Segafredo Zanetti is the leading espresso producers in Italy and approval of the requested Special Use will introduce a recognized name brand cafe to the Hometown District that will enhance existing dining options, as well as improve the pedestrian experience in the area. This letter shall serve as the applicant's letter of intent. Property. The property is approximately .23 acres in size and is located in the Hometown District on southeast corner of S.W. 581h Avenue and S.W. 73rd Street. The property has a large street frontage, which makes it particularly well suited for a cafe /restaurant type of use. The proposed plan prepared by D.B. Lewis Architecture + Design proposes a significant improvement to the current appearance of the property. Plan. The plan essentially modifies the existing non - descript building by creating attractive open spaces that make better use of the corner. and are more pedestrian friendly. The revised fagade of the building is appropriate for a WACHOVIA FINANCIAL CENTER • 200 SOUTH BISCAYNE BOULEVARD, SUITE 850 • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33131 Mr. Sanford Youkilis July 11, 2008 Page 2 cafe /restaurant and improves the building's aesthetic features by adding an exterior colonnade that will accommodate outdoor seating. HTD Standards. The plan for the Somi Segafredo Cafe meets or exceeds all of the zoning requirements of the Hometown District. For example, the Applicant will" provide a total of 7 parking spaces where 5 are required. In addition, the property benefits from 6 existing on- street parking spaces (for a total of 13 spaces), and from the fact that it is located across the street from a City of South Miami Parking facility. All required setbacks are consistent with Hometown District requirements and the proposed outdoor seating is located to insure that a minimum of five (5) feet of sidewalk will remain clear and unobstructed for pedestrian passage. As a result, the outdoor seating /dining uses and areas do not interfere with pedestrian traffic, handicap facilities or access to commercial other establishments. In addition, the outdoor seating/ dining areas are all open and unenclosed. It is also significant to note that the tables, chairs and all other outdoor furniture used will not be anchored or restrained and will be located entirely on private property and restricted to the length of the sidewalk immediately fronting the cafe. Outdoor seating/ dining areas are also proposed at the same elevation as the adjoining sidewalk or public right -of -way. Finally, in compliance with the Hometown District requirements, the number of outdoor seats does not exceed eighty (80) percent of the number of indoor seats. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Application believes that the application, meets the requirements set forth in Section 20 -3.4 of the Land Development Code. Specifically, the application will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or . working in the vicinity of the proposed use; the application will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the neighborhood; and the application complies will all applicable code provisions. We respectfully request your favorable review and recommendation. BF/ bl Enclosures Sincerel , Ben Fernandez BERCOW RADELL & FERNAN DEZ 20 -3.4 Special use conditions.

Vote: 7Ayes 0 Nays PB -08 -025 Applicant: William Quintana (Somi Cafe, LLC) Location: 5800 SW 73`d Street A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, RELATING TO A REQUEST PURSUANT TO SECTION 20- 3.4(B)(19) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR SPECIAL USE APPROVAL FOR A SMALL RESTAURANT TO BE LOCATED AT 5800 SW 73rd STREET WITHIN THE "SR (HD -OV)" SPECIALTY RETAIL (HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY) ZONING DISTRICT ON PROPERTY LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 46 AND 47, W. A. LARKINS SUBDIVISION ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 3 AT PAGE 198 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI -DADE COUNTY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Action: Ms. Yates read the item into the record. Ms. Cabrera - Hernandez provided the Board with a description of the applicant's proposal. Ms. Young requested that some typographical errors be corrected. Mr. Cruz noted that a site plan for outdoor seating and dining was available and questioned if the outdoor seating will be included in the special use request. Mr. Cruz also stated he was in favor of Planning Board Meeting August 12, 2008 Page 2 of 4 development but was concerned that there are only 6 parking spaces for 150 seats for both inside and outside dining. Mr. Youkilis replied that the special use approval does not automatically grant approval for outdoor seating. Mr. Youkilis stated that currently there is a moratorium on outdoor dining. Once the ordinance is approved the applicant must submit a separate application which will be reviewed administratively. Mr. Morton questioned the minimum distance required for a state liquor license. Mr. Fernandez, attorney representing the applicant, advised that they meet the minimum distance required by the state. Mr. Fernandez stated that the outdoor seating site plan was not part of the application. He further added that the applicant, Willie Quintana, has all the intentions to comply with all the regulations as required in order for project to get approved. Mr. Fernandez advised that he agreed with the recommendations that staff has requested. To address Mr. Cruz's concern regarding the parking requirements Mr. Fernandez stated that his client was providing additional parking other than what is required under Land Development Code. The property is well suited for the restaurant because it is a pedestrian friendly corner and the architect, Dean Lewis, has made it more pedestrian friendly. Dean Lewis stated that the building foot print will remain it will only undergo renovation making it even more pedestrian friendly. Instead of building the site to its maximum we chose to incorporate a colonnade to extend out to the pedestrians with a water feature to the corner which is something that the existing building does not provide. He provided the Board with a description of the building's design and the function of the building. Mr. Fernandez stated that the applicant will be increasing the width of the side walks around the property. He further added that the, when approved, the outdoor seating will be provided within the private property. To address the concern regarding outdoor seating spilling into the public realm he advised that they will not have that problem because their outdoor seating will be confined to the property. The applicant has also proposed to increase the side of the sidewalk to make it easier to walk around the site. He stated that they meet the requirements of LDC and that the establishment will not have an adverse effect of the safety and health of the persons. Mr. Comendeiro requested that the architect describe the property line in order to address the private and public property line. Mr. Lewis replied that they are not using any pubic right -of -way but rather they are giving at least three feet along the east side of the property line up to the existing sidewalk. The three feet will not be formally deeded back to the City. Mr. Comendeiro questioned if the fee for outdoor seating dining permit will apply to both private and public property. Mr. Youkilis replied that a restaurant must apply for an outdoor seating and dining permit whether it is on public or private property. The yearly fee will apply for both however those businesses having outdoor seating on public property are not subject to additional fees. Mr. Comendeiro further added that he does not find that fees for outdoor seating should be imposed on those businesses having additional seating on private property. Mr. Youkilis replied that outdoor seating is an extension of the business and therefore they should be charged. Mr. Youkilis further added that the seats for outdoor seating cannot be more than 80% of what is inside. Mr. Cruz questioned the hours of operation and Mr. Quintana replied that the hours will vary depending on how the patrons respond. He did state that currently he plans on opening from 7:00 AM until 12 midnight. Ms. Young requested that the hours of operation be included in the site plan and Mr. Quintana agreed. Mr. Cruz questioned if different insurances were required for indoor and outdoor and whether or not the establishment was in compliance with the ADA. Mr. Quintana replied that the insurance is all inclusive. Mr. Dean responded that the modifications are ADA compliant. Planning Board Meeting August 12, 2008 Page 3 of 4 Chairman Morton opened the Public Hearing. Name Address Position Harvey Bernstein 7661 SW 65 Place Mr. Bernstein stated that it was inappropriate for the members on the dais to accept the coffee cups that were distributed by the applicant. He advised that they all should be returned. Kathy McCann Ms. McCann commended the Board for the recommendations they forwarded to the City Commission regarding outdoor seating and dining. She requested that the Planning Board members review the Specialty Retail definition in the LDC and carefully analyze its purpose in the downtown. She advised if the Board approves the special use restaurant request the downtown will lose retail space for specialty stores. She further added that too many restaurants exist and another restaurant will not encourage the specialty retail. She reminded that Board you are not to accept those things that will not be compatible with the Specialty Retail District. David Tucker Mr. Tucker advised that the Board should be cautions about how they approve the proposed definitions. He agreed with Ms. McCann in that there shall be a mix of uses in the downtown. Let us not be carried away by business coming into a city. You want that mix to be a good working mix. When one thing begins to take over it is when something begins to suffer. Sharon McCann Ms. McCann advised that she was concerned that the employees do not park in the parking garage instead they park in the residential neighborhood. She indicated that according to the LDC the six parking spaces may not be used by the employees therefore she agreed with Mr. Cruz that the required parking for the amount of proposed seats will not be enough. She questioned why this application was not reviewed by the Green Task Force because the applicant is removing seven trees which will be replaced with shrubs. She expressed that the excess parking ends up in the residential neighborhood as they have been doing for years. She also questioned why there is no mention of the water situation considering that Miami -Dade Count Department of Water and Sewer issued a moratorium. Ms. McCain expressed concerns that the City Arborist did not review the site because she found no recommendation on the report and agreed with Ms. McCann in that the City is deviating from the purpose of the downtown. Donna Shelley 6544 SW 78 Terrace Ms. Shelley clarified that the Green Task Force is an advisory committee and not Board. Their duties are not to review projects. Claudia Harris 5752 SW 77 Terrace Ms. Harris stated that she was not against the restaurant but that the approval of the proposed restaurant allow for too many restaurants in the Hometown. Ms. Harris agreed with Ms. McCann and Ms. McCain that there are too many restaurants in the downtown. She reiterated she was not against the restaurant but was against the location. She commented that people will no longer want to come back because of the parking. John Edward Smith 7531 SW 64 Court Favors Mr. Edward Smith stated he was in favor of the project. He acknowledged that the design is attractive. He does not find that the downtown is saturated with restaurants. The opening of RA Sushi has attracted a great amount of people that have never been in South Miami. Having a variety of restaurants will bring in new clientele into South Miami. He stated that it makes sense to have restaurants because retail businesses are not open until 2 AM to accommodate the empty retail Planning Board Meeting August 12, 2008 Page 4 of 4 space. He commented that the restaurants are utilizing the new garage. He stated to understand that although there are 160 seats there is no possibility. to have 160 parking spaces available. South Miami wants to encourage a pedestrian friendly environment and the restaurant will provide that. Chairman Morton closed the Public Hearing. Ms. Chael stated that several downtowns hire specialist to analyze the specialty retail mix in order to ensure a certain mix of retail. That is something that the city would ever like to deal with that. A consultant may target certain markets. She questioned if there would be volunteers who would take that responsibility on. Does not think that it is the Boards business of delegating what business is allowed as long as they are in compliance. Ms. Young in the SR -HDOV small restaurants are allowed and there no moratorium at the present time. Mr. Youkilis responded in the affirmative. Ms. Yates requested that the architect provide a description of the landscaping. Mr. Lewis reiterated that no trees will be removed. Two native deciduous shade trees will be located due to the fact that they are pressuring the center tree and limiting the growth of all three. The intent is to prove breathing space for that one center tree to further flourish as well as to increase the perimeter buffers as per the hometown design guidelines of buffering surface parking lots. The other palms two of which will remain and three which will be relocated. In addition they are including hedges along the alley which currently do not exists. They are including green initiative pervious pavers. Mr. Cruz questioned if sidewalk will be repaved to level out the parking area because this is the only corner in the hometown area that has as low sidewalk and all others are elevated to what the code requires. Mr. Cruz stated that that should be corrected. Mr. Lewis replied that they will respect the current elevations of the sidewalk and county right -of -way design guidelines. Mr. Lewis stated that they will be willing to repair that. Ms. Chael stated that the project was sensitively redone and commented that as a member of the Green Task Force she recommended that it would be helpful to have a shaded parking lot and in the green strip that you have to include shade trees so that the parking lot could be cool and green. Motion: Ms. Chael moved approve the special use request with the condition that the curb cut alongside SW 58 Avenue be raised in order to provide better drainage and that three additional trees be included on the rear of the property. Ms. Yates seconded.
