Advisory Board at its meeting of May 14,1986,
and for consideration by the City Commission at
its meetings of May 22, 1986 (1st Reading) and
October 23, 1986 (2nd Reading), receiving an
approval in principle. The amendment to the
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan was reviewed` and

Advisory Board and the City Commission at their
respective meetings of May 14, 1986
(PAB Resolution #15-86) and October 23, 1986
(CC Ordinance #10166).
ANALYSIS The condition of development along SW 27th _

create the appropriate atmosphere for adequate
development. —

Upon the direction of the City, Commission on March 31, 1987, the Planning
Department was directed to hold an informational workshop on SPI-13, the S.W.
27th Avenue Special Interest District. Sergio Rodriguez, Planning_ Director,
announced at the March 31st City Commission Meeting, that the workshop would
be held at 6:00 PM,Tuesday, April ' 7, 1987.
At the workshop,staff present were: Joe McManus, Planning Department; Walter
Pierce, Assistant City Manager; Guillermo Olmedillo, Planning 'Department;
Jo Reid and Gloria Fox, Building and Zoning Department; and George Campbell,
Department of Public Works.
Approximately 25 citizens attended.
The presentation was made by Mr. Olmedillo (Attachment A).
Citizen comments were as follows:
1. Brooks Brierly (Apogee) : - There has been no response to previous
suggestions made to the Planning Advisory Board or Planning Department.
(Mr. Brierly submitted his comments and plans) He objected to the 50'
height in the Ordinance; he proposed 30' for commercial; 40' for
residential. He, proposed' that all parking for commercial uses be below
street level and that increased FAR would make it -economic. The
landscaping criteria in the Ordinance shows a 10' clear height trunk,
which' is not sufficient. He suggested a 20' buffer at the rear of all
Property. The buffer as defined in the proposed Ordinance can be used as
an alley.
2. Andres 0uany, Sr,. 2949 Coconut _Avenue - Trees don't belong in the middle
or s ree s cars on-T, 5#1 ang un ergiround

compromise which has not been accepted by the R1anning pepartment.

4. Mitch Fennell,;2933 Center Street, (Habitat Three) He is located behind
e Animal Houselat Trade and Loconut;the garbage dump for this
building is located at Trade and S.W. 27th Avenue. They clean their
parking lot at 7:00 AM, every Saturday. There is the glare from thier
office lights 'every night. Employee arguments in their parking 'lot occur
frequently. There are vandals and transients in their parking lot. This
construction lasted for 1-1/2 years. He has no sunlight, the building
blocks the sun. There are accidents at S.W. 27th and Bird Avenue. There
is traffic from "Carlos in the Grove The "automotive death and maim
zone" occurs at peak traffic hours. There is no buffer betweenthe
office building and his house.
5. Cliff Rodner - Treehouse Townhouses, (represents 12 residents) -This
proposed zoning district ordinance ignores the potential for transients,
garbage and traffic: SPI-13 does not represent > an improvement`. The
great majority of residents oppose this zoning district.
6. Thelma Altshuler, Tigertail,Association Several questions have been
asked, can the Planning Department answer these questions in general?
7. Guillermo Olmedillo, Planning Department North of Bird Avenue, land
uses are not ffeing modified, u e building envelope is being _
increased.. South of Bird Avenue, SPI-13 both- liberalizes land uses and
increases the building envelope.
8. Mr. 8rierly - What is the trade-off between underground parking and
additionalFAR?
9. Rich Heisenbotl, Townscape Homeowners Association The challenge is to
come, up with a_compromise, The setb4CK proposed -by Brierly is workable.
The height ` should be ' reduced to 30-35 ft. ; residential uses should be
provided above office and commercial uses; this would change the image of
S.W. 27th Avenue. Brierly's proposal to trade-off underground" parking
for. more FAR provides . soft positive aspects; _otherwise 50% of the parking
w111 be under buildings at grade. Why not require underground parking in
return for commercial on the ground floor? Why not have trees in the
center median? If County- does not pay for trees , maybe the City should
pay. All of the neighbors are reedy to compromise there should be
modifi cations.
10. Walter Pierce, Assistant City ,Wag r = A follow-on meeting would be held
a w e ann ng epar en would respond to each of the issues
raised,

11. Barry Feldman, Tigertail Association None of the suggestions made
previously by the Ttgertall Assoc a on have been incorporated by the
Planning Department. The SPI-3 district is a model for the type of use
— and criteria that should be used for SPI-13.
12. Howard _Weisberg, 2970_.Washington- ( represents 29 Residents) - The
Terremark duilding Is affecting a surrounding area on via on and S.W.
27th Avenue. The area around Terremark should be rolled , back to
residential zoning.
13 Bob Fitzsimmons, 2550 Abaco Avenue - Single-family residential
property -owners ne protection; Fe _ recommended that office uses be
permitted on S.W. 27th Avenue not commercial Can the Planning
Oepartment support withdrawal of SPT--3 from the area around Aviation and
S.W. 27th Avenue tonight?
14. Louise Rubin, Center Street Why can't certain property at
2701-05 ay center be own -zoned?
15. Mona Michelle, S.W. 27th Avenue/Bird Avenue She objected to S.W. 27th
venue re -zoning. TfousandS or beer cans are thrown at the bus stop at
the service station at Bird Avenue and S.W. 27th Avenue. She bought her
apartment building 5 years ago on the promise that this was the gateway
to Coconut Grove. She want this area to remain residential.
16. Tony Marina, Property -owner on S.W. 27th Avenue - He needed to describe
e pas wo years of d1scussions or S.W. 27t enue zoning. The SPI-13
district affords small property owners a change. of zoning, which they
could not apply for individually because of the small size of their lots.
Residential rentals have to ' be quite - economical to ` attract rentals.
Individual changes of zoning were granted previously which were more
liberal than SPI.13. You either have to rezone something satisfactory to
property -owners on S.W. 27th Avenue or they will say that w a was
Promised was not delivered ndd they will seek individual re -zoning and
possibly obtain' more liberal zoning.
17. Mona Michelle These are our homes.
18. Cynthia Shelly, Washington Street - Aviation is a buffer zone. You
s ou no cross Avla.tion-VtO rezoning.
19. Barry Feldman Objected again.

7-11 store is a mixed" use project which is ruining the neighborhood.
Crime is increasing. Residential density now is .more than adequate.
Throw the whole proposal out; do not disrupt the neighborhood.
21. Mr. Olmedillo We addressed all concerns of the previous workshop;
however- ese did not result 'in'a report.
22. Eva Todd I represent a number of residents who are opposed to density.
23. Mitch Fennell - He again opposed the SPI-13 zoning.
24. Tony- Marina - There have been a series of agreed -upon compromises
compromises previously i.e. 70' back -of -curb to back -of -curb on S.W. 27th
Avenue; and the 5' setback for the fronts of buildings for the first
floor.

Concerns of attendants/response from the Planning Department
1. Brooks Brierly,_3126 Center Street Apogee Condominium
Sent letter to the Planning Advisory Board in January, 1987;
presented concerns at the Planning Advisory Board meeting of
February. The study of SPI-13 does not reflect these proposals and
comments. ThePlanningAdvisory Board did not include then in its
approval
Apogee introduces into record the same plan again and wants answers.
Planning Department:
The Letter was made part of the record which went to the Planning
Advisory Board and - after hearing the concerns, and proposals of
"Apogee" the Planning Advisory Board chose to approve the proposal
presented by the Planning Department. This does no% mean that the
Planning Advisory Board did not consider these concerns but that
they decided against them
ApoBN's proposal includes:
Underground parking, 20' rear setback, bonuses in exchange for
better design, 1.5 FAR, larger trees, more detailed requirements,
lawer buildings and trees in median.
Underground parking, is a good design idea but it is expensive. The
intent is to generate service and comoercial space to serve the
nei ghborhood. Than services have f i ed f r= the Village Center
because of property values.
Pigs of 7
I
Files April 17 1981
The 15' rear setback was achieved as a result of 2 years of meetings
and of moving the building towards S.W. 27th'Avenue.
Bonuses and 1.5 FAR are out of context. Throughout the study
process the maximum considered has been 1.0 FAR. Neither neighbors
nor developers want higher FAR.
Larger trees are difficult to transplant. The remedy has been
addressed with a 1 year review of landscaping.
SPI requirements are minimum conditions, detailed plans have to be
prepared underSPI rqui cements. Zoning requirements are general,
not site specific.
Lower buildings is a good idea, but impractical. Again the
discussion was between 40' or 50'; and the matter was resolved with
a 50' height- limitation but a maximum of 3 or `4 levels depending on
the development alternative.
�A"70' curb to curb section does not allow tree median when left
turns have to be included.
Andres Duany
Supported the mixed•use district
Opposed the Apogee plan in its entirety.

Only 22% of the _properties on S.W. 270 Avenue will redevelop in
foreseeable future.
The number of meetings indicates that neighbors are opposed to it.
Compromise presented by Tigertail was not adopted.
Planning Department:
Another workshop is scheduled for April 21, 1987, at 5:00 PM, at the
City Administration Building.
The plan presented is a long term proposal.
The number of meetings indicates patience and desire to inform.
Tigertail Association position has changed. At one point they
submitted language for SPI=13. Now they do not want SPI13. The
Planning Advisory Board recommended approval after hearing the
Tigertail proposal.
Mitch Fennell, 2933 Center Street
"Bride Building on S.W. 27th Avenue and Trade Avenue has created
problems to neighbors: garbage, noise at all hours, drugs, lights,
loss of privacy, traffic, etc.
S.W. 27th Avenue should not be changed.
Planning Department_:
Present zoning from Bird Avenue to South Dixie Highway is commercial
with certain restrictions, The Brick Building is an office
building, not commercial. This is an enforcement problem now, the
zoning is in place now.
The changes proposed on S,M. 27th Avenue are comprehensive, trying
to create mech4nisms to Cl iMin4te imp#CU on residential
neighborhood.

traffic, hours of operation, parking, displacement of housing,

operation have not been taken into consideration.

on center street between Bird Avenue And Day Street. This does not
create incentives for development on 27th Avenue.
SPI-13 addresses boundary conditions better than SPI-3.
Howard Weisberg, Washington Street
Eliminate rezoning of properties east of Aviation Avenue. (Section
2A ). List of 50 names of people who live around the Terremark
Building and who do not want the rezoning of those properties.
Planning Department:
The rezoning of those properties brings relief to the owners
abutting the office building.
Louise Rubin, Center Street
Downzone the property at Day Street and Center Street and the POMU
at Tigertail and S.W. 27th venue.
Planning Department: The City. rezoned those two properties within the last two years. If
the owners want to downzone the City 1s willing to listen.
Mona Michel
Opposed commercial rezoning because it will be similar to what'
happened with the convenience store -gas station at Bird Avenue and
S.W. 27th Avenue. Gas fumes,'' noise, traffic, etc.

North of Bird Avenue the present zoning allows some commercial

the real changes are proposed south of Bird Avenue.
Anthony Marina, President Gateway Association
The SPI-13 plan reflects compromises, the intensity granted to other
properties (Oay Avenue and Center Street and the POMU) is greeter
1.21; the proposal is 1.0. The height limit , is lower than the one
already granted to those properties. Will have no problem leaving

NAME:
Brooks Brierley
ADDRESS:
3126 Center Street
CONCERN #1:
Scale/specificationsof SPI-13 are
not compatible with the 'rest of
the Grove - buildings should
be lover, parking should be
underground, landscaping should be
intense.
CONCERN #2:
Use of buildings in SPI 13 does
not reflect economic activities
allowed by high" cost of grove land.
RECOMMEND SPI-13: YES X
NO
REASONS:
Details of SPI- 13 will discourage
attractive uses of 27th Avenue.
50' building _ height will block sun, create a canyon effect in
street - low 1.1 F,A.R6 will make
all adjacent land parking lots -
buffer in back of buildings can be an alley with storage and
traffic encouraging crime.

s
over the past year, we have attended numerous workshops and meetings
concerning the redesign of the "27th Avenue Corridor" or Gateway to the
Grove. All plans, regardless of the strong objections of the residents
of the Grove, have centered around the concept that 27th avenue should be
a commercial street. And after a year, we still haven't heard one good -_
reason. Before you charge ahead, and maybe destroy the Village forever,
=lease consider the following:
:he Grove is a small ,village and any development should continue to
reinforce that special village statement; i.e. commercial develooment
should be in the village center, not ,a strip development on 27th Avenue
that weakens the village core.
• The development of 27th Avenue with commercial divines the existing
residential areas on both sides of 27th Avenue and does not serve to
unify the neighborhood.
If anything is a "gateway" to the Grove, it should be its residential
tree lined streets with a village center, not the continuation of the
type of development that is on 27th Avenue, north of U.S. 1
Please don't make the Grove, thru your zoning, become just another
commercial area in Miami; it is something special that the City should value.

JanuarT-21, 1387
r, 7 ' ` i 23 P `
To., The Miami Planning Advisory -Board
This is to express the concern and objections that we, tt.c owners of the
10 Apogee condominiums at 3120 thru 3138 Center Street, have to the adoption
of SPI=13/ special public interest district for 2?1-h-Avenue in Coconut Grove
on the creation of RG-2.1/3.3 along Center Street. The specifications proposed
in the planning fact sheet dated ;November 25, 1986 need to be revised to insure
preservation of the Grove's special character. The continuing zoning violations
at the corner of Day Avenue and Center Street illustrate the importance of
having effective specifications and the capacity to strongly enforce them.
We would first point out that the planning Fact sheet proncsed for the
SPI-3 district contains two substantial conceptual errors are in the t,---e
of activity expected from th_s rezoning and second in the technical specifications
of the proposed new buildings.
First, both land and construction costs in Coconut Grove require that new
building's tenants receive a high volume of sales income per square foot, such
as in a Mayfair or Commador Plaza type of office or shoo. "ow income per square
foot tenants such as drug store,'newstands, hardware stores, etc., cannot afford
the rents. Only a few of the permissable retail uses in SPI-13 jeweler!
stores, banks, gift shops and restaurants qualify to pay high rents. �Ln
reality, despite the varied list of retail uses permissable in SPI-13, only a
very few of these can economically be done in Coconut Grove today.
Second, to permit retail and office space on 27th Avenue in 50' high
buildings of a 1.0 floor area ratio with no setback from the sidewalk will
create towers blocking sunlight from adjacent residential areas that are
surrounded by a sea of steel and parking. Existing examples of this are
Grove 'dowers and the Bakery Center - the unattractiveness of 27th Avenue north
of U,S, 1 will be brought to Coconut Grove. In short, the Grove will loose its
special character with the adoption, as proposed, of SPI-13.
We urge the board to adopt the following changes to make an attractive
SPT#13.
(1) Wim= height of buildings should be 30' not 50', with a maxim= of 3
levels above gro=d, with only the first floor for retail space*,
will allow more light to come into the adjacent residential areas and be
better street scale. Forty (401) foot building height is permitted, if
the too two stories are residential on.'_y, and that they be set back a
minimum of 10, from the plane of the lower stories to permit residential
decks or roof terraces
(_1 Parking must be telow street level. 7he -land apace freed from needing
parking lots could ;sake a more intense floor area ratio from 1.0 to 1.5
acceptable for the residents and economical`,�r the developers.
(�) Building front setbacks should be staggered. One half would have no
setback, and h31f 20' from the sidewalk. a 2-7th avenue with 4 lanes of
traffic and no setbacks will create a canyon of a=4 a r nwale
for a Sl-'-r2et, as is 27th avenue north of U.S. I. —na`" tl-ie a--4d-,t ^al
satbac�, areas be a minimum. of 20' deep and c--ntain ,a,'.{s, out�oor
restaurants or similar public spaces and be heavily landscaped.
(4) Landscaping requirements should be intense to maintain the Grove's
character and make the area more habitable. `7he 10' high tree required
in the planning fact sheet is insignificant with larger structures. Trees
should have a minimum height of 20' clear truck for every 250 square feet
of yard and every 30' of frontage on 27th Avenue. That sidewalks be
brick, similar to that within center Grove, and that developers should be
legally responsible for planting and maintaining the landscape including
replacement should some trees die. A heavily landscaped buffer zone of
a minimum of 20' should be required on all property boundaries facing or
adjacent to a residential area. Landscaping of this buffer zone hould_be
as in (5), and sufficiently dense that the shrubbery effectively blocks
the view from one type of use/activity to another,
(5) The yards adjacent to both streets and RS and RG districts should be 20'
(not 151) on the commercial side and landscaped as a park or greenbelt -
heavily treed and shrubbed with 20' trees/8' shrubs to fully buffer the
commercial activity from the residential areas, No vehicle or delivery
activity must be permitted at the rear of these buildings or they will
become sl.ley%mys with considerable noise pollution and crime potential.
Deliveries to the buildings would be from the underground par►cing areas.
A41 services and trash removal and access shall; be only from 27th Avenue.
��
gash .�bmpsters, tr3nsori,ers, mechanical eient may nod be in he
rear yards and must be under the structure and enclosed, or screened and
40''from, the rear property line such as not to result in objectionable
odors or noise.
(6) An architectural rendering of any proposed structure must be presented
prior to site plan approval and made a part of the public record. A'public
hearing must be held to allow examination of the proposal. That in the
RG 2.1/3.3, that t;zis classification be r3stricted to residential
developement cnly, and cannot be used as oar'cing for the SPI-:3 district.
>.*e also point out the violation of recent zoning variances granted .n the
area - to the property occupied by Coconut -Grove Realty at the corner of gay
Avenue and Center street - as an example of the need for ant enf:;rcement o
buffers. kn 8' high hedge separated this property `rpm Center Street -jnt l
October 1986. :-.hen the zoning variance for co=erci3l use ::as granted t^a
gas torn doim. It is now parkin spaces. ^Qr= cf.`er .'et
buffer/;zedge g spaces. _.._ is no
this eras a condition of the variance. When the rezoning :3s'granted t~e
developer promised that a 5' residential zoned easement ba recor ed along
Center Street, and that all engross and egress would be solely from 2,th
— Avenua or Day Avenue. In addition, a gall or planting hedge would :e planted
along Center Street. The developer also promised to �'o necessary right of :av
improvements, such as sidewalks, along his property.
:o guarantee that this does not happen on 271th ;venue an impact f3: of
$2 per square foot of construction should be required of the developer at the
time of site plan approval (to be disbursed for landscaping of the property).
These moneys should be used as 'a forfeiture bond/fund should the developer fail
to maintain the landscape as required.
Note also that ingress and egress from this building was not to be.from
Center Street -'a residential street 15' wide which barely holds 2 lanes of
cars - yet this is the main entrance for the building's approximately 50 cars
per day. To require underground parking For SPI-13 will insure that parking
there will not be disruptive.
We at Apogee would arpreciate having the 5oard give a written reply to
this letter and its concerns, And, we Would be happy to meet with your staff
or the activity board to discuss the items outlined in this letter,

Dear Xs,-rbers:
In reference to the .ajblic Hearing to be held on :.ednesdav_ January `^, reg3rdina
the zropoSed zoning changes to the 27th Avenue corridor'. ;:e :i=_h --o !:ring to
-*-our attention ..hat ::e believe are serious violations in the name- 10_3ted o:, t'^.e
south.est bo=.dart' of the area to be rezoned.
:he land is located on the north side of Day Street between 27th avenue and Center
Street. At the time of re -zoning the developer to have a five (5) foot
buffer zone to Center Street ( a residential area, an existing buffer of trees and
shrubs .:as torn out when the property was first use:' as an office ) to have all
vehicular traffic ingress and egress from Day Street only, to provide off street ,
parking according to code anc not to distrub the residential character of Canter
Street.
Coconut Grove Realty, now occupying the property is routing all vehicular traffic
through Center Street ( an estimate of 50 cars per day ),<has not provided the
5' buffer zone, has placed what we believe are non -conferring signs and provided
parking for about 15 vehicles off of Center. Street.
We have tried on numerous occasions to call the City's Building S Zoning Depart
_ ment to report these violations but it is next to impossible to reach them by
phone
Although the concept of homogeneous zoning for 27th avenue seems like a good idea,
we, based on the experience we have had with the rezoning of the above mentioned
parcel feel that the rezoning would only be a, door for the expansion of non-
residential development to the detriment of the residential neighborhoods surrond-
ing them. Unless adequate safeguards are taken to insure compliance with zoning.
This should include an impact fee priced Per square foot of construction to
guarantee special conditions in a variance ( such as the above mentioned five
foot buffer zone ). The impact fee would be payable to the City of Miami at the
time of variance approval and held by the City for use at the site only. It
could be refunded when all conditions of the variance are met,
WO would appreciate if you would forward our zoning violation concerns to the
Building and Zoning Department and ensure that no further violations are allowed,

The Chairman. ! Members, The Planning Advisory Board,
The Tigertail Association is opposed to the proposed`
changes in zoning along 30. 27th Avenue between U.3,1 and -
Lincoln Avenue, and other areas in the vicinity.
Our membersb'.p,•has studied the issues involved with
persons knowledgeable in them and it is the membership's
that tho_changes will adversely affect the character
of the neighbourhood, and are not necessary to enable the
proporty owners to develop or redevelop their properties gainfully.
The Planning Department has estimated that 78,% of the
properties along 27th Avenue will not be redeveloped under
tits proposed changes within the forecesable future j yet those
roperties are likely to be adversely affected bythe changes.
4ay does the minority got controlling considcretion?

City Commission during hearings for adoption in principle of
t'r.o Planning Denartmont's report. Theplan received no serious —
