BACKGROUND The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT have agreed to lease the available space (air rights) under I-95 and 1-395 that is currently adjacent to the SEO/PW CRA boundaries for public use purposes of the CRA Redevelopment Plan to the extent permitted under the City and County Interlocal Agreement. The terms of the lease will include the requirement that the boundaries of the 1-95 and 1-395 adjacent to the SEO/PW CRA be added, as necessary for the above leasing, to the Redevelopment Area of the SEO/PW CRA pursuant to Section 163. 361 of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. (It is the intent of the CRA to make at the same time several minor additions to the.boundaries of the OMNI and the SEO/PW CRA. See Additions A, B and C showing the areas in which the boundaries of the OMNI and the CRA would be extended into but not necessarily all of such area. (See the attached Maps,) If the ]eased air rights are managed by the CRA directly or indirectly under a management agreement for the purposes of the redevelopment plan the DOT will lease the air rights for$1.00 per year and will waive any requirement of competitive bidding for the subject leased space.

JUL 24 2000 13:13 3053724646 PAGE.02 01/24/2000 MO\ 11:56 FAX 3053724646 C0 003/007 MEETING WITH FLORIDA DOT 7-19-00 This is a recap of a meeting held at the Florida Department of Transportation District Office, Miami, Florida on Thursday, July 13, 2000. Participants were Richard Judy, Director of the City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Ms. Chelsa Arscott of CRA, and Robert F. Cochrane, Jr., Property Management Administrator, DOT. Mr. Judy identified a number of areas located under elevated sections of Interstate Highway 95 and 395, which CRA was interested in leasing for parking and storage purposes. Cochrane advised at hat these roads were on the Interstate Highway System and as such were subject to federal regulations regarding leases. A major requirement is that such lands must be made available to all interested parties. This is done by public bid after appropriate advertising. Mr. Judy asked if it wasn't true that governmental agencies could acquire such leases at nominal cost, without bidding, if such leases were for a public purpose. A discussion followed concerning the existing leases between DOT and the City for space under I-95 elsewhere in the city. These leases, made in the 1960s and 1970s were made under totally different state and federal outlines. They were made directly with the City for S 1.00 per year for forty (40) years. The stated purpose was to develop the lands under the expressway into parking lots to be operated by the City Offstreet Parking Authority. The City has constructed and maintained pay parking lots on the various leased properties since each lease went into effect. Cochrane stated that DOT is interested in developing and income from the properties now under consideration. This is another motivation DOT has to open bids to the public. DOT has received queries from at least two private entities inquiring if the under - expressway lands were for rent. Cochrane also cautioned Mr. Judy and Ms. Arscott regarding the parking capacity of the properties. The sections of I-95 currently developed with parking lots are relatively straight lengths of highway of relatively uniform height above grades. The supporting columns are arranged in uniform sets. The Offstreet Parking Authority was able to design driveways and parking spaces around the columns easily to develop maximum capacity. The part of 1-395 under consideration is a curving section of road with varying heights gradually descending from full -elevated height to grade at Biscayne Boulevard. This has resulted in placement of columns, which are not as uniform as those under most of I-95.
