CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
Date: February 7,2012 afJ
From: Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City Manager (?;
Re: Manager's Report
A number of residents identified to staff that they were having poor reception of certain meetings which
were televised on channel 77. The city's IT Department commenced an investigation to identify the
problem of poor noise and picture reception and after two days of analysis it was determined that the
problem was only with citizens having U-Verse. Today, AT&T came to City Hall and discovered that
the problem was with one of their lines coming into the areas where the citizens reside. The verhal
reason provided by the technician was that the line was too long and thus the transmission becomes
garbled at times. AT&T is working on resolving the problem. This was not a City issue but IDC staff
assisted the residents in identifying the true cause of the problem and moving through the bureaucratic
landscape of AT & T.
My office received numerous calls regarding campaign sign and their proper posting on private
properties. Political signs are addressed in the Land Development Code, Section 24-4.3. After a careful
review of the current City Ordinance and the Miami Dade County Ordinance on the placement of
political signs, the Plamling and Zoning Director interpreted the ordinance to mean that a propeliy
owner is able to place one (I) sign per campaign or specific proposed charter/constitutional amendment
coming before the public for a vote. This would mean one sign per propelty for the mayor's race, plus
one sign for each of the commission race (See attached interpretation).
Additionally, the question on the same topic arose asking whether a property having a building or
buildings, where the building or buildings are divided into individual units for rent are subject to only
one sign per contiguous property. The Plaill1ing and Zoning Department asked the Miami Dade County
Zoning staff how they interpreted the county code and they stated that as long as the signs were on the
inside of the actual business unit they would be allowed to post political signs as per the zoning code
(see above; attached interpretation).
There are some citizens concerned about the proposed charter amendment relating to Article VI, Section
5. Franchise. The reason for the proposed change is that the City'S past practice has been to consider
City Manager's Report to the Commission for February 7,2012
the granting or renewing the right to use real property or an interest I the real property relating to parks
that are short term (less than one year) duration as a simple licensing process. With the advent of the
latest City Attorney's opinion relating to franchises the opinion also extended to entities with a contract
or any instrument providing that right to use real property which were routinely made for less than a
year. The adverse impact of having baseball, tennis, soccer, yoga, dancing, etc. lumped into the concept
of a franchise requirement would discourage the use of the parks by sports organizations since they
would have to go through a highly stringent process. The City administration is hopeful that the citizens
understand this limitation and would vote in favor of the charter change.
The following are the accomplishments for the period ending February 7, 2012:

City Manager's Report to the Commission for February 7,2012
i. Planning and Zoning Department:
1. The Department continues reviewing the Land Development Code, working in
conjunction with the Planning Board and the City Attorney to provide
recommended updates.
a. The Planning Board at its January 31, 2012 regular meeting reviewed and
recommended approval of certain changes to Section 20-8.9; Special
Exceptions within the TODD, which was referred back to the Board by the
City Commission. This item will be back before the City Commission for
"First" reading on February 21,2012.
b. An additional amendment to the Hometown District will be proposed to the
Plalming Board at their February 28, 2012 regular meeting, addressing the
time limit for development that is proposed to be reduced from 5-years for
substantial completion, to 3-years. This is being proposed to be consistent
with the TOD District amendment.
II. The Miami Dade Affordable Housing Foundation sUbmitted applications for the
development of several properties in the CRA. The properties, donated by the
CRA to the Foundation for the construction of Silver LEED affordable homes, are
all nonconforming lots of record that require variances prior to construction.
These properties were reviewed by the Plal1l1ing Board on January 31, 2012, and
were all recommended for approval. The City Commission will review the site
plans at the February 21, 2012 regular meeting. Following Commission review
and approval, the site plans will be forwarded to the ERPB for review prior to
permitting.
lll. The Miami Dade Affordable Housing Foundation will be submitting three (3)
more development proposals for single-family properties in the CRA, once
demolition of the two existing structures is completed, and the title policies are
fmalized. This is expected to be completed by February 10,2012. These three lots
are also substandard lots of record that will require variance review and approval
prior to construction.
iv. The Planning Board echoed Commissioner Pahner's request for additional
language to be considered, allowing substandard lots of record to proceed to
permit review without the need for lot variances. This proposal would not lessen
yard setback, or other building massing and coverage requirements. Staff will be
submitting proposed language for review at the February 28,2012 Plal1l1ing Board
meeting.
v. An appeal was filed to the City Commission from a decision of the Environmental
Review and Preservation Board, related to the denial of a non-illumined landscape
sign located at 6333 Sunset Drive. It is anticipated that the appeal will be
presented to the City Commission on February 21, 2012.

Re: Political/Campaign Signs
Pursuant to your request, I reviewedtbe City's requirements for political signs in tbe land development
code. The City Code allows one (J) sign as provided in tbe Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances.
Having reviewed tbe Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances, it is my interpretation that the following
would be permissible.
One (1) sign per campaign and/or issue would be allowed on private property,for each authorized
election.

Political/Campaign Signs -Multi Tennant Spaces
Pursuant to your request, I reviewed the requirements for political signs in the Miami-Dade County Code
of Ordinances and have also spoken with the County sign regulators. The City's Land Development Code
allows one (1) sign as provided io the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances. Subsequent to
discussions with the County, it is my interpretation that the followiog would be permissible.
One (1) sign per campaign and/or issue would be allowed to be displayed inside the window or
storefront of each leased multi-tenant space,jor each authorized election. Since the City's Code refers
to the County Code, the general size of these signs enumerated in the County Code is 22 inches by 28
inches. Additionally, businesses may only cover up to 10% of the window with signage.
