Re: Items PZ 5&6,1515,1529 and 1543 NW South River Drive
Dear City of Miami Commission:
During a public meeting held on October 2, 2017, the Miami River
Commission (MRC) considered this application to amend Zoning and
Land Use. The MRC (9-1) recommended approval of the proposed
development at 1515, 1529 and 1543 NW South River Drive with the
following 4 conditions:
1) Provide the public Riverwalk per the presented plans and letter
of intent, and insert the needed eastern side yard connector to
eliminate the dead-end
2) Construct the presented planned improvements to the adjacent
public greenspace, including new elevated seawall and street,
public walkway with landscaping, and the "Proposed Water Taxi
Stop" as recommended by Commissioner Bruno Barreiro and
agreed to by the development team
3) Maintain recreational vessel dockage as presented
4) Provide the Working River disclosure covenant as required by
the City's Comprehensive Plan
Since that time, the applicant recently provided the attached revised
voluntary covenant, which positively addresses the overwhelming
majority of the MRC's recommended conditions.
Your time and continued strong support for the Miami River District
are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Horatio Stuart Aguirre
Chairman,
Miami River Commission
