Throuqh extensive negotiations over the past several years, two proposed settlements have been reached between all the concerned parties. One settlement concerns the association and the individuals aqainst the Developers; the other settlement, which is the Subject of this memorandum and commission action, is between the Developers and the City. Of course it has been aqreed that all parties to the circuit Court action will qive mutual releases to the other. The heart of the Settlement Aqreement between the City and the Developers is that the total number of 800 residential units, which would have been 210 ft. above finished floor elevation, is being decreased to 642 units and that the tower which was to be 21 stories hiqh on the canal side of the property directly across from the single family residences in the area will be replaced by a total not to exceed 50 townhomes. Twenty- (20) two-to-three story townhome units not to exceed a height of 35 ft. above finish floor elevation will be built on the canal side of the property, and the remaininq thirty (30) four-story townhome units not to exceed a heiqht of 60 ft. above final floor elevation will be built alonq the 20th street side of the property. A draft of the Settlement Aqreement had been previously provided and the amended settlement document in the Commission packaqe reflects minor changes to the initial draft in which the Developer has qiven the City increased assurances regarding a comprehensive Streetscape Program for the area immediately adjacent to the project. As the Association's and individual homeowners' attorney has approved the Settlement Agreement regarding his clients - which essentially mirrors the aqreement between the City and the 55 Developers - it is recommended by the City Attorney's office and the City Administration that the Commission authorize the execution of this Settlement.

New Permits. The City expressly recognizes that Yacht Club possesses vested rights to develop 800 residential units on the Property based upon substantial expenditures incurred by Yacht Club and its predecessors in good-faith reliance, to their substan- tial detriment, and based upon the issuance of final development orders by the city and/or Dade County approving the development of the Property for a maximum of 800 residential units. Based upon this vested rights status, the city agrees to "grandfather" the development of the Property for a maximum of 800 residential units, solelv for the purposes of concurrency and impact fee requirements, such that any new permits issued by the city for construction of improvements on the Property not exceeding 800 residential units for a period of ten years from the effective date of this Settle- ment Agreement, shall be deemed retroactive to May 3l, 1989, and therefore shall not be subject to the then existing concurrency or impact fee requirements. The City maintains the option, however, to divest the "grandfather" status of up to l74 residential units located on the Property for the limited purpose of public sewer capacity onlv, upon Yacht Club's failure to obtain building permits for the construction of such 174 residential units (or less) on the Property by no later than six months after Yacht Club's receipt of written notice by the City of the city's intention to exercise its option. The City may only exercise this option no earlier than two years after the effective date of this Settlement Agreement. The vested rights recognized by the City, for the limited purposes 81M1,_\__.3\06/ll/n - 9 - expressed above, apply only in the event that the Property is developed consistent with the Covenant. l3. Transferable Development Riahts. The City acknowledges that, by Yacht Club's agreeing, as a condition of this Settlement Agreement, to reduce the density on the Property from the permitted 800 units to a lesser number of units that are actually con- structed, Yacht Club has not lost its right to seek transferable development rights (TDR's) for such reduction in units in the future, if, and when, an ordinance permitting same is enacted by the city, merely because the city's existing Transferable Develop- ment Rights Ordinance (Ordinance No. 89-2665, Section 6-29) does not presently permit transfer of such TDR's as applied to the Property. The city is under no obligation, however, to consider the adoption of such Transferable Development Rights Ordinance. This provision shall only be applicable for a period of ten years from the effective date of this Settlement Agreement. 14. Resolution of Claims. By their execution of this Settle- ment Agreement, the Parties resolve all issues that were raised or which could have been raised in the Circuit Court Lawsuit.
