West Grove Residents Consider Next Steps in Fight Over Industrial Trolley Garage
MIAMI, FL, August 21, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ — The team of lawyers representing West Grove residents in a battle with the City of Miami are considering the best path for appeal after a circuit judge’s determination on Aug. 16 that he does not have jurisdiction to intervene in the case. Eleventh Circuit Judge Ronald Dresnick provided a full hearing of competing motions for summary judgment in the case revolving around the City of Miami’s approval for locating a maintenance facility to house and service the trolley fleet that serves Coral Gables. The hearing on cross motions for summary judgment was intended to determine whether or not the trolley garage met the city’s own standards of allowable uses for the property as it is zoned, but Judge Dresnick said that he did not have authority to overrule the zoning decision.
