The Miracle Center Project meets the criteria for a major use project per Article 28 of Ordinance 9500, being in excess of 200,000 gsf of business and commercial uses excluding square footage assigned to parking. f ANALYSIS For projects subject to the requirements of Section 2802.2.3 of Zoning Ordinance No. 9500, Developmental Impact Study, the following considerations have been addressed by the applicant: Relationship to Comprehensive Plan The site is designated General Commercial use on the Miami Comprehensive Plan Neighborhood Plan. The requested mixed uses are compatible with this designation. Existing Zoning The zoning assigned to the site is CR-3/7 Commercial -Residential (General) which permits the requested mixed uses: retail, restaurant, theatre, and, residential. Ho zoning change or variance is being requested. Par- 1 of 7 0 0 i1 4 Relationship to Surrounding Uses The subject site is bordered on the east, west and south by existing commercial, retail, restaurant, and theater uses. Immediately to the north of the site is an existing single-family residential neighborhood. The close proximity of the project to this established neighborhood may create both a traffic and visual impact. The developer is attempting to provide a visual separation on the north in the form of a IO foot wide densely landscaped buffer, and combining this with a decorative six foot high masonry wall. This buffer will serve to minimize the view of the loading and service areas, as an intervening 20 foot service road will place the structure a -minimum of 30 feet from the rear property line of the residential units. The second phase apartment units and the three levels of parking cannot be shielded, but the parking levels can be treated in various architectural modes to present a relatively pleasant appearance. The potential of traffic impact will be addressed in another section. EconorV The property is currently generating no taxes or employment, having been abandoned for a number of years. The proposed project, being a major use, will generate substantial taxes and employ approximately 422 persons. This particular portion of Coral Way has not seen any new activity for some time, and the applicant suggests that the construction of this project could stimulate new development or major renovation in the immediate area. WASA The Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority has informed the applicant that WASA does have adequate water lines and gravity sewer mains surrounding the site. The Authority also has sufficient plant capacity for treatment of the sewage. No treatment will be necessary on -site, although the customary grease trap facilities will be required to handle ' restaurant and food operation. After final development plans are prepared, the applicant may request the Authority to prepare an agreement for water and sewer service conditioned upon approval of various regulatory agencies. Approximately 260,000 gallons of potable water per day is required by this development, including all uses. NASA has stated that its present lines and system can handle that water demand. Fire Flow Water Atlas records indicate that there is a 24 inch water main running within the Coral Way right-of-way. Fire Department fire flow tests indicate that the existing main meets the flow requirements of Fire Flow Ordinance No. 74-96. The Fire Department will require additional fire hydrants, and will review all plans to assure proper placement of the hydrants. Page 2 of 7 a • Fire Protection Under the South Florida Building Code the structure must be constructed with certain fire suppression capabilities. This type of new construction will have no adverse impact upon existing fire protection capabilities in that service area, alVk ugh there may be an adverse impact upon the ancillary emergency „,edical and safety inspection functions. This project will also be subject to any future City impact fees. Prior to that time, the applicant will be required to enter into a fair -share agreement with the Fire Department for the provision of fire services. Public Safety The Police Department does not foresee any problems in providing routine public safety services, but recommends studies exploring the need for a traffic light at Coral Way and S. W. 33 Avenue, the possibility of a left -turn lane on Coral Way. The department would also like to review any additional traffic data that specifically relates to traffic volumes generated by multiple -theater operations. The department will continue to work with the applicant to minimize any future problems concerning traffic flow, parking patterns, and security. The project will also be subject to any future City impact fees, and will be required to enter into a fair share agreement for the provision of police services. Solid Waste Approximately 3,654 pounds per day of solid waste will be generated by the project. All waste generated by this project will be handled by private disposal companies by direct transport to Dade County facilities. Electric Power Florida Power and Light Company has stated that their existing facilities can adequately handle the requirements of*this development. Surface Dvainage The site will utilize an interconnected drainage system, with runoff collected in catch basins and routed to sedimentation boxes. Injection pumps will discharge the runoff to drainage wells reaching the Biscayne Aquifer. Catch basins receiving water from vehicle washdown areas will be connected to oil and grease traps. The developer has agreed to abide by Florida DER and Dade County DERM environmental guidelines in connection with reducing potential impacts to ground water from pollution, runoff or salt water intrusion. Dredge and Fill No dredge and fill operations are required in either Phase I or in Phase II. Page 3 of 7 0 aw i Hous in 13 The second phase of the project will contain 138 rental apartments, and occupy levels eight through seventeen. These units -will increase the availability of rental housing in an area where such housing opportunities are not widely available. Public Transportation Since the project fronts on Coral Way, both patrons and residents will have ready access to a number of Metrobus routes. It is recommended that the building management provide a mass transit information board in the lobby. Off Street Loading The plans for the project provide for 11 truck bays and 4 compactor bays, all of which are located along the northern edge of the structure. All of the berths will be separated by landscaping and a masonry wall from single-family homes to the north. In addition to the landscape screening and buffering, all berths can be fully concealed by roll -down doors. Trucks can reach the berths from S. W. 33 Avenue, or from Coral Way at approximately S. W. 35 Avenue. Final construction plans must meet Public Works Department standards regarding truck turning radii so that all berths will be usable. Park ing The applicant -is committed to supplying 998 off-street covered parking spaces, 163 more spaces than required by the zoning code. While staff has expressed some concern regarding the internal vehicle movements required for parking, the applicants' parking consultants, Meyers Parking System, Inc., has stated that the entrance and exit ramps were designed for maximum ingress and egress during theater surges. The location of the ticket dispenser was also selected to provide extended stacking on the incoming ramp. The consultant also states that the elevators were located to maintain a "consumer acceptable" distance from the furthest parking space. They conclude that the proposed parking arrangements will operate in a safe and efficient manner. A major tenant, General Cinema Corporation, states that -the site plan for the mall and parking garage was found to be ideal to facilitate repeat theatre patronage. While the number of spaces being provided is considerably in excess of that required by code, questions have been raised by both the Planning and Public Works Departments as to the possible effect of the stated 4,780 gsf of space for "live entertainment." The Public Works Department is concerned that if "1 ive entertainment" is in essence a "disco" that, the requirement of 63 parking spaces for "disco" use may be inadequate, and the impact on traffic movement much greater than the square footage figure might indicate. It should be pointed out that the A Page 4 of 7 .10 applicants' traffic stu impact, if - indeed that "disco" use. Also, the the ability of trucks to the circulation pattern garage. dy did not deal with the questions of "disco" footage was entirely or largely devoted to Public Works Department is still concerned with move in and out of the service areas, and with for passenger vehicles within the parking Approximately 154 parking .spaces will be set aside for use by the occupants of the apartments. These spaces will be segregated from the remaining parking spaces, thus providing additional security for the dwelling unit tenants. Roads The applicant's preliminary plan dated July 11, 1986, proposed three major road improvements: a traff is signal at Coral Way and S. W. 33 Avenue; a widening of the median cut at S. W. 33 Avenue; and the installation of a left turn lane at Coral Way and S. W. 33 Avenue. These proposed road improvements would have been more than required based on the traffic data submitted by the applicant's traffic consultant. Also, an extended period of time would have been acquired to obtain the necessary permits from State and City agencies. Because the State of Florida has designated Coral Way as a Historic Highway, a public hearing is required whenever any alterations are proposed to the roadway or to trees in excess of six inches in diameter. In a comparable action, the City of Miami passed Ordinance No. 9897, designating Coral Way as a Scenic Transportation Corridor. The current plan of August 25, 1986 is proposing only a traffic signal light at S. W. 33 Avenue and Coral Way, no changes in the median, and no disturbance of trees. This plan is accompanied by additional traffic analyses, prepared by David Plummer and Associates, dated August 29, 1986 which confirms that the signal light, with no other changes, can accommodate the traffic generated by this project. This finding has also been confirmed by analyses conducted by the Planning Department, and by the Dade County Public Works Department. The applicant, at his cost, must prepare a Traffic Warrants Study to request permission for the signal, and additional traffic counts must be conducted by the app' 'ant and analyzed prior to validating the signal only approach. The reasibility of the signal only approach is also dependent upon the approval of the Dade County Public Works Department to phase the proposed signal at S. W. 33 Avenue with the existing signal at S. W. 32nd Avenue. Presumably, the Traffic Warrants Study can resolve that issue. The question of rapid ingress and egress between S. W. 33 Avenue is of utmost importance, in preliminary analysis indicates that any traffic Avenue would tend to divert increasing numbers adjacent neighborhood. The applicants traffic Page 5 of 7 the vehicle ramps and that the departments' slowdown on S. W. 33rd of vehicles into the study states that the a concern is primarily a perceptual one which is not confirmed by the projected traffic counts that would be generated within the adjacent neighborhood by this project. In analyzing the possible neighborhood impacts the traffic study defines an "acceptable" level of residential street traffic when traffic volumes are equal to or less than 2.00 vehicles per minute. The highest. projected volumes generated by the Miracle Center project were equal to 1.0 vehicles per minute. The peak volume (9:00 P11 to 11:00 PM) found within the neighborhood impact study area at present is approximately 1.4 vehicles per minute. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL. Based on conceptual plans dated August 25, 1986, subject to the following conditions: a. The design of vehicular egress on the eastern boundary of the site shall eliminate any possibility of traffic moving northward on 33rd Avenue. No left turns shall be permitted upon exiting the building onto S. W. 33 Avenue. The final plans must be reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Works and the Planning Department. b. A traffic study is to be undertaken similar to the "Traffic Monitoring Program" submitted by the applicant, under the direction of the Planning and Public Works Departments, at the expense of the applicant,, not to exceed Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) Dollars, one year after the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the theaters, in order to establish the degree of traffic intrusion into the adjoining residential areas as a result of this development. If the traffic volume is found to increase fifty percent (50t) above the present volume, or the traffic on any link exceeds two vehicles per minute for any time period between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday, on any link north of the project as indicated in Exhibit 1 of the "Traffic Monitoring Program: dated August 29, 1986, prepared by David Plummer b Associates, the Department of Public Works and the Planning Department may propose to the City Commission the closing to traffic of 33rd Avenue from the northern boundary of the subject property to 21st Street, or alternative remedial measures. If the City Commission approves the closing to traffic, the applicant shall, at his sole expense, design and build a cul-de-sac, or an equivalent device, to allow turn around movement without affecting neighboring properties. The plans shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works. If 33rd Avenue were to be closed to traffic, the portion of this street to be closed shall be landscaped and maintained permanently by the applicant according to conditions established in a covenant to be prepared prior to the issuance of a building permit, and subject to review and approval by the Law Department and the Planning Department. The landscaping plan for S. W. 33rd Avenue must be prepared to meet conditions established by the Planning Department. Page 6 of 7 4 The applicant must deposit a bond or Letter of Credit for Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars with the Planning Department for a period running 2 years from issuance of a certificate of occupancy in order to insure compliance. e. A traffic signal light is to be installed at S. W. 33 Avenue and Coral Way at the sole expense of the applicant prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. d. The north landscaped buffer area shall be increased from 10 feet to 20 feet in depth, and heavily landscaped to buffer the adjacent single-family uses. The landscape plans shall be approved by the Planning Department prior to issuance of a building permit: e. The owners shall be responsible for perpetual maintenance of the access easement and all landscaping. f. All required parking located within the structure shall be provided without charge to patrons of the building. This requirement shall not preclude the use of a ticket validation system. g. Loading hours shall be restricted to occur only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. SR/JAL/rj !2 LI i aw a?

I. Project Description. The site contains 3.46 acres. The project covers 2.29 acres leaving 1.7 acres of open space. The project consists of the following uses: 158,883 square feet of retail/service; a 2,270 seat-10 screen movie theater; a 998 car parking garage; and a 140 unit residential tower. The project will be built in two phases. Phase i contains the retail/service, theater and parking components of the project and is scheduled to begin construction in October 1986 and complete construction approximately 14 months thereafter. Phase II, containing the residential component of the project, is scheduled to begin immediately after Phase I completes and take approximately ten months for its completion. Parking for Phase II will be provided in Phase I. II. Relationship to Existing Zoning and Adopted Comprehensive P an . The subject property is designated for General Commercial use on the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and the property is zoned CR-3/7 under this designation to include retail, theatre and residential uses. (See attached Map of Existing Zoning in area.) No change in land use designation or existing zoning is proposed or necessary. In addition, the proposed project complies with all zoning requirements and therefore no variances are requested. III. Relationship to Surrounding Existing Uses. I As reflected on the attached map entitled "Existing Land Use Map" the subject property is bounded on the east, west, and south by land designated for General Commercial use. To the north of the subject property the land is designated for Low Density Residential use. The project development plan includes a ten foot wide land- scape buffer along its northern boundary. This dense landscaping (see landscape plan submitted with this filing) combined with the proposed six foot high masonry wall will create a visual and sound buffer to the existing residences to the north. In addition, the loading docks to serve the site which could not be located along Coral Way because of traffic safety factors and aesthetic considerations, have been located in the northeast corner of the site which is the deepest portion of this narrow rectangular parcel. The loading docks are also completely enclosed and are separated from the northern property line by the ten foot landscape buffer, and a 21 foot wide access road. In addition, the incoeporation of rental apartments into this project gives it the character of a transitional use between the single family residences to the north and the intensive commer- cial use along Coral Way. - 2 - 4 a DRVSLOPMENTAL IMPACT STUDY OMIRACL$ CSRTER'° 3300 CORAL WAY RIAMI, FWR.IDA This Developmental Impact Study is submitted pursuant to Section 2802.3, Ordinance 9500, City of Miami Zoning Code. As reflected by the following information, the proposed development will have a favorable impact upon the economy, public services, environment, and housing supply of the City and the region. I. Impact on the Economy ► This mixed use development will provide far more taxes to the local government than presently generated by the abandoned supermarket located upon the site. In addition, subsidiary r development can be anticipated to be generated in the form of ,j renovation or redevelopment of surrounding commercial uses. Approximately 422 employment opportunities can be expected to be s generated by this development: the retail uses should generate �I one employee per 400 square feet of leaseable area or 397 jobs; the theater should generate 15 jobs; and, the parking facility should generate four jobs, and the apartment tower should generate six jobs. 0 II. Impact on Public Services A. Sewage Flow 1. The flow of sewage has been estimated to be approximately 220,000 gallons per day, including the apartment uses planned for the second phase. 2. No treatment will be performed on sanitary sewage, which will be discharged to the sanitary sewer collection system of Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority. 3. The system maintained by Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority has the capacity to handle the sewage from this facility (see attached letter from Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department). H. Potable Water Supply 1. Potable water will be obtained from the water distribution system maintained by Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority. Approximately 260,000 gallons per day of water will be utilized by this facility including the apartment uses. The present system has capacity to supply this demand. (See attached letter from Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department.) 2. Non -potable water supply: groundwater may be utilized for landscape irrigation purposes. 2 , Co Solid Waste Generated 1. Pounds per day by land use: Apartments (150 bedrooms) 4 pounds per bedroom 600 lbs/day Restaurants (25#280 GLA; 722 seats) 3 pounds per seat 2,167 pounds per day . Theater (2,270 seats) .17 pounds per seat, 386 pounds per day Retail and Service (100,283) 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet 501 pounds per day Total 3,654 pounds per day i 2. Capacity of disposal facility: the developer will contract with a private firm for disposal of all solid waste generated by the project. D. Impact on Transportation Network (see attached report prepared by David Plummer and Associates). E. Daily Energy Demand 1. Florida Power and Light Company has existing facilities adequate to serve the project. See attached project information sheet for energy demand. 3 20 4b f F. Available Fire and Police Protection. Attached hereto are letters from the City of Miami Police Department and Fire Department expressing their ability to provide service to the proposed project. III. Impact Upon the Environment 1. WaterQuality: a. Potential Impacts to Existing Water Bodies receiving Discharge from the Project and their Current State Water Quality Classification. The conceptual drainage system for Miracle Center is based on complete on -site d.sposal of the design rainfall event. This system will minimize off -site runoff by discharging into the relatively saline reaches of the Biscayne Aquifer. The salt water intrusion line (1,500 ppm chloride line) is located approximately 3/4 mile west of the project. No significant adverse impacts are projected due to drainage from the proposed project. b. Potential Impacts to Ground Water from Pollution, Run-off, or Salt Water Intrusion. The entire site is currently planned as a single drainage area with an interconnected drainage system. Runoff from impervious surfaces will be collected in catch basins and routed by pipes to sedimentation boxes. Injection pumps will - 4 - TF , 4 4 then discharge the runoff through drainage wells into the lower Biscayne Aquifer. Catch basins receiving water from washdown of the parking areas inside the parking garage will incorporate oil and grease traps. The developer of Miracle Center. will comply with the appropriate State Department of Environmental Regulation and Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management guidelines and permitting requirements. 2. Site Clearance. The site is presently occupied by an abandoned grocery store. The balance of the site is an asphalt paved parking lot. There is no existing vegetation to be disturbed. 3. Surface Drainage: a. Potential impacts to pre -development drainage conditions. There will be no adverse effects to the drainage conditions since the site is presently paved to almost 100% of its area. The proposed project will include pervious areas with considerable more landscaping. All rainwater will be disposed of within the prop- erty limits. b. Description of storm water disposal systems. Deep wells will be utilized to dispose of storm water flows within the property. The number and size of the wells will be governed by the areas of collection, spacing of wells, etc. - 5 - M s No storm water will be discharged to city drainage systems, canals, etc. Properly sized settling tanks will be used to separate solids heavier or lighter than water before storm water flows are discharged through the deep wells. 4. wetlands. The site does not contain any wetlands nor are there any surrounding the site. S. Dredge and Fill. No dredge or fill is proposed to complete the project. 6. Natural Vegetation. No natural vegetation exists on the site. 7. Threatened or Endangered Plant and Animal Species. No threatened or endangered plant or animal species exist on the site. No habitat for these species exists on the site. IV. Impact on Housing Supply The proposed project will increase the availability of rental housing in an area where such housing opportunities are not widely available. pa 3 i - i a DJSCLGSUF.E OF 01%NEPSHIP 1* teal description as-e street A3ress of soDjem veal prgmrty: SEE A!-Mrh' F 3T3 ►'A° 2.

OTHER DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC The City of Miami and the City of Coral Gables were contacted to determine any other development activity within the Project study area. A number of developments were identified, particu- larly located .west of the Project within the City of Coral Gables. One additional development, within the City of Miami, located immediately south of this Project on Coral Way was also identified. The locations of these Projects are shown on Exhibit 4. Pertinent data for these developments is summarized below. Proposed Development Name Location Uses Intensity 1. ---- Coral Way/ Office & 185,0000 GFA S.W. 34th Ave. Retail 2.

Retail 50,0000 GLA Hotel 117 Rooms - 3 - s UJI Traffic volumes associated with these developments are all based on data contained in the ITE Trip Generation Report. The assignment of traffic to the street network is based on the cardinal distribution previously identified for Miracle Center as well as a review of a number of traffic studies -that were undertaken for these other developments. PROJECT TRAFFIC Trip Generation Rates The Institute of Transportation Engineers' publication entitled Trip Generation an Informational Report, Third Edition was reviewed to determine the appropriate trip generation rates to be used for the various components of this Project. Although this report provides the most comprehensive source of trip generation rates, a number of the uses proposed for this site are not included. Trip Generation Data on restaurants, retail and apartment uses are contained in the report but no information is available regarding movie theaters and/or health spas. An article published in the June 1985 ITE Journal contains information on Trip Generation Rates for movie theaters. This data is provided by movie theater screen based on documenta- tion that the number of seats is not the determining factor in Trip Generation Rates for movie theaters. During the course of this study the trip generation rates contained in the ITE Journal were reviewed with the author relative to the applicability of there rates to multi -screen theaters.W"c WOW - 4 - 3 3 y the author's opinion, with which we concur, that the trip generation rates should not be applied to all screens in theater complexes in excess of 6 to 8 screens. The reason for this is that typical industry standard is to stagger movie starting times by 10 to 15 minutes. Under this scenario a maximum of 6 features would start and end during the peak hour. However, in order to account for early arrivals and late departures ( a "worst case" analysis) one (1) screening on either side of the peak hour could be included. The analysis contained in this report assumes a maximum of 8 screenings will be generating traffic during the peak hour. As indicated above, the ITE trip generation report does not contain any trip ,generation rates for health spas. Additional literature review including the Arizona Department of Transportation's Trip Generation Intensity Factors (TGIF) and the Florida Department of Transportation's Trip Ends Generation Research reports did not provide the required data. Because none of the Trip Generation reports contain any information on trip generation rates for health spas, the trip rates provided for retail uses of a similar size were applied to this use. The ITE Report contains trip generation rates for 9 categories of shopping centers from under 50,000 GLA to over 1,250,000 GLA. In determining the appropriate rate for this project it is important to note that the retail establishments of Miracle Center are not typical (i.e. no large anchors) of a "Stri 5 - q0 • center." The mall concept, the building bulk, multiple stops and the provision of parking in a garage structure would indicate trip characteristics of a center in the 200,000 to 299,999 GLA category. The lower trip rate for this size facility is indicative of a high incidence of multi -purpose trips (i.e. trips to more than one retail establishment) which is also typical of mall type retail centers. Trip Generation Rates and the resultant Trip Generation for each of the proposed uses in Miracle Center are shown on Exhibit 5. Adjustment Factors Typically, ITE trip generation rates are for free standing facilities in suburban locations. Consequently, they do not account for transit trips, walk trips, and the internalization of trips that occurs in a multi -use facility. Adjustments to the traffic volumes shown on Exhibit 5 have to be made to determine the total number of inbound and outbound external trips during the PM peak hour. Internalization of vehicle trips accounts for multi -use trips where for example trips to the retail uses will also be trips to the restaurants and to the movie theaters. An adjustment to account for transit trips is based on the fact that there are a number of bus routes presently existing along the Coral way corridor. The Project's location adjacent to a residential airea will also result in a number of walk-in trips particularly to the retail shops and movie theaters. `. - 6 - Sri center."

This research has focused on categorizing shopping trips. A January, 1981 article in the ITE Journal (Appendix A) identified three trip -categories as follows: 1. Primary Shopping Trips - Trips from home to shopping and return to home which are potentially new trips. 2. Diverted.Linked Trips - Trips in which the shopping trip is one of a sequence of trips and which involves a route diversion. 3. Undiverted Linked Trips - Trips which are the same as diverted linked trips with no significant route diversion. These trips should be excluded from the assignment to the adjacent roadways since they are already on the adjacent roadways. Data was collected during the PM peak hour for a regional center of approximately 1.2 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). Survey results, summarized below, show that 25% of the retail center's trips were already on the adjacent roadways and should be excluded from the assignment. -7- q2 r a Trip Category Primary Shopping Trip Diverted Linked Trip Undiverted Linked Trip Distribution 35% 40% 25% Since publication of the above referenced article, additional field research has been conducted to determine the amount of "capture" from the passing through traffic. That data (Appendix B), which is presently being prepared for publication, suggests that there may be a correlation between the shopping center size and the amount of "capture." Our analysis of that data shows the "capture" for shopping centers between 200,000 and 299,999 GLA is approximately 40. Based on this more recent information the analysis contained in this report assumes that 40% of the trips destined to and from the retail components of Miracle Center are already "on the road". Adjustment factors applied in this analysis are shown on Exhibit 6. Exhibit 7 shows the total number of inbound and outbound external trips generated by Miracle Center during the PM peak hour. TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT The cardinal distribution of traffic to and.from the Project is based on data from the Miami Urban Area Transportation Study (MUATS) for the appropriate Traffic Analysis "Lone (TAZ,%7 - 8 - s data provided by the Metro Dade County Department of Public Works is summarized below. To and from the north - 33.0% To and from the south - 20.1% i To and from the east - 22.5% To and from the west - 24.49 100.0% The assignment of traffic based on this distribution is shown on Exhibit 8. This Exhibit shows the number of PM peak hour Project trips assigned to the major roadways in the area. This assignment is reflective of the Project driveways as located on S.W. 33rd Avenue on the eastern property boundary and on Coral Way on the western portion of the site. The driveway on S.W. 33rd Avenue is proposed to provide all inbound and outbound turning movements whereas the Coral Way entrance will be limited to inbound and outbound right -turns only. The analysis contained in this report is based on the PM peak hour. A review of existing traffic counts shows that the PM peak hour is substantially higher than the AM volumes for the roadway links analyzed. In addition, the proposed uses in this Project are also higher trip generators during the PM peak hour than during the A14 peak hour. Exhibit 8 also shows the percent consumption of Project traffic for Level of Service "D" service volumes. Project tra� - 9 - well below*10t of the Level of Service "D" service volume which is the State criteria for. determining substantial impact. The Level of Service "D" percent consumption is provided consistent with this being an acceptable peak hour level of service in Dade County. ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS Based on projected traffic volumes and turning movements the geometric and traffic control improvements listed below are proposed for the Coral Way/S.W. 33rd Avenue intersection. Incidentally, the existing median opening on Coral Way is very narrow (approximately 30 feet). This narrow opening could cause an interlocking of left -turning vehicles that would then result in turning vehicles partially blocking the thru-lanes. For that reason the additional width of median opening is recommended. IMPROVEMENTS 1. Provide intersection signalization. 2. Widen the existing median opening on Coral Way to accommodate eastbound and southbound left -turns. 3. Construct an eastbound left -turn lane on Coral Way. Signalization Justification There are 11 warrants, adopted by the Federal Highway Administration which are used to determine the need for - 10 - 4 intersection signalization. If an intersection meets one or more of these warrants signalization is justified. Based on the analysis contained in this report, Warrant 11 - Peak Hour Volume is satisfied since the projected peak hour volume of 206 vehicles exceeds the 150 vehicles per hour lower threshold volume for a minor street (S.W. 33rd Avenue) approach with two or more lanes. The projected volume (3,494 vph) on the major street (Coral Way) approaches also exceeds the major street threshold (1,800 vph). Intersection Level of Service Using the above proposed improvements and projected traffic volumes a detailed intersection capacity analysis was undertaken for this intersection. This analysis (Exhibit 9) shows that with signalization and the other improvements the Coral Way/S.W. 33rd Avenue intersection will operate at Level of Service "B". Improvement Justifications The projected eastbound to northbound left -turn volume on Coral Way at the project entrance (125 vehicles) is sufficient to require a separate left -turn lane. The Florida Department of Transportation Manual of Uniform Standards for Design, Construction and Maintenance For Streets and Highways provides standards for the design and construction of left -turn lanes. Although the manual does not give a minimum vehicular volume, 11 - 41L 4 the design standards imply that a minimum 30 vehicles per hour requires a separate left -turn lane. It should also be noted that this portion of Coral Way has been designated a "Historic Highway" and "Scenic Transportation Corridor" by the State of Florida and the City of Miami respectively. Although this designation generally does not allow roadway alterations such as left -turn lanes, there are limited special conditions when minor alterations could be made. The left -turn and median opening improvements recommended in this report will require approval from the various agencies of the City of Miami, Dade Countv and the State. DEVELOPMENT ORDER CONDITIONS The left -turn lane and median opening improvements identified in this section of the report are those which would, under normal circumstances, be implemented to improve traffic operations. However, the public has mandated a historic designation on Coral Way which, by limiting roadway alterations, preserves the historic and cultural resources of that roadway. For this reason these improvements are not an element of the development order for Miracle Center. However, the developers of Miracle Center will work with the appropriate governmental agencies in an attempt to obtain the roadway alteration approvals. If these approvals are granted the improvements will be undertaken immediately. i - 12 - q � 4 0 a CONCLUSIONS The traffic generated by Miracle Center will not have a substantial impact (i..e., less than IOt of the Level of Service "D" service volume) on the adjacent street network. As would be expected, the highest traffic volume (219 vehicles) is directly in front of the Project along Coral way. This section of Coral Way is an unbalanced cross-section in that the westbound roadway has three lanes and the eastbound roadway has only two lanes. Project.traffic represents only 5.3* of the Level of Service "D" service volume on the Coral Way link immediately in front of the a Project. Exhibit 10 presents a synopsis of existing as well as future traffic conditions both without and with the Project. Future Levels of Service are the same (without and with the Project) for all roadway links ex ept for Douglas Road south of Coral Way. With Project traffic a peak hour Level of Service "B" ` condition is projected for this roadway link. This is an +; acceptable level of service in Dade County. o, fie JONE r s — 13 — ALR �y y • OJECT LOCATION .T.S.

Slade, P.E. and Frederick E. Gorove, P.E. Traffic generated by regional shopping centers can have major imocts on traffic conditions in the vicinity of such developments. and measurable impacts on microscale and mesoacate air quality conditions. Because of this, the trip generation characteristics of regional stopping centers have been studied extensively and are well documented. Typically. these studies have involved a field survey in which the number of vehicles or people crossing a cordon line around the regional shopping center have been counted to provide seasonal, daily, and hourly estimates of the number of vehicle trips or person trips crossing the cordon line. Estimates of trip generation rates, expressed as directional vehicle trips per thousand square feet of gross leasable area of shopping center floor area have been derived from these empirical studies and are utilized in typical analyses of regional shopping center impacts in the following manner. 1. The number of trips generated by the shopping center is estimated using the derived trip generation rates. 2. These trips are distributed and assigned to Ito highway network which serves the site on the basis of some assumed distribution of the remote ends of the shopping trips (usually in proportion to the residential Population in the trade area). and along the rrinirnum time travel path on the highway network betwoen the remote trip end and the shopping center. 3. The assigned highway link 16 ITE Journal/January 1981 volumes are then added to ambient traffic on the highway segments to provide an estimate of traffic after the center is opened. The estimate of ambient traffic Is either existing traffic or existing traffic with soma compensation for traffic growth which would occur regardless of the development. This approach has an inherent assumption that the trips to the new development are new trips which were not made prior to development. This is incorrect since the presence of the new shopping center does not generate the demand for the goods which it provides. In fact, most of these trips are already being made to other commercial centers and, as cited in a September 1978 Journal article, recent studies at a number of locations have shown that new commercial centers can lead to a net reduction in average shopping trip length when placed within market areas presently underserved by retail facilities. A second assumption inherent in this approach is that all of the shopping trips are primary trips. That is, the primary purpose of the trip is for shopping and the trip pattern is home to shopping center and return to home. Actually, for a portion of the shopping center trips, the stop at the stopping center is a secondary part of a linked trip such as from work to stopping center to home. This is particularly the case where the center is located in a travel corridor which is highly congested during certain periods of the day. It is unlikely that shoppers will make primary trips to such a center due to the perceived aggravation and time cost involved. The linked trips fall into two categories: the shopping center portion of the trip "lit involve a route diversion where the trip is taken off one section of the highway network and occurs on another section in order to divert to the shopping center, or, the shopping center portion of the trip may involve no route diversion and the trip may simply be part of the existing traffic flow on the highway adjacent to the center. in this latter case, the stop at a shopping center involves no new traffic on the adjacent roadways, but does involve changes in the traffic turning patterns at the driveway entrances along the adjacent roadways. The research described in this article sought to determine the relative share of shopping trips in each of three trip categories is defined as follows: 1. Primary Shopping Trips. These are trips from home to shopping and return to home which may be entirely new trips generated by the shopping center. More likely. these are primary shopping trips which were made to another center in the region which are now being made to arils center because It is more convenient. 2. Diverted United Trips. These are trips in which the stop at the shopping center is pars of the sequence of stops within the total linked trip. rind where We shopping , stop required a significant route diversion from the route that would otherwise be followed if We stopping stop were not made. 3. Undlverted United Trip#. These trips are the same as the diverted L RE .% Nnked nip but no significant route dlveraion is Involved. PURPOSE This research was Conducted to provide omoricpf evidem, # which will be useful in estimating regional shopping center impacts. This trip stratification should tkr built into the sequential analysis described in the introduction of this article, In the Cass Of microscale analyses of traffic conditions and air quality impacts in the immediate site vicinity, the undiverled linked trips should be excluded from the assignment of Shopping Center generated trips to the adjacent highways since these trips are already on the adjacent highways. In broader mesoscale analyses, the diverted and undiverled linked trips should be excluded from estimates of air quality impact since the differences In these trips before and after the development occurs are not measurable. Finally, only a portion of Ow primary shopping trips should be included in mesoscale analyses since many of these trips are already being made to other shopping centers. A net reduction in vehicle miles of travel may result due to the development of the new center. This researcti did not provide information relative to this phenomenon and further research is required. METHODOLOGY The approach used in this study involved an interview survey with a sample of the shoppers arriving at a regional shopping center during the evening peak period. This is a critical period in an impact analysis since it is usually during this period that traffic congestion is most significant. Interviews were conducted between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM. The center at which the survey was conducted is about ten years old; it is located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region in a major radial travel corridor about 10 miles from the center of the region. The center has about 1.2 million square feet of gross leasable floor area in a three department store mall configuration. The area in the vicinily of the center contains a major suburban diversified development with office, other retail, commercial, and residential land uses. The sample unit was the vehicle rather than the individual since interviews were conducted with OfOups of persons as they left their automobiles in the parking areas and walked to the entrances Of the shopping center. An attempt to assure randomness In the sarmple was made by piecing eight interviewers uni"ly around the exterior entnences to the shopping mratt and the department stores. A simple interview involving three questions was developed. The content of the questions was suggested to the interviewers but flexibility was allowed. All of the Interviewers were professional staff persons and their judgment in the wording Of questions and in the interpretation of anirwers was encouraged. The interview process involved three steps: sample select. interview, and record data. The inlerviewers were instructeG a observe arrivals Of vehicles h the parking lot and to appoach the vehicles' occupants as they walked towards the shopping center entrance. Following a brief introduction, the i, •erviewer would ask two questions: 1. "Did you come directly to the shopping center from home?" 2. "Will you go directly home from here?" The first two questions were designed to determine the category of the place that the shopper(s) had come from prior to coming to the shopping center and the place that the shopper(s) would be going to after they left the shopping center. It the answer to both questions was "yes," the trip was categorized as primary, and the interview was terminated. It the answer to either question was "no," this indicated that the stop at the shopping center was part of a linked trip and the interviewer went on to the third question to determine if the shopping center portion of the linked trip involved a route diversion. 3. "Would you have passed by the shopping center regardless of whether or not you stopped?" (or would you have been on a different route?) The parenthetical expression was included on the interviewer's form simply to help them clarity the question if necessary. A "yes" answer to question 3, (coupled with a "no" answer to either question t or question 2, or both 1 and 2) indicated that the trip was not diverted from another route and would have passed by the stropping center anyway. A "no- answer k0rosted that a route diversion was InvOtved. In summary, on the basis of this information, the trip we4 categorited into a primary trip v"oli, a linked trip. ff thee trip was primary, the interview was teerminaQteed. if it was a linked trip, tits third question was asked to determine if the stop at the shopping Center invcs-pd a route diversion. FINDINGS A total of 364 successful interviews were conducted. The table below indicates the the distribution of interview responses into the three trip categories. Thirty-five percent of the trips were primary trips wherein the shoppers initiated a single purpose shopping trip during the PM peak hour. Forty percent of the trips were diverted linked trips. The majority of these were persons stopping at the shopping center as part of their trip from work to home Or from other purpose to home and who made a route diversion to do so. The remaining 25 percent of the trips would have passed by the shopping center on the adjacent roads regardless of their stop at the shopping center. The stop tended to be one of convenience. Dintributfon Trip of Category Responses 1. Primary Shopping Trip 35% 2. Diverted Linked Trip 40% 3. Non -Diverted Linked Trip 2,L% .. of ' e," • 100% SAMPLE SIZE AND STATISTICAL VALIDITY The subject survey involved sampling for proportions in which the interview units were classified into two classes: (1) those whose shopping center trip was a primary trip, and (2) those whose shopping center trip was part of a linked trip. This second class was then further subdivided into two classes: (2a) those who made a route diversion, and (2b) those who did not maker a route diversion. The sample size for each of these classifications and the estimate of the proportions are summarized below: Samples Size Oropoi tions First Classification 364 35:65 Second Classification 2�r�, 6 0h We can estimate lute degree of precision obtained with the sample. Since the estimated proportion p is normaty distributed about the true proportion P, It will lie in the range (P t 2) p), apart from a 1 in 2 chance. Further, p - PQ/n where p is the standard error of P P is the proportion in class 1 Q is the proportion in class 2, that is 0 — P) n is the sample size Then, for a given sample We, the accuracy of the estimate p is given by, p••(P32P) p— P- t 2 p p—PR*2PQ/n Therefore, the estimate of primary shopping trips as a percentage of total shopping trips is 35 percent plus or minus 5 percent. The estimate of diverted linked trips is 40 percent plus or minus 6.3 percent, and the estimate of non -diverted linked trips is 25 percent plus or minus 6.3 percent. CONCLUSION Thu, research endings reported in this article support the hypothesis that the assumptions inhen►nt in the typical impact analysis of a regional Chopping center overestimate ilia impacts due to traffic go". retell by thet center, particularly during the evening peek commuter period. This indicates that both microscale and mesosscate analyses techniques should be modified to account for the fact that a new development: (1) does not generate entirely new primary shopping trips, but rather diverts existing primary trips from other retail establishments, and (2) intercepts existing linked trips. Further research is necessary to examine this phenomenon in more detail. Primary shopping trips should be investigated to determine how travel patterns of this type of trip change given a new retail development: How many new trips are generated? To what extent does the convenience of a new center reduce vehicle miles of travel? The type of surrey described in this article should be conducted at other centers which Past Presidents' Award Competition Deadline: April 30, 1981 iwglbwcy Rai: Any nonstudent member of the Institute who has not reached his or her 35th birthday by the closing date of the competition is eligible.

I have summarized and graphically plotted (copies attached) all data received to date including the Maryland and Connecticut studies which you previously forwarded. Additionally, I plan to include your most recently transmitted data, and have requested additional information from Norman Abend with respect to his studies. Review of the graphs, (particularly the Saturday Plot), suggests Correlation between shopping center size and the amount of "capture" from the passing through traffic. Although not clearly demonstrated on the Weekday graph, my own review of the weekday data indicates that the percent capture on the weekday in the 4-6 PM period is generally 5-10% higher than interview surveys that were conducted from 2 Pki to 9 P.M. This is not surprising, since one would expect a higher number of work to shop to home trips, not involving a route diversion, during this 4-6 PM period. During the next month I plan to prepare a first draft of the study results, once I have performed some Statistical analysis on the Weekday and Saturday data. By way of this letter, should any Committee members have any statistics capability or IBM P.C. software capable of such analysis, please contact me. Likewise if any studies have been completed which can add to this data base, they should also be forwarded. Peter, Charles and Stanley waiting to hear from you.

Also, Per. Lefley said, the applicant will be entering into a fair share agreement with the Fire Department and Police Department for certain services. Mr. Lefley informed the Board that the Planning Department is recommending approval subject to the following conditions: - there be no left hand turns allowed on SW 33 Avenue; - a traffic study funded by the applicant one year after issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the theaters in order to determine the percentage of increase in traffic. Should the increase be more than 50% , the Planning Department and Public Works Department would recommend to the City Commission that SW 33 Avenue be closed from the north property line of the subject site to SW 21 Street. Also, if vacated, this area must be landscaped and maintained by the applicant. Mr. Lefley also said in regards to this condition that the applicant will deposit either a letter of credit or a bond for $50,000 to be held by the City for two years after issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy; - a traffic light be installed at the applicant's expense prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy at the intersection of SW 33 Avenue and Coral Way; - the north 10' landscaped buffer as proposed by the applicant be increased to 20' with landscape plan approval by the Planning Department; - owners be responsible for landscaping and perpetual maintenance of access easement; - all required parking located within the structure to be provided at no charge to the patrons of the building although this does not preclude the use of a ticket validation system; and - loading hours shall be from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Mr. Bill Mackey, representing the Public Works Department, stated the Public Works Department is in agreement with the conditions as set forth in Exhibit "A" except for two of them. Mr. Mackey suggested that an additional sentence be added to condition 8 on page 4 of Exhibit "A" to read as follows: "A left turn prohibition shall be accomplished by driveway configuration and signage which shall be subject to approval by the Public Works Depar tment . " Mr. Mackey said the second item is in the third sentence of the last paragraph of condition 13. Mr. Mackey suggested that the sentence read as follows: "The landscape plan shall be subject to the standards and approval of the Planning Department; not less than $50,000 shall be the cost of the cul- de-sac or an equivalent device or turn around including landscaping." Mr. Mackey further stated that the sanitary sewers in the area will be able to handle the additional sewage. Also, this property will be required to be replatted prior to any building permits being issued. 10/1/86 2 Summary Minutes-6 Planning Advisory Board 7 2- R Mr. Avro-, c Per ea-1,ocon eG P,3rrinistor e6 oath to all persons wishing to tP c t i f-Y ,) th j c 3 t.

Ms. Orshefsky said there is also a separate entrance for the apart-ment residents and then pointed to the entrance which is located off of SW 33 Avenue, Ms. OrshefsY.y stated she has reviewed the conditions suggested by both the Public Works Departr•nent and the Planning Department and agrees with all of them except two which are conditions 3 and 17 of Exhibit "A" as proposed by the Planning Department. Ms. Orshefsky asked in reference to condition 3 of Exhibit "A" that the statement "Air distri.butina using a variable air volume system" include the wording "to the extent -feasible". Ms. Orshe£sY,y said the reason for this is that the architect has told her that it will not be possible to provide for a variable rate in every part of the building. In reference to condition 17, Ms. Orshefsky asked that the height of the wall be allowed to be increased from 6' to 8' and that the 20' buffer as recommended by the Planning Department be decreased to a minimum of 10'. Ms. Orshefsky said in actuality there is a 31' buffer which includes the 10' buffer being provided by the applicant and a 21' access roadway. Also, Ms. Orshefsky said, there is a 10' easement along the north of, the subject site which can not be built in and she does not believe the additional 5' to 10' requested by the Planning Department will make a difference in the noise and visual impacts which is what the Planning Department is trying to reduce; this is supported, she said, by literature on landscaping and acoustical controls. Ms. Orshefsky informed the Board that the applicant is willing to make available a $500 cash allowance to each lot owner on the north side of the masonry wall so that the lot owner may add additional landscaping on his side of the wall. To provide a 20' buffer, Ms. Orshefsky said, would require significant changes in the plan. Ms. Orshefsky reiterated what was stated by staff in that the applicant will do the following: - provide a traffic signal at the intersection of SW 33 Avenue and Coral Way; - make left hand turns on to SW 33 Avenue physically impossible; and - fund a traffic study one year after the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the theaters in order to determine if the traffic projections were correct. If the projections are correct, the amount of cars will be within the acceptable limits of the National Standards for Community Impact. If the projections are wrong, however, then the community can decide whether or not they wish to close SW 33 Avenue north of the site. - the closure of SW 33 Avenue will be paid for by the applicant and will include landscaping. The money will be guaranteed because the applicant will file a letter of credit or bond with the City to take care of the closure should the closure be required. In closing, Ms. Orshefsky pointed out that this project is being designed according to code with no zoning changes, special exceptions or variances being requested. Ms. Orshefsky asked that the Board grant the request with the changes she has proposed for conditions 3 and 17. 10/l/86 3 Summary Minutes 86 Planning Advisory Board 73 Mr. Pedro L.r_pF asked tis.

Orchsf0-y respca 6P6 ;hat ttiie easement is located on the north Rice of tie north property line. She said Ph(* pointed this out just to ahc-• t?iere ie a3rFady an additional 30' buffer in that the property o�.-nRrs are not allowed to build within the easement. Mr, Orshefsky i.nforme-d tha Poard the applicant is already having a 33 ' buffer with 36' in rye portions. Mr. R ayn( and Asmar axke6 what the wid" of roadway in the rear war, Mtn. Orshefsky stated that the: roadway was 21' with a portion being 45' in order to provide turnability for the trucks. Mr. Herbert Lee Simon asked if the additional 163 parking spaces being provided is additional in terms of phase I or both phases. Ms. Orshefsky stated that it will be 163 additional spaces for the whole project. One hundred and fifty-four of those spaces, however, will be designated for the residents of the apartments at the time the second phase is built. Mr. Simon asked what the time frame was on the construction of the project. Ms. Orshefsky said the applicant is hoping to begin construction of the first phase this November with completion in twelve months; the second phase is proposed to begin in the winter of '87 with a completion date twelve months later. Upon a request from Mr. Aaron Manes, Ms. Orshefsky pointed out on a rendering the exits to the project, one being from the _ parking garage onto SW 33 Avenue and one from the access road for trucks on to SW 33 Avenue. Mr. Manes asked that the access road for loading trucks also have the same configuration and signage as the exit from the parking garage in order to prohibit left hand turns on to SW 33 Avenue. Ms. Orshefsky agreed to the request to prohibit left hand turns onto SW 33 Avenue from the access roadway. Mr. Donald Benjamin asked at what height above grade does the landscaping begin. Mr. Reynaldo Perez, a landscape architect, responded that beyond the service road is a 6" curb. After that, Mr. Perez said, there is a mass of shrubbery along the foot of the wall. So basically the landscaping will be 6" above grade. Mr. Perez said there will also be an 8' wall and tall trees acting as a buffer. The trees, Mr. Perez said, will be 18' to 20' in height and will grow to 35' to 50' in height. Mr. Benjamin asked what is the height of the parking structure. Mr. Perez said the height is 851. Mr. Perez added that the amount seen by the property owners will be minimal due to the angle in which the individual would be standing at and the area seen by normal vision. Mr. Benjamin asked at what level the parking would begin and at what height. Mr. Perez responded that the parking would begin at the third level at approximately 45' in height. r 10/1/86 4 Summary Minute r 7/86 Planning Advis _ '74-1 r Mr. per_4"xm n €aiti he is 07,0 n0iFe and odor from the care, pe tbll,n rske��s f t._he crave k rn e+�+en garage.

Also, the compactor is neither opened nor ernpti.ed on the site so there will not be an odor problem. Mr. ,7crge pedraza asked if all cars coming from the porte cochere to the Garage and all service trucks drive through the rear of the property. Ms. OrshefsY.y responded that is correct. - In clarifying a 1,oint, Mr. Pedraza asked if the width of the roadway was 21 Ms. Orshefshy responded yes along with a 10' to 15' buffer area. Mr. Bernardo Fort -Brescia informed the Board that the main entrance will be on SW 33 Avenue which will lead directly to the garage. The other entrance near the treaters on the west side of the property is an alternate entrance. Mr. Fort -Brescia said he believes most people will park and then come into the mall through the glass elevators and then walk to the use which they intend to go to. In response to the comments made earlier regarding the trees, Mr. Fort -Brescia informed the Board that the trees will provide a large canopy with its branches which will help reduce the noise and visual impacts. h.:. Asmar' asked if the 10' utility easement blends in with the property owner's property or is there a wall of some kind. Me. Orshefsky stated that the easement does blend in with the individuals' property. Mr. Manes asked if the pedestrian entrance would be at ground level. Ms. Orshefsky said she believed it was and then you could go up or down to the other levels. Mr. Manes asked if there is going to be a turn lane made on Coral Way for cars traveling east to allow the cars to turn left into the north entrance near the movie theaters. Ms. Orshefsky responded that there is a continuous median at that point and so the north entrance would only be for use by cars traveling west on Coral Way. Mr. Manes said he was concerned about people dropping off _ individuals, driving around to park and then at the end of the movie those same individuals would have to drive back around the front of the property to pick up the people and then drive around the back in order to get back out of the site. Mr. Manes said it. is possible if the movies let out at the same time to have 1,000 f` trips before the movie and 1,000 after. 10/1/86 5 Summary Minutes /86 Planning hdvis ..,ems MF T.

Mr. Manes said if on a Friday or Saturday night, after the 10 o'clock movie and five of the ten movie theaters let out at the same time, it is possible to have approximately 1,000 people trying to get to their cars. Mr. Manes asked what they will do with 1,000 people trying to get in t3iree or four elevators to get to their car as soon as possible, Mr. Pinder pointed out that most movie theaters operate their movies at 10 to 15 minute intervals so at most only 6 theaters would be emptying each hour with an average of 227 seats per theater. Mr. Manes told Mr. Pinder he is assuming that all the movies will end at different times but that is something which the applicant will be unable to control. Mr. Pinder agreed that it would not be physically possible to have all the movies start or end at the same time because there is not enough onsite parking. In addressing how the individuals go from the movie theatre to the parking lot, Mr. Manes asked how many elevators there were. Mr. Fort -Brescia responded four. Mr. Manes asked if there are also escalators. Mr. Fort -Brescia said yes there are between the various levels but a person would have to take the elevators to get to the parking garage. Mr. Fort -Brescia informed the Board that studies have been done and it was determined that only three elevators would be necessary, however, a fourth one was added - anyway. General Cinema Corporation, who will be the one operating the ten theaters, are aware of the situation and are comfortable with it. It is very unlikely, Mr. Fort -Brescia said, that all ten movies will end at the same time and 100% of the people will want to leave in their cars immediately following the movie. Ms. Orshefsky submitted for the record a letter from Mr. Robert Smith who is the Director of Real Estate East for General Cinema*. Ms. Orshefsky read the letter in the record which stated that General Cinema Corporation evaluates many factors when selecting a site for theaters. Most important is the convenience and sufficiency of parking along with the quality of entrances both to, from and within the mall. General Cinema has reviewed the site plan and finds Miracle Center an ideal location to facilitate theater patronage. Mr. Rodriguez stated for the record that all drawings the applicant is using in the presentation must be made a part of the record if not included as part of the plans*. • f= Mr. Manuel Ramentol stated he is not really against the project but he is concerned about the traffic in the residential 10/l/86 6 Summary Minutes for' 9 7 86 Planning hdvisa 71. ` lQrP�?.0 e}1 �. r;C;y'r1}. i.�g' ARr -it.CJ :aRrrrF,-'. !.yc eT A1;n$_ ?_rr�fC l�T"hncress3i1c c, tj tp ot— �neji DPP.

Secondly, Mr. Aronoff said he d.oep not like the garec a because i.r_ ir. open in the resr which allo•s individuals to look into the ho*+cnexs yards. Thirdly. Kr. Aronoff stated that the property value of the hanes directly abutting the subject site will decrpased. Mr. Aronoff asked that the Board examine the project more carefully and that a better blend with the residences im-nedi a4tely to the north be provided. In referring to the overhead transparency, tr. Lopez asked what the various colors mean, Mr. Rodriguez stated that red means those who responded against the project, green means in favor and blue is other property owned by the applicant. Mr. Charles Hasseler otated he is not against the project but asks that the Board consider the impact on the residential area to the north. ter. Hasseler informed the Board that Coral Gate Drive has turned into a "raceway" and at least one accident per month occurs on it. in addition to this project, Mr. Hasseler told the Board that there is a hotel currently being constructed on SW 37 Avenue which will also be bringing traffic into the area. Mr. Hasseler suggested that both Coral Gate Drive and SW 33 Avenue be closed off with pedestrian gates so the residents of the area can utilize the facilities more readily. Mr. Hasseler stated the closure of thes,- streets may help solve some of the problems although it will not stop people from using SW 21 Street, SW 20 Street and SW 18 Street as a means of access as opposed to Coral Way. Additionally, Mr. Hasseler asked if these ten theaters will be as poorly maintained as the theater next door which has trash flying everywhere. In closing, Mr. Hasseler informed the Board that, if necessary, he will organize his neighborhood in an effort to achieve a better result. Mr. Hasseler asked that a better traffic plan be worked out in order to protect the residential area. During rebuttal, Ms. Orshefsky stated that one of the issues was whether or not the garage could be closed off. Ms. Orshefsky informed the Board that to close off the garage would require a mechanical ventilation system which would contribute to the noise factor. Ms. Orshefsky told the Board that the wall and break are fairly high so hopefully people will not be looking into the neighbors' yards. In regards to traffic, Ms. Orshefsky stated again that a traffic study was prepared and the amount of traffic is within allowable limits including the peak hour projections for this project. Lastly, Ms. Orshefsky said she was happy to see that no one raised the issue of buffering because, in her opinion, there is a significant amount of distance between structures. Mr. Armesto-Garcia asked if pornographic movies will be shown in the theaters. Ms. Orshefsky said the lease prohibits the showing of pornographic movies in the theaters. Mr. Armesto-Garcia asked if any game rooms are proposed to be located in the project. Ms. Orshefsky responded none are proposed. 10/1/86 7 Summary Minutes for. 9/17/86 Planning Adviso Mar.

Me. Orshefsky responded that it was 60' from the property line. Mr. Asmar then asked if the parking garage is 35' from the property line. Ms. Orshefsky responded that is correct. Mr. Armesto -Garcia :asked what the height of the tallest part of the building will be and how many stories will the building be. Ms. Orshefsky responded approximately 170' with 3 floors of retail, 3 floors of parking and 9 floors of residences. Mr. Lopez asked Mr. Pinder if the neighborhood were to organize and he was retained by the neighborhood to perform a study, would his findings be any different. Mr. Pinder responded "no". He said no one is trying to hide the fact that this project will generate traffic that will impact the area and he has worked with thy: City in order to try and minimize the impact on the area. Mr. Lopez asked if Mr. Pinder would recommend closing SW 33 Avenue now rather than waiting for a study to be done in a couple of years. Mr. Finder stated he would not recommend that because there may be some individuals who use 33 Avenue as a means of access to their homes and they may not want it closed. Mr. Pinder informed the Board that 'such a closure would require a consensus of the neighborhood and not just the people present at the hearing. Also, certain City departments would need to approve it. Mr. Manes asked Ms. Orshefsky to state again her offer to the property owners abutting the north side of the subject property. Ms. Orshefsky stated that the applicant is willing to provide a $500 cash allowance to each lot owner who owns property which directly abuts the subject site's north proZ -rty line so that they may add additional landscaping on the north side of the wall which will be provided for by the applicant. Mr. Manes asked if this offer has already been made or is it being done now. Ms. Orshefsky stated that it has not already been done but the applicant is willing to accept it as a condition of the Major Use Special Permit. Mr. Lopez closed the public hearing. In stating his feelings on the project, Mr. Simon said he believes this project will be an improvement to the area Particularly in light of the condition of the old Grand Union. store. Mr. Simon said he does not see many objectors neither at the hearing nor ones that responded by mail.

Mr. Lopez asked for a clarification of the changes. Mr. Armesto--Garcia made a Motion to reopen the public hearing so the applicant could state once again the changes. Mr. Christopher Korge informed the Board that the previous motion must first be withdrawn. Mr. Armesto-Garcia said he withdrew his first motion and makes a second motion to reopen the public hearing for the applicant to restate the changes. The motion was seconded by Pablo Gomez. Under discussion of the motion, Mr. Pedraza said the applicant has already stated the changes to conditions 3 and 17 in the record and he does not believe reopening the hearing is necessary. Mr. Armesto-Garcia stated he is only asking for the public hearing to be reopened because Mr. Lopez asked for a clarification of the changes. Mr. Armesto-Garcia said he is aware of what the changes are. Mr. Lopez said it is not necessary to reopen the hearing and the Board can discuss it amongst themselves. Mr. Armesto-Garcia said if everyone is aware of the changes then he sustains his first motion to recommend approval. Mr. Simon said it is his understanding that the Board can still ask the applicant questions even though the public hearing is closed so he does not see any reason to reopen the public hearing. Mr. Simon made a motion to call the question. The motion to call the question was seconded by Mr. Armesto- Garcia and passed by a 6 to 3 vote (Ayes: Messrs. Lopez, Armesto-Garcia, Benjamin, Gomez, Pedraza and Simon; Nayes: Ms. Hadley and Messrs. Asmar and Manes) .

Mr. Lopez again asked for a clarification of the changes. Mr. Armesto-Garcia said he can not explain the conditions because he does not want to waste another two hours.

In clarifying the situation, Mr. Manes stater that the change to 3 was the request to add the words "where feasible" or words to that effect after the words "air distributing using a variable air volume system." Mr. Manes said the second change is in condition 17 where the original plans called for a 6' masonry wall and the applicant is requesting that it be increased to S' and that the 20' buffer be reduced to a minimum of 10' . In clarifying the motion, Mr. Korge asked Mr. Armesto-Garcia if the motion is to include the two changes just pointed out by Mr. Manes. Mr. Armesto-Garcia responded yes. To further clarify the motion, Mr. Rodriguez asked if the motion included the applicant's recommendation of providing the $500 for landscaping to the property owners abutting the north side of the subject site, the Public Works' recommendations, the Planning Department's recommendations and Mr. Manes' recommendation to obstruct traffic from turning left on 33 Avenue from the rear access roadway. Mr. Armesto-Garcia responded that it did not include any of those items. Mr. Mackey informed the Board that the applicant agreed to the recommendations of the Public Works Department and asked if the conditions then would be included in the motion. Mr. Armesto-Garcia agreed that the recommendations of the Public Works Department are to be included. In restating the motion, Mr. Armesto-Garcia said the motion included all changes proposed by the Public Works Department and Planning Department that the applicant agreed to and the two changes proposed by the applicant. Mr. Benjamin asked if the $500 provision will be included. Mr. Lopez said it was his understanding that the applicant agreed to all of the conditions as stated by the Planning Department. Mr. Manes stated he is unclear as to what the agreement between the applicant and Planning Department is. Mr. Lopez again said it was his understanding that the applicant agreed to all of the conditions as stated by the Planning Department except in regards to items 3 and 17. Mr. Manes said he does not believe that is what Mr. Mackey was making reference to. Mr. Mackey restated his recommendations as an amendment to item 8 by adding a sentence to prohibit left hand turns on to SW 33 Avenue from the site and item 13 by adding the wording "cul- 1 de -sac or an equivalent device for turnaround including landscaping". :i `1 10/1/86 10 ` Summary Minute /86 Planning Advis H 0 0 Mr. rpnA5 ;teyFt' iF therr- wgp not a.Iso a Tt--commendatlon regar6ina Mr . pFacI;ey rFFFoneP6 no.

Mr. Pedraza afiY,ed if the buffer area was 20' or 10' . Mr.' Rodriauez responded 10' to 15' . Mr. Asmar askew if the motion included the $500 allowance. Mr. Manes said that is not included and neither is the no left hand turn on to 33 Avenue from the real- access roadway. Mr. A.rmesto-Garcia said his motion included everything the applicant &creed to so therefore, if the applicant agreed to those conditions, they are included. in clarifying the motion again, Mr. Armesto-Garcia said the motion is to recommend approval including all changes proposed by the Planning Department and Public Works Department which the applicant agreed to and the changes proposed by the applicant for conditions 3 and 17. In reading the motion for the record, Mr. Rodriguez said the motion is to recommend approval as recommended by the Planning Department incc cporating the changes proposed by the applicant for conditions 3 and 17, incorporating the changes to items 8 and 13 as proposed by the Public Works Department, a no left hand turn from the rear service roadway on to 33 Avenue and a $500 landscaping allowance per lot for the property owners abutting the property line on the north. Mr. Lopez said the motion was seconded by Mr. Gomez and the Board was ready for the roll to be taken on the motion. Mr. Pedraza asked again if the motion on the floor is for a 10' buffer with an 8' wall verses the Planning Department's recommendation for a 20' buffer with a 6' wall. Mr. Rodriguez responded that the motion is for an 8' wall with a 10' to 15' buffer. The Planning Department, Mr. Rodriguez said, is willing to accept the 8' wall but not the 10' buffer. Secretary called roll on the motion and the motion passed by an 8 to 1 vote (Ayes: Ms. Hadley, Messrs. Lopez, Armesto-Garcia, Asmar, Benjamin, Gomez, Manes, Simon; Nayes: Messr. Pedraza) . There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. *NOTE: 10/1/86 All exhibits are on file with the Planning and Zoning Boards Administration Department. 11 Summary Minutes for 9 17/86 Planning Advis �l yT (AV *:p +1 t---N I c M i tv'r. le 0 e"k,- PF-0y- Qortj 6 � S t r) MIAMI, FLOPIDA on 4 0cGet�et� Cinema PA3 gh-)h:L General Cinemo Theatres 1280 Bovron sft"T i go, 0100 L / ChestMO Md MA 02167 (617) 277.4= � August 28, 1986 Mr. Sergio Rodriguez Director City of Miami Planning Department 275 N.W. Second Street, 3rd Floor Miami, Florida Re: Miracle Center Cinema Miami, FL Dear Mr. Rodriguez: General Cinema Corporation owns and operates movie theatres throughout the United States. In the process of selecting appro- priate shopping malls for new theatre complexes, we evaluate numerous factors.. The most important factors in selecting a site are whether convenient and sufficient parking is provided on -site by the developer and the quality of pedestrian and vehicular access to/from and within the mall. In selecting "Miracle Center" as a new site for a General Cinema facility, we reviewed the site plan for the mall and the parking garage and found them ideal to facilitate theatre patronage. The synergism traditionally enjoyed by movie theatres, restaurants and retail stores located within the same mall is maximized in the "Miracle Center" design. Therefore, we expect theatre patrons and shoppers alike will have a positive experience when they visit and re -visit "Miracle Center".

Miami, Dade County, and the State agencies concerned with • development/infrastructure, for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating Developments of Regional Impact (Chapter 380. F.S.) and Major Use Projects (Article 28, Miami Zoning Ordinance 9500). These projects are of such size that they typically impact infrastructure beyond the review required prior to issuance of a building permit (e.g. office buildings of more than 200,000 square feet). This Department is concerned that regional and major developers are contacting departments for evaluation of their proposed major projects; evaluations are then being returned to developers directly without copying this Department. This opens the possibility that the City will not be fully apprised of the impact of a proposed major project. It is essential that departmental evaluations of major projects be copied to this Department.

Each fire hydrant shall deliver not less than 1,000 GPM. Test No. 0770 was conducted on the 24 inch water main in Coral Way on October 25, 1984. The results showed a good water supply, well above minimum requirements. Fire Flow Ordinance 74-96 requirements are based on how the property is zoned, not the use of the building. The revision for the proposed second phase, changing from a nine (9) floor hotel to a ten (10) floor apartment tower does not change the Fire Flow Requirements. Later wh%.n more specific information is provided, along with the site plan, it can be determined just what water main im- provements will be required.

A traffic study must be prepared to determined the impact on Coral Way, 33rd Avenue and the Coral Gate Subdivision to the North. The study must also explore the need for a traffic light at Coral Way and 33rd Avenue, and determine if the State of Florida and Metro -Dade will permit the redesign of the .ntersection to allow for left turn lanes on Coral Way. p.

Orshefsky Brickell Contours 1401 Brickell Avenue Miami, Florida 33131 Dear Ms. Orshefsky: In response to `•coo-r request for information regarding the — availability of fire protection and emergency medical services to a proposed 3300000 square foot project to be located at 3300 Coral Way, bounded on the north by S.W. 21 street, on the east by S.W. 33rd Avenue and on the nest by Coral Gate, the following is submitted for your consideration. The South Florida Building Code requires that certain built-in fire suppression capabilities be provided in all new construction. New construction considered as a bae{c development would not adversely affect adequate public fire protection in that area. However, this proposed project may have an adverse impact on the basic fire protection facilities available. The impact of this project on the fire service could become significant in the area of emergency medical services and on -going safety inspections. We are presently developing an Impact Fee to be imposed at building permit issuance and calculated based upon a formula which is not yet completed. Your project may be subject to this fee and/or any requirements for fair share agreements as provided by Development of Regional Impact Orders issued by the South Florida Regional Planni g Council. Presently, the area in question is serviced by Fire Station #8 located at 2917 Oak Avenue. This station contains two (2) Engine Companies, one (1) Aerial Company and one (1) Rescue Company with an on -duty manning force of seventeen (17) firefighters.

W. 34th Avenue. Water and sewer service for the referenced property may be provided by means of connections to the Department's existing water and gravity sewer mains surrounding the property. ' At the present time, we have sufficient plant capacity to serve the referenced property. However, the availability of water and sewer service for that property is conditional upon approval of various regulatory agencies and no continuing unconditional commitment can be made at this time. Consequently, this letter is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a commitment for service. When development plans for the referenced property are finalized, and upon the owner's request, we will prepare an agreement for water and sewer service, provided the Department is able to offer those services at the time of the owner's request. The agreement will detail requirements for offsite and onsite facilities, points of connection, connection charges, capacity reservation and all other terms and conditions necessary for service in accordance with the Department's Rules and Regulations. If we may be of further assistance in this matter, please contact us. Very truly yours, R. B. Lichtenstein Contracts officer REL/sl Cc: Rick Herrera 20
