I.
The purpose of the June 13, 1996 discussion is to hear comments and consider a
i resolution approving, in principle, the City of Miami's joining in a plat with the
adjacent property owners to close and vacate a portion of Marler Avenue in
Coconut Grove and authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary
documents related to the joinder of the City in the plat.
4 BACKGROUND
Marler Avenue between Douglas Road and Plaza Street in South Coconut grove is
an undeveloped public right of way occupied by dense vegetation. In response to
concerns from property owners abutting Marler Avenue regarding unsafe
conditions in the undeveloped right of way, the City Commission adopted
Resolution No. 94-820 authorizing the temporary restriction of vehicular access to
Marler Avenue at its intersection with Douglas Road. A condition of the Resolution
1 requires that the prohibition of vehicular access be instituted until such time as
Marler Avenue is closed and vacated in accordance with the subdivision
regulations contained in Chapter 54.5 of the City code. The abutting property
owners now desire to begin the platting process to close and vacate Marler
Avenue.
In accordance with the subdivision regulations, all property owners abutting the
public right of way proposed for closure and vacation are required to join in. the
plat. Since the City of Miami owns property abutting the north side of Marler
Avenue, the City must join in the plat in order for the process to proceed.
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution approving in principle the city of Miami's joining in a plat with the
adjacent private property owners to close and vacate a portion of Marler Avenue
and authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents related to
the joinder of the City in the plat.
