JUSTIFICATION: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Miami-Dade County Public Works Department are planning roadway improvements along County Road 934 (NW 74th Street), from NW 107th Avenue to NW 114th Avenue.

Parcels 107 and 700, both owned by the County, are located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of NW 74th Street and NW 112th Ave. FDOT is requesting that the County convey all of Parcel 107 and grant a temporary construction easement on Parcel 700 in order to add an additional westbound travel lane along NW 74th Street and unite the County-owned property with the roadway elevation.

The project will add a lane and upgrade existing roadway features. The completed project will result in a 6-lane roadway with curbing, gutter and sidewalks. The planned improvements to the roadway will benefit the surrounding community.

The parcels are located along the south property line of the County parcel abutting NW 74th Street. Parcel 107 contains approximately 3,009 square feet and Parcel 700 contains approximately 1,630 square feet. The parcels are legally described on the accompanying Legal Description and Right of Way Parcel Sketches entitled Exhibit �A.�

The Property Appraiser�s Office has assessed both County parcels at $3.20 per square foot. Therefore, the estimated value of the combined parcels is approximately $14,800.00. Miami-Dade County is conveying the parcels without monetary compensation. The conveyance of the parcels will have no fiscal impact to Miami-Dade County and will not impact property taxes since land utilized for government use or right-of-way is exempt from taxes.

Florida Statutes Section 125.38 authorizes the Board of County Commissioners to convey property to the State of Florida, a political subdivision of the State of Florida or one of its agencies when the Board is satisfied that the property is not needed for County purposes and will be utilized for the benefit of the public or community interest and welfare. The County Deed contains a restriction that states that the property shall be utilized solely for the construction of an additional westbound travel lane along NW 74th Street. In the event that the Property is not used for these

purposes within ten (10) years from the execution of the deed, the property shall automatically revert to Miami-Dade County.

The waiver of, is requested as part of this item.

Track Record/Monitor:

MONITOR: Scott W. Mendelsberg, Assistant Director, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department

DELEGATED AUTHORITY: Authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to take all actions necessary to accomplish the conveyance of the property.

COMMENTS: Staff has determined by circulation to County Departments that said parcels are not needed for any other County purpose. Due to the fact that the properties are located within the boundaries of the City of Doral, it is recommended that Administrative Order 8-4, which requires that this disposition be reviewed by the Planning Advisory Board, be waived.
