Ms.Claudia Hasbun,Zoning Administrator <br /> City of Sunny Isles Beach <br /> IV. Art in Public Places: Consistent with Section 104 of the Code, Applicant proposes <br /> a beautiful artistic treatment to the building. Please refer to the renderings and elevations in the <br /> Plans for illustrations of the proposed art sculpture. In sum, Applicant is proposing a structure to <br /> wrap around the garage and the \Vest side of the tower. This art sculpture will shield the garage <br /> from public view, while also creating an interesting and substantial piece of art to the Project. In <br /> addition to the artwork on the garage, the Applicant is continuing the artwork along the spine of the <br /> building facing West which provides aesthetic benefits to the community West of the Project. <br /> The sculptural wall consists of imaginative wave-shape punched panels inspired by the <br /> waves across the street. The design is tied to nature in a cohesive artistic piece visible from its <br /> surroundings. The panels are situated horizontally in a 5' x 30' grid and constructed of an <br /> aluminum composite material. The art sculpture essentially floats on the building through a <br /> concealed aluminum suspension system. Behind the perforated panels is a metal mesh that will <br /> enclose the parking structure while serving as a backdrop to the sculptured design. To enhance the <br /> floating effect, the carved screen will be back-lit at night with LED light fixtures. The estimated <br /> value of the art work is $526,500, which exceeds the maximum required art contribution. <br /> V. Agency Approvals: The Applicant will coordinate with all required reviewing <br /> agencies, including, but not limited to Miami-Dade County School Board, Miami-Dade County Fire <br /> Department, Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department, Florida Department of <br /> Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration. The Applicant understands and <br /> acknowledges that all required agency approvals must be obtained prior to construction. The <br /> Applicant will continue to meet and discuss the Project with these agencies throughout the site plan <br /> review process. <br /> Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request your favorable review and recommendation <br /> of the Application. In the event you have any questions or require anything further, please do not <br /> hesitate to contact me at 305-579-0784. <br /> Thank you in advance and we look forward to working with you on this Project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Greenberg Traurig, P.A. <br /> Ethan B.
