ANALYSIS FOR
STREET CLOSURE
Request: 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,
Project: Closing, vacating, abandoning and discontinuing for public use a street
Location: APPROXIMATELY LOCATED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF BISCAYNE
BOULEVARD TO APPROXIMATELY 211 FEET TO THE WEST, AND ALONG THE NORTH
SIDE OF NE 60TH STREET TO APPROXIMATELY 103 FEET TO THE NORTH, AND ALSO
BETWEEN NORTHEAST 5TH COURT, NORTHEAST 60TH STREET AND BISCAYNE
BOULEVARD, MIAMI FLORIDA.
Net District: Upper East Side NET
Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A
Current Zoning Designation: N/A
FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. The street provides access to adjacent property only and is not part of the neighborhood
circulation network.
2. The streets are utilized by parents of students attending the Cushman School and
vehicles serving the school. Emergency vehicles serve the school from these streets.
Since the streets "loop" from Biscayne Boulevard and do not interconnect to the
neighborhood street network, pedestrian and vehicular use is limited.
3. An emergency vehicle access easement will be provided on the former streets to serve
the adjacent school property. A vehicular turn -around easement will be provided at the
end of NE 5'h Court to properly serve properties located south of the school site.
4. The streets are not part of the neighborhood pedestrian and vehicular circulation
network. Biscayne Boulevard has been recently improved with enhanced sidewalks to
better facilitate pedestrian circulation. The elimination of an access connection to
Biscayne Boulevard will reduce conflicts and improve traffic flow on Biscayne Boulevard.
5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted 4 in favor and 0 in denial of this street
closure request subject to a public access easement for 84' diameter cul-de-sac at the
closed end of NE 5ih Court and an emergency vehicle access easement on the former
NE 5th Court/NE 60th Street right of way.
Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
Approval of the request.
