ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE REQUEST
APPROXIMATELY: 601 NW 7th Street Road
CASE NO: 02-0020
The requested proposal has been reviewed for changes to the Zoning Atlas of Zoning
Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida. The
said proposal will change the current zoning designation from (R-3) "Multifamily
Medium Density Residential' to (PR) "Parks and Recreation". The subject property
consists of a park known as the Spring Gardens Point Park located at 601 NW 7t' Street
Road. The subject park is located immediately adjacent to the Miami River, more
particularly described as Lot 18 Less the Northern 2 Feet of the Eastern 140 Feet, of
Block 12, SPRING GARDEN SUBDIVISION, according to the Plat thereof as recorded
in Plat Book 5 at Page 38 of the Public Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida.
The changes are proposed to accommodate a City of Miami Park known as the Spring
Gardens Point Park located at 601 NW 7`h Street Road. The subject Park is located
adjacent to Miami River in the Spring Gardens Historic community. This proposed
change is consistent with the actual use of the subject property.
The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending approval of this
amendment as presented based on the following findings:
• It is found that this is the location of the existing Spring Gardens Point Park.
• It is found that the proposed zoning change is consistent with the existing use of
the property located at 601 NW 7Street Road.
• It is found that the subject property is located in an area that is adjacent to the
Miami River in the Spring Gardens Historic designated community; therefore the
proposed zoning change is consistent with the intent of the area.
• It is found that the subject property is the historical site of the tourist attraction
"Alligator Joe".
• It is found that the subject change is positive and will not impose an adverse
effect on the adjacent properties.
Based on these findings, the Department of Planning and Zoning is
recommending approval of the requested Amendment to the Zoning Atlas of
Zoning Ordinance 11000, as amended,, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Miami, Florida.

Looking for Alligator Joe
By: Jim Broton
For over three years, I've been trying to find
information about Warren Frazee, a.k.a. Alligator Joe.
When I first heard about him I thought it would be
eiuy. After all, I read that around the tum of the
century he was known all along the east coast of the
United States. Surely someone over the years must've
done some scholarly work on his life. I was
expecting to find if not a whole book, at least a
chapter on him somewhere. Or maybe someone's
Master's thesis. But after three years of looking I
haven't found anything like that, and although I think
I now know more about Alligator Joe than just about
anybody (I'm still hoping to find that elusive expert),
there's still so much yet to learn.
I started by reading what turned out to be the. best
source of information – The Miami River and its
Tributaries by Don Gaby. What I read there I soon
found wasn't necessarily supported by what I was
learning on my own. In the book I read that Alligator
Joe: had a tourist attraction at the junction of the
Miami River and Wagner Creek (now the Seybold
Canal) in the early 1900s. The book said that it was
across the canal and not in Spring Garden. That
contradicted what long-time residents had been telling
A: 1918 Sanborn map. Note John Seyboid's house (upper right)
B. Enlargement of ca. 1918 aerial photograph of the same scene.
C. "Alligator Joe's Bungalow in the Jungle, FLA" ea. 1905... is
this the large circular structure (above) and his Miami attraction?
�J
me. So I turned to the newspapers of the day, which
are available at the Metro -Dade Public Library on
microfilm, and started looking for mention of
Alligator Joe. I viewed several reels before I found
definitive proof that Alligator Joe's attraction was
indeed in Spring Garden, at the site of what is now
Spring Garden Point Park.
When I finally met Don Gaby after corresponding
with him for about a year I was pleased to discover
that he welcomed my research, and gave me leads to
do more. He said that his book was the most detailed
account of Alligator Joe that he'd seen, and he
depended on interviews to fill in the blanks.
In the past year, someone else found what has
turned out to be the most useful piece of information
so far about Alligator Joe. Bruce Barnes was going
through aerial photographs at the Historical Museum
of Southern Florida, trying to find evidence of boat
docks at the site of Point Park. He found a photo of
the southern tip of Spring. Garden that was taken
before there were many houses on the site.
When I saw a photocopy of it, I immediately
recognized its similarity to a 1921 Sanborn map of
the site that I had reconstructed for the 1999-2000
Spring Garden calendar. The small inlet extending
west from
the Miami River is no longer there, and
does not appear on later maps.
Another recognizable landmark on the photograph
is John Seybold's estate, visible in the upper right
corner. Seybold built his house in approximately
1915, and he owned at that time the Point Park site
(and indeed all of Spring Garden). I'm assuming that
it still looked as it did before Alligator Joe died in
1915.
Beside the inlet, there is another prominent feature
on the site that appear to be surrounded by a driveway
or walkway — a large circular building. When I saw
it, a picture immediately came to mind of a postcard
that I have (pictured) of Alligator Joe's "bungalow"
that doesn't mention its location. Since.I previously
had not been able to find a description or picture of
Alligator Joe's attraction, I don't know how it should
look. But the aerial photograph leads me to believe
that this is Alligator Joe's Miami attraction.
The photo raises more questions than it solves.
What is the circular area to the right of the large one?
Is it, as Bruce suggested, a pit where Alligator Joe
wrestled alligators? And where did Alligator Joe live
with his wife Della? Could that be the rectangular
structure on . the map that isn't seen in the picture?
The search continues.
