Re: Appeal of Zoning Board Resolutions, June 28, 1999
Case Nos. 1999-0225 and 0226; Items 3 and 4
Ivey Real Estate Development II, Corp.
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
This letter constitutes an appeal and request for review by Babylon International, Inc.
(`Babylon") of the above -referenced two resolutions of the City of Miami Zoning Board adopted
on June 28, 1999. The resolutions granted variances from the Zoning Ordinance of minimum
yards. building setbacks and offstreet narking and a special exception for valet parking for a
massive 194,800 square feet, 120-unit residential complex with a restaurant/lounge open to the
public. The proposed complex is to be located next to a residential building owned by Babylon
and abutting the subject property to the Last. The project will have an adverse impact on the use
and value of Babylon's property if the variances and special exception are granted. The
minimum yard next to Babylon's property would be reduced from 15 feet required to only 7.5
feet; the minimum building setback would be reduced from 33.7 feet required to oilly 25.0 feet;
and the minimum parking would be reduced from 122 spaces required to only 84 spaces.

Ms. Teresita Lascaibar Fernandez

The legal grounds for Babylon's appeal are as follows:
1. Neither the written petition nor the record before the Zoning Board demonstrated a legal
hardship or any of the other rriteria for granting a variance under Article 19 of the Zoning
Code, to wit:
(a) The size and shape of the property are not special circumstances,
but are applicable to many other adjacent lands, structures and
buildings in the same zoning district and would not justify the
variances.
(b) These are no special conditions or circumstances related to the
property which would justify the variances.
(c) The minimum yard. setback and parking requirements of the
i Zoning Ordinance do not deprive the owner of rights enjoyed by
others in the same zoning district and do not work unnecessary
and undue hardship on the owner.
(d) The granted variances do not convey the same treatment as to the
owners of other properties in the same zoning district.
(e) The variances are not the minimum to make reasonable use of the
property.
(f) The variances would be injurious to Babylon's abutting property
and detrimental to the neighborhood and the public welfare.
2. The variance of minimum parking was opposed by professional staff and no substantial
competent evidence was presented in the record to support the variance of over 30% of
the required parking for the 120-unit residential complex.
3. The special exception for valet parking is unlawful in that it would utilize required
offstreet parking exclusively for valet use thereby creating parking overflows in the area
which would adversely affect the Babylon property and the neighborhood as a whole.
4. The special exception for valet parking and the parking variance violate Sections 1600
and 1901 of the Zoning Ordinance in that the interrelated parking variance would alter
the limitations imposed upon valet parking by the Zoning Ordinance.

X (a) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved
_ and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district in that: (list
evidence to be produced and use additional sheets, if necessary.)
The setback variances are necessary due to the unusual shape of the. property
(its configuration) and the requirement of the SD-5 district which provides
that the upper level must be setback additional feet for the increase in height.
The parking variance is required due to the stacking of the cars, although more
than required parking will be provided.

1) The applicant has no control over the unusual configuration of the lot nor the
requirements for setbacks on additional heights for lots which are not significant
in width and depth. In addition, the 10 foot alley in the rear provides an
additional buffer for the rear pedestal and rear tower setbacks.
2) Due to the number of -spaces actually being provided, no special conditions
are granted by approval of the parking :variance-
X (c)' Literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance
and would work unnecessary and undue hardships on the petitioner in that:
`s Literal interpretation of the setback and parking requirements of the zoning
ordinance would prohibit the applicant from constructing what is permitted by
the Zoning Ordinance in the SD-5 district.
X (d) Granting the Variance requested will not confer on the petitioner that special privilege that is denied by the
Zoning Ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district in that:

CASE NO: 1999-0225
` Variance pursuant to Article 6. Section 605.8.1 of Ordinance 11000. as amended, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami. Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed
to permit a structure «ith the follo�� ing setbacks:
Pedestal yards below 40 ft. in height:
West propem• line: required: 15 feet
proposed: 4 feet
East property line: required: 15 feet
proposed: 7.5 feet.
Rear property line: required: 15 feet
proposed: 0 feet plus 'lz of alley (5 feet)
. Variance pursuant to Article 6. Section 605.8.2 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami. Florida,
the subject proposal has been reviewed
to permit a structure with the following setbacks:
Tower and pedestal above 40 ft. in height:
West elevation: required:
38.5 feet
proposed:
31.0 feet
South elevation: required:
38.5 feet
proposed:
18.0 feet plus 5 feet alley = 23 feet.
East elevation: required:
38.5 feet
proposed:
25.0 feet
Variance pursuant to Article 6. Section 605.10.1 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed
to permit a structure/use with the following parking:
Required: 121 parking spaces
Proposed: 83 parking spaces
1
In determining the appropriateness of the setback Variances for the proposed
project the folloNving findings have been made:
• It is found that the proposed project will benefit the Downtown District by creating
residential use in the Brickell District to serve Downtown area employees and
residents.
• It is found that the size and shape of the subject property for its location in the
Brickell District is a substantial hardship which limits reasonable use of the property
and therefore justifies the requested setback variances. There are very few remaining
properties within this particular zoning classification (SD-5). which are of such a size.
The special conditions attached to the subject property which justifN the requested
variances are the property's small size and the irregular shape.
• It is found that the proposed project offers the most reasonable solution to the design
problem facing this particular site.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
requested variances with the conditions as specified in the accompanying request for
Special Exceptions.
s
In determining the appropriateness of the parking Variance for the proposed
project the following findings have been made:
• It is found that there is no hardship to justify the requested Variance. Since this
proposal is new construction. it should be designed to comply with parking
requirements.
4
• It is found that the project requires a total of 121 parking spaces and the 122 parking
spaces are being provided: however. all of the 122 parking spaces will be able to be
used for valet parking and 39 of those will be exclusively for valet. This puts the
project in a position of having to request a 38 parking space variance.
• It is found that although the use is compatible with the area. the parking deficit of 38
parking spaces will be detrimental for the project and for the area.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
requested parking variance.
