Moved by Commissioner Sherar, seconded by Commissioner
Birts- Cooper to approve this item.
Mr. O'Donniley presented this item by explaining that this
is for the zone change from the TODD (MU -4) to the PUD -M, and
went over the summary of request from the staff's report.
After the presentation from staff, City Attorney Figueredo
swore in speakers and the Mayor opened the floor for public
hearing.
Mr. Proctor, attorney for the applicant, presented the
request. He said that they are in agreement with the staff's
recommendations; with the requirements in terms of concurrency,
including the parkland requirement; in agreement with the offer
that they made verbally at a previous meeting regarding
affordable housing and that it has been added in writing in the
Development Agreement. He then explained that the PUD -M gives
the City the opportunity to bind the development of this
property to a specific site plan; to remove the specter of an
eight -story plan; to remove the specter that is in our Code for
TODD, but not for PUD, relating to certain lot coverage
bonuses; FAR bonuses; parking below the code. He then referred
to a survey that they submitted showing a pedestrian entrance
point to the project on SW 68th Street, and the distance to the
property line and Metrorail, just south of SW 70th Street, going
along Commerce Lane; that survey substantiates that they are
within 1200 sq.ft. from Metrorail. He also said that this
project has two other entrance points, one on Red Road and one
on SW 66th Street, both of which are more than 1200 ft. from
Metrorail. He said that they comply with both the former code
and the recently amended code.
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 2
MINUTES —March 28, 2005
Cathy McCann said that she sees no rationale as to why this
density should be increased from 266 to 409. She said that the
Zoning Task Force made various recommendations which were never
enacted. She then asked the Commission to vote no on this item.
David Tucker, Sr. expressed concern with the possible
increase in traffic and the ingress and egress of the property.
He said that there will need to be a genuine concern for the
realignment of the traffic arrangement; not just the traffic
signals but also the markings.
Yvonne Beckman asked for denial of the request saying that
it sounds to her as contract zoning and that we should stick to
our rules. She said that maybe a Home Depot or a Target will
not be so bad for the City.
Mayor Russell asked Mr. O'Donniley to talk about the
revenues that this project represents to the City, at the
appropriate time this evening.
Cal Rosenbaum spoke in support of this project... inaudible...
Jay Beckman spoke on behalf of the SMHOA who endorses this
project and also for himself, and briefly went over the facts
that led up to that endorsement. The applicant has come up with
a project to implement the future land use designation that the
City has applied to this land and they have asked for a zoning
change to do that. He referred to page 17 of the Comp Plan
saying that this applicant has the right to ask for a zoning
change as long as he is compatible with the surrounding area,
and he has done so. He said that he attended every meeting
pertaining to this project and there has been no evidence given
at any of the hearings that there is a compatibility problem.
The predominant residential use on this site is compatible with
the area, particularly with the adjacent single- family
neighborhood; the building heights are proper for the area; the
buffer to the single- family residential zone is compatible and
very similar to what the residents have proposed; there will be
a decrease in peak -hour traffic; the parking is all onsite and
there is plenty of it; the site plan is well done and there is
no problem with it; this is a high quality development and it
will be an asset to the City. For all of these reasons, he
concluded, they are endorsing this project and urged the
Commission to pass the zoning change.
Sharon McCain expressed concern

with the survey saying that
She said that this project

Commissioner Sherar said that he had a problem with the
survey because of the discrepancy with the figures on this one
with respect to the previous survey. He said that the main
issue that he has is that the regulations provide that the
closest major entrance to any proposed PUD -M development shall
not be less than 1200 ft. from the Metrorail Station.
Mr. O'Donniley indicated that he believes that the point
they chose for measuring is the appropriate place to measure
it; they did not change anything to get a result. The
discussion then centered on which would be the major entrance
to the building to take the measurement.
Mr. Proctor said that when they instructed the surveyor,
they looked at the various points in the property; they looked
where pedestrians could enter the property, because the Code
says "pedestrian entry." The closest pedestrian point is
farther west, along the western end of the project, but they
decided to tell him, in an abundance of caution, to survey to
68 Street from Metrorail; survey towards the eastern part of
that building that they are proposing; survey to the where
pedestrian could enter and where there is some sort of common
pedestrian entrance to the property.
City Attorney Figueredo said, that the first issue that we
need to address is the definition of major entrance. He said
that his initial read of the Code was that the whole focal
point of this requirement is to encourage pedestrian movement;
he did not read it as the entrance to the building, but rather,
as the entrance to the overall project. He said that for this
as well as for any future projects, it is important that we
apply this interpretation uniformly.
Eric Garcia, with the applicant's team, said that their
interpretation was always that the pedestrian entry was the
side; and since the project is residential in nature, all these
buildings will be pedestrian sidewalks.
Mr. O'Donniley said that to him, the major entrance of this
project has always been the pedestrian one along 68th. He said
that to try to find other entry point is not looking at it in
its whole context. The intent is that in general, this project
be pedestrian accessible.
Mr. Proctor said that he believes that they have complied
with the ordinance as presented. He said that he believes that
they will be able to provide a major entrance.
Mayor Russell asked Counsel Figueredo whether the survey
determines that this is legally sufficient to meet the Code.
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 4
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
Counsel Figueredo said that it all depends on the
interpretation of major entrances; if you are satisfied with
the Planning Director's testimony, that in his opinion it is
geared towards providing major access to pedestrians and his
interpretation of the Code; and that the measurement of the
survey satisfies as major entrance, then you have competent,
substantial evidence in the record to make a ruling.
Commissioner Wiscombe said that he does not have any problem
with them putting a lobby entrance next to the staircase.
Mayor Russell said that any amendment should be made here
and /or on the site plan because the Development Agreement will
not be reviewed by the ERPB, just these two items.
Mr. O'Donniley said that one of the conditions is that there
has to be approval by the ERPB.
Commissioner Wiscombe said that the only problem is that
they do not sit with the ERPB and it is open to interpretation.
After a five - minute break the meeting reconvened.
Mr. Proctor, after some discussion with his team, including
the surveyor, said that they had looked at various distances,
in particular the entry point to the property that the
Commission has been discussing. The surveyor, Mr. Sosa, then
walked up to the dais to continue the discussion; he marked the
distance in pink on the survey, said that he would be willing
to put his seal on it and Commissioner Sherar said that this
should be part of the record for future reference.
Commissioner Sherar said that based on the surveyor's
representation of that point to the driveway that there are
1200 ft from the property line to the Metrorail Station, he
does not see that there is a problem. He has certified that
there are 1200 ft and that he will accept that the driveway is
a major entrance to the development.
Vice Mayor Palmer said that Mr. Proctor and his team have
made a lot of modifications and that she commends them for
their real commitment; however, from the very beginning she
stated where she stands, she said, and that she had asked
whether the project could be scaled back because she does not
think that they should have it the size they are proposing. She
said that when she ran for office, she promised that she would
encourage developments that are compatible with the whole
neighborhood of the City. She said that all the communities
that have upzoned are complaining because of the mistake they
have made. She said that she is concerned about what we are
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 5
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
giving up in terms of what we are receiving. She said that she
is not voting for 409, maybe for 309. The quality of life is
very important here and the people who live here have lived
here for a long time, and we need to preserve that. These
changes will affect the area in every aspect. If the project is
not going to be scaled back she is not going to support it.
Commissioner Sherar said that he wished that the Comp Plan
were a little clearer, and that he hopes that through the EAR
process we do that. He said that the PUD -M, as the project that
has been presented here, meets the criteria for satisfying goal
1 of the Comp Plan use plan.
To address Commissioner Sherar's concern about the unity of
title, Mr. Figueredo explained that the actual building permits
will not be issued until the unity of title is presented.
Moved by Commissioner Sherar, seconded by Mayor Russell,
the motion to table this item passed by a 4 -1 vote:
Commissioner Wiscombe: Yea
Commissioner Sherar: Yea
Vice Mayor Palmer: Nay
Commissioner Birts - Cooper: Yea
Mayor Russell: Yea
At this point Vice Mayor Palmer asked Mr. Price whether the
same question she asked Mr. Proctor before, if they would
consider rolling back the project. He said that they would like
to hear what the comments are about the Development Agreement
and then they will be able to respond better to her question.

SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 6
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
Mr. O'Donniley said that many of the changes requested by
the Commission have been addressed by the developer. Some of
the major changes were specifically relating to low income
housing where they agree to a maximum of 10 percent of the
units for moderate income.
Commissioner Wiscombe pointed out that he would like to have
that language to indicate "a requirement of 10 percent..."
Park concurrency was the other big issue, Mr. O'Donniley
continued, and the applicant agrees to a total of $838,000 in
one lump -sum upon the issuance of the first building permit
(ld). The third important issue was the ingress /egress on the
north exit (5d). There was also a Commission's request that one
stop of the shuttle be provided onsite (5e) . And, that the
parking spaces on SW 66 Street be eliminated (5q).
Mr. Proctor also mentioned the added language under the
Housing section, providing that the City shall allow minor
deviations resulting from short -term vacancies. He also
referred to an issue raised by Commissioner Sherar at the last
hearing that would construe the agreement against the
applicant, rather than mutually with the parties (19) . He also
said that with the help of the City they have drafted some
provisions that require them to hire people from within the
community while the project is being built during the period of
construction and development, which he hopes it will be within
the next 18 months; they also have a provision notifying City
residents, and the CRA area in particular, when they have bids
for construction work on the property; for maintenance; for
leasing space for the retail portion in front, and to make
their first priority to notify the residents and the potential
merchants that live in the community. He said that they have
addressed all phases, what happens while the project is being
built and what happens after it gets built.
At this point the Mayor opened the floor for public hearing.
David Tucker Sr. said that he was pleased to hear about the
traffic control changes that are possible. About work
opportunity he said that he would be willing to share his
expertise in organizing a committee to assist with the job
opportunities relating to this project.
William Hartner, a resident of Coral Gables, said that Red
Road is a historical road and modifications are not allowed;
half of that road happens to belong to the City of Coral
Gables, therefore they will also have their say in the approval
of any changes to that road. He said that according to his
experience in being involved with the City of Coral Gables in
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 7
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
projects such as this one, approximately 17,000 cars pass
through this road in the span of 24 hours.
Bob Welsh said that in reference to the $100,000 that the
applicant will be giving to the City, he said that this money
is going to come from the increase in units that they will be
building as the result of the zoning change they are
requesting. He said that he has a property on 63rd Court that he
would love to increase his units by the same factor, 50
percent. He said that the change would mean to him about
$100,000. he said that what he has not heard from Codina is
that this change is worth 168 times $100,000, which would be
about $20 million.
Sharon McCain said that this project is not comparable with
the neighborhood and that is does not meet PUD. She also said
that it will need sidewalks and that they will have to be
handicap accessible. She also submitted an article on the
project published in the Miami Herald on March 20, 2005. She
added that she believes that there will be an increase in
traffic and noise. She urged the Commission to vote against the
project.
Yvonne Beckman said that affordable housing should be
available throughout the City. She said that this seems to her
as contract zoning and urged the Commission to stick with the
current rules.
Tom Nelson, Pastor of the First United Church of South Miami
said that even though they are not exactly located in the City
they claim it as their home. He said that he looks forward with
glee at the opportunity of serving more people. He said that
the conversation tonight has been a lot about money but that
the joy of the project is that it brings people to South Miami.
Cathy McCann said that she is a little confused. She said
that they will be increasing density by more than 50 percent.
She said that even though they said that traffic will decrease
during peak hours, the common sense tells her that it will
increase all day long. She said that the City should have
published an RFP in order to have been in a better position to
negotiate as to what it is really good for the City and to see
what somebody else is willing to offer.
Cal Rosenbaum said that the Pastor who spoke earlier could
not have said it better. We are dealing with people here, and
there are more people to be served by this community, and this
project, and the Church across the street, and all other
churches and synagogues in the area.
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 8
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
Victor Dover said that he is a designer planning consultant
but he is not here in that capacity tonight and is not paid by
anyone to be here tonight. He said that he was motivated to
speak by the good things that he heard from the applicant
tonight about working with the Church on the pedestrian
improvements, and putting that in the Development Agreement. He
said that the residential development of the type that is being
discussed here is very appropriate. He then urged the
Commission to approve this project.
John E. Smith expressed concern with the site plan and said
that an interlocal agreement is needed in terms of providing
policing... inaudible...
Levy Kelly commended the applicant team for the good project
saying that it is a very good idea.
Adrian Ellis spoke in support of the development saying that
it will be beneficial not only to the immediate area which is
the CRA but to the City as a whole.
With no more speakers the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Wiscombe referred to the Vice Mayor's previous
question to the applicant with regard to density asking whether
it would be at all possible to reduce the project.
Mr. Proctor said that they cannot reduce density in the
manner that has been discussed. Commissioner Wiscombe said to
make him an offer.
Mr. Proctor said that their offer has been presented. They
have a project that complies with every aspect of our
Comprehensive Plan; has a designation of TODD which allows up
to eight stories; and the master plan says that the City should
encourage mixed use and higher density with flexible building
heights development in this area. They have about 30 percent
open space; they have a density that is barely more than half
of the Valencia project; that piece of land not only has a TODD
designation, but has a 5 -story utility substation to the west
and non - residential uses to the south; and he said that they
can only come here tonight with the City's regulations in mind.
He said that they have made concessions, they have addressed
traffic, housing, workforce, and he believes that they have
done a good job addressing those issues. They have no problem
with the Development Agreement as written, as modified by
staff, as modified by them and to address the issue with the
Church and Red Road. However, at this moment they cannot offer
anything further.
SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION 9
MINUTES - March 28, 2005
Commissioner Wiscombe said that the alternative of having a
Home Depot or Publix would be to go through the same problems
that the Grove is going through. He then asked the applicant to
give him an approximate figure on the number of jobs required
to run the project after its completion. The applicant said
that with maintenance, leasing, management, and security, it
might take about 12 -15 people full time, and there will be
other services that will be contracted out.
Mr. Proctor said that what they have heard in the community
and also from staff is that they need to link some sort of pre -
construction activity to some sort of entrepreneurial effort
after the project is built. Because the construction provides
for temporary employment, they have some sort of business
opportunity for ownership, and that is perhaps to have a
maintenance team or company to hire.
Commissioner Wiscombe then referred to the Hurricane shuttle
saying that he would like to require that students use it
during the day.
Tim Plummer said that he reviewed the University Village
traffic study for the City of Coral Gables since he is one of
their traffic consultants, and the way they went through that
process is that the University had an agreement that they would
not provide on- campus parking permits to anyone that lived at
University Village.
Commissioner Wiscombe said that he is still concerned with
the sidewalks in terms of ADA requirements; he said that is
going to be an expensive endeavor because that whole area needs
to be cleaned up and fixed in order to encourage pedestrian
traffic to Metrorail. He asked the City Manager to address this
issue.
Ms. Davis said that as a municipality, we are required to
provide ADA accessibility along main thoroughfares and if we do
not have it now, that is something that I need to look at, she
added. Mr. O'Donniley said that he has looked all along
Commerce and there is a small segment at the north end, right
before you get to the site that goes from concrete to what
looks like an asphalt pavement section; that particular place
may not be in compliance but it is a very small section.
Vice Mayor Palmer then referred to the entrepreneurial
effort discussed earlier by Mr. Proctor. She said that in order
to start a business many things are needed, starting with
capital, and for a poor person that is not so easy. She said
that even though there may be business opportunities out there,
still a lot of people will not be able to take advantage of

Commissioner Birts- Cooper said with respect to the Hurricane
shuttle that the whole idea of this project, and the Valencia,
is to be able to ride the Metrorail to UM and to use the
shuttle, and there are plenty of bus and shuttle stops on the
other side of Red Road, so it just takes a little bit of
walking.
Commissioner Wiscombe said that he is trying to encourage
the students to ride the shuttles;
Commissioner Birts- Cooper said that they have no choice
since there is very limited parking at UM. She said that she
believes that this is a wonderful project for our neighborhood;
she said that she is tired to see what is there now and that we
need to look ahead; she said that she much more prefers to see
this type of project go up next to where she lives than to see
a Publix or a Home Depot.
Commissioner Sherar said that for him is enforceability of
everybody's promises; he sees a big problem with traffic
circulation. He then asked Mr. Proctor whether DOT will have to
improve the internal lane coming out on Red Road. Mr. Proctor
said that the intention is to have a right -turn lane that goes
straight across Levante or right on Red; and a separate left -
turn bay so that people that want to go left on Red Road, at
where there will be a signal, will have a separate lane and
will not have congestion backed up on the project. Mr. Proctor
said that if they cannot get signalization at Levante there is
no project. Commissioner Sherar also expressed concern about
the noise that the project will generate. He then referred to
paragraph 25 "Third -Party Beneficiary" he said that he wants to
add that the citizens of South Miami can enforce this
agreement.
Moved by Commissioner Sherar to amend paragraph 25, page 9,
to read: This agreement is exclusively for the benefit of the
parties and the citizens of South Miami hereto and their
Affiliates and it may not be enforced by any party other than
the parties to this Agreement and the citizens of South Miami...
The motion died for lack of a second.

Moved by Commissioner Wiscombe, seconded by Vice Mayor
Palmer, the motion to extend the meeting until 11:30 p.m.
passed unanimously by acclamation.
Mayor Russell pointed out to Commissioner Sherar that "a
parking garage was being left out of the above amendment.
Mr. Proctor told Commissioner Sherar if he could try to
dissuade him from that train of thought because they have more
spaces than the Code requires. He said that they could figure
out how many spaces are required for the commercial and how
many are required for the residential, and that total is going
to be significantly less than 1,001.
Commissioner Sherar started again with the proposed
amendment as follows:

which includes a parking garage, a small surface lot, on -site
