In Favor Of The City Of Miami Beach, (The Applicant); Waiving By 5/7th Vote, The Competitive Bidding And
Appraisal Requirements Pursuant To Section 82-39(A)And (B)Of The City Code, Finding That The Public Interest
, Would Be Served By Waiving Such Conditions.

over 81% of residents rated recently completed capital improvement projects as "excellent" or "good". Recently
completed capital improvement projects(81%), storm drainage(37%),and condition of roads(44%).
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On May 3, 2012, the City of Miami Beach entered into an architectural design contract with premier architect Zaha
Hadid Limited and Berenblum Busch Architecture Inc., for these firms to design the proposed Collins Park Garage.
The Garage has been designed with retail on the first floor, and upper levels with public parking spaces. The City
owns the properties upon which the garage will be built, including lots 7, 9, and 11 of Block 2 of the Amended Map
of the Ocean Front Property of the Miami Beach Improvement Company(Plat Book 5, Page 7); and Lots 1, 3, 5, 7
and 9 of Block 1 of the Amended Map of the Ocean Front Property of the Miami Beach Improvement Company(Plat
Book 5, Page 7). Between blocks 1 and 2 is Liberty Avenue, a 50 foot wide public right-of-way consisting of
approximately 12,500 square feet, see attached Property Legal Description and Sketch (Exhibit A) and Adjacent
Properties Survey(Exhibit B).
The City's Capital Improvement Projects Office reviewed the proposed architectural plans with planning, public
works, the fire department, and the building department. The architectural design includes the development of a
pedestrian plaza within Liberty Avenue between 22nd Street and 23rd Street. The parking garage structure also
encroaches into Liberty Avenue and the air rights above Liberty Avenue are being utilized by the parking structure
to cross over from Block 1 onto Block 2, see Proposed Collins Park Place Ground Floor Plan(Exhibit C). In order for
the proposed parking garage structure be able to obtain a building permit,the right-of-way needs to be vacated.As
Liberty Avenue has been contemplated to be a pedestrian public plaza, with no vehicular access, and as the City
owns all the parcels adjacent to Liberty Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets(the City owns lots 1-10 on Block 1
and owns lots 7,9, 11,4,6,8, 10 and 12 of Block 2), should Liberty Avenue be vacated,title to the vacated right-of-
way would transfer to the adjacent property owners,which would be the City of Miami Beach, therefore there would
be no financial impact to the City.Also, utility easements will be granted, as required.
The City must comply with the requirements of Chapter 82-36 through 82-40, of the City Code, which requires
certain actions prior to effectuating a vacation. The City Commission is to hold two separate meeting dates, one of
which, was held on February 11, 2015, which was accompanied with a public hearing in which the City obtained
citizen input into the proposed vacation, and also requires the review of the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee(FCWPC),which item was heard during the FCWPC meeting of February 2,2015,and which Committee
recommended to the City Commission to proceed with the vacation. Section 82-38 requires the Planning
Department to prepare an analysis of the vacation. The Planning Department prepared the analysis of the vacation
(Exhibit D) on February 11, 2015. The Planning Department reviewed the six (6) criteria elements for vacating
Liberty Avenue and found these criteria to have been satisfied. This item is being presented at this Commission
meeting to comply with the requirements of Chapter 82,to hold two separate meetings.
The Administration recommends approval of the resolution.

BACKGROUND
On May 3, 2012, the City of Miami Beach entered into an architectural design contract with premier
