<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting November 17,2005 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />hardship. Assistant City Manager Vera said that basically Mr. Karp's hands are tied by the <br />requirements because he could have come in and created the pedestal wider and go up and ask <br />for a variance of setback and it could be the 20% parking but then what happened is the issue <br />ofthe Fire Department that they needed a second staging area and the only way in these lots to <br />create a second staging area is to the north or to the south and once you put a pedestal, that is <br />four or five stories up, the Fire Department is not going to be able to make it up there with a <br />fire truck and so that is one of the reasons the Fire Department did not approve the two other <br />options. He said the reason they came in for the 100% is for just that reason that they could <br />not increase their floor height and the pedestals or else they would have asked for variance of <br />setbacks. He asked Mr. Karp if he could look at the site and leave the first floor like he has <br />but as he gets towards half of the property towards the ocean the rear half create the parking <br />garage structure to be multi-level there, thereby eliminating the 100% tandem, and Mr. Karp <br />said they studied that and it doesn't work because of the staging area. Assistant City Manager <br />Vera said if they are able to talk to the Fire Department and tell them that he can get their <br />trucks half way into the lot and that will be their staging area and Mr. Karp said they already <br />did, but the lesser of two evils on this variance would be to ask for the smaller mass of a <br />parking structure. <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager Vera asked about notification for the deferral and City Attorney <br />Ottinot said it is deferred to a date certain so no notification is required. <br /> <br />Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Goodman seconded a motion to Defer to a <br />date certain of December 8, 2005. The motion was approved by a voice vote of 5-0 in <br />favor. <br /> <br />[Clerk's Note: The Commission took afive-minute recess.] <br /> <br />6B.
