;is o- r'' /gyp ayJ i it" •k r -�. —.;a aAfY S'rn�'+°...SunSt...E•-+3i• r+• ZEN _ S-ith I: Miami y View from West Sunset Building and public square facing Sunset Drive; rapid transit station in background. i Future phase construction,courtyard building Retail at ground floor with Live I Work Units above along both street frontages Existing Garage 1 - triangular structure on north t Existing Garage 2-rectangular structure on south :.9 i f First phase new construction,6-8 stories IM loll, .._ — 1 La T ail i Im In It Ar TT I-Aw!

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 �6r nsr ex r r Yai °"� i�TM,�� a d su a�r -. s�' .:.f7l.. ,`•a� z �i � ��aa'r F�'•r F�MP, �t,*✓s� ��-` a�M �i e ��E� � 4.ltti�`ta + TRODUC z v TION _ Hometown Station is a three phase development con si ` a residential/retail component, an assisted living com component, Figure 1, the site is located on the song of an office/retail component "* p t, and parking. south side of SW 70th Street east of SW As 59th own m The proposed development consists of the components shown in Table 1. ate' TABLE 1 PROJECT DATA PHASE TYPE QUANTITY UNITS ONE OFFICE 75,000 GSF RETAIL 11,000 TWO APARTMENTS GSF 18 DU RETAIL 12,000 THREE ASSISTED GSF 100 LIVING DU PARKING 675 SPACES The residential component of the project consists of rental apartments.

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.

Future traffic without the project.was estimated by applying an annual growth factor to existing traffic. Historical FDOT traffic count and City of South Miami data on major committed developments was researched to establish an annual growth rate. The annual growth factor of 2.13% per year was developed based upon the historical traffic count data and committed development traffic shown in Table 14. The growth rate of 2.13% per year was applied to the 2000 FDOT traffic counts and the year 2000 and 2001 traffic volumes in order to achieve 2008 traffic volumes. JACKSON M.AHLSTEDT,P.E.

There are no metered parking spaces on the south side of SW 70th.Street, or east side of 59th Place.adjacent to the site. 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.

Goodin Stormwater Utility Manager, City of South Miami (305)668-7355 ----Original Message-- From: David Goodin Sent: Friday,January 12,2001 1:56 PM To: 'Hasan,Muhammed,(PWD)' Subject: MetroRail Station Re-plat issues Importance: High Mr. Hasan, The City has referred certain developers to your office to get clarification on an issue involving a re-plat of the MetroRail Station site at SW 72nd Street and US1. In brief, the proposed re-plat would decrease the available pavement width in SW 70 Street, on the north side of the station. Currently, this street has four 11'wide traffic lanes, for a total of 44' of pavement width. The re-plat would decrease the pavement width to 38'to 40'total (exact reduction unclear at this moment). The key issue is how much right-of-way will be needed for the operation of the MetroRail bus station, plus the added volumes generated by the new commercial development to be built over the MetroRail garages. The City is hesitant to vacate public right-of-way without knowing the position of the Dade County Public Works Department on the traffic engineering issues for this street. Please contact me if you have any questions on this issue at(305) 668-7207, or(305)668-7355. Thank you. David K.

The Year 2000 Tentative Plat deletes the originally-proposed dedication of 17 feet along the south side of S.W. 701h Street (north side of the property referred to as "City Strip A") and 13.5 feet along the east side of S.W. 591h Place (west side of the property referred to as "City Strip B") as future rights of way for the streets. The two strips were originally proposed in a 1982 plat which was passed and adopted by the City of South Miami on December 21, 1982 (R-80-82-4080). Previously, on November 16, 1982, the Miami-Dade County Commission authorized the Mayor to execute the plat (R-1601-82). The Final Plat, however, was never recorded. The two strips shall be incorporated into developable tracts of station property for the construction of the proposed Hometown Station joint development. As you know, Miami-Dade County entered into a contractual relationship with Hometown Station, Ltd. for the joint development of land and air rights at the South Miami Metrorail Station site. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this 4t' day of January, 2001 by Danny Alvarez of Miami-Dade County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida,on behalf of the County.

Very truly yours, Subrata Basu a Assistant City Manager / Planning Director SB/ds Subrata Basu ly From: Subrata Basu [SBasu @cityofsouthmiami.net] on behalf of Subrata Basu Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 8:42 AM To: 'tcooper @chaelcooper.com'; 'gmdiaz @masvidalparterns.com'; 'vdover @doverkohl.com' Subject: Hometown Station 'ate s � � _ 2 Wt X05 3 .,....,,......,. L CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Charles D. Scurf, City Manager From: Subrata Basu, ACM/Planning Director Subject: Hometown Station/Rescinding of Resolution# 80-82-4080 Date: 09/26/2000 Cc: Greg Oravec, Acting CRA Director; Fernando Rodriguez, PW Director With reference to a memorandum dated August 22, 2000 from Gladys M Diaz to you, the following are my comments. I have reviewed the Tentative Plat, which I received late yesterday evening. I believe that the following needs addressing before the item can be placed in the City Commission agenda for consideration to rescind Resolution # 80-82-4080 dedicating additional properties to the City right of way. • Need a formal request from the County or the Developer on behalf of the County to rescind the above referenced Resolution. • The legal description on the Amended Plat appears to describe the Tract before amendment. A reference to 15 feet to the south property line in the legal description is not clear, has this already been dedicated? • The request needs to be reviewed by Public Works for its impact on the future right of way improvements that may be contemplated or required to accommodate potential developments in the area. Both 59`h Place and 70`h Street are major streets and will continue to take its share of the traffic as developments occur. • Reverting of the unrecorded portion of the right of way must be subject to a covenant by the developer or the County that, at the street level, this additional property is to be utilized to build and maintain sidewalk with pedestrian amenities. • The project mix is of some concern. As you know, this project was heralded as a project that was going to bring a major "affordable" residential component into this area. This development with the residential component demonstrated the viability of transit oriented projects and promoted urban lifestyle. As the project evolved, the residential component has whittled to a very small part of the project. I understand that it may be subject to further reduction to a very insignificant part. I strongly believe that a critical CHARLES D. Smut, CITY MANAGER/ I IOME'TOWN ST'A'TION mass of residential component is essential to help improve the area. As originally proposed, it needs to provide enough inhabitants living in units facing the streets that provide "eyes on the street" and foster a safe transit village concept. Office and retail uses without meaningful residential presence is simply not going to help the area and may lead to boarded up storefronts. Any approval from the city for reverting the right of way or any other approval should be contingent upon having a residential component that provide for critical mass of inhabitants for the project. The original proposal, as you may recall, included about 120 residential units with a number of "live-work" units. I understand and can appreciate that a different mix is needed to make the project viable for the developer. At the same time to make the project viable for the community, the residential component providing a critical mass of inhabitants is important. Before the City reverts the right of way back to the County it will be appropriate to obtain such a commitment from the developer. Thank you and I will prepare the necessary back up documents for the City Commission as soon as these items are addressed. Please let me know if I should follow up with the developer so they can address these issue. Thank you. 2 1y W * —IND.

Scurr, City Manager From: Subrata Basu,ACM/Planning Director Subject: Hometown Station/Rescinding of Resolution# 80-82-4080 Date: 09/26/2000 Cc: Greg Oravec,Acting CRA Director; Fernando Rodriguez,PW Director With reference to a memorandum dated August 22, 2000 from Gladys M Diaz to you, the following are my comments. I have reviewed the Tentative Plat, which I received late yesterday evening. I believe that the following needs addressing before the item can be placed in the City Commission agenda for consideration to rescind Resolution # 80-82 74080 dedicating additional properties to the City right of way. • Need a formal request from the County or the Developer on behalf of the County to rescind the above referenced Resolution. • The legal description on the Amended Plat appears to describe the Tract before amendment. A reference to 15 feet to the south property line in the legal description is not clear,has this already been dedicated? • The request needs to be reviewed by Public Works for its impact on the future right of way improvements that may be contemplated or required to accommodate potential developments in the area. Both 59`h Place and 70`h Street are major streets and will continue to take its share of the traffic as developments occur. • Reverting of the unrecorded portion of the right of way must be subject to a covenant by the developer or the County that, at the street level, this additional property is to be utilized to build and maintain sidewalk with pedestrian amenities. • The project mix is of some concern. As you know, this project was heralded as a project that was going to bring a major "affordable" residential component into this area. This development with the residential component demonstrated the viability of transit oriented projects and promoted urban lifestyle. As the project evolved, the residential component has whittled to a very small part of the project. I understand that it may be subject to further reduction to a very insignificant part. I strongly believe that a critical CHARLES D. SCURR,CITY MANAGER/ HOMETOWN STATION mass of residential component is essential to help improve the area. As originally proposed, it needs to provide enough inhabitants living in units facing the streets that provide "eyes on the street" and foster a safe transit village concept. Office and retail uses without meaningful residential presence is simply not going to help the area and may lead to boarded up storefronts. Any approval from the city for reverting the right of way or any other approval should be contingent upon having a residential component that provide for critical mass of inhabitants for the project. The original proposal, as you may recall, included about 120 residential units with a number of "live-work" units. I understand and can appreciate that a different mix is needed to make the project viable for the developer. At the same time to make the project viable for the community, the residential component providing a critical mass of inhabitants is important. Before the City reverts the right of way back to the County it will be appropriate to obtain such a commitment from the developer. Thank you and I will prepare the necessary back up documents for the City Commission as soon as these items are addressed. Please let me know if I should follow up with the developer so they can address these issue. Thank you. 2 i ......................... .......................... ........................... ........................... ...........................

Diaz, Development Director, Hometown Station Date: 8/22/00 Re: Platting of South Miami Transit Station Site Gentlemen: I am writing to request your official response regarding the platting of the Hometown Station site. At this time, we are requesting that the County allow the development team to build up to the"RIGHT OF WAY" line, which is about 13' or so from the edge of the existing building. This would enable us to build the proposed arcade surrounding the building along SW 591' Place and SW 7e St. This would leave a 50' Right-of-Way for both SW 70 St. and SW 5e Place Please advise in writing if this is sufficient for the City of South Miami and inform us as to the timing of the approvals sequence so we may proceed with our design and engineering consultants as quickly as possible. I have a copy of the proposed platting drawing if you wish to see it. tT o u.

South Miami was recently named an All-America City by the National Civic f League. The goal is to help restore and complete a crucial piece of this evolving,dynamic community.This development will build upon the investments - �- - - that the Miami-Dade Transit Agency,the City of South Miami,Community Redevelopment Agency and neighbors have made over many years,and will leverage improvements to the immediate physical environment in order to,promote economic revitalization over a much larger area.A collection of thin"liner building"elements will wrap around and atop the existing garage,adding new round-the-clock occupants and putting a whole new human face on the station. Inside,the garages are being dramatically brightened up and refurbished.The edges of the buildings will feature storefronts along the sidewalks and arcades overhead,and new balconies,terraces and windows will overlook the streets and the square. Binding together and complementing the existing garage and platform,these elements will help change the station area into a unified,urbane place.

Church Street Arcade covers sidewalk along east side of SW 59th Place;Live/Work Units are above.Foreground left: Hometown Station will re-establish Church Street as a viable address. encouraging redevelopment in the larger station-area neighborhood. One of the primary tenets of good urban design irl is that street life is crucial to the vitality of a community.Hometown Station is designed to dramatically transform the station environment from an inward-looking form to one that is connected to its surroundings.The pedestrian- friendly approach is key to promoting the next generation of transit ridership growth and r catalyzing the revitalization of the nearby neighborhood. The existing garage(right)does not offer a good experience for the more than 3000 pedestrians that walk by the site daily,nor do enough to enhance nearby property values. With the addition of the new"liner building" (above),Church Street and SW 70th Street will become inviting parts of a upbeat urban scene. Similarly,the green space south of the garage ' will be re-ordered into an open, usable,public r space--a small square--once the new Sunset Building is added facing it.
