Summary Minutes:Special City Commission Meeting January 8,2013 Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> engineering anomaly that can effect any adjacent property owner. We are building a pier right <br /> next to La Perla within five feet of their pool, and so we can have issues there. Dennis <br /> Giordano is in the audience and he knows that we have had to deal with some of that with the <br /> adjacent property owner. And so that is why you have insurance, there will be a reputable <br /> contractor, and he thinks it will take care of itself over time. The developer hired a world <br /> renowned architect and so the adjacent property owners should be happy that they have the <br /> quality of architecture right next door to their building. There has been extra time for the <br /> adjacent property owners to meet,it is very difficult for anyone to be happy when a big tower <br /> is going to get built next to their house but it sounds like there has been some mitigation <br /> proposed, and so with that he is in support of this project. Commissioner Levin was very <br /> impressed with the presentation, and is also in support of this project. <br /> Mayor Edelcup said it sounds like everyone is please with this project,he certainly is. From <br /> past experience,the previous Jade buildings have been a tremendous asset into developing our <br /> City into Florida's Riviera and he knows this project will likewise do that for us. It is a <br /> magnificent project and we are very fortunate to have a world renowned architect to design it, <br /> and he is assured that Mr. Defortuna will work with the people on either side to ensure the <br /> safety of their properties. He would also like to make sure that people recognize that our own <br /> City Building Officials will be monitoring these projects alongside the developer,and so we <br /> don't only have the developer watching himself but we also have the City watching the <br /> development to provide that additional independent safeguard for everyone. <br /> Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Gatto seconded a motion for approval, <br /> subject to staff conditions. Resolution No. 13-Z-136 was adopted by a roll call vote of 5- <br /> 0 in favor. <br /> Vote: Commissioner Gatto yes <br /> Commissioner Levin yes <br /> Commissioner Scholl yes <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion yes <br /> Mayor Edelcup yes <br /> 4.
