Coupled with the master planning efforts for Miami Beach and through more than 66 hours of workshops and public meetings, we carefully evaluated design options to develop a Master Plan. -i his plan strikes a balance between functional requirements with the aesthetic improvements all under the umbrella of Historic Restoration. We are pleased \\ ith both the progress and the process of this study, and appreciate the time and interest many of you shared with us. We have recorded literally hundreds of individual comments, all of which were key to helping us identify your primary concerns for the future of the Venetian Catlsc\%ay. In addition to helping us design the best possible solution, these comments confirmed one very clear point, the final - recommended plan \\ ill not match with every individual's "perfect plan", but we will all know that we worked together to develop a solution that bast balances functional, aesthetic, and quality -of -life issues for your community. I his report is a user- Friendly summary of the study's process. It features conversational text, interesting photos and images, along with detailed illustrations of the Master Plan alternatives and related design concepts. We encourage you to take the time to study this document and provide us \\ ith am comments or questions you might have by returning the enclosed questionnaire at the end of this Master Plan.

Citi_en Comment E 1 E C U T I V I: S U PI M A R Y The approach used for planting, designing, and implementing the improvements to the Venetian Causeway and the Venetian Islands essentially consists of five steps within two phases: Phase 1 — Master Plan Step One: Situation Assessment. Step Two: Visioning, Program Development, and Plan Alternatives. Step Three: Documentation, Master Plan Finalization Step Four: Funding Phase 2 -- Implementation Step Five: Construction Documentation and Implementation. Phase I — Master Plan Step One served to identify relevant conditions with potential to influence the master plan. Upon completion of the situation assessment phase, a comprehensive list of desired program elements was developed and then served as tale basis for the preparation of master plan alternatives. The idea was to achieve as many of the desired program elements as possible within the established parameters of cost, permitability, constntctability, and relevance to other program elements. Within Step Two, by overlaying these parameters described in Step One onto the desired program, the planning team efficiently developed alternative plans for the project areas. This ensured that weak ideas were weeded out in favor of stronger alternatives that best met the program objectives and parameters. plan are once again evaluated for their cost, permitability, constructability, and relevance. Once the planning team is satisfied that the best overall master plan has been developed, it is presented to the appropriate agencies for their review and adoption. Within Step Four, the recommended improvements will be prioritized and funding alternatives developed. Phase 2 — Implementation Step Five will consist of preparing construction plans and documents for the actual implementation of improvements identified in the Nfaster Plan. The duration of this phase will depend on the final nature and extent of the improvements programmed and will be closely coordinated with area property owners and residents to minimize disruptions during the construction phase. ,*tat °f�0��ba n�a a rn �zmR sw.v a Ra�oaumua av m nurouc crmnunca �hc�icnrt-ian �t'7ttsrtt.itj tsfjr eational %tcr of Apfatorfc 4ttaas iJ'ffLTY■ The iChircnnth L^au of Jut} Ttinc am liunrrcb anb 6ght_y nine KRifONLL PA1L vdflVlc�� AIM Of TpS ORQi10� ♦AIi11ll..11W, n..

From the F.R.lackson Collection ❑ Specialty Paving •:• Decorative paving or other upgrades will be limited to use at major intersections or gateways to the individual islands along the Causeway and within the median breaks along Venetian Way within District 2 and the pedestrian areas in District 3. No specialty paving will occur along the interior road intersections within District One and Two. ❑ Traffic Control Devices •:• Standard mast -arm systems or pole mounted signal systems fashioned after "historical" fixtures will be utilized. •:• Signals on mast -arm systems will be double hung to minimize overall quantity and visual clutter. Regulatory signage will be uniform and will reflect the historical significance of the Causeway. 2 {� ON VENETIAN CAUSEWAY "People take pride in places that have a special identity. This identity may be due to some unique quality such as a view, a small creek, an old tree, or a particular house or garden that one of the residents has built or created... Residential streets should be destinations, not routes." Donald Apple yard "Livable Streets" i P R O T E C T S T U D Y A, R E A The study area for this Venetian Causeway Master Plan consists of the historic Causeway as well as the interior residential roads within each of the Miami Islands. The Venetian Causeway is the oldest causeway in all of South Florida and is one of the significant retraining historical landmarks from the early boom days of Miami's history. The project limits are defined by a western boundary of Bayshore Drive and eastern boundary corresponding with the Miami city limits. Within these boundaries our study will address roadway, utility, and beautification enhancements within the public rights -of -way, with the exception of' the physical bridge structures. We have divided the study area into three identifiable "districts." District 1 — San Marco Island District I is an entirely single-family island. San Marco is unique in that Venetian Way splits upon entering the island (from both the east and west - — -- ------ ---- - - directions) into a one-way loop. Originally, the roadways to the islands were platted without the separation of through traffic and local traffic. The Master Plan improvements will address how the entry roadway on the exterior portion of the island or "eyebrows" will focus their use to local residential traffic. The entire island is zoned residential (11-1). District 2—Biscayne Island Biscayne Island was the last of the Venetian Islands developed as a residential island. Prior to being developed as a residential island, Biscayne Island served predominantly as a local airport. The southside of the island is predominantly multi -family residential along with a linear waterfront park at the southwest corner of the island. The north side of the island is both single-family and multi -family residential. Zoning designations include residential (R-I and R-3) and park (PR) uses. District 3---Mianii Mainland District 3 is characterized by the presence of the historic icons that mark the entry to the Venetian Way. The area is zoned for a range of uses, including liberal commercial (C-2), central business district (CBD) and special district (SD) uses.

The design alternatives are addressed by district. The design for Vcnctian Way will remain as the unifying link (ietween the islands, as was the intent of the original design by William Lyman Phillips. :• Venetian way... The Causeway The concept for Venetian Way recreates the scenic by-Nvay that was originally conceived over 70 years ago. "file existing rights -of - way allow for sidewalks, landscape areas, and bike lanes private residence on on both sides of Venetian Way. the Vcnctian Islands As the right-of-way (ItOW) transitions on an island -to -island basis, from 55' to 100', a landscaped median is proposed within the 100' ROW section on Biscayne island. The median will be restricted by tite need for left -turns from Venetian Way on Biscayne island. ('See Section Foar [he following pages.) Features: ❖ Narrowed travel lane width to a "residential scale" thereby permitting the inclusion of bike lanes, expanded sidewalks, a landscape "verge," and a landscaped median. Sidewalks on both sides of the causeway to minimize pedestrian conflict and increase pedestrian mobility. •:• Planted landscape "verges" between the sidewalk and roadway. Continuous bike lanes on both sides of the causeway. Landscaped median to reestablish the scenic values of (lie causeway and visually narrow the corridor to act as a "traffic calming" feature. Textured "speed tables" at intersections and within the medians to help "calm traffic" and reinforce pedestrian movement. Pedestrian scale lighting on both sides of the roadway at 80, — 100, O.C. District One: San Marco island The typical cross-section for Venetian Way on San Marco island incorporates all of the features proposed within a 55' ROW. Because Venetian Way is a one-way loop, it can be thought of as a 110' ROW (with 55' in either direction.) The typical cross-section for the interior roads in District One maintains (2) 12' travel lanes, with the addition of a 2' valley curb as a component of the comprehensive drainage improvements, Venetian islands District Objectives: Addition of 5' sidewalks on Venetian Way. •:• (1) 12' travel lane (in each direction). Continuous bike lanes on both sides of the causeway. ❖ Increased landscape and pedestrian areas. Maintain and "harmonize" existing landscape adjacent to ROW.

The median will transition from a landscaped median to a left turn lane incorporating decorative pavers to maintain the necessary traffic patterns to the residential properties. The typical cross-section for North Venetian Drive maintains the existing (2) 10' travel lanes and 2' valley curb. District Objectives: Continuous 5' sidewalks on both sides of Venetian Way. (1) 11' travel lane (in each direction). Continuous bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. Reduction of traffic speed through a reduction of lanes and the utilization of traffic calming devices. °:• Increased landscape and pedestrian areas. •:• Landscaped median to enhance the scenic quality of the causeway.

District Three: The typical cross-section for 15'4 Street (from the western entry of the Venetian Causeway to Bayshore Drive) incorporates many of the same features as Venetian Way. The travel lanes are narrowed, to accommodate bike lanes and wide pedestrian zones on both sides. The parallel parking will be maintained on both sides along with landscape knuckles to improve the pedestrian mobility withing the district. District Objectives: Continuous pedestrian boulevards with "drifts" of coconut palms, building upon the improvements made at the southwest corner of Bayshore. One (1) 11' travel lane (in each direction). One (1) 11' bi-directional left -turn lane (to adjacent developments and sorthbound to Bayshore Drive). •:• One (1) 11' right -turn lane (to northbound Bayshore Drivc).

Proposed planting for Venetian Way. Above drawings by William Lyman Phillips are from the F.R. Jackson Collection. 21 L A N I) S C A P I? A. L T I, R N A T I V E S The beautiful Venetian Way is one the most famous historic roadways in the United States. The image of Coconut Palms perched over the bay and lush tropical flowers blanketing the landscape was once synonymous with the Venetian Causeway. The time has come to reestablish that image. Through research and interviews with local historians and plant experts, we created a "Master Plant Palette" of plant material that was common to the area at the time of the causeway's original design. From this palette a district - wide landscape alternative chart addressing the planting options by district was created. (far right) What is important to remember is that implementing the original design concepts takes precedence over actual plant selection in a historic landscape restoration. For example, the original design used Melaleuca, which is now illegal to plant in Florida. By selecting flowering trees of similar size and habit as a substitution for the Melaleuca, the original design intent will be maintained while working within modern day parameters. The concept of the original design was a tropical landscape, heavily planted with a variety of flowering shrubs and Coconut palms. krrx✓Sir+SF�l�4d7`►Jrt.=—.�oa�r�'�t:Yz= qv✓nrrJt'i._ • / jnetor�+ Oo/u( ra Jcuida Nr,S•e _.—_ � __ r .Y..1ur«. f. /.8rrw /'/ali•c -- I l p ,/e.lri?ra ✓,J4,1— i t. jrr Ter _ 1 C—J/ - Jt 7B ,/�nr irrrirr .

Within the existing 55' right-of-way we have reduced the excess pavement and used this area to provide bike lanes, sidewalks and landscape areas. The reconfiguration of the roadway provides a single travel lane with curb and gutter. The southern lane is converted to landscape areas combined with parallel parking. All utility lines have been buried and the metal guardrails have been removed. The historic light poles will provide lighting at a pedestrian level.

Within the existing 100' right-of-way we have reduced the road profile to one travel lane in each direction separated by a 15' landscaped median. Bike lanes, sidewalks, historic lighting and landscape areas are on both sides of Venetian Way. The breaks in the median. (alloying for left turns) are accented by a textured material which serves' as a traffic -calming feature and provides visual interest. All utility lines have been buried.

The gravity collection system was constructed in the same era as the system in Miami Beach. The materials utilized in construction of the collection system are predominately vitrified clay pipe and brick and mortar manholes. There are several factors that need to be considered while evaluating the impacts that the existing gravity collection system may have on the overall implementation of the Venetian Islands Masterplan. The age, construction materials, and groundwater elevations may be adding to the existing Inflow/Infiltration (1/I) problems that Miami - Dade County is currently experiencing. The gravity collection system within the Miami Beach section of the Venetian Islands was evaluated for LEI and there were several locations that required rehabilitation. Associated with the rehabilitation of the gravity collection system are the possibilities of spot repairs to allow the insertion of liners. Spot repairs require the digging up of the streets. Any excavation of the streets should be conducted as a part of (or prior to) the implementation of the streetscape improvements associated with the masterplan. Miami -Dade County is currently implementing an I/1 reduction program. The Miami side of the Venetian Islands has been evaluated by Miami -Dade County as part of the implementation of their I/I program. LJ The gravity collection system discharges into pump stations on both Biscayne (pump station #58)and San Marco Islands (pump station # 57). The flows from San Marco Island are pumped to tl,e pump station on Biscayne Island through a force main. Here the flows are combined and pumped to the mainland where they ultimately are treated at the Virginia Key wastewater treatment plant. We understand that new sections of force main have been recently constructed on both San Marco and Biscayne Islands. If there is any additional force main or pump station work that needs to be completed, this needs to be scheduled as a part of (or prior to) the implementation of the streetscape program Water Distribution System Tile existing water distribution system in the project areas are owned and operated by Miami -Dade County. The existing system consists of mainly cast iron pipe of various sizes. We are not aware of any flow testing that has been currently conducted on any of the water mains in the project area. Flow tests were performed on the Miami Beach side of the Venetian Islands. The water distribution system on the Miami Beach side is made of the same material, was constructed in tine same era, and is the same size for the majority of the system as the Miami system. With these common elements, we can generally conclude that the Miami water distribution system will require some upgrades as does the Miami Beach system. In addition to upgrading the system for flow capacity, any upgrades to services should be made also. Issues such as lead service replacements and meter change outs should be addressed as part of (or prior to) the implementation of the streetscape program.

This work needs to occur as part of (or prior to) the strectscape project to avoid digging up a street that has been recently reconstructed. The sanitary sewer collection system has been evaluated by Miami -Dade Count, and recommendations have been made for the associated rehabilitation. These rehabilitation improvements need to be implemented. Additional coordination nred to occur with Miami -Dade County regarding the force main and water main facilities within the project area. A flow test needs to be performed to evaluate the capacity of the existing water stains. Any additional force main work that is scheduled in the project area needs to be coordinated within the overall program. Ultimately, there needs to be a coordinated effort to sequence the testing, design, and construction of the water and sewer improvements along with the strectscape improvements. The overall objective would be to have the improvements constructed in such a manner that would provide the least amount of inconvenience to the residents and be the most cost effective to the owners. Depending on the volume of water and sewer work that is ultimately determined necessary, there may be the opportunity to combine the water, sewer, and streetscape projects and save money. Stormwater Drainage System Existing Condilions Both San Marco and Biscayne Islands have their own independent drainage systems. These systems generally LU . consist of several inlets which are connected by pipes and discharge directly into the Biscayne l3ay. There is currently no slorntwater quality treatment provided on either island, The existing drainage systems for each island are outlined below: San Marco Island: Twclve (12) systems with twelve (12) outfalis Biscayne Island Six (6) systems with six (6) outfalls The final dcsign of the appropriate stormwatcr drainage system for each island is contiugcnt upon a number of design issues not yet established. These items would include final grading and finished elevations of the roadways, DORM permit requirements (%which will be negotiated during the design phase), and final typical section configuration. Until the final design of the proposed drainage system is completed, our opinion of probable cost is based upon meeting water quality requirements for the right of way only on a per island basis. The current typical section for the proposed improvements will reduce the current amount of impervious area on each island. With the assumption that the majority of the pollutants that are being discharged into the Biscayne Bay are coming from the roadway surface, one could claim that the proposed project would improve the water quality of the storniwater that was currently being discharged. It has been our experience that DPRM recognizes the improved %water quality associated with these projects but will still require additional water quality measures. Typically, the additional water quality measures require providing treatment for the first inch of rainfall that falls within the right of way. We propose the use of pollution control boxes and drainage wells to satisfy this requirement. 32 DON i VENETIAN CAUSEWAY I M P L E M I: N T A T 1 0 N I S S U Ii S An initial review of the existing elevations on both islands provided an initial indication of the effectiveness of the proposed stormwater quality improvements. The elevation of the existing inlet and roadway elevations were reviewed and compared to the estimated ground water elevations. The difference between the inlet and roadway elevations and the estimated groundwater elevations provide the available head that will be used to inject the stormwater into the proposed wells. The only location on either island where there may be a problem utilizing the stormwater drainage wells was in the middle of San Marco Island. Some type of compromise will need to be negotiated with D1 RM regarding the stormwater quality in this location. The need to provide for the timely removal of stormwater from the streets (stormwater quantity) is another high priority issue. The new drainage system must provide both stormwater quality and quantity improvements. The stormwater quantity improvements will nrovide a higher level of service to the residents of the islands. The installation of the stormwater drainage wells will, in addition to providing stormwater quality, provide additional stormwater quantity capacity. Summary of anticipated quantities is as follows: & C O S T S During this study we assumed that the drainage areas along the Miami Mainland were currently meeting water quality standards. Therefore, no stormwater drainage wells were estimated for this area of the project. Conclusions The final configuration of the drainage system will be determined during the design phase of the project. There will be several negotiating meetings with the regulatory agencies prior to the ultimate design configuration. Our intent during this phase of the project is to provide an opinion of probable construction cost that can be utilized for budgetary purposes. Ultimately, the drainage system configuration will have to be approved by the regulatory agencies. Depending on the results of the negotiations with the regulatory agencies, the overall cost of the drainage system improvements may Fluctuate.

The estimates have been categorized by scope of work and trenching options. There are three different options for the FPL. BellSouth and CATV conversions to be completed. Estimate l: FPL provides joint trenching and conduit for Bellsouth and CATV : Estimate 2: FPL to trench and install the conduit for FPL only Estimate 3: The City to install the trenching and conduit, using an FPL approv--d contractor under FPL supervision (this option is shown on the following opinion of probable cost and represents the improvements within the City of Miami Beach on1.0 Individual residence's electrical service entrances will have to be rearranged at the owner's expense to accept connection from underground facilities, and for the service conduit to be installed in a timely manner. This may also require electrical work for the dwellings to meet current code requirements. The estimates are also known as "Contribution -in -aid -of- construction" (CIAC) for converting overhead electrical distribution facilities to underground. The CIAC shall be determined according to the following formula: CIAC = (UG + NBV + R) — (OH + SV) (see FPL documents for description offormula) 92 Opinion of Probable Cost Assumptions :• Architectural/Engineering Fees are based on the improvements as presented within the Venetian Causeway Master Plan dated September 1998. Costs are in 1998 dollars, and include allocations for project contingencies Some improvements may encompass more than one District or sub -category due to the nature or extent of the improvements. Therefore, to identify costs by District and category, those items have been based on the outlined linear footages.

Traffic Signals Improvements assume the replacement of existing span wire traffic signals with a steel mast arm traffic signal installation or one that would reflect a historic post mounted traffic system. Water :• Fire flow tests and other data has not been performed on the system by Miami -Dade County, therefore assumptions were made that the system is in a similar condition as the Miami Beach system. Reflected construction costs are extrapolated from those derived from iile Miami Beach Master Plan. I S S U E S & C O S T S Beautification Gateway improvements assume low monument walls at neighborhood entries off the Venetian Causeway and supporting trees, shrubs and groundcover. Intersection improvements assume a paver field +within the crosswalks and associated pedestrian areas. Lighting improvements assume that FPL will provide service to decorative pedestrian and roadway fixtures. The costs allow for an upgrade above what FPL %kill provide under their standard pole and luminaire selections. Lighting is intended to be placed at a spacing of 75 foot intervals (along the curb face) for the Causeway and 80-100 foot intervals for the interior roads. This category allows for landscape lighting at overall project gateways and median locations. Landscape improvements assume the installation of major street trees within the interior roads (formally or informally as shown or, the typical sections) at 30-50 foot intervals (along the curb face) based on tite type of tree (refer to landscape alternatives). The causeway plantings Utilities assume an informal streetscape planting of coconut palms, :- Costs include information as provided by FPL on June canopy trees and ornamental understory plantings 30, 1997 outlined within their document as Estimate approximately 20 feet from edge of pavement. 93, which includes the costs associated with the City :• Improvements within the Biscayne island Park area to install the trenching and conduit, using an FPL- assume landscaping, gateway arbors, low walls similar a) approved contractor under FPL supervision. the bridge railings, landscape and pedestrian lighting. fit some instances, FPL did not provide a breakdown that related to the Master Plan districts.
