The subject project is a mixed used development with 260 welling units of High -Rise Residential Condo / Townhouse, 75,000 square feet of General Office and 25,000 square feet of Specialty Retail. The existing use was not analyzed nor have the existing trips been reduced from the future proposed development. The Trip Generation calculations of this project revealed there will be 66 net vehicles per hour (vph) entering and 99 vph exiting during the PM peak hour. The subject project is located in TAZ 1080 and has had the traffic assigned to the surrounding roadway and transit system using the MUATS Cardinal distribution. Link and intersection traffic counts were collected, averaged and adjusted for seasonal variations and used in the link analysis and intersection analysis. This analysis was performed for the existing condition, background, committed and background and with the cumulative effects of the above and the project traffic. Although Bird Road had an LOS F for the Roadway Mode, the corridor person trip analysis indicated an LOS B. Additionally, Douglas Road also resulted in a LOS B for all scenarios. RICHARD GARCIA & ASSOCIATES, INC. ►v • • • Bird Road MUSP Traffic Impact Study The Bird Road segment analysis resulted in an LOS F condition for the roadway mode for all the scenarios. However, since sufficient transit capacity exists within this project, the resulting segment person -trip analysis was LOS B. Moreover, since the subject area was modeled in Synchro, an arterial analysis of Bird Road was performed for the proposed condition and the results yielded an LOS D in the eastbound direction while the westbound resulted in an LOS E. The intersection analysis revealed the following results: Table is intersection Level of Service Summary lritersectof Level t f Servic Intersection Bird Road & SW 38th Ave Bird Road & SW 37th Court Peacock Ave & SW 38th Ave. Peacock Ave & SW 37th Ct.

Vi • • Bird Road MUSP Traffic Impact Studv 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this study is to evaluate the associated traffic impacts with the proposed re -development of the site located at 3760 Bird Road in the City of Miami. This report follows the methodology for a Major Use Special Permits (MUSP) utilized in the City of Miami. The traffic impacts to the adjacent roadways were evaluated as well as the intersections at all four corners of the site. Additionally, the site driveway was also analyzed. These intersections were the most affected by this project. This analysis was performed for the existing and proposed conditions during the PM Peak Hour. This report follows the methodologies adopted by the City of Miami's Person -Trip Analysis and conforms to the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation, and Traffic Impact Studies Manual. Lastly, this report has evaluated the following: Trip Generation • Traffic Distribution • Traffic Assignment • Traffic Counts: ATR & TMC • Existing Level of Service Proposed Level of Service • Existing Intersection LOS • Proposed Intersection LOS Recommendations RICHARD GARCIA & ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 • • Bird Road MUSP Traffic Impact Study 2.0 Project Description / Location The subject project it is located on the south side of Bird Road (SW 40th Street / SR 976) just west of Douglas Road (SW 37th Avenue) between SW 37th Court and SW 38th Avenue. Additionally, it is located between Peacock Avenue to the south and Bird Road to the north. The following land use, as identified by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), most closely resembles the proposed development. These land uses are as follows: • Land Use 232: High-rise Residential Condo w1260 DU (Dwelling Units) • Land Use 710: General Office w175,000 square feet • Land Use 814: Specialty Retail w125,000 square feet Site access is provided via tow driveways, one on SW 37th Court and the other on Peacock Avenue with the latter being used for loading.

ITE's Land Use (LU) 232: High - Rise Residential Condominium, LU 710: General Office and LU 814: Specialty Retail was used to determine the trip generation rates for the proposed development. Traffic Impact Study The Trip Generation calculations results of the proposed development are summarized below. The FTE rates and percentages for PM Peak Hour Trips are included in Corresponding tab. Table 1 below summarizes the greatest traffic impact associated with the subject development, which occurs during the PM peak. This report did not deduct the existing traffic from the future trip generation results. RC] Lastly, the trip generation was converted to net vehicle trip by utilizing the City's Person Trip Methodology. This methodology uses 16% vehicle occupancy and a 14.9% transit reduction factors. Lastly, a 10% pedestrian and bicycle trip reduction was used. These factors are consistent with the values used in the City's DRI - Increment II for the Omni Area. Additionally, no deduction was taken for internalization. As such, this is a very conservative analysis.

The existing PM Peak hour condition has a 140 second cycle length. The PM Peak hour Signal Operating Plan (SOP) consists of a three-phase operation. The first phase provides for a westbound left and through lead. This phase gives priority to the heaviest movement during the PM peak. This phase has 12 seconds of green indication followed by 3 seconds of yellow. The second phase is the East-West through movement which allows permissive left turns. This phase has 91 seconds of green indication followed by 4 seconds of yellow and 1 second of red. The final phase provides for a north -south through with permissive left turns. This phase has 25 seconds of green indication followed by 4 seconds of yellow. This is further documented in the Timing/Factors tab as Asset ID 2367.

The Capacity, Safety and other Improvements map in addition to the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resurfacing (RRR) Improvements map was evaluated for improvements within a three year horizon. The only project listed for the analyzed roadways was Financial Management (FM) Number 4180931 as a resurfacing project slated for 2009. Since this is both outside the build -out horizon of 2008 and a resurfacing project, the proposed conditions were based on the existing roadway geometry. RICHARD GARCIA & ASSOCIATES, INC. 17 Bird Road MUSP Traffic Impact Study 10.0 Committed Developments At the request of the City of Miami's Traffic Engineer, the planning department was contacted with a list of committed developments taken from the August 2005 City of Miami Large Scale Development Report: 1995-Present.

This methodology has been utilized in the City's Development of Regional Impact (DRI) - Increment II and has been accepted by both the FDOT and the South Florida Regional Planning Council. Lastly, this methodology is further detailed in the City's document: Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami. The results of the corridor analysis reveal that all levels of service thresholds will be above a LOS E standard. The Bird Road segment analysis resulted in an LOS F condition for the roadway mode for all the scenarios. However, since sufficient transit capacity exists within this project, the resulting segment person -trip analysis was LOS B. Moreover, since the subject area was modeled in Synchro, an arterial analysis of Bird Road was performed for the proposed condition and the results yielded an LOS D in the eastbound direction while the westbound resulted in an LOS E.
