The Project is on the southwest bank of the Miami River and is part of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. The following provides a summary of the proposed land swap. Jose Marti Park (Park) is a City -owned park subject to flooding from king tides where the City is pursuing waterfront improvements to (1) adapt the shoreline of the Park to be more resilient to today's nuisance flooding and future sea level rise, (2) improve activation of the waterfront, and (3) provide greater community access to the water. To facilitate the design and permitting proposed improvements, 21,903 square feet of land was claimed by the City of Miami under a 1957 Butler Act Disclaimer (No. 42113 (6815 - 13)). An additional 342 square feet of land at the Project site that is located waterward of the Butler Act boundaries is needed to accommodate both the existing condition of fill onsite and the currently proposed design (refer to the attachments). The City is offering the State a trade using a portion of the open water Butler Act land at a 2.5 to 1 exchange rate. The 342 square feet requested in the land swap is comprised of three (3) areas which are as follows: 1. Land Swap Area # 1: 133 sq. ft. on the northern shoreline to accommodate the existing and proposed seawall stabilization next to the proposed kayak launch 2. Land Swap Area #2: 61 sq. ft. on the central shoreline to accommodate the waterward advancement of the existing seawall to alleviate an existing pedestrian pinch -point in the proposed Riverwalk around the existing upland structures. Cummins 1 Cederberg South Miami • Fort Lauderdale • Jupiter • Tallahassee Phone: +1 305 741 6155 • Fax: +1 305 974 1969 info@CumminsCederberg.com • www.CumminsCederberg.com 72900 Jose Marti Park Land Swap March 25, 2021 Page 2 3. Land Swap Area #3:148 sq. ft. on the central shoreline, just south of Area #2, also to accommodate the waterward advancement of the existing seawall to alleviate the pinch -point in the Riverwalk around the upland infrastructure The Applicant would like to propose swapping an area of the Butler Act claimed land in order to obtain the three areas mentioned above. The Butler Act land is described in 3 parcels (refer to attached) and is excluded from the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. Only Parcel II and Parcel III are over open water. The area proposed as trade is Parcel III (869 square feet), which would result in a ratio of exchange from the City to the State of approximately 2.5:1. Legal descriptions of the Land Swap Areas will be provided under separate cover. To help meet the public interest test, the Applicant is willing to accept a deed restriction will be applied to the exchange parcels limiting the use of the swapped land to public park use only. The Applicant also understands that the Land Swap Area are those used for non -water dependent improvements (i.e., shoreline fill and armoring) and that any water dependent use areas (i.e., kayak launch, observation platform, floating boardwalk) are required to be included in a sovereign submerged lands lease. A submerged lands lease application is being pursued through the SFWMD permitting already underway (Application No. 200714- 3879). We can provide copies of the proposed waterfront design plans at your request. Please find the following items attached: — Proposed Land Swap Areas & Overview Presentation — Butler Act Land Survey with Parcel III's legal description Thank you for your review of this Jose Marti Park land swap proposal.

Governor Noah Vatenstetn Secretary Through delegation of authority from the Board of Trustees (DSL-12), the above -referenced item was approved by the Division of State Lands on October 30, 2020. This delegation reads as follows: DSL-12: Deny Butler Act (Chapter 8537, Laws of Florida (1921)) disclaimer applications for dredged areas and prepare disclaimers for BOT execution in response to those applications that involve formerly sovereignty submerged lands filled in or permanently improved pursuant to the Butler Act, which are otherwise not controversial. In accordance with DSL 12, the Division of State Lands has prepared a Disclaimer as requested by the CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, for three footprints of formerly sovereign submerged land pursuant to the Butler Act (Chapter 8537, Acts of 1921) and Section 253.129, Florida Statutes. An aerial photograph dated 1951 shows the improvement in place. The improved formerly sovereign submerged lands existed prior to the repeal of the Butler Act. Staff acknowledges the aerial photographs are sufficient evidence supporting the Butler Act claim. The date of repeal of the Butler Act in Miami -Dade County was June 11,1957. Attached please find the disclaimer for your execution. Once the disclaimer is fully executed, it will be provided to the applicant for recording in the public records of the county in which the property is located.

A meeting was held with DERM staff (Ms. Lindsey Precht and Ms. Rockell Alhale) on April 14, 2021 to discuss the historical mooring at the Jose Marti Park site, identify an agreed -upon number of grandfatherable slips, and identify any permitting restrictions DERM may have relative to potential slip transfers. A meeting summary is attached to this letter as Exhibit A. The meeting resulted in a request from DERM for the Applicant to put together a formal request to review historical slips at the Project site that may be available for transfer to other sites in the vicinity and for DERM to determine if a Restrictive Covenant will be required regarding the use of slips at the Park. The Park's Project is in the process of obtaining State and Federal environmental permits, as well as a Miami -Dade County Class I Coastal Construction Permit from Miami -Dade County RER (File No. CLI- 2020-0243). The Project is proposing one transient slip for a water taxi landing. Historical Upland Use Based on our April 14, 2021 meeting, slips to be grandfathered may be limited based on the historical slip count, length of vessel, and type of use (i.e., commercial, recreational, transitory, etc.). As such, a review of the historical land use and waterway use is helpful to ascertain the types of vessels and their uses. The Park, owned and operated by the City of Miami (City), is a compilation of 19 parcels (as shown in Attachment C of the Class I application submittal), seven of which front the water. Six of the waterfront parcels (Parcels 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, and 10) are City -owned and one (Parcel 19) is owned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The site's historic upland ownership, and hence use, is rather complex due to the transfer of land through various acquisition methods for individual parcels. Transfer of land instruments were also provided in Attachment C of the Class I application. For convenience, the parcel map and ownership instrument table from the original Attachment C are attached herein (Exhibit B). Cummins 1 Cederberg South Miami • Fort Lauderdale • Jupiter • Tallahassee Phone: +1 305 741 6155 • www.CumminsCederberg.com 72900 DERM Slip Review June 3, 2021 Page 2 The upland site was previously utilized recreationally for the Miami Canoe Club in the early 1900's before World War II, as pictured and described on Page 63 in Images of America: Along the Miami River, a book written by Dr. Paul S. George who is a well-known/respected historian in South Florida, and utilized commercially for Destin Cement Company during World War II as described on Page 115 (see Exhibit C). After World War II (1939 — 1945), upland use at the site varied and Instrument 2 of the Attachment C document gives some insight as to what the some of the parcels were before they were acquired for Park use. The list of defendants which the City took land from (Page 13 of Attachment C) include, but are not limited to, the following: Dos Hermanos Seafood, Riverside Boatyard, Riba's Commercial, and Coconut Grove Bank. This acquisition occurred around 1970. The City continued to acquire the land (both private and commercial) that composes the 19 parcels today throughout the 1970's and early 1980's. Construction for Jose Marti Park commenced in 1983 and the Park was complete and open to the public starting in 1985. Historical upland use, specifically the canoe club, seafood store, and boatyard, give some good indication as to why mooring may have been utilized at the Project site previously; likely for both recreational and commercial use. Historical Vessel Use The Project site is designated as aLimited Special Use (1:500) areaperthe Miami -Dade Manatee Protection Plan (MPP). This allows 1 vessel slip per 500 feet of shoreline, or one slip per parcel, whichever is more restrictive. Since the Park is comprised of six separate City -owned waterfront parcels, it could be interpreted that the MPP would apply to each parcel on an individual basis, therefore allowing for a minimum of six slips, to be used for water dependent public transportation and/or commercial/charter fishing without the stipulation of taking historical mooring into consideration. At the very least, a minimum of two slips should be permissible under the MPP when considering the Park's waterfront as a whole, encompassing 1,017 linear feet of shoreline. A review of historical aerials provides some additional insight into what might be grandfatherable at the Project site. A historical aerial document has been previously provided to DERM as Attachment E with the original application submittal (CLI-2020-0243). Historical aerials as far back as 1951 show that consistent extensive mooring of between 13 and 26 slips had been utilized at the Project site up until the land became acquired by the City for a new park in 1983. We have analyzed the sizes of vessels moored at the site for the years of 1951, 1968, 1973, and 1978. A summary table is provided below, with photos and corresponding data provided in Exhibit D. Between the years of 1951 and 1978, an average of 18 vessels were moored along the shoreline at the Project site. The maximum number of vessels moored at the Project site at any one time was 26 vessels in 1968. Barges, indicating transient use of the waterfront, were also present throughout these years: three in 1951, two in 1973, and two in 1978. Furthermore, each of these aerials also show numerous vessels on land which also constitute as slip areas (i.e., dry slip or trailer parking space) and would bring the total historical slip average even higher than 18. A minimum of three vessels can be observed on land in all four aerials, and as many Cummins 1 Cederberg South Miami • Fort Lauderdale • Jupiter • Tallahassee Phone: +1 305 741 6155 • www.CumminsCederberg.com 72900 DERM Slip Review June 3, 2021 Page 3 as six can be seen in the 1951 and 1968 aerials. Due to lack of quality of the aerials shown, and in an attempt to remain conservative on the total number of slips, vessels on land have not been included in the summary table below.

As alternatives, we would like DERM to consider recognizing fewer slips totaling the same approximate linear footage (e.g., nine slips of 60 feet each; four commercial, four recreational, and one transient) or possibly recognizing a total linear footage of slippage based on the average historical use (18 slips x 32 LF = 576 LF+/-) available to be divided at the appropriate time based upon the size of vessel proposed for use. Slip Transfer The Applicant would like to memorialize the grandfatherable and transferable slips for the Project site. During CLI-2020-0243 review, DERM requested the City limit the Park site to one slip for use by the water taxi. DERM indicated that execution of a Restricted Covenant may be required prior to final issuance of the Class I permit. As a Marina Operating Permit (MOP) will be required for the water taxi slip at the Park, we respectfully request all grandfatherable slips be recognized by DERM and referenced in the MOP, once issued. We understand that a future slip transfer request will be reviewed separately from the current Class I application under review for the Park, and will be dependent on an acceptable recipient site and the associated risk to manatees. We are not requesting a slip transfer at this time. Thank you for your review of this information.

Rebecah Delp, Cummins Cederberg, Inc. Katie Britt Williams, Cummins Cederberg, Inc. PURPOSE: The purpose of this meeting was to discuss with DERM the historical mooring at the Jose Marti Park site and identify potential concerns and permitting restrictions DERM may have relative to potential future - proposed slip transfers. BACKGROUND: The proposed Jose Marti Park Waterfront Adaptation Project (Project) is currently going through the DERM Class I Permit review process (File No. CLI-2020-0243). The proposed Project includes the installation of a water taxi service which will utilize one slip at the Project site. The site is designated as a Limited Special Use (1:500) area per the Miami -Dade Manatee Protection Plan (MPP). During Project review, DERM has requested a signed letter form the City (owner) stating that the site will be limited to one slip for use by the water taxi service only, and that a Restricted Covenant Running with the Land in favor of Miami -Dade County may be requested prior to final issuance of the permit. Historical aerials show numerous vessels mooring along the Project site through the second half of the 1900's until the City developed the site into Jose Marti Park with no mooring circa 1984, and as such, the City would like to gain a better understand of whether or not those historical slips are available for possible transfer to other project areas in the future. There are currently no identified locations for which to transfer them. DISCUSSIONS: SLIP TRANSFERS Ms. Danielle Irwin provided DERM with a project update on permitting review progress with the South Florida Water Management District (SFMWD) as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Project team aims to have an updated plan set to DERM in June, after USACE has (hopefully) approved the proposed design. During conversations with USACE, their concerns of navigation with the proposed Project design led to specific navigation -related outreach with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Miami River tugboat captains, which subsequently, has resulted in conversations with the Miami River Commission Cummins Cederberg, Inc.

The MRC and the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) both expressed strong interest in documenting the historical slips at Jose Marti Park which set the context for this meeting. FIND has funded, in part, the engineering design and permitting of the project. The City is currently applying for additional FIND funding for construction of the Project. Ms. Irwin went through the historical aerials dating back to 1951 and pointed out the extensive and consistent slip use up until Jose Marti Park was constructed. She also explained that the Project team is aware the site is designated within the Limited Special Use (1:500) boat facility siting zone per the MPP, which allows for one slip per 500 linear feet of shoreline provided it falls under the acceptable uses outlined in the MPP. The water taxi will be utilizing this slip, which DERM has preliminarily reviewed without objection. Ms. Irwin also pointed out that the MPP views 1984 as the cut-off date to be able to get slips grandfathered at a site; this roughly coincides with when Jose Marti Park construction was complete. There are no aerials that show mooring at the Project site after the construction of the park. Ms. Irwin asked DERM given this information, what number of slips would Jose Marti Park be able to get memorialized, not necessarily to utilize at Jose Marti, but possibly to transfer to another City -owned property in the future? Ms. Rockell Alhale explained that DERM approves slip transfers based on a benefit to manatees. Since the park has been developed, no slips have been utilized at the site; therefore being able to prove transferring slips which have not been used for more than 30 years will result in a net positive benefit to manatees may be difficult. The Project team can request DERM to conduct a formal slip transfer review, however Ms. Alhale cannot confirm transferability until a slip destination site is identified. She noted that moving a slip further up the Miami River would likely not be viewed favorably as this is known to be a manatee congregation area. Typically, moving slips closer to the mouth of the river and/or out of the river (into Biscayne Bay) generally results in a more favorable review from a manatee impact/benefit perspective. She offered to review the historical evidence to establish how many slips may be agreed upon by DERM as grandfathered and possibly transferrable. Ms. Alhale also noted that the type of slip use would be considered (i.e., whether slips are transitory, commercial, etc.), as well as the historical upland use relating to the slips. As a for example, she would likely consider the barges as transitory. Ms. Alhale stated that if a slip transfer were proposed under the current Project (CLI-2020-0243), a covenant would likely be required to memorialize the number of slips available; this would need to go to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for approval. As such, the number of historical slips DERM will recognize at Jose Marti Part should be worked out now before the project goes to BCC for approval. Ms. Irwin stated that the City does not have a recipient site picked out yet but confirmed with Ms. Alhale the historical slip review and agreement could be performed now as part of the Class I permit process for the Park to memorialize the slip count with the potential to be transferred in the future. Ms. Alhale pointed out that August is typically an off month for BCC and September is usually designated for budget allocation so the earliest this project would likely go to the BCC would be in October. Ms. Irwin said Cummins Cederberg will prepare the formal request for a historical slip analysis to be submitted this calendar month. Cummins Cederberg, Inc.

She showed draft designs and photos of the reef wall paneling and asked for DERM's initial thoughts. Ms. Alhale stated that while it may have benefits to the environment, DERM will need to internally review the code to see if it will be considered "filling" since it does not fit clearly within their permitting criteria. She noted that she was not aware of other projects proposing the reef wall panels but that the Project is already going to BCC for proposed filling associated with the seawall so the Project team should propose the panels and take to BCC anyway. She committed to discuss internally and let us know how DERM would like to handle the paneling. Ms. Irwin pointed out that the paneling would not extend further than the proposed seawall cap, does not touch the bottom of the seabed, does not restrict water flow, and helps with wave attenuation while providing intertidal habitat. She committed to send the draft drawings to DERM to assist in their review. NEXT STEPS • The Project team will put together a formal request to review historical slips available to the Project site for transfers to potential future sites and to determine whether or not a covenant will be required. • Draft reef paneling drawing sent to DERM on 4/12. DERM will review the reef wall paneling information to determine if it is considered filling under Chapter 24 of the Miami -Dade County code.

Young men and women, more formally dressed than their modern-day counterparts would be, are seen rowing in front of the clubhouse for the Miami Canoe Club. To the right of the building, located on the south bank of the stream near Southwest Fourth Avenue and Second Street, are several handsome wood -frame buildings that date to the beginnings of the beautiful subdivision of Riverside in 1904. Today's splendid Miami River Inn incorporates some of these structures.

This riverine community traces its origins to 1914, when John Seybold, the city's premier baker, began developing it. One of the world's greatest tennis players in the 1940s and 1950s, Mulloy arrived in Spring Garden as an infant and has lived there since then. Mulloy's eventful life includes serving with the US Navy during World War 11 as a captain of an amphibious ship supplying tanks, men, and supplies to invasion forces on the beaches of Italy and France, earning a law degree from the University of Miami, holding the no. 1 ranking among both singles and doubles tennis players, and being a member of the winning men's doubles team at Wimbledon in 1957. He won four other major professional titles as a member of the winning men's doubles team at the 1942, 1945,1946, and 1948 US National Championships. Gardnar knows the river as well as anyone. From his boyhood, he remembers diving into the stream with his dog from the Northwest Twelfth Avenue Bridge and swimming downriver to his home.

(Folio Nos. 01-4138-049-0010, 01-0200-010-6140, 01-4138-049-0050, 01- 4138-049-0090, 01-4138-049-0070, and 01-4138-049-0020) Dear Mr. Noriega: Please accept this letter in response to your request fora historical slip review relative to the proposed Jose Marti Park renovations. DERM has reviewed the information and has the following comments and recommendations. Pursuant to the Miami -Dade County Manatee Protection Plan (MPP), an "existing marine facility" is one which was in use on October28, 1984 or later, and if constructed after 1980, must have appropriate DERM permits. Facilities that have not been in use at any time since October 28, 1984 will not be considered existing and will be considered a new facility. Based on a review of DERM's records and the information provided in the letter submitted on your behalf by Cummins Cederberg, Inc. dated June 3, 2021, there is no evidence of powerboat mooring at the property since 1984. Therefore, as there is no historic powerboat usage at the site as it relates to the MPP, any facility proposed at the property would be considered a new marine facility and would need to be consistent with the recommendations of the MPP. The subject property is located within an area identified by the MPP as essential manatee habitat and recommended for "Limited Special Use Docks 1:500" or "Residential Docking: 1 Motorboat per 100' of Developable Shoreline". Limited special use dockage includes courtesy docks, water dependent public transportation dockage and commercial/charter fishing boat docks with a maximum density (including existing boat slips) of 1 vessel slip per 500 feet of shoreline, or one slip per parcel, whichever is more restrictive. Based on the length of the subject site's shoreline and the proposed upland use (e.g. public park), a maximum of 2 powerboat slips could be authorized at the property. Additional slips to be used exclusively by sailboats or non -motorized vessels, such as paddleboards or kayaks, could be authorized. Please note that pursuant to Section 24-18 of the Code of Miami -Dade County, a Marine Facility Operating Permit (MOP) is required for commercial boat docking facilities, boat storage facilities contiguous to the tidal waters of Miami -Dade County with a total of ten (10) or more dry storage spaces, and/or recreational boat docking facilities with a total of ten (10) or more boat slips, moorings, davit spaces, and vessel tie-up spaces. Any MOP issued for the site would be limited to the number of slips that have been approved to operate at the site. If you have any questions concerning the above referenced application, please contact me at (305) 372- 6837 or Lindsey.Precht@miamidade.gov.
