Public Hearing
SUBJECT:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida, Affirming the Development Regulations Pertaining to The Normandy
Isle Park and Waiving Certain Development Regulations Dealing with Required
Setbacks, Pursuant to Section 142-425 (D) of the Code of the City of Miami
Beach, in Order to Construct a New Swimming Pool Facility and Multi Purpose
Court.
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The project consists of the construction of a new, replacement, swimming pool facility and a
multi-purpose court as well as other improvements associated with the renovation of the
Normandy Isle Park.
The southerly facade of the existing Pool Building is located adjacent to approximately 500 linear
feet of underground storm sewer lines and other underground utility service lines such as FPL and
Bellsouth. Along Normandy Drive, on the north, the existing pool deck currently encroaches 5"
within the allowable 20' setback.
The existing tennis court, located at the southwest corner of the property, also encroaches 4' along
Rue Granville, on the west, and 15'-2" along 71st Street, on the south. Moreover, the existing
basketball court encroaches 2'-4" along 71st Street.
An existing soccer field is located adjacent to the aforementioned underground utility lines on the
south side of the pool building. The new and larger replacement pool facility will be constructed, on
the site, at the same location as the old structure. The location of the existing soccer field and that
of the aforementioned underground utilities impede any construction expansion of the pool building
to the south.

Moreover, any intent to relocate the utility lines would constitute a hardship to the City. The cost
for their relocation would be, approximately, an additional $165,000 to the current estimated cost of
construction. Due to these circumstances, a 6'-3" encroachment within the allowable 20' setback
along Normandy Drive, on the north is required.
The existing tennis and basketball courts will also be replaced by a new multi-purpose court. The
new court will be located at the southwest corner of the site. The 20' setback requirement on the
west, along Rue Granville will be complied with. However, due to existing site constraints, and in
order to provide the proper working dimensions for the new multi-purpose court, a 16'-9"
encroachment along 71 st Street, on the south, is required. This represents an additional 19" to the
existing tennis court current encroachment of 15'-2" along the same artery.
The Administration is requesting that the City Commission affirm the Planning and Zoning Director's
determination that the site should be reviewed under the development regulations of the RM-l
District of the Code of the City of Miami Beach pursuant to Section 142-425.a which reads, in part:
"The development regulations (setbacks, floor area ratio, signs, parking, etc.) in the
GU government use district shall be the average of the requirements contained in the
surrounding zoning districts as detennined by the planning and zoning director, which
shall be approved by the City Commission."
The Administration is also requesting that the City Commission waive certain development
regulations regarding setbacks, pursuant to Section 142-425 (d) of the Code which reads, in part:
"Following a public hearing, the development regulations required by these land
development regulations, except for the historic preservation and design review
processes, may be waived by a five-sevenths vote of the City Commission for
developments pertaining to governmental owned or leased buildings, uses and sites
which are wholly used by, open and accessible to the general public, and for
convention center hotels and convention center hotel accessory garages and city
utilized parking lots, provided they are continually used for such purposes.
Notwithstanding the above, no GU property may be used in a manner inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan."...
The public hearing on this waiver has been given 15 day notice, the notice has been posted on the
property, and advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and mailed to all property owners
within 375 feet.

ANAL YSIS (Continued)
This analysis is based on plans submitted by Carr Smith Corradino dated June 15, 1999. In order
for the development of the project to proceed, it is necessary to waive the following development
regulations:
The minimum required front yard setback in the RM-l District is twenty (20') feet. The swimming
pool facility is located 13'-9" from the north property line along Normandy Drive. Therefore a
waiver of 6' - 3" is required. The multi purpose court, basically a concrete deck at grade, is located
3'-3" from the south property line along 71st Street. A waiver of 16'-9" is required.
Based upon the forgoing, the Administration has concluded that the City Commission should adopt
the resolution affirming the development regulations pertaining to the Normandy Isle Park and
waiving certain development regulations pursuant to the Code of the City of Miami Beach regarding
setbacks in order to construct a new swimming pool facility and multi purpose court at the
Normandy Isle Park.
