utility easements lying within the bcundaries of Tract
"A", MOORE PARK (86-45), except the W5' of the N75' of
the 5203.80' of said Tract "A". This was based upon the
recommendation of the Department of Public Works and
commitments made by all of the utility companies that
they would interpose no objection to the closing of por-
tions of said easements. The closing was needed since
the.new and larger fire station which will replace the
present Fire Station No. 6 will encroach in the said
easements. Quit claim deed for the release of the ease-
ments have been executed by Florida Power & Light Company,
Florida Gas Company, Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-

In order to bring the street to its fully zoned width
the City of Miami requires a dedication of various
widths of land ;;long the North side of N.E. 83rd Street
from the i;est line of Lot 33, ADEMAR PARK (7-57) to a
point 620' feet easterly thereof. Acquisition of this

IMPROVF.MM:NT H-4373 which is presently unde), construc-
tion. Upon being informed that the City would bear
75% of the assessment charge for the improvements
abutting this property, the owner agreed to dedicate
the required land, resulting in the execution and de-
livery of a Highway Right of Way Deed to the City of Miami.
It is estimated that the value of the dedicated land
exceeds the City's cost of the improvement. It is now
in order fot the City Commission to accept the aforesaid
deed and have it recorded in the Public Records of Dade
