A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A COVENANT AGREEMENT WITH MIAMI -
DADE COUNTY FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 18330 & 18450 NORTHWEST 12TH AVENUE
(THE PROPOSED SENIOR FAMILY CENTER), ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT "A "; PROVIDING
FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Background
The subject property located at 18330 & 18450 NW 12th Avenue was acquired by the City from the
Archdiocese of Miami (Archdiocese) in 2009 with the intent of demolishing the existing structures and
constructing a new Senior Family Center. In order to allow redevelopment of the property, the City
adopted Ordinance No. 2016 -17 -363 on October 12, 2016 to rezone the property from GP- Governmental
Property to PD Planned Development.
Current Situation
According to records from Miami Dade County's Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), on
December 11, 2003, a variance (Board Order 04 -23) was granted by the Environmental Control Board (EQCB) to the
former property owner — the Archdiocese, to allow the City of North Miami Beach to locate a public utility potable
water supply well, referred to as Well No. 21, on the site. Any future development of the site would have to ensure
that potential sources of contamination are located at least 100 feet from the well.
Recently, DERM has determined that the condition No. 1 of the variance which required the Archdiocese to execute
a covenant running with the land in favor of Miami -Dade County was never met and that a covenant was never
recorded by the Archdiocese as required. As the City has since acquired title to the property and is the new owner,
DERM is requiring the City to execute a covenant in conformance with the provisions of Section 24 -43 of the Code
of Miami Dade - County.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council approve the proposed Resolution for a Covenant running with the land in conformance with
the provisions of Section 24 -43 of the Code of Miami Dade - County.

Re: City of North Miami Beach Potable Water Wells on the property located at, near, or in the vicinity of 18330 NW

Dear Mr. Thompson and Mr. Ruiz:
A review of records from the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, Division of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) revealed that a variance (Board Order 04 -23, copy enclosed) was granted by the Environmental
Quality Control Board (EQCB) on December 11, 2003 to John C. Favalora as the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of
Miami (property owner at the time) for the subject site. The variance allowed for the siting of a public utility potable
water supply well (No. 21) that would serve the City of North Miami Beach. The well would be located within 100 feet
or less of one or more potential sources of contamination.
DERM inspections have verified that potable well No. 21 was constructed and placed into use. The review of
Department records found that the conditions set forth in the variance had not been completely satisfied. Specifically,
Condition No. 1 of EQCB Order No. 04 -23 required the Petitioner (at the time, the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of
Miami on behalf of the City of North Miami Beach) to submit to DERM a properly executed covenant running with the
land in favor of Miami -Dade County in conformance with the provisions of Section 24 -43 (formerly Section 24- 12.1(5))
Chapter 24, Code of Miami -Dade County (the Code). On or around August 7, 2009, the City of Miami Gardens acquired
title to the property. The above finding constitutes a violation of Chapter 24. As the current property owner, the City of
Miami Gardens has joint and several liability per Chapter 24 -31(6) of the Code.
In view of the above, DERM recommends implementation of the following action by the City:
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this NOTICF,, submit proof to DERM that the required properly executed
covenant running with the land in favor of Miami -Dade County, in conformance with the provisions of Section
24 -43 of the Code, has been recorded for the property referenced above (folio no. 34- 2102- 000 - 0040).
If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact the undersigned at 305- 372 -6617 or via email at
LizarE2miamidade.gov.

HARVEY RUVIN► CLERK OF COURT
MIAKI -DADE COUNTYP FLORIDA
BEFORE TM MIAMI-DAM COUNTY
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL BOARD
FIN
John C. Favalom as Archbishop of the
Archdiocese of Miami
Board Order No. 04-23
THIS MATTER came before the Board as a request by Petitioner, John C. Favalora as
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Miami, for a variance from the requirements of Section 24-
12.1(2) of the Code of Miami -Dade County, Florida The request is to allow the siting of a
public utility potable water supply well that would serve the City of North Miami Beach The
proposed well would be located within 100 feet or less of one or more potential sources of
contamination. The subject property is located at 18330 N.V. 12's Avenue, Miami ,jade
County, Florida and is more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
Section 24- 12(2)(V)(18) of the Code requires that the minimum separation between a well or
wells and possible sources of contamination shall be a function of the drawdown and - radius of
influence of the well or wells. It shall be the responsibility of the design engineer to present data
showing the radius of influence and drawdown together with a sanitary survey of the area
influenced by the well. Such a survey shall extend one -half (1f2) mile beyond the radius of
influence of the wellfield. In the cases involving multiple wells, the interference among wells
shall be determined. It shall be the design engineer's responsibility to show that the top thirty
(30) feet of the aquifer is not tapped by the well(s). In no case shall the well be located less than
one hundred (100) horizontal feet from any source of contamination. However, the Department
of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) shall have the power to require additional
spacing when conditions justify.
The Board finds that the proposed water supply well would be located within one hundred (100)
feet of potential sources of contamination, namely the stormwater drainage canal for the
Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike. The Board also finds that the City of North
Miami Beach (the City) would incorporate the approach and design features in order to address
the multiple and conflicting demands inherent in the urban location of the subject property. In
particular, the Board finds that the modeling results indicate that at a design flow fate of 2,360
EQ- 11271200411:28:17 AM Page 1
December 11, 2003 (14)
gallons per minute (GPM), or approximately 3.4 million gallons per day (MGD), the travel time
between the subject well and the drainage canal ranges from 17 to 30 days. This translates into a
water table drawdown of 0.1 feet to 0.3 feet at distances ranging from 60 to 30 feet respectively
from the aforesaid well. In addition, the City proposes to double case this well. The surface
casing will extend to a depth of 45 feet below the land surface, and will be set with a minimum
2 -inch annular cement grout. The production well casing will extend to a depth between 75 and
85 feet below the land surface, and will be set with a minimum flinch annular cement grout.
The Board finds that the subject drainage canal extends between 7 feet and 15 feet below the
land surface. The Board also finds that, according to the lithologic logs submitted with the
petition, the top 40 feet of the aquifer at this location consists of various sand layers, followed by
approximately 15 feet of .limestone, and 25 feet of additional sand and sandstone layers.
Therefore, the Board finds that adequate natural filtration and attenuation are provided between
the land surface and the subject well's production zone by the lithology of the area, in which the
subject well is located. The Board further finds that the surface casing incorporated into the
design for the subject well will provide additional protection.
The Board finds that the proposed location for the subject well best accommodates the growth in
demand for water, the scarcity of pristine, undeveloped land relatively close to the existing water
treatment plants, and the need to balance the water supply needs of ecological systems with those
of urban populations.
Finally, the Board finds that, based upon the evidence and testimony presented and the foregoing
findings, granting the Petitioner's requested variance from the above noted Code requirements
will not be detrimental to the public health, welfare and safety, will not create a nuisance, and
will not materially increase the level of pollution in this County.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that, based upon the evidence and testimony presented and the
foregoing findings, Petitioner's request for a variance from the requirements of Section 24-
12.1(2) of the Code be and the same is hereby granted, subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to the issuance of any permits or approvals for the construction of the subject well,
Petitioner shall submit to DERM a properly executed covenant running with the land in
favor of Miami -Dade County in conformance with the provisions of Section 24- 12.1(5)
of the Code.
2. The well shall have double -cased construction. The surface casing shall extend to a
depth of approximately forty -five (45) feet below the land surface and shall be set with a
minimum two (2) inch annular cement grout, and the production well casing shall extend
to a depth of approximately seventy -five (75) to eighty (80) feet below the land surface
and shall be set with a minimum four (4) inch annular cement grout.
3. The City of North Miami Beach shall formulate a narrative contingency plan providing
for the shutdown of well No. 21 in the event of an accidental spill of hazardous materials
EQ- 1I27l200411:28:17 AM Page 2
Dwtmber 11, 2003 (14)
adjacent to the aforesaid well. Said plan shall be submitted by the City's water utility
officials under the City's letterhead and shall provide for keeping the subject well out of
service until spill cleanup and contamination assessment show that resumed operation is
appropriate. The City shall obtain DERM approval of said plan prior to placing well No.
21 in service.
