Project) to be Located at 3400 Grand Avenue, Miami, Florida
Dear Ms. Gelabert-Sanchez:
miamidade.gov
Based upon our cursory review of the project information provided to us, a maximum
project height of approximately 70 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) at the referenced
location conforms to the Zoning Ordinance for Miami International Airport.
This height determination is an estimate issued on a preliminary or advisory basis.
Please note that as a preliminary height determination it does not constitute approval by
MDAD for construction until coordination and a "No -Hazard" determination from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is obtained. Please note, any proposed
construction at this location reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL (Above Mean Sea
Level) is required to be filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) using Form
7460-1 `Notice of Proposed Construction Alteration for Determination of Known
Hazards'. In addition, any construction cranes for this project at this location reaching or
exceeding 200 feet AivISL must be filed by the construction contractor using the same
form. Thus, for any structure or crane reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL, FAA form
7460-1 must be filed. The form is available through this office or through the FAA

ENCLOSURES:
The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the
mixed use complex entitled Grove Village located along Grand Avenue between
Margaret Street and Plaza Street and has the following comments.
General Comments
1. If this project is intended to be developed in phases, no temporary certificate of
occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO) will be issued until all of the
required roadway improvements adjacent to that phase of the project are completed.
2. All transitions from the established street profile grade to the building flood
elevation must be accomplished on private property. Stairs, ramps, retaining walls,
etc. will not be permitted in the public right of way and the record profile street
grade can not be changed to accommodate the proposed building ground floor
elevation.
3. All stormwater must be retained on site including the driveways and plazas on
private property adjacent to the public streets. All plazas and driveways must be graded or
trench drains provided to prevent "sheet flow" entering the right of way. If deep drainage
wells are selected for stormwater disposal, they must be located on -site in an open area to
accommodate future maintenance access.
4. An agreement between the City of Miami and the property owner is required for any
landscaping and decorative sidewalk treatment located in the public right of way. Public
Works approval and permit is required for any landscaping improvements in the right of
way.
5. Standard parking spaces are 8.5 feet wide and 18 feet long and require a 23 foot back-up
distance. A Special Class II permit is required to reduce the back-up distance.
6. 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.
7. Changes to the street cross section/ horizontal / vertical alignment shall not be permitted on
Grand Avenue.
8. New trees, and shrubs are not permitted within corner and driveway visibility triangles
including their extension into the public right of way (see Public Works Standard Detail Misc.
35-85-109A).
9. 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 shall be coordinated with the local City of Miami NET Service Center.
The magnitude of construction of the Grove Village project, including transport of vast
quantities of excavation materials, will be a major disruption in the residential community
abutting the project and the narrow transportation routes to the construction site. Special
attention shall be given to coordination of construction activities.
10. All greenspace and landscaping required by the Zoning Ordinance must be accommodated on
private property. Greenspace and landscaping within the public right of way cannot be included
in the calculations for meeting greenspace zoning requirements.
11. City of Miami driveway entrances, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, shall be required.
Continuous sidewalk is required across the driveway entrances. Approval must be obtained
from the Public Works Director for driveways exceeding 40 feet in width.
12. Since this project is more than one acre 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 the
Public Works Department at (305) 416-1200 or www.dep.state.fl.us./water/stormwater/npdes.
13. Approval from the City's Off -Street Parking Department must be obtained for valet
parking and/or loading zones on Grand Avenue. A "Valet Parking Zone" permit
shall be required.
14. The cross section dimensions of the existing streets and avenues shall not be
altered. Separate approval must be obtained from the Director of Public Works for
any changes to the existing street elements including the elimination, extension
and/or addition of street planters, modifications to on -street parking spaces, cross-
walks, etc.

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.
On September 29, 2008 was the last comments generated concerning this proposal by the
Internal Design Review Committee. This document represents the most recent review of the
proposed Grove Village project by this Committee. The following comments reflect the
committee's commitment to developing a pedestrian friendly City with developments that
respond to and are sensitive to the City's and immediate community's urban, cultural and
architectural environment.
Zoning:
1. Paradise Island Block
• Since 11000 Zoning Code does not apply anymore (replaced by Miami 21), there is
no way or a mechanism under that old code to increase the maximum height of a
SD-2 zoning district from 62' to 82'. Therefore, the proposed development for the
Paradise Island block must meet the maximum allowed height of 62'.
2. On all Six (6) Blocks (Freeport, Nassau, Grand Bahama, Bimini, Paradise Island and
Abaco)
• The zoning legend of each block independently as well as the zoning legend or
summary sheet of the whole project (6 blocks), must be revised to include
breakdown of F.A.R. for retail, office, residential, and hotel uses (base & alternate
developments).
• Update the Grove Village proposed Mixed Use Development Program (sent it via e-
mail to applicant), to clearly differentiate the "base" developments from the
"alternate" developments. This chart will be an attachment to the zoning MUSP write-
up.
Planning:
General Comments:
3. Project needs to abide by all of the underlying zoning designations: SD-2, SD-28, and
NCD-2.
4. Please ensure that the overall Grove Village package represents all originally proposed
elements and all newly proposed changes: overall site plan and individual blocks site
plans, overall zoning calculations and individual blocks zoning calculations, overall
landscape plan, calculations and individual blocks landscape plans and calculations.

5. Provide a narrative explaining the objective of the proposed changes and the way they
match with the current neighborhood conservation district designation, specifically how
they achieve the objective of the project with the change of the small sized stores with
the big boxes proposed. Does the proposed change from small box commercial
elements to big box comercial elements reflective of the SD-28 intent?
6. Provide a Conceptual Plans explaining how the project is going to work as a whole with
the proposed changes, considering: vehicular circulation, pedestrian circulation, points of
conflict and mitigation measures, interrelation/connectivity between open spaces and
parks within the project, height transition within the project structures, and between the
project with surrounding areas, as well as parking required and provided per block and
how it works as a whole.
7. All of the exposed parking garages need additional details on the "decorative screens." It
is important that screening details are clearly articulated for each proposed garage and
that the detailing is achieved within the final product for each proposed garage. With this
in mind, the proposed garages should provide details on the opening sizes, depth of
screen, and the screen should be flush with the interior wall so that there is a window
depth between the wall and screen. It is suggested that the screen should be very tight
spacing or 3' depth to block the interior lighting.
8. Please identify the unidentified/blank areas.
9. Please provide complete landscape plans for each block. The presentation of the
landscape plans should promote continuity and connectivity between each block, which
also must provide significant buffering from the single family residences adjacent to the
project. Propose small open pocket parks for the front setback areas along Florida
Avenue that will remain should also possess heavy landscaping features to mitigate the
project impact on the adjacent properties. Please consult the City of Miami Landscape
Ordinance concerning appropriate landscape legend, species, street trees, and tree
mitigation at
http://www.miamigov.com/Planning/pages/Landscape ordinance/Landscape.asp.
10. Provide a tree survey and a tree disposition plan showing existing trees locations within
the property. Refer to the Miami City Code Chapter 17: Tree Protection requirements, in
order to determine the tree replacement requirements and how this will be
accommodated. That is, the accommodation will occur on -site, off -site, or as a
contribution to the tree trust fund.
11. A Future Land Use change was recently adopted by City Commission on October 28,
2010 (08-001661u1, 06-0011661u2, 08-001661u3, 08-001661u4 and 08-001661u5). The
intent of this adoption was to provide a transition layer within each parcel along the
backsides of the "Grove Village" project (along Florida Avenue for the Nassau and
Grand Bahama developments and along Thomas Avenue for the Abaco development)
to protect the abutting signal family residents from the adverse impacts of
commercial uses and low-rise and mid -rise mixed use developments. It is important
that ALL new Grove Village site designs consider the principle of the FLUM amendment
recently adopted for this area (See attached document). The following Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Policies also support the protection of
existing neighborhoods:
2 of 6
12. Future Land Use Element
Policy LU-1.6.9: The City's land development regulations will establish mechanisms to
mitigate the potentially adverse impacts of new development on existing neighborhoods
through the development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements.
13. Housing Element
Policy HO-1.1.7: The City will continue to control, through restrictions in the City's land
development regulations, large scale and/or intensive commercial and industrial land
development which may negatively impact any residential neighborhood and will provide
appropriate transitions between high-rise and low-rise residential developments. Policy
HO-1.1.8: Through the land development regulations, the City will protect existing viable
neighborhoods in those areas suitable for housing and, where appropriate, enhance
them in a manner compatible with their existing character.
14. Please note that your proposal is located within the SD-28, which denotes that the
architectural design and color scheme should be indicative of a Caribbean style and
culture. The proposal of tall and mass buildings tends to move away for the origin of
Caribbean style.
15. Provide color elevations with materials clearly noted for all blocks blown -up to 1/4". Color
elevations should be provided for all proposed facades from a pedestrian scale point of
view. Extend the palate of facade materials vertically to expand some stone veneers to
further differentiate the architecture and articulate the buildings. Provide material
samples or photograph of proposed materials.
16. Show street improvements and ground level pedestrian views of each building along
Grand Avenue.
BLOCK 1: FREEPORT: No proposed changes.
17. Please provide zoning legend and calculations and landscape legend and calculations.
18. All color elevations shall be included, as well as material details and precedent photos
and samples, especially for the garage screening elements. Provide also blow-up 1/4"
color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view.
BLOCK 2: NASSAU: By comparing both submittals it is evident that, in most of the cases, the
requested Caribbean character and human scale have been lost. There are several elements
that contribute to those unfortunate results:
19. The Retail area concept has changed from multiple small scale retail units to one big
unit. This big scale does not respond to the character of the neighborhood as it happens
with the small scale criteria associated with the SD-28 Caribbean style and character.
20. The set -back from the building's facade to Grand Avenue changed from 15'-6 to 5', and
the colonnade has been eliminated. Shade trees are not shown neither is there enough
space to locate them.
3 of 6
21. The expression of the changes is evident on the facades' design. The North Elevation
facing Grand Avenue reads as a continuous 490' building, as opposed to the original
submittal that showed two articulated buildings separated by an 84' green open space.
The South elevation has the same issue. East and west elevations were not provided.
22. All color elevations shall be included, as well as material details and precedent photos
and samples, especially for the garage screening elements. Provide also blow-up 1/4"
color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view.
23. Four floors of non -lined parking facing Grand Avenue contribute to the massiveness and
non -human scale of the image exposed to one of the most significant streets of the
neighborhood. Parking reads as the main function of the building in a neighborhood
where a pedestrian oriented urban development is recommended. Parking on the
rooftop also needs to be screened.
24. Surfer parking facing Florida Avenue should provide a larger landscape buffer area of at
least 15 feet containing dimension layer of landscape features.
25. Transition of the block with the surrounding neighborhood should be demonstrated
within the proposal.
BLOCK 3: GRAND BAHAMA: The one massive building occupying the lot, instead of the
softer human -scaled group of elements articulated with open green spaces originally proposed.
This architectural demonstration is not conducive the SD-28 intend illustrated in the Caribbean
style of the area and intent of the Special District.
26. The expression of the changes is evident on the facades' design. Although the South
Elevation facing Grand Avenue has a better design, it reads as a continuous 460'Iong,
62' high building, as opposed to the original submittal that showed two articulated five
story buildings separated by an 83' green open space with a slight 2 story background;
definitely a more appropriate approach to this neighborhood's character.
27. The North facade shall be articulated. The central portion shows big blank walls and non
lined garage openings. The plan does not show the existing residences facing Florida
Avenue.
28. All elevations shall be colored. Material details and precedent photos and samples,
especially for the garage screening elements, shall be provided.
29. Blow-up 1/4" color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view are to be
provided, as well as all requested Landscape plans.
30. All the areas in the site plan shall be identified and labeled.
31. The proposed service areas and access elements need to be buffered from the existing
residences.
4 of 6
BLOCK 4: BIMINI
32. All dimensions must be expressed on the plans.
33. The pedestrian activity is constantly interrupted by vehicular curb -cuts, two facing
Hibiscus street and three 53' wide on Thomas Avenue, in addition to another vehicular
access on Plaza Street.
34. All elevations shall be colored. Material details and precedent photos and samples,
especially for the garage screening elements, shall be provided.
35. Blow-up 1/4" color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view are to be
provided, as well as all requested Landscape plans.
36. Provide more detail of the loading area.
37. The curb cut on Hibiscus is not allowed.
38. Plans express future townhomes south of the property. In the event the proposed
townhomes are not constructed, what is the proposal to treat the exposed blank walls in
that area?
BLOCK 5: PARADISE ISLAND: Two alternatives have been submitted for approval.
ALTERNATIVE: The first alternative occupies less area but increases the high to eight
stories. From an Urban Design stand point, it is evident that this solution generates a
negative impact in the neighborhood:
39. A continuous 82' high 393' long building facing Grand Avenue does not respond to the
character of the neighborhood neither it does with the Bahamian style that this particular
zone requires. Height and massiveness are opposites of a Caribbean style. All four
facades have the same issue.
40. All elevations shall be colored. Material details and precedent photos and samples,
especially for the garage screening elements, shall be provided.
41. Blow-up 1/4" color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view are to be
provided, as well as all requested Landscape plans.
ALTERNATIVE 2: The second alternative is developed within approximately the same
area as the original Max Strang submittal.
42. Articulate the four facades and create openings and. Variation in height and bulk would
give the building a genuine Bahamian character, which cannot be achieved with small
details only. Again the bulk and scale of the block does not respond to the character of
the neighborhood.
5 of 6
43. The pedestrian activity on the south side of the block facing Florida Avenue is affected
by three vehicular curb -cuts that, although the dimensions are not shown, seem to be
significant. The facade shows three garage gates at the ground level, affecting the
pedestrian view from the sidewalk.
44. All dimensions shall be shown on the plans.
45. All elevations shall be colored. Material details and precedent photos and samples,
especially for the garage screening elements, shall be provided.
46. Blow-up 1/4" color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view are to be
provided, as well as all requested Landscape plans.
BLOCK 6: ABACO: No changes from 2008 submittal.
47. Please provide zoning legend and calculations and landscape legend and calculations.
48. All color elevations shall be included, as well as material details and precedent photos
and samples, especially for the garage screening elements. Provide also blow-up 1/4"
color elevations or renderings from the pedestrian point of view.
Additional comments will be provided upon review of a more detailed submittal. Consequently,
the City of Miami reserves the right to comment further on the project as details and/or
explanations are provided and may revise previous comments based on this additional
information.
Upon your review of internal Design Review Committee comments, the committee would like to
set a date wherein the full proposal can be presented to the members. You may contact me at
305.416.1466 with any questions and to arrange a meeting date and time.
Thank you for your consideration regarding this matter.

Reasons of Denial:
• The project does not respond to the Caribbean character envisioned for the neighborhood
due to the massiveness, elimination of design elements from the original MUSP,
unarticulated facades, lack of color and variety, lack of a human scale, uniformity in the use
of materials, and others. In order to help resolve these issues the applicant shall incorporate
the following :
- Include the arcade removed from the original MUSP. The retail area has been increased
in lieu of the colonnade.
- Articulate the facades vertically and horizontally. Differences in height and volume shall
be applied in order to diminish the massiveness and obtain more of a human scale.
- Use variety in color as a component to break up the massiveness of the facades as well as
to obtain a Caribbean character.
- Use a variety of materials instead of stone only at the ground floor, to enrich the
pedestrian experience. Different textures and colors are recommended.
e Provide liners to the garage facade fronting Grand Avenue and Elizabeth Street.
• The connectors from garages to office areas shall be more open.
• The surface parking on the North facade facing Florida Avenue and abutting two single
family residences shall be removed.
