The Dinner Key Master Plan: 1984, as amended Ddecember, 19849 is hereby approved in principle as a statement of policy objectives for the improvement, enhancement and use of public lands including Peacock Park, Kenneth Myers Park, Dinner Key, the Marina basin including offshore spoil islands, and Kennedy Park, subject to the following amendments which shall supersede all conflicting references, recommendations and graphic depictions within the Dinner Key Report as presented to the City Commission October 19, 1984. Amendments to the Dinner Key Master - Plan shall be as follows: 1. Parking and Circulation - Notwithstanding the need for additional parking in the Dinner Key area as defined in Section 3.20 EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS, there shall be no parking structures built in the Dinner Key area from a Kennedy Park to Peacock Park either a) between South Bayshore Drive and the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center, or b) directly on the waterfront east of Pan American Drive. The provision of public parking for activities within Dinner Key should include joint public -private arrangements whereby private developers may gain development incentives for building excess parking spaces as a part of a development project and assuring the availability of said parking for public use. particularly on an evening and weekend basis. 2. McFarlane Road/Kenneth Myers Park - McFarlane Road as the primary public right-of-way linking the waterfront -' to the retail Village Center should be improved through the widening of sidewalks and landscaping, but without reducing the number of available on -street parking spaces. The vista to the Bay should be enhanced through the moving of existing trees in the median to open a view from McFarlane Road. Existing traffic circulation and parking serving Peacock Park and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club should be maintained except that improved plaza/pedestrian space at the water's edge should Y —j replace parking spaces that now block this area. The Kenneth Myers Park walkway/bike path should be connected to the Peacock Park baywalk proposal. No improved -1 parking facilities should be constructed within Peacock X 4 ; Park or Kenneth Myers Park except for consideration of spillover special event parking in existing grass areas. 3. Merrill Stevens Leasehold - The property currently known 1 as the Merrill Stevens leasehold should be advertised for public proposals to develop a marina, provide a full service boat yard, and supportive innovative services. -2- es-7e E 4. Peacock Park - Within the area currently occupied by shuffleboard courts, a new public plaza should be constructed primarily as a sitting and special events space related to the community center building. The plaza should orient directly to the street area and the public sidewalk along McFarlane Road so as to foster a more open and inviting relationship between the park and the street. Section 2. All specific design and development plans for construction of facilities or improvements recommended in the Dinner Key Master Plan as policy objectives, shall be subject to public review and Commission approval at an advertised public hearing, prior to construction.

To Members of the Planning Board: I am sorry that because I am leaving town, I cannot be here tonight. As a historian who has spent fifteen years researching and writing about Coconut Grove, I know a great deal about the area and am vitally interested in its future as well as its past. I do not live in the Grove but as a life-long, concerned and involved resident of the Miami area, I am sure I care just as much about maintaing the historic, aesthetic and special character of the Grove as anyone. No one can expect the Grove to remain unchanged, but everyone has the right to demand that the primary concern of the City of Miami is to ensure that any plan for the Grove will not destroy its unique character. We are here tonight to respond to the proposed Coconut Grove Dinner Key Master Plan. While there are many parts of the plan which are very good, it is not perfect. Because a group of concerned citizens has taken the time to prepare a concrete alternative to the city's plan, it is imperative that everyone stop and consider only one point: what is best for Coconut Grove. It is not a time for accusations or rancor. Those who support the alternative should not be considered "spoilers" but people who have a different point of view. Each plan has people involved who have a vested interest and it falls upong the members of the Planning Board and the City Commission, who represent the people to consider all alternatives and somehow come to a consensus. It is not an easy task. I would like to specifically point out areas for your consideration. The exhibition hall parking area is already unattractive and no lanscaping will ever be able to hide that fact. The alternative plan provides decked parking combined with a well located, extremely attractive marine oriented retail area near the waterfront to service boating and pedestrian visitors. Coconut Grove is the perfect spot for visiting yachtsmen/tourists as well as local boaters to come and enjoy the area. Their presence would benefit every- one. All along the eastern seaboard other communities have capitalized on this trade but not Miami. It is imperative that a full service marina continue to operate in Coconut Grove. Coconut Grove has always been oriented toward the Bay and its activities and this orienta- tion must continue. A full service marina needs a working boatyard and a working boatyard can not operate effectively { 7� A/�ai�liiM.rlltt?p�~ylL.�?st;►�.'•. 44 As 9.0 or safely with a pedestrian walk-through, as proposed in the City plan. Parking is the greatest problem to be addressed. The egogs of the individual designers, are not something the City should concern itself with --the best solution is the best solution no matter who presents it. The city must not allow parking to dictate everything or ruin the area. Is the city's proposed parking garage off South Bayshore Drive the best solution? Many think not. Parking garages should be placed in areas that service the area where they are needed, and should be placed where there is already intrusion, i.e. in the area proposed by the alternative plan or as a third alternative, at a site nearer the old Coast Guard hanger where surface -parking already exists. If the hanger is to be re -developed as a preforming arts center, it needs parking near by. (What ever is proposed for the hanger should not preclude the boxing gym --which needs to be main- tained.) If the contractual' agreement with Monty Trainor requires additional parking east of Pan American Drive, then it should be placed not on South Bayshore Drive but nearer the Trainor property. Has satellite parking back of the ridge been considered? Peacock Park is the most historic site in Coconut Grove. It is the traditional gathering spot for all Grove citizens and visitors. The city plan for the Peacock Park waterfront is imaginative and appealing. The minimal stage in the footprint of the old Peacock Inn would give the park a link with its past, give preforming artists an appropriate stage an draw people into the park for special events. No parking should be allowed in Peacock Park under any circumstances. The Peacock Park "town square" proposed by the alternate plan is excellent and should be incorporated into the city plan. While removing the angle parking on MacFarlane Road and the parking at the foot of the street would be aestheti- cally appealing, it should not be removed from MacFarlane and put in a park. The existing business district of Coconut Grove is alive and well. It is real, not contrived and has served the community for almost a hundred years. Nothing should be allowed on the bayfront that would draw people away from the existing business district. Marine oriented retail would not detract from the business district, only complement it, and "take away," food service, (as it is known in the Bahamas) such as conch fritters, chicken, .fries, cookies, ice cream etc. would be a wonderful addition. The final landscaping plan for the area should not be as formal as has been proposed in the City plan, but should reflect the tropical lushness, native and Bahamian orien- tation that is the signature of Coconut Grove. Historic 7 — ++±� •r� '�rilN"'4!�+''.i'.'l0:�:�7�A+. '�iC':''�4���Ir+r''1�{1+'.�` :'i!�.0►-? . trees such as the Royal Palms on Pan American Drive and at Kennedy Park should be the overall design consideration in any plan. Of course it goes without saying that there should be coconut trees in Coconut Grove. Would it not be possible for the Planning Board to recommend that a committee be formed that would include both of the architect/planners, members of the city staff, and planning board as well as several interested citizens that could come up with a consensus or at least a well organized written document that would point out the merits and problems of each plan? There is no reason to rush to judgement when so much is at stake. More time and thought is needed. Si erely, D�7- Arva Moore Parks j x, �a k `1 r i fi i i s . i 1 — t j a V50: I.

Analyzing the existing conditions and the direction of change within the study site and its context. 3, Identifying problems and opportunities in the study area and its context. 4. Formulating goals and objectives. 5. Developing alternative solutions. 6. Testing these alternatives and generating a final proposal. 7. Developing implementation strategies and phasing.

In addition, the Seminole boat land- ing (Dinner Key Landing) will be rebuilt to house three boat launch ramps, a thirty car -trailer park- ing lot, new landscaping, and a bait and tackle shop. The bait and Lac:kle shop will be built off axis to 27th avenue Lo preserve the view of the bay from this location; and will provide supplies and fuel for boaters and fishermen. Improvements and expansion to Dinner Key Marina will. include: a iiew bay walk along the water's edge. This bay walk will be landscaped with royal palnt trees and form part of the continuous water access along Dinner Key. 2.c.2 Dinner Key Landscape Entrance Feature The entrance to Pan American Drive from Bayshore Drive is to be highlighted with the creation of a new landscaped'plaza at this location. A water feature, lush landscaping and new pedestrian circulation areas will accent this important open space, forming the gateway into historic Pan American Drive, and re- claiming this area from the present surface parking use. 2.c.3 Pan American Drive Beautification The pedestrian circulation areas adjacent to Pan American Drive are to be improved. A 25' wide section along either side of the existing drive will be devoted to landscaping and a continuous pedestrian circulation path created. This new pedestrian area will provide a continuous pedestrian connection from City Hall to Bayshore Drive.

It• is recommended that these be added at Lite north end of Lite exi.sL-ing facility. Approx- imately between 20,000 to 25,000 sq. ft. of reno- vated mezzanine space and new construction would be required. This expansion would involve new vertical circulation access, food preparation and service areas, A/V production rooms, restroom facilities, waiting rooms and interior finishes commensurate with the quality of convention and conference pro- grams which would be served. 2.c.5 Miami City (tall Adaptive Re -use A detailed re -use study of the Miami City hall. building is beyond Lite scope of this study. flowever, once Lite Miami City flail functions are relocated to Lite new quarters at the Government Center, a new a- daptive re -use should be found for this historic landmark. A re -use idea, which is being seriously consid- ered, is to convert the City (tall building, formerly the Pan American Airship Terminal, into an aviation museum. This idea has been discussed for the last five years. There is at presenL a group of Pan Amer- ican Airways retired pilots, the "Clipper Pioneers", which have approached Lite City with tentative plans to create an aviation memorial at Dinner Key. It has been proposed that a temporary naval. aviation museum be fitted into the enlarged dock is master's office. There is presently Lhe loossibi l ity of bringing a Sikorsky S-43 sea plane to f:he hinr►e.r Key area. 'Fitts sea ptarte_ Is a two engine clowrtsized version of Lite Clipper Ship. They .are known .as "ilahy Clipper".

The grassy knoll at this location will accommodaLe this sea plane. Ancillary facilities; such as meeting rooms, food and hever.atle, etc. slioltld be considered as an integral part of Lhe aviattoot museum. A number of oLhr_r opt -.ions have been ment. lotted as probable reuse func tJons for Ow City hall sl rttc. Lure. It should be kept_ in mind that many or thr�r:ct other options are not initially exr.lttsive with tht• Idea of an aviation mttrettm. Amoivq these arr, a ytrtit h hosLal, a center for community grtntps, a restauraiel , a maritime museum, etc.. Because of the intpnrtanL historic nature of this builclinc3 every effort should be made to obtain an ade_cluat-r. adaptive tr-trse of this sLrucL-ure which minimizes the neetl for ma jt►r alterations.

Minty Total 831 P aces 0 E 23 - A new four level parking structure, approxi- mately not more than 35 feet in height and accom- modating 160 cars per level or a total capacity of 640 cars, is proposed in front of the Merrill Stevens Yachts and Grove Key Marina hangars. This structure would have an architectural terracing ef- fect with landscape planters lining each terraced level. The terraced structure would be a maximum of 100 ft. in depth so as to maximize the amount of open space provided; and be setback at least 100 ft. from the Bayshore Promenade. This structure will serve to preserve the ex- isting Pan American Drive Area from surface parking while also accommodating the increased parking de- mand of the new activities at Dinner Key. This parking facility will also give the City the flexi- bility to negotiate joint -use parking agreements with the developments on the west side of Bayshore Drive (see Parking Analysis section, pages Two other alternatives for the location of the parking structure were analyzed. In the future should the need arise because of increased demand of the Exhibition Center and other facilities additional parking could be provided within the general area of Dinner Key. A number of other alternatives for the location of the parking structure(s) were analyzed. The alternative presented is to place two park- ing decks which will jointly Fold 650 vehicles. One deck on the south side of the exhibition center would allow traffic flow under it and be placed right a- gainst the building. Given a building height of 55 feet, the deck could accommodate two levels with ap- proximately 250 cars (125 cars/per level). At ground level a small amount of water oriented specialty retail would be located. This retail which would not exceed 15,000 square feet would soften the impact of this structure at ground level and help meet 24 some of the shopping needs of the boaters at the marina.

Specifically the new multi -purpose Performing Arts Center, the new specialty retail area at Monty Trainer's and some of the activities on the west side of Bayshore Drive. Entrance and exit to this structure would occur directly off Bayshore Drive and through the existing surface parking area between Monty Trainer's Restaurant and the Virrick Gym. In the future should the need arise because of increased demand of the Exhibition Center and other facilities, additional parking could be provided within the general area of Dinner Key. 2.D PERFORM)NG ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER The old Coast Guard Sea Plane Hangar building and annex which presently houses the Virrick Gym in the hangar and the City of Miami Parks and Recrea- tion Offices at the annex, are proposed to be con- verted into a 500 seat Performing Arts and Cultural Center. The annex is to be demolished, with the Parks and Recreation offices relocated to the Government Center. In its place a new entry plaza and pedes- trian circulation link to the Dinner Key bay walk would be established. This open space would also en- hance a vista of the Bay from Bayshore Drive at this location. a 4 26 I� 6� d a�if9 -(A fI entitle SALp IwjAa 6Z -a. r) AvpSaupaM laillo AtaAa ea.ie buTxoq UTew ayl silzuTin weiboid burxoq 3uasgad at(y-AlTaed -Un 11113 SIT 01 ()aZTTTjn bugsq IOU ST yaTljM Ajjjjo-'3 a 30 ioloul asn ao SAep 3uana ayy aseaiouT 111M jsn-ai aAT3depe pasodoid ayy -Z -papttawwona;t bulaq alto at{ -I se Mans A3T1Tae3 e 301 pa-li tbai SOrisT]aloeamp leaTsAyd atil stay pue uoT3Tpuoa pooh uT sT alnlanjls ayy -1 :sMo11o3 se ale asayl -suosea3 30 iagwnu L, oa anp AqT ITae3 jeln31na asodlnd-T3Tntu e aoj paaTns AlleapT sT alTs wAf) NZTlJTA ayy -a3a 'aaivatyy s.uaipTTya anoag inuoaoo atil 'e1Ta qwn aoueq ay3 se Mons s3ueuaq, TeTaualod jayao pue wA6 aril 3e pasnoy Alluaa.Tno we.Tboad 6UTxop TWUTW 30 A3TJ atil uaaMlaq s3TITUDe3 :1-ioddns pue aoeds 30 huTiec{s ayj iO3 Molle pTnom ialuaa TeznlIna asodind -T3lnw a o3uT AIT1TOe3 atil ;o UOTIenou01 aqL -s3eas 005 04 sleas 05T wol3 pz)ldt_•pe aq PTnoo Buy aeas jeyj os puTw uT AITTTgTxaT3 Wnwrxew 43TM paio3sal aq pjnoM AITTTOe3 sTyl -aaeds a3uewao3iad pa1To.T3u03 a uT saauewaoliad jTayj juasaid uea sdnoib auaaa33Tp aq4 aaagm coeds 40 uoT3TgTyxa ue apTAozd p1noM jalua3 Te3n3Tn:) pue sjjV bupujo3iad pasodoid atjj 113e.Tluoo ul -SISTIle pue sdnoib aiaeay3 'sdnoib anuep 'SUUTaTsnw j03 qny a awoaaq p1noM AITTTae3 sTyy *SjJC auT3 pue TensTA 3o praT3 aqj uT saoinosai uewny 30 quaw -dolanap pue buTuTuil ayj uT quajayuT squawaiinbai I eoTsAyd ate-} alepoww000e p1noM 3aluaD SJIV bUTNIOM atil -3a333s aya SSOIDe JaJu33 6uTUTe3y OA. asau JUAeN atil 103 A3TTTgTssod asn-a.T aATadepe ue se sdnoib A3Tutlwwoa snoT.IeA Aq pasodoid uaaq sey yaTgm IaauaJ s3iV f)tITS(SOM ayy yITM UOT:Iounluoa uT %.

A proposed plan by Lire City of Miami Parks Department and the Biscayne Day Water Management Com- miLLee creates a new boardwalk, close to the water- side of Lite park, along parts of Lice eastern section of Kennedy Park. The boardwalk on Lire waterside will allow for mangrove restoration along the existing shoreline, while allowing the public to access the bay. The tidal swale area is being presently tra- versed by a rock path which is used to gain access to Lite other side. A new foot- bridge across Lite tidal swale will be sensitive to Lite existing environmental condition while providing a more direct connection between the two sections of the park. Along Lite itockerman Canal boundary a new land- scaped buffer and improved shoreline is to be lm- plemented. 2.1 SPOIL ISLANDS- OPEN SPACE RECLAMATION As part of the concept of reclaiming open space for the public's use, the Spoil. islands directly a- cross Dinner Key are to be made accessible to public recreation and converted into passive parkland. The island directly across Peacock Park, (i.e. Island No. 1) is to be cleaned of debris and upgraded. The eastern shore, Biscayne Day side, is to have Lite beach restored.

Islands 2 and 5 are to be cleaned and restored to a natural preserve setting. 2.J NEW BOAT MOORING AREA As explained in the analysis section, there are zl'•`o'°�?j a large number of derelict boats which moor ille- ifutua�i;:' t4�; � `'i gally on the bayside of the Spoil Islands. These boats are often some of the worst offenders in terms fix of polluting the water of BiscayneYDay. In addition, _ most of the derelict boats are in a deteriorated physical condition and thus tarnish the overall image of Dinner Key from the waterside.

Approximately 150 boats could be comfortably fitted into this space. The creation of these new moorings will alleviate the existing problems with derelict boats, and provide the city with a much needed tem- porary mooring facility. There would be a minimal fee associated with these new moorings. The City of Miami Marinas Department would be responsible for management of this new mooring area. 4 as DAYS11ORf PFIOMFOtAF►f } SECTION 3: SITE ANALYSIS 3.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Up to the early 1900s Dinner Key was a placid island covered with mangroves above which palm trees t()wered. A narrow marl prairie, about 100 yards le,ny, separated the island from the mainland. The old rock road from Coconut Grove followed the edge of the highland onto Miami. This road was later to be.couee Bayshore Drive. i,o the first settlers Dinner Key was a favorite spot for family picnickers. In the early days there was plenty of dry buttonwood to build fires. ©oats on their way to the lower Homestead region found this i!�lar,d a convenient stopping place for their midday local, thus giving the area it's present name. Y'he coming of World War I altered this beautiful seating. The U.S. Navy selected Dinner Key as the siLx- fur i naval air station. Development and the subsequent. changes to Lite natural environment had ar- rived: trees were removed, the island enlarged and bulkheade:d, and bay boLtom was dredged to fill the marl prairie which separated the island from the mainland. Finally, hangars and barracks were built to house aircrafts and the men who populated the base. 9'he shoreline, had suffered its first dramatic man- made change. The war, however, did not last- long. At the end of the war in 1910 the base was closed. Some eight years later the hurricane of 1926 was to finally de- molish what had been left of the base. Hurricane winds and a giant wave surge had cleared the way for new development at Dinner Key. PAN AMEftICAN SEA PLANE TERMINAL , TODAY MIAMI CITY HALL In 1930 the newly formed Pan American Airways System selected Dinner Key as the base for its Inter - American Operations. The lack of adequate landing fa- cilities for planes in Latin America forced Pan American to employ flying boats and amphibious air - crafts for its operations. The first hangar was e- rected in 1931 and a houseboat was used as its first passenger terminal. As passenger traffic grew Pan American undertook major improvements at Dinner Key. Starting in 1931 a deeper channel one mile long and 700 feet wide was dredged. Additional land was filled and hangars erected. In 1933 construction be- gan on the new terminal building. It was a modern facility. Inside passengers en- tered the terminal, bought tickets in the high ceiling room and walked through a door to the ship that was parked on the water or on ramps outside the building. 36 t ;. s711 k.

PAN AMERICAN SEA PLANE TERMINAL, TODAY MIAMI CITY HALL op 0 In 1946 after a heated controversy the City of Miami acquired Dinner Key from Pan Am for the sum of $1,100,000. A City Council Resolution of April 2, 1946, finalized the purchase and named Clipper Circle in front of thc: new City hall and Pan American Drive between the Circle and Dayshore Drive. 'Pile terminal building was first- converted into a restaurant and marina office. A linear boat dock, with five piers, was added to the former site of the old sea plane hurt. In 1954 after the failing of the restaurant, the terminal building was converted to Miami City Hall. 3.2 CONTEXT AREA Dinner Key is one of the most important water- front recreation access points in the City of Miami. Situated between the famed Vizcaya Palace to the north, the Barnacle and Coconut Grove to the south, Dinner Key forms an important part of the waterfront access.system to Biscayne Bay. Centrally located, it is accessible from most urban residential areas in South Florida. The various public and private marinas in the area offer unrestricted bridge free•access to the open waters of Biscayne Bay. It is this condition that makes Dinner Key an ideal docking point for sailboats and large crafts. A number of clearly defined functional areas surround the study site. Dinner Key is within walk- ing distance of the Coconut Grove Village Center which represents the economic hub of the area. In general, commercial activities near the study site are service related (i.e. retail stores, offices, etc.) Most persons residing in the vicinity are in- volved in service related jobs. South Bayshore Drive which parallels the coast line, forms the study site's westernmost boundary. This beautifully land- scaped scenic road is rapidly becoming the choice location for major luxury hotels and executive of- ; V ae fice buildings in Lite area. This large scale devel- opment. is giving the Dayshore corridor a distinct image as a truly cosmopolitan setting for living, working and entertainment. This new development can be divided into two areas, south and north of S.W. 27 Avenue. The development along Dayshore Drive, south of S.W..27 Avenue, represents the earlier high rise de- velopment of the area. It begins with the Coconut Grove Bank at S.W. 27 Avenue and continues south with a number of luxury condominiums. it ends at Lite corner of McFarlane Road where the Hotel Mutiny and Club abuts Lite public library. Following on McFarlane Road, older developtnettLs form it transition to the Village Center shopping area. A parking sLrucL•uro, a vacant- church and two restaurants are in Lite area. Northwest of this section of Dayshore Drive is the well known Mayfair Shopping Center. With the expansion of this facility, pedestrian traf- f lc from Lite Village Center will be drawn closer to the Dinner Key area. Cast of S.W. 27 Avenue up to Aviation Avenue, on the north side of Dayshore Drive, a number of new hotels anti office buildings are being built. This area is emerging as a superblock of hotels, offices and condominiums. Just northward of Aviation Avenue, along Dayshore Drive, residettl:ial development of a lower scale begins. There are numerous estates and low rise multifamily units in au estate setting. North of Dayshore Drive, onwards from Tigertail Av- enue, exists all low rise single family residential development. To the northeast boundary of the study site, after David T. Kennedy hark and Rockerman Inlet, there is a small development of single family de- tached residences facing the inlet. Further north Lite new private b 'ilermitage complex of luxury towu- houses begins. 1 i a The 1.11tm"diate residential are. -Is alnttt irty the study site are characterized by it re lat..ively afflu- ent E►c►E,ulaLictn.

This major arterial, which becomes a four lane wide boulevard 12 in each direction) as it passes the Dinner Key area from Aviation Avenue to McFarlane Road, collects traffic going to and coming from the Coconut Grove section. Bayshore Drive also serves as a major north -south thorough- fare connecting Old Cutler Road with Brickell Ave- nue and Downtown Miami. From Dinner Key the main access way to the north is S.W. 27th Avenue with S.W. 22nd Avenue providing a less traveled alternate route. Direct vehicular access to the study site oc- curs at a number of locations. There is no inter- nal street system connecting all activities within the Dinner Key area. The first access point is McFarlane Road which reaches to the water's edge along Peacock Park and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club.

There are no residences within the study site except for persons living aboard yachts at. the existing marinas. 3.4 EXISTING LAND USES 'Pile study area, spanning 117.20 acres at bayside in CUCUIIUL Grove, is anchored at its northeastern and southeastern ends by two parks (Kennedy and Peacock) providing ti►e large majority of public recreation facilities for Coconut Grove and Dinner Key. A smaller park, Kenneth Meyers Park, has had its recreational function subjected to traffic associ- ated with launching and dockage of boats. To be exact, 40.89 acres, or 34.8% of the study area is public park land, for the most part devoted to such as adequate sanitation and parking facilities, need to be strengthened if these open spaces are to effectively serve as public spaces. Marina'and related uses are widespread and are both privately and publicly sponsored. Private facilities include the Coral Reef and Biscayne 0 6 Yacht Clubs at the north end and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club in the south. Together, these facilities provide moorings for some 230 vessels, wet slips numbering 159 and land storage for 128 boats. They occupy 6.88 acres. At waterside, Dinner Key Marina and the facility behind the Parks Department/gymnasium, provide public launching and docking services. Specifically, Dinner Key Marina presently offers 325 wet slips with an additional 225 units proposed for future construction, for a grand total of 550 wet slips. The boat launch ramp behind the gymnasium is used less than the Kenneth Meyers Park because of the design difficulties of the former facility. Commercially, two specific forms are evident. Commercial entertainment is provided by the Monty Trainers', the Chart [louse and Captain Dick Res- taurants.

The Grove 14.jrina, a "cio-it-yoursel t" shop, has a maximum car- ryin(l capacity of 350 boats. mtinicilxel facilities for public use and enjoyment incltitle: 111he CtwonuL Grove Exhibition Center and 1.),,lkiily facilities, occupying a large portion of the study area; a boxing gym, the structure behind the city of Miami barks and itecreation Department utf.ices; Dinner Key Marina, which also provides a cert,ain level of residential uses and the City Ball for genu►-al public access. In general, the study area offers little in the way of positive visual impact, or as a statement of cunw►t:ni t_y involvement and pride, although with its ni.iny fac:ilities, it is heavily utilized for public anti per i v.jte eutts . Development in the study area is uluelated, fragmunLud and haphazard maintenances is tiericienL in many areas of public property and, envi_owb-tatdl dusigri has not been a primary concern ill ti►e development and renovation of many facilities within the area. More importantly, the area is afflicted witle unrestrained parking on sites not desitinat_ed for such development. The spoil Islands, providing some 14.75 poten- 1.ially recreational acreage offshore in Biscayne hay, are presently biting informally used both as a picnic tired an a "graveyard" for abandoned boats. 9 I A w„ 0.

This extends fruw llarwin SLreeL to S.W. 27th Avenue. The third coin -sucll view is offered by two large condouliniull' and the hotel Mutiuy - an area extending from the nurt.hern corner of Dlary Street along Dayshore to fic1•'ar1aue lioad. 1'arl; views are unobstructed views of the bay fron within the park. Kennedy Park, comparatively speak- i,1g, is heavily wooded and views of the bay, though ,;ucnic, are lot entirely unimpeded. Meyer's Park o,.:cuhies a sulaller area near the wain boat -launching f.lciliLy and offers open views of the Marina and the bay. peacock Park, the furtheresL point westward in the study area, also has open views of the bay - at least looking south and east, l'o the northeast, the view is Mainly oue of Marina docking facilities near tl,e Exhibition Center and the City lull. 3.6 VISUAL FORM FACTORS visual form of Dinner Key is structured fly a series of ill,pUrLdilt elenlenLs. 1. At both ter►ninus of the study area, the „pelf spaces, David Kennedy Park aL the uorLi► end and Peacock Park at the south end, give the waterfront a public recreational clulracter. 0 2. Dayshore Drive forms a strong visual corridor which connects at a vehicular level, the ac- tivities at Dinner Key. 3. The yachts, sailboats, marinas and all the water oriented activities give the Dinner Key area a strong water oriented character. 4. Pan American Drive with City Hall as its fo- cal point forms a strong axis. 5. Monty Trainer's Restaurant acts as a land- mark and a gathering place. 6. The strong architectural forms of the "Hangars' type building contract markedly with the scale and materials of the sur- rounding buildings. 7. Finally, not to be overlooked is the image of the large parking areas surrounding the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center.

MYERS PARK DAVID T. KENNEDY PARK 3.8 ACTIVITY CENTERS Activity centers for purposes of this study are areas which are being used to a high degree by the general public. The most highly used areas by the general pub- lic are David Kennedy Park, Dinner Key Marina and Monty Trainers. These areas are used almost contin- uously on a daily basis. Kenneth Myers Park is used mostly as a circula- tion linkage. Peacock Park is used primarily on week nights and weekends. The areas of relatively low intensity of use by the general public are the private clubs and the boat service yards. 3.9 HISTORICAL AND SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS ueritage Conservation districts, (IIC) were created as indicated on the maps - "to safeguard the cit-y's historical, cultural, aesthetic... and arlicitectural heritage ... and promote the use of historical sites, historical districts... for the education, pleasure and welfare of the people of the City of Miami". (Article 16-Section 1600. City of Miami Comprehensive Zoning ordinance). Within the study area proper, there is only one area actively zoned IIC-1. This designates the bayfront area occupied by the City Ball and approached from Dayshore Drive by the historic Pan American Drive. This site was once the home of Pan American Airways System Inter -American Operations. other sites worthy of note are within the context area: the library at the corner of McFar- lane and EDayshore is zoned IIC-11 the Merrill 61 �a 121 is 2 LEGEND no NIsTOn1CAL OUILDINas (Nn) ;:;:± slliNIFICANT Dl11LD111as AND AnEAs a - , ,I nAr N11 1 n I� r, N .,,' 1.

The most evident type, in particular its use in larger structures, is the steel/prefabricated mix. The use is almost solely confined to older, publicly owned structures, as the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center, the Grove Key Marina and Merrill Stevens. As two of the largest structures within the study area, these latter buildings are at once noticeable for their general state of disrepair, poor design standards, and lack of adequate land- scaping. They contribute little to the study area visually. A fourth structure, located adjacent to Monty Trainer's Restaurant, appears both dilapidated and abandoned.

BUILDING 61 00,1 62 3.15 SITE & BUILDING ENTRIES Lntry points within the study area are of four distinct types. Pedestrians have limited access within and around the Dinner Key Site. Along Dayshore from Peacock Park to Kennedy Park, walkways are not continuous, due to the existence of privately leased tracts amidst publicly owned lands. On the site itself, pedestrian points of access are not visibly designated by any type of signage nor helped by established walkways. The tendency is merely to follow established vehicular access routes. Along the Marina edge, access is again broken -because of private tracts and inadequate provision of walkways - where land does exist. The general impression is that pedestrian access as it exists has been an afterthought. Service and vehicle entrances are numerous but are not delineated by any type of signage. There- fore, these routes overlap and cause serious circu- lation problems on days when traffic peaks at the following points: the corner or Dayshore Drive and McFarlane Road as an entrance to the Sailing Club and the Park at Dayshore Drive amd Grapeland Boule- vard at its entry to the Exhibition Center and the bout loading areal the vehicular routes found a- round the City Hall buildings Pan American Drive at Bayshorel the entrances to Monty Trainer's parking lot and the boat loading area, and both entrances to Kennedy Park. Boats are the best services by existing facili- ties although more facilities can always be utilized. The two loading docks - at Kenneth Meyer's Park and at the Parks Department are well -used, although on peak traffic days, boaters experience the same access problems as other users of the site. For marina service related activities, access to Mer- rill Stevens and Grove Marina are adequate. c. �_i_..+1�t.17..�.:. +2•i ,.ta i..it'a....-�a.•�Y•.c.i.,n.....•t-..i�►w.ii Y '�R.i!':•+k'!I4.:�i+�.+fiw�`i••.'!!:`_ :inc_.. 1 1J .. _ .

There is a concentration of lighting in the area surrounding the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center and where McCarlane Road meets the bay. Other areas in general lack appropriate l.ighLing while the exist- ing lighting system is not all of the same type or quality. Graphic signage in terms of dirocttons, regula- tory and general information lacks design quality, locational rational continuity. Existing street furniture is randomly placed and does not help in creating a sense of place or a continuity of image. At the parks, picnic tables and benches are erratically placed, while the bus - stop areas lack covered shelter. The location of existing garbage collection dumpsters is not very aesthetically pleasing. In all cases these are placed with no screening, in rights of ways or directly on Lhe parks without any provision for the sanitary treatment of the ground area (i.e. concrete pads). 3.19 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Subjects Existing Conditions A comprehensive review of the project site has reviled a number of overall problems. Generally there has been a lack of maintenance which his resulted In an accumulaLion of trash, decaying seawall and a decline in Lhe overall appearance of the area.

The resulting data was tabulated (� to present an overview of the existing parking space dc:mamls and requirements. 3.20 A PARKING CHARACTERISTICS I►► evaluating existing parking operations and plannlny for future needs, it is necessary to det- cr►nii►e habits and characteristics of drivers. These characteristics within the study area were determined from measured observations and personal interviews with patrons cognizant of the parking problems in the area. Many factors motivate the driver's selection of d packing space_ These include the availability i of a space near his primary destination, purpose of r trip, Lime of day, Lraff.ic regulations in the vic- inity of parkin-1 facilities, walking distance to his destination, parking fees, and traffic access. 3.20 H `MAIN DINNER KEY SITE' PARKING For the purpose of this study, the "Main Ujnner Key Site" is defined as the area including the Exhibition Hall, Dinner Key Landing, Dinner Key Marina and the Miami City Hall.

Since major fluctuations in parking demand are directly influenced by activities at the Exhi- 111tion [tall, a detailed analysis was conducted taking into account three possible scenarios: Scenario I (highest parking demand); This condi- t on assumes the parking need during one of the four major yearly events at the Exhibition Hall (i.e. Home Show) with concurrent maximum usage of marina related and City Hall facilities. Fig- ure T-2 shows the supply, demand and resulting deficiencies using Scenario I conditions. Scenario II (medium parking demand); This condi- tion reflects the needs during an average size event at the Exhibition Hall and average usage of marina and City Hall facilities. Figure T-3 illustrates the resulting Scenario II conditions. Scenario III (low parking demand)! Assumes a non- event clay at the Exhibition Hall as well as low usage of marina and City Hall facilities. (See Figure T-4). it should be noted that since Scenario I conditions hardly ever occur (there are only 16 yearly event -days of this type), it would be very costly and highly impractical to base a parking need study on such an unusual occurrence. Even though Scenario III conditions are rather common (there are 180 yearly non-event days at the Exhibit Hall), we feel that they still do not represent the true parking need for this area. On the other hand, Scenario II conditions give a better indication of the real existing parking needs and are more representative of the actual parking demand.

Figure T-6 shows exist- ing traffic volumes along these major facilities. The voluulcs along South Dayshore Drive are rather high partly as a conse(luence of the inability of tsnut.h Nixie Uigikway to carry its share of regional tralfic. Most of the traffic now using this faci- lity during the nloruing and afternoon peak hours 1leither originates nor is destined to Dinner Key for even Coconut Grove) but rather to and from loca- tions to the north and south of the study area. T1lelefore, widening of South Dayshore Drive to a four lake section from Aviation Avenue to the norLiken, project- limits would, at best, result in a very liluited ill1prOve111e1lt. in Like traffic flow along the 1,roject corridor. Even though the traffic along S.W. 27th Ave- nue is also high, there are definite plans to widen a this facility from S. Dayshore Drive to U.S. I. �s Care should be given to urban design considerations N such as appropriate landscaping, lighting and street furniture, given the importance of S.W. 27th Avenue not only as a major link between the Coconut Grove Rapid Transit station and Dinner Key; but also as a gateway into Coconut Grove. The existing traffic volumes along this section of.S.W. 27th Avenue are rather constant throughout the day and do not exhibit very pronounced peaking character- istics.

'1'Ijere have also been si gili ficant shifts in the disti-iLution of household income since 1979. As indicated in '!'able 7, the number of households call1iny less t.hdn $10,000 has dropped 39.2 percent, R while the number of households earning over $50,000 more than doubled, rising from 37,100 households in 1900, to 93,100 in 1983. Likewise, the number of households earning between $35,000 and $.49,999 nearly doubled, increasing by 91.6 percent. While almost one-third of the households earned less than $10,000 in 1979, only 18 percent earned less than $10,000 in 1983. The percentage of households earning between $35,000 and $49,999 grew from 8 percent to 14 percent, while the percentage earning over $50,000 doubled, from 6.1 percent in 1980 to 14 percent in 1983. It is important to note, however, that although household incomes have been shifting upwards, there has been minimal real income growth. Rather, much of the income increase, particularly for the lower incoute groups, can be attributed to inflationary factors. A. 3 EMPLOYMENT TRENDS AND PROJECTIONS In early 1982, Dade County's labor force totalled 823,400, the largest over the past decade. Of these, 752,900 were employed, reflecting an unemployment rate of 8.6 percent. Though the total civilian labor force has grown by 6.3 percent since 1980, the employed population has increased by only 2 percent, while the unemployed population has grown by 53 percent. Since 1970, unemployment was lowest in and 1973, with 4.1 percent for both years. Unemployment peaked at 12.6 percent in 1975 fell steadily to 5.9 percent in 1979-1980, which it started to climb again. Ul 1970 and after 91 r'1�i�'.nn. 4IK,�Aue`:.7 This increase in unemployment can be partly attributed to substantial population changes during that time. Specifically, more than 100,000 Cuban and Haitian refugees migrated to the County during that time period alone. Table 8 reflects employment trends over the past decade. The graph following Table 0 illustrates the fluctuating unemployment rate during the same period. Table 8. CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE EMPLOYMENT AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS.

By 2000, total non-ahri(701.ural employment will reach approximately 1,206,010 robs. A. 6 POPULATION AND INCOME PROJECTIO14S It is estimated that Dade C(nn)ty popttlat ir►rt will be nearly 1.9 million by 19115. This repre- sents a 17.2 percent increase from 1.6 initlion ill 19110. From then on, popu lat i()n i ncreast-s slew to 10.6 percent betwt•ell 19115 anti 1990" 7.9 percent between 1990 and 1995, and finally, 5.6 percent between 1995 and 2000. Throuqhout Lire pro jest ioti period, population is expected to increase by 22.9 percent. As average household size begins to level off at approximately 2.5 by 1995, the percenta('le increase in the number of httttsvilolds will he lr'rts than in past years. Ifetween 19115 and 1990, The large increases in L-lte number of persons employed in Lite services, as well as in a wholesale arid retail trade, reflect Lite nation-wide trend toward a service -oriented economy. Such an economy is generally characterized by employment gains following growth in the population rather than the population moving to new jobs markets, as in manufacturing -oriented economy. In recent years, Lite ratio of total population to total non-agricultural employment (population - to -employment ratio) has decreased gradually as new jabs were added at a faster rate than population. The population decreased as a proportion of the number of jobs from 2.4 in 1970 and 2.2 in 1900, as shown in Table 10. During Lhe coming years, this ratio is expected to continue to decrease as new service businesses, retail outlets, industries, financial institutions, and professional firms are established to serve the growing population and as he share of non -workers in the population iminishes. 94 iy 101 ..� ... .. 4 "�� �a '. � •�! .� :�� .:5.;. r. �jr �::. _��k�+: l4le,d.

A. Q ANALYSIS OF RETAIL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL The Dinner Key Trade Area is a sub -set of the Dade County metropolitan market. This analysis is a preliminary analysis which has been undertaken to estimate the longer range retail potential for the area. In conducting the analysis, our focus has been on the support possible from consumer expenditure potential but has not included equally important elements such as land availability for development, parking, the capacity of local transportation net- works to support such development and a host of other factors. Because these factors have not been considered at this time our findings should not be interpreted as recommending levels of retail development. 95 0 go TItADC AREA DEFINITION of this preliminary analysis a For purposes eneral trade general trade area was yned.area w1hichgwas within a area consisted of a p 10 minute driving time to tile requiredKey cirivingand a secondary trade area which time of between 10 to 15 minutes.

CENTRAL DADE RETAILING The principal retail components in Central Dade County are quite diverse in character and are as follows: 1) the Miami Beach shopping area= 2) Downtown Miamif 3) uptown Miami= and 4) Miami International Mall.. Tl�e Miami Beach area is actually amini-sized retail node and is riot pertinent to this analysis and is therefore elitt►inated from further discussion. Downtown Miami. This central business district (CDD) for the metropolitan area has undergone an almost complete change in its shopper orientation over the past 20 years or so which has been exceptionally beneficial. Today, it is a pre- dominately arinority shopping area with a very substantial Latin patronage. Durdines represents Lire only large unit in this very active CDD which has a predominately mass market orientation with respect to its merchandise offerings. • '� ,�• ioi ..,.,,. �i�a. a"�.•. il�{�hiil�ld�llil �l� II IdII�dVI�VVViII�IIIIIIiIMf�iIiIYI��IV�IIrI�Io��Iliilil�IlViil��i�liViVYV9� �I� 6 .. ,��y , a.� ° Id���ucol u � ,� • ;;_j., F.t $ .* .; � .r, ,,,,- . � ::r: � ;,....r . �, � �����I�I�ril��l�I������r�IWu��Yl���lilll�i�llil��i�lliiu9l���il��i�l�i���uiu�illi 6 Omni Area.

This shopping district contains about 160 shops, restaurants and other retail establish- ments. For the purpose of this report the highly successful Sears store on the east side of SW 37th Avenue has been added to the retail alignment of the Miracle Mile which, along an active shopping area, has relatively few fashion shops. The Miracle Mile stores receive a good share of their business from tourists, business visitors and seasonal residents. Dadeland is presently the largest volume center i—`n Metropolitan Miami thanks, in part, to the Burdines unit that is reportedly the top volume department store in the southeastern region of the nation. This store initially opened in 1962 and was subsequently expanded. In 1966 Jordan Marsh entered the center and in 1971 Penney's opened their store. Studies show that tourists account for a significant share of Dadelands business. Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor are planning to open Dadeland units in 1984. The center at the present time has few fashion stores in its tenant lineup; however, a share of the 25,000 square feet of the expansion area designated for the mall is anticipated to house specialty stores and shops emphasizing fashion merchandise. Basically Dadeland is a mass -market center and despite the future presence of Saks and Lord Taylor the center is expected to retain its mass -market orientation. 4r 49 103 Mayfair in Coconut Grove came on stream in 1979 as South Dadels first retail development devoted exclusively to fashion merchandising. Beautifully designed, Lids three-story shopping facility encompasses open courtyards and contains about 55 shops, boutiques and restaurants occupying approximately 96,4000 square feet. As befitting Its role as an elegant shopping experience, many of Lite shop$ in this very high end center featuring European and American designer goods. Studies Indicate that 50 percent of the business at Mayfair originate from tourists, mostly from South America. Mayfair is currently being expanded with a Burdines store of 74,150 square feet, about 66,000 square feet of additional shops and restaurants and a class A hotel with 182 rooms. Due to its off -center location Mayfair to date has had problems in effectively penetrating the market. The Falls, a specialty store center, opened in 1980 at tile Intersection of U.S. 1 and SW 136tt Street in an imaginatively landscaped environment. Approximately 67 shops, restaurants and other busi- ness establishments are currently sited around the Falls' man-made lagoon and waterfall. Although not as ultra fashionable with respect to its merchan- cise presentation as Mayfair, The Falls neverthe- less contains a limited number of shops selling high-fashlon goods. Tire specialty center format of Lite Falls will soon be up -graded to regional center proportion when Bloomingdale's first Florida store (225,000 square feet) opens in 1904 along with 40,000 square feet of additional small store space.

A. 0 TRADE AREA SUPPORTABLE SPACE teased upon our analysis of houseliold formation, income_ trends and potential c-lpture rakes we have assessed the amount of srynare ftfolatle for shopping goods and eating and drinking which could be developed in the Dinner Key trade aria. Because of the Nigh cost of construction anti probably high land cost, sales per square foot estimates used to support supportable floor area demand are somewhat higher than for other retail developments. -�,�. a >t K a} {; S ik I ii� t ! kl �1 . d � �,+ g �+ s r � '.

Ill. u,Alll.111111i1100101111ll 1h MARINAS AND BOAT SERVICE FACILITIES ANALYSIS A preliminary analysis of the market potential for additional marinas in the Dinner Key area revealed the following information and conclusions. There are three locations for marinas in the Miami area which were surveyed in order to deter- mine slip demand. The Miami harbor area contains four public marinas: the city -owned Miamarina with its 200 slips, the Watson Island facility which has 45 slips, the Plaza Venetia Marina which contains 193 slips, and the Miami Yacht Club which is a privately -owned marina. The Dinner Key area contains several marinas including the Dinner Key Marina which contains 374 slips, the Coconut Grove Sailing Club consisting of 264 rnoprings and Monty Trainer's Marina which has 50 slips. This area is also serviced by two storage and service facilities, Merrill -Stevens which contains 52 slips, in addition to its dry cluck repair and storage business, and the Grove Key Marina which is primarily a storage and repair f.icili.ty which contains only six slips used for transient boats. Two additional marinas, the Biscayne Bay and Coral Reef Yacht Clubs are privately -owned and maintained. . Two additional marinas located on Key Biscayne to the southeast of the Dinner. Key area, must also be considered in Lite inventory of Miami area marinas. Marina Biscayne contains 165 slips and the Crandon Park Marina, a county -operated facility, contains 222 slips. The Key Biscayne Yacht Club is a private club also located in this area. AVAI1.AD 11.ITY AND DENAtln ['Olt St.I PS Of the 446 available slips at the three marinas in the Miami Harbor -- Miamarina, Plaza Venetia, and Watson island -- 304, or 60 pe.rcent,. were occupied as of late December 1903. This: relatively low occupancy level is primarily due U) the individual nature_ of each of these facilities. The Miamarina is primarily a transient marina whose occupancy varies with Lite season, Lite Watson Islaltd facility suffers from poor reputation and facilities, and the Plaza Venetia is a new marina which is relatively unknown. tdcme of the dockmasters surveyed expressed additional dc-mand for slips at their respective marinas. The Dinner Key area marinas contain 746 slips at Lite five facilities which have public access. With Lite exception of Monty Trainer's which had less than five slips available, all of Lite avail- able slips were occupied. In addition to this existing demand for slips, waiting lists at the individual marinas indicated that there were 57 owners desiring slips at Lite Dinner Key Marina, 1011 boat owners neediny moorings at the. Coconut Grove Sailing Club and a definite, yet indeternlittant demand for slips at Lite t•1errI1l-Stevens facility. The 165 boats on these waiting lists represent 27 percent of the existing slips in the Dinner Key area. The two public: marinas on Key 1iscayne contair a total of 307 slips and currently have on 04 percent occupancy with 325 boats. 'There is no additional demand at the Marina 111 scayne ancC a 1- thotic111 no official records are maintaned at the Crarlclon Park Marinal however, there 1 s excess demauld for 30- and 50-foot slips. 4 1'h.je are currently 1,579 slips available in he tlia,ui 11albur, Diuuer Key, and Key Biscayne u,al•ina:i and 1,373 (87 percent) are currently occul,ied, The decsirahility of the Dinner Key area is evident troll, iLs high occupancy level and ,toc:uu„�ntccl waiting lists. The proposed expansion t the tli,aner Key facility from its current 374 .lip:; to 550 slips over the: next three years should :.ati:;ly the existing demand for slips as well as a '• l,eriiuu ut antic Apated future demand. There will 1,u, hnwuver, demand for additional sailboat luuerings which has not. been addressed by the !,l ul,used expansion of Dinner Key. Given the I„caLion of this marina relaLive to the Miami Ildlhur and Key Biscayne facilities, the Dinner Key Marina ►epresents the: most logical location for future expansion plans due to its location in hliawi, accuss to waterways, and quality of the au,unities offered to ship owners. liml' SEUVIC11 c; FAC1LITILS Although must of the marinas offer some type ut repair and fueling eyuipu,ent, the two primary heat-survicing facilities along the Miami uceantrunt are located in the Dinner Key area. The Merrill -Stevens Dry Dock facility priluarily services boaLS in excess of 20 feet in IungtI,. Services include indoor and outdoor storage, teauloul facilities, mechanical and electrical repairs, hull repair and paintshop, and saps of both new and used boats. The Grove Key Marina provides a dry storage facility which serves boats luss than 20 feet in length and inCleldl_S outdoor racks or pods and indoor storage facilities. This yard also provides a small repair facility which can accoum►odate 12 boats. In both cases, the dockmasters indicated that there was a definite demand for repair facilities and an excess demand for storage space. Table 19.

The current leases define what the city intends for the near future. This is because in many Instances current lease commitments ext.end through the 1990s and the year 2000. information provided us indicates that the City is legally bound by approximately 10 leases to private concerns within the Dinner Key Study area, including sub -lease relationships through the master lease of Lite Grove Key Marina. The public lease arrangements impact future development options in that they both inhibit a conceptualiza- tion of new uses given the existing use framework, and because the legal structure of the leases are such that land assembly for any new development would be nearly impossible before the year 2000. CURRENT STATUS OF PUBLIC LEASES For purposes of this analysis we have divided Lite current leases into two categories. The two categories are leases whose commitments will expire on or before 1990 and leases which expire after 1990. These two categories have been developed because we believe that lease expirations after 1*990 will have a strong influence on the future development of Lite Dinner Key area. They will largely determine the extent- to which market opportunities which exist in the 1990s can be successfully responded to and Impact public policy decisions as they regard lease expirations during the 1980s. In short, to what: extent have the lea % commitments through the 1990s anal year 2000 locked in Lite development pattern for ginner Key. According to our Informaticin the foi lowinti table indicates Lite ieases which wilt expire following Lite year 1990. Table 20.

STI-NEW S DRYDOCK Thuru are essentially three issues that are ,aisud when reviuwiug the Merrill Steven's Drydock lease renewal. These issues apply more generally te, all of Like public: leases in the Dinner Keay area. '11- issue:; are the characLer and compatibility of This argument holds that there is an intrinsic economic relationship between boat yards and marina's based upon their geographic relationship to each other. The second argument is that the boat yard has been an essential part of the character of Dinner Key for many years, with its own intrinsic charm. With respect to land control, advocates argue that a lease renewal should be given with terms compatible with other lease renewals within the Dinner Key area. This implies a twenty or thirty year lease, and that the financial terms of the lease should be adjusted slightly to improve the return to the city. It is clear to us that the Merrill Steven's Drydock lease renewal issue will be difficult because it goes to the heart of the planning issue for Dinner Key. That is, which uses are in the greatest public interest given rather limited land resources. For our part, we believe that the current use has both strong and weak points. On the positive side, it does seem that the close geographic location of the boat repair and storage facilities to the marina's provide greater convenience for boat owners, however, we reject the v� '109 0 lie economic contention that the marina's would suffer substantially if the boat yard were not present. We also tend to agree with those who believe that the boat yard has its own charm as a part of the Dinner Key tradition (although there are clearly no economic benefits from this perspective). Finally, the lease income to the city generated from this lease is substantial given current.standards of evaluation. On the negative side is the fact that the current use as a boat yard is not necessarily the best economic use for the future, nor does the current use achieve a great deal of public benefit. The question of public interest, however, is not one which was intended to be determined by consultants. These are issues which must- be addressed by elected representatives of local government. t "''r f!I "� � I I r' it le II 'I I ��,,• , � pl�lrr� � � II II ?�h�� Ip�a ,�IIWiT 77rl�I . rya^ rnzl IFn.�"'IA�iRllprl�pf -I j, 11 I -I IIl I III Vn r.

The following items are site specific where a problem is known to exist and speaks to specific action that should be taken to correct the problem or enhance that par- ticular area. The commentary for the various areas are as follows: 1. Kennedy Park: a. Where the shoreline is In poor condition on the north and east boundries, there should be some o stabilization and revegitation. b. Trash should be removed from the shoreline and Mangrove areas. c. Where seawalls exist-, they should be renovated or replaced. This occurs at the south part of the park around the boat rental area. d. Proper planting and maintenance. precedures can upgrade the quality of the park omen spaces. e. Playground equipment for the children should be upgraded. f.

PEACOCK PARK A. aefore the lethal yellow blight caused the demise of the existing Coconut Palms, there was a large grove existing on the Peacock site. This "grove" should be re-established using the Maypan and Green Malayan palms. D. The overlook area and the shelters at the waters edge should have shade. Mahogany, Live Oak and Tropical Almond trees should be used.

Calophyllum trees could also be utilized. The parking surface should be screened with the use of berms and plant material. There are several types of plant material that would be suitable for screening. Silver Buttonwood, Dwarf Oleander and Myrtle are several types of plant material that could be utilized. BAYSHORE DRIVE The treatment along the edge of eayshore Drive promanade, has for purpose of definition been separated into three different configurations. A. Narrow linear sections of the promanader which are caused by the physical constraints of the street and adjacent off street parking or other existing inprovements such as walls or structures. The landscape treatment in these'sections tends to be more formal due to the physical constrants. The primary trees should be Live Oak. Smaller tree varieties such as Tabebuia, Ligustrum and Buttonwood could be used in seating areas to reduce the scale and lend definition to these areas. Where there is paving to the East of the defined area, it should be screened, either with berms or plant material. 0. Sections with open space, which occur to the East of Bayshore Drive look onto the water in several areas, or into a larger open space.

This is a trafficway of historical significiance as desbribed elsewhere in this report. It is lined with stately Royal Palma. The ambiance that this planting brings to the Dinner Key area has influnced the approach that has been taken with the balance of the project area. The Royal Palms should be replaced where necessary and the theme retained and carried forward to encompass the entire Pan American Drive area. As this street is adjacent to parking and marine facilities, a secondary, lower planting of trees should be established as well as the screen material to disguise the parking areas and provide separation from the trafficway. Mahogany or Calophyllum trees as well as Live Oaks could be utilized for the priivary screen material. The secondary or lower screen planting could be a selection from any of the following plants; Ligustrum, Buttonwood, Pittosporum, Cocoplum, Oleander or Wax Myrtle. B. The median planters should be repaired and the planting should be replaced. There are many plants which could be used in the planters to give color. These should be selected, based on the time of year that the planting is to be done, as the plants are seasonal. The grass that exists in the median should be replaced with a groundcover such as Raphiolepis or Pittosporum wheeleri. 0. u t ti71 123 rrt�'a.,.�e�^*orrr�I^"'+. °'" C. D. E. 124 informal and open. Other plant material such as, but not limited to, the (tong Kong Orchid, Royal Poinciana, Tamarine, Mahogany, Buttonwood, both green and silver, Sabal and other variety of palms should be utilized in a naturalistic manner. In the areas of Meyers and Kennedy Parks, it will create a pleasent transition from the streetscape into the park areas. Entrance Points, such as street intersections and parking area entrances shall have groupings of Royal Palms to call attention to and create emphasis to these areas. These plaza areas create a scale change at these points at both the pedestrian and vehicle level which will help call attention to the fact that it is an area which may have both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The waters edge adjacent to the Marina will have a wide walkway with Royal Palms intergrated into the paved areas. The entrance or drop off points should have medium sized trees such as Buttonwood or Ligustrum to reduce the scale of the area and to identify these entrance points. Some screen planting should be utilized between the pedestrian areas and the parking to hide the paved areas. The Convention Center parking lot should be refurbished by replanting all of the ground cover areas and supplimenting the tree planting in the parking area. Mahogany and Calophyllum trees should be the primary replacement plant material. A-.._" AP n n C r THE MERRIL STEVENS - GROVE MARINA PARKING AREA This space is currently being used as an unorganized parking area. Due to the projected requirements it is very likely that parking in some configuration will remain in this space. The parking could be in the form of surface parking, a Larking garage or both. What ever form of parking is decided, the area will require landscape treatment A. Canopy trees for shade would be Oaks and pongams. The parking surface and the cars should be screened with Cocoplum, Silver Buttonwood and Wax Myrtle from all surrounding facilities. There will be some odd shaped open spaces which will occur that would accomodate Royal Poinciana or Orchid trees which would be used for color. Tall palms such as Sabal, Washingtonia or Royal palms would he used to soften and reduce the scale of the parking structure. 2. '1,11e existing entrance and parking for the Chart (louse will only require landscape renovation. The fence separating the boat storage from the trafficway cn both sides of the entrance needs to be move_ back approximatly fifteen feet to allow for a planting area. This will allow for trees such as Mahoganys Calophyllum, and Wax Myrtles to be planted for canopy, as well as screening of the goat storage areas. Oleander, Silver Buttonwood and Cocoplum are some of the plant materials that can be used for screening of these areas. G A � txs '!

There are seating areas on the East edge of the park that offer splendid views of the bay. The open spaces within the park are not well organized, the shore line conditions are poor and there is not enough parking to accomodate the heavy use. It is intended to realign the path system as shown on the master plan. viewing and seating areas will be intergraded with the path system. A. The North and East edges of the park along the water should have the rubble and broken concrete removed. Some regrading at the waters edge should be done so that the ground slope to the water is very shallow. The landscape could be enhanced with the use of Seagrape, Buttonwood (both green and silver), Noronhia and possibly Mangroves. B. f C. •Phe steep edge at the East edge that is suffering erosion damage should be ripraped to prevent further loss of the bank. This is shown on the boardwalk plan prepared by the City of Miami Parks Department. The Mangrove areas in both the water channel in the center of the park and the waters edge West of the boat rental basin should be protected. The foot bridges suggested, are to control the pedestrian traffic which is presently crossing the subject area via some rocks which are presently in the water. t n Y �~I � LDS, 0 Id a `43 , y v , r�i k s 1� 127 D. E. The existing parking lot at the Northwest corner of the park will be enlarged and improved. It will be screened from the South Bayshore with plant material and will have trees for canopy and shade. Mahoganys, and Oaks should be used for this purpose. The parking surface and the cars would also be screened from the park users with hedge material ie. Cocoplum and Wax Myrtle. Thellandscape treatment should define the open spaces and reinforce the planting areas that are shown. Trees to be utilized should be the Live Oaks, Mahoganys, Buttonwood, Seagrape and Tropical Almonds. Royal Poincianas and Hong !Gong Orchid trees could be used in selected spots. Palms such as the Sabal, Mayan, Green Malayan, Royals and some species of the Date Palms would enhance the tropical ambiance of the area. F. The South parking lot is designed to take advantage of the existing Royal Palms. These plams would be protected and would become part of the total site design. Additional palms would be planted along with Oaks, Mahoganys, Calophyllum and Seagrape trees. Shelters and pedestrian areas would be included with the renovation of the seawalls at the North and East waters edge of this area. 126 t 0 f ISLANDS Tile offshore islands or "moles' can provide a valuable 'beach resource for the Dinner Key area. Cleanup is the prime requirement. The islands can be planted with Seagrape, Buttonwood, Deachberry (Scaevola) along with some Coconut Palms. A.

Existing parking problems at these locations will certainly worsen in the future due to both the uxpectud increase usage associated with future improvmuellLs of these facilities, as well as the additional demand generated by the accelerated high-rise development along So. Hayshore Dr. Table T-2 shows a comparison of existing and projected parking conditions for the project. It should be noted that the project has been sub- divided into four distinct parking "areas", re- flecting their different geographical locations within the project area. Parking Area 1 serves the southernulosL project area including Peacock 11.1rk and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. Parking Arua 2 is responsive to the parking needs of the "Plain Ui,lnur Key Site". Parking Area 3 serves Grave Key Marina, Merrill -Stevens, the proposed cultural facility, Monty Trainer's proposed spec- ialty center development, as well as serving for c,verflow parking needs for both the Exhibition center and the various high-rise developments [u-ross the street on So. Ilayshore Dr. Parking Area 4 serves the needs of David Kennedy Park. Figure T12-1 and Table. 11,11-3 show a summary of the proposed parking improvements. It should I,u elul,ll:,sized that a parking structure for Area 3 is ncuussary in order to satisfy the projected parking nl�eds while at the same time preserving the nue:ess.,l y ul,en space which is so vital for Dinner Key.

S.W. 27th Avenue Entrance to the Ex- it on Center: As shown on Figure TR2-it is recom- mended that this important entrance be completely reworked. The main features of this recommendation are the provis- ion of better highway geometries, the separation of inbound from outbound traf- fic by means of a traffic separator, and one-way traffic flow along the west per- imeter of the Exhibition Center in order to eliminate conflicts with Marina traffic. Appendix "A" contains an eval- uation matrix of the various improvement alternatives for this intersection. 2. Peripheral Vehicular Circulation Around Exhibition Center Inner Loop and Around Dinner Key Marina Outer Loop : As shown on Figure TR2 it is recom- mended that an inner loop vehicular cir- culation around the Exhibition Center be established; in order to accomplish this it will be necessary to remove the existing raised pedestrian walkway with- in the area of this new peripheral road. It is also recommended that the outer vehicular circulation loop along the Dinner Key Marina perimeter be retained. 132 s l ANONw ,�4Mr 'Nk _� � ���r—x I��� ��� ��:i F�,i� m.� � E I, �lJi illy � �,��$ '� �! �� �s��'ui �y7 t�3F'�`f=G�'�p�� s �, d �^ hi• f i.

It- is fut then recouuttunded that the pro- I,c,sc.4t access road and entrance/exit to the proposed harking structure north of Van American Drive be lined up with this proposed median opening mentioned above. 5. I.nLrauce_/L•'xit Road for Southern i�ai=kiiu� Lot at David Kennedy Park: As shown on Figure TI2it is recout- wuttdud that the entrance/exit to David I:(.ttttecly Park be reworked in order to allots butter ingress/egress, while sint- ulLantuously providing additional park - illy aL this location. 1. lttt.crsect_iott ltni�rovements at Pan Aillerican Dr., S.W. 27th Ave. and Aviitlicin Ave.: As shown on Figure TR2 it Is recom- weudud that Lite intersection of Pan American Dr. and llayshore Dr. be sig- nalized it► the future: once the ant-ici- Pdted develoliftlent growth in this area Lakes place. This will substantially relieve the future overloading of the 27th Ave. and So. tlayshore Dr. inter- section, especially during high -atten- dance events at the Exhibition Center. 2. It is also reconuttended that the two phase signal at S.W. 27th Ave. and Day - shore Dr. be upgraded to a multi -phase signal operation in order to provide bet- ter intersection operation. 3. Furthermore, it is recommended that provision of a new signal at Aviation and and South Ba shore be studied In connec- tionh-the proposed developments in this area. 133 SECTION 7: IMPLEMENTATION A. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION it is recommended that: a Dinner Key Coordina- tion Committee (DKCC) be created to provide for an effective systems management approach to public policy administration within Cite area of Dinner Key. The DKCC would consist of no more than 15 mem- bers representing the following departments and a- gencies: Finance, Property Management, Planning, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Marinas, Police and Fire Rescue, Coconut Grove Exhibit stall and the off -Street Parking Authority. The DKCC would be chaired by the City Managers office. A DKCC deputy director named by the City Manager's office would serve as a liaison between the various departments and be responsible for project management activi- ties on a daily basis as well as ultimate imple- mentatinn responsibilities. The DKCC would meet at least once a month. It would be the responsibility of the DKCC to set up a management framework for strategies and operational procedures aimed at satisfying the public policies established by the City Commission in their adoption and amendments of Lite Dinner Key Master Plan; as well as any administrative direc- tives established by the City Manager's office. In addition, the DKCC would be responsible for reviewing any plans or proposals developed by the private or public sector for the modification or improvement of Dinner Key or portions thereof. The DKCC's role in this situation would be of an ad- visory nature to the City Manager. However, a permit for renovation work or new construction; permits for special events, concessions leases, It- cc!t s, eLc. , could not be i s surd without the writ- ten approval of t_ite DKCC, except t het l tile dec i s i r ort of the DKCC may be appealed directly to the City Commission Since a majority of the rttrrent Iviisr.n wi l i n(►t expire until after the year 2000, it will hrt diffi- cult to institute these recommendations -in it tthif.lui- tous fashion. llowever, It will he inrumbnnt. net thf! City of Miami and Lite herein proposed DKCC to itne every opportunity available as it resat t of a r r��ltte!;t initiated by it lessee, to negotiate the inclusir►n ref some or all of these recommenrlat.torts in tie form rif a lease amendment-. For example, slur irrg the t itst. nix months Lite Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the Cctctrnttt Grove Yacht: Club and Uayshore Prc►pert ices (Ftf)nt Y Trainer's Restaurant) have retlttt!stvd eith(!r special permits, 1 certses or least! motli f inset ions from t lic City of Miami. B. LEASE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIOf j i The Merrill Steven's Drydock lease rMICWal case suggest that as a matter of pithlic policy s:otnrr general principles need to he established an a framework for publ ir_ lease manarl'ment. Use wortld propose the following for cortsitierationt 1. As a general role, private parties: must he able to detmons:trate substantial public benefit from their private business activities, or must expect to provider financial renttmVration to the city r.n tItc, hasis of highest possible commercial tire for Lite pxopv! i y. J i �I i li III` �� III II III III 6� ai, 'l� i 4 2. A:; a geueidl rule, tl►e city should at.tcmpt_ to rutdin c:onLrol of propertizt; put s►tau►tt to waintaining future dervelolmicI►L options. This could be achieve through shorter term leases and/or buy-out/termination procedures included in the lease. 3. As a general rule, compensation to the city for uses of leased public land for (1t)IIune:rci a 1 purposes should be established cu► the basis of comparable cost assuming the agreement was private rather than public in nature. 4. Public access to the amenity of tie: bayfrouL is a part of tl►e trusteeship function of the city which should be considered and protected in any private lease arrangements. 5, Ef fe:cLive lease management can be best achieved within the context of a general flan for the area which minimizes the need to consider land use policy on a case by case: basis. The application of these principles begins to establish a general framework incorporating lease 111ar►ayc►uent into tale planning and development function. Thu following recommendations are intended to serve ay a guide Lo Ll►t D.K.C.C. in terns of negotia- tiu►► and ►oil►w(juwu►,L of land leases, concessions and 1 iCcJl6U!; AL 1)itu►u17 Key; a. The detexud uation of "financial considera- tion" duu to Lilo City should be based on an uyui t-Ablu cissessment of Lhe degree of pub- lis bu►►efiis to be derived from Lhe private business activities. The lesser the degree Of public benefits to be derived,,the higher the degree of financial returns to be ex- pected. b. Uniform compensation guidelines for minimum guaranteed base rents need to be estab- lished for different categories of business activities. c. A minimum 20 ft. wide waterfront easement should be a requirement for all waterfront property land leases, except for the Coco- nut Grove Sailing Club. d. All leases should include a Demolition Bond provision. This bond could be utilized by the City at their option to bring the prop- erty back to its original undeveloped condi- tion at the expiration or termination of a lease. e. A 2% lease payment override needs to be es- tablished for purposes of funding the Dinner Key Improvement Fund. This 2% over- ride would be in addition to the base ne- gotiated lease payments. f. A "buy-out" clause should be included in all leases. 135 11 130 C. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS LIST 1.

DINNER KEY IMPROVEMENT FUND It is reconuue:nded that d Dinner Key Improvement Fului bu Cleated to muet the critical needs of main- itill.al►cu, rul,aiL, ruplaceruetlt, sanitation and solid waste collection in Liu Dinner Key area. This Fund recognizes that the beautification and enhancement of the Dueller Key area will generate an increased de- m.alid in terms of operational outlays for maintenance dlld reliair. This is particularly critical in the harks and ope:,, space areas where: activities such as removal of weeds and trash; as well as proper irri- gation, pruning, fertilization and pest control ac- tivities are essential to the lung term environ- lu..nt;al quality of the area. The Dinner Key Improvement Fund would be spe- cifically earmarked for the Dinner Key project site exclusively. Furt.herwore, it would be limited for use in maintenance, repair and replacements ex- pt-di turus only. The fund would be administered by the DECC. Funds for Lhe Dinner Key Improvement Fund would be derived from a 2% override to be nego- tiated over alid above Lhe negotiated share of Lhe percentage of gross which the City will receive from each lessee. For example, if the average rental payments are based on a percentage of gross lanqJllg from 8 - 10%, then the City would continue: to receive the same amount but an additional pay- mul,l. uyuivalcnt to 2% 0l gross would be paid to the Dinner Key Improvement Fund. E. THE MERRILL STEVENS LEASE & OTHER LEASE HOLDS The development program for the Merrill Stevens and adjacent leasehold properties shall be as follows: A. MARINE FACILITIES a. Full service marinas for boats under and over 29 feet. b. 125 wet boat slips (108 currently are avail- able within this area) c. Dry storage for a maximum of 500 boats. d. Docking area for water taxi and short term docking. The north boundary of the Merrill Stevens leasehold should be relocated approximately 150 feet to the south and the land reclaimed for public use, either as open space providing public access to the waterfront or for the parking garage described in the alternate solution. In view of the critical relationship which exists between boat storage and boat maintenance, we strongly recommend that the City expands the wet boat storage capacity to replace in large part the storage lost in the relocation of the leasehold line and that the dry storage presbntly in existence be more efficiently used. Although it is recognized that the wet storage does not replace dry storage in a one-to-one relation- ship, it is our opinion that the existing dry storage capacity is sufficient to operate a full service marina. The decision on the parking structure should pre- cede any det urination on the relocation of the '-)und- a ry . 137 138 .'9, RF, :'t;: y +' rY�::�(i'F: * '���`� -4r d ' _ - `` ter•^. `S.'a?M` .y'f.e � `. :._• •�.�.,u.+..,u$rrxi.�'t.»`.,S %d. �—_..� ^-' :ai:•k.4�.<,y'.7.�n_�-..: `t+t.i. - "' �.aE.3 ,d„+ ,ii � YEN �;+.a .,i«a�: •.AY.sti....�-.c..�_s....... ve B.

The implementation of thes Concept could vary significdntly in terms of involvement, if any, by the lessees currently operating businesses at Dinner Kuy; the timing of the development; and the ultimate pllasinq of the various program facilities specified as a Dart of the development program. The following are lour basic examples as to how the implementation procedures could vary under these circumstances: It would be recommended that the City proceed with the preparation of an RFP limited only to the Merrill Stevens property (i.e. this lease expires in June, 1984). The City would then request bids from de- velopers interested in the management of a full service marina for boats 29 feet or larger. Other additional uses such as boat sales and brokerage; and a limited amount of marine specialty retail (i.e. 15,000 sq. ft.) as described in this section, could also form a part of the development program for this leasehold. Under this scenario the City would limit the expiration of the new lease for the Merrill Stevens leasehold, as well as any future lease within the Dinner Key Basin, to not extend beyond the year 2012, which is currently the expiration date of the Chart [louse Restaurant sublease with Grove Key Marina. Es- sentially, this scenario signifies that the City would have to wait until the year 2012 before being able to proceed with the implementation of a Unified Development Concept. In this scenario, the City would not enjoy the opportunity of consolidating all of the leasehold properties into a unified de- velopment package, until the year 2012. OPTION B Similar to the circumstances identified above, and if the City proceeds to seek expressions of interest in connection with the Merrill Stevens leasehold, there is a possibility that the two following scenarios men- tioned below could eventually occur: 139 ����� � �' 1 5 �-+,,�r�+,,, ±'s�t:.i� ;� E~r� t aTs � �tya �. F•�-� �.r�°'s t i �sr. euh r E4 � v � � t i 1. Grove Key Marina and Bayshore Properties could form an association and be the suc- cessful bidders for the Merrill Stevens leasehold. In this case after satisfying the bidding requirements for the services and amenities to be provided within the leasehold property or their other leaseholds at Dinner Key; they would also in fact have the opportunity of providing a more unified and coordinated approach to the development and management of the remaining leaseholds within the subject area. 2. It is also possible that Merrill Stevens could associate with both of the entities mentioned above and in the event that they were also the successful bidder, the possi- bility for a unified management team for the leasehold properties would be attained. Essentially there are numerous possibilities for either direct "buy -sell" agreements, equity participa- tion possibilities between the existing leaseholds and outside development entities that may be interested in a more unified development of the Dinner Key area. There are also many possibilities for different types of corporate or partnership associations between cur- rent lessees in the subject area, who if successful in bidding for the Merrill Stevens leasehold, could in fact develop a more unified plan. The latter would probably be achieved in an incremental fashion rather than with a single.phase large scale development; and with.possibly a larger reliance on the adaptive reuse and renovation of existing facilities. 140 In addition to the many Ie(]a1 and financial leos- sibilities which may he utilized, there are also an infinite number of possibilities for the actual de- velopment plans which may be developed under creative development - financing - management systems. For ex- ample, there is a possibility that a successful de- veloper could very well decide to char the entire parcel except for those buildings with archit.ecttir.- ally significant or historically significant f1tial- ities; and proceed to develop a project which is t(-)- tally unique and sensitive to the Grove. At the same time it is very possible that a successful. bifl- der could also decide to place a major emphasis in preserving the hangar buildings and structures which are presently at Dinner Key; and instead of going through a demolition process, concentrate in their; adaptive re -use and renovation. fly the same tokc-n, there could also be a successful bidder that would possibly consider a combination infill, demolition and new construction; and maybe some selected adaptive re -use. In other words, the opportunities for creativf, planning, design and land use management are numerent,. In fact, this is one of the benefits of this clevelop- ment process, since it provides an incentive riot untly for creative financing, management and marketi►tg, but also for land use planning. f 101,1' 1 R 11 ' � �s�� � � ��Ir r,.,�� � U I iiM y i � i t� '• 9 �{�� ad. ,"..

INSTITUTIONAL SPONSORS There are a number of recreational and cultural facilities which could in part be funded through in- stitutional sponsors interested in the direct or in- direct benefits associated with the particular fa- cility. For example, the renovation of the two ten- nis courts at Peacock Park, as well as the construc- tion of two additional tennis courts and a tennis pro shop type facility at the western end of the park could be an attractive element for one or more hotel entities in the area to sponsor not only in terms of initial capital outlays, but also maintenance and operation. other facilities such as the proposed aviation museum proposed for City Hall, as well as the adaptive re -use of the Virrick Gym building into a performing arts center could both serve as attrac- tive sponsorship facilities for major corporations within the community. G. JOINT DEVELOPMENT Given the seasonal use characteristics of such facilities as the Coconut Grove Exhibit Ball, the marine facilities and the proposed cultural and performing arts facilities for the Dinner Key basin area, all of which have a high peak demand during weekends, points to the opportunity for the joint shared parking agreements with properties on the west side of Bayshore Drive. In other words, under a joint sharing agreement the City of Miami and the tat :.vx'a +.:aN a t .� • k rf' �i�cri�.: y�gnR-„Fw± �r�p,+� air`'± a9�,I' �'IV aei «:tiYRln 1,. �i� �� / ' t# �." various tenants of leasehold properties could be al- lowed to use the parking facilities presently avail- able on the west side of Bayshore Drive in turn for a similar consideration during weekdays for those same uses on the west side. A joint sharing agree- ment is difficult to monitor and manage. However, it would allow the City to satisfy the peak demands which the Coconut Grove Exhibit Hall will likely generate at least 25 days out of the year, in which cases the amount of parking required for those event days would be impractical to provide on a year round basis at Dinner Key. H. USER FEES/GROUP RECREATION The City of Miami should give further consider- ation to the establishment of user fees for the use and rental of cultural and recreational facilities at Dinner Key on a "reserved basis." I. ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM The City of Miami should earmark a minimum per- centage (1 to 1.5%) of all of the construction volume undertaken by the City each fiscal year, dedicating these funds for the development of arts programs in public open spaces throughout the City of Miami. Dinner Key lends itself due to its amount of open space and proximity to the water, as an ideal set- ting for outdoor sculpture, water sculpture, water features, etc. J. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The City should consider the establishment of development impact fees for high growth areas where- by an assessment based on the amount of gross square feet of development would require an impact fee as- sessment (e.g. $10,000 for each 50,000 square feet of space). The impact fees would then be placed in 142 a special general fund for capital improvements in connection with parks and open space, shoreline enhancement and other environmentally sensitive capital projects.

RUSSELL-MELTON ASSOCIATES. ARCIIITECTS. PLANNERS. CONSULTANTS The Dinner Key Master Plan was defined as a "?taster Plan and Planning Study on land and water use for Lite City of Miami". The main goal of Lite proposed plan was to increase the recreational uses of the Dinner Key area both at landside and water- side. The plan proposed to arrive at this goal through wholesale demolition of most of the existing structures and the radical alteration of the exist- ing shoreline. The marina was to be enlarged to a capacity of 1,000 slips. The Spoil Islands bulkheaded on the marina side and connected to Lite mainland by means of bridges thereby increasing Lite dock access area and Lite amount of shoreline available to the public. On the land side the removal of the existing Dinner Key Convention Center would create a large open park (Center Park) which would provide a sin- gle open spacb system from Peacock Park to Miami City Hall. Pan American Drive was to be removed with two parking structures placed directly iii front of Miami City Hall. The present perspect.1ve to Miami City flail would have been blocked. Although Lite City llall building would have been retained for public use un- der this plan, most other remaining uses within the study area, except Lite yacht club, were to be altered by demoli Lion andtor. relocation?

GREENLEAF AND TELESCA.1983 A plan for the improvement of Dinner Key both at Landside and waterside. On the waterside it proposes the removal of the existing docks with 325 spaces and its replacement with a new configuration of piers having a total of 550 moorings. New pier construction is to be of concrete and the slips will have all the necessary conveniences such as running water, electricity and sewage connections. On the landside a number of definite actions were proposed. In general the recommendations are: The construction of a principal landside a- menity - a waterfront promenade suited for several types of activities. - Landscaping and signage designed to enhance the area. 145 140 - Traffic circulation and harking improvement with drop off zones included for each pier. Specific improvement proposals are as follows: At the Dinner Key launching site (existing trailer boat launching area near Iiaysltore Drive and the extension of S.W. 27 Avenue): A dockmasLer house Launching ramp Seawall renovation Dinghy dock Auxillary trailer boat parking 2701 Avenue marina access i.andscaping AL Dinner Key Marina: - Project entrance Supplemental signage - Dayshore Drive landscape buffer - Waterfront promenade - Pier drop off zones - DockmasLcr zone - Miami City hall landscape and promenade feature Area - immediately south of City (tall is "Ile area to contain a flew vacuum sanitary statio.n.
