Nyarko, MA, NCARB, LEED`''P, CxA Nyarko Architectural Group, Inc. 5931 NW 173rd Drive, Suite 2 Miami, Florida 33015 Re: Ecological Paper Recycling Facility—Traffic Impact Statement Dear Mr. Nyarko: Per your request, Traf Tech Engineering, Inc. conducted a traffic impact statement associated with a 3.017-acre parcel bounded by NW 149th Street on the north, NW 147th Street on the south, and NW 22n1 Place on the east. The site is located in the City of Opa Locka in Miami-Dade County, Florida. More specifically, the site's address is 2350 NW 149`h Street. Figure 1 on the following page depicts the location of the parcel and the adjacent transportation network near the site. This traffic impact statement addresses the following three topics: 1. Trip Generation 2. Traffic Concurrency 3. Truck Access Background The project site is currently developed with approximately 93,697 square feet of industrial use (paper recycling facility). Access to the site is provided via wide and undefined driveways/pavement areas off of NW 147th Avenue, NW 22nd Place, and NW 149th Street. Trucks are currently entering and exiting the site from these access points. The wide driveways/pavement areas are being upgraded to better define all access points to and from the site. Therefore, the proposed access improvements will enhance safety and will better accommodate truck traffic arriving and departing to/from the paper recycling facility. A copy of the proposed site plan depicting the access improvements is illustrated in Attachment A. Trip Generation The trip generation for the existing industrial use was undertaken using the trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation manual (9th Edition). The trip generation analysis was undertaken for daily, AM peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions. tU0 North University .rive, Sufte C 9, hale i i; 6 fEi"Nda 3 2 Tel: (254) 5£52-09 v ax: (1) CY),t ..4.• C •14 (f) ••••• r) al 1 -F, >,77 1 0 ,*A , 0 , ..m C4 Q. cl, * = Cti 0 r ... ill.. - Li.

The trip generation analysis was based on the following assumptions: EXISTING LAND USE o Industrial Use (93,697 square feet) According to ITE's Trip Generation manual (9th Edition), the trip generation rates used for the existing land use are: GENERAL HEAVY INDUSTRIAL(ITE Land Use 120) Daily Trip Generation T= 1.50(X) Where T=number of daily trips X= 1,000 square feet of gross floor area AM Peak Hour T = 0.51 (X) Where T=number of AM peak hour trips X= 1,000 square feet of gross floor area PM Peak Hour T =0.68 (X) Where T=number of PM peak hour trips X= 1,000 square feet of gross floor area Using the above-listed trip generation rates from the ITE document, a trip generation analysis was undertaken for the existing project. The results of the trip generation analysis are documented in Table 1. TABLE 1 Trip Generation Analysis Ecological Paper Recycling Facility Number of Trips Land Use Size Daily [ AM Peak I PM ea k_ EXISTING LAND USE Heavy Industrial 93,697 sq.ft. 140 48 64 Source: ITE Trip Generation Manual(9`n Edition) As indicated in Table 1, the existing facility is currently generating approximately 140 daily trips, approximately 48 AM peak hour trips, and approximately 64 trips during the typical afternoon peak period. 3 Traffic Concurrency A review of the traffic concurrency stations located in the vicinity of the subject project indicate that ample roadway capacity is available to allow the existing industrial facility to continue to operate adequately from a traffic concurrency standpoint. Table 2 presents the traffic concurrency situation of the nearby count stations. Attachment B contains the detailed traffic concurrency data, as published by Miami-Dade County.

The primary truck access is via NW 27th Avenue. From the north, trucks can either turn left on NW 151st Street (a signalized intersection) or use NW 147th Street to access the facility. From the south, the primary access is via NW 147th Street. As depicted in the site plan contained in Attachment A, well defined access points are proposed to more safely access the parking spaces and truck loading areas located off of NW 149th Street and NW 147th Street. The access improvements will improve safety for the site. 1 Maximum level of service capacity. 2 Existing traffic volumes plus peak hour trips associated with approved,but not built,developments. Roadway capacity minus total peak hour trips(reserved trips). 4 In summary, the traffic count stations located in the vicinity of the subject project indicate that ample roadway capacity is available to allow the existing industrial facility to continue to operate adequately from a traffic concurrency standpoint. The proposed access improvements will enhance safety and will better accommodate truck traffic arriving and departing to/from the existing paper recycling facility.

Address 12705 NW 30TH AVENUE OPA-LOCKA,FL 33054 Legal Description: LOT 16,NILE GARDENS SECTIONS 1 AND 11,ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF,AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 31,PAGE 42, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF DADE COUNTY, SAID LANDS SITUATE,LYING AND BEING IN DADE COUNTY FLORIDA. WEST 151' OF TRAC 8,NILE GARDENS SECTIONS I AND II, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF,AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 31,PAGE,OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF DADE COUNTY, SAID LANDS SITUARE,LYING AND BEING IN DADE COUNTY FLORIDA.ZONED(FOLIO 08-2128-004-0281; 08-2128-004-0071) Request: Site plan review to build a permanent office facility on the property. Mr. Gerald Lee,Community Development Department addressed the council with a slide presentation explaining why the City should allow Delta Trucking to erect a permanent building on the property. The city code provides for site plan review and in our code it addresses the needs that have to be addressed for this particular project. Based on the dates and information provided,you can see the location and at that location you see two separate parcels and in recent time the largest parcel is in an industrial zoning district but the smaller parcel in residential and this presents a slight challenge but the building they plan to erect is going to be on the industrial property and with that being the case Delta Trucking would suggest that we allow them the approval tonight if you so see it and that after that they be required to rezone the secondary property that they already would have to have as a part of a unity of title so they have one parcel for the entire site so we would have to address that anyway so that when they do the same that they rezone the secondary parcel as industrial when they unify and that this be a requirement of site plan approval that is accomplished before building permits are issued no later than rezoning is completed before the C.O. is issued. Mr. Lee further pointed out the location and the zoning areas for clarity. Staff recommends approval for this use and for the remedies that has been suggested. Chairman Russell asked if there were any questions for staff.No questions were asked. Mr. Lee stated that the Representative for Delta Trucking was present. Mr. Raul Suarez-Delcampo,Architect for Delta Trucking stated he was the one that submitted the application. Chairman Russell opened the floor for the public to speak on behalf, for or against this project.No one came forward so the Public Hearing was closed. Chairman Russell asked Mr. Lee for clarity as to where the property was and where the zoning district lies. Mr. Lee pointed to the area on the slide presentation. Assistant City Attorney Hope Calhoun clarified for the record that the staff would add a fifth recommendation that would be the piece that is currently zoned residential must be rezoned to the compatible Industrial Zoning district prior to issuance of the C.O. on the building that's going to be erected on the piece that's industrial. Mr. Brown stated that it was an oversight on the Staffs part and we are trying to ensure that the applicant's rights are protected and if this is approved by Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 2 of 9 the planning council and city commission it can withstand a legal challenge and this is what staff is recommending and this is what we really need from you. Chairman Russell added that this is why we try to have these things done prior to so there are no discrepancies. Mr.Brown stated that this will be fast tracked and you are duly noted. Mr. Alvin Burke made the motion that we follow staffs fifth recommendation for approval with the necessary comments from the Assistant City Attorney Hope Calhoun.Elio Guerrero second the motion. Upon roll call,the minutes passed 4-0. Alvin Burke - Yes Steven Barrett - Yes Elio Guerrero - Yes Mr. Calvin Russell - Yes 2. Applicant Name: CITY OF OPA-LOCKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. Address: 780 Fisherman Street,4th Floor,and Opa-locka,Florida 33054 Request: An Amendment to the City Ordinance 86-8,(Land Development Code)concerning Churches in the I-1 Industrial Zoning District. Assistant Attorney Calhoun announced the second item on the agenda. Mr. Lee explained that this item was before the planning council before and you all supported it. It was forwarded to the city commission. When it went to the city commission,the way it was formatted at that time it included all industrial districts.This time it's only going to be addressing the allowance of religious facilities in I-1 zoning districts; the lowest intense industrial district in the city. The reason we are bringing this back again is that we continue to receive applications from churches that are requesting to be in industrial zoning districts. Also we know that you all supported and approved this particular use so staff is recommending approval for this with these 4 conditions. We have discussed this with the city attorney's office and they've suggested the following. Attorney Calhoun explained that what their office is recommending is that rather than making them conditions of approving the ordinance that we just amend the ordinance to fold these conditions into the ordinance. Mr. Lee stated that so it won't seem like conditional use; it will be if you want this use these things have to be adhered to. Chairman Russell stated being that apparently there are churches operating in these areas and you mentioned about parking. Mr. Lee stated that they have to have some type of agreement with the owner and the size of the ministry has to be a minimum size. Based on the size of the ministry there is an allotment based on that and it should not be a problem. Mr. Barrett asked if the owners lease to churches would the city benefit from the taxes. Mr. Lee stated yes if the owners lease to these church and remain the owner,this would not affect the taxes. Mr. Brown further stated that it's based on ownership use of the building is how the tax assessor taxes the building. It is taxed based on the ownership use per Assistant City Attorney Calhoun.Mr. Lee showed a table of other Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 3 of 9 Aninispi cities Miami Dade County and Miami Gardens that allow churches in industrial zoning districts. Chairman Russell opened the floor to the Public to speak for or against the project.Mr. Tavares Robinson 14916 SW 22nd Street Miramar,Florida. He said he had spoken to Mr. Lee regarding wanting to know about the possibility of leasing 4300 NW 135 Street. The owners gave them permission but there was an issue about operating a church in the industrial area because it was not zoned for a church. He wanted to see if the City of Opa-locka would grant permission for churches to be in industrial areas. Mr.Angelo Jackson a resident of Opa-locka 1830 NW 146 Lane he agreed with the changes to allow for churches to operate in the industrial district.The Public hearing was closed by Chairman Russell.Mr. Burke stated that as long as the tax base doesn't change and the building is being leased,but what if the whole building becomes churches then what happens?Mr.Brown stated then its ownership and if it's own by a private entity then they would still receive a tax bill and we would receive our tax from it. Mr. Brown alluded back to the gentleman that spoke about 4300 NW 135 Street the churches in the industrial area that this item before us is for I-1 zoning and not for the 1-3 zone and this would not help or assist his request at this time.Mr. Barrett said that what if the church goes in and down the road the owner decides to sell the property to the church,what would be the guidelines then?Mr. Brown said yes the church could apply for tax exemption but this provision is based on use asked if Attorney Calhoun could clarify this question. Attorney Calhoun said Mr.Brown's point was correct the church could apply for tax exemption as a church and most of them do. The ordinance speaks to the use of the property allowing a church to operate in an I-1 zoning district and what they anticipate is that a church would move in to an existing industrial building an operate with or without a change in ownership and so to your question that if ownership changes and a church then owns that industrial building,would that property then become tax exempt the answer is that they could apply for tax emption as a church and this ordinance is for permitted use not ownership. Mr. Brown stated that right now they are not allowed. Chairman Russell closed the public hearing and asked for the motion for or against. Mr. Alvin Burke made the motion to pass it with staff's recommendation and Mr.Elio Guerrero second the motion. Upon roll call,the vote passed 4-0. Alvin Burke - Yes Steven Barrett - Yes Elio Guerrero - Yes Mr. Calvin Russell - Yes Mr. Brown stated that the vote passes and the item would be forwarded to the city commission for further action.Attorney Calhoun asked if it would go on the next city commission meeting and Mr. Brown stated it will be sometime in April the 24th at the earliest or the May meeting. Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 4 of 9 3. Applicant Name: CITY OF OPA-LOCKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Address: 780 Fisherman Street,4th Floor Opa-locka FL 33054 Request: An Amendment to the City Ordinance 86-8(Land Development Code)concerning certificates of use in all Non-Residential Zoning Districts. Mr. Lee stated to the committee that in the City we offer Occupational Licenses to deal with the actual license and the use that is going to be applied at that site. It has come to our attention that a better way would be to bring about having certificates of use in addition to occupational licenses then we can address zoning issues and other things that have not been specifically addressed or appropriately addressed. Certificates of Use would help us do those things listed there and help us better attend to whatever happens at a property site and then on a yearly basis it wouldn't just be a renewal of an occupational license but it would be a recertifying of what actually occurs because of that license at that site. Someone from the city would go out and examine what they do,determine if they are doing what they need to do or if what they are doing now is allowed in that zone district or not and then if not we can address it on a different level other than just having code enforcement to happen upon them to find out that they are not doing the right thing or go through a process to revoke a license where as we can say the certificate of use is no longer valid and you can no longer operate the business there. Staff recommends that to improve the city to address the need to make sure that the right uses occur in the right zoning districts we move the amendment forward to allow for certificates of use. Mr. Burke said that in essence what is being said now is that not only does an applicant have to obtain an occupational license but in addition they would have to obtain a certificate of use; Mr. Brown answered that was correct.Mr. Burke asked if that would be in the same application or an additional application and would it cost. Mr. Brown stated yes it would be an additional cost and that the occupational license is just a payment of tax; it's not zoning approval and what we've learned through he would say the last two years in the city is that when a person comes in to obtain a license they don't necessarily have zoning approval or the ability to operate under all the laws of the city as a matter of fact,the license itself is just tax payment;most people call it business tax receipt so it's not confused so what we are doing is consistent with what most cities do.We have forms in our office that are used routinely that say certificate of use on them and we do not charge for them other than the necessary inspections from the building and plumbing,electrical trades,they go out and make those inspections but one of the things we are finding out is that when we issue a business license to an entity, it's checked for zoning approval at the onset but every year thereafter renewals are not checked by the zoning office and so the business evolve into something else and so what the certificate of use would do is allow us to go and look at that property not just for zoning but for other issues like clean-up, if they need a permit for a sign,paint the building or get rid of junk vehicles; those are the kinds of things that come up on the certificate of use so it's not something that is requiring somebody to do something. Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 5 of 9 Mr. Brown wanted to bring the attention that there are entities that we don't want anybody to spend money in the city and operate at a location for six years and then be told that they don't have proper zoning so this is a comprehensive way of addressing the issue city wide. Mr. Burke disagreed with the idea of extra fees. Mr. Brown stated that we are trying to accomplish what other cities are doing and based on what they are doing,this is staffs recommendation to ensure field inspections are in place because currently the city only has an honor system. Mr. Barrett said this was a good idea and the guidelines and fees would be set accordingly. Mr. Brown stated that this ordinance is only to give us the authority to do these inspections and to provide for what he calls gap inspections.Right now code enforcement only deal with nuisance violations, or property violations and its all based on us getting a complaint in Community Development. Mr. Burke still disagreed with the staffs request. Mr. Elio Guerrero asked if there was a flat fee for this process. Mr. Brown stated that there was no fee established for this ordinance. This just gives us the authority to do it and the county does it and other counties.This just gives us the authority. Chairman Russell stated that the city has to survive and it's only fair that we put things in place so that the city would be able to function properly and better serve the businesses that come into the community. Chairman Russell opened the floor for or against. Mr.Bill Dissepio a business owner at 2335 NW 149 Street disagreed with the idea of an additional fee. He has been a business resident for 3 and half years and he said code enforcement was doing a good job at monitoring and he opposes the idea. Mark Maritza 2335/2337 NW 149 Street business owner stepped forward to say he was for the idea because they can afford it,it benefits the city overall,and it benefits each individual business to avoid exactly what's being said that a business comes in and they start out doing one thing and the economy changes and it transforms their business into something entirely different it gives them the authority to do that and it protects that individual business and the surrounding businesses. Mr. Willie Hernandez came forward his business is at 2350 NW 149 Street and he is against the item presented.He feels that code enforcement does an outstanding job by coming to the business and writing people up.Perhaps a better job internally could be done rather than taxing the businesses. Chairman Russell asked for public hearing to be closed after there were no others for or against. Chairman Russell asked for a motion on the floor. Mr. Barrett made the motion for ordinance 86-8 to be approved and Chairman Russell second the motion. Upon roll call of the motion, the vote did not pass. 2-2 Alvin Burke - No Steven Barrett - Yes Elio Guerrero - No Mr. Calvin Russell - Yes Mr. Brown stated that the motion fails it's a tie.Attorney Calhoun said the item failed and it would go to the city commission with either no recommendation or recommendation and probably with no recommendation from this board.

Applicant Name: ECOLOGICAL PAPER RECYCLING, INC Property Owner ECOLOGICAL PAPER RECYCLING,LLC Address: 2350-2330 NW 149th Street Opa-locka,Fl 33054 Legal Description: LOT 6,BLOCK 5 OF "OPA-LOCKA INDUSTRIAL PARK' ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF,AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 77,PAGE 73 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY,FLORIDA.TOGETHER WITH; LOTS 4,5,6,&7,BLOCK 1 OF"COHEN-AGER SUBDIVISION"ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF,AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 86,PAGE 73 OF THE P PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI DADE COUNTY,FLORIDA. ZONED I-2 (FOLIOS 08-2122-027-0070; 08-2122-027-0060; 08-2122-025-0391) Request: Site Plan Review to Operate a Paper Recycling Facility Mr. Lee presented a power point presentation regarding Ecological Paper Recycling, Inc zoned in the I-2 district explaining that in the past there have been issues with compliance and since then they have made efforts to correct them and move forward with the request before this committee today. The way for this process to go through is like all the others and that's based on site plan review and this is for site plan review of a warehouse use in the industrial zoning district. Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to compliance to the conditions listed in your report. Chairman Russell asked if the zoning was correct. Mr. Lee stated yes and based on the allowance code presently is for single stream of use and they can only operate solely for cardboard and paper recycling. Based on the code the Director can speak to that action himself but as understood based on what our code allows his interpretation allows him to say that the use that's available to them is the one that he indicated previously and unless text is added to code to add additional usage they will not be able to do everything they've envisioned and they are willing to do everything that's necessary to address those expanded uses but what's allowed in our code at present is solely for them to do paper and cardboard recycling. Mr. Brown stated that they have complied with the requests and they want to do other things like plastics, aluminum and some other things similar to what two years ago this board looked at Waste Pro who was standing behind the ordinances to do to bring in these kinds of recyclables. That goes above the scope of what they are trying to do here as far as run a paper recycling company with cardboard and anything past that our office couldn't support it and we definitely recommend an approval of their site plan with those conditions.They have hired and retained an architect to design the project and once they go through the motions and articulate parking issues and we are hoping they can resolve those issues and those are resolved through the board of appeals to which we do not have one right now. There is history with this project dating back to June or July 2012. Chairman Russell stated that basically it's only sufficient for partial of what they want to do so if this board approves it then that means we have had previous times when people just do further than what we approve to be done because they already want to do more. Mr. Brown stated that this application what Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 7 of 9 ww .-- was noticed is for a paper recycling operation and that's what staffs recommendation is for and anything other than that is something that is not noticed tonight.If the applicant is saying he wants to do something other than what was noticed in the paper,we will need another legal notice and he would have to table this item or defer it until the appropriate legal add is put in the paper. Chairman Russell asked to hear from the applicant. Mr. Jose Flores came forward the address is 2350 NW 149 Street and that's our facility. They have been an Opa-locka business owner for 4 years and they have gone through the process of complying with all requirements.They have their occupational licenses and also went to DERM and they have their permit from them authorizing them to do single stream. They want to bring paper, cardboard,PET bottles that are no contaminates,no smell and nothing to harm the environment. They stated that they were the largest employer in Opa-locka. They have complied with all tax obligations and insurances. Mr. Willie Hernandez spoke on behalf of Ecological Paper Recycling, Inc that they have focused on hiring Opa-locka employees and they want to comply with the city and are not looking for short term. They would appreciate the favor from the city.Attorney Calhoun pointed out that the application before the board is for a paper recycling facility.The reason this is raised is because the applicant was advised board members that consistent with code paper recycling is consistent with code and only single stream paper recycling is pointed out as you deliberate.They asked for the conditions and Mr. Brown asked for Mr. Lee to read the conditions to them for the record.The conditions were read in stating the following: Only paper or paper products recycling per the city zoning code shall be allowed, unity of title shall be required to combine all three lots of record, a landscaping and parking variance shall be required,and that be in compliance with all city,county, state and federal regulations.There are concerns the city attorney gave us concerning these as far as we understand those variances are things that they are going to apply for after this. Mr. Brown stated that should the committee choose the staffs recommendation is to recommend approval of the site plan with those conditions and before this is placed on the city commission's agenda we will have the zoning board of appeals hear the variance request and we can do that before the city commission meeting according to Mr. Geller the city attorney who I spoke with earlier about having an emergency ordinance to enact a zba so we can deal with the other part of the site plan.We have spoken with Mr. Flores and Mr. Hernandez regarding the other items they were alluding to and they are in support of an ordinance we plan on bringing later but right now this is just for paper to legitimize what they have done.They did come forward and they did try to get in compliance. They had a license but it was erroneously issued because they did not go through the process but we are trying to get them in compliance and the only way they can is through this board.Chairman Russell called for a public hearing. Mr. Mark Maritza owner of 2335/2337 NW 149 Street and is totally against the items approval before everything is done.The building is immense and he expects them to do what they have said they would do.The traffic is a problem for my customers and the trucks cause an enormous problem not putting a damper on what they want to accomplish. He wants them to basically comply with the necessary items before the committee as things move forward. He presented a short presentation of the day to day activity before the committee and it will be made available upon request. Mr. Bill Dissepio owner of 2335 NW 149 Street came forward to say he has no objections to the recycling business being there and he is happy to see activity again in that area because it was dead for a while. However,the amount of dust and litter,the ground being so bad that it need repairing,the truck traffic and parking are his only complaints. If they address the issues they should become a good business in that area. Mr. Barrett suggested that Mr.Brown sets up a meeting with the business owners in that area and also discuss Planning Council Minutes 4/2/2013 Page 8 of 9 the roads that need repairing and Mr. Brown consented to do that. Chairman Russell closed the public hearing and Mr. Burke recommended approval of staff's recommendations and Mr.Barrett second the motion with discussion. Attorney Calhoun stated that what supposed to happen is the zoning board of appeals is going to be reconstituted and this item will not be able to go forward to the city commission until the zoning board of appeals is reconstituted,they apply for and are granted the variances and then the site plan can go to the city commission if and when the variances are approved. Chairman Russell called for a roll call. Upon roll call of the motion,the vote did not pass. 4-0 Alvin Burke - Yes Steven Barrett - Yes Elio Guerrero - Yes Mr. Calvin Russell - Yes STAFF UPDATE No Updates. VI ADJOURNMENT .
