HASN'T GOTTEN HERE. OKAY. WELL THANK YOU. GREAT. THAT'LL BE GOOD. SO WE'LL TAKE CASE FILE.

COASP2026-020. AN APPLICATION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE PROPERTY AT 1137 OBISPO AVENUE, A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 21, BLOCK 17, CORAL GABLES, SECTION C PLAT. BOOK EIGHT, PAGE 28. MIAMI DADE COUNTY. THE APPLICANT REQUEST DESIGN APPROVAL FOR AN ADDITION IN CARPORT AND ALTERATIONS TO THE RESIDENCE AND SITE WORK. A VARIANCE HAS ALSO BEEN REQUESTED FROM ARTICLE TWO, SECTION 2-101D4B, ONE OF THE CORAL GABLES ZONING CODE FOR THE MINIMUM EAST AND WEST SIDE SETBACKS OF THE NEW ADDITION AND CARPORT. NATALIE. YES. GOOD AFTERNOON, I'M NATALIE DELGADO AND I WILL BE PRESENTING 1137 OBISPO AVENUE IN THE OBISPO AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THIS SITE IS LOCATED IN THE. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE INTERIOR LOT LOCATED BETWEEN COLUMBUS BOULEVARD AND CORDOVA STREET, FRONT FACING OBISPO AVENUE. IN MAY OF 2008, THE OBISPO AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT WAS LISTED IN THE CORAL GABLES REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. IT.

COMPROMISES OF RESIDENTS ABUTTING OBISPO AVENUE. THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES ARE. CORTEZ STREET ON THE EAST AND FERDINAND STREET ON THE WEST. THIS HOME IS DESIGNED BY THIS HOME. 1137 OBISPO AVENUE IS DESIGNED BY H. E RUDY IN 1925 AND ASSIGNED PERMIT NUMBER 2240 43. THE HOME WAS PART OF ERNEST LAWSON'S FINAL YEARS, A PROMINENT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

FROM THE 19TH CENTURY. OVER THE PAST CENTURIES, THE. THERE WERE FEW CHANGES TO THE HOME. THESE ARE. ELIMINATION OF THE EXTENDED SCREEN PORCH IN THE MAIN FACADE. RELOCATION OF THE ENTRANCE DOOR WHERE THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A WINDOW AND REMOVAL OF THE BALCONY IN THE AUXILIARY BUILDING. THIS PROPOSAL IS ACTUALLY PROPOSING TO RESTORE THAT AUXILIARY BUILDING BALCONY TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITIONS. THE APPLICANT AS WELL MENTIONED, IS ASKING FOR TWO VARIANCES SIDE SIDE SETBACKS. ONE IS FOR THE CARPORT AT THE WEST. THAT'S THREE FEET INSTEAD OF THE FIVE FEET MINIMUM. AND THE ADDITION ON THE EAST, FOUR FEET, SEVEN INCHES INSTEAD OF THE FIVE FEET MINIMUM. IT WENT THROUGH THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTS. THEY HAD SOME COMMENTS, BUT IT WAS APPROVED AS NOTED. CURRENTLY, THE STAFF ARE. STAFF IS WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POINTS ARE KIND OF HEARD ON THE WINDOW. RECONFIGURATION OF THE APPLICANT, THE RESTORATION OF THE BALCONY TO WORK WITH US, MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S APPROPRIATE. AND ALSO IN THE WEST FACADE, DIFFERENTIATING THE HOME WITH THE NEW ADDITION. THAT WOULD BE ALL. OKAY, WELL, WELCOME. COME ON UP AND. HELLO. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION TO MAKE? YEAH. OKAY. IT CAN'T.

YEAH. SOMEHOW I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE ONE. IT SHOWS THE PROPERTY ON MILAN. NOTHING'S HAPPENING. SOMETIMES. NO, NO, SOMETIMES THE PRESENTATION NEEDS TO CATCH UP. KGTV, COULD

[00:10:04]

YOU SEE IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE PRESENTATION? YEAH. THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO. ONE MORE FOR THIS ONE. SO THE IT'S JUST THAT I SENSE IS THAT IT'S IN THERE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S AFTER THIS ONE. I THINK THAT IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMOTE UNRELATED. YEAH. UNPLUG IT. THERE WE GO. SO THIS IS THE FRONT FACADE. OKAY. WELL THE FIRST THING YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF. YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR NAME. I'M JULIAN QUINN, I'M THE ARCHITECT OF THE PROJECT. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. JULIAN. SO A NICE EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY GABLES RESIDENCE. 1924, MAYBE 1925. CONSTRUCTED. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THERE WE GO. SO ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING SITE PLAN. AND THEN ON THE RIGHT THE AREA IS HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE ARE THE ADDITIONS 764 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. AND TO THE LEFT IS A NEW PROPOSED PORTICO. ZONING DIAGRAMS. I'M TRYING TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THERE WE GO. SO AT THE TOP IS A RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED. AND THE BOTTOM IS AN IMAGE FROM THE STREET. YOU CAN SEE THE ARCHED PORTICO ON THE LEFT. A VIEW THROUGH THE PORTICO SHOWING THE BALCONY, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A RESTORATION TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN THAT DID HAVE FRENCH DOORS SWINGING OUT TO THE BALCONY AND ON THE BOTTOM YOU CAN SEE THE CURRENT CONDITION WHERE THE DOORS WERE BLOCKED UP AT SOME POINT TO BE THE WINDOWS THAT YOU SEE THERE.

VIEW THE ADDITION AT THE REAR. THE OKAY. IT'S KIND OF SKIPPING ON ITS OWN NOW, BUT THE. SO THE DESIGN INTENT OF THE ADDITION IS TO ESSENTIALLY CONTINUE THE SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN DESIGN LANGUAGE OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE AND COMPLIMENT IT. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, TO BE DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ORIGINAL WITH THE SCORE LINE THAT ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THAT IMAGE, NEAR THE PORTICO, YOU CAN SEE THE ADDITION CONTINUES OUT FLUSH BEYOND THE PORTICO. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING A SCORE LINE THERE ON THAT SIDE. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ADDITION, WE HAVE A BUMP IN OF AROUND SIX INCHES TO DIFFERENTIATE IT. AND ALSO THE THE EXISTING STUCCO IS KIND OF A ROUGH STUCCO. AND WE'RE PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT WILL BE DIFFERENTIATED FROM THAT. WE HAVE SAND FINISH ON THE PLANS, BUT WE MAY MAY WORK WITH HISTORIC TO SEE WHAT WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE.

THESE ARE A FEW IMAGES OF THE EXISTING. THE EXISTING FLOOR PLANS. THE DEMOLITION PLAN. AND THE PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN. IT'S. IT'S GOING ON ITS OWN NOW, I DON'T. IF SOMEONE ELSE CONTROLLING IT. THERE WE GO. SO YOU KNOW THE. IN TERMS OF THE LAYOUT, THE INTENT IS JUST TO TAKE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S 100 YEARS OLD AND BRING IT UP TO MORE MODERN STANDARDS WITH THE LARGER MASTER SUITE WALK IN CLOSETS, YOU KNOW, DOUBLE VANITY, ENSUITE THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THE EXISTING ELEVATIONS ARE ON THE TOP. ON THE TOP RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT FACADE EXISTING. AND THEN BELOW ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT FACADE PROPOSED. THERE ARE A FEW CONDITIONS THAT HISTORIC HAS IN THE COA REPORT THAT WE'VE ALREADY WORKED TO ADDRESS. ONE BEING THAT THE WING WALLS ON THE CARPORT SHOULD ONLY BE AT

[00:15:04]

THE VERY FRONT COLUMN. AND IF THE SLIDE WILL MOVE FORWARD, THERE WE GO. YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM WE'VE. WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN THAT OFF. WE. THERE ARE A FEW WINDOWS THAT ARE VISIBLE THERE THROUGH THE ARCHES AS WELL THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND NATALIE TOLD ME THAT WE SHOULD KEEP THOSE AS ORIGINAL. SO WE'VE. WE'VE ALREADY PLACED THOSE BACK IN THE PLAN ON THE LEFT HAND, THE VERY, THE, THE WINDOW JUST LEFT OF THE PORTE COCHERE ARCH. THERE IS ACTUALLY IN THE PLACE OF AN EXISTING WINDOW AND DOOR THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP EXISTING ELEVATION. AND WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN THE MEMORY OF THAT DOOR AND WINDOW BY HAVING A SIX INCH BLOCK THERE. SO YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE OUTLINE, ALTHOUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT DOOR DOESN'T FIT WITH THE CURRENT KITCHEN CONFIGURATION. VIEW OF THE EAST FACADE, WHICH IS NOT REALLY VISIBLE FROM ANYWHERE. AND A VIEW OF THE. CARRIAGE HOUSE SHOWING THE BALCONY. SIDE ELEVATIONS OF THE CARRIAGE HOUSE. AND WINDOW SCHEDULE. SO I'M EAGER TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS. I WANTED TO ASK, DO YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS THAT YOU CAN PUT UP? I KNOW THEY'RE IN OUR FILES, BUT WE WANT TO SEE.

THAT. DON'T THINK THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT THEY ARE IN YOUR PACKAGE.

SO SOME THE MATERIALS THAT ARE IN THE IPAD ARE NOT ALL THEY'RE NOT ALL THE POWERPOINT. OKAY.

AND ARE THERE MORE DRAWINGS OF THE BALCONY THAT YOU'RE RESTORING OR. NO, WE DON'T HAVE DETAILED DRAWINGS OF IT, BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS IN THE REPORT THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH HISTORIC TO FINE TUNE THAT. SO YEAH, WE DID PUT IN THE CONDITIONS THAT SECTIONS ARE PROVIDED TO UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT BALCONY, BECAUSE I THINK ORIGINALLY WOULD HAVE IT WAS A WOOD FRAME OR BALCONY. AND SO THAT CAN'T, UNLESS THEY GET A VARIANCE FOR IT, WHICH IS NOT ONE OF THE REQUESTS BEING MADE TODAY. JUST ONE MOMENT, PLEASE, PLEASE LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT MARGARET LONDO HAS JOINED THE THE BOARD. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO ALSO MENTION THAT PART OF THE. JUST GOING BACK TO THE DRAWINGS, WE DO HAVE ELEVATIONS OF THAT PORTION OF THE BALCONY, AND I THINK WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT ON THE BRACKET DESIGN THAT WAS THERE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS IN THE REPORT. IT'S A VERY SMALL PORTION, BUT WE DO HAVE ELEVATIONS OF HOW IT LOOKED BOTH ON THE FRONT AND ON THE SIDE. SO IT SHOULD BE HELPFUL FOR FOR THE APPLICANT. SO I SEE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS ALTHOUGH FLIPPED. RIGHT. OR MAYBE IT WAS A IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT WAS A MIRROR OF WHAT IT IS BUILT. WAS THERE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT REBUILDING THE THE MISSING COLUMN IN THE FRONT? SO IN THE PAST, WE'VE WE DO MENTION THESE THINGS TO APPLICANTS, BUT WE HAVE BEEN REQUESTED. RIGHT, NOT TO ADD ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK TO ANY PROJECT. WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND THAT IT BE NICE TO RESTORE THOSE PIECES, BUT WE CAN'T REQUIRE THEM TO RESTORE THE PIECES. I SEE, BUT WOULDN'T THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE AD VALOREM OPPORTUNITIES? AND IF THERE MIGHT BE SOME BENEFIT TO IT FOR THE APPLICANT AND THE. YEAH. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE APPLICANT AT THE TIME, THE THE FRONT PORCH COLUMN. RIGHT. THAT'S KIND OF AN UNNATURAL USE. I MEAN, WHEN THAT COLUMN WAS REMOVED, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS KIND OF AN UNNATURAL SPAN FOR THAT TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT? NO, NO. I HAVE THE SAME COMMENT. I THINK THE I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I LOVE THE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE CARRIAGE HOUSE, BUT I THINK THERE'S THIS HOLE IN THE FRONT,

[00:20:02]

THIS HUGE GAP WITH. AND THERE'S NO VISIBLE ENTRANCE BECAUSE THE OF THE LOCATION, THERE'S NOTHING SIGNALING THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOME. AND IT'S A, A LOVELY PLACE. I JUST THINK IT'S A SERIOUS OMISSION FROM YOUR RENOVATIONS. SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO IT? I WOULD LEAN TOWARDS NOT DOING IT STILL, BUT I, I UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENTS FOR SURE. YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT FOR MORE THAN ONE OF US. OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD POINT. ALEX. SO YEAH, THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT STRUCK ME. I, I APPRECIATE THE, THE SCALE OF THE ADDITION. I THINK IT'S A VERY SENSITIVE ADDITION TO THE PROJECT TO, TO THE PARCEL. I REALLY DO THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM, FROM THAT CENTER COLUMN. I MEAN, IN THE PHOTOS, YOU CAN SEE THAT BEAM SAGGING, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S IT HAD THAT I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS REMOVED, BUT BUT THAT THE PROPORTION OF THAT OPENING IS, IS NOT IS. YEAH. IT'S JUST IT'S WRONG. IT'S NOT HISTORICALLY APPROPRIATE. AND YOU CAN SEE WHY BECAUSE THESE ARE TRADITIONAL BUILDING METHODS, RIGHT? AND THAT CENTER COLUMN WAS THERE TO HOLD UP THAT BEAM AS IT CROSSED. AND YOU CAN SEE THE SAG, RIGHT. SO THERE'S A STRUCTURAL BENEFIT TO ADDING IT AS WELL, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT THERE. I DID WANT TO TOUCH ON THE THE VARIANCES THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED. SO I UNDERSTAND THE, THE WHOLE, THE HOUSE AS IT EXISTS NOW IS NON-CONFORMING, RIGHT? WE'RE ALREADY ENCROACHING ON THE VARIANCES AND YOU'RE NOT ENCROACHING BEYOND THE VARIANCES INTO THE SETBACKS ANY FARTHER, BUT YOU ARE SORT OF ASKING TO INCREASE THEM IN THE OTHER DIRECTION PARALLEL, RIGHT? SO THE CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THE THE RATIONALE FOR THAT CARPORT? I UNDERSTAND THE REAR BUILDING IS STILL FUNCTIONING AS A GARAGE, CORRECT? I GET IT RIGHT. THOSE DOORS ARE SMALL. THEY'RE PROBABLY REALLY LOW. IT'S A NON-CONFORMING GARAGE AS IT IS NOW, RIGHT? SO YOU PROBABLY CAN'T GET A VERY LARGE CAR THERE. AND I CAN SEE, I MEAN, TRADITIONALLY, ALSO THESE, THESE, THESE HOUSES THAT HAD THE REAR GARAGE WOULD HAVE A PORTE COCHERE, RIGHT? YEAH. SO THIS ONE DID NOT. RIGHT. BUT, BUT THAT WAS, THAT IS KIND OF A TRADITIONAL FEATURE. SO IN TERMS OF DESIGN, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NEW ADDITION. BUT IF YOU DIFFERENTIATE IT, YOU KNOW, WE ALLOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS. MY CONCERN IS THE SETBACK. I KNOW YOU AGAIN, WE'RE ALREADY INTO THE SETBACK ON THE REAR. BUT NOW YOU'RE BRINGING THAT CONDITION FORWARD. SO I GUESS CAN YOU CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THAT ONE. AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE. RIGHT. WELL, YEAH. I MEAN, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, EVERYONE KNOWS LIKE THOSE PORTICO SHADES ARE VERY CONSISTENT WITH A LOT OF OTHER HOMES THAT WERE BUILT, YOU KNOW, EARLY, EARLY GABLES HOMES. AND, YOU KNOW, WE FIND IT BEAUTIFUL, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNCTIONAL AS WELL. AND IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, WE OF COURSE NEED THAT VARIANCE BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO FIT IT THERE. AND. THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHY. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, AGAIN, EXISTING NONCONFORMANCE ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU'RE ASKING FOR ESSENTIALLY A FIVE INCH. YEAH, VARIANCE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, RIGHT. A FIVE INCH CHANGE TO THE PLANS TO MAKE IT CONFORMING IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

RIGHT. SO, SO I'M KIND OF ON THE FENCE ABOUT THAT. I GET IT, IT'S A VERY NARROW SITE. YOU'RE NOT GOING VERTICAL, WHICH WE APPRECIATE. YOU'RE NOT KIND OF ENCROACHING ONTO THE STREET WITH THE ADDITION THAT'S HIDDEN IN THE BACK. SO I'M INCLINED TO SUPPORT THAT. BUT. IF AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS IN, IN KIND OF IN A VACUUM, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE PROJECT IN ITS ENTIRETY, RIGHT? ADDING THAT CENTER COLUMN ON THAT FRONT FACADE WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS, TOWARDS KIND OF CONVINCING ME TO ALLOW THAT SIDE SETBACK OF THOSE, THOSE FIVE INCHES, BECAUSE IT WOULD KIND OF TIE IN THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND MAKE IT MORE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE AND MORE CORRECT, I THINK. AND, AND HAVING THAT CHANGE TO THE FRONT FACADE WOULD, I THINK, HELP ME GET OVER THAT HUMP, THAT FIVE INCH HUMP ON THAT SIDE. OKAY.

MISS ALVAREZ, SO I THINK IT'S A NICE PROJECT AND I APPRECIATE THE, THE STRATEGY TO KEEP THE ADDITIONS AND THE NEW WORK, I GUESS, SET BACK FROM THE FRONT. I, I'M OKAY WITH THE, WITH THE

[00:25:04]

VARIANCE ON THE CARPORT, AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD ADDITION TO THE HOUSE. I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S A CERTAIN THINNESS ABOUT IT THAT IT LOOKS A LITTLE SCHEMATIC. I REALIZE YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE TRYING NOT TO IMITATE THE HOUSE OR THE OTHER SPECIFIC EXAMPLES. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE KIND OF THE WALL TO OPENING RATIO AND SOME OF THE OTHER 20 HOUSES, THEY'RE NOT SO THIN.

AND THERE'S THERE WOULD BE SOME ARTICULATION ON THE PARAPET. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE HOUSE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD JUST BE A SIMPLE, YOU NEED SOME KIND OF CAP REGARDLESS, OR, OR ROUNDED EDGE OR SOMETHING TO, TO ADDRESS JUST THE NORMAL CONSTRUCTION CONCERNS. AND THEN I, I THINK THE, I THINK THE BALCONY DOES HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT CAREFULLY AND I REALIZE THAT'S ALREADY IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT I WOULD, I WOULD EVEN ADD LIKE PERHAPS HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT IF IT COULD BE PURSUED AS WOULD BECAUSE YOU'RE REBUILDING SOMETHING THAT. YEAH, WE WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH HIM AND WITH. IT WOULD REALLY BE WITH THE BUILDING OFFICIAL TOO. YES. TYPICALLY TO ALLOW FOR WOOD CONSTRUCTION, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A VARIANCE SPECIFIC TO THAT REQUEST. SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO PURSUE, WE MIGHT HAVE TO REVISIT THAT. SO OUR INTENT WITH THE BALCONY IS TO JUST HAVE A CANTILEVER CANTILEVERED, REINFORCED CONCRETE PROJECTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IN WOOD. SO ESTHETICALLY AND, YOU KNOW, APPEARANCE TO ANY LAYPERSON IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE A WOOD BALCONY IS THE INTENT. SO THE DIMENSIONS WOULD HAVE TO BE LIKE WOOD. SO YOU HAVE TO SEE IF ONCE YOU WRAP IT, IF IT GETS TOO CHUNKY, THEN IT NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE WOOD. AND THEN THE, THE, THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE ZONING CODE NOW THAT DOESN'T ALLOW WOOD RAILINGS. THAT'S WHY I BRING IT UP. BUT I THINK IN THIS CASE THEY SHOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION IF IT COULD BE PURSUED. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO STUDY THAT IN THE RIGHT DIMENSIONS. I DID WANT TO ADD THAT THERE WAS A BOA COMMENT ABOUT INCREASING THE SOUTH AND NORTH CARPORT WALLS TO 12IN. OKAY, SO THAT WILL HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS. YEAH, THOSE ARE IN THE DRAWINGS NOW AS WELL. AND, AND THE SET THAT WE SUBMITTED TO HISTORIC THOSE, THOSE WERE ADDRESSED. OKAY. MISS ALVAREZ, THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LADIES. ANYTHING OVER HERE ON THIS SIDE. I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION. I DIDN'T NOTICE A FLOOR PLAN. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED IT, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE A FLOOR PLAN FOR THE AUXILIARY BUILDING OR THE CARRIAGE. IS THERE ANY INTERIOR CHANGES? NO, IT'S JUST WE'RE REPLACING THE WINDOWS AND MODIFYING THOSE DOORS IN THE BALCONY BACK TO THE ORIGINAL. AND NOT NO DEMOLISHING OR NOTHING. NO. MISS EVERETT ANYTHING? NO. MR. NO. I THINK EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WELL STATED. CONCERNS. THANK YOU. IT'S A GOOD PLAN. I LIKE IT, AND I THINK THAT IT MEETS EVERYTHING. I'M WITH MISTER SILVA AND MISS ALVAREZ. REGARDING THE CENTER POST, I'D ALSO LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER REPLACING THE SURROUND FOR THIS. FOR THE SINGLE FRENCH DOOR IN THE FRONT TOO, SO IT MATCHES YOUR DOLLAR DOING ALL THE WOODWORK, YOU KNOW, WHY NOT HAVE THE CARPENTER JUST MAKE THAT AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE ONE OF THE MOST PERFECTLY RESTORED FACADES IN ALL OF THE CITY. OKAY, I'VE GOT TO COMMEND YOU. I THINK THAT YOUR DESIGN IS EXCELLENT. THANKS FOR NOT GOING HIGHER. EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS TO ADD LOTS AND LOTS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. THE GARAGE ADDITION IS REALLY GOOD. I MEAN, HOW YOU'RE DOING THAT. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL. SO THE PLAN IS, AS I THINK MOST OF US SEE, IT IS VERY GOOD. AND WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE IF YOU'D BE WILLING TO, YOU KNOW, TO UNDERTAKE SOME OF THOSE, THOSE TWO ITEMS AS WELL, IF YOU WOULD. I THINK THAT WE'D BE HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW, ACCOMMODATE AND YOU CAN WORK WITH THE THE STAFF ON, YOU KNOW, ON THE DETAILING OF THOSE. OKAY. SO THAT IT COMES OUT THE WAY YOU'D LIKE IT. LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE ALREADY GOING TO HAVE YOUR CARPENTERS THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR MORE WORK THAN JUST CLADDING THAT CONCRETE. SO YEAH, I MEAN, I JUST, YOU KNOW, FEEL RESISTANT TO CHANGE. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE OWNERS TO CONSIDER. BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD LIKE. SO I'VE GOT TO COMPLIMENT YOU. AND I MEAN, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS, THIS IS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. AND IT'S QUITE SENSITIVE. AND, AND YOU WALKED IN HERE SAYING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D DO AND HOW YOU WOULD RESPECT IT. AND SO I THINK FROM ALL OF US, YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SENSITIVITY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DESIGN EFFORTS. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE OF THE OF THE APPLICANT THIS TIME? IF NOT,

[00:30:02]

WE'LL WE'LL CALL FOR ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS OR IS ANYONE ON ZOOM WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS HEARING? NONE. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC. WOULD YOU LIKE TO? DID YOU SWEAR YOURSELF IN. MR. THROCKMORTON? IF NO ONE'S ONLINE OR ON ZOOM OR IN PERSON, WE CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. YOU WANT TO SPEAK FIRST? SHE'D LIKE TO SPEAK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. OF COURSE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I DID EVERYTHING. YEAH. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. WE CAN'T. IF YOU'RE NOT ON THE RECORD, YOU'RE NOT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. HI. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I SWEAR. YEAH. FIRST. YEAH. YES, I SWEAR. OKAY. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS PENELOPE WHEELER. YEAH. AND I'M THE OWNER OF THAT BEAUTIFUL HOUSE. AND. YEAH, I HEARD EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE SAYING. IT WAS ALSO OUR CONCERN AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE DOOR. BUT I GET THAT THEY SAID THAT WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IN THE FRONT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WAY THAT IS THE HOUSE. AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH ANYTHING, THAT IT WAS THE WAY THAT IT WAS. AND WITH THE CARPORT OR HOW DO YOU CALL THE THE END PART? WE OH, THAT ONE CARPORT. THE TRUTH IS, IT WASN'T EVEN FOR US TO PUT OUR CAR. IT'S JUST THAT IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, THE HOUSE AND IT'S SO SMALL IN THE FRONT. AND YOU OPEN THAT PART. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL IN THE FRONT. THE TRUTH IS, IT WASN'T EVEN THINKING LIKE, MAYBE OUR CAR IS NOT GOING TO CROSS. NO, IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I WAS SAYING. THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS ROLANDO. QUESTION FOR ANNA. WOULD THE CITY HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE HOMEOWNER RESTORING THAT COLUMN? NO, OF COURSE NOT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY. IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD. IF THAT'S A CHANGE OF PLAN THAT THEY MAKE. RIGHT. I WOULD PUT IN BOTH THE COLUMN AND THE SURROUND FOR THE FRENCH DOORS ON THE FRONT SIDE. I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT AS WELL. THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL. WHEN YOU MAKE A MOTION, WHOEVER MAKES A MOTION CAN INCLUDE ANY CONDITIONS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO INCLUDE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOU CANNOT ADD ADDITIONAL WORK. OKAY, OKAY. SO WE HAVE NO ONE ON ZOOM AND NO ONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHES TO SPEAK. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND COME BACK HERE TO THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION AND A VOTE BOARD. I THINK THAT THE CRITERIA FOR MEETING THE VARIANCES HAVE BEEN MET. SO I'M OKAY WITH THE VARIANCES. THANK YOU, MISS JEANETTE. MISS SHIELDS, YOU'RE GOOD. YES. I ALSO AGREE WITH THE COLUMN THOUGH. I MEAN. OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS EVERETT. AFTER THE ARCHITECTS ON THE BOARD SPOKE, I DO AGREE THAT MAYBE A CENTER COLUMN WOULD BE FINE, BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN AND YOU DID A VERY NICE JOB. AND ON MY RIGHT, MISS ALVAREZ, ANYTHING ELSE? ANYTHING FURTHER? NO. OKAY, MISS ROLANDO, ANYTHING FURTHER? MAY I ASK THAT YOU CLARIFY YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE SURROUND? OKAY, LET ME GET BACK INTO HERE. THESE THINGS POP OUT PRETTY QUICKLY.

IT'S ON PAGE TWO OF THE STAFF REPORT. THE ON PAGE TWO OF THE STAFF REPORT, IT SHOWS TO. AS YOU'RE FACING THE BUILDING ONTO THE LEFT FROM THE ENTRANCE IS A SET OF FRENCH DOORS. OKAY, THE FRENCH DOORS HAVE A JULIET TYPE BALCONY THAT APPEARS TO BE MADE OUT OF WOOD, AND THAT IT'S JUST THE RAILING THAT GOES AROUND THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, MY REQUEST WOULD BE THAT THAT WOULD BE RESTORED ON TOP OF, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER SURFACE IS THERE, YOU KNOW, PRESENTLY THAT WOULD BE MINE. AND I WOULD LIKE THAT INCORPORATED INTO ANY MOTION THAT THE BOARD WOULD MAKE, INCLUDING THE COLUMN. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. SILVA. ANYTHING FURTHER? JUST AGAIN TO CLARIFY, MR. MAXWELL, YOU'RE THE YOU'RE ASKING TO RESTORE THE BALCONY RAILING? YES. THIS THIS BALCONY RAILING RIGHT HERE. OKAY. YOU KNOW, IN A SHAPE THAT IS SIMILAR. OKAY.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WAS BUILT. IF THOSE WERE ROUND STYLES OR FLAT OR ANYTHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT WITH STAFF AT THE ON THE FRONT. YEAH. NO OTHER. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ANY OTHER, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT WE WOULD DISCUSS AT THIS TIME. AND

[00:35:05]

THE CURRENT BALCONY IS NOT BEING TOUCHED IN ANY WAY BY THE PROPOSAL. I BELIEVE THE REQUEST WAS TO REPLACE THE RAILING AT THE FRONT JULIET BALCONY. SO THE EXISTING WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED. NOT ORIGINAL. YEAH. TO TO SEE THAT THROUGH WHAT MR. MAXWELL SUGGESTED, YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE TO PROBABLY DEMO OUT. I BELIEVE IT'S A STEEL THING IS RECENTLY PERMITTED A FEW YEARS AGO. I'M SORRY. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME HEARING YOU. YEAH, WE WOULD JUST TO TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING ABOUT THE BALCONY SURROUNDS, WE WOULD NEED TO OBVIOUSLY DEMO OUT WHAT'S THERE CURRENTLY AND, YOU KNOW, RECONSTRUCT, WHICH I LIKE THE IDEA, BUT YOU KNOW, MORE MONEY MORE. YEAH. AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO THE WOOD CONSTRUCTION ALSO BECAUSE IN THE HISTORIC PHOTO THAT'S ALL DONE IN WOOD. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND IT'S IN WOOD, BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU CAN WORK THAT OUT WITH STAFF AND, AND THEY ARE MUCH MORE QUALIFIED, YOU KNOW, TO WORK WITH YOU AND HAVE THE TIME TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU AS WELL. SO WHETHER YOU MAKE IT OUT OF WOOD AND IT LOOKS LIKE, I MEAN WOOD OR METAL, YOU KNOW HOW YOU MAKE IT OUT OF THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT REALLY MATTERS THAT MUCH. I MEAN, I'M SAYING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE CARPENTERS. THEY'RE PROBABLY THE BEST THING RATHER THAN HAVING METAL WORKERS. SO I DON'T KNOW. IT'S UP TO YOU. SO WOULD THERE BE ANY CONCERN STRUCTURALLY BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVING WHAT'S CURRENTLY PERMITTED AND IN PLACE WITH THE BALCONY AT THE FRONT, THE BALCONY, I MEAN, AS LONG AS IT'S ALL DESIGNED BY A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND APPROVED BY THE CITY, IT WOULD BE FINE. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. ARE WE READY FOR A MOTION TEAM? THANKS. MISS ROLANDO. YES? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE WITH THE CONDITIONS NOTED ABOVE IN THE STAFF REPORT, TOGETHER WITH TWO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. ONE, THAT THE BALCONY TO ON THE TO THE LEFT, WHERE THE THERE ARE FRENCH DOORS THAT. THE BALCONY RAILING ON THE JULIET BALCONY BE. COMPARABLE TO THAT DEPICTED. REPLICATED. REPLICATED. TO.

WITH THAT THE BALCONY BE REPLACED, REPLICATE AND REPLICATED WITH THE BALCONY DEPICTED IN THE FIGURE TWO PHOTOGRAPH IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND SECONDLY, THAT A COLUMN MIDWAY BETWEEN THE. ON THE FRONT PORCH BE INSTALLED, BE RESTORED. RE IT'S NOT THERE. NO, IT'S NOT THERE. OKAY, OKAY. BE RESTORED TO THE ORIGINAL LOCATION AGAIN, DEPICTED ON FIGURE TWO OF THE STAFF. REPORT THAT SO THAT THE MOTION TO APPROVE. WITH THE CONDITIONS NOTED ABOVE. PLUS THESE TWO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. THE DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR THE ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS TO THE RESIDENTS AND SITE WORK ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1137 OBISPO, A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK, AND THAT WE APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE, A SPECIAL CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS, AGAIN WITH THE CONDITIONS NOTED ABOVE, PLUS THE TWO ADDITIONAL ONES. DO WE NEED TO SEPARATE OUT THE VARIANCES SO WE DON'T NEED TO ADDRESS THE VARIANCES NOW WE CAN IF YOU WOULD LIKE, BUT I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM, SINCE THIS IS A REQUIRING AN ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE APPLICANT IS ACCEPTING OF THOSE CONDITIONS REGARDING THE COLUMN AND THE FRONT BALCONY. I'M WARMING UP TO THE COLUMN, BUT I DON'T. I WOULD PREFER OBVIOUSLY NOT TO BE BOUND TO IT. AND SO, MR. ORLANDO, YOU CAN FINISH MAKING YOUR MOTION AND. BUT I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT THAT'S NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY. AND REQUIRING THAT ADDITIONAL WORK. WOULD YOU ALL BE AMENABLE TO THAT? I MEAN, IT WOULD MAKE YOUR HOME ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I'M SORRY IF WE CAN'T WE CAN'T HAVE CONVERSATION FROM THE AUDIENCE. IF HE WANTS TO COME UP, THAT'S FINE. BUT THE RECORD DOESN'T REFLECT UNLESS SOMEONE COMES AND SPEAKS ON A MICROPHONE. HI, I'M WARREN, WE'RE. OH. YES. ABSOLUTELY. HI. I'M PENELOPE'S HUSBAND, WARREN. I'M NOT GOOD

[00:40:03]

VISUALLY. I JUST LOVE TO SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WITH THE COLUMN. KGTV COULD YOU PLEASE PULL UP THE PRESENTATION? AND NATALIE, WOULD YOU SHOW HIM THE PICTURE OF THE FROM THE EARLY 20S, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? SORRY. THERE'S A HISTORIC PHOTO ON THE BOARD. I KNOW IT'S THE FIRST ONE. KEEP GOING. PRIOR TO THE PRESENTATION. ANOTHER ONE? THAT ONE. IS. YEAH, THE TWO ITEMS THAT THEY'RE DISCUSSING, PLEASE TALK INTO THE MICROPHONE. FOR THE RECORD. THE THE RAILING IN FRONT OF THE JULIET BALCONY AT THE FRONT TO THE LEFT SIDE, AND THEN THE COLUMN AT THE FRONT PORCH TO MATCH THE CONDITIONS IN THE HISTORIC PHOTO. YES, SIR.

HAPPY WIFE. HAPPY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE THE LINE DRAWING BETTER, BECAUSE NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND, WE ALREADY HAVE THAT BALCONY, RIGHT? BUT THE THING THEY WANT LIKE A WOOD.

AND WHAT IS THE OTHER THING? BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND. AND. YEAH, YEAH. LOOK OVER HERE. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OVER HERE IS EVEN BETTER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IS TOTALLY OPEN, RIGHT? YEAH. BUT THE ONLY, MY ONLY CONCERN IS NOW WE DON'T HAVE A DOOR THERE.

THAT'S JUST A WALL RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL, BUT THE ONE THAT WE HAVE THAT IS GOING TO BE A BEDROOM. SO IT'S JUST A WALL. OUR DOOR NOW IS IN THIS SIDE. YEAH. WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU. WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE COLUMN. YEAH, THAT'S AN OLD SCREEN DOOR.

WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO MOVE THE DOOR. ALL WE'RE, ALL WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER IS TO ADD THAT COLUMN BACK. YEAH. AND THE RAILING. BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE THE HOUSE SMALLER. IT'S NOT JUST. WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO PUT THE DOORS IN. YEAH. NO, NO, NO, I GET IT. YEAH. ONLY THE PART. BUT I'M SAYING THAT WHEN THE WAY THAT IS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE DOOR OVER HERE, IT LOOKS OPEN LIKE A BIGGER. NO. IF WE SEE THE OTHER ONE THE. WOULD YOU PULL UP THE NEXT PICTURE PLEASE. THERE YOU GO. YEAH. THAT ONE. THAT'S WHAT I SAID THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A DOOR THERE. AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT PART OPEN. IF WE WILL CLOSE IT, IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE SMALLER. YOU'RE NOT PLANNING ON ENCLOSING THAT DOOR. NO, NO, NO, JUST WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. AND WE'RE NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING IN FRONT ANYTHING. WELL, WE'RE AS WE'RE ASKING IF YOU WILL AGREE TO. YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I'M SAYING THAT IF WE PUT THAT THE HOUSE IS GOING TO LOOK SMALLER BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE A SOMETHING CLOSE IN THE MIDDLE.

NO, I'M WONDERING IF PERHAPS THE HOMEOWNERS COULD HAVE MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS AND DIGEST IT.

[00:50:05]

THE COMMUNITY. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA ONE. IT PORTRAYS THE ENVIRONMENT IN AN ERA OF HISTORY CHARACTERIZED BY ONE OR MORE DISTINCTIVE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND CRITERIA. TWO IT EMBODIES THOSE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OR PERIOD OR METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION. LISBON STREET IS A TREE LINED ROAD THAT RUNS BETWEEN EIGHTH STREET AND MILAN AVENUE. IN THE GRANADA SECTION. IT'S COMPRISED OF PRIMARILY OF SMALLER HOMES RANGING IN DATE FROM THE 1920S TO PRESENT DAY. THE PROPERTY, AT 1307 LISBON STREET IS ON A 50 FOOT BY 105 FOOT LOT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STREET, JUST SOUTH OF VENECIA AVENUE. ON THE LOT ARE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND A DETACHED GARAGE, BOTH BUILT IN 1925, THE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE FIRST ON THE STREET. IT HAS HAD NO ADDITIONS AND IT RETAINS ITS INTEGRITY AS A MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE HOME BUILT IN THE COTTAGE GENRE. GEORGE MERRICK FOUNDED CORAL GABLES IN THE EARLY 1920S, BASED ON HIS VISION FOR A FULLY CONCEIVED, MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED CITY. THE CITY DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE MAJOR HISTORICAL PERIODS. DURING THE INITIAL PERIOD, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SPECIFICALLY COMBINED ELEMENTS COMMONLY USED IN SPANISH AND ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE, AND HAS COME TO BE KNOWN AS THE MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE. DURING THE 1920S, STRUCTURES AND AMENITIES WERE BUILT ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN THIS STYLE. THE HOME AT 1307 LISBON STREET, BUILT DURING THE INITIAL PHASE, EXEMPLIFIES THE IDEALS ESPOUSED BY MERRICK AND HIS DESIGN TEAM. CORAL GABLES WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AS A SUBURB OF MIAMI AND ATTRACTED INVESTORS FROM ACROSS THE NATION. DURING THE SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE BOOM OF THE 1920S, MERRICK DREW FROM THE GARDEN, CITY AND CITY BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENTS OF THE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY TO CREATE HIS VISION FOR HIS MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED CITY, WHICH IS NOW CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FIRST MODERN PLANNED COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FRANK BUTTON DREW THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE MAPS OF CORAL GABLES IN 1921 AND 22, ONE OF WHICH IS ON THE LEFT OF THE SLIDE. THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN CORAL GABLES WAS CONCENTRATED IN SECTIONS A THROUGH E, WHICH WERE LOCATED NEAR MERRICK'S PLANTATION.

THROUGHOUT 1922 AND 23, MERRICK CONTINUED TO EXPAND HIS HOLDINGS. HE WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN EXPANDING NORTH TO THE TAMIAMI TRAIL. IT'S IN THE AREA OUTLINED IN BLUE ON THESE MAPS. OVER THE NEXT YEAR, HE ACQUIRED LARGE PORTIONS OF THE LAND IN THIS AREA, AND HE RENAMED IT THE GRANADA SECTION. IN NOVEMBER 1923, MERRICK LAUNCHED THE GRANADA SECTION AND PUBLISHED COPIOUSLY ABOUT HIS INTENTION FOR THE AREA. IN THE GRANADA SECTION, MERRICK BEGAN TO DEVELOP STREETSCAPES FOLLOWING GARDEN CITY PRECEPTS WHICH ACCOMMODATED HOUSING FOR A VARIETY OF INCOMES, AND HE INVESTED HEAVILY IN THIS AREA TOWARDS THAT END. UNLIKE EARLIER SECTIONS, IT WAS PLATTED, WITH LARGE AREAS ALLOCATED FOR SMALLER, MODERATELY PRICED HOMES, AND HE COMMISSIONED ARCHITECTS ON HIS DESIGN TEAM TO BUILD A SERIES OF ONE STORY, FIVE ROOM HOUSES TO DEMONSTRATE HIS VISION FOR MODERATELY PRICED HOMES, WHICH WOULD HAVE THE SAME QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION AND ESTHETICS AS THE LARGER HOMES AS SEEN HERE.

LISBON STREET, IN PARTICULAR, WAS LAID OUT TO ACCOMMODATE THESE SMALLER HOMES. WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS THE CORAL GABLES COTTAGE STARTED WITH MERRICK'S COMMISSIONS IN THE GRANADA SECTION TO DESIGN FINELY DETAILED, MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HOMES ON THESE SMALLER LOTS. THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE CITY'S EARLY HISTORY AND WERE A SOURCE OF GREAT PRIDE FOR MERRICK. 1307 LISBON STREET WAS DESIGNED IN THE COTTAGE GENRE. IN AUGUST 1925, SHELDON, SHEDDING A MIAMI REAL ESTATE INVESTOR, FILED PERMIT 1287 FOR AN $8,000 HOME AT 1307 LISBON STREET. THE DRAWINGS ARE NOT SIGNED, AND DOCUMENTATION IDENTIFYING THE ARCHITECT HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED TO DATE. SIDNEY AND HELEN HULL PURCHASED THE HOME FROM SHEDDING AND ITS FIRST OWNER OCCUPANTS, SIDNEY HULL, WAS RECRUITED BY MERRICK AND UM'S FIRST PRESIDENT, BOWMAN FISHER ASH, FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH TO BE THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI'S FIRST REGISTRAR AND A FOUNDING ECONOMICS PROFESSOR. THE HOLES OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR 30 YEARS. CONSTRUCTED IN 19251307, LISBON STREET IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY HOME BUILT

[00:55:08]

IN THE COTTAGE GENRE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE. LISTED HERE AND DISCUSSED IN THE DESIGNATION REPORT ARE SOME OF THE CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES OF THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME. MOST NOTABLY ARE THE TEXTURED STUCCO, THE PITCHED ROOFS WITH BARREL TILE, THE PORTE COCHERE, THE PREDOMINANT MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED CHIMNEY, THE ARCHES ON THE FRONT FACADE, MOST NOTABLY THE FRONT DOORWAY AND THE ROUND VENTS ARRANGED AS DECORATIVE ACCENTS ABOVE THE RECESSED CASEMENT WINDOWS WITH ITS PROTRUDING SILLS. THE HOUSE WAS DESIGNED AS A TWO BEDROOM, ONE BATH HOME WITH A SCREENED FRONT PORCH, A REAR SCREENED SLEEPING PORCH AND A SMALL BACK PORCH. THE PORCHES WERE ALL ENCLOSED WITH WINDOWS FOR ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE AT UNKNOWN DATES. THERE ARE NO ADDITIONS TO THE HOME, AND THE EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS ARE MINIMAL. THIS ONE STORY RESIDENCE SITS ABOVE A CRAWL SPACE AND IS BUILT OF CEMENT BLOCK UNITS COVERED WITH TEXTURED STUCCO. IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE MANNER. THE HOME IS DESIGNED WITH PROJECTING AND RECESSED BAYS UNDER A VARIETY OF FLAT AND PITCHED ROOFS, WHICH ARE ORIGINALLY CLAD IN TWO PIECE BARREL TILE. THE CURRENT STYLE WAS INSTALLED IN 2003. MUCH OF THE LIVING SPACE IS UNDER THE FLAT ROOFED AREA BEHIND THE FRONT BAYS. SIMPLE PARAPETS RING THIS ROOFLINE. THE ORIGINAL DIVIDED LIGHT WOODEN CASEMENT WINDOWS WITH HIGH PROFILE ONES WERE SET IN RECESSED OPENINGS, WITH PROTRUDING SILLS BELOW. THE ORIGINAL CASEMENTS WERE REPLACED WITH AWNING WINDOWS IN 1971, AND THE CURRENT IMPACT WINDOWS WERE INSTALLED IN 2008. ABOVE, MOST WINDOWS ARE DECORATIVELY ARRANGED ROUND VENTS. THE STREET FACING FRONT FACADE IS COMPRISED OF THREE RECEDING AND PROTRUDING BAYS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THERE ARE THE ORIGINAL FRONT SCREENED PORCH BAY, THE CENTRAL LIVING SPACE AND ENTRY BAY, AND THE PORTE COCHERE BAY. THE BAYS ARE UNDER PITCHED ROOFS OF VARYING HEIGHTS AND CLAD IN BARREL TILE. AT THE CENTRAL JUNCTION OF THE LIVING SPACE IN THE PORTE COCHERE BAY IS ONE OF THE HALLMARK FEATURES OF THE HOME.

A MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED, ROUND TOPPED CHIMNEY RISES THROUGH THE GABLE APEX OF THE PORTE COCHERE ROOF AND CUTS INTO THE HIGHER GABLE APEX OF THE LIVING SPACE BAY. THE CENTRAL BAY OF THE STREET FACING FACADE IS UNDER A CROSS GABLED ROOF AND FRONTS THE HOME'S LIVING SPACE.

NEAR ITS CENTER IS A GROUPING OF FOUR CASEMENT WINDOWS UNDER A SINGLE PROTRUDING SILL. AT THE SOUTHERN END, ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PORCH, IS THE MAIN ENTRY TO THE HOME. THE ORIGINAL STEP, INSOMNIA, LEADS TO THE ROUND, ARCHED ENTRY. MASONRY ARCHES ARE ANOTHER CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE. THE CURVED WOOD PLANK DOOR WITH THREE NARROW RECTANGULAR WINDOWS ARRANGED TO EMPHASIZE THE ROUND ARCH APPEARS ORIGINAL TO THE HOME. ANCHORING THE FRONT FACADE OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IS THE PROTRUDING BAY THAT WAS ORIGINALLY THE SCREENED FRONT PORCH. SCREENED PORCHES WERE USED EXTENSIVELY IN THE 1920S MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED HOMES TO CAPITALIZE ON THE HOSPITABLE CLIMATE, AND OUR HALLMARK FEATURE. UNDER A SIDE SLOPING SHED ROOF, THE LARGE SCREENED OPENINGS SIT ON PROTRUDING SILLS, AS SEEN IN THE 1940S HISTORIC PHOTO. THE UPPER CORNERS OF THE OPENINGS WERE ORIGINALLY ROUNDED TO FORM A PSEUDO THREE CENTERED ARCH. THEY WERE ENCLOSED WITH GALAXIES AT AN UNKNOWN DATE, AND THE CORNERS WERE SQUARED OFF. ALSO AT THIS TIME, THE OPENING ON THE WEST SIDE WAS REDUCED BY HALF. THE ORIGINAL PROTRUDING STILL IS EXTANT, AND HENCE THE FULL ORIGINAL WIDTH IS OBVIOUS. WITH THE INSTALLATION OF HURRICANE IMPACT WINDOWS IN 2008, THE BAYS OPENINGS WERE REDUCED TO STANDARD WINDOW SIZES. THE REDUCTION WAS SLIGHT AND IS EASILY DISCERNIBLE. AT THE NORTH END OF THE FRONT FACADE IS THE PORTE COCHERE. IT IS ALSO A HALLMARK FEATURE OF THE HOME. THE PORTE COCHERE.

VEHICULAR OPENINGS, LIKE THE ORIGINAL FRONT PORCH, HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS IN A PSEUDO THREE CENTERED ARCH. THE SIDE ARCHES SIT ON PROTRUDING SILLS AND ARE ROUNDED LIKE THE FRONT ENTRY. UNDER THE PORTE COCHERE. THE SHOULDERED CHIMNEY STACK RISES ON THE HOME'S NORTH FACADE. SIDE AND REAR FACADES REMAIN INTACT AND EXHIBIT THE TYPICAL FENESTRATION ARRANGEMENT AND DETAILING OF CORAL GABLES HOMES. IN THE 1920S, WHEN THE ORIGINAL CASEMENT WINDOWS WERE REPLACED. THE NEW MUTTON PATTERN IS NOT TOTALLY FAITHFUL TO THE

[01:00:04]

ORIGINAL, BUT THE OVERALL IMPRESSION OF THE FENESTRATION IS IN KEEPING WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGN INTENT. SOME REDUCTIONS OR INFILLS OF OPENINGS OCCURRED ON BOTH SIDE FACADES TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE HOUSE. ON THE NORTH FACADE, THE DOORWAY LEADING TO THE BACK PORCH WAS INFILLED AT AN UNKNOWN DATE, MOST LIKELY WITH THE KITCHEN UPDATE. DURING THE MID 1990S, THE SMOOTHER STUCCO INFILL EASILY IDENTIFIES THE FORMER LOCATION OF THE DOOR. THE BATHROOM WINDOW AT THE END OF THE FACADE WAS REDUCED TWICE DURING EACH WINDOW INSTALLATION CAMPAIGN. IN THE 1971 AND 2008, THE ORIGINAL SILL WAS RETAINED IN THE FORMER CAMPAIGN, BUT THEN REMOVED IN THE LATTER. THE PROTRUDING BAY AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER WAS ORIGINALLY A SCREENED SLEEPING PORCH. THE 1957 SALES AD LISTS THIS SPACE AS A DEN, AND THUS BY THIS TIME IT HAD BEEN ENCLOSED FOR LIVING SPACE. SEVERAL OF THE OPENINGS HAVE BEEN REDUCED OVER TIME.

PERMITS FOR THIS WORK HAVE NOT BEEN LOCATED TO DATE. THE 2005 PERMIT SHOWN HERE PORTRAYS THE EXTANT HURRICANE SHUTTERS EXTENDING OVER THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE ORIGINAL OPENINGS.

ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL SILLS WERE TRUNCATED WHEN THE OPENINGS WERE REDUCED, THE ORIGINAL PLACEMENT AND SIZE OF THE OPENINGS IS EASILY DISCERNIBLE BY THE CHANGE OF STUCCO TEXTURE OVER THE INFILLED SPACES. AS DISCUSSED, MERRICK WAS FORWARD THINKING, AND CORAL GABLES IS NOW CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FIRST MODERN PLANNED COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. HE DESIGNED CORAL GABLES WITH THE AUTOMOBILE IN MIND. HENCE, MOST HOMES BUILT DURING THE CITY'S INITIAL DEVELOPMENTAL PHASE HAD BOTH A PORTE COCHERE AND A DETACHED GARAGE. PROPORTIONED TO THE 1920S AUTOMOBILES, THE DETACHED GARAGE AT 1307 LISBON STREET IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE LOT. IT IS ACCESSED FROM THE STREET BY TIRE TRACK DRIVEWAY THAT PASSES THROUGH THE PORTE COCHERE. THE EXTANT SINGLE CAR GARAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 18FT BY 12FT. THE 1920S GARAGES WERE DESIGNED TO BLEND WITH THE MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE HOMES. THE GARAGE IS CLAD IN STUCCO, WHOSE TEXTURE MATCHES THAT OF THE HOME, AND IT IS UNDER A FLAT ROOF WITH SIMPLE PARAPETS. ALSO LIKE THE HOUSE IN THE 1980S HISTORIC PHOTO, A CARRIAGE DOOR IS VISIBLE THROUGH THE PORTE COCHERE. IN THE 1920S, CARRIAGE DOORS WERE COMMONLY USED FOR VEHICULAR ENTRY. THIS DOOR WAS LIKELY ORIGINAL AND IT WAS REPLACED BY THE CURRENT DOOR IN 2003. WHILE THE 1920S DETACHED GARAGES ARE OFTEN SIMPLE, THEIR LOCATION AND DESIGN PLAY A ROLE IN DEMONSTRATING MERRICK'S VISION. THEY ARE ALSO CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES OF THE CORAL GABLES COTTAGES. THIS GARAGE IS LARGELY UNALTERED AND REMAINS A DEFINING FEATURE OF THE 1920S PROPERTY. IN CONCLUSION, DESIGNED IN 1925, THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT 1307 LISBON STREET IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST HOMES IN CORAL GABLES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GARDEN CITY PRECEPTS THAT GUIDED MERRICK'S DEVELOPMENT OF CORAL GABLES. IN THE NEW GRANADA SECTION, HE INTENTIONALLY PLATTED SMALLER LOTS ON SOME STREETS FOR MODEST HOMES BUILT WITH THE SAME HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE FEATURES AS OTHER STRUCTURES THAT SHAPE THE NEW CITY. IN THE EARLY 1920S, LISBON STREET WAS ONE OF THOSE STREETS, AND ITS HOUSES ARE AMONGST THE EARLIEST OF WHAT ARE NOW KNOWN AS THE CORAL GABLES COTTAGES. THE PROPERTY, AT 1307 LISBON STREET, RETAINS ITS HISTORIC INTEGRITY AND SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTES TO THE HISTORIC FABRIC OF THE CITY OF CORAL GABLES, AND IS PART OF A COLLECTION OF QUALITY BUILDINGS THAT SERVES AS A VISIBLE REMINDER OF THE HISTORY AND THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE CITY. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL HISTORIC DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY AT 1307 LISBON STREET, BASED ON ITS HISTORICAL, CULTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE. I DO WANT TO STATE THAT WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CORELLIA CARBONELL ON BEHALF OF THE HPACG IN SUPPORT OF THE DESIGNATION, AND THAT WAS IT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BOARD COMMENTS. OKAY. IS A QUICK COMMENT. JUST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT REPORT. AS ALWAYS, THE THE OCCUPANTS HISTORY WAS WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING ON THIS ONE. THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION, I GUESS MORE THAN IS READILY AVAILABLE. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING READING FOR ANYONE OUT THERE WHO'S INTERESTED IN READING

AND THANKS FOR ADDING THAT INFORMATION. IT REALLY MAKES THE PROPERTIES COME ALIVE. ELIZABETH DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB AT THAT RESEARCH, SO I'M GIVING HER FULL CREDIT FOR ALL OF THOSE COMMENTS.
