ENCLOSURES:
FILE :
The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the development
entitled 1080 Brickell, located at 1080 Brickell Avenue and has the following comments. These
comments are applicable to both Option "A" and Option "B".
1. Insufficient maneuvering space is provided in the loading area for trucks. The service drive is too
narrow to permit single unit trucks to access the loading stalls.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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. A FDOT permit is required for all
work within the Brickell Avenue right-of-way.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

8. City of Miami driveway entrances, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, shall be required.
Continuous sidewalk is required across driveway entrances. FDOT approval and permit is required
for driveways on Brickell Avenue.
9. Since this project is more than one acre in total construction area, the methods of construction must
comply with the City of Miami 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 www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes.
In addition to these comments, the Public Works Department will require the following street
improvements:
S.E: 1 Avenue: Replace all broken and damaged sidewalks, curb and gutter adjacent to the project site.
Mill and resurface the full width of the pavement, curb to curb, adjacent to the project site.
Brickell Avenue: Coordinate the replacement of all broken and damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter
adjacent to the project site with the Florida. Department of Transportation.
In addition, 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. 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.
If you have any questions concerning these comments, please call Mr. Leonard Helmers, Professional
Engineer IV, at extension 1221.
