GROVE E STATES
4055 DOUGLASS ROAD
08-07-2007
The following comments represent the unified vision of the Pre -Application Design Review Committee, which
consist of all staff members in the Urban Design and Land Development Divisions.
COMMENTS:
The following comments are being made in an effort to develop projects to their highest potential and make a
significant contribution to improving the quality of our built environment with great architecture and urban
design.
As a result of the site meeting held on Thursday, August 2, 2007, and the Internal Design Review Committee
meeting on Tuesday August 7, 2007, the following observations and recommendations are made:
Site and Urban Design
• This site is located within an Environmental Preservation District (EPD), as well as along a Scenic
Transportation Corridor, and the development will be subject to approval by the Historic and
Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB). It is critical to consider the existing landscape within the
design and incorporate the proposed roadways and buildings into the landscape in a manner which
saves as many of the existing trees as possible. Consider the effect of the proposed road placement
on the existing trees to remain on the site,
• The committee appreciates the efforts to address the Douglas Road Frontage with multiple layers of
plant material and has found the solution to be successful.
• There is concern with the current placement of the road and the adverse affects it will have on the
majority of the existing trees and palms. This placement requires the removal of several large
specimen trees, such as Royal Poinciana and African Tulip trees.
• In addition, roadway construction will severely harm existing trees that are proposed to remain. The
committee fords that the road's location is too close to the base of these existing tree trunks and root
systems which will injure the trees by excessive compaction.
• The proposed placement of the road will also severely alter the natural site drainage and
depressions occurring around the existing trees.
• Due to the negative impact on the existing trees and palms, the committee finds that the proposed
roadway should be constructed along the northern perimeter of the site. This will serve to minimize
the overall impact on the natural features, natural site drainage, and existing groupings of trees. With
the addition of a landscape buffer between this proposal and the Kampong property, the placement
of the road will have minimal impact on the existing site conditions.
• Please collaborate with a certified Arborist or Horticulturist, in order to identify unknown tree species
listed.
• The committee recommends for the back yards of future home sites to abut the back yards of existing
homes to the south, in lieu of a roadway.
• Consider alternate turn around solutions for the cul-de-sac that will minimize the effect of the
roadway on future home sites.
It is our intention with these comments to aid in expediting Special Permit applications with your
voluntary efforts in making the necessary changes; thereby, avoiding any preventable delays
particularly prior to a project's submission to the Large Scale Development Committee or the
Urban Development Review Board.

Large Scale Development Review -
Grove Estates
The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for
the development located at 4055 Douglas Road and has the following comments.
1. Since this project is presented a "Planned Unit Development", replatting
of the property is not required in order to obtain building permits.
2. The existing rock wall along Douglas Road shall be preserved and remain
privately owned and maintained. Additional dedication of roadway right
of way will only be required up to the face of the existing rock wall
(Approximately 5 feet according to City records).
3. An agreement between the City of Miami and the property owner is
required for any landscaping located in the public right of way. Public
Works approval and permit is required for any landscaping improvements
in the right of way.
4. Public Works policy requires that no closures of vehicular travel lanes will
be permitted during the course of construction unless a temporary
replacement lane, approved by the Public Works Department, is
constructed and maintained by the Contractor throughout the duration of
the lane closure. A maintenance of traffic plan is required for any
temporary right of way closure request.
5. In order to mitigate traffic congestion and problems associated with
unregulated parking throughout the neighborhood, the
Contractor/Developer shall be required to provide approved, designated
off -site parking for workers and a shuttle service to the work site. The
parking/shuttle plan, if necessary, shall be coordinated with the local City
of Miami NET Service Center.
6. Since this project is 5.02 acres in total construction area, the methods of
construction must comply with the City of Miami Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer Permit (MS4). This project will require a Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment
permit. For information on a DEP permit application, please contact our
department online at www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes or
(305) 416 -1200.

possible. Repair any damaged sections of the bicycle path adjacent to the project site,
Bulkhead: Reconstruct the buldkhead along Biscayne Bay adjacent to the project site to
conform to Miami -Dade County flood control criteria, including elevation.
In addition, pavement restoration for all water and sewer extensions, existing damaged
pavement and pavement damaged during construction, as determined by the City
inspector, shall include milling and resurfacing of the full pavement width along the
entire length of the excavation and/or damaged pavement area. The streets and
avenues adjacent to the project site must be clear of dust and construction debris at all
times.

RE: Airspace and Land Use Analysis for the Grove Estates Project Located at 4055
Douglas Road
Dear Ms. Gelabert-Sanchez:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed the submittal for an airspace
and land use analysis for the above referenced project.
Airspace Review:
Based on our cursory review of the project information provided to us, an assumed project
height of less than 40 feet AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) does not meet our review criteria
for its location and will not require a Height Analysis or Letter of Determination from this
Department.
However, any construction cranes for this project reaching or exceeding 200 ft AMSL
(Above Mean Sea Level) must be filed by the construction contractor using FAA Form
7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. The form is available through this

Please note that the airspace review process is governed by two different regulations: the
Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinances and Federal Regulation Title 14 Part 77.
The FAA has its own airspace evaluation requirements, and issues airspace determinations
for structures and cranes based on the particular facts then presented before the FAA. The
County's Aviation Department or the applicable municipal building official determines
whether the County's height limitations are met, and FAA determines whether FAA building,
marking and height requirements are met.
