Scurr RE: Agenda Item # City Manager Co- naming of streets -South Miami Pioneers The attached resolution seeks Commission approval for co- naming certain segments of city streets after South Miami pioneers. BACKGROUND Since its incorporation_ in 1923, the City of South Miami has been home to a number of individuals who have been an important part of the city's history and /or made significant contributions to its development. The range of these individuals' activities and involvement in the city's history varies widely. Some of these pioneers were early merchants, a few were elected officials and activists; naturally, there are a couple of outright settlers in the group as well. In their own way, each of these South Miami pioneers contributed to the development, prosperity, and charm of the town. A summary of each of these individuals' background is attached. ANALYSIS The proposed scheme would have the name of each of the pioneers placed above the street or avenue number within the street sign. These new signs would be installed on the major intersections within the boundaries of the thoroughfare. A proposal to co -name these streets will be presented to Miami -Dade County for final approval subsequent to authorization by this Commission. The attached resolution specifies the streets and boundaries corresponding to each pioneer name. The signs will be installed in different periods, the first four to be installed immediately. The City of South Miami Commission and Administration strongly believe that these pioneers should be honored and remembered. Therefore, approval of the resolution calling for the proposed street name scheme is recommended. Funding for this disbursement will come from Account No. " 001 -0000- 219 - 1130" This account currently has a balance of approximately $ 5,700.00 remaining for the fiscal year.

An applicant, Hometown Station Ltd., in conjunction with the Miami -Dade County Transit Agency, is proposing a development at the site of the South Miami Metrorail Station The subject request is in two parts: (1) a request for City approval of proposed Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Metrorail Station. These standards if adopted by the City of South Miami would be applicable to any proposed development for the station.; (2) The second part of the request is a presentation conceptual plans of a specific project for the station area by a developer, Hometown Station Ltd. The plans are for a mixed use development containing a combination of office, retail, and residential space. MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The South Miami Metrorail Station is located within a County designated Rapid Transit System Zoning District and is subject to zoning standards and permitting procedures specified in Chapter 33C of the Miami -Dade County Code. ( see Attachment "A") These regulations also specify that development standards (including allowable land uses) are to be prepared jointly by the County and the City for any Rapid Transit Zone which is within a municipality. The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone was prepared by the developer Hometown Station Ltd. and submitted to Public Hearing Hometown Station May 7, 2002 Page 2 the Miami -Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee, which was made up of City and County representatives. The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone are enclosed as attachment to this report ( see Attachment "B "). This document includes a cover letter from the County Manager, the recommendation of the County Impact Committee (pp. 1,2) and the specific standards (pp. 2 -7). The development standards includes sections on purpose, boundaries, existing uses,definitions, development areas, development regulations, building height, permitted uses, architectural details, open space landscaping, signage and site plan review criteria. 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 anal Surrounding Parcels 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 59th 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 59th Place and SW 70t" 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.

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. Public Hearing Hometown Station May 7, 2002 Page 3 Area "C" is the area above the existing triangular garage. 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`" Place and SW 70'h 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 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.

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 3 3 C (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 �R ri BILZIN SUMBERG DUNN BAENA PRICE & AXELR ®D LLP March 29, 2002 Page t 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 comer of SW 70t" 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 BILZIN SUMBERG DUNN BAENA PRICE & AXELROD LLP March 29, 2002 Page 3 weekend times.

Legislative intent, findings and purposes. The Board of County Commissioners for Miami - Dade County, Florida, hereby declares and finds that the uncoordinated use of lands within the County threatens the orderly development and the health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and welfare of the present and fixture citizens of this County. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 75 -22, the Board adopted and accepted the Comprehen- sive Development Master Plan for Miami -Dade County whereby it specifically declared that it was the continuing policy of Miami -Dade County, in cooperation with federal, State, regional and local governments, and other concerned public and private organizations, to use all reasonable means and measures to: (a) Foster and promote the general welfare; (b) To create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in pro- ductive harmony; and (c) To fill the social, economic and other re- quirements of the present and future gen- erations of citizens of Miami -Dade County, Florida. The board further found that the Comprehensive Development Master Plan was enacted to assure for all people of Miami -Dade County an attempt to create safe,, healthful, productive and aesthet- ically and culturally pleasing surroundings; to attain the widest range of beneficial uses of the environment without unreasonable degradation, risk to the health or safety, or other undesirable and unintended consequences, to preserve impor- tant historic, cultural and natural aspects of our national heritage; to maintain, wherever possible, an environment which supports diversity and variety of individual choice; to achieve a balance between population and resources which will per- mit the high standards of living and a wide sharing of life's amenities, and to enhance the quality of renewal resources and approach the maximum attainable recycling of depletable re- sources. In furtherance of these goals and objec- tives, the Board finds that the coordinated review and analysis of its mass transit facilities is nec- essary to carry on a central metropolitan govern- Supp. No. 24 5669 a 33C -2 ment in Miami -Dade County, Florida. Coordi- nated review and analysis of the mass transit system is susceptible to, and would be most effec- tively carried on, under a uniform plan of regula- tion applicable to the County as a whole. The planning of major transportation facilities, com- bined with other plan implementation tools, can be effectively used in meeting social, economic and environmental needs and in creating a major influence on metropolitan development patterns and life styles. The capability of a transportation network. acting in conjunction with other urban services to establish general' development trends, is well recognized. A maximum coordination of transportation and land use policy decisions is therefore essential to optimize the role of trans- portation as a potent tool for implementing the desired patterns of metropolitan development. The Board further finds that the Stage I Fixed - Guideway Rapid Transit System has', since 1973, undergone extensive planning, review, analysis, and engineering design efforts. The :Stage I Sys- tem has received design approval from both the federal and State governments and is in the process of final design, procurement and construc- tion activities. The Stage I System, including proposed improvements in other forms of surface transportation facilities, represents a concerted, coordinated effort to improve not only the trans- portation facilities within Miami-Dade County, but the overall quality of life enjoyed by citizens of and visitors to Miami-Dade County. Finally, the Stage I System represents one (1) of the largest public works projects ever undertaken in Miami- Dade County and the Southeastern United States. As such, the Stage I Fixed - Guideway Rapid Tran- sit System may only be planned, engineered, implemented, and administered on a County- wide basis, in a manner which will: (a) Provide maximum opportunities for devel- opment to serve as financial assistance to the system; and (b) Provide incentives for joint development with the private sector.

Whenever County office develop- ment is proposed for that portion of the Rapid Transit Zone surrounding the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, the di- rectors of the Departments of Planning and Zoning, the Miami -Dade Transit Agency and the department proposing the development shall develop proposed mas- ter plan development standards for such proposed uses. The standards shall con- tain, at a minimum: (a) maximum height of the building; (b) maximum floor area ratio; (c) maximum parking provided; (d) minimum open space; (e) minimum set- backs from property lines; (f) gross and net land area; (g) criteria for pedestrian` and vehicular circulation systems (h) signage criteria; (i) criteria for parking layouts and drives; and 0) features dem- onstrating conformity with the guidelines for development of urban centers con- tained in the Comprehensive Develop - ment Master Plan, conformity with the' Miami -Dade County Urban Design Man- ual, and consistency with the Metrorail Compendium of Design Criteria. Upon the consent of the county manager, the proposed standards shall be submitted to the affected municipality's governing board for review and approval. In reviewing the standards, the munici- pality shall consider the type of function involved, the public need therefor, the existing land use pattern in the area and the nature of the impact of the facility on the surrounding property. The municipal governing board shall have the power to approve or reject the standards, but shall not modify the standards as submitted. Unless extended by agreement with the County Manager, failure of the municipal governing` board to reach a final decision on the proposed development standards within 60 days after receipt of the stan- dards may be deemed by the County to be a lack of objection to the standards as proposed.

The purpose of the site plan review is to encour- age logic, imagination and variety in the design process in an attempt to insure the congruity of the proposed development and its compatibility with the surrounding area. The following site plan review standards and criteria shall be uti- lized as a guide by the Developmental Impact Committee or the Department of Planning and Zoning and by the Board of County Commission- ers in the consideration of requests for special exception for site plan approvals within the MLK Corridor Subzone: (a) All development shall conform foremost with the guidelines for development of Urban Centers contained in the Compre- hensive Development Master Plan, and shall be reviewed for its compatibility with the Miami -Dade County Urban De- sign Manual, the Metrorail compendium of design criteria, and, as applicable, the Brownsville Station. Area design and de- velopment plan, the Northsid.e Station. Area design and development plan and the Dr.' Martin Luther King, Jr. Station Area Design and Development Plan. (b) Mixed, twenty- four -hour activity uses should be encouraged to be incorporated into the design of development projects. (c) Setbacks may not be required due to the unique locational characteristics associ- ated with the MLK Corridor Subzone site; however, building locations shall be re- viewed to assure compatibility with sur- rounding existing, proposed, and antici- pated development and uses and to assure that no visual or other safety hazards are created in connection with existing, pro- posed, and anticipated pedestrian and ve- hicular circulation systems. (d) Pedestrian open space, in the form of plazas; arcades, courtyards, landscaped areas, etc., particularly at the level of the station, with convenient connections be- tween the station and restaurants, the- atres, retail uses, etc., so as to provide 33C -7 easy access thereto, should be encouraged to be incorporated into the design of all development projects. (e) The scale of all development projects should be designed to be compatible with sur- rounding existing, proposed, and antic'- pated development and uses, and, therein, step -down buildings may be encouraged to be incorporated into the design of the project, and all development should be architecturally and aesthetically compat- ible with the station and enhance the surrounding area. (f) Open space and landscaping should be incorporated into the design of all devel- opment projects to allow sufficient light and air to penetrate the project, to direct wind: movements, to shade and cool, to visually enhance architectural features and relate the structure design to the site, and to functionally, enhance the projects; outdoor graphics and exterior art displays and water features should be encouraged to be designed as an integral part of the open space and landscaped areas. (g) All development projects' should be de- signed ,so as to reduce energy,consump- tion. Energy conservation methods may include, but not be limited to, the natural ventilation of structures, the siting of struc- tures in relation to prevailing breezes and sun angles, and the provision of landscap- ing for shade and transpiration. (h) All development projects should be de- signed so that the pedestrian and vehicu- lar circulation systems adequately serve the needs of the project and are compati- ble and functional with the circulation systems exterior to the site. G) All development projects ` should be de- signed with a coordinated outdoor light - ing and signage system that is adequate for and an integral part of the project and that is compatible and harmonious with the project and the surrounding area.

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 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 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 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 701h 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.

South Miami was recently named an All- America City by the National Civic a 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. US Post Office ' xx - Arcade, Storefronts, & Live!

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 - friendly approach is key to promoting the next generation of transit ridership growth and 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. .

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. Prima access to the site is via two existing driveways. One driveway is located on SW ' Primary 9 ys Y 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 speck 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 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.

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 l 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. These trips are the total number of vehicular trips generated by the project before adjusting for internal trips and pedestrian and mass transit trips. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

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.

Manager REQUEST Date: May 7, 2002 Re: Agenda Item 4z Miccosukee Tribe :of Indians of Florida A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE, OF INDIANS OF FLORIDA; REQUESTING THE FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE TO SUPPORT A SENATE BILL WHICH WOULD CLARIFY THE APPLICATION OF P.L. 280 ON MICCOSUKEE TRIBAL TRUST LAND AS DETERMINED BY THE COURTS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The attached resolution sponsored by Mayor Robaina requesting the Florida State Legislature to support a Senate Bill, which would clarify the application of P.L. 280 on Miccosukee Tribal Trust Land as determined by the Courts. Public Law 83 -280 (P.L. 280) is a federal law passed in 1953, which decreed that criminal and civil cases involving Indians in certain states are to be adjudicated in their respective state court system and allowed for other states to adopt wholly or in part jurisdiction over Indians. The State of Florida in 1961 adopted P.L. 280 to assume full jurisdiction over Indians and amended the Florida State Statutes under Chapter 285.16 to assert their jurisdiction without consulting the Miccosukee Tribe; and The Miccosukee Tribe never agreed to submit to P.L. 280 or to Florida State Statutes Chapter 285.16. The Miccosukee Tribe filed a lawsuit against the State of Florida after the State of Florida adopted P.L. 280 to take away the trusteeship of the Miccosukee State Indian Reservation from the State of Florida to the Federal Government due to the State of Florida not providing services to the Tribe, such as law enforcement, and for authorizing leases and contracts which benefited the State of Florida and not necessarily the Miccosukee Tribe.

Keller George, President United South and Eastern Tribes, Inc_ Beverly Wright, Secretary �0'd 60 :ZZ Z0, �Z .add 0NI NdW33dJ SIM3� Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of florida Cy�CK E SIC A GLIMPSE AT THE MICCOSUKEE TRIBE OF INDIANS OF FLORI. TWELVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Who are the the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida? The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has a unique history. The Miccosukees were-a distinct independent, self-governing community in this country long before the Europeans arrived. They were once part of the Creek confederacy, an association of clan villages that lived along a creek, or river, in. areas now known as Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida - always hunting and fishing throughout Florida. The villages shared legends, religious practices, festivals and traded Nvith one another. The Miccosukees lived in the lower Creek region and spoke a language called Eelaponke, which means plain words. Living by hunting, fishing and growing crops (especially corn,), the Miccosukees had become familiar with South Florida through their hunting expeditions. In the early 1700's, as the European settlers encroached on their territory and the Miccosukees migrated to northern Florida and established permanent settlements and towns. In the early 1800s, they were forced farther south when settlers, soldiers, and slave traders attacked and burned their towns. 2. Why are the Miccosukee Indians called the undefeated? In 1821, when Spain sold Florida to the United States, the government recognized the rights of the Indians over much of the land in the peninsula. After attempts to seize Indian land by fraudulent treaty failed, the Miccosukees became a target of the government's 1830 Indian Removal Policy in which the U.S. tried to. forcibly remove all Indians from the southeast and move them out west. The Miccosukees refused to go, resulting in the Second Seminole War that lasted from 1835 -1842. During the Second and Third Seminole "Wars, the Miccosukees escaped deportation and death by hiding out in the Everglades. In his book, Indian Remoyul, Grant foreman criticized the government's treatment of the Florida Indians who had all been given the name Seminole by non - Indians: In the dishonorable record of our dealing with the Indians there is perhaps no Blacker chapter than that relating to the Seminole fMiccosukeej people. Present Tribal members are descendants of some 50 Miccosukees who evaded death and capture in this black chapter of history and are often called the undefeated. b0 'd OT : ZT ZO, 2Z .add 9MVVVS0i: XPJ ONI NdW33dd SIM3� 3. How did the Mieaosukees survive in the Everglades? The Everglades was once considered a worthless swamp - but to the Miccosukees it was a Garden of Eden. Living in small groups in temporary hammock style camps spread through the Everglades, Ivliccosukees used dugout canoes to traverse the watery wilderness. The Indians continued to hunt and fish in: the Everglades, as they had always done, and learned to harvest the native fruits of the hammocks, while the corn important to Tribal customs became more difficult to grow. They took only what they needed from nature and no more. Life was a struggle, but the Breathmaker had provided them with abundant food, and the Miccosukees survived and prospered in the Everglades. 4. How has the outside world impacted the Miccosukee way of life? Some Miccosukees had traveled to town by dugout canoe to trade with settlers, but it wasn't until J the 1900's that the isolated, self - reliant Indian community was thrust into the twentieth century. As real estate booms turned Miami into a metropolis, Tarniami Trail was built through the formerly impenetrable Indian land cutting their hunting ground in half. The lands that were once the Niiccosukees to roam and hunt were now open to non - Indians and, in some cases, eliminated from their use. Sadly, roads and canals, dug through the Everglades for drainage, cut off the natural flow to the Everglades River of Life that supported, their wildlife, culture, and way of life. 5. When did. the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida become federally recognized ? As the outside world encroached on the Miccosukees, Tribal leaders sought ways to protect their people for the future. In the early 1960s, the Miccosukee people decided to organize under a constitution and by -laws, so that they could gain government recognition. Always a distinct Tribe with its own language and culture, they did not become federally recognized as a political -legal entity by the U.S. government until January 11, 1962, The Miccosukee Tribe is a sovereign government that determines its own fate. Their self - determination is respected and encouraged by the U.S. government. The Tribe became one of the first in the country to sign a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to operate their own programs and services. The Tribe administers its own schools, health, social service and law enforcement departments and court. Tribal programs incorporate both the traditional Indian way and non - Indian way into their system. 6. How does the Miccosukee Tribal government wont? The present day Miccosukee Tribe is a combination of traditional Tribal government, according to Tribal customs and traditions, and modem management. The Tribe has a constitution and by -laws, and Tribal authority is vested in the Miccosukee General Council, which is comprised of adult members eighteen years of age or older. The General Council deals with matters relating to membership, tribal government, law and order, education, welfare, recreation and fiscal disbursement. The officers of the General Council, called the Business Council, consist of a Chairrn.an, Assistant Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and Lawmaker, who are elected and hold office for a four year term. The Business Council is responsible for the development and management of resources and the day - today business. The Miccosukee Tribe has 492 members. Tribal membership is, open to those 18 years of age or older who have at least one -half Miccosukee Indian blood. SO'd OT :ZT Z0, 2Z jdH 91VSVVVSOi :XPj ONI NHW33d3 SIM3� y A 7. Where does the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians live? The Miccosukee Tribe is the only group of people who actually live in the Florida Everglades, Both the Evrzglades and the Big Cypress are considered the traditional homeland of the Miccosiikees, and they'continue to use these areas in the traditional way. Many Tribal members now live on a 666 acre strip of land on the border of the 1.5 million acre Everglades National Park, which is their traditional homeland. This Miccosukee Reserved Area is located 40 miles west of Miami in the middle of the Everglades. In addition, the Miccosukee Service Area is composed of Tribal members and their families, independent Miccosukees, Seminoles and other Indian families who reside along the Tamiami Trail from Miami to Naples. The Tribe also has an Alligator Alley Reservation comprised of 74;81237 acres of mostly undeveloped Everglades located west of Ft. Lauderdale and south of Highway 84. The 25.92 acre Krome Avenue Reservation, which is outside the Everglades, is the site of the Miccosukee Resort and Indian Gaming facility and the Miccosukee Tobacco Shop. The Miccosukee also have 189,000 acres of Everglades on a perpetual lease from the State of Florida that the government promised to keep in its natural state for the benefit and use of the Tribe. 8. How does the Miccosukee Tribe preserve its culture? While adapting to new ways, the Miccosukees have always managed to retain their own culture and traditional ways. The Miccosukees have kept their language, medicine and clans. Some Miccosukees even prefer-to live in traditional chickees rather than the modem housing that is available. To renew their identity, they celebrate their sacred Green Corn Dance each spring. To acquaint their non - Indian neighbors with Miccosukee culture, the Tribe developed the Miccosukee Indian Village - an authentic family camp that existed before Tamiami Trail was built. The Miccosukee way is best reflected in its red, yellow, black and white flag colors which represent the circle of life. Miccosukees view the whole universe spinning slowly in a circle like logs of a ceremonial fire. What was, will be, and will cease to be again. 9. What does the Miccosukee Tribe do to protect their Everglades homeland? The. Tribe refers to the Everglades as Our Mother. The Miccosukees believe that the land is central to their existence, and they rely on Mother Nature to take care of many things. They say that, the, Everglades protected them when they were fleeing from government soldiers, and now it is their duty to protect the Everglades. The Tribe has invested substantial resources, and used its sovereign status, to protect their traditional Everglades homeland. They have waged numerous battles in court 0 stop the destruction of the Everglades and its wildlife, and have won important Clean Water Act rulings that benefit everybody. The Tribe has even used its unique status that allows them to be treated like a state under EPA. regulations, to establish Tribal water quality standards for thousands of acres of Everglades in federal reservation status that are more protective of the Everglades than the state of Florida's regulations. 9 0 'd OI:Zti Z0, 2,7 .add 9iVSbbbS0i:Xp3 3NI NdW33d3 SIM31 10. Why does the Miccosukee Tribe say that its history is one of broken promises? The Miccosukees, like other Indian Tribes, have survived government policies of Indian Removal and Termination. After evading forced removal from Florida in the 1884s, they were left in the Everglades .because nobody wanted it. In 1917,'-the government -set aside 99,400 acres of Everglades in the Monroe County Reservation that was to belong to the Indians in perpetuity. Perpetuity ended in 1934 when the government took the land and incorporated it into Everglades National Park. And, even-though Congress had recognized the rights of the Miccosukee to continue to live in the Park, this was not respected by agencies who continuously tried to remove them. In 1998, after a long struggle by the Tribe, Congress passed the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act that clarified the Tribe's right to live in their traditional homeland in the Park. The government has also signed a contract with the Tribe to keep hundreds of thousands of acres of Tribal Everglades lands in their natural state in perpetuity for the use and benefit of the Tribe, but is allowing these lands to be destroyed. 11. What laws apply to the Miccosukee Tribe? Indian Tribes, long considered by the courts as a people distinct from others, have always had a unique status that is not well understood. In 1831, Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall observed in C erokee Nation v. Cret�ia that, The relation of the Indians to the United States is marked by peculiar and cardinal distinctions which exist nowhere else. The Miccosukee Tribe is considered a sovereign • -- it is not a political subdivision of the federal government or the state. The Miccosukees were an independent, self- governing society long before the European governments of Spain, Great Britain and France recognized their rights of possession. Today, U.S. Government policy recognizes, and protects, the separate status for Indian Tribes in Indian Country. The Supreme Court has determined that Indian Tribes are domestic sovereigns with the right to self - government, and the right to pass laws and be governed by them. The Miccosukee Tribe governs its own affairs through its Tribal; customs and Tribal laws. The Miccosukees resolve issues Indian to. Indian in a traditional way, as they have for centuries. The Tribe has its own constitution and governing body and enforces its laws in a Tribal court system. Only federal laws apply to Indians in Indian Country, as Congress has the sole power to deal with them. The state has no jurisdiction over the Miccosukee Tribe or its Indian reservation. Non - Indian criminal violations on Tribal lands are turned over to the "state and federal government. 12 What does the Miccosukee Tribe want? The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians just want to be who they are. The Miccosukees want to be left alone to live in peace in their Everglades homeland, according to their own long established Tribal customs and traditions. They want to continue to be self-reliant and self- sufficient. They want to protect and preserve their natural resources. They want the government, which has a solemn trust responsibility to protect their Everglades land, to uphold that trust responsibility and follow the law. They want to work with, and understand, their non - Indian neighbors while preserving their traditional lifestyle. They want the government to respect their sovereignty and right to self - determination; and to deal with the Miccosukee Tribe on a government -to- government basis. Most of all, the Miccosukees want to preserve their traditional culture and way of life, so that they can continue to live in spiritual harmony with nature, as they have for centuries.

Reservations. This would treat the Miccosukee Reservations as other Indian Reservations are treated in the overwhelming majority ofstates, and would relieve the State of Florida of the costs of civil and criminal law enforcement on Miccosukee Reservations. The Miccosukee Reservations would not be "lawless ", but instead would be controlled by federal laws, as are Indian Reservations in most states; and the bill would not affect Indian gaming regulation. Federal courts would try criminal offenses, and federal courts would apply laws similar to Florida criminal laws in criminal prosecutions, so all Floridians would still be fully protected. TALUNG POINTS (1) * ** Governmental relations with Indian Tribes is an exclusively federal sphere under the U.S. Constitution, with Congress (not the states) having exclusive plenary power over government relations with Indian Tribes. (2) * ** Indian reservations always had federal criminal laws applied to them, and federal law adopts state criminal laws in order to arrest and prosecute criminal offenses on Indian Reservations in federal court, under the federal responsibility for relations with Indians. (3) * ** But for a short time (1953 -68), a "termination movement" developed to try to eliminate Indian. Tribes and their Reservations, which was later recognized to be a serious policy mistake, and which was repudiated by President Richard Nixon and the U.S. Congress. (4) * ** During the brief "termination movement ", Congress znandatorily applied state criminal and civil laws on Indian Reservations in a few named states, and authorized other states to apply state cz'minal and civil laws on Indian Reservations without the agreements of the Indian Tribes (Public Law 83 -280, know as "PL 280 ", adopted in 1953).

Who are the the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida? The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has a unique history. The Miccosukees were a distinct independent, self-governing community in this country long before the Europeans arrived. They were once part of the Creek confederacy, an association of clan villages that lived along a creek, or river, in areas now known as Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida - always hunting and fishing throughout Florida. The villages shared legends, religious practices, festivals and traded with one another. The Miccosukees lived in the lower Creek region and spoke a language called Eelaponke, which means plain words. Living by hunting, fishing and growing crops (especially com), the Miccosukees had become familiar with South Florida through their hunting expeditions. In the early 1700's, as the European settlers encroached on their territory and the Miccosukees migrated to northern Florida and established permanent settlements and towns. In the early 1800s, they were forced farther south when settlers, soldiers, and slave traders attacked and burned their towns. 2. Why are the Miccosukee Indians called the undefeated? In 1821, when Spain sold Florida to the United States, the government recognized the rights of the Indians over much of the land in the peninsula. After attempts to seize Indian land by fraudulent treaty failed, the Miccosukees became a target of the government's 1830 Indian Removal Policy in which the U.S. tried to forcibly remove all Indians from the southeast and move them out west. The Miccosukees refused to go, resulting in the Second Seminole War that lasted from 1835 -1842. During the Second and Third Seminole Wars, the Miccosukees escaped deportation and death by hiding out in the Everglades. In his book, Indian Removal, Grant Foreman criticized the government's treatment of the Florida Indians who had all been given the name Seminole by non- Indians: In the dishonorable record of our dealing with the Indians there is perhaps no blacker chapter than that relating to the Seminole [Miccosukee] people. Present Tribal members are descendants of some 50 Miccosukees who evaded death and capture in this black chapter of history and are often called the undefeated 3. How did the Miccosukees survive in the Everglades? The Everglades was once considered a worthless swamp- but to the Miccosukees it was a Garden of Eden. Living in small groups in temporary hammock style camps spread through the Everglades,. Miccosukees used dugout canoes to traverse the watery wilderness. The Indians continued to hunt and fish in the Everglades, as they had always done, and learned to harvest the native fruits of the hammocks, while the com important to Tribal customs became more difficult to grow. They took only what they needed from nature and no more. Life was a struggle, but the Breathmaker had provided them with abundant food, and the Miccosukees survived and prospered in the Everglades. r 4. How has the outside world impacted the Miccosukee way of life? Some Miccosukees had traveled to town by dugout canoe to trade with settlers, but it wasn't until the 1900's that the isolated, self - reliant Indian community was thrust into the twentieth century. As real estate booms turned Miami into a metropolis, Tamiami Trail was built through the formerly impenetrable Indian land cutting their hunting ground in half. The lands that were once the Miccosukees to roam and hunt were now open to non - Indians and, in some cases, eliminated from their use. Sadly, roads and canals, dug through the Everglades for drainage, cut off the natural flow to the Everglades River of Life that supported. their wildlife, culture, and way of life. S. When did the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida become federally recognized ? As the outside world encroached on the Miccosukees, Tribal leaders sought ways. to protect their people for the future. In the early 1960s, the Miccosukee people decided to organize under a constitution and by -laws, so that they could gain government recognition. Always a distinct Tribe with its own language and culture, they did not become federally recognized as a political -legal entity by the U.S. government until January 11, 1962. The Miccosukee Tribe is a sovereign government that determines its own fate. Their self - determination is respected and encouraged by the U.S. government. The Tribe became one of the first in the country to sign a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to operate their own programs and services. The Tribe administers its own schools, health, social service and law enforcement departments and court. Tribal programs incorporate both the traditional Indian way and non- Indian way into their system. 6. How does the Miccosukee Tribal government work? The present day Miccosukee Tribe is a combination of traditional Tribal government, according to Tribal customs and traditions, and modem management. The Tribe has a constitution and by -laws, and Tribal authority is vested in the Miccosukee General Council, which is comprised of adult members eighteen years of age or older. The General Council deals with matters relating to membership, tribal government, law and order, education, welfare, recreation and fiscal disbursement. The officers of the General Council, called the Business Council, consist of a Chairman, Assistant Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and Lawmaker, who are elected and hold office for a four year term. The Business Council is responsible for the development and management of resources and the day -to -day business. The Miccosukee Tribe has 492 members. Tribal membership is open to those, 18 years of age or older who have at least one -half Miccosukee Indian blood. 7. Where does the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians live? The Miccosukee Tribe is the only group of people who actually live in the Florida Everglades. Both the Everglades and the Big Cypress are considered the traditional homeland of the Miccosukees, and they continue to use these areas in the traditional way. Many Tribal members now live on a 666 acre strip of land on the border of the 1.5 million acre Everglades National Park, which is their traditional homeland. This Miccosukee Reserved Area is located 40 miles west of Miami in the middle of. the Everglades. In addition,' the Miccosukee Service Area is composed of Tribal members and teir families, independent Miccosukees, Seminoles and other Indian families who reside along the Tamiami Trail from Miami to Naples. The Tribe also has an Alligator Alley Reservation comprised of 74,812.37 acres of mostly undeveloped Everglades located west of Ft. Lauderdale and south of Highway 84. The 25.92 acre Krome Avenue Reservation, which is outside the Everglades, is the site of the Miccosukee Resort and Indian Gaming facility and the Miccosukee Tobacco Shop. The Miccosukee also have 189,000 acres of Everglades on a perpetual lease from the State of Florida that the government promised to keep in its natural state for the benefit and use of the Tribe. 8. How does the Miccosukee Tribe preserve its culture? While adapting to new ways, the Miccosukees have always managed to retain their own culture and traditional ways. The Miccosukees have kept their language, medicine and clans. Some Miccosukees even prefer to live in traditional chickees rather than the modem housing that is available. To renew. their identity, they celebrate their sacred Green Corn Dance each spring. To acquaint their non -Indian neighbors with Miccosukee, culture, the Tribe developed the Miccosukee Indian Village - an authentic family camp that existed before Tamiami Trail was built. The Miccosukee way is best reflected in its red, yellow, black and white flag colors which represent the circle of life. Miccosukees view the whole universe spinning slowly in a circle like logs of a ceremonial fire. What was, will be, and will cease to be again. 9. What does the Miccosukee Tribe do to protect their Everglades homeland? The. Tribe refers to the Everglades as Our Mother. The Miccosukees believe that the land is central to their existence, and they rely on Mother Nature to take care of many things. They say that the Everglades protected them when they were fleeing from government soldiers, and now it is their duty to protect the Everglades. The Tribe has invested substantial resources, and used its sovereign status, to protect their traditional Everglades homeland. They have waged numerous battles in court to stop the destruction of the Everglades and its wildlife, and have won important Clean Water Act rulings that benefit everybody. The Tribe has even used its unique status that allows them to be treated like a state under EPA regulations, to establish Tribal water quality standards for thousands of acres of Everglades in federal reservation status that are more protective of the Everglades than the state of Florida's regulations. J 10. Why does the Miccosukee Tribe say that its history is one of broken promises? The Miccosukees, like other Indian Tribes, have survived government policies of Indian Removal and Termination. After evading forced removal from Florida in the 1880s, they were left in the . Everglades. because nobody wanted it. In 1917, the government set aside 99,400 acres of Everglades in the Monroe County Reservation that was to belong to the Indians in perpetuity. Perpetuity ended- in 1934 when the government took the land and incorporated it into Everglades National Park. And, even-though Congress had recognized the rights of the Miccosukee to continue to live in the Park, this was not respected by agencies who continuously tried to remove there. In 1998, after a long " struggle by the Tribe, Congress passed the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act that clarified the Tribe's right to live in their traditional homeland in the Park. The government has also signed a contract with the Tribe to keep hundreds of thousands of acres of Tribal Everglades lands in their natural state in perpetuity for the use and benefit of the Tribe, but is allowing these lands to be destroyed. 11. What laws apply to the Miccosukee Tribe? Indian Tribes, long considered by the courts as a people distinct from others, have always had a unique status that is not well understood. In 1831, Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall observed in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia that, The relation of the Indians to the United States is marked by peculiar and cardinal distinctions which exist nowhere else. The Miccosukee Tribe is considered a sovereign - -- it is not a political subdivision of the federal government or the state. The Miccosukees were an independent, self - governing society long before the European governments of Spain, Great Britain and France recognized their rights of possession. Today, U.S. Government policy recognizes, and protects, the separate status for Indian Tribes in Indian Country. The Supreme Court has determined that Indian Tribes are domestic sovereigns with the right to self - government, and the right to pass laws and be governed by them. The Miccosukee Tribe governs its own affairs through its Tribal customs and Tribal laws. The Miccosukees resolve issues Indian to Indian in a traditional way, as they have for centuries. The Tribe has its own constitution and governing body and enforces its laws in a Tribal court system. Only federal laws apply to Indians in Indian Country, as Congress has the sole power to deal with them. The state has no jurisdiction over the Miccosukee Tribe or its Indian reservation. None - Indian criminal violations on Tribal lands are turned over to the state and federal government. 12. What does the Miccosukee Tribe want? The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians just want to be who they are. The Miccosukees want to be left alone to live in peace in their Everglades homeland, according to their own long established Tribal customs and traditions. They want to continue to be self-reliant and self - sufficient. They want to protect and preserve their natural resources. They want the government, which has a solemn trust responsibility to protect their Everglades land, to uphold that trust responsibility and follow the law. They want to work with, and understand, their non - Indian neighbors while preserving their traditional lifestyle. They want the government to respect their sovereignty and right to self determination, and to deal with the Miccosukee Tribe on a government -to- government basis. Most of all, the Miccosukees want to preserve their traditional culture and way of life, so that they can continue to live in spiritual harmony with nature, as they have for centuries.

Clark Center 111 N.W. First Street, Suite 2910 Miami, FL 33128 -1994 Re: Request for reconfiguration of S.W. 62nd Avenue: Dear Mayor Penelas: The City of South Miami would like to formally request that the roadway width of S.W. 62nd Avenue, between S.W. 70th Street and S.W. 64th Street, be reconfigured from five lanes to two lanes. In 1983, Miami -Dade County acquired the right -of -way along this portion of 62nd Avenue and widened the roadway from two travel lanes to five travel lanes (two lanes in each direction and a center turn lane). Subsequently, the properties along this corridor have been in decline, many vacant lots exist, and no new development has been undertaken. The corridor is not aesthetically pleasing and needs asolution in order to help foster new development. In 1994, this segment of road was the subject of study during the City's Hometown Too Charrette, which brought together segments of the community, including residents, business owners, property owners, government staff and others, in order to explore options for improving the previously neglected area north of USL One of the Charrette's recommendations was to restore 62nd Avenue back to two lanes along this stretch. The Charrette calls for 2 lanes of traffic, 2 lanes of parallel parking, and a landscaped median strip.. Widened sidewalks and street landscaping are also prescribed. The City of South Miami believes that the widened roadway may not be necessary north of 70th Street, between 70th Street and 64th Street. This area of the City would be better served by a landscaped roadway, with wider sidewalks, 9arallel parking, and two travel lanes. The widened roadway currently existing south of S.W. 70 Street is adequate for Metrorail and USl traffic. The City has been exploring ways of working with the County to address local government priorities with respect to neighborhood traffic issues. In keeping with pedestrian friendly planning concepts and our citizen - oriented approach to neighborhood traffic issues, at this time, we would request that we begin discussions with the County regarding the possible reconfiguration of the 62nd Avenue roadway width.

ATTEST: CITY CLERK READ AND APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY ATTORNEY APPROVED: MAYOR Commission Vote: Mayor Robaina: Vice Mayor Russell: Commissioner Bethel: Commissioner Feliu: Commissioner Wiscombe: To: Mayor and City Comm'n. Charles Scurf, City Manager Richard Lorber, Planning Dir. From: Earl G. Gallop Date: May 3, 2002 Re: Proposed zoning moratorium ordinance Subject: An ordinance halting further re- zonings in the city. Discussion: Comm'r. Feliu requested a zoning moratorium ordinance to give the city an opportunity to consider and deliberate the need for amendments to the city's comprehensive plan and land development code addressing the subjects of building height, density, intensity and buffering of uses in and adjacent to the Hometown I and Hometown II Districts. If enacted, the moratorium would last until the earlier of one year from the effective date of the ordinance or the final adoption of amendments to the city's comprehensive plan and, or land development code. The city would not accept or process applications after May 3, 2002. It does not apply to the pending application for re- zoning by Mr. Miller. The city has the legal authority to enact a zoning moratorium for a limited duration for the specific purpose of studying the desirability of amending its comprehensive plan and land development code. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided in Tahoe - Sierra Preservation Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 2002 WL 654431 (2002) that the enactment of an otherwise valid moratorium does not, in and of itself, constitute a taking of private property without just compensation.
