The MRC adopted a resolution finding the `Miami River' mixed-use development plan, as was presented, to be consistent with the Miami River Greenway Action Plan and the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan, subject to the following three conditions: 1) Consistent with the current draft Development Agreement's Exhibit G, utilize the public -benefit funding within this high- density development's impacted area, the Miami River District 2) "Should "Latitude on the River" fail to fund and construct the small approved public riverwalk section connecting "Latitude on the River's" public riverwalk with the recently enhanced public riverwalk beneath the SE side of the 2 Ave Bridge, then utilize a portion of this available "Miami River" public benefit funding for this important and needed public riverwalk connector." ("Plan B") The MRC appreciates the City of Miami, Latitude on the River, and Neo Vertika's recent mutual efforts to bring "Plan A" to fruition, constructing the aforementioned needed public riverwalk connector without using Miami River SAP public benefit funding. 3) "Utilize the Phase 1 $5.5 million of Public Benefit funding into a Trust or Bond to be used to construct the public Riverwalk if the riverfront Phase II is not constructed." The intent of this condition is addressed in the following subsequent addition inserted into the draft development agreement, "prior to the issuance of the first temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Phase 1, the Developer shall record a Notice of Commencement and commence construction of a public riverwalk on Phase 2 of the Property." �ObmittUll- C3r�i- N NOV- SAP Vvifih Coad i+i pr�S Policy Committee: Governor of State of Florida Mr. Rick Scott Designee: Ms. Patricia Harris Chair of Miami -Dade Delegation Representative Eddy Gonzalez Designee: Rep.
