And Partnered With
• City of Miami Mayor's office and staff
• City of Miami Commissioner's office and staff
• City of Miami Planning Department
• Miami Dade County DERM
• Miami Dade County Public Works Department
• Miami Dade County Transportation
• Dade County Commissioner Gimenez's Office
Why are we here?
• In Oct 2009 City Commission voted to delay the approval
of the Virginia Key Master Plan to allow for additional
community input.
• After numerous public meetings (three workshops) and
at least a dozen working sessions - as well as consultation
and collaboration with Planning Staff and government
representatives, we're here to present the consensus
plan.
Yet we face a unique
challenge to bring
nature and the city
together on this island.
at
We have built consensus for a better plan for Virginia Key,
showing the value of a more coherent public process that
has included the hard work of many people in this room -
both public officials and concerned residents. We thank you.

natural world

VIRGINIA KEY BEACH PARK
MASTERITE PLAN
if! 4
1
The late greatAthalie Range and
others fought too hard to preserve this
historic beach. It should not be
dominated by inappropriate uses.
Deed restrictions would be violated.
• Historic contribution to the diversity of
our community.
• Crucial civil rights history happened
here. To be honored in a museum.
• Protection of the Virginia Key Trust is
central to the integrity of the island.
Planning & The Public Process
How did we get here in 2010?
• 2006, City of Miami gives go-ahead to EDSA
for a master plan of the island.
• 2007, First UEL sponsored public workshop to
obtain public input.
• 2007, EDSA `Charrette' at LaSalle High School;
300 people attended; one of the largest such
gatherings in Miami's history.

Recommendations:
1. Welcome Center within
Marine Stadium Park Area
2. Multi -jurisdictional
authority over island
3. Transportation: Connectivity
4. Balance fiscal and
environmental sustainability
Vision For Virginia Key From UEL
Workshop Sept 27, 2009
• An Accessible Place of Recreation, Heritage, and
Natural Conservation
• Complete public access to waterfront
• Sustainable principles: healthy activity, low carbon
footprint
• No overnight accommodations (eco camping allowed)
and expand eating and public facilities and recreational
activities.
• Enhance public amenities, transportation
• Integrate Thematic Linkages: Heritage, Recreation,
Environmental Education, and Conservation of Natural
Resources
What Does the Community Not want the
Island to be?
• Hotels, condos and shopping centers
• Overbuilding
• Encroachment into natural areas
• Insensitive stewardship ofcultural/historic
sites
Detailed Workshop Recommendations
1. Create a Welcome and Orientafion Center
•Located at or near the Marine Stadium
(possible relationship with National Park
Service)
•Thematic integrafion of the Island
■Education, research, recreation, natural
areas, cultural memory, entertainment,
food, water sports
•Introduction to island transportafion system
■Tram schedule, show nearby locafions
for bicycle rentals; where to rent kayaks
2. Follow historic legal agreements and establish
a Controlling Authority
• County and State deed restrictions should
be followed.
• Long term: A multi -jurisdictional Virginia
Key Governing Board should be created to
guide the future uses of the island and
devise an equitable business plan for all
elements of the Master Plan.
3. Transportation: Connectivity
and Sustainability
• Compliment use of cars on the island with
more public transportation to mainland
• Need for some sort of island tram
• Address the problem of sea level rise
• Causeway as scenic byway
• Enhance view corridors
• Environmentally sensifive water taxi system -
need manatee protection

Center and Island Orientation
• No taller than the crown of the Marine Stadium.
• Size: 35,000 - 135,000 sq. ft.
• Needs to be on an elevated base five feet tall for
flood criteria.
• We recommend to elevate the base from existing grade
+ 5 feet to +10 feet for vehicle parking on grade.
• Should not be one monolithic structure, but a building
whose mass is broken down by courtyards, porches,
loggias, breezeways and make it tropical in nature.

What is the future of the Marine Stadium and
the Miami Marine Park?
Demolition by neglect
A place of unique history, extraordinary
potential - and great views of the city.
Community Recommendations
• Set up Multijurisdictional Virginia Key Oversight board
• Continue regular meetings with public input or progress
(website presence; quarterly reports to City Commission)
• Protect environmental and cultural heritage of the island.
• Promote uses that serve a public purpose (and abide by
existing deed restrictions).
• Promote public access and expand educational
opportunities.
• Promote a follow up comprehensive transportation plan.
• Sustainability should guide all planning for the island's
future
Possible sources of funding:
• Wet and Dry Slips
• Existing Leases
• Restaurants
• Rental of spaces for social and athletic events
• Licensing to vendors for kayaks, bicycles, etc
• Funds to stay for island financial needs
Financing Sources for Public Assets
• Bond funds
• Grants from private foundations
• State and federal funds
• Funds from existing and future Marine
auxiliary uses and special events
• Sale of Historic Tax Credits
Virginia Key can point the way forward with a bold new human
scale vision that both preserves and enhances the natural and
cultural environment as it provides for education and public
recreation for centuries to come.
