Bay Road <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />This Resolution is presented for your consideration. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />As you know, the City's Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2000, requires the City to <br />construct an Emergency Bridge between 172nd Street and 174th Street. Based on research, <br />the proposed Emergency Bridge connecting North Bay Roadfrom 172nd Street will <br />minimize the use of Collins A venue by providing an alternative evacuation north- <br />south route for pedestrians and emergency vehicles and will also serve as an <br />emergency evacuation route in the event of a hurricane or other disasters. <br /> <br />During the permitting process, it was determined that the City must acquire certain <br />submerged land in order to place support structures in the water for the bridge. The City <br />must acquire approximately between .14 acres and .20 acres of submerged land to <br />construct the Emergency Bridge. It is important to note that Miami-Dade County has <br />directed the City to acquire the submerged land by eminent domain. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Section 166.401, Florida Statutes, the City has the authority to condemn <br />private property for public use. If the fee simple interest of the submerged land is not <br />vested in the City, the City will not be able to comply with state law and its <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />1 Attachment <br /> <br />http://sibagenda. sibfl.net/ agenda/Preview.aspx?I temID=6 71 &MeetingID=O&MeetingDate... 12/9/2011 <br />
