Enclosed is my application for re -appointment to the HEP Board. I am a native Miamian
and one of the longest -serving members of the Board, and am pleased to have been able to serve
the community in both protecting the community's need for historic and environmental
preservation and protecting property rights.
During my tenure the Board has dealt with a wide variety of issues relating to
development in the several historic districts, as well as emerging issues such as the Little
Havana area and the Marine Stadium. One of the most significant tasks we faced in recent years
was to assist in finding a solution to the Tequesta relics at MDM's site in downtown Miami,
which resulted in a win -win for the City and the property owner.
I have enjoyed working with my fellow Board members over the years and look forward
to continuing to be of service.
Sincerely,
David A. Freedman

RE: City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board Application
Dear Sir/Miss:
As a Miami native, preservation of our historic sites and environment has always been very
important to me. Miami is a relatively young city but with an astounding amount of history that
should be taken care of. I remember reading about the Miami Circle as a child and hoping that
such an important historic monument would be preserved. Several years later, I was disappointed
to see the landmark Miami Orange Bowl torn down. Being so young, I was not sure how I could
get involved and speak out against these types of injustices. The passion to make a difference in
my community inspired me to go to law school.
During my second summer in law school, I interned at the Coral Gables City Attorney's Office
where I learned about the importance of zoning and land use law. My time at the City Attorney's
Office furthered my interest in preservation and becoming involved in our community to make a
difference. I have recently moved to the historic Edgewater community of the City of Miami and
as a Miami local, I frequent many of our historic sites such as Vizcaya, Deering Estate as well as
our Florida Everglades.
Although I currently work in the commercial sector as an attorney for an aviation company, it
would be an honor to be given the opportunity to give back to my City by advancing and
supporting City initiatives. Thank you for considering me as a Board Member for the City of
Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board. Please do not hesitate to contact me
should you have any questions.
Best regards,
Michelle Garrido

Professional concentration in representing both commercial real estate

acquisition, obtaining entitlements and development rights, the legal
aspects of obtaining financing, and representation of the owner in
landlord/tenant matters, construction and lien law matters. This makes

Projects Related to Historic Preservation
The City of Miami is home to 2 National Historic Landmarks.
National Historic Landmark status is the highest designation,
awarded on a national level by the US Park Service, to sites which
are important to the history of this country. Vizcaya Museum and
Gardens is one of these National Historic Landmarks.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens fronts on Biscayne Bay and is a 5 minute
drive from Downtown Miami. Because of this, the neighborhood
surrounding Vizcaya has been in high demand for redevelopment.
When new development occurs close to Vizcaya, there is the
possibility that the new development will impact the Vizcaya
National Historic Landmark and the visitors' experience at Vizcaya
in a negative way.
My involvement as a lawyer in defeating one such proposed new
development which threatened the Vizcaya National Historic
Landmark, caused me to consider whether there could be a proactive
protection given to National Historic Landmarks in Miami's Code.
Such protection would not adversely affect private property rights
and would also put proposed developers on notice, before they
designed their projects, of the special considerations required
when developing near a National Historic Landmark.
This evaluation led me to propose View Corridor protection for
National Historic Landmarks, which came to be codified as part of
Miami 21. Not only is Miami's View Corridor legislation protecting
the National Historic Landmarks unique to Miami, there is nothing
comparable in Florida.
This View Corridor Protection legislation puts Miami on par with
other cities which protect their heritage sites and National
Historic Landmarks. Having protected the View Corridors of and
from its National Historic Landmarks makes Miami a leader in
developing creative solutions for Historic Preservation within the
City.
Since 2009, '1 have served as pro bono counsel to, and worked with,
a group of citizens who have volunteered time and resources to save
the Miami Marine Stadium, a public property which has received
historic designation from the City of Miami HEP Board and haa,aiso
been designated one of the 11 most endangered historic plades by
the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

EXPERIENCE
While receiving his formal training in architectural preservation at the
University of Florida, Todd returned to his hometown just as Miami Beach's
Architectural District was nationally designated. This provided a unique
opportunity to practice historic preservation together with contemporary
hotel and restaurant design at a time when Miami Beach was experiencing
a radical economic and urban transformation. From his design work at the
iconic Clevelander Hotel to the timeless Raleigh Hotel, Todd played key
role in the early years of Miami Beach's revitalization.
Todd's design work first expanded into municipal projects like the 10th
Street Auditorium on Ocean Drive, the Flagler Memorial Monument on :t
Monument Island, and the Miami Beach Headquarter Fire Station on Dade
Boulevard. He also was involved in community projects; The Hispanic
Community Center/Unidad on Normandy Isle and just recently completed
the Miami Beach Jewish Community Center on Pinetree Drive.
is
Over the past decade Todd further expanded the firm's practice to other
communities designing the exclusive Beach Club at Fisher Island, the 5
Star Espa at Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles, and the luxury Costa
d'Este Resort & Spa in Vero Beach. Within these hospitality projects he
has also developed a niche for restaurant design. Some of his more
notable projects include Tuyo, at Miami Culinary Institute and Jo Ann's
Room at the famous Joe's Stone Crab. He is currently designing Porfirio's,
a fine dining "street to table" concept from Mexico City and Mastro's
Steakhouse, a renowned west coast establishment.
Along with his design of commercial properties, Todd developed a strong
portfolio of high -end residential projects including distinguished waterfront
homes in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour and Golden Beach, as well as the
design of the interior architecture for the Mansions at Acqualina.
