In 2006, a prior owner of the Property applied for and received approval from the
Planning & Zoning Board (Resolution No. ZB-2005-1064) and City Commission for the vacation
and abandonment of the same 10' platted alley (approved by Resolution R-06-0134). The
proposal to vacate and close the 10' alley is the same as proposed and approved in 2006.
On April 5, 2012, the Miami Plat & Street Committee reviewed and approved the
tentative plat for the Property. A copy of the signed Plat & Street letter is enclosed as part of the
application.
In connection with the prior abandonment of the platted alley, the Property was also
proposed to be replatted. As part of the final plat process, the utility companies provided
letters regarding their facilities located on the Property and/or in the platted alley. Only
BellSouth and Florida Power & Light have existing facilities in the alley. BellSouth previously
issued a "no objection" letter to the abandonment of the alley pursuant to their facilities being
relocated. FPL was granted an easement in 2009 for their existing facilities. This easement, as
noted in the Plat & Street approval letter, will have to be abandoned and FPL's facilities will
have to be relocated.
The alley, as previously stated, is not paved and does not currently provide vehicular,
pedestrian or emergency access. The Property is served by the following roads: Miami A venue
to the west, 36
th
Street to the south and NE Miami Court to the east. Therefore there is no need
for the alley.
For the foregoing reasons, we would respectfully request the City's favorable
consideration and of the requested abandonment and closure application.
Sincerely,
cc: Justin Toal, Fifteen Group
