Miami, FL 33136
RE: The Falls at Grand Central
Miami, FL
Dear Clarence,
I am writing to provide you an update on the progress we are making with HUD on The Falls at Grand
Central.
On June 1st, we had our concept meeting with HUD to present the proposed 250 unit The Falls at Grand
Central in Jacksonville with the HUD team led by Barbara Williams, the Chief Underwriter for HUD and
John Sutherland, Head of the Construction Group in the Jacksonville office. In attendance from Walker &
Dunlop was Keith Melton, SVP for HUD loan production and myself along with Jack Taplin and Ted Weitzel
(via conference call) representing the development team. The concept meeting is a comprehensive
review of the project and market and allows for the development team to pitch themselves and the
project to HUD. W&D submits a full overview of our preliminary HUD 221 d4 underwriting, the market
information, demographics, developer information and cost review about 3-4 weeks prior to the meeting
to allow the HUD team enough time to review and prepare for the concept meeting with specific questions
about the proposed project. The meetings generally last about 90 minutes, and HUD will have about 5
days to respond to the concept meeting with either a go or "no go" decision.
On Friday June 2"d, we received a verbal "go" response which is highly unusual for HUD to provide that
quick of a response. HUD is keenly aware of the housing crisis in Miami Dade county and was encouraged
by the team's high quality project concept, unit mix, green concept, and location near the new Miami
Central transportation hub. W&D has been authorized by HUD to extend the formal loan application for
the project and begin the 3rd party due diligence and prepare for formal loan submission. We expect this
next phase to be completed over the next 6-8 weeks.
Clarence, as we had discussed we will be providing you with these updates as we move along the process
with HUD. While there are no guarantees on success, we have an excellent relationship with HUD and we
will be communicating with you along every step of the way. As we have stated previously, HUD has a
very lengthy process and while we would like to say we can get this done in a 9 month timeframe, I think
it is in everyone's best interest to allow us 12 months to get this over the goal line with HUD particularly
given the substantial monetary commitment the developer will be investing in the project.

located on NW 3rd Avenue and NW 11th Street, Miami, Florida ("Project").
The art installation at the Metrorail Guideway on NW 3rd Avenue and NW 11th Street, Miami, Florida,
consisted of shrink wrap art work on 4 large walls. The installation was significantly faded and needed a
new and more permanent installation.
On June 30, 2014, the Board of Commissioners ("Board"), by Resolution No. CRA-R-14-0047, authorized
a Call to Artists for the Project and further authorized the Executive Director to award the Project to the
highest ranked artist. The Board also requested an itemized budget be presented to the Board for
approval. Creative Commercial Insight and Restoration, Inc., managed by Artist Addonis Parker, ("CCIR")
was later selected as the highest ranked proposer to the Call to Artists and a budget in the amount of
$102,000 was approved by the Board on December 29, 2014 by Resolution No. CRA-R-14-0068.
Thereafter CCIR began work on the walls, which consisted of removing the existing shrink wrap and
designing and installing a new mural on all 4 walls. CCIR experienced significance delays due to weather
impediments during the summer months, increased costs caused by high costs for supplies, and theft and
vandalism.
Currently, CCIR is in the process of completing the fourth and final wall. CCIR has provided the CRA with
an itemized budget outlining the expenditures thus far and a proposal to complete the Project. It is
recommended that the Board approve this item to complete the Project.

Project Manager CRA:
This letter requests an additional $20,000 to complete the Overtown Mural Project. The reason
for this request is due to the following:
• The budget is currently exhausted due to the higher costs for supplies and equipment
needed earlier to into the project. One of the four walls is remaining to be completed.
• The artwork that had to be removed was "baked into" the walls, which required more
work than originally anticipated.
• The higher cost for supplies and equipment is partially due to the length of time that it
has taken to complete this project due to higher rainfall during the first 12 months of the
project. Rainfall from July 2015 to June 2016 was 76 inches compared to 48 inches for
the same time of the previous year. Higher rainfall slowed down the project.
• The project has also had more security issues, including theft and vandalism, which has
increased the cost for supplies.

Dear Director Woods:
•
This letter comes seeking support from the Southeast Overtown Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency for funding to do restoration work on the
historic D. A. Dorsey House located at 250 NW 9th Street. As you are aware, the
Dorsey House sit on the National Register of Historic Places, and plays a pivotal
role in the make-up of the Overtown community. We are seeking a grant for One
hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) to repair hurricane damage from
previous years, termites, water intrusion, and security for the facility.
The Dorsey House in the past has played a role as office, a clothing store, and
space for a not for profit agency. As we move forward, we plan to give more
public access to the space so that more people can learn about D. A. Dorsey and
his contributions to the make-up of Miami, as well as, a conversation to create a
place that will draw more tourist attention to this amazing venue.
We have submitted quotes for the needed work and pictures. Thank you for your
attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank
you again for your continued support.

II. SIGNIFICANCE
Statement of Significance:
The D. A. Dorsey House is significant for its association with Miami's first black
millionaire. Dana A. Dorsey, a pioneer citizen and developer of early "Colored
Town," is generally recognized as Miami's most famous black resident.
Dorsey came to Miami in 1897 and soon began to purchase lots in Colored Town.
The value of these $25 lots quickly skyrocketed as Miami expanded to the north,
and Dorsey's fortune grew. Dorsey eventually amassed the largest real estate
empire ever owned by a black man in the history of Dade County.
Dorsey suggested and helped organize South Florida's first black bank, The Mutual
Industrial Benefit and Saving Association. He also served as chairman of the
Colored Advisory Committee to the Dade County School Board and as registrar for
black men in Dade County during World War I. In addition, Dorsey was a noted
philanthropist and was well -respected as a civic leader in Colored Town.
Relationship to Criteria for Designation:
The D. A. Dorsey House is eligible for designation under the following criteria:
1. Is associated in a significant way with the life of a person important in the past.
The D. A. Dorsey House is the most important remaining structure associated
with the life of Miami's first black millionaire and one of its most prominent
businessmen.

III. HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Date of Erection:
1913
Architect:
The D. A. Dorsey House is said to have been designed by D. A. Dorsey
Builder/Contractor:
The D.A. Dorsey House is said to have been built by D. A. Dorsey.
Historical Context:
Dana A. Dorsey was born in Quitman, Georgia in 1872. A sharecropper's son,
Dorsey probably attended a freedman's school through the sixth grade.
After moving to Miami in 1897, Dorsey engaged in truck farming, but soon began
to invest in real estate. He purchased lots for $25 each in the vicinity of the old
Seaboard Station at N.W. 7th Avenue and N.W. 19th Street and soon accumulated
large blocks of real estate. Listed as the only black real estate agent in Miami in
1914, Dorsey went on to acquire Elliot Key and Fisher Island, where he provided a
public beach for blacks.
Dorsey built the house at 250 N.W. 9th Street in 1913 for his second wife Rebecca
Livingston.
The Dorseys lived in the house until 1940. D.A. Dorsey died on February 29, 1940,
and his wife died three months later. Dorsey's daughter, Dana Albert Susie
Chapman, inherited the house and Dorsey's estate.

IV. ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
Description of Building:
The D.A. Dorsey House is a two story rectangular structure with three bays across
the north (front) facade. This wood frame building is covered with shiplap siding
and is topped with a hipped roof covered with composition roll roofing.
The north facade features a front porch which is supported by three masonry posts
and is topped with a hipped roof. This porch, added during the 1940's, replaces
the building's original porch which featured finely turned wooden balusters and
columns.
Windows and doors throughout the building feature plain wood surrounds. All
openings are presently boarded up.
The D.A. Dorsey House originally fronted directly on the sidewalk but was moved
approximately 50 feet back on the same lot around 1950.
Description of Site:
The D.A. Dorsey House faces north and is located in the center of the block. A one
story concrete block garage is located directly west of the house. When the D.A.
Dorsey House was originally constructed, two one-story frame residences were
located behind the main house.

V. PLANNING CONTEXT
Present Trends and Conditions:
The D.A. Dorsey House has been vacant for numerous years and has undergone
severe deterioration. It is further threatened by vandalism and arson in its present
location and condition.
The Metro -Dade Office of Community and Economic Development has awarded
a grant to the Black Archives, History, and Research Foundation, Inc. to study the
feasibility of restoration and adaptive reuse of the house. Preliminary structural
investigations have shown that much of the building material is beyond repair and
would require replacement.
The house is located within the Southeast Overtown Redevelopment Area, which
is slated for redevelopment with public assistance through tax increment
financing. The block in which the Dorsey House is located is proposed for new
housing development. The owners wish to have the Dorsey House moved, so that
the land will be available for redevelopment.
Conservation Objectives:
The Southeast Overtown Redevelopment Plan calls for the D.A. Dorsey House to
be moved from its present location to a public plaza area located along a
principal pedestrian access corridor to the Overtown Metrorail Station. This new
location would be acceptable because it is within the small neighborhood of its
original location, and because the structure would receive maximum security,
public exposure, and use within the activity area generated by the Metrorail
Station.
As an alternative, the D.A. Dorsey House could be retained on its original site,
provided that appropriate use and security could be arranged.
These conservation objectives can best be achieved by maintaining the present
zoning of the property, requiring only the review of physical changes to the
property.

Precision Camp, Lyric Live, Visions of Our 44th President, Living Legends, and ICONS. Additionally, BAF
was able to forge partnerships with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Visit Florida, Big
Bus, the Bass Museum, and Coca-Cola. Further, the CRA currently leases office space from the BAF at
the Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex.
BAF now seeks support from the CRA to continue operations of the Lyric Theater Cultural Heritage
Institute for the 2017 calendar year. The additional funding requested will assist in expanding BAF's
marketing and media efforts, create and attract more programming at the Lyric Theater, and continue to
develop its archive collection.

Dear Director Woods:
This letter comes seeking support from the Southeast Overtown Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency for funding to do restoration work on the
historic D. A. Dorsey House located at 250 NW 9th Street. As you are aware, the
Dorsey House sit on the National Register of Historic Places, and plays a pivotal
role in the make-up of the Overtown community. We are seeking a grant for One
hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) to repair hurricane damage from
previous years, termites, water intrusion, and security for the facility.
The Dorsey House in the past has played a role as office, a clothing store, and
space for a not for profit agency. As we move forward, we plan to give more
public access to the space so that more people can learn about D. A. Dorsey and
his contributions to the make-up of Miami, as well as, a conversation to create a
place that will draw more tourist attention to this amazing venue.
We have submitted quotes for the needed work and pictures. Thank you for your
attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank
you again for your continued support.

II. SIGNIFICANCE
Statement of Significance:
The D. A. Dorsey House is significant for its association with Miami's first black
millionaire. Dana A. Dorsey, a pioneer citizen and developer of early "Colored
Town," is generally recognized as Miami's most famous black resident.
Dorsey came to Miami in 1897 and soon began to purchase lots in Colored Town.
The value of these $25 lots quickly skyrocketed as Miami expanded to the north,
and Dorsey's fortune grew. Dorsey eventually amassed the largest real estate
empire ever owned by a black man in the history of Dade County.
Dorsey suggested and helped organize South Florida's first black bank, The Mutual
Industrial Benefit and Saving Association. He also served as chairman of the
Colored Advisory Committee to the Dade County School Board and as registrar for
black men in Dade County during World War I. In addition, Dorsey was a noted
philanthropist and was well -respected as a civic leader in Colored Town.
Relationship to Criteria for Designation:
The D. A. Dorsey House is eligible for designation under the following criteria:
1. Is associated in a significant way with the life of a person important in the past.
The D. A. Dorsey House is the most important remaining structure associated
with the life of Miami's first black millionaire and one of its most prominent
businessmen.

III. HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Date of Erection:
1913
Architect:
The D. A. Dorsey House is said to have been designed by D. A. Dorsey
Builder/Contractor:
The D.A. Dorsey House is said to have been built by D. A. Dorsey.
Historical Context:
Dana A. Dorsey was born in Quitman, Georgia in 1872. A sharecropper's son,
Dorsey probably attended a freedman's school through the sixth grade.
After moving to Miami in 1897, Dorsey engaged in truck farming, but soon began
to invest in real estate. He purchased lots for $25 each in the vicinity of the old
Seaboard Station at N.W. 7th Avenue and N.W. 19th Street and soon accumulated
large blocks of real estate. Listed as the only black real estate agent in Miami in
1914, Dorsey went on to acquire Elliot Key and Fisher Island, where he provided a
public beach for blacks.
Dorsey built the house at 250 N.W. 9th Street in 1913 for his second wife Rebecca
Livingston.
The Dorseys lived in the house until 1940. D.A. Dorsey died on February 29, 1940,
and his wife died three months later. Dorsey's daughter, Dana Albert Susie
Chapman, inherited the house and Dorsey's estate.

IV. ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
Description of Building:
The D.A. Dorsey House is a two story rectangular structure with three bays across
the north (front) facade. This wood frame building is covered with shiplap siding
and is topped with a hipped roof covered with composition roll roofing.
The north facade features a front porch which is supported by three masonry posts
and is topped with a hipped roof. This porch, added during the 1940's, replaces
the building's original porch which featured finely turned wooden balusters and
columns.
Windows and doors throughout the building feature plain wood surrounds. All
openings are presently boarded up.
The D.A. Dorsey House originally fronted directly on the sidewalk but was moved
approximately 50 feet back on the same lot around 1950.
Description of Site:
The D.A. Dorsey House faces north and is located in the center of the block. A one
story concrete block garage is located directly west of the house. When the D.A.
Dorsey House was originally constructed, two one-story frame residences were
located behind the main house.

V. PLANNING CONTEXT
Present Trends and Conditions:
The D.A. Dorsey House has been vacant for numerous years and has undergone
severe deterioration. It is further threatened by vandalism and arson in its present
location and condition.
The Metro -Dade Office of Community and Economic Development has awarded
a grant to the Black Archives, History, and Research Foundation, Inc. to study the
feasibility of restoration and adaptive reuse of the house. Preliminary structural
investigations have shown that much of the building material is beyond repair and

Conservation Objectives:
The Southeast Overtown Redevelopment Plan calls for the D.A. Dorsey House to
be moved from its present location to a public plaza area located along a
