Background Information:
City Code Section 54-191(b) provides a mechanism to permit an existing previously permitted wood
fence to be reinstalled, and a portion of an existing car port to remain, within the dedicated public right-
of-way if the original fence and existing car port were constructed prior to March 24, 1983.
In consideration of the rights under City Code Section 54-191(b), the property owner at 3686 Loquat
Avenue has submitted a request to the Director of Public Works to permit an existing previously
permitted wood fence to be reinstalled, and a portion of an existing car port to remain, within the
dedicated public right-of-way of Loquat Avenue adjacent to the property. Since the wood fence and car
port encroach into the dedicated right-of-way of Loquat Avenue, this request is being presented to the
City Commission along with a City of Miami building record showing that the original fence was
constructed in 1950, a sworn affidavit attesting to. the existence of the car port prior to March 24, 1983, a
survey of the original fence and car port showing its location within the dedicated right-of-way of
Loquat Avenue, and several photos showing the remaining portions of the original fence and the
reinstalled fence in the same location to prove that the original wood fence was constructed prior to
March 24, 1983. The owner has requested that the City permit the wood fence to be reinstalled in the
same location as the previously permitted wood fence and the car port to remain. A search of City
records reveals that no documented complaints or reports of problems of impediment to travel by
vehicles or pedestrians attributed to the wood fence or the car port are contained in said records.
It is respectfully recommended that the wood fence be permitted to be reinstalled and the car port to
remain in the dedicated right-of-way of Loquat Avenue subject to a Covenant to Run with the Land and
payment of fees as required by the City Code.
