Miami-Dade County just approved a “Workforce Housing” project that will add Townhomes to eastern Miami Springs. That project bypassed Miami Springs zoning by using the Live Local Act on property owned by Miami-Dade Aviation.
However, within the same County Resolution that approved the sale of the Miami-Dade Aviation property to a developer called Habitat Creators, Inc., there was a second section that approved the transfer of the empty lots just west of the Clay Pits from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer to Miami-Dade Aviation.
What empty lots?
The wide open green spaces located between Dove Avenue and Quail Avenue and between Lenape and Hammond is switching hands from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer to Miami-Dade Aviation.
But what the heck is Miami-Dade Aviation going to do with the property?
- Use it to land helicopters?
- Fly drones?
- Turn it into workforce house?
We’ve already seen Miami-Dade County take advantage of the Live Local Act to build residential units in Miami Springs on property owned by Miami-Dade Aviation. If past behavior is a good indication of future performance, neighbors in the area should be aware of the conveyance of this property from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer to Miami-Dade Aviation.
According to Miami-Dade County’s property appraiser’s office, the market value for the population has more than doubled in the last two years from $1.1 Million to $2.5 Million.
Until such time that we receive clarity from Miami-Dade County, Miami Springs residents should be alarmed by the sudden transfer of highly valuable property from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer to Miami-Dade Aviation.
Stay tuned and stay informed.
