BACKGROUND: Detailedstudyofsubjectpropertyand surrounding neighboring properties is contained inthe PlanningBoardStaffReport [attached]prepared byGregoryJ.Oravec,Planning Technician. HARDSHIP STATEMENT REQUIRED:[foundonpage 112 oftheLand Development Code] Section20-5.6(C)requiresthat"All applications foravarianceshallincludealetterofintent indicatingthespecificnatureofthe hardship uponwhichtherequestisbased." NATURE OF THE HARDSHIP:[foundonpage135oftheLandDevelopmentCode] Thenatureoftherequired hardship is explained by language in Section 20-6.1(B)(3)(h),which enumerates thepowersanddutiesofthePlanningBoardandincludesthe following: Recommendations fora variance shallbe made only when necessary to relieve particular hardships or extraordinary conditions relating toa specific property, and when the strict application ofa particular regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional hardship upon the owner of such property as distinguished from reasons of convenience,profitorcaprice. City Manager's Report:HabitatVariancesResolution ANALYSIS: The traditional legal concept of hardship is well summarized in the attached document excerpt entitled,What is Hardship?,taken from the Metropolitan Dade County's publication entitled, Zoning Handbook.This summary is provided aspartofthe variance application packet inorder to give an understanding to potential applicants of the basic concept and dynamics ofa hardship. The property is a sub-standard lot of record with inadequate frontage and lot area.Setbacks for the district were designed to accommodate housing on a minimum lot with 60 feet of frontage and 6,000 square feet of lot area.Inadequate frontage or lot area are considered minimum conditions for hardship.Staff recommends approval of the request with the condition that the property be developed by means of standard concrete block and stucco [CBS]construction. The Planning Board voted 7:0 to recommend approval of the two requested variances. RECOMMENDATION:Approval.

In determining what is a hardship,one criterion is paramount.The "hardship"must be inherent in the land and not based on the people involved or the circumstances in which they find themselves.A classic example ofa hardship concerns a lot,which,because ofa peculiar shape or an extreme topographical feature,is virtually unbuildable under the yard requirements of the ordinance.This amounts to a defect in the land which deprives the owner ofa right enjoyed by all other owners of adjoining lots. The special conditions which must be found are those which apply uniquely to the property in question and which prevent its being used in the same way as other properties in its vicinity or in the zoning district.Under these conditions,the granting ofa variance would not allow a special privilege not enjoyed by other property in the same vicinity or zone.The conditions must be so unusual that the ordinance,as applied to the particular property,would probably be invalid in that a reasonable use of the property is not allowed. An "unnecessary"hardship is one which is not required in order to accomplish the objectives of the zoning ordinance.Some hardship (or limitation of privilege)is unavoidable.For example,restrictions against commercial use of property in a residential district is not an "unnecessary"hardship,for it is the clear intent of the zoning ordinance to so restrict all property in the district for the benefit of the community.Similarly,mere economic loss is not a valid hardship,particularly if the same loss applies generally to other properties in the district. Hardship cannot be self-imposed.The owner ofa building constructed in violation of the regulations could not claim "hardship"in being required to remove it.Ignorance of the existence or application of zoning regulations doesnotconstitutelegallyrecognizable hardship.... The variance should never be used to correct improper zoning.The hardship maybe real and unnecessary,but, it is also general,the proper approach is through a change of zoning by the legislative body,the City Commission.... As established by Florida's general municipal zoning enabling act,there must be special conditions in a specific case;the hardship must be unnecessary and the variance,if granted,must not be contrary to the public interest. The latter can be interpreted to mean "not contrary to the comprehensive plan"as outlined in the zoning ordinance.

PlanningTechnician Re:Habitat for Humanity Requestfor2Variances ITEM:PB-97-011 Applicant:Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami Request:Variances from Section 20-3.5 Eof the Land Development Code to allow a17-footfrontsetbackwherea25-footsetbackisrequiredandan 18.67- footrearsetbackwherea25-footsetbackisrequiredonpropertylocatedin theRS-4"SingleFamily Residential"zoningdistrict. Location:A vacant lot at 6272 SW 59 Place South Miami,Florida 33143 BACKGROUND The subject property is located in the Amended Plat of Hamlet Subdivision.Habitat for Humanity hasastrong presence inthis subdivision andthe surrounding area(seemap titled HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IN THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI),as evidenced bythe following: 1.HabitatforHumanityhasbuilttenhomesinthearea. 2.Therearethreehomescurrentlyunderconstruction. 3.HabitatforHumanityhopestoconstructthreemorehomes. The Amended Plat of Hamlet Subdivision andthe subdivisions inthe surrounding area are characterized by substandard lots (see attachment II)which often make it difficult to build a home within a conforming building envelope.This problem is exacerbated bythe fact thatthe City of South Miami's Land Development Code requires a zoned right-of- way of 50 feet for all residential roads.Therefore,these substandard lots are effectively madesmallerbecausesetbacksand building coverage figures arecalculatedby utilizing zoned right-of-way lines.Of the thirteen Habitat-homes constructed or permitted for construction,nine have required variances. (\ ANALYSIS The subject property isa substandard lot with an area of 4,800 square feet.The lotis 50 feet wide by 96 feet long and is an interior lot.Due toa zoned right-of-way,however,the calculatedlotdimensions are 50feetwideby86feetlong,witharesulting area of 4,300 square feet.Thus,the property has an allowable building envelope of 36 feet long by 35 feet wideor 1,260 square feet.The following table exhibits the allowed dimensional requirements and the proposed dimensional requirements for the subject property. DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS Requirement Permitted/Allowed Proposed Min.Front Setback Min.Rear Setback Min.Side (interior)setback Max.Building Coverage 25' 25' 7.5' 30% 17' 18.67' 17.17',7.5' 29.6% Staff hasidentifiedthefollowing characteristics of thesubject property: 1.Thepropertyisavacantinteriorlot. 2.The property hasonezoned right-of-way. 3.The calculated area of the property is less than the "RS-4"zoning district standard of 6,000 squarefeet. 4.The proposed front setback isless than the required 25 feet. Attachment III provides a map identifying the subject property and properties which sharesomeorall ofthese characteristics.Thefollowinggivesinformationaboutthe lettered properties: A.Theexistingduplexat 6288 SW59PLisbuiltona corner lot.The property hastwo zoned right-of-ways.Thesezoned right-of-ways reduce the property's calculated area to3,440squarefeet.Thefrontsetbackis19feet. B.Thevacantlotat6257 SW 59PLhasazonedright-of-way.Thezonedright-of-way reduces the property's calculated area to approximately 4,350 square feet. C.The existing duplex at 6273 SW 59 PL isbuiltbn an interior lot.The property has a zoned right-of-way.The zoned right-of-way reduces the property's calculated area to approximately 4,350 square feet.The front setback is22 feet. D.The existing duplex at 6289 SW 59 PL is built on an interior lot.The property has a zoned right-of-way.The zoned right-of-way reduces the property's calculated area to 5,481 squarefeet.Thefrontsetbackis22feet. (( Attachment IV provides pictures of the properties surrounding 6272 SW 59 PL.These pictures clearly demonstrate that the proposed setbacks will not adversely impact the surrounding properties. The investigation and analysis ofthe subject property and the surrounding area evidence thatthe proposed homeisin conformity with the surrounding area. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The application is consistent with the Goals,Objectives,and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Land Development Code •Section 20-3.5 (E) Comprehensive Plan •HousingElementGoal1and Objective 1.3 RECOMMENDATION The special characteristics ofthe subject property inhibit it from being used inthe same manner asother properties inthe RS-4 zoning district.Therefore,staff recommends APPROVAL of the two variances as requested. * riAJJUAl fUKtiUMATNii V IIN LtULi^lLY Ut 5UU 1*1 iVilAiVli S.W.62nd STREET S.W.g2nd5TEHHACE 23 T S.W.g3rrfST 12 516 s.w.sam ii|2{s{4Js|6{7{i{sMiic|71U?l«!I«l*iafii.rjj.ij ryy]T^n^glnTsyd^n I Legend SubjectProperty Homes Constructed Homes Under Construction/ Permitted Homes Planned for Construction Subdivision Boundary rrrr 8.W.64th ST | NORTH tl en LOT SIZE AND WD3TH OF DEDICATED RIGHT-OF-WAYS ATTACHMENT II AliE ^GL «6132^3 » 6MoA3}^ i/> rf*. -^cn w (/) 15 <k 15 •*J,A0* HA UI rj iS\f-'6124?vD 6116 ui 3 — 33 f\> CJ 6040. ,ru <°/V S.W.60 AVE. zr*c^ IU, '«* S.W.59a-.PL &M) 2 ^>0^ x ^CO B£=2l»J5 cui ru IS 0*vO >^ 15» !U o*JS222. 0J UM .ro »TV ru CO t tDi (/) -££_ ui i ruiV*- 81 13$s ui a d>~-( ai ui ro 11822 CO -en ro 50 33 8^©<2*® f TO 8?. uuT'*%J1 5,° 5925-27 •5r ©s ©' %"@ CO C - 15 35 ^--S.W.^59 AVE ^ ^ihS J ^3 <^7^i y 50 aim ,3v Jt& S jg ru 5 «i <^i«y.w V^/ 73WT x3 ai n)n ru SO* UN |C?»* III 1M3WH3VULV 6 2 8 8 S W 5 9 P L A T T A C H M E N T I V Su b j e c t Pr o p e r t y 6 2 7 2 S W 5 9 P L . i 6 2 3 8 - 5 6 S W 5 9 P L 6 2 5 7 S W 5 9 P L 6 2 7 3 S W 5 9 P L 6 2 8 9 - 9 1 S W 5 9 P L S' M L rt HABITATFOR HUMANITY OF GREATER MIAMI building houses in partnership with God's people in need March 28,1997 Building and Zoning Department City of South Miami 6130 Sunset Drive South Miami,FL 33144 Dear Sir or Madam: Re:VARIANCE APPLICATION, Letter of IntentandHardship Statement Lot 8,Block 1,"Amended Plat of Hamlet", PB 4-48,Dade County,FL. 6238 SW 59Place,South Miami,FL.
