Transportation is important because it would complement the use of cars to the island We cannot imagine that access to the island will forever be simply by virtue a f cars. We would need an island tram. We should address the problem of sea level rise. Think of the causeway -- and this is a very inspirational bullet point -- as a scenic byway, which it teo- much already is. We need to enhance that, enhance vier corridors, and environtnentalh sensitive water- taxi systems. We do need to watch aver the manatee areas when we think of the water taxis. This is a slide that show -- in the yellow line is a possible water taxi route that has been vetted with DERM (Department of Environmental Research .Management). It shows multiple points from near Ba7side all the way south to the Grove, but the notion is thaw to gel a water taxi system to the island and even beyond into Key Biscayne would be, I think, very progressive- 1t is a long-term regional transportation issue- We realise it will take a long time ro bring this forth We did not want it to be left unsaid The magenta or fiichsia line is a bus route- There is an existing bus route. We just think maybe we should increase thefrequency of buses to gain more access from a diverse community to the island. Within the island we would suggest an internal transportation system of solar powered trains. This will allow people access ro the entirety of the island. It also would be important if we could negotiate a way that the train could get from the area in fr•or,r of the stadimn to Arthur- Lamb Road without entering the Rickenhacker Causeway, and that would be perhaps if they could use a slip of the parking area .for the ;i•L lST 4raderny. If we go back then, we really have already covered the region labeled six and eight and two and seven. And so, for the rest of the presentation, we're going to.fucus on the North Point, which is the area labeled number three; the Shrimpers Lagoon, the area labeled number .five, the landfill area, which is labeled number loin.; and the Marine Stadium and irs basin, labeled number one. The North Point plan -- and there are a member of parts of this plan that are, specially the North Point and the Shrimpers Lagoon area, really are ah•eadu again highly sensitive, beaten id environmental areas, and we want ro have vet} little impact there. We do not want a plan that densijies and intensifies fee -tot -Wes where. So the .North Point plan, as a result of a series of meetings and -- is already being developed is ah-eadi underway. It's an area where there will be mountain biking. The mountain biking will take place in the area called out as Zone Number One. Then there is a trail -- so there are mountain hike trails that are actually being laid out because there's topography there The topography is a result of bay bottom that has been brought there over the trans. Then there's a trail around the perimeter of the ,Vorth Paint. Thai's a trail for walkers and joggers and kind of slower _folks, let's say, not so extreme sport folks. They have veil beautiful scenic views hack to the CO, so those triangular red cones are for views. There's an area labeled 15 of low planting so as not ro ohsclne those bewailed views back to the City There's an area for eco-camping, which is the light green number two. .4nd then u•e propose hammocks and beach restoration throughout the rev with some foot bridges and there's a parking area with biosnale and impervious material that runs vertically. It's number five, next to the treatment plant. In other words, it's a place that celebrates the natural environment but lets people go thee, with their mountain bikes and have fun. It's very important to the Urban Paradise Guild and a number Mother environmental groups that there be buffers between different areas of actia•tfy to protect the people an the trails that are just walking firm the people that are mountain biking. The Shrimpers Lagoon area, we wanted again to include Jimbo's and the surrounding beach, low -scale recreational amenities, promote ongoing habitat restoration. And there's a wonder.lru1 job which the City and the County are doing together-. Juan Fernandez, from the City, is slowly restoring all of these beaches in a program that he has that I'm sure you're aware of but 1 want to sal it for the people who are watching. It's a really wonder//cl program that's kind of happening quietly in the background and should be celebrated So this is the drawing for the Shrimpers Lagoon. If you go down the list, you'll see that we're just encouraging the restoration and improvement of existing facilities of the boat launch tvith canoe and kayak rentals; of elevated boardhvalks, which are existing and need repair; of existing parking to he switched over to bioswale:: and impervious parking, which is low carbon footprint and eco friendly: of beach pavilions which already exist, again just to improve them; enhance public beach areas, which is ongoing, because of the Juan Fernandez program that he's doing with DERM,- restoring the Con. of .Ntmmu Pogo 57 Minted red on 1.' 7'2010 City Commission Meeting Minutes Submitted into the p bt" reco Ait ite (s) City Clerk July 22, 2010 working with DERM and the Aram' Carps of Engineer [sic] to look at the_ feasibility of building the marina. If we do that, we believe that the -- o+r the investment would have there by us running that Marina, not including any revenues from the garage at this point,- just from that, we would have a 1 b percent return, syhich will he subs;antial. So we would have not only monies that wound also help generate towards the general fund, btu also we would be able to with monies that we could get from the RFP (Request for Proposals) on the MEC (Marine Exhibition Center) and revenues from the garage to have further support of monies for the rebuild of the Stadium itself So we strongly support this plan as a very _feasible project for as - Chair Sarno((: Thank you, Ale Manager. Mr Mayor. Mayor Regalado: Thank you, Air. Chairman. 1'rn also here to support the plan. 1 would like to first thank Jorge, Hilario, Dr. Bush, Dade Heritage Trust, Friends of the [sic] Marine Stadium. The community has come together not only to save the Marine Stadium, who was in danger of being deneolished, but to save the whole Virginia Key. And we -- the Manager has specific plans far marinas and -- but we are also working on the Marine Stadium renovation. There is o winlov a here we could access funding for the renovation before December and we're working on U. It's a possibility. We still have to come to the County with a feasibility plan in the next now 12 month [sic]. So there is a real, real possibility that we could start the renovation of the Afaring Stadium in several month [sic], less than a year, so it is because of the community. And 1 am so happy that this has changed completely from what it was before. And 1 understand that past Aebninrstr'anon had their ideas al -what it should be, but I drink this is a -- the first teal plan that has been crafted by the residents, by all the groups that care about environment and historic preservation, lave fra. nature. So I'm veil• proud to have been part -- small part in this process. Thank you. ChairSarnn ff Thank you. Mr. 3faror. . ,4nyone else from the public wishing to he head) on PZ-1, please step up. Folks, tin going to ask you step behind the podium so we get a -- at least a read on how man) people are going to come up. Let's use both podiums. You're recognised for the record. Becky. Becky Matkov: Okay. I'm Becky ,t•Iatkov, executive director of Dade Heritage Trust, Miami's largest nonprofit historic preservation organisation. And on behalf of Dade Heritage Trust, the organi_ation which nominated and secured the historic designation of the Marine Stadium, thus caving it ji-om demolition, and the organisation which has been pushing forward the initiative to sae and restore this icon of modern architecture, we headily endorse this version of the Virginia Key plan. The DHT (Dade Heritage Tr•(Istj trustees, Jorge Hernande: and Hilario Candela and the L'MlUniversitr of t•liami) School al -Architecture and Don Worth, a DHT trustee and coclrair of DHT's Friends of %lar•ine Stadium, have donated hiendr eds, even thousands of hours to this endeavor This plan may not give everyone everything they want, but it is ear efidly thought our, respectful of preserving green space and public access, and it keens the Miami Marine Stadium as the centerpiece it so richly deserves to be. We urge your support of this. Thank you. Chair Sarno ff- Thank you. Yes, ma'am, you're r•ecogniserl for- the record. Caitlin McClearon: Thank you My name is Caitlin McClearon. Tin here on behalf of the Tropical.4tedubon Society. Unfortunately, our director had to leave to go to another meeting, but this is an issue that's of great importance to Tropical- We've been involved from the beginning, and we're leery- proud to be part of the public planning coalition. I'd first of all like to thank the Cin' far allowing the public to be a part of this process, far listening to us, and allowing us to bring to you an iinpnveclplan. Anil, of course, I'd like to thank the UM studio and all of the other residents and community organisations that have been a parr of this process I'd like to share with /eau some of the things that we hope to see as this plan goes into the implementation phase, as we hope it will. First of all, we'd like to see increased educational opportunities. FVe're very eager to see a presence of the National Park service in the marine City af Maw, tape 9? P+•reeed or, 3: 2? 2010 City Commission record r item submitted into the on "` City Clerk Meeting Minutes July 22, 2010 basin area. We'd like to see an emphasis on restoration and conservation, which is a big part of the .North Point area that t'ou saw in the plan. Wed like to see unproved signage in the critical wildlife area, and we're very interested to see apublic• boar ramp in the marine basin area. This is something that members of the public have spa en vcyty strongly about rtt all the clrarrettes and meetings that we've had..4 few areas that we're concerned about: first of all, the landfill site, ihch has been, of course, a seriously contentions issue. We believe ihat it needs to be thoroughly cleaned and there needs to be a verb tbornugh evaluation before anything can move for -yard. A recent study indicates that there is pollution linking fi•orn this area, so of course, that's a serious public health concern.

Thank you. Chair Sarnoff Thank you. Yes, sir. Don !finer: ,l1' name is Don Winer. Pin a former Mayor fr•otn a cos:munity to the north. I'm a Jonne,- officer and boat racer for Florida inboard Racing Club. And I'm a fanner rnember of the Treasrtre Coast Regional Planning Council. Id briefly like to read an e-mail (electronic) i sent to the Corrxrrissiorr, to ,Mayor Diaz and the Commission in April of 2007. Yalu- Honor and Commissioners, Miami is about to lose a structure unique in the world to what sorne misguided individuals call progress. Throughout history great leaders have also been great visionaries- Is there not one of you who has the vision la find a way to restore the Miami Marine Stadium to its ,former glory with nest- and innovated uses? Is there not one of you who can step ow of the cookie -curter mold and demonstrate the qualities of a true leader; or is Miami destined to become just another giant Wal-Mart Srrpercenter? Do something bold Save the stadium and show the world how great ;tliarni can be. That was when the environment in the Commission was to bulldoze everything. Thar was in 2007. 1 had the courtesy of a reply ;from ova people: one, Commissioner Sar°noa -- Chairman Sarnaf, , and the second 1 will read you. Dear Ah•. Winer; unfortunately the vision of most clam Cio. leaders is a giant We/ -Mart Center. 1 don't know if you the Cili• Commissions fsicf, but most of the time I am on the losing side. I believe that t/'e Marine Stadium could and should be preserved for rni• activities. Thank you for Your comments- Best regards, Tomas Regalado. Clearly •- -lpplutrsc. :Ur. Winer: -- :Mayor Regalado has heard rnv call and risen to that vision. I thank you very witch for that. :'lly final carnrnent is, I spent many years an the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council as an elected official During that time i reviewed, passed on, and rejected numerous, countless DRIB (Development of Regional Impact), master plans. I must tell you thut watching the progress that Mr. Hernandez and his group and all of the ream went through in building consensus, doing the planning charretres, putting it together, they've created one oldie most unique and outstanding plans i've ever had the measure of seeing, I'd like to commend all of them on that work. The ingenuity, the creativio is brilliant. Finally, as someone who began inboard hydroplane racing in the 1960s and for 20years was an officer or involved in Florida Inboard Racing Club, promoting and putting on races, I want to thank you for giving this attention for the possibility of restoring the Marine Slat/item to what it was. And thank you all for listening .lppreciate it Chair Sar noff Thank von. Yes, sir, Senn Van Leer-: Good afternoon. My name is Sam Van Leer, 1200 Northeast 89th Street. I stir the executive director of Urban Paradise Guild, although today I'm addressing you as a public citizen. I have been actively involved in the public planning process since 2007. 1 attended C'rZ• of :Mann Page a+ f7nrrerrrrn 8."7.7014 City Commission City Clerk Meeting Minutes 1 July 22, 2010 every single public meeting, rt•hether our comments were welcome or not. And £ was the author of the plan for the September- 2009 charrette, where I served as the facilitator for the Norih Point and natural areas table. The plan you have before you represents fain- years of work, hundreds ofciri:ens involved, thousands of hous. as you know And I really do appreciate that the City Commissioners, especially Chairman Sarnoff and the Mayor-, have created this possibility-,- have listened to the public- The North Point area is unique and it creates unique possibilities for enyu•onmenral education and recreation in a natural setting. One of the elements that was part of the consensus developed at the 2009 char t-etre was buffers far different areas ofhtanan use, between those areas for safety and to create a more natural experience because the last thing a hiker needs is to see a mowrtain biker or hear a mountain biker rushing by just a few yards away- So 30-read wide buffers were mandated at that charrette and they should be included, although they're not in the graphics- I've been assured by Enrique Nune_ that they will be included in the narrative for the plan. The consensus that we developed at that chat-I•etre did include the mountain biking community, who I personally incited, and so they have -- they were in agreement with this concept- With regard to the boat ramps, that was another consensus item. 1 drink n-e all do need to reali:e, however, that this is also a regional issue And as our population has gone up, our capacity has gone down, so we need to be thinking as a community, as a County, as a City about this issue for long -terra planning. Finally, coning provides an essential le: -el of protection for natural areas that does not currently exist. There is no :ening code for parks. It's currently :opted as civic space. That, unfortunately, allows 5 percent of the sin face area to be built with buildings. That does not include parking lots, walkways, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, et cetera. What x•e need are multiple layers of protection, one for city parks to provide thin capacity for us so thot we don"! hecorne a city full of couch potatoes. Another is -- Chair Samoff f f 1 need you to conclude. Submitted into the puis recorr itezrt s) on Nit: Van Leer: fees; sir- Finally, in conclusion, we do need to have protection for natural areas as well, consen-aion with recreation- Thank you very touch. Chair Sarno ff' Thank you. Yes, sir. Agustin Saavedra: tli. My name is Agustin Saavedra- 1lire at 20501 Southwest 167th Avenue- f'm a member of South Florida Trail Riders. And in 1988, we were allowed to use Virginia Key for our horses and take them into the beach and do a bridle path. After Hurricane .4ndrew, we loss a br•ielle part. And this is a grew program you're doing, but we would like to see i_ f we can get our horses hack into Virginia Key Beach Thank you Chair Sar•no(f Thank yeti. }es, ma'am Carrie Cleland: Hello. lin Carrie Cleland. fin the chair of the Parks Committee of Miami Negghborhaodds United. And I'd just like to say that for -- on behalf f of Miami :Neighborhoods tinned we support the coalition plan, and we thank the many people who worked so hard on this extraordinary effort- And we do, however, have two issues that we would ask you to please consider. (Inc. we could really like to see a boat rarnp included in the marina section with, von know, £guess a minimum or spots. I think we've been -- we've heard that's feasible. Nye think that 30 is better- than none. And one other little issue. we would recommend not creating athletic fields on Virginia Key at all as -- we feel these facilities belong in neighborhoods where they're ;none accessible to most of the citizens of Miami. But f you do go ahead with creating athletic felrils on the area designated by the coalition plan, please put no lights because they really could harm the wildlife. And again, just -- we realty are happy about this coalition and the plan. Chair Sarnoff.• Thank laze. Ms. Cleland: E.vcited.

City Clerk July 22, 2010 John Von Leer Hi- Iin John Van Leer, ea 1200 Northeast 89th Street, with the UEL and the University of Miami. I'm very pleased to see this coalition plan come forward I've lived an Key Biscayne in the '70s. 1 was active in issues regal -ding i• nginia Key, which included things like Worlds Fair sites, gambling casinos- There's been a whole hodgepodge ()likings that didn't represent the public interest, and I'm absolutely delighted to see that the City has embraced the public planning process and has allowed this group to come together to coalesce and to bring this to a conclusion. And I'm also glad ro see that there is interest in -- exercise in this. i was instrumental in getting an extra lane put on each of the bridges during the rebuilding of the Rickenbacker Causeway when the high bridge was put in. And so there is ample space. And so where's been a teal growth in hiking, which is Wonder f t1 ro see, but it's gotten to a paint where we ;teed some additional control, And there is a bike path that's separated front traffic. It's not large enough to accommodate the distance riders that use the place now, but there may be some ability to schedule one lane on weekends for bicycles, or something like that, so that this becomes not a source of hostility, but ()source of celebration that woe have all these people w•ho ar•e n}'ing to remain physically fir. Thank you. Choir• Sarno f • Thank volt_ Yes, ma'am. Pamela Sweeney: Gaol afternoon. Thank you for your time today. My name is Pamela Sweeny_ 1 manage the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserves an behalf of the Department of Envir•nnmental Protection. And sve manage 70.000 acres that run fv;n the headwaters ofOleia Ravi. dawn to Cant Sound and Virginia Key is included in the BBAP (Biscayne Bat Aquatic Preserves) boundaries. And 'just wanted to just bring a few topics to light- Overall, our• office is really pleased with the plan and how it's developed. One thing that 1 wanted to just mention is we are pleased with the public's appreciation and the Commission's appreciation for the Bill Sadowski critical nil ill ife areas designation as our store's only marine critical wildlife area and as such it's actually closed Of to the public. but we're excited that there's a visual access to the bay through the observation deck, and maintaining the integrity of this boundary is really critical- I also just wanted ro mention that we support the no lighting concept that was being proposed in am• of the recreational fields that inav be constructed. Sea turtles frequently use not only the aquatic preserve, bur also Biscayne National Park, which also abut Virginia Key, and respecting the ecological inregrHn of the North Point, it should definitely be maintainer! We're excited to have the Historic Miami rliarine Stadium in our preserve, and we'd like to rtist encourage continue working with the City and others to ensure (hat any of the activities being proposed have the least amount of environmental impact possible mowing forward The other ilea that we wanted to express was the -- hitting on the water taxis_ Well, we definitely encourage physical and visual access to the bay and being able to provide access to some of the islands within Biscayne Bay, we want to make sure that some of the issues surrounding water tat -is, such as increasing the amount of visits or travel inside ofBiscayneBay, particularly in the areas that manatees frequent, is considered And lastly, sort of unrelated to the Virginia Key ,ti faster Plan, but something rhat's important to the preserve is providing boaters access, and we'd like to see the Dinner Key, otherwise knon•n as Seminole Boar Rwnp, be maintained as environmental impacts are already occurring there, and proposing a new boat tamp elsewhere would also introduce new environmental impacts.
