BACKGROUND The City of South Miami has received a formal petition from a property owner at 6780 SW 69"' Terrace requesting that unimproved right -of -way of SW 68th Avenue, abutting his property on the west side be abandoned. In 1944, the previous owner of the property at 6780 SW 60 Terrace dedicated the right-of- way for future use as a continuation of SW 69"' Avenue. A right of reversion to the original property is included in the dedication. The property if vacated will revert to the petitioner. STAFF OBSERVATIONS (1) The right -of -way abandonment process is set forth in Florida Statutes 336.09 and 336.10 (attached). This procedure requires approval by the City Commission after a public hearing. The City of South Miami has also established a process for review of these petitions. It includes a procedure used by the Planning Department which includes a Planning Board public hearing, submission of signatures from other abutting owners, and the payment of a fee. A copy of the applicant's petition is attached. (2) The right -of -way area proposed for closure is 4,687 square feet (25 x 187.47). A field inspection of the right -of -way reveals that the site has a number of large trees and is encumbered by wooden fences and a coral rock wall running the entire length of the property. It appears that the owner has incorporated the right-of-way into his home site and maintains the property. The applicant states that the purpose of for the petition is to allow for additional landscaping and for beautification of the neighborhood. (3) There appears to be no utilities in the right -of -way, however, formal letters from utility companies were not submitted. Abandonment of R -O -W SW 68 Ave. Page 2 of 2 (4) The petition of the applicant states that there is no reason for the right -of -way dedication to continue The City is not planning on extending SW 68 Avenue southward. (5) The City's petition process requires the signatures of all abutting owners acknowledging that are informed of the proposed right -of -away abandonment. There are five properties, including the petitioner, which abut the proposed right -of -way proposed for abandonment. The applicant has obtained signatures of the three owners of property abutting the right-of-way. The signature representing ownership of Fellowship Church, which abuts the right -of -way on the south, is not included. The applicant's representative has stated in a cover letter that despite considerable efforts they have not been able to obtain this signature: These signatures are not required under State law but are required as a policy of the City as part of its review process. The Planning Director has agreed that the signature from the Church can be waived as long as the applicant provides proof of attempts to obtain this signature. (6) The existing coral rock wall is a most attractive visual element in the neighborhood and staff is concerned that wall will be demolished. In addition the applicant should continue to maintain the open space and green area which characterizes the unused right -of -way. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the petition to vacate and abandon SW 60 Avenue between SW 79 Street and SW 80 Street be approved with the following conditions: (1) The petitioner shall provide for the recording of all legal documents necessary for the abandonment; (2) The petitioner may not construct any structure, building or part of a building on the reverted property; (3) The petitioner shall retain and maintain the existing coral rock wall; (4) The petitioner shall provide to the Planning Department evidence that efforts were made to notify the Fellowship Church in order to obtain their signature on the petition.

Enclosed please find an executed "Petition to Close Road" which Mr. Feenane and his neighbors are submitting pursuant to Chapter 336, Florida Statutes. I further enclose a check payable to the City of South Miami in the total amount of $1,500.00, and a copy a boundary survey prepared by A. Fiore and Associates, 2- 24 -07.. I have also included the subdivision plat for "Barbara Estates ", PB 63 -38, which depicts the original dedication of the right-of-way. As you will see from the petition, one of my neighbors, the First Baptist Church of South Miami, Inc. a /k /a Fellowship Church, was not included as a signatory to the petition. The Fellowship Church is the only neighboring property that is not a single family home, and is based outside of the State of Florida. Although we have made several attempts to reach out to the principals of the church, they have been unsuccessful. To our knowledge, they are not unopposed to the vacation, but have simply not been available. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Planning Board Applications I Public Hearing PB -07 -011 Applicant: Edward Feenane A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF TIIE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA IN RESPONSE TO A PETITION OF AN ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNER APPROVING THE VACATION AND ABANDONMENT OF 187 FEET OF UNIMPROVED RIGHT -OF -WAY PORTION OF SW 68 AVENUE LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF 6780 SW 69TH TERRACE MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN A LEGAL DESCRIPTION SET FORTH HEREIN; SUBJECT TO PROPERTY OWINER PROVIDING FOR THE Planning Board Meeting April 10, 2007 Page 2 of 4 RECORDING OF ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE ABANT)ONMENT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Action: Mr. Farfan read the resolution into the record. Mr. Youkilis advised the Board that the City of South Miami has received a formal petition from the property owner Mr. Feenane requesting that the unimproved right -of way of SW 68tIi Avenue abutting property on the west side of SW 6780 69 Terrace be abandoned. He stated that in order for this to occur State Law requires approval by the City Commission after a public hearing. In addition, the City of South Miami has an established process for review of these petitions. Mr. Youkilis advised that the applicant has made direct contact with all his abutting neighbors and obtained the required signatures, except for the Fellowship First Baptist Church. He advised that the applicant has made several attempts to obtain the church's signature however, they have not responded. He stated that the Planning Director has the right to agree that the signature from the church can be waived as long as they show proof that an attempt was been made to contact the church. Recommendations: Staff recommended that the Board approve the abandonment with the following recommendations: (1) The petitioner shall provide for the recording of all legal documents necessary for the abandonment; (2) The petitioner may not construct any structure, building or part of a building on the reverted property; (3) The petitioner shall retain and maintain the existing coral rock wall; (4) The petitioner shall provide to the Planning Department evidence that efforts were made to notify the Fellowship First Baptist Church in order to obtain their signature on the petition. (5) Prior to the application being placed before the City Commission the applicant shall provide letters from all three major utility companies advising that they have no easements or interest in the abandoned right -of -way. Mr. Marrero, who represents Mr. Feenane, advised his client has been in touch with the neighbors and has obtained the required signatures needed for the street abandonment approval. He also stated his client made three attempts of contact Mr. Scott Wilson, Director of the Fellowship First Baptist Church. Scott Wilson, church director, was mailed a certified letter informing him and his congregation of Mr. Feenane's intent, but Mr. Feenane has had no response. He advised the Board that his client would like to restore the coral rock wall and has no intentions of building the lot. Mr. Marrero stated the plat on the other side of the street was never dedicated therefore, the remaining 25 feet wide right-of- way will revert to Mr. Feenane. Mr. Marrero stated that his client has maintained and beautified the properly and would Iike to preserve the property for himself and his neighborhood. Ms. Beckman questioned if the coral rock wall ends at Mr. Feenane's property and Mr. Marrero responded with an affirmative. Ms. Beckman stated that on occasion abandoned streets are split between neighbors and questioned if this would be done. Mr. Youkilis Planning Board Meeting April 10, 2007 Page 3 of 4 responded that Mr. Marrero provided staff with proof that a reverter clause states it should be returned to the owner that dedicated it. Ms. Chael stated that it is common for property owners to dedicate rights -of -ways back to the city. She asked if there will be any monetary exchange involved. Mr. Youkilis responded with a negative indicating that the State prohibits any monetary exchange. Mr. Marrero added his client paid a $1500 dollar fee and now his client will have to pay property taxes. He mentioned that no one is paying taxes on the property, therefore the City will benefit. Additionally, his client will not receive any financial benefits on the contrary he will see an increase on his assessed value. Ms. Chael was concerned that the proposed resolution will have repercussions should the church decide to sell their property and Mr. Youkilis advised that the city has no intentions on doing anything with the property. Ms: Young questioned the number of times the applicant made the effort to contact the Fellowship church and Mr. Marrero stated that the applicant was contacted on three different occasions via a certified letter. Chairman Morton opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE David Tucker 6556 SW 78th Terrace Supports Mr. Tucker questioned whether the Board posted ,a public hearing notice on the property and Ms. Beckman responded that a notice indicating the date and time was posted on the property. Mr. Tucker advised he would like to see the applicant live up to his proposition and maintain the property. Reverend Walker 6600 SW 63 Court Supports Mr. Walker stated that the city does not maintain the property and now that it has the opportunity to return it to someone who does maintain the landscaping on an abandoned property. He felt that the request should be granted. . Adrian Ellis 6521 SW 58th Avenue Supports Mr. Ellis informed the Board that he favors the resolution because if the City had been concerned for the property then Public Works would have kept up with its maintenance. Chairman Morton closed the public hearing. Motion. Ms. Young moved to approve the resolution with the following recommendations. Ms. Beckman seconded. (1) The petitioner shall provide for the recording of all legal documents necessary for the abandonment; (2) The petitioner may not construct any structure, building or part of the building on the reverted property; Planning Board Meeting April 10, 2007 Page 4 of 4 (3) The petitioner shall retain and maintain the existing coral rock wall; (4) The petitioner shall provide the Planning Department evidence that efforts were made to notify the Fellowship First Baptist Church in order to obtain their signature on the petition. (5) Prior to the application being placed before the City Commission the applicant shall provide letters from all three major utility companies advising that they have no easements or interest in the abandoned right-of-way.
