A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION
20- 3.5(E) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ALLOW FOR A NEW SINGLE
FAMILY HOME TO HAVE A REAR SETBACK OF 19.1 FEET WHERE A MINIMUM
25 FOOT REAR SETBACK IS REQUIRED: ALL ON A PROPERTY WITHIN AN "RS-
411 SINGLE- FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 6400 SW 57TH
COURT, SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The City of South Miami is requesting approval of a variance in order to allow the construction of
a single - family home at 6400 SW 57 Court. The home is located on a lot owned by the City's
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the construction of the home is part of the
CRA's homeownership program. The property cannot be developed in accord with current plans
due to a rear setback issue. In that the property is owned by the City, the Planning Department has
initiated the variance request.
BACKGROUND
In 2004 the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency assigned the construction of
several affordable single - family homes to the Greater Miami Neighborhoods Inc., a non - profit
housing developer. After construction started the developer discovered an error made by the
architect on the submitted plans. The home was being constructed with the building line 19.1 feet
from the rear property line which was not consistent with the Land Development Code
dimensional requirement that a rear setback must be 25 feet in the RS -4 zoning district. The
outside walls of the home were already constructed. The developer should have been advised to
seek a variance or re- locate (move) the rear wall of the house to be consistent with the required 25
foot setback.
NEW DEVELOPER
Due to financial problems the developer of the project abandoned the work on the subject site in
2006. The CRA Board in March, 2008 selected a new developer, EDFM Corp. to complete the
construction of the home. The new developer was required to submit updated plans because the
ERPB approvals in 2005 had expired and new standards in the Florida Building Code are
applicable to this project. The revised plans submitted on April 11, 2008 were reviewed by the
Planning Department's current zoning review officer. The plans for the residence maintained the
existing outer walls of the building. Therefore the problem with the rear setback of the partially
4
constructed rear wall remained at 19.1 feet vs. the required 25 feet. The Department's zoning
officer rejected the plans resulting in the current situation.
CURRENY OPTIONS
In order for this project to proceed, there are only two alternatives:
(1) Remove the existing partially built walls of the structure and redesign the residence so that it
fits on the lot within the required setback. This would be a difficult situation in that the CRA has
already approved a buyer who has been waiting for over 3 years for the new home. The cost of a
re-design of the house would add significant cost to be absorbed by the CRA or the homeowner.
(2) The granting of a rear yard variance by the City reducing the rear setback from 25 feet to 19.1
feet.
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
(1) The subject site is surrounded on the north by a large single family property in the
unincorporated County. To the south and west are single family homes. To the east is a multi-
family townhouse project.
(2) The proposed project will be a one story single family residence with 3 bedrooms and two
baths on a 5865 square lot. The size of the building is 1612 square feet. The submitted plans
indicate that the proposed structure complies with all dimensional requirements except for the
rear yard setback.
(3) The placement of affordable housing units on small substandard size lots is a difficult task
when considering the needs of current families. This particular site at a corner intersection is
even smaller than surrounding properties due to the land area used for the corner rounding.
This reduced lot size is a physical hardship only applicable to certain properties.
(4) The City staff during the period 2004 -2005 should have recognized the rear yard setback
deficiency at that time and insisted upon either redesign or a variance procedure.
(5) The abandonment of the project by the original developer did not help the situation and did
create a hardship for the CRA and the potential homeowner.
(6) The City's Comprehensive Plan specifically states that the construction of affordable housing
is a major goal of the City.
(7) The variance requested will have minimal impact on surrounding properties. The variance is
also necessary to use the property to create an affordable housing opportunity.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board at its May 13, 2008 meeting, after a public hearing, adopted a motion by a
vote of 5 ayes 0 nays recommending that the proposed variance be approved.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the requested variance for 6400 SW 57
Court.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION
20- 3.5(E) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ALLOW FOR A NEW SINGLE
FAMILY HOME TO HAVE A REAR SETBACK OF 19.1 FEET WHERE A MINIMUM
25 FOOT REAR SETBACK IS REQUIRED: ALL ON A PROPERTY WITHIN AN "RS-
4" SINGLE - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 6400 SW, 57th
COURT, SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The City of South Miami is requesting approval of a variance in order to allow the construction of
a single - family home at 6400 SW 57 Court. The home is located on a lot owned by the City's
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the construction of the home is part of the
CRA's homeownership program. The CRA selects a builder to construct the home which is then
sold to a selected buyer who qualifies as a. low income homeowner. The property cannot be
developed in accord with current plans due to a rear setback issue. In that the property is owned
by the City, the Planning Department has initiated the variance request.
BACKGROUND ,
In 2004 the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency assigned the construction of
several affordable single - family homes to the Greater Miami Neighborhoods Inc., a non - profit
housing developer. The homes were to be built on CRA properties and then sold to qualified
home buyers. The final plans for construction on one of the sites at 6400 SW 57 Court was
approved by the City's Environmental Review Preservation Board at its March 1, 2005 meeting.
After construction started the developer discovered an error made by the architect on the
submitted plans. The home was being constructed with the building line 19.1 feet from the rear
property line which was not consistent with the Land Development Code dimensional
requirement that a rear setback must be 25 feet in the RS -4 zoning district. The outside walls of
the home were already constructed. It is believed that construction work on the site stopped.
In order to correct the situation and to allow construction to continue, the developer in September
of 2005 filed an Administrative Waiver request to permit a rear setback of 19.1 feet. An
PA
Administrative Waiver, if granted, permits a small change /reduction in a dimensional requirement
without using the variance process. There are no City records that the waiver process was ever
completed. The Planning Director at that time should have advised the applicant that an
Administrative Waiver request could not be filed. The Land Development Code does not allow
administrative waivers in RS -4 Residential zones. The developer should have been advised to
seek a variance or re- locate (move) the rear wall of the house to be consistent with the required 25
foot setback.
Due to financial problems the developer of the project abandoned the work on the subject site in
2006. The CRA Board in March, 2008 selected a new developer, EDFM Corp. to complete the
construction of the home.
The original plans for the project approved by the ERPB and all of the Planning Department's
record files on this site are missing and a search is continuing. The employees who were
responsible for the project review are no longer employed by the City.
The new developer was required to submit updated plans because the ERPB approvals had
expired and new standards in the Florida Building Code are applicable to this project. The revised
plans submitted on April 11, 2008 were reviewed by the Planning Department's current zoning
review officer. The plans for the residence maintained the existing outer walls of the building.
Therefore the problem with the rear setback of the partially constructed rear wall remained at 19.1
feet vs. the required 25 feet. The Department's zoning officer rejected the plans resulting in the
current situation.
CURRENT SOLUTIONS
In order for this project to proceed, there are only two alternatives:
(1) Remove the existing partially built walls of the structure and redesign the residence so that it
fits on the lot within the required setback. This would be a difficult situation in that the CRA has
already approved a buyer who has been waiting for over 3 years for the new home. The cost of a
re- design of the house would add significant cost to be absorbed by the CRA or the homeowner.
(2) The granting of a rear yard variance by the City reducing the rear setback from 25 feet to 19.1
feet.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS (See ATTACHNMENT)

STAFF OBSERVATIONS
(1) The subject site is surrounded on the north_ by a large single family property in the
unincorporated County. To the south and west are single family homes. To the east is a multi-
family townhouse project.
(2) The proposed project will be a one story single family residence with 3 bedrooms and two
baths on a 5865 square lot. The size of the building is 1612 square feet. The submitted plans
indicate that the proposed structure complies with all dimensional requirements except for the
rear yard setback.
(3) The placement of affordable housing units on small substandard size lots is a difficult task
when considering the needs of current families. This particular site at a corner intersection is
even smaller than surrounding properties due to the land area used for the corner rounding.
This reduced lot size is a physical hardship only applicable to certain properties. .
(4) The City staff during the period 2004 -2005 should have recognized the rear yard setback
deficiency at that time and insisted upon either redesign or a variance procedure.
V 45) The abandonment of the project by the original developer did not help the situation and did
create a hardship for the CRA and the potential homeowner.
J4) The City's Comprehensive Plan specifically states that the construction of affordable housing
is a major goal of the City.
�5) The variance requested will have minimal impact on surrounding properties. The variance is
also necessary to use the property to create an affordable housing opportunity.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION
20- 3.5(E) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ALLOW FOR A- NEW SINGLE
FAMILY HOME TO HAVE A REAR SETBACK OF 19.1 FEET WHERE A MINIMUM
25 FOOT REAR SETBACK IS REQUIRED: ALL ON A PROPERTY WITHIN AN "RS -4"
SINGLE - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 6400 SW 57th COURT,
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Action: Mr. Cruz read the item into the record.
Mr. Youkilis advised that when the project was initiated the developer, Greater Miami
Neighborhoods Inc., selected by the CRA, abandoned the project after the project plans were
approved by the Environmental Review and Preservation Board (ERPB) on March 2005. Under
this project a qualified buyer was selected in advance, however, the project could not be completed
due to a rear setback issue. In 2005 after the project was granted approval by the ERPB the
architect discovered that the walls were erected at 19 feet rear setback as opposed to the required
25 feet. Construction work was stopped and the applicant was advised by staff that an
administrative waiver could be applied for. The process however was ceased because the
contractor, at that time, abandoned the property. The CRA since has awarded the project to EDFM
Corporation. The current zoning review officer discovered that the rear setback problem had not

Page 2 of 2
been corrected. The property has had an owner waiting for the home for over three years. The
shape of the lot the lot looses square footage at the corner resulting in a lot being below the
minimum requirement of 6,000 in an RS -4 zoning district thus creating a hardship. The City staff
during the period 2004 -2005 should have recognized the rear yard setback deficiency at that time
and insisted upon either redesign or a variance procedure. The abandonment of the project by the
original developer did not help the situation and did create a hardship for the CRA and the potential
homeowner. The City's Comprehensive Plan specifically states that the construction of affordable
housing is a major goal of the City. The variance requested will have minimal impact on
surrounding properties. The variance is also necessary to use the property to create an affordable
housing opportunity. It is recommended that the Board recommend approval of the requested
variance for 6400 SW 57 Court.
Mr. Morton recommended that the City, if not doing so now, should require a foundation survey in
order to avoid the current situation. The CRA shall be looking into a payment performance bond
as well. Mr. Cruz questioned if the property will have the ability to obtain an administrative waiver
even after the variance is approved. Mr. Youkilis advised that an administrative waiver could not
be used in an RS -4 zoning district. Mr. Youkilis speculated that in the RS -4 and RS -5 districts lots
are smaller and when the administrative waiver process was created it was expressed that such
process could have a larger-impact on the property due to its size. More than one variance can be
asked for. Mr. Youkilis advised that administrative waiver themselves are not an easy process
because the neighbors must approve. Staff has not received any protests from the neighbors within
the 500 feet radius used for public notice mail -out.
Mr. Stephen David, .CRA Director, advised that Greater Miami was a reputable developer at that
time and since they have filed for bankruptcy. It took some effort to clear title on the property
because of the liens the property incurred against it and the CRA will return title to the homeowner.
Mr. David also advised that the CRA now requires a performance bond.
Ms. Young requested that staff research the background as to why the RS -4 zoning district is
excluded from the administrative waiver process.
Motion: Mr. Cruz moved to approve the variance request to allow a rear setback of 19.1 feet and
Ms. Young seconded.
