Subject: Accept - Quick Claim Deed
Purpose of Item:
Requesting Department: Department of
Resilience and Public Works
Sponsored By:
District Impacted: District 5
A Resolution, pursuant to Section 255.22 of Florida Statutes, to vacate, discontinue,
and abandon a portion of the northern side of Northwest 28th Street west of North
Miami Avenue, more particularly described in Exhibit A, containing approximately 500
square feet, more or less; and quit claiming said parcel of land, pursuant to Section
255.22 Florida Statutes, to the successor in interest of the original dedicator, Romart
Corporation, a Florida Corporation, and authorizing and directing the City Manager to
execute a quit claim deed, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, in favor of PRH NW
28, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability company.
Background of Item:
Pursuant to Section 255.22, Florida Statutes a municipality may deliver a quitclaim deed
to an adjoining property owner, or their successor, when land that was conveyed to the
municipality by the adjoining property owner was not used for that specific purpose for
over sixty (60) consecutive months or the proposed use was not identified in a
comprehensive plan or other public facilities plan during the same period.
In this matter, the subject property sought to be reconveyed was initially conveyed to
the City on October 10, 1985 through execution of warranty deed as recorded in Official
Records Book 12708, Page 268 of Miami -Dade County, for the specific purpose of
usage for street and/or sidewalk. The City has not constructed the improvements
contemplated in the Warranty Deed or maintained the conveyed property in a period in
excess of sixty months. The conveyed property is not necessary for road widening
purposes.
The current owner, as successor of the original dedicator, is developing the property
and planning to utilize the conveyed property. The conveyed property is not buildable
by itself and is not a waterfront property. Notwithstanding the platting requirements for
vacation and closure of right of way of Chapter 55 of the City Code, the Florida Statutes
allows the adjoining owner to demand a reconveyance of the unused portion of the
property, which was conveyed by deed, and was not dedicated by plat, to be
reconveyed. The City can issue a quitclaim deed to accomplish the reconveyance in
order to facilitate the re -development, divest the City of un-necessary right of way and
un-useable property.

NORTHERN SIDE OF NORTHWEST 28TH STREET WEST OF NORTH MIAMI
AVENUE, MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT
ATTACHED AND INCORPORATED, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 500 SQUARE
FEET; FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A QUIT CLAIM
DEED, IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY, PURSUANT TO
SECTION 255.22, FLORIDA STATUTES, IN FAVOR OF PRH NW 28, LLC, A
FLORIDA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, THE SUCCESSOR -IN -INTEREST OF THE
ORIGINAL DEDICATOR.
WHEREAS, PRH NW 28, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Owner'), is the owner
of the property located at 33 Northwest 28th Street ("Property") in the City of Miami ("City"); and
WHEREAS, on January 29, 1937, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1682
designating a zoned right-of-way width of seventy feet (70') for Northwest 28 Street from North
Miami Avenue to the west City limits; and
WHEREAS, on October 10, 1985, the Owner's predecessor -in -interest executed a
warranty deed recorded in Book 12708, Page 268 of the Public Records of Miami -Dade County
("Warranty Deed") conveying a portion of the Property alongside Northwest 28th Street
("Conveyed Property") to the City, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A," attached and
incorporated, which was accepted by Resolution No. 86-0009 adopted January 9, 1986 by the
City Commission "for street widening purposes"; and
WHEREAS, on February 13, 1986, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 10077
reducing the zoned right-of-way width of Northwest 28th Street between North Miami Avenue
and Northwest 2nd Avenue from seventy feet (70') to fifty feet (50'); and
WHEREAS, Section 255.22(1), Florida Statutes, provides that for property conveyed to a
municipality or county prior to October 1, 1984, a municipality or county may reconvey such
property to an abutting owner making a demand for the same if such property was conveyed to
the municipality for a specific use, without receipt of valuable consideration, and the municipality
or county failed to use such property for such a purpose for a period of sixty (60) consecutive
months; and
WHEREAS, the City has not used the Conveyed Property for street widening purposes
or maintained the Conveyed Property for a period in excess of sixty (60) consecutive months;
and
WHEREAS, the Conveyed Property is no longer necessary for street widening purposes
as Northwest 28th Street abutting the Property is already dedicated to its full fifty -foot (50') width
required by Section 54-187 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code");
and
WHEREAS, the Owner desires to redevelop the Property and wishes to utilize the
Conveyed Property; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the usual requirement that vacations and closures of rights -
of -way be accomplished by the platting process described in Chapters 54 and 55 of the City
Code, State law, as described above, allows for such a conveyance as the Conveyed Property
was conveyed to the City by deed and not dedicated to the City by plat; and
WHEREAS, to the extent implicated by the Charter of the City of Miami, Florida, as
amended ("City Charter'), the Conveyed Property contains approximately five hundred (500)
square feet, is non -waterfront property, is non -buildable by itself, and is to be conveyed to an
abutting owner, thereby meeting the exceptions found in Section 29-B(f) of the City Charter; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds it in the best interest of the City to authorize the
conveyance of the Conveyed Property to the Owner in order to facilitate redevelopment and
divest the City of unnecessary right-of-way and unusable property;
