CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI I r
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER- OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001
To: The Honorable Mayor Feliu and Members of the City Commission
Request:
The historic designation of a commercial building at 5893 Sunset Drive was constructed in 1947, is part
of a series of downtown buildings recommended for designation by the Historic Preservation Board. The
attached Designation Report contains a detailed history of the building and includes photographs. The
attached designation report (p.4) describes the following architectural significance of the building: .
".The building, however, is one of the most visible along- this stretch of the highway, and the architect was
challenged to create a corner entrance at the apex of the triangle, and two fully articulated facades on the US I
(north) side and on the Sunset Drive [SW 72`1 Street] (south) side...... Although a small building, it is one of the
more distinctive buildings, and certainly one of the few remaining from this period of South Miami's history,
making it particularly significant. "
The City's preservation consultant concluded that the building is eligible for historic designation (p.6). In
addition, the property owner has testified at previous public hearings that they are in support of the
designation.
Designation Actions:
The Historic Preservation Board at its September 24, 2007 meeting reviewed the Designation Report,
conducted a public hearing, and adopted a motion by a vote of 7 ayes 0 nay recommending that the
historic designation be approved. The Planning Board at its October 10, 2007 meeting, after a public
hearing, adopted a motion by a vote of 6 ayes 0 nay recommending that the historic designation be
approved.
The property owner in a November 5, 2007 letter to the Plamling Department requested a postponement
of the designation. However, the City Attorney ruled that this letter was not a definitive statement of
whether or not the property owner was opposed to the designation, which requires a 415 vote of the City
Commission to adopt the designation ordinance. The Planning Department contacted the property owner
on several occasions via certified mail and phone calls in order to advise the owner that a more definitive
notarized statement certifying the objection to the designation be transmitted to the City Clerlc.
The designation item was approved by the City Commission on first reading (3ayes 2 nays) at the
November 6, 2007 meeting. At this meeting, the 4/5 vote was not required because the property owner
had not submitted the appropriate legal document stating their opposition to the historic designation.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the historic designation and the placement of an "HP-OV" district over the
existing zoning district for the building at 5893 Sunset Drive be approved.

Date: October 9, 2007
RE: LDC Map Amendment —HP-OV
(Historic Designation) 5893 Sunset Dr.
SUNENIARY
The Historic Preservation Board at its September 24, 2007 meeting reviewed an historic designation
report for the commercial building located at 5893 Sunset Drive. Following a public hearing, the Board
adopted a motion recommending that this building be designated an historic site.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Land Development Code provides that an historic designation recommendation must be enacted as a
zone map change. The "HP-OW Historic Preservation Overlay zoning district is superimposed as an
overlay over the existing underlying use zone. The procedures in the LDC require the Planning Board to
hold a public hearing on all designations recommended by the Historic Preservation Board. (Section 20- 5. 17 (E).
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD ACTION
Attached is the Designation Report for 5893 Sunset Drive which was approved by the Board at its
September 24, 2007 meeting by a vote of 7 ayes 0 nays. At the Board's meeting one of the owners of the
building advised that they are totally in support the proposed designation.
5893 SUNSET DRIVE: SIGNIFICANCE
The historic designation of a commercial building at 5893 Sunset Drive was constructed in 1947, is part
of a series of downtown buildings recommended for designation by the Historic Preservation Board. The
report contains a detailed history of the building and includes photographs. The attached designation
report (p.4) describes the following architectural significance of the building:
LDC HP-OV Rezoning

(2)
"The building, however, is one of the most visible along this stretch of the highway, and the architect was
challenged to create a corner entrance at the apex of the triangle, and two fidly articulated facades on the
US I (north) side and on the Sunset Drive [SW 72 "d Street] (south) side...... Although a small building, it
is one of the more distinctive buildings, and certainly one of the few remaining from this period of South
Miami's history, making itparticularly significant. "
The City's preservation consultant concluded that the building is eligible for historic designation (p.6).
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
(1) The building at 5893 Sunset Drive is one of six buildings identified as a "contributing building" in the
Hometown District Plan and Overlay District.
(2) The designation report and the procedures followed by the Historic Preservation Board are in
accordance with the current LDC regulations governing historic site designations.
(3) The designation of historic sites is compatible with several Future Land Use Element goals and
objectives contained in the City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan:
® Objective 1.2 Preserve historic resources by experiencing.no demolition or reconfiguration
of specified resources ......... 15
(4) The alteration, renovation, remodeling, or landscape change affecting the exterior of a designated
historic building will require special approval in the form of a "certificate of appropriateness" (COA).
This approval requires a review by the Historic Preservation Board and final approval by the City
Commission. The Designation Report contains a section entitled Design Review Guidelines (pp. 6-7)
which establishes architectural guidelines for the review of future certificates of appropriateness.
(5) The proposed designation will not require changes to any of the dimensional standards or permitted
uses currently applicable to the area's underlining SR(HD-OV) Specialty Retail, Hometown District
Overlay) zoning district.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the historic designation and the placement of an "HP-OW district over the
existing zoning district for the building at 5 893 Sunset Drive be approved.

II. SIGNIFICANCE
Specific Dates: 1947
Architect: E.J. Newby
Builder/
Contractor: Unknown
Statement of Significance
The architect for this commercial building faced a most difficult design problem,
resulting from the irregularity of this small lot (roughly triangular in shape, and
measuring 57.630 feet by 70 feet). The building, however, is one of the most
visible along this stretch of the highway, and the architect was challenged to
create a corner entrance at the apex of the triangle, and two fully articulated
facades on the US I (north) side and on the Sunset Drive [SW 72ndStireet] (south)
side. Built immediately following World War 11, when architects began to eschew
historicist styles, architect Newby returned to the Mediterranean Revival
character that dominated much of South Miami in its 1920s boom period.
Although a small building, it is one of the more distinctive buildings, and certainly
one of the few remaining from this period of South Miami's history, making it
particularly significant.
Contextual History:
The dramatic diagonal created by the Florida East Coast Railway line and the
construction of the South Dixie Highway (US 1) that paralleled it, caused the
creation of a series of pyramidal shaped blocks that were later platted. The
resulting lot shapes were irregular at the three sides of the triangle.
The block on which the building at 5893 SW 72nd Street was created, was
originally platted by Mr. H.D. Cooper and his wife Lovilla, in April, 1919, and
named "Coopers Subdivision". The subdivision witnessed its fair share of building
activity during the 1920s boom. The building on the north side of SW 72nd Street,
immediately west of the 5893 building (5875 Sunset), was constructed in 1925,
and the next west, "The Shelly Building", constructed in 1926.
In the Dorn Subdivision, the Dorn-Martin Drugstore and Bank (5900 Sunset Drive)
and the Post Office (5904 Sunset Drive), at the opposite corner to the west of
5893 SW 72nd Street, are also products of the boom in the Greater Miami region.
The real estate boom, had at best, a seven year span, and while great buildings
were constructed; following the ensuing financial collapse, many of the platted
lots were left vacant.
Local Historic Designation Report
5893 SW 72nd Street
Page 4
By 1928, there was virtually no construction activity in the Greater Miami area,
and with the stock market crash in 1929; Florida sunk deeper into economic
despair. Coral Gables actually declared bankruptcy, and the region looked to
Franklin D. Roosevelt's progressive New Deal campaign for work, and the
construction of many public buildings across the county.
By 1933 South Miami's population had grown to 1,500 residents, but its corporate
limits were reduced to an area of approximately four square miles. In the book
"Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State" produced by The Federal Writer's
Project under Roosevelt's New Deal and published in 1939, South Miami was
described in this way:
SOUTH MIAMI, 9 miles (1,160 population), originally named . Larkins for an
early storekeeper, was given its present name the day after his death.
Several plants here pack tomatoes, truck crops, and citrus for shipment to
market. South of the town are abandoned limestone quarries filled with
clear water and used as swimming pools.
The evidence in the growth of the City of South Miami is reflected in its building
permits. As the notion recovered, South Miami witnessed a revival as well. In
1936 the city reported the value of new construction at $53,700. When the
United States entered World War 11 in 1941, building virtually ceased, as the war
effort consumed American's efforts. The sacrifices endured perhaps
compensated for what was to follow. The United States and the South Florida
region, would witness mefeoric growth, as fens of thousands of returning GIs,
made South Florida home. By 1948, the city reported building permits valued at
over $1.7 million. If was during this period that Mr. MacDonald commissioned the
building at 5893 SW 72nd Street.
Ill. ARCHITECTURAL DISTINCTION
Permit drawings indicate the sophisticated geometry of the two -story building
E.J. Newby designed, described simply as "Commercial Building for Mr. A.
MacDonald". The plans are dated December, 1947. Newby designed a
building reminiscent of the Mediterranean Revival buildings in South Miami,
characterized by its:
® Masonry Construction with a stucco finish
* Stucco string courses that separate the first from second floors
* A flat roof and prominent parapet
® Applied ornament (the cast roundels that are evenly spaced across the
parapet wall.
® Use of steel sash windows on the second floor
The first floor contained square plate glass windows, no doubt intended for
merchandise display, although the original plans label the interior space as
"offices". An exterior staircase on the east elevation accessed the second floor.
Local Historic Designation Report
5893 SW 72nd Street
Page 5
Alterations
Over the years, the building had had multiple tenants, who have accomplished
alterations to adapt to their business requirements. For the most part, those
alterations have been limited to the interior, with the exception of the installation
of awnings, signs and canopies.
South Miami's permit records show no permits for major alterations, and the
building remains remarkably intact.
IV. Eligibility for Designation
The South Miami Land Development Code; Section 20.4.9 entitled "Historic
Preservation Standards" lists the following criteria that a property must
meet in order to be considered for local historic designation:
(a) Districts, sties, structures and objects of notional, state, and local
importance are of historic significance if they possess integrity of
location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and
association and:
(b) Are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution of the broad patterns of our history, and
(c) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, method
of construction or work of a master, or that possess high artistic
value, or f hat represent a distinguishable entity whose components
may lack individual distinction.
In our opinion the commercial building at 5893 Sunset Drive is a product of the
Post War Boom that represents one of the key periods in our history. Further, the
building's unique design, responding to a highly irregular site, demonstrates the
skill of the architect in achieving a noteworthy building. The building is eligible for
local historic designation under criteria (a) (b) and (c) above.
V. Design Review Guidelines
In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 20.5.19 of the City's Land
Development Code, any building permit for exterior alteration, renovation or
demolition of an existing structure, which is designated historic, or is within a
designated historic district shall first require the issuance of a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA.) The COA is issued after a review by the Historic
Preservation Board and City Commission.
The Historic Preservation Board shall adopt and may, from time to time, amend
the standards by which applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness may be
evaluated. In adopting these guidelines, it shall be the intent of the Board to

complete support of the designation. Staff observed that the building is one of six

NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE
Mary Anderson 5893 Sunset Drive Supported
Ms. Anderson identified herself as one of the owners of the building and advised she had
some concerns regarding the designation in the event she would sell the property. There is
a potential buyer and the individual was very negative about the building being designated
historic because they might want to combine it with the building next door.
Mr. Youkilis advised that the designation will not affect the sale. Mr. Perez added that in
the event the building does not get designated and it is sold than the new owner must meet
the parking space requirements as per the Land Development Code.
Ms. Young questioned if Ms. Anderson voiced her concern to the Historic Board. Ms.
Anderson replied with a negative adding that she was not aware until the potential buyer
made those indications.
Ms. Chael questioned whether Miami-Dade County Transit continued to consider the
pedestrian overpass bridge over that building. Mr. Perez advised that the County continues
its consideration of the pedestrian overpass connecting into the 5893 Sunset Drive building.
Motion: Ms. Chael moved to approve the designation of the building located on 5893
Sunset Drive. Ms. Young seconded.
