Dear Mr. Perez-Lugones:
I enclose herewith a copy of a letter from Mr. David Pearson
to Mr. Jack Luft, Director, dated July 12, 1988. Also enclosed is
a copy of the response to Mr. Pearson's letter by Sergio
Rodriguez, Director of the City of Miami, dated September 16,
1988.
Please be advised that I do wish to make a personal
appearance before the City Commission related to the request for
a fee waiver for St. Alban's Day Care Center. Would you please
be kind enough to put my name on the City Commission Agenda and
inform me of the day and time when I can appear and request the
filing fee waiver in person.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
DANIEL A. KAVANAUGH

Dear Jack:

As president of the Board of Directors of St. Alban's Day Nursery
in Coconut Grove, I am writing to formally request that you waive
N the filing fee we are currently required to pay in order to submit
our plan for an addition to a classroom at St. Alban's. As you
probably know, we are a non-profit organization entirely dependent
upon Head Start, state and local funding for our existence.
The plans for the addition are being drawn without fee by Grove
resident Alfred Browning Parker. The funds for the addition are
being donated entirely by Grove residents (we are raising the
money now). All of us serve without compensation.
St. Alban's cares for more than 425 children of working mothers
every day. It is a service desperately needed by the community.
We have more than 200 children on a waiting list whom we cannot
even take in because of lack of space and funding.
It is therefore important that we conserve every penny we can
toward capital construction of our facilities, including the money
we would have to pay the City for approval of our plans. We are
also asking the city commission to waive the fee due for appearing
before them to ask for their approval.
Please let me know whether you can do this, as we intend to submit
our plans to you shortly.
Thanks for your help and consideration.
Sincerely,
&W-4--k

Dear Mr. Pearson:
CESAR H. ODIO
City Manager
It is certainly an indication of your community concern that the Board of
Directors of St. Alban's Day Nursery is going ahead with your classroom
addition. Your volunteers are to be congratulated and encouraged in this
project.
In response to your letter of July 12, 1988 (attached), to Jack Luft, Chief of
Urban Design, of the Planning Department, I have no authorization to waive the
filing fee required when you request: a) Class C Special Permits; b) a special
exception from the Zoning Board; or c) when you request a building permit
based on approval of your construction documents.
To my knowledge, it is not procedurally necessary under the Zoning Ordinance
or building code for your group to appear before the City Commission to
request formal approval; unless appealed, variances and special exceptions are
decided by the Zoning Board.
However, if you wish to make a personal appearance before the City Commission
to consider your request for a fee waiver, please contact
Mr. Aurelio Perez-Lugones, Legislative Administrator, of the City Manager's
staff at 579-3467, and further your request by letter to the City Manager.
