ENCLOSURES:
The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the
development entitled West Brickell Centre, located at 267 S.W. 11 Street and has the following
comments.
1. Verify with the Public Works Department that the division of lots 9 and 10 has been
recognized by the City.
2. Dedication of a 25 foot corner radius is required on the southeast corner of the intersection of
S.W. 10 Street and S.W. 3 Avenue and on the northeast corner of the intersection of S.W. 11
Street and S.W. 3 Avenue.
3. Insufficient turning space is provided for the loading spaces. The driveway must be widened
to accommodate truck turning movements into the individual loading stalls.
4. The north 50 feet of lots 9 and 10 have been identified as a "park". Clarify the ownership,
use and maintenance responsibilities for this parcel of land.
5. All transitions from the established street profile grade to the building flood elevation must
be accomplished on private property. Stairs, ramps, retaining walls, etc. will not be
permitted in the public right-of-way and the record profile street grade can not be changed to
accommodate the proposed building ground floor elevation.
6. All stormwater must be retained on site including the driveways and plazas on private
property adjacent to the public streets. All plazas and driveways must be graded or trench
drains provided to prevent "sheet flow" entering the right of way. If deep drainage wells are
selected for stormwater disposal, they must be located on -site in an open area to
accommodate future maintenance access.
7. An agreement between the City of Miami and the property owner is required for any
landscaping and decorative sidewalk treatment located in the public right-of-way. Public
Works approval and permit is required for any landscaping improvements in the right-of-

8. Public Works policy requires that no closures of vehicular travel lanes will be permitted
during the course of construction unless a temporary replacement lane, approved by the
Public Works Department, is constructed and maintained by the Contractor throughout the
duration of the lane closure. A Maintenance of Traffic plan is required for any temporary
right-of-way request.
9. In order to mitigate traffic congestion and problems associated with unregulated parking
throughout the neighborhood, the Contractor/Developer shall be required to provide
approved, designated off -site parking for workers and a shuttle service to the work site. The
parking/shuttle plan shall be coordinated with the local City of Miami NET Service Center.
10. All greenspace and landscaping required by the Zoning Ordinance must be accommodated on
private property. Greenspace and landscaping within the public right-of-way cannot be
included in the calculations for meeting greenspace zoning requirements.
11. City of Miami driveway entrances, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, shall be required.
Continuous sidewalk is required across driveway entrances.
12. Since this project is more than one acre in total construction area, the methods of
construction must comply with the City of Miami Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Permit
(MS4). This project will require a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment permit. For information on a DEP permit application,
please contact the Public Works Department at (305) 416-1200 °, or
