standards:"
(a) The proposed use shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The use is consistent with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, which designates

from the south property limit, 360 feet from the east property limit and 300 feet from the
north property limit. The proposed location is in an open landscaped area under the

which will require that all fuel related materials be approved by the Florida Department

4

ReQuest #2: Variance from Section 31-143(f)(4)a. of the City's Land Development
Reaulations to permit a 2.000 aallon capacity fuel storaae tank. where a maximum
550 aallon capacity fuel storaae tank is permitted by Code.
The RMF4 zoning district regulations permit an aboveground fuel storage tank following
conditional use approval. The conditional use approval has several conditions; one of
which requires that the tank size be 550 gallons or less. This condition was included in
the City Code because aboveground fuel storage tanks larger than 550 gallon capacity
require approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to
Florida Administrative Code. Aesthetically, the smaller size of tank was deemed
appropriate for most sites.
Criteria
The guidelines for approval of variances as required by Section 31-76(e) of the City's
Land Development Regulation states:
"Standards of review. A variance shall be granted only where competent and
substantial evidence presented in the particular case shows that all of the following
are met:
(1) The particular physical surroundings, shape, topographical condition, or other
physical or environmental condition of the specific property involved would
result in a particular hardship upon the owner, as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience, if the regulations were carried out literally.
Due to the built out condition of this property, the fuel storage capacity required
to serve emergency generators for the number of existing residential units on site
and limited space to install an aboveground fuel storage tank, the applicant
requests one 2,000 gallon capacity fuel storage tank to serve the generators. It
would result in a particular hardship upon the owner to site four 550 gallons tanks
on site due to these physical conditions.
(2) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to
the parcel and would not be generally applicable to other property within the
vicinity.
The conditions are unique to this site and would not be generally applicable to
other locations.
(3) The alleged difficulty or hardship is not economic and has not been deliberately
created to establish a use or structure, which is not otherwise consistent with
the LOR.
The applicant's difficulty is not economic in nature and has not been deliberately
created by the applicant.
6
(4) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity.
The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity. The tank is proposed
to be located approximately 100 feet from the west property limit, 260 feet from
the south property limit, 360 feet from the east property limit and 300 feet from
the north property limit. The proposed location is in an open landscaped area
under the parking garage ramp. It will be secured by a wall and locked gate and
landscaped as required by City Code.
(5) The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion in the
public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or
substantially diminish or impair property values within the vicinity.
The proposed variance will not substantially increase traffic congestion or
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. Installation is subject to
a permit from the City, the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental
Resources Management and the Miami-Dade County Fire Department, which all
require safety features for the proposed tank.

We intent to install one (1) above ground diesel fuel tank with a capacity of2000 gallons.
This tank is to be used with existing emergency generator. This tank is to be installed in
the ground floor of the existing parking deck in a small landscape area. The proposed
location of the tank is completely hidden from view by anyone outside of parking deck
area.
The proposed tank is to be installed to satisfy emergency needs in case a hurricane strikes
the area. It is not placed there for any other needs except emergency requirements.
We appreciate your help in approving the tank installation. If you have any question
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Claudia Gill

discussions with representatives of other performing arts facilities. The following is an
overview of the Ordinance:

within or outside the City limits.
2. Individuals wishing to be a member of the Arts and Cultural Center Advisory
Board shall make application to the City Manager on the forms provided by the
City. The City Manager shall interview all applicants and make recommendation
to the Mayor. The Mayor shall appoint to the Board members from the list of
applicants recommended by the City Manager, subject to the approval of the City
Commission.
3. In recommending members of the Board, the following guidelines shall be
considered: The membership of this Board should be representative of the broad
spectrum of the arts and have specific experience and a strong commitment to
performing arts including music, dance, the dramatic arts, the visual arts and the
cultural arts.
4. The powers and duties of the Board shall be solely of an advisory nature to the
City Manager and Arts & Cultural Center Director. The City Manager shall be
responsible for communicating to the City Commission the actions of the Board.
5. The Mission of the Board is to assist the City in developing a facility that offers a
wide range of quality entertainment year-round and cultivates partnerships with
other local and regional organizations to enhance the quality of life for Aventura
by providing a variety of performing arts and relevant cultural programming for
audiences of all ages.
6. The following matters shall be within the advisory jurisdiction of the Board:
. Promote the mission of the Arts & Cultural Center and broad spectrum of
performing arts.
. Review the various programs to be held at the Arts & Cultural Center as
recommended by the Arts & Cultural Center Director. Final programming

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 24, 2008
TO: City Commission
FROM: Susan Gottlieb, Mayor
SUBJECT: Proposed Special Election on Uniform Countywide System of
Fire Protection
October 7, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
On September 24,2008, I attended a meeting held by the Miami-Dade League of Cities
regarding the above subject. At the meeting, based on the erosion of the cities' home
rule powers, it was decided that each city needed to take a strong negative position on
this matter and provide funding up to $1,000 to support a public education campaign.
Although most cities, like Aventura, that are currently served by the Miami-Dade Fire
Rescue Department had no intention to form their own departments, the action taken by
the County limits the ability of cities to execute their home rule power and explore other
options.
I have placed this matter on the Agenda for discussion and possible action by the City
Commission.
