Ms.Claudia Hasbun,Zoning Administrator October 26,2012 Page 2 (2) approval of the utilization of 51,287 square feet and 20 units of private Transferred Development Rights(TDRs)in accordance with Section 265- 23 of the City's Land Development Regulations(LDRs); (3) approval of an increase in floor area ratio in accordance with Section 265- ; 35 utilizing the following bonuses: • 0.20-EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE BONUS; • 0.30-BEACH ACCESS TRUST FUND; • 0.60 - COLLINS AVENUE IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND; • 0.60-PUBLIC BEACH RECREATION ENHANCEMENT; • 0.20- PUBLIC OCEANFRONT PARK & OPEN SPACE ENHANCEMENT • 0.20-PUBLIC PARKING BONUS; (4) waiver and approval of substituted beach access easement, pursuant to Section 265-35(D)(8); (5) approval for the use of mural and graphic design on temporary construction fence,pursuant to 265-57(G). Please note, as a part of our request, the Applicant intends to construct a 7,500 square foot publicly accessible plaza and art sculpture to be located along Collins Avenue. This plaza will enhance the aesthetics of Collins Avenue and will provide an interconnection between the existing public beach access points on the north and south of Property. We believe that the requested waiver of beach access is appropriate since the subject parcel is located mid-block and approximately 165' from the closest pedestrian cross-walk to the north and approximately 288' from the closest pedestrian cross-walk to the south. Moreover,the subject property is bracketed with existing beach access easements on the north(Ocean IV)and on the south(Jade Ocean). Due to the property's mid-block location,we respectfully submit that in the interest of protecting the public safety and welfare,provision of a beach access way at this midblock location would constitute a potential safety hazard and an inducement to illegal pedestrian crossing of Collins Avenue.
