RE: Request for Review by City Commission of Zoning Board Decision Denying
Appeal of a Class II Special Permit at 7460 Biscayne Boulevard.
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
This firm represents numerous residents in the Palm Grove neighborhood,
including Eileen Bottari and Abbie Cuellar (the "Appellants") in connection the above
referenced requested Class 1I Special Peiiuit. Pursuant to Miami Zoning Code, Article
20, please consider this our foinial "request for review by the city commission".
On or about July 15, 2004, the City issued a Class II special building permit to
construct a multi -story residential development at 7460 Biscayne Boulevard directly
abutting the low density single family neighborhood of Palm Grove. On or about October
4, 2004, the City's Zoning Board denied Appellants' appeal of this decision and affirming
the decision to issue the permit.
Appellant alleges that the approval of this project and subsequent denial of the
appeal is not based on substantial competent evidence, departs from the essential
requirements of the law, fails to afford adequate due process, and is inconsistent with the
City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, particularly
Section 1305.
Enclosed with this request for review is a check in the amount of $500 required by
your departmental rules and regulations. We appreciate your scheduling this matter
before the City Commission at your earliest convenience.
Very ours,
Andre ickrnan, AICP, Esq.
