No. 037-95) APPELLANT Gary L. Baumgartner. CITY COMMISSION APPLICATION NUMBER 95- 368 Page 1 April 3, 1995 35- 433 W-1 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED VARIANCE APPLICATION NUMBER 94- 368 Yes No N/A X 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. X The special conditions and circumstances are a direct result from the actions of the petitioner. X Literal interpretation of the provisions of Zoning Ordinance 11000 deprives the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this zoning ordinance and works unnecessary and undue hardship on the petitioner. X Granting the variance requested conveys the same treatment to the individual owner as to the owner of other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. X The variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that makes possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. X The grant of this variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this zoning ordinance and is not injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. April 3, 1995 Page 2 9�� 433 s. PUBLIC WORKS RECOMMENDATIONS: Driveway visibility triangles are essential for vehicular and pedestrian safety. Shipping Avenue is zoned as a standard 50 foot wide roadway and is a "through" street connecting S.W. 27 and 32 Avenues with a 30 m.p.h. legal speed limit. The edge of the driving lane is approximately 15 feet from the property line less than the length of an automobile. In order to exit the driveway, the front or rear of the vehicle must completely cross the sidewalk without visibility observing pedestrians and in order to close the motorized gate, the exiting vehicle must enter the driving lane. The Metropolitan Dade County Code Section 33-11 requires the same visibility triangle and the F.D.O.T. "Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction and Maintenance for Streets and Highways", which applies to all roadways, requires similar clear zone and sight distance requirements for driveways. Sufficient distance must be provided for both the driver of the vehicle exiting the driveway and pedestrian and vehicular traffic utilizing Shipping Avenue to detect an exiting vehicle. Because of the mixed use of this street and the safety reasons stated above, the Public Works Department recommends denial of this request to waive the visibility triangle requirements. Since the design of the proposed wall can be modified to provide driveway visibility triangles (decorative iron pickets, etc.) a hardship has not been demonstrated that justified waiver of this safety requirement. 95-- 433 - 1 S. 0Y'S CLUB SW�i�� 16 , OpN�A rOSD • 2 ��8 w ��� z 84= �_ ® o a , 1'r I� a •� oir'ral'.e t t u r7 aQ�• a7 77, tee rt `7 rrw x \ 11 COCOANUT AVE. - I m " - .. . 1 ctQ:"' JK 1 t r w ,I• rlt1}.•�, t. it rn a , 0 �, p„ m W N 1 ' H p r 31 h ° „ t W f•, SUBDIVISION it In •t {CHIC.

We request a visibility triange of 0' -0 " in that our security wall is fifteen feet from the payment (10' required). There is ample room for a car to exit our driveway, stop before entering Shipping Ave. and have clear visibility in both directions as shown by pictures submitted to the Board. In excess of three hundred notices were sent to our neighbors in -the affected area and not one neighbor appeared to speak against our variance request. At least 25 properties in our area have solid walls without visibility triangles including those at 2920 Shipping Ave., 2930 Shipping Ave.,,2940 Shipping Ave., 2942 Shipping Ave., and 2950 Shipping Ave.. Our home has been burglarized three times. I work six nights a week, leaving home at !0:30 P.M. and returning at 9:00 A.M. the next morning. We need the security afforded by a solid wall as opposed to a wall that gives criminals an open viewing area into our property.
