On May 14, 2021, Owner purchased Parcel 1 from M-4000 Alton Owner, LLC., and on August 19, 2021, Owner purchased Parcel 2 from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

On December 2021, the City's Design Review Board approved plans for a nine-story, 176-unit apartment complex on the Property (File No. DRB21-0664) (the “Project”). On February 2023, the Owner commenced construction of the Project, which is set to be completed in the Fall of 2024.

The City owns a 36-inch (36’’) transmission water main (the “Water Main”), located along the south side of the 41^st Street/Julia Tuttle Causeway and a portion of the Water Main falls within the northern portion of Parcel 2.  The City anticipates that such Water Main may be upgraded, expanded, relocated and/or replaced in the future. Owner has agreed to grant a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive Utility Easement Agreement for Water Main (“Water Main Easement”), having an easement area containing approximately 4,989 square feet (“Easement Area”), along the northwesterly portion of Grantor’s Property, for the City to construct, install, operate, maintain, repair, replace, upgrade, relocate, expand, remove and/or abandon all or a portion of the Water Main, together with the non-exclusive right of ingress, egress and regress on, over and through the Grantor’s property for access to the Easement Area.   The approval of the Water Main Easement will be submitted pursuant to a separate City Commission agenda item.

Owner would like to plat the Property under the name of “Alton 3900” and include Parcels 1 and 2 in the Plat so that the legal description for all of the Property shall be consistent. 

Chapter 28, of the Miami-Dade County Code, is the guiding authority for the entirety of Miami-Dade County, Florida as it relates to the subdivision of land.  Miami-Dade County (the “County”) controls all division of land, relating to the plat thereof, and the municipalities of Miami-Dade County may choose to have their own plat committee, or simply have the County’s plat division review tentative plats, re-plats, and the final plats. 

The City of Miami Beach does not have its own plat division.  Prior to taking action on approving this new Plat within the jurisdiction of Miami Beach, the County requires authorization, if deemed appropriate, by the City to proceed.  Pursuant to Section 177.081, Florida Statutes, prior to approving a plat, the governing body is required to have a professional surveyor and mapper review the Plat to ensure compliance with Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.  Owner has secured approval of the Alton 3900 Tentative Plat #T-24696 from the City’s professional surveyor and mapper and the County, and now seeks approval of the final Plat. Longitude Surveyors, LLC (“Longitude”), a professional surveyor and mapper retained by the City, has reviewed the final Plat and has found the final Plat to be in compliance with Chapter 177, Florida Statutes and Chapter 28 of the County Code.   Owner shall be responsible for all costs related to the platting process including, without limitation, the reimbursement to the City for any consulting fees related to Longitude’s work and a platting consultant.
