The City of Miami, Florida ("City") is the owner of certain real property, consisting of two
(2) parcels of raw land with Folio numbers 01-3135-087-0010 and 01-3135-087-0012
totaling approximately 0.97 acres of land located at approximately 1765 NW 15tt' Avenue
(collectively, "Properties") and further identified in attached and incorporated Composite
Exhibit A.
Pursuant to 42 U.S. Code Section 4651 ("Uniform Relocation Act") and Section 29-B(c)
of the Charter of the City of Miami, as amended ("City Charter"), the Veterans
Administration (1) has previously purchased from the City at fair market value the
adjacent property formerly known as the Wagner Square Property and (2) now desires
to appraise and perform necessary environmental and other due diligence on the
Properties in order to negotiate a purchase and sale of the Properties from the City to
the Veterans Administration.
In order for the Veterans Administration to undertake the necessary appraisals,
environmental, and other due diligence as required by both Federal law and the City
Charter, it is in the best interests of the City to enter into a Property Access Agreement,
in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, with the Veterans Administration at no fees,
costs, or expenses to the City.
