David Freedman joined the firm in 2005 as a partner, after
having practiced as head of litigation for the state-wide firm of
Broad & Cassel in Miami. Mr. Freedman, a Miami native, has
37 years of extensive experience in state and federal trial and
appellate courts, handling complex commercial litigation,
including class and multi -district litigation, property rights,
business torts, land use regulation, anti-trust, ADA, eminent
domain, banking, Uniform Commercial Code, and securities
regulation.
Mr. Freedman represented the plaintiff in the landmark case
of Gould v. City of Coral Gables, which spanned six years in
state and federal trial and appellate courts, resulting in the
largest reported plaintiff's judgment against a governmental
entity for misuse of local zoning power. He represented the
only successful defendant in a massive suit instituted by the
Venezuelan government against financier Juan Vicente Perez
Sandoval, charged with looting a Venezuelan bank in
connection with the sale of an oil drilling operation in Lake
Maracaibo. Mr. Freedman also was plaintiff's counsel in the
successful prosecution of a nationwide class action
representing physicians as investors in a cattle herd tax
shelter, was on the defense team in the multidistrict litigation
of SEC v. Glenn W. Turner Enterprises, and has litigated a
wide variety of other matters that cut cross the spectrum of
complex commercial litigation.

Dear Jan,
This letter is to introduce you to Gary Appel, from Miami, who has been so instrumental
in the development of our historical resources in Miami Beach. Gary has been working with us
and the City of Miami Beach for the past few years and has helped to bring hundreds of new
resources into new historic districts. He is, as well, on the City of Miami's Architectural Review
Board and a member of the board of the Miami Design Preservation League. He has also been a
good friend for a number of years.
He will no doubt be dealing with the Park Service in ever-increasing amounts in the
future arid, I trust, with your good offices. I expect that you are settling in and enjoying the
benefits of Washington's cultufal scene and people. Please keep in touch as your time permits.

SPECIAL COMPETENCE
Professional concentration in representing both commercial real estate
developers and inward -bound investors in Florida commercial real estate.
This representation has frequently started with the initial property
acquisition, obtaining entitlements and development rights, the legal
aspects of obtaining financing, and representation of the owner in
landlord/tenant matters, construction and lien law matters. This makes
me well -versed in all aspects of the legal framework for, and constraints
on, development and its municipal regulation. Additional practice focus
on achieving historic designation, advocacy for protection of historic
sites and Landmarks, and creation of historic preservation legislation.
Professional concentration in representing both international and purely
domestic banks in starting and growing their businesses in Miami. In
addition to a transactional practice with these banks, I have served as
a Director of two national banks, General Counsel to a national bank and
a member of the Audit Committees of two banks. This makes me well -versed
in understanding market and regulatory compliance considerations on banks
which finance businesses in the South Florida market.

Projects Related to Historic Preservation
The City of Miami is home to 2 National Historic Landmarks.
National Historic Landmark status is the highest designation,
awarded on a national level by the US Park Service, to sites which
are important to the history of this country. Vizcaya Museum and
Gardens is one of these National Historic Landmarks.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens fronts on Biscayne Bay and is a 5 minute
drive from Downtown Miami. Because of this, the neighborhood
surrounding Vizcaya has been in high demand for redevelopment.
When new development occurs close to Vizcaya, there is the
possibility that the new development will impact the Vizcaya
National Historic Landmark and the visitors' experience at Vizcaya
in a negative way.
My involvement as a lawyer in defeating one such proposed new
development which threatened the Vizcaya National Historic
Landmark, caused me to consider whether there could be a proactive
protection given to National Historic Landmarks in Miami's Code.
Such protection would not adversely affect private property rights
and would also put proposed developers on notice, before they
designed their projects, of the special considerations required
when developing near a National Historic Landmark.
This evaluation led me to propose View Corridor protection for
National Historic Landmarks, which came to be codified as part of
Miami 21. Not only is Miami's View Corridor legislation protecting
the National Historic Landmarks unique to Miami, there is nothing
comparable in Florida.
This new View Corridor Protection legislation puts Miami on par
with other cities which protect their heritage sites and National
Historic Landmarks. Having protected the View Corridors of and
from its National Historic Landmarks makes Miami a leader in
developing creative solutions for Historic Preservation within the
City.

On behalf of The Vizcayans, Inc., the private sector support organization for Vizcaya
Museum and Gardens located within the City of Miami ("Vizcaya"), we are pleased to support the
nomination by Commissioner Willy Gort of Lynn B. Lewis, Esq., to the City's Historic
Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB).
Since 2007, Ms. Lewis has represented our organization in sensitive and complex matters
related to preservation of Vizcaya, a National Historic Landmark and a designated Historic Site
under the City's historic preservation program. During this representation, at all times, Ms. Lewis
has been thorough, tenacious, creative and successful in advancing our organization's mission to
protect and preserve Vizcaya for the enjoyment of present and future generations, consistent with
the City's policies in the historic preservation area. At each step along the way, she has worked
collegially and productively with your City staff.
If appointed by you, we are confident that Ms. Lewis will serve with distinction on the
HEPB and advance the Commission's mission for the preservation of historic and environmentally -
sensitive sites with the City. We are also confident that she will bring to this assignment the same
tenacity, creativity and drive for success that she has consistently demonstrated in representing our
organization before the City. Her legal skills, considerable knowledge of the City's land use and
zoning, and historic preservation legislation, as well as her stature with other historic preservation
organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will make a very positive
contribution to the work of the HEPB.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we may provide further information in support of Ms.
Lewis' appointment as Commissioner Gort's designee to the HEPB.
Indicates Past President Sincerely yours,
Donald A. Kress

Attn: City of Miami Historic & Environmental Preservation Board
I have just finished my first term on the City of Miami Historic and
Environmental Preservation Board and would like to re -submit my
application to continue on the board for another term.
As a practicing Architect, my experience includes renovation and
remodeling of commercial buildings in Historic Districts. Commercial
buildings present a challenge in that the uses of the same building can vary
from retail to office while each new use presents its own requirements and
restrictions. Design solutions are needed that are sympathetic to the original
character while allowing a different and varied program from the original
design.
My experience with residential projects includes new infill,
remodeling and additions to contributing homes in historic districts. I have
also worked on the historical designation of a single family home. While
appreciating the character of the historic district, there is a responsibility to
create an addition that blends in without being mistaken for the original.
The balance created between the old and new should be complimentary and
emphasize the significant features of the residence.
In all projects there is an aspect beyond the built structure and it
includes the natural and living environment. These natural elements are too
often ignored or discarded and I believe we should be conscious of our entire
environment. Preservation of the built and natural environments shoulil Lk
hand in hand.

I appreciate your consideration of my resume for another ternivn t1
HEPB and look forward to your response.
