Nommolumigun BACKGROUND: ANALYSIS: Grand Avenue Park, George Washington Carver Elementary School and Junior High School are to the west, single family housing is to the north and east, the Kings Way housing project is to the south. Zoning is R-2. By previous action of May 16, 1977, the Zoning Board has recommended the closure of the por- tion of Jefferson Street between the subject site and Grand Avenue Park (Resolution ZB 82-77) . The consulting firm of Hoffman/Santos/Raimundez has prepared a report "Fire Rescue Training Center" (May 1979) for the Fire Department recommending that: 1. The incinerator be renovated as a Fire Rescue Training Center. 2. Jefferson Street be closed and Grand Avenue Park uses be expanded into the vacated right-of-way. 3. The basketball courts, tennis courts and parking area be retained. 4. The site around the structure be re -con- toured to separate the circulation of fire apparatus and private automobiles and parking. The training function consists of a) recruit training and b) in-service training of existing personnel. Some of the training exercises, such as maneuvering fire fighting apparatus, will be conducted on the site. However, all testing and training involving noise and smoke will be con- ducted inside the. structure Thirty parking spaces are provided for the staff. of five and average classes of 25. The site will be generously landscaped. The proposed budget is $1.43 million from Fire Department bond funds, with construction scheduled to commence this fall. Should the community approve, CD funding might become available for landscaping a 15' wide linear connection along the north side of the site, next to Washington Avenue. ANALYSIS: RECOMMENDATION PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD The Coconut Grove Neighborhood Advisory Committee (CD Task Force) by letter of August 6, 1979 (attached) has expressed their opposition to the Fire Rescue Training Facility. Approval, of a) and b) subject to site and development plan approval. This recommendation is based on the following factors: a) Compatibility. The surrounding park uses, parking areas and open space will allow compatibility of the facility with the surrounding neighborhood. b) Plan Conformity. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan designates the site for recreation and open space, in conformity with PR and GU zoning. c) Traffic Access and Circulation. Circulation is internal to the site with ready external access from Thomas. Avenue to Brooker Street to Grand Avenue an arterial street. d) Effect Upon Adjacent Properties. The impact of the facility on drainage, light and air and property values is considered beneficial by stationing City personnel in this large structure, whose present vacancy is considered detrimental. e) Scale Relationships. Although out -of -scale with the surrounding single-family, school and park development this use makes productive use of an obsolescent City facility. f) Design, Landscaping and Amenities. Generous landscaping and open space is provided. g) Essential Use. Fire Rescue Training is essen- tial to adequately train City firefighters. DEFERRED by a 4-0 vote, September 5, 1979.
