It is recommended that the City Manager direct
the Building Department to issue a Special
Building Permit for the construction of the
new CITY OF MIAMI/UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI/JAMES L.
KNIGHT INTERNATIONAL CENTER (MIAMI CENTER)
subject to the filing of a record plat in the
Public Records of Dade County per the attached
resolution.
The City of Miami has acquired a large tract of land at the foot of
the S.E. 2nd Avenue Bridge and the Miami River for the purpose of
constructing a Convention Center in the heart of downtown Miami.
Part of the funding for this project has been a Public Works Grant
from the Federal Government in the amount of $4.4 t million.
The proposed site calls for closing some streets dedicated to the
public by plat. In order to accomplish this, a replat of the prop—
erty is required by State Law and the Code of the City of Miami.
Those streets involved have been closed by Resolution No. 43091,
subject to the filing of a record plat.
Biscayne Engineering Co. has been authorized to prepare the record
plat. A part of the property to be platted is presently owned by
the State of Florida. The Department of Public Works is now
negotiating with the State as to what procedure is to be followed
to acquire this property. City of Miaml Ordinance #8694 requires
the filing of a record plat in the Public Records of Dade County
before a building permit can be issued for any construction on the
site.
Since it appears unlikely that some of these problems will not be
resolved before a contract is awarded, the Department of public
Workrecommends that the proper officials of the City of Miami
instruct the City Manager to direct the Building Department to issue
a special permit for the construction of the Convention Center so as
not to lose the Federal Grant as part of the funding of this project.
