N/A . ,. - ~ F FISCAL IMPACT According to the applicant, the estimated cost of the entire' project and the value of the ~" proposed qualifying improvements .for the subject single-family property is $250,000. The project commencement date is scheduled for May of 2010 and the estimated .project ' completion date ~is November of 2010..,. ~~ Please note that the revenue implication .calculation provided below is a rough. - approximation. It assumes that the Miami=Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, will not reduce the actual square footage of the additions to ,adjusted square footage; It ,assumes that, the City's millage rate, the building market value, as well as the building - - class and grade -value will remain.. the same. It is also based solely on the estimated . ~ - value, of the new additions and not to any repairs"to the historic residence. ' . The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's Office determined in 2009 that the suti~ect J :property hasan adjusted square footage of 2,392 and a ~bui,lding value of $235,01'4. The . _ lot size is approximately.. 7,500 square feet with a land value of $354,624. The Property Appraiser's 'Office' advised that the subject,property has an effective 'building value per adjusted square foot of $98 which is based upon its building class ;arid ~ . •~ ~~ grade. According to the applicant, the proposed actual,square,footage of the qualifying.- building additions for the, site .is .approximately 272 sq';uare feet. Then the estimated - - value of the proposed increase in "square footage would be $26,724. In FY 2009/1 O,, the - ' ~" adopted millage ratefor'the City of-Miami Beach is 5.91.' ' .. - ", - For the sole purpose. of providing an estimated savings to the tax payer, we will 'assume ~ - . there will be no change in millage rate over the ten year'peciod in which the exemption: is ~' granted. When using the estimated 5.-91 millage rate for FY 2009/10, the applicant will ' - save annually ~ approximately $160.00 from Miami Beach's portion of. property taxes. , Again, 'this calculation is a rough estimate of the revenue implication to the.'City due to . ~ many variables. - ANALYISIS ,, The, applicant is to be. greatiy commended for the retention and sensitive restoration of . the subject home. The prop©sed additions are in keeping with the architectural period of~ :.the original structure. If is very important that the current owner has chosen to preserve . and expand this historic home, rather ahan to demolish and replace it.
