NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT
James Connell 7801 SW 59 Avenue Support
Mr. Connell questioned if the Board or staff could provide him with the details of what is
occurring with PB -10 -040. Mr. Youkilis responded that all properties in the city have two
categories. One is the Land Use category, which was adjusted about two months ago and the
second is zoning. This is a single - family zone, but it is now a park. This procedure has to be
followed in order to change the zoning district and Land Use Category.
Mr. Youkilis commented that the department recently received a letter from Mr. John Park. Mr.
Youldlis read the letter, which informed the Board that the citizens are in support of making
placing for Van Smith Park in the park zoning district.
Mrs. Young questioned who John Park is. Mr. Connell replied that he is an adjacent owner of the
property, who supports the item.
Mr. Whitman questioned how all the motions and votes will be determined since the items are
being read together. Mr. Morton responded that the motions could be made separate.
NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT
Seida Wood 6001 SW 79 Street Support
Mrs. Wood questioned if the park PB -10 -040 is going to be a passive park and could there be
some language to prevent the park from being an active park. Mr. Youldlis responded that when
the property was purchased it was to conserve it as a natural habitat. Mrs. Yates commented that
the intent is to maintain the native wildlife, vegetation and species. The property should look the
next thirty years from now.

Mr. Farfan questioned if the City of South Miami is the owner of the property (PB -10 -040) once

PB -10 -045
Applicant: City of South Miami
Location: 7435 SW 66 Avenue
An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida,
relating to a request to amend the official zoning map of the City of South Miami Land
Development Code by changing the zoning use district from "PI" Public/Institutional
Zoning Use District to "RS -3" Low- Density Residential Zoning Use District for the
property identified as the Rothan Residence located at 7435 SW 66 Avenue (Folio No. 09-
4036- 050- 0020); providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and
providing an effective date.
Action: Mrs. Yates read the item into the record.
Mr. Youkilis informed the Board that the item before them is a corrective action requested by a
City Commissioner and the resident. The property did have a Land Use category, which was
changed from Educational (four stories) to Single - Family Residential. The category change was
approved by the Planning Board and the City Commission. The application was submitted to
DCA and was approved as a small scale amendment. Therefore, the next level down still shows
that the zoning district is (PI) Public Institutions, which is used for schools. However, it is a
single - family house and should be changed to RS -3 Low - Density Residential zoning. The owner
of the property has been notified, but no response was received. Staff recommends the change of
the zoning district to be approved.
The Chair opened the Public Hearing.
No discussion
The Chair closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Morton questioned does the north portion of the property (the playing field) count as a park.
Mr. Youkilis replied anywhere where there is open space it is categorized as open space. Mr.
Vageline commented that since 1989, the property is labeled as park and recreation, but it is not
useable to the public.
Mrs. Beckman questioned if there will be in investigation on the property since a person was
able to change zoning into the four stories. Mr. Youkilis responded that page two provides the
description of the Future Land Use map. The error stated 1986 which showed the property as PI
on the zoning map. In 1997, when the first Future Land Use map came out it the property was
labeled as an Educational category (four stories).
Mrs. Beckman questioned if the Land Use plan was signed off by a City planner. Mr. Vageline
responded that when this task was under taken in 1986, it could have been done by consultants or
planners or a combination of both. The procedure is usually not signed off by individuals; they
are presented to the LPA, than the City Commission.
Mrs.. Yates commented that in 1989 when the Comprehensive Plan started, the whole city

received a category and this category was a mistake, but after twenty years this mistake should
not happen again. Staff does go through the maps to locate the properties that are not consistent.
Mrs. Young commented that under proposed amendment review, can the home not be rebuild
due to the conforming use? Mr. Youkilis replied yes.
Mr. Morton questioned when this change is made will the last sentence be removed. Mr.
Youkilis responded yes.
