PB 9/14

This case was continued from the meetings of September 3 and November 5, 1999.

The applicant is appealing a June 16, 1999 administrative decision made by the Planning and Zoning Director. The administrative decision states that a lawsuit filed by the adjoining property, The Sterling House Condominium Inc., does not trigger the stay provisions of the Miami Beach Code Section 118-263(a) and therefore the time frames prescribed by the respective orders of the Design Review Board and Board of Adjustment, for a full building permit, still apply. The applicant contends that the filing of a lawsuit, by the adjoining property, is sufficient to trigger the stay provisions of the Miami Beach City Code.

CONTINUED TO THE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 4, 2000
