NW 6 Court, from NW 116 Terrace to NW 117 Street
Commission District: 2

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) grant the attached Road Closing Petition following a public hearing. The Miami-Dade County Departments of Planning and Zoning, Public Works, Water and Sewer and Fire Rescue have no objection to this right-of-way being closed.

Scope
This road closing is located within Commission District 2.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
All the properties abutting the right-of-way to be abandoned are tax exempt. Therefore, granting of this petition will not result in an increase in revenue from property taxes. The inclusion of this additional area (approximately 7,012 square feet) will not create a fiscal impact to the Park and Recreation Department.

Track Record/Monitor
Not Applicable

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The petitioner, Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation, wishes to close the right-of-way for NW 6 Court from NW 116 Terrace to NW 117 Street to incorporate the land into its property and fully develop as a park. The right-of-way being closed has never been improved nor maintained by Miami-Dade County. This action will not adversely impact traffic flow or continuity of traffic in the area.

The subject right-of-way was dedicated in 1925, by the plat of PARKWOOD TERRACE, recorded in Plat Book 22, Page 3, of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The subject right-of-way is zoned BU-2 (Special Business District).
