AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: Julv 15. 2009 Division: Land Authoritv
Bulk Item: Yes - Nol Contact / Phone #: Mark Rosch 1295-5180
Agenda Item Wording: Approval to add 712-716 Eisenhower Drive in Key West to the Acquisition List
as an affordable housing site in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida
Keys, Inc.
Item Background: The Key West City Commission has nominated the subject property via Resolution
09-089. The property is approximately 0.34 acre in size and developed with 11 legal non-conforming
residential units in three buildings built in 1938 and 1948. The property also includes the street
addresses of 703 and 705 Pearl Street. Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys Inc.
proposes to acquire the site, perform $252,480 of renovations, and manage the property as affordable
rental housing. Habitat has entered into an option contract to purchase the site for $1,700,000 subject
to 75% financing ($1,275,000) from the Land Authority. If the Land Authority participates in this
acquisition it would likely be in the form of a mortgage loan to Habitat, the terms of which are yet to be
determined.
The addition of property to the Acquisition List is a preliminary, non-binding step indicating the Board's
desire to pursue the property. Additional Board action at a future meeting will be required before
issuing a mortgage loan or entering into a purchase contract.
Advisory Committee Action: On June 24, 2009 the Committee voted 3/0 to approve adding the
property to the Acquisition List but did not approve the proposed $1,275,000 level of Land Authority
participation.
Previous Governing Board Action: None.
Contract/Agreement Changes: NIA
Staff Recommendation: Approval.

Re: 712-716 Eisenhower Drive and 703-705 Pearl Street (RE #00023300-000000)
Dear Amy:
As you know, the City Commission has nominated the above referenced property for purchase
by the Monroe County Land Authority as an affordable housing site.
I am writing to request the Planning Department's assistance in analyzing the property's
general suitability for affordable housing as well as the following specific issues:
1) Building Permit Allocation System Determination - How many units does the City recognize
on the property? I
2) Code Compliance Issues - Do the buildings on the property comply with flood elevation, I
zoning, parking, setbacks, etc.? If not, is there a limit on the extent of renovations aI/owed I
before the buildings must be brought into compliance? How many units could be built back I
if the buildings are destroyed? I
3) Eisenhower Drive Right-of-Way - The attached survey shows a 25 to 35 foot overlap
between the subject lot and the Eisenhower Drive right-of-way. Does the City still claim I
ownership of this right-of-way? I
I
Thank you for your attention to these matters. I
Sincerely,
I:\'~h~

RE: 712 - 716 Eisenhower Drive
Real Estate (RE) Number 00023300-000000
Build-back Letter
Dear Mr. Rosch,
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your request that the Planning Department issue a determination
letter regarding the property at 712 - 716 Eisenhower Drive and 703 - 705 Pearl Street, Real Estate Number
00023300-000000.
Regarding the property's suitability for your project, from a practical stand point, this is an existing
apartment building that alleviates the need to both acquire land and construct a building/ s. While the
buildings are somewhat worn, they are in relatively good shape considering their age. Clearly, some
renovations are needed. This property would seem to be appropriate for the proposed use considering the
central location between Old Town and New Town. This increases accessibility to local employment
throughout the city. Additionally, the property offers a comfortable environment with the extensive
landscaping, common areas and open porches.
The following are direct responses to the questions in your letter.
1) Building Permit Allocation System (BPAS) units: A 1986 Polk City Directory lists 716 Eisenhower
Drive as having ten units and Pearl Street as having one unit (Attachment 1). This indicates that the
number of units predates the BPAS determination date of 1990 used in calculations for the
hurricane evacuation model. Further, the Monroe Cow:ty Property Appraiser's Office records
show a sales history dating back to 1980 (Attachment 2).
2) Number of units: The property is licensed for eleven non-transient residential units with
individual sewer and solid waste accounts, according to the Licensing Division of the Building
Department (Attachment 3). According to Keys Energy Services, there are ten active accounts and
one vacancy. A site visit confirmed that there are actually twelve meters, one being for exterior
lighting and possibly hot water heaters (Attachment 4).
3) Code Issues: this is a legal non-coruorming property. If the buildings are involuntarily destroyed,
they may be reconstructed in the original footprint at the current non-complying density.
However, if the cost of replacement exceeds 50% of the assessed value of the buildings, FEMA
Monroe County Land Autho' e
Build-back Determination Letter
Page 2
flood elevation requirements will need to be met. Further, if any proposed renovations will exceed
66% of the assessed value of the structure, all legal non-conformities will require variances.
. The survey provided with your letter shows the finished floor elevation for the buildings is
seven feet plus. The FEMA flood elevation required for this property is six feet (AE 6). The
buildings are one foot over the requirement and thus meet FEMA regulations (Attachment
5).
. The property is located in the Historic Medium Density Residential (HMDR) zoning district.
Multiple-family residential dwellings are a permitted use in this district, although not to the
existing density (Attachment 6).
. Parking requirements are currently not being met. There are no parking spaces shown on
site. Again, this is a legal non-conforming property.
. Dimensional limitations are currently not being met. Required setbacks and coverages are
affected by a substantial City Right-of-Way that runs across the property along Eisenhower
Drive. This removes a large area of required pervious surface and also places a portion of
the front building in the City Right-of-Way (ROW) (see Attachment 7).
4) Eisenhower Drive ROW: The City of Key West maintains possession of the ROW. An easement
will be required for that portion of the front building that is within the ROW. Stormwater
improvements may be required with any approval of an easement application.
This determination is based on information available from the City Building Department records, the
Monroe County Property Appraiser's Office, Sanborn Maps, City Directory information, City licensing
records, and the 1991 Land Use Inventory.
In summary, this letter establishes that eleven non-transient residential units exist on the property. This
letter does not grant unit allocations, but rather recognizes eleven existing non-transient residential units
on the property. Subsequently, this document will be sent to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
for their review. It is possible that the DCA may object to or provide direction regarding these findings.
Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
BreM~~=
