Miami Court at N.W.14 Street and N.W. 15 Street REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: The purpose of the September 28, 1998 public hearing is to hear comments and consider a Resolution authorizing the restriction of vehicular access to N.W. Miami Court at its intersection with N.W. 14 Street and N.W. 15 Street. BACKGROUND N.W. Miami Court between N.W. 14 Street and N.W. 15 Street is a poorly developed public right of way with a substandard pavement width in poor condition. very little vehicular and pedestrian traffic utilizes this roadway where the- adjacent properties are either undeveloped or consist of closed warehouses. A movie production studio by Big Time Productions is currently under design for the entire block of land on both sides of N.W. Miami Court between N.W. 14 Street and N.W. 15 Street. in order to construct the new studio, the owners have tentative approval to replat and close N.W. Miami Court. Since the replatting process will take several months to complete, these property owners are very concerned about security, public safety and illegal dumping on N.W. Miami Court and the vacant land adjacent to the roadway, and have requested that access to N. W. Miami Court 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 N.W. Miami Court should be reopened to vehicular access. DHW:R :J K:mm c: James J. Kay, Director, Public Works Department N W M i a m i Co u rtR estr i ct. d o c 9 912 TO Walter J.
