INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO. DATE Fil E:
Honorable Mayor and June 27, 1984
Members of the City
SUBJECT:
Commission Miami Center I &
II/Bifurcated Ramp
System
FROM. Howard V. Gary REFERENCES
City Manager
ENCLOSURES.
Attached hereto are copies of memoranda from the Department of
Planning, Public storks and Fire, Rescue and Inspection Services
which detail outstanding items relevant to the Miami Center
developments.
The following are the three central issues regarding the
bifurcated ramp system. As you are aware, the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) has advised that it has reached the 30%
design stage for this project and now is in need of the right-of-
way. It is necessary that these issues be addressed and resolved
before September of this year if construction of the new ramp
system may proceed on a timely basis and while construction funds
are in hand.
ISSUE NO. 1:
Amount of right-of-way required by Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) is greater than what was shown in the
Development Order.
RESPONSE:
Plans shown in the application for development approval were
conceptual and in schematic form only; the plans were not
detailed working drawings. Also, these plans differ from Figure
3, Page 10 of Resolution No. 81-840 which was passed on September
24, 1981 issuing the initial Development Order for Miami Center
II, and is the plan that was recommended by the Dupont Plaza Task
Force on 9/2/81 and adoptd by the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (Resolution 1-81).
The construction plans being developed by the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) are in accord with the schematic plan as
shown in the Development Order.
It is important to note that the Development Order stated that
the dedication needed to build the bifurcated system would be
what was required based on Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) and Federal design standards, criteria, and guidelines.

ISSUE NO. 2:
Height of ramp at Southeast Third Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard
Way/Closure of Southeast Third Avenue.
RESPONSE:
In reviewing the schematic highway system plan contained in
Resolution No. 81-,840, it appears that when the east bound ramps
crossed Southeast Third Avenue, they were above grade, not
returning to grade until mid -way the block between Third Avenue
and Biscayne Boulevard. Though Third Avenue is not shown as
closed in the schematic, its only function would have been to
carry northbound traffic off the eastbound ramp; there would not
have been any access from Biscayne Boulevard Way directly onto
Third Avenue.
ISSUE NO. 3:
Dupont Plaza Hotel ingress/egress.
RESPONSE:
The construction plan, as developed by the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT), does not allow for direct access from
Dupont Plaza Hotel to Southeast Third Avenue, nor does it allow
direct access to the Hotel from the expressway ramp. This is in
accord with the schematic plan as approved by the Metropolitan
Planning Organization and included in the Development Order. In
effect, the hotel will have basically the same access it
presently has; however, it is believed that there is a basis for
agreement that in the event the hotel property is redeveloped, it
will have the ability to be connected to and directly served by
an expressway off -ramp, the same as Miami Center II Garage.

CITY of MIAMI. FLORIDA
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO. Walter Pierce
Acting Asst. City Manager
FROM:"
Donald W. Cather
` Director of Public Works
DATE- June 28, 1984
SUnJECT: Miami Center I -
Compliance with
Development Order
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
FILE:
The develop;nent of 'Miami Center I (City Commission Resolution 79-396,
May 24, 1979) required the following:
1. Dedication of a minimum 20' wide Bayfront-
Riverfront 14a].kway with construction by the
developer according to City standards.
2. Landscaping of the easterly end of Chopin Plaza to
connect the Baywalk with Bayfront Park.
3. Pay for a portion of the construction of "interim"
traffic improvements, and the "permanent" surface
street improvements.
4. Construct improvements on -Chopin Plaza according to
approved plans.
To this date, the developer has done the following:
1. Dedicated the Bayfront-Riverfront Walkway by two
separate easements. One, the Bayfront Walkway
(approximately 400 feet in length), has been
recorded by the City Clerk per Resolution 83-129,
February 10, 1983. The construction of the Walkway
surface has been completed, but there is no
landscaping, benches, lighting, or street
furniture.
The other easement, for the Riverfront Walkway, is
being held by the City Clerk in escrow, per
Resolution 83-130, February 10, 1983. The Clerk is
to record this easement when the construction is
completed, or the year 1990, whichever comes first.
Page 1 of 3 84-711
Walter Pierce June 28, 1984
The City is currently holding a surety bond in the
amount of $500,000 to cover this construction, and
the completion of other construction, noted below.
2. Construction of the concrete sub -base is completed.
However, there i.s no landscaping, no travertine
surface and no barrier gu irdrai.l . These items are
to be covered by the surety bond above. The
concrete curb along the turnaround at the bay
projected above the surface of the concrete base
approximately )I -inches. City forces placed a
sloping concrete surface behind the curb to reduce
the potential for pedestrian "tri_p and fall"
accidents.
3. It is our understanding that the "interim" street
improvements have been deleted.
However,
the
"surface street improvements", as delineated in
the
"Report and Recommendations" of the
South Florida
Regional Planning Council included
as Exhibit
"B"
of the Development Order for Miami
Center II,
are
attributable to Miami Center I
and II,
and
Southeast Bank.
Paragraph 15a, page 12, of the Development Order
requires the developer to "fund, bond, or provide a
letter of credit" in the amount of $813,200 for
surface street improvements. $481,598 of this
amount are attributed to Miami Center I. We have
made an allowance for approximately $52,000 for
work done in Biscayne Boulevard, leaving a balance
of $429,598. All amounts are in 1980 dollars.
Paragraph 15b, page 12, requires that the City
shall insure that the total amount above be
provided prior to issuing "certificates of
occupancy for any portion of Miami Center I". (See
attached table for cost allocation.)
4. The developer submitted plans for Chopin Plaza
which were approved by both Public Works and Off -
Street Parking. Construction was completed with
the exception of the final travertine surface on
the sidewalk along the north side of the street,
and those items mentioned in item 2 above. This
department gave final inspection and sign -off on
the parking area only.

Walter Pierce June 28, 1984
In addition, it is our understanding that the developer has not
fully compensated the City for the use of the former bandshell. By
agreement dated July 1, 1981, the City was to be paid $5,000 per
month for the use of the area. The developer i•ra., also to grade and
sod the area if negoGiati.ons with i:he City for a fountain could not
be concluded. The fees for the period ending July 1982 have been
paid, arnounti_ng to $6't ,750, including ;ales tax. The fees for the
period August 1982 through January 1983, amounting to $31,500
including sales tax, have not been paid. Also, the bandshell area
has not been graded and sodded as specified in the agreement due to
our effort to negotiate with the developer to build a fountain.

Venture. Prompt action on your part is necessary to avoid a
delay in the Florida Department of Transportation design process.
Therefore, compliance with the following obligations is required

dedication along the North right-of-way line of S.E.
4th Street (Biscayne Boulevard Way), pursuant to
Condition 13a of the Development Order.
2. The provision of funds, a performance bond or a
letter of credit in the amount of $971,800 (the

Dear Mr. Cary:
In reply to your letter dated June 9 regarding the Miami Center
Phase II DuPont Plaza Project, the Miami Center Joint Venture has
not approved the proposed design of the bifurcation system and
will not dedicate right-of-way prior to the final design being
submitted to the Joint Venture and being approved. The present
design is not acceptable.
Insofar as a performance bond or letter of credit in the amount
of $971,800 for surface improvements, it is my understanding that
it is not necessary to provide those funds prior to the issuance
of a building permit or a Certificate of Occupancy (Condition
1SB).
The front -ending of funds for the bifurcated ramps is specified
in Conditions I8 and 17 as amended - it is based upon arranging
loans or bond purchases from appropriate governmental agencies
using the increased ad valorem tax revenues. f corn the Southeast
Financial Center, Miami Center I and Miami Center II in funding
the improvements.

Re: Miami Center I (Ball Point)
Development Order
Dear Mr. Gould:
June 9, 1984
At out, meeting of November 2, 1983, we agreed that you would be
obligated to satisfy certain conditions in the Miami Center I
(Ball Point) Development Order (Resolution 79--396, May 24, 1979,
as amended) prior to the issuance of a final Certificate of
Occupancy. These obligations as yet unsatisfied, are as follows:
1. A covenant to provide the amount of $250,000 (in 1983
dollars) or whatever the amount of the lowest responsible
bid, whichever is less, for an overhead bridge from Bayfront
Park to the DPM station on Biscayne Boulevard, between SW 1st
and 2nd Streets to be utilized at the time the overhead
bridge is found to be necessary by the City of Miami or
Metropolitan Dade County, failing which, a lien will be
placed on the Miami Center II property in DuPont Plaza.
(Conditions,9).
2. A covenant that an overhead pedestrian connection will be
provided over Biscayne Boulevard connecting Miami Center I
with Miami Center II. (Condition 6).
3. A performance bond in the amount of $971,000 (April, 1984
dollars) ($813,200 in 1980 dollars) for local street
improvements in DuPont Plaza provided, however, that an
appropriate proportional credit, as determined by the
Department of Public Works, will be deducted for permanent
local street improvements completed by the developer which
are shown on Table 3.17 page 79, Exhibit "B" to Resolution
81-840 "Development of Regional Impact Assessment for Miami
Center, Phase II and Southeast Bank Financial Center"
prepared by South Florida Regional Planning Council December
1980. It is understood that the maximum credit for any
single sheet improvement is shown in the column headed "Miami
Center I" of Table 3.17 and that the credit, if any, is
offset against a base of $813,200 (in 1980 dollars).
(Condition 8 as it pertains to Condition 15a of the Miami
Center II Development Order).

Re: Miami Center I (Ball Point) Development Order
Dear Mr. Gary:
None of the conditions specified in your letter as being
conditions of the Miami Center I (Ball Point) Development Order
are in :fact conditions of the Phase I Development Order. Since
the City of Miami has not yet issued a final Certificate of
Occupancy for the construction of the Edward Ball Building and
the Pavillon Hotel, it is not my intention to engage in any
additional negotiations with you.
We have not had a single meeting in which it has been possible to
clearly define the conditions required for the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy based upon the building permits that
were issued for the construction of the Miami Center Phase I.

limits the project, but does not require that all parts be
built. A similar situation pertains to conditional use

(Blocks 2 ,3,11-Dupont

REFERENCES
ENCLOSURES.
Under the development order for Miami Center II , the developer
required to do the following:
1. Dedicate all easements and/or rights of way required
for the construction of the bifurcated ramp system
of the "Downtown Distributor",
2. Provide $813,000 (in 1980 dollars) for construction
of surface street improvements in the Dupont Plaza
area. This covered the allocated costs attributed
to both Miami Center I and Miami Center II. The
above funds were to be paid prior to issuing any
building permits for Miami Center II or certificates
of occupancy for any portion of Miami Center I.
We estimate that the value of improvements to
Biscayne Boulevard completed by Miami Center I is
approximately $52,000. The remaining, funds due,
approximately $950,000 in today's dollars, have not
been paid.
The attached schedule shows the cost allocation for
each project in the Dupont Plaza area. The amount
attributed to Southeast Banks has been paid.
3. The developer was also required to "front end" a
portion of the cost for design and construction of
the bifurcated ramp system, pending public sector
financing of the project. This is a moot point
since public sector financing has been achieved.
However, immediate dedication of the necessary right
of way is necessary to ensure that.i-hese funds are
not lost to other projects.
