Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting November 17, 2005 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida to be white in color and that would be painted metal, and behind that would be a light gray louvered system so to accentuate the pattern in the front. He said they are very subdued colors, very cool neutral colors. Vice Mayor Thaler asked for a color pattern be sent here or presented to staff. Commissioner Goodman asked about the deliveries and the off-street parking for the deliveries, and Mr. Jenkins said the deliveries are located back on the northern edge of the building with four loading bays, three of them are 10 x 25 and one of them is 11 x 35, and these are all located off from Collins Avenue and you would not be able to see that on the lower level, set back beyond 75-feet and it is envisioned to have a decorative screen gate there that recalls the pattern of the parking garage to hide that. Commissioner Brezin asked if they could also put in a drinking fountain at the beach access, and Mr. Jenkins said yes they would. Mayor Edelcup opened/closed the public hearing and some residents were concerned about noise from cars in the parking garage and the height. Mr. Ferro said that the Architect did what he needed to do to buffer the effects from the parking lot. He said they are committed to do the fountain on the beach access, and they will establish a relationship with their neighbors to make sure any management issues on the building are going to be addressed to everyone's satisfaction. Mayor Edelcup reiterated that this is an as-of-right building, and when the Zoning laws were passed in this City they were passed to permit this kind of construction on the east side of Collins Avenue which permits up to 550-feet in height. Mr. Ferro said that the hotel will be a five-star hotel and well managed. Vice Mayor Thaler asked to amend the approval that staff has to approve the colors before this is approved, and Assistant City Manager Vera said that he will have the Architect bring in a sample of glass and the mesh, at the December 8, 2005 meeting.
