RIMOVATION:
Submitted into the public
record in connection with
item on
City Clerk
Teatro Marti is planning a complete renovation, because we consider
that it is extremely important to undergo a change of image in the
surrounding area. Therefore enabling us to encourage the 50% of the
theatre going public that has stopped attending, because of the te-
rrible aspect that surrounds our establishment. With this renovation
will be helping not only ourselves but also the area, which needless
to say could be considered one of the worst in Miami at this time.
PARKING:
With this renovation, we have a letter from the Zoning Department sta-
ting the requirements for a theatre with 1600 seats, to have 200 park-
ing spaces. It is crucial that the City of Miami to facilitate a mini-
mum of 150 spaces in the park area. The additional parking spaces are
extremely important to this area, the crime in this area has reflcted
in the parked cars around the streets being broken into constantly.
Having a designated parking area will help decrease the street vanda-
lism. Besides for the proposed renovations there is a requirement of
200 parking spaces for a theatre with 1600 seats.
CRIME:
The high crime in the area has definitely decreased the attendance
by 50%, in conjuction the area construction of the streets by the
city for almost a year, and still there is some construction being
finished nearby. The crime in this area is so apparent that you can
actually see the drugs being sold in plan daylight. Recently a homo-
cide victim was found in the park. The same park which little child-
ren play. The waterfountains installed at this park are constantly
used by the prostitutes to wash their personal parts. The same water
fountains that little children drink from. The Miami police patroll
the area, but unfortanatly they can not patrol the area continuosly
to overcome the street violence and criminal acts that take place in
this neighborhood.
HISTORY:
In addition to all the mentioned previously during 23 years Teatro
Marti has enriched the culture and has encouraged the exposition of
local and international artists and playwrites. Creating a cultural
impact for many years,•and our main concern is to be able to continue
offering cultural heritage to the community of Miami.

We are requesting that Community Development grant/ us a loan. What
we request from the Commision is that the terms of the loan be changed.;
Instead of the usual 2 for 'I Matching to be granted as a 40/60 loan.
This peticion is valid only if the City of Miami cannot award us a
grant for this amount, as it was already awarded to the -Coconut Grove
Playhouse. We are already in the process of becoming a non-profit
organization. We have already been issued a control #.
And also that off street parking build the additional 150 parking
spaces that are required.
**Enclosed please find all the supporting documentation for this
request**
FIRE STANDARDS
Besides all the renovations, the City of Miami Fire Inspectors have
requested us to meet a serious amount of changes that will cost a
large amount of money.
