From: Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor

Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Transfer of a Portion of a County Owned Right-of-Way
for NW 14 Street, also Known as Parcel No. 101, to the Miami Dade Expressway
Authority for the Improvement of an Off Ramp for State Road No. 836

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve the transfer of a portion of the right-of-way for NW 14 Street, also known as Parcel No. 101, to the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) for the improvement of State Road No. 836 in accordance with F.S. 125.38 and authorize the Chairman of the BCC to execute a County Deed conveying in fee simple to MDX the subject parcel. The Public Works and Waste Management Department (PWWM) has no objection to this right-of-way being transferred.

Scope
The property to be conveyed is located in Commission District 3.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The Property Appraiser�s Office has assessed the adjacent properties to this right-of-way at $15.12 per square foot. Therefore, the total estimated value of this right-of-way would be approximately $494.27. Conveying this portion of right-of-way will not result in an increase in revenue from property taxes since land use as right-of-way is exempt from paying taxes. There is a positive fiscal impact since PWWM will not be responsible for the maintenance of the subject parcel.

Track Record/Monitor
PWWM is the entity overseeing this project and the person responsible for monitoring this acquisition is Mr. Raul A. Pino, Chief, Land Development/Right-of-Way Division.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
MDX has planned improvements to the westbound off ramp of State Road No. 836 to NW 14 Street in order to improve vehicular movement in the area. Parcel 101, which is owned by Miami-Dade County, is located on the north side of NW 14 Street approximately 165 feet east of the intersection with NW 10 Avenue. MDX is requesting that the County convey Parcel 101 in order to build an additional right turn lane. The subject right-of-way was specifically dedicated to Miami-Dade County by the adjacent property owner for the use as a public road.
