Miami preservation board takes up Brickell church designation, tree permit appeals Tuesday

MIAMI - The City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board meets Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 3 p.m. at City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, according to its posted agenda.

The board is set to consider an amendment to the historic designation report for First Presbyterian Church at about 609 Brickell Ave., requested on the church's behalf. The city's Preservation Office recommended approval with conditions.

Three appeals of intended decisions issued by city staff are on the agenda, for properties at about 25 SE 10th St., 221 NE 36th St. and 3201 Day Ave. The supporting documents include certified arborist reports, and the Environmental Resources Office recommended denying each appeal. The agenda marks the 25 SE 10th St. appeal as one that may be withdrawn and lists a withdrawal email from the appellant.

The board will also review a request to enclose a garage and add windows and doors at a contributing house at 7650 NE 5th Ave. in the Palm Grove Historic District; a new addition, pool deck and patio at 747 NE 72nd St. in the Bayside Historic District; and a recommendation to the zoning board on continued multifamily use of a building at 175 NE 45th St. in the Buena Vista Historic District. Staff recommended approval of all three, the first two with conditions.
