Second Avenue, 3rd Floor Miami, Florida 33130 Re: Royal (Atlantic W N.. 7 h Street and N.W. 11th Avenue, South of the Miami River Dear Ms. Gelabert-Sanchez: Pursuant to the state -mandated and School Board approved lnterlocal Agreement, local government, the development community and the School Board are to collaborate on the options to address the impact of proposed residential development on public schools where the proposed development would result in an increase in the schools' FISH % utilization (permanent and relocatable), in excess of 115%. This figure is to be considered only as a review threshold and shall not be construed to obligate the governing agency to deny a development. Enclosed please find the School District's (District) review analysis of potential impact generated by the above referenced application. Please note that two of the school facilities meet the referenced review threshold. The proposed residential development will impact Riverside Elementary and Jose de Diego Middle schools currently operating at 118% and 111 % of FISH % utilization, respectively. However, utilizing the County's Census 2000 figures, the proposed residential development will increase the FISH% utilization of Riverside Elementary and Jose de Diego Middle School to 135% and 118%, respectively (please see enclosed analysis). Pursuant to the Interlocal, the District conducted a dialogue session with the' applicant on October 13, 2003 to discuss the impact of the proposed development on public schools, The District is grateful that the applicant took the time to communicate with the District to discuss possible options that may accommodate new students generated by the proposed applicant. The District will advise the City in writing in the event the applicant and the District formalize a mitigation option to address school issues. Please be advised that any options proffered are subject to School Board approval. 11/20/2003 16:27 FAX 305 995 7749 MPC MAIN OFFICE Q1003 Ms. Ana Gelabert-Sanchez November 21, 2003 Page 2 Additionally, pursuant to Miami -Dade County's Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance the proposed development, if approved, will be required to pay educational facilities impact fees (impact fees) based on the following formula: New residential unit square footage X .90 (Square Footage Fee) + $600.00 (Base Fee) + 2% administrative fee = Educational Facilities Impact fee As an example, assuming the proposed unit is 2,000 square feet, the 748-unit development is estimated to generate approximately $881,280 ($2,448 per unit) in impact fees. This figure may vary since the impact fees assessed are based on the actual square footage of each dwelling unit. In accordance with the Agreement, this letter and enclosed information should not be construed as commentary on the merits of the pending zoning application. Rather it is an attempt to provide relevant information to the City on public schools that will likely serve the proposed development and meet the referenced threshold. As always, thank you for your consideration and continued partnership in our mutual goal to enhance the quality of life for the residents of our community. Sincerely, Vivian G.
