Subject: Resolution Authorizing Expenditure of Funds
and Grant for Construction of Temporary
Parking
Enclosures: Supporting Documentation; Legislation
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") deallocates $155,000 previously authorized by Resolution No. CRA-R-11-0037
for a construction agreement with Clark Construction USA, LLC. The Resolution also authorizes the
expenditure of funds, in an amount not to exceed $60,000, for the construction of temporary parking at 276 NW
9th Street, Miami, Florida to complement Carver Apartments and Shoppes development ("Carver Development").
Lastly, the Resolution authorizes a grant, in an amount not to exceed $60,000, to the International
Longshoremen's Association ("ILA") for the construction of temporary parking at 832 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami,
Florida.
The Carver Development, a mixed use development on NW 314 Avenue and NW 8th Street, is currently under
construction and is anticipated to be complete near the end of 2013. The ILA's Hall is located at NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 8th Street, and is identified in the 2009 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment
Plan, at page 90, as being historically significant.
The parking needs for the Carver Development and the ILA are not met by the current parking inventory in the
area. While the CRA is in the process of negotiating the development of off-street parking facilities in nearby
larger developments, construction on said developments has not yet commenced.
JUSTIFICATION:
Section III, subsection 3, at page 89 of the 2009 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment
Plan identifies the need for the CRA to facilitate the increase of parking supply throughout the Redevelopment
Area.

$60,000 are to be allocated from SEOPW Tax Increment Fund, "Construction in Progress" Account Code No.
