A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Selecting 4M Investors, LLC. as the Proposer to Design and Build an Upscale Lifestyle Center Consisting of a Park, Parking Garage, Aquarium and High End Retail Shops; Providing the City Manager and the City Attorney with the Authority to Negotiate a Design!Build Contract with 4M Investors, LLC. for Approval by the City Commission; Providing for an Effective Date. (RFP 10-10-01) Action: [City Clerk's Note: A Protest Letter was receivedfrom Kelly Conner.] City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Conner reported noting that this park would be located from the Public Storage Building all the way to Collins A venue, the current strip center would be removed and a beautiful facility will be placed there. RFP No. 10-10-01 was issued for this project, and a Pre-Submittal Conference was held with about 35 interested parties in attendance. At the bid opening on November 8, 2010, there was only one response and it was from 4M Investors, LLC. The proposal was reviewed and it meets the requirements and qualifications of the RFP, and so tonight we asked the proposer to make a presentation to the Commission, and at the end of that presentation to approve a Resolution authorizing staff to begin the negotiation process with the developer, and come back to the Commission with a potential contract for approval. Public Speakers: Cliff Schulman, Esq.; Eduardo Castifieira, Architect; Joe Milton; Arie Steiger; Kelsey Dunning; Bob Welsh; Samantha Whitcraft of Oceanic Defense; Danny Iglesias Clifford Schulman, Esq., with the Law Firm of Weiss, Serota, Helfman, et al. representing 4M Investors, LLC, said that 4M Investors is a wholly subsidiary of Joe Milton and Associates. This RFP gave them a very unique and different opportunity to join with the City in a private/public partnership. The City's vision led them to acquire 3.5 acres ofland in the most important thoroughfare of Sunny Isles Beach which is Sunny Isles Boulevard and they now have the opportunity to work with the City to create something new, unique, innovative and beautiful. Create for example in their proposal, over 2 acres of public park and open space, over 300 new and direly needed parking spaces, a new IMAX Theater dedicated to the environment, meeting spaces that can seat over 700 people, a cultural center where we will be able to provide cultural gatherings, we can partner with educational opportunities, with the Sunny'lsles Beach Community School. We get One Million tourists a year in Sunny Isles Beach and when they want to have entertainment during the day, they go across the bridge to find it, they don't leave their dollars in Sunny Isles Beach, and this will be the first opportunity for a real attraction to capture those tourists and tourist dollars in Sunny Isles Beach. You are going to be taking a piece of property and returning it to the tax rolls with over $50 Million of private investor money, this proposal calls for 4M to invest $50 Million of their own money to build this. 80% of the total project cost is private investor funds, and they had submitted a Letter of Credit saying that they will be capable of bonding 110% of the total project cost which will be about $70 Million. There will be 184 construction jobs, and 1,000 full time jobs will be created by this Project. He said the City's Planning Consultant Jack Luft stated that this proposer met each and every criteria of the City's Comprehensive Plan and in his Park Analysis and Plan given to the Commission a couple of years ago. Tonight you are only authorizing negotiations to bring this back to you for the final contract, and the site plan comes back to the Commission in public hearing. 5 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting November 18,2010 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Clifford Schulman, Esq. introduced Eduardo Castifieira, Architect President/CEO of Axioma3Architects who presented renderings of the Project. This site is "island conditioned" because it is surrounded by major boulevards with a lot oftraffic. This was to be a Civic Project, a project that had to appeal to every age. The focus was on a pedestrian friendly environment and something that would be part of a Town Center setting and of a Park. One of the things they did was to create parking at the ground level, and the Park element became the roof at 14 feet from the ground level. In order to not create a bottle-neck effect and to open the views, they created an urban plaza at ground level, the building was set back in excess of the zoning requirements. The parking garage is layered and hidden. They created grand steps that can become sitting areas for people to enjoy the Park and look back towards the Great Lawn, and events that could take place on the Great Lawn. The steps take the user to a series of levels that culminate at 34 feet above the ground, you clear the overhead pass and you start getting fantastic views of the Ocean. The Aquarium is very educational and tied in with the schools, and there is an art wall where the architecture becomes the wall. Mr. Castifieira said one of the things that they found very advantages in this site was that it is not deep into the City, it is a Gateway into the City, and is ideal in capturing traffic at a point and not allowing the traffic to go all the way to the Collins A venue intersection. In the design, they identified very early on that the entrances and exists had to be at the east side of the project and not further down. There will be a construction site entrance for trucks which would be approximately 900 feet from the intersection of Collins A venue and Sunny Isles Boulevard. They wanted to keep it away from that intersection, and if you are going east you enter on the bottom, the ingress and egress is basically on your west side. Commissioner Brezin asked how much space is allocated for the restaurant in the facility, and Mr. Schulman said in the main building, we don't know how big the restaurant is going to be until we have a vendor, but it is anticipated and the City wanted a minimum of30,000 square feet of high end commercial space. In addition, in the Parking Garage that is being built on the south side of Sunny Isles Boulevard, will be another 19,000 square feet of retail at street level. Mayor Ede1cup said it is not too different from the old buildings that were there because they had about 45,000 square feet in them. Commissioner Goodman asked about the parking area for commercial deliveries, is it high enough for trucks to get in there, and Mr. Castifieira said yes, and they had identified this edge to be the least likely to have any pedestrians, and so that becomes the back ofthe house, and there would be loading zones located there, and when they are loading and unloading it will not be visible from the street. Joe Milton stated they have been developing here since 1993, and have owned land here since 1982, and this is the first chance to really give back. They are putting in 30% of their own private equity to develop this, they have 70% from institutional lenders that they have to personally guarantee because this market doesn't allow for anything less. Mayor Edelcup opened the meeting for public discussion. Concerns were raised on the safety of the animals, and Mr. Schulman said they have engaged the services of a marina consultant to ensure the protection of the animals, and noted that this is not a major aquarium, it will have 65,000 square feet, and they will basically be dividing it into areas rather than one major aquarium bowl, and there will be a place for children to interact with 6 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting November 18,2010 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida the animals. Mayor Edelcup noted that the City received a protest letter from Kelly Conner who had indicated that the Miami Seaquarium will be part of this project, and he asked Mr. Schulman if that was still the status, and Mr. Schulman said no, it is not. Former Commissioner Danny Iglesias said this project is a tremendous asset to this City. He suggested that the developer work with FDOT to start the signage before crossing over the bridge to ensure traffic is queued over eliminating a lot of the weaving areas, and with five lanes, traffic will not be a problem. He will work with the City to get permits from FDOT. After discussion, the majority of the Commission was in favor. Commissioner Scholl said that he has been critical of this project from the beginning because of lack of detail/specificity, he does not understand the economic sense of this facility although it is a beautiful facility, and doesn't believe we have the infrastructure for it. Mayor Edelcup said he is in favor of it because of all the benefits that the City will receive and clarified that the aquarium is only a portion of that property. Many people in the City have come to the Commission over the years and asked for a Cultural and Entertainment Center which the people expected the City to fund through taxpayer money, and this opportunity came to us where we did not have to use taxpayer money to have a cultural center that has an on-going operating and maintenance cost that someone else has volunteered to make available to the City without us having to make that initial investment in that infrastructure building or the ongoing maintenance cost of it. At the same time pay taxes to the County and to the City and pay rent to the City for the land that they are leasing. The $22 Million number is a gross number which is closer to $15 or $17 Million when the retail space is sold. For that we are getting a Park and a Parking Garage, and even though it is a coordinated project in which everything flows together, there are two distinct ownership pieces, one is a Park for the City of 2.5 acres, and the second piece that the City owns is a 300+ garage which will generate revenue. The million tourists that come to our City every year have never had an opportunity to spend money in our City, and we are giving them that opportunity which gives our retail segment of this City a better and firmer footing to grow and establish a more upscale shopping center, and we get the benefit of that which may create a better environment for other retail stores that we would like to see in our City. The investment the City is making is strictly for a Park and a Parking Garage, and the investment of the Milton Family is for this retail complex which includes an aquarium, and they will fund that operation totally. It is a wonderful education facility, a wonderful opportunity for adults with the banquet halls, meeting places, cultural arts programs, and the Park of itself is a beautiful facility that will give ocean vistas to an area that never was able to see the ocean before. This Park will be set well above the standards of any Park anywhere else in the country. We have to move forward and seize opportunities when they are presented to us. Commissioner Brezin moved and Vice Mayor Thaler seconded a motion to approve this resolution. Resolution No. 2010-1632 was adopted by a voice vote of 4-1 [Commissioner Scholl against] in favor.
