Dear Ms . Jackson,
This letter is to confirm our conversation on. April 5, 1994 ,
concerning the property located at 7535 S.W. 62 Avenue which is
zoned "RO" Residential Office. The "RO" zoning district does not
allow an "Animal Hospital or Veterinarian" as a 'permitted use.
The existing use on the property is an "Animal Hospital" . The
existing structure does not conform to dimensional requirements
as set forth in the Land Development Code. The use and structure
are both non-conforming to the Land Development Code; however, if
the structure and use are preserved as is , the use may continue.
If you have further questions concerning this or any other matter
in the City of South Miami , please, do not hesitate to call .
Thank you for your interest .
Sincerely,
W am A. Mack y,

Re: Change of Code to Allow F.A.R. to be Consistent
with Lot Coverage Requirement in RO Districts
Dear Mr. Whitt;
This firm represents Austin-Daniels Animal Hospital which is located at 7535 SW 62nd
Avenue, South Miami, relative to the above referenced matter.
Austin-Daniels Animal Hospital is located in a RO (Residential-Office) Zoning bistrict.
Prior to my involvement, the owners of Austin-Daniels contacted the City relative to an addition
to their building. At that time, they were informed that the City would not allow the addition
because it exceeded the FAR. The owners then contacted me to inquire what could be done to
obtain the addition. In my review, it came to light that the FAR and Lot Coverage Provisions
were inconsistent with each other.
The Code provides that a property owner in a RO District may have a lot coverage of
thirty (30%) percent, but can only have a FAR of twenty-five (25%) percent. What this means
is that a property owner can cover 30% of their lot with a building, but can only construct a
building that covers 25% percent of the lot. Thus creating a discrepancy of 5%. Needless to
say, it would logically follow that if a property owner can cover 30% of a lot with the building,
then the property owner should be able to construct a building that covers 30% of the lot. As
a means of graphically demonstrating this concept, I have attached a site plan showing the
inconsistency between the lot coverage and the FAR.
In addition and as a means of comparison, I have enclosed a chart that depicts lot
coverages and FARs for various jurisdictions. While I do not endorse or suggest a different lot
coverage or FAR for the City of South Miami, it is important to note that in each instance, the
FAR is equal to or greater than the lot coverage.

In light of the above, I would kindly request to be allowed to appear before the next City
Commission meeting in order that we may discuss this matter in greater detail.
Thank for your courtesy and cooperation in this regard. I am available to meet prior to
the hearing should you have any questions or need any additional information.
Very sincerely,
F.W. Zeke Guilford
