Via: Ajibola Balogun, City Manager'
From: Sanford A. Youkilis, Acting Planning Director
Date: June 10, 2008 ITEM No.
Subject: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO AN APPEAL OF A DECISION
OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PRESERVATION BOARD TO APPROVE
THE INSTALLATION OF A PROPOSED "L" SHAPED AWNING AT THE NORTH
ENTRANCE TO THE SOUTH MIAMI CITY HALL BUILDING, 6130 SUNSET DRIVE;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
APPLICANT'S APPEAL
The Land Development Code Section 20- 6.2(A) provides that a decision or recommendation
made by the ERPB may be appealed to the City Commission by the City administration, the
applicant, or an interested citizen. Attached is an appeal filed by the applicant, City of South
Miami Public Works Department, dated June 3, 2008. The City Commission has 60 days from
the filing date to hear the appeal and enter a decision (reverse, affirm or modify the ERPB
decision).
At its April 15, 2008 meeting, the Environmental Review and Preservation Board (ERPB)
approved the applicant's request for the installation of the awning with the "L" configuration
located at the north fagade of 6130 Sunset Drive (ERPB -08 -030). The applicant is contending that
an alternative design for the awning (rejected by the ERPB) is preferred thereby resulting in the
subject appeal.
ERPB ACTION:
The ERPB first reviewed the proposal for awning installation on April 1, 2008 and approved
three of the four ( "B, C, and D ") awnings with conditions. The Board however, disapproved the
awning labeled "A," which was proposed to be installed from entrance to Central Services to the
north entrance of City Hall, including all of the brick patio in front of the building. At that time
the ERPB expressed its opinion that the proposed awning labeled "A" was not only
overwhelming and excessive but also not in character with the design of the building. It was
recommended that the proposal be redesigned to an "L" shaped configuration, connecting the
entrance to Central services with the north entrance to City Hall. The Board felt that this limited
design would be more compatible with the architectural design of the building. At the ERPB's
April 15, 2008 meeting the applicant implemented the Board's recommendation and resubmitted
two different awning proposals ( "T" and "L ") The :ERPB approved the proposed configuration
labeled "Alternative L."
SPECIFIC APPEAL ITEMS:
The appellant has claimed that the Board's recommendation of April 15, 2008 to approve only the
"Alternative L" design failed to consider safety issues related to the weather elements and the
adequate customer service that it will provide to the residents seeking services from both City
Hall and Central Services. Therefore, the appellant requests that the City Commission reverse the
decision made by the ERPB and approve the previously denied awning design "A" which was
proposed on April 1, 2008.
STAFF OBSERVATIONS:
1. In order to properly review the appeal, attached to this report is the ERPB approval letter,
application, staff report, meeting minutes, awning details, and photographs presented to
the ERPB on April 15, 2008 for Item No. ERPB -08 7030. The applicant requested that the
awning cover the north entrance of City Hall however, the ERPB ruled that the awning
with the "L" configuration will serve the function that the applicant desires.
2. The Planning Department did observe that the applicant's proposal is within the canopy
guidelines pursuant Section 20- 3.6(B)(5) of the Land Development Code and therefore
staff supported approving any one of the four alternatives submitted.
RECOMMENDATIONS
(1) The City Commission may wish to affirm the ERPB decision; this action denies the
application submitted by the Public Works Department. The awning would then be constructed in
the limited "L" shaped design.
(2) The City Commission may wish to reverse the ERPB decision; this action is essentially a
modification of the ERPB decision allowing the applicant to construct the more extensive awning
design "A" which was proposed at the April 1, 2008 meeting of the ERPB.

Attachment "1"
The reason for this appeal is to request approval of the original design
( Option 1, pages 1 through 3 attached). To illustrate the difference between
the approved "L" shape alternative and the Options 1 design, we have
shaded the area deleted from Option 1 (See Exhibit "A" shaded) .
Removing area "A" from the original design posses the following concerns:
1. The runoff from rain event would now be collected at the open
Area "A ". Thus creating safety concern, especially since the
area is tiled. With the original design, the water would runoff
into the landscape area just north of Area "A ".
2. With Area "A" covered with canopy, it would provide
additional waiting area for residents seeking services from both
City Hall and Central Services.

Acting Planning Director. I
From: Lourdes Cabr- rnandez Re: ERPB -08 -030 �d
Planner
Applicant: City of South Miami, Public Works
Location: 6130 SW 72 Street
Request: Awning Installation
APPLICANT'S REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval for the awning installation on the property located
in a Transit Oriented Development District - Public Intuitional (TODD -PI).
STATUS UPDATE:
At its April 1, 2008, Environmental Review and Preservation Board (ERPB), the Board
granted approval of three of the four proposed awnings, "B, C and D" The awning
located on the north fagade of City Hall, previously labeled on the site plan as "A," was
suggested by the Board to be restudied. The Board raised concern and questioned if
different awning alternatives had been considered.
It is important to note, that concerns about the awning design is justified because the
existing City Hall building will be designated an historic site in the near future (fifty years
old / designed by the most famous architect in South Florida). It is the Planning's
Department observation that for the proposed awning to appear as a part of the building
is difficult task. However, as indicated on the attached plans, Option Number One
reflects the Boards' comments and concerns. The proposed awning design illustrates
horizontal lines, which are best suitable with the architectural vocabulary of the existing
building design. Furthermore, two additional configurations, "T and L," are attached for
consideration and review if necessary.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The subject property, City of South Miami Government offices consist of several
detached buildings; City Hall, Sylva Martin, and the Police Department. It is proposed
that one awning will be installed on the north side of City Hall leading to the Central
Services Department at the Sylva Martin Building, The proposed awning will have new
structural framework and will be consistent in color and material as the other three
awnings previously approved by the ERPB on April 1, 2008. The awning color will be a
solid Glade Green CP2711 -62.
The awnings as proposed, comply with the regulations as set forth in the Supplemental
Regulations. Pursuant to Section 20- 3.6(B)(5) of the Land Development Code, canopies
are permitted as follows:

Mr. Lightfoot read item into the record.
Mr. Trautman questioned awning "A" and how the awning relates to the Sylva Martin building.
The applicant replied that it was due to the ability to provide for a covered walkway.

Pg 1 of 2
Mr. Chandler suggested that the canopy does not benefit or tie in with the building. However, an
"L" shaped awning will not take away from the building.
The Board adjourned to view the exterior facades of the building.
The Board reconvened to continue discussing the item.
Mr. Trautman commented that the existing entrance from the front of City Hall to the old Library
building cover connection seems excessive. Also, a connection is feasible from the beginning of
the steps to Central Services.
Mr. Fernandez asked if there were any other options explored for the covered walkway such as a
concrete roof or another structure. The applicant commented that the idea was not to provide a
permanent construction, but rather a canopy type.
Mrs. Marks suggested placing gutters in addition to canopy `B"
Motion: Mr. Bedell moved to approve canopies `B ", "C", "D ", deferred canopy "A ". Also,
suggested that gutters be added canopy "B ". Mr. Trautman seconded.
