Hans Ottinot, City Attorney October 6, 2011 P~g,e 3 . , . Thus,' as' aD. . example, the' easteni-m:ostparcel of the St. Tropez II proj ect is presently approved for a height of 200'. 'oUr tentative design' could allow us to lower the height of the parcel closest to Collins A venue to 150', with less of a visual impact on that heavily traffic thoroughfare. The three existing St: Ttopez Towers would, of course, remain at their present height of 200' . The two remaining towers planned for the western-most parcels could then be built at a height of 300' (24 feet lower than Oceania Towers). This would create a "step down" architectural design that is varied and similar to the height difference shown in one of our earlier projects, Pinnacle,whichhas received much citizen and architectural praise. , The required modifications to the LDRs would be minimal. These would include the following: & 265.,37. Town Center Zoning Distinct. G. Site Development standards i ! I (9)(a) The Maximum height shall ~e based on the street type'as follows: , ' [1] Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard South Edge: 190 feet. Maximum height may be increased by 10 feet, provided that the width of the building is decreased .by two feet for everyone foot of additional height up to a maximum height of200 feet. .. For phased developments with adiacent and contiguous parcels within the Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard South Edge, the unused. development .rights of each phase may be shifted to buildings. in other phases within the development to allow additional height. For such phased developments, the maximum height of 300 feet may be permitted, provided that the allowable floor area ratio density forth~ entire develo{)ment is not exceeded. In addition, Summary Chart '.'B" of the LDRs s~ould be changed to show under overall height as "190 or 300 feet, vvith a footnote after the 300' that indicated that this is the "Maximum height for a phased development, pursuant to Section265-37 (G)(9)(a)(1)". Again, we believe and submit that such changes would inure to the benefit of the City ahd would make the South Edge a visually interesting entrance to the Florida Rivera.
