of 126,887 square feet of FAR (the "Project"). The Project had, full support from the neighboring King David Condominium Association. II. Modification: After value-engineering the Project, including alignment of the structural members supporting the building,Applicant proposes several minor modifications to the Project, primarily to the tower component of the structure. Note, the Project's density, height, lot coverage, landscaped open space and parking remain unchanged. The Project's FAR is Slightly increased by 496 square feet or three-tenths of 1% (0.3%), but the FAR remains "-As of Right". From a design perspective, the Applicant is introducing decorative eyebrows on all levels, as well as daylight cut-outs on the western facade (breaking up the stairwell column). The general shape of the tower floor plates are minimally revised in a positive fashion. Essentially, the revised design results in an increase in the minimum, maximum and average distance between the proposed tower and the King David tower. Not only will the new design offer increased tower spacing, but the width of the tower is also reduced by 5' (from-199'-11" to 194'-l0''). The shortened building width will greatly enhance King David's ocean views. Again, the overall building remains substantially unchanged, but the modification allows for a more efficient building design. Lastly,the Applicant respectfully requests a Waiver pursuant to Section 265-63.3(E) to place the temporary construction fence along the Collins Avenue property line. Given the size and shape of the Property and podium structure, the requested waiver will greatly enhance the efficiency and utilization of the Property during construction. III. Conclusion: The proposed modification will allow the Applicant to improve the design of the tower floor plates and enhance the structural efficiency of the building. Additionally, the revised proposal will improve the relationship between the King David tower by opening the North view corridor and increase the distance between the two towers. As these changes are extremely minor in nature and result in a positive redesign, we respectfully request your favorable review and recommendation of the Application.
