North Beach Town Center Development, LLC, as successor in interest to Oliveira Plaza Associates, LLC (“Developer”),is the owner of the properties located at 300 71st Street, 326 71st Street, 6985, 6961, 6948, 6956, 6964, 6972, 6988 Abbott Avenue, and 6972 Harding Avenue (the "Developer’s Properties").  The Developer intends to construct a multistory mixed-use project, including residential, parking garage and retail uses (the "Development") on the Developer’s Properties.  The Developer’s application for the Development has been approved by the Design Review Board (DRB), via DRB File No. 19-0424.

In connection with the work related to the Development, the Developer has requested that the City release a 10-foot easement running East/West, along the southerly 10 feet of lots 3 and 16, of Block 12, of the Plat of Normandy Beach South, recorded in Plat Book 21, at Page 54 (the “Plat”), relating to a City utility easement, recorded in O.R. Book 6386, at Pages 438, 440, and 443 of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County (“City’s Private Easement”).

Furthermore, the Developer has requested that the City release its right to access, operate and maintain utilities within a 5 foot reservation easement, as noted on said Plat (note: a strip of land 5-feet wide is reserved in the rear of each lot), particularly described as: Lots 1-5 and Lots 16-18, of Block 12; and Lots 3-5 and Lots 7-10, of Block 13, according to said Plat (“Platted Easement”).

The City's Private Easement contains electrical and water facilities and the Platted Easement contains water facilities. 

The Developer has requested that the City execute a Termination and Release Agreement of the City’s Private Easement and that the City release its interest in the Platted Easement, lying within the property limits of the Developer’s Properties (collectively, the “Impacted Easement Areas”), in that, the proposed Development will encompass the Impacted Easement Areas (the “Developer’s Request”).

The Developer has consulted with the Public Works Department to coordinate the potential relocation of the existing utility facilities, as part of the development permitting process.  Additionally, the Developer has secured letters of no objection from utility and telecommunication companies who serve the Developer’s Properties and the adjoining impacted properties (“Adjoining Impacted Properties”), including, Teco Peoples Gas, Atlantic Broadband, FPL, AT&T, Crown Castle Fiber.  The Adjoining Impacted Properties shall refer to the remaining property owners in Blocks 12 and 13 of the Plat; to wit:  Lots 13, 14, and 15 of Block 12, and Lots 1, 2, 6, and the west 50 feet of Lots 1 and 12, of Block 13.  Lot 6 of Block 12 is currently in negotiation with the Developer.

In connection with the Developer’s Request, the Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the removal, relocation, and replacement of the utility facilities located within the Developer’s Properties and Adjoining Impacted Properties, subject to approval, by the City, of the new locations and the type of new utility facilities to be installed (the “Utility Facilities Relocation Project”).  Since the Impacted Easement Areas also serve the Adjoining Impacted Properties, the Developer has agreed to:  (1) construct new utility facilities, as may be requested by the City, that will provide the required functionality and capacity for the Developer Properties and Adjoining Impacted Properties; (2) secure all required consents or other legal rights to conduct work on the Adjoining Impacted Properties in connection with the Utility Facilities Relocation Project, which will include the relocation of some utility facility components lying within the Adjoining Impacted Properties including, without limitation, water and/or irrigation facilities and meters; and (3) not commence the foundation or clearing work on the Developer’s Properties until such time as the Developer has completed the Utility Facilities Relocation Project.  Developer shall also pay for any costs associated with the City’s approval of the new utility easements including, without limitation, recording fees, title search fees, and professional services related to the preparation of surveys, opinions of title and any other additional costs related to the Development approval process.
