Letter of Intent <br /> In Support of Request for Variances <br /> 318 Atlantic Avenue.Sunny Isles Beach.FL 33160 <br /> This Letter of Intent is in support of our request for a variance to the side yard setback requirement for an <br /> existing non-conforming lot. The intention is to tear down and rebuild a new single-family residence with <br /> a 1-1/2 car garage. The Owner has a deteriorating health condition which currently manifests for a few <br /> months a year,but over time will continue to become more acute and he will require full accessibility <br /> 100%of the time.To this end,the house design is driven by maximum ease of accessibility for the <br /> Owner. <br /> The proposed new home is 49'-10-1/2"wide and 39'-10"high. As such based on the current code,the <br /> side yard setback requirement for our particular non-complyingglot of record is 7'-6"and we are <br /> requesting a variance to allow for a 5'-0"setback on the East and West side setbacks,along with a 4'-10" <br /> height variance to accommodate an elevator room for roof accessibility and trellis areas for sun <br /> protection. <br /> What is perhaps most relevant here,and what we would ask the board to consider,is(1)the fact that we <br /> have the support of the two adjacent side-neighbors and the neighbor directly across the street(please see <br /> attached letters in the formal submission package);(2)the extra space requested will have a significant <br /> impact on the Owner's quality of life as his health condition deteriorates;(3)the proposed project will be <br /> an improvement to the neighborhood and will very likely result in an overall increase in property value <br /> and tax base created by said improvement;and(4)the variance does not go beyond the minimum <br /> necessary to afford relief and accessibility for the Owner and will be in no way detrimental to public <br /> health or safety. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Gi rg4o Lostao <br /> C eative Director <br /> Ridiculous Design LLC. <br /> (312)610-2692 <br /> giurgio(u ridiculousdesign.com <br /> www.ridiculousdesign.com <br /> RECEIVED <br /> MAR ? 2021 <br /> 1279 cEz1—03 <br /> PLANNING & ZONING DEPT. <br /> City of Sunny Isles Beach: FL <br />
