SUBJECT: 1521 Collins Avenue: Request for Public Hearing date to
Consider the Revocation of an Amendment to a Certificate
of Appropriateness for Demolition of the Bancroft Annex.
The Request
The Administration requests the City Commission set a public
hearing for the purpose of considering revocation of the amendment
to the existing Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition of
the Bancroft Annex building, 1521 Collins Avenue.
{
Background
At its July 25, 1990 meeting, the City Commission granted an
amendment to a Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition of the
Jefferson-Bancroft Properties (121 15th Street and 1500-1521
Collins Avenue) . The amendment would allow the Bancroft Annex
building to receive a demolition permit prior to receiving a
building permit for the new hotel reviewed by the Historic
Preservation Board in 1987. The Commission granted an amendment to
the Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition subject to an
Agreement that would be drafted by the City Attorney' s Office. The
Agreement included the following terms:
1. Prior to receipt by Mia Beach, Ltd. of the Amendment to the
Certificate and prior to the issuance of a demolition permit,
Mia Beach was to execute the Agreement and present the City
with two irrevocable letters of credit to be approved by the
City Attorney:
a. A letter of credit in the amount of $30, 000 to secure the
boarding up of the Jefferson-Bancroft premises which
would be released after the premises were secured by Mia
Beach.
b letter of credit in the amount of $100, 000 which could
be used by the City to maintain the premises (including
fencing of the pool area) and/or to demolish the. Bancroft
Annex building in the event that Mia Beach fails to do
either. The amount would be reduced to $75, 000 after one
year and for every year thereafter to $50, 000 if Mia
Beach demolishes the Annex timely and properly maintains
the property. This letter of credit would be released
when the premises are redeveloped.

2. Mia Beach was to obtain a demolition permit by August 25,
1990, commence demolition within 15 days and complete
demolition within 30 days after obtaining the permit, or as
soon thereafter as possible using diligent efforts.
3 . Mia Beach was to complete the board-up of the Jefferson and
Bancroft Hotels upon commencement of demolition of the
Bancroft Annex.
As per the City Commission's direction, the City Attorney prepared
the appropriate agreements which the property owner has not
executed. The owner has not submitted a completed application to
the Building Department for a demolition permit. It is the opinion
of the Administration that the property owner has been given
sufficient time to comply with the conditions set at the July 25,
1990 City Commission meeting and that revocation of the Amendment
to the Certificate of Appropriateness be considered.
In order to protect the public and surrounding properties, the
City's Building Official has ordered the securing of the premises
including cement blocking of openings in the Jefferson, Bancroft
and Bancroft Annex buildings and fencing of the pool area.
Administration Recommendation
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set a public
hearing for the purpose of considering revocation of the Amendment
to the Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition of the
Bancroft Annex, 1521 Collins Avenue.
