SUBJECT: Sublease of Parking Lot located
under I-95 between SW 6th and
FROM: Roger M. n 7th Streets
Direct
Depart f - ree Parking
Approximately three years ago the City of Miami Parks and Recreation
Department leased the site Under I-95 between the Miami River and SW 7th
Street for development of a park. A grant was received and park construction
has progressed between the Miami River and SW 6th Street. The remaining
block (between SW 6th and 7th Streets) has not been funded and the Parks and
Recreation Department does not have any plans for this area.
Based upon a request from a Brickell area property owner for off -site
parking, the Department is willing to develop this lot into a parking
facility with approximately 90 spaces. The facility would be used for
revenue parking during working hours Monday through Friday. It would be
available at no cost to park patrons in the evening and weekends. To
accomplish this project, which is supported by the Parks and Recreation
Department, a sublease between the City and the Off -Street Parking Department
is required. Therefore, it is requested that this item be scheduled for
discussion by the City Commission Committee of the Whole on July 18, 1983 to
determine if the City is willing to enter into this cooperative venture.
Should the City Commission approve the concept, a formal sublease will be
developed over the summer and the project could be completed in time for the
opening of the new park.
