enolosed report end
to the City Comigie-
day�to:, Mr. L. C!.
March 7, 1924.
In this report an the .!'eb. 16th to 19th visit to Miami,
and on the aoo ompany ing study, (plan #1414-5) , with explanatory
legends, I refer to essential city plan factors that I feel must
be considered in the park development study for its services of
pleasure, convenience and safety to a city that is growing much
more rapidly than any pity in the United States. So urgent have
been the daily and hourly problems of this growth that the needs
of a city of 500,000 in a dozen years are yet to be studied and
provided for.
My study includes the study that was prepared under
the direction of Mr. Cotton and lair. Wilson, with such aid as I was
able to give in interviewing and bringing together in conference
the following people. As a result of these conferences I have
added, in the water, tentative channels, anchorage, and aeromarine
craft platforms, and, on the land, a tunnel to connect Bay Shore
Drive with Briekel Avenue, with pass under the wide new road along
the park. Much of this is the outgrowth of the oonferences with
the editors oi' the Herald and News -Metropolis, Mr. G. t . Manson,
the Harbor Master of the Port of Lliami; the officers of the Aero-
Marine Corporation; Mr. Ernest Cotton, the Director of Public Ut-
ilities; rW,r. R. H. Wilson, the City Engineer; Lir. J. Gerry Cur-
tis, Supt. of Parks; Lir. Joe Grieves, Capt. J. R. Brooks, Mr.
George H. 1Tjere at Miami, Mr. H. L. Bemis at Palm Beaoh, and Mr.
L. C . Ha ices of Ilow York, who represent the Florida East Coast
Hotel Company, Ir. Lianning Sise Burbank, Secretary of the Yacht
Club, Mr. Charles W. Lee, both representing the yachting interests,
and Mr. John H. Snyder, President of the Horseshoe Club.
In the study of this plan we had the assistance of Mr.
L. M. Barrett and Lir. W. E. Lawrence, and the advice of Mr. Munson,
the Architect.
The plan as presented includes the essentials of a plan
prepared by Capt. Newman for the Boat Harbor.
In tie location and the plan for the music pavilion, and
in questions concerning seating capacity and arrangements, we had
the advice of Lir. Pryor, the director of the orchestra.
It was a special privilege to gain the point of view of
Mr. E. G. Sewell, President of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, and
of Lir. J. L. Lummus of the City Commission, both of whom drove me
about the o ity, and explained and pointed out fundamental economic
residential, transportation, and industrial factors.
The conference with Mr. Haines in New York was helpful in
gaining an insight into the intent of the in.orida aet Coast Hotel
Company with reference to the use of their holdings in and about
Miami, and also in gaining the expression of des ire on the part of
this organization to eo-operate with the oily commission and pity
officials in such a way as to come to decisions on such matters as
we have under consideration in which they have a common interest.
Mr. Haines laid special emphasis on the fact that condi-
tions ware especially favorable at this time by reason of the high
character, efficiency, and public spirit of the men who are now on
the City Commission and in the city offices.
It seems to me that the really essential thing, at this
favorable time, when rnen of this type are serving an the commission,
without pay, for the welfare of the city is to secure a like co-
operation from citizens through the appointment by the Board of
trade and the City Commission, acting together, of oomrnitteee with .
three members on each committee. These committees should study
the following phases of city planning in such ways that we can take
advantage of the knowledge of local conditions and requirements that
can only be gained in full deta il by the men and women who are resi-
dents of Miami, and who have seen its increase from a population
of 5,471 in 1910 to 29,571 in 1920, this being an increase of 440.1%
that has not bee approached by any pity in the United States during
the 10-yearperiod. The nearest to this increase are; Wichita Falls, .
Texas, with 386.8°% 'Tulsa, Okla., 296.4%; Bethlehem, Penn., 292.3%;
Gary, Ind., 229.6%; and Akron, Ohio with 201.9%. All of these in-
creases, excepting Miami, are based on industrial expansion or oil
developments, whereas Miami's increase has been due to favorable cli-
matic), soil, transportation, and harbor conditions for residence and
for recreation.
Miami cf 1920, with its population of 29,571, comprises
about nine square miles within its city limits. At the present
ratio of increase, it will occupy nearly 150 square miles in twelve
years when it attains a population of 500,000. This does not in-
clude the populus territory lying outside of Miami,at Miami. Beach,
Cocoanut Grove, and.other surrounding towns and village:: that will
ultimately be incled in a Metropolitan Miami under one administration,

as represented by the additions that have been made to the origi-
nal New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Birmingham, or
under special commissions, that are acting in the interests of a
metropolitan distrtot in metropolitan planting in providing parks,
water, sewers, etc., as in Boston, hew Yorl:, and Chicago.
0n my return from Miami, I stopped at Atlanta and oalled
upon Mr. Clark Howell, Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and his
immediate response to my question as to the future of Miami was "It
will be a oity of a half a million in ten years."
The effective sturdy to make a fair forecast, in my judg-
ment, must be mode with the aid of suoh committees as I have pro-
posed above.
As I now see it, there should be committees on the follow-
ing subjects.
COMMITTEE ON FORECAST
To determine the character, extent, and direction of future
growth by a land classification that may ultimately lead to a zoning
of the lands that will contribute to Miami's growth. This should
include not only the region about Miami that is the only region in
the United States where tropioal products oan be suooesefully grown,
but also the tropical regions outside of the United States that will
contribute to the great tropical trade terminal that I believe will
be established at some point at the tip of=lorida through which the
present railroad passes, or perhaps at the junction of the future
with the extension of railroads that are likely to find their way to
the tip of .Florida along the west coast. Suoh a forecast must recog-
nize the fact that "turtle Harbor, thet is protected by reefs outside
of and opposite the northerly end of Lnng Key, (Key Largo), includes
about 3,000 acres with a depth of 27 feet, and with a channel 30 feet
deep and about 5 miles long that extends through reefs that dome near
to the surface to deep water.
The forecast must include that part of the North American
oontinent, and the European countries that oan be reaohed by the tro-
pical trade of the present and the future from suoh a Ylorida distri-
buting point.
C =THEE ON ZONING.
The city plan of the future will, in my judgment, be a
zoning plan to protect the property and health values of the majori-
ties against the aggressive, selfish, and thoughtless few, among
which there are only a very small minority of malioloue ones, in
such a way es to prevent offensive and unhealthy industries or enter-
prises from entering areas that are beat suited for homes, and also
to prevent the construction of homes in localities that are most fit
for industries. Such zoning would be accompanied by laws with teeth
that will govern the location, width, and grades of streets instead
of attempting to anticipate, ie full detail, the location of all
parks, streets, and public utilities 1'cr many years in advance.
COMMITTEE ON CITY PLAN.
There must necessarily be certain data isl of city plann-
ing, such as are represented by main trunkline thoroughfares, by
terminals for the exchange of freights between various transporta-
tion agencies, and by public reservations, that must be established
in oonjunotion with ether committees, and that will require the at-
tention of a special committee.
C0LILlITTEE ON BEAUTIFICATION
The factor of beauty, as represented by the street tree
planting, the preservation of existing beauty in public reservations,
the planting in parks and public squares, and the planting in private
grounds, tin t ie so situated with reference to all streets as to be
a matter of interest and pleasure to everybody who is passing on the
street th home, business, and manufacturing districts, ie of more im-
portanoe to the majority than any other faster in city planning, ex-
cepting convenience, safety and health.
This committee is pre-eminently one in which the men and
women who are interested in the 1'ine Arts, and in the professions that
pertain to these arts, should be the dominant factors.
C0MLMI'TTEE Oh TRANSPORTATION.
1'he problem of transportation is a fundamental problem up-
on which all other studies must be based to a very large extent. It
comprises the transportation of :veil, road, water and airways, and •
the necessary provisions therefor, looking far into the future.
COMMITTEE ON CROPS AND INDUSTRIES.
It is quite obvious that such a committee ie needed in
gathering data, to estimate the ultimate yields of crops and mann•
-
faotured products, to that they can aid in the preparation of suit-
able zoning studies.
COIMITTE E ON BUDGET AND FINANCE.
This committee I consider to be one of the most important
ones, because there must be a forecast at the present and the future
financial resources, and estimates of oost for plan construction and
administration diming a considerable period of years based on the ex-
perienoe at other cities. Furthezmare, such a committee is needed
to rieep a logical and praotioable balance between the enthusiastio
promoter of a special interest that may have enticing spectacular
Maroh llth, 1924.
values and the every -day requirements that are essentials but that
are so hidden that they do not appeal to the publio.
OCMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY.
This is of primary importance in presenting studies to
the public in such a way as to secure helpful aid and suggestions,
and in promoting the interests of the city in far-reaching ways.
The facilities of my office, and of the unrivalled city
planning data that is accessible here in special libraries, will
be made available for purposes of study and oomparison, to all oity
officials and oommitteee, and other agencies that may aot in the
interests of the city, while I am acting as the consultant of the
city, and park planner of Bay 'Font Park.

The Jity itanager submittedthe following written communication in reference to the
paving of N. E. 29th Street across the F. S. C. EV. Co's. tracks to which was at-

Co., addressed to the Director of Public Service:

City Commission,
Fla.
Gentlemen:
Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. W. G. Brown
of the F. i.. C. Railway 0o. in reference to the paving of 29th
St. crossing over the Railroad tracks.
In 1914 the City Council passed Ordinance No. 153 which
was in the nature of an agreement for opening up old llth St.
across the railroad and the removal of the Company' a yards to
Buena Vista. Section 3 of Ordinance 153 reads es follows:
"That hereafter and in consideration of the undertak-
ings required of said J'.E.C. R ailway Company by this ordinance,
no street or other public crossing shall be required, established
or opened at grade by the City of Miami, or on its behalf, over
or across any property, trL:oks cr rights -of -way of said railway
company between Johnson Street on ti:e South and the County Road
at Buono Vista on the North as same are now located. And if the
public necessity shall at any time hereafter require the opening
of any street or public crossing over or across any property or
rights -of -way as a Zoresaid, then the City of Miami shall, without
cost or expense to said F. L. C. !railway Company so construct and
maintain ever; such crossing as to carry the same either above or
under the tracks of said railway company in such manner as not to
interfere tvith or obstruct said tracks or the railway company in
the use thereof for yards or other railway purposes. And for two
such oroesinzs under the tracks of said company, not exceeding
thirty feet in width, which the City may put in north of said
Johnson street, and within thirty-two hundred feet northerly there-
of, the railway company will put in and maintain at its own expense
the girders necessary to carry the roadbed and tracks of the rail-
way company across the same."
In view of this agreement with the Railroad Company at
that time, it would seem equitable that the City bear one-half
of the expense of this crossing as suggested in Mr. Brown's let-
ter, as it is agreeable to the S. 4. C. Railway Company.

Dear Mr. Cotton:
Please refer to our repent oonvereation regarding paving of
29th Street crossing, Buena Vista.
The Management seems to think that the proposal for your
City and this Company to bear on an equal basis the oast of this pav-
ing is equitable. Vde estimate this expense at 43,300.00 and I am
writing for your authority to proceed with the work and bill the City
for one-half of the cost, as shown by our records after the work is
done.
You will recall that you expressed the willingness to do
whatever was right in the matter and I mentioned the equal proportion
of the cost to be borne by each, end it seemed to meet with your ap-
proval.

Brown's comrnunioation and the following resolution was offered by Mr. Leffler:
