This request appeal arises from the decision made by the,Zoning Board at their meeting of July 20, 1998. The Board's decision was not based on any substantial competent evidence. Further, there were no issues raised that would give grounds for appeal of a Class II Special Permit Application since there was no demonstration or violation of any of the City's Code requirements. Further, the appeal request submitted by Ms. Alvarez on June 16, 1998 and her reference to an April 7, 1998 letter which states their objections fails to establish any legal grounds for the reversal of the Class I1 Special Permit. We respectfully request that this appeal be scheduled at the earliest possible City Commission meeting of the City of Miami. Additionally, we request that the undersigned by included in any mailing of notices or any other correspondence regarding this matter. AVL/lzc cc: Mr. Clark Cook Stanley P. Price, Esq.

Section 602.3.1. requires explicitly that a Class 11 Special Permit shall be required for the location, relocation or alteration of any structure, parking area or vehicular way or sign visible from a public street. Section 1512 sets forth that unless otherwise required by Zoning Ordinance 11000, as amended; the Code of the City of Miami, as amended-, or the South Florida Building Code, as amended, all City of Miami Design Standards and Guidelines may be waived pursuant to Class II Special Permit. Pursuant to Section 1301.2. of the above cited Zoning Ordinance, the Department of Planning and Development has made referrals to the following Departments and Boards. • Zoning Division, Department of Building and Zoning. • North East Coconut Grove NET Office, Neighborhood Enhancement Team • City of Miami Preservation Officer. Page 1 of 3 Their comments and recommendations have been duly considered and are reflected in this final decision. In reviewing this application, pursuant to Section 1305 of the Zoning Ordinance. the following findings have been made: FINDINGS • It is found that the previously underdeveloped and mostly unimproved site had for years. constituted a gap in the otherwise virtually complete fabric of buildings which make-up the commercial core of Coconut Grove. • It is found thdt the subject proposal, if built, will substantially ameliorate the present dearth of parking in the SD-2 district which negatively impacts all property owners and merchants in the area and indirectly impacts as well all adjacent residential property owners. • It is found that the site selected for the subject proposal is ideal for it will serve to intercept a significant portion of the traffic en route to the many establishments within the SD-2 District thus reducing the traffic impact within the district and contributing towards the pedestrian activity upon which its continued success is contingent. , • It is found that the granting of the subject petition for a waiver of design standards and guidelines optimizes the configuration of the subject parking garage structure, allowing a higher yield of parking spaces, while making the retail uses along the ground floor attractive in appearance, thus promoting the intent of the SD-2 Coconut Grove Central Commercial District. • It is found that the subject development proposal contains a retail and commercial component along the ground floor frontage which appropriately addresses the intended pedestrian orientation of the district; as well as serving to disguise the visual impact of the parking garage use within the building. • It is found that the proposed building is of an elegant, classically inspired, design well suited for this location since it responds to the predominantly rational style in which the buildings adjacent to the subject property have been designed while the functional program of the building. • It is found that the configuration, massing and scale of the subject proposal are appropriate for the site and context and respect the established character and architectural fabric prevalent in the district. The landscaping proposal for the site will play a prominent role in activating the ground level and making it more appealing both to pedestrians and nearby residents. • It is found that the subject site is located within an area of "archaeological sensitivity". As determined by the Dade County Division of Historic Preservation. Based on the above findings and the considered advice of the officers and agencies consulted on this matter and pursuant to Section 1306 of the Zoning Ordinance, this Class II Special Permit is hereby approved with conditions subject to the plans and supporting documentation submitted by the applicant and on file with the Department of Planning and Development and subject to the following condition: Page 2 of 3 r_� w 444 BRICKELL AVENUE, SUITE 1001 MIAM1, FLORIDA 33131 TELEPHONE (305)-377-3343 FACSIMILE (30S) 377-3SOI April ?, 1998 Arthur Noriega, V Director of Planning and Development Department of Off -Street Parking 190 N.

While I understand the many problems inherent in designing and constructing a project like the one referenced above, I want to utilize this letter to reiterate some of the points made during our meeting.. As we discussed, I am both President of F & R Managemen Corp., owner of all of the commercial space as well as one residential unit at Grove Square, and President of Grove Square Condominium Association, Inc. In this latter role I represent not only my company's interests, but also those of the other 80 residential unit owners at Grove Square. At our last condominium association meeting, our board voted unanimously to oppose the referenced parking garage for two reasons: the proposed design allows for no access between Grove Square and the garage and the elevation of the garage facing Grove Square's pool and courtyard area reflects none of the aesthetic touches that were afforded the other three elevations of the building. In my capacity as President of F & R Management Corp., I also strongly object to a government agency building retaillcommercial space for rent, thereby competing with taxpayers' businesses. I recognize that the general zoning for this area requires certain types of retail establishments at ground level. However, based on a demonstrated need for parking in Coconut Grove, the Department of Off -Street Parking could and should have applied to rezone the property for use as a garage or applied for a special exception for same. This would have allowed for greater design freedom for the garage as well as additional, greatly needed parking spaces. Also, there would not be the need to provide parking for the retail/commercial uses shown in the current proposed design. The need in the area is for additional parking, not additional retail/commercial use. THE F & R GROUP PINE5ROOK SOUTH, LTD. RIVERGATE PLAZA, LTO. i 1 CONDITION 9. That tf e applicant retain the services of an archaeological monitor to supervise all ground disturbing activities and to coordinate such work with the Dade County Division of Historic Preservation. NOTICE The final decision of the Director may be appealed to the Zoning Board by any aggrieved party, within fifteen (15) days of the date of issuance by filing a written appeal and appropriate fee with the Office of Hearing Boards, located at 4" S.W. 2"° Avenue, 71h Floor, Miami, Florida 33130.

As the property owner with the most contiguous property adjoining the garage, we would have expected a public agency to contact us concerning their plans prior to finalizing same. We are advised that Lennar was involved in the planning process and the final design, with the majority of the pedestrian traffic directed toward Lennar's Streets of Mayfair project, reflects it. Several years ago, when your agency first planned a parking lot on this property, my partner Frank Hessel contacted Clark Cook about allowing access from the parking lot directly to Grove Square. As you know, the current block wall between Grove Square's commercial area and your agency's land was erected on a temporary basis. Frank was assured that at such time as plans were going to be developed, we would be contacted. Over the past few years Jeff Sharmat from our office has spoken to Mr. Cook several times to inquire as to the status of the project. At no time were we advised that plans were being developed to include retail/commercial use and to block pedestrian access from Grove Square. In fad, at no time has your office contacted either our company or the Association to discuss these matters. We have no reason to believe that either you or Mr. Cook acted in anything other than an honorable manner with regard to the proposed design of the garage. However, as the property owners most affected by this project, we respectfully request that immediate steps be taken with a goal toward achieving the following desirable resuhs: I. A more aesthetically pleasing fagade adjoining our Association's pool and courtyard area. 2. Elimination of the retail/commercial space in this project to allow for additional parking spaces. 1 3. Creating direct pedestrian access from the garage to the rear of Grove Square's commercial area Thank you for your consideration of these matters. cc: Mr. Clark Cook Mayor Joe Carollo Commissioner Arthur Teele Commissioner Thomas Regalado Commissioner Jay L.

Third Street Miami, Florida 33132 Re: Class II Special Permit for parking garage and retail proposed for approximately 3315 Rice Street Dear Mr, Cook -- I understand the proposal made by you, as Executive Director of the City of Miami Department of Off -Street Parking (DOSP), regarding the pending appeal of the Class 11 Special Permit for a parking garage containing retail space proposed to be built on the South-West corner of Oak Avenue and Mary Street to entail the following: DOSP, at its expense, will furnish an opening on the South wall of the garage, to be located so as to coincide with the covered central court of the retail ground floor space of the Grove Square building.
