The Honorable Maurice Ferre
Members of the City of Miami Commission:
With regard to your consideration of the Special Yard
District on South Bayshore Drive, I would like to point
out the following facts.
1. Under the current zoning the average front yard
setback is 134 feet.
2. The width of the South Bayshore Scenic Corridor is
based upon the existing front yard footages---an
average of 134 feet.
3. The proposed uniform 70 foot setback for South
Bayshore Drive would cut the Scenic Corridor IN HALF:
4. The 70 foot measurement is taken from the center line
of the road which would result in front yards consid-
erably less than 70 feet.
5. This section of South Bayshore is part of a State
Historic Highway which provides protection for 100 feet
on either side of the road.
The City of Miami is fortunate to have a scenic
corridor and historic highway in Coconut Grove. We
are all aware of its historic, geological and
aesthetic qualities. It must not be allowed to be-
come a sterile and ugly concrete corridor like US1.
I urge you to continue your protection of this
irreplaceable asset bu maintaining the Special Yard
District zoning and strengthening it so that there
can be no more exemptions from the law such as
occured with "Bayview Sub".
If this is not possible, you must then establish a
minimum 100 foot setback if there is to be any hope
of preserving this unique feature of our community
for the future.
Sincerely,
Frances S. Maclntyre
