Donald W. Cather ENCLOSURES (For Commission Meeting
Director of Public Works of September 7, 1983)
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS RECOMMENDS
THE ADOPTION OF THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION
POSTPONING THE PLATTING OF "VIRGINIA KEY -
TRACT A" PENDING A PERFECTED OPINION OF
TITLE; AND DIRECTING AND EMPOWERING THE
CITY MANAGER TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUING OF
A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF
HORATIO' S RESTALP-PUNT.
The Department of Public Works has been pursuing the platting of the
westerly portion of Virginia Key to allow for building permits to
be issued on two leased sites, according to the City Code. Due to
faults in the abstract for this City property, the Department of Law
cannot perfect an Opinion of Title so that the proposed plat can be
properly recorded.
The time required to achieve a recorded plat would cause an unreasonable
delay to lessees of City property seeking permits to up -grade their
facilities, or begin construction of new facilities. This, in turn
would reduce revenue to the City from these leases.
The action proposed in the attached resolution would allow the
Departments of Public Works and Law to perfect the plat and the Opinion
of'Title without affecting the income to the City from these leases.
