Re: Ordinance No. 10544
Approximately 3160, 3170, 3180 and 3190 Oak Avenue, Miami, Florida
Dear Ms. Pardo:
Pursuant to the state -mandated and School Board approved Interlocal 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 review analysis of potential impact generated
by the above referenced application. Please note that only one of the impacted school
facilities meet the referenced review threshold. The proposed residential development
will impact Coral Gables Senior High School currently operating at 159% of FISH%
utilization, respectively (please see enclosed analysis).
Pursuant to the Interlocal, the District conducted a dialogue session with the applicant
on November 19, 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.

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. Viliaamil
