1. Describe the qualities, experience, expertise and/or abilities that you possess that would
make you an effective board member that will act in the public interest.
As a registered architect I have been actively involved with City and community planning since
beginning my career in 1975. One of the early projects I worked on was the first "Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Development Plan", during which I participated as the junior
planner for the Allapattah community. Subsequent to that, in the early 1980's I became
involved in the preparation of Community Redevelopment Plans and have over the years
prepared redevelopment plans for various communities around Florida including Jacksonville
Beach, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach and Key West.
In the early 1990's I was the principal author of the State University System of Florida's
"Guideline for the Comprehensive Campus Master Plan System". Modeled on the State's
Comprehensive Planning guideline, this document was designed to bring the state university
system into compliance with the State's growth management law. State Universities are required
to comply with the Guideline as specified in Chapter 1013.30 of the state statutes. Following
completion of that project our firm was retained to prepare the campus master plan for Florida
Gulf Coast University — for which I was the principal -in -charge. My work for colleges and
universities has also included the preparation of Campus Master Plans for Georgia Tech, the
University of South Florida at Tampa, Florida International University, the University of
Missouri at Kansas City, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the University of North
Carolina Wilmington, and Agnes Scott College in Decatur Georgia.
In the late 1990's I began working with housing authorities to prepare HOPE VI grant
applications to revitalize severely distressed public housing sites through the creation of mixed -
income communities. Successful grant applications I prepared included: Harris Homes and
Capitol Homes in Atlanta, McCallie Homes in Chattanooga, George Foster Peabody Apartments
in Columbus Georgia, Carver Homes in Orlando, and the Alamito Apartments in El Paso Texas.
Combined these applications were successful in obtaining $163 million for construction of new
housing.
Other notable planning projects I have worked on include: the Master Plan for the United States
Capitol - which addressed the U.S. Capitol Building, the House of Representatives, Senate,
Supreme Court and Library of Congress facilities on Capitol Hill; and the Master Plan for the
New Federal Capital of Nigeria.
Currently my professional practice is focused in three areas: community planning, master
planning for mixed -income commuriities and master planning for colleges and universities.

6. Describe any other activity evidencing knowledge and interest in the public purposes of
planning and plan implementation.
Since being selected to sit on the Coconut Grove Village Council I have been actively involved
in planning issues of importance to Grove residents. Specifically, in the spring of 2007 I
prepared an analysis of the NCD -3 overlay district in Coconut Grove R-1 districts, in response to
resident's concerns about the recent construction of "McMansions". My presentation of this
analysis to the Village Council included suggestions for how the ordinance could be improved to
improve the relationships between existing and new single family houses in the Grove. The
results of this analysis were presented to the City Commission in the. form of a Village Council
resolution. A copy of this analysis and my recommendations was also provided to the planners
working on Miami 21.
In addition I have assisted Miami Neighborhoods United in their work to respond to and improve
the Miami Comprehensive Plan / EAR amendments and Miami 21.
Most recently - in July and August of 2008, I led a Village Council subcommittee that addressed
concerns of Village West residents regarding the proposed "Grove Village on Grand"
development. The work of the committee involved meeting with the developer and residents and
culminated in a resolution passed by the Village Council supporting a variety of resident requests
for the planning and design of this project.

Re. Application to serve on the Planning Advisory Board
Dear Ms. Burns,
Attached please find my application for the Planning Advisory Board.
As we discussed on the phone today I have two questions regarding the requirements and
limitations of service on the board, which are as follows:
1. If I am selected to serve on the Board, will I have to resign my position on the Coconut
Grove Village Council? At present I have another year left on my current term on the
Council.
2. I am a principal of the firm Wallace Roberts & Todd — planners, architects and
landscape architects, with offices located in Coral Gables and other cities around the
country. I note in the attachment to the application a statement that members of the PAB
may not enter into contracts with the City. While we do not do a tremendous amount of
work for the city, there may be times when we would like to pursue a planning or design
project. I understand from my partner Gerald Marston, who serves on the Historic and
Environmental Preservation Board that the City Commission may set aside the limitation
on contracts upon application for a waiver, for a specific project, or instance. I would like
to confirm this is the case. While I can accept the limitation in general, in these economic
times it is not helpful to completely forfeit one's opportunity to pursue business
opportunities. Having the ability to request a waiver would be a great help in addressing
this concern.
I realize these are legal questions that may take consultation with the City Attorney to
answer. I would like to confirm the answers to these questions so that there is no
misunderstanding on my part regarding service on the PAB.
I am very happy to submit my application and look forward to the opportunity to serve
the City. Should you have any questions or need further information please do not
hesitate to contact me at: 305.302.3283 (cell), Apruettl00 a,aol.com.
Best Regards,
