Fred Sullivan owner of property asked about code parking requirements and staff answered that if you do not have any parking on the property the city does not make you provide parking but if you do not have parking it is not allowed to pave the boulevard because you have to provide two legal parking spaces on your property . Miami Shores Village, Planning Board Meeting Agenda: January 23, 2014 4 Staff stated that zoning code states that if you are in compliance you are not allowed to be out of compliance, if you have two parking spaces you can’t come out of compliance by having one. Mr. Abramitis asked about storage shed in the rear was a legally constructed building and staff answered yes. Mr. Abramitis asked staff if the swale was already paved and staff answered, no except for driveway entrance. Mr. Zelkowitz asked staff about what solution would work for applicant. Staff stated one solution is that they could have an 18 foot wide pad and there is enough room on the existing driveway for one car so if you add another 9 by 18ft pad there will be enough room for two cars. There is a concrete in the back if they would put in a finish. Staff is requesting an interpretation from board on whether or not the back is a legal parking space. Mr. Chairman asked about a permit for slab in the rear and staff stated he could not find a permit in our records. Staff is requesting that board decide if back is a legal parking space based on their interpretation of the code. Mr. Chairman states that part of that it becomes part of a non-conforming expansion structure. Mr. Abramitis asked about requirement in staff’s report with regards to analysis that states the parking in the rear is not consistent with the zoning requirement and should it require a variance. Staff stated it could require a variance or an interpretation of the board whether or not it is applicable. Veronica Molina and Mr. Sullivan gave presentation and addressed pad in the rear. Mr. Chairman asked attorney if he could to possibly answer board’s question and Attorney reads code 518b2 Mr. Zelkowitz asked applicant about possible solution as to having a possible second lane of parking in the front and applicants agreed to recommendation. Board comments on application and Mr. Abramitis, cannot support plan if it is calling for a variance. Mr. Zelkowitz agrees with Mr. Abramitis and if board is asking to make a code interpretation he cannot support that the parking space in the back be considered a parking space for zoning compliance because code states that you have to be 10ft away from the property and does not believe a variance would be granted because it is a self- created hardship. Mr. Chairman agrees with Mr. Zelkowitz and adds that problem can be fixed and remedied by proposing another place to park. Mr. Reese agrees with board members and guides applicants to speak with staff for a possible solution. Mr. Busta agrees that this is a self-created situation and would be in favor to see the second option proposed and agrees with Mr. Abramitis statements. Motion: Table item.
