Miami Beach historic board grants continuances for city kiosks and seawall variance
Summary
The Historic Preservation Board approved continuances for a citywide digital information kiosk location at Espanola Way and a seawall variance application at 1835 Michigan Avenue to give applicants time to supply additional site and flood‑mitigation information.
The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board on Monday approved continuances for two applications, giving applicants time to refine plans and submit additional documentation.
Staff presented HPB 260685, a citywide digital‑information kiosk package that includes a kiosk proposed for Espanola Way and Drexel Avenue. The applicant asked to continue the item to the board’s October meeting to identify a final location and complete plans; the board approved the request to continue to October 13.
The board also considered HPB 25670, a variance request at 1835 Michigan Avenue related to a seawall and recent work done without a permit. Staff said an outstanding notice of violation was issued after post‑construction seawall repairs triggered height requirements and that additional inspection information about King Tide exposure was expected. The applicant asked to continue the item to the November meeting so staff could include inspection findings in the packet; the board agreed to continue the application to November 10.
Both continuances were framed as procedural steps to allow staff and applicants to resolve outstanding technical matters: the kiosk team must finalize siting and submit permit‑level drawings, and the seawall applicant must provide remediation/inspection evidence related to flood vulnerability and any required corrective permitting.
