The recitation was inaudible. Mayor Ferro: Thank you so much for honoring us with your presence and the beautiful poem. You ought to be very proud of that and we are proud of you. Mrs. Gordon: If we could during this Bicentennial year we will be celebrating if we could follow our salute to the flag by a reading of this poem an a reminder in this Bicentennial year that we are celehrating.Would that be agreeable. Mayor Ferro: WO will make you the official reader of the bicentennial poem. Mrs. Gordon: With Mrs. Burnett's permission I wilt become the official reader. Is that all right? Thank you very saucy. 1 JAN "8 l88 JAN - 81978 2. ANNOUNCEMENT BY P. W. A3DR:.' c:1' i't :!1:`O lUiTtft:,WEN EFFECTIVE JULY 1976 Mayor Ferret At this time 1 would like to recognise the City Manager. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commm tss ton, this January Stith I will have completed my 25 years with the City of Miami. I want to inform the Commission that I am planning, my retirement from the City. I want to do this in concert with the City Commission, and I fully realise this ennounce'csmes at a time when the City is in the midst of no many meaningful, important projects and matters that are before the City Commission that are partially underway or in the early stages of initiation. These include, just a minor list, consent decree the implementation of the Boot Allen recommendations, the convention center, Watson island, Bayfront Park development, implementation of the Dinner Key Plan, selection of a director of finance, implementation of financial management system, occupation of the police building. t would like to share a sequence of events that have taken place so that you can fully appreciate my concern in that on November 6, two days after the election, i approached Mayor Verve inforntaa' him of my intentions and at that point in time had indicated that I hoped I could possibly retire in January at least at the end of February. The Mayor asked that t reconsider my position in light of the important events that were taking place in the city and I made a commitment to his i would do so. Approximately a week later I met with the Mayor once again and informed him that 1 had reassessed .iy position in exercising my retirement and evolved a plan which 1 would like to share •rith you. It is for your consideration and 1 will, as I have in the past, and really over the last iS ye.acs, subordiratn any of my wishes and my position to a plan that will most meet the commission's ni4 dInd tIK. City's needs. So I will give you a recom- mendation and then you can weigh that and come to your own cone!usions as to the processes that you will choose to utilize in the months ahead. What I am suggesting to you is that today you authorize the city Clerk,----t am looking at this from the standpoint of maximum time. i 0.an't know what the commission's feelings or wishes are for .e new city manager. whether you plan to look internally, south of the' borderor nationally. and 1 have looked upon the procedure i am about to give you, one in which the maximum of time consumed. , if the commission should choose to request that every applicant meet certain criteria for submission to the City Clerk. then we would want to know that now so that. by January 1S. ads could be placed with those organs that advertise such positions nationally and on January 30th an ad will appear in the local papers as well as in the inter- national city managers association newsletter and other organs and responses could be received by the City by end of February. and t would recommend that if this procedure is followed that those responses then.(let'a assume there are approximetely 100,E be given to the Boos Allen firm for a screening process which they would recommend 6 highly qualified individuals to the City Commission so that in turn the City Commission could begin an asses!einent of those individuals on an interview basis. This would occur in March and at the end of that process of conducting interviews. --you would be approximately March 30th. The Commission then would finally snake a selection sometime early in April, and an individual that would be selected, if he is from the outside of the city organisation, then there would be a requirement that he give notice to local jurisdiction and that would perhaps account for another 30 days to six weeks and you at best. in that time schedule , have available to you a new city manager on June 1st. It would be my recommendation to create at that point in time, a temporary aesintant Manager position in which this individual would th-.:n be available to the city and there would be an over -lap of a minimum of 60 days upon my retirement in which that new manager could become thoroeghly acquainted with city government, have the time to counsel with the City Commission at teneth. if they choose:. individually, and collectively, and opportunity to became acquainted with the department directors and their operations and importantly be available so that he would play a rule in they formulation of the budget which woseld be uubmitted to city commission by me on July list. at the caue•lusit'n of say tenure. 1 want to emphasize that at least over the last IS yearn, 1 have done everything that 1 can. including; ny family to subordinate thyself for the city's wishes. and is a way I suppose this is kind of a selfish act on ey part. 1 have committed very very few of those in my entire life. and i look forward to this. 1 feet F will have a great deal ui flexibility, as you arc well mare. Wstda my managerial experience. my kntw a dAv of budget and government itself. 1 also as a registered engineer in the State of Florida. t have many opportunititui to tom, that will provide met ;teal iNy tamely with the kind of flexibility that 1 test for the future, sad hope to have. And I want t impress upon the Commission. that Ls the only reason that t am leaving the City of Miami. the only reas©a. 1 want to indicate at this moment if 1 may and I'll have a lot sore to say a little later. each member of the eosmsel ;eaten, ao natter whit happens at tkts t1 ar JAN - 81976 commieeion table, when you have put me on the spot at time, And the differences of opinion we have had, I atilt, through all of that, and sometimes t think the public get the wrong impression about the kind of rapport that this ccnmntssion, individually has had with its city manager and 1 want to announce publicly that it is absolutely excellent, you have never publicly or privately, and 1 vart to specifically state, privately,ever put me in a position in any situation in which ay conscience or uy wishes as far as a matter being carried nut was not adhered to. You have never put ate in a difficult personal situation a% far as the city government oe ,iy position itt concerned. Mayor Ferret Mr. Andrewe.let me say I am sure,all of eta nn this cltrOStasion, and tam Burr every city employee, and everybody in the city is very grateful, we all are very grateful for the 21 years of service given to the city of Miami and especially for these almost 3 years now that you have been At the heist of the management of the city, it's adminstrator, I must say, it will be a great loss to the city and to me personally as Mayor not to have your guidance and heap and stewardship It the helm of the ship. You have done an exceptionally ftae job. I cannot think of any person who could have do .e a hetter job during these difficult times when the City of Miami is undergoing l0aRic changes. You've always been honest and straightforward; you never deviated frets your conviction And i.t'rt certainly been an inr;piratton to me personally and for that T want to thank you personally and on behalf of the City. 1 want to say to my fellow comrissioners that when Paul came to see me on November the 6th, 1 wit!; really ►surprised and shocked because first of all he looks like r;ucit a young ram that I thought he had at least. another 10 yeats to go before he would hit 55 but I understand his reasoning, he's entitled & his featly is entitled to be with him and to have that flexibility that he has worked so hard for. He 1 think showed once more the qualities Ito has, since he was able to do this and I just want to reiterate and emphasize that. he was able to do this last Jtit.ce and it's been a difficult decision bet_ausc and 1 4on't want to eubar.raess him in any way but if you look at the numbers involved, he't, really takiag a sacrifice ,an economic sacrifice since June and when I asked hie to extend it throu.;'► t h.• . nd of the budget period betaauee I think it's essential that why.- ;:. r the new Manager is not time in at the beginning of the budget period but rather be able to go along with )Sr. Andrews is the process while we establish a budget and it' n going to be a very difficult budget this next budget and 1 think it's essential we do it in a tandem team so that at least there's a few months there where the new Manager will be able to follow the able guidance of a •an who has been living with this problem for many years and as Manager in the last 1 years and he was kind enough to after a week of consideration to come back and accept this proposal of mitts. Again I want to reiterate that there's no question that it's a sacrifice on Mr. Andrews part and for that we're certainly grateful and it certainly is in keeping with your character and your past service to this community. The last statement I want to nake, 1 want to just share this thought with you. Paul. 1 was thinking last night as to what would be an appropriate thought when you made this announcentttt and you nay hive ►:t:en in Time naga�:tne two issue:; ago a major article about t guess it wa. religion or mysticism in America and toward:: the end there Vat; n quote: and the quote was a quote of a poem by th.• ,treat Indian poet Ta;;or and it said an d I'm parai,hrcttiin►; because r.• n.•r.tr•; •. sot as gem! rat Nrt;. huene•tte't: in memorizing a pu.•n but the tl:oee,'.h, of It wag tltta and it said something like 11;1•:; It ';niJ, "1 le,i.1 rt drae.ir. to that dream 1 dreamt that 1 i t e• was jay. '•than I w.•1.e I ree;i1 I: ad that Life was duty and as I started i fc•uuJ that duty wag joy." i thank that your service to the people of .ata;ii and to the City can be simplified by that thought that you did your duty and in dolor,, it you found that wonderful ::ate!;f,act i+a;a that people who comply with their duty find and that ie the reward itt itself. it's the knowledge that you have in yo'ar stewardship done is giving your very hest; that yen it:ave• not hey i t:a t.•.t, that you have not held hack. that You haw not in any nay equivo,..it, .t either with your conscience or with your sense of responsibility ;and lit the tuff i llmunt of that duty i think that you have been :a h,tu4 '. flan and that joy cif feli tiling that duty has been apparent in your c•ve•ryday endeavors mad 1 think it. perm atom* throughout the City and is c•ertataly a Rsjor factor ass s JAN • e 19/6 that the City of `•'.i., : and movin„ in ..).Att* 1'nu1 ti, i t v at thin tine i yreat deal of it ;o t 1 u�4t cool ,1 lot , and t n certainly a ;tin '- .oar )nod advice in this matter sal its r. ,' r t,' < <iyatt th in the City. Mrs. Corrtc,n Mrs. Gordon: t just want to ,,.{v t.h ►t you nnd.! such a beautiful analysis of the servfee that '•Mr. Andrews has f:iv..tt to the City, Maurice, that it's all so hard to follow with nnythin,; that you haven't said but for my own observations T wnnt. to say that 1 believe you demon- strate, Paul, a unique type of per+ona1 sty, rt man of f s.rm convection hut a man who can do it in a calm and positive manner without losing your cool and t admire you for that. I know that there have been times when it would have been easy to fly off the handle but you have not and t give you a great deal of credit and consider you a model for my own actions; and other people perhaps have felt the same way that your direction, your calmness, your coolness, your determination and your vety positive approach to your job is one that we admire. Mr. Andrews: Thank you very much. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, it's very simple for me to say what t have to say. As you know, I've never been brief but t think with Paul it would be brief. t think that the City of Miami and its people and ua, the Commission, are much better off when. Paul Andrews was here for the time that he has been here and will bo here and Paul is not going to leave, Paul will still be around and always; available to this Commission, I know, whenever we need him, and it's just been a better place, Paul, for your stewardship as Manager of this City. Mr. Andrews: Thank you very much. Mr. Reboso: Mr. Mayor, I just want to say that in my opinion that the City has been blessed for the last 14 years for having City Managers like Melvin Reese and Paul Andrews. It's: difficult to find in any part of this nation two more able and honest men in my opinion like Melvin Reese and Paul Andrews. During the last three years under the guidance of Paul, 1 think the minorities have advanced more than ever in the history of this City. People have been talking about minorities through presentation for many many years but under the guidance of Paul is when we really accomplished a lot. Frankly I don't know, but I think the City is not going to be the same after he leaves. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I'a not usually Lost for words but T am this morning because I have realty mixed emotions. t have not known Mr. Andrews too long but I think t could rejoice this morning because more than any other member of the Commission, when the position was vacant, T was insistent then because I had a faith and T had is trust and I thank Cod that my faith and trust has not been diminished one bit. I have recommended and I have pushed for and T have urged •for other people• in many many capacities some of them T have regreted, some of them 1 have not. Thin has been n very rewarding push, Mr. Andrews is an unusual man. Most men would have had all sorts of tempers and tantrum:: in this Commission. T have been amazed how he ha.: t•evn al'lc to takes the bitterness of the public: and s;ortet trees the 'ark of under -- ,;tending on tUe part of the Caslsttrsston and 'tot once title to the period he has served as our Manager have T ever seen him nu;•.ry. 'that's; unusual.

JAN • b elf Mayor ferret I'm sure there are tunny people who would like to speak .1t this time hut itm going to recce ntze Cene Naples to speak on be- half of the employees of the City tf t may, Gene, and the we'll get on with the work of the day. Mr. Naples; Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission and Mr. Andrews+, I'd just like to say on behalf of the employees and more particularly for members of the Fire Department that we were just getting to under- stand sack other, Mr. Andrews, and here you are leaving us'so you're going to sake us got involved with another City Manager and i thiry that the marriage that the City employees have had with you as the City Manager has been one that we hadn't experienced previous to your bscoaing the City 'tanager and of course every marriage has it's littl arguments and one thing or another and we haven't always agreed but I never once doubted your sincerity, your honesty and your dedication to serving the employees of the City. t would like to wish you much success in your future endeavors and I'm sure 1 could speak for all the other employees in saying that we're going to Miss you, we ha.pv that the reflection of your replacement will be of somewhat to the saes caliber as you have been in your relations with the City employe and we're sorry to see you go really and we wish you much success and thank you very much. Mr. Fannatto: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I concur with everything you've said about the City Manager and also what Mr. Naples says. I would just like to make a brief statement and say that Paul Andrews has trade himself a very well known and very well respected Manager. He has kept the taxes down, he has been a credit to the community and he showed economy and government and L think he's an example of what Managers can do when they move up with all his years of experience. I'm just going to make one final. statement; I hope the Mayor and the Commissioners would consider to retain the City Manager until the City Manager has at least t:erved a year or two to utilise his talent and experience that would be beneficial to the community. I think this would help an awful lot. Thank you. Mayor Ferret Thank you, Ernie. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of. the Commission, thank you very much for your very generous and kind remarks in my behalf and Mr. Naples, thank you very much and Mr. Fannatto. Mayor Ferret I'd like to briefly touch on the subject of the proce- dure that were going to follow and I recognise that this is too early for us to make that determination at this particular meeting but I want to outline what I understood the Manager to recommend and let's see if we can do some thinking about this and perhaps at our next seating and we may be tweeting before then, before the 22nd as we'll establish later on, perhaps in the next week or MO we can at our very next meeting decide what the procedure iR going to be. As 1 understand it, Mr. Andrews, and Let me repeat it now to make sure I recognise what you said that you recommend that we establish criter for the hiring of a Manager and that we then hire a fins and you recommended boor.

There are two other thoughts that 1'd like to inject on this, one in the idea of making sure that wt• also look s:trnngly from wtthin the City of Miami end wtthin the community of Dade and not in the City and the second thought is we havt. Iwo people in our community that have been, as Commissioner Rehoso pointed out, important factors in this whole thing and that's yourself and Mel Reese. Somewhere along the line t would like to get both you and Mel Reese in the process of analyatng these people sos-I'm not too sure; I'm just thinking outloud now because 1, like all of us, Thaven't really had much time to go through this. I'm just throwing out an alternate idea. I like Boos Allen because they know the City and what they're notng to be doing is thinning down but perhaps the thinning down shc,uld not be to 5 but maybe to 10 and then perhaps I'd like to get you and Mel Reese to come up with a further thinning down of maybe bringing it down to 5 before it comes to the Commission and that way get your experience and Mel Reese's knowledge in bringing it down so that the Commission would then have a final decision to make from a, night bring it down to whatever it is, 3,4,5, something in that range where then the field would be narrowed. This is just thinking outloud and I'm sure that we'll all have different ideas as to how to go about this. Obviously this decision is going to be one of the. most important decisions that this Commission is going to make because a great deal of the future of the City is going to depend on who we choose and therefore I think we've got to be very careful and very deliberate in the process. Anybody want to add any...? Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, t would like to suggest that a date, time, and of course the place would be bore, be set for the purpose of considering affirmatively Mr. Andrews' recommendations 1, 2, 3, 4;. we've discussed them, arrive at a decision and proceed post haste. I'm saying that I suggest that we set a date for the purpose of discussing and arriving at a decision because what he has said is what most administrators who leave you don't say, and so I think we ought to give it serious thought and I would venture to say to a large extent. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, you know I have recommended to this Commission on a number of occasions that we set aside one day a month for a workshop type of meeting. I would like to proffer at this time that we schedule a workshop type of conference on the 15th of January. is the open Thursday. at which time it would be just that - a workshop in which the Commission...

J A N " 8 1976 Ammar? TO J. L . P LUMMER TO ASSEMBLE TEAM 'tD GO TO SAN DIEGO FOR 1978 PRESENTATION OF SUPER BOWL 3. SUPER BOWL 1976 - BID ALSO BRIEF DISCUSSION OF ORANGE BOWL TURF Ms. Plummer: Mr. Mayor as you are well aware, and the other commissioners, the fruits of labor which I aPent two and a half years ago, will be a reality a week from Sunday, and that is the Super Bowl for the City of Miami, when two and a half years ago, myself and other members of the community ventured to Phoenix to make our bid fot the Super Bowl of 1976..Last year unfortunately conditions were changed in which they no longer chose two cities in a row and they saw fit to only choose one city which they chose, Pasadena, Los Angeles Calif. Our presentation, MR. Andrews and I last year at the football owners in Hawaii was well received and we received very good vibrations and indications for 1976 but they chose only to make it for one year. Mr. Mayor what T am saying to you this morning, once again in March this year. there will be the same meeting and hopefully Miami will be considered for 1978. If it is the wishes of this commission for myself to venture out to that meeting. I would want the authority through a motion of this commission this morning to put together the team that I feel would help this city in receiving the bid for 1978 Super Bowl. That authority would he encompassing of putting the necessary people together to take with me to San Diego for this presentation; that is NO. 1, so let's do whatever the commission feels they want to do on that. Mayor Farce: As Mayor of the City of Miami, I. think this is important, obviously this type of thing would normally fall under the duties of the Mayor. Mr. Plummer: Correct, ----- Mayor Ferre:--as has been the case in the past and past Mayors. I want to say however that we work on this commission as a team and when people can do things better I think we have to have the ability to recognise talent where ever it exists and in whatever field. Certainly this Mayor recognises that J.L. Plummer has been an exceptionally fine advocate for the city, he is well versed in the subject, he knows a lot of the owners and I think he has proven that by bringing back the bacon, which we will see in another week or two. So i for one, wanted to go on record saying that 1 have no objections and on the contrary. I welcome his offer to do this and I Mnuid be the most appropriate one of us to represent the city in t , and I would heartily endorse his recommendation. Mk. Plummer: Rose, to .enswt•r your question. yes. it would be the *necessary picking up of possibly 6 or 7 expense.: of people we would have to put together. I would have to take a perms from pa!irity, Mrs. Gordon: You near city personnel? Mr. Plummer: Yucs. Mrs. Gordon: I thought you meant people from the community at 14sr ,e and I couldn't see why we would have tp pick up their tab. You mean city people? Mr. Plummer: Correct. What 1 ass asking for this morning is theauthorisation to put rho teas together, because March is just around the corner. JAN • 819/6 • . ,.

BRIAF DISCUSSION OF POLY -TURF SURFACE IN_ THE ORANG;E BOWL STADIUM Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor the other item, I will be very brief, I would like to schedule for January 22 further consideration of the polyturf in the Orange Bowl and even in the interim, if this commission were to see fit, 1 would like to have the leeway of inspection of the new prescription turf. Mayor Ferre: I am going to rule that a little out of order, that is going to be discussed a little bit later on today, at 2 or 3 o'clock, there will be people here from the Chamber of Commerce and theOrange Bowl Committee on other items , and 1 am sure that is going to be brought up. So 1. think out of respect for all these people that do want to be heard on this, that we hold off the discussion as to exactly what we are going to do, until they are all present. I would subscribe to your point, in view of what you are saying is you think we ought to reanalyze the decision trade by the city commission at the last commission meeting, and bring it up for discussion on the 22nd. Mr. Plummer: I agree, and I don't see anything wrong Mr. Mayor today with discussion but I think it should be scheduled as a regular agenda item. The thing 1 would like to say, I personally Mr. Mayor, we are talking about the expenditure of roughly $600,000. whichever way we go. Mayor Ferre: J. L.

BLOCK 1, DOSCOBLE (7-72) -INTL BANK OP l4IAMI DEFERRED AFTER DISCUSSION Mayor Ferre: Ate there any objectors present at this time? On item 14? Mr. Pallot? Kr. Richard Pallot: Mr. Mayor and members of the commission. we are here appealing a denial by the Zoning Board of our request to change the zoning classification of the subject lots from R-1 to C-2, the subject lots being the ones in yellow 13, and 14. I think before getting in the argument regarding the request for change of zoning I would like to point out a bit of history. In the Spring of last year, 1975, 9 or 10 months ago, after passage of the banking remote facility bill by the Florida legislature, our bank purchased the lots directly to the north of lots 13 and 14. that is, lots 7,8.9 10,11 and 12. Rev. Gibson: Please point to those lots. llr. Pallot: Those are the lots marked in blue. We obtained approval from the city to use said property for a banking facility pursuant to approved plans. That facility is presently under construction. it is about 4 or 5 weeks from completion. I hope soar of you have had an opportunity to see it because we *CO proud of it. It consists of 6 drive-in 1anea of traffic service:: by pneumatically operated remote teller stations.This property is just east of the Miami Senior Nigh School parking lot. At the time we got the initial property rezoned or ve got a conditional use for a drive-in facility, because it was zoned C-2 there were no objectors present at that hearing. The traffic department approved the traffic flow pattern and plan. the School Board approved the use. an overwhelming tna_lority of the neighbors in close proximity to the property approved the use•. 1 think at this time it might be helpful. if I had distributed a drawing, or fluor plan. plot plan of the drive-in facility because think it relates to w1s..t we are .n8ktn,; fur.

JAN - 81976 Mayor Ferro: Ladies and g ntlereti. we are back in session. Nr. !allots Thank you Hr. Mayor and tuemi ers of the commission. to reiterate slillhhtly. and 1 have pointed out the history of the acquisition of the blur property which presently has ou a drive-in facility underconwtructioa. We then acquired the lot. 13 and 14 which are the subject of thl.i bearing. Our solo purpose au I pointed out was to use this property for off-street parkins. With that in Mod. after the purchase. we had two alternatives. On. to Apply for conditional use. or two. to apply for resaninj from the 11-1 to the C-:l which is before you. I would like to point parenthetically au 1 started to before Ow break. and betnes i discuss the tow alternatives. that this area cries lu JAN `$19I$ out for more off-street parking. A tour through these streets, day or night, will indicate that homem/nets and other property owners have carts on their curbs and on their lawns day and night. And it is understandable, Miami High School creates a considerable auto count and it doers that during the day and the evening. I am sure that most of us arc aware of the on -street parking situation in that area. Okay, back to the two alternatives. The difference is between the conditional use and rezoning, which i think are important to point out. If we went for con- ditional use, NO. 1 there would no ingress or egress permitted from any street or artery that attaches itself to that property as I understand it. The ingress and egress would have to come through the drive-in facility and I'll distribute another drawing in a moment which I think will point out the disadvantage to that. Two, if we require a 1S ft get back on 24th Avenue, and it seems to me, that a 1S foot setback is not necessary when the property that faces our proposed parking lot is another parking lot, because the property immediately to ou-: west, that is, across 24 Avenue is Miami Senior Migh's parking lot. The 3rd requirement of con- ditional use is a 20 ft. setback on 1st Street and we have no quarrel with that. We think that is fine and we also like to be good citieenr and protect homes that face the property. Our proposal is this, we had to apply for resoning because there was no other alternative to conditional use. What we propose to do, if this conaission in its wisdom sees fit to grant it, is to file a covenant that will be recorded and go with the land that would restrict our use in accordance with the plan that I would like to show you. It would limit us to one driveway, it would require the 20 ft. setback on let Street, and would require only a S ft. setback on 24th Avenue, which is the side of our property that faces the Miami High School packing lot. If I may let me distribute copies of the covenant I'd like to propose and a copy of the drawing of what we would like to see in the event rezoning is granted. Mr. Plummer: Richard, Jet's cut through all of this . l s.ee nothing wrong with the change of zoning. i drove there last night. it i . nved.d. part ie3 La: critical in the area. 1110 Mayor Ferre : Conm i i tons r Plummer are von making a motion Mt.

Mr. Reboso: Mr. Mayor could w4defer this item until the 22nd? Mayor Terre: As you know, every commissioner here is entitled at time to request deferral. Mr. Reboso: I have not been able to take a look at the facility. Mr. Plummer: I withdraw my motion.. Mrs. Gordon: We have just had a hearing. and I think the kind of discussion that might be put forth might be beneficial to the applicant and to the. city. Mayor Ferret Soso, that is perfectly at right, but I want to remind you that on several occasions you and other members of the co:,rnir:stnn,-- Mrss.

Mrs. Gordon: Not necessarily so, you don't know what t am going to say. Mayor Ferre: tf it is all right wtth Commissioner Reboso it Is all right with me. Mrs. Gordon; Mr. Pallot first of all let me agree with you that off-street parking is a necessity, however the approaches and the elimination of a route in order to accomplish the goals that are needed are not necessarily in my opinion best served by changing zoning and intruding a commercial use into a residential area and i believe that it could be handled in a number of different ways. Some of the things you said of course are true and I would need to check them with the department and ask a couple of questions. One of the ata tements you made Vas that there could no ingress or egress on any part of the property, if a conditional use was applied. Is that true? Mr. Pallot: On any part of the property that touches the street. We could cut through, — Mrs. Gordon: I understand that but that is what I want to ask Mr. Acton's opinion about. Mr. Acton, in your opinion, is this a hard and fast rule? Mr. Acton: Yes. Mrs. Cordon: All right. ihen, with that in mind there are a number of approaches that could be taken besides the changing of the zoning to the C-2. It could be a portion of this property, say 20 ft. on the northerly portion, could he changed and the rest not changed, the reason being this would then permit you an ingress and egress area to the lot and at the same time protect the integrity of that residential neighborhood. And that is why I ask for discussion so when my fellow commissioner go out to look at the property, they may look at it with that in mind. Now you also said that a hardship existed with regard to the 15 ft. setback on 24th Avenue, that a 5 ft. would be ample. I tend to disagree with you on that. because I think that the 15 ft. with landscaping would be a beneficial asset to the community and regardless of whether it faces the parking lot or not, some landscaping will certainly beautify the City. in your diagram here you show quite heavy landscaping in the center portion of the property between your drive-in teller and the subject property. It would be my personal opinion that you could transfer some of that foliage and put less of it there because it seems to be quite extensive. I don't know how many feet, just estimating by visual guess, it looks like 1S or 20 of landscaped area. Therefor* :Lamy opinion you could get the umber of parking spaces you might need if you Look at it is tbat light, so I am throwing these on the table, because it is not all black or white, there are areas in between a shed* you could utilize. I think if you put your mind to it in this light, you night come up with something. Mr. Pallot: Thank you. Mrs. Cordon: 1 know Mr. wants to see the property, but on the other hand. I would be ready to Hake a recommendation along those lineA. if we were ready to act today, but we are not, so we are going to defer it. Mayor Ferret Let re ask, would this be acceptable to you? Mr. !'allot: YON, sir, anything that would permit ingress and egress on 24th Avenue and give us suhatantialty 20 to 24 parking t;p3C. Mrs. Cordon: You only need the 20 ft. We know that by allowing you thss 20 ft. for ingress and egress. you can't. build *another building. Mr. !allot: We would filo a covenant. !less.

First before talking of this subject this in the first part that we come here in front of the commission, and we want to congratulate the Vice -Mayor, the Mayor and all the commissioners on the fine job they have done iet 1975 and we knew you will supersede the job you have done in 1975 on 1976. Vice Mayor Cordon: Thank you. Mayor Ferre entered the meeting. Vice -Mayor Cordon: Mr. Mayor we are hearing item 12 right none, will you take over? Mayor Ferre: Is there anyone here who is an opponent? (inaudible remarks) Mrs. Cordon: ----if it is a permitted use in the Conty,--it is to unify, am 1 right Mr. Andrews? Does the county permit a 24 hour cycle? Mr. Andrews; What they permit by code, yes, if the store is open 24 hours. Mayor Ferro: All we are trying to do is to simplify that the City of Miami is the same as the county, because it is completely discriminatory to the merchants in the city limits that the guy across the street in the county can do swath can't. All we are doing is just simplifying so everybody is the (inaudible remarks) Mr. Plummer: There is a tot of difference sir between a elan drinking in a bar and drinking in his hone, a lot of difference. Mayor Ferre: We are trying to simplify the process and this is one step, you night be right. but that is not where we :are today. Mt. Harold Davidson: 1 am Darold Davidson, S.W. 23rd Road. what is not equitable new, you gentlemen passed, the curutt:aion p:a:iaed, permitting restaurants to serve, you caa go all over the area, these 24 restaurants serve beer right around the clock, as of today. All you have to do is go to any of the restaurants in the Latin area, i happen to i.i+ in bustnise in the Latin area. We close at 7 o'clock ou Sunday. all of these Latin restaurants have sectiotns where you can wit and drink 44 long as they are open, but the bar is closed. This its contrary to what we just discussed about not serving. so there is nothing equitable. Mr. itebosos Mtn is not what we are discus:Albtert, today. Mr. DavidsoetStill nothing is equitable.--- Mayor Ferret You are talking about oranges. and we are talking about alp ea. Mt.

Mr. Davidson: t understand, --- Mayor F erre; if you want to talk about beer and wine on the pre that is another subject. Mr. Davidson: To me it is the same subject, this is my bread and Mayor Ferr• it is not the same subject. Mt. Davidson: you petnittt•1 the rest.eir.tnts to serve while they were on Sunday evenings. Mayor Ferro: I personally have no objection to th.tt but that is not what we are talking about today. Mt. Davidson: But they serve without serving food. You have tio.e, these restaurants (I don't want to name them, I have a list of the -)----- meat butter. open Vice Mayor Gordon: Are you in the bar business, I am trying to get a clarification. Mt. DAvidaon: Yes, to Mr. Plumper: I know what he is saying, he is saying we are going to allow the grocery stores to do something which is going to take business away from him. That is what he is saying when he says it is inequitable. I understand that. What he realty wants to say to this commission is, don't do in just one area, if you are going to do it, do it in other areas too. That if you wish, to give you relief is a different subject. In the sane way that this was petitioned by the grocery stores to allow this. Are you are package store or lounge or what? Mr. Davidson: Beer and wine tavern. Mr. Plummer: If you want the same consideration for yourself, it would behoove you and your association if there is such, to petition this commission to have a hearing the same as what we are doing today for the grovery stores. Nr. Davidson: Mr. Plummer we have had this. We have been through this, and what happened the last time this went through, you the restaurants to serve. I close at 7 o'clock and the restaurant directly across from me will serve you bar and wine without eating anything. Mr. Plummer: This is against the law. Rev. Gibson: I am the long voice on beer and wine. i 1•.•li .vo this: man has an argument and I whit I would rather nee us do i :; to :verve n•+t i ce on everybody and the county let's you serve it 24 hours.

If we vote here today we are going to vote whether you are in a grocery business or whether you are in a restaurant or whether you are in a tavern. That is what that twtice says. If anybody boo -booed, the people who put the notice in the paper boo -booed. Mrs. Gordon; Mr. Mayor may I say something? t see that as a broader subject that what is on our agenda but I don't see that that advertisement precludes our consideration of the item before us. It is a part of it. If we want to broaden it and consider the other, we are permitted by that tad- vertisetent to do so. This man's comments that, consider me too, could be considered if we so desire. On the other hand if we desire not to enlarge upon out agenda item, we are not forced to by way of that advertisement. Rev. Gibson: Rost 1 know what you are saying. What you want to do is deal with this issue here. Mrs. Gordon: You don't have to. Rev. Gibson: You have done to that man indirectly what we didn't do directly. The notice says, --we pay nice money, high salaries to put very clear language in the paper. Mayor Ferrel' happen to agree with Father Gibson. 1 think that notice isn't clear. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Ltoyd,--- Mr. Andrews: Yet:, ----'- Mayor Ferre: That notice to me is a clear notice that we can consider the whole spectrum. it was advertised that way. There is no question that there Was a mistake ride on it. Mr. tteho:,O: The prot,lem i can see, is that Metro changes regarding restaurants, so we can't adopt the same thing we are discussing today, while a store is, open. Rec:aust- Metro has it own regulations. from g A M to 1 A.H. What we can do today :s gu ahead with what is on the agenda and discuss at the next meeting another public hearing the restaurants and. -----beer and wine bar. maybe adopting the same hours `!etro has. It is two different things. Rev. Gibson; 1 believe we ought to have uniformity. I don't think Metro has to be in competition with us. I would not be opposed to pausing this today providing we serve noriee tor the next meeting that we want to uniform theme hours. I am talking about other than this.

I appreciate this opportunity to talk about the property we lease from the City ie the surrounding area of Dinner Key. i apologize to the audience for the fact that these boards block so much of the view. There is a point I would like to make, the reason for this presentation this morning goes back several months ago when Merrill Stevens: tuade a presentation to the Commission on how they would develop the property that they had in conjunction with the property we are leasing from the City. At that time we asked the City if we would be given an opportunity to make a presentation of how we would develop the property that we lease from the City and that is the purpose of this presentation this morning. In the course of the presentation you will see a large heard here which covets pretty much the Dinner Key area. 1 would like to make it clear that while we are going to suggest some ides as to how some immediate improvements might done in that, -- Rev. Cibson:LIon't bt' ..,raid to speak into the r.;ikt,----•' Mr. Meredith: Phan{. you. U';is I too tar tlkay.

I hope other people will pick up come of these ideas and see that they are developed. That is the way progress takes place, one idea building on another. •' rho board ills thin peese001110h you see this morning, was prepared by Ferendino,Cralt'"on,Spillis and Candela,and represented this morning by 14r.

Starting here at this end of the board in Peacock rnrk, this which is the beginning of the Dinner Key area, this park is a very popular park, there are lots{ of people using it on Saturday and Sunady. What is motorising about it is, that most of the people are down here around the softball area or back under the trees. Very few people take advantage of the waterfront area down here, and that is really too bad because there is a very attractive view here looking at the sailboats, the islands off shore and the bay itself. There are some picnic tables down here but the problem with this is there is nothing but a mud flat here. The tide carries in a lot of junk and it stays; there and except at high tide what you see is a lot of flotsam and jetaaa all along the shore. It is not a particular attractive sight as a result. People stay away from it. A way that could be corrected and 1 think people would enjoy this more, if you had a vertical bulkhead or if you want to a steep -angle rip•rap along here which would clean this line up and would also enable you to start a boardwalk or a walkway such :is you have in the Miami River. which is an extremely attractive thing. It i'. part of an idea that several people have of having a boardwalk of walkway that people could walk along the water's edge through entire length of the property. 1 think that would he a way to get people to move through it. This is one of the points the Dinner Ivy Master plan pointed out, that it is a very linear piece of property and it is ic.ptrtant to get people to move up and back and forth on it. Certainly having something along the water they could walk on would he an attractive addition. This corner here is an extremely important corner becaus,e of the high visibility of traffic going to and from downtown, and I understand the Man calls for making this one-way to l;t•lp alleviate •'nne of that late :tfte.•rn•+,en ''affix.

Before reaching any conclusions or making any recommendations about this, t think there is an overriding immediate consideration and that is that there is a lawsuit on this property now and 1 that affects what can be or cannot be suggested with it. The changers are from what I have been able to gather that it nay go on for some time. t think it would be better to wait and nee what develops in that before trying to determine how that can best be put to public use. This is Monty's Restaurant here and here is the old Coast Cttard Station now being used as boxing arena, which is a very attractive way to use it. It is a large building. l think there are opportunities to get other youth oriented programs going in there. There is space for it, and it is a building which can be reached by a lot of kids in the Crove. a lot of bicycles in the Grove. On Saturday and Sunday you see people bicycling all over. It is a popular thing here. This is an easy facility for kids to get to. It is a safe way for them. They can come along the Dinner Key area here. At present there is a boat launching tamp here which has been used in an effort to alleviate some of the pressure on the Seminole property. Unfortunately the angle of the ramp wov.s fine for sea•planea but it doesn't work so well for boats because It is very steep. The man with a little car and big boat is liable to launch everything. As a result it is rarely used. The other problem with it is, if the predominate winds and waves strike the present ramp and broad -side of the boat takes it difficult to get the boat tack on a trailer. What we wound f.ug,;.•-t as it marivt• idea would be to reorient the angle of the r,1a;p and give it greater slope, net it would he easier for brats to use i t . We have also indicated some landscaping here and making ir,►p►ove•rents like this a thing that could be Considered. To help amortize the cost of that would be to put in !'o^.I.• trailer :.torage• such such as e•r have in the back of our place and the city now has it in the marine ':t.'+tlil;'i. t'F. have SO beats hark there now, we are filled up. We don't have anymore space. 1 there is a demand now for additional trailer storage space and we would happy to refer people if that Lit: you are interet:tect in doing. There is certainly enough space hereto do. Thu have ri lot of land that you can i.e•e by looking at that photo over there. In loolpag at the overall thing, there is a green stripe that runs down the whol`,length of the property, connecting both marks at either .•ud .I,I.1 1 think that most of that has already been landscaped and the parts that aren't we hopeaWill be. 1 think we are ending up with a boulevard here that t•t•re that t whole city can be proud of. It is becoming extremely attractive. he same subject because of the linear aspect of thin. property, the Pion ey Master Plan mentions that one point a trar system as a w.ty to ge . •pee back and forth and get them involved in all the vario' u activities he .

Mr. Andrews: I may be wrong from a legal standpoint i don't think that is a legal step that has to be taken at this time if you decide first that this is what you want to do. Mrs. Gordon:About what Mr. Andrews? Mr. Andrew..: lea have a Master Plan that espouses a concept of different areas being used tor different purposes. The area in the location where those hangars ate has been designated in the Master Plan for marine use. Now it is going to made available tor riria. ry i.• in:; use, what has the Planning Board got to do with the conf i ;•►r:tt i,n thu 1 J ings and etc. as far as the marine use is concerned. Mrs. Gordon; 1 beg to differ with you ::.'..,•a-:t .1,, t read the ordinance it said development plan, that doesn't really depend upon :a `•',t,tt•r Ilan. If you read it you will see what I am talking about. It is right behind ynu,Mr. Acton has it. I think this commission has to express itself personally on policy right now as to whether we do or don't want to extend the lease. Mayor Ferret You fot one, and I fot two, don't want to get involved in extending the lease until I know wxactly is going to he done with the property. tt may be two subject to you, and to the it is one subject. 1 think extension of the lease has got to he tied to how they are firm ; to use that property. Mr. Meredith: That realty has been the purpose of what I have attempted to show you this morning. We are laying out how we would develop the property. I think that is definitely with the Master Plan. The Plan itself is very vague its that area, it doesn't show anything except a mass of gray, which is marine use. Mayor Fevre: We keep coming back into this area, and Mr. Lloyd, you requested last time around on the subject that was broulttt out by Mr. Filer to nut in writing, specifically a memorandum at; to whether the presentation that was made by him and by Mrs. Gordon, in fact had legal ?writ or whether it didn't :end you were to Five that to us by this ric•.•t in . 1 an talking about tits• itf•in.•r k,•v ;n.litorium, because you are co:tin„ back to thi•: thin: :.s to tw:,e t �• ! . r n(•t we rt.•.••.1 to 1!o back to the 1'1::nnin7, ttt•pat t -.•;it or no!. t n.. • ,• a it :•it►t it i+rn. f i r •t .11 tt it t1►.

Rev. Gibson: May t ask an important question for me, Mr. Lloyd, if you can answer this, 1 think I would keep my mouth shut for a white anyway, --do we have the right and the authority to grant this man an extension of his tease? Mr. Lloyd: Yes, sir, ----- Rev. Gibson: Bose, 1 just want to get it into the record. I think if this man needs relief. and there its indication that if he pets this tel ief , he is willing to proceed according to the Master Plan and I think we are obligated to either to decide for the people in a resonable orderly fashion, that is all t as saying.

Mayor Fevre: You have not heard from Merrill Stevens. Mt. Meredith: May 1 comment about land use and plans, in that general area. In the first place the property is being used as a Marina, so all the marina functions are traditionally what has been there. The area in front is being used as a park by the public. There is a stall food :.er•vice and take-out food service and a beer -soda operation, the problem is, that it is not adequate to meet the needs, and that is why we were proposing something new. So in theory we are staying within what is being done. Mayor Perm That is subject to discussion, and right now it is almost 1:00 o'clock and people are waiting on other items, and we have Merrill Stevens to heat from. Mr. Plummer; Mr. Mayor 1 don't want to get into a Kassel with you, I have set here an hour beyond what was considered to be lunchtime, which we have done on a number of occasions. Mr. Mayor I am going to telt you. this presentation is over. If you wish to call a public hearing. at which time we will hear from Merrill Stevens, we will hear anybody else involved, ---- Mayor Ferri': .l.L. 1 understand ycntr point. but I understand the technicality of it. but the point 1:; this;, that the Merrill Stevens people, 1•eatet is here, and other mt•t:ther:; of ,1.•rri11 `.;t.•v.•ns>. r.t.i.• :. prt's:.•ntatitt:t.•3t that presentation, these people trot Crt•v•• 1;t•v Marie*. lid t:.tit. ve have a right to rtakt` a presentation too. !'r.

Mr. Johnson: I can address that question in detail, the City Manager can because they were in several of the meeting, ---- Rev. Gibson: Mr. Manager what was the alternatives that Merrill Stevens offered those people? Mr. Andrews: One of them was to expand their lease property lines, (I have a map here, it gets complicated trying to indicate what that expansion was) but the area in blue would be a movement of Merrill Stevens into this ether area, was one. Rev. Gibson: —to trove their property line? that do you mean? i don't understand. Mr. Andrews: --by relocatin:; their lease lint- pert Sally into th.tt lease area now existing in the Grove Key, Mr. Johnson: Grove Key rejected the idea, we then epxressed flexibility and went on to some other areas, for good logical reasons. Mr. Plummer: If you asked for part of Grove Key's property what were you going to give in return? This was negotiations, right? Mr. Johnson: I ass prepared to discuss this at length Mr. Plummer but I heard you say you were anxious to end this and I have a lot of time to discuss it with you. I have all the tine in the world, besides which I am Wringing on our esteemed council's time for which he has a short presentation. Mrs. Gordon: Will you answer yea or no, were you going to save bits soeething its return? Mr. Johnson: I have nothing to give them Mrs. Cordon. Mrs. Gordon; Okay, so the answer is no. W.

Mayor Ferret There is something else that 1 think Mr. Johnson, where did he go? •--you cane up with a drawing that was a restaurant that looks substantially larger that this. Am I wrong about that? Mr. Matson: Mt. Mayer the drawing that we had increased the Marine Services by about 202 and the restaurant by about 50%, yes, sir, it wan larger. Mayor Ferret How many seats did your restaurant have? Mt. Johnson: About 220,--- Mayor Ferre: You know you have to take this into consideration, Mr. Johnson: Mt. Mayor , you have to remember were talking, about following the Master Plan which said knocking dowit all the old buildings and putting up new buildings, so we are knocking dorm air plane hangars and putting up marine buildings, so we are able to do more in less space. Mayor Ferre: Are you recommending that? Mr. Johnson: Mr. Mayor I am not here to make a presentation. I am here to respond to one that is being made. We are in a position at anytime to sit down with the Manager as we have done on 30 or 40 occasions to work what is the best arrangement for the city. Mayor Ferre: My opinion if: we ought to follow the Manager's recommendation. Mr. Plummer:I make a motion we schedule a public hearing on this natter on the 22nd of January. Mrs. Gordon: What is the public hearing going to refer to specifically? Mr. Plummer: Everything and anything. Mrs. Gordon: A revision of the Dinner Key Master Plan? Mr. Plummer: You ate going to bring it in anyway Rose. Mrs. Cordon: Bend it to the Planning (bard first. Mr: Plummer: That is not the point, i disagree with you. Mr. Andrews: The area the commission has to resolve is a general direction of Whatever development takes place based. on the condition of the existing teases, and proposed leases, in a tentative way;ifit then requires groinq to the Planning Board, you would fiend to the Planning Board with some specific direction as to what you intend as far as leases are concerned. 1 think the commission is going to have to through that step.---- . Mayor Ferrel You are not going to poet through the hack door. as Father Gibson says, what you can't get through the front c!oor. As far aa I em concerned the Dinner Key Exhibition Ba11 is already something that his hcen dect.'ed by this cuaumi stun. Hr. Plummer: Let's delineate it rt;;ht now. ----Piro American Drive north.----- MayorFerre: It is Nest,-- 'r — r: It is north.----- mowww---- — . Mr. Andrews:--sotoly for the purpose of deciding the marine servicing tact 1ittis occupied through the leases of Merrill Stevens and Grove hey ;Carina:. Mess. Gordon: I want to say something that should goo into the record.--m4y 1 Mt. Plummer? It to a legal matter. you know. we ware in court on the extension of taw N.rrt ll stomas lease :uhd the court 'wanted thus the extension, is that correct Mr. Johnsen: Yes, t a'am, that Is beautiful opportunity for me respond. Mayor Ferret I am not going to recognize you right now, until she finishes making her statement. Mrs. Gordeal We did not appeal that decision of the court. We did nut hold a public hearing to find out it we should appeal that decision of the court, because perhaps we would have appealed it if we got a public nenttment to that effect. Consequently i think it is a policy decision of this commission as to whether or not there is equity in extending the ndjactn lease, and it has nothing to do with the development plan or the term of that lease, because that is two separate items, and I moved before that we at least express an interest in equity, and to me that is equitable. Mayor Ferret Mrs. Gordon, technically unless the maker and seconder of the potion withdraw it, there is a motion before this commission, and therefore t cannot recognise you for making that motion. Mrs. Gordon: What motion are you speaking about. Mayor Ferret The :notion was made by Commissioner P1iu nrr, •:eeond.•d by Commissioner Gibson, the motion was that a public hearing be held on the 22nd at which time the Manager will make his specific recommendation with the area dealing both with the Merrill Steve•ng area and the Grove Key Marina area. Mr. Plummer: Excuse Mr. Mayor, you are incorrect, 1: don't want it limited to that. Let's get Monty's in here, thi:, is the time to clo it, let's get the whole 9 yards from the Pan American Drive north or east. whatever it he, Mayor Fevre: I understand your ror ioci. Father you want to stick wtth that? Rev. Gibson: Why do w. have to deal with that? Mr. Plummer: Because I am sick and tired of looking at the Coconut Grove Marina that the City took over and let in run down to a dJiidated condition and doing nothing about it. which has put us back into uit. Let's show some action on it, let's move some action on. shop. Rev. Gibson:Let's go for the whole thing then. Mrs. Gordon: What happend to the piece on t t tle bait Mr. Plummer: Seminole Docks is a di Mayor Ferre: That is not _ceder Mr:s. Gordon: It is part of Dinner Key. Mayor Ferrol You can vote anyway you want OR it, now that we have n cotton and a second. What is you would like to :say? tir. Jame:: 1.. Arr•;rron,;: Mr. fiaycor my name Is Jsmc•s+ 1..

Roy.

I must commend you counsel for not taking appeal :to that order because frankly 1 don't think he could reverse it in a thousand years. We have had to spend money to vindicate our rights and to remain on these premises and what this commisison talking about doing is, if I understand what ....`..a... Mayor trerre:We have 2 o'clock hearings, Mr. Armstrong: What 1 was saying Mr. Mayor is, Rev. Gibbon asked what was the equity and i am telling you the equity has been as far as we are concerned, that we had to go to court to spend money to vindicate out rights in a lease we had, considering the fact we have been your tenant and has been mutually profitable for the city and for Mertill Stevens since 1949 and throughout the entire process of thnt litigation and the discussions that led up to ft, we were constantly told that because of the Paster Plan anything which.is going to be done in connection with the development with the Dinner Key area lust be done on n bid basis. We heard that titnc and time again. Now, we have heard a presentation from someone whose lease is ;;o►ing to expire in a year and a natter of months, and as I understand i t , without .o much as a bid, without any analysis of what someone else might thing the I'r•,pe•rty t:- worth and would like to bid for it, with the rightto put .► te•.t.u►► ►nt :►nd everything else on it.

Alt I ant asking for the right for rev client, as w..11 ns anyone else who tlstltht be interested in that property, to have the right to Cuckoo the bid on it, because that is what we were told we had to do.

Gibson: Let me tell you, what we should have clone, we should have appealed that decision that you got. You know why, because the Interest of the public overrides any individual. Let re tell you what happened to us. t as in a church. That is public interest. The Schoot Board decided they wanted our property and they didn't need it at all. You know what they did, they went to court and claimed that in the interest of the public we ought to vacate and we had to vacate. Mayor Ferret Father there is an argument here which, --what he is saying is that when we went after them, we used the following argument, we said look, we are going to take this property and put it out for bids. That is the argument we used in going after them. Okay. Now, what he is saying is, if that argument was good for our property, why isn't it good for this nronerty here. Rev. Gibson: The difference was in dealing with his property and that other property, we had a package deal which would have given us a far better advantage, for that man to be able to bid, on his property, puts that MAn at a disadvantage. That is what it does, and any court will agree to that. Mr. Armstrong: Reverend let me point out to you, that there is a slight difference between the two parties. First of all we have a history that goes back to 1949. Mayor Ferret Let's not get into that, because I can get other people to come up here and say they run this thing twice as good as you ever run it. REv. Gibson, Not only that, thy other part of the history is you have to admit we are getting far {!ore tIne•y out of them fur the, little hit they have against whir you hay.. . r,in't gill into ' l :at trap now.

Mayor Ferret As far as I am concerned we have talked thaw reie out and there is a notion and second. Mt. Armstrong: Mt.

Yoke recommendation shouldn't be here on the 22nd of January. Mr. Andrews Well, if we are going to do that Mr. Mayor, i beg to have a little more time. Mayor Ferro: I think it fair your recommendation have public exposure if you are having a public hearing. Mt. Andrews; It would he public anyway because I supply the commission a memo wrinttcn---- Mayor Ferte: Not op the 22nd.----- Mr. Armstrong: What I ,cr, 'i ins; MI. Mayor that t think armed with the presumption, I don't even know wh..t it i5 going to be, but I at suggesting to you that armed with the prt' lir.;it i.+n recommendation of the City Manager, it is difficult for somebt•dv t•• in and carry the day in opposition. Mayor Perri: I understand. S•' the !tanager now requests that this be put on February 12th, is that what you are saying? Mr. Andrew:. lee. Mayor Ferre: Is that P• repta"l. to the maker of the motion. Mr. Plummier? Mr. Plunger: Yes. Schedule it for 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I want to sake sure Mr. Manager you understand that this will run from Pan American Drive down to Biscayne Yacht Club, the presentation by Monty and everybody. Mayor Ferro: That is the way the motion reads. Mt. Meredith: 1 would like to make a brief comment. I am disappointed that further discussion on this is being posponed for so long. One of the key point we tried to make ve were to a position to rove ahead very quickly. My understanding of this type of operation, of a lease exte•nrtc.n, is it is :a far more routine matter and as a general rule the City Manager negotiates it. if be runs into a jam where it doesn't work out. where the city's interest aren't served, whore the tenant feels he is not being treated fairly, then it ;ue•s back to the city commission as we discussed. 1 h.icl hoped tolay, that of c.,ttr!:e• the city manager could be instructed to (tart a ne,•,nttation. t$t failed. c:.• of course would he hark in front of vote. If we are :loins. t e t+c►Ktonne., two more meettnks. I tomtit like to remind eon thl:: nit fiar• nnth:c ago. :fuel we are using up a lot of time that could be 1►roduc•t t cent, Rs•Vc•nue : cool,l be generated.

Now, this has been done by resolution twenty times, and some how or other it never• -- it sees to slip by and we have to keep reminding yott that • Mayor Ferre: i think the way to do that is, Mr. Manager, in your delibers• tions you ought to call Mr. Andre up and invite them to participate. Mr. Andres Let me clarify one point. At the first presentation Mr. Andrews was so kind and his cooperation with us has been great. We deeply appreciate it. As we told him here this morning, he is the only city hanger we really will miss. but we would like to say that our viewpoint of these improvements at Dinner Key is marine oriented and is not tainted or based on anybody else making a buck. We are concerned about marine facilities for the people of Miami here, and we would like to have our input given to you for what it is worth. Mrs. Gordon: Just a point of clarification on the old auditorium, Mr. Andrews. When we have a lessee, were those extensions of leases always put out on bids? Put it in the record, please, because just in recent years and not thirty years ago. Mr. Andrews: When we put the original proposal out it was put out to public bidding, the original one for the Dinner Key facility. It was put out for bid, and then there was an extension that was pranted after the lessee was here similar -- Mrs. Gordon: How rlanv times? Mr. Andrews! 1 would hive to check the records. Mayor Ferro: Mr. Andrews, while we are on the record on this, we also do that for other st rviet•r;, don't we? Mr. Andrews: Yes, wr do. Mayor F that.

Rev. Gibson: What about that fence? That business and all of that business over there? Mr. Andrews: You see the problem is the merchants I understand are one group of people trying to do business but they are involved with someone who they lease their properties from and it's the lessee thatwe're concerned about or the owner that we're concerned about that should be making these adjustments but it is the merchants who are making the request for these rides. So while you're trying to get the owner to accomplish some adjustments we may be hurting these individual merchants. Mr. Plummer: Well, ok, since you clarified that for the record Pm going to move it. but 1 want you to let it be known to the owner and to the merchants that this is the last time without them complying with the other rules and regulations •• were giving then one full year's notice that they're to comply.

I'd Like to take 49 In its entirety and defer it and get more input or, it. Rev. Gibson, Let me ask also, what about the industry? Mr. Plummets Well, we'll get input from t!lem. Paul, what I'm saying in this. You know it was made very clear to us in California, "By God, the only reason that accident reports are written are fot the benefit of not the public but for the benefit of insur- ance companies." And if they're the ones who need it and want it by God at least we ought to break wen on it and if these fecal that are being presented to aye here today, the way this city operates and most cities operate is not sufficient to cover the cost and I want it revised to at least cover coat. So I 11 move that we defer all of 49. Thereupon on Motion of Ms. Plummoer, seconded by ReV. Gibson Item 49 was deferred by a unanimous vote. Said Motion was designated Motion No. 76-36.

And you know sometimes I wonder if we aren't really foolish because nome of these low bidders the way some of these people operate - I'm not speaking to this particular company in particular bit it happens. You know they don't give a damn about the public who have to travel roads when they're under construction, they don't give a damn about the people who live around the con- struction and you know sometimes I think that has to he taken into consideration that the finished product is just as important as the job itself. I'm going to tell you something, I'm getting a little fed up with it so I'm voicing my opinion. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, I take the same position because I nerve on the H.U.U. Board and there's a company that bid on street improvements and honestly those people caught it in the neck. The electrical wires go bad, sidewalks dug up and they don't really care. Now it seems to me that if the city is going to let a bid part of this qualify- ing those people is their performance in the past. Mayor Ferret I think that is important. JAN - 81976 50.

Mr. Naples; Mr. Mayor, if you will, what our concerns are, and we are not objecting to the Human Resources division as such, what we are obje•ctiss to is that we have had no input into it, it to going to affect conditions of our employment we feel, and therefore with all of the consent decree, we are not sure how the consent clectve is going to effect the c:taployees, and we are not sure at all how the affirmative action or Any of tltciee other thins and it is all being thrust upon uet at ono time, and the people T represent have some serious questions about it. They are concerned, there is too ®tub, and too short a time, this being thrust on them.

The commission will have to begin making a decision as to whom they wish to have administer over these consent decrees as it relates to civil service law. Mayor Ferro: Paul I have no doubts about that personally. 1 only speak for one person on this commission. Mr. Andrews: I am recommending to the commission that you adopt this on first reading, that we begin implementing this plan and that if you want to carry on discussions and answer other concerns that we do prior to the time you adopt it as law. Mayor Vert*: 1 heat you and I know what you are haying but I remain in OW same posture that 1 think the employee groups feel this should he aired to their satisfaction. We went through misery with that consent decree time and time again, and this is lust important as the consent de•eree, and I am perfectly willing to give up a day of try time and just sit hcte and listening to all of this back and forth,--perfertly willing to do it.

Mr. Reese said he would like to be heard on that and i would like to start out by asking htrn . he would like to speak to the con iseion on this; Mr. M. L. Reese, former City tanager: Mr. Mayor and members of the cvmm.isslnn, I did not make myself clear. I said 1 came here to listen what is going to be done about the new surface in the Orange Bowl. I did not come here to talk about the old surface or listen about it. Bet what are you going to do shout the new nid when? Mayor Ferret All right. Mr. Lester rrceman, 2'11 recognize you I knot you want to make a statement on this. Mr. Lester Freeman* Thank you, and I'll try to be brief. On the terange bowl surface I think that Mayor you and your follow commissioners, the Manager, the Tublicity Depart- ment, the County Officials, the Miami Beach Officials and State leaders and even i, all of us have to go to san Diego in March for probably the hardest sale_ of our lives. We've got to go outthere and try to sell the 28 ewnere of Ow Nat ; o'.,1 Pootha it League teams to return the superbowl to the Orange Bowl. n surfjcr 4; f l .::i i ;sue! in those pro- ceedings. Commissioner Plummer and I went to scnt;dal' tw car thee,• years ago and sold the Orange Bowl, Mr. Neese was with us at that tame w • sold the orange Bowl for the game that's going to be played here 10 days from now. Let me tell you that's; a difficult sale when the surface is in good shape. We must have settled without: qunation finally with strength of conviction before we leave for San Diego that question. The Superbowl Ls a pocketbook issue to every Citizen of this community. 1tis the moat: valuable single event any city can have any time. I beg you really to rettl.e the surface issue today and then perhaps do yourselves a favor, produce or use borne of the existing imaginative short term functioning stadium improveattent plans, finance therm and lot us show them to the owners in San Diego. I have an idea that the professional people want grass. They when you consider the Dolphins, the play-offs and the Superhowls are our sports bread and butter. I'd be inclined to want to please them, we always try to please our customers. The value of the Superbowl this year 1t clear if it will ever be clear. We've 85,000 people unemployed in this community - it is the most exciting and vigorous financial event that has ever taken place. Let's please make a decision to trove forward with that. We will be dead if we go to San bingo, as a matter of fact it won't be any use to go with this issue unsettled. Thank you. Rev. Gibson: 14r. Mayor, I had the privilege of going out to the ©range Howl. I taw the existing turf. It seems to me that we ought to take into consideration perhaps two or three things. If we are going to nave to improve the Orange Howl, and there is no question about that we ought to. You know if you're going to sell a product you haft to sell the service of the product. Now I would hope that since grass seems to be the thing that most people want even though the National roet.ball League hasn't said thet to us, and I understand they don't want to get in the arguemel.t, we ought to, if that's what we're going to do we ought to really take that bit and bite it and say for instance to the high so:heals and some of the others. "We're going to hve to limit you simply because if we don't we will then be put in the position that J. L. Plummer referred to earlier where because of the nueber of games that are played there you have just a mud bowl." And then if we go to grass, I got this from a professional, that we ought to then dig up all that business that we have there and lout about 18 inches of, and I shouldn't be saying this because anyway the professionals will have to core up with this. Mut let ae say what was said to see, put 18 inches of soil, I guess sand and Whatever else there and then grass the whole area. But in addition to that come up with a darned good drainage system - irrigation system. Now if we don't want to go that way then let's go to an artificial business. Rut it would appear to me, the Mayor Maid something last week, and MR. Mayor, I don't always hear what yc.0 Ray heeluse I'm hard of hearing. he said Miami, Dade County is the best place to grew grass if you're ever going to grow it, grow grass: you could grow it here. And in that connection I heard that the New York Jets play on gran::, 1;altlraore Colt:: play on grass. 1 rinn't refs amber who else but I remember that :such. And man, if they could grow grass In New York thin time of the year, and then I saw all that, you can tell I'm a t;outherner, when I slaw all th.it snow you can see what happens to southern boys - :;now is not in their thinking. when 1 $4W all of that snow where the Vikings were and even the iltoclur:; l,l;,ycd, wen you know if thy could survive in show on grass in t h see pl<t ..es - wc' don't have *;now, llr.

Said Loney �•a t .t i.robteee with us, that was not the thing that caesed uu to delay. The thing that caused us the delay was that nobeely was wilting to wake a definite decision and position. Now, the other thine is that the Orange howl Committee pro: t0 indicated to us that the artificial business was much to their liking. I would hope that if we c:cn an: war! by the reduction in the nuesbvr of cventa that we will hive satisfied their Qhj. ct.- i on. 7.i 'ayur i'erc t':1'y got Fi long one because t .rot ..:1 i e ; es •.; t'i.tt i'.ful Andrews sent to the rne,rl� �' e'ul is ha., not seeh it and ;'•?iy1Je you may 1`•• 1 r :,.t'j 4 ago from :.et of t.','.i'I and I hav,,:t't hid {, .:ttl:l but it is iopoi`,tttt that I'm .Jain 3 to t t4• 1 it. 1:I‘-: iu:;tt i think wo h.evo to gent ,loin; u:: t!: t ! t :. ... up. t:•,moran<ium dated January 5th from Paul Andrew., t 1 ooently by way of a newspaper article County MayJr II! th•• i !_ a assisting the City of Miami with inprovk'metnt:; at the is i. f•. by I't ov i li.n:; t :.dc; on either a borrow or a grant basis for installing a new t::t ! ,trt ly '.'ay.,r Clark wa:, unaware that the city's postponement of this F,roj••..' .; t_, not to lack of funding but rather was caused by other considerations. N.,wev• r, they crunt.y';, other does bring to mind to interesting factee (1) The City of Miami ha:. fro,,, time to time expressed concern over the projects programmed from Dade County's Decade of F'rogrt.ss Parks and Tecreatiunal bond funds. This has been belied upon they fact except for improvements to existing facilities of the Count;wide nature no ponies are programmed for projects within the City of Mimi yet there is included an extensive program of acquiring and equipping neighborhood and community park facilities in unincorporated areas. (2) Included in the county's program is construction of major recreational sports facilities such as 'Tropical Park in South Dade Metropolitan park. Part of the recent Orange Bowl Turf question the city had studied the Dade County Decade of Progress Bond Program particularly as it relates to the parks recreational and cultural facilities. This issue provided S75,400,000 to projects proposed to cover a wide range extending from those who were truly countywide in scope to those which had a serve a strict local need. To date bond sales totaling almost $32,000,000 or approximately 42e of the total parks and recreation bond issue of the county have been made. Although some of the projects included are of a county -wide nature such items as ieprovementi to public beaches, Haulover Beach, Sear Cut Campground, construction at the Museum of Science, bade County Auditorium, Vizcaya, tee vest majority of projects are designed to serve primar- ily the unincorporated areas. 7. tudy w'as made to determine eer,graphicaliy the areas which will benefit from tlr• programmed with the $32,000,000. Excluding those items which are tot.'lly in nature all remaining projects arc located within the unincorporated area,. o' i'.,de county. I won't get into the analysis of it, it in available to anybody that w.e.ts to sep it. but the point is that. we've gotten zero from ,e of I'ro;r..ss ever, though 2.1., of Dade County's population resides within the eit;,t esa: a and lg of Ad Valorem Taxes are collected iron within Miasui City Limits. %ut. one regional community or neighborhood park improvement ill planned to be built within the city while in the unincorporated areas a vast schedule of improvements were programmed. The City of .Miami is endeavoring to find ways to finance the nodernization of Curtis Park in a suitable regional sports complex i u to include 7 to 10,000 seat stadium which could be used for highschool football games, soccer games and athletic events. The stadium would be designed to include a running track for field events, and it goes on in describing it. Dade County could release to the city the funds necessary to accomplish this and other park improvements within the City of Miami. This should be an amount commensurate with the contribution nade by Miami taxpayers to this bond issue. It is recommended that the City Commission adopt a motion to be converted to a resolution requesting the county to supply the city with the information as to the amount of Decade of Progress Parks and Recreational Bond dollars that could be rode available to the city for the development of parks and recreational facilities. If desired Lntoriii ation can be slied and so on. Secondly I want to read from my statement briefly what I said last time that we were talking about this on December 19th. This is my statements i think that this commis- sion should do one of two things. tly personal viewpoint is either we go back to some sort of grass which is what the Manager and Mr. Crouch aro recommending and the committee is also recommending ending or we leave they surface for one more year if that'. possible and watt and get into this a little bit deeper which right be a wise thing to do. Now I explained the logic of my re.i::oning Feud I had 7 points. (1) Authentic <tress or lawn grows better in Miami than in any oth,'r p4rt of the United States, and t don't think thet's something that we can yet into rauc;h of an argument ,tbrnrt.. (2) 'Vile t►layors should bo taken into consideration :sine the:re'u io co^!pari:;on between the dam:, -to thet'a caused by grass mid the deluge that. Wave 4WPa i4 t.yrcth..' is ssurfecee. use of the Oranges Lowl should not be limite4 merely to football. lie ghoul'! have all types of scheduled events. I talked ebo't the fact that thee City of Oevheonvi 11c. got. $95,000 or revenue from the Roiling Stovers for ono eight and not one incident and we had to turn it down becauee we weirs afraid cigarette butte were going to not the Polyturf on tire. (4) That normally the course of events is to take the tc'a:;t cxpe=naive of bids, and au the ilaneger has pointed out the un a et grass would be the least expensive of all the proposals. I night point meat that when Mr. !tease recommended 4 or S yte.tre ago to put that Polyturt in the nein reeaon for say votirm with that was the premise that that was the Las bid and it wds ZWTNItotii0 to ter. I4.Q. ii and the ocaseitte<•e that rtuc ied it at that time and usually we go for the tow Did fer th" City of Miami. (S) The normal course of events is to toliav the reeccmunend.:tioa of the Reneger and he has recommended geese. CO ¶tw only c©rtpenies doing artificial time have all drollpecl cot except Astro turf and I wag just pr,inliny out that even though that is not conctuaiW' that it certainly is an indication that artificial turfs have had problems. And finally, and the main reason, I do not think that the Cit../ of Miami should nubsidi7n high echo .'. genes. It costs the tax payers and the. c i ti:ens of Miami $3000 pet gamer they Play 2l games that's $60,000 a year. The 0v•rr.icii• stto::e.anee is 3b00 People in the stadium. is absurd to have a major stadium t.i'.,1 up for 3500 people to attend a gams at thi c:xp.a:01 of the people of Miami and therefore, that was since the high schools did not have: e,a alternate field to play on, the reason why 1 recommended that we accept the second alternate, a postponement for a year was to give the an opportunity to work that prob- lem out. Now after reading the Manager's memorandum I've just rear! dated January Sth and after reading the newspapers and hearing the stories about what the County Commis- sion has been saying about this it seems to me that the solution as to the problem in the high schools is theet the county proceed with solving the prehlvm that they said that they were going to solve. I think that it should be done in Curtis Park. 1 think that would solve two problems, three problems. It solves the high nohool football tc•i.,3, (2) it would let us make a decision on the ©range Bawl to the city of Miami and (3) 1 think it would be just because it is unbelievable that Metro,+olitan Dale County :.,s ( • pletely disregarded 24% of the citizens who are going to be paying for these bonds .+ . yet not receiving any direct assistance. I think that's wrc ro, it is vor. 1 ly ..rn:s•r. I think it is legally wrong. You know bade County is cons i rrJo i iy e r i n.j +.+. I . • ':.)11 a ,.+ . e asking for their ,fait share of funds and .om?laining .he-n 1,:1" r.),,t.: ; .: .'t 9ct it_ , .'. yet they tune around and treat the . i t le ,•• - ,,t c,1 in that the state government is treating Dade c •yr,►, ., , : • I r.sy r that w• • get our fa.. share of these Decade of 1✓r,4r.• . • Mr. Plumnpr: W'!w L',.r' v L. Mayor Ferry: Because Curtis Park is the easiest way to solve this problem. It is in the works, the Mcnagar and the staff have studied it, they recommend it, 1 think it is the logical thing to do. Mr. Plumtaers The reason I'm asking is that I understand that the county is going to fix up the Tropical Mace Track where they have a grandstand already built. Why fill up Curtis Park to have the county build up another facility? Mr. Andrews: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor and Commissioner Plummer. the commission has alrea.y set a direction and given us the authority to go ahead and at the urgence of the commi...- sion we're working on the plans to develop Curtis Park. Mr. Plunner: I can't see that... Mr. Andrews: Well whenever we reviewed all of this, and I think rather Gibson brought it up not too long ago... Mayor Ferse: Excuse me, Paul. I don't mean to deviate now by getting off on a tangent on Curtis Park, 1 think that's important. But the main thing is this. l will now go back to ay recommendation of the 19th - either we accept the Manager's recommendation and go to grass, and I'a talking about his specific recommendation that we go to Prescript-.1 Lon Athletic Turf which is part of the report or the alternate to that then 1 would l.ca to appoint a committee to study this and come back with a recommendation in a week. We're going to be meeting on the lSth and again on the 20th and then come to a final conclusion by that time.

Now, 1 think we've all pretty much narrowNd it down to grass. Mayor Ferret L'e like to ask this question. Mr. Manager, there was a committee appointed, Mr. Crouch was the chairman cif' that committee. How many members were on that committee? Mr. Andrew's 1 charged Mr. Crouch heading up the committee that reviewed this. tt was reviewed in concert with the user... Mayor Ferret Mow many people were involved? Mr. Andrews* Four. Mayor Ferret There were four, alright, now Mr. Crouch did you travel and go see this Prescription Athletic Turf and did you go to different places? Mr. Crouch: Yes, sir. Mayor Ferret And 1 assure that nembers of the committee also went with you. Mr. Crouch: Yes. in each instance one representative from the users went with them. Mayor Ferret And your committee voted to recomnend this Is that right? ttrass. Mr. Crouch: Mr. Mayor, what we did was we had two, we had a committee and we had the staff report which is the Manager's recommendation. The city staff made recommendations to the Manager which is basically the recommendation to the commission. The Users' Committee could not come up with a consensus and they have each individually come to the commis- sion with recommendations. Mayor Ferret Well they all disagreed as usuat and one wants one thing and the other one wants something else. I might point out for the members of the public that were not present at that time, I asked time and time 'gain on the 19th if there was any objections to postponing this for one yeas and it was stated on the record, on these microphones, that the surface would 1•st for one more year and nobody got up to testify against that so I just want to state th+et that want as%ed on the record. Now as far as I'm concerned, we've had a committee who'n trade its report and I'm willing and ready to go hut if you have any hesitation or the members of this commission then I'ns r,rfc•c•tly willing to appoint a committee provided we come up with an answer certainly by lice 22nd, rlo later. Mr. Ae4rt'w`t* Mr. Mayor and r&•tnbc.r i of the col:tr:li wise, an you make up this time schedule, recognize that woolly gut t.ir.. c•c,ui:traintu if you :Au:mid decide that wv'rc, goLny to navel ah••a'l with rept4cisig this field we have to do it quickly.

Correct, Mr. Andrews? Former City Manager. Melvi;t Itev:;e: 'Mr. Mayor, 1 apologize. You know t can never sit and listen, 1 always have to got un t want to tak tray position as the devil's advocate. I've 1 tvtenect to Prescription Turf , t've read considerably and I've listened to slot of arguri 'nts about artificial turf. to 1969, in 1968, the0range howl Committee Appeared before the Commission and asked theta to consider putting in artificial turf. At that time, the City Administration ;;pant n year :;tt►dyinr, tt. Reluctantly, in 1970, 1969 we started to take bids and so on. in 1910 we came in with a recommendation. I for one was never in favor of artificial turf but after living with it and after :;t•eing it and from what 1 have read about perscription turf, how it is engineered, how it's out in, how We exnected to narrate. ••aad••r in ny awn mind if we're not falling into a questionable area that we did with arti- ficial turf. Perscription turf has not been used in a climatic con- dition equal to Florida. 'i he closet 1 think I!. Mississippi. Mississippi has problems; Detroit, Michigan has problems in one of their perscription turf fields. Now you have alot of problems with artificial turf but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be real practical t0 sit down and explc,r.: the benefits, the pluses on artificial and the pluses on perscription. Mr. Andrews and I hotly know what'n below that turf out there in the ©range Bowl. There's about 14 inches of compacted gravel that was put in, the soil was taken out, that was put in, and then your asphalt on top of that. This was all before your turf went down. Now to put your perscription turf in, you're going to take that out and T would ask the question, what's somebody going to do about Wagner Creek? Unidentified Speaker: The what? Mr. Reese: Wagner Creek which is your drainage creek where your water runs off from the Orange Bowl which has a direct effect on raising the water table in that Orange Bowl in rainy weather• f raise thin; question. What effect is that going to have on perscription turf Undoubtedly the engineers evaluated it ; 1't1 not. 1:nc,wled;tea , le but I raise these questions that need in ny mind or Iv view point, need to be looked at because you're goin;; to .pt•at1 :•50O,000 lc,r rt,ur 1tt•r:,t Cliff irn turf and what the maintenance c•o..t if. ea that, t dc.s,'t iind.••ahted1v that has been looked in and that leas been reported but we can grow grass in South Florida but i, for one, .t►.: suhs:i•1I.iug a tatuitti just to keep mine mowed so 1 know what it costs just on a little bit of grass and I wonder what it's going to cost to keep that growing and keep it operating and I also know that Monsanto Is the only one today that's producing an artificial turf. For Father Gibson's information, M you mentioned about the Stealers field. The Stealers: ax rlayiu Cron tartea turf they had the field covered prior to that game but it happtta�� a squat of wind went through there and tore a '19 to a 40 oo n the tarp, therebytut in tit,• •.s:tt••r. rut!: in .:t ; freeze and they never were able to :wit it oft. it.t:••a't had w • field freeze here yet, that'•, o:1t• plus iu our t a:;.r. ,t artificial or natural t firs , ►:, ,•ut t'► t: 4, A ;' •'•' 1 weer.. l ivint; in South i for lua ,::' '.. t.. t 1 , , • t ..•t the rible:a, ..f tho t .rt ! rt stud h••.I Wt.

Is there a second to the motion? Mr. Plummer: I'll second they motion for purposes of discussion. Now under discussion, Mr. Mayor, before this Commission acts, t think we should know what they're going to do with Tropical Park. They're proposing an 8,000 seat stadium for football out there, why go and build a football stadium at Curtis Park that's not going to be used: Mrs. Cordon: Let me tell you why, J. L.. We have slot of schools here in the City of Miami, they should not be required to go way out to Tropical Park. We should have a convenient facility for use... Mr. Plummer: You're subsidizing school programs: Mayor Ferret You're missing the whole point and the whole point is really very simple; that we, the people of Miami, constitute 24% of the people of Dade County, that we are paying for those bonds; for every dollar that goes in expense, our people, the citizens of Miami, are spending 24C. It's coming from our pocket and yet we are not getting any direct benefits of any direct parks ,and the monies are being spended in the outlying areas which is fine but if we're paying a oroportton, we should get a fair share. Mr. Plummer: T agree, but Mr. Mayor, why build an 8,000 seat stadium in Curtis Park when the facts have shown you in the use of the Orange t, Bowl, it has averagt_d out 3500. Why do you build something more than 'twice what is proven by history that Is needed? 1 don't understand that. Rev. Gibson: Mr. ;Mayor. Mayor Ferro: Father Gibson. Rev. Gibson: I don't want to argue whether there ought to be 8 or 10. t'd like to take the positive .ti pro.tch. There were those on the Metro Commission who were willing eo lend us the money to do the Orange Bowl. Let us be positive; let u:; say, in view of the fact that that was your wish or certain of you indicated. we now have decided to im- prove the Orange Bowl and we would that you give us our proportionate sum of money out of the bond igsue to be used...

Mayor Ferre: 'shank you, Mr. Huttoe. Mr. Huttoe: And 1 would urge you, Mrs. Gordon, to go ahead and Mr. Kouchalakos who is present also has asked me to ask this Commission to so do it. Mayor Ferre: Well, let's see if there's any consent on that. Have we set January the 22nd and February the 12th? Mr. Andrews: You've set January 22nd as the date when we'll have the Workshop and...

Director, Mr. Batley, and 1,1 in an attempt to det+.rrtine what type of Bond Issue tight be to give the Commission and the City the maximum latitude in terms of housing. Very briefly, it is our recommendation that the Manager's report dated January 7th which t assume has been :submitted to you he adopted. There are few selling points that should be made; 1) Without any derogation of any existing agency, there's no new agency to be created here. The liaison would be through Metropolitan Dade County's Little Nut, Mr. Mel Adams has been at the meeting and the Bubsequent discussions and this money, it would seem to me, le capable of producing a substantial number of units; please don't ask me to quantify them because I think it depends on the manner in which we proceed. It is anticipated that this Bond Issue would be limited to the City of Miami rather than Metropolitan Dade County; it is anticipated that the, and this is something that you'd get from Mr. Bailey, that the minas, required would be about a half to two thirds of one toil in order to service that debt and basically we feel that the citizens of this community, frankly, because of the new Supreme Court ruling that every voter can vote whether he's a freeholder or not; when explained the facts will approve this. I point out to you that unfortunately at the last decade of progress bond issue which you referred to earlier when the citizens of the entire community had an opportunity to vote on e,hether to house animals or people - they voted to house aaimals in that soo that's now going to cost as much as a s.ttperdome would probably cost and we still haven't gotten any housing so our recommen- dation is to proceed with the Manager's report, take at good shot at it, get an aggressive information and public relations prog.raa underway and see if we can get it done. Mayor Ferre: Alright. 1'd like to just ask if the C(tmnt,:lion, Rose, if 1 could and I'd just like three minutes; for you to listen to this because I think we've got a very important decision to make. Just follow this for a second. 'itte County Commission has. put. on the March 9th election a $98,000,000 Bond Issue. In addition to that, to the recommendation of Senator Cain, the County Commission has also put on the ballot the increase of salaries from $6,000 .-a year to $28,000 a year. Now in my opinion, those two things will have - those two things, the $98,000,000 bond issue and the increase of salaries will have a serious effect or anything that we would put for the voters to vote upon; that's one consideration. The second consideration is this; the City of Miami is ahead of any other City in the. sewerage program - in Florida we're the most advanced. We're spending about $ 12,000,000 a year in sewerage. We're running out of our sewerage money to about 2 months. We've got to go back to the electorate as we always do to get the next approval for the next group. Now, with those two things being considered. I would strongly recommend as 'Mayor, sitting ing with you here, that we give priority to housing. l agree with Mr. Fine: it's a risky thing for us to do to put it on the March 9th ballot hut with the way thing3 are going, I think that we have t;ot to show in local. government a strong connitient and rs•sspon•; ibi 1 it.•: towards the housing of the people who are in desperatene•»:d for iznu-, it Tlzt r • e' one added advantage to putting; it on the ''t:eh 4th h of fat mild that i ng to what Mr. Cru ,pton a::td '1r.

Mayor Ferre: 1 said that despite this fact that we have... 1 made two points; one that we're up against tt because .;etrn'r putting up a $98,000,000 water bond and two that they're intreaaing their salaries from 6 to 28,000 but 1 think that we've got no choice because if we don't do it now, we're going to have to wait till the rand of the year. 1 think if you and t and father and J. L. and all realty make a commitment to this and go out, I. think the majority of the people of the city of Miami would accept this; 1 really do. l think we'd go out and 1 would be counting on the Chamber of Commerce and people like L. S. GomQz Associates and many other civic groups; the Latin-American chamber of Commerce. 1 want to discuss it; this is a major decisiot% for to make at this time. Mr. Ptu^:mer. ...how 1 feel about these things. No, it's not • decision because the .t.'.:. i ;ion you're asking for is whether to put it to the public and the publtr are going to make the decision. Mayor Ferre: No. Me. Plummer: I never have ever hesitated to put a question to the public. Mayor F'erre: Yes, but that's not the p, int. That's why 1 wanted you to listen because you missed my point. Mr. Plummer: Is the point whether or not I think it will personally pass? Mayor Ferre: No, let the ask the question. The question i . ; do we put it on ?larch the 9th. of course we want it to pas ; it ;rut it on March the 9th or do we wait and put it latLr on in the v.•.t: or do •.:•• put the sewer bond on March the 9th or do we wait until we d i sr't . this fra:Wh0.4e tax which is; under discussion now which tor:.•:, up :et negotiations It. the next 12 months and then there'll be an .' Ivv t i on on that so we have several choicest. To just go out and put it on tt1.• ballot and let the people vote it down, that's a waste of time. Mr. Plummer: Would you like ne to comment? Mayor Ferre: Yes. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor. my comments should be very brief if I can keep them as such. This Commission and prior Commissions to this have a commitment to the people. Unfortunately that commitment, because of the time .wilt not be made. Th.tt commitment is that If by the end of 1976 this City would be 1U0;, se•werc!d. One of the failings of this Commission has always been that you take commitment and before it's; finished you go off on another and you have about '• unanswered and unf inis.hed . Mr. Mayor. I think first and foremost, we bust address nur:;i'lveq to the ;:ewer prnbit'li. That's nun,:►•er one and number two, as far :t't the housing Issue I:. + uncerr."d, ny personal feelings is if you wrap it u+' with th1:: March i•rir!ary plus the amendments from the County, you are go i n !, to Like v •' i s, :t>; t o r; that's my feeting. ,,vct '.'t rt•: Nose, rather, !i;Nitro, how do you fc'el jtt*out it?

However, let's do the best we can, we'll take a run at it. Mayor Ferre: Croce, what do you think? Mr. Plummer: Are you speaking about, Lester, in March or in November? Mr. Freeman: Well, November's going to be an awful national election and you're going to loose the thing; you'll have a chance to get a little bit of publicity in March and you've got a 9 months delay. Minutes, a year, a year goes by before you know it. Grace Rockafellar: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Commission, I'm Grace Rockafellar and i live at 814 NE 71st Street. 1: think as most members of this Commission know, 1 am constantly working with civic groups not only in my own area but in the entire city of Miami and i can tell you right now, there's a concerted effort on in the City of Miami to defeat every issue that Metropolitan Dade County puts on the ballot including the one for water. Now when we had the water under the City of Miami control, it was paying for itself, the minute we turned it over to the County, our rates continually climbed and now they're asking us to pass a bond issue to put water out in northwest Dade when the Mayor said a little while ago; we passed the bond issue for the bonds for progress. We're due 24% of it - to this day we haven't gotten a dime so as far as bond issues are concerned. I don't know whether this would :affect a City of Miami. bond issue but 1[ can tell you this, in all fairness there is a concerted effort to defeat every amendment including this water bond issue for Dade County and that's ray opinion. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, while you're going back to your chair, may l ask a question; Mr. Manager, why isn't on this refer.c:udur+ the additional monies in bonds for tha sewers to complete that job? Mr. Andrews: 1t can be tine ac on th.. January 22nd... ions: for all these things t•i111 b'. pl.lced 'i'('i/:'' there: That':; the point - I want to t1itienss this: 110','.

Mr. Grimm: What you see in white is what's accomplished in the City of Miami today. What you see in green we will have accomplished un- der the 1970 program. What you see in this kind of orange color is what $25,000,000 would do and what you gee in the crass -hatched orange is whist about another $10,000,000 added on to that world do. Mayor Ferre: How about the orange up on the north part. Mr. Plummer: What about the yellow? Mr. Grimm: That coo. That's included in the $25,000,000. This plus this we can do for 25 nr.3 tilts plus this plus thin for 35. :ir. Plummer: Hey And). '.ori' t do it piece meal. Mr. Crouch: ;;.• .s1.. iy . k!o it piece meal. Mr. e l a;mme r : 1 ' n saying, but from the bond stcandpoint, let's get the thing finished. This Commission promised these people of the City of Miami that we would get it done. Unidentified speaker: (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Plummer: Well I'm saying my Lord, how can the construction people talk against it. They're facing auditoriums everyday and... Mayor Ferret I'll talk against it and I'll tell you how I'll talk against it. Let toe ask this; how much federal subsidy do we get out of that? Unidentified Speaker: None. Mayor Ferre: in other words, it coats a taxpayer for each buck we put in, we get a dollar's worth of value. I'm telling you that for a dollar's worth of housing, we'll get four dollars worth of value. lir. Fine: You got a guarantee of that? Mayor Ferret Mr. Fine, there's no guarantee of it but L would be perfectly willing to tie myself up to say that's the only way we would spend it. George Du Breiul: Mr. Mayor, (Or the record my name is George Du iireiul and my place of business is 100 UougtaI4 Rd, northwest City of Miami. I'm here speaking on behalf of the building and construction trades of Dade County which is comprised of 22 unions and approxinitcly $0,000 members. Naturally than unions would certainly be in favor of the bond iesue. t might point out... Mayor Terre: Would we gat a commitment of work from the r embers of the union? Mr. Du krelui: I think one thing; that you have to do, you have to sell this to the people of the City of Mtdtat, tits taxpayer.: sad the way to do this and any time you put soricethiug on with tbo County, there bacomes a, we dun't want to pick up all the agataars against sonethiag for the City. it had to bt so that when this t'ond issue is veld and anyone. and correct me if I'm wrong but if 1 recollect the way we atarted this thing back in 1955 when 1 happened to be a euee,abor of this Board, of your Board. the tray, .enyono that has the septic tanks were out trod they hook auto this, the porno:: then houktn�; onto this pays an add Usual charl;c' for sewer hookup and coaeeyuvntiy, JAM • B V3i6 rho .tr.

'tr. t'lqmmer: Well let me ask this Question, George, and I want an .,nywer from you. I concur with Lester Freeman. 1 think the people of this City have shown in the past on mul•iple bond issues, that they were selective. What do you thin: would be wrong of putting the 25 mil for housing and the 70 mil for the completion of the sewers. Put both: Do you think there's anything wrong with that? Mr. Du Breiul: No i don't and we do have the presence of the building and construction trades here Mr. _ and other members of unions here for another item that's coming up later. Mr. P1uaaer: Yes, 1 understand that. Mr. Du Ilreiul: They can speak for themselves as well. Mr. Plummer: You know, I would hate to see the housing lose and the issue of the sewers not even be approached. Mr. Du Breiul: I think both of them should be done at the same time. Mr. Plummer: I agree. Now what do you speak? Dt, you nay March or do you say the next election? When is the next one? October? isn't there one in October and then in :November? Well there's March. September and November? Would you say, George. the March or the September? Mr. Du Breiul: If it were up to me I think I'd go to the September date because not tying it in and the difference of an election, it's not that much money even though we have to have a special election in September possibly. it's not that much money as the amounts involved in this thing and you stand a chance. I don't think you should get it mixed in with Metropolitan... Mr. Plummer: Yes, I agree. Unidentified Speaker: In of what we're talking about, the probably of whether it'll pass and this election in March or in September or next year is always taking a chance on trying to guess what the pulse of the public is and I don't think that's realty the issue. 1 think the issue is, do you do the job on selling the issue that you've got before the public. Now, there's no more critical issue in the City of Miami today than housing and the concurred problem that goes with it of unemployment in the build/an trades. Here's a chance to solve two problems at one time to get federal stoney to spend in resolving that problem and my Cod, 1 can't imagine why -tnybody'd want to welt...

Mayor Ferret Mr. Gilstrap I'n1 sure wants to say something. Mr. Lloyds May I just make one observation on the court cost. Now remember this, the court cost could include cost for expert witnesses for both Rides, you understand that. It isn't just a 30 or $25 filing fee and a few depositions. The court cost could be fairly substantial, you understand. Mrs. Gordon: Alto, wouldn't you estimate over a 30 year period, it might amount to several million dollars.

Lloyd's intention here. Mr. Martin Fie: Very quickly. I've discussed this with Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Giintrap has given Mr. Lloyd an opinion that he didn't stake. He said he thinks there is some corres- pondence. Mow you'll learn in the first year of law school that the contract is limited to the four corners of the document. The Ordinance speaks for itself.

Mr. Plummer: Are you going to give the Manager the latitude to proceed without know• ing the cost? Mrs. Gordon: I would give the manager latitude to proceed. He has shown us that he is very prudent in spending the taxpayers' dollars and he will only spend a dollar for a dollar that's worth spending. Mr. Plummer: Excuse me, I change my vote - I vote "No". I want to know what it is going to cost. I am never going to beaccused of giving Carte Blanche to anybody off of this commission. Mayor Ferret I think Plummer is right. Rose, t think that the Manager should come back to us. Mrs. Gordon: All right, that we instruct the Manager to negotiate with the person and to come back and tell us how much and we'll authorize the payment then. Mayor Ferret That's better.

I want to E.taart with a very brief over view of the entire downtown study in map form to give the commission an idea of what you're considering today in terms of the comprehensive plan realizing that we're taking this particular ordinance out of sequence and it probably is the most important ordinance in terms of public amenities that the commission will be reviewing in the downtown ordinance. 1 want to start out by...

I think it is quite important to put the floor area ratio in per- spective. If jou look, for instance at New York, You'll find that the maximum floor area ratio is 1S with the potential of bonus provisions that can bring that to 18. This map was prepared in 1974 and, of course, since that time of personal knowledge I know th.1t :setae of the maximunuc have been reduced. But following down you wilt see that Chicago its 16, Baltimore is 8. So what we're realty saying is that we're talking about floor area ratios it is very important to'consider them in terms of the intensity of development in other major core cities. The next series of nap that I direct the cont- tnisr ton•u attention to is the proposed toning nap of the downtown area that Stowe most of the proposed toning districts. If you'll not the district under consideration today Ls the waterfront district which is applied in general along either t is:c,:yne Hay or the Miami River and the DuPont Pima area, that is in error and will be e•h tugeti. The next map shows the proposed t:peciat overlay district that twin-i,ctoss c-c►ttain re:;trict.tuuq in the downtown area to improve dither public amenities or to improve circulation such 45 the re.tri.cticut against curb cute alotsy Biscayne Boulevard; such n:; t:,t• 1an•1!;r 11,r•:i waterfront easement: that runs along Ri:s.:•tyrc fray aesd its ttiem'.

Let's go to the next chart. There are two phases in implementation of the downtown study. The first phase is illustrated by this chart and shows those features of the downtown district that are either mandated or else the districts provide bonus incentives to the developer to provide certain types of public amenities. You'll note that in the downtown area, mandatory requirements arc such items as parking, landscaped streets, lanelscapcd paths along waterfronts, arcades etc. its certain areas. The optional features or ?•anus provisions that will induce .amenities ate such things as residential or mi.:-:d use ltui ldin +15, urban open spaces, throuuch block connetions, arcades imd extra usable open r:p.lce for residential buildings. f.,.w the last chart that I want to show you is what ws;. basically .-approved by the Planning Advisory Lo;,rd last night and relates to the basic bulk regulations and bonus incentives in the district that provide the type of . m.'nit.ies in the downtown district along the waterfront this we are looking for in this particular toning district.

Mrs. Gordon: But they can go up high, ts that it? Mr. Actoni Theta right. In other words the restrictions on lot coverage and the length of buildings dictate that the builder moat go up on height to insure that we will have ground level and upper level viewpoints. I have completed my statement. Mr. Crumptons As M. Acton has said, the ordinance that you have before you today and have received at noon today and upon which the Planning Advisory hoard acted last evening, is contained in this report which you have received prior to December 13, 1973 so at least 92% or better of that ordinance, the Commission has had for review prior to December 13, 1973, so it was only the minor changes that were made last evening that deviate from what was given to you in 1973. am Gordon: The minor changes are to permit a little more density or what? Mt. Cumptont Those changes that Mr. Acton just explained to you. Mayor Ferret I want to make a statement for the record and I want to repf!at the statmeent that I made previous to this hearing that I said at the last meeting and as I have said all along.

Mrs. Gordon: I do not like those numerou , what I call, misunderstood letters that we received, that did not address themselves to the point .and obviously did not know what they are talking about, becausrt the people that wrote to us and said we have a blatant disregard of the needs of our downtown are totally wrong. Absolutely and totally wrong. Mr. Plutmners LE it makes you feel any better hose, I voted for it and they wrote me the same letter. Mrs. Gordon: I do want to say this:. 01, 1 want construction to take place. 02, I want Miami to be a beautiful city to live in. I don't want to be so expedient that I am going to disregard the guidelines for the proper development of oar consmnity. Mayor Ferret THat hasn't been established. Mrs. Gordon: MO had it before us or. Mayor and it has been approved in the fastest fashion I have ever seen in my life, the C3D as recommended 2 years ago by our Planning consultant and with very minor 8% as 1 have been told, changes to the consultants recommendations and I would suggest respectfully that we adopt this C3D on an emergency basis arid we proceed to hear Mr. Nollo's application and we then decide if we are going to change it, that we change it to that classification we have just adopted. That would be my recommendation. We could do both things today.

Ciaughton island did this, there hasn't been a shovel turned over there yet. Unless this C3D is adopted, Mt. Rollo is not agreeing to provisions that we passed Last night. He wants to agree to his own provisions which is a tremendous difference in the F.A.S. from 2.0 which we recommended as a base. Mr. Hullo wants 8. Now this happened as Mr. Acton said on erickell Avenue where they got the F.A.R. they wanted with the understanding that we were going to have residential and commercial. Once they got the F.A.R. and the Zoning, it went ntrictly eonwercial. I know this Commission is dedicated to improving the downtown and bring people there to live but unless you adopt this at thts time, then may r.uggustion is to defer Mr. Hol1o' a application until such tt'ia as this Coe emission can go over this, adopt it and apply it to the C3D, otherwise you have no comprehensive planning. Mayor Ferrer Grace, we ati have opinions on this and I just want to state acne. That piece of property on the waterfront accross the street from the t'lia.,.t herald, next to the Episcopal Church, in a time, in a community where tletropolit.:st: Dade County is everyday, curtailing the development and I think the proper dctvelooment of thus community because they are turning down the adoption of the master plan and thing;e have been rumored, there is no way that thus community c:.at, grow aetisfactarily in a horizontal way.

We want open space. We went puhlic access to the water. Look at Miami Beach. I don't know if you have had time to read our minutes or if the Commission has the time to read our minut cr hut. the Planning hoard level. Kenning Advisory Board level, when we qo out into these areas and hold these public hearings and the ones held in these chambers, our hoard is subject. to ., tremendous amount of criticism when we bring up a comprehensive plan an for the City of Miami. They bring up the fact that we have had coinprehonriver plans, we paid a tremendous price for therm, they have gone on the shelf. It one is developed, and we get this thrown at us every time we turn around - if one is developed. there will always be loopholes created for the special interest groups. One man brought out the fact that we have a developers come here. Do we have cevelopere or do we have speculators. In thib day and aye with their, when they present !.heir cane to you, its very difficult to tell. 1s it a developer or is it a speculator? 1:: a developer gettit►q the zcn►ing to spfculate on selling the land? I think that Mr. hallo did that on the OM7:1 t.ro i`ct. He did not develop it., he hold it. 1f w- havJ re•!,-nsive plan, we are going to have to work with it. � • v. -tl.

It is a pity that at the advent of the Hi-r:cnter►nial Year, we .:ire retrogressing i..stead of ushering in progress. You junt said Mr. Mayor, we cannot get public housing money. If you discourage private :ievelopt.rs, how do you get any housing done in downtown? On the other hand, your approval of the C 11 district with the changes that we have recommended to you June 13, c,•lr downtown would flourish with residential development and provide thousands of jobs in our construction industry. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Hoi1o, would you answer a question for me? Mayor Ferro: No, no, l.c t the man finish and then t will recognise you for questions. Mr. fiolloa For your additional perusal Mrs. Gordon, I would like to submit to all committee members, the same report we gave you June 13, 1975. Mrs. Cordon: Mow many per acre -- Mayor Ferre: Mrs. Gordon, I would like to ask that you lot this gentleman finish his statement and you will have ample opportunity to ask your quc?st i tin:;. Mrs. Gordon: How many units per acre would you be able to bnill with .i.•c•ttrding to your amendment to the planners Cab? Mayor Ferre: Look, are you finished with your statement? Mr. ,Rollo: Thank you ltr. Mayor, I am. Mrs. Gordon: Do you want to answer the question: Mt. Hollos Please pose the question. Mrs. Gordon: The que:yti . n l , how many units per acre would you he able to build With the amendment that the committee recaimende d to they planners proposal? Milt. Hollos Approximately 280. Mrs, Gcrdons A difference of 80 units per acre is the amount. Another question.

Mr. Rollo: Wn are recommending a basic F.A.R. for resideut+all development of 0. Mr:s. Gordon: You would then not have any objection to the inclusion of the combination? Nr.

Mrs. Gorgon: Mr. Mayor, you are a very fine mayor and I commend you for the way you proceed in conducting the meetings. 1 am not faulting you. I am pimply trying to get to the heart of the matter and maybe a little impatient to get to the heart of the matter and I apologize to you if I hurt your feelings. Mr. ltollot Our recommendation as one body, signed and sealed and delivered to you was that we would like to see a basic F.A.R. of 8 for residential developments in the C3D District. Mrs. Gordon: Now we are only 1-point----- Mr. Hollot No 1 am talking about basic F.A.R. - Mr. Acton was talking about. the total F.A.R. including bonuses at 7. Mrs. Gorc.on: Would you eliminate the bonus f :..tor? would you take that approach? 'tr. Rollo: I would give :,mall bonuses for public amenities and open space over ,tea .deer,- t h,a 8 . A. k. Mrs. Gordon: Thats a lot more - Mr. Hollot I don't know whether its a lot more, but probably about S P.A.R. more than the planning staff was recommending. Rev. Gibson: 2 things that bother me. 01, we have a planning and zoning board. All the other folks have to respect them and deal with thew) whether they like it or not and when they voted, they voted a 4 to 3 vote. I listed attentively to what you said because 1 understand that you are a man with a passion. You don't mean any wrong, that's just you. I am thinking now in terns of your description, of that Planning and Zoning Board. You didn't call it that but that is what you meant because these were the people who did the voting last night and did not do what you recommended. The day we fail to recognize and deal with them, than day, I say that we ought to leave these chairs we are in because then we don't need theca. Because they have the responsibility of the overall city. I understand what you are saying but I am troubled that apparently we don't have .l point of compromise or medium but lir. Mayor I would be derelict in my duty. 'L'Hat lady that no many of you have been asking about earlier? Who is that lady? That lady represents - she is the Lec131 arm of tlro Diocouo of South Florida, that monster that you are going to have to doel with. Miss Massey, please introduce yournelf. Mrs. Massey: Thank you Canon C:ibson. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I hate to interrupt ?MI but there is Imamething that has been said and I am not fjghttne ageinst Mr. Hallo but I want it understood Rost So then, in no misunderstanding. The recommendation George, or the depirtsaent I aosume and that of the Zoning Ward, without bonuses, the P.A.K. in residential is 2 - not 7 , they aro 4 apart and lots don't have any a eiesundifretanding. I think that wars the point lir. Holto was trying to make. With bonuses, yogi can go from a 2 which is recommended up to a 7 but they aru recommending an 8 and Owl t)ontv;es3. 10 I:•: v. Gibson: Go you say, begin wit 1t It. t. ,,r 1 ,w :;ays you begin with 2, is that right? Mr. Actn'-t That is the recr,:nmt:ri•1tion, yes. Rev.Gibsont He says begin with R, you say begin with 2. He gays that the maximum ought to be 7 which is less than the beginning point for you.. Tell me, what would be your maximum? m m? Mt. llollot 1N are recommending a composite P.A.R. in the C3-t1' District according to your wishes to have dense residences with some commercial infused in that, which is the proper route to take. It would have a combined 10 F'. A. R. Rev.Gibsont You see Mt. Hollo what I wa:,t you to understand for me is i like all those folk out there. Now you and Mt. Acton and hose and Plummer are on parody because you have been on the planning and zoning boards. Those people out there by and large except Mrs. Rockefeller- you see what i asked you, if you had responded to that in plain and simple terms, they would have understood what was•: All I am saying is, his beginning point i:; 2 - your beginning Point. is B.

Mr. Hollot Canon Gibson, I mentioned and I have said several times daring this evening - basic F.P.R. - that is ray proviso, and that is what this Commission has to address itself to. Ms. Massey: I am highly flattered by Canon Gibsons remarks in regard to my legal ability and Mr. Rollo has expended his kind words. I am not a courthouse lawyer. t am a professor of law. I am not engaged in litigation. 1 do not accept legal fees. I lived on a fixed income paid by the University of Miami and anyone can read mt 1040. I am here pro bono publico. I represent the City and I live in this community, I at a Floridian, I want it done and I want it done right. i don't want the church hurt.

I don't want to see another OMNI. As far es I was concerned. there was fraud. Not in the legal sense but in the moral sense.

Did you used to enjoy the view from Jordan Marsh?

The 4-3 vote last night. You don't even have the minted. You don't have the advantage of knowing the fine open diacustiian which Mr. Nollo was compelled to leave for other reasons, an hour before these good citizens sat and talked last evening and tried to cohesively hold together and not defer. I have never seen people work any harder than I saw thin group work last night. I urge you to read the minutes of that meeting. We made some pretty silly stateeentu but an the whole, the heart was in the right place end that is what I think all of ure want now. We want to put it together, come together, do it right and not pick anybody's picket.. Mot nit-pick anyone and get the whnlc' thing moving and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and the Diocese of Fouth'•aat Florida will 40 everything in its power to cooperate with Chit; City and Mr. Holto as we t►avoe from the beginning and wu ::hall continue and I thank you.

Mrs. Gordon, I would like to address thin to you. As a politician's,* Mrs. Gordon: A public servant. Mrs. Rollo: 1 am sorry. is it insulting as politician? Mrs. Gordon: No, its just what I call myself is what I am. Mrs. Rollo: I would think that it would be very gratifying to get letters frog the public. They can't always agree with you but even if they care enough to write to you, that it should be something that should be gratifying to a public servant. Mrs. Gordon: Yes Ma'Am, may I answer you to the latter question? I appreciate hearing from the public, when the public writes me and when they are not prompted vIth fal. information. : W011 h„:1* 1() ytt4 know they were prompted with false information? ,I• : c.f those people and they told ne and they told me exatly----- Mrs. Rollo: Are you accusinn Mrs. Gordon: I never knew what it wat. ail ahnat av!i: y ,-ailed tnt. and explained to as that you dld not have an ordinance that y14 . wIth.

They could have read it in the paper and got the wrong impression but they got the wrong impression. Mrs. Hollos but 1 don't think in the way you are inferring, that it W44 a false allegation and I have to say that T have hat here for q years and listen^d to oy husband come before you.

We talk about and maybe we can't reach a decision today r,:1J 1.,erh.tps this may hurt the church, I am not here representing any church or anybody :else. I am here representing unemployed people who would like to go to work. As 1 uncle r:;t.lncl whet I have hoard here today, we have got a person here that is wil.lir,g to }wild -r.•e! 111iildings. And Housing. Just a few minutes ago, this Commission pass-.t ii resolution to try to get some money to build some housing. Thie *man wants to 1,ei1d some housing. He is not asking for any tawny from anybody. 1 don't know where hp in providing his capital from but he is willing to provide that capital to buil.J hoti:ing and we are saying we can't do it yet because the plans aren't just right and we h-tven't agreed on what we are going to do etc. Al 1 I am saying, is I am urg i t.g this Commission to think in terms of "lets get something going in this t-c.wn" and if we are thinking about our city in terms of the people that live in it, I can tell you that most of them are unemployed. The ones I am concerned about. A happy citizen is not one who is unemployed. Maybe had his unemployment completely exhaur;te t to look forward to his health insurance being paid for by a welfare plan of his organization which he is not qualfied under because maybe he hasn't worked fur a year. '.horse are the kinds of conditions we are looking at today. It amazes me that we .trc here with much heated arguments about whether its 7 or 8% or whatever we are talking about in zoning area and how disastrous: its going to be to the city and we are talking about 1 piece of property. When we talk about the acres, we are kidding ourrrelves. Its not how many units per acre, we know where that piece of property is, ai,1 we are talking about building it up in the air. To me talking about how many,pc!0ple per acre is a little bit ridiculous on that one situation. I would just urge all of you to keep in mind, the City of Miami. and particularly the people who live in the City of Miami, all of them and move forward in a process to get this thing under construction as quickly as possible. Rev. Gibson* Trinity Cathedral is the home of all those churchpeopte and according to the law, we have as much right to protect that home as you have to protect your home and the quicker we Dome down hers and understand that all of our castles are sacred to us, the bettor. I understand what you are haying and I want to add this and stop. I am a part of that group of people who would be r..oat in ,:umbers - unemployed and with all of that, I still must think first, what is good for the overall City of Miami and that leans people. ?'r. Scheer: It seems to ate that what this finally boils down to is that the objections are by the church. I ant entirely infavor of ehurchee. I know r t:..• t h. rt is a definite need for churches. fly the same token, I ate t;ure that all w•,ulri like to build a moat around our property.

Mayor Ferret I noticed you were one of the 3 that voted against this. ltrs. Alexander: I voted against it because someone wanted to defer it because we felt we were getting very, and then I didn't really vote to defer. I vote against it because the amendments that / proposed were not accepted so I voted against it and these are the same amendments I would proopose, which would be larger walkways and certain changes in the F.A.R. that I didn't quite agree with. Mr. Aaron: Hy nacre is Ralph Aaron, I have sat on a umber of that -my name is Ralph Aaron and 1 own sons property down here in Coconut Grove.

Now there are ehurt run goal ob jeutives and long term but right now, we have short te`rrt no - di and values. I would like to suggest because I heard a woman hcl:•k h::rc` talking About. hc'r 1040. t would like; you to take a look at the 1040s of the construction workers and the mortgage people in the last 2 years. Take a look at their 1040 and see what they have come up with and they have fixed obiigationa,mortgage payments, taxes that have gone up on their realestate. They don't have the privilege of having built in increases in salary like our civil servants here, they have got to roll with the times and they have got families to support. Let me say one more thing about this church over here. If you take a look at any of our major cities, New York, Boston, San t<'ritncisco and a few other vibrant places, you will sec; that these churches are quite often, tucked in with high density office and residential development. somehow they make it, they look charming and they are in there. What we have here is a situation where we want the church to have its viability and its distinctive status on the site ut the expense of the growth of the downtown which for various reasons did not take place in the downtown. Therefore, its leapfrogged up to where it is stow. One Mere steps As an ultimate decision, and you have heard some committees here talk about defer this because we haven't decided on it. When you make your final decision, I ask you to do 2 things to assuage yoir c:o n ci.•nccs because I think you do have a conscience even though you ar' j.,.,itic►an:: and that is take a look at the oppressed families of blacks. coders}, whatc. wnrk••t•: t;'ui are r.•a11y hurting in thi., town. 1 have seen men cry and f ami 1 i.•-. t };a t. • .tt.' t Le f •• 9 0',1 when }•.+.i have dr' t• that ir► weighin. your Je,z i s i n, 1:, one..:Ur•' ' }i : r:y. !:o to :.tn :' nine* c.: o and take a look at that downtown and really see :.orb. t h ir. ;.

Mr. Du Trieuls My name is George Du arioul, 803 Anastasia, Loral Cables; but for 45 years previous, I lived in thy+ City of Miami and lied the i,riveles•;c of serving with one of the Commissioners fathers for B years. in that t•ir:`.•, I know what everyone of you are going through and I recogni::ce also that the tire-. is gutting late. One of the major things wu accomp1 it:`lc'.l in my period of .levies on the commission was tha podgia Island F,c+apcir•t Platt. Part of thi . !vide- 1 ll.,ncl Seaport Plan was to stove that area out t'ct whore it in torli,y. tv.• were 1 •,1t ever the had by ona of our major newspapers thet this. wr1': C1�•_wr;v t is• ,•�:s and 1 have editorials in my office s:cyiwi this and ou Se'1,�• tom'? t, 1 ,it: ,� :t •r oditoridsi, saying 15 years later, that this w...; ctt:ct of tsu,- was over a:comp1Lshed lv in the City of Miami and whoever started it r>h., ,l.i t . . year award. t am not after a flan of the year award:, 1,1' t ., accomplished that. Mayor ferret Did they ever write an editorial saying that? Mr. Du lirieult Oh very definitely, I have 3 copies of it. +h.•y were opposed to it in the beginning and now they are very much for it. The purpose that I am trying to Say is now that the Dodge Island Seaport is; out there and we have cleared up all the mess of the Dodge Island Seaport and all that green area for our park from 13th street to Du Pont Plaza, that is part of the overall plan of why the density can be so much greater. What they are hot taking into sonsideration. Look to the cast and you see the beautiful Biscayne hay. We have got that entire park area there today that was to prepare for Cho lams buildings we had planned along Biscayne Boulevard, the downtown core area etc. Tttat is the purpose and that will be accomplished thanks to this }-.resent aotttstission as well. Also, one of my problems of living in the City all my life and also serving, when you look to the west of that and ladies and gentlemen of this Cotmaission, that used to be my paper route, 15th street to the Venetian Hotel. i feel very strongly about this, unless you put commercial area along with residence, exactly what Mr. Rollo said earlier, its moving out tcs otter areas. I want to thank you for this opportunity to appear before you and t know it is growing late. Mrs. Gordon' May I speak Mr. Mayor? I think we can wind this up. Mr. Walkingtont Walter Walkington, 1 live in the City of Miami, 2248 N.W. 4 Terrace. I grew up in this city. I was educated in the schools here with my education in the vocational trades and I work in the trades. I first come tc, you as a citizen of the City Of Miami realizing the situation that we have at hand in regards to growth and unemployment. I have got to concur with feelings that we are not growing. We are holding ourselves back. The principle at hand i:: proper environ- mental but still and all, we arc not growing. An opp-rtunity too put tnlether a city well planned is *1 dnd I think the intent of cw^rybody here. its like two railroad tracks running to the same place. One has one ideal and the .,rher has got the other. Today we are looking at a situation we have to evaluate. 41 a City of growth. 15 years ago, we were crying for people to cc ie here. AAR were building ourselves out and growing. Now whether we wore planning to take Weire of these people or not is something else but today the growth is s:ti l i lure for all, for a lot of people that still want to come south and enjoy the wea r of the world right here in Miami. Now we have an opportunity, the begiitni of it right here wit,: this one project. 412 - I come to you now an the president of a union. Lathers Local 34S. I have to concur with the previous npeaker. the gentleman that spoke in behalf of the carpenters and also the president of the building trades in regard to the unemployment situation. 8O% of ay organisation is unemployed. When t: see construction turned down day in and day out and day in over some reason for birds, alligators and what have you and even the snakes go along with it, we have got to stop and cc.nst.:,±r, are we concerned with the people, with the growth of this city or are we going to .it back on a few principles about what is going on for just that? The growth of this city is at hand and the economi.-s of this city is at hand. Money has got to circulate and people have got to make a living. Evaluated as anybody would see it, a wheel has got to have all of the i:pokes. We aro looking at a city right now with potential untold but if wog don't evaluate starting with the growth and knowing what we have and the acanonies. We have more here than just what is to be seen. I saw an 82 year old man that w'•nt through hardships whereas economics took hold of the situati c.'s and there wasn't a dollar to go around. Reports came to my union last night o: people that had to do without chriutaaas. Some people are doing without their meals tonight. Aro we all in that same category? We have an oppor*unity to work together and evaluate. A lady stood here that said ehe was on a i,l.us►st s►g comrittee. She said she was looking for certain things that: wont along with an area that did not constitute the full meaning of what is being discussed. We talk about religous aspects in a church. I have seen some beautiful churches *to by the way when they put in the exprens:way:; all over thine town. Wo have to right to keep the growth of Nisttni growl rsq. pi 0450 I auk you to evaluate thin when you come to your decision. Mts. rarcidn: Mr. Mayor, 1 thitt< t ..An w. .i the 1 l think t have a rntuti�ah if you will allow ne . tt11 i would be my reco"L"ll!Itdat.i tt.

I also voted for the Florida East Coast Application ,.nd that was to put an industrial park in operation out in the Okeechobee area. I want the record straight. I under. stand zoning and planning and do my beat to do what I understand for the benefit of the community, With regard to the application before us tonite. it would be my recommendation !•'r. Mayor, Item #33 not be considered by that *34 be passed. 034 is an emergency ordinance. 033 is the same ordinance on a 2-reading basis. 2 tneetinya apart. I re_osi'rend that we pass #34 on an emergency basis which is the ordinance that was ! • omr. ended by the Planning board last night. That is the only way we could act 1 3i:a11y tonight. That is the only ordinance we have before us that we understand aria tt:,• can work on. Now, ordinances can be attended. If we put an ordinance on the trek w.►h .;.)7:1N more further study, if found unfeasible, we could amend it but at least w. .14 t,iv•- point of ht:ginning and we could Hove forward on the second thing whic`. wo.: + i,. • ; ,_;<: rt r.. e'6.

Mayor Perre: 34 is the one passed by the Planning it-.,r .1 1 ...t niqnt . Mrs. Gordon: As I said before, with all reasonableness with reason,,.,: p.•c+p1c, w' can, we could consider studying and attending it, we could do r:ors.'thinr, further with it but we will not by stymied, we will not be hanging in the air with out feet tou,.hing the ground, we can at least walk. Rev. Gibsont Mrs. Massey, have you read what she is talking about. Mrs. Massey: Yes Sir, I have, I was at both hearings and t rrtayed up all night reading all the master report and every bit of the raterial. Mrs. Gordon, there is one specific problem I will point out to you that we were unable because we were all tired and hungry last night and I for one, had not eaten all day either. THat is for example under the proposal, there could be 5' of parking garage on 15th street built on the borderline, solidly blocking the cathedral with no air space whatsoever and then ascending upwards. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Acton, would you please speak to that point. Mr. Acton: That is true. Her statement is true. There is no requirement for commercial setbacks. I beg your pardon, there is a 25' requirement in the rear yard but there is ----- Mr. Rollo: I would like to state the following current *ening existing on the property. "create to do on the sai.ie yard. I can go on the Ride yard and build a b1.rn': wall as hics010,11t 4111prh44 currant zoning i have - Cl. bit::. Gordon: I understand. Lr. .

I have to clarify the position bec.:uja the permit we are taking out tomosruw on the C-1 could go up Quite high without any of the emenities Rev. Gibson: 1'b9r heautttul thing in that hu can't de that other thing. e ..aer' OP Lets tell the other side of it. Tits. Gordon: Yes but he i:; not gnirta t.o cjet that monstrosity as you termed it before an enormous buile .ng o st of 1.1roportion to the church. kev.Gibsont Rose, they aren't going t.o none of that, you know better than that. You and i are too intelligent. I don't want to cut off the debate. If you don't want to be reasonable, just tell me so i can go home and sleep because I don't have anywhere to go. Mrs. Massey* Canon, Mrs. Gordon, I think we are finally reaching the point where we are conciliatory. We feel about the building trade, the unemployment, the beautification. Now i think its a matter of somehow, can we come together. Mrs. Gordon: Dr. Massey, would you approve the procedure that. T recommended? To take tonight? Dr. Massey: I cannot in the best interests of the cathedral and the diocese. Mrs. Gordon: Could you go that route if it were not an emergency and there was a second reading and time to look at that part? Dr. Massey: Yes Ma'am. Mayor Ferrel There is a lot more involved in here, with all due respects to Ted Rollo than just that particular piece of property. You are ith!►ut:, arbitrarily. here without the public hearing to absolutely change the whole future, trot of thi building but of hundreds of buildings that are to come. If thin thing passes, in my opinion, you are absolutely at this stage of the game, uniasn we think this over very carefully and change some basic things. This is the death knell of the downtown area. This is the death of downtown. Don't you understand me? Mrs. Gordon: Mayor are you suggesting you want something more restrictive than this put on the books? Are you saying that? If you are not saying that, they: what you are saying is felecitious. Its not true. Dr. Massey: Mr. Mayor, as I understand you, you are saying that we should have a uniform policy, equitable zoning and testimony should be taken in all regards. Mayor Ferro: No, no, no, I am not saying that. Dr. Massey: I misunderstood you Sir. Mayor Ferret I am saying that the proposed Wallace, Mc Nara report as I have read it and studied it for the past year, from the first time that I read it, it is so restrictive and so confining, that it will not in the long run, achieve that what it is supposed to achieve, because it will not act as an incentive to an anything. It will act as a restrictive covenant that will keepanybody people from putting up buildings in downtown Miami. There is no reason to put a building in cowntown Ni.ami. Thera is no reason to upend and pay somebody $30 or $40 a square foot when you can buy property for $10 a square foot a few blocks away and do the same thing. Thereioro whet it will end up doing is dissdpete the very effort that we have been trying to achieve. What. we are trying to achieve is to try to g©t and please forgive me, people who an. ,u; for li.:h as T,nd Rollo to go out and risk their money u:►d t ti i r capital. 1 wa:►t to toll you that eNb.rV r• t -,r ii.lilciirg.

Gordon: If you want me to uttswor the question, I'll tall you the why's. Mayor ferret Its because there is no economic incentive Mrs. cordons Its because the place is smothering in cars. That's; why. Because it,: too intensely developed, that's why. People don't want to go down there. That's why its smothering and that is why its failing. Mayor Ferret Too intensely developed? How about San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Cincinatti, Philadelphia. They have more cars !n downtown Miami and they are not smothering. Kxplain the logic of Atlanta to me. Why is Atlanta? Ur. Masssyt Because the Peachtree Development Plan was well thought out, carefully worked out with air space and living space. Mayor Ferret Sy a developer. Dr. Masssyt I am well aware of the contraccor and the architect and the developer and i was there quite recently. Mayor Ferret Then if you are aware of it, you know that the whole operation had an open end. Those people did whatever they wanted. They went 40 and SO stories high and that they got bridges accross streets and that they got all kinds of amenities that would take years and years. Certainly the Wallace Mc Margo you could not build San Frrncisca, Atlanta under that report. It could not he possible. In answer to your question - Dr. Massey: That is a difference in value judgment Sir. Mayor Ferret That may be, but I happen to like large cities. i happen to like New York, Philadelphia in Penn Center. I think what they are doing in the core of Boston is exciting. I love Copley Plaza and Cincinatti. I like what they did in Kansas City. Dr. Hassey: We can do it here in Miami if we just don't rush and we try and balance it out and be fair one to the other. Mayor Ferree: Dr. Massey, the Crown Center, The St. Louis Development, the Pittsburgh Mellon Center, the ford Center in Detroit. All of these major core community developments in the core could not be built under any of these pleas. WHat this is, this is the groundwork for the destruction of the development of anything in the downtown area. We are jus.:- Dr. Hassey: I devoutly hope you are right and I am wrong. Mayor Ferro: Well, you think by passing this we are going to really act in inducing anybody to develop anything on this property? Pr. t:asrtey: I think by spot zoning when you lsavo no policy or you lack equitable zoning and your testimony is conflicting aral you hays 4 different report: and we don't spend the time to work it out, we will ask for disaster. I iyor Perrot Dr. Massey, I would Like to remin,i you that the City of lioeston his absolutely no getting whatsoever. In the times I hat: bon in flat:;'.on, it is, so far superior in zoning to Miami, in my opinion - Dr. Massey: I agree with you Dir. Mayor Perces And there is no toning. How how can that happen? Let ate gtvt' you my answer to it. The beast zoning in thy+ world ie uconcemic logic. Us. smineys And good will. Pi'opia who wilt rev:,ct good judgat'nt and 9acid. t:clste. N.syor Porous thousands of pc+ople putting up buildings in HOustt•on- Ds. Met says geustea is a dlffertttt situation. WO haven't hit the ail ytrt. . . 11i Mayor Ferret 1 don't want to get into a big debate. Dr. Masseyt 1 don't either. Mr. Hollot tar. Mayor, I was the appliean'. and I was about 5 Minutes. Mts. Massey usurping it for the last hour and a half. Mayor Ferret Sae has the right to speak. We will let you speak too. Mr. Bryant: My metre is Thomas Bryant, 2 live at 1230 N. W. 13 Avenue. I have been a resident of Miami for 47 years. I w-is born here. I have seen Miami grow from 3 room shacks to concrete jungle. I have seen speaking of churches, a church that I helped dedicate, accross the street there is a bar, but nobody thinks about the beauty there. Today, this gentleran ir, asking that something be done to help beautify this Cit}. I want to see thin City beautiful. i have B children and I want them to grow up on a beautiful city, not like the one I VOW up in. i am speaking for 4000 laborers that are out of work too. We need the work. If you people would be so kind a, to pasn this ordinance, it would help a lot of families. Thank you. Mr. Collins: My name is Bruce Collins, 3668 S.W. 2nd :teen. Although the firm that i work for does represent the Carpenters Union, they hive reprelaented them- selves. I will speak as a private cittcen. There i one ito:. that must bear upon your consideration in the downtown density. That is the prc.poE.ed rapid transit system. Without an enormously increased downtown dev,lopmkent, that system will be a millstone around the neck of Dade County, if its ever built. You teed approximately 100,000 to 200,000 jobs downtown in corder to make that a viable system. The proposal under Mc Harg, willnot enable that concentration. It is something you trust consider.. With such a proit•.'t as tyr. Rollo proposes which combines commercial and residential, is in it. with the test thinking of the planners at Brookings Institute, for one. 1 urge that dcrrranny be puta:.idk ani that a Coamittee to work a little bit better approach to they d..n,ity thin till. Mc Barg plan calls for. Mrs. Gordon: Bruce, what you said in effect is that we should defer this item. Is that what your saying? I as trying to get action so we can get something done. Mayor Ferret At what price? Mrs. Gordon: Ilo price. Ordinances are amendable Mr. Mayor, as you well know. You have something to begin with and then you can go from there. It you don't have a beginning, you don't go anywhere. We can also adopt this on a first reading and you can have a second reading at the next meeting. Mayor Faris: Mose, i have a lot of respect for you but stop playing gars. You are playing a game now. Mrs. Gordon: Well, then you want to defer it? Nobody is going to say Rose Gordon deferred it, that's for sure. Mayor Ferret What you are saying is, you want this? I want your arm, your right arm. Just to gain my left hand, I are not.going to give you ray right arm. That is what your proposing. You are saying cut oft your right arm and T will give you a left hand. That is one hell of a price that you aro saying that you require do that we can proceed with the project and what you are saying is Mass the C3-0 and with that we can pass Mr. Holto's project which you are for and what you are saying is - destroy the future of the downtown area so wo can- tors. Gordon, That is not true. You ar.2 only talking about 1 zoning classification and it only pertains to th4 waterfront: ac:•1 you have very little waltorfroht .area besides this that is going to be coriLad.:re1 in that classification. Vory little. Most of its park land eiu the water. Mr. Collins: Naturally as you have hcs4rd, the Catponters union is anxious that the building get underway. itlhatcver La tha most f•a-.ihlo path. Mayer Ferrol You are affecting all of the area. thg• liven area up on the top from Paoe Park down to the Rambler property au3 all of the property whore th-! Miami Ner a1d psoparty is next to it.. In that correct? ThAn you art* affecting all of the property that is alum the rivartrcust. Mrs. Gordont Point to the pits (on c'a ,r►-) t ijt ww.111 e7t..ntually it adopted d au C3-r), wou.lrl become C3--G. ;hit. 1 n)t• .t11 r< ,.10r,.:a+::y rra in r buok. That allows for open space along +-.he water, walkway. , gar •.aT.k:.,, cl:i••isis t'.•3 that we went. our waterfront to have. Mr. Holiot Its all of the residential density. Its all or the residential cktnaity that you are talking about Mrs. Gordon. Mrs. Gordont Its going to be beautiful development. Mayor Ferree That is your opinion. in my opinion, you will be killing any future development in that area. Do you agree wit* that ttr. Io11o? Mr. Hollot Absolutely! Mrs. Gordon: Is it impossible to amend an ordinance^ Since wh,,n? Mayor Forte: What you are :.aying is pass it now, even though you know it in wrong. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Rollo wants to put 4000 men to work. Mayor Ferre: And therefore, you are saying that is your. price. Cut your right arm off - Mrs. Gordon: You have no other alternative. You have no other classification to apply to this property that will permit construction to take place. Mayor Ferret Mrs. Gordon, you know just as well as I do that there is a legal avenue that can be taken on that particular piece of property. Mrs. Gordon: Impossible the way you are saying it now. You are saying that they are going to create a thing that does not exist and call it be a name that this ordinance has. That is not true. You are going to say to build it under Cd3. Mr. Plummer: As proposed would you build? Mr. Moll*: No way! Mr Gershens My name is Lester Gershen, 3301 N. E. 5 Avenue. I live in a highrise building that is right on the bay. i have seen the progress of this town for many years and as some of the people have pointed out, one of the big faults that they did on the Beach was they let people build wall to wall concrete. We are talking about Miami right now and one of the things that is being talking about is preserving the river walk etc. Just on a past record, Mr. !!olio has core to the Commission yearn ago and he was the first builder in Miami, I would say to provide in his plans and execute it, a river walk. It now exists at the Rivergate Kara. You have a walk there and all it is waiting for is to be connected to sons other developer or some other builder or buildings that will continue that river waik. In addition, when Nt. Nolto came to the Commission at that tine, he had to have a variance in order to build the Rivergate Plaza. All of you I think are aware and have seen Rivergato Piasa. It is one of the Karst beautiful buildings in Miami. Mr. !folio not only gave the amenities that he promised, he also added tennis courts and sauna baths. The first building in the south to have such amenities. Mat I an trying to bring out and I am addressing myself to Dr. Gibson. From your comments, you sewn to have thought that Mr. Iloilo was in:strutneutal in caking a nonstrosity out of OMNI. tint so! O NI is not through with their project yet. I believe that When th,- project is through and the lawlseaptn•3 in dc+no, trees pleated and the other l:..rt of tlt.. paop'rty developed, that the area is yning to be one of the most beautiful l'.irt;. of elani and will halo a beginui..3 of the development of downtown Miami. I urg- .all of you to hleaues allow Mr. lie.] to to proceed with his project and let the ro-n. ;ttwn of construction develop cluwntown Miami. Nr. Uollos Mr. plunnser, to au wc•r four earlier qurstiun. I must Add to it noavthing. You added rft4 if 1 can build it with this urdinan^o. t Ewid to you 1 could eat build it with this ordinance but I would bulld it with the amendments that our committee t eeca paraded. • tdr. Plummer: I was; trying to be very Lri_•f and that was, as proposed here now, that we pass this, you ar.: not , )ir:4 to build. Mr. Hallo: That is correct. Mayor Ferrer I want to add, that not only will Mr. Iloilo not build but nobody else in his right ttaind would build. That it exactly what we keep -- we are playing a game around here and it is a game of tnirrora that sometimes is very self -pleasing but its not very close to the reality of the situation. Ms. niche I am Doris J. Rich, I am a resident of the City of Miami. My husband and I have an interest in 515 N.F. 15 St. which is 2 lots away from the property wider discussion. I have a deep and abiding interest in the total community and especially in that general area. i believe in downtown Miami. From the house in which t live, i can and I do walk just past the property under discussion. i want it to be useful. i want it to be viable. i beg you not to pass a piece of an ordinance, a piece of a package. You will ruin the whole concept. The most important thing is it should be economically viable and beautiful and it can't be one without the other. it seems to ate that your only course of action tonight is to forget about the total soninq of the area, forget ab ,ut. the total package, you can't do it tonight. Give this nen the zoning change he has asked for and let him build the building. there is nothing the matter with density parse if density is beautiful. Me has done things already that are beautiful.. What we need is someone you can effectively and economically build the building that will function and make our downtown what we want it to be. I am dismayed at the time we waste. 7 thank you for the effort you put into it but for Gris sake do something! Pass the voninj change and let t►im build the building! Mayor Perrier Well all right, I think we have talked this thing out now. DMetntyres Can I ask one technical question as one of the- tho ,••;,',rt that the consultants that were paid a reasonable fee carte up with r uughl y 7 or S on their plan. Mr. Hollo's group determines that thy no, t tip to 15 to make it econonomically viable. Higher this consultant lid .. v,•ry i•uc,r job or there is something rotten somewhere. Why is there that 1414 ,, difference? Mayor Ferro: Let me answer that this: w t, . «o paid another coesultant twice as much or 3 times as much to make anoth•_ t ,, r.ort and that particular gentleman came all the way from Athens, Gree-e. He odd an office that was larger than these chambers and the editor of our daily periodical went to visit him and he was just thrilled by this wonderful yi -ture window that Dr. Doxiedis would push buttons and the curtains would ope.r. ..ad there ways the Acropolis. This fantastic fires was doing work for India, nraailia, Detroit and Miami. The package that came from those geniuses is sitting on a shelf. Not the first thing of that report has been implemented and we spent over $350,000 of our taxpayers to make an absolutely fabulous report with the most beautiful pictures and if you look at it, first of all there is a concrete curtain. Where we are now building a park is a solid cos.. r,•te of 30 story high buildings that go right down the middle of that park. That was but one of Doxiadi3's recom;aendations. The other one was that he was going to completely cover Biscayne 8oulovard. It was to become a tunnel. That was going to cost $403,000,000 and at that titsw, those learned gentleman who were: eo, who are the iron Quixotf.h of beauty and ecology and what have you, went full stream editori.'.. y in favor and in nuyport of the DoxLadis plan.

D. McIntyre: I think we ought to see the figurers laid out in a chart for to toll us how much of an F.A.R. is necessary in order for Mr. Rollo to build his project and how much is necessary for anybody else in downtown to build their project. I find it hard to believe that there is as much of a difference in the reality of those figures of 100%- Rev.Gibaon: Mt. Mayor, I think that I want to answer one question. When the Nash people bought that property, I think Trinity Church was there. Trinity ::roved from where Gesu is, its the general area. 1 want to tell all the newcomers this. Trinity helped to make his town and they deserve some consideration. Now Nr.

Mr. Andrews: We have presented you with a great deal of information as to why we believe that there is still a problem as far as double taxation. This is particularly exemplified in the manner in which the fire services of Metropolitan Dade County are being carried out in 2 different budgets. leased particularly on the fire service, I am recommending that we follow the processes that have been developed for us by the city attorney in which we will - Mr. Lloyd: The legal vehicle would be a petition for a declaratory decree and an accounting. Mr. Andrews: Seriously, this is too difficult a subject. Lets postpone it for another 2 weeks. Mr. Plummer: Its a very r;thp,e decision. The issue is very clear cut. Mr. Andrews: The issue is very clear cut in my mind and that is that the declaratory decree would be based on 1 issue to begin with and - Mayor Ferro: Very simply, t.},.; legislature established a procedure for us to move. on. We have followed the procedure to the "T". I have personally along with th- mar.ale r gone before the metro commission. I have asked for relief. We hav melt in a L;eries of meetings. We have written memorandums. We have been answered. We !live been officially turned down. The premise is simple. The county is rendering a service to the people of the unincorporated for which the citizens of Miami are paying. They are getting no benefits for that service. That is double taxation. It is simple, it is clear and my position could not be clearer. I do n nk the citizens of Miami should be paying for services they are not receiving I subscribe to the theory, now that we have gotten to the end of the b The only recourse we have left is to go to court and ask the court to hear our case in one specific, blatantare* and that ie the fire services renders l to t ho outlying areas at the expense of the city taxpayers.

Mt. Plummets The County Manager recommended that this matter he handled in the same way as a separate budget was prepared for additional i.:licr personnel only serving the county in the unincorporated areas, was his rec.,:,mendation that this additional cost for fire service be taxed in the same manner. Mayor Perris I also want to state on the record so that there is no question. I don't want this to be in any form, a criticism of Ray cyoc, J©. Ray Goode under- stands what we are talking about. Ray Goode was the first lersan in Metro who not only recognised the principle but did something about !t: and as you know, 3 years ago, in his budget report he recommended :end they Comlion followed the principle that the outlying areas would carry the burien o: the services they uniquely and specifically receive. He was the one that ir,:; ituted that and it was justice and I have no quarrels with Ray Goode on that. Mr. Lloyds First, due to the important nature of this proceeding, I will present to this Commission at the next meeting, based on this motion, a formal resolution for passage so in case anyone questions the authority, we will have a formal written resolution. Then we will proceed after that. Mayor Farce: I also would recomrend that in keeping with the request of Mayor Sob knight and of the City of ?Miami Beach, that tomorrow Mr. Andrews, yc,u call up the major municipalities and by that I mean, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Beach, and inform them of the action that this Commission has tak.•re. Mr. Plummer: Mrs. Gordon had to leave for the Dade League. Prank Weston is there. Why don't you call him at the Sorrento Restaurant and ask him to announce where the representatives of all municipalities and the county are, that he can announce it there tonight. You can get all 27 at one time. Mayor ?erre: Mould you do that? All right, and I think it's important tomorrow you communicate with the respective managers of the major thre=• or four rite es so they're informed of what our action is. I'm sure they'll real ahot; it in the *corning paper or they can see it live tonight. 4111110 JAN - 81976 68, INSTRUCT CITY MANAGeR TO F.:P'ETIITE INSTALf:ATI044 ' SODIU4 VAPOR LIGHTING IN AREA OF 37th Avenue to 32nd Avg tank• .uid S.

What this resolution does is subordinate the interest of the leases and the fee owner of the property to the city's lien by agreement. However, in our opinion it may not subordinante any liens the mortgagees may have. In the unlikely event there is a default the city might be behind that mortgage lien. I must warn you about it.
