POINT OF CONTACT NAME <br />Mr. Mark Heinicke <br /> <br />c. POINT OF CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER <br />305-755-7811 <br /> <br />Tree Island Park is a unique 120-acre new District park in the rapidly growing <br />suburban district of western Miami-Dade County, Florida. The property <br />includes almost sixty acres of pristine marl prairie, a type of seasonal wetland <br />once prevalent in this part of the County and now largely vanished. In addition, <br />a number of subtropical hardwood forest "tree islands" dot this prairie, providing <br />habitat for rare and endangered species of animals and plants just as they have <br />historically done throughout these coastal prairies and the Everglades to the <br />west. <br /> <br />........ ....'.- ,~ <br /> <br />The County acquired the land with special environmental lands funding, state <br />grants and park impact fees, based on a proposal to provide both natural <br />preserve and community recreation areas. The initial program called for 50 <br />acres of upland development and 70 acres of wetland preserve comprising the <br />highest quality prairie and virtually all of the tree islands, which are protected by <br />County regulations. <br /> <br />.:~:;-- ,~~7.

'-'-- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />EDAW is currently completing a General (Master) Plan for Tree Island, involving <br />an extensive input process engaging area residents and a steering committee <br />representing several stakeholder County Departments. Alternative Concept <br />Plans were developed that explore distinctly different approaches to site <br />planning and circulation, and a Preferred General Plan will be submitted for <br />approval in late 2006. EDAW is also assisting with the environmental permitting <br />process to secure necessary approvals from county, state and federal <br />agencies, to enable development of a much-needed community park in tandem <br />with this protected and special natural resource. The park experience will <br />ultimately offer a unique blend of active recreation, passive recreation, nature <br />appreciation and habitat protection opportunities. <br /> <br />om <br /> <br />-:) <br /> <br />25.
