Plummer Rose Gordon Theodore Gibson From: John R. Massey Re: The Official Vacation and Closure of that portion of N.W. 17th Court lying between northwesterly production of the southwesterly boundry of Lot 66 of LAWRENCE PARK A! -ID (7-140) and the westerly right-of-way line of N.W. 17th Avenue; all in conjunction with Tentative Plat #1003-A "BETTY'S' ISLAND". I do not feel that granting of the above closure would be consistent with the highest and best use of the existing property. I would like to suggest that you have your staff investigate the feasibility and cost of the following alternative: The City of Miami (you, me and hundreds of thousands of others) now owns that portion of N.W. 17 Court that the petition wants to close off. I would like to recommend that the City of Miami purchase Lot 66, and that portion of Lot 67 that is bounded by Lot 66 on the North and N.W. So. River Drive on the South, and keep it cleared of underbrush. This would provide another park area and would also: 1. Provide safer egress and ingress to N.W. 17 Avenue. The junction of eastbound N.W. South River Drive at 17th Avenue is one of the most dangerous intersections in Miami. This is caused, primarily, by fast moving vehicles traveling south over the 17th Avenue bridge and making adjustments to either • go west on 836 or N.W. South River Drive, or to continue sout on N.W. 17th Avenue. 2. Provide a safer place for people to walk --- they could walk along 17th Court or through the open park area instead of along busy N.W. 17th Avenue. s Maintain another much needed open ait area for Miatni. 4. Enhance the beauty of one of Miami's Streets. We are hoW spending millions of dollars along S.W. 8th Street and Flagler Street to achieve the same objective. This lot already has beautiful trees. It just needs the undergrowth kept under control. I am concerned that if the above closure is approved it will make the Tentative Plat 41003-A "Betty's Island" suitable for some use other than the present R-1, single family, zoning. This would be damaging to the neighborhood and in direct conflict with my rights as a property owner in the neighborhood. I would hope that you would take this into consideration before acting on fir. Blake's application. If the Commission should elect to abandon the street right of way I would protest any future change in zoning or a variance from the existing zoning. \i/No:"‘>•...CD\Ss•SQ1 John R.
