Consideration of recommendations concerning an amendment to the Official. Zoning Atlas of Ordinance 9500, Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, to apply Section 1610. HC-1: General Use Heritage Conservation Overlay District to the subject property, as described in the designation report, and retaining the underlying zoning district. REQUEST To apply the HC-1 overlay to this historic site as described in the designation report. ANALYSIS As part of the Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and proposed Downtown Master Plan, the City was required to identify all potential historic sites and historic districts. The selection of these sites was made by the Planning Department, in conjunction with the State Historic Preservation Office, the Metro -Dade Historic Preservation Division, and other local professionals, using a nationally recognized set of criteria for determining what is "historic" or "significant". One condition of the DRI requires that these properties be proposed for local historic designation under the Heritage Conservation Ordinance. The Heritage Conservation Ordinance is a mechanism to recognize and encourage the preservation of Miami's historic resources. The Ordinance provides an orderly and equitable way to balance and defend both private property rights and the community's right to protect its architectural and cultural heritage. Designation with an HC-1 zoning overlay triggers a process for the review of proposed changes to the exterior of a building. Ordinary maintenance and repair do not require review, nor do changes to the interiors of most buildings. This review insures. that proposed PAB 6/1/88 Item # 11 s ti-10 Page 1 I changes to a property are in keeping with its historic character. A commonly misunderstood aspect of the Ordinance concerns demolition. Although the Heritage Conservation Board can delay demolition for up to six months while trying to negotiate an alternative plan with the concerned parties, the Board does not have the authority to prevent demolition following the assigned delay period. 'It is the policy of the City to work cooperatively with the owner to seek ways of promoting an Economically productive use of the historic building. Designation can sometimes make buildings eligible for certain zoning incentives, as well as exemptions from some Building Code requirements. Technical assistance is also available. The Heritage Conservation Board determined that the subject property meets the criteria for historic designation, as described in the designation report. The PAB should consider the appropriateness of the proposed HC-1 zoning overlay as compared to any other HC regulations that could be applied or created for the subject property. The HC-1 overlay would not change or modify any of the existing zoning regulations. RECOMMENDATIONS (See designation report). HERITAGE CONSERVATION BOARD Approval; 6 to 0. PLANNING DEPT. Approval.

SIGNIFICANCE Specific Date: Architects: Statement of Significance: 1937 Paist and Steward The Wilford H. Burkhart House and Office is architecturally significant because it is one of the most unusual Mediterranean Revival style structures in downtown Miami. The appearance of the building serves to characterize a popular architectural trend of the 1920s and 1930s in South Florida. The multicolored glazed tiles comprise the building's most significant architectural feature. The building is also an excellent example of the work of the architectural firm of Paist and Steward. The design of the Burkhart House and Office provides a unique architectural record of early twentieth century design in Miami. The massing and configuration of the building make it an excellent example of the Mediterranean Revival style remaining in downtown- Miami. The use of the glazed tiles serves to emphasize the desire to attain 'regionalism" in architectural expressions. As utilized in South Florida, the Mediterranean Revival style was the product of the variety of architectural expressions found along the Mediterranean coast. Italian and Moorish themes from Spain and North Africa3 and even French details are the sources of inspiration for the style. The Burkhart House and Office was designed by the firm of Paist and Steward. Phineas Paist moved to Miami in 1924, and he was named supervising architect for Coral Gables the following year. During the early 1930s, he became associated with Harold Steward, and together they designed such notable buildings as the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse and Coral Gables Methodist Church. Paist and Steward designed this house for Wilford H. Burkhart, president of Wilford H. Burkhart, Inc., a building supply company. Burkhart located his company on the first floor and his residence on the second floor. The building provided a showcase for many of his most outstanding products. Burkhart died in 1987, but the building continued to be occupied by his wife. The appearance of the Burkhart House and Office remains virtually untouched from the day it was constructed. The house serves as a reminder of the time when South Miami Avenue was being molded into a major thoroughfare lined with elegant structures displaying a high degree of craftsmanship. At present, many of these buildings have been demolished and replaced with high-rise office and commercial -4- 88--1084 0 buildings. The Burkhart House and Office is a lone survivor of an era gone by. Relationship to Criteria for Designation: 3. Exemplifies the historical, cultural, political, economic, or social trends of the community. _ S. Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, or period, or method of. construction. 6. Is an outstanding work of a prominent designer or builder. 7. Contains elements of design, detail, materials or craftsmanship of outstanding quality or which represent a significant innovation or adaptation to the South Florida environment. Page 5 of 3 1 q ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION Description of Building: The Wilford H. Burkhart House and Office is a two-story masonry structure constructed in 1937. Fronting to the east, the house features physical characteristics of_the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture. The Burkhart House and Office is a rectangular plan structure featuring a concrete block structural system and exterior walls clad in stucco. The building is capped by a.hipped roof that is sheathed with Mission tiles. The facade of the building displays a symmetrical, two-tier composition comprised of a circular projection on the first floor and a flat elevation above. The most outstanding architectural component of the building's exterior is the circular projection that is divided into nine bays, each bay containing an arched opening that is embellished with colorful glazed tiles. Flanking the circular projection are two entrances found on the end bays of the facade. Each doorway is also embellished with the glazed tiles. The nine bays of the circular projection are divided by engaged stone -columns that are capped by Corinthian capitals. The spandrel space between the window and the arched opening is embellished with the glazed tile. The roof of the circular projection is used as a deck that is accessible from the second floor. There is a pierced tile balustrade along the perimeter of the projection. The second story of the building's facade is divided into seven bays. The outer bays are spaced wider than those in the middle. At the end bays, there is a projecting balcony over the first story entrances that also contains a pierced tile balustrade found atop the circular projection. The openings on the second story contain a combination of metal frame casement -type windows and metal frame with glass doors. Ornamental brackets serve to support the eave of the hipped roof as it projects over the principal elevation.
