SUBJECT : Removal of Vehicular Access
Restriction to N.E. 55 Terrace
at North Bayshore Drive

ENCLOSURES Location Map, Resolution
The purpose of the October 14, 1997 public hearing is to hear comments and
consider a Resolution rescinding Resolution No. 95-731 that authorized the
restriction of vehicular access to N.E. 55 Terrace at its intersection with North
Bayshore Drive.
BACKGROUND
At the October 26, 1995 meeting, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 95-
731 authorizing the restriction of vehicular access to N.E. 55 Terrace at its
intersection with North Bayshore Drive. This action was in response to the
concerns of residents on N.E: 55 Terrace and Morningside Park staff about
loitering, parking in grass swales, dumping of trash and illegal activities occurring
at the easterly end of N.E, 55 Terrace, especially during the hours when
Morningside Park is closed.
Since a portion of the proposed access restriction gates and median is located
within the Morningside Historical Preservation District, a Certificate of
Appropriateness is required for its installation. Based upon the evidence
presented at a public hearing on December 9, 1996, the Historic and Environmental
Preservation Board denied a application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for
installation of the gates and median across N.E. 55 Terrace. The majority of
Morningside residents in attendance applauded the board's denial of this
application.
Additionally, on February 27, 1997, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No.
11460 approving the Morningside Security Guard Special Taxing District. N.E. 55
Terrace at its intersection with North Bayshore Drive is included within this secure,
barricaded district, making a gate at this location no longer necessary.
Since a gate at this intersection is no longer needed or desired by residents, it is
now in order to rescind the authorization for restriction of vehicular access at this
intersection.
