Miami Neighborhoods United response to the first reading of the Growth -Related Capital
Improvements & Impact Fees report of TischlerBise, consultants to the city, before the
Miami City Commisison, originally scheduled for November 3 but reschduled for
November 17, 2005. This report is presented to the City Clerk to be incorporated into the
public record by Steve Hagen, Chair of the Parks Committee.
We request that the City Attorney consider this as a public information request for important
documents and answers which we have previously requested but have not received.
Please note that our oral presentation will cover only five of our major concerns. We
recommend that you study all of our concerns and recommendations so you will have the
benefit of why Miami Neighborhoods United believes that the proposed ordinance, in its present
form, needs improvements in order to be in the best interests of new residents of Miami. In its
present form it will not provide adequate park land to serve future residents.
The Parks Committee of Miami Neighborhoods United is relieved that this Commission finally
has the oppurtunity to hear this proposed ordinance which in concept could make significant
progress toward charging new residents more closely for the capital needs which are brought
about by the additions of new residents to our city. It could be a great ordinance if just a few
simple. but significant changes are made. We wish this ordinance or an improved version would
have been in place over the last two years when this city has experienced some of its most
rapid residential growth with new population being added to our city.
First we will address our five major concerns. then some lesser yet important concerns and then
then we will leave you with a bit of history of leaders who took bold stands to create and oresrve
some of our most important parks.
Our FIRST major concern is the number of acres the contractor and adminisration are using to
describe our park system or should we say the number of acres they are using to calculate park
acreage per thousand residents. This park acreage inventory figure is critical as when it is
divided by our population it gives the most important factor used to determine the new park land
which will be needed to serve Miami's new residents. As you know, if you use incorrect data,
you will get an incorrect answer. Please refer to page ten of the Tischler Bise Report.
You will notice only 33 of Miami's 106 parks are listed as "City Wide Parks" We would like the
adminstration to explain why only these 33 parks are being used as a base to calculate our park
acreage per resident. We need to explore this topic.

• Please note that in the report, Bayfront Park is listed as a waterfront park but the 61
acres was not listed nor was the 61 acres included in the total for waterfront parks.
Please note that 12 acres will be added to the above total when Little Haitti Park is completed
and a modest number of new park acres will be added to the above total with the completion of
Miami River Walk. Baywalk on the mainland and on Watson Island will most likely not include
any additional park acreage as it will be consructed over existing property.
Please note that the city. since 2001 has consistently listed 486 acres on Viraina Key, the .
picnic islands in Biscayne Bay, parks less than three acres and the Miami Cemetery when
talking about total park acreage which produces a total park acreage of 1194 acres. This is the
number that was given to the Trust for Public Land in 2002 for the report which resulted in a
ratio of 3.1 acres per thousand residents.
The administration is now using just 361 acres as a base to calculate a park acreage ratio.
361 divided by the 2005 year—round population of 386,127 which equals .9 (nine tenths) acres
Per thousand residents or 39.2 square feet per person.
Miami Neighborhoods United is not counting 317 acres of land on Virginia Key which the city
has listed because the land is not designated or improved as parkland. (486 —77- 72-20 = 317)
We are adjusting our park acreage to 875.99 acres to accurately represent the number of acres
of park land available for residents to enioy in Miami. 875.99 acres divided by a population of
386,127 produces 2.26 acres per thousand residents or 98.45 square feet per resident. This is
.84 acres less than the city reported to theTrust for Public Land in 2002.
If this Commission approves of using .9 acres per thousand residents, as a new standard, you
would be eliminating and totally ignoring for imapct fee purposes 50% of Miami's actual useable
park acreage.
The .9 acre number is less than the 1.3 acres per thousand Level of Service minimum standard
as stated in the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan and you would be in violation of that
plan.
We all understand that Miami is at the bottom of list when it comes to park acreage per resident
of allhigh density cities in the United States. We may never remove ourselves from the bottom
of that list produced by Trust for Public Land in Washington, DC. We quoted that study in our
July 7, 2005 presentation. As caretakers and stewards of our small but precious park acreage
You must not cause a further dilution of our park acreaae. If you are to add new residents. you
must do so only if we you can do so without diluting our current acreage per resident ratio.
October 31, we reviewed the Tischler report with Peter Hamick of the Trust for Public Land over
the telephone and indeed he found it troubling why a vast majority of Miami park land would be
eliminated from the total acrege number. He said that cities usually use a "reality" number of
acres to be used as the base for impact fee purposes. He explained that by "reality" he meant
actual total acreage. Miami's current "reality" number of acres per thousand is 2.26 acres per
thousand.
In a telephone conversation October 31 with Mr. Tischler, neither he nor an associate, Mr.
Guthery who produced the data for this report, would answer our question as to what
percentage of their municipal clients create separate categories — categories which are then
totally eliminated from park acreage calculations. 3 Submitted Into the public

Priscilla A. Thompson

We also spoke with one of the maior consultants in the United States, Duncan and Assoicates
of Austin, Texas which produces impact fee studies such as the report we are discussing. They_
do work in Florida and they said it is common to create categories for the purposes of
determining their replacement cost. for establishing the type of facilities which my be needed or
to determine the type of maintenance and plantings needed in passive parks.
The creation of park categories does not mean that you eliminate whole categories of parks
from total acreage for impact fee purposes. indeed all park acreage is included in the arriving at
total park acreage. The only time they eliminate a category of park land from the total is when
it is total wetland or some other type of land which is not accessable to the public a majority of
the year.
Duncan and Associates said they only knew of one consultant which routinely eliminaes all small
neighborhood parks (in our case. parks three acres and less) and other categories of parkland
from being counted for impact fee purposes and that consultant is TischlerBise. Thev offered
the name We conclude that TisschlerBise is a rarity in their field in using this methodolgy.
Mr. Tischler of TischlerBise told us the process of dealing with the city of Miami began about the
fall of 2003. All members of our committee thought the process had begun in the fall of 2004 as
that is when we first heard about it at a Commission meeting. Mr Tischler said much time
passed before a contract was awarded, then it took considerable time to get all the insurance
requirements in place, time for the city to supply data and then the actual study took just three
months. Is it possible that the administration was interviewing many consultants to find a
methodology they would be comfortable with to produce very conservative fees, much lower
than what other consultants might recommend?
We recommend that our new total park acreage of 875.99 acres be used to calculate the
appropriate number of acres per thousand residents which will result in a number of Z.26
acres per thousand new residents or 98.45 square feet per new resident and that the
Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan be adjusted to 2.26 acres per thousand
residenets. Furthermore we recommend that during the first yearly review, that twelve
acres be included for Little Haiti Park and another other new park acreage be added to
the total with new calculations to be applied to fees. See a later section on annual and
trianial review and adjustment.
Our SECOND major concern is about the cost of new Dark land: On page 11, figure 11
five parcels of land wich were purchased for the creation of Little Haiti Park are listed with a
price per square foot of $50 listed as an average. This $50 cost is then used in the calculation
of acquiring aditional acres of land for the creation of new parks. Mr.Tischler told me they did
not explore the cost of raw land, underimproved land or other types of land in other areas of the
city. Duncan & Associates said it would cost about $20,000 to hire a firm to determine the most
current cost per square foot of land in various parts of the city where parks are most needed.
We recommend that, as a condition of this ordinance, that this Commisison order the
admistrations to hire a contractor to provide current market prices per square foot for
acquiring real estate parcels throughout the city which would be appropriate for park
land. We recommed that they give you prices on parcels of three acres and less and of
more than three acres. These prices should then be incorporated into this ordinance not

later than two months after this first reading. We further recommend that twelve
months later and every twelve months that a similar study be conducted and that the
prices per quare foot be adiusted in the ordinance and not lust reviwed as is currently
stated in the ordinance.
Our THIRD maior concern is about purchasing park land in a timely manner: We have
deep concerns that as land prices rise, some years more rapidly then others, that the fees
collected for the purchase of land may not be invested in timely manner and that these time
delays may inhibit the purchase of all the acreage the funds were expected to purchase.
Subsequently if land purchasees are delayed, the park equipment costs will also rise as the time
clock is running. We recommend that you establish an ongoing program of banking park
land prior to the need, prior to approving building applications, so there would always be
a park land inventory which would be matched to various building permits. Funds from
the "Land Trust" established by this Commission could be used to start this land bank
for parks and then park impact fees, as they are collected, would replenish the fund
Our FOURTH maior concern is about the Impact Fee Review Board and its powers:
in the ordinance, mention is made of an impact Fee Review Board but there is no definition of
such a board. We recommend that the Parks Advisory Board be named in the ordinance
to provide oversight in the collection, dispersal, review and adjustment of impact fees
for parks and not just city staff as it is currently. We further recommend that the word
review be replaced with the words "review and adjust" in regard to every aspect of the
yearly and trienal work.
As we stated in our July presentation before this Commission, we recommend again that
the Parks Advisory Board be a board elected by the voters with one member being
elected from each NET area. This could be done thru meetings in each NET area. It
would not be necessary to use the elections department. Furthermore, the Parks
Department working with NET should establish "Friends of Parks" volunteer group to act
as stewards for the parks in their NET area. Any neighborhood which chooses to look
after a specific park should be also recogonized and assisted by the Parks Department
and NET.
Our FIFTH maior concern is about the defensibility of the ordinance: During the Tischler
presentation in September, one of you stated that there must be a "happy medium" in regard to
the amount of impact fees to be imposed. We would like to say that the impact fees you are
considering should be approached stricly as an exercise in real numbers and any thought of
altering the numbers to come up with fees which may be more or Tess acceptable to the
development community and to new residents could be challenged by developers or citizen
groups.
We believe that the number of residents per unit as presented by TischlerBise are very
conserative on the side of the developer and new residents and the fees collected will not
provide the necessary funds need to purchase new park land to serve these new residents.

We question whv some residences which are oversized and which could very well house more
than the average number of residents of 1.67 persons per unit are not being charged more in
impact fees. Collier County and the City of Chicago charge more for larger residences.
We recommend that you look seriously at adding larger fees to oversized units.
While the new fees may seem quite high, we believe they would be defensible bv reference to
the case of The Homebuilders Association of Metro Orlando, Plaintiffs, v. Osceola
County,Florida where school impact fees in the amount of $9,708.30 per residence were upheld.
in 2005.
Concern about purchasing new parkland without using eminent domain. At the
September information session one or more of you expressed your concerns about the ability of
finding additinal acreage in Miami which could be converted to parkland. This is especially
important when the process of eminet domain is mentioned. After several phone calls around
city hall several months ago we were able to secure a list of city own property and as you may
know there is not many large parcels owned by the city available which would be appropriate for
parkland. Our request for a list of county owned property has still not been met by the city.
We understand that there may be as much as 500 acres of vacant County own property which
could be appropraite for parkland. We were told that securing such a list is very complicated and
that the city was wonting on it. Does the city have such a list now? We request a copy be
mailed to address at the end of this document.
Residential developers have been placing trees and gardens on the tops of buildings and
parking garages for decades and whv not? Such gardens offer residents of these buildings
wonderful views of their surroundngs and in Miami our sunrises an sunsets are truly
breathtaking. We recommend that the offstreet parking authority work in partnership with
developers to provide much needed parking structures along commercial corridors.
Techiniques are available to place two or more floors of parking underground. even in South
Florida. Ground floors can be occupied bv retail with one or two more floors of parking above
that. The structure then gets crowned with a roof top garden with the ability to add tot lots for
children and shade strucutres for domino games and social gathering. Imagine residents all
over the city meeting up for the sunrise or sunset hours? Imagine the foot traffic which wouei
be created to and from these structures? These roof top garden parks can be placed on
vacant or underdeveloped commercial land such as outdated strip shopping areas in the city
which would be great canditates for this type of redevelopment.
Concern about what impact fees are in other cities: At the information session in
September, one of you requested that TischlerBise or staff provide you with a list of what fees
are being charged in other Florida cities. We hope we will see that list today. If it is not
provided we request that the adminstration mail a copy to the address at the end of this
document. Because we are a volunteer group we did not have the time to speak with all the
cities in Florida to acquire the data, but we believe we know the answer. You will most likely
see that Miami's proposed fees for parks will be the highest in Florida. This is due to the fact
that many cities do need to take advantage of the Florida Statue which allows impact fees
because those cities have high park acreage per resident numbers already. We hope we will

also see a list of the acreage per thousand residents number along with the list of fees for these
cities. You can be assured that all major Florida cities have more acreage per thousand
residents than Miami.
We know that Tampa is above average in the United States in terms of parks with about eleven
acres per thousand residents, therefore they are not charging fees. They do realize they have
slipped slightly over the last few years and that they need to start charging fees so that they do
not slip further in the rankings. In reguard to their central business zone, they do require
developers along the water to incorporate 35% open space into their plans at ground level with
many restrictions on what qualifies as open space and 10% open space is required for
properties not on the water.
Collier County has had impact fees for parks higher than what is being proposed in our
ordinance and we assume that real estate in Collier County may be less expensive per square
foot when compared to Miami so their fees will purchase more land than in Miami. They charge
fees on two categories of parks. They actually adjust their fees yearly and not simply review
them as is called for in Miami's ordinance.
Chicago is 83 percent above Miami in terms of park acreage per thousand residents at about
4.1 acres per thousand compared to our 2.26 In June. when we spoke with them. their fees
were already higher than what is being proposed in the ordinace before you and we were told
at that time they were reviewing the fees and were considering a substantial one hundred
percent increase.
Concern about park categories being created. It is acceptable to create certain categories of
parks, however by doing so, there also comes the obligation of establishing corresponding
standards which each park must measure up to. The report before you has created three
categories of parks and Miami's own list of parks has seven additiiomal categories of parks so
there is much confussion. We expect that Goody Clancy, the parks consultant under
Miami 21, may very well recommend certain categories and standards for our parks, so if
you pass this ordinance, we recommend that you reserve the ability to add or change
categories and add standards for categories at a later date. In the Goody Clancy public
meetings thus far, one of the top five concerns which residents have expressed is the lack of
access to the Miami River and Biscayne Bay. If you define waterfront parks as. quote:
"primarily passive recreation areas that provide access to the bay or the Miami River" then
facilities such as musuems and shopping centers may not be compatible in these passive
waterfront parks.
We are certain developers doing work in Miami are very aware of the benefits of locating their
residential buildings close to existing parks. This is evident by any number of marketing
materials we see daily in newspapers. We would like to show you a four page insert which
appeared in the Miami Herald October 24, 2005. This insert shows five residential high rise
properties all located near water and near parks. Indeed this map is one of the best maps we
have seen in terms of showing parks as it very clearly shows all of Miami's parks in green.
In fact it includes some small parks that we have not seen even on the most professional maps.
It clearly shows all of Virgina Key (excepting the County owned sewer facility) and Watson
Island as huge parks. These maps are wishfutl thinking on the park of developers as they are

not accurate.

Indeed. it would be accurate to say that 95% of the residential proiects that have been
completed, are under constuction or in the planning stages in Miami are located within one
quarter mile of a park but the report before you ignores and does not count many of our parks
as parks for impact fee purposes. We expect that the creation of parks anywhere in Miami
woule attract development near new parks. If polled, developers could not deny that access to
waterfront parks and all parks are great marketing atttibutes and have measurable value.
Again we recommend that our total park acreage of 875.99 acres be used to calculate the
appropriate number of acres per thousand residents which will result in a number of 2.26
acres per thousand new residents or 98.45 square feet per resident.
Concern about large facilities covering green acreage. There is no provision to replace
green park acreage when large facilities like pools, courts, gymnasiums and museums are
added to parks. We recommed that twice the acreage which is covered by buildings or
facilities be converted to dollars per new resident and be added on a yearly basis to the
per person cost of the park land aquisition impact fee.
Concern that impact fees due may be dramatically reduced by credits. What is the rational
for allowing developers to petition the city to receive credit for installing any of the long list of
capital improvements when the main purpose of the impact fees should be to acquire additional
park land with just ten percent going to improvements? MNU can easily see where a developer
will be credited back the entire fees they should have paid to the city for the purchase of park
land. We recommend that credits be granted only for green space additions on the
development and then the credit should be resticted to ten percent of the total fee.
In other words, all Capital Improvement Projects, many of which involve pouring
concrete, should not be open to credits against the park land impact fee.
Concern about not using cost recovery method. On page four of the report, three methods
of assessing impact fee are discussed. Quote: "The first method is the cost recovery method.
To the extent that new growth and development is served by previously constructed
improvemnts, the city of Miami may seek reimbursement for the previously incured public facility
costs"
Taxpayers of existing property over the years have paid for all existing infrastructure. It could be
argued that new residents who live within one quarter of one half mile of a "major" park not
found elsewhere in the city receives the greatest benefit of that park therefore they should pay a
one time fee to pay for the benefit of a facility not found elsewhere in the city. When a single
family residence is constructed and also upon resale the owner is paying for the cost of impact
fees incorporated into the sales price but in addition they are paying substantinal dollar amount
for the benfit of front side and back yards. Multifamily family residents must understand that
parks serve as their front, side and back yard, therefore a one time fee which could be quite
substantial is appropriate. We believe that between the cost of land, constuction costs,
marketina costs, developer markup and the sales price there is adeauate elasticity in market
Priced units to absorb the impact fees resulting from our recommendations. There are ways to
delay the collection of fees if the unit qualifies as work force priced affordable housing.

City C!crk
Of course, it could be argued that, due to the location of the real estate and the sales price that
new residents will pay higher property taxes but higher property taxes do not allow for the
capital expenditure to purchase additional parkland. Impact fees do. In this regard, this and
future adminsitrations and commissions should not ask residential and commercial taxpayers to
pay for additional bonds to pay for additional park land and improvemnts and other standard
infrastucture items brought about by increased population. Reauest for higher taxes should be
limited to making major additions to our infrastucture such as a possible museum or
entertainment facility and not for day to day needs brought about by population growth.
If there is no clear reason for not using the cost recovery method then we recommend
that this method be incorporated into the plan to charge future residents for past
expenditures especially in regard to residential units located near premier parks not
found anyplace in the city while they also contribute toward maintaining the 2.26 acres
per thousand standard.
Concern about the cost of improvements for Waterfront Parks. On page 11, figure 12
there is a list of "Original Costs of Improvements". We verified with Tishler that the city provided
these figures and Tishler believes they are original dollars costs and not current cost numbers.
Which are they? We recommend that you make certain these numbers are current cost
numbers.
Additional questions. requests for information and recommendations. Some of the
questions above and below were submitted via via email to Lourdes Slaysak October 1 but we
never received a reply from her. Subsequently Alicia Schrieber responded with an email but
most of ourquestions were still not answered. We request answers from the adminstation at this
time.
What residents or residents groups were contacted and invited to attend and did attend any
meetings in developing this study and ordinance?
Since we have not received a copy of the RFP used to seek a contractor, what was stated in
that document or any other document as to the goal or goals to be achieved in regard to
acquiring new parkland. We request that a copy of the RFP and any other documents
used in selecting TischlerBise be mailed to the address at the end of this document.
DRI areas will be be excluded from impact fees. We would like to receive a map of these
areas mailed to the address at the end of this document.
Is it the intention to change the cut off date for builder applicants who will pay the old fee and the
new fees to be the first Friday after the date the Commission actually approves it on second
reading?
Is it the intention of the ordinance that if an application is submitted before the cut off date but
then expires that the applicant can then reapply and still pay the old fees? This is unclear to us.
We recommend that it be cleary stated in the ordinance that if an application is not
approved by the day the ordinance is passed on second reading that any pending
applications will pay the new fees. Submitted Into the public'

Priscilla A. Thompson
City Clerk
Is it standard practice that any petitions which challenge the fees are to be directed to the city
manager and then the applicant can appeal to the Commission? Can not the Parks Advisory
Board, elected as we recommend, hear such appeals?
Now that we have a bond issue in place which is paying for the creation and improvements of
Little Haiti Park and some other park improvements which all residential and commercial
taxpayers will be paying off, what happens when new taxes are collectd on new residential and
commercial property? Do the bonds get paid off sooner or does everyone pay less given the
addition of new taxable properties
We do not expect a huge outcry from residents on this ordinance, especially at this time
of recovery from Hurricane Wilma but residents in all five Commisison districts have
already spoken out on this subject durina the input sessions of the Miami Neiahborhood
Comprehensive Plan review conducted in 2004. Although those sessions were poorly
attended, some good comments were collected by the Codina consualtants from Texas who
were hired by the city. If vou were to read the comments from those meetings, vou would
learn that residents in four out of five Commisison districts clearly said then wanted and needed
more parks in their neighborhoods, however those needs were not incorporated in the
Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was submitted to the Department of Community Affairs
in Tallhessee A simple look at a city map will confirm that many neighborhoods are miles from
a park, a far cry from the one quarter mile walk which is the standard recommended by park
professionals. As the parks study portion of the of Miami 21 plan moves forward, this need of
residents will be validated a second time. Miami Neighborhoods United which represents
residents in 24 neighborhoods around Miami are looking to this Commisison to do the right thing
in regard to this ordinance.
It is no fault of this Commission or Adminsitration that some Miami leaders and residents of the
past have collectively placed parks on the bottom of the list of operation funds and of capital
improvments funds over many years. Indeed we have a park acreage deficite which we must
not allow to grow worse, especially when you are at the helm of the city at a time which is
experiencing unpresindented populatioon growth.
There have been a few bright spots in Miami's past in term of parks and it is worth looking at the
history of how some of our parks were created. We would like to single out a few of Miami's
parks to demonstrate that it took concerned and dedicated individuals who cared for and
understood the value of parks and who spoke out tireleslly to bring about their creation and to
preserve them as parks.
Simpson Park, our oldest hammock park in Miami was saved in the late fifties by Phillip Wiley
and others. Mr. Wiley, a nationally recogonized writer had letters published attacking the
historical group at the time for wanting to destroy a sigificant part of the park to construct a
historical museum. Does this sound familiar today with so much of our parkland be covered
with buildings which could be located elsewhere?
David Kennedy Park is named after Mayor David Kennedy who in 1972 created the Parks for
People Committee. They papered a billboard on a building at the old port of Miami facility
which read "Let's Tear Down This Sign and Replace it with a Beautiful Park for People. 39
million of bond money was approved to create Bicentennial Park. Submitted Into the public
10 record in connection with
lttm r 'Pf . b or ti - i't-oS
Qriscalla A. Thompson
.city Clerk
Bicentennial Park was then created by filling boat slips of the old port of Miami which was then
moved to Dodge Island. The downtown community slowed down the process as they wanted
wanted to use the site to construct a museum, an auditorium, a luxury hotel and a yacht club.
The Miami Herald ran a series of stories entitled, "It's your Bayfront" The people spoke up and
voted to approve bonds to develop it as a park. And now the Miami Herald is taking a 180
degree turn and supporting buildings in Bicetennial.
Wainwright Park is named after Commissioner Lois Wainwright who served We
single out this park as it is one of only few larger passive parks we have where a person can go
and escape the concrete which has become the trademark of Miami. We are indebted to
Commissioner Wainwright for her years of advocacy for parks.
Virginia Key many people may not know is a collection of city and county own land with a
variety of desiginations and as we learned earlier it is not all desiginated as park land. There
are thirty acres of Virginia Key which have remained green and open to the public thanks to
Mable Miller who is with us today. Because of the efforts of a group organized by her, known
as "Friends of Virginia Key" they we able to prevent the Goodyear Corporation from using 30
acres for their own private use. And in the last few years, The Virginia Key Trust under the
direction of Atalie Range is working to assure that this important part of our past is preserved for
future generations to learn from and enjoy.
Miami Neighborhoods United join Mable Miller in her reauest that this Commission declare all of
Miami's portion of Virginia Key as restrictedpark land and we urge this Commission to get on
with the process of opening those portions which can be opened to the public so that when we
look at a map colored all preen we will know that it is truly a park.
So we have activists. a mayor. a commissioner and even a newspaper who all took stands to
develop andpreserve park land and Miami residents are thankful for their efforts.
This ordinance is about developers and new residents paving their fair share. When a
developer decides to do business in Miami and a new resident decides to call Miami home they
must accept Miami with all its wonderful assets and they must accept our warts. They must
understand that our wart of a park land deficit will always be a part of our city character but we
must not allow this wart to get larger. Our developers and new residents must contribute to the
purchase of new parkand at the rate of 2.26 acres per thousand or 98.45 square feet per
resident.
We are here to ask you to do your part in providing adequate park land to serve new residents
so that we and future generations can look back and say that our generation and specifically this
Commisison did all we could for the addition of park land.
This is your time to shine. The voters of Miami have entrusted this Commisison to be good
stewards of all of Miami's assetsand add parks in proportion to the new population. Please act
responsibly for the residents of Miami and for the generations to follow. Please incorporate our
recommendations into this ordinance and other ordinances.

Parks Committee of Miami Neighborhoods United, 725 NE 73 Street, Miami 33138
305 754 0099
Added after November 3, 2005:
Please note Miami Neighborhoods United was present at the September 22, 2005 Commission
Meeting at which time there was to be a first reading of the "Impact Fee Ordinance". Instead
the Commission chose to hear from and question the two persons from TischlerBise the
consultant hired by the the administration to conduct the impact fee study. The two persons
present from TischlerBise included an attorney and a data person.
The next first reading of the subject ordinance was scheduled for November 3, 2005. That
Commission meeting was postponed to Nobember 3 due to Hurricane Wilma recovery efforts.
Miami Neighborhoods United had twelve people present at the November 3 Commission
meeting for the first reading. The city manager said the attorney for TischlerBise cound not be
present and therefore the first reading would have to be continued to Nobember 17. Sally
Jude, a member of the Parks Committee of Miami Neighborhoods United and also chair of
Parks Advisory Board of the City of Miami immediately proclamed along With other members of
the parks commttee that we wanted a time certain for the November 17 meeting. The city
attorney immediately replied that a time certain could not be set because this was not a
Planning and Zoning item.
Steve Hagen, chair of the Parks Committee of MNU then approached the microphone and
stated he had spoken with the data man, Duane Guthery, at Tischler Bise on November 1 and
Mr. Guthery said he was not going to be at the meeting. Hagen's microphone was turned off
and the Commission Chair Sanchez said this was not a public hearing.
Hagen later learned from Otto Budet of the Mayors office that the attorney for TischlerBise had
to attend her brothers wedding. Hagen found out from TischlerBise that, Susan Schoettle-
Gum, a subcontractor of TischlerBise, lives in Sarasota, Florida and was to attend a wedding of
her brother on Friday November 5 in Memphis, Tennessee. When Hagen asked Ms. Schoettle-
Gum as as to how long the wedding had been planed, she was defensive and said to ask that
question of the city mangers office.
Miami Neighborhoods United is greatly concerned as to the number of delays in hearing this
ordinace because we estimate that the taxpayers of Miami are loosing between 3-6 million
dollars in imapct fees for parks, plus other impact fees with every residential condo building of
400 units being approved under the current ordinance.
In regard to the last delay, which certainly the administation knew about, as indeed weddings
are planned months in advance, we request a public appology for causing a dozen people to
miss work and important engagements.
We further question why it was necessary to postpone the hearing because the attorney could
not be present, given the fact that TischlerBise does business with at at least four other
attorneys in Florida who know Florida law. Furthermore, why did the admistration feel it was

necessary to have the attorney present but not the data man when in fact, the data is just as
important as the law in the formulation of impact fee ordinances. Let is also be noted that at the
July presentation to the Commission by MNU, that Chairman Sanchez requested the
admistration to include the Parks Committee of MNU in the impact fee work. Assistant City
Manager Alecia Schriber, after that meeting, told Parks Committee Chair Hagen that, "You we
be called when we are ready for you" Our first contact with the Admistration was a meeting
November 15.
The admistration has not even consulted with your own Parks Advisory Board. As of November
16, 2005 the PAB had not been provided with a copy of the TischlerBise study, nor a copy of the
ordinance. MNU finds it terribly troubling that this board was also excluded from the process.
Thus, you will understand the total frustration of MMU in this process which has been totally
closed to public imput, especially when it was recommended by Chairman Sanchez.

RE: Ordinance File Number 05-01042
Development of Impact Fee and Other Related Fees
Dear Commissioners:
Regarding the referenced ordinance and the accompanying study "Growth -Related Capital
Improvements & Impact Fees" prepared by TischlerBise dated September 16, 2005:
1. Police Infrastructure Standards calculations (TischlerBise pages 30 and 31) specifically
exclude the cost of land, whereas the Infrastructure Standards for Fire -Rescue (page 18)
provides for the cost of land. The Police calculations should include the cost of land.
2. Park Impact Fee Schedule is in violation of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood
Plan (TischlerBise study page 14) Acceptable Level of Service Standard, Policy CI-
1.2.3.(a) " ... 1.3 acres of public park space per 1000 residents." - because of inappropriate
methodology in the study. The Level of Service of 0.9 is carried forward from page 10
based on "Citywide Parks" only. The consultant's methodology does not take into
consideration actual and planned growth throughout the city. The October 2005 Large Scale
Development Report shows 47% of Residential/Condo Units outside of downtown
(Attachment B). This does not count the huge number of single family and smaller
multifamily residential units being developed outside of downtown. The consultant's
methodology also does not take into consideration the current Land Use Map or the Miami
21 Project planning for development of higher density along the transit corridors, at
transportation nodes, workforce housing outside of downtown, etc.
MNU proposes that the appropriate current level of service for the Impact Fee calculations,
conservatively, is:
Park Type
Acreage (Useable)
Citywide Parks
361
Waterfront Parks
282 (558+61-337)
117
Parks Less than 3 Acres
Total Current Useable
760 Acres
Year Round Population
386,127 People
Revised Level of Service
2.0 Acres per 1,000 People
* See Attachment A for detailed calculations
Page 1
5e1/m.14i- 3
SUBMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC RECORD FOR
°TEM ON 11-1v-65-
,
y,\e Flo
The Level of Service calculated above is somewhat above the Acceptable LOS of the
MCNP and would result in the following Park Impact Fee Schedule:
Net Capital Cost Per Person
$4,739
Maximum Supportable Fee
Per Housing Unit
Parks and Recreation
Impact Fee
210 Single Family Detached
$13,790
230 Low Rise
$12,132
220 High Rise
$ 8,009
* See Attachment A for detailed calculations.
This cost, which will be passed through to the sale price of the incremental unit, is a
reasonable cost for incremental parks, satisfies the City's minimal LOS in the MCNP and is
still significantly BELOW the current, ACTUAL LOS of 3.1 acres per 1,000.
MNU has investigated with other cities and consultants to verify that the above calculation
is common practice and defensible. Sec. 13-12 of the City Code should be modified to
incorporate the above. Sec. 13.25 will also have to be modified.
3. We also request that Sec. 13-6(c) be modified such that building permits for any DRI for
which a development order has been issued be obtained within 6 months (instead of 15
months) to be grandfathered.
4. There is no allocation of Park Impact Fees to Non-residential developments. Parks must
be available for employees near their place of employment for use during breaks and
overall quality of life. Given the current and planned efforts of the City to create mixed -use
neighborhoods, it would be appropriate to include a park Impact Fee for non-residential
developments. The commissioners are well aware that successful cities throughout the
United States provide for such parks for daytime use by employees.
5. MNU also believes that the Land Acquisition Cost per Square Foot for parks of $50
(TischlerBise page 11) is not representative of the cost of acquisition of appropriately
located land. We request that a methodology of current market values by area within the
city be established for the Annual Reviews and modification per Sec. 13-13(f), in time for
the first Annual Review and modification.

Hadley C. Williams
