and miscellaneous sign variances. (01-SV-99 and 06-VAR-99).
July 6, 1999, City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission take the following actions with conditions
as outlined herein:
1. Deny the request to allow a variance of one (1) parking space to permit 19 off-street
parking spaces where 20 parking spaces are required; and
2. Deny the request to allow two gas station canopy signs, each seven and one-half
(7.5) square feet in area, where the City's Sign Ordinance allows one (1) company
logo sign not to exceed four (4) square feet on each side of a gasoline station
canopy; and
3. Approve one (1) of the three (3) requested aluminum pan signs to be attached to
the underside of a fabric-covered awning structure, where no signs placed on
awnings, shades, canvas or other similar structures are allowed by code. The one
(1) recommended sign, size not to exceed 27 square feet, shall be attached with
quick-release rittings to allow rapid detachment in the event of hurricane or other
high wind warnings; and
4. Approve only three (3) of the ten (10) requested directional signs, each two and
one-half (2.5) square feet in area and thirty (30) inches in height, where, in the
opinion of the staff, fewer signs are required to guide the public within the site. The
recommendation allows only three (3) of the ten (10) directional signs (Signs #7
"Car Wash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign; #9 "Cashier", one sign; and #12 "Car
Wash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign) none of which are located on the perimeter of
the site.

1. A variance of one (1) parking space on the site to permit 19 off-street parking
spaces where 20 parking spaces are required.
A sign variance to allow two gas station canopy signs, each seven and one-half
(7.5) square feet in area, where the City's Sign Ordinance allows one (1) company
logo sign not to exceed four (4) square feet on each side of a gasoline station

The Project - The Simoniz Car Wash is an auto-oriented retail center comprised of a
gasoline service station, a car wash, a convenience store and an oil change/lubrication
station. It has a frontage of approximately 180 feet on Biscayne Boulevard and a
frontage of approximately 285 feet on NE 191st Street.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The request is not inconsistent with
the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan.
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has received no written
citizen comments.
Community Development Department Analysis - The applicant is requesting a
parking variance to permit 19 parking spaces where 20 spaces are required, and
miscellaneous sign variances. The applicant proposes the removal of one parking
space to provide a landscaped area for installation of a free-standing monument sign.
The monument sign itself is allowed by code and does not require a variance.
The applicants have proposed a signage plan for the site. The following signs are
allowed by Code and are not a part of this application, although they are shown on the
signage plan for the site:
1. Monument sign; and
2. One wall sign per tenant frontage.
The requests and staff analyses are as follows:
Reque_~t #1: A variance of one (1) Darkin~ space on the site to permit 19
off-street parking spaces where 20 parking spaces are required.
The Simonize Car Wash received Administrative Site Plan Approval from the City in
1996 for a site with 20 parking spaces. The applicants propose to remove one space to
facilitate the installation of a free-standing monument sign. The monument sign itself is
allowed by code, but cannot be installed at the proposed location without removing the
parking space.
Staff does not believe that the applicants can demonstrate a site-specific hardship that
mandates the removal of an existing parking space. It is possible to reconfigure the site
at modest cost to relocate the eliminated parking space elsewhere on the site. Staff
also believes that a reduction in available parking would reduce the usefulness of the
site and could pose a nuisance. Observation of parking activity at the location indicates
that parking demand is high and parking space turnover is frequent. While the
4
applicant maintains that there is parking available at the rear of the sight, customers
appear to prefer use of the parking spaces fronting Biscayne Boulevard because they
are highly visible and easy to access from either of the site's entrances.
The guidelines for approval of non-use variances as required by Miami-Dade County
Code Section 33-311(e)(2) requires:
The non-use variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of the zoning,
subdivision and other land use regulations, which is to protect the general
welfare of the public, particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of
the community and provided that the non-use variance will be otherwise
compatible with the surrounding land uses and would not be detrimental to
the community.
A reduction in available parking would not be compatible with the surrounding area, a
highly active retail and service core area. Insuff~cient parking not only would reduce the
usefulness of the site, but could pose nuisance to neighboring landowners and tenants,
and could endanger the safe flow of traffic on Biscayne Boulevard and NE 191 Street
by momentarily blocking entering cars.
Request #2: A sign variance to allow two gas station canopy si;ins, each
seven and one-half (7.5) square feet in area, where the City's Si;In
Ordinance allows one (1) company lo;lo sign not to exceed four (4) square
feet on each side of a gasoline station canopy.
The larger gas station canopy signs do not significantly assist patrons in locating the
business or finding their way to the site and contribute to the visual clutter of the
Biscayne Boulevard corridor. The applicant presently has installed two (2) gas station
canopy signs that meet the requirements of the Code.
Request #3: A siRn variance to allow three (3) aluminum ;)an si;ins,
totaling ei;ihtv (80) square feet in area, to be attached to the underside of a
fabric-covered awning structure, where no signs placed on awnings,
shades, canvas or other similar structures are allowed by code.
Staff recommends that only one (1) of the three (3) proposed aluminum signs under the
drying canopy be permitted. The single allowed sign shall measure thirty-two (32)
inches high by ten (10) feet long and shall only be attached to the underside of the
canopy structure marked "Drying Canopy" on the plot plan. It shall be attached with
quick-release rittings to allow rapid detachment in the event of hurricane or other high
wind warnings.
The three signs attached to the awning structure are not necessary to inform customers
of the products available, and prevent possible dangers to customers and employees
from possible wind loading on the canopy structure. Staff recommends a reduced sign
area, and the incorporation of features to facilitate rapid removal during hurricane
warnings and other possible emergencies.
Request #4: A sign variance to allow ten (10) directional signs, each two
and one-half (2.5) square feet in area and thirty (30) inches in hei¢lht, where,
in the opinion of the Staff, fewer signs are required to ~luide the public
within the site.
Staff does not believe that ten directional signs are necessary to orient customers on a
site only slightly larger than one acre. The proposed modification would continue to
allow three (3) directional signs as follows:
-- · #7"CarWash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign;
· #9 "Cashier", one sign; and
· #12 "Car Wash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign.
Staff believes that these signs perform a needed function of directing patrons to the
various service bays. Because they are not located on the periphery of the site, they
are not highly visible from surrounding locations.
Staff recommends that seven (7) of the directional signs indicated on the plot plan be
eliminated as follows:
· #8 ("Car Wash Entrance," one sign);
· #10 ("Enter," two signs);
· #11 ("Exit," two signs);
· #13A ("Car Wash," one sign); and
· #13B ("10 Min. Oil Change," one sign).
Requests #2, #3 and #4:
The criteria for approval of a sign variance as required by the City of Aventura Sign
Ordinance (No. 97-17) requires that:
The sign variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of the regulations,
particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the City and provided that
the variance will be otherwise compatible with the surrounding land uses and
would not be detrimental to the community. No showing of unnecessary
hardship is required.
Only that signage recommended for approval by staff maintains the basic intent and
purpose of the regulations. The signage would not be excessive compared to that
provided for other businesses in the Biscayne Boulevard corridor of a comparable lot
area, and does not significantly affect land uses outside the property. Without the Staff
6
recommended modifications, the applicant's request does not fulfill the criteria set forth
in the City's Sign Code.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission take the following actions with conditions
as outlined following:
Deny the request to allow a variance of one (1) parking space to permit 19 off-street
parking spaces where 20 parking spaces are required; and
Deny the request to allow two gas station canopy signs, each seven and one-half
(7.5) square feet in area, where the City's Sign Ordinance allows one (1) company
logo sign not to exceed four (4) square feet on each side of a gasoline station
canopy; and
3. Approve one (1) of the three (3) requested aluminum pan signs to be attached to
the underside of a fabric-covered awning structure, where no signs placed on
awnings, shades, canvas or other similar structures are allowed by code. The one
(1) recommended sign, size not to exceed 27 square feet, shall be attached with
quick-release rittings to allow rapid detachment in the event of hurricane or other
high wind warnings; and
4. Approve only three (3) of the ten (10) requested directional signs, each two and
one-half (2.5) square feet in area and thirty (30) inches in height, where, in the
opinion of the staff, fewer signs are required to guide the public within the site. The
recommendation allows only three (3) of the ten (10) directional signs (Signs #7
"Car Wash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign; #9 "Cashier", one sign; and #12 "Car
Wash/10 Min. Oil Change", one sign) none of which are located on the perimeter of
the site.
CONDITIONS
1. Except as amended above, plans shall substantially comply with those submitted as
follows:
· "Site Plan for Signage Relocation: Simonize Carwash/Gas Station," prepared
by Crain Engineering Company, Inc., one sheet page A-l, dated April 22,
1999, signed and sealed April 20, 1999
· ~Simonize Plat Plan" as prepared by ARTEffects, dated March 10, 1999,
stamped as received March 30, 1999.
2. Permits shall be obtained within twelve (12) months of the date of the Resolution or
the approvals granted shall be deemed null and void unless extended by a motion
of the City Commission.

Le%%er of In%en%
The subject property is located at 19055 Biscayne Boulevard,
Aventura, Florida 33180.
The Applicant is requesting approval for a signage variance.
Because of the property to the immediate south and the proposed
landscaping for said property, the visibility of the subject
property is somewhat limited especially for cars travelling
northbound on Biscayne Boulevard. In addition, there are four (4)
tenants on the subject property and the Applicant has submitted its
signage package for the entire property.
The Applicant has filed fictitious names with the Secretary of
the State of Florida in order to simplify its signage on the
property which will enable the signs to have less verbiage creating
a better visual effect throughout the property.
The Applicant requests that the proposed signage package be
approved by the City of Aventura and welcomes the opportunity to
continue to do business within the City of Aventura.

01-SV-99
Letter of Intent
The subject property is located at 19055 Biscayne Boulevard,
Aventura, Florida 33180. The herein application for a one parking
space variance is filed in conjunction with our sign variance
previously filed.
The Applicant is moving the monument sign from the Northwest
corner of the property to the center of the property along Biscayne
Boulevard for better exposure to cars travelling both northbound
and southbound on Biscayne Boulevard. The monument sign will meet
code requirements and therefore, no variance is required for said
monument sign.
However, in order to accommodate the new monument sign, there
will be a loss of one parking space. There is currently 20 parking
spaces. The Applicant is requesting a one parking space variance.
We feel that there is no real need for the extra parking space and
by doing so, we will be able to give a more beautified look along
Biscayne Boulevard at N.E. 191st Street; specifically in the
Northwest portion of the property. If the Applicant were to have
to create a new parking space, it would be where the current
landscaping is on the Northwest portion of the property.
The Applicant respectfully requests approval for a variance
for one parking space.

Future Land Use - Business and Office
The Site - The site is located between NE 206 Street and NE 207 Street east of East
Dixie Highway. (See Exhibit #2 for Location Map).
The Project - The applicant proposes to build a four-story office building with 37,698
square feet of gross area. A 2,592 square foot bank with two drive-through teller lanes
will be located on the ground floor along with a 1,700 square feet of office space. The
second floor will contain parking and the third and fourth floors will contain professional
and medical office space.
The expected cost of construction for the development is $3.5 million. The anticipated
increase to the City's tax roll is $7,015.00.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The requests are not inconsistent
with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan.
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has received no written
citizen comments.
Community Development Department Analysis - The applicant proposes to develop
a four story office building with 37,698 square feet of space (2,592 square feet of bank
and 35,106 square feet of office space). The development generally conforms to the
Hospital District concept outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Its design, size and
proposed use are consistent with the type of development the City is seeking in this
area. The use of a part of the ground floor for a bank is in keeping with the Hospital
District's purpose of permitting retail and service functions that are accessory to, and
support, medical and professional offices.
Request #1: A variance to permit 111 off-street parking spaces where t30 off-
street parkin.q spaces are required.
An important component of the Hospital District plan is the improvement of
transportation circulation and encouragement of alternative transportation within the
District. The proximity to Aventura Hospital and other medical offices in the area will
reduce the building's parking demand as compared to a building of equal size in other
locations in the City. For this reason, the applicant's request to allow 19 parking spaces
less than is required by code should not create a nuisance. In addition, the applicant
has agreed to provide sidewalks, secure bicycle and motorcycle parking and to install
3
seven on-street parking spaces along NE 206 Street and six on-street parking spaces
along NE 207 Street adjacent to the site, along with associated curbing, street lighting
and drainage improvements. These spaces will not be reserved for the use of the new
building, but will be available to the users of adjacent properties. This will help alleviate
existing parking and drainage problems, particularly along NE 207 Street, which is in
the process of changing from residential to office land uses.
Request ~2: Conditional Use Approval to allow a bank on the ground floor of the
proposed office building to contain two drive-through teller lanes~ where banks i.
the MO, Medical Office district are allowed drive-through facilities only afte,
public hearina al31~reval.
The proposed drive-through teller lanes are located under the building and behind
landscaping, effectively screening them from outside the site, and are located to
prevent interference with pedestrian access to the building. Vehicular access to the
site from Biscayne Boulevard is via NE 207 Street, an existing intersection. Thus, no
additional curb cut access to Biscayne Boulevard is required, preserving traffic capacity
on this major arterial road.
Request #3: Abandonment of aDr~roximately 2,t42 square feet of public alleyway
previously dedicated in the plat of Hallandale Park No. 8 Subdivision.
The land under the proposed office building was originally platted into a number of
small residential lots, all with a six foot alley in the rear. The alleys in this block have
never been used, and abandonment is necessary to create a unified parcel for the
proposed four-story office building. The applicant has volunteered to contribute an
estimated market cost of $4.47 per square foot ($9,574.74) to the City for this land to
offset the impacts of the vacation. These funds will be credited towards the installation
of the off-street parking spaces and associated curbing, sidewalk, lighting, landscaping
and drainage improvements in the public right-of-way.
Criteria
The guidelines for approval of variances as required by Section 506.5 of the City's
Land Development Regulation states:
506.5 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:
506.5.1 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
4
distinguished from a mere convenience, if the regulations were carried
out literally.
506.5.2
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.
506.5.3
The alleged difficulty or hardship is not economic and has been
deliberately created to establish a use or structure which is not
otherwise consistent with the LDR.
506.5.4 The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity.
506.5.5 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 hardship at this location is caused by a number of factors unique to the site and to
the role this development serves as the first large development application made under
the City's Hospital District redevelopment plan. The City has required the applicant to
meet increased standards of design, landscaping and access while building on a site
originally created in the 1920's for single family homes. Also, the City has requested
that the applicant assist in alleviating existing parking and drainage problems caused
by the proximity of an older residential neighborhood on the north side of the site to
newer medical offices built in the last two decades. As a result, the applicant has
incorporated on-street parking into his site plan that will benefit others. This will result
in improved traffic flow, better street drainage, a more attractive streetscape, and safer
pedestrian and bicycle access in the area around the new project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission take the following actions with conditions
as outlined herein:
1. Approve the request to allow a variance to permit 111 off-street parking spaces
where 130 off-street parking spaces are required.
2. Approve the request for Conditional Use approval to allow a bank on the ground
floor of the proposed office building to have two drive-through teller lanes, where
banks in the MO, Medical Office District are allowed drive-through facilities only
after public hearing approval.

Re: Marlin Office Building
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Applicant has entered into a Contract for the purchase of a parcel of land lying immediately
east of East Dixie Highway between N. E. 206th and N. E. 207th Street, in the City of Aventura.
The subject property is immediately north of a triangular parcel of land owned by the State of
Florida, which will be utilized for landscaping and water retainage. The site is well suited for
development as an office building, and is the use proposed by the Applicant. The Applicant is a
developer of shopping centers and office buildings in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The first level of the proposed building contains a banking facility containing approximately
2,592 square feet, together with approximately 1,700 square feet of office space, with the
remainder of the first level housing the lobby, elevators, restrooms and mechanical facilities. At
ground level within the confines of the building there are provided two drive-through lanes for
bank traffic depositors, with access thereto directly from the building parking lot. Each lane
contains six (6) stacking spaces which exceeds the City's requirement of five (5). The second
level of the building will be reserved for parking; and the third and fburth levels will be reserved
for office use, as hereinafter more fully developed.
The developers have estimated that approximately 15,600 square feet will be utilized for medical
and dental office space, predicated upon the close proximity of the building to the hospital and
other medical facilities. The remainder of the leaseable space of approximately 19,506 square
feet has been designated for business and professional offices. In computing the parking spaces
required for the proposed development it is respectfully submitted that the developers could have
utilized the criteria established for business and professional office space only, together with the
proposed bank facility, whereupon one hundred thirteen (113) parking spaces would have been
EXHIBIT #1
04-VAR-99 01-CU-99 02-AR-99
City of Aventura 2 April 14, 1999
required, with one hundred eleven (111) provided. As previously set forth however, the
developers have forthrightly contemplated the medical and dental uses set forth and are required
to provide one hundred twenty one (121) spaces in total. They have in fact provided one hundred
eleven (111) spaces, a difference of approximately nine (9%) per cent. It is respectfully
submitted, however, that the twelve (12) spaces provided in the drive-tl~rough should be
considered as additional parking in that obviously those cars in these spaces would be otherwise
utilizing the spaces in the parking lot were those stacking spaces not provided. It is further
respectfully submitted that the Site Plan reflects the Applicant proposes to develop seven (7)
parallel parking spaces along N. E. 206th Street, which street the Applicant seeks to
reaccomplish and landscape in conjunction with its development. As a result of 206th Street
terminating just east of the proposed site and not providing access to Biscayne Boulevard it is
believed that these parking spaces, although on property not owned by the Applicant (City
property) would be utilized by building patrons only in that the property to the south is owned by
the State of Florida, and the property to the east is a two-story strip center whose main ingress
and egress is fi:om N. E. 207th Street, which represent its only direct access to U.S. 1.
The proposed site development with landscaping exceeding existing and contemplated future
criteria established by the City most certainly represents an excellent addition to the City of
Aventura. It is respectfully submitted that the proposed Site Plan and its development is in
keeping with the City of Aventura's proposed master plan for the development of this area, and
falls within all of the City's existing and proposed guidelines established for development. It is
acknowledged that there are minimal variances required with respect to this development,
however, it is respectfully submitted that in considering the project as a whole, this Plan is one
that should be unanimously accepted and approved by the Planning and Zoning Board and the
City Council.

Rehearing Request - Caviar & More, Inc. (02-SE-99)
July 6, 1999 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~ ~-~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission deny the rehearing request in that the
information presented (See Exhibit #1 for rehearing request) does not significantly
change the applicant's original request that was denied at the City Commission meeting
of May 4, 1999.
REQUEST
The applicant, Louis Terminello for Caviar & More, Inc., is requesting that the City
Commission rehear the request of Caviar & More, Inc. for Special Exception to spacing
and distance requirements for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages.
BACKGROUND
At the public hearing meeting of May 4, 1999, the applicant presented a request for
Special Exception approval to spacing and distance requirements for the sale and
service of alcoholic beverages (see Exhibit #3 for staff report). The motion for approval
of the resolution failed by a vote of 2-5.
Exhibit #1 clearly states the applicant's position in regards to the reasons for the
rehearing request.
The City Attorney's office has issued a Zoning Hearing Procedure opinion (See Exhibit
#2) in regards to a rehearing. In this opinion, it is suggested that the City Commission
observe a two step procedure as follows:
"The first step would be for the Commission, at a public hearing, to consider the
request for rehearing, and if a rehearing is granted to grant it subject to the
requirement that new public notice be provided and that a public hearing be
scheduled for the matter. At the second step, the Commission, at the public
hearing, would rehear the matter and make a determination on the application at
the conclusion of the proceedings."
Pursuant to this opinion, if the Commission determines that they will rehear the item, a
motion to rehear must be granted so that staff can provide public notice for the item to
be heard at the next Commission meeting.

Hearing No. (02-SE-99)/Hearing Date: May 4, 1999
Dear Ms. Smith:
As you know, the undersigned represents CAVIAR & MORE, 1NC. in the above captioned matter.
Please consider this correspondence our request for a rehearing of this matter which was heard before
the Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners on May 4, 1999.
This request for rehearing is based on the following:
1. There is new evidence which will be presented at the rehearing which was not available
to or considered by the Board at the original hearing. Caviar & More will place foliage
in such a manner as to "surround" the kiosk which will prevent the kiosk from
,becoming a focal point for passersby. In this manner, any champagne or wine being
consumed from the three (3) stools at the counter will not be easily visible from the
pedestrian traffic in the mall hallways.
2. The champagne or wine will only be served in conjunction with the tasting of a food
product and will not be sold for consumption on the premises otherwise.
3. The Board misapprehended the fact that only wine and champagne will be sold to
patrons and that the business will not be licensed to sell "liquor". Again, champagne
or wine will only be sold in conjunction with the sale and service of food products.
EXHIBIT #1
Teresa M. Soroka, CMC, City Clerk
June 2, 1999
Page -2-
In addition, the Board of Commissioners overlooked that there is service of alcoholic
beverages within the food court at the Aventura Mall which is openly consumed with
meals, at tables, in an open area. The consumption of alcoholic beverages at the mall
in such a manner has not had any adverse or detrimental effect on mall patrons or
businesses.
The Board of Commissioners erred, as a matter of law, inasmuch as there is not a
scintilla of evidence in the record to support its decision that the requested special
exception would not be compatible with the area and its development and would not be
in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City of Aventura's regulations.
The Board erred, as a matter of law, when it overlooked the recommendations of staff
in favor of approval, which constitute competent and substantial evidence in the record
in favor of the applicant. There was no evidence presented at the hearing contrary to
staff s recommendations.
The Board of Commissioners misconceived the evidence presented in that it classified
the subject business as a "bar." The definition of a "bar" by the Miami-Dade County
Zoning Code is "any place devoted primarily to the selling or dispensing and drinking
of malt, vinous or other alcoholic beverages or any place where any sign is exhibited or
displayed indicating that alcoholic beverages are obtainable within or thereon and where
such beverages are consumed on the premises." The subject business is primarily
devoted to the sale and consumption of food products given its quite extensive menu
which was shared with the Board of Commissioners at the original hearing. The sale
and service of alcoholic beverages will be limited to fine wine and champagne in
conjunction with the service of food. This use is compatible with the atmosphere of a
mall such as the Aventura Mall and would not adversely impact its patrons or
businesses:
Thank you for your kind consideration of this matter for rehearing. Please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned if you should need anything further in this regard.
Sincerely,
Louis J. Terminello

Re: Zoning Rehearing Procedure
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
The purpose of this letter is to set forth our advice on handling of requests for
rehearings on zoning applications. The procedure on zoning rehearings varies from
municipality to municipality. Some municipalities have code provisions which authorize
rehearings. Other municipalities have code provisions which prohibit rehearings. Finally,
some municipalities have no rehearing procedures.
In the absence of a specific procedure adopted by ordinance which either permits or
precludes rehearings, it is permissible for the governing body to allow a rehearing of a zoning
matter at the request of the applicant, so long as a procedure is followed which complies with
due process requirements. Due process requires that if a rehearing is held at the request of the
applicant a two step procedure be utilized. The first step would be for the Commission, at a
public meeting, to consider the request for rehearing, and if a rehearing is granted to grant it
subject to the requirement that new public notice be provided and that a public hearing be
scheduled for the matter. At the second step, the Commission, at the public hearing, would
rehear the matter and make a determination on the application at the conclusion of the
proceedings.
EXHIBIT #2
Honorable Mayor and Commissioners
May 13, 1999
Page 2
The above described procedure has previously been recognized by the City
Commission, and for purposes of consistency should continue to be followed unless and until a
different procedure is established in the proposed land development code.
However, it should be noted that generally a rehearing would not be allowed in a
situation in which a zoning approval has been granted to an applicant and the applicant has
acted in reliance upon the approval given.
Please advise if anything further is required on this matter.
Respectfully,
David M. Wolpin

The Site - The subject site, the Aventura Mall, is located at the northeast corner of
Biscayne Boulevard and the William Lehman Causeway (See attached Exhibit #2).
The Project - Caviar and More Miami, Inc. is proposing retail sales of caviar products,
fine wines and champagne from a kiosk location on the first floor of the Aventura Mall.
There will be seating for three persons for product sampling; however, it is anticipated
that the majority of sales will be for off-premises consumption.
Ordinance 98-10 establishes certain spacing and location requirements applicable to
businesses selling alcoholic beverages, and allows for exceptions only for
establishments in BU-1 and BU-1A and other more liberal zoning districts which serve
cooked, full course meals, daily prepared on the premises, and which serve alcoholic
beverages only to persons seated at tables. The applicant does not meet either the
spacing requirements or the exception conditions.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan- The request is not inconsistent
with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan or the Miami-Dade County
Comprehensive Plan.
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has received no written
citizen comments.
Community Development Department Analysis - The applicant is requesting a
special exception to spacing and distance requirements for the sale and service of
alcoholic beverages.
Ordinance 98-10 of the City of Aventura prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages for on
or off-premises consumption at locations closer than 1500 feet from another place of
business having an established alcoholic beverage use, or where the place of business
is less than 2,500 feet from a religious facility or school. Currently, there are other
places of business having an established alcoholic beverage use within 1,500 feet of
the proposed Caviar & More kiosk. There are no religious facilities or schools located
within 2,500 feet. (See Liquor Survey attached as Exhibit #3.)
Ordinance 98-10 provides for certain exceptions to these spacing and distance
requirements. These exceptions are specified in Section 4-2, Subsection (E), as
follows:
"(E)(2) Restaurants in BU-1, BU-1A Zoning Districts. To dining rooms or restaurants
located in the BU-1 or BU-1A zoning districts and which do not comply with
subparagraph (4) below [sale of beer and wine as a grocery item from grocery stores
and meat markets] but which comply with the requirements of such districts and served
cooked, full course meals, daily prepared on the premises, or such other dining rooms
or restaurants in other more liberal zoning districts complying with the requirements of
the BU-1 or BU-1A district and which serve cooked, full course meals, daily prepared on
the premises, provided that only a service bar is used and the sale of alcoholic
beverages are sold only to persons seated at tables."
3
Therefore, according to the above subsection of the Ordinance, the exception to the
distance and spacing requirement is permitted if all of the following requirements are
met:
1. It must be a restaurant located in a BU-1 or BU-1A and other more liberal zoning
districts.
The proposed Caviar & More kiosk meets this requirement. It is located in a BU-2
zoning district.
2. It must be a business that does not sell beer or wine for off-premises consumption.
The proposed Caviar & More kiosk does not meet this requirement, as it proposes
the sale of wine and champagne for off-premises consumption.
It must be a restaurant that serves cooked, full course meals, daily prepared on the
premises and which provides alcoholic beverage service only through a service bar
to patrons seated at tables.
The proposed Caviar & More kiosk does not meet this requirement. Although it
does provide seating for three patrons, this seating is provided for product sampling
and not for cooked, full course meals. These samples will be served in disposable
tableware not requiring kitchen sanitary services. The majority of its sales are
anticipated for consumption off-premises.
For these reasons, the applicant requires Special Exception approval.
Criteria
According to Section 33-311(d) of the Miami-Dade County Code, a Special Exception
request should be evaluated using the following criteria:
1. The request would not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of Dade County.
The request to permit a kiosk/restaurant to sell alcoholic beverages for on-
premises and off-premises consumption would not have an unfavorable effect on
the economy of Dade County,
The request would not generate or result in excessive noise or traffic, cause undue
or excessive burden on public facilities, including water, sewer, solid waste disposal,
recreation, transportation, streets, roads, highways or other such facilities which
have been constructed or which are planned and budgeted for construction; and
The request to permit the operation of this kiosk would not generate or result in
excessive noise or traffic, or cause undue or excessive burden on public facilities
4
above and beyond that which is already contemplated for the entire shopping
mall in general.
The request would not tend to create a fire or other equally or greater dangerous
hazards, or provoke excessive overcrowding or concentration of people or
population; and
The request for sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a kiosk restaurant
would not tend to create a fire or other equally or greater dangerous hazard, or
provoke excessive overcrowding or concentration of people or population above
and beyond that which is already contemplated for the shopping mall in general.
The necessity for and reasonableness of such applied-for exception in relation to
the present and future development of the area concerned and the compatibility of
the applied for exception with such area and its development.
The request to permit the retail sales of caviar products in conjunction with fine
wines and champagne is reasonable. Because other alcoholic beverage
establishments are located within 1500 feet of the proposed development, the
applicant is not permitted by code to serve alcoholic beverages to patrons in the
kiosk area. Staff believes that, given the nature of the business and the location
of the kiosk in the interior of the mall, maintaining standards of decorum and
order can be properly and effectively left to the applicant and the mall
management.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the Special Exception with the
following conditions:
1. This approval shall be granted exclusively to the applicant.
2. The service of alcoholic beverages shall be terminated in the event that the City
Commission determines, after a public hearing, that the operation has created
and/or may tend to create a disturbance to the community. The public hearing shall
be set if the Director of the Department finds probable cause to believe that a
disturbance has been created, based upon complaints received or the Director's
observation.
3. The applicant's hours of operation shall coincide with the hours of operation of the
Aventura Mall.

Dear Ms. Kelly:
The undersigned represents CAVIAR & MORE MIAIvlI, INC., d/b/a Caviar & More, your applicant
for public hearing requesting a special exception to permit the retail sales of caviar products in
conjunction with fine wines and champagne from a kiosk location within the Aventura Mall with
seating for three (3) persons for consumption on and off the premi.ses.
We are requesting a special exception to the spacing requirement of fifteen hundred (1,500) feet for
location of establishments for sale of alcoholic beverages from another place of business also selling
alcoholic beverages and not excepted fi.Om the spacing requirements. This use is a permitted use
inasmuch as the business location is in a BU-2 zoning district.
The City of Aventura just recently approved another similar use for "Whole Foods Market" by
permitting wine tasting on the premises in a market type environment. CAVIAR & MORE will be
providing its patrons with caviar, smoked salmon, foie grae along with fine wines and champagne
which are necessary accompaniments to fully savor and enjoy these gourmet foftd40roducts.
No religious facilities or public schools are located within a 2.500 foot radius of the proposed
kiosk which will be located on the first floor of the ma.~ ~
Brenda Kelly, Community Development Director
City of Aventura
.4pril 2, 1999

Caviar & More Miami, Inc. has no objection to conforming with all requirements as specified as
specified by the City of Aventura zoning regulations.
Please note that in conformity with Article XXXVI, Section 33-31 l(d) of the Miami- Dade County
Code, this request would not have an unfavorable affect on the economy of Miami-Dade County.
In addition, this request will not generate or result in excessive noise or traffic, or cause undue or
excessive burden on public facilities above and beyond that which is already contemplated for the
restaurant in general and that of the entire shopping center. Our request would not tend to create a
fire or other equally or greater dangerous hazard or provoke excessive overcrowding or concentration
of people or population above and beyond that which is already contemplated for the restaurant in
general and that of the entire shopping center.
Finally, the request to serve alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the three (3) seat kiosk serving
caviar and other gourmet food products located in a regional mall is not an unreasonable request.
This use will be compatible with and similar uses are typically found in regional malls such as the
Aventura Mall. Of course, if you need any further information in this regard, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Nancy Terminello

TO: City Commission
FROM:
DATE:
June 17, 1999
SUBJECT: Resolution Awarding Bid/Lease of Vehicles for Detective Bureau
July 6, 1999 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item: 1jj
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the resolution awarding the bid to
Leasing Associates, Inc. for the lease of four vehicles for the Detective Bureau of the
Police Department.
Background
For the past two years, we have leased vehicles for the Detective Bureau from Leasing
Associates, Inc. under a cooperative purchasing arrangement with other cities. In order
to have more of a choice of vehicles and terms, we developed our own specifications to
lease vehicles beginning in July, 1999.
The specifications requested bids to lease four different vehicle makes/models for a
three-year period. Based upon the pricing, the City would then be able to select the
most appropriate vehicle based on price and vehicle features.
We advertised in the Legal Notice Section of the Herald and mailed bid packages to
everyone on our bidder's list. A total of nineteen bid packets were mailed or picked up
at the Government Center.
On May 25,1999, sealed bids were opened. Two company's submitted bids as follows:
1999 1999 1999 1999 Ford
Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac Crown Over
Regal Intrigue Grand Prix Victoria Mileage
w/LS w/GX wiSE w/Base Bid Addendum Rate/Cents

Page (2)
Resolution Awarding Bid Lease of Vehicles
for Detective Bureau
The bids were forwarded to the Police Department for evaluation and recommendation. The
Police Department has recommended that we obtain four 1999 Ford Crown Victoria's from
Leasing Associates at a cost of $458.00 per vehicle per month.
We concur with their recommendation. Although Leasing Associates failed to submit a bid
bond, all other requirements were met. The Crown Victoria is a proven vehicle for Police
work and justifies the minor ($5 per month) difference in rental cost compared to the
Oldsmobile Intrigue.
Based on the forgoing, I recommend approval of the resolution awarding the bid to Leasing
Associates, Inc. for the lease of four (4) Crown Victoria's at a monthly lease amount of
$458.00 per vehicle per month for a term of three years.

Association to provide traffic control jurisdiction by our Police Department over the
private roads within the condominium. The Agreement will increase the visibility of the
police force and enhance traffic enforcement.
BACKGROUND
In our continued efforts to provide improved police services to the community, we have
initiated a program that allows a condominium or homeowners associations to enter into
an Agreement with the City to provide traffic control jurisdiction over a private roadway
within the development. This permits the Police Department to conduct traffic
enforcement activities on private property at the request of the owner.
Florida State Statute 316.006 allows municipalities to enter into such agreements
provided they are reimbursed for the actual costs of traffic control and enforcement, the
owner agrees to indemnify the City and provide liability insurance.
The City will bill the owner $25.00 per hour for each officer required to perform the
traffic enforcement detail when requested by the owner. Whenever possible, traffic
complaints made by the occupants of the property will be responded to and handled as
a call for service, without charge to the owner.

The program has been received well by the community.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution
requesting the Florida Building Commission to adopt a Florida Building Code that will
maintain the current level of safety provided to the residents of the City and South
Florida.
BACKGROUND
The Florida Building Commission is currently revising the Florida Building Code for
submission to the Florida Legislature for the next regular session. The proposed drafts
of the Code do not provide adequate protection of the structural and envelope
components of buildings, adequate administrative safeguards, satisfactory plan review
and capable construction inspections. In light of these shortcomings, the County and
many cities have requested the Florida Building Commission to address these
concerns.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Soroka:
On April 27, 1999 the Board of County Commissioners adopted, and Mayor Alex Penelas endorsed,
Resolution No. R-443-99 (copy attached). The resolution petitions the State Legislature to adopt a
building code that will maintain the level of life safety currently provided by the South Florida
Building Code for the residents of hurricane prone areas such as Miami-Dade and other South
Florida Counties.
Miami-Dade County is the most populous county in the State of Florida, and our geographical
location puts us in the historical path of the majority of hurricanes. Millions of our citizens must
remain in their homes during hun'icane occurrences, and we need a building code that will ensure
the structural integrity of those homes. The present drafts of the proposed Florida Building Code do
not provide for wind resistant structural and envelope components for our buildings, adequate
administrative safeguards, satisfactory plan, review and capable construction inspections. We need
you and your fellow administrators to assist us in preserving the level of life safety provided by our
South Florida Building Code.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me if you desire
additional information.

SUBJECT: Resolution awarding contracts for Group Insurance Benefit
programs for city employees
July 6, 1999 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item: '~? '~
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which
awards contracts for the various components of the City Group Insurance program for
city employees. The resolution awards contracts for Life and A D & D, Long Term
Disability, Health Insurance and IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator.
Background
Mr. Lloyd Rhodes of the Rhodes Insurance Group, the City's Group Insurance
Broker/Consultant, under resolution number 96-26 worked with city staff to develop a
set of specifications for the following coverages:
--Group Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD & D)
--Group Long Term Disability Benefits
--Group Health Plans
--125 Plan Administrator
The contracts for the above Group Insurance program for city employees will expire on
September 1, 1999. Therefore, Mr. Rhodes, developed a set of specifications
encompassing all the above coverages. The availability of the RFPs were advertised in
the Miami Herald on May 17, 1999. A copy of the text of both advertisements is
included as attachment "A" and "Al ".
Request for Proposals were mailed to the various insurance companies who deal with
each type of coverage. Mr. Rhodes also worked with each company to answer
questions and encouraged each to propose. I believe that Mr. Rhodes did an excellent
job of working with the various companies and obtaining good rates and coverages for
almost all areas.
We received sealed proposals in the City Manager's office on June 16th. The Request
for Proposal for Group Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D), Long Term
Disability Insurance, IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator were submitted at 2:00 p.m.
and the Request for Proposal for Group Health Plan at 3:00 p.m. A total of five (5)
proposal packets were received for the Group Life, AD&D, Long Term Disability
Insurance, and IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator and a total of two (2) were received
for the Group Health Plan. Attachment "A2" reflects a summary of the proposals
received for Group Life, AD & D, Long Term Disability Insurance and IRS Section 125
Plan Administrator. Attachment "A3" reflects a summary of the Group Health Plan.
Mr. Rhodes evaluated all proposals received for coverage. His recommendations and
supporting documents, worksheets, etc. are included as attachment "B", "BI" and "C'.
Mr. Rhodes did an excellent job of analyzing and comparing each plan and I urge
individuals to review the detailed analysis of each coverage.
will attempt to summarize Mr. Rhodes recommendations for each coverage type
below:
1). Health Insurance - Analysis is included as attachment "C'. Mr. Rhodes
recommends that we select United Health Care Point of Service Plan 200. Originally,
United Health Care proposed an overall increase of 11% based on existing benefits to
the City's current plan. After diligent negotiations with United Health Care, a 3%
reduction was agreed upon from their initial renewal offer. This brings the overall
increase to 8%. This plan offers excellent benefits with all the advantages of a Health
Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) rolled into
one plan. The plan contains a network of providers similar to an HMO with Iow co-
payments ($5) but with the ability to go outside the network. If the employee opts to go
outside the network, there is a deductible $500/year and the plan pays 70% of the
balance once the deductible is met. The rates for this plan are very cost effective. Only
one HMO proposed by Blue Cross Blue Shield had a lower overall premium; however,
with higher co-payments. Based on the minimal cost differences between these two
plans, Mr. Rhodes recommends we select the Plan 200. The monthly rates for this plan
are:
Employee Only $183.24
Employee & Spouse $370.29
Employee & Children $345.12
Employee, Spouse & Children $522.12
Even though Blue Cross Blue Shield has a slightly lower overall premium, the plan does
not allow for a Point of Service options of going outside the network. This means that
referrals from a primary care physician are required to seek a specialist. The United
HealthCare Point of Service plan does not require referrals to specialists. Also, the
employee's premium for dependant coverage with the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan is
6% to 9% higher than United Health Care. Mr. Rhodes believes that the benefit flexibility
and lower co-payment more than offset the cost offered by United Health Care.
Therefore, Mr. Rhodes recommended that we offer United Health Care Point of Service
Plan 200.
2) IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator- No responses or proposals were received.
The lack of responses is possibly attributed to the lack of participation in the flexible
spending account. Only four (4) employees out of a possible one hundred eight (108)
are currently enrolled. Eagle Administrators was selected in 1996 through an RFP
process. Upon written confirmation, the existing services will be maintained through
August 31, 2000 (See attachment "B").
3) Long Term Disability - Analysis is included on attachment "B". Three proposals
were received. Unum is recommended, because out of the three proposals none were
able to offer the definition of disability, which included "own occupation" to age 65.
"Own Occupation" coverage means that you are eligible to receive disability benefits if
you are unable to perform the normal job functions of your occupation at the time you
became disabled, even though you may be able to perform some other (usually lesser
paying) job. For example, if a Police Officer lost the use of a hand due to an accident,
he would not be eligible to draw disability benefits under the other programs because he
could perform another job not requiring the use of his hand. Under the current plan,
Unum includes this major benefit for all employees. They have agreed to renew the
existing contract on September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000.
4) Life & AD & D - Five (5) proposals were received as shown on attachment "B". All
the proposals offered benefits comparable to the existing benefits. Fortis offered a plan
that is approximately $1,400.00 less than the current plan. It is recommended to
accept Fortis's proposal.
I have reviewed the proposals and Mr. Rhodes recommendations. I concur with each
recommendation. The overall costs of this program is reasonable. On attachment "BI"
a quick overall analysis illustrate that for the Group Health Insurance a total monthly
premium of $31,579.19. This is an 8 % increase from the current total monthly
premium of $29.239.92. United Health Care's Employee Only Coverage was slightly
higher; however, the Employee & Spouse, Employee & Children, and Employee &
Spouse & Children Coverage are slightly lower compared to Blue Cross Blue Shield.
On the Long Term Disability, Unum will continue to provide the current benefit since
other providers were unable to offer the definition of disability. On the Group Life and
AD&D, Fortis proposed rate of $0.20 per $1,000 is a decrease from the current rate of
$0.23 per $1,000. The IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator, Eagles Administrators will
continue to provide service despite the lack of participation by city employees.
Again, I recommend approval of the award to each of the companies and products
included in Mr. Rhodes recommendation. I believe we have met our primary objective
of obtaining insurance products for our employees at cost that is affordable and flexible
to both the City and the employees.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Harry,
We have completed our review of the qualified proposals received in reference to the
RFP mentioned above. A summary of the responses by plan is outlined below.
Life, AD&D
Respondents
Fortis
Florida Combined Life
ITT Hartford
Reliastar
Unum

IRS Section 125 Plan Administrator No Responses
In total, eighteen companies were provided with copies of the RFP. Declination letters
indicated a lack of competitiveness or inability to quote based on the percentage of police
and fire personnel. The existing life and AD&D carrier, Standard Life, did not respond to
the RFP in a timely manner.
The lack of responses for the 125 Plan Administrator is based on the lack of participation
in the flexible spending account. Of the 108 eligible employees, only four are utilizing
the plan. The current ,service provider, Eagle Administrators, was selected in 1996

through an RFP process. They have agreed verbally to maintain their existing service
through 8/31/00. We expect written confirmation of that agreement by next week.
All of the five life and AD&D proposals received offered benefits which were similar to
the existing benefits. Only one of the five companies offered premiums competitive to
the current premium. Fortis has offered a plan which is approximately $1,400 less than
the current plan. The deviations between the current Standard Life and proposed Fortis
plans is attached for your review. It is our opinion that the positive deviations outweigh
the possible negatives and we recommend that the Fortis proposal be accepted for a
September 1, 1999 effective date.
Of the three long term disability proposals received, none were able to offer the definition
of disability which included own occupation to age 65~ The current plan, Unum, includes
this provision for all employees~ This is a major benefit for the employees. Unum has
provided a letter confirming renewal of the existing contract which would extend the
current rate through 8/31/00. Based on the RFP objective of maintaining existing benefit
levels, we recommend that the City of Aventura renew with Unum effective 9/1/99.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding our recommendations or analyses.
Sincerely,
Lloyd F. Rhodes

Re: City of Aventura Group Health Plan RFP # 99-6-16-3
Dear Harry,
The companies which were provided with the City of Aventura's health plan RFP are
listed below, along with their responses.
1. Aetna US Healthcare
2. AvMed Health Plan
3. Blue Cross Blue Shield/Health Options - proposal received
4. Cigna
5. Foundation Health
6. HIP Network
7. Humana Health Plan - no response, not competitive
8. Neighborhood Health/John Alden - no response, not competitive
9. Preferred Choice/Florida Health choice - not licensed in Miami-Dade
10. United HealthCare (current provider) proposal received
The City's current plan, United HealthCare, initially proposed an overall increase of 11%
based on existing benefits. Blue Cross Blue Shield/Health Options responded with two
proposals, one calling for a 16.64% increase over current premiums and the other a
7.78% increase. Both of these plans are point of service plans which require referrals to
specialists. The existing United HealthCare point of service plan does not require
referrals to specialists. This benefit variation is not available from Blue Cross Blue
Shield and we feel represents a significant reduction in plan benefits. Additional
negotiations with United have produced a 3% reduction in their initial renewal offer,
which brings the overall increase to 8%. This offer will increase the City's annual
contribution by approximately $24,500.
In analyzing the Blue Cross Blue Shield competitive premiums, the reduction in the
City's contribution ov6r the United final renewal amounts to approximately $4,160 over

12 months. However, the employee's premium for dependent coverage with the Blue
Cross Blue Shield plan is 6% to 9% higher than the final United renewal. We feel these
premium differences, combined with the requirement of specialist referrals, eliminates
Blue Cross Blue Shield as a viable alternative at this time.
Based on this analysis, The Rhodes Insurance Group recommends that the City of
Aventura accept the United HealthCare proposal for an effective date of October 1, 1999.

Lloyd F. Rhodes

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM:
DATE: June 18, 1999
SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting in Principle the Capital Improvement Program
Document 1999/00 to 2003/2004
July 6, 1999 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution adopting, in
principle, subject to annual revision and authorization, the Capital Improvement
Program for 1999/00 to 2003/04.
BACKGROUND
The 1999/00 to 2003/04 Capital Improvement Program document represents the
second update of the CIP that was originally prepared for the five-year cycle of 1997 to
2002. The document was reviewed at the May Commission Workshop Meeting.
Since the Workshop Meeting, more up-to-date revenue and expenditure information
was available relating to the five-year projections.
The preliminary assessed taxable valuable amount for the City provided by the Property
Appraisers Office rose 9%, not 2.5% as originally projected. The operating
expenditures for the 1999/00 Fiscal Year were revised to reflect the proposed budget
amounts to be submitted to the City Commission next month. The operating
expenditure increase will only be 10% not 12% as originally projected.
Based on the results of these revisions, $2,500,000 was added to the anticipated
reserve at the end of the five-year period. The reserve in the fifth year increased from
$3,644,924 to $6,144,173. I have attached revised Tables 1, 2 and 3 of the CIP
document.
Memo to City Commission
Page 2
Over eighty (80) copies of the document and a cover letter advising them of the meeting
were distributed to the various condominium boards in the City and major businesses.
Once the CIP is adopted, the first year 1999/00 will be incorporated into the proposed
1999/00 budget.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
