VARIANCE - LOTS 1 - 3, BLK 24, BAY SHORE UNIT NO. 3: Attorney Joseph Reisman, representing himself and Mr. Morris Goldfarb, appeared and requested the Commission to uphold a recommendation of the Planning Board and authorize the issuance of a variance to permit construction of 3-story office building over parking on Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 24, Bay Shore Unit No. 3, with 28% lot coverage instead of permitted 26%, subject to a 5-foot dedication along Biscayne Boulevard, located at 5555 Biscayne Boulevard, in an R-C District. He stated that the reason for the request was that the 5-foot dedication along Biscayne Boulevard reduced the size of the lot to the extent that it would no longer conform to the City's lot coverage requirements for the proposed development. He pointed out that this five feet was not being used by the City; only being reserved through this dedication until such time as it may be needed for street purposes, at which time it would be acquired by the City. He stated that the frontage on Biscayne Boulevard was more than 230 feet and that this five- foot strip would make a considerable difference to his client if it could not be included for lot coverage computation pur- poses. He pointed out that this would amount to only a little more than 200 square feet of additional building area if the variance were granted and that it would not even be noticeable without measurement. He stated that the proposed structure would be a beautiful addition to the commercial development along Biscayne Boulevard. He emphasized that this matter of the lot coverage was the only point in question with respect to this application. He expressed the opinion that the peculiar shape of this property created a hardship of the type which would legally justify the issuance of a variance. He stated that a denial of this application would compel a substantial re- vision of plans which had already been completed in reliance upon being able to compute this five-foot strip, which he stated had not been acquired by the City and was still owned by himself and his associates. Mrs. Conrad Kremp, 420 NE 55th Terrace, appeared and ob- jected to the issuance of the variance, stating that she lived immediately across the street from the property in question; that it was located at the entrance to Morningside Park and a great deal of traffic congestion existed in this area and that the proposed use would make conditions even more hazardous for the children in this area. Mr. Reisman emphasized that it erect a large building on this lot, possible to do so under the City's was not contemplated to indeed it would not be regulations. In response to a question by Mrs. Gordon a gentleman identified as the architect for the proposed building stated that the plans provided for three parking spaces over and above the number required by the City for such a structure. An unidentified lady appeared and stated she was opposed • to the application for the reasons stated by Mrs. Kremp, and 4-20-72 11 in addition because of the peculiar traffic hazard which exist- ed at this location. She cited numerous serious accidents which had occurred at this location in the past. Mr. Christie suggested that the City Manager request the Metropolitan Dade County Department of Traffic and Transportation to study this location in an attempt to remedy the traffic hazard. In response to a question by Mrs. Gordon, Vincent Grimm, Director of the Department of Public Works, stated that the City had requested the State Road Department every year to widen Biscayne Boulevard along this location and that it was hoped that it would be done in the not too distant future. Mayor Kennedy expressed the opinion that Biscayne Boulevard at this location was very slippery when wet and that something should be done to correct it. Paul Andrews, Assistant City Manager, stated that this traffic hazard would be investigated and an attempt made to persuade the State Road Department to correct any conditions which might be found to be in need of improvement. Another unidentified lady appeared and objected to the application on the ground that it would permit the further aggravation of an already existing traffic hazard in this imme- diate area. Mrs. Gordon reminded those present that the applicants were legally entitled to build a structure on this property without any variance, the only difference being that it would be slightly smaller due to the lot coverage requirements. Mrs. Kremp re- emphasized that the property owners in the area were opposed to this application. After further discussion the following resolution was intro- duced by Mr. Christie, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 72-89 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM ORDI- NANCE NO. 6871, ARTICLE XI, SECTION 6, TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF 3-STORY OFFICE BUILDING OVER PARKING, ON LOTS 1, 2 AND 3, BLOCK 24, BAY SHORE UNIT NO. 3 (12-50), WITH 28% LOT COVERAGE (26% PERMITTED), SUB- JECT TO 5 FOOT DEDICATION ALONG BISCAYNE BOULEVARD, LOCATED AT 5555 BISCAYNE BOULE- VARD, IN AN R-C (RESIDENCE -OFFICE) DISTRICT (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerk's office) Upon being seconded by Reverend Gibson the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES; Messrs. Christie, Gibson, Plummer, Mrs. Gordon and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None. 12 4-20-72 Mayor Kennedy, on roll call, made the following statement: I want the neighbors to understand what the problem was here. We understand what your problem is here, and Mr. Andrews is going to initiate today some procedures to Metro- politan Dade County Government, and to the Department of Transportation in Tallahassee to see if anything can be done toward helping the slickness of the Boulevard, and also with Metropolitan Dade County in establishing a light there, which would help everyone in the neighborhood. Mr. Christie requested that the City Manager's office keep the neighbors informed of developments in this matter, and objectors present furnished Mr. Paul Andrews, Assistant City Manager, with their names and addresses. 11. VARIANCE - LOTS 1 & 2 AND 19 & 20, BLK 39N, MIAMI: Mr. Graham Mozelles, representing Harrington and Co., Inc., appeared to appeal from an adverse recommendation of the Planning Board on his client's application for variance to permit construction of two-story addition to structure located on the south 50 feet of Lots 1 and 2, and the north 45 feet of Lots 19 and 20, Block 39 N, Miami, with no front setback (5' required), waiving 5 of 14 required off-street parking spaces, spaces to be 9' x 20' instead of 10' x 20' required, located at 820 NE 2nd Avenue, in a C-4 District. He stated that this proposed addition was for storage purposes only and would not increase the activity in the area nor would it require any ad- ditional off-street parking over and above nine spaces. He stated that according to his calculations, as a consulting engineer for the applicant, only eleven spaces were required and not fourteen as specified by the City. George Acton, Director of the Planning Department, stated he recommended against the granting of this application on the ground that no hardship existed of the type necessary to jus- tify the granting of a variance. He reminded the Commission that, even though the present occupant of this building did not contemplate using this extra space for anything but storage, there was always the possibility that a different occupant might do otherwise. No one appeared to object to the application. After brief further discussion the following resolution was introduced by Mr. Plummer, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 72- 90 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM ORDI- NANCE NO. 6871, ARTICLE XVI, SECTIONS 4 (1) (c) (s), AND ARTICLE XXIII, SECTIONS 2 (2) AND 3 (32), TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF TWO-STORY ADDITION TO STRUCTURE LOCATED 4-20-72 13 • ON S 50' OF LOTS 1 AND 2, AND N 45' OF LOTS 19 and 20, BLOCK 39 N, MIAMI (B-41), WITH 0' FRONT SETBACK (5' REQUIRED), WAIVING 5 OF 14 REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES, SPACES TO BE 9' x 20' (10' x 20' REQUIRED), LOCATED AT 820 NE 2ND AVENUE, IN A C-4 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) DIS- TRICT (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerk's office) Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Mr. Christie, Reverend Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Plummer and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None. 12. CONDITIONAL USE - LOTS 2 & 3, BLK 4, COPPINGERS TROPICAL GARDENS: The following resolution was introduced by Mrs. Gordon, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 72-91 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A "CONDITIONAL USE" AS PROVIDED IN ORDINANCE NO. 6871, ARTICLE V, SECTION 1 (6) (c), TO PER- MIT USE OF LOTS 2 AND 3, BLOCK 4, COPPINGERS TROPICAL GARDENS (16-52), LOCATED AT THE N.E. CORNER OF•NW 7TH STREET AND 19TH AVENUE, FOR PARKING LOT, WITH NO ACCESS ON OW 19TH AVENUE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROPOSED STRUC- TURE TO BE LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 1895 NW 7TH STREET, LOCATED IN AN R-1 (ONE -FAMILY) DISTRICT (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerk's office) Upon being seconded by Mr. Plummer the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Mr. Christie, Reverend Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Plummer and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None. Prior to the introduction of the resolution Mr. Eugene Davidson, representing Edward A. Matson, the applicant, ap- peared to appeal from an adverse recommendation of both the Planning Board and the Planning Department on the application, stating that his client had withdrawn the request for under- sized parking spaces so that the only matter before the Commis- sion was a request for conditional use for off-street parking on the property. He submitted arguments in support of the ap- plication, and filed letters from the Dade County Traffic De- partment and from several residents in the area, all stating that they had no objection to the proposed use. 4-20-72 14 George Acton, Director of the Planning Department, ob- jected to the application on the ground that the proposed use would be injurious to the character of the immediate neigh- borhood. 13. REZONING & CONDITIONAL USE DENIAL - LOTS 43 - 50, BEACOM MANOR: Attorney Sam I. Silver, representing Inter National Bank, appeared to appeal from adverse recommendations of both the Planning Board and the Planning Department on his client's applications for change in zoning classification for Lots 49 and 50, Beacom Manor, from R-1 to R-C, and for a conditional use to permit drive-in tellers on Lots 43 through 50, Beacom Manor, located at the northwest corner of SW 27th Avenue and 6th Street. He submitted lengthy arguments in support of the applications, emphasizing that this was an attempt to improve existing conditions there. A delegation of persons appeared in opposition to the ap- plications, and a spokesman for the group, Dr. Conrad Newman, submitted arguments in opposition, emphasizing that the exist- ing use by the bank of this property was not compatible with the single-family residential development surrounding it, and the proposal to expand this use would be even more deleterious to the interests of the neighborhood. He filed a petition con- taining approximately thirty signatures of persons objecting to the applications. Mr. Edward Zipperer, 2543 SW 6th Street, Mr. Manuel Villamanon, 2511 SW 6th Street, also appeared and spoke in opposition to the applications. After considerable general discussion Mrs. Gordon expressed the opinion that a traffic hazard existed in this neighborhood and suggested that the Planning Director review this matter in the light of Section 29 of the general provisions of the City's zoning ordinance to see if any relief could be afforded the neighborhood. The following resolution was introduced by Mr. Christie, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 72- 92 A RESOLUTION UPHOLDING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING BOARD AND DENYING THE AP- PLICATION OF INTER NATIONAL BANK FOR CHANGE IN ZONING CLASSIFICATION FOR LOTS 49 AND 50, BEACOM MANOR, FROM R-1 TO R-C BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA: That the recommendation of the Planning Board to deny the application of Inter National Bank for change in zoning classi- fication for Lots 49 and 50, Beacom Manor, from R-1 to R-C, be, and it is, hereby upheld, and that said application be, and it is, hereby denied. 4-20-72 15 do Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Mr. Christie, Reverend Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Plummer and Mayor Kennedy.

REZONING - AREA BOUNDED BY NW 47TH AVENUE, NW 5TH STREET, NW 57TE AVENUE AND THE MIAMI CITY LIMITS: The Commission took up for consideration the recommendation of both the Planning Board and the Planning Department for pro- posed changes in zoning classifications for the area bounded by NW 47th Avenue on the east; NW 5th Street on the south; NW 57th Avenue on the west and the Miami City Limits on the north, all as shown on map exhibited in connection therewith. George Acton, Director of the Planning Department, explained in considerable detail the proposed changes, using maps of the area to illustrate his explanations, and stating that this was an area of the City which was long over -due for zoning changes. He called attention to a long series of public hearings on this matter at the Planning and Zoning Board level and stated that the proposed changes were satisfactory to everyone in the area with two exceptions. He called attention to the concurrence of both the Planning Board and the Planning Department in these proposed changes with the exception of an area of land along the south side of NW 7th Street in which his department had recommended, because of the predominantly residential development to the south, that this land be zoned to the most liberal commercial use which would also permit residential use, but that the owners of this property desired that their property remain C-4 instead of being rezoned to the recommended C-2 classification of his department. He stated that the Planning Board had acceded to the desires of these property owners and recommended a C-4 classification for this property. He discussed the relative merits of different zoning classifications for individual parcels of property in the area, emphasizing that his department recommended transitional zoning to separate the liberal commercial from the residential uses south of 7th Street. An unidentified lady appeared and stated she had been opposed to the change in zoning for her property from C-4 to C-2, but that she had no objection to such change if the C-2 classification would permit apartment house development. Mrs. Gordon suggested that the owners of the C-4 property along NW 7th Street in this area be permitted to appear before the Commission for further clarification of this matter, because it might develop that they, too, would have no objection to the C-2 classification after learning what it permitted. Commissioner Christie stated he concurred in Mrs. Gordon's suggestion. David Simpson, Jr., Executive Secretary of the Planning Board, stated that all the owners of C-4 property in this par- ticular area were present at this time with the exception of the representatives of the Chinese-American Club property. Mr. Irwin Gars appeared and urged the Commission to adopt the recommendation of the Planning Board in this matter, emphasiz- ing that it represented a compromise which had been arrived at after long and exhaustive public hearings on the matter. 4-20-72 17 gin. +me�.�rn After considerable further discussion Mrs. Gordon expressed the opinion that the Commission should adopt the recommendations of the Planning Department where they differed from those of the Planning Board, but that the property owners should be afforded an opportunity to be present before such action were taken. She expressed the opinion that the Commission should adopt at this time those recommendations which were concurred in by both the Planning Board and the Planning Department, and stated she would so move their adoption. There was no second to the motion. Mr. Albert Euley, 561 NW 48th Place, appeared and objected to liberal use being permitted to encroach into the residential area. He stated he had a petition containing the names of fourteen persons who constituted all the residents in the area who would be adversely affected by the proposed changes, which peti- tion he desired to file with the Clerk. He emphasized that this area was strictly residential and owner occupied. He expressed the opinion that apartment house development would destroy this single-family residential neighborhood. The Mayor expressed the opinion that this proposal was not clear to the Commission. After further discussion Mrs. Gordon moved that the portion of Mr. Gars' property which had been recommended to be changed in zoning by the Planning Department be changed in accordance with the Planning Department's recommendation. Mr. Simpson called attention to the difficulty of separating this property into individual parcels due to the large amount of unplatted land in this area. Mrs. Gordon stated she intended the property recommended to be zoned to an R-C classification. There was no second to the motion. A gentleman identified as Mr. Schacter appeared and urged the Commission to allow the existing C-4 zoning to remain as recommended by the Planning Board. After further discussion Mr. Plummer expressed a desire to inspect the area before any action was taken on the matter, and on motion of Mr. Plummer, seconded by Mrs. Gordon, it was unan- imously agreed to defer the matter until the next regular meeting in accordance with Mr. Plummer's request. Mrs. Gordon suggested that the staff of the Planning De- partment conduct a tour of the area and point out to the Commis- sioners the various properties and their peculiar characteristics. Mr. Louis Carples appeared and urged the Commission not to change the existing C-4 zoning in this area. He stated he con- curred in the recommendation for R-C property as contained in the proposed ordinance. 18 4-20-72 RECESS: The meeting was recessed at 12:55 o'clock P.M.

ORANGE BOWL - PERMITTING ADDITIONAL SEATS IN PRESSBOX AREA: Mr. Ernest McCoy, Director of Athletics for the University of Miami, appeared, together with a delegation of persons, and urged the Commission to permit the addition of 44 permanent seats in the Orange Bowl Stadium in an area located immediately below the press box. He submitted arguments in support of the request and exhibited sketches to illustrate his remarks, em- phasizing that these seats were sorely needed in connection with the university's promotional program and that they could be installed without creating any hazard. Dr. Henry King Stanford, President of the University of Miami, appeared and urged the Commission to favorably consider this request. The City Manager expressed strong opposition to the pro- posal, stating that it would eliminate any available space for persons occupying the press box to go in the event of an emer- gency. Lawrence Kenney, Fire Chief, stated he recommended against the use of this space for permanent seating due to the hazard which would be created by blocking escape access in the event of an emergency. Mr. McCoy emphasized that numerous prominent stadiums on the United States did not provide this space underneath their press boxes for such purpose. After further discussion the following resolution was introduced by Mr. Christie, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 72-94 A RESOLUTION GRANTING THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI AND OF THE ORANGE BOWL COMMITTEE AND THE MIAMI DOLPHINS TO ADD 44 PERMANENT SEATS IN THE ORANGE BOWL STADIUM IN AN AREA LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE PRESS BOX AT NO COST TO THE CITY, AND SUBJECT TO PAYMENT OF THE USUAL CHARGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ACTIVITY (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerk's office) Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Mr. Christie, Reverend Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Plummer and Mayor Kennedy.
