tree Drive to Chase Avenue and converting the parallel parking on the north side to 90-degree parking spaces.
Miami-Dade Public Works Department requirement does not allow 90-degree on-street parking. Therefore, parallel
parking needs to remain on the north and south side of 40th Street. Meetings on site were conducted with Miami-
Dade Public Works Traffic Engineering and the pavement markings were revised to allow for the maximum number
of legal parking spaces along 40th Street. The BOOR is being amended to comply with Miami-Dade Public Works
County standards. On August 28, 2013 a ~ublic meeting was held to discuss the status of construction. The changes
related to the parking configuration on 40t Street and the change in lane widths were discussed as part of the status
update. There were no comments or concerns from the residents regarding these changes.

Central Bayshore Package A-Amendment to the BOOR
October 16, 2013
Page 2of3
On July 18, 2012, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2012-27972,
approving the amendment to the BOOR for the Bayshore Right of Way improvement project to
include, the implementation of the items agreed to by the City for Home Owners Association
(HOA) requests, provide additional storm water upgrades including valley gutters to the area
known as Zone 4 in the BOOR, as well as complete milling and resurfacing of the roadway in
lieu of an asphalt overlay.
The following changes are either not part of the BOOR, upon which the project design was
developed, or are modifications to the BOOR.
LANE WIDTHS
Since the amendment to the BOOR, the HOA requested that the City investigate further, if the
travel lanes could be reduced to a minimum allowable roadway width, for local and collector
roads. Based on the Federal, County and City standards for roadway design, Public Works
approved 20 feet width for local roads and 22 feet for collector roads. Due to this change in
design, the following items which were included in the previous amendment to the BOOR were
modified as follows:
1. Sheridan Avenue from 28th Street to 40th Street previously approved for 24 feet is
being reduced to 22 feet since it is a collector road.
2. North Meridian Avenue between Dade Boulevard and 28th Street previously approved
at 22 feet is being reduced to 20 feet. As requested by the HOA, Public Works
submitted a modification to FOOT for a revision of the functional classification from a
collector road to a local road. FOOT re-classified Meridian Avenue as a minor
collector which allows the street to be reduced to 20 feet.
3. On 28th Street from Sheridan Avenue to Prairie Avenue was previously approved for
24 feet is being reduced to 20 feet since it is a local road. The section between
Prairie Avenue and Meridian Avenue, which is classified as a collector street, will
remain at 22 feet.
4. On 341h Street from Chase Avenue to Pine Tree Drive was previously approved for 22
feet is being reduced to 20 feet since it is a local road.
40th STREET PARKING
The BOOR includes the removal of on-street parallel parking along the south side of West 401h
Street from Pine tree Drive to Chase Avenue and converting the parallel parking on the north
side to 90-degree parking spaces. The reason for this request was to buffer the roadway and
commercial activity from the residential homes on the south side and to provide additional
parking on the north side due to loss of parking on the south side. Miami-Dade Public Works
Department requirement does not allow 90-degree on-street parking. Therefore, parallel
parking needs to remain on the north and south side of 40th Street. Meetings on site were
conducted with Miami-Dade Public Works Traffic Engineering and the pavement markings
were revised to allow for the maximum number of legal parking spaces along 40th Street. The
current design also provides for additional handicapped parking and the removal of existing
parking spaces which did not meet County standards due to sight visibility constraints. The
overall parking loss will be 6 parking spaces. The BOOR is being amended to comply with
Miami-Dade Public Works County standards.
On August 28, 2013 a public meeting was held to discuss the status of construction. The
changes related to the parking configuration on 40 1h Street and the change in lane widths were
discussed as part of the status update. There were no comments or concerns from the
residents regarding these changes.
