Subject: Road Closing Petition P-900
Section: 04-53-41
NW 33 Avenue, from NW 100 Street to NW 101 Street
Commission District: 2

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

Scope
This road closing is located within Commissioner Jean Monestime�s District 2.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The Property Appraiser�s Office has assessed the adjacent property to this right-of-way at $1.66 per square foot. Therefore, the estimated value of this right-of-way would be approximately $14,900.00. If this right-of-way is closed and vacated, the land will be placed on the tax roll, generating an estimated $276.00 per year in additional property taxes. The fee for this road closing is $2,290.00.

Track Record/Monitor
PWWM is the entity overseeing this project and the person responsible for monitoring is Mr. Leandro O�a, P.E., Chief, Roadway Engineering and Right-of-Way Division.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The property owners abutting NW 33 Avenue, from NW 100 Street to NW 101 Street, have joined in signing the petition to close this right-of-way in order to incorporate the land into their property to be enhanced and maintained. The right-of-way being closed has never been improved nor maintained by Miami-Dade County and has a substandard width of 32 feet. Furthermore, there is a well established traffic grid in the neighborhood; therefore, this action will not adversely impact traffic flow or continuity of traffic in the area.

The subject right-of-way was dedicated in 1921, by �THE TROPICS ADDITION�, recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 91, of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The area surrounding the subject right-of-way is zoned RU-1 (Single Family Residential District).
