Re: Quit Claim Deed from 3yth Street Realty Corp., Inc. to City of Miami Beach
for approximately 0.086 Acres of Green Space on the Westside of 3yth
Street and Indian Creek Drive (the Property)
Dear Mr. Supraski:
The City Clerk's Office and the City Attorney's Office have been conducting a
review of pending and/or unresolved matters pertaining to past City transactions.
In the course of this review, I am attaching City of Miami Beach Resolution No.
99-23409, which accepted a Quit Claim Deed from your client, 3yth Street Realty
Corp., Inc., to the City, for the above-referenced Property (as legally described in
the attached Resolution). I am also attaching a copy of the Quit Claim Deed
which you prepared, conveying the Property to the City.
I have reviewed the records of the Office of the Miami-Dade County Clerk and
find that the attached Deed was never recorded by the City although as you will
note from the attached copy, a recordation form was filled out in and around
September 4th, 2002. At this time, the City would of course like to record the
attached Deed, thereby formally resolving this transaction and finalizing the
transfer of legal ownership in the Property (via recorded title) to the City.
As we have been unable to find an ORIGINAL EXECUTED QUIT CLAIM DEED
in our files, I would respectively request that you check your files on this matter
and see whether you can locate the original Quit Claim Deed. In the event that
we cannot locate the original Deed, it will be necessary to execute a new Deed.
Upon execution of the new Deed, the City will of course assume all costs
associated with recordation of same.
1700 Convention Center Drive -- Fourth Floor -- Miami Beach, Hodda 33139
Should you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to
contact me. While I realize this matter has been outstanding for some time, and
as the City wishes to resolve this in an expeditious manner, please contact me
should you require any assistance. In the interim, thank you for your anticipated
cooperation and professional courtesy.

~very t~ulY yours, _\
