PROPERTY TO BE SURPLUSED- CALL BOXES
Attached is a list prepared by Ernie Long of the serial numbers for the call
boxes that were recently removed from their posts within the City. The boxes are
currently at the far west side of the Government Center parking lot, on the other
side of the generator.
The batteries have been removed and I will contact Cesar about disposing of
them.
The call boxes have little value at this point except for parts. The solar panels
attached to them may be of some use. The internal communication sections of
the boxes are outdated as they are analog and the current standard is digital.

FROM: Eric M. Soroka, Cit nag r
BY: ; Brian K. Raducci, Finan e upport Services Director
DATE: March 28, 2008
TO: City Commission
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2007
April 8, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 6 - c
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the following motion:
"Motion to accept for filing of the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and
the letter dated March 20, 2008 attached hereto as Attachment A."
Backaround
The CAFR, a letter from our independent auditors - McGladrey & Pullen LLP
dated March 20, 2008 and a staff-prepared memorandum were distributed to the
Mayor and Commissioners on March 28, 2008.
The Rules of the Auditor General, Chapter 10.550, require that the CAFR be
filed as an official record at a public meeting. This motion satisfies that
requirement. In addition, the auditors have requested that their letter dated
March 20, 2008, identified as Attachment A on the staff-prepared memorandum,
be accepted for filing with the City Commission.
A representative from the auditing firm will be present at the April 8th City
Commission meeting. However, since the CAFR is the City's responsibility, I
respectfully request that any questions be discussed with the City Manager prior
to the meeting.

Planning Director
DATE: March 14,2008
SUBJECT: Request of Filene's Basement Inc. for Sign Variance
17651 Biscayne Boulevard, City of Aventura
(01-SV-08)
April 8, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 7
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission:
1. Approve the request for variance to permit a second wall sign
measuring 72.39 square feet on the front (west) building elevation;
where one sign is permitted by Code; and
2. Deny the request for variance to permit a third wall sign measuring
84.90 square feet on the side (north) building elevation, where one
sign is permitted by Code
all for a proposed retail clothing store at 17651 Biscayne Boulevard, City of
Aventura.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Filene's Basement Inc., is requesting variance from Section 31-
191 (g)(2)a. of the City Code to permit three wall signs on a two story retail
building located at 17651 Biscayne Boulevard, where one wall sign is permitted
by Code. (See Exhibit #1 for Letter of Intent)

The Site - The subject site is the two story retail building formerly occupied by
Carl's Furniture store in the northerly tenant space and presently occupied by
Sound Advice in the southerly tenant space.
2
The Project - The applicant is proposing to open a retail clothing store in the two
story, 25,760 square foot northerly tenant space formerly occupied by Carl's
Furniture at 17651 Biscayne Boulevard, City of Aventura.
The applicant has submitted a sign package for the new retail store and is
requesting two signs on the front (west) elevation of the building each and one
sign on the side (north) elevation of the building.
The sign package, showing location of the three requested wall signs, is
attached as Exhibit #4.
One wall sign measuring 150 square feet is permitted by Code. The applicant is
proposing one 72.39 square foot wall sign on the southerly-facing architectural
feature, a second 72.39 square foot wall sign on the northerly-facing architectural
feature and a third 84.90 square foot wall on the north (side) building elevation.
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has not received
any written or verbal citizen comments.
ANAL YSIS
Section 31-191 (g)(2)a. of the City Code regulates wall signs on retail buildings.
One wall sign per building is permitted, except two wall signs may be permitted
for corner or through locations. This is not a corner or through location. The
maximum size of the sign is one square foot for each one lineal foot of building
frontage. This building has a frontage of 150 lineal feet; therefore, one wall sign
at 150 square feet is permitted by Code.
The applicant requests approval to install three wall signs, two of which will be on
the front of the building and one on the side of the building, measuring an
aggregate of 229.68 square feet. The requested number of signs exceeds that
permitted by Code and the total square footage of all three wall signs at 229.68
square feet also exceeds the size that would be allowed by Code for one wall
sign.
The criteria for approval of sign variances are set out in Section 31-1910)(8) of
the City of Aventura Land Development Regulations, as follows:
"The Sign Variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of these
regulations; particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the
City and provided that the variance will be otherwise compatible with the
surrounding land uses and would not be detrimental to the community. No
showing of unnecessary hardship to the land is required. "
3
I. Signage on Front (West) Elevation of the Building
Two wall signs are proposed on the front (west) elevation of the building on an
angled architectural feature that was originally designed for sign placement. One
part of this architectural feature faces north and the other faces south. The total
area of the two proposed signs at 144.78 square feet does not exceed the
permitted size of 150 square feet for one wall sign at this location.
This request does preserve the unique character of the City and are not in
conflict with the basic intent and purpose of the sign code. The signs are
compatible with surrounding land uses, will not be detrimental to the community
and will effectively index the environment. The two signs will direct customers
approaching from both the north and south of the building.
II. Signage on Side (North) Elevation of the Building
The third wall sign requested does not meet the criteria for approval of sign
variance. It conflicts with the basic intent and purpose of the sign code. When
added to the two recommended wall signs on the front elevation, the sign area
exceeds the size permitted by Code for one sign. It does not enhance the
physical appearance of the community and contributes to visual pollution. The
identity and location of the proprietor is adequately identified by the two
recommended signs on the front elevation of the building. This third sign is not
required to effectively index the environment.
4
Letter of Intent:
By the granting of this variance it will serve in the public interest. We are requesting a
variance to install a sign on the side of the building which faces the parking lot, and two signs
on the front of the building. They are allowed one sign by code on the front.
This building has a very unique construction. There is a "peak" that was originally built to
accommodate two single face signs, one installed on each side of the peak. If code is followed
and only one is installed, it will detract from the appearance of the building and look very odd.
Carl's furniture had two signs on the peak. We are only requesting to replace what was
removed with the same thing identifying Filene's Basement.
Sincerely,
Erik Bonilla
GM Signs Inc.

The need to re-appropriate unspent capital accounts and to recognize the actual fund
balances at September 30, 2007 to the 2007/08 budget was also discussed in my
memorandum dated March 28th which was distributed to the Commission along with the

MEMORANDUM
BY: Joanne Carr, AIC
Planning Director
TO: City Commission
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, IC
City Manager
DATE: December 6, 2007
REVISED: March 24, 2008
SUBJECT: Establishment of a Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee and Schedule of
Fees for Development Activity to support mobility within the City of Aventura
(01-IFS-07)
January 8, 2008 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item 4C
1st Reading January 8, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 7C
2nd Reading April 8, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item q-G
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt an ordinance to establish a
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee and schedule of fees for Development Activity to
support mobility within the City.
THE REQUEST
City staff is requesting adoption of an ordinance to establish a Transportation Mitigation
Impact Fee and schedule of fees for Development Activity to support mobility within the
City.
BACKGROUND
Sections 163.3177 and 163.3180 of the Florida Statutes enact transportation concurrency,
which provides that public facilities and services needed to support development shall be
available concurrent with the impacts of development. The legislature recognized,
however, that there are areas where construction of new or expanded roadways is not
possible. This is particularly true of Aventura; the City is a compact, high density, regional
destination community nearing build-out that lacks parallel roadway facilities to provide
relief to heavily congested and constrained corridors. The legislature therefore made
provision for exceptions to transportation concurrency called Transportation Concurrency
Exception Areas. In these exception areas, the development may not be required to
demonstrate compliance with Level of Service Standards for roads if the development is
otherwise consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, is a project that promotes public
transportation or is within an area designated for urban infill development and the local
government has adopted into its Comprehensive Plan strategies to support and fund
mobility within the exception area.
All property within the municipal boundaries of the City of Aventura was designated as a
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area through adoption of its Comprehensive Plan
in December of 1998. The City has adopted into its Comprehensive Plan strategies to
support and fund mobility.
Policy 1.12 of Objective 1 of the Transportation Element in our Comprehensive Plan states
that, by 2007 or at the earliest feasible date, the City will develop impact fees and other
methods by which developers can mitigate impacts to our transportation system by
contributing funds for alternative modes of transportation, particularly the expansion,
operation and maintenance of our Aventura Express bus service. (2005 EAR based
amendments approved January 9, 2007)
Since approval of the EAR based amendments, City staff has been working with Dr.
James Nicholas, the consultant selected to prepare a Transit Impact Fee Study to satisfy
the comprehensive plan policy. Dr. Nicholas has extensive experience with impact fees
and impact fee studies. The Impact Fee Study entitled "A Program of Transportation
Mitigation" dated August 15, 2007 was attached to the staff report dated December 6,
2007.
The Transportation Mitigation Study found that the City of Aventura can accommodate the
mobility needs of new development by the expansion of the Aventura Express service with
the payment of a transportation mitigation impact fee and recommends that the City adopt
such a fee to support mobility in the City through the use of mass transit. The following
table of fees was recommended, according to type of use:

The ordinance was approved on first reading by the City Commission on January 8, 2008.
At that meeting, one member of the public representing the Builders' Association
expressed concerns with the purpose of the proposed fee. Following the January 8,2008
public hearing, staff held a meeting with interested parties to further discuss the concerns.
The consultant has revised the study in response to discussion at the interested parties'
meeting. He has updated the data to be consistent with the 2007 tax rolls, has added a
new Tourist Accommodation land use category, has increased the discount rate in
response to increasing interest rates and has made a 15% reduction in the calculated
amounts to provide a conservative fee. The revised Transportation Mitigation Study dated
March 13, 2008 is attached. The revised table of fees is recommended as follows:
TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION FEE PER UNIT
CITY OF AVENTURA
Land Use (Unit of Measure) Persons per Revised Cost per Revised Cost per Unit of
Unit of Measure Unit of Measure Measure + 15% Reduction
Residence per Dwellinq 0.972 $944.76 $803.05
Office per 1,000 FP 1.557 $1,513.63 $1,286.59
Retail oer 1,000 FP 2.175 $2,114.50 $1,797.33
Tourist Accommodation per 1,000 FP 2.720 $2,643.79 $2,247.22
Industrial per 1,000 FP 1.319 $1,281.59 $1,089.35
Institutional per 1,000 FP 2.312 $2,247.17 $1,910.09
The new Tourist Accommodation category has been added. This use is separated from
the retail category because a hotel use may generate more riders of the Aventura Express
service than retail, since many vacationers do not bring their personal vehicles.
Due to the current economic slowdown and to allow developers in our City to plan for this
new impact fee, staff is recommending that the effective date of the new transportation
mitigation impact fee be January 1, 2009.

The City expects to continue to fund its existing service for the Aventura Express, with 51%
of the cost continuing to be borne by the County and the rest by the City. As sufficient funds
are collected, the proceeds of the fee will be used to fund expansion of service, including
additional buses, increased hours of operation and more frequent headways. The
ordinance provides for exemptions from the fee for alterations, expansion or replacement of
existing buildings where the use is not changed and the number of dwelling units or square
footage is not increased. Government and public facilities used for governmental purposes
are exempt from the fee including Federal, State, County, City, School Board and Waste
Management facilities. All funds collected will be accounted for in the Transportation and
Street Maintenance Fund. There is a provision for refund of certain fee revenues in the
event that the City discontinues its provision of transit services.
Following discussion at the March 20, 2008 City Commission workshop meeting, the
ordinance has been revised to provide that the impact fee will be reviewed and assessed at
least every three years, with the first review to be made no later than January 1, 2011.
Provision has been added in the impact fee computation formula to give an applicant the
option of preparing a study to identify a more precise calculation of the impact of his or her
proposed Development Activity on the City's Circulator System. The effective date of the
ordinance has been changed to January 1, 2009.
Interested parties at the workshop meeting requested that the City review the economic
conditions prior to the proposed effective date of the ordinance. Staff will schedule a
meeting with those parties in early September, 2008 and will report to the results of that
meeting to the City Commission.
ANALYSIS
The establishment of impact fees is governed by Section 163.31801 of the Florida
Statutes. The attached ordinance has been drafted to comply with the provisions of that
Section, and the case law governing impact fees in the state of Florida. The calculation of
the impact fee is based on the most recent and localized data, provision is made for
accounting and reporting of impact fee collections and expenditures through the
Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund and published notice will be provided no less
than 90 days before the effective date of the ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. That the above recitals are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. City Code Amended. That the City Code of the City of
Aventura is hereby amended by amending Chapter 2 "Administration"; Article IV
"Finance"; Division 5 "Impact Fees"; by creating Section 2-302 "Transportation
Mitigation Impact Fee" to read as follows:
"Sec. 2-302. Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee.
(a) Impact Fee; In General.
1. This Section is intended to support and fund mobility within the City's
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area by collecting a transportation
mitigation impact fee (the "Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee") to allow the
expansion, operation and maintenance of the City's Circulator System, also
known as the Aventura Express, or as it may be renamed in the future or any
similar future transit system (the "Circulator System").
3
Ordinance No. 2008-_
Page 4
2. In construing the provIsions of Section 2-302, the pertinent definitions
contained in Section 2-301 (b) shall apply unless otherwise provided.
3. Any application for a Building Permit for Development Activity, as defined in
Section 2-301 (b), within the corporate limits of the City shall be subject to the
assessment of a Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee in the manner and amount
set forth in this Section. No Building Permit shall be issued by the City until the
applicant has paid the assessed Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee as
calculated pursuant to this Section.
4. Notwithstanding payment of the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees
pursuant to this Section, other state and local regulations may limit the issuance
of a Building Permit.
5. In the event Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees are paid prior to or
concurrent with the issuance of a Building Permit and subsequently, the Building
Permit is amended, the applicant shall pay the Transportation Mitigation Impact
Fee in effect at the time the amended Building Permit is issued with credit being
given for the previous fee paid.
6. In the case of Development Activity involving a change of use, redevelopment
or expansion or modification of an existing use on site which requires issuance of
a Building Permit, the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee shall be based on
the net increase in the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee for the new use as
compared with the use in effect on the effective date of this Section.
7. If a Building Permit is cancelled without development commencing, then the
applicant who paid the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee shall be entitled to a
refund, without interest, of the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee paid except
that the City shall retain three percent (3%) of the fee to offset a portion of the
costs of collection and refund. The applicant who paid the Transportation
Mitigation Impact Fee shall submit an application for such a refund to the City
4
Ordinance No. 2008-
Page 5
Manager or his designee within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the order or
permit, or thereafter be deemed to waive any right to a refund.
8. In the event the Circulator System is discontinued by action of the City
Commission, or if the City fails to use or encumber any existing funds by the end
of the calendar quarter immediately following ten (10) years from the effective
date of this Section, upon application of the then current fee simple title holder,
funds may be returned to such title holder, without interest, provided that the title
holder submits an application for a refund to the City Manager or his designee
within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the expiration of the ten (10) year
period. However, this section shall not apply to Development of Regional Impact
or any development with phased or long term build out. Any claim not so timely
made shall be deemed waived.
9. Funds shall be deemed expended for the purposes of this Section when a
contract, agreement or purchase order encumbering all or a portion of the
payment of said funds shall be approved by final City action.
(b) Impact Fee Computation Formula.
1. The applicant shall pay a Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee amount based
on the formula set forth in the table below or as it may be amended by Ordinance
of the City Commission. The fee shall be collected by the Community
Development Department prior to issuance of a Building Permit for Development
Activity. Such fee will be based on the cost required to serve the increased
demand for use of the Circulator System resulting from the proposed new
Development Activity. The formula to be used to calculate the Transportation
Mitigation Impact Fee is established as follows for each property use:
Persons
per Unit
of
Measure
0.972
1.557
Fee per Unit
of Measure
Land Use (Unit of
Measure)
$803.05
$1,286.59

Ordinance No. 2008-_
Page 6
2.175 $1,797.33
2.720 $2,247.22
1.319 $1,089.35
2.312 $1,910.09
2. The fee per Residential Dwelling Unit or fee per thousand nonresidential
square feet shall be multiplied by the applicant's total number of dwelling units for
residential property or total number of thousands of square feet for nonresidential
property. The total will then be multiplied by 1.03 for a general administrative
charge of three (3%) percent. The resulting total is the Transportation Mitigation
Impact Fee and administrative charge, which amount shall be paid by the
applicant.
3. An applicant may choose to prepare a study to identify a more precise
calculation of the impact of his or her proposed Development Activity on the City's
Circulator System. If the applicant chooses this option, the applicant shall prepare
and submit to the City Manager an Alternative Transportation Mitigation Impact
Fee Calculation Study (the "Alternative Fee Study"), containing professionally
accepted methodologies and formats as well as traffic, engineering, occupancy
and other documentation in support of the basis upon which the alternative
calculation was determined. The Alternative Fee Study shall be prepared and
presented by professionals qualified in their respective fields and employ methods
recognized within those respective fields. The City Manager shall consider the
Alternative Fee Study submitted by the applicant, but is not required to accept
such documentation if he believes the information to be inaccurate or not reliable.
In this case, the City Manager may require the applicant to submit additional or a
different Alternative Fee Study for consideration. If an acceptable Alternative Fee
Study is not presented, the applicant shall pay the Transportation Mitigation Impact
Fee based upon the schedules shown in paragraph 1 of this section. If the City
Manager approves a Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee in an amount other than
6
Ordinance No. 2008-_
Page 7
that determined by the Alternative Fee Study, the applicant may appeal the City
Manager's decision to the City Commission by filing a written request with the City
Clerk within ten (10) days of the date of the City Manager's decision.
4. In the ~ase of Development Activity involving a change of use or magnitude of
use for which a Building Permit is required, the proposed development shall be
required to pay a Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee only for the increase in use
of the Circulator System resulting from new Development Activity. The
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee shall be the difference between the
computed Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee for the proposed Development
Activity and the computed Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee for the existing
Development Activity. Any Building Permit which expires or is revoked after the
effective date of this Section and for which a fee has not previously been paid
under this Section shall be required to comply with the provisions herein. No
refunds will be given for proposed development activity resulting in a negative fee
calcu lation.
5. If the type of activity within a proposed or current development is not specified,
the City Manager or his designee shall use the activity most nearly comparable
that will result in payment of a fair and equitable Transportation Mitigation Impact
Fee.
6. In determining existing Development Activity and the units or thousands of
square feet of proposed or existing development, the Community Development
Department shall use the Building Permit and the Certificate of Use information
contained in the building or zoning records of Miami-Dade County or the City.
(c) Impact Fee Exemptions.
1. Alteration, expansion or replacement of an existing building or residential
dwelling unit where the use is not changed and the number of residential dwelling
units or square footage is not increased shall not be subject to the Transportation
Mitigation Impact Fee.
7
Ordinance No. 2008-_
Page 8
2. The burden of demonstrating the prevIous use or prevIous payment of a
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee shall be upon the applicant. In cases where
there is an existing use, any additional fees shall be based upon the alteration
and/or addition to the existing use.
3. Government or public facilities used for governmental purposes are exempt
from the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee, including those parcels, grounds,
buildings or structures owned by the federal government, State of Florida, Miami-
Dade County, the City, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools or the South
Florida Water Management District, including, but not limited to, governmental
offices, police and fire stations, airports, seaports, parking facilities, equipment
yards, sanitation facilities, water control structures, schools, parks and similar
facilities in or through which general government operations are conducted. It is
provided, however, that the following shall not be considered governmental or
public facilities and shall be subject to the provision of this Section: (1) privately
owned properties or facilities leased for governmental operations or activities and
privately owned charter schools; (2) public properties or facilities used for private
residential, commercial or industrial activities.
4. The construction of accessory buildings or structures is exempt where 1) the
use is not changed, 2) any additional impact on the Circulator System is negligible;
and 3) the number of residential dwelling units or square footage is not increased.
5. A building replacement meeting the requirements of the Florida Building Code,
(where such replacement is necessitated by partial destruction) and meeting the
requirements of the City's Land Development Regulations, is exempt.
6. Parking garages are exempt from the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee
when the structure is accessory to a primary use.
7. An exemption must be claimed by the applicant prior to paying the
Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee. Any exemption not so claimed prior to
payment shall be deemed to have been waived by the applicant.

A Program of Transportation
Mitigation
Prepared for the
City of Aventura
By
James C. Nicholas, PhD
March 13, 2008
Executive Summary
The City of Aventura wishes to consider an option to support the Transportation
Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), which is part of the Aventura Comprehensive
Plan. The City of Aventura is largely built-out with few if any opportunities to construct
new roads or to expand existing roads. While the opportunities to construct expanded
roadways is limited, there is a continuing need for additional mobility within Aventura to
meet the needs of residential and business developments in this City.
The City of Aventura has developed and provides a system of transit known as the
Aventura Express. This is a system of bus routes that is provided to residents and non-
residents alike without charge. The objective of the Aventura Express is to provide
mobility by means of busses and thus avoid the need to expand roadways or to suffer
increased traffic congestion in the absence of such roadway expansion.
Florida law requires that new developments achieve and maintain adequate levels of
transportation service as a prerequisite to development. This is commonly referred to
as "transportation concurrency." When this law was passed it was recognized that such
a policy would not be sensible in all situations. Aventura is one of those situations.
Accordingly, the entirety of the City of Aventura has been designated a TCEA.
The law requires local governments with TCEAs to develop means to support the
TCEAs that will promote public transit. The net effect is to allow developers to
contribute to public transit, and thus proceed with development, when achieving
transportation concurrency by traditional means is not possible or is impractical. Such a
program is presented herein.
This report finds that the City of Aventura can accommodate the mobility needs of new
developments by the expansion of the Aventura Express with the payment of a
transportation mitigation fee. The amounts of the fees for various land uses are shown
below. The recommended fee is reduced by 15% from the calculated cost per unit.
This reduction is recommended in order to be conservative in the amount of fees to be
implemented.
TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION FEE PER UNIT
CITY OF AVENTURA
land Use and Unit Persons Cost per Recommended

Residence per DwellinQ 0.972 $944.76 $803.05
Office per 1,000 FP 1.557 $1,513.63 $1,286.59

Institutional per 1,000 FP 2.312 $2,247.17 $1,910.09

These mitigation fees represent a proportionate share of the City's costs to extend
additional mobility to new development by means of the Aventura Express.
Therefore it is recommended that the City of Aventura move ahead to adopt the
calculated Transportation Mitigating Fees, the objective of which is to support mass
transit within the City of Aventura and thus support the City's policy of transportation
concurrency exception.
It is further recommended that all Transportation Mitigation Fees collected be
deposited into a restricted trust fund. The earnings from this trust fund would be
annually appropriated towards the costs of expanding Circulator service within the
City of Aventura to accommodate new development.

A. The Need for Movement
The City of Aventura is facing increased demand for movement. This characteristic is
shared with many other communities. What is different about Aventura is that it is
geographically small, densely developed, is approaching build-out, has few parallel
transportation routes and is the site of a major regional commercial and recreational
center. While many share the individual characteristics, few of any share all of those
characteristics. Thus Aventura must accommodate the increased demand for
movement within the context of being small, dense, and built-out.
Progress requires the ability to move people and goods through economic space.
Within a 21st Century United States, the accommodation of additional movement
involves providing infrastructure for additional vehicular traffic. The fact that this is a
common means of accommodating the need for movement does not mean that it is the
only means or that it is necessarily the best means.
Adam Smith pointed out that the wealth of nations would result from the unrestrained
interplay of the forces of supply and demand.1 He built upon the pioneering work of a
school of philosophers known as the French Physiocrats.2 The Physiocrats are the
ones that gave the world the maxim:
"laissez {aire, laissez aller, laissez passer."
Translated, this means "let do, let go, let pass." Many have chosen to interpret this to
simply mean that government should leave businesses alone to make the products that
they wish. However, the issue of movement is prominent. The broader interpretation is
to allow things - goods, services, and people - to move about and to pass (through).
Dr. Smith popularized this in English when he advised that the "division of labour is
limited by the extent of the market.,,3 Smith was focusing here on the great economic
importance of the ability to move goods and people and that the extent of economic
development in limited by the relative ability to move goods and people. Movement of
goods and people is essential to economic prosperity or, as Adam Smith put it, to the
wealth of nations.
In the United States there have been ~reat public investments in all forms of
transportation. The canals of the early 19 h century were followed by rail roads that
opened up the nation. The dominant forms of transportation in the 20th Century have
been highways and air. These investments were funded by all levels of governments;

Economique, in 1759.

federal, state and local. The result has been unprecedented economic growth and
prosperity. The nature and form of transportation has changed over time. One would
expect for this change to continue in the future.
While the means and technology of transportation have changed, one thing that has not
changed is the critical need for the movement of people and goods. If goods or people
cannot be efficiently moved, prosperity will wane and eventually cease. One of the
roles of planning is to identify a community's need for mobility and to meet those needs
in a timely and efficient manner. For much of urban American the need for movement
has been served with streets and highways. Increasingly alternative means of providing
movement are being sought and provided. Public transit together with non-vehicular
modes are being proposed as the cost and the consequences of the tradition streets
and highways solutions rise and become unacceptable.
B. The Need for Transportation in Florida
The State of Florida recognizes the integral role that the ability to move goods and
people plays in the economic success of the state and places within the state.
Accordingly, the Legislature enacted "transportation concurrency" into law;
"It is the intent of the Legislature that public facilities and services
needed to support development shall be available concurrent with the
impacts of such development. . .4
There are five public services subject to mandatory concurrency:
. Water supply and sewer service;
. Drainage
. Solid waste collection and disposal;
. Parks and recreation;
. Public schools;5 and
. Transportation.
These facilities must be adequately provided if development is to be allowed to
proceed. In many instances the attainment of transportation concurrency is achieved
through the construction or expansion of streets and highways. However, there are
frequent instances where the construction of new or expanded roadways is not possible
or is impractical. The Legislature foresaw such instances:
4 Chapter 163.3180(1 )(a), Florida Statutes.
5 Not effective until July 208.
Transportation Mitigation Fee
March 13, 2008
Page 4
(5)(a) The Legislature finds that under limited circumstances dealing with
transportation facilities, countervailing planning and public policy goals may
come into conflict with the requirement that adequate public facilities and
services be available concurrent with the impacts of such development. The
Legislature further finds that often the unintended result of the concurrency
requirement for transportation facilities is the discouragement of urban infill
development and redevelopment. Such unintended results directly conflict with
the goals and policies of the state comprehensive plan and the intent of this part.
Therefore, exceptions from the concurrency requirement for transportation
facilities may be granted as provided by this subsection.
(b) A local government may grant an exception from the concurrency
requirement for transportation facilities if the proposed development is otherwise
consistent with the adopted local government comprehensive plan and is a
project that promotes public transportation or is located within an area
designated in the comprehensive plan for:
1. Urban infill development. . .6
Aventura is one of the places where an alternative means of providing movement is
needed. There are few if any economically feasible street and highway options that will
accommodate additional vehicles on Aventura's streets. The City has been designated
a TCEA in 1998. Thus new developments within Aventura are exempt from the
concurrency provisions of the statute? However, the statute established the promotion
of public transportation as a prerequisite for such a concurrency exemption. In
response to this requirement, the City has proposed the following policies to support the
TCEA designation:
Policy 1.8. The City of Aventura shall continue to identify projects to support
and fund mobility, enhance alternative modes of transportation, and ensure
connectivity in its Capital Improvement Program. . ..8
Policy 1.9. The City of Aventura . . . shall evaluate the impact of proposed
development and redevelopment on its transportation system, Strategic Intermodal
System facilities, and the adopted level of service standards of transportation
facilities, and identify strategies to alleviate or mitigate such impacts in coordination
with the developer and other agencies as appropriate.9
6 163.3180, Florida Statutes.
7 While new developments in Aventura are exempted from transportation concurrency, developers are
required to make safety improvements, such as acceleration or deceleration lanes, or intersection

Policy 1.11. The City of Aventura shall, by ordinance, include proportionate fair
share mitigation options in its concurrency management program. . .. The intent of
these options is to provide for the mitigation of transportation impacts through
mechanisms that might include, but are not limited to, ~rivate funds, public funds,
contributions of land, and the contribution of facilities.1
Policy 1.12. By 2007, or at the earliest feasible date, the City of Aventura will
develop impact fees and other methods by which developers can mitigate impacts to
the transportation system by contributing funds for alternative modes of
transportation, particularly the expansion, operation and maintenance of the
Circulator System.11
The thrust of these policies is to permit new development to proceed while still
maintaining an appropriate level of transportation service by having developers
mitigating their impacts on traffic circulation within Aventura. This mitigation would be in
the form of contributing toward the Circulator System. The result would be that the
increased demand for mobility resulting from new development or redevelopment within
Aventura would be satisfied by the Circulator System rather than by expansion of
Aventura's streets and highways. Thus, Aventura proposes to support its policy of
transportation concurrency exception, and thus exempt new developments from
transportation concurrency, if those new developments promote public transportation by
payment of the mitigation fee.
The only means of public transportation currently known that can constitute an
alternative mode of transportation within Aventura is the Circulator System. Section
163.3180(5) provides a means for Aventura to structure a program of transportation
mitigation that will allow developments to proceed while also advancing the mobility of
the community. This Section provides that:
d) A local government shall establish guidelines in the comprehensive plan for granting
the exceptions . . . which must be consistent with and support a comprehensive strategy
adopted in the plan to promote the purpose of the exceptions.
(e) The local government shall adopt into the plan and implement strategies to support
and fund mobility within the designated exception area, including alternative modes of
transportation. The plan amendment shall also demonstrate how strategies will support
the purpose of the exception and how mobility within the designated exception area will be
provided.
The proposed changes to the Aventura Comprehensive Plan, cited above, are the
implementation strategies that are the prerequisite for the granting of transportation
concurrency exceptions. In order to implement these policies it is necessary to develop

and implement a program to support the TCEA. The following section will set out such
a program.
c. A Transportation Mitigation Program
The objective of an Aventura Transportation Mitigation Program is to support and fund
the City's Circulator System so that the Circulator System can satisfy the need for
enhanced mobility over time as the City continues to grow.
New residential and non-residential developments within Aventura will contribute to the
need for increased mobility. New residences will bring additional people that will live,
shop, recreate, and work in or around the City. Each of these activities will require
mobility. Additionally, new non-residential developments will attract additional
shoppers, employees, customers, and recreators to and within Aventura. Both types of
developments will cause a need for enhanced mobility.
A mitigation program will involve the payment of a fee that offsets the costs of
accommodating the mobility impacts of new residential and non-residential
developments with the Circulator System of the City of Aventura. The first step in
developing a mitigation fee is to quantitatively define the Circulator Service. Table 1
provides the first part of this definition. At present the Circulator System provides
360,360 passenger seats per year. These seats are provided within 5 routes, running
10 times per day on weekdays and 13 times on weekends.

The circulator System serves the residents of and visitors to Aventura. Our convention
in the United States is to define a population of a place, such as Aventura, as the
number of people who reside within the borders of that place. This definition is fine for
purposes of voting but it is not acceptable for purposes of defining a population of
people served by services such as police and fire protection, or by Aventura's Circulator
System. The population served by the Circulator System is the number of people within
Aventura no matter if they are permanent residents, seasonal residents, employees of
businesses or patrons of those businesses within Aventura. The population served is
the functional population. These people are served by the Circulator even if they don't
ride it. They are served by diverting those that do ride the busses out of their cars and
away from the streets, thereby creating capacity for those that prefer driving to riding a

bus. Additionally, businesses are served even if the owners of the businesses do not
ride the buses because the buses bring their employees and customers to and from
those places of business.
The function population of an area is the number of people than can be expected to be
present at businesses, residences, schools, parks, churches or the myriad of other
places that people go or congregate. The number of people within Aventura's
functional population is shown in Table 2. These are the people served by the City of
Aventura. At the peak, 40,336 people reside in Aventura, either permanently or
seasonally. There are an estimated 26,582 employees and customers within Aventura,
many of which are also the permanent or seasonal residents of the City. The total
number of persons within Aventura, peak season, is estimated to be 47,963. This
includes residents, tourists, employees, and customers. All of these people are served
by the circulator system.

Table 3 shows the derivation of the functional population. These calculations use
Miami-Dade County as the base for the calculations. Counties are used because
employment data is not reported for geographic areas smaller than counties. Vehicular
trip generation rates 12 are used to identify the total number of people present at a site.
Employment data are used to identify how many of those persons present are
employees, with the remainder being visitors. The ratios of persons per 1,000 feet of
floor area for Miami-Dade County are applied to non-residential floor area within
Aventura to estimate Aventura's functional population at non-residential areas.
Because many of the people present at and assigned to non-residential areas of
Aventura are the occupants of residences within Aventura, it is necessary to adjust the
population assigned to residences to avoid double counting those persons. This is

use; 1,000 square feet of floor area for non-residential developments and the dwelling
unit for residential developments. Recall that many of the residents of Aventura are
also the employees and patrons of the businesses within Aventura, thus the relatively
low functional population assigned to residences.

The daily and annual cost per seat for Circulator Service is shown in Table 5. The
annual cost from Table 5 is used to calculate a per capita cost, using functional
population, of the Circulator System for the present year and as a present value of
future years.

The level of service provided or expected to be provided in the future is 0.0206 seats
per capita per year. The costs shown in Table 7 are the costs of maintaining this level
of service as the City continues to develop,

The basic annual cost of $6,552 per seat is reduced by 51 % to reflect the allocation of
funds to Aventura's Circulator System from Miami-Dade County's Transit System
Surtax. The net cost to the City is $3,231 per seat per year. At a level of service of
0.0206 seats per capita, the cost per capita is $66.50 per year. This is a recurring cost
to be borne by the City as additional persons are added to Aventura's functional
population. The essence of a mitigation payment is that the developer would pay to the
City an amount that reflects the future costs to the City of providing increased
Circulator service as demand grows due to new development. This future cost is
expressed as a present value of $66.50 per capita per year for the next 25 years with a
discount rate of 4.64%. This present value is $972.

The Circulator System mitigation cost per unit of development and recommended fees
are shown in Table 8. The recommended fee is reduced by 15% from the calculated
cost. These fees, assessed as an alternative to transportation concurrency, should
recoup the City of Aventura's costs of meeting the need for mobility with the City's
Circulator System. The total costs to the City have been adjusted for the availability of
other funds to pay this cost. As such, the amounts shown represent a proportionate
share of the City of Aventura's costs of meeting the needs of additional residential and
non-residential development by means of the City's Circulator System.

Should the City adopt these mitigation fees, annual updates should be done based
upon the City's updated cost of providing the Circulator System.
Transportation Mitigation Fee

D. Implementation
Should the City proceed to enact a transportation mitigation fee, it should be
recognized that the City is requiring developers to make a present payment to cover
future costs of providing the Circulator service. The preferred way of implementing
such a program would be for the City to deposit all mitigation fees collected into a
trust fund and then annually appropriate the earnings from this fund to finance
growth of the Circulator system. In this way there is consistency between the
assumptions of the fee calculations and the use of the funds.
It is recommended that the City of Aventura enact a transportation mitigation fee that
is no greater than the amounts shown in Table 8 and that the fees collected be
deposited into a restricted trust fund, the earnings from which will be used solely to
fund the City's Circulator or successor system of mass transit.
It is recommended that the implementing ordinance provide for a refund of
mitigations fees in the event that the City ceases to provide some type of circulator
service. If the City of Aventura ever stops providing the Circulator service or a
service similar to the Circulator, the amounts on deposit in the trust fund should be
returned to the then current owners of the property for which the mitigation fee was
paid on a pro rata basis.
