This correspondence is transmitted to you pursuant to
Miami Beach City Code § 118-262 ("Code") and it shall serve
as a notice of appeal of the above-referenced order of the
City of Miami Beach Design Review Board ("DRB") rendered on
June 1, 2004 (copy attached). It is my understanding that
the applicable appellate filing fee is $500.00 and,
accordingly, I have enclosed a check in that amount. If the
appellate filing fee should somehow differ from the
enclosed amount, kindly advise as soon as possible and I
shall tender the difference forthwith.
This appeal is filed on behalf of the Oceanside at
Fisher Island Condominium Association No. 5, Inc. (the
~Association"), who possess standing to file this appeal
under Code §§ 118-262(a) (i)-(ii) and Florida law. The
verbatim transcripts of the proceedings before the DRB have
been prepared and shall be timely filed in accordance with
the terms of the Code.
A plain reading of the Code suggests that this
correspondence contains the entirety of the necessary
contents for filing an appeal from the DRB to the City
Commission. In this regard, the Code does not specifically

require that a notice of appeal set forth the specific
basis for the appeal at the time of filing. If my reading
of the Code differs from your reading, kindly advise and I
shall supplement this notice to include the arguments that
necessitate and justify quashal of the DRB's order.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions concerning this correspondence.
