Case No. 2013- 0151ac
CLOSING, VACATING, ABANDONING AND DISCONTINUING FOR PUBLIC USE A PUBLIC
ALLEY LOCATED APPROXIMATELY ALONG THE SOUTHSIDE OF NORTHEAST 19111
STREET BETWEEN NORTHEAST 2ND COURT AND BISCAYNE BOULEVARD MIAMI,
FLORIDA
Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the Planning Department has
reviewed the proposed public right-of-way vacation and closure to determine whether it
is in the public interest, or whether the general public would benefit from the vacation of
the right-of-way.
The following findings have been made:
• The alley does not provide access through the block and "dead ends" approximately
115' east of NE 2 Court. The closure eliminates a potential security problem for
pedestrians on NE 2nd Court and eliminates the possibility of illegal dumping.
• Emergency vehicles, including Fire -Rescue and Police do not utilize the alley. The
property is served at other locations by commercial waste collection and Solid Waste
vehicles do not utilize the alley to provide service. Since the alley "dead ends" and
does not access public property, the general public does not utilize the alley.
• Emergency and service vehicles, including Fire -Rescue and Police, have adequate
access to the tentative plat property and the surrounding neighborhood if this alley is
closed and vacated. Solid Waste services will not be adversely affected by the
closure of this alley.
• The alley is not part of the vehicular and pedestrian network. The alley does not
connect or provide circulation or access to other public or private properties.
• The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 7 in favor and 0 in
denial of this alley closure request.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
approval of the request.
