REDUCE PER GAVE CHARGE TO iO9, 0© M I AMI BASEBALL STADIUM "" I U t ER BASEBALL LEAGUE" The following discussion occurred: Mr. Plummer: Mr. cortera cam* to see me this week. and this is the man who has put it on. Mr. Manager, and i apologise for not sending him to you, but the shortness of time. But I want to tell you that he was wry much open and above -board. Be Ls the one who is putting on the winter Baseball at the baseball stadium, and he finds himself in a real bad dilemma as far as the scheduled games for the baseball. Mow I don't like the fact that the city is going to have to possibly suffer some in the r venue division, but what he is being charged presently there is no way that he can wake ends meet. or even continue this thing going. He was very open and above -board. He produced all of his records, which I took the opportunity to go thoug)Cs and Mr. Mayor. i am going to suggest, whether we can handle it here this morning or administratively --I don't like the idea that we have toseduce the revenue, bat this program has already started, and 1 think we have got to see the program continue through. I have expressed to him Ln no uncertain terms that next year things have got to change, but since this program has started I would hate to see it fall through. I think it would be a reflection back on the city. Presently he has been paying for the lights: the ei1an-up custodians, which cows out to about 4 hundred and eighty dollars a game. There is no question in my mind fro* reading his financial statement that bs cannot afford :lore than a hundred dollars a game. Now. z don't 1 OCT $ 1975 1i1.e the idea. I cam making that very clear. But to see this pro- gram through to its conclusion to that nobody. including the city, nets r nbirr. sled, Mr. Mayor, I am so disposed at this time to maks a motion that for the remaining games that his fewe for that stadium be one hurnlred dollars, and that hp be fully cognisant that next year we are going to look at this in an entirely open light, and that's the way I feel. I just want my thoughts known. Mayor Ferret All right, Commissioner Plummer makes a motion. Is there a second. Seconded by Commissioner Reboso. Any discussion? Mrs. Gordon: No, I just want to rc•aff i rrs what Mr. Plummer said: that this program is reaching out and serving youth; that this has a very multipaying effect. beneficial affect upon the community, and in fact may be saving rather than costing us, be- cause of the fact that the young people being engaged in a sport are not inclined to be engaged in crime. so I think that if you look at it that way you can feel with good conscience that what you are doing is for the benefit of the City. Mr. Plummer: Hose. i was very impressed that the man was very open and above -board, produced all of his records. and I had the opportunity to go through them. and in my estimation this is very fair, and it just has to be. Mr. Andrews: Woull you then recogni.rs that you have to have a companion motion that would provide for the funding of this. You are going to have to have support funds then from the contingency fund that would flow back to that operation in order to provide the funding, because eighty dollars per game, or whatever it might be; we just don't have those :coneys. Mr. Plummer: Well. Paul. I would have no objection. If that is what is necessary and that is what is legal I would have no objection. Mayor Ferrel How much is this going to cost? Mr. Plummer: What it is it is going to be a deficit of about eighty dollars per game. Mayor Fevre: And how many gams are we talking about? Mir. Plummer: SS has got three weeks going and he has got approximately forty gars. Mayor P'erces $tat? Forty games: Mr. Andrews: About thirty-two hundred dollars. Mayor Eqrres So we are taking thirty-two hundred dollars out of our contingency fund of what, ton thousand dollars? Mr. Andrews: NO. the contingency fund is at sixty thousand dollars, We reduced it ton thousand dollars -- Mayor Form: Were goes the first three thousand.

Anybody here Objecting to that? Mrs. Selina Alexander: I'm not. sure. I have a question. shyer Verret I'm shad to nee the conscience of t}to rnmmunity wakes tip early in the morning. Mrs. Alexander: IL'M rough. Selina Alexander, 2323 s. Miami Avenue. I'm not absolutely so certain that I'm objecting, I have a lot of questions about the timing and the necessity at this point for Sewers in this area when there are areas of far more critical concern in the city. This is primarily single fam- ily residential development, some of th,rn not ancient so the septic tanks have been fairly adequate. In looking over tht, planning eonsultatst.'n maps just yeste day in terms of where we are under t;ewcred or sewers, are at a point of great Obsolescence why we haven't stepped in there; I know everything is planned and we're supposed to be sewered by 81; I lust question why this is being done at this time. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the commission, to begin with I'm sure it's recognized that we plan to sewer entirely the City of Miami. That's the commission's stated objective, the bend issue was passed on that basis, we are making orderly progress and I'ra going to call on Mr. Parks to give you a very brief decctiption of what: this project is and why it is necessary to go ahead. Mr. Sill earkas: This* area is one of the orderly progressions in moving west from the shoreline of Biscayne Bay to complete the city. It falls into two categories. (1) There is a very dense rock situation there in which when we tried to put the: sanitary Sewel Septic Task in for the Wainwright Park we had to move a point about 90 feet toward the bay to get ieto some kind of rock that would take the circulation. So we know this is a dense rock situation where the circulation is not good. It is fairly well for the lt-1.that is presently there but we have a lot of R-3A zoning in that area which we must take care of also. The second factor is that we have just $1,300,000 left and this is a job that is suitable to finish that amount of money presently in the sewer bonds and we just had a recent occasion to know that septic tanks or septic tame effluent can cause typhoid disease in the mouth Dade Area. We've seen that it is a possibility and therefore we must move ahead in this area to put in theme sanitary sewers at this time. Construction will not start until early next year and we'll try to avoid the rush season and the tourist season in this area. Mrs. Alexander: These are More or less the answers I got. 1 find it very interesting that really the main reason for moving into this area at this point is the amount of Stoney that's left in the till for sewers at this point and this happens to mutt the criteria in this area. The business of the effluent is a pretty Ear out but I'm concerned that there are going to be bonds, I'm concerned that there are areas in the city that are really in critical concern in terns of sewers and overload. Mayor Ferrel What you're saying is that this is fine and important but not as important as some other things and we really ought to be concentrating on more serious sewage problems rather than solving ones that are not as critical. I completely subscribe to that theory. Alt it is is common sense. You'd batter start explaining in more detail why this takes priority, why this particular area takes priority. Why does the Simpson Sanitary Sewer tuprov.mont take priority aver other areas? Or why is.it an this particular agenda before... Mr. Parks: Well, there are several factors in putting in Unitary Sewers. We would not like to go into a large area and disturb all the streets, to disrupt the whole entire neighborhood of more than i square mild at a tine. As you can see in the rat area we had the Liberty Sanitary Sewer up at the top of this nap. It's presently under construction, about to be completed. We have the Carden Sanitary Sower located in here which is under construction and we have the Olen nova srci in here whit* iu rod that's also uncles construction. You can see ue try to scatter them around instead of having one btq conglomerate whore no one can yet around it. W. have the Delawero Sower pla(casd but the money for that wit be about 4% million. WO have to cell the bonds today before we can fund 4 OCT 9 1975• this one. x� ,; c>f caf .,.. r rez.. i:�. Ft•� are naw talking about the Simpson arua clown :weer from tho rai tr-J,id tr:n_k t , t:to bay. This is a logieal- progr?3atun in which we can move from h•'ro to here than w''1t come hack and pick up the TI rtrnnck at-,t which i:; ju.;o Mayor 1'rtto: Well Selma, what area in p-trr, lculvr, do you think has mote of a priority? Mrs. Alexander: i'rt not ab:;olutely certain, I can't determine that but at 2i00 o'Clo:•k this afternoon you will be seeing a b'tneh of mnap3 from the toneui*- ents. Now th-y aren't addressing t.hem.etv,s to this but ray mind sort of braggled ,ihrn 1 :Saw Wh.,'re: suWrs W"re going in ,:tr,,l where arr.:):, wt'ro of most critical con- cern and I'm juatposing some questions. I moan it it is jit;st. ,o touch money can't you get ::tarred': Bond t?cney:s will. b- Available or should he available. I just don't think it i:: good planning - that's my point ., to ,imply decide this in the time to allocate because that':; the amount of money and that's what it'll take. That's all. That's the answer i got that wms made now too, you see. That's all, I'm just questioning. Mayor ferret I see goal point , and 1 think it is ct valid question but l would assume that maybe too much of an assumption on my part , that our professional staff has gone over this very carefully, and that there is kind of a pecking order, and there must be some reason why one area is done at one time in another area, and it must be technical, because it must have to do with your lines, as they are built, continuity, and---- Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I didn't realize that the 3rd item that I heard Mr. Parks announce now becomes a number one item as to why we should or should not build there sewers. The No. one item was because of the rock strata and the potential difficulty that would arise in case there is a pruLlem. We may not. 1saxc .+ problem for. 20 years then all of a sudden you have a serious problem. WE have pointed out, and the first thing that Mr. Parks said, as I heard him was when we went to build the septic tank for Wainwright Park, we found so nuch denee rock that we had to keep looking for a place and move away from the shore line until we found a space, to put a septic tank in that would properly operate with the proper drain field. WC are going to have problems in these areas if we are not careful and if we don't do something about cleaning them up and we have been working from the bay westward because our most seriuos problems were all along the bay. Mayor Ferre: That makes sense. I am not a eewir engineer or anything like but it seems to me, from the common sense approach to it, that: our priorities in sewering the city really should be to try to get the waterfront severed, because that is where your main problem is going to be, then move west because of salinity problems, because of your water level. Mrs. Alexander: I am no expert. none of us are, we have to depend on the engineers, but when I look at a map and I see areas that lacking or undersewered for the development that is already on them, not the development that is coming, but what is already on then, are obsolecent, along the bay up around the north. It doesn't shoe on this map, but there are area,--1 hadn't planned to come down after i had talked to the department head, but it was after I maw these maps in terms of where there were problems and where we were moving in. I just had to ask the question. Mrs. Cordons Are you in objection? Mrs. Alexander: I just like a Little more definitive answer as to what is going to happen up the areas I think ------- Mayor Ferrel I think you ought to get those definitive answers and Mr. Manager we ought to schedule that for a spacial, -but 1 think we shouldn't stop this program. 1 think we ought to get this going. Alt the work haw been done and we ought to move along. I think here quoteion should be properly auawsred and you ought to advise her and maybe have OM* kind of an explanation. Mr. Aadrowtill May 1 answer that now r•o 1 don't have to watt, and Mr. Parks can point out further, all that area you see in white along the bay is already sewarcd. Mayor Verres Th;st to ettacoly what ahy is saying. Soave of it is obsolete. Mr. Andrews: Not that we are aware of. CCT! 175 Mayor Ferry: She says that it is. l don't know. Mr. Parks: All the white direction becaitt:e o� is completed and we ate irrnving in thin Mayor Ferry: 1)o you know of .ony specific problems Selina that hakes you say that this is obsolete? Mrs. Alexander: Unless 1 can't read a map, or a cede, which possible. 1 saw a map that was taken from Public Works cave which outlines with cross hatching of red the areas than are presently r,ewered but not up to capacity, what I Mean is over-capaiclty,they rare obsolete and need replacement. Mayor Ferre: By obsolete you mean that they are not large enough to take it? Mrs. Alexander: They are not large enough to carry the load. Mayor Ferret Now do you follow what she is saying Mr. Clark? We can't do that today. Would you schedule that for discussion and give us a full report and a copy to Mtn. Alexander as to what areas that are already sewered or having a capacity problem, and that you might think would have a capacity problem in the next 5 or 10 years. Any further discussion, call the roll on riA.

L. Plummer Nsy►or Krucic.* A. forro. NOES: Noe.. 7 OCT$ WS ' Prier to the adoption of the Kemoluion, the Mayor asked if any objectors vcre present. Ms. Mary Kriegenbaum: 1 am Mary Kriegenhatm and I live in the district. I would like to know what the major difference between this ordinance and the ordinance you passed a year or so ado in keeping the trees on the property. Mayor Perre: Would you explain that Mr. Acton. Mr. Acton: Thu major difference is this ordinance protects the parcels of tend in the City of tiiami that have extensive tree coverage that are either undeveloped or under -developed, whereas the other ordinance ns it was applied to single family or duplex area, affected the front yard areas. In this case we are trying to protect the entire lot throughout the entire City regardless of the zoning characteristLee. Ms. Kricgenhaezta: We have a group of pieces of property that are up for sale and one piece in particular has a number of great big oak trees that are very old. They are really dangerous to stay up and would that mean you would have to leave them up, or would you have to apply for an ordinance, and someone would have to come out and see whether or not it would he advisable to get rid of them. If someone wanted to build on the, ----(there is 2 and one half acres altogether), --they can still cut some trees down depending what they want to put on, but it would have to come up before an ordinance, or, variance hearing? Mr. Acton: Yes, it was not the intent of this ordinance to prohibit the development of these lots. Whet we are trying to do is make sure that those healthy trees that are withiiz the buildable area, can be saved if possible. Either relocated or saved but if they are dangerous. It is not our intention to stop development of these lots. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor 1 would like to question , are we premature in passing Item 6 without discussing what is item 20. Mr. Acton: No, the two are nut related. Item 20 relates to city owned properties, -- Mr. Plummer: it doesn't bay that. Mr. Acton: That was the intent. in other words, Mr. Michael Siaonoff if yctt recall appeared before the Commission and stated that perhaps the City should consider including all public rights -of -ways, and certain types of lands, the two are not related. Mr. Plummer: It seems like in item 20 we are reviewing the ordinance and here we are passing it as item 6. Mc. Acton:I say they don't relate to each other. I say very briefly the commission will notice this is a district under consideration today in the City of Miami that has been analyzed for those parcels of land that do meet the standards as established in enavitonmental preservation district. There are some 7 different parcels of Land that are under consideration and are recommended to the commission for inclusion as environmental preservation districts. Mr. Plummer: Have the owners of those parcels been notified? Obviously by their absence there is no objection. Kr. Acton: f:vi_ndeatty. Mire. Gordon: I just wanted to comment on the procedures ofthe environmental preservation ordinances and its effect on the preservation of the tree. I talked to rut architect the other day who said he 33 that had bean root pruned and ready for relocat ton, which you se, that would have been IQ trees that would :etv, boon destroyed and they are batng made available I understand to the City for public areas. Mt. Acton* There are 7 tuts within this entire area that have been determined that they are ll'ii. We are not saying at/ of this area is an Pr0. You aro only conslderiag 1 different parcels of land. 8 OCT 9 1975 4 Mayor Ferre: i am telling; y'm, you hive got as t see it, you have got in red Claughton island and that is a barren piece of hind. Mr. Acton: You area correct. 1 said the one that ore tinder consideration arr rucked in blue and (:laughton Island haw been deleted from any consideration in this. It doesn't meet the standards of the ordinance. What I had to do here was to use :s map that we had prepared quite some time ago where we were considering tots within the City of ► iami, but since that tine the gt.itidards for Ens has been more clearly delineated. f:laughton island would not he included. Mayor Ferre: 1 see that ----there is not one single nu alsohave Plaza. while :are.; In Dupont Plaza eye in ♦o olint Plaza. Mr. Acton: Pay no attention. Mayor Ferret Whey is it in red? Mr. Acton: Mt. Mayor this map does not protreit the type of information is should be portraiting to•the Commission. t admit that. And you are absolutely right, there are no trees in the DuPont Plaza, and it would not he included. This trap was prepared prior to the time we had established standards. Mayor Ferre: Why in the world are you bringing us an obsolete non -conforming map and confuse this commission. Mr. Acton: 1 apologize, Mr. Mayot, this was the only, -- Mayor Ferre: Don't apologize George, just don't keep doing things like th c Mrs. Cordon: I think the thing that would he helpful, is as we take each item, you point to it on the map so we know which ones are acting on. Mayor Ferre: i am not going to defer it, but 1 am saying here we are getting a snap before us and talking as if this is something, --and it happens to be something which you just heard Mr. Acton say, the map doesn't conform so why are you confusing us with a map that is obviously wrong. Mr. Acton: ?y only purpose fir. Mayor was to identity those lots within the city of Miami, but perhaps the commission can't see it, they are outlined with blue. The only purpose of this map was to identify location within the city of Miami of those Tots under consideration as EPDs. Mrs. Cordon: That is why I ask hits to point. you can't identify from here. 7. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF MAYOR OF SA.tiT 1AC,0, CHILE PRESENTATION OF KEYS TO THE CITY: Mayor Ferre: At this tithe I would like to recognise the Mayor of Santigao Chile and would like to ask her to join us here on the Commission if she would. Mayor Ferro persented her with the keys of the City of Miami as a symbol of friendship. and welcome to the City of Miami.

Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor where is Geori;e Acton. Mr. Mayor for your edification in particular and that of the commission to general. word has been received by my office that a blood bank which has been a source of problem* in the downtown area, is renovating the structure for the purpot+ey of re -opening. Mayor Furry; That its right. Mr. t'lurnwrs Mr. Massegter I scout you is memo apprising you of this fact -- •ore importantly what I am intssreeted to know of the committee of which tt e Mayor appointed ne one of the recommendations that we made was that there be a clone in the sinning Law to the effect. i.e. that any an all blood banks would have to be under a conditional use. Now 1 have seen nothing core back to this coutmissiloa table os that for the change. and 1 don't want this commission to be acm:f*d '.f Owing derelict of doings anything because it was the recommendation* 10 OCT $ 1915 of tint. committee, so from two points if yott would address it Mr.Manager and Mr. Acton or whoever, because this particular location in the downtown area it: cans;idercd the worst location. Mayot Perre: 1 hope we would not get into that now, because we have some time pressure, if can, let's get into it later on today. Mr. Plummer:1 think it must he addressed today, .tort ------- Mayor ! erre: And let me tell you au you told me nne time J. i.. the problem is that theme people are trying to open before the 6 months are over so that they still have this grandfather situation, t think we have to address ourselves to that. I had a delegation yesterday fretthe :tethod.t;,t church come to sec me. So maybe later on we can pet into that. ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS (A) (a) (C) (D) In ORDINANCE VESSEL CONTROLS/WET STORAGE OF !MATS ON WATERS WITHIN THE CITY Mr. Andrews: Mt. Mayor and members ofthe commission item 7A has to do with all of those orinances which are some 10 or 11 in number dealing with the control of the use of boats in our watetwrcys, relating to the storage, living conditions, use of such various boats, including house boats and other floating boats, that occupies waters within the city of Miami and Mr. Acton and Mr. Cructpton will present information on each of these ordinances but the main purpose is to finally come to an understanding as to how boating and the boating industry will be controlled in the city of Miami. I would like the commission to knew that these ordinances were carefully reviewed by the marine council and we worked very closely with theta in drawing up these ordinances to control this activity in the City. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andre do you concur with the Manager's statements and do you concur with all of the ordinances? Mr. Paul. Andre: Mr. Mayor. Madame Commissioner, and Gentlemen of the Commission. good morning. i would like to give t)w [acts of the Marine Council to the City Manager and his staff and the fact that they have allowed us to participate with them in the review and preparation of this ordinance. This is a welcome change and we feel the ordinance here in, although it is not perfect there are some items which were not ot our instigation, is an excellent thing and a few minor points we have, of corrective nature and we feel it is a good thing. I would Like to sake one point in case it comes up. There is no reference here to any control as far as pollution. the by-passing or passing of any poliutents from a vessel because that has been adequately taken care of by the federal law, so that is why, in case anyone asks. that is why we didn't include it in this in any way. Mr. Plummer: Do you concur with alt of these as written. Mr. Andre: At this moment. yes. Mayor Ferro: Are any objectors present on es going very quickly now. Mr. Acton: Mr. Mayor could Mr.. Bob Carter one more comment? Mayor Ferree l am sorry. any of these items because of the Maria* Council add Mr. Robert Carter: Nonocablc Mayor and Commissioners, say name is Robert Garter. 1 an a member of the Ward of the Marius. Council. Hr. Andre and 1 have wrvtd on a committee as be stntd. we certainty appreciate the opportunity we lave had. In reviewing the ocdinauce there is lne comment 1 would like to make and 1 foet it its constucttve. The Marina Council has endorsed it has our re+casswadatton as pasts«d by our resolution and i beiiaver all commissioners have received a spy of that hack in Jugs. We are aiare ot increasing pre* sure directed toward the mailability of space for marinas and speciaily those for living aboard. What we would like to soAgest that if this issue at any time OCT II 1975 11 becomes clouded by cccmpinlnts and concerns over squatters .and the adverse side of this, we test we have not yet adequately directed our attention to it. We fret there aro answers and the Marine council could like to offer to work with city staff to ec,;le up with a vi.el+le way of coping with this perhaps between the first and second readings, arid hopefully we would not felt into amendments or changes today which might wc;:cen the ordinance. 1 hope we ran pass those that are acceptable and perhaps defer any wIte-c this would he c+t wetter, and we would like to :a:;Attt and I believe can cone up with something that will do the job. Mr. Plummer: You don't understand correctly. We invited you In because we expect you to enforce them. (t am kidding of course) If you would like to :speak for the record, state you name and mailing address, and proceed. Mr. Dennis G. King: My name is Dennis G. King, 3236 inauga Street. I am an attorney, I am also present of the Tigertail Association and represent them here today and .also Bayshore Homeowners Assoctatiun, and several property owners along Pelican Canal. We would like to express our appreciation to the City staff for their efforts and the cooperative effort that has been exerted in developing this ordinance and we appreciate the ability to present our input. We do have one amendment which we would offer concerned only with that aspect of the ordinance dealing with live -aboard vessels, ---- Mr. Plummer: Which nur1st•t i it', Mr. King:Thiss would article 4. sub paragraph 11, Mt. Plummer: On our agenda it is item m 7:1 through 1., Mr. Kings ---page 5 of the ordinance, sub paragraph 11-A to sub paragraph 5, an additional category 14. I have a copy of our proposal. Our chief concern is the situation where we have live -aboard vessels in these idle residential canals and the discharge of sewage therein. My clients do nut feel there should he :ens live-aboaris i n quiet residential canals which are so toned , however we do feel that we can live with the definition of live- aboarda as set forth in the ordinance, providing that the live -aboard consists of a boat which is used as a permanent or dwelling unit for more then 10 days within a 60 day period. We would like to amend that provision of the ordinance that prohibits the discharge of sewage from these vessels, white they are in these canals during this 10 day period and also, --- Mr. Plummer: Mr. King. wait a minute, let's get to that point, the federal guidelines which take in, --go into to effoet, what is it, the end of 76 or 77. are very specific. Mr. Acton:---1977 but he is not referring to that point. He is referring to live -aboard: that are in canals and dumping their, -- Mr. Plummer: What i ant trying to get et, can this comaisston impose chat ruling which is really the federal guidelines now. Mr. Acton: No, he is not nddreas£ng that point. What he is saying is there should be a provision in the ordinance that prohibits live-aboards from discharging from discharging sanitary waste into a canal. Mr. Plummer: That is what the federal guideline is. Mr. Acton: No, sir. not exactly. We are :;tort of as the Mayor would say :nixing up apples and oranges. What he is saying iai to protect the residential canals, would like to s e provision inserted in the ordinance that would c -.trict in the live-abesrds from discharging sanitary waste into canals:, to other words, if you had sioms one stopping there for two days ur ghat ever, ---- Mrs. Gordon: Nr. Acton this brings a point that Ls rotated and not directly oat the putut of what you are discussing which to thtr discharge of the 1 ivre-aboardo but vhtch to a very important patio bring noted at this tine, and that is the use of lass-:iho.rda at 4-1 sees. You cannot tett me 12 OCT 9 75 and l cannot understand how a live -aboard cannot he interpreted as another 1 ivin ; unit .end if it attached to nn K-1 how it could be legally there. Mr. Acton: 1t cannot under this ordinance Commissioner Cordon. Later on you will get into amendments to the variotrre zoning clicrtricts, and as tlit conllission probably knows the City of Miami lo;;t: n court case, I believe it w.aA federal court for the sitTle reason that we did not have those type of or►linrince!s included,--tho.t set of reatrictinn in nor Bonin; ordinance. What we are doing in the ordinance is stating that the density of living units, whether it be nn land, in the form of :r live -aboard, mtr:,t he restricted to the, density allowed in the --- Mrs. Cordon: ---upland area. Mr. Acton: ----that i:: right. That is coverod in this ordinance. Mrs. Gordon: The ore we are considering today. MR. Plummer: George, you have heard the man's comments, what do you feel. Is he right or wrong. Mr. Acton: 1 would recommend to the commission that they passe the ordinance on first reading as recommended by the Marine Council, then I think we can work something out. Mr. Plummer: Dennis, you will get in touch with George before the second reading. Mr. King: Our problem is we don't want the sewage coming out of these live aboard, for 10 days, and until 1977, -- Mr. Plummer: i understand,- ----I suggest you get in touch with George between now and the second reading and possibly he will agree with you and it will be recommended in the second reading. Mayor Ferre: And if that doesn't work out, you can come back here . Mr. King: We have been in touch with Mt. Acton's office and I believe it was a wish of his office that we Crake these proposals in this fashion at this time. Mr. Acton: So the commission will be aware.

Mt. Acton: For purpose of definition, we have established a marina would be 5 dr. more non -owned ver+sels. The last ordinance you will be reviewing is the non -conforming provisions, is an ordinance that applies to lots where there are vemselt3 on the lot that are not in conformance with the ordinance, and must bring; their particular lot up to r.t.autard within .t ptedetermined length of time. That is the last ordinance the commission will be reviewing. Mayor Ferret The questions being asked is, these ordinances provide that 5 boats would constitute a marina and the gentleman is objecting to that, and the second thing he is saying is, that there is no provisions in here for grandfathering,--there is no grandfather provision in here. Unidentified person: There are some fish houses around here that have 10 of 15 boats docked at their place. They are not marinas. Mr. Plummet: I.et me address this because 1 can see where 5 or more boats on a small lot would he too assay. and I can s-,c'e where 5 boats on a tremendous; piece of property would not, and 1 think that somewhere along the line there has to be a happy mediums. Mr. Mayor i will make the statement 1 have always made when it relates to anything in the boating industry. The one thing this city sorely lacks is marina facilities. if you have ever been on the waiting list at Dinner Key as I was, after about 29 to 30 months after I had bought my boat 1 was notified that a space was available. You know, 30 months, what was I suppose to do. I was one of the ones until my boat was stolen.that used to keep it Pelican Canal. Nov, 5 or more boats about the piece of property of which I docked has space on both sides, is not too many boats in my estimation. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, we are taking the definition out of context. The definition is applicable cable to the areas; of zoning contained in these ordinances. It is not all inclusive city -vide. In other words, if you have a commercial area where the zoning permits marinas then that is a different condition. Certainly where the fisheries are located are in a zone area that would permit a number smaller than 5 or greater than 5 to assemble because the zoning is such there that it accomodates that kind of activity. This definition is forthe purpose of controling more of this in the residentially zoned areas of the city. and with care where you have terser density uses Much as the larger apartment buildings along the waterfront and the esarina development as appropriate. that is not included in the restrictions of these ordinances. Mrs. Cordon: ----included to the R-t R-2 and that sort of thing. Mr. Acton: I would recommend we would exit down with Mr. grits? and explain to him, present the ordinance, then we cone back later when you address these things. Mayor Ferret This is on first reading, if you have any doubts, any problem and are not satisfied, you be here oa the tad readies; and we wait either get into It. or put off until we gut all the answers before we make a final vote on it. Mr. Plummer: la the inter tmt period. get in touch with Hr. Acton and make your thoughts known to him. Unidentified persons May I say something else about Lha Mtaut River. About 6 or 8 months ago you passed an ordinance deceiving a 20 ft. outback alosteg the river. You didn't take into 'cement any of the commercial property along the river. I can sea a cutback 04 restd.nttsl property, but I can't see a sot- back of 20 ft. on river property. gone; of that property Is only 40 ft. vide to start with, and if we set tack 20 Ft. we c.tn only build a 20 ft. butiding. Mayor Ferree Mir. Acton you had better listen to all of the+ a things. oci 1J to Mayor Forte: What Is the answer to all th:tt Mr. Acton: tliat we site saying Is 20 itfor structures Mr. Mayor. Mayer Ferro: For example, you have .i commercial fish house, they have to he right on the water, hc'cati e they have to got the fish from the beat into the warehouse. to the free:>.er, so ashy should we torch them to Net hack 20 ft. Mr. Acton: I don't think we should if the process requires that they be right on the water. Mayor 1'vrre: Here we go again, then they have to come in for a variance, to get into that round-robin. 1r. Acton: He raises a good point Mr. Mayor. Mayor terre: Will yuu look into it and come back give us some kind t+i,- •• will you talk to Mr. Acton, I think you have n valid point, and 1 would ngree with you. Unidentified person: 1 have already started a building permit, trying to get plane on a building, they say I have to set back 20 ft. or I have to go for a variance. I can't see this variance business when they passel a law 6 or 8 months ago and it wasn't right to start with. They didn't take into account any of the commercial property. What can I do about it Mr. Mayor? Mayor rerre: What you can do about it is talk to MR. Acton. Unidentified person: 1 have already talked to him. Mayor Terre: ------and you come basic and discuss this openly before the commission. Mr.. Acton you review that and come back with your recommendations and we will have a hearing on it. I think you have valid point. Unidentified person: Thank you sir. Mrs. Cordon; Every orciit+,ince doesn't mean it is perfect the way it i.s constructed, and if flaws come to light then they have to review it. Mayor Ferre: With your permission unless I hear an objection, we are going to skip right now over e, through I. and come back to that, it is already IU;2O and we have a pocket item here. MR, BRUCE THHOMPSON, CHAIRMAN �i, PERSONAL APPEARANCE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AOVIS©RY COMMITTEE QUTLINg OF BRIEF RECOMMENDATIONS Mayor Ferri*: We have a pocket item here. Mr. Manager which by the way Mr. Manager and this is not in any form of criticism but is a question that we really should get procedures straight on this. We have a committed which is called the Affirmative Action Advisory Board which WAS told to be here at 9:30 and it happened through your office. between Marie and Lupe. and 1 didn't know about it, and obviously you didn't know about it, and lftrst hear about it this morning. there are people here on the regular agenda. and yet we have an advisory committee that has been told to be here at 9:30 . Lupe told Marie, ----1st me tell you what the problem is with all that ts. For us to do it in this way, these people have nut, ---there are others that are interested in this. and they are not properly advised. 1 will recognise the Chairman. if you would step forward. Bruce, before you say Anything, ---listen to me. Mr. Andrew:. we appointed this: advisory board at the lust nesting, because of the problems we aro having now, in the Jtttit ice Department and affirmative action. and our need to move forwesrd on this very quickly. l asked you to have this on the agenda as a format item. 1f you go back t.' tb.' minutes you will set that that wits requested. that they cone back wlrb t4eir recommendations et this nawttng. Mew they are not on the forwl wade. Now. this creates the following problem. They are *Skins for us to move on an enwraertcy hest::. and how c:sa we now vote on something when it hasn't been properly nottif ie*d to the other interested parties! 11; OCT $ 5 Mr. Andrews: yt„, at thi.; point. can't answer you ',r. Mayor. l cinci't have nn answer for Mayor Ferry: it .is a slip. ran we take it tip at they Ttte. clay meeting. Mr. Andrew:;: Yes we can. 'Itr:tt would be the appropriate time to bring It 1tM, because everyone has noticed for that r' ot: t i ns,, or will be. Mayor 1'etre: Will that g'ive us enough tire for the selection process so that the two people that are going to he representing the employee groups can he elected. We have to paaa it on an emergency basis, assuming we accept this reeottunertdat haft Mr. Andrews: i as order of business Mayor Fevre: ].s Tuesady morning, 1st would think that you could tnke that as the first item because you are going to be discussing policy. that acceptable, Tuesday :Horning, Rose, J.L.? item. Mr.Bruce Thompson: One comrent, then, this will be acceptable to us on one condition, that is that we accept the commission and Manager's word that we won't run into any problems as it relates to the matter of having the election within the city groups. Mayor Fevre: Bruce, I can't guarantee anything to you except my good will and any word. I am nut going to stand here and tell you what this commission or administration is going to do. I'll tell you what 1 am going to do. I am going to follow your recommendation. I am saying this publicly now, I don't know what anybody else is going to do. 'can't guarantee anything to you, no more than I can guarantee anything to anybody else, what is going to happen on Tuesday. Mr. Thompson: I am not asking for that type of guarantee. All I ate saying is that t hope on Tuesday that the item we are concerned with in relationship to having the employee input would not be hindered because of the time element, when we are in fact being prepared tc' proceed today, and we nre being asked to come back on Tuesday. I don't want to be told, look, we won't be able to those individuals from that segment of the city, do yeti follow what I am saying? Mayor Ferret I understand, -- Mr. Thompson: --as you pointed out, it does depend upon acceptance of the commission. but however if it is accepted by the commission, I would not want that to be one of the stumbling blocks. Mayor Fevre: Mr. Andrews, what he is saying is, he doesn't want to come her Tuesday at 9 o'clock and have somebody here say we can't hear it today because the pollee department isn't represented, or some other employes group. What he is saying is, if we are putting it off until Tuesday because of the slip we bad internally. we are not goiio to put it off beyond Tuesday. Mr. Andrews: I don't sea any reason why it would be put off. All the organisations through the City Clerk, and all the people registered with the City Clerk including the committee, are going to be noticed with reference to the aeries of mestingt that are going to take place. Mayor Perce: Would you make sure that they know this is the recommendation of the committee and so that we have time to study and think about it, and then vote upon on it Tuesday. Mc. Thompson; one other tatter Mr. Mayor. and your point in that instance wax well taken to terms of nuttficattoa to the other committee, but I ant reacting specifically to themsattar of the ordinance that we are asking for, and I do under. stand that there is a specific tine frame in which urdtancea must be reviews and what -haver -you and we are trying to intake sure if you do adopt that that it will be in ample ttae for the elections that would have to take place within the employee ranks to coincides with some otter elections I understand that are planned, stud that that not be a hindrance. Nayoc Ferro: Even thought i doat• Roe it expressly„ --oh I u' ,'thw Attirmative Action turd be formally established by City ordiosnce,--what they aro aakiag 17 OCT a WS for, is that we do this its an erdinanee forts :so that It is mote format. Mr. 'r'l}rrpsnn: And also we are .asking in light of the procedure in terms or getting an ordinance passed that some considerations be done so the ordinance would he in effect ct in ample time for the employee groupie whirls we understand will be cte•cting representatives to thoctvil. Service Berard, that there would not he any additional upheval or stress on the administration, that this election can possibly coincide with whatever election they have planned. Mayor Ferrc: Anything else to be discussed .at this time on this iten? 1 f not, we will sec you Tuesday. Mr. Thorpsont We are leaving these with the Ctty Clerk so he can take sure that everyone is apprised of what our position Is. Thank you very retch. 12. CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION LOTS 5 11 - BLOCK 1 - TWELFTH STZEET MANORS "REPU3LI C 1ATIONAL nANK" Mayor Ferret Let's take up item 8,----approximately 225 N.W. 42 Ave. zoning Board of May 5, vote 4 to 3 for denial of a conditional use, there were 11 objectors, the applicant is the Republic National Bank, and the Planning Department recommended approval, the City Commission on July 17 deferred it. on September le we deferred it again, to October 9th. Mr. Acton: Mr. Mayot Mr. Carl Stover of Dade County Department of Transportation is here, --- Mayor Ferns.; I and gentlemen, this for those of you in silent. :.ant heat you, would you speak louder, and ladies room has very bad accoustics. I would be most grateful the back especially, if yoea would please try to keep Mr. Acton: Mr. Carl Stover of the Dade. County Department of Traffic and Transportation is here to explain to the•Commission the analysis of traffic problems in connection with this site. They did this after the commission last heard this, item. Mr. Stover, if you would explain your recommendation. Mr. Carl Stober: I am Carl Stober of Metro Dade County Department of Traffic and Transportation and on Friday evening, I think it was September 26 I made an observation of traffic east bound on N.W. 2nd Street, this east bound traffic attempting to enter Le Jeune Road. in conversations with Mr. Roseman from the Red Diamond Restaurant. he was afraid that east bound traffic on N.W. 2nd Street being unable to enter Le Jeune Road would block the driveways of the proposed bank and this would cause traffic to stack back on Le Jenne Road and the outside northbound lane, thus preventing his customers from getting iato his parking lot. Now, I made a field study and it was apparent that the only reason west bound N.W. 2n4 Street traffic could not get into Le Jeune Road would be the heavy northbound flow on Le Jenne Road. N.W. 2nd Street is controlled by a stop sign and a right tura only sign. so in order to test the avlidity or see wheat problem there would be. I made en observation between the hours of 4:10 and 6:t0 P.M. on Friday September 26. 1 chose Friday because that is the only time at which there could be a conflict between the bank business and the restauraat business, since the bank wilt be open if it is in there of course. it wilt be open until 7 o'clock on Friday oven/ngs. Since the gap in traffic on Le Jolene Road is controlled by the red signal. the northbound flow is controlled by they red signal at Rattler street. 1 chose the signal cycle Length which is approximately 90 seconds. I chose that as the tiem Increment is which to observe than traffic on A.W. 2nd Street approaching ids Jousts Road from the east. I mule a total of .----i observed a total of 6L cycles of the signal at Flag er and i.e Jout. mud 15 of those cycles had no traffic at all on N.W. 2n4 Street. There wire 19 cycles which had one car attempting to enter Le Jeune Road from N.W. 2n4 Street and there were 7 cycles in which two care wore waiting to enter Le Jenne Road from b.W. 2nd Street. At no time won there Morro than two cars attempting to enter and the maximum delay of any car attempting to eater Le Jame Read hens 2nd Strcert was I seconds, and on that basis, 1 felt there was no conflict an s.srious conflict, Metwoen for operation of the bank drty.-in facility, if Lt 1OCT • I" Is there, .md customers getting ing into the parking lest of the Reid Diamond Restaurant :tnd 1 so stated in this letter. Mr. Plttnemer: Let mee understand so the record is clear, very concise and to the point. Yaur reco meedatnn or evaluation then revolves down that you see no objection to this, 1 nm not trying to put words in your nouth. In simple words, you gee no objection, is that correct? Mr. Ste►her: 1 don't think it it- within,--1 don't think it is our business to object or not. 1 say 1 don't see any possibility of any conflict between the, operation of the two businesses. Mr. Plummer: That is one consideration reacosut:tending approval of this project, from I want to get the record clear and concise. Thank you At. 1 hope you will st..y in Mt. Stober: 1' 11 be here. of this commission. Are you still a traffic and trasnporatiun standpoint. i •or:c +, here arc other (J►sestittti;:. Rev. Gibson: I think we ought to ask the objectors to, Mr. Plummer: Father, if we can, let's follow normal procedure and ask the applicants if they have any further presentation that they wish to make. We of course ask both parties to be brief. Mr. Russell Vining: Good motning, 1 am Russell Vining from the Republic National Bank. I know you have a very busy and arduous day before you. I wi 11 do my best to keep things short :ind t e y and just bring us to date in synopsis form. I'll refresh my memory out loud. The bank, realizing it had a civic duty and responsibility, and had to do something about the problem at N.W. 1st Street, went fot a possible drive-in on lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, Block 1, 12TH STREET MANORS, lot easy identification, an address of approximately 225 N.W. 42nd Avenue has been given to this. We had an architect draw plans in conjunction with the staff of the Planning and Zoting hoard, these plans were drawn up as I say in complete cooperation, the traffic people were brought into it too. The plans were finally presented with the unqualified recommendation of the staff of the Planning and zoning Board, they said that we had met all the requirements, nnd in addition we had exceeded some of the requirements. Subsequently a letter was sent. to Mr. Sim by Counsel of Mr. Roasman, the reply from Mr. Sim rougbtly said they saw no problem. A second report was written which you have just heard from Mr. Stober. We appeared before the Commission, Mr. Stober testifying, we had Mrs. Carole Clark of one of the divisions of the School Board, a mother of 5 children who also saidthey saw no difficulty whatsoever. We had another dedicated person who is not only raising a wonderful family of 8 children who incidentally live on the proposed drive-in side of Le Jeune and going to the elementary school. they do cross the street. She gave her approval and assent to the proposed drive-in of the bank, the Honorable Mayor vas quite interested in the remarks of Mrs. Erinsman? and he questioned her if she was speaking for herself or for the P.T.A. Board. Mrs. Erinaman stated that there had been a meeting of 9 members of the Board, 8 had voted in favor 1 had some doubts. while she did not disapprove, or challenge, she decided not to vote. The school authorities, I have spoken many tines with the principal he has no objections and for reasons of policy said that he could not come here but the fact that they were absent meant that they had no objections. Honorable Commission. in synopsis fora, we are up today. and trying not to bother you with details unless they are necessary. Mr. Plusener: All right, let's go to the opponents. We are very happy and acknowledge the fact of the RD/morable Bob Brake frost our sister city Coral cables, it is nice to have you here. Mr. Robert %rake; Thank you very much Mr. Plummer. Mayor Ferro and meters of the Commission, ny name is Robert Brake, i am a Lawyer with of f iccea et 1840 Ponce Pe loon blvd. l represent Mr. Michael Roseman, the ewer of the buotn tss, not the property, the business known as tha Red Utamend inn, and he 1 K an objector as are ueveral of the neighbors here. We.. vent into to a cunstdmrabl.t amount of thta last tisnte, and I would like to recapitulate just a little bit tf 1 nay so we can have ourselves on a good footing to cousrtder tlw problem before you.11ew original probloun, the reason why they bask lu asking for this request, to that their present drtve.,tn facilitteA are adatttodly inadequate. In addttton to that there to a Left turn problem. At the present nt tine traffic cows up along Le Jcune Road and turns left down 19 OCT 9 19T5 first street to get to their drkr,,in fold t sties w!ti.rli are right hero. The bank has .jte,t asked for parking facilities on thi:; Mlle park here and been granted tho:a. for an additional 12% oars; to serve tho bank building which now t believe either two or three stories and is: toned and built so that it can go S stories, so the teat f le turning .leftis going to increase. There is; ;t t ronit'tttlous problem t her:', with left turn,. T }lt'rlI`.; a t i'ewc'tidotl:i problem of accidents, particularly at the noon hour. 1 ht' gentleman from Metro 'Irai f is and Transportation has studiously avoided ;all studies of the noon hour. I havr a cctmplit:at inn of the accidents 1it're and t am passing those out to you. Since the first of the year to August 14, there were 2t accidents, G, or almost one- third of the accidents occured at noontime at the time the children are going to and from the school, at the time that ;tr. kossrian in his restaurant has luncheon business. The traffic conditions down there are pretty terrible. What the bank proposes, is to "alleviate the left -turn situation by providing drive -In facilities In this section right here. I would submit to you that under no CtCuttistunCeis can this alleviate the drive-in left turn facilities, --problems. Every car that comes north that turns into this facility and wants to go back, turns left back down Le Jeune Road, so that the traffic situation on Le Jeune will continue to be bad. The only alternatives these cars have, would be to come out down Le Jeune to go down 3rd Street and back down 41st Avenue, past the residential property, past where children are playing and come out at Flagler Street and then go back and make a left turn south on l'lagler Street where there is a signal. light. This is certainly inadequate traffic planning. Common sense will tell you that the situation is only going to get worse for the people on the side streets. What we have suggested to the people in the hank, No. (1) is they can have a facility within one mile of their present location and we suggest to them they get it, either on Flagler Street, or elsewhere on Le Jeune or on 7th Street. The second thing we have snggested to them if they absolutely have to have it at this particular location, they come into the facility from the north off Le Jeune Road and exit down on 2nd Street then have a signal light at 2nd Street which will help people get back out on to Le Jeune to go south. i think was a suggestion Mr. Plummer riade last time, and this would help alleviate the problem to some extent in that there would be a traffic light there that would help and that these people then would be channeled out back onto Le Jeune rather than around, down on Gist. Avenue. In addition to that there would not be the problem of possibly having traffic stacked up along Le Jeune in frontof the Red liiimond's: parking lot which is of concern to Mr. Rossman. Now, Mayor Ferret Rob, let ine understand what you are saying is. that would be an acceptable alternate to you. Mr. Brake: Yes, that would be an acceptable alternate to my client and I believe also the people in the neighborhood because if you have the traffic coming in on the north side and then as they cane south to 2nd Streetet, if there were signs there saying right turn only, and they had to come back out, and if Metro would put a traffic signal in there, synchronize with the one on Flagler Street so that the people would have a chance to get out on Le Jeune and back south and nuke their left turn. The traffic situation there would be alleviated ---it wouldn't back up in front of Mr. Rossmau's place of bustness and tend to go down taut Avenue. Mayor Ferro: What do you think of that? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor that was a combination of my alternatives. I have tried every way before. One of the alternates I propose was is put the tellers en lot 10, at that end of the track and Let then go north on Le Jerune and come in through S and cote back out onto 2nd Street. That is one alternative. I don't recall what the bank's position was. What he is saying is this, if there were to be an stack -up of traffic,it: would not be in front of the Red Diamond, it would be in front of the bank's property. 1 don't know if that is accasptal►tc to Metro. key. Gtbsoa: Mr. Mayor In good conscience now. I have been out there. I was the guy who raised tilt the red herrtnss. Mr. brakes 11hey are not reed herrings, they are pod ernes. Rev. Gibson: Let ve say I raise all the at'jecttun up hews. I must say this --thy husk made sure to oduccate woo took no out there at different hours. I want o' 20 OCT $ WS to conc•ecic'. 1 think 1 had better tell everl•''odv now, that the hand came up, 1 believe, --the rlost practicial, sensible solutiun. When you talk about that light that you are talking; .shoat, that additional light, you ,dust compound the l)rc,htem, b•c•au.:e when 1 saw, 1 have been there 4 different times, twanted to louse fittrv, ve,n don't have the problem from the school, beentt:ce the school at peak hour, the hank is not open at the school's peak hour In the morning, now is 1 t open at the school's peak htso in Ow a t i ersoott, or even 1 tr�� . t saw that. The street that goes to the Junior High School is blocked off, anima+ we are not going to keep that blocked off. if you coy::c this way, there is only one choice, either yoo go to the right or the left, when you go to the left, there is n ponce there in the street, there is a police in the parking lot, and also there is the rynchronizing of that traffic light. I didn't understand that at first. When the light on 42nd and SW 8th Street, ---when the traffic light mays stop, the light at S'J fith Street .and 1.e .lvw e, :also says stop, so the backing up of the traffic which t was .afraid of, is not there. The other thing that really bothered me was, when you leave that drive-in teller, and you turn back into the neighborhood, all one has to do Is to go about once or twice and he decides right there, man, that is not for me becua:+e as you core up on SW B Street, you are talking about the backlog of traffic, that is really where you get it. Mr. Brake: Excuse me, Father, you care talking about 8th STreet, hut this is near Flagler, you mean Flagler? Rev. Gibson: 1. mean Flagl.et , 1 am Foray, let the record reflect l was referring to Flagler and not 8th, and 1 really have to say in all fairness, the objection I had with a lady, I am convinced the school lady that came and said she had no objection, that the school really doesn't have the problem. Mr. Plummer: The bank, you beard the proposal, or proposition, as 1 understand it, you would enter through lot S, have your structure on approximately 10 and exit on 11, is that agreeable to the bank? Mr. Michael Bryan: My name is Michael Bryan and I am a civil engineer, with a master's degree in transportation and 1 work for Brii ton, Childs and Crowder a consultant firm here. Now, 1 went through the traffic study of this problem and the corporation of every move we dice, of the department of Traffic and Trasnportatton,---trying to come in north, and you were talking about lot 5. going around and coming out. now the first problem is that by doing this you are creating a street block in property of the size of 300 ft. by 95, now, if we go to Dade County standards we will find out that in a residential area where you have a cul-de-sac, the minimum radius is 50 ft. and to emphasise this. (inaudible) ----4 to 5 ft. pavement and 50 ft. right-of-way. so 4 to 5 ft. that give you a diameter of 90 ft. We have BS ft. property, 8 ft.--that is the shoulder, that is the sidewalk plus 3 ft of grass. that gives you 91, gives you 93. plus 12 ft.length and we need 100 ft. to make a turn. So that means you have no net back. nothing in there by doing that. That is No. (1). No. (2) is that vhy create such a loop movement, where the sane traffic is going in and out the street twice. You have them coma in, then you have them going out again and corning out, that is one. the second thing. you are going to have to reverse all this pattern and since you don't have enough clearance. whet you will be doing is eliminating the grass areas that you have over there. They tatked about traffic a whale ago, as far as peopia Would be going through the back road. now. I can guarantee you ont thing, they will never do that. They will do it once, twice and never do it again. The reason is simple, we are dealing with foresight and backstght, of a traffic light. which sans away from the traffic light and to the traffic light. The main reason the existing facility is having problem is not because of amount of clients that use the bank. because we Are dealing with ISO clients throuith drive-in teller per hour. that is the maximum. What happened is. when they come dt'.n ht•ri trying to turn at let Street. cannot mike it when he is solos to turn left b.•. salsas tit a IL;;ht that stop* them at Ftegter Street. ---he has a e:1ut here. !.. . r,•.et.>o no problem to the northbound whatsoever, no prehteu, ahsc'1utc lv 140 i l +, t,. hc•. sous+ they can start 3 cars in that left bore eturagu. That in !:.►. (I ). r t„ problem Is turning across.Tte problem Is turntug across on f irt:t : t r. ••t . t3.• can't dui it because during peak bourse the traffic is backed up here. and Ile reason to because of this traffic light reed here. But there is nu car in her.•, and thy reason why there is no car is there Is because It is foresight tit tit.• i ntereac itoa. the traffic will stop here. ttesgardless of traffic. it could be packed. the red tight to rem, during that red signal. there L rw way they rag have any hind of car 21 '$ WS in here. (t would he minimal 1,:•t au of t1u:• fe►rc•qi.i;ht position. No*, the other rea:.e'n why, t:ortmi:;ston 1'1tui;trer they last time cat:le up with this solution cf, in:3tead c+i f;oitt,; in irate, of getting in can the property. 1'frst_ of all this would he li'rc cent rol l ifl two inte.'rsoctions, second of all you have that reverse pattern, natural. reverses turn, that is already provided by they roadway. If you di this; on the property, you it,t.e the nor;i.t1 setback .1°t after your '.', ft. right-of-w.ty curb, plus tits: rever.;... _reduced in the property tit the hank. Now, another: thin,; that will come up is. ---what lam saying it;, we talking about a bank that is riakini; 150 operations thro i i their drive-in teller during peak hour:;. Okdy. Consequently, we are only 600 ft. from the (xisttng facilities. In other wor.d:4, we are talking about the same place, how can the bank double their business in a limited type of . 1 can't gee it. It is a limited type of transaction, a window, a drive-in teller has limited type of transaction. How can they increase if they were one stile away, that would be a difforcnt hank, so they would have new cot,::tomers, but within t,(IU ft.---1 am not saying they are not going to increase their business, probably by .10 or 15 percent but no way by 100 percent or 209 percent. i. have picture 1 and 2 here, and 1 can show you. You can look at, ----one was taken here and one taken there. (inaudible)----- The bank was fortunate enough to have such sight. the reason is because there is, right there, as you can see, a pedestrian crossing, signalized light, right there. And if you look at this there is wide line there which is a stopping bar, and by the way, that is why we have no left turn, because there is no place to stack any car in here.Right there is a new left turn sign there, --no left turn, right turn only, is no left turn, --right turn only, and the reason for this if; because you have ct signalized intersection there, you have your stopping bar right here, and there is no place for a car to stop there, which would create a problem if the car would try to turn left, and stop across the roadway. Mr. Rossman: My name is Michael Rossman, 1 am owner of the lied Diamond and 1 would like to ask this gentleman a question. You just mentioned there was a right turn only sign here, ----there, for the purpose, (inaudible) ---- Mrs. Cordon: Why don't you use the mike so the record will reflect. Mr. Bryan: 1 said one of the ;wain reasons for this right turn only, is because of this pedestrian crossing, with the stop bar here, there has been very little distance for cars going south, ------- Mr. Rossman. 1 want to get back to this right turn only sign over here. You are inferring that one of the reasons that it is there is to facilitate the entire matter. T have here in front of me a report and I will hand it to the commission. that this item came up on Nov. 21. 1973 and was completed April 30, 1974, and this was as, a result of an accident that occured and Officer D. Perez made the report and traffic and transportation made a survey and on the basis of 11. accidents they put that sign there. Mr. Bryant The reason the accident occured•-----I am not saying there was no accident. --all 1 am saying is that this creates, that left turn, because of the stop sign there, creates potential problem for accidents. This is the traffic light that controls the pedestrian crossing, in front of the Red Diamond and as 1 was saying, this is an additional feature because the bank is north of there, ------the proposed facility is north of here, and this is synchronized with Flagter Street tight. Unidentified person; 1[ would like for the record to reflect that He. Bryan is referring to a photograph marked #4 and If 1 may point in connection with what he his just mentioned to you, this is the location at which the photograph was taken. looking in the northerly direction, and tt illustrates tbs crossing light at this particular point, and Mr. Bayou also pointed out that they crossing light when ut:od is synchronised with the red heist at the corner of Clagter and Le ivune.. 1 voutd like also to give Mr. 1 tf.her the County engineer an opportunity to respond. Mr. _ Stut+ar_.would you be to a position to respond on this brief not i ce3 . Mr. Robert County engitw'rt What ar. I respnading to?

Mr.Andrews: Mr. Mayor before you open, I would like Mr. Wendell Bailey to take a Htatement for the record and as information on whit is happening in the bond market because we may be forceA to take .' an unusual action later and I would prefer that be on the record before the bids are opened, so that you can be aware of the severe circumstances that face us. Mayor Ferre:---that faces the nation. So Mr. Bailey, --- Mr. Wendall Bailey, Director of Finance: Thank you Mr. Mayor, I really only want to give you some background that has led up to the present chaotic condition in the municipal bond market. This began several months ago when it became apparent that New York City was going to be unable to meet its obligations. By obligations, I mean both debt service and current operating expenses. The background is that New York State and New York City combined to establish what was called a 'big mack' and that was municipal assistance corporation, the purpose was to bail out New York City, however iu hailing out so-called New. York City, New York State itself has had it bond rating downgraded from AA to A-1. Some of New York State's obligations have had their rating withdrawn. This is on anticipation notes. Mayor Terre: How are we rated presently. Mr. Bailey: We are A-1. Mayor Ferro: We were moved up to A-1 in the last 6 months wern't we? Mt. Bailey: We have been A-1 for quite: some time, but we still on this particular bond issue here received another A-1 rating. We, New York City's bonds, conversely have been reduced from from a single A to B-A. That is two grades which made New York City bonds now do not meet investment grade standard:=. Mayor Ferret Mr. Bailey, excuse sae for the interruption but, correct me, because I am confused, somewhere along the line this year, it was either or Moody's gave us an increased rating. you tell am that is not so, ea I am confused. Mr. 6aileYi We have had A-1 Moody's for several years, however we do now have A plus which is equivalent to A-1 Moody's. Mayor Ferret That is what 1 am asking you. Don't toll me we have been that way for years. What 1 as trying to say, is that even though we bad Standard -Poore A-1 rating, Moody's, is that what it was? Mr. Bailey; Moody's A-1,----- Mayor Ferret--4-1, and Standard didn't give us a rating before? Mr. Batley; Wo, we had single A, however that is now A# which is equivalent to A-1 Moody. Mayor Ferret What 1 out trying to say is that within this year. the City of Miami's rating has gone up. as far ors me of those houses, Standard & Poore w. went up from A to Ai. That is significant isn't it Mr. bailey? Mr. Baileys Correct. Mayor Ferret Thank you . OCT $ WS w Mr, 13 t i lr.: Now, as a re ed t of thtsti, i am ,;gyre most of you read within the last day or so, one of ty good f ri►•:i',3 who ties president of Standard & Poore hag, tiacle the flat statement that New 'York City will default on its bonds, absolutely. The cc'ts;equencew of ;t11 of this;, 1.r;t week, we hhvc+ two state AAA tatted hands iho high' t obtain;thltr, California and Oregon, --Oregon sold honds, the 198A maturity with th» lei};ltegt interest rate ever rec•ord'd on a AAA rated bond, ('alifornis is hc, ;t lh,'!t bettor. However, Buffalo, New York failed to receive s single hid on 24 million dollars of hereof anticipation notes. ihey were ahle to borrow G 1/2 million of they needed 24 at IC) 1/2 percent. Now they are sit i 1 l faced with look's for approximately 13 trillion Lote' before• Dece-mber 1 , or rather October 15, or they will default. Tallahassee, Florida last week failed to receive .i single hid on 30 million dollars of bonds because of this 1 1/2 percent interest limitation. This really has created an unprecedented situation in the municipal hond market. All indexes are at the highest ever. the index right now is 112 hairs points higher than it was 8 oonths ago when the City of niami sold 1.2 1/2 million dollars of bonds. That neans 11 thousand dollars per million per year difference in intctcs,t cost. So 1 merely give you this backgtound to let you know that we may he in for a shock here . g Mayor Verret I guessed that was what you was trying to tell us. Mr. Andrews; Let me. summarize Mt. Mayor those figures that Mr.Bailey is using and round them out just to 1', instead of the 1.1. One percent means 10 thousand dollars per million per year. 'Mt 7 million dollars in bonds that we are receiving here, if,--.••1 don't know what these bids are going to be, if it was 1% higher, would mean 70 thousand dollars per year more over the life of the bonds roughly 10 years, we arc talking about 100 thousand dollars more just for 1% increase. Mayor Ferro; Let the tellyou something, so 1 can get my thinking straight can ;all this . No. 1 1 think we arc fortunate to be even getting bids in this day and age with the way the panic is going on about the bond default in New York and the problems with M.A.C.K. and the problems with the State of New York and what have you, and 1 think we have seen rsany municipal entities that are deserving consideration by Wall. Street that have been completely ignored, because of the uncertainty. The fact that we even have a bid to the is significant and No. 2 I want to point out that we did go from A to A+ in one of these ratings because that is a significant thing. NO. 3, 1 want to point out, and this is in no way a disparaging remark towards Metropolitan Dade County, but about a month and a half ago, they went up to sell bonds for the airport. Are you aware of that Mr. Bailey, do you know what the figures are. the intereef;t? Mr. Bailey: I do not recall exactly but Iknow it was considerably over 7Z. Mayor Ferret it was close to 87. if 1 recall. These fellows were shocked and they didn't have too many people interested and you know we are just living in very difficult times, and all I am Buying is. that I am glad we have some takers. I am concerned about the day we go up to try to get some money that the people have voted for, and nobody wants to lend the City of Miami money. Mr. Plummer: 1 am asking a question Mr. Andrews in trying to get the answer, what the interest was we paid on the last bonds. Mr. Dailey: The last issue we paid 5.80, that means if 7S basis points difference between our bid and what the bond index was at that time. which was 6.55 still holds then we would be somewhere around 6.90. Mayor Ferree: Those days of 5.08 are gone. you are not going to sew those for a long time. Mr. Dailey; No question about it, however 1 as pleasantly surprised to find we du have 9 bids. Mayor Ferro: Nine bidders' ard read the bids now.. Mr. Andretwss That it: ret+eL1y gratulatioaa to you Mr. Ridley. Go aha.rd surprising Mt. Mayor.

Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor we must be doing something right. Mayor Ferre: 1 thought were going to start telling ae they were all over 1,-- I would like to point out two things which I think is gratifying --of course none of us had seen these figures before they were opened. I would like to point out that the average in my opinion, I haven't hsd time add then and divide by 9 but it looks like it would be just over 6.S. the average, which I think is terrific. Mr. Baileys I am pleasantly surprised. Actually I thought it would around 6.70. Mayor Ferre: I thoguth it would be higher tisan than. The thing that pleases site the most is that our own local bank,Southea st cattle in at 6.408 --of course this has to be tabulated but it looks like it is the lowest one, and I ate proud as I Can be that one of our own locally bad enough faith is the City of Miami to come Ma. competing with the major banks of New York and Chicago at the lowest rate. l think that shows faith in the City of Miami ty our local institutions.

Poem that refresh your memory? ;rt . hr left': No, sit 1 was Vaal', to ask i`1r. Stober to llave an opportunity to respond to the comments that have been made by ttr. Brake and also to the suggestion that he made. Mayor Ferret All right. Mrs. Cordon: Before you go in itr this 1 think it is significant, — Mayor ferret How many are here on t he Mantc orri school question, raise your hands so we can :wee. I think out of courtesy to all these people that I hope that we might after tore finish this Item take that up, and then come back to item 9, unless the people on Item 9 have strong objections to it. So let's hurry up the process, sit go ahead. Mt. Carl Stober: I gather that I am to respond to the suggestion to come in here and go out here. Mayor lrerte: Thatis right. Mr. Carl Stobcr: One thing that would Lause would be an additional conflict point with southbound traffic coming across here and wanting to go back to the north, you would have as conflict point right in here which you will not have in this circulation. Mayor Ferret You think in other words the other plan is better, is that .hat you are telling us? Mr. Stober: 1 won't say better because I haven't studied any except the one plant that was submitted to one and I say it will work. I don't see any conflict and I'll just stand on that. And Mt. Brake said 1 had studiously avoided the lunch hour which is not so, because I took a previous check some weeks before, and sent hits a copy of the ru';oluts. Maybe ithasn't been delivered yet. All I can really say is that I did not see any serious potential conflict between the two businesses with the plan as submitted, and I'll pretty much stand on that. Mayor Ferret Sob, I'll give you time for rebuttal then we have to wind this thing up. M. Bob Brake:Thank you Mr. Mayor, Mr. Stober has just said exactly,exactly, ---the point i made when I started out, which is if you got people up hare, there is going to be a conflict with theta getting out, to go back to where they wanted to go. With all due respect to the previous gentleman, be sounds a little bit more like a conclusion trying to get some reasons. He gave us two reasons why the plan the we suggest won't work. One of them is, he said you needed for a cul-de-sac 90 ft. for the turning radius. This isn't going to be a cul-de-sac. It is not a cul-de•sac down here, it is not a cut-de-nac up there. You don't need it. You need exactly the same thing you have now. You've dot a street here with a S0 ft right-of-way and teas than that is paved and he expects people to cone up and make a right turn and thew a loft turn into it. They could do the same with the northern end of this. In addition to that• they can use afore of their property because if you will recall, the last time we were here, Metro traffic and Transportation suggested to theca that they put their exit about where the boundary between lot S and lot 6 was• which MARS they aro not going to be using hot S at all, becaause that lines up with tad Terrace. If you have then costae in on lot S, they caw use aware of that. They will have at toast one morn car stacking capability than they will have if they so the other route. The circular argement was the second one that the sans bad. He said you arm vino to have equal eosins south and they will tura, and then have to go back north tgatn. As t understand it, there to still Bolas to be drive-in tacilittes down hero ns+xt to the bank. Wu aro aot talktag about drive-ta tac dittos for peopte coatng south as l.o Joutw road. They are going to use those west of Le Jeune road. Ware talking about people who are i c'ts g to come north. who are gotag 26 OCT $ le75 to nP+e the t ar• i 1 ity because they can make a right turn, and a:Iiat we st►t tit is.,t itet• t:+.tke the right hand turn at the ru►rth e'nh1 rt):le :oath and then exit out here can 2nd Street, th.rt eliminates the meat of they p,':+:ihte r'onfliet that you are going to have. Theses are the only two real reasons that the other gentleman said that you ehrntld not u•;r' his. lie said eve thing more, he said absolutely people will not go down 41:.t Street, but there is no way he can guarantee that unless he mikes t•ri Street env' -way w•e: t. bec:►u-:rs If they ee me in from the $;Doti), arc going to turn out, and it le going to be just as easy for them to make right turn:: :and come down 41s.t :1ve.,ntte to Fitaglr•r Street, its it will he to try to )mike a left turn across all that heavy traffic for Le dome Road. I would suggest you come down south from the north to the south, with the drive-in facilities and at the end of this heavy right turn only sign, that will possttively prevent anybody from coming down 41.st Avenue, to do it that way. Thera is nothing wrong with this system, this is: the hest Mr. l'lumnter, as you suggested last time. If you are going to have to do it, co*nnon sense tells you this is the hest way to do it. 'There are some other people here, Mrs. Sanchez end Rome others from the neighborhood, and 1 think they would like to make a few remarks and with that we will close. Mr. James Cilbride: Mt. Mayor if 1 might briefly take tan minutes 1 draw your attention to these several things. No. t there has been no presentation of any engineering data to this commission by any opponent. There have been some assertions made, there has been no hard, competent engineering evidence presented. The only evidence that has been presented to the Cotttmiassion has been presented by the Dade County traffic engineer who has studied this item on three separate occasions. His engineering testimony by an extremely well qualified engineer who has made an indcptndent study, you have been provided, each of you have been provided with the results of that. The P.T.A. has approved this, everyone has approved this, the made County School Board has approved it, there is no evidence at all in this record that indicates anything other than this its a workable undertaking and every approach has been made to reasonably resolve the matter consistent with the existing zoning. Mayor Ferre: We can't go on forever rebutting and back and forth, but T will give you each a minute. Just sum up whatever you have to say. Mr. Brake: in answer to that point any remarks were based upon an engineering study that I had done for me. the engineers were not able to he here today, if you wilt postpone this i will have my engineers here next tittle. Mayor Ferre: I don't think we can postpone this any longer. Anything else you have to say. Mr. Gilbride: No, your honor, I believe we have presented more than a complete competent substantial reason. Mayor Ferre: What is the will of this commission. oh, I am sorry, Mrs. Lydia Sanchez: Mr. Mayor and members of the commission, I again coma here to represent my neighbors who limo in the 41st Avenue and still we have three concerns. one is the safety of the children in that block. We do not have a park, and have to play right there in the street. Another one is, ---by the way, this is going to affect not only us. but about 2,000 children who attend Kinlock E1enentary and Kinlock Park Jr. High schools. The P.T.A. representative who cane here was representing the Elcentary School, that means only about 400 children and I don't know how 9 parents can be responsible of the fate of 2,000 children who attend those schools. I never beard a word from the P.T.A. from the Junior High School and parents who live in my block , they were not contacted referring to that dectston, that the exocutive hoard of the N.T.A. at Kinlock Park Elementary evade. Then I am also c•oned:rsusd about the health, pollution and the funes that can e:aanate itu our nt 4Khborhood from the carat parking tine to got into these teller windowas, and also on the privacy of an of us, and of all the children in our community. Plena* pay stuntion to this. Mayor Pewee; Wink you we need your 'saw and adds** for the record. Sta. Lydia Sanchez; Ny name is Lydia &inches, I live at 261 S.W.

All right, is thete anything else that has to he disct145ed ;at this tire. If not, wheat is the will of this ct,mmistiit►ni Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor in view of the fact that t happen to he the guy who raised all the question, t want to rake sure that I w19 sat Lef fed along with the fact that I was the guy who pr► posed the policy, that no pc►ning change or no varianic' be given in the school area: until such time as the school administration was represented, given an opportunity to express its approval of disapproval, if not that we were going to follow it, and you remember that when we heard that the. principal was concerned, and the principal was for it, I said I want to hear from the principal, because principals come and go, and 1 want an administrative person. t flaking this speech because 1 don't want anybody to think I changed my mind because 1 didn't see the facts, and I don't want anybody to think I changed my mind because 1I don't know what I am doing, because I think those who know me, know I would take my position oven in the face of, and I offer Mr. Mayor that we grant this bank this business that they have asked for. Mayor Ferre: The motion as 1 understand it is , that the zoning board's denial be over -ridden and that the Planning Department's recommendation for approval be granted. Mt. Cilbride: Of a conditional use. Mr. Lloyd: Mr. Mayor if you are going to do it, it would be appropriate to pass a written resolution granting a conditional use which I have here. Mayor Ferre: Read the conditional use resolution. Mr. Lloyd: "A resolution grautiui; a conditional use as provided in Ordinance No. 6871 Article XI, Section 1 (5) (b). to permit constrctuion of drive-in teller facility on Lots 5 thru 11 Block 1, TWELFTH STREET MANORS 3RD SECTION (6-162), being approximately 225 N.W. 42nd Avenue, in conjunction with Republic National Bank; zoned C-2 (Community Commercial) District." Mr. Ciibride: Subject to what conditioner? Mayor Ferre: Would you answer the question please? Mr. Lloyd: This doesn't call for any conditions„ this calls for approval of the plans ass presented. Mr. Plummer: What 1 am getting at Mr. Lloyd is that in our book, based upon the approval recommendation of the planning staff, there are 1-A, B and C that this is up for approval on, and I haven't heard any of those conditions be discussed yes or no. Mr. Gilbrtdtes Mr. Commiasionec may t respond to that? Mr. Plummer: Sure. Kr. Gilbrtde: There ice no question concerning the seining on the property. It rcmaina the same. This use which we are seeking before this Commission is a use that provided for to tl:n existing zoning, however it requires An approval for that usse under the oxtating xontng, therefore a characterisation of a conditions use.

So 1 will vote in favor of the motion. Rev. Cibson: Mr. Mayor I want the record to reflect that Gibson has not changed his position, that the School administration, or my great concern was what was going to happen to those children, and the School Administration came here, wrote a letter also, saying that in no way do they consider this to he harmful to these children. I want that to he put in the record.

',I.lyor just a i ittio bit of background information for the t.•JI;I': is.,lon. Tht• lite in question h.t:. been In operation as a Day Nursery .^+ince 1954. What the .tpp11e .ittt. is (!skin; f er is .in e rt'tt ion ot Ga new building and we approved the application subject to certain conditicps that are in tte agenda item before you. Mayor Ferro: Atl right. Frank Chopin: 1 live at 31(8 Point i.in i Avenue in Co(onut Grove. 1 am au Attorney, firm is Chopin Chopin. We arc representing international Research Associates. I'd Like to give you a tittlt bit mote in the way of background on what really is involved here. .It is true as Mr. Acton pointed out that this property has been the site with Day Care t:'•nters since 1954. At that time a variance was granted by the Ctty of Miami .and approved by the City of Miami Commission. Several years ago the present ownership, international Research Asts elates purchased the property. Purchased it with the Idea of really converting it 61Oltaore than just a nursery operation, mote than just a place where people can leave their children but the kind of operation where supervision and custod- ial care can be offered, But at the same time education ran be offered to child- ren at very young age. They began this project thtee years ago with a great deal of success. Thc:y had operated pret iously .z school on Briekel l Avenue at the Academy oSP the Assumption. The facilities weren't adequate that's the reason they purchased this property. They purchased it because of the :coning and because of right to use .it for the kind of schoolthat they wanted to operate. Unfortunately, after they began operating they found that well really(you know)this is a great place to run this kind of educational center but we just don't have the right kind of facilities modern education recognizes that it's riot just bringing children into a classroom and teaching them but that the environment plays a very essential part in the learning process and you rtu t have the right kind of facilities if you are going to do kind of quality job thara Ves were interested in doing. Well, the prob l m really was (Is) financing. Bt cau ,e you can't finance a school. You can't go to the bank. You can't go to tier Federal Savings t. t.oan Association. You can't even go to the Small Business Administration and ask than for the money to build it. So that was n stumbling block. it was a stumbling block. It was a stumbling block for well over a year. In June of this year however, a man who really wishes to remain anonymous offered to lend the money necessary to construct a proper educational facility. He was going to lend it at reasonable interest rates. He was going to lend over a period of time in which it could be paid back. With looking only to the property as the security for the re -payment of his money. His announced purpose in doing is because his really wanted to provide for this area a kind of educational facility that is sorely needed. So what happened then was is the Ms. beveraux. Ms. Buckley and Ms.Corbett the operators of the school went about and they started looking for help and they found a young lady who was working on a masters thesis at the University of Miami. in architecture and they asked for her help. She agreed and she designed the facility. Not just as a school but as a Montessori School which could be used in taiitxing the available property to properly educate young children. In turn she sought suggestions from all over the country as to import that could be put into the design structure of the building. She went to the City of Miami, she went to the University of Miami School of Architecture and the rendering which is before the Commission now is the end product. It's approximately a structure of 1375 square feet of classroom space. Soto go on with the sequence of events tn, July the piano were submitted to the Ctty of Miami for approval and they were approved by the Zoning Department, by Building Department, by Plumbing and by all of the other departments. I want to show you the plans because they're all marked. They're Alt signed an being approved by Zoning and Building And the other departments. No mention at that timme WAS made of the necessity of any hearing. Also the application for the 'Wilding Department wart also initialled by the Zoning Department indicating that the proper 'toeing was there. Mrayor Ferrol Excuse me for interrupting. but then Mr. Andrews this gentleewn is saying that he went up before the proper fepartments and everybody approved all of ibis. Now can ww approve for him to go ahem! and at of a sudden and now they have to corm back end get a conditional nose idly didn't they sof that before they approved -- sieve them a porsta 30 OCT •aIv: Mr. Andrews: 1 don't have the ans:.•or to that Mr. 'Mayor. lid have to find ,ut. why. MLtvor Ferret 1s that env way to tun an airline? Mt. Ferenc_Ik: Without researching what he is saying it quits possible that they were approved pending the final action a5 far as they conditional use was concerned. 1'd have to rt•s.'areh this. Mr. Frank Chopin: 1 think l can enlighten they Commission. They made a mistake. Eve'rybedy :Likes a mistake and they ride a mistake in till-, instance. But the problem is based can an approval they got d d( )(i1.ittufl permit and they tore clown one of the. uxt�{ttng structure:-4 which had hken,ItaediAo dclotcatc these children. Sc, on Monday moaning when they went In to t,et the building permit the City re►1i tad, well you know there should have been an hearing and we can't grant or issue the permit until there is such a hearing and the city really has been very cooperative, the staff has in getting us on the September 8th agenda for the Zoning board. Of coarse, in the normal t,equence becoming before this board here. but the problem really in thatbecause we had the approval of the city of Miami for these plan, alit because in reliance on that that wr deattoyed one of the c :.ieltirsg structures . We really have i►rohlcros because we can't return to status quo ti we are turned down by the City of Miami because the status quo as been altet::d already. Really it brings us to what we're asking you to do today and that Is to Mr. Plummer: Let me oak a question Mr. Mayor because its I recall the first that I heard about this was from one of the objectors who called me and asked me did I know about a Montessori School being built and I said no. Now let inc ask this question. Was this possibly Bob prior after the Zoning Board approval? As l recall when I first was called on this matter it had not in any way been broached to this Commission. Mt. Fcrencik: No, as I recall it Mr. Davis and 7 was just talking about it. What they did was they came in and took a permit which would have authorized them to build this building. They did this like - right at the end of a week. The permit was in- correctly issued in so far that this conditional use provision of the ordinance they weren't advised of the conditional use provision of the (n dinance. The person who cit. ccktd the plans overlooked the fact that this had to be a conditional use. It was a judgment factor perhaps, on their part that there was an existing scEtool on this site. The school people without a demolition permit went in over the weekend and tore the building down. Mr. Frank Chopin: 'That's not true sir. That is net true::: l mean, you got'to be accurate , because I can show the demolition permit this morning. Mr. Furenctk: But they got the permit after they tore the building down. Mr. Frank Chopin: The registeration of the permit was after because i.t was a Friday afternoon and the city said well go ahead and tear it down because of the kids involved and the best time to do it is over the weekend so no one will be hurt and we'll register it Monday morning. We did it (you know) based on what the city said. Mayor Fevre: Well, yea. you know we got'to be careful now not to play around with the truth on these things and I'm not accusing either side of this. But if the fact is that they were told that they had the permit and they didn't have to register it until Monday, that it was better to tear it down on Saturday. I seas that's stretching it to say that the, tore it down without a permit. If you were told that you had the permit. Is that correct? Mr. Frank Chopin: We had the permit sir. Mrs. Gordon: When did you tear it down? Mr. Frank Chopin; On Saturday. Mrs. Cordon: What did you tear down?

Mr. Ftlnk Chopin: If 1. could just point o'it that realty there is n need for this school.

Mr.Doonev at the previous hearing pointed out the census information indicates the tremendous need for this kind of f3cilitywhere it's located. We also have a letter from the Metropolitan Dade County Department of Human Resources. the Division of Child Development Services which points out that this School is subcontracting with the County under a federal grant program to and will provide services for 25 low-income children in the neighborhood. Monsignor Glory- from St.11oghes parish wrote a letter stating that there is a tremendous need. There are nu facilities. lie points our nu a matter of fact that at St. Alban:: alon4 there is a w:siting list of over 100 children trying to get into this kind of lac; sf.ty. Lt'! a badly heeded thing. There aren't proper facilities and what these people are really trying to do is they aren't trying to enlarge anythin aver expand anything. They're trying to improve something. something that they already the right to do and have had it for many many year::. I think .another thing that you should he aware of is Lt►.,t wlwt Wt. are doing is really an improve • meat to the neighborhood. I'd like to show you some pictures of the neighborhood so you get a real pertapective 3f where we want to build this building. • Mayor Ferre: I'll tell you in the interest of time it's almost noon and we're way behind aad we got a lot of things to do. Pass them up and we'll pass them around. Finalize your point so we can get on with the other. side. Mr. utopia ': 'That's pretty muds it. Mayor Fevre: Thank you. We'll give you time to rebuttal after the objectors. All right how many objectors want to speall? Mr. Chopin: There will be three objectors speaking your honor.

I reside at 2655 South Bayshore Prive in Coconut Grove and I represent the Orange Street Homeowners Association who are appealing a decision of the Miami Planning i toning Board under dater of Svotember 8. 1975 which approved a conditional use subjected to a revised site plats to accord with certain provisions that had to be fulfilled by the proponent of the plan. We feel after reviewing the complete file and the plans that the toning hoard has in It's possession/ fusers$ reviewed the minutes of the meeting of September bib and having researched this matter thoroughly with the varieum Menefee Pet.part cents of the County and of the City, that this se -called conditional use is in direct contravention of the scale and thci design of the area. It is in direct contravention of the needs of the area and it is in direct coatravrntton of the Coi onot Grove Coaspreheea- s+icve Planning Study which the city spent thcweands; of hours of time and thousands of dollars on so that wo night conserve and preserve t'w Grove as tt is today ,as one of thee Peat unique historic: places to live and work in South Florida.

Provisions for the student bus transportation wag not found in the file or anywhere in the presentation as on flie with the Planning and Zoning Board. The right of way improvements to Orange Street which arc not defined and which are not in any way discribed in the file or in nny of the Planning and Zoning Department minutes leave us in doubt as to how you al... goin3 to improve a street that has n rlaxlmum Southerly width of twenty-five (25) feet without substantially invading the rights of the abutttng property owner e to provide the sidewalk curbing and widen the ntreets. We feel that this is a tremendous ftnancial hardship on these attendant nnd ideating property nwnern, and it not called for based upon the plan as presented in foto and finally it is required that eight parking spaces be provided with en area reserved for two future parking spaces. Yet the plans on file reflect only four full size parking spaces with a reserve made for two compact cars for a total of six. Therefore, initially our reaction to the minutes rend in the context with the plan an presented and read in the context. of our ordinances indicate to us that the Zoning and Planning Roard as they 1:!.J.. that night. September 8th, did not thoroughly review this prenentation ie otder to 1%,..c.c. a decision which in in thv best interest not only of the attendant property owner,, hut also within the context of the Coconut Grove Comprehensive 11aiinht. tuU :tich we an residents of the Grove and property owners believe is an essential fact,- that we must honor in order to preserve and carry out the purpose of tit Comprehen.-iive Planning Study. Furthermore, in summary the Planning and Zonlne Dcpartmeet indicate., t in reconition of area Day Care needs and the existence of 3(1"11 tiellity at the ul6ect. site for the pant 25-years continuance of the tem is appropriate. However, the Tecurt clearly reflects angthe Commission will review it's taemory and it's notes you will fincl that the 01C3 care needs is reflected in the Coconut. Grove Comprehenutve Planning Study are current and indeed there is surplus space for students who need this kind of facility within the Coconut Grove environs.' Furthermore, the study indicateselearly that this type of population that is children ureler 18 years old is at a plateau in Coconut Crove and the projection is that there will be a decrease in children of this age in Coconut Crove. The presentation by the applicant iu that we have children who need this facility from all over the county and that is certainly true from all over the county. But we are talking About Coconut Crove and we're trying to preserve our environment and our area based upon the Comprehensive Planning Study not to provide a facility for the county Which is inappropriate in this very narrow cc:gifted uetting. Secondly, it indicates that the school facility was on the site for twenty-five(25) years. That is not true. The conditional use was provis- lonty granted in September of 1954 to a Mr. & Mrs. Buret because of hardship. This au elderly infirmed couple that could rske no living any other way than running a Day School and for that rcasua according to the City's own minutee in September of 1954 they were granted thin conditional use to use their peruonal single family frame dwelling fo a Day School. This continued until 19>4 at which time there have been several transfers but at this time the school was closed ani lay vacant for ever one year. It is nubsev to this that the current owneru,internet.ional Research Asuociatemehave prepared a plan to enhance the area but the point is we are Wit talking about an elderly informed couptt why are trying to run a Day Care Center in their little frame home to make a living.

Thera was a resolution passed on September 8th t;;iying that the limitation of 50 p:tails to thie school and c•1i;ht l,:trktnr, t:l,ace:a. Now all through the minutes Mr. Chopin re►aarke'S that there will 1n there will be 75 pupils. He ignores the Planning Board resolutions - kept saying there wa.+ would be only 50 pupils :allowed. Mt.Doeney gild the need for this school is based on the census information. I asked what census information ? I was told the 1970 C.I.P. profile well you all know 1 hac'e been dawn here fot the• last couple of Vicars kicking about the C.I.P. profile. in tact it was thrown out last February by the ted:ral govetnmurtt who said that it was outdated and if you u•;e those figures Federal funds would not be available for some of these you would want, especially your Revenue Sharing Funds. Also, Mr. Dosney said that there were 800 children in the nrea. Again, the five year census plan. Now according to this thing with the school, now with our Plannning Board, our Comprehensive Planning Study for Coconut Grove it did say here schools: There are four public schools located in Coconut Grove, the Coconut Grove Elementary, Carver, Carver Elementary, Frances Tucker. Silver Bluff servers the ?forth Grove neighborhood but it it; not in study area?t These five schools only Silver Sluff is overcrowded. Expected decreases in Elementary School enrollments in future years should be alleviate the situation. The Dade County School Board based projected population growth and classroom need do not shoo any additional need or for they const- ruction for the Coconut Grove Area. In general, the f asue surrounding public school s:t properties in the Grove is not one of capacity, but he a private schoolSsuch as Kartson, Carrollton, St, Hugh,and Van Guard are ,also suffering from hazardous access problems created by the heavy traffic. Now there is :another thine that your schools was going to create. Another thing I am clerk of precinct 832 which borders 27th AVenue to 32nd AVenue, the railroad to Grand Avenue. I would like to•know one thing here. May I ask a question? How many of the proponents live in precinct 832? Could I have a show of hands on that please? 11here do you vote at 832•: Mrs. Elizabeth lletttuer: At the Fire Station on Oak Avenue, that takes in the area from anyone living within 27th Avenue to 32nd Avenue, the railroad tracks to Grain! Avenue. No, I'm talking about 832. Mayor Ferret She's asking a question, how many of you vote ac the Fire Station on Oak Avenue in Coconut Grove that are proponents (that are for it)? Proponents that vote at the Fire Station, ok. Mrs. Elizabeth tlettner: well then apparently none of then live in this here area which the Orange Street School is in. Now we have 1848 registered voters in that percinct and I know I've been working with for the last 30 years with our percinct. And over the last five years our percinct changed to mostly young people and senior citizens. but not many famitiles of small childrens. The elders families have all moved away and the child- ren have grown up. If this school is so desperately needed in this area then why are the students coming from such distances? I'd like to ask that question. I also read in the attnutu4 that these people went on Friday. July 25th to get the permit but it was told it couldn't be registered until Monday. But they went ahead and demolished this building on the 26th. Now according to the minutes it says on July 28th the general contractor went in to pick up the permit and instead of simply picking up his permit he found that there had been over the weekend some opposition had arisen to the construction of this buitdtng and the City of Miami had shade a decision welt In fact contrary to what is shown on the plans in approving this project that it Shouldn't had been approved in the first place. That is nut without .a hearing before this body and as a consequence refused to grads this permit. (1 won't be too long 1 assure you).

This is a residential area, ire have worked hard and long this Comprehensive Plan. Let's keep it a residential area. There are other places where they can build this school. Mayor Ferre: All right the next speaker please. Mr. Hugh $lacks The next speaker your honor is Mrs. Marilyn Reed, who is Co -Chair- man of the Central Crave Association in which Orange Street is found. it's part of the Central Crove area. 11111 Co- Chairs an 0; Oa Central urovc• 4V.soct at cyst Mrs. Marilyn Reed: t live its the vicinity of this proposal. 1 think it's in they immediate vicinity. I. am not sure that the definition was clarified earlier. I believe it's 375 feet, isn't it. I have three short statments to make and I'll be very short. We in the Grove do not appreciate input from outside residents having to do with our residential neighborhoods. The issue is :s /ening mattet and directly cifisits the adjoining residents who oppose this proposal with good and valid reasons. We stand firmly on the proposition that the Grove residents of an immediate neighborhood who are directly affected should have their wishes adhered to when opposed to a conditional use and that non residents of the Grove should have no say whatever, whatsoever in the Grove Zoning matters. We further stand it on the proposition that a residential neighborhood such as the one on Orange Street should remain a residential neighborhood and not he enureacneaon by a profit making venture regardless of the nature of the business. This is not a pa'tlic school but a private school and therefore a profit making venture. We can anticipate expansion at a Sr date indeed, the zoning tninutg, reflect this. We therefore oppose this and askkt a Commission deny this request. Mayor Ferre: All right are there any other speakers? Mr. Plummer: May I ask a question? `fir. Chopin, the first question of you sir, where are the kids now? Mr. Chopin: They're in school. Mr. Plummer: Where? Mr. Chopin: 3060 Orange Street. Mr. Plummer: Is that the building sitting say in the back? Mr. Chopin: You see that's the thingyou know i don't think nest of Mess folks would object it they really knew what was going on. Let me say in answerryour question yes sir. Thera is a building in the back.that was built 21 years ago for the purpose. Mayor Ferret You mean it's been in exlstutace as a school for 21 years?

Mr. Plummer: Number two, pravtc;lon of students bus t indicate that all students must be bussed or that they she they want it. Mr. Acton: 1cs that in answer to your question -the condition the way it stated doesn't make it mandatory for all students t, he bussed. No. But they are supposed provide school bus transportation to alleviate the traffic situation. Mr. Plummer: And then it would be elect-t' f the parent as to whether or they not they wish to use it. Mr. Acton : That's correct. That 'tt the law. ansportation is that to 1. ,just provide a bus if Mr. Plummer: Ali right. Number three, the right of way improvements to Orange at reet who would pay for them? Mr. Acton : The owner . They would have to pay for the roadway improvement as they pertain only to that portion of Orange Street that lies in front of their property that's in the public's right of way. Mr. Plummer: Well what about the rest of the residence ott Orange Street? Mr. Acton: Weil the condition applies only to the applicants property and not all of Orange Street . There's tt very poor right of way condition right in front of this property. Mr. Plumper: All right the next point is pretty clear as far as the hours of operation. The one that has the (well lc t me get to number six and 1'11 cuie back to five, so you can finish with that ) • Eight parking spaces reserved, two for the future. Is that agreed to or is that part of the permit or what? Mr. Acton: Yes, they must provide eight parkins spaces now and reserve odditonal parking places in the site plan for the future if ever needed. Mr. Plummer: All right now the final question, what kind of masonry waft would you put up that would be... Mr. Acton: Solidly masonry wall stucco that would prohibit sound fray going front the school of property itself to adjorntng. Mr. Plummer: How high? Mr. Acton: Probably six feet. Mr. Plummer: HAS that been stipulated? Mr. Acton: No, but it should be that's a very good point. Mr. Plummer: All right. now my final question to to the Lay Uepartment.

I understand your answer to be that the City is ni►t in 11 way of tort liability for wrongfully issuing :► permit. Mr. Lloyds Yes sir. Mr. Plummer t Ok. Mayor Ferret Let me for the members of the public that are here. See John Lloyd his expertise'among many, He's an expert in tort so he's going to get into a long explanation (and John excuse me for cutting me off) but 1 think all we really need is just for you to tell us what the law is. You don't have to give us the case --- Mr. Black: Your honor I unthrst:aid you asked ;t question as to the effect, is it my understanding that there has been a city here for twenty-five years? Mayor Ferre: Certainly, a city? Mr. Black: A school, I beg your pardon. 1 was thinking in terms of the whole ---- Mr. Chopin: Twenty-one years. Mr. Black: Ok. Now :Ir. Chopin answered yes. I want to reflect the city back to it's own minutes of September 1Q54 which reflect that this; wasn't a school. This was; Ls a single family residence enhahlted u Mr. 6 Mrs. Hurst. He was a former truck driver, he got into an accident, he couldn't drive a truck, so he and his wife got together to have a Day Care Center which is not the same as a Montessori School or an eleborate project covering three parcels on a narrow street. Therefore they had a Day School of a very modest nature, a very few students from 1954 to 1972 that we know of record. Now once again I'm not referringwhat neighbor:; say, I'st, referring to what the city records said. In 1972 through 1973. the school was vacant, there was nothing there. It is only the recent new owners that have brought this whole proposal to the city's attention. Now I think this is a very relevant point in zoning law, in the definition of conditional uses and La variances because we are not talking about the same thing. The proposal before you is not an extension of what the proposal was in 1954. It's brand new, it stands on its feet. Mr. Plummer: May I proffer my last question? Ht. Chopin it seems like that the obvious question to be asked or it is to me, if in fact the school is operating presently it maybe under some handicapped conditions, have you or international Research Associates gone out and Looked for a possible alternative site? Mr. Chopin: The answer is no. And I'll tell you why it's no. I've represented those people because my children go to school and this is not a large corporation. You know, it's a little email school but --- Mrs. Gordon: Where do you live? Mr. Chopios 1 live at 3368 Poinciana Avenue which I don't vote at the tire house but I vote at the Legion Hall and Mary Prichard Lives on Poinciana Avenue and Craig Codtey's Julia is hero they live on Potnci:taa and their kids all over here. You know the Dade County kids. the lasgacone kids, they're going to walk to school.

Even cone before us for the public school. Fie obvietu. question here again it would seem like to me where }tau have flu ava1hib lity, dad t ran understand your reasons to for wanting to stay in Coconut Grove. Most of the people live in the general area. NOt taybe immediately but general. the point is that there are other parcels available in Coconut Grove if you are operating. That was sty bit concern of two. What's happening to the kids that's my important factor. Number two the chity's position of issuing a permit and taking it back. it just seems like to me to,ttfafr to yetis people as well as to the opposition that you should be sable to stand before this Commission and state that you have exhausted the posnihilitfes tf trying to find an alternate site. But you answered to me now in the negative. Mr. Chopin: 1 can answer this that tot a year before the leave from Brickell Avenue tee Orange STreet from one tend of the County to the other available pieces of property were searched for. And the cost factor in every available or desirable piece of property vas prohibitive. It was really prohibitive. That's why this piece of property was so absolutely desirable. Because it was in an area which desperately needed the kind of care thatthese people were vfferine,. Itt was at a price that they could afford to pay at that time and it was purchased, 1 think three years ago, It had existing financing which trade very little cash to down. And these people don't have a great deal of honey. 1 mean every dace that they had and that they could burrow in which they could get the previous owner to finance and I closed this thing for them and 1 did it without a fcc Just as I'm appearing here because they are not a large corporation went in to buy this property. Now, they just don't have the money. I mean. if you say go out and find another piece of property that's desirable they are not going to be able to do it. There is no way they ale going to be able to do it. They don't have the money: They want to operate a school and they are going to operate a school on this property right here, they are doing so right now. The ordinance, variance that was granted some twenty-one years ago. Yon know, maybe this isn't the time to respond to some of the critisms but I think it's so important to realize that we are not talking expansion. We are not talking adding kids to the neighborhood. You know you hear folks coning you say we are going to ( Mrs. Goupley said it was 1;oingto be 150, she said this is the other hearings in the minutes) I'm sure these other people have read it. There was going to be 1150 cars theere, well this is not true. This isn't true. Mr. Black said it's going to be on three parcels. that's not true: It just isn't true! It's going to be oa one lot, ok? Lot 17. What else did Mr. Slack say? He says well it's going to be 75 kids, well you know that's a rid herring. There isn't going to be 75 kids because the law. the ordinance says you're limited to 50 so what difference does it make all this talk about 75 kids. They said only four parking places . The plans now show eight. We can't get a permit to build until we show a site plan with eight parking spaces and two reserved for the future so what difference does it make this talk about four. He said. "well it wasn't really the seam* kind of schouL that's been operating here for twenty-five years". Weil it's a school. 1 mean. thu philosophy is different. I mean we have an alert people trying to teach kids instead of you know ctwtodta care. but the zoning uses the kind of facility lee the alms! . You know. these people went out and they said it's going to widen your strut. it's going to raise your taxes, there are going to be traffic Lights put up at the corner of Virginia. None of this is true. Everybody says well this is a commercial operation. Well you ought to put a commercial operation in it eotaIMMciai neighborhood, welt aLt uvvr the country today people aro fighting about bussing kids. They're talking about neighborhood schools, well where do you watt to put a echool if not in a reaidentia n4 i ghbu rlwod and this school is serving the people in that neighborhood and 1 live in that oeit;hborhuod awl so do a lot of other folke hare. Nee came up to tell tee, flex Allende attorney who has bt:a kids in school to say that be doesn't vote at that pe rcLact but he lives is MtwaL, has lives in that area and he sends his children to that school.

Mr. Chopin: Well, I mean --- Mrs. Gordon: If you're limited to 50, how many will bee Mt. Chopin: It stakes no difference, I mean - let me explain to you what I mean, 1 didn t mean it didn t make any difference --- Mayor Ferret May I ask a question, I really have not made up my mind quite yet, you know --there's some good arguments from both sides and I've been trying to read through the corrospondence I've gotten and I've kept the tabulations . I read this before I got here but I'm reviewing then again. Now, the vast majority of these letters Feu proponents are from Coral Gables, South Miami, and a few of them from the Northers► part of the community, but that doesn't really mean anything. I'm just telling you ----not everybody's that's written ( I want to point out ) because they have children in school but 1 would say 95:; of these letters somewhere in the letter say,my little girl goes to school or I have a son five years old that' going or T have a son that went last year and that type of a thing. But invariably they're from Coral Gables and South Miami from the most part, not all of them. they're about (I'd say out of 35 there's about 5 or 6 that are Coconut Grove that are from Coconut Grove. But ----you gut to be very carefully, here with facts. I think it's very important that we be very factual now that doemn't mean one way or the other because I'm going to make a statement about a little bit later on in any opinion of it but Mr. Chopin: Let me say that the city--yr. Rooney asked prior to the recosmuendation of. the staff approving this how many children live in Coconut Crove and prior to that time no statistic wore ever kept on where the children lived so a study was made at that time and was determined that about SS% that hadn't began the fall term in the past year had lived in Coconut Grove area . As .of this minute and I checked with Ms. Deveraux it's about 65% and let me answer your question again Mrs. Gordon. Mrs. Gordon:--- and I don't mind telling you that the statement you made by ---- Mr. Chopin; I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. What I meant was that as far as these people in terms of the financial end of it you know the County is paying the same price that the individual would pay. Sure it makes a difference because one of the prlaary, one of the chief reasons for the existence of this school is to make it a melting pot, a cultural melting pot. there are Mexicans there. There are Blacks. There are White kids there. Every denomination. there are Jews, there are Christians,~, everything and it's a melting Spot, and it exist that way today: Mayor Ferret We've beginning to repeat things, .now so let's get on with this. If there is something new you got say otherwise let's give Mr. Stack the right of responding and theta till recognise you again. Do you want to make another comment? Questions to the Commission and 1' 11 sew if we can wind it sap. Go abed. Mr. black: Thank you your honor. h.et'ts *Reread from the level of thu aaotiostsat,hack to factu and lol;ic. Wow we are not talking about education. We aro not talking about Rlai.k children, White children, Jewish children or Chinese children. We arc' talking about 'toning so let's fo cure en sontna. Now. I want to go back to the minutes of Sept- ew1►..r R, 1,975 which gave rise to this controversy. Commissioner Plummer I would like to rct l;,ct hack to you may rebuttal to the answers Mt.

So 1t't's don't make any tn.i:;und.•r:ctancling. If that is the case and they went beyond it then they are putting thc.'r ae lvt•s in jeopardy. Mr. Black: Comrnisstorer, your third point was a concern about right of way improve• >+tent to Orange Street and, ns for them. According to Mr. Acton the city pays for them. According to the Coconut Grove Comprehensive Planning Study, the city would pay 75%, the individual homeowners would pay 25% . Onto again this leaves the homeowners in doubt as to their eventual destiny. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Black, let's don't have any misunderstanding. Let's don't put any words itt sty mouth or Mt. Acton. He was very clear 1 thought In stating that the improve- ments in front of the school, the school would pay for. He slid not speak to any further improvements to thebstreet. 1 asked what about the rest of the homeowners and the answer was if there are to4Lmprovements the homeowners would have to pay. But as this think herd AS t understand it.Mr. Acton correct me if I'm wrong,that this is only pertaining to in front of the school and that would he paid for by the school,, ts that correct? All right, now I thins• the question that has to asked so Mr. Black and I. both can be informed. This notion prompted by the necessity of the school would this then he continued down and carried out through the rest of the street? • correct a condition Mr. Acton: Only to in the existing right of way in front of the school th'aiceds corrections, that's the rt';niun we made It rt condition of --- Mr. Plummer: So in other words, the rest cif the homeowners would not be effected as to street improvements and cost. Mr. Black : the dilemma Commissioner,is that the minutes don't reflect that and if indeed this is to be in imposition we feel that ttie homeowners are entitled to know the exact extent and delineation because the dilemma with a conditional use as the Commission well known is that conditions become pre -conditions for conditions which are pre -conditions for other conditions and tliat erodes whole uetghborhoods as you have seen on Mary Street, Virginia Street, South 1Iayshore Drive. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Black that's why [ went through them point by point by point and made the record very clear that if it were to be granted, and I'm not saying that these are the only provisions that could be attached to this application,, Thera could be additional. Mr. black: Exactly, and the final matter your honor just so that we are clear on..this t ittuation regarding parking which concerns me is that reiterating there are to be eight parking spaces which Mr.. Acton confirmed. The pL.sns that are on file as they now stand only refloct four for full site Whiclest with two for compacts. So the plans do not conform at this point to what the planning and sentng board requires. In summary. your honor. Looking at this entire matter to content although the Montessori School is a fine school and the Idea of a Pay Care Center is a fine idea, This is the wrong' place and the wrong time based upon the wrong facts to put it on Orange Street as a result of the Co.wutsston action today in October of 197S. These aren't the facts that were presented in September of 1954. This is an entLrely new ta:ettt+r and the conditional use should be dv a red. Mayor Ferro; All right sir. Welt let's give him the right to ciese his argument and then we'll get the questions and hopefully we ca•e t',et to voting. Mr. Chopin: before t des. 1 just had u note haadrsd errs by ?1r.

'There are times when we have to support. what's good for the community and I feel that this school should be granted it's conditional use for the erection of the structure and the continuation of this admirable .activity. Mayor Terre: Seriously, n.,w 1 want to commend lelr. iakolti because he's always here on the other side and I don't want to emb:trrase Mr. Jakobi, but I'm really kind of surprtsed. Because I can play back your wordy that speak absolutely the opposite except it's just different circumstances. Mr. Wm. Jakobi: In regards to what please? Mayor Ferret Let's not yet into a big discussion. You and I will be here forever talking about it.I personally drink that the Grove and Miami its very fortunate to have the Ti ;ertail Association and a citizen as dedicated to the public welfare as you. I didn't mean in any way as a criticism but I was just pointing out that I am glad to see that you are human because 1[ thought for a while that you were just perfect, you know. Mr. Wu. Jakobi: I think I know what you mean. Judging what is the community to be concerned with the greater welfare of which community is not always an easy issue and I know that the Mayor himself is concerned with that. Lot me point out that I stood over here in support of that Downtown Convention Canter and made a very strong statement. Right? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Jakob! aside from this thing. I got to say you know the one thine that I've always said in a detriment to the organization is the only time we see hits is in the negative.

Mr. Smiths Yes sir. now on the bsidize lee scale how Mrs. Gordon: Are those children from the immediate neighborhood? Mt. Chopin: Yeso they are and that's the policy of Dade County as can be supported to send theta from the immediate neighborhood, rather than you know. Not saying that one kid can't come from another neighborhood, but in sending them the policy of the County is to send them from the itmeediate neighborhood. Mrs. Gordon: Icy the fee scale that you received f ream the subsidized child equal to the scale you receive from the non-nubsidired child? I'm asking it os a point of information only. Mt. Chopin: It's less. Sightly less it's not a gteat deal of difference. 1. think the subsidizedfees are set at Washington or some other Adnitnistroi ivc level. Mrs. Gordon: You said you were anticipating and hoping to buLld'1875 square feet of space. All right, what are you using now? Mr. Cnoptn: Well before we tore the building down we had about 2.000 feet of Rpace that we used. But we tore the building down and so now we've been relegated to using the building that was built in 1954 which is on the back property line. The number of square feet in it about 15 or 16 hundred square feet. Mrs. Gordon: What's going to happen to that building when you, if you were able to build this building? Mr. Chopin: I don't think there's any specific plans really outside of to use it for support facilities, first aid rootnts, nursery. you know, office. storage. that kind of thing. There really isn't a specific plan . Mrs. Gordon; You mentioned the ratio. L think i've heard per t5 children ? Well, do you know what the regulation is? Mr. Wapiti: Yea, we have the regulation. it'sprost"gat.y and Rehabilitative S+'rvices and the ratio --- you say before one teacher the Department of *math Mrs. Gordon; The reason I asked you this because there was a discussion I heard somwhvre from one side or other that there would be only a certain number of ---- Mr. Chopin: incidentlaliy, 1 have it opened. 1 don't know why but the ratio of personnel asd children general. The following staff ratio is based on direct supervision of. Two years of age is one person to twelve children. Three year. of age one person to fifteen children. Four years of age one person to twenty children. So I guess you real Mrs. Gordon: Gordon: That's what you art gutng to maintain.?

These are not considered trained teachers Mrs. Gordon: Someone was trying to mention before the number of adult personnel that were on premises. I'm only trying to establish,facts that's a11. I'm not hiking sides at this point. t Flo, I'm just trying to make it clear that the adult teacher ratio is approximately 1 to 15. The aides therm are additional aides of course. Mrs. Cordon: 1 think they were trying to establish how many adults were going to be in the premises and how many vehicles were going to cone to the premises by adults. 1 think this is the point that I'm trying to get to and so that's the reason for my question. Mr. Chopin: I see actually that's right. There is one teacher for approximately every 15 but there are also qualified teachers. Mrs. Gordon: Teacher's aid. Mr. Chopin: No, they're graduate teachers. Mrs. Gordon: It doesn't matter. stow many adults wilt be coming that's the point? Mr. Chopin: 6 or 7 adults will be there on a full-time basis. Mayor Ferre: All right. I'll tell you, are there any more question.: I think we all have an idea.

Is that number of parking spaces adequate or will there be an overflow onto the street? Mr. Acton: We have the required eight parking spaces the idea of being that there probably would be about 5 or 6 used by the staff. The additional two used for a ---- Mrs. Gordon: How did you make that determination'' Mr. Acton: Based upon the analysts of the number of full time or part time teachers on the premises. Mrs. Cordon: But you just heard something to the contrary, didn't you? Mr. Acton: No I thought he satd six. Mrs. Gordon: No you heard only that the supervisory teachers would be that number but there would be others who would be involved. Mr. Chopin: I'm sorry, 1 didn't mean to give that impression. There are three teachers. In fact L'll tell you who they are Ns. Deveraux, Mss. Mrs. Gordon: L don't want any names if you don't wind.

We're f loxihle and low N.tyot Ferret l think it's time the Cc'mission lit hail_ now. Is there any more questions, any more discussion on this, any more doubt;, then I'll recognize you for the purposes of making a motion. Mr. R' bosot Mr. Mayor based on they fact that the Zoning Board by tt 7/0 vote recommended the conditional use and b.a:+cd on the fact that t.hc' permit has been used and the school has been there for 21 years and my opinion the only difference that they are going to now a better facility. I move for approval subjected to the con- ditions as stated by the Planning Department. Mayor Ferret In there a second to the notion? Is there .i second to the motion of approval? All right there is a second, now for the purpose of discussion under discussion I'd like to start off the discussion now that we have a motion and a second this matter is being considered. With all due respects to the 50 sore odd letters that I got. The first written letter was Mr. Norman G. Coverlcy, is he here? Well that's all right l want to commend Mr. foverley. t understand he's a Seaman and he's out at flea now. I'll tell you this is a very, very well drafted carefully thought out letter and my congratut.3tiof5to him. 1 don't agree with evc.rythie but it's a well drafted letter. Now, this matter is going to go And I don't know which way it's gointt to go, so I don't know yet. I think as a matter of protection for the neighborhoods should it through. I think there are certain t.hinbs that we really should take into any consideration and stipulate into the record. Now, the: first point here that was trade that the street not be widened. Well there is no way the City Commission can go on record for that. Second point is to charge the corporate owner for off-street and city finance improvements without raising taxes for the benefits•..That I think takess care of itself because any improvements, There is no way that it has to be paid for you know the law is very clear. There is nothing you can do about that. Three, to utilize thecorporate taxes ,I,'ditcctly tower the taxi-, well that again you can't do. Four, to agree that any school built will he directly convertible to residence and has and was the minimum condition for the original conditional. use. Well. there «gait I don't think there is anyway we can stipulate in it that this could be used as a residence, could we legally? Five,to agree that the facility will never have more than 60 persons. Well, that takes care of itself, because you can't have more than 50. Well, you have 50 children but they said they 5. just common sense point of view there's no way you can have a school of 50 children and have 10 teachers, that would break the school right then and there. So there is nothing we can do about---- that the building wilt never be enlarged in any way. Can we stipulate now so that five years from now we don't have they went out and bought three of the lots next door and they want to put up a second building? Can we stipulate that now legally? That this is it, that's the size . you are not going to grow beyond that? Mr. Lloyd; They'd have to estate back for another conditional use. It won't help because you can't bind subsequent commissions. Mayor Ferrol Ok. fiat asking a ,�,,u,estion.

Father Gibson: Oh yea,1 think you ought to keep your word. Mayor Ferre: In other words, you are going to run it and if you sell it or it changes in uses of any kind then you got to come back to this Commission. Mr. Chopin: Yea, we agree with it.

Mr. Plummer: Yea, I had other which would state that this would be used for the sole purpose of teaching only and it would not be used in any time for any kinds of meetiag$whtch in fact would include P.T.A. meetings which could be in the evenings or things of this nature. Mr. Chopin: In other words we would nut be able to have a Parent Teacher's Meeting? Mayor Ferre: Not at night. Mr. Plummer: Not at this location in the evening hours. Mayor Ferret This is a residential. neighborhood. Mr. Plummer; In other words, what you are looking at you got S0 kids you are going to have 50 parents to the kids that the parents never come by the bus. That would be S0 automobiles conceivablly. Mr. Chopin; They don't you know your there group P.T.A. esyitc , but there is one thing that comes to the mind. Every year at Christmas time the children put on a Chriutn+aa pLay.

Father Gibson: Counsel I understand what you're saying but you know, let me tell you, this is in the context of something else. So, I want you to know I'm an old coon. You see you have 50 spaces now, you understand. I want you from now on if we give you this to remember that the people in that neighborhood have priority whether you write it or whether you say that's the. intent. Mr. Chopin: We'd be happy to stipulate to that. Mayor Ferret Yea, but that isn't what I want. What 1 woulcl like to sec in this 1s that that is not going to be a gathering place at night. 1. want that to he partof the stipulation. ®o you agree with that?

I hereby stipulate Mrs. Cordon: The fence that was mentioned as being 6 foot on the south, what is it on the east and on the west? Mayor Ferre: The question is what's the fence on the east.and the vest? Mr. Acton: They should be the same height I believe in -- that there will be a 6 foot wall ---1 believe an existing building is near the real property line but Mayor Ferre: 6 feot wall that wraps around thy property . Mr. Chopin: Excuse toe Mr. Mayor, for clarification the Planning staff has stipulated that the existing building along the south boundary of the property would nerve as a sound bu f tt'r•.

Thereupon the tore•going motion was int.rodttccd by Cvmulissionur R&boso and seconded by Cucmt n toner (Rev.) (>ibwun , the nation was passed and adopted by the followtng Vete AYES: Rev. Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Plummer and Mr. Reboso NOES: Mayor Ferre ABSENT: N nc COMMENTS TO THE REASONS FOR THE AYES VOTES OF SOME OF THE COMNLSS1ONERS. Mrs. Cordont With the stipulations as delineated in the motion. All of the restrictions and with the intent fully understood that the children that are attend- ing from the neighborhood are given preference. I will vote yes. Mr. Plummert Very briefly state thatithis was a new application for a school t would have voted no. The school does exist. 1 think this Commission has gone over- board to adequately protect what is there and 1 will vote yes. Mayor Fe:rte. Well, obviously nay vote u .denic now because this already has votes. I'm going to vote 'no' and I want to explain why I'm going to vote no. In other words, I'm a minority here and I want to explain why.and 1 ray this all the time when- ever we have these discussions. We continually wave things before this Commission where wo have a neighborhood :tnd .e community at large. Now and it's n di f f kni t decision. Tt doesn'talways go the same way. In some cases, L think they overriding injustice, the overriuiue values go to the neighborhood. In other crises the overriding argument goes to the community at large. Sometimes your are not always together there's a conflict. Now, let me• Ali o�},�is e, ens me and why 1 vote 'no'. This is as all of Coconut Grove irta ^a�s o ' tartly €meatt,ilouses -- the density is fairly high. You knowjUhere are more t: ar•s in Coconut Crove A fie a mops t roe: i t y . Fortunately, there are a lot of trees ant t iifkes; it much better. Now, 1 recognize the fact that there was a school there before much smaller in nature. What in effect we're doing is we're increasing that by improving it your'rc really going to increase the Lmpa" of it. And even though that's good for the children that are involved and it's great for the children. 1 think that you also have to weigh in the balance the people that are entitled to live in a residential community as a residential community. Now, the problem is that you know you're both right. it's not that I'm against Montessori or I'm against the school. Of course, 1'a for a school and of course I'm for children and of course I'm for education. But I think there Ls a place and a time for everything. In this particular case, 1 think the right of 50 children most of which in my opinion don't live in Coconut Grove or the City of Miami does not override the right of hundreds of people in the immediate neighborhood whose peace may be disturbed. I don't know that it will be. But it nay be disturbed and 1 think they have that right. to this particular case, 1 hapren to see it that way. Now, as I said say vote doesn't mean anything. I could of taken the easy road, you know and said well i vote with the miaortty and let it go at that. but I've got to express my opinion in the way i see this and :cis I've said before and I repeat botb sides are right. There's good arguments on both sides, but you know these things are such that you have to express your opinion and vote your conviction as everybody here has done. Everyone has voted what they in their hearts believe. to my heart 1 believe that it shouldn't be that way 1'at sorry for those of the defense and 1 vote 'no'. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, may 1 please have the clarification new because otherwise my vote was miscast. If this is not for the neighborhood and not for the City of Miami Coconut Grove area and if it is is fact a school that will be catering from outside the city titan 1 wouldnot dt.wv voted with the motion and if l don't g t that clarification thee 1 belie the right to change Lt.

Cordon: 90,.-; , is that what you said? Mr. Chapin: i didn't say that. I said right now... Mrs. Gordon: I've had mi:,giving:; about this decision ripht along. 1 honewtly feel I made the vote predicated upon certain statements .end i personally AM very uneasy about this whole thing. I really feet very bad about it. Mr. Mayor. I -•• Mr. Chopin: Lest net' snv' this Mrt.. Cordon, once this hu i lding 1<s built and wc take the federally funded children there is no way that the pt'rcentage of children outside of the immediate area is going to be more than three or four percent because we are going to be taking the heat majority of federally funded children. Mrs. Gordon: Could be also from some area quite remove from the city 111.111411, Mr. Chopin: This is the gentlemen that's going to send them to us right there he can tell you that that's not true. Don't take my word for it. But that's where I1ade County is going to send them from the Coconut Grove area. I mean again I clon't want to misrepresent you they may be a child that comes from some other area. But the vast majority. the overwhelming Majority is going to be right from Coconut Grove, that's the plan the policy of the County in sending federally funded children. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Lloyd I at very disturbed about this vote and I would like to ask your opinion. Mr. Lloyd: Well we could clarity that immediately. See. all you passed really is a motion. Now the Commission officially can only act on matters.such as this as by written resolution. Now therefore.. what the law department has to do is gettting the intent(general intent) of the Commission to prepare a resolution. It will have to be voted on officially at that time and you may vote the way you feel at that time. Mrs. Gordon: That resolution would be prepared when and when will it come before Mr. Lloyd: Well we'll attempt to do it today and present it later this afternoon if we possibly can but we have to get all of these stipulations which We'll putting in the motion in the resolution and we will do the best we enn. We'll try and have it for you today and I think what we've better do is ---- Mrs. Gordon: Does the vote on the motion bind one to the resolution? Mr. Lloyd: No. no that's what I'm saying. Mrs. Gordon: Thank you. rather Gibson: However. Mr. Mayor what disturbs tat is that these people are here and they need to leave knowing where we are and I don't want the opponents to go away saying well it's done. Get me say for your benefits and your's,sir. Theodore Gibson voted fully aware that you are going to keep those stipulations and when the resolution is prepared with the forme' fashion I'm going to be voting the same way then as I am voting now. You know and I live in the Grove, I know all of these people and I love thew . I fought for the Grove and I ain't going to chauga the philosophy that Gibson has and I just think that the people you -know --- Mayor Ferret From 4 practically point of view even if Mrs. Gordon changes her vote it's not twins to affect this unless somebody ciao c#tangos" their vote. `Coco: Now. this matter has ia.i' ed. It passed four to 040. lire. Gordon or anybody has the right to chasms their votes. Now if they change their vote it atilt passage no far as I'ti concerned. Me. Plummer: Unless two people changes their vote. Mayor Ferret Voiotia two people changs their vote. lMd this is why since it was going to pass you know since it could have passed and since it did pass, That's why 1 v:cutc'd to put in ail of the stipulations that I think Was Important to try to protect 49 OCT - 91975 the taeithberhne< 4.1 .MCA ra:s possible and I hop_' it t•::•.i.1;s out. t,t,d bless you and 1'11 set. you.

If there, is ra notion to rescind then technically Mrs. Gordon: Then theft' could be another notion entered to defer. Mayor Ferret That's right but I'm ruling as of right now the vote stands now if you want to make the motion to rescind I'll take that up and :lee if we get a second. Mrs. Gordon: I'll make that motion to rescind simply to give myself an opportunity to go back to the area and take a personal inspection to tour. Mayor Ferret All right now there is a notion now to rescind. Is there a second to the motion to rescind? Is there a second to the motion to rescind? Mrs. Cordon: Re-tonsidet is the aerual wording. l4tyor Ferre: It would be a r;otion to re -consider. it. If you do that then we are back to where we were before. Mrs. Gordon: That's right. Mayor Ferre: Then we'll opened for motion: again. The motion is to re -consider it. Mr. Plummer; You know politically it w"idbe a damn fine thing to do and defer. but yrl know I'm going to tell you something, You got to ntand up and be counted damn it. I'm not going, to second the motion. I'm sorry. (applause). Mayor Ferret Is there a motion going once, going twice, going three times? The motion to rescind has not been seconded.

REVIEW of ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Mr. Plummer: Mr. Acton, on the review of the rnvtrrnmental Preservation Ordinance, in that btif? Mr. Acton: Yes, we just recommended that all city lands that meet the standards as established in the Environmental t're3ervation District Ordinance be included in the Environmental Preservation Districts. Mr. Plummer: Do we handle that through this way of a personal appearance or do we handle it through normal procedures? I mean wouldn't it come forth in the forts of a resolution? Mr. Andrews: It's a discussion item at this point, not personal appearance. Mr. Plummer: All right. What is the will of the commission? Do you want to include all city properties? Mr. Andrews: If you do that then I suggest we include the entire City of Miami. Mr. Plummer: What are you saying, it's good for some people but it's not good for the city? Mr. Andrews: Just like we're, aren't we excluding certain portions in each district? Mr. Acton: Yes, well that's what I said. In other words we would be including those portions of city owned land that meets the standards of the Environmental Preservation District Ordinance in terms of tree coverage or geological features or whatever else. Mr. Plummer: What is your recommendation. George? Mr. Acton: Just that. Mr. Andrews: Just those city properties that meet the standards of the ordinance like private property has to comply the City of Miami should comply but it doesn't mean that every single public right-of-way and piece of property that the city owns... Mr. Plummer: I ask you again, what do you want to do, send it back for discussion or how would it be handled? Mr. Andrews: Well, this would become a policy matter of the City Commission... Mr. Plummer: Is there a motion to include city properties and treat them as all other properties that meet the standards of the ordinance? Is there a motion? The following motion was introduced by Commmiesioner Gibson, who moved its adoptions MOTION NO. 75..950 Al MOTION OF I!+t?EI!!'

Jest !ri uv,j,.'rr(•y that this item be. 7.iat3P1 and it ha:; beef':t deferred twice now and I want you to know that through Mr. Grieri': efforts end Fat-.hc,r• Gibson, you werf' the ohe that raised questions in reference to t.ele tatter, thin is the Sewage ling' c_eeitl,i down from Miami Beach acro s F.i.^.her irienJ, dc,wh to Virginia goy. One of the mein nrejumf-tits for the course that they were recommending to tlio city Commission was bee c>cl on the enet of pipe :its ono loeetion vereue another and tho intt)rrnatioh that they had presented to the city, Mr.. rri t..ra now finds th:t' b r:;• l on sorcr c:•trttr.i(: ts that have been let and other r.attc'ts that there it; con:sidt'tabtc :'ti'i ;ion botwr't'h the City of Merl and the City of Miami tit'ach as to t trc COAL; i t,vol v.+ci and it now appears that the water course is praeti'i tliy • i !'.mpen:ive a"the other course that Pia:.+ given to you which ran along the northeastern ehort' tine: and I'd like Mr. Grimm to point out real quickly some of these fact 'r n and this will be s.-.heduled again but I wanted you to have this information before that item c.une up for discussion. Mr. Grimm: I don't went to over eir*rp! i.fy thin pto1 irrs because .it kr: a complex problem and as you'll remember, Father, etthe time that you raised the question we had a limited amount of time to review it - Ae a matter of fact that night for the next morning. We werg able in that limited time to uncover iotne questions which couldn't be well answered so that as ter. Andrews pointed out it was deferred once and now deferred again. But keeping certain things in the back of your mind, and maybe it's not fair for me to emphasize this, but I want you to know that the commission was placed in the position of having to mzt'�; ' a decision that had to be made that day - Already that day has passed twice. The original route proposed for the sewage from Miami Beach to get to Virginia Key was developed by the city of Miami beach'.: public Works Department to run around the back of Miami Beach in the bay and come into Virginia Key in this vicinity (referring to met)). When that was presented to EPA they objected or the basis of c.,..tand ern the: basis of reeled - 'cal damage both of which arc argumenti.ve. Miami Beach then hired consultants to plan an alternate route which is the line you see in green. Now that green line required that the sewerage main erase across privet( property on I'itisher. Island. When it got into a hassle thatthese people that ow ec1 th it land paid yes, we'll let you go there provided you etade us equal land that, you own on t'itaher island and give us the right to connect into that line the City of Miami Beach said no and that started the whole problem. Mr. Plummer: That isn'twhat they said, they said oy-veh. Mir. Grimm: 1 ow at the same time this, w f;; going on in Latettdac time this setof plans which was already drawn and prepared has written approval. by EPA - written approval. But it had deadlines submitted to it. Those deadlines have come and gone. Now then t.'ae alternete route said, let's go this way. Now one of the factors involved in these estimates that was mentioned is that the estimate for this crossing is $678 (t think) a foot. Now when you take that across water as opposed to this across the land the green route cones out to be about $300,000 more expensive. However, there are some outer things that aren't brought out in that. One is that there are no plans drawn for this red route. So the engi- neers are going to charge theta $140,000 to draw the plans to do that. Secondly under contract right now going out of Virginia Key is a 120 inch pipe going 13,000 feet out in the ocean to a 1.00 foot depth which is being built for $592 a lineal foot. All this pipe has to do is drop to $508 a foot and the cost of the green route and the cost of the orange route become identical just by virtue of the difference of the land and water cro,;aing. Mr. Andrews: Excuse re, Mr. Grimm, you have to keep in mind the last estimate that Mr. Grimm gave you for five hundrod and scam dollars for that large line, you must appreciate that that lino is 120 inch line, lour tines larger than the 54 inch line in green and starting at a depth of 18 feet and going down to 100 feet of depth of wstvr and this tine - the groan line - at its ttwximt'm depth would be about 20 some feu*t perhaps. • Mr. Cam: Right. And just trying to sect some eppcoximtsation of labor cots on that Acute ass a (*iifuronce because of the fact that divers can work limited tines in that depth of water we estimate it will take 5 times au touch latter discounting the since of the pipe just to do that. Mr. Plummors Where in the devil you getting out oven figuring wo king a hundrod Coot d'pt.l: thorn? Mr. Grimm; no. the• line that's under construction right now is going to a t:uadred toot of depth. Out that line that its wider ccxstrawt right now only cast $5)2 ra OCT 1975 tort yet they're loll_ J you a lin•- ' the si a in le cost $678 a foot. is going to Mr. Plummer: Well, t'vu rot t,t.w; fr r you, whore that green tine! in there i.:; he: 18 foot ut water. Mr.Grimm: I didn't ray that, that's hue deep they're going to bury it. They're going to bury it ( feet holing the bottom so that it's protected. And that brings up another print. When you put this... 1)y the way► let.'s get, hawk to the deal• ing3 between Miami i Leach, and 1 said to you the si gni f irant thing about tl►iy wanted the right to connect .into the green line and ch th'; the property. Well, if they don't eonneet i.rtto the green litre that moans that :- r,rt., clay we, the City of Miami ary going to be f;acc.l with diving somebody permission to build another ono bevause there has to be some way to eel: eewige from Fi her Island if and when it it; devel- oped to the treatment plant. So there you would be faced with granting another easement to someone for sone line. Also, if and when Fisher Island is developed it is logical that a causeway would connect it with Virginia Key and wherever you put that causeway you would want to avoid that line because when you start driving piles for building bridges or any other type of structure next to a 54 inch force train you want to make sure you stay well enough awAy to protect it. Lvery sewage line we had that passes underneath our expressway leaks even though we required the contractors drill well below the bottom of the pipe before they started driv- ing piles. Now, thin line: poses another threat here. It is the only ocean front- age that the City of Miami owns on this; part of Virginia Key and although it's not likely that we'd ever build any buildings or anyother type structures there if and when we ever build a marina we'd have to take that into consideration. Out more important this area hasn't :suffered a major hurricane in more than 10 years and one of the areas that's sub,;ected to severe damage in hurricanes are beaches and particularly this end of Virginia Key. It is conceivable with this only being burried 4 feet below the ground that it could be washed out. Now. I don't profesr� that these are all of the pertinent factors, I don't profess that they're all 100t accurate but there is certainly enough - by the way, :i, also !pent about 45 minutes on the telephone with Mr. Jesson in E.P.A. in Atlanta and they have some causes for concern now too. Mr. Plummer: When are we going to discuss t? is mIt t ei again? Mr. Andrews: We're going to wait on Miami Beach who asked that this be deferred and they will contact us if they wish to be heard. They have at this point in time approval from tow to go with the green line. They have approval with the green tine if they wish to proceed... ReV. Gibson: ...eventually that 100... Mr. Grimm: No, sir. The 100 foot one is one that is now under construction from the Virginia Key Plant which gets all of the affluent from that plant out into the Gulf Stream. Mr. Andrews: The only reason that's brought up is to demonstrate that it's a much larger line at greater depth and it's cost was below $600 but they were estimating for the green line a much smaller line at shallower depth at a cost of about $680. It just didn't seem reasonable. But nevertheless, we've given them approval for the green line route. That was given to them about six months ago And they're trying to find other ways to construct the line. Rev. Gibson: You're saying that we go with the green... Mr. Grimm: Yes, we've never had any problem with the green line, Father. Rev. Gibson: I want to make sure. YOU see, he reasrnn I want to make sure I understand what you're tolling me is i get rather upset - every municipality comes hero and wants us, you know, that the world it coming to an end today. And I always say let's ask the professionals. That's why we have that profes- sional staff and I want to accentuate that. It angers me world without end that their professionals must give us advice wiLhcwt our professionals having an oppor- tunity to check it out. And 1 would hope, Mr. Andrews, that in the future you would say to them right off th4t the City expects our professionals render an opinion. Now we may nut take it but man, if we have, you and we don't l t nten to rat, My Geri, we're just css bad as the other tcsltow. i'r just dtuturbsd. I want to t.h enk you fur bringing that up and I'll wait for the official hearing. Do we raced a soot ioo? Mr. A nlrrawas just for your iutormation at this stag*. (it; OCT !

Ms. Janet Mc Al ileys Janet t4c Ali is y, 2025 : ecef fc'e Street. 1 am the legislative chairpc.r'•oe for the Cocont.r' erov':• 1;1eme•tetaty School eer.A. Mt. Pltnner, we petit- ioned on September loth to Mayor Petro for a public hearing on this matter. I received ti tnt'mno from the: mayor's office that we were to be on the aeet la for a ;public hearing September 25th. When 1 called to see what time We were to be on the agenda 1 was toted the City Manager's Office knew nothing about it and t informed hie that we were circulating petition: concerning the reinstatement of the barri- cadets. No said, I believe it was Mr. Fades I was speaking with, that I should go ahead and Submit the poti.ti.rna, they would meet ;iaet it aim.i.niet rat ively dLt°tit( and if they did not decide in out favot that we would be: cjivcn a public hearing on October 9th. The reason he said we could not be on the agenda for September 25th was the 5 day rule of notifying the people in the neighborhood. I understand and appreciate that ruld. That's why we were certainly eager to comply with all the rules and wait until October 9th. but we feel that we have. I had assumed that the people that didn't want the barricades had been notified. We were told by Mr. Eades that we should be here by 3130, that we would be on the agenda as close to 3:30 as possible. We have notified our parents, our children, made spec- ial arrangements to be here and it is rather shocking that we couldn't be heard as we expected to be. Mr. Plunmers I don't under any circumstance dispute whatyou eay ie the truth but according to the published agenda it says very clearly "personal appearance" and this commission cannot act, only listen to discussion and the only way we can act is if it is on this agenda as a public hearing. t'm not arguing the point, probably what you say is true and I know you're very ei r ppointed. n1 1 I'm say. ing to you is as it is advertised legally we cannot act. Ok? Now if you want to go chop Mr. Andrew's head off I'll loan you a knife. • Ms. Mc Alileyt I have never had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Andrews about this but I have spoken with Mr. Eades, Mr. Crouch, Mr. Hays and we have been try- ing to gut it straightened out onc.' and for all Ind we've been put off twice. Mx. Plummer: I'm not dioput1ng what you're saying aired I don't know why the Mayor isn't hero so he can be the bad guy instead or me but all I'm saying to you is the truth of the matter - we can listen to all the discussion you want even though there was a gentleman here in opposition to what you want and he was very much upset that ho couldn't speak and based on thatwith a public- appearance item there is nothing we can do until a public hearing is called and advertised. Rev. Gibson: J. L., why don't you tell here that the barricades will remain up until the natter is publically heard. Ms. Mc Aliley: And we do appreciate that because we have seen children come very close to being hit by cars on that. street. Rut I really wish we could have some explanation why we have been told twice that w would have a public hearing. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andrews, would you try and explain why you did what you did. Mr. Andrews: Yes, you'll recall, and we've had so many meetings here recently: you'll recall that the Mayor had asked in the commission's presence that there was this matter of the barricades with reference to this street and you were standing at the conclusion of the meeting hero when we were discussing and clar- ifying the subject and we veil understood that it was the school and the barricad- ing of this particular street. When the Major asked that this be achrduted on this next agenda for a personal appearance so that Choy could eoes: down and di n- VOUS this with the commission. The gentl.!atu was hero and tlr. Mayor, in your absence it was My reernmsndatlon that rather than just hoar from one the lady and the school children had not shown up, at that point in time and 1 rec anmended to the commission that we go ahead and advertise for this as a regular public: t►oar ing. NOOM Mayor Forte entered the meeting. Mayo r M''urc•H: Wall tlsat's what it is now. ThL4 i st not 4 public hearing? f7 OCT !

Ms. Mc Alit'+t that what we thought too. Mayor Ferro: , W-1 t, how men? people aro hero for this public hearing? Pelee your ltanls, wr:tuld you please. t .apologise to all of you for the. inconvenience. Now let me tell you what we've lone itt the reantimo ctncl t don't know whc, :1. en what side bat my position, and you'll hove to forgive me. If yott gent angry with the I'm ;sorry. My poi.tion is that until we have a public hearing those barricades: have got to s;t:ay there because we're not about to take the chance of some kid hay.. ing a problem or getting into an accident and then it is on cur conscience. So 1 assume that's your side. Ms. Mc Miley: I'm representing the Coconut: Grove I feet ntary School P.T.A. Mayor Ferret All right, is there anybody on the other side t,t this that's here? Mr. plummets Mr. Mayor, prior to your arrival there were some people sitting over here who have a contrasting view and it was at that tine where she was not here that we scheduled the public hearing for the 23rd. Mayor Ferret All right. Well, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you and in the meantime those barricades will he ep until that time. Is that right, Mr. Andrews? They were up as of Tuesday. •ra.r. Andrews: Yes. They were up the day that we concluded c'ur meeting and it was slightly before the noon hour. Ms. Mc Aliley& Will we be notified in writing what time we are expected to be here? Because I was told on the telephone by Mr. .:ides we should be here by 3:30. Mr. Andrews. Yes, we will notify them. Rev. Cibsont Mr. Mayor, is it impossible to say right now, these people are here and you know there was only one in opposition. There was only one man, ther might have been others but it seems to me, Mr. Mayor, these people are here. I know we shouldn't be making the agenda but the manager is here. Who makes it? Mayor Perres Father, that's not the point. The point is all these people ore here and I would assume they're all here because they want the barricade up. Is that right? Ms. Mc Alileys Right. Mayor Ferret Ok. So that's this side. i didn't know which side was here but there are other people who don't want the barricade up and I think they as cit- izens have got the right to present their position and to be heard. I don't know whether it is one or ten or fifty of them. AS far as I'm concerned, as far as your immediate problem is concerned the barricades stay up until we have the public hearing. I frankly don't see how in the world we can take those barricades down. I think we have got to let whoever is objecting to that have their day before uu. I mean you wouldn't it any other way, would you? M. Mc Miley: Certainly not, Mayor Ferre, and we had requested on September LOth time on the agenda to diacusts this; for a public hearing and we received a communication from your office that we were on the agenda for September 25th. When I contacted the City tdaeagAr's Office to ask what time he didn't know any,' thing about it, the gentlemen I spoke with. 00 Mayor Ferret That wars Frank Cob° you stalked to? HA.

P.ight? Rev, Gibson: Mr. ?Mayor, as much a., I'm in eyepatey with the people who want it, and I live- in the Grove and I know that, 1 would went to the commission not to disregard the other side. Since you're getting the relief until such time as the other side i:; heard I think if I were the person doing or I had the power t would assure the:;e people by setting the hoar today, now. The Manager can do that and I would urge my fellow Coconut Grove people to let us set the hour in your presence) everybody know!: that's the hour, the barricades are there, nothing is against you and then they can't ever say we were not democratic. Mayor Ferret Look, if we steam roll this thing and railroad it through today I'm going to have a dozen letters and everybody else and the Manager and they're going to say that they didn't have their day in court and that that's not the democratic way. Listen, you don't know how these things happen around here. Loots, we goofed. Ok? There'F; no question about it. Mr. Andrews, we goofed. t don't know whether you goofed or Gomez goofed or Frank Cobo goofed but we were supposed to have a public hearing. That's the way 1 understood it. Frank told me that a week ago. He said Ms. Mc Miley has called and everybody has called and we're going to have a public hearing. I said fine, that's the only way to do it, have everybody present, we'll have a Donnybrook - everybody fights - and the commission votes the way we always end up voting anyway. Ok? taut 1L's got to follow that process. Ms. Mc Aliley: We believe in the process. Mayor Ferret And we've got to stick to it and I'm sorry for the inconven- ience. It's not your fault it's our fault and I apologize for that but we've got to stick with that process. Now let's set the day and let's set the hour. Mr. Plummer: The day was set as the 23rd and I think because school child- ren are involved why don't you make it 3:30. Mayor Ferro: What hour would you like to have it? What is best for you? Ms. Mc Miley; Three -thirty. Mayor Perres Three -thirty. And I'm sorry again. Paul, we've got to get... This is the second time today we've had a problem where we helm this lack of communication. This morning we gave out a permit... Mr. Andrew:: I don't know if people are using they term too loosely as a public hearing. That means something very definite. That takes en advsrtise- raent in a newspaper with certain lead time and that's different than having a personal appearance which is a public appearance and people tend to use this interchaugeebly. Mayor Forte; l'•sui, you dud I both known that this is a hot eosttrover::iei item. It's got to be a public appearance. We can't do this try... I mean it has to be a public forum. Mt.

Judge Allen Schwartz: Mr. Mayor, thank you tor recognizing me. The only reason that I wish to speak at this time is that I was able to secure a break in my schedule on this occasion and nay not on the next. My name is Allen Schwarz. My address is 6100 W. Suburban Drive. I am not, I'm sorry to say a citizen of the City of Miami but because of the excellence of the school two of our children do go to Coconut Grove Elementary School and I'd just like to place on record my support of the continued existence of the barricades. Thank you very much. 14, POSSIBILITY OF CITY ACQUIRING 30 OR 40 ROOT PRUNED TREES Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, 1 have a message here that I'd like to put before you. The A.1.A.'s and through Mr. Thurston Hatcher have :30 or 40 root pruned oak trees that we nay have and have offered it to us and so far we have not yet taken advantage of the replanting of these trees. (I'm going to wait until the Mayor is free so he can hear me) Mr. Bayer, I know that this matter has already been referred to your department, Mr. Andrews. maybe not directly to you I don't know. Mayor Ferret How many trees arc there? Mrs. Cordon: 30 or 40 root pruned oak trees. They're worth thousands of dollars and we have not yet taken advantage of receiving these trees and if we don't take them and receive them quickly they're going to be destroyed because the properties are going to be developed. Now we've been talking a long time :about tree banks, saving trees and environmental preetervation districts and the ball of wax and here we have 30 or 40 trees and what do we do, we sit on our hands - nothing. I'm going to give you this message, Mr. !Andrews, and you follow it up if you would with your department rapidly otherwise the trees will not be available. DEVELOPMENT ftM INTERIM REPORT BY Nr.

Our presentation is vein: to be first a shortpteser ation by elide form of .t repert which yee will e'eeei'.'e it week or so. We h tVe had pree.ntetioes to thI' ?latenin:l Advi my Itoer-d who is reprc4tir tt:ed hero 'lolly by firs. Alexander. Atter our preeentafion we will make reference to the r1 ci- L is requirements of the new 1975 Cempt ehe►►eive Planning Act. So if I can :tart With the lights out and the slides on. l!CTat TttEt UPDN A SLIDE l'Pt:S!:WrtTtoN WAS MADE. Dr. Wallace: 1 iret, why do we need it plan? You knew full hnt tot the record first of all a comprehensive plan i:; a 1ort,i1 requirement of the City Charter. In addition the recently en.u:t er1 state legislation act of 1975 requites res every municipality to adopt a plan by July 1st of 1971. And furthermore, once a comprehensive plan has been adopted the act requires that all public and private development be in c,onforrrnance with it as well as implementing action such asi zoning so thee fr'. the first time in the State of Florida and perhaps for the first time in any state in the utii on the :.act nprehensi ve Planning work is vary very real and re•eningful as opposed to being an exerciee that you can t.akcr it or loare it. Although the city has prepared comprehensive plans for some neighborhoods or functional districts such ,as Coconut Grove, downtown, Little River, Northeast Community, many other parts of the city have not been studied or planned. The trap on the right shows the inventory of past and present plane. further, some previously prepared plans such as that for Little Havana deal only with some aspects of the Comprehensive Plan Based on the new requirements of 1975 leav- ing Other aspects unstudied. Other stedic3 were accomplished some yearns ago such as the Drickell. Area Study published in 1970. clanging conditions such as the proposed locations for rapid traneit stations may be predicated on the update of the planer. Further, Metropolitan Dade County has recently adopted a compre- hensive development master plan which includes the. City of Miami. However, maey aspects of the plan are very general and in actual fact, of course, under the new Comprehensive Planning Act the Dade County Plan by and large does not have legal status in the City of Merril except for those elements of it which are under the jurisdiction of the county itself. Thus the city needs more tpcc.ific guide- lines for development. In addation to which new federal funding proyiams under the Community Development Act of 75 are directed to local levels of government and the City of Miami needs direction for the preparation of the Community Develop- ment Act application. The preparation of the Ni :mi Comprehhensive Development Plan was authorized by the city and funded under Federal Revenue Sharing Programs under the 701 grant. What kind of plan are we preparing? eirbt of .all it iu comprehensive in scope and after the slide presentation I will show you a list which you, of course, are all familiar with of the cletne'ntrs required in the new 75 Planning Act. What you see on the slide is the inventory of current programs. an inventory that includes all kinds of activities that arc under way in the city. The plan deals with all aspects of metropolitan systems which affect or are affected by the city. The plan will integrate previous plans and programs developed by the city for other agencies so they can facilitate cooperation and coordination and in fact, one of the new requirements of the 75 act is intergovernmental coordinating element. Next, the M.C.D.P. is neighborhood oriented. That is the plan deals with neighbor- hood concerns as well as citywide issues. We're beginning the phase in which the detailed district plan by district planning will be underway. It gives the basis for continued citizen involvement in the Planning process both through the Planning Advisory Board and tank forces that are going to be set up in the various districts, allows each neighborhood to identify local issues and to develop specific objectives. Next, the plan in Implementation oriented. The planning process initiated in the preparation of the plan will be the basis for ttha preparation of a six year capitol improvement program and zoning ordinance amendments, revisions and renaappinq. The slide thaws the current generalised :toning pattern which will be the subject of detailed studies coning out of this particular planning effort as an additional charge. The consultants were chergesd to undertake a three phase study terminating in the preparation of the Miami Ce ep ehenstve Neighborhood Development Plan initiated in April. It is :scheduled for completion in O tuber of next veer. The first phrase has boon a city wide basis. Me first phase included an inventory of existing conditions, a descriptiun of the dynamics of growth and change+, the identification of problems and opportunities, summary at ejcalts and objectives from previous plans and studies and from the review of the Planning Advisory Board and the city-wide concept development +t which has just been completed. The report is organised to answer the following question ss What is the tomcat situation as to the inventory; what is likely 04 happen, that iu what are projections as a COW' e=464100 of city-wide analysis; third what aru the cansagvsnees - :some of which we like and anaea of which we don't like', which :ens the application of the g^al s r� r to the situation and what is likely Lo !, ipl.*n; EThi than finally what can we do in term. of altortiate courses of action to ~pit ig.ite the negative of;bets; and to achieve the goals. first it; terms of what is the Current situation I'm to very quickly ;;c, through the naps. This show.; the gen,..ra1isevd land Witte :,hcwit;l the 1' t ,ic framework cat the whole city. Wo ptepared an analysis of the environmental resource:; and the map you saw/ before that, an urban design framework, that is the actual structure of the major building, the major concentrations of activity, the streets, n('wr+re and the utilities and so on. This map shows the sanitary sewer system status which points up both opportunities and problems. The test :;lice shows the community facilitioa, consideration of those. The slide on the left :shows public housing and one of thF, waterfront';, it rather unattended waterfront. Tho next slide :shows the analysis of currr.nt traffic voltttn••:; again actually on .a region wide basis an Wall ;i:; the city :it;;-'lf and our eharT:.s to identify thwsF' yews: within the city in which thorn aro significant point:; of congestion and to recommend modific:at•• ions to the traffic network in order to help solve those. Housing sub -markets, the housing eot;ditionst the concept of sub -markets are there_ are sub -markets within the overall market of different housing types demanded and nupplfeJ for different inntn• '.;roue_:. 1Y,r e•x.irplr., the areal along the waterfront (highrise, midrise and so on) . The col-ri in the housing sub - markets, Boris, if you could refer to the legend you right describe what those colors mean. Mr. $otia3 bramovs Co back to the housing sub•market3, please. ;each one of, there are three major categories of housing sub -markets, the single family which is the !fret category to the left; the duplex and the multi -family which is in the red. The darker the color the sounder the construction and the more stable the area is. Each one of the sub -markets is based ona number of factors cost of housing, tenure, condition, age of structure. I believe that's all of them. Or. Wallace: What is likely to happen includes suet, things as growth trends study of the population forecasts. Population forecasters are notably inaccurate but it is possible to establish a reasonable range of these forecasts. The next slide shows the population dynamic eynthee.is and the slide on the right, the areas in blue and the arrows in blur, generally show roncent.t ation a of Anglo int ra-c•c unt y mobility - that is the arrows show where people live and where they tend to move so that you see arrows going mostly out of :•lams in that particular case. The black concentration and rather the greens, the area up there in the northern end of the city shows the concentration of black families and their intra-county mobility, the tendency to go again in different directions. You might notice, for example, the area immediately north and westof downtown with a great brow; arrow that goes to the other area of green that shows one of the major forced population moves as a consequence of the expressway construction and some other major development prog- rams. The reds indicate the Cuban concentrations and show the intra-county mobility there, the tendency for the more affluent Cubans to move out to Westchester and beyond and south. The brown, there is a small area of brown there near Wynwood, show the Puerto Rican concentrations and the tendency in terms of their mobility to move towards the northwest. In turn there are elderly concentrations that are shown in the asterisks which are public housing. The rest of the inventory maps will be shown throughout the presentation. In terms of building activity... This slide shows the regional activity centers(we go back to that one which is one of the regional activity centers). Mr. Aramov: I'd like to describe a little bit further some of the population trends which we have found in the City of Miami. Dr. Wallace described some of the trends that have been happening in the past few years in terms of the Anglo concentrations and we broke up the major groups into Anglos, Cubans, Puerto Ricans and blacks because it is easier to trace the migration patterns if you tank abneet them in those terms. It is much more difficult if if you start talking about groups on the basis of socio-economic characteristics as a whole. The Anglo concentrations: along the bayfront and the Cuban concentrations in Little Haven and Allapdttuh and the move westward from there its the groups become more affluent and able to afford other kinds of housing. The concentrations of blacks in Model Cities and in the Ove{rtown area and the major :move from the evertown area to the Medal Cities area :ess .a result of ease occurencess in the 1960's such as the construction of highways. Out also let's Look at some of the things Chet aro going to be happening in the city ©r wheat wed like to do is project some of those happenings further. One of the things that we aey will be honing in the future is that the Latin way of life: will become every geneses; focus of the city, that Miami will become a bL-ling- ea1 city, and it: in already, but even iw re.so of the use of Spanish as Montreal is in the u40 of hrrusnc.it. The city'e iraportenee as a ftnmial center will continue to grow nLncee it its already the hub of a large area that stretches out into than Carrtbbeen and Latin America. industry, on the other heard, will continue to rove out of the city because of the shortage of expansion space although the tren3 will, L � � 72"' OCT it 1975 0 be glow era industry h bar supply, -�:�itwt';:;; to i"'.�:�d_� too : r �:� their la ply, Many of the Workers in this intdastrt 1 plants 1 i.•'.' within the city anc1 certain fthanci ittl advantuges to the companies in nevin t i^:ay be lost in the new locations require too long to i'rtt'►,'!jt t.? for iti rs *r: t):"A' `t'. t . got t:) and from their ;ti{.)i.

The high cost of gasoli r_. will undoubtedly hay is spur to close in housing but bec•au ,e of the t;^.:ircity of land and it'•, high cost coti.;t.rut•tion will be a t;.ulti-storied structures. Thew need for truly low cost housing will continue to escalate but the high costal land and construction will mean that extcnst,e subsidies will be required inorder to satisfy demand. These are sone of the trends and in fact last time we were talking with bunter flo:,r;, our i:t*ondmic Bub., Consultant, he called them tearless fore:',.t:it.:; of ,{„ntrr iims. Now. let'r; lock at what are some of the constwquenrF:.:. Dr. Wallace: Thank you, Brice. In term; of some of the consequences the housing costs in Miami are fourth highest in the nation. Less than 30' of the population can afford to buy a single family home today. That is a single fam- ily home which cost $30,000 in 1970 costs $45,000 today while the median family income only increased from $10,000 to $12,000 during the same period. What you see here are housing problems, If you could read the legend on that map, noris, it would be indicative where there obviously are areas of white there are few housing problems. Where there is crosshatch the single crosshatch becomes the first level of problems. The second double crosshatch becomes more serious com- binations of problems. And the c.crp] i.catc'd 1mve] of or 6 crow::hatches becomes very serious housing problems identified. The outcome of high housing costs has been an excessive overcrowding, an increase of 122 between 1960n and 1970, Con- dition and over payment foe housing stock which lacks the quality in terms of spaciousness, private open spice e. ic`.rtt'ia t to a suitable living environment. It would appear as though even today we're building the ghettos of tomorrow. The result has been that the demand for housing particularly for middle class famil- ies has shifted to areas where the housing is hewer, better quality and where there are more amenities. The attractiveness of cheaper land, taxing incentives and greater regional accessibility has influenced the location and relocation of nijor industrial activities outside the city. Changing retailing practices, decreasing purchasing power of the inner city residents, less expensive land, ample parking and easy access to exprt?ssw.iy; inf]ucnce the location and relocation of major... This slide illustrates some areas in which there is inadequate open space, inadequate recreation and play areas partly because there is also inadequate parking space and in many recreation areas even though there is adequate space it is under utilized because it is under managed. Declining commercial strips have created poor environmental conditions in many parts of the city and for low nobil- ity groups little choice for shopping. This shows environmental hazards and the areas in blue and darkest blue show areas that are flood prore within the 100 year flood limit. The illustration on the left is, of course, the impact of the airport on the area immediately adjacent to it, Practically all of the center part of Miami as a matter of fact. Now this problem synthesis includes such things as indicating the impact of declining commercial strips that have created poor environmental conditions in many parts of the city and for low mobility groups - little choice for shopping. Increased commuting: only 49% of the people who live in the city work in the city. The orientation towards the autoteobile as a major means of transportat- ion has resulted in an increased lack of mobility for the low income 'population who cannot afford automobiles. As a consequence, a new form of distribution has resulted. The accessibility to many of Miami's open apace and recreational resources, particularly along the water teeveseLtate s the use of the car thus limit- ing the potential user group and with very few areas within the City of Miami really accessible. Miami's main recreational resorts, the coastline is accessible to the public only the few locations within the city, There is a severe shortage of mar- ina tfi cilitios. There is u deficiency of neighborhood parkas in many of the: city. A lack of facilities and equipment in exist Liu' parka as well as insufficient suker- visL e h .. tttsulted in under utili.atiun of the parks nyl tots.

However, it's not all prob- lems there are many opportunities - opportunities for future residential growth. brickell, Little Lagoon, Edgewater, opportunities fur rocrealional activitti+s - the Orange Bowl Park, Hay front Park and better. u ;e: of exi tittg facilities for active recreation; opportunities for mixed activity center::; the Miami River.' Downtown Civic Center and around transit stations with very good access. Oppor- tunities for increased support of the economic base downtown, the port, the Civic Center(this is the port, the outer was the Civic Center - referring again to slider) Little Havana and the possibility of .annexation of land under some cir- custtr tances. We come finally to the question of what are the consequences and what aro the consequences we don't like and what can we do about them. Shown very gener- ally here is the city-wide concept plan and 1 think perhaps you ought to read the legend on that. one Boris, if you have that there or maybe ;just stand up and read it from in front because 1 don't think anybody in the audience can Pee what the legend says. Just identify the other colors. Mr. Drantovt INAUDIBLE Dr. Wallace: We're at the point now where I would like to emphasize that the concept planning process is one in which we will go down into each district and begin the same process of analysis ending up concept plans for the district. It's what we would call an iterative process;, that is one that gets progressively into more levels of detail and here we've rade our first ntab at this including a stab at the goals. There are no r;l ides but we do have it slide on existing land use that goes parallel to this, don't we? Yes. This is existing land use shown along with the generalized concept plan. Jf course, the commercial along some of the major streets is generally below the level of detail of the concept plan and will be however, part of the detail of the neighborhood district plans. Goals include conserving and maintaining the tingle family housing stock in stable residential areas where little new construction is presently occuring inorder to maintain a diversity of housing choice. In areas experiencing increas- ing in density, Little Havana as an example, encourage the development of new housing types which will make urban living more attractive to middle income famil- ies. In high density co:ta:erciel areas such as around downtown, $rickell and Edgewater encourage a mix of high density residential with high density commercial so a better balance can be achieved between daytime and nighttime uses. Increase the number of publically subsidised units and distribute that housing throughout the region - I emphasize the region but in close proximity to low skilled employ- Inent centers in order to avoid concentrations of assisted families. Over 60% of the region's subsidised housing is in the city today. Only .150 new ones annually are to be subsidised while there is some 16,000 families on the wafting list for public housing alone. Reinforced marine industries along the Miami River and along the bay' promote the expansion of the garmet industry along the F.B.C. raiLroruls encourage the consolidation of industry along 20th Street and promote the development of the Port of Miami in otder to increase omptoyement opportunit- ies and the economic bese' promote the development of diversified commercial renters, promote the development of industry which can be attracted to the deter- iorating commercial strips for heir visibility to adjacent expressways and strengthen the downtown as the firwncia4 center of the region and promote ca narc- 141 and tourist related development in order to strengthen the economic base of the city awl cresto job opporrueittuoi to promote the development oC existing apectstised activity °enters, the Civic center and the Design Center and higher density residential development to the imm lirite vicinity of these canters enabling walk to works promote the development of rapid transit in the City of lit eL and inwaww bus service; increase recreational opportunities in existing publtcally owned Land and perks such as Virginia Key, avenge fowl Stadium, etc; preserve 74 OCT!

(text elide) The next activity, and I'm going to a::k Allen Pruett to describe the :;ketches cis we go through thee;, the next activity .is the planning cti_;tric:ta... fhows the planning districts; we're dtvidinq the city, we've divided the city with the Depart- ment of Planning into f, major planni.ne di.r;t..rict.s and each of these will be overlaps, a number of neighborhoods. tech of three., will be the besi e of the P1,innieg Advic;nry Board extending and developing task forces within each of tht»;e areas to work with them and advise the P.A.D. which in turn will be rtdv.i;aing you in tome of the plan. Mr. Allen Pruett: Here you see one example of very simple techniques which can be used to improve pedestrian environments - shade, protection from the sun; places to sit, Miami's commercial ,trips are very long; next one we have a typical resident- ial environment - very little landscaping, wide streets. Here you stye what some very simple techniques can be utilised - landscaping down the center of the streets in Medians, places to sit, street lights in scalp with pedestrian activity. Here you see examples of what can be done along the bay:;hore - protection of natural shoreline areas, places to sit, landscaped walkways down to the water's edge. Again a very siepl.e technique to make t.hc w:tter's edge more usable, .fresh water shower facilities. information systems can be utilized along the bayfrent to make marine ecology of the bay more visible. here is an example of Miami's freeway system now and what it could be utilizing some of the trees from the much discussed tree hank. Again another example along the major movement corridor giving definition with lanrl- seeping. Dr. Wallace: Our next step is to identify local needs and develop neighborhood concept plans with the six planning districts which you wee in the slide on the right. This is an example of Little Havana which I'm going to ask Mr. Bern+ello to speak to. Mr. Willy Bermellu: Briefly, we have identified a couple of problems that are apparent in the are of Little Havana. (1) Shown in the bright orange and yellow are parking problems. These are a result of the fact that a majority of the residential structures in the area were built prior to the zoning ordinance of 19s0 of the city thus not meeting any of the parking regssirements. Due to the fact of the narrow right of way on the streets and lack of on -site parking these areas are very congesited. Dr. Wallace: I think it might be useful, Willy, if you could step up and point to the specific things, maybe just shout if that thing doesn't work. This is area D, by the way, on the nap on the right so you can see the scale at which we then step up the level of d.'tail. Mr. Beriiw4los Ok. Basically again the area in orange are the areas where you presently find major parking problems both in the residential and the commercial areas. The red arrow:; that you show in between have been satreeta that were once two way streets that were converted into one way lanes in order to facilitate traffic to relieve congestion. However, the impact of one way streets as you well know in areas that are reeLdenttal have quite an amount of impact as far as th safety and the character of the stroets in the residential neighborhoods in those areas. Down along l7th and 22nd AVenue where there aro proposed a four loner widen- ing of the stroets will also have major impacts on the area in the future year;:. some of the other problems that we are facing now in Little Havana in the cross- ts'atched fight brow is a deficiency for day care facitities. It covers approx- imately 40% of the geographical area of the Little Havana boundary. Almost ail c. ' the elataentary school;; in the ar's aro overcrowded otherwiso operating over loot capeeLty. The area that Ls outlined in the blue tine is an strew that in to the 100 year flood plans tihtch you saw prevLoussly to the citywide map. This is:; the area that woult be covered with water in the case of a major hurricane. The area to the right corner of the asp that has a grey Lev its the are4e were we have problems with the sanitary sewers due to the age, infiltratton and whet awakes it worse is the proximity of it to the Miami lover. I believe those are the mine peubleiatc gat we have identified at this time. Thank you. 75 OCT O 1V3 Dr.. Wallace* Think 1,k:a vor; much. l f. we c: ,!;lrl have the lights on. The two charts on your t i ctht, mr.mlic,rn of the :i .; i .r„ Vay.)r, show the ela.m 'nt s; that are required in the new 1475 cc,:'04-::.;ivc' plan act. f'irit of all th tc:rr*a of, coneral tequir•:'m n a C'rlr' r.F I;,'+ l:s .,r4,t.' 11^.'A 2:equirnts is 111.0_► Y refer to tho bluer text which says tls+' C'o•ti,ro;tere:;ivo Plan shall consist of princi- ples, guidelines and standards for the Or•i.•Yly and balanced future economic, so:Aal, phy:si.c.al, environmental and fi ;coat devc'1op� ,r;t r>.` tho area. f'rr the first Hine all of this." kinds of developments are included to in:;ur0 that plena that arcs developed In they :;t.ato of Florida are tot the' rlci kind of :;implo kitvl of phyeie :al planning one map sort of plans.

Conservation, recreation and open space, housing - a more detailed element is now required than h.t3 been required heretofore.

These ly and large will be plans which already exist which we will fold into the Conprehen ive Plan. Then there are optional elements which I will nut lintin detail some of which, however, are included in our contract, that is our - such as the historical and scenic preservation, com- munity design element and circulation of non -automotive vehicular traffic. Ware on schedule, wo believe and we're now starting the neighborhood district plan, actually have started the neighborhood district planning overlapping the enc1 of Phase I a little bit: and the Planning Advieery Board is setting up a i chedule of contact and extension into each of these planning districts. We're coordinat- ing our work very closely through the department of planning with the C.U. applicat- ion target area citizen participation work under the Office of the City Manager. This is the end of our presentation. October 1976, sir. Mrs. Cordon; Will you answer a queztio:r:' The question is that we've had syeveral neighborhood plaits like the Little River Plan, the Coconut Grove Plan and I want to know how these plans are fitting with your overall Comprehensive Plan because we are in the process of adopting neighborhood plans - Northeast Plan, we've had recently. Could you speak to that, please? Dr. Wallace: Yes, I'll speak briefly and then ask Mr. Acton if he'd like to also expand on my comments. Where there are existing plans, and if you'll remember on the slides we showed areas where the plans have already either been cox pleteed; where they have been completed we have reviewed them. We've already done that. We have reviewed them. They've been referred to us by Nr. Acton and the depart- laent and where they are in accordance with the new 1975 Planning Act we simply tad theca as part of the overall comprehensive plan. However, since luny of them were done some time ago our planning activity will be to go to the district and say, well now - let's Gray Coconut Grove where there was a very extensive planning activity - say to the spa.-ta community participating group, "What additional changes do you now see as nece:sssary and desiirable as a consequence of the passage of time and changed assumptions and so on?". Speaking to that Coconut Grow Plan, however, it did not contain, for example, a housing clement and to what we'll have to do is add a housing eelenent to it and taste our work is in conjunction, that in we're working very closely in planning teams with the Department of Planning, in that particular case Jack Left who is responsiblo for the city for the adrlter plaentng work its going to be heading up the 0-arming tease in that p.arttculer district with additions and a Aix of loth our staff and the [Deportment of Alarming staff. Mrs. Gordon: In other woccl3 what you're redly !;saying is thet you're accepting that as pert of the peckege but you're reviewing it to ase if it.., 76 OCT 9 1975 Ur.

Acton, would you Mrs. Gordon: `Sr. Acton, of coacere sit_ thii the and which t know we'll coma back to it very shortly will bt the Little River study and how that fit_, in with the overall plan as propoeed. Mr. Acton: I think that Dr. Wallece pretty well surrnarii.ed what we're doing in the planning process for all the city a i well de th, neighborhoods. Whet he tried to say is that there aro certain elements that are required by state law that were not included in our planning process when we deVploped A plan for Little River or the northeast section or for Coconut Grove. Those elements will ba added, So we'll be coming back to the commission making reeottimendcttiona for instance on Little River as an curly action type of rt;eommere'titicltt realieititj tli.it i.^,ont of the planning work has already bean done in house with the help of the consultants we will be making certain recommendation;; mainly in reference to the requirements of the State of Florida Act. Mrs. Gordon: Therefore, you would keep it until you have rude these additions and then bring it to us in a package. You wouldn't give it to us piece -meal at this point? Mr. Acton: Yes. Ctrs. Gordon: Mr. Wallace, we've been doing some talking here about a water transportation type of water taxi system or other type of system utilizing out enormous amount of water frontage:. In your study of a Comprehensive Plan for the land areas you're also considering the water areas, aren't. you? You did mention a river district which interested me a gredt deal. Are you going to come ul^ with some kind of rocowmend:ttion along there linos or not? Dr. Wallace: Yes, we will. That would be included as a part of the transportat- ion element. I might say this interjecting at this point of personal opinion, however, and that is that water transportation is in terms of actual transportat- ion really moving people it is not terribly effective. It may be important in terms of who is moved, that is if you want to get out to Virginia ley out to recreational areas, for example, water movement might be very important as opposed to having the problems of automobiles out there. taut even hovercraft or ferries and so on don't move an awful lot of people so you can't count on it to solve the transportation problem is what I'm saying. It is another form and an important form. Yes, ma'am. Mayor Ferret Mt. Acton, let me understand the process here. Once we get the report in our hands do we then call for - public hearings or do we go through a procees of studying this through the Planning Department first then the Planning Board and then the City of Miami Coanmis eion? Mr. Acton; The Planning Advisory Board will be holding a series of neighborhood meetings during the month of Novovber and then again i believe in the month of January where we'll actually be working with the various neighborhoods as indicated in the planning analysis diutrict maps. Now it is our intention to keep the City of Miami City Commission abreast of all of our activities as we proceed as we're doing today since the commission are the policy makers for the City and we're going to need the commission's input as we go along. In other words a response. As Dr. Wallace stated there will be a report forthcoming, an interim report that will cap- sulize all of the information that he transmitted to you today. This will be released in two weeks to both the City Commission and the Planning Advisory Board. It's a first step and hopefully we'll get back input from both the City Commission and the Planning Advisory Board during our entire planning process because we don't want to be in a position of isolating either the board or the commission in the process but we want input as they go along especially from the City GommLssion. Mrs, Gordon: Or. Wallace, with regard Co the Downtown Study that you c'otltpLcsted far us ne+arly a year and a half ago, to that up to data enough to butt you or do you think that Revile to be updett'd? Or. Welt ces There needs to be some u+idlt wsal cicnaaietts addend to make it in con - foe -ranee with the new 1975 act. OCT 9 1975 Mrs. Cordons Suer we•''re most <lrtxi. to dc' some implementation sn we can are you cuing to aii three c1enents 1 p.icA.3ge j e s to move ahead, we're hoping to be able get cen,tr cLion going downtown, how noon f,n thet we may have it before us also in Mr. Acton: It was the intention of the oily administration to hold a joint zeetif as has lie ett di;,cuesed in the past. Now in the t^crnth of be+comber between the; city Commi:;ion, the Planning Advisory Po er.1 in the downtown area... Mrs. Cordons A joint meeting Mr. Acton: A joint meeting in the' downtown . r, a probably ric;ht after work to get mainly input from both the downtown reeidentr; and property owner:; and bur ineese men. See, our recommendations are valid as: far a:: we're concerned .in terse of zoning recommendations. It ie pretty obvious the recor►rn ndation3 a3 we've gone along need to be revised. We're already aware of the fact that certain of the zoning district classifications need to be revised. Mrs. Gordon: That's why 1 asked you. br. Wallace: Perhaps I can make a statement, not clear up anything necessarily, but let me say this that first of all the commission can adopt the downtown plan in my opinion without the additional elements that I referred to that would make it in conformance with the 1975 act. It could be adopted as a public policy. The various implementation devices that Mr. Acton referred to can be adopted by the commission. There is no prohibition against that kind of action on the com- mission's part as a consequence of the new 1975 act so that when 1 said there were additional elements required all I meant was really that if you do adopt the down- town plan and then we simply fold it into the overall comprehensive plan inorder for it as a part of the overall Comprehensive Plan to be qualified under the new 1975 act such an element as the coa,,:tal nana:icrne nt element Would have to include the area of the bayshore park, for example, which it does not now. There is no coastal zone protection element in the downtown plan. It doesn't mean the downtown plan couldn't be approved and in fact, 1 strongly recommend that you do approve it. Mrs. Gordon: What do you mean by the coastal... We've just movect forward in some dramatic ways along the coastline there with our park so what are you refer- ring to specifically? Dr. Wallace: I'm referring to something called a coastal zone elemcent. which - coastal zone protection - which includes for example, by and large this is an element whose input will be from the South Florida Regional Planning Council which is charged with the coastal zone management. Now, the kind of thing that would be included and is included in this kind of a plan is where an area is within the 100 year florid or perhaps 50 year flood, whichever they designate as the crucial flood, wherever that area is included you need certain building and zoning requirements in your building and zoning ordinance to insure that buildings put in that area are flood protected. It doesn't mean you can't build in that zone. What it means is that you have to have adequate waterproofing, adequate foundations, adequate structural design. So what you have to do is take that coastal zone protection element and say that here is the hundred -year flood plain, for example - here is the hurricane prone area and then when you translate that into a zoning ordinance then you have to have sone special conditions in the Building Code let's say. Hrs. Cordons I understand, you're just talking about the strip along the water- front or are you talking about the entire area as it goes: back from the water Maybe 4, 5, or 6 blocks? Are you including that depth or aro you just including the park lands? Dr. Wallace: No, I would include the area in this particular case within the hundred year flood liner. Exactly where that is I don't remember but it's... Mayor Ferrel Now you know something, don't you realise every year that goes by we live in a world where no ratter what you do whether you move forward or back- ward or sidow.sys or sit down you're going to be violating :some regulation or same body. I've never in my l i fo bard of a hundred -year flood line. I think I under- stand what: it iu. Now we have to worry about the hundred -year flood line which wan determined by the Coastal Regional Planning(what was thwt again?). Pr. WaLL,acsus it is determined, I g~uca s, by the corps of 1ngins#rs and then tramp. !stied into .t Coastal Management Plan. I' 11 toll you, Mr. Mayor, all of South Philadelphia i:s within 4 hundred -year flood zone. 73 OCT 1 Is day. • Mayor Torre!

They buildings that already exist, they in r'ffvrt arc- non -conforming utrie:3. Mr. Plummer* Excuse me, what is the One Hundred Year Hood Plan? Mr. Andrews: May I assist you? You'll rc call about 4 or 5 or maybe 6 years ago when the Corps of Engineers came forth with their plan to include the 50 or 100 ye*t tlood plan and they proposed a great ghat tan from Cor•onut Grove all the way through up to Miami Beach and across the bay to stop the flood waters that would come in with that kind of a hurricane that would flood the entire Miami River Basin. Am I corr(ct? Mr. Ferencike No, the county a year or t;o ago under this Federal Flood Control Act adopted thesis standards that the gentleman is talking about existing in Miami right now and every building permit we issue is related to a possible flood criteria which iu based on a one and one hundred year event. Mrs. Gordon: That's ok, Bob, we just want to know where it is. Mr. Ferencik: It's different in every section of Miami. We've got a huge snap of Miami... Dr. Wallace: Here it is on the wall, sir. Mr. Ferencik: For instance, t3ayfront Park is +11 because I looked it up the other Mayor Ferret I'd like to give warning now that I'm leaving in a hour. Mr. Fcrencik t C.aconut Grove, some parts .:ire: 412. You've got to build above that elevation right now, today. Mr. Andrews: The Police Station Building was +10. Mrs. Cordon: How about the west aide of Biscayne Boulevard? Mr. Plummer: At 30th Street. (laughter) Excuse toe. you know this is maybe all full of humor but is this to say that in 100 years in a cycle like they say hurri- canes are cycling every 15 years? Well obviously it has already been decided. I'd like to know what it is. Mr. Ferencik: Once in 10U years this sort of an event may occur. Mr. Andrews: I have one question, Mr. Mayor, I'd like clarified. In your present- ation you indicated 16,000 public housing units... Dr. Wallace: $o, 60% of the region's public housing units are in the City of Mani. Sixty thousand and then 12,000 families are on the waiting list for those units. Mayor Perres t4ay I make one last comment about this? And believe PO I think this is groc:t and I commend you and your associates and I'm vary happy that we selected you. I think you're going to do a real fine job and I'm happy that you were the one s.elocted. I think that was a wise decision of the comniusion and the :sdmtnitt;- trat.ion. Now, with that as a preamble let me tell you what my cancer% always with all these things - :end this is a concern, I live as a busineasmatn and 4 property owner...you know, there is always: what you waist to do and than there is what you can dot *math, the ultimate plan, Utopia and the reality.

He said, "Well, what do you teen?" You say it ig going to cost $350,000,000 and you don't know how costs go in Miami, that'n probably low. Suppose you're right, it's $350,000,000. Where ie Miami going to get $350,000,000 to bridge - and he was a poet, the man was really a great man •- he used a phrase We were going to marry the park arlci the bay. leautifull You know he was going to bring the park and the hay into downtown Miami - he was going to marry the park and the bay. I said that's beautiful. It's going to cost $350,000,000. Where are we going to get it? You know what he answt'red? He said, "Mr. Forte, you don't understand. You paid us to give you d plan that you should follow and we have brought the hest minds in the world like we did in Detroit and Dekar(and 1 don't know what other cities he'd planned). We've planned and we've discussed and we've talked to every person in this community. We've had at great_ rapport and intake. Now don't come asking ne where >u're going to get the $350,000,000. That's your problem, not my problem." I said, "Well, that's very nice but if we don't get the $350,000,000 then your plea doe:en't get done. Right" He said, "Yes, 1 know but that's the lack of leadership and the rick of foresight and the small provisional mentality of Miami." 1 staid, "Well, you may be absolutely right, Dr. Doxiadi:., but unless we bridge that 10 or 15 years from now your's will have been a very nice tii:.torical report sitting on a shelf." That's exactly what happened to it. And there were a lot of good things about it. I don't agree with all of it. My point is my concern with all these things is; George Acton was just sitting next to me now and he said, "You know, this is fine but the real crux of it is going to be the money." And he's right. He'a right. These things are all great but somehow, and government does not have and will not have in years to cote the kind of money to do this job. Really it won't. 'thore' i. only one way we're going to be able to do this. We're going to have to induce the private sector to believe enough in the future of Miami to come in here and invest the kind of money to do some of the things so we can tax theses and then do these things where we can do it in conjunction with thew(. And the single lacking ingred— ient here is that relationship between the private and the public sector. Dr. Wallace: Could I make two comments, if I might, on your response, Mr. Mayor. First of alt, this is not a plan that will go on a shelf. You have to adopt a plan by July 1, 1979. If you don't the next higher level of government steps in and does the plan for you and li don't think that's a realistic thing to expect. Secondly, because of the very specific requirement foe 000noaic feasibility if I nay say blue aky imaginative type but undo -able kinds of plans that you referred to aru simply not the kind of plans that are going to comae out of this particular planning process. in my opinion Florida will be in the next go -round a state with the most conservative pieeanss in the United States because they are plans that osuat be economically feasible. Wow this is good and bawl. It is good in a sense that you're literally being made reaponsibles not for just the plans but for the var- ious implementing devices that must t he in accordance with the plans. You cannot approve change in rraning. You c:usuut approve building permits unless they're in accordance with the Coiprsth.testve Flan. Su it really puts a tcemendous burden: on you end ?'1r. Acton referred to the process of approval. We will coos pletu what in effect will be the draft plan by October. 1974 and at that point that draft plan will become the subject of appropriate public hearings art veiled out in the 1475 Act and ulttaataty you will have, 1 think it in about 211 yearn - you wilt have 2'a years in which to :modify and aslo it a plan and in that 3y year 1>ertod whatever changes ere spiny to be required dtsw going to have to be done. I don't env you of your rr spwsssibllity. OCT RTM AND SOUTH !AY CREST CANALS SILTATION STUDY Mr. V.it .'

In essence what this booklet says is we have not silted up their canals. The silt that Is in the canarlcs is basically the effoot of debris and that which drifts in and decays and ;'ttic's to thy' bettor.. r. oncdl.y, t}l , r;ilting that ts in the canals isn't r''ally bad at all to begin with. Now, that's a two sentence summation of this whole report. I"ve talked with these people, I've sent them a copy of thin report and maybe.the prepnnlerance or evidence has curbed them for a while at least. Mr. Pleimmert What about their photographs which showed out of the sewers the white? F•1r. Crimm: Well, whenever you work with limerock and you churn it in a wet con- dition why it has a tendency to color the water and there were occasions when sore of that got into the canal and that has the Affect of dying the water and on any given instant you could tai.c: .i p.icturc: like that.. nut the volume of material that is deposited could probably all be measured with one pail. ttr. Plumber: All right, is there any other questions? You say you have notified the people involved? Mr. Grimm: Yea, sir. Mr. Plummer: Ok, very fine Mayor Perm: ... On that rc'p }t t. that you made on silting and all that, on silting that comes out of the canals. I ran into a couple fellows and so did Plummer the other day at Legion Hall. One of them was Mr. Pappas. He congratulated me very sarcastically for the high school thesi.a done by two of our outstanding engineers. I said, "Now look, that's not fair." He said, "Oh yes it is because..." And here is the thing that bothers no about it because I read the report and it looked very wall done and as a matter of fact I told Paul, 1 said congratulations on a job well-done. Now. you know you can't get away from common sense and sometimes I don't have too much of that and this guy hit me with some common sense. He said look, he said the canals were there before. Mr. Grimm: Twenty years. Mayor Ferret The bay has been there before. Now how cone this didn't happen five years ago and how come it is happening how? Mr. Crimes But it isn't. Let tee show you a picture. Mayor Verret Yves, but he says that it is happening and you can't get away from the fact that these pictures of all thin junk up in these canals. Now, what hagpetang... I said Ok, now tell :re why it is happening. tie says it is very sin:,pie - you're doing a greet job, you're sewerinq and storm seweering the whole city and there is no way you're goiug to convince no or anybody olsm that that does not have an effect on ell these canals silting up. Mr. Grimm: One of the thiaga that this nap illustrates is the number of catch rasa!3 which deep into these two eandlu.

COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS FOR RET I RFD CITY EMPLOYEES -DISCUSSION Mr. Plumtnett Let's go back to retired uoployet's, Item "t. 1liel•E!t'e"t mhii wag �ti<.4Ao�i inter two t)Artrl. one 'Ire. Cordon t1.lrttculav`1V requested a legal opinion as to whether any formula could be devieed which would provide benefits to a certain portion of the retiree; or in some manner try to achieve a way that the lower income retirees could receive a benefit that would enhance their position. The second part of what was requested is to formulate a plan whereby this matter would not have to be brought up from year to year and a formula would be devised that would treat the employees reasonably or the pensioneers reasonably. Mr. Lloyd is prepared to give you some information with reference to the first item. I have piocece'.e1 to ccmt,;t•:t the employees to officially establish the tommittee. We are going to go ahead and come back to the City Commission with a formula but before we do that we have to hear from Mr. Lloyd and have an under- standing between the commission and particularly ere at this stage so that we can jo about formulating a program for the pensioner. . We must hear from Mr. L1.oy(l first. Mr. Lloyd: First, what you must be careful of, that you don't get into a situation that violates the constitutional prohibition against a governing body lending or giving tax motley to individual::: and to a prohibition against making payment: to public employee.% as increased payments fe.r poet. c;crv.ices. Now letme explain that carefully. Now, the general cases have held thar payment of pensions or retirement benefits are not unconstitutional gifts of public funds but rather they're compee- sation for services performed. So even as Mrs. Gordon suggested lump sum payments, there is nothing really on that, a prohibition otherwise. You wanted to know it lump sum payments could be given. They may under proper restrictions but you cannot give payments to certain retirees and not do it to others. That you cannot do. Now, because pensions are generally regarded as payments of salaries which have been withheld to be paid at a later date all persons must be treated equally and the pay- ment of money must be based strictly on the services rendered and must be calculated in relationship to the type, character and length of the services rendered. Now, if you followed that general formula you're alright but for instance, you cannot arbit- rarily say for all of the older eeployee:s who have been retired for 30 years or 20 years we're going to give them X number of dollars just because we like it that way and employees with less we're going to give them y number of dollars. You have to establish this formula along the lines I've laid out. Mrs. Cordons I don't think that was the intent, maybe I was misunderstood. I believe the intent was it you're going to give to the retirees X nusttber of dollars that X number of dollars go accross the board. Rev. Gibsons And Nr. Manager, since I wau the founding lather of the idea. the idea is it's just incredible that those old people have to come here every year with their hats In their hands and the pe oplu who bother most get most.

Wait a n3.uuta, I'm just using that as a suppo::t.tinn, The point is you have 4% to play with and if you went acroua the board with 1 or 2 % then you etop everybody from being bumitieted and 1 just think that I'm not vonaarnwd with the sum of ettc.stey - Val cnec,er,serd with the principle a tablished se that everybody who coma berate this cxrntssien from hero csa to es loeig as it is coon nically toasibla io treated alike. 82 OCT 9 1975 Mr. A drewat We uncln.kcod that Very c:le.tr1v and undektand what it is tim comti,aaion i:; tryine tc) accomplish.

Mr. Lloyds No problem with that at all, rather. What you're tasking about is a continuing thing rather than having them cone back every year. Rev. Gibson: Right. Mr. Lloyd: That can be arranged quite simply. Rev. Gibson: (INAUDIBLE) Has they committee been chosen? Mr. Andrews: No, I have not.... Mayor Ferrel Well, the police chose their man because they sent me a copy... Mr. Andrews: Well, I have not seen it. Rev. Gibson: All I'm saying is I don't want us to get bottle necked in this thing. Mr. Mayor, I thought we made a notion that at this meeting' that we were going to have those things then I knew that the committee, if anybody, you know if no action was taking place that: then the committee is to be blamed and not us. Mayor Ferro: Now Mr. Andrews, we don't Lave a committee evert though the Police Department nade it a point to let re know that they had chosen someone. When will you have the rest of these people named? Mr. Andrews: Well, I'm sure that we'll have them named before the next commis- sion meeting. I hope we will have already net prior to that. Mayor Ferrets Would you plan an agenda item, put it on the agenda, would you please so that we can verify it again. ... Mrs. Cordon: The Plan board is meeting tomorrow, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferro: We're talking about the regular Commission Meeting. Let's not all talk at the sane time. Now what we're talking about at this point now is the selection of the committee. Father Gibson asked why is it not selected. The Manager says that not all the names have been submittod. I said then put it an the next agenda so that we'll be sure that they're done. Then I Was; asked what meeting. I said the next regular meeting. Now is that acceptable to evc+rybody7 All right now, to the next subject. Mrs. Cordons One of the members are to be selected from the Plan Board so tomorrow at our meeting we can do it. Now the System board will do it at their meeting, I assume. Nr.

Mr. Andrews: I'm going to ask Mr. Hays to explain that very briefly but this is an opportunity for the city to participate in a program whenever anybody makes any kind of utility repair, cut that is communicated with various agencies such as the telephone coTTipeny, the gasp company and so forth and they're all parti- cipating in thin program. It will be done by teletype and it will enable all of these agencies to properly control their utilities in the public right of way and eliminate any inadvertence that could occur... The telephone company has figured out that if they can avoid two unnecessary cuts that damage their cable this ser- vice is paid for. This is the city'n participation as far as sewers are concerned... Mayor Ferree You recommend this, Paul? Mr. Andrews: Yes. Mr. Plummer: Wait a minute, excuse me•. Mr. Manager, I very clearly and distinctly heard the telephone company say the cost was Mo. Mr. Cliff Nayss The first year for the City of Miami would be About $2500. It's based on cue number of wiles of utt1Ities you have in the ground. Mr. Plummer; Well, you know there is an awful big difference between i800 and $2500. Mr. *wore I'll iwve thf.:. be deter red and Let the phone company come here and explain why they told me 000. ThUrOMPOR a Motion to defer was+ introduced 1•y Mr. Plummer, seconded by Gibson and pass«d and adoptc4 unAnimously. 0E; OCT 1 19JS 55, DISCUSSION OF BLOOD BANKS Mt.

Mr. Atlas ws: tv'o're prepared to report t ;1 you now. We h;ivall thw information. Mr. l'lu me t I think while the Mayor is 1:crc it is important. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Ferencik, will you tcport cm this; natter, please. Mr. kob^rt F'crencik: Wall, we're_ talking about the building at 169 N.W. 'nth street. Mayor Porte: Right in front of the Junior College right next to the Methodist Church. Mr. Plummer: That ain't the one we're t•tlking about. Mr. Ferencikt We're talking about the one the fire was in thy other night. Mayor Ferret No, sir. Mt. Plummer: No, we're talking about the one on N.C. 4th Street. Mayor ferret Fright next to the Methodist Church. Mr. Plummer: You're talking about 169 N.W. Sth Street is the one that burned down. No, sir. I'm talking about N.E. 4th Street between firstand second avenues. Mayor Ferrer Right in front of the Junior`- College. Mr. Ferenrik: We have no record of any work going on there... Mayor 1crre: Weil, let me tell you it's going on. Mr. Andrews: Well, let him report on thin other one because you'll be pleased to hear what we found out we will follow up on the other one... Mayor Ferret Make it quick because we only have about a half an hour left. Mr. Ferene.k: The other building is a building that has a three story section and a one section. The one story section was badly damaged by the fire. They are at the process of selling the building to a food service outfit that's right in the isw'ediate area. They've already negotiated the deal. They're going to close the center up and shove it out. All there is there now is a few people that are secur- ing the area during this transition period. Mr. Plummer: Well, that's well and good and I'm glad to hear it Rob, but I'm more concerned of what happened with the recommendation of the committee that the Mayor appointed whose recommendation was that all future blood banks in the zoning Ordin- ance must be under a conditional use? Now where does that stand? That's been four months ago. Mr. Forenciks That question i can't speak to. Mr. laummers Obviously nobody is speaking to it because we've still got problems. Mr. Mayor, four months as chairmen of the committee that you appointed the recommendat- ion aim that the blood banks all be put into a Conditional Use regardless of where they existed unless it was I think C-4 or better - they would be permitted in a C-4 or better. Now what happened to that ordinance? Why hasn't anything been don* on it?

Now Mr. Andrew3, that hrings up two queetionss which I'd like to dirscuas today. First of .all I'm sure it doesn't need any big declaration on the city'a Debit to ray that this ie .* i,<.•i..r,ue act which wo ;all c•utlder,n as, under any conce'lft of civilization, is damnable arrd cowardly and a diet idly act and 1. think it seta back the cause of humanity in c:ivili.sation. There is ne cause to cjo out and bomb and maim and humiliate acid create probleme for property and life. Now, several months ago, I guess it's been a year almost now, I went to Washington and through Senator Scoop Jackson's Office had discussions with the F14t directly with Mr. Kelly of the FM and with his top administrative assistant who I forget. And then I went over to the Justice Department and I had an hour conversation, and I saw Keith Berg- strom, (Is he still around?). I'm sorry that he left. Keith Bergstrom, you sent Keith Bergstrom up to Washington and I went and we ,aw Mr. Keeney who at that tittle was acting head of the Criminal bureau of the Justice' Department which is over the FJI. In other worcla the FBI reports to the Secretary of .gust i cc through that system. We had about a 45 minute conversation with Mt. Ketan.y. Subsequent to that mt't'ting, as you may recall, at Mr. Keeney's insistence through the good offices of the new FBI skin here (and his name is Mr. Julius '.attson) there was a meeting called which I attended - you wore there, Julius i:-tt.tean was there, 4 or !, FBI agents, Vin Santcll, Bob Rusk h;:;d a reprt'3entatiVt ; everybody whether it. was '1'rcaaury, Justice, Drug 1lnforceracnt. everybody wee there: !Merril Purdy, our own police chief, you and I and we went into this thing. Now because I was concerned that this might be mis- interpreted as :something political on my part. I cxcu_yed myself, I started tha meet- ing, I said I'm the guy to blame, I called this meeting, I went to Washington, I started this; whole ruckus. Now the problt n is that we have had 90 bombings in this city; we've had several political r urdera, norime of them have been solved, nobody }ra ; been arrested and nobody his been apprehended. Now, it seems to me in a day and aye, and I recognize that it took a year and a half to yet. Patricia Hearst, that it's not ea. y and that we live in very complicated tines but nevertheless after almost 90 bombings and acts of terrorism two open murders where people - one man who was shot full of holes with 45's in the middle of a packing lot at no less than Variety Child- ren't hospital in broad daylight and got away in some small volkswagen would you believe, and yet no clues, no arrests. no nothing. And I think we've got, you know it is time for us to scream to high heaven again. This community demanda of the federal agencies that if they have to put 100 men down here to start solving these problems that they attack a problem of terrorism in the streets in open broad day- light in Miami.. It is long overdue and we've got to do something about it and we've slot to atop pussyfooting around with it, So I don't know what else to do, there is no u.:e passing anymore resolutions. I think that you and I and all of us here have got to take the specials would you call Mr. Mattson, 1 would like and I'sa not going to get out of this one this time. I'd like to call a meeting of all these people again. If I've got to go up and see Mr. Keeney or his - because he's no longer there - but if we've got to go see Mr. Levy or Mr. Keeney or Mr. Kelly or whoever it is we've got to see we've got to start putting some pressure here. And I'm writ- ing liters to out two U.S. Senators and to our congressmen that this is absurd now. Now I'm not saying that we're going to have a policeman or an VHI agent at every cor ner watching for the next botttabing tut I am baying that we ought to sew same visible physical results so that those poopLa that are involved in these t+ombings are aware that they're going to get caught and they're going to get punched. Now with regard* to this telegram from Ambassador. 1•lurowitt•, would you :zee that wtf honor thin request. Would you then send a tetgram in ray name to Ambassador Huge - wits tc'11.ite'i him that this has beer* done. And the last point that I wanted to request of you to I think it is unfair for the City of Miami to haves to bear the burden of i•rc.blt•tass like this wban these .are intcrreitton st problems. I think we ought to send a bill.., Now wlivn the repubtivali party and the 4,71aocratic party rtet in Miami pe4Ch they pLc.?kcid u' the tab and the federal government vial in ICt.w York City this year for extra police prutectiun.

Staff from thin office and the County Attorney': office are working together to develop the(now watch) to develop the county arguments on the issues presented in your various communications. We believe that a complete reply will be available t.o the city about October 15th, 1975. Now ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you Metropolitan Dade County passed a million three hundred thousand dollar increase, $500,000 of which went to the fire Depart- ment and to the other departments of which the citizens of Miami do not benefit by one red cent. You remember they had that terrible fire and Channel 4 made that series and after that they all peniced And they had 0 :series of hearings. They increased salaries, there were demands for a million three, there were concessions made of increased man power and equipment. Because if you put what the City of Miami spends per capita for fire - we spend four times(whatever it is) five times more per person, per citizen than Metropolitan Dade County does. In other words what I'm ray- ing is that if Metro were to spend the same kind of r.coney that we upend for fire protection they'd have to increase that budget 4 or 5 times. That's the difference between the City of Miami and metro! That's why the people vote against consolidat- ion because we have the best Wire Department. That's why we have the best Fire Department - we go out and spend the money. Now, they went out and increased their Fire Department. Good! Now, do the citizens of Miami benefit by it? No. Then why do we have to pay for it? Now what we did specit ically, I'm simplifying it so we can 401 follow it including me, what we did was we went to Metro, and we said, ''Now look fellow, if you're going to do that you go ahead and do it but don't you charge the citizens of Miami. You go out and charge the people that are receiving those fire services. You leave u;a alone, we've got our own fire protection." They ignored us. Ray Goode, and I want to get this on the record, that Ray Goode recommended that the City Manager's recommendation be followed. In other words, that the people living in the outlying areas pay for their own fires service. The County Commission callously. and I use that word advisedly but accurately, callously rode over his opinion and unanimously voted for this increase and put the burden on us. So that mans out of that increase we're paying 24% of it and yet we're not benefiting by it. Now I want to tell you it is morally wrong, it is legally wrong. I went to Niami Beach Councils I've talked to tlayor Robert Knight of Coral Gables' they are willing to join us in a lawsuit - Miami iseach, Coral Gables. I have not talked to Hialeah but I think it is time for us to get on with this show and put it right up in front of the electorate that it is time now to atop all thin double tnumbo juatbo that we keep getting in cer- tain editorials about duplication of service* and get down to talking About duplicat- ion of taxes and here is the perfect case where it's been perpetrated upon people of Miami. And as far as this member of this commission I'as not standing still for it and I'm just saying it right now because by October 15th Dade County is preparing their arguments and I want to tell you that their arguments, because we already know what their actions have been oven though the newspapers don't report it or the tele- vision or radio stations - it hasn't been reported - but we know what their actions wore. It took we throe days to find nut and finally I ran into Ray Goode and I found it out that way. I think you were at that meeting. Pay said, "Well, I'm uvrry. It was. against my advic:te but that's what they chid." You were theca, Paul. We're not taking thin ono nittitaq down. Mr. Aradrewss the o's another paragraph in there too. Mr. Mayor. You'd Vetter read the lava paragraph as there et end ia to the constitutionality of the provision, I think that is kind of hairy too. 89 •1111 wry orr • al,14 M:tyor F or et Toe p'!t.'he'.r e'Cd't i:luo:i ,:tA follows: "We beiioyp that a Ctttrpl s''•.* reply will 1..e available to th_, city .tbc) •' o .tenor 15, 197S.

Mr. Lloyd: Tht' reason why that is under which we h.; vo bees pn c) eel i. rt=i of this; tj.)ubto taxat.ion statute wh its that they statutes requires a do incl double taxation within 70 days informed thee( along with this City with the terMs of that statute and they have not at this time. as yoe hove said, Mayor, is that: the statute and w.' hive gone stop by step t:c follow the terms leh is i:'},)1r.m':ttt itv; the constitutional provision finite reply too demand from it municipality regard . We Bent them a tort of our letter which we sent Commission resolution that they had not complied in my legal opinion they ham not at that time .. Mayor Ferret Well, you'd better gent your up. law books out and ,tart sharpening them Mr. Lloyd: We will be ready at the next Commission Meeting if there the commission. are dictates to Mayor Ferret All right, sir, well I plate to bring this up as soon as we get that October 15th letter. I'M just telling you right now that we're in for a real sonny.. brook and it's 16 years overdue. Rev. Gibson: I'm not so sure I understand. you said get your law books out. What's that... Mr. Plummer: That means we're going to suns the county. Mayor Verret What that means is that if the county continues in the direction that they're going we're going to go to court. Rev. Gibson: Alright, Mr. Mayor, let me ask another question. The municipalities with which you have spoken, are they of the sane mind? !Mayor Ferret I went before the Miami Reach City Council and by the way, it was covered by the Miami Sun and the Miami flerlad and I made this very same statement... and I told them where we w're howled and what we hid done and they unanimously con- cur that they would join us. Now as far as Coral Gables is concerned I only talked to Mayor Robert Knight and he said that it was long overdue and that...and I said well, we wouldn't do it before because we didn't have the legal instrument but we've. got the legal now. I certainly don't, I don't want to go out and have a legal battle with Metro but on the other hand r don't want them to tax the citizens of Miami for services that the people of t:iwni are not receiving and it is just that simple. And I told Ray Goode the last thtng in the world that I want is a lawsuit with Metropolitan Dade County, But I'll tell you if they're just going to tax the people of thin community callously without taking into consideration that they're not receiving the services that they're being taxed for then I think we would be negligent - we, the commissioners here sitting here - would be negligent if we didn't stand up and say aomethinq about it. Rev. Gibson: ter. Mayor. may I ask another question? Would it be possible or would it be inorder or good taste for us to formally get a reply, you know? Mayor Ferro: W3'Ce going to get a reply, you mean from the county? Rev. Gibson: 13o, the county is going to give ua A reply by the 1Sth but you know let Coral Gables say it and when and lot the City of Miami say in wrotingi you know one thing i Learned - black and white don't tie. Mayor Terre: Yes, but let's don't cross that bridge yet. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor. I hoar what you're saying but you know it se4M3 a8 if you ain't going no where u1t a other than. Mayor I orret Rev. Cib::uru Sayer rerrit s I read you. You know what i mw sn? 90 OCT ReV, Gibson t fUel i think it we're going to take a position we ought to ... Yott see, I don't want theca to lead us clown a t ..usnybook and thee turf, bark. If they say, Poll see the danger, We could becrr[f: very v1S i tilde. Mayor l'::rro: I'.afhor, suppose now this, h-:r ime.: a big thing and the pepera or the tell:vi:;iun l.C,at ion write a big :story or what have you and the next thing you know is M•lyhN some of tho3e follows wield rh snge their minis ciciwn there is Metro like they de 'etc- in a whit.: in some of these thitng 3. They tight rsee the light. They might say, "You .now we r,houldn't c1, thatto the people of Miami." And then at the next meeting they Might loVonw that, Rev. Gibson: All tight, let efts tell you thi:;. phi:: .ic; interesting. if Coral Cables will say, "Vest man, we're going to join you." And if Miami Beach was saying, "Yes, r;►ah, we're going to join you" we'll have three t cam:= of lawyers ready to go to court and one thing is sure the boys; down at Metro Might quickly change their minds while it may be reluctantly I don't care whir just so they change it. Mayor Ferret rather, I'n saying on the record right here for the record that I met with the commission and they were all present, all of the comrniesiont'rs were there and the Mayor a the commissioners, and they all agreed to join the City of Miami and instructed the Manager to meet with our Manager and their attorney to Meet with our Attorney. Rev. Gibson' All right, Mr. Mayor, I'm going to defer to you and to your wisdom but 1 want to make it crystal clear - 1 ain't turning back unless I get... Mr. Mincers Let Me tell you something you're overlooking. You know, ::something you're overlooking - all of you or maybe not all of you. But you know Metro has already set their appropriations. Pee. Gibsons That's their problem! That' the.i r problttn! Mr. Andrews May I add this? I anticipate when you adopted your resolution and you asked me to go down the Mayon for some reason was not able to go down to the commission. I can't remember what it was but yoe wore unable to attend. And I went down to the County Commission Meeting and anticipating that it they did not act specifically on your request to exclude this from the tax requirement of the people of Miami I indicated to the commission very crystal clear that if it was legally necessary for them to go ahead and adopt this in such a way that the taxes were collected then we expected them to reimburse the City of. Miami with the money that they collect for use within the City of Miami so that thatmoney would flow through this commission for reuse for the people of the City of Miami. Mayor Ferret One way or the other let's make sure. ... It isn't that we're asking for money from Metro ... I could just see an editorial on that one. We're not ask- ing for Metro money for the City of Miami. Ok? All we're doing is we're saying one way or the other and you give the money back to the citizens of Miami. Mr. Andrews: The constitutional provision and the statutes that follow provide specifically for that kind of renumeration. ltov. Gibson' Mr. Mayor, I'll defer to your wisdom. 58, DISCUSSION OF GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR THE HANDICAPPED rra. Gordon: I want to ask you a queetiun, Mr. Andrews. Are we getting any funds for the handicapped through our recreational training grants? I attended a luncheon yesterday which bore up the need of funding and I understand and found out that there in funding available to us if we apply for it and that the tine cent on this kind of an application is in the very near future. As you know, I an extremely interested in these kinds of programs progressinq.and particularly where we don't have to use Ad Valorem. Mr. Andrews: Right, and we've already made applications... Mrp. Gordon: Thank you for the answer. And can you tell sue the tit of the applicat- ion? Mc. And row. s ions'... I'd have to go brick and find oot t is. I have on saaay applicat- Mra.

However, it can be expended In its: scope. If we get the funci_s we can utilize it to the benefit of our entire Parks and Recreational System and 1 implore you to not last it go by the wayside. 59. FLORIDA LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY FOR 1976 Mr. Lloydt air. Mayor, this it; the second time i have presented this c:onmiesiun a r^.-o *o the Ci to romniq'inn rnet,rd i rtct t }tN t• lnricl.a t,ertielat-tve Ar.t'ivi tv... Mayor Perre: Yes, I saw that. Mr. Lloyds ..for the 1976 session. Now the reason I have done this and presented it twice to you is that during our last legislative session yourself and other members of the commission decided that we should take initial steps far earlier in the g.vne than we have taken so far. So this is a definite proposal which 1 have worked up and you've had it for quite some time. There is no point In ray repeating it. You've all had it for two or three weeks, this is merely for your convenience another copy of it. I would suggest: that thesesuggestions for developing a more legislativeliaison program be adopted. The only thing for you which you really need to do now is to go ahead and give the Manager and myself your mandate for us to proceed in this fashion (1), and (2) to indicate to us whether you were satis- fied with the services of Last year's legislative representative or you want another one. It is necessary for us to get one immediately if not sooner, if I may be so bold because we must start immediately. In other words we must start now= we should have started before. I don't think there is any necessity for me to go into thin the Manager has already gone into it. Mayor Verret All right, I've got to teuve in mi;lut.t•s 1.o I'm giving you one more notice. Mr. Lloyds That's all I have to say on that, Mayor. Mayor Ferret Take up the next item because we've got 0 minutes now. Mr. Lloyd: Well, you haven't done anything on this. Mayor Ferret Sir? Mr. Lloyds Are you going to take any action on this memo or not? Mayor Ferro: You're talking about the legislative... Mr. Lloyd: Suggestions for developing a more effective legislative liaison ps:ogran. Mayor Ferro: I think you ought to give us the tine to road this thing and... Mr. Lloyd: Mr. Mayor, you've had this thing for throe weeks. Mayor Ferro: Oh, is this the ono we've had for throe weeks? Mr. Lloyd: Yes, air. Mayor, it is up to you but I teaan you've instruct see what i Can do to proceed Mayor Perri.: What its the will of this commission? Would somebody can gut going? Mr. Lloyds Well, 1 think what you should do you want the UMW Legislative tapeasent.ative Mayor Ferris, We're not going to decide that tut to &widee stow? tae to it so we is you should dactc'a wthehrther or not you had and... today, John.

Mr. Andrews: tlr. ?•mayor, until the ccfm`1i.:i:;ic>:a i. +kr.:; sa decision on the legislative rep es-nt,at.ive even when you to .i t i:: Mr. Lloyd's feeling and try feeling that we hav•. to hay. a city Attorney sepses:;-tlt.a' ive <anl :in aclmi.ni.a;ttatiVP representative* to work with the liaison than to really become effective so you can take that under cons id _'r I t- i o:. then as gels make is d-risinn on t.hAt_. tlra. Gordon: Your recommend ition, tar. Andrews? Ilr. Fend'_*:reist My recommendation is that we need a representative liaison An Tallahassee as we slid last year but we want to expand upon that to really make it a dynamic present.. alien in which the commis:iion is also involved. Mr. Lloyd: That's right. Mt. Andrews: Aa an ex. -ample, if way pick out 15 subjects that we want to get special. legislation on and they wore divided 5 a.aunq ca..h of the commissioners I want to acsign someone from the administrative staff, Mr. Lloyd wants to assign eomeone from the legal staff plus the 1egielative liaison to form a team t.o assist the com- mission with each one of these and you would each go to Tallahassee and we would supply you with all of the information to make the presentations and really make this an effective program. You pick out 15, let's say 15 priority areas as an example, maybe 3.S or 20 but 15 is a convenient numbL,r in which you would divide these up, 5 among each of you. And we would then have then truly a dynamic approach up there and we'd be able to get some things done. Mrs. Gordon: Are you recommending that we use the :name person we had before? Mr. Andrews: That's up to the City Commission. I'm not making that recommendation. Mayor Verret That's a long subject, we shouldn't cross it today and all I'm saying is you rove along as best you can, :schedule this for further debate and discussion. Eventually we've got to select a reprcsetetativc and (tc't into the debate of legisl.,t• ive action. I've got 2 minutes now. 60, flNNLOTS Do lLJOUKTIONAL USE IO ppoirsougRuglIpN Fp ANGE FOUND SUB J- ), 5Uc'J GE STREETT.i NURSERY tar.

Gorden: This morning in our dit cession we di:acuetsed the enrollment of the students and their where, they live. The answers were that, the dessLru that I made was: that t}:e :student:; be resid.nt:a at the City of Miami and that enrollment iuctuded those Whe were under the tederel funding progrsa for the woody. The comments nnada in reply to ey questions were in the affirmative and yet this resolution does not have: a single item in it ablating to that. I'm aeking Mr. Lloyd why it is not in- eluded in those conditions. Mr. Lloyds I was not aware that theft was; suppvs•+d to have been included. That is the newer.

OCT 9 675 Mrs, Gordon: 1 w: uldcli you that 1 did during that ry brief flinch period really circle tho rr i hbonc���cl, look very clescly pertaining to the area. Certain- ly there are in my opinion better areas for this kind of use. However, the enroll• Merit limitations, the hour, of oper.ltior, nc+ eadelt ettivities which was also r'Sent.. ioned this morning and also t don't see here in the resolution which should also be in here, I take exceptions to resolutions when they are drafted and not including all of the conditions that aro stated that are affected in determining people's position:,. I'm not blaming you, Mr. Lloyd, I'm just saytng that these things occur thyn Choy c•om,--! to us and they are, decisions .are prelic•ated upon certain ccaftversate ions that. are nide, ate ent , that are r>>de and then they nro nc,t included in reEsoe lutiorts. Not your fault. Mr. Lloyd: First, tilts. Cordon, (1) ... First., tho nu .adult thing it says that Le u:;ed for a Day Nursery and first tirade only. Mrs. Gordon' Yes, but that doesn't say there can't be any reetinga of adults:, you know, pertaining to activities. it could be on a weekly basis, there is nothing to prohibit that 1 can ree here. Mr. Lloyd: Our problem is that the only way we could possibly do this and get everything in, we slid the best we could here, would be to wait for the transcript- ion of the Clerk's office of all the minutes and then sift through those and take them all down. There were so'many things went by this morning... Mrs. Gordon: And many statements were made and answered one way or another. Mr. Lloyd: And we've done the best we can as best I can tell you on such short notice. Mrs. Gordon: 1 understand, no reflection on you or your department. whatsoever. It's simply that I made a vote this morning predicated upon certain items being said and tone items are not included in the resolution. So consequently I would prefer to move this to be tabled until the transcript is made available and that we take this up at the next meeting. Mayor Fcrre: The motion that this item be tabled, i;: there <a second to the motion' Mrrs. Gordon: The motion is to table, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferrel (INAUDIBLE) Mrs. Gordon: The resolution on Miry occasion in ::ot taken up at the ::acne day and you know it. Mayor. Ferret I beg your pardon, I guess she can make a motion to table.

Mrs. Gordon: To read the minutes of the tweeting. Mt, Plummer: That this document as prusentad by the City Attorney you do not feel is complete? Mrs. Gordon; It isn't conclusive. Nr.Plummert All right. And Mr. City Attorney, you readily acknowledge the fact that that is possible?
