Dear Mr. Odio:
Re: Metromover Extension Project Workshop Update,
City of Miami Commission - November 9, 1989
On October 26, 1989, City and County staff went before the
City of Miami Commission requesting the following City
Commission actions:
1. City Commission resolution that commits the
City to a 50-50 property acquisition cost
participation for the Park West Station;
2. City Commission resolution that commits the
City to providing the 50-Toot dedication for
the Bicentennial Park Station;
3. A decision on the disposition of
City -a an oned railroad property for joint
development; and
4. An explanation of the zoning bonuses that
would be offered by the City to property
owners participating in joint development.
The City Commission requested that a workshop be held to
further update the Commissioners on the Metromover extension
project and the issues pertinent to the requested City
actions. At the workshop, Dade County staff will present an
update on the Brickell and Omni alignments, the status of
Joint development proposals, and the issues regarding the
subject requests.

Briefly, the background behind the requests is as follows:
Bicentennial Park Station, as shown in the
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), was located
in the median between the I-395 highway and the
highway entrance ramp north of Bicentennial Park.
The City of Miami requested that the station be
shifted to the north end of the park to service
the park and its proposed future redevelopment.
The County intends to proceed with the necessary
modifications to the system design and EIS to
accommodate the change of location. City of Miami
staff is in the process of platting the park,
which may include an easement to accommodate the
station. The County is requesting that the City
Commission provide the easement for the
Bicentennial Park Station at no cost to the
County.
The Park West Station requires an easement from
private properties in order to maintain three
traffic lanes on N.E. 2 Avenue. The County is
pursuing the dedication of perpetual easements
with these property owners. Mr. Herbert Bailey
has indicated to County staff that if the County
is unable to achieve the dedication of the
easements, the City may participate 50-50 in the
acquisition cost of the easements, pending City
Commission approval. If no easement agreement
with the property owners or the City of Miami is
achieved, the County will shift the alignment more
into N.E. 2 Avenue to avoid property acquisition
costs. This, however, would require that N.E. 2
Avenue would be reduced from three to two traffic
lanes.
The Eleventh Street Station requires easements
from the Texas Supply Company property. The
property owner has offered to the County the
easements needed for the station in exchange for
the abandoned, City -owned railroad right-of-way
separating their property at N.E. 11 Street and
N.E. 2 Avenue. City decision on the disposition
of the property would be required.
Several property owners have proposed dedicating
the right-of-way needed for the station on their
property in exchange for zoning bonuses from the

City. Currently, it is undetermined what, if any,
the City will offer with regard to zoning bonuses
for properties participating in Metromover joint
development.
Dade County staff will join City of Miami staff in providing
the City Commissioners with any additional information
needed and to hopefully resolve all of their concerns prior
to the November 16, 1989 City Commission meeting.
Sincerely,
Joaquin G. Avifto, P.E., P.L.S.
