REFERENCES : Resolution No. 88-1212 City At 0 ENCLOSURES : This is in response to your request for a legal opinion wherein you asked substantially the following question: WHETHER ALL STATE OF nORIDA PREREQUISITES POR REMOVAL OF TREES ON CORAL WAY, PURSUANT . TO CITY COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 88-1212, H/WI': BEEN SA'rISFIEO? The answer to your query is in the affirmative. At the City Commission meeting of December 15, 1988, you asked "What is the ruling from the State of Florida on the moving of Banyan Trees on Coral Way?" In response, Assistant City Attorney, Joel E. Maxwell, stated thl:lt the State of Plorida had deferred to the City on the matter of tree removal inasmuch as Coral Way is a Scenic Corridor protected by the City's Heritl:lge Conservation Aoard. Thus, the City's regulations would govern. On June 7, 1984, the State of Florida designated Coral Way as a State Historic Highw"lY. Ch. 84-379, Laws of PIa.. (the "Act"). The Act provides, inter alia, that: Section 2. Coral Way is hereby designated as a state historic highway. No state funds shall be expended by any publIC ;' .:. <"'::. body or agency for any of the following , ".':1 ~ ~ , ,.:, :';J purposes: ,:!. '.cD \:.:. .::> '" rT" ­ ~ c- -: "..

The te~m "o~clinary maintenance" means those activities necessa~y to p~ese~ve the existing traffic patte~ns including left turn lanes and median crossings and to accommodate the volume of traffic ope~ating on Coral \~ay on the effective date of this act. However, the p~eservation of Co~al Wav and the median landscaping take priority over considerations of traffic management, and the public safety shall not be construed to require alterations in Co~al Way or the median landscaping when alternative means of promoting safety, including more restrictive traffic regulations, are available. Section 3. Prior to the pe~formance of any work nec.essa~y for the publ ic heal th or safety that requires removal in it~ entirety of any tree within the median of Co ral Way, the agency . having jurisdi.ction OlTer the portion of Coral Way involve3 shall hold an advertlsed pUblic meeting to present findings of fact necessltatlng said work and removal of trees.

Community Background Report City of West Miami County Miami-Dade Boundaries North: S.W. 8th Street South: S.W. 24th Street West: S.W. 67th Avenue East: S.W. 57th Avenue Community Type Municipality History The City of West Miami occupies three quarters of a square mile in western Miami-Dade County. West Miami is nestled between S.W 8th Street, better known to residents as “Calle Ocho”, and "Coral Way" or S.W. 24th Street. The community is landlocked between Hialeah, Miami Lakes, and Coral Gables. The city dates back to 1947 when four businessmen decided to incorporate the area west of Miami. The decision came in response to the Miami-Dade County's decision to reduce cocktail hours and ban gambling. The businessmen, along with a group of residents decided they did not want to lose their cocktail hours and gambling rooms. Each of the four men invested $400 in bonds and then conjured possible names for the town including West Haven, West Gate and West Miami.
