Large Scale Development Review -
SAWYER'S WALK
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the SAWYER'S WALK
located at N.W. 7 Street and N.W. 2 Avenue and have the following comments.
1. At the building #4 site, re -platting may be required to legalize the
divisions of lots 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of block 46 N. Verify the
platting requirements with the Public Works Department.
2. Right of way dedication is required at the following locations:
• Ten (10) feet along N.W. 3 Avenue
• Twelve and one-half (12.5) feet along N.W. 6 Street
• Twelve and one-half (12.5) feet along N.W. 2 Avenue (both sides)
• Twelve and one-half (12.5) feet along N.W. 8 Street
In addition, a twenty-five (25) foot corner radius dedication is required at
all street intersections.
3. The proposed encroachment of building #4 beyond the required corner
radius dedication at the intersection of N.W. 8 Street and N.W. 3 Avenue
is not permitted. Verify that the proposed structure is located behind all
base building lines.
4. Insufficient maneuvering space is provided for internal truck maneuvers
for the 12 foot by 35 foot stalls in building #4. A column interferes with a
truck entering the trash stall and the "B.O.H." wall interferes with a truck
exiting the loading stall.
5. Insufficient maneuvering space is provided to enter and exit the 12 foot by
65 foot loading stalls in building #3. When the 12 foot by 65 foot loading
stalls are occupied there is insufficient maneuvering area to enter the 12
foot by 35 foot loading stalls.
6. Continuous sidewalk is required within the public right of way along
N.W. 1 Court without requiring pedestrians to enter private property.
There may be insufficient right of way width for both on street parking
stalls and the required sidewalk.

7. All transitions from the established street profile grade to the building
ground floor elevation must be accomplished on private property. Stairs,
ramps, retaining walls and modification of the street profile grades shall
not be permitted in the public right of way. Since no setbacks are required
for this project except along N.W. 3 Avenue, extra care must be taken to
adjust the proposed building elevation to meet the existing established
street elevations.
8. The maximum driveway width is 40 feet. City of Miami driveway
entrances, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, shall be required.
9. 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.
10. An agreement between the City of Miami and the property owner is
required for any landscaping and decorative sidewalk and crosswalk
treatment located in public right of way.
11. Standard parking spaces are 8.5 feet wide and 18 feet long and require a
23 foot back-up distance.
12. 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.
13. 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.

In addition to these comments, the Public Works Department will require the
following street improvements:
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 the excavation and/or damaged
pavement area. Handicap ramps, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, are
required at all 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.
On N.W. 6, 7 and 8 Streets between N.W. 1 Court and N.W. 3 Avenue and on
N.W. 1 Court, N.W. 2 and 3 Avenues between N.W. 6 Street and N.W. 8 Street,
replace all broken and damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter on both sides of the
roadways. Mill and resurface the entire width, curb to curb, of said roadways.
If you have any questions concerning these comments, please call Mr. Leonard
Helmers, Professional Engineer IV, at extension 1221.
