Deputy Clerk, please read into the record. >> First reading of proposed ordinance granting variances to allow one, north side setback of zero feet where five feet one inch is required. And two, zero feet landscape buffer facing East 47th Street where a minimum of seven feet landscape buffer is required. In contrast to Hialeah Code of Ordinances section 98-1372 98-1706 and the Hialeah Landscape Manual updated July 2025 section D for the property located at 4698 East 10th Lane, Hialeah Zone M1 Industrial District.

So, for the record, just name and address then so you can answer. >> Hernandez Moya, 13031 Northwest 5th Street, Plantation 33325. Thank you so much. You've got the floor. Thank you. So, um on this property, I just want to make sure cuz one of the um variances says zero feet landscape but then un- under the conditions it says they must revise it to a minimum of seven feet landscape. Are we >> Sorry, Ms. de la Vega. Can you tell me is it in number two? Yes. So, I just want to know are are we approving this with landscape? I would think It's with seven feet landscape buffer on the front. Claudia has one planning and zoning official. So, basically the setback is to one side, but they're providing landscaping on the other side. So, to the south is with landscaping is to the east that they're not providing any setback because there is an existing wall that it will remain in the property. Okay, cuz there's a wall. And what's on the other side of the wall? Just curious. Um so, that wall is one of the four walls of the building. Okay. So, that wall is one of the four walls of the building. That wall faces East 47th Street. Um there is a sidewalk? >> Is there a sidewalk? There's not a sidewalk. So, if you look at number uh C where it says the swale area, so essentially it's a swale that people from the area use as parking. Um I know one of the concerns from the zoning was not to use that as parking and that's why where that building is, it's essentially two properties. One's vacant. Um one's that like it's just land. Um the other one is where the building is. So, we're doing seven parkings there instead of three that's required to make sure there's enough parking for anyone that were to come. >> And there'll be will we put a sign or something that says no parking on the swale? I believe there is, yes. Okay, perfect. Thank you. If I may through the chair. Are you done? >> Yes, I am. Um did this Did this property get like any fines for like the boats and the RVs and everything that's parked there? Is there some Yes, there are building violations and there code violations as well for this property. Okay. Because it was registered as an unsafe structure and then there were additional code violations as well. And is that something that they've already brought up to to code? Um they they are under a code. No, the the the objects that are on the property. Do you know if that's been removed? If any of the debris It's still the case is still open because it is an unsafe structure. So there by doing this they're going to be curing those violations. Okay. Is is it is the property rented? Um as far as just cuz making sure if some concerns cuz you said boats and I just want to make sure you're looking at a picture of our property because I don't think there's >> 4698 East 9th Court? East No, it's East 10th. East 10th Court. >> That's I know there's no boats. Um and it's it's essentially a warehouse that's for storage. Um my parents down the street have a junkyard. Um and so there they keep some of the parts and that's where some of the storage um is taking place. If you're looking at an old Google picture, you might see >> Estilo Aluminio? Is it that? No. Is this where you live? If you would If you'd like I could go around. >> 4698 East 10th Court, right? No, it's East 10th Ave Lane. Every time I call for this >> know there's no boats there, so that's why I was Um but if there are any pictures if maybe you're looking at a Google picture, maybe an older picture in order to get into compliance. Um we have taken all the cars out and are just currently through the building process and now doing this in order to get in compliance. Everything's been removed. This is the wall of the turn. But what's all of this? They go to storing but they were storing vehicles in And all of this? No, no, that is not a public It's up to this line. So all of this can't And here they can't park either. No. There's like there's like vehicles there like are crashed here. Yes. Mhm. So what is this property being used for? Like it's what's the business? It's a storage. So down the street on starting on East 10th Court through East 10th Lane where the bridge is from like Hialeah to Northwest, um my parents have a junkyard there. So this is one of the separate bays that they have that they store um doors, bumpers, and just other parts that that's what's used as storage. Sometimes they had on the other side as well cuz this was open they had cars, but that has been taken out um because we are through code enforcement and through building trying to do everything, those cars have been removed because we're and we're trying to get into compliance, but in order to finish the building we need this zoning aspect to get the variance. All right, perfect. Thank you. No further questions I don't know. Any other questions for the applicant? Otherwise, pleasure of the council on 8D. Motion to approve. Second.

She could just translate for whatever All right. Is it Thank you. You're welcome. And and Oh, give me Tell me your name again. My name is Anali. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead and and >> Analee Figueiredo. Analee Okay. Analee Figueiredo Okay. And you you live there at 70 No, at the 2400? No, that's that's a business. Okay. Oh, this is a business. Excellent. Does anybody have any questions for the applicant for Claudia on nine on 8F? Through the chair. Yes, ma'am. Um I just wanted to know is is what business is going here? Uh an adult daycare. An adult daycare. Okay. And so looking at it now, I see that there is 10 parking spaces right now. What What are you eliminating? How how cuz I see there's only going to be six parking spaces. I think eight. Do you have four on this side, four on the other side, and then two in front of the doors? I think that's just a Yeah, kind of Um and then the other question was I thought we did not permit back like back out parking. Um and then the other question is the landscape buffer. I wanted to address those three. Okay, I'm sorry. What was the What was the first issue? I'm sorry. The first question was the parking spaces. Okay. So they're a They're eliminating because they are leaving only one parking space to back out into the street. So the other five parking spaces are basically doing the right movement. So that's why it's the request is to include a variance for that one parking space backing out into the street. But by doing that, they're reducing to six parking spaces instead of the 10. Why Why do they need a back out parking space? Just looking at what I see now, what Why do you need a back >> Because because if not, they will be eliminated even one more parking space. So instead of having six, they will have five. If we if we don't allow them to back out that parking spaces, they will lose it. Is a back out Sorry, is a back out parking space a different Yes, it's a different layout. Can I Can I show you this? I guess cuz one of the parking space is taken up by the dumpster. That's what I'm Yeah. Yep, I see that. What's here? Oh, parallel. Sorry, guys. Sorry, it's not Sorry, my question I was just looking it up on Google Earth and there's four parking spaces. So I guess they're removing those four to make one parking. I guess that's why I didn't understand why. Right. So instead of having four parking spaces backing out into the street, now they're going to have only one parking space backing out and the other ones are going to be arranged so they can back out in a correct way facing the street whenever that they're coming out of the property. Okay. And the buffer basically since they're adding those parking spaces, there is not a space for the landscaping buffer. So they will eliminate Well, they don't have it. So they will use it at >> this way cuz right cuz we know there's trees and grass there. Not in this property. Not Not in this property. No. That's the other property next door. Yeah, not in this property. Right front? So they have no buffer right now. No. Okay, so it is what it is. That is what they have now. Okay, that's fine. And the other question was just Yep, that's it. Those were my questions. But there's no grass. So there'll be no grass, right? Is what she said? They have no grass right now. They have nothing. And now that is the other variance. Basically, it's a it's a zero previous area where 10 is a minimum required. So there is nothing right now, but they never granted a variance for that. And do I'm sorry, through the chair. Yes, ma'am. >> Do they have like an adult daycare van that's going to be driving people in and out? Let's see then they're they're looking to park somewhere else. He said they have more parking other places. They have to park somewhere else. But the more else in another business? Yeah, we have two different two other locations. So all the buses stay at one location at the the main one. Okay. Thank you. Claudia, is this recommendation for us to eliminate more of their parking spaces just to accommodate the the dumpster or is it more just for the back out parking? Because we're we're taking away more of their parking spaces. I'm seeing four and four, which one of them has the dumpster plus the two in the front. So it's like 10. It's a combi- It's a combination of things. Correct. So it's not only just to accommodate the dumpster, but as you can see over here I don't know if I'm doing this, we're making it harder for them and then in what's going to end up happening is they're going to start parking their cars other places, no? Cuz they they have We're We're giving them a less parking. We're making it more difficult. My understanding of the application is that they don't have as many parking because there is adult daycare. So they don't drive to the location. Right. That is my understanding. But they have employees. Right, exactly.
