It is understood that this request for the partial street closure is associated with your client's development at 101 S.W. 13th Street, Brickell First Condominium. While we accept the proposed improvements to Southside Park as stated in your letter, please be advised that the Department of Parks and Recreation does not have the authority to accept said contribution in exchange for permission to close the portion of S.W. 1st Court as requested. As you are fully aware, this remains the sole province of the City Commission with recommendation from the Planning Department. The proposed improvements to Southside Park are to our satisfaction should the City Commission accept the request for the street closure. We wish you good luck at the Commission and look forward to working with your client on this matter, should your request be approved.
