Re: Appeal for Application for shutters at 25 SE 2nd Avenue
TO: OFFICE OF NEARING BOARDS
Dear TERESITA FERNANDEZ:
This is an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act.
On May 20th, 2008 we applied for a permit at the City of Miami for the roll down shutters at the
Ingraham Building located at 25th 2nd avenue, Miami Florida 33131.
The Process case # 080008598 that we started went satisfactory through the departments of BUILDING,
ELECTRICAL AND CODE COMPLIANCE until we got through the PH Department when they put us into the
agenda for the public hearing on the 1st of July, 2008.
During the process of public hearing the board decided to give us a resolution which we are very
interested in appealing .In our opinion it is discriminatory since within the same building 99% percent of the
premises have the same style of doors that we have placed. The copy of the resolution is attached to this letter
so it would avoid any mistakes in transcription.
We feel Selective Enforced to make the changes enforced by the board since all the stores from
other also historical buildings have the same shutters as us.
Here we can say that the three majors buildings MAURICE GUSMAN CULTURAL CENTER FOR
THE PERFORMING ARTS across the street, ALFRED DU PONT BUILDING on the right side from our store,
and THE HUNTINGTON BUILDING on the left side in which we have a complete full view from our store, as
well as our building other stores have the same roll -down shutters as ours so because of that we would love
to have the opportunity to explain the Hearing Board about our appeal today.
Also you can find attached to this letter a copy from the BUILDING DEPARTMENT PERMIT
APPLICATION that I mentioned above went through the departments from ELECTRICAL, CODE COMPLIANCE
AND BUILDING without any compliances.
Our decision on getting the rolling doors as we are a retail store was for prevention on theft and
hurricane disaster. We are a computer and retail store with a large amount of goods that we have to secure
when we close the store.

Victor's is a Brazilian Retail Store with over 30 years of experience in the electronic Market and have invested
large publicity in Brazil to attract the thousands per month Brazilian tourist back to Downtown area, as it was
in the 90's.
We were the reason Brazilian tourist came to this area then and they were gone after we closed our
operations in Downtown in 2000. Now with our re opening we started the same process in Brazil to bring
them back and we feel largely responsible for bringing the big flow of Brazilian tourist back to Downtown
now and in years to come.
Also you can find copy from some pictures in reference to the Ingraham Building that belongs to
the other 99 % stores carrying the same structure, same materials and same color rolling doors. Our big
concern is why we are going through all this process getting ourselves in some kind of different package from
all others.
Thank you for your consideration of this appeal.
Sincerely,
Mr. Robert MIESSLER
As Vice-president
