UNRELATED 1 CM SCHOOL "'SUPPORT CHARTER SCHOOL 2 PJ TRAFFIC Flagstone has not opposed the Children's Museum proposal for a Charier School, but believes there are several issues that need resolution This issue is unrelated to the Question before us today. © BUILD FLYOVER TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION Ifa fly -over is ever desired, 11 will be a molter between FDOT and the City of Miami since they control all the lord and right-of-ways. It would have have to add additional right-of-way and would have to be compliant with the proposed Tunnel Road and BayLink, whose requirements will not be known for several years to come. 11 is unrelated to the Question before us today. 3 VW RESOLVE LEFT TURNS ONTO HIBISCUS & STAR ISLANDS BACKUP TRAFFIC This is an existing situation within Miami Beach and is unrelated to the Question before us today. INACCURATE 1 UEL USE la INAPPROPRIATE USE OF LAND Consistent with Master Plan passed Jan. 25, 1996 which was adopted unmhoously by PAB on 01-17-96 subsequent to Public Hearing (PAB 2-96). The Flagstone project passed Nov. 2001 General Election Referendum by 68% 2 UEL USE ©TIME SHARES PROHIBITED City's "RFP " stated no residential uses permitted but hotel and offering of certain timeshare licenses are. The referendum included tune shares. The lease between Flagstone and the City (the "Lease) provides that Flagstone Ls 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. 3 UEL Li 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. 4 UEL PRIVATE CLUBS NOT PERMITTED 5 PJ There are no Private Clubs" Staff lounges are for crews and are required by industry standards. MEETING SPACE IS COMPETITIVE 6 PJ 9 Conversely, Island Gardens could be Parrot Jungle's largest referral and repeat client. Pricing could also give Parrot Jungle a competitive edge. PARKING BELOW MACARTHUR BRIDGE IS COMPETITIVE Island Gardens primary need is nrress to the Loading Docks and Fish Market parking.

Current roadways are designed for higher traffic levels than the combined MUSP Traffic Analyses oflsland Gardens, Parrot Jungle, and the Children's Museum and the other island tenants all together. The results met the required applicable LOS Level of Service Standards, but, nevertheless, will pay regional transportation mitigation fees. Traffic bottlenecks have only occurred from island sources at periods of Special Events_ I/ Special Events parking is restricted to available parking spaces. the only source of traffic bottlenecks will be Miami Beach Special Events. The project's Traffic Study methodologies and results have been reviewed by 2 State Agencies, 1 Regional Agency, 2 Quasi Public Authorities, 2 City Agencies, 5 Traffic Consultants.

To the contrary, should these features be reduced, Flagstone would he in d_futli of its ogreernents with the City, and vncanutstent with the voterreferendum approval 2 CM SITE Ea AVOID RAISING GROUND LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT OF THE MUSEUM if Flagstone's project were not raised, under new US Dept.ofIlonteland Defense regulations. the Promenade would have ro be fenced off and would not be accessible to the public. Given FDOT"s proposal for the Tunnel Road, if the project were nor raised, the entire project would be concealed behind the has el's flood walls al 18 FT height. Also, if the project were not raised, all the hack -of -house activity, loading cocks, service vehicle movement, megayacht fueling and provisioning activity would he exposed, aesthetically unacceptable. and in conflict with both pedestrians, and guest vehicles. It would have a serious negative impact upon pedestriansu nd traffic including the guests oflsland Gardens and the Children's Museum and the genera! public. It would be an issue of quality, appearance, inconvenience and liability. 3 VW PARKING PROVIDE FREE PARKING Fret panting would significantly increase parking demand on the island would lead to even more "special events" , would overwhelm the capacity of the islands facilities. would make the the project infeasible and not financiable, and would den' the public their fair share of parking revenues. 4 CM WBUILD 2ND GARAGE ON DOSE' SITE SOUTH OF MUSEUM This site is controlled byD.O_S.P. It is an awkward site such that if a garage were ever built, it would be a very inefficient one. Plans for such a garage are dependent we undersstad upon an Aviation Center being built, and other than ,4viation needs, there is, we understand that D.O_S.?. policy is to provide parking priority to the Children's Museum and Parrot Jungle, 5 CM Ea SOLVE -ISLAND WIDE OVERFLOW PARKING NEEDS OF SPECIAL EVENTS Special Event" and "peak day" events are better controlled through the City's Class] Permit process, and City coordination which should !rout events to available parking capacity and directly involve police, fire, and emergency services as well as the Department of Off Street Parking in parking, traffic, and event management_ 6 CM ACCESS ® LIMIT USE OF SOUTH ROAD BY VALET & OTHER USERS 7 CM 48 The use ofpublic roadways cannot be exclusive. Flagstone is as concerned as anyone that their guest experience is not only satisfactory and pleasant but also safe. Nevertheless, marina services, fractional guests, aviation center traffic as well as the Children's Museum buses must use the road, which al the request of the Children's Afuseurn we have made two way. SERVICE VEHICLES, GARBAGE TRUCKS AND OTHERS SHOULD ONLY EXIT THE PROJECT FROM THE NORTH/WEST END The loading dock and large truck ingress and egress is at the north end of the project. A second ingress/egress is also provided at the south end whose primary use is for emergency, seaerity, and marina destined vehicles. 8 CM ROAD ISLAND GARDENS SHOULD ASSUME COSTS FOR PLANNED ROADWAYS, IMPROVEMENTS, LANDSCAPING AND MAINTENANCE. Flagstone is aware that with the erception of the 5200,000 payable to the City by the Children's Museum for the roadway improvements, and some contribution by a potential future aviation center, that the balance of costs. including all the above requests from adjacent tenants. are Flagstone's cost. 05-24- 4 FIG Neg Ploorhood Wo' s!+ccOsRESPONSE
