Bolanos, Chair Dr. Robert 8. Ingram. Vice Chair Agustin J. Barrera Evelyn Langiieb Greer Perla Tabares Hantman Dr. Martin Karp Ana Rivas Logan Or. Marta Perez Dr. Solomon C. Stinson Clt ry Pursuant to the state mandated and School Board approved Interlocal Agre rnee (Interlocal), local government, the development community and the School Board are to collaborate on options to address the impact of proposed development on public schools where the proposed residential development would result in an increase in the school's Florida inventory School Houses (FISH) capacity utilization (permanent and relocatabie), in excess of 115%. Enclosed please find the School District's review analysis of potential impact generated by the above referenced application. Please note that one impacted school facility meets the referenced review threshold. The proposed residential development will impact Eneida M. Hartner Elementary school currently operating at 115% of FISH percent utilization. However, utilizing the County's Census figures, the proposed residential development will increase the FISH% utilization of Eneida M. Hartner to 116%. As such, it is our recommendation that dialogue between the School District, the City and the above referenced applicant take place as it relates specifically to a public school in the affected area that meets the threshold. In an effort to meet the terms of the Interlocal, please send an email to morozco@facil.dade.k12.fl.us to schedule a dialogue meeting with District staff. Pursuant to the recently approved 5-year work plan, please note the enclosed analysis depicts the various relief schools planned in the area. Also, enclosed is a list of approved Charter School Facilities, which may provide relief on a countywide basis, as well as a report depicting previously approved and proposed applications in the area. 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 School Board Administration Building • 1450 N.E. 2„d Avenue, Suite 525 • Miami, Florida 33132 305-995-7285 • FAX 305-995-4760 • arijo@dadeschools.net • • • VISTA BISCAYNE — 452 NE 29TH STREET January 5, 2005 Page 2 As an example, assuming the proposed unit is 2,000 square feet, the 40-unit development is estimated to generate approximately $97,920 ($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 of Miami on public schools that will likely serve the proposed development and meet the referenced threshold. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Please call me should you have any questions at (305) 995-7287.
