Background Information:
Southeast 1st Street between Southeast 1st Avenue and Southeast 2nd Avenue and Southeast 2nd
Avenue between East Flagler Street and Southeast 1st Street were originally dedicated as 50 foot wide
roadways. Several historic buildings, including the "City National Bank", "Royalton", "Olympia",
"Ingraham" and "Walgreen Drug" have been constructed to the original 50 foot roadway right of way
line. The zoned street width of these roadways were subsequently increased to 75 feet wide and 70 foot
wide respectively but the north side of Southeast 1st Street and both sides of Southeast 2nd Avenue have
not been dedicated or developed to the 75 foot and 70 foot widths. The physical location of the historic
buildings preclude roadway widening.
To continue the protection of the existing historic buildings compatible with new in -fill development
now being realized in the area, a reduction in the zoned street width to the original dedicated street width
along the north side of Southeast 1st Street between Southeast 1st Avenue and Southeast 2nd Avenue
and along both sides of Southeast 2nd Avenue between East Flagler Street and Southeast 1st Street is
warranted. To provide for enhanced pedestrian comfort and convenience, a perpetual sidewalk easement
with wide sidewalks will be required of new in -fill development along the north side of Southeast 1st
Street.
The Public Works Department's review of these transportation corridors reveal that the current
developed roadways adequately serve the vehicular transportation needs of the public and permits the
continued protection of the historic buildings. The current alignment of the vehicular travel lanes will
not change if the Ordinance is adopted.
The Departments of Police, Fire -Rescue and Solid Waste have been notified of the proposed reduction
of the zoned width of these right of ways.
