Whipple of this Department, concerning the subject project. In short, the two driveways being constructed at this project were approved by your Department with our concurrence. In January of 1977, prior to the issuance of a building permit for the subject project, you and Mr. Whipple reviewed a suggested revision to the entry way plan of the subject project. This revision was to split the driveway as it approached Main Highway which would provide two drive way access points, one for ingress and one for egress, for this project. At that time, Mr. Whipple indicated that this modification was a logical change and a change which would in fact offer greater traffic safety both from the public right-of-way and egress from the private property. It was likewise indicated that the revision would not cause any disturbance of the primary foliage in this area and in fact would allow the saving of some trees that would otherwise have to be removed or relocated in widening the single driveway. On the basis of this department's recommendation and your department's concurrence, the revisions to the plan were judged as acceptable and a permit was issued thereon. The Planning Department continues to support this plan modification in that improved traffic circulation will result and there will be no perceptible impact upon the surrounding area. It should likewise be noted, that over the course of the past few weeks, this Department and in particular, Mr. Whipple, have been approached regarding this decision and each time we have reaffirmed our position for the change, and have also had the endorsement of the Public Works Department regarding this change. Pursuant to other inquires and comments with respect to this project, we would also like to state that deviations of the plan such as discussed above 1 of 2 rf's� . w%y � C• tvr city OF MIAMI.
