Revised Waterways Park Plan
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, the City Commission approved the execution of the Purchase and Sale
agreement with Gulfstream for six acres.
The Agreement contained the following major points:
1.
City will purchase park parcel for a purchase price of $3,800,000. The
property was appraised in 2000 at $3,850,000.
2.
City will take the parcel in an "as is - where is" condition and will be
responsible for any environmental cleanup and liability. Gulfstream will
contribute up to $1,000,000 toward the clean up work.
3.
As a condition to closing, Gulfstream shall have obtained from the City
zoning approval to extend the MO zoning and conditional use approval for
the parcels zoned medical office for residential uses which does not
exceed twenty (20) stories in height and 35 dwelling units an acre.
4.
As a condition following the closing, at Gulfstream's cost, the City agrees
to be a joint applicant with Gulfstream for the westerly expansion of the
existing canal located north of Yacht Club Drive to Gulfstream's adjacent
property including the development of a marina. Upon final approval by
all applicable regulatory authorities, Gulfstream will pay the City
$1,900,000.
5.
The City agrees that the property will be used for park purposes and
accessory uses to the park.
Memo to City Commission
December 8, 2004
Page 2
Recently, representatives of Gulfstream approached the City to discuss the possibility
of rearranging the proposed park land to be purchased by the City, in order to allow the
southern extension of the race track and chute. The original park site is shown on the
attached Exhibit A and contained approximately 1.6 acres of unusable wetlands.
After meeting several times with Gulfstream and revising the plans, we feel that a better
park site and layout has been developed.
The new park site is shown on the attached Exhibit B. The positive points of the new
plan are as follows:
. The usable land area is approximately 5.65 areas.
. The land contains less wetland area.
. The baseball multi-purpose field is larger than the original plan.
. The playground area is larger.
. The parking facilities are larger.
. Ajogging path was added.
The only negative point of the new plan is the fact that the new 6 acre area is no long
contiguous with the current waterways park. It will be connected by a sidewalk.
In addition, it should be pointed out based on the new plan and the location of the track
chute, Gulfstream will no longer be pursuing the westerly expansion of the existing
canal.
Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the City Commission accept the
revised park plan and authorize the Purchase and Sale Agreement to be amended to
reflect the new land area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Bell David Planning Group and The Corradino Group
1
What is the City of Aventura's
Comprehensive Plan?
The City of Aventura's Comprehensive Plan is the
City's blueprint for existing and future development
for the next 20 years. The Plan's goals, objectives
and policies reflect the City's vision for its future,
and for how it will meet the needs of existing and
future residents, visitors and businesses.
2
What is an EAR?
An Evaluation and Appraisal Report is a review of
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
- Required every 7 years
- Responds to changes in State, regional and local
planning requirements
- Identifies progress made towards achieving the
Comprehensive Plan
- Identifies changes to the City such as population
increases, annexations and changes in land use
3
Purpose of Workshop
As part of the EAR, the City must identify the major
planning issues it is facing, and make
recommendations to amend the Comprehensive
Plan to address these issues. The purpose of this
workshop is to gain your input on the issues that
should be addressed in the EAR.
4
Preliminary Issues
Based on discussions with City staff, three
preliminary issues have been identified:
- Development and Redevelopment
- Hurricane preparedness and emergency
management
- Quality of life
5

SUBJECT:
At the last Commission Workshop Meeting, the Administration was requested to obtain
additional information regarding the installation of decorative street lighting on Biscayne
Boulevard.
The following is in response to the above request:
1.
The City can utilize its own design and color for the street poles so long as
FDOT approves the final plans.

Status of Gulfstream Park DRI Application
The following is a summary of meetings held since my last memorandum of October 4,
2004,
A meeting was held with all parties on October 26, 2004, following the Regional
Planning Council's finding of insufficiency on September 29 to discuss the outstanding
issues. The City of Hallandale Beach's position was that the applicant is not addressing
additional trips on the roads in that the Local Traffic Study suggests signal timing and
lane markings only, FDOT District #6 advised that it was not convinced that the
development was exempt from roadway improvements because it was within a
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) and asked for a letter of
interpretation on this issue from the Department of Community Affairs. Our City's
Special Counsel asked for examples from other DRI's and suggested that a recent
Miami-Dade DRI may have been required to mitigate for road improvements inside and
outside the TCEA. The applicant advised that there is an amendment underway to
Broward County's master plan to delete the transportation concurrency exception area
provision and enact a transit oriented concurrency program. Most of the discussion
centered on specific traffic analysis in the Local Traffic Study and due to the technical
nature of the data, all agreed that a separate meeting of transportation engineers
should be convened to come to consensus on the data presented.
On November 4, 2004, the transportation engineers for the applicant, for the Cities of
Hallandale Beach and Aventura, for Broward and Miami-Dade Counties and for FDOT
Districts #4 and #6 met to discuss the technical traffic data presented and outstanding
issues,
On November 9, 2004, all parties met to discuss the outcome of the transportation
engineers' meeting on November 4. Five items are to be completed for the impact
assessment report. Those items were:
1. Evaluate the ramps on 1-95 and Ives Dairy Road
2. Re-evaluate the ramps on 1-95 and Hallandale Beach Boulevard
3, Prepare a transit baseline study using LOS "D" with a translation of that level of
service to transit needs
4. Translate Transportation Demand Management to trip reductions
5. Prepare a County Line Road feasibility study
The applicant's traffic engineers agreed to provide the above information by November
19,2004 and provide the new study for review at a meeting on December 2,2004.
The applicant's attorney also presented its proposal for a "Flexible Development
Program" which contemplates a range of uses from minimum level in Phase I to a
maximum level in Phase III (build out). The handout received from the applicant at the
meeting is attached. The mix of uses in the "Minimum Development Program" is the
minimum commitment of mixes by the applicant but it will ask for a Development Order
that allows the 2014 maximum with an interim cap of 2,040 trips. The 1.3 million
square feet of retail in the 2014 maximum column is to be revised by the applicant to
1.2 million square feet.
On November 22, 2004, staff received the supplemental traffic evaluation and
information report from the applicant's traffic engineers, Staff, City's Special Counsel
and the City's traffic consultant reviewed the report for discussion at the meeting
scheduled for December 2.
On December 2, 2004, all parties met to discuss whether adequate information had
been submitted to allow the South Florida Regional Planning Council to make a
sufficiency determination and then move the application along to the development order
conditions negotiation stage. The FDOT and Broward County representatives were
satisfied with the information. The representative from Dade County Transit advised
that he requires more information as to the basis of calculation of transit trips shown in
the report and analysis of a proposed transit stop. The representatives from the City of
Hallandale Beach had just received the supplemental traffic report the day preceding
the meeting and had not had time to review it. There is also the outstanding issue of
sanitary sewer capacity. Our City's Special Counsel suggested that sufficiency
determination should not be made until the question of roadway mitigation within a
TCEA is resolved. The applicant's attorney answered that question will remain
unresolved pending the outcome of the land use amendment underway in Broward
County to delete the TCEAs and this can be discussed further during the development
order negotiations. The South Florida Regional Planning Council will delay issuance of
sufficiency until the applicant submits the required information to and satisfies Dade
County Transit and until the City of Hallandale Beach reviews the supplemental traffic
report and provides the Planning Council with evidence that sanitary sewer capacity will
be available. The applicant anticipates that these items will be completed by December
15, 2004 and is looking for a sufficiency determination on or about that date. Once the
sufficiency determination is made, negotiations will begin for development order
conditions, The applicant is expecting to have negotiations completed for hearing at
the Regional Planning Council meeting in February, 2005.
Although the applicant has completed the traffic studies and has tentatively agreed to
some transit improvements, it is still not willing to mitigate by way of any road
improvements because of its location in a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area
(TCEA), Our City's position has been since the beginning of the DRI meetings that
DRl's are not excepted. The applicant disagrees and this question remains open. City
staff and City's Special Counsel have scheduled a meeting with Department of
Community Affairs staff on December 9, 2004 to discuss whether a DRI is exempt from
road improvements when it is within a TCEA.
The concurrent land use plan amendment was transmitted to DCA on September 28,
2004, The Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report has not been
issued by DCA as of December 2, 2004. The applicant has no expected date for
adoption of the amendment.
I have attached the applicant's original flowchart of actions required for approval and
have indicated the status of both the DRI and the Land Use Plan Amendment as of this
date.
Flexible Development Program
The Applicant proposes to implement a flexible development program which contemplates a
range of uses from a "minimum"level, which represents the initial portion of the Phase I
development, to a "maximum" level as reflecte on Table 1 below:

This flexible Development Program was formulated to allow the Applicant to respond to market
conditions by increasing or decreasing the intensities and types of use within specified limitations
designed to ensure compliance with Chapter 380 requirements,
The DR! analysis was performed with an evaluation of the maximum (year 2014) development
program listed above, Because the land use intensities cannot exceed the 2014 maximum
development program, the infrastructure impacts ofth~ project will not exceed the impacts which
have been evaluated for build out of the project.
However, to respond to continuing issues related to the significance and magnitude ofproject
traffic and demands on transportation infrastructure, the Applicant proposes to create an interim
"cap" of trips at the threshold provided in the 2010 development program listed above (2,040
weekday p.m, peak hour trips), Under this plan, the following would occur:
The Applicant will initially pursue a plan of development up to 2,040 trips on the site, If
the Applicant wishes to develop uses within the DR! that will exceed this 2,040 trip
"interim" cap (up to the established maximum of2,605 p.m, peak hour trips), the
Applicant will be required to perform an updated traffic analysis,
Within the 2,040 trip interim cap, the Applicant will have the flexibility to develop any of
the individual uses up to the maximum intensity listed in the 2014 development program,
given that the overall new external trip generation does not exceed the interim cap.
Examvle: the Applicant could decide to develop up to 300,000 square feet of office,
but develop less retail use such that the overall DR! trip generation does not exceed
the interim cap of 2,040 p,m, peak hour trips,
This flexible program would be governed by an overall trip equation as follows:
(0.031 * M)+(1.536 * O)+(?,235 * ~+(0.16 * R)-t(\.587 C)= 2,040 trips
Where: M = movie theater/cinema (seats)
0 = office (1,000 sf)
H = hotel (rooms)
R = residential (d,u.)
C = commercial (1,000 sf)
