D. APPEAL
1. FILE NO. 3585 SHERBROOKE APTS., INC./ MITCHELL SCOTT
INVESTMENT GROUP, INC.
901 COLLINS AVENUE, 909 COLLINS AVENUE,
919 COLLINS AVENUE, MIAMI BEACH
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
(FOR LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS PLEASE CONTACT
THE PLANNING DEPT.)
Applicant has requested case to be continued or deferred to the March 1, 2013
meeting
Sherbrooke Apts., Inc./Mitchell Scott Investment Group, Inc., is appealing under
Section 118-136 of the City Code an administrative decision of the Planning
Director which denied the proposed transfer of Floor Area (FAR) for a project at
901, 909, and 919 Collins Avenue to the Board of Adjustment. The
Administrative Determination, dated April 10 2012, determined that a proposed
unification of three subject properties through the use of the proposed Covenant
in Lieu of Unity of Title is not a true “unified development site” as required by
Section 118-5, and the proposed construction of a rooftop addition on the
Sherbrooke Apartments through the use of a transfer of development rights does
not conform with the applicable Charter provision 1.03(c) or the Land
Development Regulations.
