SUBJECT : Large Scale Development Review -
FIVE PROPERTIES
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for FIVE PROPERTIES located at
N.W. 9 Street and N.W. 43 Avenue and have the following comments.
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.
2. The proposed perimeter wall shall not exceed 30 inches in height within
the required 25 foot by 25 foot corner visibility triangles on all four corners
of the building site. Visual obstructions are not permitted within this area.
3 All stormwater must be retained on site including the driveways and
plazas on private property adjacent to the public st-reets. 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.
5. Standard City of Miami driveway approaches are required. Continuous
sidewalk is required across the driveway entrance.
6. 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 Cont-ractor throughout the duration of
the lane closure. A maintenance of traffic plan is required for any
temporary right of way closure request.
7. 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.

corners. 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.
N.W. 9 Street and N.W. 10 Street - Replace all broken and damage tl sidewalk, curb and
