re: Appeal of SCOA to allow new construction at
5965 N.E. 6th Avenue
Miami, Florida 33137
Resolution # HEPB-R-19-018
* T:305.467-6141
I write to you as a Registered Architect in the State of Florida, on behalf of Peter & Michele Wagoner in
support of their Appeal of the Special Certificate of Appropriateness (SCOA) to not allow the new
construction of a one and two story residential structure proposed to be constructed at 5965 NE 6th
Avenue, on a parcel zoned T3-R "Sub -Urban Transect Zone", awarded by the City of Miami HEP Board
on April 2, 2019 (the "Project") as is currently proposed.
I have been an Architect in private practice in South Florida since 1992. Prior to being based in Fort
Lauderdale I was based in Miami Beach for 24 years. My architectural practice specializes in Historic
Preservation Consulting.
FRONT SETBACK
The front setback of the proposed Project currently allows for only a 20 foot front yard set -back per
Miami 21 zoning. HOWEVER since this proposed project is located within the boundaries of the
Morningside Historic District, the required setbacks should better reflect the higher standard of the
Historic District in which the proposed project is to be located. As a minimum the front setback should
not be less than the houses on either side.
Morningside Historic District guidelines should prevail over Miami 21 zoning in this situation. Although
the Guidelines are vague in elaborating exact front yard setbacks, the built environment shows that each
house relies to the houses next door with similar setbacks. That is the built pattern of the neighborhood.
Allowing any portion of this proposed new residence to retain the minimum 20'-0" setback of Miami 21
will adversely affect the historic, architectural and aesthetic character of the immediate neighborhood
and set a destructive precedent for future projects within the Morningside Historic District. This
proposed project will adversely affect the neighborhood and impose a hardship by not maintaining
established historic district norms and regulations. This property is also a double lot.

While we appreciate the natural materials proposed for the residence, we would ask to look at this from
all sides. We understand that it is likely that the courtyard elevations are receiving most of the attention,
yet please remember that the elevations seen by your neighbors are also very important. How these
outward elevations interact with the neighboring structures, or not; is very important. We would ask
that the house not look like a walled fortress on the side lot lines from neighboring residences in
deference to the intent of the proposed home to be non -intrusive in the neighborhood.
The materials and sensitivity to the natural environment will hopefully make this proposed project a good
neighbor. Thus we are confident that the Architect of this proposed project can adjust proportions of the
massing of different blocks comprising the proposed residence, to bring the structure into better
compliance with neighborhood Morningside Historic District setbacks, provide a friendlier elevation
interface with neighboring residences while retaining the home's essential architectural character.
FENCES
The Morningside Historic District Guidelines state that: "Generally, enclosures may not be located in
front of a main facade." The open-ness of the Morningside neighborhood is evident in the lack of any
such tall fences separating neighbors. This open-ness is a defining characteristic of the neighborhood.
This proposed 6'-0" tall fence at the front yard of this proposed project will adversely affect the
neighborhood and impose a hardship by not maintaining established historic district norms and
regulations. It would set a dangerous precedent for all future projects in the neighborhood.
Fences should comply with the Morningside Historic District Guidelines which do not allow chain link
fencing at the front of a residence. The guidelines state also that only vinyl coated chain link fencing in a
dark color is permitted elsewhere around the residence. This property is also a double lot so the fencing
will be much more visible.
Thank you for your consideration of these issues.
Yours truly,
Arthur J. us Architect P.A.
