i pH vKinsr Vi iw By PEGGY ROGERS Herald Staff Writer Plans by Coconut Grove developer Manny Medina to revive the landmark Mutiny Hotel have placed the prominent Medina in a familiar spot at odds with neighborhood activists The controversy has reached zoning chief who initially supported the disputed portion of the Mutiny plans but now says it is incompatible with the village center Terremark development firm submitted renovation drawings last month to create a 220-room luxury hotel out of the shuttered Mutiny 2951 Bay-shore Dr a former hangout of jet-setters and cocaine traders that slid into foreclosure Medina who bought the Mutiny last year wants to replace the two-story parking garage on McFarlane Road with a three-level garage and two rooftop tennis courts said project architect Willy Bermello But recent zoning changes no longer permit parking garages in the Grove business center where the existing garage is unless tucked behind pedestrian-level shops Miami zoning officials say The old garage can stay but no new garage could go up In keeping with that the plans are being presented not as the demolition of the old garage and building of a new garage a of an existing one Bermello ure out the position on the issue At midweek Zoning Administrator Joe Genuardi said he reviewed the plans But Terremark could not demolish a structure and build a new one when zoning no longer permits it Genuardi said OKd Genuardi offered the opposite opinion in a letter last April And because of that assessment his staff last month indicated on city documents that the met zoning codes Genuardi assessed the project in April after Terremark gave him a preliminary presentation df Mutiny renovations and garage replacement He then wrote architect Bermello saying the garage proposal meet the requirements and limitations of the city of Miami Zoning staff looked to letter when the Mutiny plans were formally submitted last month The zoning division signed off on the zoning review and sent the permits on to planners Told of that Genuardi said he was recalling more of the April presentation: coming back to me They did show me three options for what they intended to do but I remember any demolition being he said the time I recall talking about any demo- I He said Terremark would provide street level stores to mask the garage and preserve the village shopping promenade His sentiments had also softened regarding the of Grove residents who have collided with Terremark chief Medina over previous projects including GDC office tower on the Grove water- RENOVATION

who was an assistant manager at the Howard Johnson where Kemp worked as a waitress only worse now You have two people to deal with At first it was only her Now somebody According to Miami police Willford shot Juan Oliver at 2:20 am in rape She was assaulted in the back seat by one of the men while the other drove the car The men then parked and the second man assaulted the woman After an hour the victim was returned to her home One man followed her into her front door and confronted her father who was watching television in the family room The man took the VCR threatened to harm them if they called police and left After more than three months of work police reached a dead end and turned to the public for help Numerous tips resulted and detectives are widening the investigation to see if Grant and the juvenile were involved in other South Dade crimes raise salaries to hold on to his assistants become like a minor league for city attorney positions Suarez said But the mayor said he was concerned that actions might lead assistant city attorneys to believe the city could find the money to give them similar raises every year With the latest raises the salaries of 20 assistant attorneys range from $36000 to $90000 Fernandez earns $101220 In all Fernandez boosted the payroll for his lawyers by $106000 The raises range from 5 percent to almost 27 percent Still to come are bonuses of $1000 to $3000 This is not the first time attorneys have received more money than many other city employees during hard times From April 1987 to April 1989 the attorneys were awarded average raises of 22 percent And since 1988 each lawyer has received a $300-a-month car allowance Small raise big bonus But last year the method was slightly different The attorneys received smaller raises most were between 2 and 5 percent but up to $7000 each in bonuses Because the bonuses were only one-time perks Fernandez said he had to give his assistants raises this year or comparable bonuses again if he did not want their take-home pay to decline Fernandez likens his assistants to top level city administrators and said in comparison their raises have not been out of line But figures provided by the office suggest the lawyers have fared well From January 1986 through December 1989 top aides received average increases totaling 14 percent During the same period union employees received average wage increases of at least 31 percent Lawyers get raises as others get laid off the scene with purse and the handgun They were the only two witnesses and both were serving time in jail when they testified The jury deliberated for only 29 minutes before finding Willford innocent of the first-degree murder charge After the verdict attorney Eric Hendon said been in jail a year because of the words of some very unreliable witnesses Right now on a bus to to arrests Both admitted committing the crimes police said Gallagher said drugs were not involved classify them as Gallagher said The crime spree began with the theft of an older sedan owned by the wife of a Miami police officer One of the accused also said he committed a driveway robbery before begins ning to follow the woman At 2:30 am the two pulled up next to the victim as she was parking her car in front of her home Police said she was returning from her house One of the accused pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded her jewelry and purse He then demanded she remove her blouse and ordered her into the car Fernandez said had left for higher paying jobs and several others were preparing
