SUBJECT: SITE LOCATIO � SR MIAMI BEACH POLICE AND COURT FACILITY:
INTERIM REPORT O. 1
In order to assist the City Commission in making a decision on location of the City's new
Police and Court Building, the Administration will be providing a series of reports on
alternative locations for the facility. The Julia Tuttle Interchange was the priority site
recommended by the City's Ad Hoc Police Station Site Selection Committee in April,
1982. At the time the•Commission directed the Administration to pursue the use of this
site, it was agreed that alternative sites should also be considered. In recent weeks,
discussion has taken place on the location of the new facility in the South Shore
Redevelopment Project Area. The following report is a site and cost analysis of three (3)
potential sites: 1) the Julia Tuttle Interchange site; 2) the Old City Hall site; and 3) the
area surrounding existing police station in the South Shore Redevelopment Area (see
Exhibit A).
I. JULIA TUTTLE INTERCHANGE SITE
The City Commission, at its May 5, 1982 meeting, directed the Administration to
initiate efforts to secure the approval for the use of this site from the appropriate
State and Federal transportation officials. Following a meeting in Tallahassee and
at the request of State officials, the City hired the firm of Post, Buckley, Schuh and
Jernigan, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive traffic analysis and to prepare a road
improvement design plan for access to the site. A final report by the consultant was
completed in August and transmitted to the Florida Department of Transportation.
An initial cost estimate of $775,000 for the necessary modifications to the
Interchange is shown on Table 6 (Attached Exhibit B).
The City was notified by the State via a communication dated September 20, 1982,
that subject to certain technical modification, the site was available for use by the
City (Attached Exhibit C). In addition to the costs projected for street
improvements, the actual costs for site preparation must also include extensive
landscaping, new utility lines, and engineering design costs. It can be estimated that
the Julia Tuttle site will require an expenditure of $1,500,000 million for site
preparation.
ADVANTAGES
1. Lower overall costs, due to no acquisition costs and development of surface
parking.
2. Enhance the entranceway to the City and allow greatest opportunity for future
expansion.
DISADVANTAGES
1. Location is not near major crime concentrations.
2. Location restricts pedestrian access; and may interrupt existing vehicular
traffic flow on Alton Road.

POLICE STATION SITE
OCTOBER 6, 1982
PAGE 2
II. OLD CITY HALL SITE
The Old City Hall property and the abutting block to the west offers a potential site
for the new facility. Use of this site would require the closing of Drexel Avenue
between 11th and 12th Street, the acquisition and demolition of residential property,
and the possible demolition of the Old City Hall building itself (see Exhibits D, E).
In order to assess the site preparation costs for the area, the Administration
determined that there are two possible alternatives. The first would be the
acquisition of the entire block (Block 37) between Pennsylvania and Drexel Avenue.
A total of eleven (11) parcels would need to be acquired. This block combined with
the Old City Hall Block (No. 23) would yield a site of approximately three (3) acres.
Total costs for acquisition, demolition (including Old City Hall) and site clearance
would be $2,229,955 based upon current assessed valuation.
A second alternative would be the acquisition of the half block west of the Old City
Hall site. This would result in a total site of two (2) acres available for
development. A total of five (5) privately-owned parcels would need to be acquired.
Based upon current assessed valuation, total costs for acquisition, demolition
. (including Old City Hall), and site clearance would be $1,032,786.
In reviewing the Old City Hall site (both alternatives) as a potential location, the
Administration makes the following observations:
ADVANTAGES
1. Location of the facility would have a positive impact on the on-going
Washington Avenue Revitalization project.
2. Location is easily accessible by vehicular, bus, and pedestrian traffic.
3. Location is close to major crime concentrations.
4. The parking requirements for the facility can be met with a municipal garage
structure which cost can be funded separately by Metered Parking Revenue
Bonds.
5. The City does have the opportunity to promote an innovative adaptive re-use
of the Old City Hall structure; in addition, the location in a commercial
corridor could also provide an opportunity for private retail/office
development on site.
DISADVANTAGES
1. The site requires use of the limited funds for acquisition of private property
and the potential relocation of residents in 142 dwelling units.
2. The site is limited in size requiring vertical development; in addition, there
would be very little expansion opportunities.
III. SOUTH SHORE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Recent discussions by the City Commission have centered around the potential of
locating the new facility within the South Shore Redevelopment Project Area. The
City's police facility consultant, Marion 1 Varner & Associates in his 1981 report
did assess the opportunities of locating the facility in the vicinity of the existing
police station. The Administration has now prepared an initial site evaluation and
cost estimate for a potential facility to be located in the area bounded by 1st
•
Street, 2nd Street, from Washington Avenue to Jefferson Avenue. The site involves
portions of Blocks 78 and 53 and would provide an area of 4.3 acres, including the
existing police building, the Court building and the police surface parking lot. A
total of 22 parcels would need to be acquired; the assessed valuation of the
properties is $1,304,306. The inclusion of demolition costs would bring total site
clearance costs to $1,406,306 (see Exhibit F).
POLICE STATION SITE
OCTOBER 6, 1982
PAGE 3
ADVANTAGES
1. Location is within current high crime rate.area.
2. Site has sufficient land area for future expansion.
3. Site development as a police/court facility would show commitment by the
City to the revitalization of the area. •
DISADVANTAGES
1. Location may be in conflict with future Redevelopment Plans for the project
area.
2. Removal of the existing police station for construction may seriously disrupt
police operations.
3. Parking garage construction costs may hvae to be funded by the Police Bond
Issue, thereby, reducing available funds for the facility.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration has reviewed all of the potential sites, recommended by the
consultant, the Ad-Hoc Committee and the City Commission. The Administration feels
that the location of and the investment in a major municipal government building, such as
the police facility, is an opportunity to accomplish multi-objectives for the betterment
and enhancement of the community as a whole.
This Interim Report summarizes our review to date and tends to highlight site number II
from a preliminary standpoint. Following a determination of the desired site, it is
recommended that additional study be initiated to determine the exact size of site needed
and the specific use and design of the new structures. This work could possibly be carried
out by the City's architectural consultant team to be selected shortly by the City.

for the new Police and Court Facility as outlined in the letter of October 12th.
Following the "Submission Requirements", my proposal is:
1. I am available to make the appraisal. Work can be initiated upon
your authorization to proceed. The appraisal will be completed
and the finished reports will be delivered to you on or before
December 15th.
2. 10 copies of the completed, bound narrative report will be furnished
to you including the estimate of market value for each parcel.
3. Included in these reports will be my opinion of "a fair rate of return
for the City's air rights".
4. A signed Certificate of Appraisal will be provided for each parcel.
5. A statement that I will give expert testimony in the event the City
takes any of these cases to court.
6. The fee for the preparation of 10 copies of the appraisal setting
forth the estimated market value and the estimated fair rate of
return for the City's air rights is $11,000.
Since there is no way to predetermine if any of the parcels will be
tried in court, preparation for court testimony and testifying will
be at the rate of $575 per day.
Thank you, Mr. Harrison, for your consideration. We would be happy to work
with you on this assignment.
My thanks, also, to Mr. Parkins for inviting this proposal.
