I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

mikyoung kim design
The Jetty and Cutwalk located at the northern tip of the Village of Bal Harbour is
a well-used but unrealized amenity for the residents and visitors of Bal Harbour.
The earliest inception of the southern jetty was constructed in 1927 by the Army
Corps of Engineers as a utilitarian breakwater and mitigation tool to protect the
Haulover Inlet. Subsequent reconstruction projects changed the alignment
and shape to the current configuration as a steel sheet pile jetty reinforced by
granite rubble. The last major repair and revetment of the jetty was in 1986.
It’s current day use as a popular destination and provides a unique vantage
point to walk to the jetty terminus and view the ocean and the beachline of Bal
Harbour.
The project scope is to develop a public space design that re-envisions the
aesthetic and programmatic uses of the Jetty, Cutwalk and beach parking as
part of a holistic vision for the public realm spaces in Bal Harbour. This project
examines the public uses of the spaces, functional and technical requirements
for improvements, public and resident comments and opinions, and permitting
and construction feasibility of developing a cohesive waterfront destination.
Project objectives:
• Engagement with Water – develop and reinforce the visitor’s connection

with the water both visually and physically.
• Creating Places for Visitors and Residents – allow residents that visit the
site daily and visitors that may only visit once to have equally powerful
experiences.
• Establishing an Identity for Public Space – create a place that is unique and
celebrates the natural and raw beauty of the site.
• Balancing Functional Performance with Placemaking – develop strategies

and design solutions that fit the challenges of the site.
Community Engagement and Comments:
The design team solicited the community and stakeholders for comments
through a series of planned outreach opportunities. Formal community
meetings involved three meetings; 1) community presentation where we
introduced the project and initial concept ideas and surveyed the attendees for
there preferences, 2) community workshop where we developed two conceptual
options and solicited feedback and 3) a community design presentation and
open house where the community saw the evolved design and was able to
interact with design members.
The team’s engagement efforts also included meetings with key stakeholders
including various city departments, the Village Council, representatives from the
Bal Harbour Shops, the Ritz-Carlton, One Bal Harbour, as well as key members
of the community. Working sessions allowed stakeholders to bring up their
goals and visions, concerns and opinions about the project proposals.
The general consensus of issues and concerns from the community and
stakeholder events were addressed in the proposed design iteration.

Bal Harbour Jetty
The main issues that were collected from the community were:
• Refined and elegant designs represent the community
• Improvements in safety and universal accessibility
• Design should feature the natural elements and engage the beauty of the
site
• Providing shade is essential for public spaces
• Passive and quiet areas are important program elements
These comments allowed the design team to refine the proposal and achieve
a general consensus in the final design iteration. This work will continue with
stakeholders throughout the design process as the plans are developed into
construction documents.
Schematic Design
The key elements of the developed design:
• Along the cutwalk, a series of platforms that extend past the seawall to bring
visitors closer to the water and allowing visitors to view marine activities in
the Haulover Cut as well as sealife in the water. These platforms connect
people physically and emotionally to the ocean through a complete sensory
experience.
• The placement and design of the platforms and cutwalk extensions

minimizes the impacts on existing coral and wildlife while the use of artificial
reef technology will help increase marine habitat and provide resiliency
along the seawall.
• A series of site elements are incorporated into the design to allow for visitor
comfort and safety. Railings and walls are designed along the entire jetty
and cutwalk permit visitors to safely navigate the public spaces along the
water’s edge. A shade canopy and shade trees along with new seating
elements and places to gather along the cutwalk and jetty allow for passive
recreation and respite.
• To allow for increased resiliency and safety, the current jetty walkway will
be capped with precast concrete slabs to raise the jetty walkway elevation
culminating with a lookout promontory. Along the inside of the jetty, large
steps will bring people down to the water. To achieve compliance with
navigational requirements, a light beacon placed at the terminus of the jetty
is designed as an iconic element that can be seen from land and on the
water.
• At the beach parking under the Herman Fultz Bridge, part of the parking
area is proposed to become a garden space that acts as a gateway to the
cutwalk. Pedestrian and cyclist amenities such as seating elements and
bike racks are integrated into the design.
Project considerations and challenges
Seawall Condition—There has been minimal information uncovered regarding

the construction and detailing of the original seawall along the cutwalk. Until
the ability to do destructive investigation on the wall and tieback system, the
team can only speculate on the condition of the wall through surficial means.
The reconstruction of the wall was not considered as part of the scope of this
project.
3
mikyoung kim design
Permitting – Initial steps in permitting has been taken with the Army Corps of
Engineers. It is difficult to predict how the permitting will affect the end design
due to the unique conditions of the project. The team anticipates that this
project will require special review considerations by jurisdictional departments.
Cost – No cost estimates were provided in the design team scope. It is

anticipated that the project will go through a series of costing exercises that
may result in modification to the overall project. However, the design of the
project has the ability to scale and phase the project as needed to fit the future
established budget up to 7.5 million dollars.
Easement rights – As part of the development of the project the Village of Bal
Harbour must evaluate the need to enter into agreements with adjacent property
owners of the Herman B. Fultz parking area, the cutwalk and the jetty to pursue
work along the easement and right-of-way. The legal review of the project may
impact the scope of work that is able to be carried out.
This document provides a developable design that incorporates the project

objectives, community and stakeholder involvement and consultant’s expertise
to bring a much-needed update to the Jetty and Cutwalk. We believe that the
schematic design presented will result in a safe, resilient, program-enriched
development that will resonate with the residents and visitors of Bal Harbour.

A. PROJECT SCOPE
The Jetty and Cutwalk located at the northern tip of the Village of Bal Harbour is
a well-used but unrealized amenity for the residents and visitors of Bal Harbour.
The earliest inception of the southern jetty was constructed in 1927 by the Army
Corps of Engineers as a utilitarian breakwater and mitigation tool to protect the
Haulover Inlet. Subsequent reconstruction projects changed the alignment
and shape to the current configuration as a steel sheet pile jetty reinforced by
granite rubble. The last major repair and revetment of the jetty was in 1986.
It’s current day use as a popular destination and provides a unique vantage
point to walk to the jetty terminus and view the ocean and the beachline of Bal
Harbour.
In the Summer of 2019, Bal Harbour Village secured the Design Services of
Mikyoung Kim Design in developing a plan to enhance the current jetty and
cutwalk and provide a new vision for how to utilize this public resource. The
project scope is focused on the development of the public realm to address
the aesthetic and programmatic uses of the Jetty, Cutwalk and Beach Parking
as part of a holistic vision for the public space network in Bal Harbour. During
the Schematic Design phase, the design team examined the programing and
design of the spaces, functional and technical requirements for improvements,
public and resident comments and opinions, and permitting and construction
feasibility of developing a cohesive waterfront destination.

Project Objectives
From the initial meeting and discussions with the client, the design team
developed identified the project objectives. These objective articulate important
issues that will make the Jetty Project a success.
• Engagement with Water – develop and reinforce the visitor’s connection

with the water both visually and physically.
• Creating Places for Visitors and Residents – allow residents that visit the
site daily and visitors that may only visit once to have equally powerful
experiences.
• Establishing an Identity for Public Space – create a place that is unique and
celebrates the natural and raw beauty of the site.
• Balancing Functional Performance with Placemaking – develop strategies

and design solutions that fit the challenges of the site.
Following the development of these initial objective, additional aspirations for

the project were added as the design evolved and the site analysis revealed
important goals.
• Improving Site Sustainability and Resiliency – understanding the shifts in

sea level and frequency of storm surges and nuisance tides that top the
existing jetty, the project will be designed in a way that makes the jetty more
resilient. Additionally, the design can improve the conditions for ecological
biodiversity in the area.

2. SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site jetty is a steel sheetpile jetty with granite riprap

bracing. The granite has been grouted together and capped
with a concrete walkway. A navigational light beacon sits
at the end of the jetty as well as a trash receptacle. The
elevation of the top of the jetty is at approx. 6.00 (NAVD 88)
and rises as it meets the beach and the seawall.
The seawall and cutwalk runs parallel to the Baker's

Haulover navigational channel. The seawall is a concrete
wall with a cap and assumed encased sheetpile. The height
of the seawall varies. The cutwalk is made up of precast
interlocking concrete pavers.

2. SAFETY AND RESILIENCY
Safety and resiliency were important factors in designing the Bal Harbour
Jetty. Guardrails and monolithic concrete walls secure every platform
and along the Jetty, facilitating safe encounter with water. To enhance the
waterfront experience and bring people to the ocean side of the seawall,
openings along the seawall were kept to a minimum and can be secured with
flood gates. Alterations to the seawall were designed to maintain the same
level of protection or better than the current condition for better resiliency. In
extreme weather conditions, proposed control gate and flood gate ensure
controlled access to the platforms and jetty promontory. The Jetty elevation
was also raised higher than the existing condition to allow the Jetty to be
more effective against higher wave and tide actions.

4. MARINE DIVERSITY
A lively ecosystem at Bal Harbour Jetty thrives on its benthic

community. Numerous coral colonies were observed growing
on the rip rap, providing significant marine habitats (see
Appendix for full Benthic Resource Summary Report). The
platforms at Cutwalk and Jetty are located and detailed to
have as little interference as possible with the coral habitat.
As part of the improvements to the area, the project also
promotes and enhances marine habitat by providing artificial
reef and surface technology

1. WATERFRONT
The cutwalk improvement embraces the lively marine habitat

and creates a closer and safe encounter with water. Periodic
openings through the existing seawall lead people to various
platforms such as wood lookout platform, grated platform,
habitat viewing catwalk and ocean viewing windows. The
waterfront experience is further enhanced by specialty site
furnishings. Custom chairs and wood reclining benches
make ocean view more accessible.

The raised jetty promontory promotes resiliency and provides a destination for
Jetty. An amphitheater with elements of wood creates an “Ocean Room” at the
end of the promontory. Along the inside of the Jetty large stair slabs step-down
to the water allowing another experience for users.
A louvered shade canopy along the southern edge of the jetty walk allows for
comfortable seating opportunities. “BAL HARBOUR” lettering on the top of the
canopy allows for Bal Harbor to be recognized from a birds-eye view.
The light beacon aims to be an iconic feature at the jetty promontory terminus.
It encompasses metal spiral staircases with colored cable wire mesh and a
navigational strobe beacon. RGB LED lighting, integrated into the spires, can be
both wildlife friendly and utilized for special events.

1. BENTHIC REPORT
A benthic survey was conducted by The Chappell Group for

the site. The survey reports the identification of 5 types of
corals found along the riprap edge of the jetty. See Appendix
for the full benthic report.

2. STRUCTURAL
MU Structural Engineers conducted a visual inspection

and assessment of the existing seawall. Due to the limited
information on the structure of the wall the structural
engineer believes repairs or replacement is needed for the
seawall. Until the ability to do destructive investigation on
the wall and tieback system, the team can only speculate
on the condition of the wall through surficial means. The
reconstruction of the wall was not considered as part of
the scope of this project. See full structural report in the
Appendix.

Bal Harbour Jetty
3. CIVIL REPORT
The pervious/impervious ratios will not be increased and

therefore will not adversely affect the existing drainage
design. There will be no increase in water quality volume
required and no increased run off volume to the existing
drainage system.
The cutwalk will be re-graded to maintain existing elevations

and available storage volume. Surface water run off will be
maintained to the existing storm drainage inlets located along
the cutwalk, if planter drains are required/desired yard drains
can be added and connected by piping to the existing storm
drainage structures. Surface water licenses (Department
of Environmental Resources – DERM) can be modified as
applicable.

Bal Harbour Jetty
I. Introduction
The proposed project site is a cutwalk and jetty located along the Haulover Inlet
and on A1A/Collins Avenue in the Village of Bal Harbour, Miami-Dade County,
Florida (Figure 1). The project site is located along the Haulover Inlet and the
Atlantic Ocean.
These waters are tidal waters with a direct connection to the Atlantic Ocean. As
the project site is located along the Haulover Inlet, the incoming tidal waters
(flood) at the site move to the west while the outgoing waters move to the east
(ebb).
The project site contains an existing seawall, rip rap jetty and cutwalk. The
proposed project is the improvement of the existing seawall, jetty and cutwalk. As
such, due to environmental permitting regulations related to the modification of
docking facilities, the investigation of the presence and location of benthic
resources within the submerged bottoms is warranted.
II. Purpose
The purpose of this benthic resource study is to identify and locate any seagrass
species (Halophila decipiens, Halophila johnsonii, Thalassia testudinum,
Halodule wrightii, Ruppia maritima, etc.) or other benthic resources that may be
present within the property boundaries of the subject site. Environmental
regulatory agencies require representative data to be acquired from any site that
has potential seagrass habitat.
III. Method
The field work for the benthic resource survey was conducted on September 17,
2019 and September 18, 2019 by four (4) qualified biologists from The Chappell
Group, Inc. This work was performed at high tide (incoming). Line transects were
conducted parallel to the existing seawall, cutwalk and jetty within the proposed
project footprint. The survey area was approximately ±1,433’ adjacent to the
existing shoreline and extended ±60’ waterward of the existing shoreline in the
north and extended ±40’ waterward of the existing shoreline in the south,
respectively. Each diver conducted three (3) line transects parallel to the length
of the property within the Haulover Inlet and adjacent to the Bal Harbour Beach
jetty to ensure complete coverage of the survey area (Figure 2). The biologists
traversed each line along the bottom of the inlet to determine the presence of any
seagrass species and/or other submerged benthic resources. In addition to the
line transects, each diver conducted a meandering transect to ensure complete

visual coverage and that no additional benthic resources were present adjacent
to the subject site. Due to visibility (<20’), spacing between transects was limited
to 20’ to ensure complete coverage of the survey area.
IV. Findings
The benthic community of the subject site consisted of sand, crushed shell and
rip rap (Appendix A). Depths within the survey area varied from 5’-20’ with depths
increasing with distance towards the center of the inlet. No species of seagrass
were observed. Resources observed within the survey area included numerous
coral growing on the rip rap, including at least three (3) mustard hill coral colonies
(Porites astreoides, >10cm), 139 colonies of white encrusting zoanthid (Palythoa
caribaeorum, >10cm), 224 lesser starlet coral colonies (Siderastrea radians, <1
cm – 30 cm), ten (10) common brain coral (Faviidae spp., 20 cm – 30 cm) and
one (1) smooth star coral (Solenastrea bournoni, >10cm) as shown in Table 1. A
total of 205 riprap boulders were documented to contain 90% coverage of coral
species, predominately the white encrusting zoanthid P. caribaeorum. Coral
colonies were observed on rip rap throughout the survey area, beginning at the
mean low water line approximately 8’ waterward of the cutwalk. Field work was
limited to two (2) days due to budget and time constraints for the schematic
design phase; therefore, a more detailed assessment of corals may be
documented by TCG and agencies during the future permitting process.

Fish species observed within the survey area included foureye butterflyfish
(Chaetodon capistratus), sergeant major (Abudefduf saxatilis), Atlantic tarpon
(Megalops atlanticus), rainbow parrotfish (Scarus guacamaia), lionfish (Pterois
volitans), sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus), mangrove snapper
(Lutjanus griseus) and checkered puffer (Sphoeroides testudineus). A complete
listing of species observed is included in Table 2 below:

V. Conclusions
As seagrass and coral are protected natural resources, potential impacts to

resources will need to be eliminated and/or minimized to the greatest extent
possible. Due to the location of corals within the project survey area,
modifications to the project may be necessary. Permit issuance may entail a
similar investigation by the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental
Resource Management (DERM), the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).

1. SCOPE
Mikyoung Kim Design commissioned MUEngineers, Inc. to perform a limited structural assessment of the
existing seawall east of federal highway and south of the Bakers Haulover Inlet based on review of available
construction documents and non-destructive site observation.
The purpose of this excersise was to gather information about the existing seawall conditions that would
enable us to render an opinion concerning its overall structural integrity. Neither the inspection, nor this
report, is intended to cover hidden defects, mechanical or electrical features
2. 1. LIMITATIONS:
MUEngineers did not use any special tools or instruments, nor did we perform any destructive testing but
performed visual observations of readily accessible seawall sections only.
Structural elements and their connections which were not indicated on the record set of drawings
and which could not be visually observed without destructive testing have not been reviewed, cannot be
commented on and are excluded from this report. It shall further be noted that our field observations
represent only a small sample of the complete structure. This report, our findings and evaluations are based
on these sample observations.

4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING SEAWALL COMPONENTS:
Based on our review of the available record documents and field observations it appears that the
existing seawall / bulk head consists of metal sheet piles, concrete wall panels and a poured in placed
concrete parapet wall and cap. The record documents do not indicate the structural specifications
and properties or the existing seawall components such as sheet pile type and depth, anchor rod size
Page 4 of 7
107
mikyoung kim design
and spacing, soil anchor type, size and layout, concrete strengths and reinforcing of any existing
concrete components.
5. STRUCTURAL COMPONENT REVIEW AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
ͷǤͳǤ
ͷǤͳǤͳǤ
Inspection of the seawall revealed continuous cracks and gaps along the joint/interface between the
concrete cap and parapet. The interior face of the concrete parapet and cap along the walkway has
been previously painted and likely repaired and patched, therefore no cracks were observed at the
time of our inspection. Blistered paint and water stains were observed at several scattered locations.
ͷǤͳǤʹǤ
The concrete wall panels exhibit continuous cracks running throughout the front face of the seawall.
Additionally, spalling, delaminated concrete, and exposed and corroded sections of metal sheet piles
were observed at several locations.
ͷǤͳǤ͵Ǥ ǡǦ
It is likely that there are existing tie-back rods and anchors installed to stabilize the top of the existing
sheet pile but these seawall components (if existing) could not be observed and assessed since they
are covered by the existing paved walkway finish.
ͷǤͳǤͶǤ
Zurwelle – Whittaker Inc in 1957, suggests that the existing seawall consists of metal sheet piles; The
type, depth, profile and tie-back conditions are not indicated on any of the available record
documents and cannot be commented on without further destructive testing and exposing the back
/ landside face of the existing seawall.
ͷǤʹǤ ǣ
It is our recommendation to expose the landside face of the seawall to an elevation of not less than
the mean low water elevation, locate and identify all the tie-back anchor rods and soil anchors and
further assess the structural condition and the expected remaining service life of those seawall
components. We further recommend having the seawall section below the mean low water line
inspected and photo and video documented along its complete length by commercial divers.
Page 5 of 7
108
Bal Harbour Jetty
Depending on the results of these further investigations it will then be possible to assess the existing
conditions more accurately and determine and advise if it is feasible to repair the existing seawall
including all cracked, spalled and delaminated concrete sections or if the existing seawall should be
partially or completely replaced instead with a new metal sheet pile seawall immediately south /
landside along the existing seawall.
6. SUMMARY
Based on our limited evaluation of the structure based on the construction documents provided, it is our
professional opinion that the existing seawall is most likely reaching its expected service life. Further
destructive testing will be required to determine if it is feasible to repair the existing seawall or otherwise to
partially or completely replace the existing seawall with a new sheet pile wall, reinforced concrete wall panel
and reinforced concrete parapet wall and cap.
7. LIMITATIONS AND SUFFICIENCY
This report is based primarily on the information available from the available construction record documents.
Structural elements and their connections which were not indicated on the available record documents and
could not be readily observed cannot be commented on and will require further investigations.
Nothing in this report shall be construed directly or indirectly as a guarantee or warrantee of any portion of
the structure.
Please note that our opinions and recommendations are based upon our professional engineering judgment
to an extent normal for a structural assessment of this type. Our evaluation was analytical in nature.
This report is prepared for the sole benefit of Mikyoung Kim Design only. Unauthorized use of the information
contained in this report without our permission shall result in no liability or legal exposure to MUEngineers,
