Regular City Commission Meeting June 3, 2004 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Rorida building to go over 55 stories, but he wants to cap it out on the east side that there will not be any buildings any higher than what they are at now. Commissioner Thaler asked if they already own the TDRs on this project, and Mr. Vera said basically it has the same conditions with the exception of Condition No.5 that was modified and also that they will meet all the requirements of the Declaration of Restrictions with an additional 5,000 square feet for the beachfront park, and City Attorney Dannheisser said the Declaration of Restrictions from the prior, and Mr. Vera said it says 10,000 but will be modified to reflect 15,000 square feet. Henry Kay asked if the City would get cash benefit out of this, and Mayor EdeIcup said it depends on where they buy their TDRs, yes if they come to the City to buy what we own, but if they go elsewhere than the City would presumably get some land that was represented by those TDRs but no cash. Mr. Vera said that the City would get some benefits especially in the bonuses but not the TDRs, because it is a different ratio on the bonuses and almost doubles on the bonuses. Commissioner Iglesias stated that if they buy it from a sender site it means that the sender site has 54 units that they can't build there so the City is not adding any more density, and Vice Mayor Goodman stated that the tax base for the building will go up.
