Mr. Finkelstein motion to appoint Mr. O'Hara as vice chair, seconded by Mr. Nappier III. 5-0. 2 5) RESOLUTION 5.A Zoning in progress Ms. Hasbun stated now that the adoption of the comprehensive plan was put in place, staff would like to move forward with the zoning code update. Since the zoning code has to reflect the updates to the comprehensive plan then, the idea is to start the process with adopting the zoning code. As soon as Village Council reviews and approved the zoning in progress resolution then those updates can take place. This will not be treated as an ordinance thus, it will require just one reading as a resolution and bring it up to the planning and zoning board’s attention that there are a couple of applications that would be excluded during that process. This means that the board would not be able to review those applications such as (rezoning and land use admendments) and put them on hold until those updates are adopted for that zoning code. Any additional applications related to site plan additions, garage conversion, new construction will continue with that process. If the board decides to put all applications on hold this would create issues in the community for the residents seeking home improvements. Ms. Woods stated that staff is finalizing the recommendation to council in terms of the scope of the zoning in progress would look like and what it would be applicable to. Ms. Hasbun stated that the zoning in progress is for staff to start working on the text of the new zoning code and map. The planning and zoning board will be the first body to review and provide recommendations and then it will move forward to Village Council. Mr. O'Hara asked staff to give the planning and zoning board the finalized draft with sufficient time than that of the comprehensive plan and/or at least 30 days in advance to review the material. Mr. Brady asked staff, how extensive would the zoning code and map would be? Ms. Hasbun stated that it would be very extensive because it will be well served due to giving a new update on the structure and how it is being laid down. Due to issues with applicants finding the code and being able to understand the information. Chair Mr. Bolton asked Ms. Hasbun to explain the process and how public input will be incorporated on the new zoning code and what is the expected timeframe for a draft zoning change? Ms. Hasbun stated that at this stage there has not been any engagement with the consultants for who is going to be working on the zoning however once there is a proposal, a public engagement will be incorporated. In terms of time, is most likely 9 months to 1-year to work on the entire zoning code. Chair Mr. Bolton asked Ms. Hasbun if there is any applications right now for rezoning? Ms. Hasbun stated not at this moment. Mr. Brady asked staff, does the current zoning code remain in place, until the new one is reviewed by everyone and approved? Ms. Hasbun stated yes. Mr. O'Hara asked if we could move the discussion item 9.A Discussion of Miami Dade County Proposed Impervious Ordinance and provide Planning Board opinion to Village Council (By: Mr. Bolton) and 9.B Proposed Ordinance and League of Cities Concerns League of Cities Concerns to Impervious Ordinance.pdf to the top of the agenda? To get opinions from the design professionals and mayor Burch who are present. Motion to move discussion item 9.A and 9.B on top of the agenda by Mr. O’Hara, seconded by Mr. Brady. 5-0. 9.A Discussion of Miami Dade County Proposed Impervious Ordinance and provide Planning Board opinion to Village Council (By: Mr. Bolton) 9.B Proposed Ordinance and League of Cities Concerns League of Cities Concerns to Impervious Ordinance.pdf 3 Chair Mr. Bolton stated that the point of the discussion is to get the planning and zoning board feedback on Miami-Dade County’s proposed impervious ordinance and provide an opinion to council with comments. In relation to this ordinance, the second item shows the opinions of the league of cities having issues with the ordinance and opposing it. Chair Mr. Bolton stated his opinion that the ordinance, sec. 24-15 requires DERM to review any structural and non-pervious surface improvements such as: driveways, patios, pools, decks, sidewalks, unless the DERM director issues a determination that there is a municipal in effect that is as effective as the County’s if not then the County will have to review and approve an application. Also, it requires a full engineering report stating that a comprehensive signed and sealed report reviewing all the data that the project will fully comply with the chapter’s rules and regulations and will not cause any pollution as defined.” Chair Mr. Bolton stated that he is a civil engineer and it is great that more work is being put on them however; it is a bit excessive to require such reports for a simple patio, driveway change, etc. Chair Mr. Bolton opened up for the planning and zoning board to discuss what is the opinion and comments that can be brought up to Village Council? Mr. Finkelstein stated that he is against this ordinance since it will create more costs for the applicant and more delays. Mr. O'Hara stated that many of the neighbors are adding impermeable surfaces in there yards and not having dirt or grass. This causes more flooding and many residents have extended the driveway into the swale and Mr. O’Hara reviewed the video from the county on reviewing the ordinance. Chair Mr. Bolton asked what the County's intent? To which Mr. O'Hara stated that it’s to protect the aquafer as well as pollutants that go in the Bay. Mr. O’Hara says that he is not against it since it’s promoting sustainability and also feels it’s a bit overkill with the civil engineering report but feels that the County should meet in the middle. Mr. Brady asked staff what type of civil plans and reports would an applicant provide for additions, driveways, gazebos, etc to submit to planning and zoning? Ms. Hasbun stated that the applicant would have to submit civil plans to Village staff when it is for additions, and new construction for storm water. When it comes to smaller home exterior improvements such as driveways, patios, walkways and such then those do not require a civil engineering report/plans, the architect would provide a design that doesn’t affect the drainage of the parcel. Village staff has already prepared a memo for the October 3rd Village Council agenda as it is a main concern not just for one department but also for many such as the building department, public works, etc. Mr. Brady asked if staff is opposing this ordinance? Ms. Hasbun stated that at this moment staff is still waiting on response feedback from the County especially how this ordinance is overreaching the municipality jurisdictions and regulatory powers from the Village. Chair Mr. Bolton open it to public comment: Mr. Mayor Burch stated that there are 34 cities of the Miami Dade league of cities. There is a lawsuit against the state an example: Miami Beach. The senate bill 102 and the impervious ordinance are all part of what the 34 leagues of cities are going against it. Mr. Burch is opposed to the ordinance. Mr. Enrique Fernandez (Professional engineer and Building Official) Cutler Bay resident Stated “he is not a resident of Miami Shores, and as an inspector of water ways feels that DERM has exceeded and violated many of the rules and regulation that govern cities, counties and municipalities and are trying to justify the failure in infrastructure that they failed to do…” Mr. Fernandez also stated “Miami Shores is its own city, they are their own rules, and they have the authority...” Mr. Fernandez is opposing the ordinance. 4 Mr. Manny Mora (Registered Architect) Palmetto Bay resident is against the regulation and believes that “he has run into similar problems at other cities. He also believes that every city should have control over their own zoning...” Mr. Mora also stated “adding a little Berm and elevate the capacity of retention..” Mr. Mora is opposing the ordinance. Chair Mr. Bolton, asked the board to propose a resolution to go to council and have an opinion on this matter. Mr. Brady asked Ms. Hasbun if she see the current code standards as adequate and rigorous to that of the County? Ms. Hasbun stated that they are sufficient. As this ordinance is at the discretion of the DERM director on what is sufficient standards for civil engineering reporting. Mr. Brady would like to propose to council to move very cautiously in terms of reviewing the proposed ordinance to ensure that it is not duplicate of our current efforts or costly to the residents of Miami-Dade County and the planning and zoning board will work with them to identify any detritus effects of the ordinance. Per his concerns is that this will go into the DERM Bureaucracy and will not go away anytime soon as well as create delays. Proposed motion by Mr. Brady to urge the Village Council to review the consequences of the Miami-Dade County Impervious Ordinance to ensure it is not burdensome or costly to the residents of Miami Shores Village. Mr. Nappier III, is against the ordinance and does not like that DERM has the final say with no appeal process on what the village residents can or cannot do. In terms of the rainwater retention, the Village can do that ourselves instead of having the county control that. Motion to urge the Village Council to carefully review the consequences of the Miami- Dade County’s Impervious Ordinance to ensure it is not burdensome or costly to the residents of Miami Shores Village Mr. Brady seconded by Mr. Finkelstein. 4-1. Chair Mr. Bolton wants to make a stronger position to council to be prepared. Motion to reconsider by Mr. O'Hara seconded by Mr. Brady. 5-0. While the Planning and Zoning Board appreciates the intent of the proposed ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Board recommends that the Village Council urge Miami-Dade County not to approve the impervious ordinance as written by Mr. O’Hara seconded by Mr. Brady. 5-0 .
