Subject: RTDIC Application #14-059
DT Miami, LLC
MDAD DN -14-06-1396
As requested by the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, the Miami -Dade Aviation
Department (MDAD) has reviewed Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (RTDIC)
Application Number 14-059. The applicant is requesting a special exception to permit a general site
development plan. The site is generally bounded by NW 15t Street, NW I" Avenue, NW 8r" Street and
the Metrorail Right -of -Way. The size of the property is approximately 8.31 acres.
Since the plans for this proposed development are conceptual at this time, please be advised that once
plans are finalized, both MDAD and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will need to study each
individual proposed permanent structure associated with this development reaching or exceeding 200
feet Above Ground Level (AGL). The airspace review process is governed by two different regulations:
The Miami -Dade County Code, Chapter 33, Article XXXVIi, Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field)
Zoning, and the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 14 Part 77. Each agency has its own
independent airspace evaluation requirements, and issues airspace determinations for both permanent
and temporary structures.
For planning purposes, the allowable heights for this area vary from approximately 650 feet Above
Mean Sea Level (AMSL) on the north side of the site to approximately 900 feet AMSL on the extreme
south-eastern portion of the site. The following data is required for an MDAD airspace and land -use
analysis and letter of determination:
• Project name, address, folio number(s), proposed use, duration of project and site plans
• The GPS coordinates in State Plane North American Datum (NAD'83) for the four corners of each
building must be provided.
• Site elevation stated in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). This information may be
obtained from a survey.
• Elevation Plans depicting the maximum elevation (the tallest element on the roof, such as the top of
any elevator shafts, architectural features, lightning rods, flag poles or other appurtenances).
• Requisite fees
Our webpage at http://www.miami-airport.com/planningjorms—Maps,asp contains the request forms
for a MDAD-issued airspace/land-use letter of determination as well as airport zoning resources,
including the Height Zoning Map for MIA.
As for the FAA's analysis, please be advised that in accordance with Code of Federal Regulation (CFR)
Title 14 Part 77, any permanent structure meeting the requirements of Part 77.9 "Construction or
A-1
Jack Osterholt
June 11, 2014
Page 2
Alteration Requiring Notice" requires the filing with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) using
Form 7460-1 'Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration'. The form is available on-line and can be
"e -filed" through the FAA website: https://oeaaa.faa.gov. Alternatively, the form can also be mailed to:
Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest Regional Office Obstruction Evaluation Group, 2601
Meacham Bfvd, Ft, Worth, TX 76137-0520.
Please keep in mind that construction cranes reaching or exceeding 200' Above Ground Level (AGL)
must also be studied by MDAD and the FAA. MDAD issues "Permissible Crane Height
Determinations". The interactive Permissible Crane Height Determination request form is available on
our website, http://www.miami-airport.com/pIanning_forms_maps.asp.
Please note, any proposed construction cranes at this location reaching or exceeding 200 feet AGL are
required to be filed with the FAA using Form 7460-1 '!Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration'. It
may take the FAA up to 90 days to issue a determination.
Upon completion of this project, no Certificate of Use or Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by a
municipal building official or Miami -Dade County until approval is obtained from MDAD after certifying
that the structure was built no higher than the height approved, The approval shall be issued by this
office after submittal by applicant of the required information as outfned in Article XXXVII, Section 33-
349(A)(2) of the Code.
MDAD does not object to the conceptual development provided that both the FAA and MDAD study
and issue airspace determinations for both the permanent and temporary structures associated with
this development once plans are finalized. The development must comply with all applicable federal,
state and local aviation regulations including the Code of Miami -Dade County, Chapter 33, as it
pertains to airport zoning.

Re: Rapid Transit DIC (RTDIC): Lower Council Meeting 2`" July, 20141 Process No, 14-053
Dear Mr, Vital:
DANIFL J. ALFONSO
City Manager
Below please find the City of Waml's comments, at this time, regarding the subject development proposal:
9. The north end of the project as the tracks elevate and go over 816 Street will be of paramount importance.
Whether or not this may fall outside the present scope, the city will require design documents showing
relationship of tracks, roads, pedestrian crossings, column spacing and relationship to buildings adjacent to the
project,
2. Connectivity of project to areas to the west is as important as it's connectivity to the east. There are alleys and
back buildings predominantly as presently shown, Design documents conveying the configuration and
appearance from adjacent area of these functional aspects of the project shall be submitted for further review
chat depict appropriate sensitivity masking functional components of the project and providing a pleasing Frontage
as seen from the west while addressing connectivity all -the -while.
3. Connectivity between project and the proposed exposition center Is critical, This concern has been highlighted
throughout and specific proposals as to how to achieve appropriate linkage and Integration with the exposition
center are required.
4, Cladding materials and form for the track channels need additional attention. This will become one of the
gateways to the city and as such their appearance is critical. The City of Miami is concerned about the design's
predisposition to gather soot especially from diesel engines. Maintenance difficulty is a concern as presented;
consequently design documents addressing these concerns are required.
5. The documents presented appear to downplay connection to the government center station as greater emphasis
is placed on the Overtown station. Design documents addressing specifically the means of connection to the
government center station are required,
a. Design documents addressing the connection to Metrorall in phase l are required,
7, Design documents addressing the connection to Metro Mover are required;
8. There is a need for "specificity" or at least stated "intent" in this proposal, The project is "connected" to the
context by virtue of its locatlon. It is also important that the character of the pedestrian experience be more
clearly defined, Design documents specifying the configuration and definition of open spaces at ground level as
well as the means through which connectivity to surrounding development and other open space is achieved,
both physically and esthetically, are required.
We remain available to provide additional feedback as appropriate.

From: Paul "'a r alio, Assante Operations
Public Works and Waste Management Department
Subject: DT Miami, LLC. (DIC #14_059)
The Department's review of the above -referenced Item is provided below. Additional comments
will be provided as needed. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
Stacey MoDuffie, Manager of the Fiscal Management and Planning Division, at 306-514-6661.
The PWWM has no objections to the proposed application.
Application: DT Miami, LLC Is requesting a special exception for approval of a general site
development plan. The plan proposes an elevated platform for a rail station consisting of 70,500
square feet of rail operational area, 177,400 square feet of station retail, up to 1,111 residentla}
apartment units, a 327 room hotel and 1,155,000 square feet of office uses. The present zoning
classification Is Fixed -Guideway Rapid Transit System -Development Zone,
Size: The subject property Is 9 acres.
Location: The subject property is approximately located between 'NW I" Avenue and the
Metrorall ROW from NW 1sr Street to NW 8" Street, in Miami -Dade County, Florida,
Analysis:
1. Solid Waste Disposal
The Miami -Dade County Solid Waste Management System consists of both County facilities
and private facilities under contract as follows: three Class I landfills (two owned by Waste
Management Inc., of Florida) a Class III landfill, a Resources Recovery Facility waste to energy
plant and associated ash rnonofill, and three regional transfer facilities. The Public Works and
Waste Management Department (PWWM) does not assess or adjust estimated capacity
requirements based on the impacts of individual developments. Instead, the Department
maintains sufficient disposal capacity to accommodate five years of waste flows committed to
the system through long-term Interlocal agreements or contracts with municipalities and private
waste haulers and antipipated non -committed waste flows. The latest Concurrency Status
Determination issued on September 26, 2013, which is valid for one year, shows sufficient
disposal system capacity to exceed the County's adopted level of service (five years of
capacity). This determination, which is on file with the Regulatory and Economic 'Resources
Department (formerly the Department of Planning and Zoning) is contingent upon the continued
ability of the County to obtain and renew disposal facility operating permits from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, as needed.

County Code definition of commercial establishments, while the development of apartments will
meet the definition of multi -family residential establishments.
Per the Code the following is required of multi -family residential and commercial establishments
located In unincorporated Miaml-Dade County:
"Every commercial and multi -family residential establishment shall utilize the solid waste
collection services of either the proper governmentai agency able to provide such services, or
that of a licensed solid waste hauler authorized to perform such services 'by the Director of the
Department." The property is on residential waste collection route 3105 therefore, the landlord
or property owner may fulfill the requirement, either through the PWWM, which can provide
commercial waste cart service or through a private hauler to provide waste and recycling
collection service.
3. Recvclina: Multi-familv Residential Establishments
Regarding multi -family units, Section 16-2.2a of the Code requires "every multi -family

Subject; Royle "Developmental Impact Committee- Zoning Application
Case: No. Z20140000%— DT Miami, LLC.
APPLICATION
The applicant, DT Miami, LLC., is requesting a public hearing for a Special Exception to permit approval
of the general site development plan for a passenger rail system/statlon that links Mlaml, t=ort
Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando. The request also comprises a combination of commercial
and residential development to Include 70_,000 square feet of rail operational area,.a maximum of 1,191
residential multi -family units, a maximum of 977,400 square feet of retail business space, a 327 room
hotel, a maximum of 1,107,000 square feet of office space, and parking garages. The property is
located on approximately 8.31 acres west of NW 1 Avenue, between NW 1 Street and NW 8 street,
located in the city of Miami, within Miami -Dade County,
CURRENT POLICE SERVICES
The rail station Is proposed to be built within the juriscilctlonal boundaries of the city of Miami. Any
incidents requiring law enforcement services to the location will be provided by the Miami Police
Department. However, any criminal Incident that may occur ontin the train while in transit from one train
station to another within Miami -Dade County; that requires law enforcement response and investigation,
where specific jurisdiction cannot be Immediately established (e.g, city of Miami), then the responsibility
of the Investigation will be that of the Miami -bade Police Department (MDPD). While in transit, initial
emergency response to these incidents shall be that of the closest available jurisdiction.
While the Miami Police Depadrnent will.provide police services to the proposes[ development, the Miami
Intermodel Center, mental Car Center, Stephen P. Clark Center, Metrorall, and Metromover would
directly be Impacted. These locations are serviced by our Police Operations Section, located at 140
West Flagler Street, Miami, Florida, and Airport district, located at the Miami International Airport. Our
current staffing allows for an average emergency response time of eight minutes or less.
A review of the app4icatlon and related docuunents was conducted to predict the impact an the MDPD"s
resources and the Impact that the location could have on the proposed zoning modification changes. A
police check of crimeslcalls for service of the area was completed and has been provided in (lie
attached documents for your Department,
Current data of police staffing, population, and crimeslcalls for service was examined to project any
increase in calls for service. Based on this data and due to the nature of the request, which Includes
but is not limited to. an increase in residents, vlsitorshourists, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, It cannot be
predicted as to a specific number of projected Increase In calls for service. Experience lends itself to
anticipate that when additional people are present, traffic Increases, and calls for police service will rise.
X13
Eric Silva, AICD, Assistant Director
June 13, 2014
Mage 2
Present MDPD staffing would not accommodate the anticipated Increase In the volume of calls
for service. Nonetheless, as the project is developed, it is projected that a minimum of 27 additional
sworn police personnel, plus support staff and equipment will be required at the Police Operations
Section and the Airport'Distrlct to maintain current levels of service. The antielpated enhancement in
staffing should be Increased as the project is developed to provide a smooth and safe transition.
However, should demand for pollee services increase beyond current levels, additional sworn
personnel, support staff, and equipment may be required to maintain current levels of service.
Additionally, it Is recommended that DT Miami, LLC., (All Aboard Florida) work closely with the Miami
Police Department and the MDPD In considering security options for the site.
Whilo the MDPD does not object to any proposed zoning modifications to complete this project,
we strongly recommend the following to be implemented If the proposed zoning modifications
are approved.
+ Meet regularly with business owners, County and city officials, and residents In the surrounding
area to discuss and remedy Issues of mutual concern,
• Work with the Publlc Works and Waste Management Department regarding pedestrian traffic,
vehicle traffic, speed zones; parking areas, and related signage along bordering streets.
• Provide continual licensed and uniform security personnel throughout the development and on the
trains.
• install Internal and exterior security cameras throughout the project with electronic archiving
capabilities of a minimum of 94 days.
• Regularly meet with the MDPD and Miami Police Department in order to address matters of mutual
concern as It relates to the development.
• Consult with the MDPD and Miami Police Department to develop and maintain Incident plans and -
protocols for hurricane and other emergency situations. The plans shat) be inclusive of the
entire development and reviewed annually by the law enforcement officials.
• Consult with the MDPD and Miami Police Department and local homeless advocacy groups to
establish protocols to gest address matters concerning the local homeless population.
• In order to accommodate the citizens, businesses, and police resources operating within the
development area, an Indoor/secured police work station is requested to be located within the train
station. The work station should include, but not be limited to, a desktwork table, telephone,
computer terminal, restroo n, and a "Police Only" parking space located near the work station.
The applicant Is encouraged to work with police during any future application changes to determine the
best possible solutions or security options.

V11. SITZ: PLAN CRITIQUE
• This land requires platting in accordance with Chapter 28 of the Miami -Dade County
Code. Any right-of-way dedications and/or improvements required will be accomplished
thru the recording of a plat.
Development Improvements Required for This Project:
The following improvements are required based on the revised traffic impact study, dated
June 2014, to alleviate the project impacts:
• It should be noted that additional traffic analysis will be required for different
components of the development during later phases of the application.
• The right-of-way dedication may be required upon review of the future phases of
the project.
• Tile future level of service analysis for NW 1 Avenue and NW 8 Street intersection
shown in Appendix K, revealed failing operational conditions for northbound tell -
turn lane. Therefore, the northbound left -turn storage capacity must be extended.
• The pedestrian infrastructure deficiencies (sidewalks, ramps, pedestrian countdown
signal heads) as discussed in Table 22 oil page 48, should be mitigated by the
developer for safe and efficient pedestrian circulation around the project site.
• Optimization of f"ollowing signals should be provided and signal timing
coordination should be carried out with the Traffic Signals and Signs Division,
Miami -Dade County Public Works And Waste Management Department:
a. NW 2 Avenue and NW 3 Street
h. NW 2 Avenue and NW 6 Street
Bicycle routing on street and on site need to be included in addressing; non -
motorized access to the proposed site and between transit modes.

The proposed Baylink light rail system should be integrated into the development
frontage. If'the Baylink routing adopts a westbound to northbound right tuna from
NW 2 Street to NW 1 Avenue, it would be preferred if both directions of track can
be placed on the west side of NW I Avenue. This will achieve a bi-directional stop
to be placed on the same side of the avenue as the AAF station entrance. A sliver of
right of way and/or easement may be needed on the west side of NW I Avenue
between NW 2 Street and NW 3 Street if the Avenue's right of way is insufficient,
V111. ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS RIiQIJIRED FOR THIS PROJECT:
Review of the traffic impact study and roadway network revealed the following additional
required improvements:
• future level of service analysis for NW I Avenue and NW 8 street intersection shown
in Appendix K is failing operational conditions for the northbound left -turn lane.
Therefore, the northbound left -turn storage capacity must be extended.

4) A review of the Trip Generation Calculations revealed that a 10% of the total daily boarding/alighting data
was assumed to be the trip generation of the train station (see pages 334 and 335 of the PDF). The report
should indicate the reasons for assuming 10% only. If this area is supposed to encourage more transit use and
trips performed by walking or riding a bike, then, the trip generation of the train station may be higher during
the peak hours.
5) Queuing analyses: It is understood that at this tirae there are some issues that could be changing in the future
during the design of the project. For example, at this time the study assumes a ticket dispenser. It is
recommended to mention that the queuing analyses will have to be submitted again when the final design is
completed to verify that queues would not impact traffic operations on the roadway network.
a) The questing analyses assumed a ticket dispenser (push button) system. Consider indicating if the service
rate of the ticket dispenser is similar to that of a proximity card reader.
b) Consider verifying if valet parking operations are planned for the residential, hotel and shopping land uses,
c) Please verify the calculation shown on page 539 since it does not appear to match the trip generation values
presented on pale 334. For example, the volume for "station" shown on page 539 is 79 in the morning but page
334 shows 95 vph after applying the multimodal and pedestrian reductions. It is likely that the overall result
may not change, but it is better to verify.
6) The study should include the intersections of NW 3rd Street with NW 8th St and NW 6th St.
I will call you later to discuss,

Subject: Contract C9299 - TWO No. 24, Assignment No. 29: Review TIA for All Aboard Florida;
Miami Station
Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
Good morning Leefang,
I reviewed the T1A prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, and offer the following continents for the
Department's consideration:
1) Operational analyses:
a) A review of the operational analyses for all the intersections used it Heavy Vehicle (HV) percentage of'
5%. However, the report does not indicate how the HV of 5 % was obtained. A brief review of the HV values
provided in pages 309 through 332 show that some movements have a HV greater than 5%.The operational
analyses should Utilize the. HV obtained from the TMCs.
b) Also, it was observed that some of the operational analyses do not include the HV percentage for certain
approaches where the through movement is shared with left and/or right -turn movements. For example, on
page 220 it can be observed that a HV of 5% was used for WBT but not for WBRT and WBL'I' movements.
c) The study should include the calculations of -the PI IF utilized in the operational analysis since the PHF
utilized in the analyses cannot be verified based on the TMCs included in Appendix C.
d) Since the trips are reduced by approximately 33% (because of multimodal and pedestrian reduction factors),
consider evaluating or discussing the impact of the pedestrians in the operational analyses. Please note that the
accessibility of pedestrians/bicyclists should be documented since the TIA considers a considerable reduction in
the number of trips because of the pedestrian trips.
2) On page 13, under"Programmed Roadway Improvements":
a) The report states that "...the majority of through truck traffic on ...will utilize the Tort Miamij tunnel instead
of the local street network" However, it appears that 100% of the truck volume was removed from the through
traffic (e.g., see page 348 where 10 vehicles were deleted from WBT). Please note that a study conducted by
i+DOT has indicated that approximately 12% of the trucks that go to the Pott wi lI not be able to enter into the
tunnels because of their cargo. The traffic study should not remove 100% of the truck traffic at the selected
intersections.
3) On page 20.. The trip distribution shows that 14% of the entering traffic would utilizeNW 5th Street. This
assumption appears to be too high for NW 5th Street considering the layout of the arterials in downtown

MDT Project No. OSP006
FSC No. 41.04
Project Description
14-059 — DT Miami, LLC, All Aboard Florida (AAF), is requesting a Special Exception for site
plan approval to permit a passenger rail train, commercial and residential uses within the Rapid
Transit Zone, The proposed AAF Miami Station will consist of an elevated platform that will
allow for at grade pedestrian and vehicular circulation to be preserved. Along with the AAF
Miami Station the proposed mixed-use development will include 70,600 square feet of rail
operational area, 177,400 square feet of station retail, up to 1,111 residential apartment units,
327 room hotel and 1,155,000 square feet of office uses. The subject property is approximately
8.93 acres in size and is located west of NW 1st Avenue, between NW 19t Street and NW 8vt
Street, Miami -Dade County, Florida.
MDT Comments/Recommendations
The proposed project will restore passenger rail service within the existing Florida's East Coast
(FEC) corridor. The proposed new passenger rail service will be a 235 -mile privately owned and
operated intercity service that will connect Southeast Florida — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and
West Palm Beach to Orlando, Florida. The project site is located within the Rapid Transit Zone
and the Downtown Intermodal Terminal Area, (i.e., Historic Overtown/Lyric Theater (OTV) and
Government Center Metrora#I stations, the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. and the Government Center
Metromover stations and the Central Business District (CBD) Downtown Miami 13us Terminal)
and will connect to existing local MDT transit hubs/systems,
Miami -Dade Transit (MDT) is pleased to welcome All Aboard Florida (AAF) to the Downtown
Intermodal Terminal Area and seeks to fully integrate the two transit systems for a state-of-the-
art Downtown Intermodal Station featuring a smooth and seamless travel experience for all
transit riders, MDT believes that tho full integration of AAF intercity passenger rail service and
the MDT system is key to the success of the rider experience for all passengers and will have a
transformational effect on Downtown Miami, South Florida and the State of Florida.

Review of DIC Project No. 14-059
DT Miami, t -LO
MDTProiect No. 051'006
FSC No. 41.04
Presently AAF and Miatni-Dade County are planning the replacement of the existing CSD
Downtown Miami Bus Terminal with a consolidated 27 -bay Metrobus terminal, which is critical to
the success of this development. MDT urges the applicant to continue to work with Miami -Dade
County towards achieving this important component of the project, MDT recognizes that the
integration of the AAF intercity passenger rail service and the MDT system will likely require
upgrades and modernization of MDT facilities in the Downtown Intermodal Terminal Area that
are directly impacted by the AAF development. At the time that more detailed information is
available, MDT reserves the right to request Improvements to said facilities as well as a shared
financial contribution to operate and maintain the same.
The nature of this project is such that MDT property, facilities, and services are surrounded by,
directly adjacent to and under various components of this private rail mixed-use development.
The proposed project runs parallel to the MDT rail guideways from North of NW 80' Street to NW
Vt Street, approximately 0.5 miles. To the west of the OTV Metrorail Station and OTV office
buildings is the proposed AAF parking garage (AAFICRA parcel), Immediately to the east of the
OTV Metrorail station is the proposed AAF North Concourse and Overbuild 1 Office Building.
To the south of the OTV Metrorail station and east of the rail guideways between NW 6t'' Street
and NW 51h Street is the AAF proposed Mixed Use Overbuild 2 residential building. The
proposed AAF platform runs over the metromover guideway along NW 51h Street between the
Metrorall guideway and NW Vt Avenue- To the east of the MDT Government Center Metrorail
and Metromover stations is the proposed AAF mixed use tower, and directly northeast, is the
proposed AAF Overbuild 3 residential or office building. The applicant shall be required to obtain
all necessary easements, agreements, and/or permits to utilize MDT Right -of -Way, air rights, or
if any portion of the project encroaches into MDT property.
MDT opines that the size and characteristics of the proposed development will generate a
significant number of residents, employees, and tourists, which is expected to result in a major
increase in ridership for all MDT transit modes. Based on the projected increase in ridership and
impact to the area, it is estimated that there is sufficient demand to warrant the improvement of
the existing Downtown Intermodal Terminals, consisting of, but not limited to, the Historic
Overtown/Lyric Theater (OTV) and Government Center Metrorail stations, the Wilkie D.
Ferguson, Jr. and the Government Center Metromover stations and the Central Business
District (CBD) Downtown Miami Bus Terminal, as herein described.
MDT staff has reviewed the subject application and has determined that the same meets the
adopted mass transit level of service standards as prescribed by Policy MT -1A of the Mass
Transit Sub -element of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), As such, MDT
has no objections to this application, looks forward to continuing to work with the
applicant to create a fully integrated internodal hub for Miami's urban core, subject to
the following conditions:
Conditions:
1. That Miarni-Dade Transit (MDT) reviews and approves the site plans for the proposed
project through the Administrative Site Flan Review (ASPR) process.

The County ISD recognizes that there will be many benefits to employees in these buildings and to
visitors to these buildings once the project is completed, such as greater transportation access to these
buildings and greater access to retail, office and residential amenities immediately adjacent to these
buildings, However, it should be noted that there will be possible short term disruptions to pedestrian
and vehicle access to these buildings during the construction period.
Recommendation: ISD has no ob'lection to this application. However, ISD would recommend that DT
Miami, LLC take all the necessary steps to minimize the disruptions in access to these four (4) County
owned buildings. To that and, DT Miami, LLC should coordinate with ISD personnel at the earliest
possible date prior to construction on how to minimize disruption in access to these buildings during the
entire construction period.
