From NE 1 Avenue to NE 2 Avenue The segment of NE 9 Street between NE 1 Avenue and NE 2 Avenue has been approved for vacation andclosure by the City Commission as part of the Miami. Worldeenter District. It is appropriate to delete this segment of NE 9 Street from the list of nonstandard street widths. From North Miami Avenue to NW 1 Avenue (East) The segment of NW 9 Street between North Miami Avenue and NW 1 Avenue (east) was zoned 80 feet wide, however, was developed as a divided roadway 100 feet in width. The abutting property owners have dedicated the full 100 feet of width and it is now in order to re -zone the right of way width to 100 feet. From NW 2 Avenue to Interstate 95 In 1985, the City Commission adopted the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan. That plan designated NE/NW 9 Street between Biscayne Boulevard and 1-95 as a wide "mall". The NW 9 Street right of way between NW 2 Avenue and Interstate 95 was zoned 80 feet wide to accommodate future widening anddevelopment of the mall. Because dedication of the full right of way width had not occurred, the Community Redevelopment Agency reconstructed the segment between NW 2 Avenue and. NW 3 Avenue with enhanced sidewalks and crosswalks and trees/tree grates within the original: 50 foot wide right of way. Additionally, the "D.A. Dorsey House" located at 250 NW 9 Street and the "Ward Rooming. House" located at 249-255 NW 9 Street, directly across the street, have been designated as Historic Sites by the City's Historical and Environmental Preservation Board. Both the "D.A. Dorsey House" and the "Ward Rooming House" sites extend up to the original. 50 wide right of way line, thereby, precluding the widening of NW 9 Street to the full 80 foot width. Since NW 9 Street between NW 2 Avenue and NW 3 Avenue has been enhanced within the original 50 foot wide right of way and the "b,AJ)otsey House" and "Ward Rooming House" preclude widening of NW 9 Street to the full 80 foot width, a reduction. of the zoned width of NW 9 Street between NW 2 .Avenue and Interstate 95 back to the original 50 foot width is warranted. A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 28, 2016 Commission meeting to consider these base building line width modifications. Please be prepared to present your comments concerning these modifications to the zoned street width to the City Commission at this meeting. CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA TO Maurice L.
