W. 27 Avenue and Tigertail Avenue. BACKGROUND Cornelia Drive between S. W. 27 Avenue and Tigertail Avenue in Coconut Grove is a poorly developed public right of way with a substandard pavement width in poor condition. Very little vehicular and pedestrian traffic utilize this roadway where the adjacent properties are either undeveloped or consists of abandoned structures. The Ritz -Carlton Hotel is currently under design for the entire block of land east of Cornelia Drive. In order to construct the new hotel, the owners of the Ritz Carlton have joined with the owners of the Coconut Grove Bank to replat and close Cornelia Drive. Since the replatting process will take several months to complete, these property owners are very concerned about security, public safety and illegal dumping on Cornelia Drive and the vacant land adjacent to the roadway, and have requested that access to Cornelia Drive be temporarily restricted until completion of the platting process. it is respectfully recommended that the restriction to vehicular access be implemented on a temporary basis until such time that the right of way is closed and vacated in accordance with the City Code or until such time that the Director of the Public Works Department makes a finding that Cornelia Drive should be reopened to vehicular access. fig- 150 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA TO : SEE BELOW FROM :� James J.
