ACTIVE 50948804v3 to qg Was' Ch L tt 6q�2/ Submitted into the public record for item(s) PZ.1 and PZ.2, on 07-23-2020, City Clerk a. No certificate of appropriateness shall be issued for new construction, excavation, tree removal, or any other ground disturbing activity until the city's archeologist has reviewed the application and made his/her recommendation concerning the required scope of archeological work. The board may require any or all of the following: 1. Scientific excavation and evaluation of the site at the applicant's expense by an archeologist approved by the board. 2. An archeological survey at the applicant's expense conducted by an archeologist approved by the board containing an assessment of the significance of the archeological site and an analysis of the impact of the proposed activity on the archeological site. 3. Proposal for mitigation measures. 4. Protection or preservation of all or part of the archaeological site for green space, if the site is of exceptional importance and such denial would not unreasonably restrict the primary use of the property. b. The board may issue a certificate to dig with a delayed effective date of up to 45 calendar days to allow any necessary site excavation or assessment. Recommendation from Designation Report Conservation Objectives: Every attempt should be made to preserve Villa Woodbine, its unobstructed view to S. Bayhore Drive, its limestone bluff, and the major trees on the site, while allowing sensitive development at the rear of the property and on adjoining lots. The City should work closely with a potential buyer to explore every alternative for appropriate development under the Zoning Ordinance. These conservation objectives can best be achieved by maintaining the present zoning of the property. An HC-1 zoning overlay district will maintain the existing zoning, requiring only the review of physical changes to the property. However, if certain zoning bonuses are subsequently identified that would encourage the preservation of the house and surrounding neighborhood while allowing new development, a change in the HC classification should be carefully considered. • We are presen'ing Villa Woodbine (and restoring it to original state) • Not obstructing views to Bayshore ACTIVE 50948804v3 Submitted into the public record for item(s) PZ.1 and PZ.2, on 07-23-2020, City Clerk • Limestone Bluff preserved • Major trees preserved, buildings designed around the trees Boundaries: The boundaries of the HC zoning district have been drawn to -include only that tract of land owned by William Siekman on which the house sits. • Only a portion of the Property is under the purview of this Designation Report, as described below Major Exterior Surfaces Subject to Review: :All four facades of villa Woodbine shall be considered major exterior ;surfaces subject to review. • All four, facades of Villa Woodbine will be preserved in their entirety.

Major Landscape Features Subject to Review: The major landscape features subject to review shall include the natural limestone bluff, the oolitic limestone wall, and all trees that are subject to the requirements for tree removal permits as set forth in Chapter 17 of the City Code. All applications for tree removal shall be subject to the requirements for Certificates of Approval and shall be reviewed by the Heritage Conservation Officer and/or Heritage Conservation Board. • Limestone bluff will be preserved in its entirety, with an educational viewing platform to enhance views of it (where it is otherwise obstructed today) • Oolitic limestone walls will be preserved/enhanced. A few surgical cuts will allow openings for access, but all of the stones will be relocated/repurposed on site. Limestone walls will be added along Bayshore Drive where they otherwise did not exist. • Major trees preserved on site. Prohibited specifies removed pursuant to Code requirements. Extreme care/effort taken to design around trees, including 3D laser scan (unprecedented in City) and a unique upturned beam design for tree #460. Because of the potential archeological significance of the site, any development activity, excavation, or tree removal shall be preceded by a professional archeological survey. This survey shall be coordinated with the Dade County archeologist. If significant areas are uncovered, conditions for mitigation shall be included as part of the Certificate of Appropriateness.
