Topic of annexations in Doral is back to the table


It’s of important concern for me to resume the topic of the annexations of three very important areas inside the Doral boundaries, today under the administration of the Miami-Dade County. These are defined as Sections 6, 15 and 16, they have been for us a thorough review and since some time ago, our City Council has taken some actions in the achievement of a sole objective and such areas to become part of our City.
Allow me to make a description of each section, understanding that our city grows daily with new residents, which need to be informed of these important developments.

Section 6

A square mile, built by its northern with NW 106th St. South, 90th St of the NW. East, of 107th Ave. From the NW and West from the Florida Turnpike.
From the infrastructure point of view, section 6 represents an attractive for the city; we will have an area of plain development given to the office range, industries and commerce that have been established there.

These characteristics, could possibly allow new incomes to the city that can be around $900,000 coming from taxes. This axis that additionally has plots of residential land that are not yet developed, summarizes Doral as another attractive for new inversions within the zone, by which the city is in capacity of addressing, and it could even suit up to the interests of our residents as entrepreneurs in the zone, the meaning of this is, that we’ll continue planning its growth over the base of our needs according to the established rules by the Miami-Dade in planning, zoning and construction matters.
We would also assume commitments with the maintenance of streets (10 miles) that will be incorporated of the annexation of Section 6 and other services such as Public Safety and Parks.
Definitely, for being surrounded by developments I would assure that the residents will want more service businesses, recreational and sport areas, with the goal of creating a sense of belonging in the Northern part of the city with that area and the sole shopping center in the Flagler Station, in which, as a matter of fact; operates two formation and studies center that bring attention to our children of Doral.

Section 15

Comprise .87 squared miles, in which boundaries are the following: North: NW 74th St., South: NW 58th St, East: SR 826 and West: NW 87th Avenue.  Today, in an industrial zone otherwise constituted we are sure that with the industrials installed there we could plan services to the worker and entrepreneurial sector that it’s found there.

We have no doubt that this zone hosts Doral, so for us it is needed to bring the attention and grow based on this axe in which it also represents new incomes, that would be reinvested in maintenance of 16.8 miles of highways, sidewalk constructions, green areas. In addition, we would emphasize the transportation services and even more in public safety matters that could be imply through the joint efforts and strategies that benefit the industrial force in the zone.
With the Miami-Dade County, we will establish agreements with the arrangements to understand all of the other areas and services that require the participation of both entities.
In relation to the revenues, it would be around $1,300,000 a quantity that could be reinvested in the zone.

Section 16

North: NW 74th St; South: NW 58th St; East: NW 87th Ave; West: NW 97th Ave. of the NW. It’s the old garbage landfill. An area that by its use throughout the years, today it could be and area that oxygenates our city to the service of specially our youth and athletes.

This field could be used for the practice of mountain bike and soccer courts, serving our youth and would be better used by our community. As a matter of fact, 97th Ave in which will be open very soon is soon all the way to 74th Ave., is one of the investments that will not only help the mobility within the area, but we’ll also plan other services that would go in hand with this great park that is being considered in the heart of the city.

Our Actions

As mentioned in the beginning of this note, our City Council has not thrown out the possibility of achieving these annexations. Since I was elected as Mayor of the City of Doral, three possible resolutions have been raised to the Miami-Dade County. They have accepted it and we know that we have taken these three applications for its respective reviews/analysis.
About this matter, we have been working thanks to the efforts that of League of the Cities and its chair Cindy Lennar, Mayor of the Pinecrest Village. We have exchanged opinions with our neighbor townships, especially with the City of Medley, which also shows interest in the topic due to that some of the mentioned areas also touch this city.
We continue to work in this matter. We have no doubt that the annexation of these three important sections, are extremely essential to our city.
