SUBJECT:
/
Addendum to the request for the abandonment of a portion of the alley commonly known as SW 63rd
Terrace Alley, by the abutting property owner, Mr. Juan Restrepo.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
At the July 24, 2012 City Commission meeting it was requested by Vice Mayor Liebman and approved
unanimously by the Commission, that this item be deferred to the next available meeting. This deferral
was to allow staff an opportunity to research if it was feasible to sell the property rather than abandon it,
what it was worth, and how other municipalities handle similar situations. '
In researching how other municipalities abandon or vacate public right of way, it was evidenced most
jurisdictions either abandon or vacate portions of property to abutting property owners after an analysis of
the request to ensure the proposal is not detrimental to the public good, and after a duly noticed public
hearing. Others deal more specifically with the sale or lease of public property.
I have included the requirements from Florida Statute § 336.09 and 336.10, code requirements from the
Village of Pinecrest and City of North Miami, and the requirements for the sale or lease of public
property from the Cities of Coral Gables and Miami Beach, for your information.
The following computation was used to calculate the estimated value of the 135 square feet being
requested.
