Proposal

The applicant is requesting to divide one large property consisting of approximately six platted lots (124,852 square feet) into two separate buildable parcels - one lot of 20,275 SF and another of 104,513 SF. This would allow for potential future development on the smaller separated lot while maintaining the existing large estate property.

From the Letter of Intent

The applicant is requesting lot split approval to separate 16 La Gorce Circle from the larger property to reflect existing, City approved as-built conditions. The property consists of four separate lots with three single-family homes and a private park/gazebo fronting Biscayne Bay.

  • Split 16 La Gorce Circle (20,275 SF) from the remaining property (104,513 SF)
  • Formalize existing separate development sites as approved by the City
  • Maintain existing three single-family homes and gazebo in current conditions
