City of Miami Zoning Ordinance Dear Ms. Fox: This notice of appeal is filed on behalf of our client, veronica Nagymihaly d/b/a Nagymihaly Properties, the owner of real property located at 2201 N.W. 23rd Street, Miami, Florida, to seek Zoning Board review of the Zoning Administrator's decisions set forth in his letter of August 1, 1990, and to request the scheduling of a hearing on this appeal as well as on the earlier appeal we filed on May 2, 1989, which has yet to be heard by the Zoning Board. (See Memorandum of May 23, 1989 attached). I enclose the $400 filing fee. The bases for the appeals are set forth in the attached letters from this office dated August 9, 1990 and May 2, 1989, as well as the fact that Dade County has violated the express staff conditions for the Zoning Board's Resolution ZB-20-88 that "exi� sting, valUal2le trees on site would be relocated as indicated one" and that "%S proposed addition would be harmonious d_cpmgatible with jhS adjacent area."

O'Donnell's letter dated August 13, 1990, on behalf of Appellant, Veronica Nagymihaly, d/b/a Nagymihaly Properties, be advertised and placed together on the agenda for consideration by the Zoning Board. Although the Appellant's Notice of Appeal dated May 2, 1989, referenced in the August 13, 1990 letter, may have been untimely and . may not be a proper topic for appeal, it is our recommendation at this juncture that the Zoning Board make those determinations. Of course, the Appellant, if she is aggrieved by the ultimate decision of the Zoning Board, may then appeal to the City Commission to further exhaust her administrative remedies. Consequently, you have assured us that, if the matters noticed to be heard at the meeting scheduled on September 17, 1990, are deferred until October 15, 1990, this will allow sufficient time for notice to be sent to all interested parties on the remainder of the items Appellant wishes to be heard.

O'Donnell, Jr., Esq. did not contain appealable interpretations or decisions of the Zoning Administrator. Consequently, the non -appealable nature of the questions raised, in combination with the fact that the appeal time for the special exception and building permits undergirding the development activity complained of, work to divest the zoning board of jurisdiction to address this matter as it presently stands.

The Nagymihaly property is immediately adjacent to the Live oak Convalescent Home a/k/a Human Resources Health Center, owned by Metropolitan Dade County (Metro -Dade) and located at 2500 N.W. 22nd Avenue, Miami ("Metro-Dade's property"). In 1987, Metro -Dade filed a Toning application requesting approval of a Special Exception by the City of Miami Zoning Board purportedly for the expansion of an existing skilled nursing care facility located on Metro-Dade's property. By Resolution ZB 20-68, dated February 22, 1988, the Zoning Board granted Metro- Dade's request. The City of Miami then issued building permits to Metro -Dada for the construction of the expansion. For the reasons set forth below, the resolution granting the spacial exception and the building permits issued are in violation of the City of Miami's zoning Ordinances. Moreover, the present use of Metro- Dade's property and the intended use of the expansion are also in violation of the Oity•s Zoning Ordinances. 91 - 75 s Mr. Joseph Genuardi February 22,•1989 Page 2 I. Invalid Notice Prior to he Zoning Board hearing, the City provided the public with published notice and also sent notice to real estate owners within 375 feet of the site. However, these notices stated only that a special exception was being requested "to allow an addition to the existing nursincI home (Live Oak convalescent Home)." The notices failed to mention that the existing "nursing home" is presently providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services as well as clinic -type services on an outpatient basis, and that the proposed addition would also be used as a rehabilitation center and clinic providing services on an outpatient basis. As such, the notices were misleading. in order to be legally sufficient, notice to the public and property owners must adequately set forth what changes are proposed. Moreover, the actual change approved must conform substantially to the proposed changes in the notice. The notice sent regarding the proposed changes to Metro-Dade's property failed to inform the affected property owners as to the proposed changes which were actually to expand the present illegal uses of the property. As a result, the resolution granting the special exception based upon this notice is invalid. Further,. no notice was ever received by Veronica Nagymihaly, the property owner most substantially affected by the proposed change and most likely to contest it. In fact, Mrs. Nagymihaly not only owns the property immediately adjacent to Metro-Dade's property, but also owns other property within :75 feet of Metro-Dade's property. T__.....im�Use We have been advised that the existing "nursing home" on Metro -Dada's property is presently being used as a clinic providing outpatient services. Under the Zoning ordinances, a clinic is defined as an establishment for patients not lodged overnight who are admitted for examination and treatment. Notwithstanding the fact that some patients may be kept overnight at Live Oaks Convalescent dome, the maintenance of this facility as a clinic providing outpatient services would be in violation of both the City Zoning Code and the City's comprehensive plan- A clinic is a► commercial use not permitted under the present fesidentiol Zoning and land use designation of this property. 91- 75 Mr. Joseph Genuardi February 22, 1969 Page 3 Metro-Dade's property is zoned RG-3 General Residential which allows for the maintenance of nursing care facilities only by special exception. The c-ade-efines nursing home as a facility which provides maintenance, personal care or nursing for a period exceeding twenty-four (241 hourl. This definition does not contemplate the maintenance of a clinic providing services on an outpatient basis. Accordingly, Metro -Dade may not maintain a clinic on the property under the present zoning. Nor may the proposed expansion be used as a clinic. We have also been informed that the Live Oak Convalescent Home has been operating for some time as an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility. Residential facilities for alcohol and drug rehabilitation are not classified in the City's Zoning Code as nursing homes but rather are included in the definition of a community based residential facility. Under the present zoning of the property, community based residential facilities are permitted only by a special exception and are further subject to Section 2034 of the Zoning ordinance. This property was not granted a special exception for the maintenance of the community based residential facility; nor was it advertised as a community based residential facility. Additionally, it is doubtful that the present facility would meet the location standards and other requirements for a community based residential facility set forth in Section 2034 of the Zoning Ordinance. As such, the clinic and rehabilitation activities may not be maintained under the present zoning; nor may the proposed expansion of the "nursing home" be used to provide clinic or drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. The building permits issued to Metro -Dade for the construction of the expansion on the property violate the setback requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinances. Metro -Dade is presently constructing the expansion with only a five (5) feet setback from the property line with the Nagymihaiy Property. The nursing care facility on Metro-Dade's property is an open public facility. As such, it is similar to those other non-residential facilities identified in RG-2 and RG-3 rerniiriner a twont-v r2ni 414Ow3.ng co: violate the immediately. isTpruczion within five (s) feet of the Zoning Ordinances and should be revoked Thus, permits property line and corrected 91-r 75 Mr. Joseph Genuardi February 22,. 1989 Page 4 Even if the nursing care facility is classified as a residential operation under RG-2 and RG-3, the permits are nonetheless in violation of the setback requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance which requires that buildings along the rear of -a residential lot be set back at least ten (101 feet from the grey line. The permits issued to Metro -Dade are presently allowing construction within five (5) feet from the rear of Metro- Dade's property. Under the Ordinance's own definitions, the front of a lot shall be construed as the shortest boundary adjacent to the street. Accordingly, the front of Metro Dade's lot is that side of the lot facing Northwest 26th Street. As such, the rear of the property is that side of the property contiguous to the Nagymihaly property. At the very minimum, then, the permits should only permit construction within ten (10) feet of the property line. Since the permits are permitting construction within five (5) feet, they are in violation of the Zoning Ordinances and should be revoked and corrected immediately. Finally, Metro -Dade represented to the Zoning Board that existing valuable oak trees on the site would be relocated as indicated on its plans. However, the trees existing on the site are huge oak trees which normally cannot be relocated. Already, we understand that several of the trees have been destroyed by Metro -Dade. The destruction of these trees is detrimental to the community and to the Naqymihaly property and should not .be permitted. As set forth above, the present use of Metro-Dade's property and intended use of the expansion violate the City of Miami's Zoning Ordinances. The existing violations and those which will occur in the future are adversely affecting Mrs. Nagymihaly and are interfering with the beneficial use and enjoyment of the Nagymihaly property. Therefore, these violation 91 ` 75 • 11 Mr. Joseph Genuardi February 22,'1989 Paqe 5 must be remedied immediately. appreciated.

This CBRF use renders Resolution ZB 20-88, which approved the expansion of a "nursing home" unlawful because neither the notice nor the title to this resolution referenced the CBRF use as is required by the zoning code. Accordingly, it is imperative that construction next to the Naqymihaly property be halted at once to allow a proper public hearing on the CBRF use and a proper consideration of appropriate restrictions of that use such as setbacks from adjoining residential uses. Even if prigr anproovva,_ls of CBRF uses can be found, the present expansion is under Resolution ZB 20-88 which is patently defective. VQ=r truly y Anthony O'Donnell, Jr. Aj0/Xj cc: Miriam Maer, Esq.

I would again reiterate that this illegal use makes the notice for Resolution ZB 20-88 patently insufficient. You advised me that the new wing would, according to Dade County officials, not be used as a CBRF but only for nursing care; and that the County will be applying for a CBRF special exception for its facility. This position is not valid because it evades the clear requirements of the City's zoning ordinance and procedures, and it essentially rewards a wrongdoer which was on notice and, nevertheless,. Proceeded to develop its property under an unlawfully Obtained special exception. See Cit,v of coral Gables v. Deschamps, 1242 So.'2d 210 (Fla. 3d DCA 1970) (failure of notice to mention hospital addition invalidates resolution); and QoronA Properties of Fla != v ' .�20rog..1,Coupt.Y, 485 So.2d 1314 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985) (illegally obtained governmental approval for illegal use invalidated issued building permit). Mr. Joseph Genuardi March 13, 1989 Page 2 The scenario you outlined for Dade County would first allow the construction of a building only 5 feet from the property line of my client's residential apartments - a setback which never would have been approved at public hearing had the CBRF alcohol and drug treatment center use been revealed. Then, once built, Dade County would request a post facto approval of this CBRF use with only a 5 feet setback. This approach is not what the law is or should be; and it is unreasonable for the City and Dade County to place such a public health center next to existing residential properties without any sensitivity to the adjoining residents. I enclose for your information four (4) photographs I personally took of Dade County's operations on Friday, March 10, 1989. You will note that the 5 feet setback is located right next to an apartment building which has windows facing this new structure. You will also note that this residential apartment building is setback some twenty (20) feet - which should be the minimum for Dade County's massive public health care and treatment facility. You will also note that the 5 feet setback makes the Zoning Board's required relocation of the property's once beautiful oak trees as a buffer impossible. You will further note that these oak trees, which the Zoning Board required to be preserved, have been virtually eliminated or destroyed by Dade County. I would also turn your attention to Section 2034 of the City's Zoning Code and point out that the County's illegal CBRF use would require extensive r_c_r2ation offer} space_ which must be "appropriately landscaped and buffered for the comfort, convenience and enjoyment of the residents with due consideration for adjacent priopelMiAS." Sec. 2034.2.2.2, Zoning Code. There has been no such open space provided with any consideration of the only neighboring residential property nor has there been a suitable wall, fence or hedge to separate the properties as required by Sec. 2034.2.2.3, of the City's Zoning Code. Again, the main point is that the City and proceeded - after due notice from my client on - to construct an extension of an illegal CBRF Dade County February 22, 1989 to within 5 feet 91 75 37 .0 Mr. Joseph Genuardi March 13, 1989 Page 3 of the Naqymihaly property. This illegal act should be halted immediately and corrective action should be undertaken to avoid further damages to my client. AJO/sj Enclosure cc: Eileen Mehta, Esq. Miriam Maer, Esq.
