The undersigned represents Ms. Ivelisse Reyes-Tovar regarding the captioned property. Please consider
this her Notice of Appeal of the decision of the Zoning Board on the captioned petition which occurred on
March 10, 2008.
The grounds for the appeal are as follows:
(1) The Zoning Board did not have all of the documents filed before when it considered the
application. Specifically, the Board could not locate a copy of the original survey which had been
timely filed. In addition, the Assistant City Attorney on duty that evening could not locate copies
of the undersigned's letter with supporting documents that included the lobbyist registration
forms. Without these documents the Board did not have the information necessary to render a
just decision on the substance of the matters.
(2) The applicant did not receive a fair hearing because members of the Board walked out during the
hearing and failed to hear all of the information presented. Members of the Board also began
verbally fighting with each other with members leaving and returning to participate in the verbal
jousting. The end result was that members voted to go against each other and not on the basis of
the merits of the applicant's case.
(3) The legal requirements of the hearing were violated. At one point during the presentation and
'- consideration of the case, the Board did not have a quorum. Several members left and were not
present when a motion was made. Some members returned without being present when the
motion was made, and then voted against other members without knowing what they were voting
for but for the purposes of opposing other members. The end result was a deadlock and a gross
miscarriage of the due process rights of the applicant. The public display was so egregious and
perplexing that at least one member noted and stated that the applicant had not received a fair
hearing.
(4) The Board failed to find that special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to this
property that warrant granting of the special exception. The structure is comprised of a single family
dwelling which was originally built in 1935 in its present location. The house is part of "KAYS GROVE"
which was platted by William E. Kay in 1925 and constitutes one of the more historic neighborhoods of
Miami. The property appears to have only been transferred twice. The original owner kept the property
from 1935 until her death in the early 1990s. The Estate then transferred the property to Walter Urquiza,
who subsequently sold it to Ms. Reyes-Tovar, its present owner. The construction was completed years
before the present zoning code came into effect and represents setbacks consistent with structures being
built at the time. The rear wall of the house has a setback of 7 feet which is similar to other structures in
the area.
(5) The Board failed to find that special conditions were not caused by Ms. Reyes- Tovar since the
structure was built in 1935 and has not been modified. Ms. Reyes-Tovar has never modified the structure
since her purchase in 2004.
(6) The Board failed to find that literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning code would cause
-- unnecessary and undue hardship on the petitioner since the present setback would deprive her of thirteen
feet all across her home. In essence, the setback would be in the middle of Ms. Reyes-Tovar's kitchen.
This would be unfair since the City has had 73 years to find that a violation exists. Furthermore, the prior
owner pulled permits for minor work which were granted without any allegation that a violation existed.
(7) The Board failed to consider and find that granting this variance would convey the same treatment to
this owner as others in the area since several properties exist with similar setbacks, all built many years
before the present zoning code.
(8) The Board failed to consider that the variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that makes
possible the reasonable use of the land since the variance would in effect permit what has actually been
there for the past 70 plus years. The variance does not request permission for new construction beyond
zoned setbacks; the variance requests legal acceptance of the historic setbacks for this home.
(9) The Board failed to find that the grant of the variance is in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of this zoning ordinance, and is not injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the
public welfare for several reasons. First, the home was actually one of the original structures in the
neighborhood. The character of the neighborhood was defused in part by this home and other similar
structures. Other homes in the area are also set back from the front of the property and the overall
footprint of this home is in fact smaller than neighboring structures so that there is preservation of green
areas on the lot consistent with the intent of present zoning.
We respectfully request that this appeal be duly noted and scheduled in accordance with all applicable
laws. In the event that any aspect of this notice of appeal is deemed legally or factually insufficient, the
undersigned respectfully requests that the City immediately notify the undersigned so that any deficiency
can be corrected on a timely basis.

Rev. 09-04-07
A Variance is a relaxation of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance where such action will not
be contrary to the public interest and where owing to conditions peculiar to the property and not
the result of actions of the applicant, a literal enforcement would result in unnecessary and
undue hardship on the property. As used in the Zoning Ordinance, a Variance is authorized
only for height, area, size of structure, dimensions of yards, other open spaces, off-street
parking and/or loading requirements (see Article 19 of the Zoning Ordinance). ► ®I

The undersigned represents Ms. Ivelisse Reyes-Tovar regarding the captioned property. Please consider
this her Petition pursuant to Section 1903.2 of the City of Miami Zoning Code requesting a special
exception permit for her property located within the City.
(a) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to this property that warrant granting of
the special exception. The structure is comprised of a single family dwelling which was originally built in
1935 in its present location. The house is part of "KAYS GROVE" which was platted by William E. Kay
in 1925 and constitutes one of the more historic neighborhoods of Miami. The property appears to have
only been transferred twice. The original owner kept the property from 1935 until her death in the early

Reyes-Tovar, its present owner. The construction was completed years before the present zoning code
came into effect and represents setbacks consistent with structures being built at the time. The rear wall
of the house has a setback of 7 feet which is similar to other structures in the area.
(b) The special conditions were not caused by Ms. Reyes- Tovar since the structure was built in 1935 and
has never been modified by Ms. Reyes-Tovar since her purchase in 2004.
(c) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning code would cause unnecessary and undue
hardship on the petitioner since the present setback would deprive her of thirteen feet all across her home.
In essence, the setback would be in the middle of Ms. Reyes-Tovar's kitchen.
(d) Granting this variance would convey the same treatment to this owner as others in the area since
several properties exist with similar setbacks, all built many years before the present zoning code.
(e) The variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that makes possible the reasonable use of the land

variance does not request permission for new construction beyond zoned setbacks; the variance requests
legal acceptance of the historic setbacks for this home.

(f) The grant of the variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this zoning ordinance,
and is not injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare for several
reasons. First, the home was actually one of the original structures in the neighborhood. The character of
the neighborhood was defined in part by this home and other similar structures. Other homes in the area
depeak are also set back from the front of the property and the overall footprint of this home is in fact smaller
than neighboring structures so that there is preservation of green areas on the lot consistent with the intent
of present zoning.
We respectfully request that the special exception be granted so that Ms. Reyes-Tovar may continue to
enjoy her home. If the board requires additional information please feel free to contact the undersigned at
the Board's earliest convenience.

APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING
ORDINANCE 11000 and THE CITY CODE, AS AMENDED, AND TO ALL
APPLICABLE CRITERIA, CONSIDERATIONS AND/OR OTHER REGULATIONS.
The proposed development "REYES/TOVAR RESIDENCE" will be comprised of
legalization of an existing laundry/storage room of approximately 266 square feet, and an
existing study room of approximately 112 square feet. The study room when illegally
constructed reduced the existing rear setback on the west side of property, from 9 feet 0
