The proposal would retain roughly 25% of the existing 1952 single‑story façade facing Fourth Street and construct a contiguous four‑story addition behind it containing nine residential units with a rooftop amenity deck. The applicant also requested a variance to reduce the required 10‑foot rear setback to five feet. Staff supported the general approach, noting the lot is undersized under current code (the property has roughly 5,000 square feet where 6,000 is now typical) and that pushing mass away from the historic façade led staff to recommend the requested setback relief. Staff recommended the board require the applicant to address the new building’s strong vertical articulation, lighten the proposed cladding color to harmonize with the existing stone, and break up a large expanse on the north elevation.

Board members and public commenters raised concerns that retaining a small front fragment while building an imposing volume behind it could fail to protect the district’s character. The Miami Design Preservation League urged a green‑wall buffer above the preserved portion, and staff recommended the applicant remove or reduce the dark vertical aluminum cladding. After discussion the board voted to continue the item to the June 13 meeting so the applicant could return with revised materials and elevation studies.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Historic Preservation Board Meeting April 11 2023","oneSentenceSummary","The board continued a proposal to substantially renovate and add a four‑story addition at 829 Fourth Street, asking the applicant to return June 13 with revisions to cladding, massing and the north elevation.","taxTitle","Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2893,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117612,"Board approves proposed new Miami Beach public library and county health clinic at 633 Alton Road",1984,6665000,8649000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d&start=6665&end=8649","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d/thumbnail_6665000.jpg","/articles/6117612/Miami-Beach/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Board-approves-proposed-new-Miami-Beach-public-library-and-county-health-clinic-at-633-Alton-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117612-088d575b9633bb05b7e14637004f189e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158679&Signature=c6DuAClV2ZT5iHBbaH0H4IH4gHkUgurS2Fpf4oT4O9zikVdW0TzW7X~izK0YgOdbUlsIlGDx~zd84b4x7yXCeW4v2RhKPOBVOzaO7EqC7JIU1VzDz8FI7uPxbClF8P5MYGfIVirGgBwpm-DNE07q3ej9oXWnTky6H~3n0CzQoiTx5xib70PiJjC5N3SpiFAGP72gopTrpSf3iBbSUpRWYgGFONU7sQhdi6q7bX0rLirmeIpeIxSoVrMIFAaN06WmIdRfPP3nQDaRblm9SurK3H8XUjCzqi-OXntneTbCvt25ljFAKmIpN6vROflKMP0Pm98KB2mmSBrQByapwmT1LA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Board voted to approve a proposal to build a new two‑story public library and a Miami‑Dade community health clinic at 633 Alton Road, a site in the Flamingo Park Historic District buffer overlay, during the April 11 meeting.

Staff described the proposal as a 26-foot-5-inch, two‑story building with the library on the ground floor and the clinic split between ground and second floors. The design staggers the streetwall to improve sidewalk width and adds live oak trees in the Alton Road right‑of‑way to create shade and a pedestrian‑friendly frontage. Staff noted the proposed height is well below the 50‑foot allowance and supported the limited setback relief requested in the overlay.

The applicant team said the county requires the clinic and that the project will replace the county’s aging clinic elsewhere on Alton Road; the county will own the clinic component. Project representatives described coordination with the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association and said the proposal received community support. Board members asked about parking, bicycle parking, floodproofing and the development agreement structure used to fund the project; applicants said the site will provide eight parking spaces on site, bicycle racks, and meet floodproofing and county requirements.

After public testimony in support from the Miami Design Preservation League and neighbors, the board approved the application per staff recommendations.","The Historic Preservation Board approved a two‑story building at 633 Alton Road to house a public library and a Miami‑Dade community health clinic; staff supported the design, tree relocation into the right of way, and minor setback modifications to improve the pedestrian environment.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117616,"Board clears redesign of 4041 Collins for Andaz hotel project, staff asked to refine interior finishes and site orientation of relocated 1930s house",2804,3850000,6654000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d&start=3850&end=6654","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d/thumbnail_3850000.jpg","/articles/6117616/Miami-Beach/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Board-clears-redesign-of-4041-Collins-for-Andaz-hotel-project-staff-asked-to-refine-interior-finishes-and-site-orientation-of-relocated-1930s-house","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117616-b216fd8237fecba4374145617abbe8cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158679&Signature=ItHjXUPmxIsXZjJxoTJZPMHcDnjQHW~hOwp1mzT8kP45sli4RD8GqRtwj6IDKnGaBW3x-FVPwhxE-oZTTiAWg6A4aafzZ1fuHTF3U6f3wJUEpRFHRNSO~M11DKE9UkUf7tcVBUvJ3nyWm2wZWgWBX6wpgVaBE3Hh0ijjXFb~8M~wyM0gLD9JWnknjPFVERvbbg4Yae47ApwD4tOT9qaFfn-eaRYIukymfWmSHMgHVbprgvLU8Kq9l3RMZK6kl7VpZbBFWSkuAqgZebwwy8gvbqUHedapKADB49PARCk6kZeboPGXVDIdQq~ds1K8Aws6I~GQuzgtaccXXTYyqr-ugw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Board approved a comprehensive renovation and site plan for 4041 Collins Avenue — the former Lord Tarleton/Crown Hotel property — at the April 11 meeting, including alterations to public interiors, a redesigned rear yard and the relocation and reorientation of a 1930s single‑family house on the site.

City staff told the board the project team proposes to reestablish an upper‑level lobby and lounge, improve visibility between the hotel and the beach walk, and move the earlier relocated 1930s house to the south side of the property and rotate it so its principal façade faces the beach walk. Staff recommended the rotation to improve public appreciation and asked the applicant to further develop certain interior ceiling treatments and the north elevation’s material articulation.

Owner representatives and the design team said the scheme reopens previously enclosed circulation and creates a layered terrace stepping down to upper and lower pools; the relocated 1930s house will be rotated 180 degrees so its front faces the beach walk. The fire department and building‑permit requirements led to some design iterations; staff and the applicants reported multiple coordination meetings.

Representatives from the Miami Design Preservation League and adjacent property owners testified in support. After board review and a presentation by the project team (architecture and landscape), the board voted to approve the proposals and directed staff and the applicant to finalize interior finish details and the siting/orientation plans per staff recommendations.","The Historic Preservation Board voted to approve a major renovation and site redesign at 4041 Collins Avenue, clearing plans to reposition the historic 1930s house, restore and reopen key public interiors, and develop a new rear yard landscape; staff recommended rotating the relocated house to face the beach walk for better public appreciation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117621,"Board approves interior changes at Bancroft Hotel lobby, including bar and fire‑rated stair enclosure",1383,2449000,3832000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d&start=2449&end=3832","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d/thumbnail_2449000.jpg","/articles/6117621/Miami-Beach/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Board-approves-interior-changes-at-Bancroft-Hotel-lobby-including-bar-and-firerated-stair-enclosure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117621-0f785a634986513721b25b10bc110020/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158679&Signature=LD0bJnzDNjaWrzgM6DpnmGhssjJCulxelU4HuACJ0ZTIRnJKVa9UpadivA0gHah7wn~dR4UWT0mV~JjYc7H63STATQGrXAWKiafGJwLyMzYMJ0xvT6yprbvD1ogqghRqFJy5yjUlhriqOradRK88ZIUhCO76vjuJwUYFMVgM-ceFCAhb4jpLwvyNGdZM0OjAlW-e5DOX9DS4nPE2RxA5ReRimwZR7m1L-y4I~BdqQveCXoYkfEFsRRngcDsul8n3n~4EA8XA5M3Z~4gvZpk~omgi7o7mtOV2TsgxVjW28KjRsimZunO3q27EDU8Rvs77CE1VAcxb5gWF9VPCMgNxlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Board voted to approve modifications to the previously issued certificate of appropriateness for the Bancroft Hotel lobby at 1501 Collins Avenue, including a re‑configured bar and a new fire‑rated partition around an interior stair, during the April 11 meeting.

Staff and the applicant presented revised designs that keep the lobby’s intact terrazzo compass‑rose visible. The applicant said the bar will sit on an elevated, removable platform so plumbing and other utilities can be run through the ceiling and the terrazzo will not be penetrated. The Miami Design Preservation League and multiple neighbors spoke in support at the public hearing.

Life‑safety concerns raised during building‑permit review prompted the applicant to propose a transparent fire‑rated wall around a stair that opens to the lobby. Fire and code officials recommended a fixed separation because the proposed repurposed building and proposed occupancy levels triggered stricter separation requirements. The board and staff discussed two fire‑rated glazing options; staff recommended the option that repeats the exterior window grid inside the lobby, and also recommended replacing a proposed single door with a double door aligned with the Collins Avenue entrance to improve circulation.

Board members asked about finish details, and the applicant agreed to remove a previously proposed walnut treatment for the wall and accept staff’s recommended glazing option and double door. With those conditions, the board approved the modification request by roll call.","The Historic Preservation Board approved changes to the Bancroft Hotel (1501 Collins Ave.) lobby that preserve the terrazzo compass-rose while permitting a floating bar platform and a fire‑rated glass partition; staff recommended the transparent enclosure and a double door aligned with the Collins Avenue entrance.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117626,"Historic-preservation board approves rear addition at 1745 Lenox Ave., grants variances",2069,324000,2393000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d&start=324&end=2393","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2729520-f41f9a3e6e6c247cb0774b2f1090906d/thumbnail_324000.jpg","/articles/6117626/Miami-Beach/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Historic-preservation-board-approves-rear-addition-at-1745-Lenox-Ave-grants-variances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117626-fcb3103261e830c212270af14e260ec7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158679&Signature=F9ZzSO~hTVLhl1lO7vm4ZJ0LmXNrQO-OiQ4xCNYnVSi9oFQ0f~Ks46AF4y~6FjybF8YT9EzEiKofzg1KgewU0aO9cdoXlJiZmP5sNOir~rtgNc9Kd5glSU3vhydlSnISUTrxWQWOiNP78aTl0HkoEwVtQRHCjbwMJqmqB0kRojlWXaxPTtN5lNMkxgc~1c-Wo0~rLH8oq7XVni0m9KgtXhGHoeTNSp2TPh213iQ8yR0Eqd6LpL5RB-hEdNaUmqGdjst7d3I66aUcSmbmyZwzDRG0mAuCQZzXqO5MqezU0s~2Fy~zP2yLhy-33JDjotZM7KgrvOvJxCDQ4B8TnkWayA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board voted to approve a certificate of appropriateness and to grant variances for a rear addition and related work at 1745 Lenox Avenue during its April 11 meeting at City Hall.

The owners, Dr. and Mrs. Roth, and their representatives told the board the house — a 1951, Don Reef–designed post‑war modern contributing structure in the Palm View Historic District — will retain its historic street façade while adding a modest rear addition to provide modern living space. Attorney Adele Valencia of LSN Law and architect drawings in the packet described a 1,304-square-foot rear addition and design steps to avoid altering the home’s character.

Staff recommended approval, saying the addition is modest and not visible from Lenox Avenue, and that site conditions and the house’s irregular placement on the lot justify variances. The application sought: a reduction in the south interior side setback by 2 feet 11 inches (from 7 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 7 inches); an extension of a nonconforming interior side setback by 21 feet 7 inches (for a total linear extension of 41 feet 7 inches); and an increase in maximum lot coverage from 30% to 36.4% (a 6.4-point increase).

Board members asked whether the request for additional lot coverage was truly necessary, and whether neighbors had been contacted. Applicants said they had conducted outreach and had neighbor support; Miami Design Preservation League testified in favor of the application. Staff explained the owners face more restrictive expansion rights because the property is inside a local historic district and noted the house’s partly two‑story character (a small second‑floor area) reduces the lot‑coverage allowed under current rules, producing a practical difficulty for keeping the historic home while adding living area.

After public comment and board discussion, the board approved the certificate of appropriateness 6–0 (Ehrlich: yes; Stewart: yes; Reid: yes; Breslin: yes; Lovell: yes; Lopez: yes). The variances passed on a 5–1 vote (Ehrlich: yes; Stewart: yes; Reid: no; Breslin: yes; Lovell: yes; Lopez: yes).

The board’s approval includes the conditions and recommendations in staff’s draft order, and the record includes the applicant’s written justification addressing the city code variance criteria.","The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board approved a certificate of appropriateness and granted three variances for a rear addition at the contributing single-family home at 1745 Lenox Avenue, deciding 6–0 on the certificate and 5–1 on the variances after discussion about lot coverage and setback impacts.","actionData","errors"]
