Condensed Title:
A resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach approving and officially adopting
the Basis of Design Report defining and describing Water and Sewer Bond, G.O. Bond, and Stormwater
Bond funded capital improvements to be implemented through the Flamingo Lummus Right-of-Way
Improvement Proiect.
Issue:
Should the City adopt the Basis of Design Report prepared by EDAW and City staff as the officially
approved description of capital improvements to be designed and constructed through the Flamingo
Lummus Ri ht-of-Wa 1m rovement Pro'ect?
Item Summa IRecommendation:
On July 18, 2001, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 2001-24506 authorizing the
execution of an Agreement between the City of Miami Beach and EDAW, Inc., for Professional Services
associated with water and sewer, stormwater, and G.O. Bond improvements being implemented through
the Flamingo/Lummus right of way improvement project.
EDAW and City staff then initiated a comprehensive planning process that included a review of historic
information, neighborhood site visits, and inter-departmental staff and consultant visioning sessions.
EDAW developed an initial program of recommended improvements, which was presented, at a
Community Design Workshop on December 6th, 2001. Public comment and feedback from this forum was
analyzed and incorporated where appropriate in a revised plan that was presented at a second Community
Design Workshop on February 21, 2002. Residents were notified of the two Workshops by mail and
through newspaper advertisements. At the second workshop, a substantial consensus among residents
on the proposed program of improvements was achieved. EDAW then finalized the program of
improvements in a Basis of Design Report (BOOR) that was carefully reviewed by all applicable City
Departments and refined as necessary. The next step is for the City Commission to review and approve
the BOOR, which will then serve as a basis for the preparation of construction drawings for all
recommended im rovements. The Administration recommends ado tin the resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, BEACH APPROVING AND OFFICIALLY
ADOPTING THE BASIS OF DESIGN REPORT DEFINING AND
DESCRIBING WATER AND SEWER BOND, G.O. BOND, AND
STORMWATER BOND FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO BE
IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE FLAMINGO LUMMUS NEIGHBORHOOD
RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

ANALYSIS
On July 18, 2001, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 2001-24506
authorizing the execution of an Agreement between the City of Miami Beach and EDAW,
Inc., for Professional Services associated with water and sewer, stormwater, and G.O.
Bond improvements being implemented through the Flamingo/Lummus right-of-way
improvement project. EDAW's responsibilities for this project include Urban Design,
Landscape Architecture and Engineering Services for the Planning, Design, and
Preparation of Construction Documents, and for Assistance with Bidding and Construction
Administration for a fee not-to~xceed $1,840,000.
EDAW and City staff then initiated a comprehensive planning process that included a
review of historic information, neighborhood site visits, and inter-departmental staff and
consultant visioning sessions. EDAW developed an initial program of recommended
improvements, which was presented, at a Community Design Workshop on December 6th,
2001. Public comment and feedback from this forum was analyzed and incorporated
where appropriate in a revised plan that was presented at a second Community Design
Workshop on February 21,2002. Residents were notified of the two Workshops by mail,
newspaper advertisements, and the City CIP website. At the second workshop, a
substantial consensus among residents on the proposed program of improvements was
achieved. EDAW then finalized the program of improvements in a Basis of Design Report
(BODR) that was carefully reviewed by all applicable City Departments and refined as
necessary.
The BODR was approved by the City of Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board at their
June 11th meeting. It is scheduled to be approved by the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee
at their July 1st meeting. The next step is for the City Commission to review and approve
the BODR, which will then serve as a basis for the preparation of construction drawings for
all recommended improvements. The Executive Summary of the BODR is attached as
Attachment B; color copies of the entire BODR are being delivered to the Commission
under separate cover and may be obtained by others upon request. The BOOR is also
available on the website www.cmbproiects.com. A comprehensive list of the
recommended funded improvements is identified on pages 4 and 5 of the BOOR Executive
Summary; the list is attached as Attachment A to this document.
In addition to improving water and drainage infrastructure, the improvements are generally
intended to promote pedestrian activity and safety, calm traffic, introduce shade canopy,
and reinforce the existing historic character of the neighborhood. Highlights of the
improvements include the creation of a pedestrian walkway linking Lincoln Road and
Espanola Way, the complete reconfiguration of the entire length of Euclid Avenue to calm
traffic and add shade trees, the establishment of east west cross island pedestrian
corridors on 10th and 13th Street, and the creation of a small plaza at the intersection of
Pennsylvania and Washington Avenue with a map of the historic district embossed in the
plaza paving.
Several contentious issues arose during the community planning process. EDAWs first
plan called for the creation of angled parking on the east side of Pennsylvania Avenue
between 7th and 9th Streets. This option was removed and replaced with standard parallel
parking. EOAW developed several prototypes for creating median parking on the streets
with a very wide right of way. These options were considered at a Commission Workshop
but ultimately rejected and are not part ofthe funded improvements plan. Another issue of
contention that arose during community planning was the recommendation to provide a
streetscape treatment in the 1200 through 1400 blocks of Lenox Avenue, a single-family
area. Some residents argued that this funding would be better spent on additional traffic
calming on Eight Street and other areas where speeding traffic is a safety issue. Residents
of the single-family area strongly supported the Lenox Avenue improvements, noting that
their street is perhaps the most unattractive street in the project neighborhood with
haphazard parking, muddy swale areas, and virtually no shade trees. In response to these
concerns, the scale of improvements to Lenox Avenue was partially reduced while
retaining the most meaningful improvements and some additional traffic calming was
added in the southwest quadrant of the neighborhood. A strong consensus on the final
program of improvements was achieved at the Second Community Oesign Workshop.
CONCLUSION
City staff and the project consultant have successfully responded to the challenge of
developing a program of improvements for this very complex and important neighborhood
that maximizes the impact of the funding available, achieves basic infrastructure
improvement goals, and enjoys the support of a majority of residents. The process of
planning these improvements included extensive input from residents and the subsequent
modification of initial plans to respond to that input. In addition, the process of identifying
and prioritizing improvement needs has created a valuable record which can be used to
program further improvements if additional funding becomes available in the future.
By approving the BODR, the Commission will officially end the planning process for this
neighborhood and finalize the design concept. Work on formal construction drawings will
then commence. An important feature of the BODR approval is that no added input on the
concept will be solicited nor changes made unless formal construction design efforts
uncover fI s or errors in concept.

City of Miami Beach Infrastructure Improvement Program
Basis of Design Report (DRAFT)
Neighborhood: No. 10 - Flamingo/Lummus
Subject: Right-of-Way Infrastructure Improvements Program
Executive Summary
The purpose of this Executive Summary is to
highlight the information contained within the
body of this Basis of Design Report (BOOR). In
this section, key topics are introduced and
briefly described. Detailed descriptions and
information are available in the subsequent
sections as listed in the Table of Contents.
The City of Miami Beach (CMB) has developed
various programs to improve the quality of life of
its residents. On November 2, 1999, voters
approved the issuance of approximately $92
million in General Obligation Bonds for Neigh-
borhood, Parks, Beach and Fire Safety Improve-
ments, of which $57 million is allocated for
capital right-of-way infrastructure projects. In
addition to this allocation, the City administration
proposes that a portion of the recent Water and
Wastewater Bond and Stormwater Bond issues
also are allocated for capital right-of-way infra-
structure projects. These estimated $187 million
of public right-of-way infrastructure improvement
projects are to be implemented over the next six
years. Program elements include citywide
water, wastewater and stormwater improve-
ments, as well a variety of streetscape enhance-
ment projects. A breakdown of the above-
mentioned funding for this neighborhood is as
follows:
G.O. Bond
Stormwater
Water / Sewer

Proposed Streetscape Improvements
This Report includes proposed "Funded" and "Un-Funded" improvements to be used by the CMB
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Office to track and implement right-of-way improvements in the
Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood. The "Funded" improvements described in this section are for cur-
rent implementation and are within the allocated G.O. Bond construction cost budget assigned to this
neighborhood.
Proposed Streetscape Improvements (Funded)
The Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood is located in the heart of South Miami Beach and includes
much of the National Register Architectural District (see Figure ES-4). The neighborhood is com-
posed of two distinct development districts occurring to either side of the neighborhood's main
arterial- Washington Avenue. The district to the west of Washington Avenue and surrounding
Flamingo Park is comprised of mostly low-rise, multi-family residential buildings including a small

Executive Summary
Flamingo Lummus Neighborhood No. 10
enclave of single-family residential homes located directly west of Flamingo Park. The district to
the east of Washington Avenue and surrounding Lummus Park forms the mostly commercial and
mixed-use entertainment component of the National Register Architectural District and is deemed to
be the most popular tourist attraction in South Florida and one of the most successful revitalization
projects in the world.
These two development districts are linked by a network of interconnected streets and avenues.
Each take their identity from an
integral relationship with their
respective public, City owned
parks. Flamingo Park is cen-
trally located within the Fla-
mingo neighborhood (roughly
between 11th and 15th Streets &
Michigan and Meridian Av-
enues), is bordered by mostly
low-rise, multi-family residential
buildings and is heavily utilized
by residents for active and
passive activities. Lummus
Park is located along the
eastem edge of the City
(roughly between 5th and 15th
Streets between Ocean Drive
and the Atlantic Ocean), is
comprised of a mix of mostly
low-rise, commercial and
residential uses and is heavily
utilized by tourists and resi-
dents for "beach" related
activities. The two neighbor-
hoods have been combined
into Neighborhood No. 10-
Flamingo/Lummus for the
purposes of providing coordi-
nated streetscape, water and
stormwater improvements
throughout the whole of the
National Register Architectural
District (see figure ES-4).

Figure ES-4: Site Context Sheet (Detail)
The proposed neighborhood improvements include "above ground" streetscape improvements
funded through a variety of sources including the G.O. Bond, the South Pointe RDA & the City
Center RDA and "below ground" water and stormwater improvements funded through the Water
and Stormwater Bonds.
The proposed "above ground" streetscape improvements were based on a series of recommenda-
tions that came out of several resident initiated community design "charrettes" and City sponsored
workshops held during the past several years which include the Miami Beach Development Corpo-
ration sponsored events such as the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Charrette (October 1996); the

Executive Summary
Flamingo Lummus Neighborhood No. 10
Drexel Avenue Mini-Charrette (December 1997); the Miami Beach Streetscape Charrette (Novem-
ber 1998) and the Designing Our Streets Lectures & Exhibit (February 2002) as well as the City
sponsored G.O. Bond Neighborhood Meetings (March 2000) and the formerly-mentioned G.O. Bond
Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood workshops.
The following is a repre.sentative sample of common recommendations taken from the above-
mentioned charrettes, meetings and workshops:
. Improve the way Flamingo Park relates to the neighborhood.
. Improve the tree canopy throughout the neighborhood with native shade trees to protect
pedestrians from sun, rain, and off-course autos.
· Slow down vehicular traffic on neighborhood streets by narrowing traffic lanes and introduc-
ing other traffic calming measures where appropriate (Le. medians, roundabouts, bulb-outs,
street trees, wider sidewalks, special crossing treatments, etc.).
. Introduce street comer bump-outs to facilitate a shorter pedestrian crossing of traffic lanes.
. Improve the neighborhood connection to Biscayne Bay.
. Create a pedestrian Safe-way from Fisher-Fienberg School to Flamingo Park.
. Introduce neighborhood entrance and pathfinder signage.
. Provide pedestrian scale street lighting throughout neighborhood for pedestrian and vehicu-
lar safety.
. Create a strong pedestrian link from Lincoln Road to Espanola Way to Ocean Drive.
. Repair ancllor replace street pavement, sidewalks, curb & gutter and crosswalks.
The Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood G.O. Bond "design to" construction budget as identified at the
Kick-Off Meeting was $5,513,335. The size of the neighborhood as identified at the Kick-Off Meet-
ing includes approximately 63,675 linear feet of City owned right-of-way. The construction budget
divided equally across the total linear feet of CMB right-of-way in the project scope would yield
approximately $86.50 worth of improvements per linear foot. This sum would allow for only the
most basic of maintenance improvements for the neighborhood (Le. roadway milling & resurfacing,
sidewalk repair, curb & gutter repair, etc.) and little else of the requested recommended neighbor-
hood improvements. The following proposed recommendations are based on the equal distribution
of the construction budget throughout the neighborhood with special emphasis on the improve-
ments, connections and linkages requested by the CMB and neighborhood residents and stake-
holders.
The above-ground capital improvement projects in the following list can be located on the "Funded"
Plan (see Figure ES-5). Each proposed project is described in more detail on separate "Proposed
Improvements" sheets (refer to Appendix B for detailed "Proposed Improvements" sheets).
School to Park Connection - a pedestrian corridor between School and Flamingo Park.
Flaminao Park Entrances - new crosswalks and vehicular drop-off at the park entrances.
~ Street (West) Corridor - a pedestrian corridor between Biscayne Bay and Flamingo Park.
13111 Street (East) Corridor - a pedestrian corridor between Flamingo Park and Lummus Park.
1()l11 Street Corridor - a pedestrian corridor between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Traffic Calmina - new crosswalks and landscaped bump-outs throughout neighborhood.
Euclid Avenue Corridor - a pedestrian & vehicular corridor for this major north/south artery.
Drexel Avenue Link - a pedestrian corridor between Lincoln Road and Espanola Way.
Esoanola Wav & 14 Lane Link - a pedestrian corridor between Espanola Way and Lummus Park.
Washinaton Avenue to Ocean Drive - pedestrian corridors between the Flamingo Neighborhood and
the Atlantic Ocean (6l1t -14l1t Streets).

From a stormwater management standpoint, the Flamingo/Lummus Neighborhood is made up of
multiple areas referred to as drainage basins. According to the "The City of Miami Beach Compre-
hensive Stormwater Management Program" (CMB Storm Master Plan), all drainage basins encom-
passed by the neighborhood are Priority Basins (Basins 7,8, 10, 11, 12, and 13). Priority Basins
have the highest ranking in terms of pollutant loading, pollutant concentration, flooding potential,

Executive Summary
Flamingo Lummus Neighborhood No. 10
considered for storm drainage system improvements under the
City's current Right-of-Way Infrastructure Improvements Program.
The roadway system in the Flamingo/Lummus Neighborhood is
comprised of multiple roadway categories due to differing functional
characteristics (Le., traffic volumes, speed limit, number of lanes,
etc.). All roadways in the project boundary, with the exception of
Pennsylvania Ave., Washington Ave., Collins Ave. and Ocean Dr.,
are categorized as Class "C" roads (Collector and Local streets)
with a target level of service for flood protection on Class "C" roads
being zero flooding during a 5-year storm event (equivalent to 7.5
inches of rainfall over a 24 hour period). Pennsylvania Ave. is
categorized as a Class "B" road in the CMB Storm Master Plan with
a target level of service for flood protection on Class "B" roads being
zero flooding during a 10-year storm event (equivalent to 9.2 inches
of rainfall over a 24 hour period). Washington Ave., Collins Ave.
and Ocean Dr. are not in the scope of this project and any drainage
improvements along them are to be funded with other sources. The
Proposed Stormwater Improvements Plan and corresponding cost
estimate are shown in Figure E8-7, and Table E8-2, respectively.
Proposed Water Distribution Improvements
Funding for water distribution system improvements under the City's
Right-of-Way Infrastructure Improvements Program is being sourced
from the Water and Sewer 2000 Bonds, the South Pointe RDA and
the City Center RDA. The total funding amount allocated by the CMB
for water line improvements in the Flamingo/Lummus Neighborhood
is $4,625,351. This amount was used to budget and plan the pro-
posed improvements presented in this report.
According to the "City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan"
(CMB Water Master Plan), it is speculated that existing galvanized
iron pipes throughout the City's water distribution system have
corroded over the years. The total length of galvanized iron pipe in
the Flamingo/Lummus Neighborhood is approximately 1,500 feet,
all of which is 4-inches or smaller in diameter. Because the mains
are undersized and may be corroded, the CMB Water Master Plan
recommendation is to replace them with 8-inch diameter cement-
lined ductile iron pipe (Priority 2). The length of existing cast iron
pipe is approximately 88,739 feet, most of which is 6-inches in
diameter. In light of the CMB Water Master Plan's estimate that
70% of existing cast iron pipe is unlined and may be extensively
tuberculated, the recommendation is to replace and/or refurbish all
6 and 8-inch cast iron pipes (Priority 3). Lastly, the CMB Water
Master Plan recommends the extensions to water lines located on
the northeast comer of the residential sector of the neighborhood
(Priority 1). This plan meets the projected domestic and fire flow
requirements through the planning period (2015) and provides a
high level of water service.

CONMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
m
Condensed Title:
A resolution authorizing a revision to the approved rate schedule for the Jackie Gleason Theater
Issue:
Should the Commission authorize a revision to the approved rate schedule for the Jackie Gleason Theater
to accommodate smaller, not-for-profit performing groups?
Item SummarY/Recommendation:
Approve the resolution to authorize a revision to the approved rate schedule for the Jackie Gleason
Theater to accommodate smaller, not-for-profit performing groups
1. With the closing of the Colony Theatre for renovation, there is a need for performance
space in Miami Beach for arts organizations that have previously been tenants of the
Colony.
2. In an effort to accommodate some of these not-for-profit organizations, SMG, in conjunction
with city staff and the Cultural Arts Council, has created a reduced-capacity configuration of
approximately 800 seats and has proposed a reduced rental rate schedule.
3. These rates will be available Monday through Wednesday, October through April and on all
days, May through September, with short term booking discretion.
4. This reduction is achieved by draping off the back section of the first floor orchestra section
and not selling seats in the balcony. The proposed rate schedule of $1,500.00 per day flat
building rent, plus building expenses for single performance days, $2,350.00, plus building
expenses for multiple event days and $1,000.00 per non event (move-in) day is a significant
reduction of the existing not-for-profit rates.
5. Facility staffing levels and box office charges will be reduced to reflect the smaller capacity.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
APPROVED RATE SCHEDULE FOR THE JACKIE GLEASON THEATER

CAPACITY RENTAL FEE SCHEDULE TO ACCOMMODATE SMALLER
NOT-FOR-PROFIT PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION

ANALYSIS
With the closing of the Colony Theatre for renovation, there is a need for performance
space in Miami Beach for arts organizations that have previously been tenants of the
Colony. In an effort to accommodate some ofthese not-for-profit organizations, SMG, in
conjunction with city staff and the Cultural Arts Council, has created a reduced-capacity
configuration of approximately 800 seats and has proposed a reduced rental rate schedule.
Recognizing the event schedule at the Gleason, these rates will be available between
Mondays and Wednesdays October through April and on all days, May through
September.
This reduction is achieved by draping off the back section of the first floor orchestra section
and not selling seats in the balcony. The proposed rate schedule of $1,500.00 per day flat
building rent, plus building expenses for single performance days, $2,350.00 per day, plus
building expenses for multiple event days and $1 ,000.00, plus building expenses, per non
event (move-in) day is a significant reduction of the existing not-for-profit rates.
Additionally, facility staffing levels and box office charges will be reduced to reflect the
smaller capacity.
For purposes of comparison, not-for-profit rental rates for the full capacity configuration are
$3,000.00 per day, plus building expenses, for single event days, $4.650.00 per day, plus
building expenses, for multiple event days. Non event (move-in) days are $1,500.00 per
day, plus building expenses. As is with the rental rates for the full capacity configuration,
events with more than four performances per week are subject to negotiation with
management.

Because the proposed rate schedule limits the number of dates available between October
and April to weekdays, Monday through Wednesday, the rate reductions will not adversely
affect the financial performance of the theater.
The proposed rate schedule will remain in place while the Colony Theater renovation
project is completed, at which time it will be re-evaluated to determine its ongoing
applicability.
