Letter of Intent for Modification to Uniform Site Plan 5/22/23 Dear City of Sunny Isles, \S LIES RECEIVED PZ2023-03 5/23/23 PLANNING & ZONING DEPT. I am writing to express my intent to apply for a Uniform Site Plan modification to include my commercial unit's signage as part of the existing Uniform Site Plan approval. Additionally, I will be seeking variances related to Illumination, Material, Fabrication, Sign Area, and the requirement that logos comprise no more than 10% of the text area. _it_has _become evident that the previous uniform site plan ._approv_al_process did_ not adequately consider____ the challenges and requirements specific to the sole commercial space on the south side of the building. Unfortunately, this oversight has now resulted in the individual commercial unit owner having to modify the uniform siteplan which is for the whole property and in turn resulted in a significant financial burden and added complexity to the process of obtaining a sign permit. The additional steps and costs involved in obtaining a sign permit have added significant strain to our resources. We are confronted with a unique challenge of creating a design that not only meets the necessary regulations but also enhances the visual appeal of the building and maintains harmony with its surroundings. We understand the importance of a proportional and aesthetically pleasing signage solution. The stark contrast between the current unsightly signage and our proposed elegant design is quite striking. On the north side of the building, the existing signage is a large, bulky, and brightly illuminated box, accompanied by channel letters that are lit from the front. In direct juxtaposition, our proposed sign exudes sophistication and simplicity. It will consist of a thin, plain matte black logo directly affixed to the building's facade, with the letters tastefully backlit. Unlike the current signage, our design does away with the need for an enclosure box, allowing the sleek and refined aesthetic of the building to shine through. The result will be a harmonious integration of the signage with the architectural features, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the building. By seeking these variances, we aim to rectify the omission in the previous site plan approval and alleviate the hardship placed upon us. It is crucial to emphasize that our intent is not to deviate arbitrarily from the regulations but to address the specific challenges we face as the sole commercial unit on the south side of the building. The variances we seek will enable us to overcome these challenges, ensuring that our signage design is proportional with the building features and blends seamlessly and harmoniously with the surrounding area. Our Uniform Site plan Modification is to include the following signage for Unit CU2 in Tower 3: 1) Main Sign on Building Facade 2) Directional Signage on side of building/bay walk 86
