Staff Report-PB-87-006
If the projected night depository for use of the handicapped was part of
the Bank expansion plan,it is a hardship for the Bank due to the fact
thatbecauseofthe Sunset Drivewidening,theydonothavetheproper
setback to build the ramp.
If the night depository was not part of the expansion plan,they still can
claim a hardship in that they no longer have enough setback to expand their
operations.
In the actual building and site design,the best place to put the night
depository and ramp isthe location they are requesting.
The ramp is located and projected in such a way that protects the pedes
trian and handicapped customers from the traffic flow and therefore isin

ADLtdb
Pub]ic Win'.No.87-006 -Security.Federal Saving.*J^"*"^^"••vTrliSTrSrihTproposal of installing a ramp for the handicapped
6075 Sunset Drive,South Miami.
Peter Cagle and Jorge Azze presented this request before the Board in
behalf of Security Federal.The plans were reviewed and Mr.CagleexplainedthattheBankwantstoputinanautomatictellerfor™*
deposit,and they lack the proper setback ^^^^"^J^king aSunsetwaswidenedtoputinahandicapramp.The **£***e™0*variance for this purpose.The Board questioned P«"l"«'£/^r£orSunsetDriveinthefrontoftheBanksinceSunsetls•^°!h^*°rthroughSouthMia.i.The suggestion was to put he ^™J*%££ay
with the teller still in the front and to lower the teller and want ay
so there would be no need for a variance.
M0TI0N:Richard Prentiss moved to deny the application.
Christopher Cooke-Yarborough seconded the motion.
Christopher Cooke-Yarborough stated he felt there were anumber of other
ways the ramp could be put in and maintain the security with a compro
mise by putting the ramp and teller on the west side of the **££»with sufficient security and preserve the landscape Carrier in front
the building.There are anumber of ways ***™»£*?^*c tellerenhanced.Mr.Prentiss expressed his preference for the •?*«""?tellerwindowinthefrontof-the building,but the ramp on the •"•f1^Sunset Drive is the major sidewalk in the »"•^^^^^JSod.be dramatically reduced with the ramp.He feels there are ™*d
which would not compromise the safety of the people.*-***£"£****with Mr.Prentiss and he felt the visibility from the Police Stat ion
across the street would still be good and there would be parking.
Mr.Cagle asked for approval at this time,realizing they will come
back with a raised walk in front of the bank,for a variance for just
the walk so they can go ahead and draw the ramp on the side to save
a step in the process,based on the Bank's approval.
Mr.Coburn responded he did not believe that would be permitted as it
would have to be advertised and presented that way.The City Attorney
advised that with the motion before the floor for denial,the applicant
would have the ability to go before the Commission.If the applicant
wishes to make a decision at this time to modify the plans,then the
applicant would need to realize it would have to go back to the Environ
mental Review and Preservation Board and again to the Planning Board,
ifit were tabled or withdrawn at this point.As for partial approval,
the only thing the Board could address at this meeting would be the
variance for the purpose of installing a ramp for the handicapped as
advertised.
Christopher Cooke-Yarborough commented that he believed the two foot
terrace as well as the ramp would be encroaching the setback which is
the turning ramp.Mr.Azze said there would be no problem for others
reaching the teller if the teller were lowered.Mr.Cooke-Yarborough
thought the variance should be for the entire structure,the ramp and
the terrace.
Chairman Coburn suggested to the Board that the applicant make a decision
as to whether they want the Board to go ahead and vote and take it to
the Commission as it now stands,and if the Commission turned it down,
then the process would have to be started over.If the Commission denies
it,it would be a year before the application could come back.If they
deny without prejudice,it would be a six month period.The City Attorney
advised that if the application is withdrawn at this time,then any
change would go,as previously stated,back to the ERPB and the Planning
Board.The Code states,"When any request has been acted upon by the
Commission and has been denied or failed to pass,such proposed change
in the same or substantially similar form shall not be reconsidered by
the Commission for a period of at least a year."If they did not need
a variance,they would have to go again before the ERPB but not the
PlanningBoard.
Mr.Cagle indicated he would like the Board to go ahead and vote,and
Mr.Hoffmann cautioned that they should not go on anything that has been
represented as what miflht ho relevant to other areas.The Board is not
making any representations or determinations on any other sites or
locations.
