Dear Mr. Luft: I enjoyed meeting with you briefly again after Michael Lawry's, David O'Neil's and your fine presentation at the 9/27/94 Implementation Plan Presentation. I have read with interest MRA International, Inc.'s interim report, which generally outlines various development strategies for "DINNER KEY", and/or addresses key concerns identified by the citizens of Coconut Grove and the City. Although the report did not specifically incorporate a financial feasibility implementation plan, it did address various strategic planning objectives, as well as existing financial issues based upon various redevelopment concepts of certain components. The report did however, identify and expand the description of "DINNER KEY", Incorporating the former passenger terminal for Pan American World Airways (currently occupied by Miami City Hall), including the Coconut Grove Exhibition Hall. The presentation further identified "DINNER KEY" running from Kennedy Park to Peacock Park. Those in attendance did acknowledge this expanded description of "DINNER KEY", which is an identifiable and economic assemblage of lands developed, undeveloped for recreational and public use, including upland, bay bottom land and marina related and commercial uses. 94- '782 • MARKET ANALYSTS • CONSULTANTS . VALUATION SPECIALISTS • APPRAISAL. AND REAL ESTA"' CONOMICS ASSOCIATES, INC. SLtb itfled i:n to ,i- Mr. Jack Luft record i.n cn` ,-�cc:M� October 20, 1994 Page Two item 0I1 City �`i ,-k- Within the redefined study area by MICA, identified various alternatives in whicMr-'DINNER KEY' redevelopment plan could be put to Marketable Uses within the City's current financial restrictions. This gives rise (as I stated at the workshop and concurred by others in attendance), that you consider and present to the City of Miami Commission for their consideration at the October 27, 1994 meeting a "Fifth Conceptual/Development Alternative" summarized as follows: 1) Create a "DINNER KEY" Oversight Advisory Authoft (DKOA) Authority to be responsible for the adaptive reuse and development of "DINNER KEY". All City of Miami assets, including but not necessarily limited to lands running from Kennedy Park to Peacock Park (upland and bay bottom land), would be under the jurisdiction of the newly created Authority. 2) The Authority would ` then create either a Special Tax District or ' 3ona District (whichever appropriate), to publicly, raise adequate funds -for ;redevelopment, reuse, and expansion of all properties located.witiin the boundaries of the district. Funds raised would;`be `used solely for. development, redevelopment, and host importantly maintenance, and reserves for replacements for all adaptive, readaptive, commercial anti public; uses .within the district Netoperatmg rent incomecurrently going to the City's general fund from'existing commercial leases, e.g. Marina,' Grove Key` Marina, Chart House, `Monty's, boat yard, Dinner Key Auditorium etc., plus proposed net operating income from redeveloped adaptive uses e.g. boat yard, expanded marina, Farmer's Market (if feasible), etc., would be re -appropriated under the supervision of the "DKOA" Authority for debt or bond repayment. Surplus funds after reserves would then accrue back to the City's general fund. As I am without detailed information as to income and expenses of all existing leases located within "DINNER KEY", I am unable, at this juncture, to professionally provide a financial analysis except to state that such current income and future income is more than J adequate to fund this concept. Since the City of Miami Commission is seriously reconsidering relocating City Hall back to downtown Miami, the following conceptual concept and reuses (in addition to existing uses), are deemed plausible. 94- 782 APPRAISAL AND REAL ESTA" 'ECONOMICS ASSOCIATES, INC. .r Subm.iated i to the public Mr. Jack Luft record in with October 20, 1994 Page Three item _-� � � ,� _ ► a L" Hirai L; ;I `.:le- .k 1) Incorporate Dinner Key Auditorium into the "DKOA" Authority (existing) a) program for an additional parking garage to be developed by the Off -Street Parking Authority in co-op with "DKOA" Authority. 4) Boat Yard a) relocate boat yard to machine shop building and apron parcel. b) rent indoor open space (on a square foot formula) for boat repairs by restriping area into 15' x 40'± spaces rented on a daily, weekly, or monthly formula for tenants' indoor boat repairs. c) subdivide and rent north and south perimeter of building to boat yard related office/retail users on a monthly or annual lease basis. d) restripe open asphalt apron area into 20' x 50' ± spaces and rent on a daily, weekly, or monthly formula for tenants' outdoor boat repair. 94- 782 APPRAISAL AND REAL ESTA,75ECONOMICS ASSOCIATES, INC. Submitted into the public record in ccran:::ctLon with Mr. Jack Luft October 20, 1994 item �� r,,: l 10 � Page Four C:i;:y Clerk 5) Verrick Gym Parcel (former U.S. Coast Guard Hangar) subject to Federal Government's covenant stating the property be used and maintained for public purposes e.g. recreational facilities a) renovate according to Historic Preservation Guidelines and enter into leases with Shake -A -Leg, the U.S. Sailing Club, and other compatible recreational groups for marine/community functions. Grant Funds could be raised by various non-profit organizations. The Coast Guard Hangar should be restored back to its original design. The termite infested and structurally deficient addition in front (deemed incompatible) and currently used by the City of Miami Recreation and Parks Department should be removed and demolished. b) parcels,,, fronting Bay Shore. Drive from Monty Trainer's to.; Dinner:= Key Auditorium should be bermed, landscaped, and paved for 'paid surface perking by tie'Off-Street Parking Authority in''`cooperation with "DKOA" Authority `c) tleyelop ;the waterfront promen ade, „a wide OUAY WALK 16hriing from „ • ;', Monty'stoDmner..Key:Auditorium This would providewaiking, bake riding, etc. access to the waterfront for the public. 6) Marina a) incorporate and expand existing marina to accommodate daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly rentals for larger vessels. b) incorporate into the marina operation the adjacent bay bottom land used by the Anchorage, and charge monthly rental maintenance fees to those sail boats anchored off -shore. Other alternatives and reuses considered in the MRA International report have merit. Further study may be necessary if a Public Market was to be incorporated within the District. However, consideration should be given to commercial traffic e.g. produce purveyor trucks and added consumer vehicle traffic attracted to the Public Market. 94-- 782 APPRAISAL AND REAL ESTA`" ECONOMICS ASSOCIATES, INC. Submitted into the ;public record in comic,.:tion -with Mr. Jack Luft October 20, 1994 item �..� c�: t t� �� 7 q . Page Five L s:l Clerk In other words, the concept of a Public Market may have merit. However, a traffic study may show that the large hangar in the Dinner Key location may not be a feasible location due to its high -intensity of use because of additional traffic congestion on access roads to Dinner Key. However, a scaled down version may be feasible in an adjacent location but within another building to be built south of Dinner Key Auditorium (see attached Normans/Winn Dixie Store article). Financial Issues It appears that funds could be made available from the following sources: Current net rent income after operating expenses and reserves from all commercial components within the newly created district, including but not necessarily limited to, Dinner Key Auditorium, Monty's lease, Chart House lease, existing marina, Grove Key Marina lease, fuel, boat yard, dry storage; and future net income from additional commercial enterprises, including but not necessarily limited to, expanded marina, fuel, re -negotiated and expanded lease with Grove Key Marina, boat yard, and auxiliary facilities, kiosks, parking, etc., should adequately secure bond or debt payments. Surplus revenues after all expenses could then accrue back to the City's general fund. In conclusion, I professionally believe that the foregoing concept of establishing a "DINNER KEY' Authority District is the right course of action to be taken. Valuable properties such as "DINNER KEY" should be operated under the auspicious of an independent authority, and professionally managed by the private sector in order to insure intermediate and long term benefits to the City of Miami and its citizens. 94- 782 APPRAISAL AND REAL EST4 ECONOMICS ASSOCIATES, INC 8ub!

I trust that you could incorporate this as a "Fifth Conceptual/Development Alternative". If in the event (due to time constraints), the foregoing cannot be incorporated as a fifth alternative to the MRA report, then 1 request that this letter in its entirety along with the attachments be submitted to the City Commission on 10/27/94 when this item is scheduled for their deliberation.

WHEREAS, the Cocoanut Grove Village Council is the elected body the residents of Cocoanut Grove and acts in an advisory capacity to the City of Miami Commission on Cocoanut Grove issues; and WHEREAS, on January 22, 1994 an all -day city sponsored Charrette was conducted on the adaptive reuse of the Verrick Gym and immediate surrounding area; and WHEREAS, the Charrette was publicly noticed and attended by a broad spectrum of residents and business owners from throughout the City of Miami including members of the Cocoanut Grove Village Council; and WHEREAS, public meetings on February 15, 1994; before the Water front Board; before the Heritage Conservation Board on March 16, 1994 and the Planning Advisory Board on March 16, 1994, all resulted in recommendations to the City Commission to approve the broad based Charrette recommendations; and WHEREAS, the Cocoanut Grove Village Council has voted unanimously to urge the City Commission to approve the City of Miami - Planningt- Buildincs and Zonina Department Study and to direct the administration to adopt and implement its goals and objectives, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVES BY THE COCOANUT GROVE VILLAGE COUNCIL THAT: SECTION 1. The Cocoanut Grove Village Council hereby recommends to the City of Miami: Commission to adopt the findings contained within the City of Miami; Planning, Building and Zoning Department Study with specific attention to: A. Results of the Charette (on page 13 of the study attached her to and made a part here of as Exhibit "A") B. The Plan (on pages 14-16 of the study, attached here to and made apart here of as Exhibit "B") 94- 782 C.

Goals and objectives (on pages 19 and 20 of the study attached here to and made a part here of as Exhibit "D") SECTION 2, the Cocoanut Grove Village Council recommends that the City of Miami Commission authorize the City Manager to advertise for professional services of qualified Marine, Architectural, Engineering and Environmental Planning firms to delineate and design the renovation and development concept consistent with the recommendations from the participants in the Charrette as summarized in the City of Miami Planning, Building and Zoning Department Study. SECTION 3. The Cocoanut Grove Village Council recommends that the City Commission direct that the design concept should be developed prior to the City Managers preparation of an RFP (request for proposals) in order to avoid a skewed or single developer design concept that may not necessarily be consistent with the results of the Charrette.

Public input was sought in order to receive necessary approvals from federal and state agencies due to historic designation of the hangars and deed restrictions on Virrick Gym site. The City sponsored an all -day publicly noticed charrette at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club on January 22nd, 1994. The conclusions of that charrette were presented at a publicly noticed meeting on February 15th- at City Hall. Subsequently, the recommendations of the participants of' the charrette are to be presented to and approved in concept by the Waterfront Advisory Board on March 6th and the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board on March 15th. The charrette focused on: (1) the adaptive reuse of Virrick Gym; (2) the potential redevelopment of the Virrick Gym site; (3) the potential reuse of the two hangars (FKA Merrill Stevens Boatyard); and (4) planning for the immediate vicinity bounded by Aviation Avenue, South Bayshore Drive, Pan American Drive and the Bay. Nine teams of interested participants discussed the site, proposed solutions and revised those proposals in an open forum. Their conclusions, attached herewith as Attachment A, provide the summary of that charrette and a. set of guidelines for .the City Commission and City. Administration regarding the future development of the site. Subsequently, during the meeting of February 15th at City Hall, a proposal was put forward to utilize the Virrick Gym as a farmer's market; this proposal was rejected by the audience, .

City Clerk 94- '782 13 Submitt` into the ,public EXHIBIT "B" record in Corul;;,ction with item_ of 1 O-42L-54_ Matty Hirai THE PLAN City Clerk A. The Virrick Gym would be retained and restored as a sailing center, ideally as a facility shared by 'Shake -A -Leg", a sailing program for the handicapped, the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team and the City of Miami Parks Department sailing program. Using recreational sailing as a common theme, a recreational program for the general public is also visualized including an exercise gym, health club and bike rentals. Shake -A -Leg has a small sailboat dock, also. Parking is available for handicapped and users. The office annex, which is contiguous on the north side of the Virrick Gym building proper is currently partially occupied by City of Miami offices. If Shake -A -Leg were to be allowed to follow through with their ambitious program for reusing the office annex as sailing team barracks, then the City offices (daycare, handicapped and cable) would have to be relocated to an unidentified location. Alternatively, during,a long transition period, the use of the office annex could be divided between Shake -A -Leg and the City. B. The Hangar (formerly Merrill Stevens Drydock) would be retained and reused as a full service boatyard capable of servicing boats over 28 feet' in length. This facility would be augmented by a repaired (or new) boat lift, and room for a forklift to maneuver. Increasingly stringent environmental regulations dictate that boat repair activity take place in a controlled (indoor) environment so that the outside apron is to be used by boats to be repaired or dry boat storage (28' + in length), Sufficient parking on the north side of the building would be available for workers, clients and marina users, C. The Machine Shop formed Merrill Stevens D dock is proposed as a Pan American Airways Coast Guard Air Marine Historical Museum (see letter of interest in Appendix C from the Historical Museum). This proposal should not be reviewed in isolation but rather in the context of Coconut Grove's other historic attractions such as the Barnacle, and City Hall and the Virrick Gym at Dinner Key. Visitor parking would be available to the north of the building.' Alternatively, if the Historical Museum proposal ultimately is not found to be acceptable to the City, this building would be included in the Request for Proposals for the full service boatyard (see below). D. The Marina has previously been included with the full service boatyard. However, it seems that the marina could `be 94-- 782 14 Su. witted into the public record in connecticn with- item L Hirai WM4 :K YIRRICK GYM AT DINNER KEY STUDY 9 4! 7 8 2!

The marina would include sixty-one (61) grandfathered slips, and perhaps 25 to 40 more new slips (which would have to be approved by Metro Dade County).. Also included is a dockmaster's office, on -dock fuel facility (with onshore fuel storage tanks) and a marine art -in -public - places feature. The fuel facility is located to provide maneuverability for large boats; the continued use of the water area to the southeast as a "free" anchorage may interfere with this desired maneuverability of larger boats destined for the fuel facility or the boat lift. E. The Boat Launching Ramps need to be renovated to facilitate launching (and retrieving) boats. A vehicle -and -trailer parking area, for storage while a boat is in use, is located south of the Virrick Gym. F. The Sailing Dock is currently operated by Shake -A -Leg as part of their concession. The potential to expand the number of slips here is hampered by the need to provide an ample maneuvering area for the sailboats., However, the potential of expanding sailboat slips should continue to be explored. G. A Baywalk with pedestrian amenities is included, where appropriate. It is recognized that mangroves on the shore south of the parking area must be preserved. H. A New Green Space is located along the eastern edge of the parking area to provide a "s'ee through" and separation. . A hard court area is included. I. The Parking Area has been reconfigured. A meter, decal or other form of parking validation should be considered to assure that use of the parking area is for patrons of Dinner Key and not visitors and workers destined for office buildings ' on the north side of South Bayshore Drive. Attention also needs to be given to security needs of the parking area and the vehicle -and -trailer storage area. J. The South Bayshore Drive Pedestrian -and -Bicycle Path is retained. Landscaping in the form of an overhead canopy is suggested by adding a parallel row of royal poincianas with adequate spacing to allow for future growth. No understory landscaping is proposed, for safety and security reasons, Also to be incorporated is a stop for tram or shuttle service to accessory parking at the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center or village center, should this service ever be implemented. K. The triangular Open Space should only be altered by adding turf -block or similar "open cell" paving that would allow the use of green ground cover while still providing for overflow 94- 782 15.

Forward this study to the appropriate federal and state agencies for review, 2. Immediately authorize sufficient repairs to the Virrick Gym to enclose it and protect it from the elements. 3. Prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Virrick Gym and Machine Shop, including boat launching ramp and sailing dock, to enable public interest non-profit groups to present proposals -utilizing the recently enacted charter amendment. 4. Prepare a Request for Proposals for a full service boatyard utilizing the large hanger and marina. As -a part of this RFP, an additional optional proposal could be considered, for the machine shop, as part of a full -service boatyard, 5. Seek a coastal management or open space grant to address the baywalk segment, preservation ' of mangroves, and the installation of the green space and hard court.

City Clerk Virrick Gym jMerrill Stevens Charrette Goals and Objectives for the Site A majority of the audience agreed on the following general comments; other team comments apply to individual structures: 1. Make the conclusions of this., charrette.: the foundation for all future requests for proposals for the site. 2. Use available FEMA or insurance funds immediately to prevent further damage to the structures, 3. Preserve all structures; no demolition of historic structures. 4. Area should be reserved for the marine community and water- dependent,;uses....,.;;.•...,,: • ., 5. No hotels or residential units; no, high -intensity. "Bayside-type" tourist facility or more theaters which . would contribute to traffic andcongestion problems. 6. Revenues collected from ' the site should be reinvested there and not returned to the General Fund. 7, Emphasis on youth recreation, particularly marine -related recreation, 8. If adequate parking for resulting uses cannot be provided onsite as surface parking, investigate the possibility of a tram or shuttle to accessory parking at the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center or elsewhere. 8. Preserve the existing views of the bay. 10. 'Preserve the existing mangroues. 11. Landscaping should prevail • continuously along South Bayshore Drive; a marine -oriented feature should be incorporated into the landscaping design. Other Team Comments: Virrich Gym., 1. Preserve the Virrick Gym as a multi -use community center which might include a water sports training center and sailing educational center by retaining or expanding the Shake -a -Leg facility, possibly in conjunction with the U.S. Olympic Training Center, 94-- 782 19 Submitted into the public record L, :onnec•tion with item _ q O:r, MQtty Hirai 2.

Boatyard should ,, be -privately managed by a company with the expertise and resources. to handle such an operation, not by the City of Miami. 5. The boatyard should accommodate as many boat slips as permissible to -meet the existing need, make Dinner Key a facility at' least - equivalent to the Miami 'River's boatyard (the only other functioning, boatyard in, the area), .and make use of an existing under-utilized facility in an advantageous location, Machine Shop: 1. Preserve the building as a possible Pan Am and Coast Guard aviation/marine'.'•' �museunri �.,• with' retail components including marine accessories and : other shops, a Coconut Grove .historic market and/or farmers' market. 2. Do not locate commercial enterprises which would compete with existing business; • retail should be complementary to the primary use of the property as a boatyard. Parking Area at Virriek: 1. Landscape the area for a park and a continuous lighted baywalk with lighted, low -intensity recreational facilities. 2. Any ,parking should be landscaped surface parking which is monitored for security. Area between ,South Bayshore and hangars; 1. Area should be retained as landscaped surface parking. 2.

EE, RECOMMEND: Matty Hirai City Clerk Increasing the size of. boats that can be hauled by the marina. After that size has been reached, larger boats would use the Miami river do-it-yourself facilities. City Hall and Dinner Key Marina: The historic city administration building and the recently repaired Dinner Key Marina will continue as they are, a splendid attraction for visitors and tourists and an exceptional marina for wet storage and live-aboards. WE RECOMMEND: A. Parking around the flag park in front of the administration building should offer short term parking primarily to individuals who have. business with the administration, the Mayor or the Commissioners. City Employees would no longer park around this site, they would park in the convention center parking spaces thereby freeing up circle parking for residents and visitors. B. Sailboat rental concessions located on the south bulkhead area, long a major compliment to our city, teaching and training sailboat activists and, renting sailboats should have their parking areas for customers protected particularly during city of Miami approved festivals and street closures. 4. Seminole Docks to, -the Barnacle Long a colorful, heavily used and historic launching ramp principally for city of Maimi residents, this facility also serves as a dock and boat storage area for anchorage live-aboards.

Construct a small boat storage area to accomodate live aboards and visitors when an authorized anchorage area has been formally established. Shower and toilet facility would be part of the bait and tackle facility for use by anchoraged individuals. C. Provide a professional review and evaluation of the launching area to determine how additional automobile and boat trailer parking can be provided. R 9 4- 782
