Project: Closing, vacating, abandoning and discontinuing for public use alleys Location: NORTH/SOUTH AND EAST/WEST ALLEYS LOCATED BETWEEN NORTH MIAMI AVENUE AND NW MIAMI COURT FROM NW 20TH STREET TO APPROXIMATELY 215 FEET NORTH OF NW 20TH STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA Net District: Wynwood / Edgewater Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A Current Zoning Designation: N/A FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: 1. The current alleys are very narrow and vehicular access is not available. A replacement alley is being dedicated by this plat that is wider than the existing alleys and will provide improved access. The alleys are currently not being used for its intended purpose and presents security and illicit activity problems. The closure of the current alleys, creation of a wider alley between North Miami Avenue and NW Miami Court and unification of the site will enable a modern, clean recycling/processing plant to be constructed and reduce the amount of material otherwise deposited in landfills. 2. The existing alleys are too narrow for vehicular access by police, fire, emergency vehicles or the general public. 3. There are three street frontages to this property and emergency vehicle access will not be negatively affected by the alley closures. 4. A wider alley will be provided between North Miami Avenue and NW Miami Court that better accommodates vehicular and pedestrians and maintains the continuity of the grid . 5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 6 in favor and 0 in denial of these alley closure requests. K.
