Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 15,2004
City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
Certain Conditions; Providing for an Effective Date. (Z2003-15 - Jade on the Beach)
(Continued from 12/18/03)
Action: City Clerk Hines read the title and City Attorney Dannheisser noted that the
Zoning application for a Sales Office was approved on December 18, 2003, and that the
resolution is coming back for final adoption with several conditions. She reminded the
Commission that there was an issue as to the height, which the Commission set at 30-feet,
with a 10-foot landscape buffer. City Attorney Dannheisser stated that today she received
a revision from the Attorney for the Jade Sales Center wishing to add some language that
she felt would adjust the height of the building to allow for the wings and the air
conditioning structure.
Public Speakers: Judith Burke, Esq.; Kobi Karp, Architect; Henry Kay
Judith Burke, Esq., representing Fortune Beach, LLC, said the issue with the resolution
was that it mentioned that the Sales Center would be 30-feet at the roof which is exactly
what it is, but she wants to change the description of the plans because it didn't have the
last revised date of 12-18-03, which were the plans that she submitted to the Commission
at that public hearing. She noted that the architectural features are on top of the 30-foot
roof, and wanted to add the language that the plans were dated November 13, 2003, last
revised December 18, 2003 as accepted by the Commission at the hearing.
Commissioner Thaler asked if the overall height is 30-feet, and Ms. Burke said no, the
roof is 30-feet.
Kobi Karp, Architect for the project, noted that the roof height is 30-feet, and the wings
provides the elevator for the project, and the highest point with the wings is 60-feet. He
stated that the elevator is in the middle, and to hide the elevator machine room and air
conditioning units with a covering, the fins of the building come up at 50-feet.
Commissioner Thaler said that at the last meeting it was stated that the Architect was
going to take the building down to 30-feet in total. Mr. Karp noted that the roof was
originally 50-feet and they brought it down to 30-feet, and Ms. Burke said that it was
presented at the last public hearing and approved by this Commission. Mayor Ede1cup
said that there is confusion because this Commission thought the overall height was 30-
feet. Ms. Burke said that it was 50-feet and they brought it down to 30-feet, moved it
back 25-feet setback away from the street, and they agreed to put in the lO-foot buffer.
Commissioner Brezin asked how many feet in width is that elevator shaft, and Mr. Karp
presented a rendering of the Sales Center.
Commissioner Iglesias noted that at the last meeting it was agreed that the City will get
the Sales Center for use in a future park, or as a recreational center, etc., and Ms. Burke
answered yes, if you can move it, you can have it. Commissioner Iglesias said he would
like to see it built in sections. Mr. Karp said he spoke to Ron Korneig and they would be
able to do that. Vice Mayor Goodman said there should be a time limit as to how long
the building is going to stay there and in the event that the project doesn't sell, is the City

City of Sunny Isles Beach, Rorida
prepared to say that you will remove it from the premises, and Ms. Burke said there is a
provision in the Resolution that says if we don't get our building permit and start
construction of the main project within one year, they have to remove this building, and
she is asking if that can be changed to eighteen months, and then after the eighteen
months, and they have not pulled their building permit for the project, then they have to
remove it, and that is when the City gets the building. Ms. Burke said they are working
on getting the building permit now.
Mayor Edelcup stated that the motion needs to be amended to change the 12-month
notation to an 18-month notation, and recognize in the granting of this that we are
speaking of a 30-foot height of the building exclusive of the wings, and that the overall
height for the entire project will not exceed 60-feet. Vice Mayor Goodman asked if the
18 months begins today, and Ms. Burke said that the 18 months begins the day they get
the building permit for the sales center and expires, they have to get the building permit
for the main building.
City Attorney Dannheisser clarified the motion, that the Commission will approve the
Resolution in the packet with the following changes: paragraph two will indicate that it
is the drawings dated last revised 12-18-03 as accepted at the December 18,2003 public
hearing, which include the overall height not to exceed 60-feet, and in paragraph 4 of
page 5 of other conditions will be amended from one year to 18 months, and
CommissionerIglesias said the landscape plan is dated 12-17-03.
Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Brezin seconded a motion for
approval, as amended. Resolution No. 03-Z-79 was approved by a roll-call vote of 4-
1 (Commissioner Thaler opposed) in favor.
Vote: Commissioner Brezin yes

on the west side to tone down development and provide public plazas. Commissioner
Iglesias stated that the Transfer of Development Rights from privately owned sites to
sender sites, and based on the recommendation of the workshop that the City's Planner
said a 3.7 FAR could be obtained on certain sites by getting the enclosed parking, the
public bonus plaza, the public bay-walk, and site assembly, and in addition to that it was
his belief that there should be a lO-year date of windows when TDRs could be used for
private to private. Commissioner Iglesias stated that he has brought back a proposed
amendment that would give the City valuable land to be used for public purpose, mainly a
park, and he has toned down his lO-years to 5-years, toned down the FAR to 3.75, and
most importantly the fact that still remains at any time that the City doesn't like the
property that it is going to get, has a right to reject it. He noted that Vice Mayor Goodman
has been working two years trying to expand the Fire Rescue Station.
Mayor Ede1cup brought up two technical changes: when referred to owners ofTDRs this
is clarifying that to mean owners, their successors, heirs, or assigns; and, on page 11 there
is a second amendment that is basically asking the City to always act in good faith
whenever they are dealing on TDRs, because every time someone comes to the City to use
those TDRs, the Commission still has to approve those TDRs in a Site Plan Review, and
always has that discretion to accept or turn down the use of those TDRs by turning down
that site plan, and basically it is saying that a sender site donor shall be approved by the
City using good faith. Mayor Ede1cup further stated that this Ordinance is describing the
fact that there are two kinds of banks for TDRs, there is the bank for City-owned TDRs,
and there is the private bank that will exist in the situation where the sender does not use
all of the TDRs at an initial time on a new site, and therefore he will have a bank similar
to what the City has in which to use it over the 5-year period. City Attorney Dannheisser
stated that one last minor change is when we were talking about the balance of the 50,000
square feet and the 100,000 square feet we were referring to City-owned not privately
owned.
Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Thaler seconded a motion to approve
the Alternative 2 proposal on first reading, as amended. The motion was approved

Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Mayor Edelcup reported.
Public Speakers: Henry Kay; Joseph Milton
Vice Mayor Goodman asked if there were any rules for time element as to how long Sales
Trailers can be on a site from starting point to ending point. Planning and Zoning
Administrator Vera stated that there are several conditions in an ordinance, first that the
Sales Office shall be removed if the Site Plan approval for the main real estate
development project is not granted within one year from the date of the Building Permit
for the Sales Office is issued, and then it runs with the Building Permit as they start
construction they can keep selling. Commissioner Iglesias said that once a building goes
up and they still have an apartment left to sell, as a general rule, trailers go away because it
is not a pretty sight and they want to show off their building, and as soon as a developer
can, he does away with the trailer. Mr. Vera noted that the sales trailer will have to come
back before the Commission for Site Plan approval.
Commissioner Iglesias moved and Commissioner Thaler seconded a motion to adopt the

reported.
Public Speakers: Clifford Schulman, Esq.
Mayor Edelcup explained what this Ordinance is. City Attorney Dannheisser said that it
bears a more rational nexus now to the actual cost of Capital Improvements. Vice Mayor
Goodman asked if the parking bonuses are within their own building or public parking,
and Mr. Vera said public parking.
Clifford Schulman, Esq., noted in Section 4 of the Ordinance, that it is unclear whether or
not projects that were previously approved with bonuses would partake of this increase.
He noted that in the TDR Ordinance that was just passed on first reading it says "this
amendment shall not apply to previously approved TDRs which transfer shall be
accomplished in accordance with the Ordinance", and he requested that similar language
be included in this Ordinance that it shall not apply to those projects for which bonuses
were previously approved, and the Commission had no problem with that. City Attorney
Dannheisser said that she will put under the effective date, that it shall be applied
prospecti vel y.
