SUBJECT Large Scale Development Review -
SEVEN
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the
development entitled SEVEN, located at N.E. 28 Street and N.E. 2 Avenue and has the following
comments.
1. The zoned right-of-way width of N.E. 28 Street is 50 feet placing the base building line 25
feet from the centerline of the street. 12.5 feet of right-of-way dedication is required on both
sides of N.E. 28 Street. The zoned right-of-way width of N.E. 2 Avenue is 70 feet. 10 feet
of right-of-way dedication is required on the west side of N.E. 2 Avenue. In addition, 25 foot
corner radius dedications tangent to the zoned base building lines are required on the
northeast and southeast corners of the project site.
2. The proposed building is not permitted to encroach beyond the base building line on N.E. 28
Street and into the 25 foot corner radius at its intersection with N.E. 2 Avenue and the squash
court is not permitted to encroach beyond the base building line on N.E 28 Street. The
proposed building encroaches into the corner visibility triangle on the northeast corner of the
project site.
3. The required right-of-way dedication may reduce the NET lot area. Verify the NET lot area
calculations based on all of the required right-of-way dedications.
4. Insufficient truck maneuvering area has been provided to utilize the two loading berths
simultaneously without encroaching onto the adjacent stall.
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. The maximum slope for a driveway ramp sloping downward toward the street is 1:10 for the
last 20 feet to the property line. 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" from 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-
way.
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 closure 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. Erosion and sediment control for the construction site must conform to City of Miami Public
Works Engineering Standard Misc. 35-89-6.
In addition to these comments, the Public Works Department will require the following street
improvements:
N.E. 28 Street: Construct sidewalk, curb and gutter on the south side of N.E. 28 Street adjacent
to the project site. Construct new pavement to provide two driving lanes, minimum 10 feet wide,
on N.E. 28 Street between N.E. 2 Avenue to the west side of the squash court. Modify/construct
a stormwater drainage system for the street right-of-way at its intersection with N.E. 2 Avenue.
N.E. 27 Street: Replace all damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter on both sides of the street
adjacent to the project site. Mill and resurface N.E. 27 Street, curb to curb, between N.E. 2
Avenue and the railroad tracks.
N.E. 2 Avenue: Construct sidewalk, curb and gutter on the west side of N.E. 2 Avenue adjacent
to the project site. Mill and resurface the west half of N.E. 2 Avenue between N.E. 27 Street and
N.E. 28 Street.

Pavement restoration for all water and sewer extensions, existing damaged pavement and
pavement damaged during construction, as determined by the City inspector, shall include
milling and resurfacing of the full pavement width, curb to curb, along the entire length of
excavation and/or damaged pavement area. Construct handicap ramps, in compliance with
A.D.A. standards at both street intersections adjacent to the project site. A thorough cleaning of
all stormwater drainage inlets and storm sewer pipes adjacent to the building site shall be
required at the completion of the project. The streets and avenues adjacent to the project site
must be clear of dust and construction debris at all times.
