RECOMMENDATION .
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission schedule a first and only
reading public hearing on April 20, 2005, to consider the proposed designation of the Flamingo
Waterway Historic District.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution.
BACKGROUND
In September of 2003, the Planning Department received a request by local area residents to place
an item on the agenda of the Historic Preservation Board at their next available meeting. This item
of request was for the Historic Preservation Board to consider directing the Planning Department to
proceed with the historic designation process for an area of the City generally located on the west
side of Pinetree Drive between West 4ih Street and 4816 Pinetree Drive as a possible historic
district.
On September 9, 2003, the Historic Preservation Board unanimously approved a motion (7 to 0) to
direct staff to schedule a special meeting of the Board in October of 2003, at which time the Board
would consider directing staff to commence with the historic designation process for a possible local
historic district in the multi-family residential area at West 4ih Street and Pinetree Drive.

On October 22, 2003, the Historic Preservation Board unanimously approved a motion (6 to 0; 1
absence) to direct the Planning Department to proceed with research and prepare a preliminary
evaluation and recommendation report for a possible historic district that is generally bounded by
the center line of West 4 ih Street to the south, the eastern right-of-way line of Pinetree Drive to the
east, the northern lot line of 4816 Pinetree Drive to the north, the western lot line of 353 West 4 ih
Street to the West, and the eastern bulkhead lines of the Flamingo Waterway and Lake Surprise to
the northwest.
On January 13, 2004, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the preliminary evaluation report
with recommendations prepared by the Planning Department relative to the designation of the
proposed Flamingo Waterway Historic District. The Historic Preservation Board unanimously
approved a motion (5 to 0; 2 absences) to direct staff to prepare a designation report and schedule
a public hearing relative to the designation of this proposed historic district.
On December 9, 2004, the Planning Department hosted a courtesy public workshop in St. John's
Methodist Church at 4760 Pinetree Drive within the proposed historic district. The focus of the
community workshop was to discuss the possible historic designation of the Flamingo Waterway
Historic District. About a dozen persons were in attendance at the meeting. There was a
consensus of support for the designation of the proposed historic district; however, two attendees
expressed a concern that historic designation may preclude the future ability to demolish their
residential complex and construct a new structure above parking.
On December 14, 2004, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the designation report and
unanimously approved a motion (7 to 0) to recommend approval ofthe designation ofthe proposed
Flamingo Waterway Historic District. At the same meeting, the Board approved a motion to
reclassify the status of the Regency House apartments at 353 West 47th Street from "contributing"
to "non-contributing."
On January 25, 2005, the Planning Board reviewed the designation report and unanimously
approved a motion (5 to 0; 2 absences) to recommend approval ofthe designation ofthe propos~d
Flamingo Waterway Historic District.
DESIGNATION PROCESS
The designation report for a proposed historic district is required to be presented to the Historic
Preservation Board and the Planning Board at separate public hearings. Following public input, the
Historic Preservation Board votes on whether or not the proposed historic district meets the criteria
listed in the Land Development Regulations of the City Code and transmits a recommendation on
historic designation to the Planning Board and City Commission. Ifthe Historic Preservation Board
votes against the designation, no further action is required. If the Historic Preservation Board votes
in favor of designation, the Planning Board reviews the designation report and formulates its own
recommendation. The recommendations of both Boards, along with the designation report, are
presented to the City Commission. Because in this instance the proposed ordinance involves an
area of less than ten (10) contiguous acres, the City Commission must hold one (1) public hearing
on the designation. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Commission can immediately adopt
the ordinance with a 5/7 majority vote.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed designation of the Flamingo Waterway Historic District is appropriate to protect
the aesthetic, architectural, and historical importance of the residential neighborhood. The
Commission Memorandum of February 23, 2005

Flamingo Waterway Historic District

positive social and economic impact that preservation has had on the revitalization of Miami
Beach is well known. Local residents, as well as visitors from around the world, are seeking
the very special urban character of Miami Beach that the Planning Department seeks to
preserve. Further, alterations are permitted to historic structures provided that the changes
are found to be appropriate by the Historic Preservation Board.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this
resolution scheduling a first reading public hearing on April 20, 2005, to consider the proposed
designation of the Flamingo Waterway Historic District.
