FACTS It is our understanding that the One Plaza Corp. is replatting the Property and such replatted Property will be known as "One Plaza". In addition, we have been advised that an Application for an Official Vacation and Closure of a Public Right -of -Way has been filed by the MIADOCS 867231 3 2 Owner with the Hearing Board's Office of the City of Miami with respect to a portion of SW 18th Road containing approximately 0.254 acres and a portion of SW 2" Terrace containing approximately 0.034 acres (collectively the "Proposed Vacated Property"). The portion of the Proposed Vacated Property which is currently a portion of SW 18th Road is surrounded by Parcels 1 and 2 on the northeast side and Parcels 5, 6, & 7 on the southeast side (all of which Parcels are owned by One Plaza Corp.). The portion of the Proposed Vacated Property which is currently a portion of SW 2" Avenue is surrounded by Parcels 5, 8 on the east side and by Parcel 9 on the west side (all of which Parcels are owned by One Plaza Corp.). We further understand that all documents in conjunction with the Application have been properly filed with said Department. It is our further understanding that the City of Miami has requested an Opinion as to the ultimate ownership of the portions of said Proposed Vacated Property as shown on the tentative plat upon being vacated as a result of such Application for Closure and Vacation of Public Right - of -Way and replotting of the Property (the "Proposed Closed Rights of Way"). DISCUSSION II. The legal description of the Proposed Vacated Property consists of the property described below: THAT PORTION OF SW 18th ROAD LYING NORTHWESTERLY OF THE NW RIGHT OF WAY LINE OF SW lst AVENUE AS SHOWN ON THE PLAT OF HOLLEMAN PARK ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 8 PAGE 23 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI DADE COUNTY FLORIDA; AND LYING EASTERLY OF THE EAST RIGHT OF WAY LINE OF INTERSTATE ## 95 AS SHOWN ON THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHT OF WAY MAP, SECTION No. 87270-2424 & 2405 LAST REVISED MARCH 1964. -AND- THAT PORTION OF SW 2nd AVENUE LYING SOUTHWESTERLY OF THE NORTHWESTERLY PROJECTION OF A LINE LYING 14.00 FEET SOUTHWESTERLY OF THE NORTHEASTERLY LINE OF LOT 9, BLOCK 42 AS SHOWN ON THE PLAT OF BLOCK 42 SOUTH MIAMI ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 1, PAGE 87 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI DADE COUNTY FLORIDA; AND LYING EASTERLY OF THE EAST RIGHT OF WAY LINE OF INTERSTATE ## 95 AS SHOWN ON THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION RIGHT OF WAY MAP, SECTION No. 87270-2424 & 2405 LAST REVISED MARCH 1964. We have further examined Florida Statutes Section 177.085 which reads as follows: "When any owner of land subdivides the land and dedicates the streets, other roadways, alleys or similar strips on the map or plat, and the dedication contains a provision that the reversionary interest in the street, MIADOCS 867231 3 -3- roadway, alley or other similar strip is reserved unto the dedicator or his or her heirs, successors, assigns, or legal representative, or similar language, and thereafter conveys abutting lots or tracts, the conveyance shall carry the reversionary interest in the abutting street to the centerline or other appropriate boundary, unless the owner clearly provides otherwise in the conveyance." OPINION Based on the presumption that proper and appropriate steps will be taken to close the Proposed Closed Rights of Way as above described and that the public is the current fee owner of the Proposed Closed Rights of Way, it is our opinion that by virtue of the conditions set forth in the One Plaza Tentative Plat, the Statute quoted above and the Title Evidence, the Proposed Closed Rights of Way will become the property of the abutting land owners to the centerline on each side or other appropriate boundary. Based on the presumptions set forth above, the Ownership by virtue of the closing of the aforedescribed Proposed Closed Rights of Way running through the respective land should vest title to the said Proposed Closed Rights of Way in the remaining abutting land owners on both sides, and therefore, title to the Proposed Closed Rights of Way should be vested solely in One Plaza Corp. Therefore, subject to the terns, conditions and qualifications set forth in this opinion, it is our opinion that the following parties must join in the platting of the above described real property in order to grant the CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, and the public, a good and proper title to the dedicated areas shown on the tentative plat of the aforedescribed property, the subdivision thereof to be known as ONE PLAZA. 4 MIADOCS 867231 3 Name Interest Special Exception Number One Plaza Corp.
