Requesting Department: Department of
Resilience and Public Works
Sponsored By:
District Impacted: District 5
Type: Resolution
Subject: Execute Quit Claim Deed - Portion of NW 28 Street
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution, pursuant to Section 255.22 of Florida Statutes, to vacate, discontinue,
and abandon a portion of the southern side of Northwest 28th Street between NW 2
Avenue and NW 3 Avenue, more particularly described in Exhibit A, containing
approximately 1068 square feet, more or less; and quit claiming said parcel of land,
pursuant to Section 255.22 Florida Statutes, to the successor in interest of the original
dedicator, Oscar Peterson, a single man, and authorizing and directing the City
Manager to execute a quit claim deed, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, in favor
of 2775 Mandarine, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company..
Background of Item:
Pursuant to Section 255.22, Florida Statutes a municipality may deliver a quitclaim deed
to an adjoining property owner, or their successor, when land that was conveyed to the
municipality by the adjoining property owner was not used for that specific purpose for
over sixty (60) consecutive months or the proposed use was not identified in a
comprehensive plan or other public facilities plan during the same period.
In this matter, the subject property sought to be reconveyed was initially conveyed to
the City on February 23, 1950 through execution of warranty deed as recorded in Deed
Book 3252, Page 219, for the specific purpose of usage for street and/or sidewalk. The
City has not constructed the improvements contemplated in the Warranty Deed or
maintained the conveyed property in a period in excess of sixty months. The conveyed
property is not necessary for road widening purposes.
The current owner, as successor of the original dedicator, is developing the property
and planning to utilize the conveyed property. The conveyed property is not buildable
by itself and is not a waterfront property. Notwithstanding the platting requirements for
vacation and closure of right of way of Chapter 55 of the City Code, the Florida Statutes
allows the adjoining owner to demand a reconveyance of the unused portion of the
property, which was conveyed by deed, and was not dedicated by plat, to be
reconveyed. The City can issue a quitclaim deed to accomplish the reconveyance in
order to facilitate the re -development, divest the City of un-necessary right of way and
un-useable property.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, THE SUCCESSOR -IN -INTEREST OF THE ORIGINAL
DEDICATOR.
WHEREAS, 2775 Mandarine, LLC ("Owner") is the owner of the property located at

WHEREAS, on January 29, 1937, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1682
designating a zoned right-of-way width of seventy feet (70') for Northwest 28 Street from North
Miami Avenue to the western City limits; and
WHEREAS, on February 23, 1950, the Owner's predecessor -in -interest executed a
warranty deed recorded in Deed Book 3252, Page 219 of the Public Records of Miami -Dade
County ("Warranty Deed") conveying the northern thirty-five feet (35') abutting the Property
alongside Northwest 28 Street ("Conveyed Property") to the City for street and/or sidewalk

WHEREAS, on April 28, 2016, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 13600
reducing the zoned right-of-way width of Northwest 28 Street between Northwest 2 Avenue and
Northwest 3 Avenue from seventy feet (70') to fifty feet (50'); and
WHEREAS, on October 23, 2017, the Director of Public Works, pursuant to Section 54-
187 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"), determined and
established a new centerline for Northwest 28 Street between Northwest 2 Avenue and
Northwest 3 Avenue to be located at ten feet (10') to the North of the then current centerline,
requiring only a fifteen foot (15') right-of-way dedication instead of the thirty-five feet (35')
dedicated by the Warranty Deed for properties located along the south side of Northwest 28
Street including the Property; and
WHEREAS, the City required the Owner to construct certain road improvements in the
public right-of-way, which have been completed and accepted by the City; and
WHEREAS, Section 255.22(1), Florida Statutes, provides that for property conveyed to a
municipality or county on or prior to October 1, 1984, a municipality or county may reconvey

Conveyed Property; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the usual requirement that vacations and closures of rights -
