COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: February 8, 2012
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
PRECONSTRUCTION APPLICATION FOR HISTORIC AD
VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY
PROPERTY AT 5240 NORTH BAY ROAD, AND AUTHORIZING
THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S
OFFICE TO GRANT THIS TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE CITY'S
PORTION OF AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES FOR
QUALIFYING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
FOLLOWING SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT
AND COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
proposed resolution, thereby approving a Preconstruction Application for Historic Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption for a single-family property located at 5240 North Bay Road.
HISTORIC SINGLE-FAMILY AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION
On December 8, 2004, the City of Miami Beach enacted legislation that authorizes an
exemption for its portion of ad valorem taxes for improvements to historically designated
single-family homes (Sections 118-600 to 118-612 of the Miami Beach City Code). This
legislation allows for the City's portion of property taxes to be "frozen" at the rate they
were assessed before qualifying improvements are made to an historic single-family
home for a period of ten (10) years. The "freezing" is accomplished by removing from
the assessment the incremental value added by the qualifying improvements. Only the
incremental value of the qualifying improvements shall be "frozen" for the ten year
period.
Qualifying improvements are the result of restoration, renovation, rehabilitation and/or
compatible additions to an historic single-family property. In order for an improvement to
qualify for an exemption, the improvement must be determined by the Historic
Preservation Board and City Commission to be consistent with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Certificate of Appropriateness Criteria in
Section 118-564 of the Miami Beach City Code. However, the Miami-Dade County
Commission Memorandum of February 8, 2012
Historic Single-Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
5240 North Bay Road
Page 2 of 5
Property Appraiser's Office will make the final determination of whether an improvement
qualifies for an exemption.
The application for Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption is a two step process. The "Part
1 — Preconstruction Application" is normally submitted to the Planning Department prior
to any construction or demolition for an eligible single-family property. The "Part 2 —
Review of Completed Work" is submitted to the Planning Department upon substantial
completion of the project.
Upon submittal of a completed Part 1 - Preconstruction Application, the Planning
Department will schedule the request for approval of Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
from the Historic Preservation Board at their next regularly scheduled meeting. The
Board will review and make a recommendation to the City Commission to grant or deny
an application for tax exemption.
The Planning Department will transmit the request for approval of Historic Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption, together with the Part 1 — Preconstruction Application and the
recommendations of the Historic Preservation Board and staff, for final consideration by
the City Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting. A majority vote of the City
Commission is required to approve an application for tax exemption.
For final approval of an Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption, the applicant must submit
to the Planning Department the Part 2 — Review of Completed Work upon substantial
completion of the project. A review will be conducted by Planning Department staff to
determine whether or not the completed improvements are in compliance with the work
approved by the City Commission in the Part 1 - Preconstruction Application. To qualify
for a tax exemption, the property owner is required to enter into a covenant or
agreement with the City guaranteeing that the character of the property and its qualifying
improvements will be maintained during the period that the exemption is granted.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Lot 17 in Block 14 of La Gorce Golf Subdivision, according to the Plat thereof, as
recorded in Plat Book 14 at Page 43 of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County,
Florida.
EXISTING STRUCTURE
The one-story residence was designed by prominent Mid Century architect Maurice
Weintraub in the Post War Modern style of architecture in 1958.
The building's exterior retains nearly all of its original features, details and materials, as
evident upon examination of the original plans provided by the current owner. The front
fagade has an overall generally symmetrical design with a strong horizontal emphasis. It
is composed of a monumental open-air entry vestibule with soaring front facing gable
roof spanning the entire width of the structure. The windows within the entry feature are
designed to follow the angle of the roof. Other features on the front fagade include a
projecting frame surrounding the large window at the southern portion, scored stucco,
the use of field stone on either side of the entry feature, overhanging eaves, and a low
wall made of pink rough cut Georgia marble and decorative breeze block. This use of
mixed textured surfaces together was typical of the Post War Modern style of
architecture. The original garage structure remains intact at the north side of the front

(east) elevation and is clad in pink rough cut Georgia marble with a large decorative
breezeblock panel at the center. The garage consists of a flat built up gravel roof with
3'-0" overhangs which intersect the main structure a precise points.
The rear portion of the house is covered with a flat, built up roof. The rear (western)
elevation was designed to take advantage of the magnificent views of Biscayne Bay.
Generally symmetrical, the rear elevation is composed of three bays of clear, mullion
free, sliding glass doors. A swimming pool was also constructed within the rear yard at
the time of construction.
BACKGROUND
At its June 14, 2011 meeting, the Historic Preservation Board approved a request by the
owner for the individual designation of the single-family property at 5240 North Bay Road
as an historic structure.
At the same meeting, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed and approved a request
for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the partial demolition, renovation and restoration
of the existing home and the construction of a new addition.
At its November 8, 2011 meeting, the Historic Preservation Board held a public hearing
and voted in favor of recommending that the Mayor and City Commission approve a
Preconstruction Application for Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for qualifying
improvements to the historically designated single-family property at 5240 North Bay
Road.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
The applicant is requesting City Commission approval of an application for Historic Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption for the single-family property at 5240 North Bay Road. In brief,
the project includes the improvements to the historic residence and site indicated below.
A. Exterior Architectural Features
1. The existing original breeze block panel located on the garage will be
retained and restored.
2. The existing deteriorated wood framing at the east (front) elevation will be
replaced with pressure treated wood to match original and painted to match
original.
3. The existing delaminated stucco, which is currently causing water intrusion,
will be replaced with new smooth stucco, consistent with the original design.
4. A two-story rear addition that maintains the East (front) elevation in its
entirety, except for changing a window to a sliding glass door, and the
building footprint. Starting approximately 20 feet west of the front of the
house, the existing one story structure will be substantially removed to allow
for a new two story addition. Portions of the South and North walls will be
maintained as well as the floor structure. The proposed new square footage
is as follows:
Commission Memorandum of February 8, 2012
Historic Single-Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
5240 North Bay Road
Page 4 of 5
a. Ground floor- 5,076 square feet, which includes a new entry loggia,
living area, garage, staff room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, media
room, guest bedroom, and covered patio.
b. Second floor- 2,756 square feet, which includes a new master
bedroom and bathroom, two bedrooms, exercise room and exterior
balconies.
5. The existing house will be brought into compliance with current building
codes. All exterior doors and windows will be replaced with impact rated
doors and windows and all roofing will be new with the exception of the one
story flat roof over the garage which is in good condition. All Mechanical,
Electrical and Plumbing systems will be replaced with new code compliant
systems.
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 $574,025.00.
The project commencement date is scheduled for November 15, 2011 and the estimated
project completion date is December 15, 2012.
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 2011 that the subject
property has an adjusted square footage of 4,915 and a building value of$593,207. The
lot size is approximately 13,456 square feet with a land value of$1,905,853.
The Property Appraiser's Office advised that the subject property has an effective
building value per adjusted square foot of $121 which is based upon its building class
and grade. According to the applicant, approximately 4,000 square feet of the existing
structure will be demolished and replaced with approximately 7,832 square footage of
qualifying building additions for the site. Then the estimated value of the proposed
increase in qualifying square footage only, would be $463,672. This figure does not
include any other qualifying improvements that the County Tax Appraiser may determine
to add value to the property. The County Tax Appraiser may determine certain
improvements to the existing structure to be maintenance and therefore not adding
building value to the property. In FY 2010/11, the adopted millage rate for the City of
Miami Beach is 6.2155.
For the sole purpose of providing an estimated savings to the property owner (based on
solely on the square footage of qualifying additions), we will assume there will be no
change in millage rate over the ten year period in which the exemption is granted. When
using the estimated 6.2155 millage rate for FY 20010/11, the applicant will save annually
approximately $2,882 from Miami Beach's portion of property taxes. Again, this
Commission Memorandum of February 8, 2012
Historic Single-Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
5240 North Bay Road
Page 5 of 5
calculation is a rough estimate of the revenue implication to the City due to many
variables.
Since the City of Miami Beach enacted legislation that authorizes an exemption for its
portion of ad valorem taxes for improvements to historically designated single-family
homes on December 8, 2004, a total of sixteen (16) historic single family home owners
have applied for the exemption. As of the date of this memo, a total of five (5)
applications have been finalized and processed by the Miami-Dade County Tax
Appraiser for a total yearly exemption of $31,398 from the city's portion of the taxes (this
number is based on the 2010/2011 millage rate).
ANALYISIS
The applicant is to be greatly commended for the retention and sensitive restoration of
the subject home. In accordance with Section 118-604 of the Miami Beach City Code,
an eligible single-family property must file a written application for Historic Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption with the Planning Department prior to any construction or demolition.
The tax exemption ordinance was adopted by the City Commission on December 8,
2004. The subject single-family property was determined to be an Historic Structure by
the Historic Preservation Board on June 14, 2011. Thereby, the subject single-family
property is eligible to apply for an Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption.
RECOMMENDATION
In view of the foregoing analysis, and consistency with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation and the Certificate of Appropriateness Criteria in Section
118-564 of the Miami Beach City Code, staff recommends in favor of the application for
Miami Beach Historic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for the single-family residence at 5240
North Bay Road.

L REQUEST
The applicant, Ivan Schneider, is requesting that the Historic Preservation Board approve a request
for the designation of an existing single-family home as an historic structure.
11. DESIGNATION PROCESS
The process of designation for historic structures is delineated in Section 118-591(f) in the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code. An outline of this process is provided below:
Step One: An application for the individual designation of a single-family home as an historic
structure is submitted by the property owner to the Planning Department for
recommendation to the Historic Preservation Board. The Board will make a
determination as to whether the single-family home may be designated as an historic
structure based upon the requirements and criteria of Section 118-592 in the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code.
Step Two: Upon receipt of a completed application package,the Planning Department prepares
a Designation Report that will be presented to the Historic Preservation Board at a

hearing. If the Board finds that the proposed single-family designation application
meets the criteria set forth in Section 118-592 of the Land Development Regulations
in the City Code, it may formally adopt the single-family home as a local historic
structure. No public hearing is required before the Planning Board or City
Commission. Upon the designation of a single-family home as an historic structure,
the structure is subject to the Certificate of Appropriateness requirements of Article X
of the Land Development Regulations in the City Code, with the exception of the
interior areas of the structure (which are not be subject to such regulations).

Born in Miami on April 10, 1920, Maurice S. Weintraub made a significant
contribution to the creation of a new architectural style in Miami Beach
following World War ll. This Post War Modern architecture, referred to
locally today as Miami Modern (MiMo), is recognized as a style of national
historical significance. This style established a path of its own in terms of
modern functional simplicity with a new vocabulary of an era of exuberance.
After graduating from Miami Edison Senior High School in 1936, Weintraub
attended the University of Florida where he received an Associates of Arts
degree in 1939 and a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1947. Following
graduation, Weintaub returned to Miami where he began his professional
training as an architect working with Henry Hohauser. By 1951, he opened
an architectural firm in Miami designing numerous buildings throughout the
County.
Weintraub designs embody the spirit of what is known today as MiMo
architecture. He designed over 15 commercial and apartments buildings
throughout Miami Beach's historic districts, but is perhaps best know for the
iconic designs located along Biscayne Boulevard which include the former
Admiral Vee Motel (1957)located at 8000 Biscayne Boulevard and the
Stardust Motel (1956)located at 6730 Biscayne Boulevard.

VIII. ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND
Post War Modern / Miami Modern (About 1945 to 1965). After a hiatus in construction
due to World War II, the Post War Modern style picked up where Art Deco left off with the
added influences of a booming post war economy, new technologies (such as air
conditioning), the prevalence of the redesigned automobile, and a feeling of national
optimism. The local expression of this style has recently been dubbed Miami Modern or
MiMo bythe Greater Metropolitan Miami area's Urban Arts Committee(much as the term Art
Deco was first applied about 1965 when the style actually first appeared in the 1920s).
The Post War Modern style in Miami Beach established a path of its own in terms of modern
functional simplicity with a new vocabulary of pizzazz. Essentially the strong design
personality of Art Deco, as it evolved over two decades in Miami Beach, significantly gave
way to the changing dictates of use and function in the era of post war seaside resort and
residential architecture. From about 1945 to 1965, the widely popular Post War Modern
style was frequently applied to hotels, commercial buildings, apartment houses, and single-
family homes throughout Miami Beach.
The single-family residences designed in the Post War Modern style were generally
constructed with concrete masonry blocks. The exterior walls were frequently finished in
smooth stucco and often mixed two or more textured surfaces together (i.e. stucco with
stone or brick as well as contrasting smooth and fluted stucco surfaces). Roofs were
generally flat or low pitched with flat tile or barrel tile. Both roof types often incorporated
rounded or"soft" eaves and overhanging roof plates. Visual interest was added to single-
family homes in the Post War Modern style with varied roof angles, fin walls, and delta
wings. These residences typically featured casement,jalousie, or awning windows. Drama
was added to the fenestration with flush or projecting boxed windows, wrapping corner
windows,and eyebrows. Porches,terraces, and balconies were commonly highlighted with
decorative wrought iron railings, single or paired pipe columns (occasionally angled), and
terrazzo floor finishes with a simple pattern (if any). Additional design elements frequently
incorporated into single-family homes of this style were brick or stone faced wall panels and
landscape planters as well as cast concrete breeze block in elaborate patterns.
The Post War Modern style has come of age as a contributing historical style in Miami
Beach. It is now enjoying a greatly expanded appreciation as an architectural movement of
historical importance both here as well as in other cities across the nation, including New
York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Strong evidence of this phenomenon was the exhibit in New
York City (March 13 - May 8, 2002) entitled, "Beyond the Box: Mid-Century Modern
Architecture in Miami and New York."' It was co-presented by the Urban Arts Committee of
Miami Beach and the Municipal Arts Society of New York City (the latter is credited with
saving New York's Grand Central Terminal from demolition in the 1960s as well as dozens
of other historic structures since 1897). This fabulous exhibit attracted much publicity and
helped to raise awareness of the special qualities of Post War Modern architecture in South
Florida, in particular Miami Beach, and in New York City.

EXHIBIT "A"
5240 North Bay Road
Constructed in 1958 on a bayfront lot along North Bay Road, the subject one-story home
home was designed by the prominent Mid Century architect Maurice Weintraub in the Post
War Modern style of architecture.
In addition to satisfying the criteria for evaluation as noted above, the building has retained
its strong integrity over the years. The property, located in a prominent residential single-
family area of the city, is complemented by its setting and relationship with numerous other
single-family homes of similar scale in various design styles. Its distinctive character
contributes greatly to the streetscape of its residential neighborhood. The Post War Modern
design is carefully executed, in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The building's
proportion, scale, massing and use of materials are reflective of Post War Modern or MiMo
architecture.
The building's exterior retains nearly all of its original features, details and materials, as
evident upon examination of the original plans provided by the current owner. The front
facade has an overall generally symmetrical design with a strong horizontal emphasis. It is
composed of a monumental open-air entry vestibule with soaring front facing gable roof
spanning the entire width of the structure. The windows within the entry feature are
designed to follow the angle of the roof. Other features on the front fagade include a
projecting frame surrounding the large window at the southern portion, scored stucco, the
use of field stone on either side of the entry feature, overhanging eaves, and a low wall
made of pink rough cut Georgia marble and decorative breeze block. This use of mixed
textured surfaces together was typical of the Post War Modern style of architecture. The
original garage structure remains intact at the north side of the front(east)elevation and is
clad in pink rough cut Georgia marble with a large decorative breezeblock panel at the
center. The garage consist of a flat built up gravel roof with 3'-0"overhangs which intersect
the main structure a precise points.
The rear portion of the house is covered with a flat, built up roof. The rear (western)
elevation was designed to take advantage of the magnificent views of Biscayne Bay.
Generally symmetrical, the rear elevation is composed of three bays of clear, mullion free,
sliding glass doors. A swimming pool was also constructed within the rear yard at the time
of construction.
