(See Exhibit #2 for application).

ADDRESS OF PROPERTY
19501 Biscayne Boulevard

Approximately 97.962 acres

ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The request is not inconsistent
with the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan.
Community Development Department Analysis -
According to Dade County Code, an alcoholic beverage use may not be located within
1500 feet from another existing alcoholic beverage use or within 2500 feet from a
religious facility or public school. As an exception to these spacing requirements, one
(1) cocktail lounge-bar may be permitted in a shopping center in a BU-2 or more liberal
district, provided that it meets certain requirements.
Currently, two (2) restaurants with cocktail lounges-bars are located inside the Aventura
Mall, each having received a Special Exception from distance requirements by Dade
County. Within 1500 feet of the proposed Rainforest Cafe are the following alcoholic
beverage uses: two (2) restaurants with cocktail lounges-bars, the food court, and a
2
restaurant with a cocktail lounge-bar located in the Concord Plaza. No religious
facilities or public schools are located within a 2500 foot radius of the proposed
restaurant and cocktail lounge-bar.
This department has applied the same criteria used to permit one (1) restaurant and
cocktail lounge-bar in a shopping center, in order to evaluate the proposal for a third
restaurant and cocktail-lounge bar.
The conditions as required by Dade County Code Section 33-150(E)(4) are:
1. "shopping center in a BU-2 district containing net ground area of not less than 14
acres under one ownership";
The Aventura Mall site is approximately 97.96 acres under one ownership.
2. "approved plan showing 200,000 square feet of building... with facilities for parking
not less than 250 vehicles";
The approved site plan for the Aventura Mall consists of approximately 2.3
million square feet of building and 8,576 parking spaces.
3. "restaurant serves full course meals regularly, and has accommodations for service
of two hundred (200) or more patrons at tables, and provided the restaurant
occupies more than four thousand (4,000) square feet of floor space";
The Rainforest Cafe serves full course meals regularly, has
accommodations for service of 378 patrons at tables, and occupies 6,722
square feet of floor space.
4. "before any such cocktail lounge-bar will be permitted, the required floor area of
75,000 square feet and required parking for 250 vehicles in the shopping center
must be constructed"; and
More than 75,000 square feet of floor area has been constructed and more
than 250 parking spaces currently exist at the Aventura Mall (see #2
above).
5. If this Special Exception is granted by the City Council, then the applicant is required
to conform to all requirements as specified in Section 33-150(E)(4) as follows: (1)
the cocktail lounge-bar in the restaurant structure shall not have outside entrances
and; (2) the lounge shall be so located that there is no indication from the outside of
the structure that the cocktail lounge is within the structure.
3
Additionally, according to Article XXXVI, Section 33-311 (d) of the Dade County Code, a
special exception should be evaluated using the following criteria:
1. The request would not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of Dade County:
The request for an additional restaurant with a cocktail lounge-bar in the
Aventura Mall would not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of
Dade County.
2. The request would not generate or result in excessive noise or traffic, cause undue
or excessive burden on public facilities, including water, sewer, solid waste disposal,
recreation, transportation, streets, roads, highways or other such facilities which
have been constructed or which are planned and budgeted for construction; and
The request would not generate or result in excessive noise or traffic, or
cause undue or excessive burden on public facilities above and beyond
that which is already contemplated for the restaurant in general and that
of the entire shopping center.
3. The request would not tend to create a fire or other equally or greater dangerous
hazards, or provoke excessive overcrowding or concentration of people or
population; and
The request would not tend to create a fire or other equally or greater
dangerous hazard, or provoke excessive overcrowding or concentration of
people or population above and beyond that which is already
contemplated for the restaurant in general and that of the entire shopping
center.
4. The necessity for and reasonableness of such applied for exception in relation to the
present and future development of the area concerned and the compatibility of the
applied for exception with such area and its development.
The request to serve alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a restaurant
located in a regional mall is not an unreasonable request. Restaurants
that serve alcohol with full course meals are compatible with, and are
typically found in, regional malls such as the Aventura Mall.
Citizen Comments
The Community Development Department has not received any written citizen
comments.

CONDITIONS
It is recommended that the request for the Special Exception be granted subject to the
following condition:

stimulating and entertaining environment appealing to a broad range of
customers of all ages. The dynamic restaurant and retail environment which
recreates a tropical rainforest. Rainforest Cafe is a tropical wonderland with cool
mists that permeate through cascading waterfalls; crescendos of thunder and
lightening; continuous tropical rain storms; huge mushroom canopies; and is
enhanced by live tropical birds, exotic fish in large, custom designed aquariums,
animated wildlife, featuring Tracy the Talking Tree, and several sculpted
oversized banyan trees that create a canopy of foliage over mists that emanate
from extensive rock formations, and specifically developed aromatic scents
further enhance the atmosphere.

SUBJECT: Proposed Interim Service Fee Ordinance
1st Reading November 18,1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item..:l.:.F-
2nd Reading December 16, 1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item_
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance which
establishes an Interim Service Fee in order to recover municipal service costs to
developed properties not yet included in the County's tax roll. The fee would be paid by
new development prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
BACKGROUND
Currently, under Florida law, when a new building or structure is completed, it does not
appear on the new tax rolls until the following January. Although the property is
receiving full municipal services they pay no Ad Valorem taxes until the next fiscal year.
The other revenues paid by new development do not meet the costs of services.
The attached Ordinance establishes a fee to be charged to new development to pay its
fair share of costs for municipal services during the interim period between the time the
new development is complete and the time it is placed on the tax rolls.
Many cities have adopted such an Ordinance and the proposal is patterned after one
adopted by the City of Weston. The Ordinance provides for the fee structure to be
adopted by resolution.
The following represents the schedule of fees to recommend to the City Council on
second reading of the Ordinance:
Determination of Value:
The Feepayer shall provide to the City of Aventura a certification of the value of the
property being developed, which certification shall be determined as follows:
Residential:
The total sales price of the property, including land value shall be provided
to the City. This total sales price shall be multiplied by Eighty Percent, to
determine the value of the property subject to the Interim Service Fee.
Industrial/Office/Commercial
The Feepayer shall certify to the City an estimate of the value of the
property, which value shall include the complete cost of construction,
including land value. This value shall be multiplied by Eighty Percent, to
determine the value of the property subject to the Interim Service Fee.
The Feepayer shall pay to the City of Aventura an amount representing the value of the
Ad Valorem taxes shown on the property tax bill that the Feepayer would have received
from the Dade County Property Appraiser for the Tax Year in which the property is due
to receive the Certificate of Occupancy. This amount is calculated based on the
property values as determined herein times the number of months in the Tax Year in
which the property is due to receive the Certificate of Occupancy times the applicable
millage rate of the City of Aventura.
The following illustrates how the fee would be implemented:
Total sales price
=
$200,000
$160,000
X 80%
=
=
$
$
30/month
X 2.2270 mills
356
+ 12 months
=
X 10 months for
a March closing
=
$
300 Fee due to City
The Ordinance provides a mechanism to recover costs of providing services to
developed properties not yet on the tax roll and a revenue source to fund operations
required by growth.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA
ESTABLISHING INTERIM SERVICES FEES FOR
PROPERTIES NOT YET INCLUDED IN THE COUNTY'S
TAX ROLL; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, in order to recover municipal service costs to developed properties
not yet on the County's tax roll, the City Council of the City of Aventura wishes to
establish an Interim Services Fee; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That Chapter _ of the Code of the City of Aventura entitled "Interim
Service Fees" is hereby created as follows:
Sec. 1.
Title; application, findings.
This ordinance, known as the "City of Aventura Interim Services Fee
Ordinance," hereby establishes an "interim service fee."
(a) The preamble "Whereas" clause is adopted as the findings of the City
Council and are hereby ratified and confirmed and made specific
findings of the City Council as a part of this ordinance.
(b) The City Council finds that from the time a new building or structure is
completed until the ensuing first day of January when the improvement
is added to the tax roll, the City is obligated to provide services for which
ad valorem taxes or non-ad valorem assessments are not assessed on
Ordinance No. 97-_
Page 2
the improved portion of the property and for which other revenues paid
do not meet the costs of services.
(c) The City Council finds that owners of newly developed properties
receive City-provided services including, but not limited to police,
engineering and public works, public services, development services,
and planning.
(d) The City Council finds that the additional City services demanded to
serve new development provide a valuable benefit to the new
development. The cost for the services provided by the City to new
development is paid by residents of the City partially through ad valorem
taxation. The owners of the improved properties directly benefiting from
the City's provision of the additional services do not contribute to the
payment for the cost of those services through ad valorem taxation until
those improvements are placed on the tax roll.
(e) The City Council finds that the imposition of the interim services fee
upon new development for the cost of the City providing additional City
services to newly developed and improved property during the interim
period between the time the new development is completed and the time
said improvement is placed on the tax roll represents a fair method to
apportion the cost of City-provided services to the recipients of those
services.
Ordinance No. 97-_
Page 3
Sect. 2. Purpose; intent.
(a) It is the intent of the City Council to establish an interim services fee in
order that new development receiving additional City services be
required to pay only its proportionate and fair share of the costs of such
services without reference to the valuation of the property receiving or
benefiting from said services, and said fee shall not in any manner,
directly or indirectly, be an ad valorem tax, and
(b) It is the further intent of the City Council that the interim services fee
imposed for additional City services pursuant to this article shall be
proportionate to the cost of the services benefiting new development for
the period of time commencing with the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy ending at the time such improvements are placed on the tax
roll.
Sect 3. Definitions.

accepted, for whatever reason, by a national banking institution, shall remain
due and payable and shall constitute and is hereby imposed as a special
assessment lien against the real property upon which such fee remains due;
and until fully paid and discharged, or otherwise barred by law from being
assessed, shall remain a lien equal in rank and dignity with the lien of the City
for ad valorem taxes and senior in dignity to all other liens, encumbrances,
titles and claims, into or against the real property containing the structure.
Such special assessment lien may be enforced by any of the methods provided
for in Chapter 85, Florida Statutes, or an alternative foreclosure proceeding
may be instituted under Chapter 173, Florida Statutes, or the collection and
enforcement thereof may be accomplished by other methods as allowed by law.

SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement With Dade County Department of
Environmental Resources Management (DERM) and Dade Cities to
Share Costs Associated With N.P.D.E.S. Permit Requirements
November 18, 1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item If:>
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of the attached
Interlocal Agreement by and between the City and DERM for professional services
associated with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (N.P.D.E.S.) operating
permit requirements.
BACKGROUND
Federal Regulations require all counties and affected municipalities, including Aventura,
to file a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (N.P.D.E.S.) permit to monitor
stormwater outfalls and to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable in accordance with E.PA guidelines.
In order to reduce costs and achieve economies of scale the attached Interlocal
Agreement has been prepared by Dade County. A majority of the cities in Dade
County have executed the Agreement. The Agreement fairly distributes the cost of
administering the permit between all participants and also authorizes the County to
monitor the discharges.
The total cost is $600,000. The City's share, based on the number of catch basins, is
$19,200. Staff indicates that the initial cost savings would be over $25,000 not
including ongoing efforts to report and monitor the permit requirements.
The costs are included in the budget as part of the Stormwater Utility Program.

Comoensation Within ten (10) days from the date of
execution of this Agreement the CITY shall make a lump sum payment
to the COUNTY of its orooortionate share of the payment due to the
COUNTY for associated monitoring activities which are the CITY's
financial obligation pursuant to this Agreement. The sum due
shall be determined by dividing the total cost for analysis by the
relative percentages that each participating municipality
contributes towards stormwater drainage to United States bodies of
water. It is hereby stipulated and agreed that the total cost for
analysis is a yearly stipend. The yearly cost as calculated will
be due on the anniversary date of execution of this Agreement in
following years until the end of the permit period (August 31,
2001) of the five year NPDES Permit. Failure to pay the
agreed-upon lump sum payment or subsequent payments shall be
deemed default by the CITY pursuant to this Agreement, and shall
result in a reversion of the CITY's NPDES Permit status to
Individual Permit Holder. As of September 30, 1997, twenty-three
(23) cities and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
have indicated their participation as co-permittees in the NPDES
Final Rule process. Therefore, based on these cormnitments, the
nrooortionate share of each co-permittee has been calculated and
is listed on Attachment "Boo.
Hold Harmless The CITY shall hold harmless the COUNTY from
any and all damages or other liability incurred by the CITY by
virtue of any action which might be taken by EPA against the CITY
based upon the results obtained during the sampling and reporting
set forth by the Part 2 EPA NPDES Final Rule process, or by any
results obtained during the five year term of the NPDES Permit.
Access/Citv Permits The CITY shall provide the COUNTY with
reasonable access at all times as necessary to accomplish the
analysis of any storm sewer systems which may be located within

and CITY regulatory approvals required in order for the CITY to
accomplish the above activities that may be located within the
CITY's jurisdiction.

SUBJECT: Moratorium Waiver Request - Eddie Yeh property
November 18,1997 City Council Meeting Agenda Item JL.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council grant the Waiver Request for the moratorium
subject to the enclosed conditions.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 97-22 created a moratorium upon the issuance of development orders
concerning development within the Marina Area and Hospital Area within the City.
Section 2 of the Ordinance provides that the City Council may grant a waiver when the
City Council determines, based on substantial competent evidence, that the specific
use or activity will not detrimentally affect the preparation and implementation of the
City Plan and will be compatible with surrounding land uses.

Memo to City Council
Page 2
The surrounding land uses and development under construction adjacent to the site are
residential in nature. In this regard, the specific use as residential is compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
Based on preliminary discussions with our planning consultants and the Community
Development Director, if the residential structures provide quality development, it would
not have a detrimental affect on the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan. Other
uses such as commercial or industrial could be incompatible to the existing residential
uses. In addition, commercial development would generate more traffic than residential
development. The Land Use Plan of Dade County designates this area for residential
development.
In order to ensure the proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, the
following conditions are recommended:
1 . That the waiver be granted to a specific project and owner.
2. That the site plan be prepared in conformance with the Master Plan for
the moratorium area approved by the City Council as part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. That a contract for sale be presented to the City within sixty days.
4. That the owner cooperates with the City relative to the N.E. 185th Street
road improvements.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Request for Waiver to Marina Moratorium Area
Dear Mr. Soroka:
On behalf of Mr. Eddie Yeh a/kIa Huan Hui Yeh (hereinafter referred to as "Owner") and Pre GP V Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as the "Purchaser"), the undersigned hereby requests a pubic hearing before the City
Council to request a waiver from the provisions of Ordinance 97-22 (the "Moratorium Ordinance"), which
imposed a moratorium upon the issuance of development orders and permits within certain areas of Aventura. Mr.
Yeh is currently the owner of the parcel of property more specifically described in the attached Exhibit "A" (the
"Property"): Pre GP V Inc. is a prospective purchaser of such Property. The Property is located within the arca
generally defined by the Moratorium Ordinance as the Marina Area.
The Property is currently zoned ID-I (Industrial Light Manufacturing). This waiver is requested in order
to permit the Owner and/or the Purchaser to request a change in zouing to RU-4M (Modified Apartment House
District), permitting the development of the property with 35.9 uuits per acre, consistent with the current
designation of the property on the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan. Such use will not
detrimentally affect the preparation and implementation of the City Plan, and will be compatible with surrounding
land uses.
Both the Owner and the Purchaser respectfully request that this matter be scheduled for a public hearing
before the City Council at the next available Council meeting. Please notify me at the below address, or by
facsimile at (305) 579-0717, once the public hearing has been scheduled. Please call me at 579-0613 if you need
any additional iufonnation regarding this matter.
Very truly yours, /

Mr. Eric M. Soroka
City Manager,
City of Aventura, Fl.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss "live aboards" with you. By way of introduction, I have
been the dockmaster at Turnberry Isle Marina for almost 4 years, dockmaster on the west coast ofF!. For
many years, member of the southwest Fl. Regional planning commission, member of RA.LL. (Boaters
Action and Information League), professional U.S. Coast Guard captain, e.t.c.. I have assisted several
communities in their attempts to regulate boating.
First of all I invite yon and any interested parties to come to Turnberry and get a first hand look
at what we are attempting to regulate. I am sure that the other Aventura marinas, The Waterways, Mystic
Point and William's Island would also be happy to accommodate you. I could give you an overview of the
"live-aboard" boater, show you the types of boats in question, show you our pump out station, show you
our large boaters rest room/shower facilities, explain type I, II and III U.S. coast Guard certified devices
and answer whatever other questions you may have.
Boaters are currently governed by federal Coast Guard regulations as well as the Florida clean
vessel act. A simplistic method of gaining jurisdiction would be to simply "require all vessels in the
confines of the city of Aventura to adhere to the U.S. Coast Guard mandates as well as the Florida clean
vessel act".
Many attempts have been made at determining exactly what is a live-aboard; many answers have
surfaced. Re-inventing the wheel here in Aventura is not really needed in my belief; I just do not see a real
problem. Much has been said as to the positive financial influence of boaters; this could not be truer than
right here in A ventura. Our boats run in size from the mid 30s to over 174ft. with an average size of over
54 ft. An average new Hatteras motor yacht would cost out at around $l.lmil. with a similar sized Sea
Ray express cruiser at about $800 to 900 thousand. Our boaters, while most base their vessels here year
round, mostly are seasonal in nature. Many have homes here as well. Many come for 2-3 days at a time,
some coming and taking the boat out for a few days to a few months. Most do not but a few of the larger
have 2-3 crew members who stay on the boat providing a great deal of security.
Boating is big business!! Boating represents $5.3BILLION (direct and indirect) to Broward
county. Dade receives $302.4 mil injust retail sales. Broward has 94,571 marine related jobs. Just the five
days of the fall Ft. Lauderdale boat show brings in over $200,000 to the community. Our boaters are
pillars of the community, folks that any town would be proud to call their friends- we're talking CEO. of
NYSE companies- board members of major international companies, owners of local business, etc.
I would suggest that we try to identify exactly what we are attempting to legislate. Is sewage a
perceived problem or is a boater staying aboard looked at as avoiding taxes. We should then ascertain
whether or not regulation is already in place and ouly look at further legislation if actually needed.
No doubt you have seen the Herald article of Nov 9lh. This article intimates that there are hoards
of live-aboard wannabes just waiting for you to legislate them into existence. I seriously doubt that the
writer understood correctly. Most boaters assmne the right and do stay aboard their vessel when they
desire. Most are conscientious of the environment, maintain their vessels in a seamanship manner, pay
their taxes through their marina rent and are generally just good people.
I am happy to offer my assistance and look foreword to hearing from you; please feel free to call
me at 933-6934.
