The Miami River Commission’s (MRC) Urban Infill Working Group (UIWG) met August 16, 2002, 9 am, in the Miami Riverside Center, 444 SW 2nd Ave., 3rd floor conference room.  Mr. Jim Murley chaired the meeting.  The attendance sheet is enclosed.

 

Jim Murley, provided the UIWG with a brief summary of a positive meeting he attended regarding the Infill Plan on August 15, 2002, in the City Manager’s Conference Room, with Dena Bianchino, Assistant City Manager; Javier Fernandez and Otto Boudet, Mayor Diaz’s Office; Clark Turner and Sarah Ingle, City Planning Department; and Brett Bibeau, MRC.  Murley stated Ms. Bianchino and Mr. Fernandez felt the majority of the Urban Infill Plan’s recommendations (Pages 85-87) were entirely acceptable to the City and directed the City representatives on the UIWG at the meeting (Turner and Ingle) to provide the Working Group with specific revisions to a few of the recommendations.  The group agreed that additional economic analysis will be conducted upon adoption of the Infill Plan, and Murley offered to assist in securing funding for the additional analysis.

The UIWG reviewed all revisions submitted by the Infill Plan’s August 15, 2002 final revision deadline.  Turner and Ingle provided the City Planning Department’s amendments to the Plan’s recommendations.  Helen Brown, Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning, stated the County had previously submitted all final revisions, which already had been incorporated into the current draft.  Bibeau stated that at Mr. Murley’s request, he had contacted every MRC Board member or Designee and submitted all final revisions to the UIWG.  Attached are all final revisions to the Infill Plan.  The City and County UIWG Representatives unanimously approved the MRC’s proposed final revisions, to this seventh draft of the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan.

The UIWG forwarded all final Infill Plan revisions to the Miami River Commission’s Executive Committee’s publicly noticed meeting at 3 pm, University of Miami, Rosenstiel School, 4600 Rickenbacker Cswy, Library Map Room.  The Miami River Commission will consider adoption of the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan, as their Strategic Plan, pursuant to Chapter 163, at their publicly noticed meeting, on September 9, 2002, noon, United Way, Ansin Building, 3250 SW 3rd Ave.  The Infill Plan will then be presented to the City and County Commission’s for adoption by ordinance, yet none of the plan’s recommendations are unilaterally executed without further actions.

The meeting adjourned.
