3145 Day Avenue
CASE NO: 2004-0754
Pursuant to Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed to permit a new residence with the
following setbacks:
Street Side yard setback required: 15.0 feet
proposed: 6.5 feet
Request to waive: 8.5 feet
I.n determining the appropriateness of the Variance for the proposed residential project the
following findings have been made:
• It is found that the lot is legally platted with 3,750 sq. ft. The subject property is located on a
corner with only seventy-five (75) feet in depth, which reduces considerably the building
area at both of the sides of the property. This constitutes a hardship that limits reasonable use
of the property and therefore justifies the requested street side setback variance.
• It is found that the proposed position for the new building will allow the two existing mature
oak trees to remain at the front of the property, which further limits the possibility of
complying with above mentioned setback requirement.
• It is found that the proposed project offers the most reasonable solution to the design
problem facing this particular site.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
approval of the requested variances as presented.
