The City Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached
resolution determining it to be in the public interest of the City of Miami Beach (City) to
call a public hearing to consider vacating the described rights-of-way and abandoning
existing City owned utilities.
BACKGROUND
On March 31, 1989, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency entered into an Agreement
with Cobb Partners Development, Inc., for the construction of a town-home project in an
effort to stimulate development in the South Pointe Redevelopment area. The First Phase
of said project encompasses the area bounded by Alton Road on the west, Meridian
Avenue on the east, First Street on the south, and Second Street on the north.
To date the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency has expended public funds in excess of
$6,000,000 to assemble the properties necessary for this phase of the project,which includes
the following rights-of-way:
a) a seventy (70) foot roadway known as Jefferson Avenue, located between 1st
and 2nd Street, in Ocean Beach Addition No. 3, as recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 81, of
the public records of Dade County, Florida; and,
b) a fifteen (15) foot roadway known as Meloy Court, located between Meridian
Avenue and Alton Road, within Blocks 78 and 80 of Ocean Beach Addition No. 3, as
recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 81, of the public records of Dade County, Florida; and,
c) a twenty (20) foot roadway known as Meridian Court, located between Meloy
Court and 2nd Street, within Block 78 of Ocean Beach Addition No. 3, as recorded in Plat
Book 2, Page 81, of the public records of Dade County, Florida.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Redevelopment Agency is obliged to deliver
the First Phase parcel to Cobb Partners by August of 1993 or risk losing a $500,000 deposit
and any interest that may have accrued. The Development Agreement also stipulates that,
prior to closing, the Redevelopment Agency would fully cooperate with Cobb Partners'
efforts to obtain vacation of the rights-of-way and abandonment of existing City owned
utilities within said rights-of-way.
The City Administration believes that the development of the site is in the public interest
of the City of Miami Beach and the timely commencement of the First Phase of the project
is deemed to be of the utmost importance, because it would help stimulate additional
development in the South Pointe area. Calling a public hearing for the purpose of vacating
the rights-of-way located within the First Phase Parcel of the Cobb Project would facilitate
this process.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, by adopting the attached resolution calling for a public hearing for
the purpose of vacating the rights-of-way as shown on Exhibit "A" attached, and known as
Jefferson Avenue located between 1st and 2nd Street, Meloy Court located between
Meridian Avenue and Alton Road, and Meridian Court located between Meloy Court and
2nd Street, is thereby assisting with the Redevelopment Agency's efforts to satisfy their
contractual obligations with Cobb Partners.
