The Workshops identified 49 issues brought up by neighbors on the following topics: Traffic 7 Access 3 Shadows 2 TOTAL 49 Use 7 Benefits 3 Boats 1 Parking 6 Noise 3 School 1 Road 5 Security 3 Screen 1 Views 4 Fish Market 2 Site 1 • NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH PUBLIC ACCESS & AMENITY (see "BENEFITS PROVIDED BY FLAGSTONE") • AMENITY GUARANTEES The Lease, and all pending land use approvals require that the property be developed in compliance with the site plan approved under the MUSP process. All of the site plans clearly include the Public Amenities. The Lease incorporates by referencing Flagstone's proposal submitted in response to the RFP. That proposal clearly outlines all public amenities to be provided by Flagstone. • FISH MARKET ACCESS IS RESTRICTED In fact, Fish Market is accessible to the project, and to residents as well. • INAPPROPRIATE USE OF LAND Consistent with Master Plan passed Jan. 25, 1996 which was adopted unanimously by PAB on 01-17-96 subsequent to Public Hearing (PAB 2-96). The Flagstone project passed Nov. 2001 General Election Referendum by 68% • TIME SHARES PROHIBITED City's "RFP" stated no residential uses permitted, but hotel and offering of certain timeshare licenses are. The referendum included time shares. The lease between Flagstone and the City (the "Lease') provides that Flagstone is entitled to sell timeshare licenses which comply with Section 721.05(35), F.S.:35 "Timeshare license" means a right to occupy a timeshare unit, which right is neither coupled with a freehold interest, nor coupled with an estate for years with a future interest, in a timeshare property". The licenses, which will be sold by Flagstone, fully comply with that statute. • HOTEL USE IS MORE THAN 20 ACRES The entire land side lease parcel is only 10.7 acres, and the hotels are only a fraction of that area. • PRIVATE CLUBS NOT PERMITTED There are no "Private Clubs" Staff lounges are for crews and are required by industry standards. CONCESSIONS MADE ENTRY BLVD (SOUTH @ EL 9) SHOULD BE BOTH INGRESS/EGRESS Flagstone will make this concession requested by the Children's Museum. DROP OFF SHOULD MAINTAIN CM PEDESTRIAN PLAZA Flagstone will make this concession requested by the Children's Museum. MINIMIZE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE OF PERIMETER ROAD WITH MUSEUM Flagstone is required to comply with both FDOT and City roadway and engineering standards, but will attempt to minimize the differences. MITIGATE DRAINAGE ONTO MUSEUM SITE FROM PLANNED ROAD Flagstone is required to comply with both FDOT and City roadway and engineering standards including drainage. PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION STAGING OPERATIONS PLAN Flagstone agrees to City review and approval of a construction staging and operations plan. CONSTRUCTION STAFF TO PROVIDE IDENTITY CREDENTIALS Flagstone agrees to City review and approval of an island wide security plan that includes all tenants as well as construction workers. PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM PROJECT TO MUSEUM SPECIFICALLY FOR CHILDREN AND DISABLED Flagstone agrees to provide ADA compliant walkways and lifts as required by Code, and a security plan relative to children, supervised by the City. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PARKING FOR FACILITY AND STAFF To the contrary, Flagstone has exceeded parking requirements, ,but is on record that at peak, it will shuttle staff from mainland stations and parking. AVOID ENCROACHMENT ON MUSEUM PARKING SPACES It would be contrary to good policy and relations for Flagstone to encroach on Museum parking. PROVIDE LANDSCAPE & SCREENING TO GARAGE Flagstone agrees and desires the landscape approach to its garage elevations. However, the Children's Museum and 1000 Venetian Causeway resident should request such condition, since the Urban Design Review Board stipulated an architectural solution in lieu of a landscape solution to this issue. BUILDING LIGHTING SHOULD NOT BE OFFENSIVE Flagstone agrees that in addition to the conventional Building Department regulations governing exterior lighting, that the City Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning be empowered to review and assure that each island tenant's exterior lighting is not offensive to it's neighbors. NOISE MAY DISTURB ANIMALS Flagstone agrees that City Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning be empowered to review and assure that each island tenant's noise control, abatement, and reduction activities are not offensive to their neighbors. EVALUATE SPECIAL EVENTS (OFFSITE& ONSITE WEEKENDS) TRAFFIC AND PARKING AND PROJECTIONS The City's traffic consultants have looked beyond MacArthur Causeway. The data shows that weekend peak hourly volumes are lower than weekday peak hour volumes. Flagstone agrees to participate with all other island tenants in development, documentation, and enforcement of City Class I Special Event Permits. Based on the MUSP Traffic Studies, Flagstone will pay regional transportation mitigation fees. TRAFFIC • TRAFFIC METHODOLOGY AND STUDY APPROVALS INCLUDED — (2) State Agencies — (1) Regional Agency — (2) Quasi -Public Authorities — (2) City Agencies — (5) Traffic Consultants — DCA has concurred • REGIONAL NOPC TRAFFIC STUDY Expanded Downtown DRI area to Watson Island Included Miami Beach and Venetian Causeway Analyzed the inclusion as well as exclusion of the Tunnel Keeps DRI trips constant Created No significant change in traffic impacts Does not even require additional bridge openings on Venetian Causeway • LOCAL MUSP TRAFFIC STUDY — Weekend hourly volumes are lower than weekday peak hour volume — Included driveways and nearby intersections — Met applicable LOS standards — Project will pay regional transportation impacts mitigation fees TRAFFIC • MacArthur Causeway, is classed as an arterial, but functions somewhere between an arterial and a freeway due to the absence of driveways that impede arterial traffic. 11111 • Based on the comments from Miami Beach, the applicant • revisited the analysis using the figures for an arterial and the lift analysis was still sufficient. • i lk • While the roadway level of service (LOS) was not met, the 5% threshold was not exceeded and the resultant impact is not considered significant. • Only if both the LOS fails and the 5% threshold are exceeded is the impact of a project considered significant per the approved methodologies.

Ballot Question # 1 Watson Island Development Island Gardens by Flagstone Properties, LLC The City of Miami requested proposals for the redevelopment of the existing 13.4-acre Watson Island Marina and the adjacent 10.8-acres of undeveloped land into a world class marina and mixed use water- front development to emphasize diverse and public open spaces, pedestrian activity, and offer a wel- coming mix of uses to residents and visitors. After a competitive process, the City Commission chose Flagstone Properties, LLC to create a mixed -use development on Watson Island. The development features a fish market, marina facilities, public gardens, a maritime gallery, two hotels, as many as 14 restaurants, and retail shops - Island Gardens. Flagstone will invest $281 million in the project. No public funds are involved. Details of the Flagstone proposal include: Job Creation • Approximately 5,000 construction jobs during two year construction period • Approximately 2,500 permanent jobs will be created • Will create a Skills Training Center and an Employment Career Center • Will enter into a "First Source" Hiring Agreement to hire City of Miami residents Parks • 50% of the minimum base rent paid to the City will be set aside for development and programming of parks throughout the City • Approximately 7-acres on the south side of the island parallel to Government Cut has been designated to remain as a public park Public Amenities and Cultural Arts • Approximately 60% of the upland is accessible for public use 6 Partnerships with Fairchild Tropical Gardens and Historical Association of South Florida • Festival terrace programmed for annual events 1060 0 RESOLUT ON NO. 0 9 1 3 0 4 A RvsOLUTION OF THE XIAMI CITY COMMCOMISSION0 WITH rT C HME T (5) , AUTHORIZING THE CITY MMAGER TO EXECUTE.
