A Special Exception for an addition to an existing Nursing Home (Live Oaks Convalescent Home) was approved by the Zoning Board by Resolution ZB-2088 on February 22, 1988. There were no appeals filed. 2. On January 9, 1989, a Building Permit, No. 89-185 and a Landscape Permit, No. 89-186, were issued in compliance with the plans on file. 3. On May 2, 1989, an appeal was filed appealing the Zoning Administrator's Interpretation/Decision in issuance of a Building Permit. The Law Department rendered a legal opinion that the appeal did not contain appealable interpretations or decisions. At this time an inspection by a zoning inspector found that the oak trees to be transplanted were still in their original locations. 4. On August 15, 1989, after receiving a complaint, a zoning inspector visited the site and found that eight (8) 'of thirteen (13) oak trees which were to have to been transplanted no longer existed. Eventually, all transplanted trees died. A citation was issued at this time. Representatives of Metro -Dade County and the design landscape architect assured us that all trees that died would be replaced. 5. Without prior approval new oak trees were planted on the interior portion of the parking area and instead of oak trees, as shown on the approved plan, along the south property line, Gumbo Limbo trees approximately twelve feet in height were planted. An after the fact landscape plan was submitted to the department which was not in compliance with the approved plan nor meet the replacement requirements of Chapter 17 of the City Code. This was rejected. 6. A lawsuit was filed by the appellant against Metro -Dade County & City of Miami and a hearing held before Judge Stuart Simons on July 10, 1990. The judge instructed 91. -- 178 7• I everyone to exhaust all administrative remedies before he would rule on tha issue. After meeting with staff, including landscape architect, it was agreed that the plan as submitted on July 24, 1990, would be accepted as meeting the intent of Chapter. 17, create sufficient screening for the adjacent property and would give the canopy which would have been created by the transplanted trees. 91 - 78 � a■ a ■ ■ t�1• . /ems • I' L � � • d 1 • W O 't t � N.W. sure.— c _ • I� + tu 60 :• . • _. •j •. �{ to • ' • °. • 1 r • 2 8 ST. i t all 1 :• N 7 t/ I:V ! t N . z� � � S ✓ ., • ; • (I• .1 1, � r! i t ' R ,► �• 1 w 11•) � t.. , . 2 :• — '•t f 11 all ---ju2 r! • • _ , • • S t It h . f f ; • \ • I • I - Nt 121 it 't3 � • ! 1 ♦ 6 O® ®I �S �„ • f , , t2 It) r• h Ml t•1 r2 � ' I � 3 N.Sir :4 'R•6T5 JL t• rt t• mot• rI • •1t 17• t • 1 t 2! i2 •� • r • f r . i : it ° I • �, I z t 11 1 • i l: ll r u ,�j tl �t ^ T R.

City of Miami Code Dear Mr. Odic: This notice of appeal is filed on behalf of Veronica Nagymihaly d/b/a Nagymihaly Properties ("Appellant"), the owner of the real property located at 2201 N.W. 23rd Street, Miami, Florida,' pursuant to Section 17-15, City of Miami Code. The Appellant seeks review by the City of Miami Heritage Conservation Board of a decision by the City's Building and Zoning Department set forth in a letter from Joseph A. Ganuardi, Zoning Administrator, dated August 1, 1990, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." The reasons and grounds for the appeal are as follows: (1) The original tree removal and relocation plan approved by the City for Metropolitan Dade County's Human Resources Center required the preservation and replanting of thirteen (13) large live oak trees originally located in a 65-feet wide open space buffer which separated Appellant's property from the Center. (LU copies of landscape plan attached hereto as Exhibit "B.") (2) The thirteen (13) large oak trees which were to be replanted ranged in size from 20 feet to 36 feet in height (after being "heavily pruned") with calipers ranging from 12 inches to 48 inches. (ftj Exhibit "B," Tree Relocation List). - 78 91 (3) The originally approved plan showed that of the thirteen large oak trees to be relocated, ten trees, 20 to 36 feet in height were to be planted along the south property line for the purpose of buffering the Appellant's property from the expansion of Dade County's facility. However, the plan showed that the proposed landscaped area where these large trees were purportedly to be planted was galy Ihrge,fgg% wide which made any such relocation physically impassible. When the relocation was attempted in this t 3 -foet wade area and later in the 5-feet wide interior landscape **r. islands, all the larqe oak trees quickly died. Dade County should be held fully accountable for what can only be described as an intentional destruction of the trees. The Appellant advised Dade County in writing as early as February 22, 1989, that it was unlawfully destroying the trees - yet no corrective action was taken to avoid the losses. (4) The new plan now approved by the Building and Zoning Department fails to compensate for the County's destruction of the 13 large oak trees, fails to provide a proper planting area for the proposed fifteen new oak trees and fails to provide a reasonable buffer for the Appellant's residential property which faces directly into the parking lot of Dade County's facility. Accordingly, the Appellant requests the Heritage Conservation Board to impose the following requirements on Dade County's facility: A. Require that the fifteen (15) oak trees be a minimum of 20 feet in height with at least five trees being 30 to 35 feet in height. This would mean that most of the new trees would only most the smallest tree size of those removed and destroyed by Dade County. B. Eliminate the condition that the new trees must be available in Dade, Broward or Monroe Counties. The major source of such larger oak trees is outside these three counties. C. Require that the 3-feet wide landscape area along the south property line be increased to eight (8) feet. This would provide an adequate planting space for the new oak trees as well as provide a more reasonable buffer for the Appellant's property. To accomplish this increase, the 5-feet wide interior landscape islands running east/west in the parking lot would be eliminated and the existing parking spaces along the south border would be moved back five feet (In Exhibit I'v). This would leave two 5- feet wide islands at the center of the lot with space for at least four (4) additional oak trees twenty to thirty-five feet in height so that a total of nineteen or twenty such trees should be required for the site. We would also request a hearing be held on this appeal so that additional documentation, expert opinions and sworn testimony can be presented for the Board's consideration.

Your letter of April 17, 1989 stated as follows: "Thirteen oak trees are to be transplanted according to approved plans. An inspection by the zoning inspector did not reveal damage to these trees. However, if any of these trees ciie they will be required to be replaced with similar trees." We expect your office to ensure that no certificate of occupancy be issued :or Dade County's expanded facilities until the thirteen (13) oak trees, ranging in height from twenty (20) feet to thirty six (36) feet, are replaced along the south border of the property as required by the Zoning Board's resolution to buffer Eva Nagymihaly's residential property at 2201 N.W. 23rd Street.

Assistant City Attorney City Attorneys Office AmeriFirst Building, llth Floor 1 S.E. 3rd Avenue Miami, Florida 33131 Re: Building Permit Number 89-185 Dear Mr. Maxwell: This letter is to confirm my meeting with Mr. Joe Genuardi last Friday, March 9, 1990, where he and I phys cally examined - the plans officially on file with the City E-or the above - referenced building permit and determined that the landscape plan expressly requires the relocation of thirteen (13) existing large oak trees on the site. Because Dade ':ounty has destroyed these =rees, Mr. Genuardi has repeatedly advised ;ne that the City would require their replacement with trees of the same type and size prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy. Dade County has not followed the above approved plans on file but has instead planted a few small gumbo limbo trees and tiny oak trees. These trees were far smaller than the ones Dade County was simultaneously planting at the Government Center downtown. Accordingly, our client Veronica Nagymihaly continues to demand that the City withhold any certificate of occupancy -temporary or final. - until all of the applicable zoning restrictions on the property- are met. Because of your absence from the office today ' am providing a copy of this letter to Mr.Genuardi so that he can be raminded of our client's position as soon as possible.

FLORIDA 33123.1968 (M) 37R•4400 Referencing your March 13, 1990 letter to Ms. Diana M. Gonzalez, there are two exceptions, which I spoke of during our conversation of a few days earlier. One, that the Cherry hedge had been changed to Podocarpus at the request of Mr. O'Donnell, Attorney for Ms. Nagymihaly. The asecond, that the Oak trees being planted, to replace the ones that died. would be equal in number and the same size as those being planted elsewhere on the site, as part of new landscaping work. Mr. Landera, our architect for this project, has informed us that this was discussed by him with your staff during August, 1989. Sineeflely, ! r Nari'Nder S.

I believe certain statements in these documents require clarification. First, the approved plans on file require the preservation and relocation of 13 large oak trees which Dade County has not done and has clearly indicated it will not do. Second, the wall, fencing and landscaping necessary to buffer the residential apartzent from the combined AIDS hospital, drug rehabilitation center and alcohol rehabilitation center are certainly feasible on Dade County's site at a cost no greater than the $100,000 it would take to replace the large oak trees destroyed by Dade County. Third, although Ms. Nagymihaly is not a landscape architect, she was and is absolutely correct in asserting that the oak trees were being destroyed notwithstanding Dade County's assurances to the contrar7 and that Dade county's architect and landscape architect could never seriously have intended to preserve them on site given the plans submitted and the construction practices followed. .. :, 91 M- 7 8 I copy Mr. Genuardi and Mr. Jorge -Ventura as well as Directors Fuentes and Prieto-Portar to put everyone on notice once again that the approved plans on file as well as the express representations made by Dade County and the City's Planning Department to the Zoning Board require the preservation and relocation of 13 large oak trees of specific size and canopy. To change that requirement would legally necessitate a return to the Zoning Board for consideration of proper protections for Ms. Nagymihaly's residential property. In any event, we continue to rely upon representations by Dade County and City officials that no certificate of occupancy will be sought or issued while this matter ,is being .resolved. very truly yours, Anthony J.
