MEMORANDUM
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, City
TO: City Council
DATE: December 11, 1997
SUBJECT: Northeast Branch Library Update
At the last Workshop Meeting, the Council requested that I obtain a five-year plan
outlining the capital equipment or building improvement needs from the Library Director
for the Northeast Branch Library.
Enclosed is a letter dated December 2, 1997 from Mary R. Somerville, Director of
Libraries, which makes reference to a list. The following is a summary of the list of
capital items that the library has requested that have not been funded.
Tables and Chairs
Shelving
Display Modules
Awning
$37,000
$ 7,000
$ 4,500
$ 3,000
Due to the Holiday Season and events taking place at the County, it will not be until
after January 1, 1998 that I can meet with the County Manager to discuss program and
operational issues.
If the Council desires to fund the improvements, I would recommend that the Friends of
the Northeast Library be utilized in order to maintain control of the funds. In addition, a
budget amendment would be required to authorize expenditures for this purpose.

Dear Mr. Soroka:
Thank you for your letter regarding capital improvements to the Northeast Branch Library. We
appreciate the interest and concern of the City of Aventura, and applaud the recent
Friends/Marketing Council fund-raising event at Bloomingdale's, which raised $4,120.
I understand that, since our recent meeting with you and members of the Council, Northeast
Branch Friends' President Lee Watts has been in touch with you regarding a list offundable
projects previously agreed upon by Library staff and the Northeast Library Friends group. This
list could form the basis for a 5-year funding plan on the part of the City.
Meanwhile, the County is moving forward with plans to complete re-carpeting of the Branch by
the first of the year.

Re: Northeast Library Branch Improvements
Dear Mary:
This letter is a follow-up to our recent discussions. At the November 10, 1997 Workshop Meeting,
the City Council requested that I obtain a list of necessary Capital Improvements that are necessary
at the Northeast Library Branch and that are currently unfunded.
The list should include requirements for a five-year period and specifically outline the project and
estimated cost. Once this information is obtained, the City Council will consider a policy to possibly
fund improvements at the library. In addition, the City Council wants to be assured that any funding
provided by the City would not reduce the County's ongoing commitment to the Northeast Library
Branch.
Your cooperation and assistance in providing this information as soon as possible is appreciated.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, Cit
DATE: October 24,1997
SUBJECT: Northeast Branch Library
In light of the City Council's concerns, and to provide information to the Council
Subcommittee, on October 24, 1997, I met with Mary Somerville, Director of Libraries,
Assistant Branch Manager of the Northeast Library and Lee Watts, Aide to Commissioner
Gwen Margolis at the Northeast Library.
Attached as Exhibit "A" is a summary of the benefits of a district-wide library as compared to
a city library.
Attached, as Exhibit "B", is a diagram depicting the 26 computers that are available at the
Northeast Library.
Attached, as Exhibit "C", is an overview of the capital improvement and maintenance
performed at the Northeast Library.
Attached, as Exhibit "D", is a breakdown outlining the funds collected by Friends of the N.E.
Library and the description of the expenditures.
The following is a list of capital items that the Library has requested that are not funded:
. New Furniture
. Shelving
. Display Modules
$36,000
$ 7,000
$ 4,500
The Library would be agreeable to setting aside shelf space for historical information
regarding the City that would be donated by private citizens. In addition, they have
indicated that there are mechanisms available whereby if the City chose to fund
improvements, they could be restricted for the Northeast branch.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

A
Miami-Dade Public Library System
Benefit,; of District-Wide Service
The Miami-Dade Public Library System constitutes a district-wide service. as opposed to separate
neighborhood branches. Any citizen in the District may use any of 3 I libraries or may request any
item from the 3.9 million systemwide collection Service is not confined to the neighborhood
branch. Most citizens use 2-3 facilities: their closest branch, usually a small or medium library,
then a larger library. such as a regional or subregional. and then the Main Library, which has the
largest collection, including one of the largest research collections in the State. For example, a
resident living in Aventura would use the branch to check out leisure reading materials, while
traveling to the Main Library for in-depth information needs, or to view special collections such as
Genealogy, Government Documents, Business, Science, Fine Arts and World Languages.
All citizens have access to centralized, special administered services, such as Connections:
Books-by-Mail Service for the homebound and Talking Books for the blind and physically
handicapped. Unless pro-rated, the cost of such services cannot be assigned to anyone
community.
The new PELICAN automated system represents a state-of-the-art, Windows-based library
computer system providing access to information databases and the Internet. Northeast Branch
Library now has 26 computers (see attached chart).
In addition to taxes paid for by citizens to the Taxing District, countywide library service makes
possible State Aid, which provides $32 million annually to the Miami-Dade Public Library
System, equally benefiting all communities. Municipal libraries do not qualifY for State Aid. Any
community pulling out of the District could therefore lose access to State Aid. In summary,
independent municipal libraries cannot offer:
* State Aid
* Access to an in-depth, 3.9 million item collection.
* Special Services, such as Jump Start and Imagination Factory programs for children,
and extensive collections for adults, such as Florida and Languages.
* The only complete Patent Collection in the Southeast.
* One of the most extensive business collections in the Southeast, including corporate and
trade databases.
* A vast array of educational and culturally enriching programs and exhibitions.
* Designation by the State Library as a Regional Resource Center.
* Cost-effective processing oflibrary materials.
* Membership in Southeast Florida Library and Information Network (SEFLIN).
(The Miami-Dade Director is President Elect of the SEFLIN Board.)
* Access to a staffof464, including 155 professional librarians, most of whom have years
of experience and knowledge in specialized research areas.
In short, systemwide library services are beyond the scope of any municipality. Nationally and in
the state of Florida, the trend in public library development has been towards countywide and
cooperative systems; bigger _\$ better when you're looking at collection and staff depth and size,
special services, programs, and cost-effective service delivery.

Library
Interlocal Agreement Regarding Northeast Subregional
To help you draft a more detailed proposal to be
the Library, I summarize the points I recommended
for inclusion therein:
discussed with
at our meeting
1. Funds transferred by the City will be used only for an
improvement program at the Northeast Subregional Library to be
described specifically in the interlocal agreement.
2. We will set up an internal system for tracking all funds

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Keith and Schnars. P.A. has been retained by the City of A ventura to evaluate the possibility
of developing a public roadway parallel to Biscayne Boulevard (US I) from East Point Drive
to Williams Island Boulevard (N.E. l83rd Street) as illustrated in Exhibit I Location Map
The request for this access was initiated by the City Council desiring to improve access in and
around this area and to allow residents in the southern portion of the City to have access to
existing City of Aventura streets without using Biscayne Boulevard (US 1). The proposed
public right-of-way would complete a parallel link to Biscayne Boulevard (US 1) from the
south City limits of Aventura to the north City limits. This report will address the feasibility
of construction for this last section of this corridor. The purpose of this document is to serve
as a master plan for the City of A ventura to facilitate acquisition and construction of this
parallel roadway and assess the impact to adjacent properties.
The public right-of-way would provide for traffic circulation to existing shopping centers
adjacent to Biscayne Boulevard (US I) and for access to the northern limits of the City of
Aventura. The roadway would also serve to reduce trips currently routed to Biscayne
Boulevard (US 1) which experiences traffic congestion.
This engineering report and accompanying master plan provide general design criteria for the
development of final construction plans to be designed in accordance with Metro-Dade
development standards. This study is based on a typical cross-section illustrated in Exhibit
II. The typical section proposes landscape buffers in lieu of sidewalks in border areas.
In order for the City of A ventura to construct this public roadway. property acquisition would
be required and the minimum anticipated right-of-way width would be fifty (50) feet. It mav

be possible for some right-of-way to be acquired through dedication by adjacent property
0wners in exchange for the following advantlges:
I. Increase accessibility to portions of their property for both tenant use and emergency
fire and medical service use.
2. Use of the corridor route itself to avoid traffic congestion of Biscayne Boulevard
(US 1).
3. Provides a parallel evacuation route during storm emergencies.
A comprehensive traffic study was not conducted as part of this report and would be required
as part of a design development report if the City decides to move forward with this project.

II. EXISTING CORRIDOR CHARACTERISTICS
Based on the intensity of development between East Point Condominium and Williams Island
Boulevard, the conceptual alignment illustrated in Exhibit ill (Route Master Plan) is the only
alignment under consideration.
,
The proposed corridor connects a series of existing driveways and parking areas through
various residential/commercial parcels along the route. Exhibit I reflects the preferred
alignment in order to minimize the economic impact to the properties along the corridor.
The corridor begins at the south edge of Williams Island Boulevard and traverses south
through the existing Commodore Plaza Condominium. This portion of the route would
require the demolition and removal of existing parking within the Commodore Plaza
Condominium property, the reconstruction of a private entrance, and relocation of the
existing guardhouse facility. The corridor would then proceed southerly along the western
portion of the Del Prado Condominium parking lot. Construction of the roadway would
require relocation of the Del Prado guardhouse in order to maintain the private entrance into
the development. The roadway would then continue southerly to the western drive of the
Point East Condominium to Point East Drive. Minor relocations of the driveways and limited
access would be provided to the parking lot.

III. ROADW A Y DESIGN
Typical Section
Based on the nature of the roadway, we anticipate that the typical section for the corridor
would consist of a fifty (50) foot right-of-way which would include two (2) travel lanes
totaling twenty-four (24) feet of pavement and curb and gutter on each edge. Eleven (II)
foot clear zones would be provided on each side of the roadway to the right-of-way limits.
This roadway section would be designed in conformance with the Metro-Dade Public Works
standards. The minimum pavement specification would consist of one (I) inch of asphaltic
concrete with eight (8) inch limerock base and twelve (12) inch stabilized subgrade.
Horizontal Alignment
The corridor is proposed to be designed in accordance with AASHTO design guidelines. All
curves would have a minimum radius of eight hundred twenty (820) feet in accordance with
Index 511 of the FOOT Design Manual. All intersections would be as close to 900 as
possible, with the exception of the intersection at N.E. 183rd Street which would have an
intersection deflection of 650.
Vertical Alignment
The existing roadway and topography within the corridor are essentially flat and it is
anticipated that grades along the roadway would vary between 0.30% - 0.50% grades. The
proposed roadway would be designed for a speed of 30 MPH with a posted speed of 25
MPH.

PAGE 5
Utilities
Existing utilities in the area of the corridor have 1101 been determined at this time. In order
to proceed with the design development of the roadway corridor, the following utility
companies must be contacted:
Florida Power and Light Company
. BellSouth Telephone Company
. TCI of South Florida
. Peoples Gas System
. Metro-Dade Water and Sewer Departmelll
Drainage
The roadway corridor is part of the overall dr~ for the individual properties along the
corridor. With the construction of the public roadway, it will be necessary to construct
drainage facilities within the roadway to accommodate stormwater runoff from the roadway.
It is anticipated that the required drainage can be provided in the landscape swales adjacent
to the roadway in combination with injection wdIs in order to meet the minimum design
criteria of Metro-Dade Department of Environ!Dl:lltal Resources Management.
Environmental Site Assessment
The proposed corridor traverses residential and commercial properties and as a part of a
future design development report. it would be necessary to prepare an environmental
assessment of the proposed corridor route in order to evaluate the potential of hazardous
waste contamination within the roadway corridor.

IV. AFFECTED PROPERTIES
The proposed corridor cuts through existing private property. The right-of-way acquisition
and capital improvement costs would be incurred by the City of A ventura. The affected
properties would require wall, fence, landscaping replacement and other property cost
considerations including demolition within the right-of-way. These costs are identified for
discussion purposes and presented in Table "AU.

V. PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES
Right-oC-Way Acquisition Costs
The fIfty (50) foot right-of-way acquisition costs for this study will be assumed to be "anns-
length" transactions with willing sellers. In the absence of a willing seller, the City would be
forced through their powers of eminent domain to condemn the properties. If condemnation
is required, this could, as a minimum, triple the preliminary acquisition costs presented here.
The total preliminary acquisition cost is $1,400,000.
Roadway Costs
The capital improvement costs associated with the typical cross-section illustrated in Exhibit
II, multiplied by the total corridor linear footage are tabulated in this portion of the estimate.
Demolition costs within the right-of-way boundaries are also included in Table "A". Table
"B" provides the total roadway construction cost.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
. Discuss proposed alignment with each individual adjacent property owner to inform them
of the advantages of this corridor.
. Depending of the success of negotiations with the owners, the project may proceed to
a second tier study. This will require refIning the actual costs to the adjacent properties.
. The City of A ventura should use this study as a planning document for informational
purposes only.
. If the City of A ventura is to participate in this project it would require acquisition of
right-of-way and the roadway would have to he designed in accordance with Metro-Dade
standards,

AVENTURA SUMMARY VISION STATEMENT
The people of Aventura value the sense of community they get from living here. That
sense of community is strong and growing. However, that value is not readily apparent
in the physical environment. It is the presence and interaction of people that cause that
sense of community, and the presence and interaction of people that will cause the
physical image of the city and the self-image held by the people of Aventura to change.
Those changes will be subtle but over the next twenty years will become readily apparent
to even the first-time visitor. The people of Aventura will refine the built environment
into a place that beautifully reflects their sense of community and will chan1{e the image -I<>~ J fwJ
of the entire citr.
The evolving Aventura will be a source of great local pride. Picture a beautifully
landscaped, well maintained and tree-lined road network that will provide an excellent
means for mobility on a clearly defined hierarchy of regional and local roads and streets.
The city will be a leader in multi-modal transportation with a clean and efficient local
transit system, and an extensive, connected network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
,~~ 1Dcll.-~
There will be a major fc:ity center and a local villa/{e center JThe downtown will include a
pedestrian-friendly business esplanade, a government center, and a well-landscaped
park. The downtown will greatly enhance Aventura's tax base, and, more importantly, its
sense of place.
Parks and cultural centers for seniors, teens and young families will be constructed.
Economic growth will playa key role in guiding development and will successfully attract
new businesses, nightlife, and a medical campus. The City will take an active role in
collaborating with the Dade County school system to provide support in site location and
shared recreational facilities. The lasting image Aventura will leave on visitors and
residents will be one of tropical comfort and sophistication.
A system of local parks, each designed to match surrounding neighborhood
characteristics, will be linked to the balance of the City by the pedestrian path network.
This networ .lIlin to the regional system, allowing multi-modal aCCess to the city's

Aventura will be known as having an excellent police force, a highly advanced system of
night lighting, and effective crime prevention through environmental design features. The
City will boast one of the lowest crime rates in Florida.
An extensive investment in storm water management and infrastructure facilities will be
made to greatly improve surface drainage and water quality.
The combination of wide, tree-lined boulevards and intimate streets and pedestrian
paths will lead to community buildings and spaces where citizens will meet, make
decisions, talk, work, shop, learn, eat and come together to relax and enjoy life. This is
the Aventura that people will build: a place that promotes and supports the interaction
of people as a true community.
