REQUEST: To extend certain time limits in the Port of Miami Development -Order (Resolution 79-850; December-5, 1979). BACKGROUND: On December 5, 1979 the City of Miami Commission b.y Resolution No. 79-850 issued a Development Order to the Metropolitan Dade County Seaport Department for the expansion of the Port of Miami. The De velopment Order contained conditions, most of which have either been accomplished or are ongoing tiat present. However, the Seaport Department is ,requesting time extensions for certain conditions. ANALYSIS: `The time extensions being requested and the Plan- ning Department analyses are as follows: Condition 2: Time Extension of transportation alternatives analysis from December 5, 1980 to December 15, 1983; time extension of beginning construction on new bridge from December 5, 1983 to December 15, 1985. The first items involve the implementation of transportation access improve- ments to and from the Port of Miami. The Port 82=-4Sg 13 contracted for the development of comprehensive traffic and transportation study to identify and provide the best solution to this matter. This study has been underway for over a year and has required extensive coordination with the City, other governmental agencies and private land owners. Several alternatives have been developed and evaluated. A task force of the Trans- portation Planning Committee (TPC) of the Metro- politan Planning Ordanization (MPO) was formed to evaluate these alternatives. The first recom- mendations of the Task Force were made at its February 10, 1982 meeting. These recommendations will be presented shortly for approval to all res- ponsible agencies at which time implementation of the first phase is expected by years end. The Planning Department has encouraged the coor- dination of the Port transportation alternatives analysis with the Miami Accessibility and Mobility Study being conducted by William Smith Associates under contract to the County and State DOT. How- ever, the Accessibility and Mobility Study is at least a year behind schedule so that coordination has been difficult if not impossible. This De- partment will reCommend a time extension, how- ever, we believe that a time extension to De- cember.15, 1982 for the transportation plan would be more appropriate. Condition 3: Time extension for completion of fire service agreements from December 5, 1980 until December 15, 1982. This condition requires the establishment of an agreement with the City for fire service. Meetings for this have taken place, and although an agreement in principle exists, additional time is needed to formalize this accord. The Planning Department is aware of discussions bet- ween the Dade County Seaport and Fire Department and -- City of Miami Fire Department and agrees that a time extension is warranted to finalize the language. Condition 9: Time extension for transolanting 50% of the acreage displaced of seagrasses from December 5, 1981 until December 15, 1982. This item involves t e implementation of p anting the first 40 acres of seagrasses of the Port's 82-459 mitigation plan. After delays in obtaining all necessary approvals, the task is presently being carried out by Applied Marine Ecological Services, inc. under contract to Metropolitan Dade County. As of February 12, 1982, the con- tractor has completed 1.85 acres. It is ex- pected that all 40 acres will be completed by years end. This is consistent with all other permits from the State DER and Corps of Engineers. The Planning Department will support this request conditioned on demonstration that the request is consistent with compliance with federal and state requirements. Condition 17: Time extension for completion of "substantial development". Although there has been significant development of the Port in terms of dredging and filling, this condition defines "substantial development" as the achievement of five. items, for which relief is sought. The Planning Department supports this time ex- tension in view of the on -going progress in de- veloping the Port.
