Dear Messrs. Harrison and Lafaurie: This letter is written as a follow-up to the meeting held on January 20th, 2010, at which Louis Lafaurie, Tulia Badillo, Tina Campbell, the undersigned and Vice Mayor Thaler were present wherein we discussed possible solutions to the traffic concerns raised by Oceanview Building A Condominium Association, Inc., and Oceanview Building B Condominium Association, Inc. (collectively "Oceanview") regarding Heritage Park and the parking garage to be located therein (collectively "Heritage Park"). The traffic concerns were raised not only by Oceanview through its Boards and residents, but by counsel, Jeffrey Bercow, of Bercow, Radell & Fernandez, P.A., and its traffic consultant, Molly Hughes of Hughes Hughes, Inc. (collectively "Professionals"). As you know, the City has a strong desire to address concerns raised by its residents. As City Manager, I have an obligation to work with residents to improve the quality of life. I certainly believe that the construction of Heritage Park will improve the quality of life of residents. I know that you are in agreement with me. However you and other members of your respective Boards, as well as the residents living within your respective condominiums, individually and through their Professionals have expressed certain concerns about the traffic impact of Heritage Park upon the residents of Ocean view A and Oceanview B. To address these traffic concerns, the City contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., to conduct an access analysis report ("Report"), which was shared with Oceanview. The Report concluded that closing the curb cut currently located on Collins A venue and the rerouting of traffic to utilize the parking garage via Galahad-Dade Boulevard and the private roadway located within the Ocean Reserve property would not significantly impact the level of service on Galahad-Dade Boulevard. Notwithstanding the findings of the Report, the City agrees to take further steps to alleviate the traffic concerns. These steps include but are not limited to the following: (I) The City agrees to construct a third inbound lane on Galahad Dade Boulevard on the western end to allow queuing for the cars (residents) approaching the automatic gate to bypass the cars (non-resident) stopped at the guardhouse, providing that Oceanview A and Oceanview B consents to such improvements. This third lane will start as far east as allowable. Of the two remaining lanes going all the way to Collins, the southern one will be for access to the park and park garage. The City agrees to pay for the improvements and to maintain Galahad Dade Boulevard from Collins A venue to the northwestern most portion of the park easement granted by Ocean Reserve (Building C), this point being just east of the Oceanview guardhouse. (2) The City will reconstruct Galahad-Dade Boulevard per attached Exhibit "A". This reconstruction will introduce two new additional west bound lanes. One will be the approximate length of the Heritage Park property to allow permitted residents of Oceanview a segregated and unrestricted access. The second will be approximately two hundred feet in length, and will be for visitors and guests who will have to stop at the guard house. A third lane will allow direct access to the park and parking garage. In addition, as shown, two exit lanes will also run essentially the full length of the park. One will be for traffic turning northbound onto Collins, one will be for traffic turning southbound onto Collins. (3) The City shall require the A ventura Beach Club Condominium Association, Inc. or its successors, to pay for sufficient police traffic patrol if attendance at an event held at the A ventura Beach Club Condominium (more commonly referred to as the Ramada and/or Marco Polo, for which the garage located within Heritage Park is primarily being constructed) meets the special events guidelines established by the City from time to time. The City will follow its customary guidelines for permitting such events and they are shown in attached as Exhibit "B". (4) The City's policy is to provide police traffic patrol at all appropriate City events at all City parks and this policy will be applied to Heritage Park as well. (5) The City has instructed the architects who designed Heritage Park to include a structural opening on the northern face of the parking garage at the east end. A copy of the plans showing this redesign of the parking garage is attached hereto and made a part hereof. This opening will be covered with the decorative perforated aluminum that will be used on the northern and eastern faces of the building. The purpose of this structural opening is to permit ingress or egress to the parking garage from Collins other than Galahad Boulevard in the event future traffic congestion makes the current anticipated ingress and egress to the parking garage via Galahad-Dade Boulevard and the roadway located with the Ocean Reserve Condominium property undesirable, dangerous, etc. and less safe than the proposed opening as determined by the City's traffic consultant. (6) The City will install a gate in the fence at the existing curb cut on Collins Avenue to be used for servicing and maintaining Heritage Park as needed. The purpose of maintaining the curb cut on Collins A venue and installing a gate in the fence at that location is to enable the construction of a servicing and maintenance roadway therefrom to the structural opening described in paragraph (5) directly above. This roadway shall be used strictly for servicing and maintenance of the park unless changed by the City Commission. (7) The City will not in any way interfere with any exclusive easement rights belonging to Oceanview A and B. (8) The City agrees to examine the traffic patterns implemented as part of the initial Heritage Park development, layout, and traffic ingress and egress pattern described above if and when any of the following occur: a. If the Level Of Service (LOS) at the intersection of Galahad-Dade Boulevard Collins Avenue drops to a D or below as defined in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). b. The City is able to obtain permission from FDOT to place a traffic signal at the southern end of Heritage Park on Collins Avenue. c. If the events listed in "a" or "b" above occur, the City will take remedial appropriate actions to address the traffic issues. If the terms of this letter are acceptable to you and your colleagues, please execute below. Thank you for your cooperation.

Snyder With regard to the hiring of extra-duty police officers, the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department requires that all necessary permit requirements have been met prior to the authorization of extra- duty police services. As there are many types of events / details where officers are requested, the police department retains the right to determine what type of events will be authorized and the number of officers necessary to safely handle the detail. This determination will always be based on the safety of the officers, as well as the general public. Considerations as to the number of officers required to work a specific detail include but are not limited to, the number of guests I patrons invited to the event and the estimated impact on the flow of traffic in and around the site location. A standard formula for scheduling a resort function where the event is expected to adversely influence the normal flow of traffic would be a minimum of two officers. This allows for predetermined points to be controlled, allowing for ease with ingress and egress to the event, while providing the safe coordinated control of traffic along our roadways. Any event that requires three or more officers will automatically require a supervisor to oversee the detail. The supervisor will then determine if any specialized traffic enforcement equipment is required. In the event that officers from this agency are not available to work an approved event, the extra- duty coordinator will forward the request to law enforcement agencies who share a common jurisdiction, i.e. Florida Highway Patrol, Miami Dade County Police Department or agencies with which we share Mutual Aid. ...
