The survey was designed to identify the types of businesses which would be supported by residents of individual Northeast neighborhoods (36th street to 87th Street including the neighborhoods between the railroad tracks and Biscayne Bay). Questions also asked what, specifically, individuals saw as problems and detractions to business patronage. The following results were tabulated, identifying the major ranked items for each question. The surveys were distributed to the following homeowners' associations: Magnolia Park, Bay Point, Morningside, Bayside, Belle Meade, Belle Meade Island, Shorecrest, Buena Vista and Lemon City. These combined areas have a population of 15,000. Each neighborhood received enough surveys to be distributed to every household. Except for Buena Vista and the Lemon City area, there was approximately a 10% response from each neighborhood. A total of 150 survey responses were received. The following pages contain a summary and report of the survey responses. Maps illustrating the buying income of area residents and the value of retail property in the proposed focus area are also included. The Biscayne Boulevard business district presents numerous opportunities: 0 GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN 0 EASY ACCESS TO BEACHES, PORT, DOWNTOWN, AIRPORT AND I-95 0 HIGH TRAFFIC FLOW 0 MULTI CULTURAL DIVERSITY 0 OFFICE BUILDINGS WITH REASONABLE RENTAL RATES RECENTLY AVERAGING $5.00 to $12.00 PER SQUARE FOOT. 0 IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY OF MIAMI'S HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS 0 OVER 370 MILLION DOLLARS EFFECTIVE BUYING INCOME IN AREA Based on the findings of the survey and this market study, the Greater Biscayne Boulevard Chamber of Commerce concludes that a Retail Cluster' centered on Biscayne Boulevard around Real Foods, a successful and established store, would not only be successful but create a positive impact for future economic development of the Boulevard. 92- 672 SUCUTIVS StrivalY or SURVEY RESPONSES I.
