Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design , Inc (KKAID) has an immediate challenging internship opening for a self-starter select student interested in residential design with historic preservation aspects and water mitigation rise issues . Proficiency in Auto/Cad is a must for this position.

 The Student will be coached by one of KKAID’s team leaders and all their third-party meetings will be also attended by KKAID’s team leader.  

 

Introduction:

 

169 N.E 44 street, Miami FL (“Property“) is a ‘one family home’, located in Miami’s Buena Vista East Historic district, five blocks from the heart of Miami’s design district. The property, which is owned by the Eliana Ellern Trust was built in 1927 in the Mediterranean Revival style and can be potentially converted to 4 residential units since it sits on two 5,250 Sqft, lots in a T3O zone.

 

Architectural Background:

 

The property unfortunately gained violations due to work done without permit and illegal tenancy. This situation might become a blessing in disguise since up zoning from a one family home to a 4-unit property is the only way to fix the violations especially the illegal tenancy.

 

Miami city’s attorney agreed with the Property’s legal counsel to entertain this route with the condition that the owner will submit to the city an approvable plan within reasonable time. 

 

While the property sits on two perfect 5,250 Sqft lots, the lots need to be redrafted since the landmarked main house stretches on both lots which creates a stacking issue.

 

Attached is a naïve drawing  in which the two lots were revised

 

A Each of the two lots exceed 5000 Sqft.

B. The party line is 5ft set back from the landmarked main house on the east lot.

C. The party line can be also 5ft set back from the 27×17 utility structure on the west lot by demolishing 50 Sqft which is acceptable since this structure was built in 1992 and has no landmark issues.

  

The candidate’s 3 steps will be to

 

A.  Refine the attached drawing with a professional surveyor/mapper , referred by KKAID and draft  a 3D drawing to comply with Miami 21 article 7.   

                                                       

B. The redesign of the lots will create new nonconformities since neither lot will be uniformly 50’ wide. The candidate will need to coordinate with the Property’s legal counsel who will resolve the non- conformity either by an application for covenants in lieu of unity of title (Per Miami 21 article 7.2.7 non- conforming lots, Paragraph 2) or other legal avenues she might choose .

 

C. Submit the preliminary sketch to Miami’s zoning office . We limited the scope to back engineer past work hoping that the Special Certificate of Appropriateness (SCOA) will pass HEPB review smoothly. However, demolishing 50 Sqft in the utility structure might deem its bedroom in- habitable. The candidate will need to modify this plan to enlarge the bedroom, coordinating with his team leader prior to submission of the preliminary work to the zoning department.

 

 

Once Miami’s Zoning office approves the plan, the candidate will need to prepare for meetings with Public Works and all other city departments that need to review the plan, through permitting 

Compensation: The candidate will be paid $15-$20 per hour .

            It is estimated that 80% of the candidate’s work will be home based 

            It is estimated that Items A,B,C, above will require 150 hours of the    

                        Candidate’s time over the next two months
