Re: Resolution: R-11-0120
Honorable Commissioners of the City of Miami;
After numerous consultations with Mr. Alfredo Duran, Deputy Director,
of the City of Miami Community Development Department in regards to the
further development of three of the infill lots that our Agency obtained from the
City of Miami, for the purpose of developing and selling single family twin homes
to low income families, Mr. Duran and myself, both agreed that it would be much
more advisable to build rental duplexes than twin homes to sale to individual
buyers, keeping in consideration the financial hardships that residents of
Allapattah (or possible prospects that will consider moving in our area) making
the qualifying and placing of first mortgages to these individual a very difficult
task, where there are very few applicants to begin with.
We are hereby respectfully requesting that this City Commission considers and
allows A.B.D.A. to change the plans for the remainder three infill lots, from the
original plans of building twin homes to rather build a three bedroom two and a
half bathroom two story duplex, with 1505 sq. ft. in each residence. Building cost
will be $119,000 per side, ($238,000 per lot) for the rental market in our area.
And extend the benchmarks of this remaining construction project's deadlines,
mentioned in the approval of the previous City Commission Resolution dated
3/24/2011.
This Resolution orders the construction of the second unit (790 N.W. 29 Terr.) to
commence on January 1, 2012. And it is hereby requested to allow construction's
commencement on October 1, 2012. And the completion to be done not on July
1, 2012 but on March 31, 2013.
The third and fourth construction sites located at 3245 N.W. 11 Ct. and 3255 N.W.
11 Ct. Miami, FI. Have a commencement date on the above mentioned Resolution
of July 1, 2012, to kindly move that date to April 1, 2013. Moving the completed
project date, from December 30, 2012, to October 31, 2013. As these two last
