A Special Presentation to Former City Commissioners Roslyn Brezin and Gerry Goodman for their Dedicated Services to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Action: Mayor Edelcup said we are honoring two unique individuals who really are the models for public service and giving to our community. Tonight we are going to be honoring former City Commissioners Roslyn Brezin and Gerry Goodman. Before we became a City both of them were instrumental in creating the opportunity for us to be where we are today. Roslyn Brezin was on the original Charter Committee, and she was a political activist and vote getter when the City needed those votes to become a City. Before Gerry Goodman became a Commissioner we spent a few years together on the Comprehensive Planning Committee and created the original land Ordinances that today are still part of the City and responsible for the beautiful east side and Sunny Isles Boulevard. It wouldn't be without your efforts that we have been able to achieve some of these tremendous goals for our City. Mayor Edelcup said he and Gerry Goodman were first elected in 2001, and we kind of celebrated that last week with Gerry's birthday. When he became the Mayor upon the death of Mayor David Samson, he had the privilege of honoring Roslyn Brezin to replace him as a Commissioner At- Large. As a Commissioner, Roslyn Brezin demonstrated her love for this City. She was at City Hall every day trying to answer questions not only for our staff but also for residents of our City who would pop up in City Hall to speak to a Commissioner about various things or complaints or comments they may have had to make our City abetter place. 2 Summm. Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City or Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Germ Goodman served nine (9) years as a Commissioner, and right now that is more than half the life of our City, and we are certainly proud that Gerry was a Commissioner during the formative years of our City. Roslyn Brezin was the best pick he could ever make for his replacement as Commissioner At- Large, and she served seven (7) years in her capacity as Commissioner. It was a tireless effort on both of their parts. Mayor Edelcup said in the early years it was all volunteered, nobody got paid for three (3) or four (4) of those years because we wanted to make sure the City was on a stable financial footing before there would be any compensation to Commissioners. Also, both of them never hesitated to be here on a daily basis, and the only times they missed was only those times that they may have had personal problems and could not be here at City Hall. Of course the retirement for both of them came and again proving what outstanding citizens they are, they never gave up their efforts of making this City a better place. Gerry has always been involved with Aventura Hospital and really our Ambassador to that hospital. Any resident that needed to go to the Hospital, all they had to do was to let Gerry Goodman know that they were going to be there and he paved the way to make their hospital stay as good as it could possibly be made. Roslyn volunteered at Mt. Sinai Hospital on a once a week basis, but on a daily basis she has headed up our Seniors Program for the City and have made it into an outstanding program. Each year you have more and more members and again this is something that he knows they both do from the heart. Mayor Edelcup personally thanked them from the bottom of his heart for being truly outstanding citizens of Sunny Isles Beach. Mayor Edelcup and the Commission presented them each with a special plaque. He read the inscription for Roslyn Brezin "In recognition of your devotion and dedicated service to the seniors of our community while displaying leadership, loyalty, and commitment that enhanced the quality of life." For Gerry Goodman "In recognition of your years of municipal service to members of our City serving as an Ambassador of Goodwill to the hospitalized, homebound, and the ill. You are truly our City's visiting angel." Roslyn Brezin thanked Mayor Edelcup and the Commission, and said she is forever grateful that she had this opportunity and privilege to serve the City that she loves at the time she served. She said she would never be retired as long as she is alive. Gerry Goodman thanked Mayor Edelcup and the Commission, and thought back when David Samson was the head of the Concerned Citizens and that is when it all started. Gerry ran the first time we became a City and he lost the election. He ran four (4) years later after serving four (4) years on the Planning Committee. The day he ran on was September 11, 2001 and his birthday. A funny thing that happened, he was going with Lila Sterling, who just passed away, she brought a birthday cake for that election, and he won by one (1) vote. They counted the ballots with the machine three (3) times and he won by one (1) vote. The next day there was a recount and he picked up five (5) votes and so he won by six (6) votes. He ran against a dear friend of his, Irving Turetsky who was the first Commissioner, who called up his friend Lila and said if he lost to anybody, he is glad that he lost to Gem because he is doing a much better job than he could have done. Gerry thought that was the greatest compliment that anyone could give him. He has lived in Sunny Isles Beach for 28 years, retired. It is the most beautiful City, and we worked diligently and all we had was the two - story motels, and what we have now is a world class City and he is glad to be part of it. 3 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 5E.

Public Speakers: Clifford Schulman, Esq.,- Jules Trump; Larry Freedman, Architect; Vitaly Pilyayskv Clifford Schulman, Esq. representing GSF Acquisition, LLC. said with him tonight is Jules Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida and Stephanie Trump, Larry Freedman of Cohen Freedman & Associates Architects, Juan Espinosa of David Plummer and Association Traffic Engineers, Rick Chitwood. Vice President of Construction for the Trump Group, Eric Propes and Michael Garehart from EDSA our Landscape Architect, and he is also told that here tonight is the President of the Golden Strand Ocean Villa Resort Association Joseph Feldman. General Manager Bertram Safset, and the Association's Legal Counsel Leonard Lubart of Greenspoon Marder. All the exhibits that we are going to use tonight we want to include in the record as well as the complete file, and he will provide small scale copies if they are not already available. It is great as a lawyer practicing 42 years to have a loyal and trusting client that are also close friends. He has known the Trumps for over 35 years when we started a little project called "Williams Island" which some said could never get done, and we got it done. When they traveled across the Intracoastal Waterway their loyalty continued and they came back to him. and he was pleased to bring to the Commission " Acqualina', "The Mansions at Acqualina', and now the third Trump Group project "Palazzo Di Acqualina". Jules Trump thanked the Commission for creating an environment where developers could dare to see their dreams with the confidence that they will in fact be able to turn them into reality. He also thanked City Manager Chris Russo, City Attorney Hans Ottinot, and City Planner Claudia Hasbun. We are very proud of what Acqualina has achieved in terms of recognition and quality. When we first came to the City we had a vision for a world -class resort. Without the support of the City there is no way this could have happened, and we are very grateful for the tremendous support that City Staff Commission and the Mayor has given US. as well as the late Mayor David Samson. We have grown together, Acqualina earning 5- Star and 5- Diamond recognition shared by only a select few hotels in the County. Sunny Isles Beach is securing for itself the most sought after address in the world as the "Florida Riviera'. Our team and our family has a deep commitment to Sunny Isles Beach. We will continue building on the strength of Acqualina ultimate quality and delivering 5 -Star and 5- Diamond service. With the Golden Strand property we will control 1,100 feet of frontage. We will be building two (2) towers with an exciting new look, and between the two (2) towers will be a magnificent villa providing multiple amenities for every age group, and a famous restaurant will be open for food and beverage. All the condos are very large, and instead of maximizing the number of units, we have chosen to go with bigger units and will minimize the footprint so that there is a tremendous amount of gardens and beautiful landscaping. He thanked Cliff Schulman for his remarks, and he introduced Brian Degnan, Esq. who is the in -house attorney who has also done a tremendous job on getting us to this place. Clifford Schulman, Esq. provided to the City Clerk resumes for Eric Propes of EDSA, Laurence Freedman of Cohen Freedman & Associates Architects, and Juan Espinosa of David Plummer & Associates. This is an as -of -right no variance project, in fact, it not only meets the requirements of the Code, it exceeds the requirements of the Code. This project has 23% less lot coverage then is permitted by the Code, the project has 26% more open space then what is required by the Code. The project front setback is 100 feet further than it needed to be, the garage setback is 60 feet more than the Code would require. The towers themselves are 142 feet less in width then is provided by the Code, the Code provides for 250 width, we are 142 feet less than that, and most importantly the Floor Area Ratio of this project is 278,000 square feet less than the Code would allow. Secondly, it is 392 units less than the Code would allow. 0 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City of Sunny Isla Beach, Florida Lam' Freedman, Architect, showed several renderings and a 31) model of the Project. He went through highlights of the project which are three (3) basic components, two (2) slender 51 -story towers, approximately 643 feet tall, and a 3 -level amenity building in the center that will be called the Villa, which will be a traditional style amenity feature. The Villa will feature a restaurant, club rooms, health clubs with spa and amenities, theaters, game rooms, indoor sports, and all kinds of recreation amenities. The residential towers are going to have a very small footprint, as a matter of fact, there are about 11,000 square feet per level which is quite small. There is about a 100 -foot spacing between the towers. There will be 95 residential units per building for a total of 190 units, typically it will be two (2) units per floor, one unit will be about 4,350 square feet, and the other unit should be around 5,000 square feet. The penthouse will occupy the top floor, with an outdoor pool, sun deck, and all kinds of features. Basically the tower design and the project design is like a transitional or evolution from the original Acqualina project. We are looking to maintain a lot of the traditional elements in the design and to start adding more contemporary elements like floor to ceiling glass, glass balcony, and glass with aluminum balcony railings, and other modem elements. On the rendered site plan it depicts basically most of the site is either green, water, paper patterns, it is all kinds of landscaped elements. What you see in white is the only thing that will depict the area of the towers and the amenity building, and those two (2) connections link the two towers with the amenity building and that is the arcade in between. On the east side is the recreation deck, pools, levels, water features, etc., and to the west is the arrival court at the second level and gentle sloping ramps will lead you up to the arrival court and introduce you to the porte-cochere and into the lobbies. Everything below is the parking structure, one level of parking, concealed to the public as well as all the building functions like loading, building services, mechanical spaces, etc. That last image is basically a slice through the typical floor of one of the towers, the two beige elements represent the footprint of the towers. Mr. Schulman demonstrated what the towers will look like with and without the TDRs. This project is a great example of what we call "Tall and Slim' allowing the air and light. It preserves the views, inner light, and a great example of tall and slim. We reviewed staff conditions and we have no problems with them except one condition, condition Number 27 requires that we pull a building permit within 24 months, which is the standard Code provision, we have requested 48 months in addition to that. The rationale for that is that we have a plan of termination this is an existing condominium, and so you have to go through the whole statutory procedure and file a plan of termination. Our plan for termination calls for the actual closing not to take place until late November 2017, and so we will not have fee simple title until that time. Plus as you can see this is a big project, it is probably going to be one tower at a time in both marketing and in construction. Taking that into account they respectfully request the entire 72 months, staff has reviewed it and favorably recommended it, and we ask you to modify that condition accordingly. Mayor Edelcup opened the public hearing. Vitaly Pilyaysky, President of the Association representing about 360 unit owners at the Trump International. He said the building that is going up will be beautiful but their concern is, the building is right next to them, and they wanted to be sure that all the debris, if there is any kind of damage, or un- seeable things that come up, they wanted to make sure the developer will be willing to work with them, and they indicated they would work with them but he wanted it on record. It is going to be a long project, it is going to be 6 — 8 years. They have a common area which is the beach pathway, 7 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida the landscaping, and we want to make sure we are working together. Mayor Edelcup asked the Applicant to explain three (3) things that were left out of your presentation: 1) the beach access; 2) the bridge between the current Acqualina and this project: and 3) the traffic gate proposal between the two properties. Mr. Schulman said the beach access is on the same side as the Trump beach access, and the staff condition is we create an integrated basically a 40 -foot wide beach access, and they are more than willing to do so, they only have legal control on our side of the line but the City has assured us that they will work with us, and the owner of that site to make sure that it is truly integrated and we are willing to do that. The bridge integration is neither new nor innovative, the Mansions has the same integration with Acqualina, and so basically what we are doing is integrating the amenities of the projects together with a bridge which is high enough to allow fire trucks and emergency access vehicles through it. On the issue of the driveway, right now valet parking for Acqualina is exceedingly difficult with very long waits. This will allow us to bring in cars in valet only to get into Acqualina, there is no exit for the valet from this project, it is only an entrance, and it is one -way. There will be safety precautions taken to a pedestrian safety plan which we will present to the City Manager and work with him as well as two technical experts to make sure it works well. The last thing in the world that we want is for it not to work well, it is in their best interest to make sure there are no problems. We will respond to the City Manager who could revoke that at any time if we don't follow the safety plan. Commissioner Levin said she knows it is conceptual but she likes the idea of having the skating rink. She asked what is the rationale for the parking and for the bridge? We werejust talking about going from one building to the next. Mr. Schulman said basically we are integrating so people from this development can go into the Acqualina restaurants without having to go out onto the sidewalk, likewise for the entrance. Mayor Edelcup noted it is a pedestrian bridge. Commissioner Levin asked how the height of these two towers compared to the Acqualina and to the Mansions, are they about the same? Mr. Schulman said no, when the Acqualina was built the City had a zoning height limitation of 550 feet based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) limit at that point. Subsequently the FAA increased the height that would be allowed in the City to 649 feet plus. The City then amended its Zoning Code to state that the height is whatever the FAA permits. And so, every project over 200 feet in the United States that is built has to go to the FAA for approval. What we did was we went to the FAA and they told us what we already knew because on Mr. Dezer's project, the Mansions is 649, and we are a little bit less than that. Commissioner Scholl said that every developer knows it is very difficult now to aggregate land on the beach, and to get a lot of beach frontage. The sellers of Golden Strand could have taken their property and broken it up into pieces, and that may or may not have been a better economic event for them. But the fact that Mr. Trump was able to make a deal with them and keep that land whole, and design a project on a much larger piece of land and then ultimately have two slender towers as opposed to three or have two different projects on that land, is very commendable. He thinks the extension of time they are asking for the building permit is a very small price to pay for the fact that they are able to make a deal with the condominium and ultimately unravel that, and that obviously puts pressure on the timing. The fact that we are ending up with one project on a large section of land, and a beautiful project nonetheless is again a wonderful testament to Mr. Trump and his organization. In addition, it is contiguous 8 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 18, 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida to his other projects, and so he feels like we got a tremendous benefit here because he has been able to buy obviously the land on either side of the original Acqualina project. He thanked the developers and they have his overwhelming support for the project. Vice Mayor Aelion said the renaissance style, the elegant plan, the two towers are very much in line with the present on the beach adjacent to them. As far as being in line with the Comprehensive Plan with the required zoning, allowances, setbacks, number of units, etc. it is very appropriate with the number of units and still be within Code. It is very commendable that the developer and the architect have thought of elegance and put it in front of the economic bottom line. He also supports this project. Commissioner Gatto said it is always a pleasure to review one of these zoning items without variances because it takes stress off from things and we are able to give the building for what it is. She loves the idea that there are two towers with 150 feet of space in between, and it kind of honors the area with blue sky, the beach, and blue water which can be seen from the street at certain angles. It was a very thoughtful thing to do, they exceeded the Code but basically they are under Code on a lot of things. It is very impressive and she really likes it. The design of the building is beautiful, it seems to be a little bit contained of a City in a City, which is a fun thing to think about. She thinks the Trumps are bringing a beautiful aesthetic to our City, and she supports it. Mayor Edelcup said we certainly have learned to expect the outstanding from Jules, Stephanie and Eddie and they deliver time and time again the quality and the excellence that has helped make our City the tremendous location that it is. Certainly putting 1,100 feet of frontage together with tall skinny buildings meets the original goal of our City as former City Commissioner Gerry Goodman would remember when we first set our Codes together for tall skinny buildings. He also took the opportunity to thank the Trumps for the staff because City Hall is right across from your new property and you have given us some wonderful views and you are not blocking our view to see the ocean. Mr. Schulman said we will also have a restaurant where you could have a luncheon. Mayor Edelcup thanked them for taking us into account here at City Hall as well, and he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Aelion asked when will construction take place, both Towers in tandem? Mr. Schulman said we don't know at this point, it is going to be sort of market driven. Whichever tower is built first or both, the amenity package, the Villa, will be built with whatever that tower is because you have to have the amenities for the people in that building. As to the exact sequence or whether they are both going to go up at the same time, we just don't know. Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Gatto seconded a motion for approval, subject to staff conditions. Resolution No. 14 -Z -144 was adopted by a roll call vote of 5- 0 in favor.
