If deep drainage wells are selected for stormwater disposal, they must be located on -site in an open area to accommodate future maintenance access. 5. 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. 6.
