TO: Randolph Rosencrantz
City Manager
City of Miami
FROM: Roger M. Carlton _
Director !
Department of Off -Street Parking-
DATE: February 19, 1985
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO LEASE CITY OWNED
PARCEL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT
BACKGROUND
The Department of Off -Street Parking in its 1984-1990 Capital Improvement
Program submission to the Planning Department on May 18, 1984 included as one
of the projects development of a municipal parking lot at the southeast corner
of Southwest 27th Avenue and South Dixie Highway on a city owned parcel. The
parcel is a small, irregular triangular shape and is bordered by Southwest
27th Avenue, South Dixie Highway, Southwest 27th Lane and Southwest 26th
Avenue. The Director of the Public Works Department has expressed a desire to
close Southwest 27th Lane where Southwest 27th Avenue intersects with South
Dixie Highway since Southwest 27th Lane creates a hazardous intersection. The
parking lot driveways would serve as access to the contiguous properties in a
similar to fashion to the driveways in Chopin Plaza (Municipal Lot No. 20).
RECOMMENDATION
The Off -Street Parking Board requests that the City Commission conceptually
approve leasing the parcel to the Department of Off -Street Parking. The
Department would close the intersection of 27th Lane at 27th Avenue as the
Director of Public ;forks recommended and develop an attractive, landscaped
municipal parking lot with approximately 30 spaces. The Department would
share net revenues with the City after recovering the estimated $60,000
construction costs. The Department would also install a "Welcome to the City
of Miami" sign similar in size and quality to the recently installed sign
located at the north end of Municipal Lot No. 19 in Biscayne Boulevard which
now welcomes motorists to Downtown Miami.
Should the "Committee of the ;thole" approve this lease conceptually,
negotiations will begin as soon as possible for the final document. Please
schedule this item for discussion at the next regular agenda.
