RE: Request for Review by City Commission of Zoning Board Decision
Denying Appeal of a Class II Special Permit at 5101 Biscayne
Boulevard.
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
This firm represents the Morningside Civic Association, Inc. (the 66Appellant") in
connection the above referenced requested Class II Special Permit. Pursuant to Miami
Zoning Code, Article 20, please consider this our forestal "request for review by the city
commission".
On or about July 15, 2004, the City issued a Class li special building permit to
construct a multi -story residential development at 5101 Biscayne Boulevard directly
abutting the low density single family neighborhood of Morningside. On or about
October 4, 2004, the City's Zoning Board denied Appellants' appeal of this decision and
affirming the decision to issue the penults.
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 try,ly yo
drew Dickman, AICP, Esq.
