SUBJECT: Authorizing Agreement for
Urban Design Consultant
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES: (For City Commission
Meeting of June 8, 1999)
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution
authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the consulting firm of
Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn (EEK) Architects in an amount not to exceed $40,000
allocated from the Blue Ribbon Initiatives Fund, Account Code 660101-270, in order to
allow the Planning Department to work with said consulting firm to prepare Urban
Design Guides and Standards for Dinner Key.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The attached request was the result of a "Request for Letters of Interest" which the
Planning Department initiated in order to seek qualified consultants to assist the City in
the preparation of Urban Design Guides and Standards to be used for the redevelopment
of Dinner Key. The Dinner Key area is a very unique and sensitive component of the
Coconut Grove Waterfront. Its redevelopment plan needs to include Design Guides and
Standards in order to ensure that the character of Coconut Grove is maintained and
enhanced. The development of these design standards will provide the framework for a
project to be developed which will respond to its surrounding and will contribute to the
Coconut Grove neighborhood and its waterfront.
The firm of Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn (EEK) Architects was selected from a list of
four (4) firms which responded to the request. The Administration is recommending this
firm because of their extensive experience and qualifications in the field of waterfront
planning and design.
Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn's experience in waterfront planning and development is
extensive in both the public and private sectors. EEK has been involved in the planning
and design of some of the most important public and private waterfront projects in the
country. Their waterfront projects include harbors, marinas, esplanades, public spaces
including parks and cruise ship facilities. Several of the projects include, Battery Park

ty,�
City, Baltimore Inner Harbor Bast, Queensway Bay in Long Beach and Charleston, South
Carolina as well as major waterfront plans for Yonkers, N.Y., San Juan, Puerto Rico,
Trenton, N.J., and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
This firm meets all the design qualifications we believe are important as we embark in the
development of the Dinner Key Waterfront site.
Based on the above, the Planning Department is recommending that the proposed
Resolution be approved as presented.

Re: Coconut Grove Waterfront
Dear Dena Bianchino:
RECEIVED
MAR 2 z t-,IV
We are pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Miami for master planning
and urban design services for the Coconut Grove Waterfront. This project is, a
great opportunity for urban place making and an important resource for adding
new revenues to the city.
We understand your needs to be a plan that will:
• Build upon the extensive work the City of Miami has already completed and
produce a conceptual plan for including in a RFP, soon to be released;
• Reinforces a vision that will rally support and provide the inspiration that will
overcome the very difficult process of reaching agreement on a multitude of
technical and regulatory constraints;
• Fit into the existing city context and be sure that future development reflects
Coconut Grove and the city of Miami's, and its traditions of city buildings- its
streets, open spaces and its buildings;
• Help to build consensus among all interested parties;
• Be market driven;
• Be able to be built in phrases;
• Be sufficiently illustrated and documented to portray the planning and design
concepts in an understandable manner;
• Combine the planning ideas already developed into a vibrant, mixed use
district that incorporates strategically placed and useable public spaces with
buildings that contribute to the whole;
• Incorporate new proposed public and private development projects, including
transportation improvements;
• Incorporate both water (if possible) and land side development activities into
one cohesive development program;
• Uses limited public dollars and incentives to stimulate maximum private
development activity;

Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects
EE&K's experience in waterfront planning and development is extensive and
comprehensive in both the public and private sectors. The principals assigned to
this project understand the intricacies of the public planning process. EEK has
been involved in the planning and design of some of the most important public
and private waterfront projects in the country including Battery Park City,
Baltimore Inner Harbor East, Queensway Bay in Long Beach and Charleston,
South Carolina as well as major waterfront plans for Yonkers, N.Y., Newark N.J.,
Myrtle Beach, S.C., San Juan, Puerto Rico and Trenton, N.J. We are currently
working on a master plan and architectural design for a major entertainment/retail
and public open space project at Penn's Landing on the Philadelphia waterfront.
Our experience has led us to believe that:
• There are no set formulas or prototypes;
• Design comes from an analysis and understanding of existing conditions, an
appreciation of successful precedents, particularly relevant to the specific
location;
• The water side plan is as important as the land side plan;
• The plan must be market driven and yet be done within public purpose
framework;
• The phasing of both the public and private initiatives is critical.
Scope of Work
This Conceptual Design phase will define the program (including scope and
phasing), and the overall design intent (character and massing). We will begin
with an analysis of previous studies and plans as well as existing conditions
including site access/circulation, relations to surrounding parcels, existing
structures and potential expansion sites. Based on an agreed set of design
principles we will then explore options of alternate development strategies and
conclude with a recommended concept.
Deliverables
Deliverables for this phase of work will include:
• Site plans, generalized building plans, and sections through primary public
spaces and buildings — by hand;
• A study model to reflect the general massing and design intent;
• Thumbnail sketches expressing the character of major elements;
• 8 1/2xl1 Booklet
Schedule
We anticipate a four -week (five calendar weeks) timetable for this Conceptual
Design phase. We will begin with a start-up meeting on site and have
subsequent meetings every two weeks. We can begin work immediately, upon
receiving your signature below. This schedule may be modified, as needed, to

Barry Park City
Master Plan
Nov York, Nov York
he Battery Park City Master Plan has created an
entirely new neighborhood on a 92-arse waterfront
landfill on New York's southern edge. The plan estab-
lished a Commercial District, a South Residential
District, and a Northern Residential district, all organ-
ized around a series of parks and other focal points. A
stringent set of design guidelines was developed, provid-
ing architects with established design elements to main-
tain community and to ensure quality among the vari-
ous parcels of development. Each parcel is oriented
around a park or other public space with the intention
of capitalizing on river views and public interaction. A
tremendous success on many levels, BarAery Park City
was honored by Time magazine as one of the ten best
designs of the decade.

Union Pier Terminal
Concept Master Plan
Charleston, South Carolina
�n June 1996, Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects
•• _ -
completed a long-range conceptual master plan for 70

acres of waterfront in historic Charleston, a site which is
owned by the South Carolina State Ports Authority. The
plan extends the City's street and block pattern east to
the water's edge, preparing the site for development
that will respect Charleston's distinctive, low -scale archi-
tecture.
The Union Pier Terminal plan adds a,,ariety of new pub-
lic spaces to Charleston, from small-scale courtyards to
large civic plazas, while continuing a waterfront prome-

nade along the Cooper River. The proposed

Charleston. One block in from the waterfront, a new

seven -acre park is designed to showcase the natural land-
scape of the Carolina Low Country.

The Concept Master Plan calls for Phase I to be com-
pleted by the year 2000. Soon Union Pier Terminal may
soon welcome back tourists— as well as local and regional

this charming city.

Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn .Architects is providing
master planning services for this unique, new resi-
dential community of 10,000 units in Rockaway, New
York. The design uses open space to divide this large
site into discrete neighborhoods, featuring low to mid -
rise building forms and small scale architectural embell-
ishments. A system of more than 50 acres of parks,
both inland and along the beach, will allow residents
and the public to enjoy diverse recreational experi-
ences. A new landscaped boulevard will provide effi-
cient access to the site and improve the flow of traffic
from cast to west along the Rockaway Peninsula.

The key to EE&K's revitalization plan for the 320-
acre Long Beach waterfront is to connect the north
and south sides of Queensway Bay to create one unified
harbor environment. Rainbow Harbor, the first phase
of development, brings downtown Long Beach directly
to the water's edge and serves as an important nexus for
the other major destinations addressed by the Master
Plan, including the South Shore and Queen Mary,
Catalina Landing, Downtown Marina, and the Tidelands
district (former site of the Pike amusement park). The
plan takes its inspiration from the water, and a water
taxi system will link the different destinations together,
enabling everyone to enjoy the harbor experience. The
goal is to add to, improve, and weave together the open
space resources within the Queensway Bay area, creat-
ing the ideal setting for public and private development
opportunities.

annually. EE&K Architects is designing a one-of-a-kinc
events destination for the 45-acre waterfront site and 2
major refurbishment of the ship's 365-room hotel and
public spaces. The first phase of development will ester,
lish dramatic land and water atri%als for the site and a

Penn's Landing
Philodoia, Pennsyivania
Our design for the Penn's Landing / Comcast
Center 2001creates an atmosphere of fun and
excitement and a setting reminiscent of great piers and
ocean liners in a new retail/entertainment complex on
the waterfront in Philadelphia. The nautical theme car-
ries throughout the design through the use of maritime
inspired materials, signage, lighting and motifs. The
city side of the Center is distinguished by an eye-catch-
ing, brightly illuminated marquee announcing the
multi -level main entrance. Once inside the Center the
street -like corridors, each with a distinct themed charac-
ter, lead to the central gathering space - the
_ -- — Philadelphia Commons. The top story of this central
atrium is a lattice of steel and lights that opens onto the
spacious rooftop Promenade Deck, blurring the distinc-
_ .'.' tion between inside and out. In our design, each of
these different areas has a unique character and identi-
