ALFONSO City Manager CENTER BRICICELL SUBDIVISION TENTATIVE PLAT 41828 LOCATED BETWEEN SOUTH MIAMI AVENUE AND BRICKELL AVENUE, AND BETWEEN SE 13 STREET AND SE 14 STREET. .Ladies and Gentlemen: In accordance with City of Miami Code Section 55-701)(2), on April 2, 2014, the Supervisor of Plats convened a special meeting of a committee composed of the directors, or their designees, of the departments of Fire -Rescue, Building, Planning, Police, Public Works, General Service Administration, Solid Waste and the Office of Zoning. The purpose of the Meeting was to re -consider the recommendation of the March 6, 2014 Plat and Street Committee concerning the closure and vacation of the alley loCated between 13rickell Avenue and South Miami Avenue from SE 13 Street to SE 14 Street, After consideration and discussion of testimony presented by the applicant's representatives and from City staff in response to the questions identified in City Code Section 55-15(e) for vacation and closures, the review committee stated the following findings: 1. The general public does not appear to use the alley for through block access. The utilization by the general public is for access to the abutting commercial buildings. The closure of the alley and unification of the property opens and improves the redevelopinent potential for the site. 2. The Solid Waste Department is not utilizing the alley, collection is accomplished by private vendors. The Police Depai trnent does not regularly patrol the alley. The alley could potentially be used by the Fire Department depending on the emergency situation. If an access easement is granted by separate instrument, any development of the proposed tracts must be coordinated to avoid eroding "dead end" access. 3. There is no specific development intent for the property at this time. The current alley may be utilized by emergency response vehicles and personnel if necessary. ()ranting of an easement would satisfy access requirements if closely coordinated with redevelopment of the site. 4. The closure and vacation of the alley will eliminate "cut -through" vehicular traffic and improve pedestrian safety. An easement would satisfy access requirements to the adjacent buildings and parking areas. Future development on the site must comply with the Miami 21 Zoning Code Which may require an improved, safe public pedestrian 0.0608S corridor through the block. Based on these findings, the Committee has re -considered the vacation and closure of the alley located DEPARTMENT OP PUBLIC WORKS 44 SW 2" Avenue, 80, Floor / Miami, FL 33130 / (305) 416-1200 / Fax: (305) 416.1278 Mailing Address; P.O.
