Attached herewith are copies of the pages, with the recommendation underlined, from the "Feasibility Report for the Proposed Conference/Convention Center Garage" prepared by Conrad Associates East, the parking consultant to the Off -Street Parking Authority. In addition, Motion Mo.78-725 directed the City Manager to start condemnation proceedings on the two parcels. Discussions have been held with the owners of both proper- ties and may lead to a successful negotiated sale of one or both parcels. If the purchases can be negotiated, then the City will, of course, withdraw the condemnation proceeding. Arrangements are being made by the Planning Department for relocation of the Butler Building, possibly to Lummus Park.

Knight Intern.ational Center. The report recommends development of the Proposed Parking Garage No. S. We believe it is desirable. to uurchase the additional parcel of to make the site nearly square. The parking capacity of the rec_ornrnended facility would be 749 si)ac:es or 928 spaces, depending on whether the City of Miami decides to mek.e provision for an air - rights structure above the Garage. The capital cost of $6,870,000 or $10,400,000 would be met by the issuance of revenue bonds. Any parking revenue bond issue sold by the Department of Off -Street Park- ing would have to be guarr.tnced by the City of Miami for the first five (or more) years, as the required amount can not be funded under the existing Bond Ordinance. It has been a pleasure to be of service to you. The cooperation of the Department of Off -Street Parking and the City of Miami is greatly appreciated.

Knight International Center. The consideration of two major alternatives results in the study of six schemes. The two major alternatives are• o Purchase_ of additional land parcel. o Provision for air rights structure above the garage. The principal recommendations of the report are: o Construct a garage with a capacity of 749 spaces without air • rights provisions or 938 spaces with air rights provisions. • Purchase additional parcel ofland,� • Carefully consider the inclusion of the air rights provisions. • Finance the project through separate bond issues for the City of Miami portion and the Department of Off -Street Parking portion; OR Finance the project through a single bond issue sold by the Department with the City paying the' Department at an accel- erated rate to amortize the City portion of the project in thirteen years instead of thirty years.

Should it be possible to acquire the additional land necessary for these schemes, then schemes C--1 or C-2 are recommended. r 2. It is recommended that the additional parcel of land be acquired by the City of Miami for use as part of this project. This addi- tional land is necessary to con,,trerct a parking g,-iraye of the size required to properly serve the convention center complex. Also, as determined by r rendino, Crofton, Spillis, Candela, this additional land is needed if a feasible air rights structure is to be included in the project. One lot of the additional parcel of land has a building upon it which may be considered a "historical building" within the city. Should this building receive the "historical" classification, con- siceration might be given to relocating the building to another site so that this -site can be used for the proposed project. For " example, the "hisotircal building" might be relocated to a site along the proposed river walk under the expressway in the vicinity of S.W. North River Drive and S.W. 3rd Street.
