Summary Minutes: City Commission Meeting March 2, 2004 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida both, so we can go to a more traditional tower separation concept. Mayor Edelcup said so it is clearer, we may need to rework it to ensure that there is no long wide wall, and the best way to show that is to show tower separation. Commissioner Iglesias would like to see at least 50-feet in between all towers. Mayor Edelcup said that we need to do the same thing for the front and back setback on a tower. It was determined that there shall be a minimum of 50- feet between towers. · Page 12: Summary Chart A. Town Center Sub-District: Setbacks & Amenities by Street Type: City Attorney Dannheisser asked about Sub-Districts and asked if that includes the south edge and everything on Sunny Isles Boulevard, and Ms. Eichner said it includes everything except Summary Charts A & B refers to all of Town Center and Summary Charts C & D goes to that Center Portion of Sunny Isles Boulevard. Mayor Edelcup said that when we go to the final Ordinance we should have the text, charts, and graphics. Discussion continued on the Charts and Ms. Eichner noted that the pedestal is the front setback, the tower is 20-feet in on all four sides from the edge of the pedestal which is already 25-feet from the front, so the tower will begin 45 feet and the penthouse would be yet another 20-feet which is in essence 65-feet from the front setback, and the same too on the sides which is 10-feet, another 20-feet for the tower and then the tower will be 30-feet from property edge and the penthouse another 20-feet which is in essence 50-feet from the edge. Mayor Edelcup said that when it is all said and done, that there is at least 50-feet in between towers and that has to be the guiding thing. Commissioner Brezin asked for a rendering of that showing the pedestal and the setbacks, both sides, front, and back. Ms. Eichner said that the Commission would have that for each of those types, including a graphic, charts, and text. Regardless of what the lot width is, you will always have the side setbacks which is if there is a 25-foot setback on each property, that is 50-feet. Commissioner Iglesias discussed Sunny Isles Boulevard on Chart A saying he does not have a problem with the 15-feet front setback but on Chart B he would like the Tower to setback lO-feet, not 20-feet. Commissioner Brezin asked for clarification, and Ms. Eichner said that right now on the south side of Sunny Isles Boulevard, from the street and sidewalk, for instance the reconfiguration of Sunny Isles Boulevard, which is 14-feet, 16-feet from the curb, from the property line and 15-feet to the pedestal, from the edge of the pedestal to where the tower starts, is what this discussion is about, if it is lO-feet or 20-feet. Commissioner Thaler asked if you move it to lO-feet, do they get 10 more feet in the back, and Ms. Eichner said yes because the rear setback is lO-feet, so lO-feet from the rear property line to the base of the pedestal, and then it would be another lO-feet where the tower begins, which in essence is 20-feet from the rear property line, in the front, because you are starting off with 15 feet, the tower would begin at 35- feet from property line. After discussion it was the consensus to leave it at 20 50f8
