July 14th, 1994 Commissioner ENCLOSURES Please schedule for discussion the item regarding Public Works - Sewer Project in the "Road Area" PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS IN THE "ROADS AREA" DISCUSSION ISSUES Jesus E. Roiz June 23, 1994 ROADS AREA STORM SEWER -PHASE I,1991. General Background. - The "Roads" area consists of three major subdivisions: Holleman Park, Brickell Hammocks and Brickell Estates, and the East end of the East Shenandoah Subdivision. Three of 22 flood -problem areas in the city of Miami are located in the Roads area. See attached City of Miami Public Works study "Storm Drainage in South Florida", June 1977 The streets in three subdivisions, Brickell Hammocks, Brickell Estates and East Shenandoah feature street curbing; Holleman Park features swales without curbing. The swales in Holleman Park have been filled and compacted or filled and paved by the residents; they are used for parking. As a consequence, they have lost their drainage capacity. For many years, the area along Coral Way, from 17th Road to 24th Road, between 2nd and 4th Avenue, has suffered extensive flooding. The recent raising of the pavement crown on Coral Way has accentuated this problem. The three subdivisions with curbing have attracted investments, on the other hand, Holleman Park has lost most of its resident owners Public Works Project History.- 1977- The City of Miami Public Works Department, during a study titled... "STORM DRAINAGE IN SOUTH FLORIDA", June-1977 Located 22 flood -problem areas within the city limits. Three of them are found in the Roads area. 1985- The City of Miami Public Works Dept. budgeted and issued the project... "ROADS AREA HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT - PHASE I", B-4513. The project proposed to rebuild the curbing in the Brickell Hammocks Subdivision and increase the width of the driving lanes to modern standards. Project B-4513 was canceled by the City Commission. 1 94- 493.1 v PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS IN THE "ROADS AREA" DISCUSSION ISSUES Jesus E. Roiz June 23, 1994 pg. 2 1988- September. The city of Miami established a Stormwater Utility to provide a funding source for stotmwater management improvements that are planned throughout the city. 1988- October. Roads area residents, from the Holleman Park Subdivision, began an active campaign to improve that area. 1990- Holleman Park's neighbors re-established good rapport with Public Works and won the department's support for a new sewer project. 1991- April. Three hundred and eighteen (318) Roads residents, from the Holleman Park Subdivision, petitioned a sewer project for this area from the City of .Miami Public Works Department. See bundle of letters in file. 1991- The City of Miami Dept. of Public Works approved and budgeted the... "ROADS AREA STORM SEWER -PHASE I" Project cost was estimated at $1.2 Million. Moneys from the Stormwater Utility Fund and certain Federal funds were to be used for the project. 1992- First quarter. Engineering Design phase of project was started. Field Survey of the area was completed. As -built information was drawn -up. 1992- June. $1.2 Million were budgeted by Public Works for construction in 1993. Construction was scheduled to start April 1993, and completion was scheduled for September 1993. 1992- July. City Manager required Finance Director to find $850,000.00 needed to cover shortfalls in the General Fund. Finance Director found the money in the Public Works project "ROADS AREA STORM SEWER -PHASE I" 1992- September. Left with insufficient money for the project ($350,000.00), Public Works abandoned the Roads project and re -assigned the Roads project engineers to work on the Andrews' emergencies. 1994- June. City Manager negotiated, and City Commission approved, to take $580,000.00 from the General Fund to induce a developer in the East Shenandoah Subdivision of the Roads, to down -zone his property from R-4 to R-2. 94- 493,( It , few AGF �).SPTUTHV: vy 'FL A '^ Juice t .1977•• , is • J 't•'1 ,� �� •' ` \•_ • . ✓ ` '�•v,��~�;t, ': 'i < - � .. .,t ,•� • t'' •• � ire 1,` .,, ,' 'r, •',' ` •� p, , r t , , • ,'I.

ROAD to SW 23rd. ROAD & SW 5th. AVENUE to So. MIAMI AVENUE. (HOLLEMAN PARK SUBDIVISION) FROM: JESUS ROIZ, member MRNCA, resident HOLLEMAN PARK. Dear Neighbor: There a -re many problems which are common to The Roads, but several of them are more prevalent in the Holleman Park area. The following are some of the basic problems: a) Many old homes in need of repairs. b) Most of the illegal subdivision of homes. c) Most of the abandoned (or disabled) vehicles in the streets. d) Most of the commercial vehicles. e) No storm drains. f) Destroyed and compacted grassy areas which are ugly and can not drain the rain water. g) Proximity to other areas that are being improved and are pushing the undesirables towards us. h) Proximity to areas that are "going down" and are attracting gangs.to our door steps. i) Excessive amount of graffiti, which attracts more criminals and scares away the decent people. If you are concerned about any of these problems and would like to receive, and pass along, more information in reference to them, please, fill in the bottom portion of this letter with your name and mailing address ( This information is part of the Public Records if you own the property), your phone number is optional. We need to know that you are concerned and would like to cooperate in finding solutions.

(Optional) B Dear Neighbor: Thank you for your response to our exhortation of October 13 at the MRNCA meeting. We, the Roads' property owners need to start analyzing the present situation of the neighborhood and the potentially serious problems we are facing. I am personally interested in one aspect of development which, I think, is going to improve more than one problem. I am refer- ring to the installation of storm sewers in the area of Holle- man Park. This subdivision was developed in the early 1920's when almost nobody had an automobile; therefore, there was not a single car parked on the grass swale between the sidewalk and the pavement. The swale could do the job for which it was designed: drain the rain water and look pretty. Sixty five years (and many conversions of single family homes into duplex and triplex) later, everybody has an automobile... and some of us have an automobile and a truck or a bus or a junk car parked on the grass. The results are: i 1) The grass swales have been compacted by the vehicles and are not able to drain as fast as they should, there- fore, we have standing water when it rains, and Coral Way gets flooded for hours due to the water runoff from j the Roads. 1 2) The loss of drainage is made worse by those who pave a "parking lot" in front of their houses, without pro- viding a drainage well and catch basin as required by Code . 3) The wide grass area, which used to be beautiful, is now convenient storage space for trucks, buses and junk cars. 4) The looks of our Roads does not encourage the investment i necessary to promote increase in property value. Yes, we would have to pay a fraction of the cost of improvements, however, I feel it will be worth it. When we have curbs and gutters nobody will be able to park on the grass, we will have more trees, new driveway approaches and a cleaner urban look which will discourage the ordinance violators and will attract investments. jThe approval of the Highway Improvement Bonds, on the November 8 elections, will help us get the storm sewer we need, and the j additional benefits that will come along with that. I ASK YOU, PLEASE, TO THINK ABOUT IT. TAKE A RIDE ALONG SW 22 RD. FROM 5 AVE TO 2 AVE. COMPARE THE AREA OF 22 RD & 4 AVE WITH THE NEW CORNER BUILT BY THE INTERNATIONAL BANK ON CORAL WAY & 22 RD. IF YOU LIKE WHAT THE BANK DID IN THAT CORNER, PLEASE VOTE FOR THE BONDS AND BE READY TO PETITION THE CITY FOR THE SEWER.

These Improvements are required by the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 as well as the State's Surface Water Improvement and Management Act of 1987 In order to reduce pollution entering Biscayne Bay and Its tributaries. In response to this legislation, the City hired a stormwater management consultant to determine the scope of the stormwater management Improvements that will be required to comply with th'e full Intent of the legislation. Approximately $270 million (In 1986 dollars) worth of Improvements were Identified by our consultant to protect and preserve the water resources that are vital to our community and the entire South Florida area. The Clty's Stormwater Utility has now been In operation for approximately two years. Utilizing the current stormwater utility rates, It would take approximately sixty (60) years for the utility to generate sufficient revenue to fund the needed Improvements. In order to reduce this time frame to a reasonable, period, the stormwater utility rates have been revised. The following new rates have been established for the stormwater utility fee as provided In Ordinance No. 10616: 1. Residential (i.e, single family home, condominium unit, apartment or townhouse unit, mobile home unit)...............................$3.00 per month 2. Non-Residentlal (i.e, enterprise, business, and all other occupancy or use not covered by the residential classification) ...... the fee shall be based on the amount of paved and developed area and will be directly proportional to the fee established for an equivalent residential unit. The new fee will be In effect on or after October 1, 1990 and will appear on the water and sewer bill that you receive from Mlaml-Dade Water & Sewer Authority Department. If you have any questions regarding the stormwater utility fee, please contact the City of MIamI Stormwater Utility Customer Service Section at 372-4520. 94- 493,( 17 t' BEAUTIFICATION AND IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE 1990 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: A) Residential Improvements: 1.

Querido Don Jaime: 3 de agosto de 1990 En las proximas elecciones, los votantes de la Ciudad de Miami tendremos que decidir sobre varias preguntas que tienden a aumentar el monto de las contribuciones que hacemos a los gobiernos de la ciudad y del condado. Dado que en los ultimos anos los electores hemos hecho de la respuesta negativa a todos los aumentos de contribuciones un simbolo de protesta, podemos esperar, con temor, que esa sea la reaccion popular en las proximas elecciones y que los votantes hispanos cometamos el error de votar en contra de la emision de bonos municipales para la reconstruccion de Galles y alcantarillado. Es extremadamente importante que los radio-oyentes de la WQBA, en especial de su programa y comentarios, tengan suficiente informacion para discernir y hater una decision razonable cuando esten al frente de las urnas; por to tanto, varios residentes y lideres profesionales o comunitarios hispanos le pedimos, que nos de la oportunidad de participar en su programa "Cuando el Mundo Gira" tan pronto Como a usted le sea posible. E1 objetivo principal de esta comparecencia sera el explicar a los radio-oyentes la necesidad de rer_onstruir las Galles y alcantarillados y la diferenci.a entre la emision de bonos municipales para invertir en obras publicas y los gastos gubernamentales. El siguiente grupo de personas: E1 Ingeniero Felix Rodriguez, Presidente de la Asociacion de Ingenieros Cubanos. E1 Profesor Raul Zayas-Bazan, Antiguo Directivo de La Accion Catolica Cubana.

It is very iuportant for us to vote "YES" on this question. A large portion of other taxes we pay the City goes for administrative government jobs or to provide police and fire services on other parts of the city, however, the moneys raised through these bonds will only be used for neighborhood street improvements and to reduce the street flooding problem, mainly, on the Southwest side of the city. The cost per property, for all these public works, will be just a few dollars a year.. It is estimated that we will start paying approximately $3.00 a year by 1992 and end up paying approximately $12.00 a year by the year 2000 (for an average value property). The annual payment will then decrease until pay-off in approximately 20 years. The cost of improvements in front of the individual properties will be paid 80% by the city at large and 20% by the individual property owner. This 20% comes up to approximately $10 per lineal frontage foot for a property requiring a street with three new lanes and drainage. This amount will* be assessed to the individual property two or three years after the improvements are complete and may be paid in ten years with a ridiculously low 5% simple interest if the owner so desires. Properties in front of streets where less work is needed will pay less, those properties in front of which no work is done, will not be assessed It is very important to note that no bureaucratic jobs will be created with these funds. The moneys will be used for design, constriction and inspection of the works. By law the construction contracts will be issued among the local minority contractors, who in turn will hire many city neighbors to do the work. It will be like "hiring our neighbors to fix our streets". At this time, when the construction industry in Dade County is so slow, these public works will put bread on many tables in Miami. To understand why the City needs to issue bonds to fix the streets, we need to remember the purchase of our house. When we bought the property we acquired, all of a sudden, a large amount of blocks, cement and concrete; however, since we did not have all the cash to pay for it we had to get a mortgage, which we are paying off (or paid -off) in twenty or thirty years. The City has the same problem. They must buy large amounts of asphalt and concrete and have to pay the contractors, therefore, they must get "a mortgage". The way the City gets a mortgage for public works is by issuing municipal bonds. Another characteristic of the municipal bonds is that they may be purchased (through agents) by the taxpayers, who in turn can earn the dividends back. The dividend earned from municipal bonds, usually 7 or 8 percent are tax free, this is equivalent to earning 10 to 11 percent on the investment.

Dear Dr. Prieto: This letter is to petition the inclusion of the Holleman Park Subdivision in the STORM SEWER LOCAL DRAINAGE PROGRAM for the 1991-1992 PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET. Holleman Park, one of the three major subdivisions of the Miami -Roads area, is located from S.W. 15 Road to 23 Road and South Miami Avenue to 5 Avenue. When Holleman Park was developed, in the early 1920's, the population of Miami was a little over 29,571 residents. The subdivision, located just two blocks away from our present Downtown Financial District, was considered a "suburb". The residents probably did not own more than a couple of automobiles per street block. The original storm drainage system, consisting of wide, deep, grassy swales at both sides of the paved streets, along with the spacious private gardens and large number of vacant building lots, was certainly able to drain almost any kind of storm; however, seventy years later the situation is very different. Today, the population density in Holleman Park is at least fifteen times higher than in the 1920's, the subdivision is fully developed and the average number of automobiles per street block is above thirty. Many backyards have been covered with home additions and many gardens have been covered with concrete driveways, causing the private properties to drain onto the public right of way. The swales have been filled and compacted or paved over, and are no longer functional as drainage facilities. In several places they are used for dead storage of disabled vehicles, which sit on the dirt as monuments to the stagnation of the neighborhood attracting undesirable uses. In the past, Public Works has provided local drainage structures at several locations; however, this has been a "band -aid" cure where major "surgery" is necessary. The most visible consequence of this problem is the inundation of Coral Way. With the entire neighborhood draining onto it, the water ponds developed on this street measure up to six hundred feet in diameter. It is obvious that the local streets 'o6 94— 493.1 Dr. Luis Prieto Pg. 2 April 16, 1991 are causing the problem on Coral Way. This main street should not be expected to drain the entire neighborhood. The neighbors of. Holleman Park believe that the storm drainage system of the area should be rebuilt, that a modern system including curbs and gutters must replace the existing seventy year old drainage system. We are submitting, herewith, ,3/8 signed petition letters from residents of the priority target area: described below. It is important to note that these petition letters have only been accepted from voting age residents within the target area, and that the area includes only approximately 200 properties. We specifically ask that a modern storm drainage system, with its corresponding curbs and gutters and associated pavement, be built on that portion of Holleman Park from S.W. 3 Avenue (Coral Way)-to-5 Avenue and 23 Road to 15 Road, and that this construction be included in the 1991--1992 cycle of the Public Works Department Capital Improvement Budget. This section of Holleman Park includes the largest commercial area in the neighborhood and appears to be in the highest need for improvement. We will expect other sections of the "Miami -Roads" neighborhood to be improved in following years. We understand that this construction qualifies as an "Expansion of the Existing Storm Drainage System" under Section 53.5-28(5) of the City Code, therefore, all of the construction costs are to be paid from the Stormwater Utility Trust Fund, to which the city residents already contribute approximately $36.00 per year per household. We thank you and your Department for your cooperation and desire to improve the city of Miami and specifically our neighborhood. Respectfully, - Jesus E.

Assuming the Commission approves our proposed program, design can begin on Roads Area Storm Sewers -Phase I In the first quarter of 1992 with construction beginning approximately one year later. Please contact Daniel Brenner, P.E., Environmental Engineer, at 579-6866, If your need additional Information. i Very truly yours, /L.Uls Prieto-Portar, Ph.D., P.E. / DI ctor DCB:gc 1 i j r 31 94- 493.1 I Dear Neighbor: July 14, 1991 On April 1991 we asked you to sign a petition letter to the City of Miami Department of Public Works, requesting the installation of a modern storm drainage system in the Holleman Park area. We are very pleased to announce that the Department is complying with our request. On the other side of this paper we are returning a copy of your letter. A new project entitled "Roads Area Storm Sewers -Phase I" is now included in the Department's proposed 1991-97 Capital Improvement Program which will be submitted to the City of Miami Commission for Approval in September. Assuming the Commission approves the Department's proposed program, the engineering design for our project will start in the first quarter of next year (1992), with construction beginning approximately one year later (March of 1993). This Storm Sewer Project will benefit our neighborhood, will increase the neatness and beauty of our streets and the sale value of our properties. We must remain alert and ready to defend this extremely necessary project. At least one commissioner could be expected to fight this project in order to use the money in his part of town. The Department of Public Works is paying for this project with moneys from the "Stormwater Utility Trust Fund", to which we already contribute, and from federal funds secured for our neighborhood. This means that there will not be any additional assessment to our properties. We will perhaps be expected to improve our individual driveway approaches. If you have any question, please, do not hesitate to call any of the following: John Anderson at 859-2435, Anastasio Cuesta at 285-0000, Helmut Hauser at 856-6712, Guillermo Marmol at 854-2795 Jesus Roiz at 854-5266 Tom Ward at 285-7170.

Dear Dr. Prieto-Portar: In the name of the Miami -Roads neighbors I thank you, Mr. Jim Kay and Mr. Len Helmers, for taking your personal time to be part of our "B & I" 1990 Program kick-off on May 31st, and discuss with us the plans and needs of your department. Your talk and your answers were very informative. The awareness of our neighbors in public works matters was substantially increased by your presentation. Hopefully, our voters will approve the "Local Streets and Drainage Bond Issue" when the question is presented to them on September. Several issues of great importance were raised at the meeting. Most importantly, the fact that not every public works problem will be solved with the amount of money requested. That aspect of the bond issue will probably attract a lot of discussion during the next three months. I sincerely hope that we may welcome you again in the future. As indicated on our original invitation letter, we will have a general membership meeting on June 27, 1990, at the St. Sophia Church. We would be very pleased to hear from you at that meeting (either personally or through your staff), specially in regards to the minor maintenance work petitioned by several neighbors. See enclosed copy of list dated May 31, 1990. Please, do not hesitate to call me at 789-1968 if I can be of assistance on any matter. Sincerely, Jesus E. Roix, B & I Chairman, enclosure. cc.

This is to be accomplished following a design that will match the design of the streets on the adjacent Brickell Estates and Brickell Hammocks subdivisions. We, the undersigned, know that we and our neighbors will be assessed for the improvements, as designated in Section 56 of the City of Miami Charter. We further certify that we advised those neighbors, with whom we have discussed the matter, of the referenced assessment. Jesus E.

Lee, Acting Director, Department of Public Works 275 N.W. 2ND Street, Miami, FL, 33128 RE: ROADS AREA STORM SEWERS -PHASE I: Dear Mr. Lee: This project is part of your department's 1991-97 Capital Improvement Program. Funds for engineering design for Phase I are budgeted for 1992. More than three hundred residents of Holleman Park who petitioned this project last year, want to make sure that construction funds for Phase I are budgeted for 1993. We specifically ask that a modern storm drainage system, with its corresponding curbs and gutters and associated pavement, be built during 1993 in the area defined as Phase I. The recent improvements of Coral Way by D O T will reduce the water depth on that driving surface, however, it will force the standing waters back onto the streets that drain on Coral Way. In the future, the water will reach a higher level between Coral Way and 4TH avenue and between Coral Way and 2ND avenue. This will make our situation worse than it has been. The Roads area has paid the debt service and the Stormwater Utility Trust Fund for improvements to other areas of the city. We want to make sure that we are not passed up another.year. We understand that this construction qualifies as an "Expansion of the Existing Storm Drainage System" under Section 53.5-28(5) of the City Code, therefore, all of the construction costs are to be paid from the Stormwater Utility Trust Fund, to which the city residents already contribute approximately $36.00 per year per household.

'Mere is no reason for the streets in this area to be flooded, without curbs and gutters, without pavement to park and clean grassy areas with trees and flowers, protected from cars, just like other parts of the Roads and other parts of the city of Miami where they pay a lot less taxes than we do. Neighborhoods without nice streets tend to decay and devalue. This is exactly what is happening in this section of the Roads. If you compare this area of the Roads (between 15th and 22nd Road south of 5th Ave) with the other side of the Roads (between 23rd and 32nd Road and north of 5th Ave) you will notice how the other side is improving and this side is falling behind. This area does not have to be the Cinderella of the neighborhood, we pay as much taxes and fees as them and a lot more than other parts of the city. WE MUST FIGHT TO Its ROVE OUR NKEGHBCFMM. The City approved a storm sewer project for this area last year. We can not allow them to go back on their commitment and ignore us one more year. Let's stay alert and in touch.
