Re: Recommendation to Approve "Miami River" SAP with
Conditions
Dear Planning Zoning and Appeals Board:
During the Miami River Commission's October 6 2014, public
meeting the subject "Miami River" Special Area Plan (SAP) was
presented by Melissa Tapanes and Carli Koshal, Bercow, Radell, and
Fernandez, Kobi Karp, Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design,
George Puig, Kimley-Horn and Associates, and Ari Pearl, CG Miami
River LLC.
The Miami River Commission adopted a resolution finding the
presented `Miami River' mixed -use development to be consistent
with the Miami River Greenway Action Plan and the Miami River
Corridor Urban Infill Plan, subject to the following three
conditions:
1) Revise the draft Development Agreement's "Exhibit F...Miami
River Proposed Public Benefit" draft list of improvements
currently under consideration by the City, in order to add up to
the approximately $22,000,000 required to purchase additional
height and FLR, by inserting the remaining funding balance for
public benefits within the proposed high -density development's
impacted area, the Miami River District, such as the current
"Riverwalk" line item listed on the draft Exhibit F."
2) Should "Latitude on the River" fail to fund the small approved
public riverwalk section connecting "Latitude on the River's"
public riverwalk with the recently enhanced public riverwalk
beneath the 2 Ave Bridge (SE side of 2 Ave Bridge) then utilize
a portion of this available "Miami River" public benefit funding
for this important and needed public riverwalk connector.
3) Utilize the Phase 1 $5.5 million of Public Benefit funding into a
Trust or Bond to be used to construct the public Riverwalk if the
riverfront Phase II is not constructed.
