WHEREAS, Terra Doral Commons Residential, LLC and Terra Doral Commons Commercial, LLC are the owners of the properties in Section 8, Township 53 South and Range 40 East which are encumbered by those rights in reservation given to Miami-Dade County in 1962 by the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District, later known as the South Florida Water Management District, to be used for water management and flood protection in connection with the Miami-Dade County Water Control Master Plan; and

Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Release of Unneeded Canal Reservation in the City of Doral, Miami-Dade County (WC-886)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached resolution authorizing the execution of a Miami-Dade County Disclaimer for the release of unneeded canal reservation in the City of Doral in Section 8, Township 53 South and Range 40 East, Miami-Dade County.

Scope
The site is in Commission District 12 (Commissioner Diaz) along NW 74 Street between NW 97 Avenue and NW 107 Avenue in the City of Doral.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
This item has no fiscal impact for the County and does not require the expenditure of County funds.

Track Record / Monitor
The Water Control Section Manager, Maria Molina, P.E., within the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, Division of Environmental Resources Management, will be responsible for tasks related to this transaction.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
In 1962, the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District, later known as the South Florida Water Management District, gave to the County a canal reservation in northwestern Miami-Dade County. Under Florida Flood Control District Deed No. 81, the rights in reservation were for canal and water management purposes in connection with the Miami-Dade County Water Control Master Plan over the south 130 feet of Section 8, Township 53 South and Range 40 East. Site diagrams are included in the attachments.

The two (2) properties encumbered by the above-stated canal reservation are owned by Terra Doral Commons Residential, LLC and Terra Doral Commons Commercial, LLC, both Florida limited liability companies. These companies plan to develop the properties and have requested the release of the canal reservation along NW 74 Street between NW 97 Avenue and NW 107 Avenue, less a 100 foot section owned by the City of Doral. There is no existing canal along NW 74 Street and the Miami-Dade Water Control Master Plan shows no proposed canal at that location. In consideration of this, the canal reservation, with total area of 15.40 acres, is no longer needed for canal and water management purposes.

It is therefore recommended that the Board approve the attached resolution authorizing the execution of a Miami-Dade County Disclaimer for the release of unneeded canal reservation in the City of Doral in Section 8, Township 53 South, and Range 40 East, Miami-Dade County.
