Re; Appeal of Zoning Board Action; Legistar File No. 06-00429x; Item Z.3 on
March 27, 2006 Agenda
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
On behalf of Julien Robeson and P.HG-Holdings, LLC we hereby file this appeal of the
Zoning Board's action on March 27, 2006 pursuant to Section 2001 of the City of Miami
Zoning Ordinance No. 11000. Although the application received four votes in favor of the
application and only two against, because passage requires five affirmative votes, the
application was deemed denied. This denial due to less than complete attendance by the board
members was arbitrary and capricious and not supported by competent substantial evidence.
The appeal fees for this matter were collected by your department in the form of a
surcharge at time of application.
The application proposes an elderly housing project. Approval of the project must be
in place prior to the close of business on April 10, 2006 in order to qualify for state funding:,;
Accordingly, please schedule the appeal hearing as soon as possible.
Ms. Teresita Fernandez
