1644 South ami Avenue.
CASE NO: 08-00304v.
Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance 11000, as amended, Supplement 16, the Zoning Ordi-
nance of the City of Miami, Honda, the subject proposal for MELICK RESIDENCE
CARPORT ADDITION at 1644 South Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida, has been sub-
mitted and reviewed to allow an application for Variance to relax the terms of the Zon-
ing Ordinances on required side setback, subject to all applicable criteria;
The proposed development "MELICK RESIDENCE CARPORT ADDITION" will be com-
prised of adding a new Porte Cochere structure of approximately 642 square feet of
floor area and fifteen (15) feet high to the existing one story single family structure.
REQUEST for a VARIANCE, as per, ARTICLE 19, Section 1901, ARTICLE 4, Sec-
tion 401, to allow a reduction of the required side setback for a new terrace struc-
ture;
Required 15 feet 0 inches.
Proposed 1 feet 0 inches.
Variance to be requested 14 feet 0 inches,,
The following findings have been made:
6 It is found that there is no hardship to justify the requested variance. The lot is over-
sized, having an area of 7,668.70 Sq. Ft., where a standard lot in the R-1 Single
Family Residential zoning district typically has only 5,000 Sq. Ft.
• It is found that the addition, as constructed, is excessive and out of proportion with
the existing residence.
• It is found that by developing the lot in the manner reflected on the plans submitted,
the property owner has derived undue benefits under the Zoning Ordinance.
• It is found that the existing addition for which a variance is sought and the other ex-
isting addition, results in a overbuilt lot with an overall effect that makes the subject
site appear crowded. Additionally, encroachment into the side setback deprives the
adjacent property owners of their rightful visual separation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
