CITY OF "ENTURA
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA -CM, Cit a r
DATE: January 10, 2012
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing an Inc as
Aventura City of Excellence Schoo
in Student Enrollment at the
February 7, 2012 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 5- G
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission acting in its capacity as the Governing
Board of Aventura City of Excellence School (ACES) adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing the enrollment of the school to be increased from 972 to 1032 students over
the next four years.
BACKGROUND
As previously advised last year, ACES qualified as a high - performing charter school
under sections 1002.331 and 1002.332 of the Florida Statues. A high - performing
charter school is defined as a school that has met each of the following criteria:
1. Received at least two school grades of "A" and no school grade below "B" for
the last three years.
2. Received an unqualified opinion on each annual audit in the most recent three
years for which such audits are available.
3. Did not receive a financial audit that revealed one or more of the financial
emergency conditions set forth in s. 218.503, F.S., in the most three recent
fiscal years for which audits are available.
The following is the benefits for ACES to be recognized as a high - performing charter
school:
• Increase its student enrollment once per school year by up to 15% more than
the capacity identified in the charter without School Board approval.
• Submit quarterly rather than monthly financial statements to the sponsor.
Based on recent discussions with ACES Principal and careful consideration, it was
determined that it is in best interest of the school and its educational programs to
Memo to City Commission
Page 2
increase the fourth grade by twelve (12) students beginning in the 2012/13 school year.
As the additional students move up in grade, this will also increase each grade by
twelve (12) students over the next four years. This will increases the school capacity as
follows:
Year School Enrollment Class Increase
2012/13
984
Fourth Grade -12
2013/14
996
Fifth Grade - 12
2014/15
1008
Sixth Grade - 12
2015/16
1020
Seventh Grade - 12
2016/17
1032
Eighth Grade - 12
For the 2012 — 2013 school year ACES will request that the capacity enrollment be
increased from 972 to 984. The additional students will increase the enrollment at fourth
through eighth grade over the next five years from 108 to 120 students. The revenue
generated by the additional students in the first year would be approximately $72,000.
This amount would offset the cost one additional teacher and supplies for the students.
This additional teacher will make it possible to departmentalize the fourth grade team.
Departmentalizing allows teachers to focus on one to two content areas with
specialization. This enables them to become experts in their content area rather than
generalist teaching all subjects. The Next Generation Sunshine State Standards being
assessed this year in reading, math and science require an increased depth of
knowledge. Additionally next year the FCAT Writes for fourth grade will require students
to meet additional standards. Specific scoring rubrics are being developed by the
Florida Department of Education. The rubrics will be customized to evaluate the writer's
skill in responding to the writing task.
ACES will still meet class size requirements with the increased capacity. It should be
noted that the additional students will not have had the benefit of ACES academic
program in previous years. They will require close monitoring and possibly additional
support to ensure their success and for ACES to maintain the current level of
performance on the FCAT at fourth grade.
In order to take advantage of increasing the student enrollment for 2012/13 as outlined
above, the Governing Board of ACES must adopt a Resolution approving the change in
enrollment by March 15, 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

DATE: January 30, 2012
SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting Tier I Sta s f r Miami /Ft. Lauderdale Urban
Area Security Initiative (UASI)
February 7, 2012 Commission Meeting Agenda Item J_D
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution that
requests the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to recognize the Miami /Ft.
Lauderdale Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) as a Tier I funding recipient with the
UASI program.
BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2011 the Miami -Dade Board of County Commissioners adopted
Resolution No. R- 977 -11, supporting the County Mayor to request the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) to recognize the Miami /Ft. Lauderdale Urban Areas
Security Initiative (UASI) as a Tier I funding recipient within the UASI Program.
The U.S. DHS allocates funding under the UASI program by calculating risk factors of
designated urban areas across the United States and assigns a tier designation, either
or II. The tier status determines the amount of funding allocated to each UASI. UASIs
recognized with a Tier I status are allocated a substantially greater amount of Federal
funding under this vital homeland security program. The Miami /Ft. Lauderdale UASI is
designated as Tier II. The Miami /Ft. Lauderdale UASI has been working diligently to
secure a review of the Miami /Ft. Lauderdale UASI by DHS and subsequent Tier I
designation.
In the past weeks, Congress passed H.R. 2055 — FY2012 Consolidated Appropriations
Act that included funding for the Department of Homeland Security. State and Local
FEMA programs were funded at $1,349,681,000 with $1.118 billion for state and local
program grants. This is a significant reduction in overall funding as Congress has
Memo to City Commission
Page 2
sought to address deficit reduction. The bill directs the DHS Secretary to divide the
$1.118 billion among the various State and Local grant programs including UASI.
The Secretary is essentially given full discretion to determine the amount allocated for
UASI and other grant funding programs from a substantially reduced overall amount for
State and Local Grant Programs as compared to FY2011. With the overall reduced
funding level, and the even broader discretion given to the Secretary it is critical that we
ensure baseline funding for UASI, along with the fair allocation to Miami /Ft. Lauderdale
commensurate with its level of threat, vulnerability, and consequence in order to
maintain and sustain UASI capabilities.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

FROM: Eric M. Sorok MA -CM
City Manager
Joanne Carr, AICP�\p.
Community Development Director
DATE: December 6, 2011
SUBJECT: Request to Modify Exhibit "B" and to Extend Term of
Chapter 163 Development Agreement
Lubavitch Center Aventura South, Inc.
NE 185 Street at NE 28 Court, City of Aventura
(01- DA -12)
January 3, 2012 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item q
January 3, 2012 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item _r_
February 7, 2012 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 8
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission:
1. Approve an amendment to the Development Agreement made pursuant to Chapter
163, Florida Statutes, between the owner and the City to modify Exhibit "B" to the
agreement detailing the development proposal for the "Lofts Parcel and to extend the
term of the agreement for a 2.5 year period from August 2, 2012 to February 2, 2015;
and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute such amendment to the Development
Agreement on behalf of the City.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Lubavitch Center Aventura South, Inc., is requesting an amendment to
Exhibit "B" of the existing Development Agreement to reflect the current development
proposal for a synagogue and residential building on the "Lofts Parcel" and to extend
the term of the agreement for a further 2.5 year term from August 2, 2012 to February
2, 2015. (See Exhibit #1 for Letters of Intent)
BACKGROUND
OWNER OF PROPERTY:
NAME OF APPLICANT
LOCATION OF PROPERTY
HISTORY
Lubavitch Center Aventura South Inc.
Tract C 28- 2203 - 000 -0231 1.66 acres
Brian S. Adler
NE 28 Court at NE 185 Street
See Exhibit #2 for Location Map
In 2003, Merco Group at Aventura Landings received various development approvals
relating to the four tracts of land on NE 185 Street at NE 28 Court; those being, the
"Townhome Parcel ", the "Condominium Parcel ", the "Lofts Parcel" and the "Outparcel ".
The tracts are designated as Medium High Density Residential land use on the City's
Future Land Use Map and are zoned RMF4, Multifamily High Density Residential
District.
As part of the rezoning ordinance in 2003, the City Commission approved a
Development Agreement under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. That agreement
provided that the owner dedicate land, design and build the extension of NE 185 Street
as a necessary public facility and in turn, the agreement conferred to the owner the
benefit of preservation of zoning and concurrency during the term of the agreement.
The road extension was dedicated and constructed as agreed and is now in use.
Exhibit "B" of the Development Agreement detailed the approved development on each
of the parcels. The original approved development consisted of a 62 unit townhome
parcel south of NE 185 Street and west of NE 28 Court on the "Townhome Parcel ", a
205 unit 19 -story condominium parcel north of NE 185 Street and west of NE 28 Court
on the "Condominium Parcel ", and a 138 loft- style, 13 -story apartment south of NE 185
Street and east of NE 28 Court on the "Lofts Parcel ".
The property was placed in receivership in October of 2008. The parcels were
subsequently sold individually. The 62 unit townhome parcel and the outparcel were
completed. A foundation was built on the condominium parcel with no further
construction after that time. The applicant has purchased the "Lofts Parcel" and has
received conditional use approval to construct a synagogue along with the 138 unit
residential units. Its application for administrative site plan approval is in the staff
review process. The synagogue is proposed as Phase I, with the residential component
of the site planned for construction as a future Phase II.
K
The applicant's new development proposal necessitates an amendment to Exhibit "B"
of the Development Agreement to reflect the current plan. No increase in density and
no increase in height are requested. The proposed Third Modification to Development
Agreement is attached as Exhibit #3.
The current description of the "Lofts Parcel" development is:
"Lofts Parcel. (South of NE 185th Street and east of current NE 28th Court). This parcel
is 1.952 acres in size. Proposed development of this parcel is for 138 loft -style
apartment units under the RMF4 zoning district regulations. Proposed maximum height
is 13 stories or 206'10 "."
The proposed amended description of the "Loft Parcel" development is:
"Lofts Parcel. (South of NE 185th Street and east of current NE 28th Court). This
parcel is 1.952 acres in size. Proposed development of this parcel is for a religious
facility and 138 residential units (including singularly or a combination of standard
residential units, assisted living facilities and independent living facilities) under the
RMF4 zoning district regulations. Proposed maximum height is 13 stories or 206' 10 "."
Paragraph 11 of the Development Agreement provides for a term of five (5) years, with
extension by mutual agreement in two 2.5 year increments, subject to public hearing
approval, provided that the road construction is complete. The original five year term of
the agreement expired on February 2, 2010. The road construction was completed
within that time. The previous owner requested and was granted another 2.5 year term
to August 2, 2012. The applicant is now requesting the remaining two and one half
year extension originally contemplated by the agreement, from August 2, 2012 to
February 2, 2015, to permit the development of both planned phases of the "Lofts
Parcel ".

Re: Lubavitch Center Aventura South, Inc.
Property Located at 18449 N.E. 28th Court (the 'Property ")
Dear Ms. Carr:
This firm represents Lubavitch Center Aventura South, Inc. ( "Lubavitch ") as the owner of
the Property, identified as Folio No. 28- 2203 - 082 -0670.
Lubavitch obtained conditional use approval for a religious facility through City of
Aventura Resolution 2011 -47. Lubavitch now has a pending application for administrative site
plan approval for its permanent religious facility on the Property. As part of the religious facility
approval, Lubavitch must amend the previously executed and currently governing Development
Agreement. Therefore, please consider this our companion request to the administrative site
plan application for City approval to amend the Development Agreement (as amended) currently
governing the Property.
As the City is aware, the Property was part of an overall larger development which was
approved and subsequently platted as the Merco Aventura Plat at Plat Book 166, Page 58 of
the Public Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida. Lubavitch acquired the portion of the overall
property known as Tract F.
As part of the original approval on the overall property, the property owners and the City
of Aventura entered into a Development Agreement governing the development of the Property,
along with the other properties in the overall development. A subsequent owner and the City
modified the Development Agreement to extend development approval through August 2, 2012.
The purpose of our request is 1) to modify the permitted uses attached as Exhibit "B" to
the Development Agreement as it relates to the Property (referenced on Exhibit "B" as the Lofts
Parcel), to allow for the development of a religious facility and residential units, including
singularly or a combination of standard residential units, assisted living facilities and
independent living facilities, and 2) to further extend the term of the Agreement for the Lofts

Parcel for two and one half (2'/2) years to February 2, 2015 to allow first, for the development of
the religious facility and, subsequently the development of the residential portion of the
Property.
As the City can appreciate, the proposed construction on the Property is anticipated to
occur through phases and the residential portion will not be developed until after the religious
facility is constructed. Therefore, we are requesting the additional time to allow first, for the
development of the religious facility and, second, the residential tower.
I have attached a proposed Third Modification to Development Agreement for your
review and our discussion.
We appreciate the City's consideration of our application.
If you wish to discuss the above, please contact me at 305 -350 -2351.
