The Plat and Street Committee, In reviewing the request to close and vacate SW 14 street between SW 2 Avenue and the Metrorail right-of-way, has considered the public interest requirements found In Chapter 55 of the City Code. The Committee finds that SW 14 Street provides convenient public access to the adjacent properties and parking lots. The closure of this roadway and enlargement of the building site would allow taller structures with Increased square footage, thereby impacting the adjacent residential neighborhood south of SW 15 Road. The general public currently utilizes this road for convenient access to the commercial business and parking areas adjacent to Coral Way. The Solid Waste Department and emergency vehicles utilize this roadway and closing the road would limit public access to commercial properties. Based on these findings, the Plat and Street Committee recommends denial of the vacation and closure of SW 14 Street between SW 2 Avenue and the Metrorall right-of- way. 12. SW 13 Street (Coral Way) is a State. Road. A plat approval letter from the Florida Department of Transportation is required. In addition to the above requirements, you should be aware of the following: 1. State and local laws require the installation of various physical Improvements in the public rights -of -way when property Is platted. These subdivision improvements include paving, drainage, landscaping, sidewalks, etc. In some cases this could represent a substantial investment on your part. 2. The alteration, relocation or Installation of utilities such as storm and sanitary sewers, electric, telephone, water, etc. caused by this plat will be at the property owner's expense. Also, utility easements may be required on the property being platted. 3. A building permit will not be Issued on the property being platted until the final plat Is recorded. Also, the Certificate of Occupancy for any building construction will be Issued only after all the required subdivision improvements have been completed.
