Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Transfer of a Portion of County Owned Right-of-Way for NW 74 Street, also Known as Parcel No. 106, to the Florida Department of Transportation for the Improvements of State Road No. 934 (NW 74 Street) in Accordance with F.S. 125.38 and Authorizing the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to Execute a County Deed Conveying Said Parcel to the Florida Department of Transportation Section: 7-53-40 Commission District 12

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve the transfer of portions of right-of-way for NW 74 Street, also known as Parcel No. 106, to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the improvements of State Road No. 934 (NW 74 Street) in accordance with F.S. 125.38 and authorize the Chairman of the BCC to execute County Deeds conveying in fee simple to FDOT 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 within Commission District 12.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The Property Appraiser�s Office has assessed the adjacent properties to this right-of-way at $21.75 per square foot. Therefore, the estimated value of this right-of-way would be approximately $42,654. 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 tax exempt. 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
FDOT has planned improvements on State Road 934 from NW 107 Avenue to NW 114 Avenue in order to improve vehicular movement in the area. Parcel 106, which is owned by Miami-Dade County, is located on the north side of NW 74 Street at the intersection of NW 113 Court. FDOT is requesting that the County convey Parcel 106 in order to build a sound barrier wall along the north side of NW 74 Street. Additionally, sidewalks and curb and gutters will be replaced, and pedestrian ramps will be reconstructed.

The subject right-of-way was specifically dedicated to Miami-Dade County by the adjacent home owners association to allow for the completion of the proposed sound barrier wall along the north side of NW 74 Street.
