Project: Closing, Vacating, Abandoning and Discontinuing for public use an alley Location: LOCATED APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN SW 7TH STREET AND SW 8TH STREET, AND BETWEEN SW 57TH AVENUE AND APPROXIMATELY 310 FEET TO THE EAST OF SW 57TH AVENUE, MIAMI, FLORIDA Net District: Flagami NET Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A Current Zoning Designation: N/A FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: 1. The closure of the alley will unify the property to allow development of a retail building that will better serve the neighborhood. The project includes removal of a gasoline station and any contamination related to the former automotive services. 2. The existing alley is private and the general public does not use the alley. Emergency and service vehicles do not regularly utilize the alley. 3.

A new access easement will be provided at the closed end of the alley to SW 7 Street for emergency access and the private use of all of the homeowners on the block. 4. Since the alley is designated as private on the underlying plat, the property owners within the block and emergency vehicles will continue to have uninterrupted use of the alley. The development site is accessible and the abutting roadways are fully developed for pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation. 5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 6 in favor and 0 in denial of this alley closure request subject to the following condition: K.
