toma design group inc. 20900 N.E. 30th Ave, Suite # 1001, Aventura, FL, 33180 T. 786-206-7290 / F. 1305 425 0327 / info@tomadesigngroup.com Project Description and Applicant's Vision The proposed project involves the construction of a 2 -story single-family residence on the Property. The new home will have a unit size of 6,745 sq. ft. on an 11,250 sq. ft. lot, with a beautiful modern curb appeal and focus on modern architecture. The design for this modern 2 -story home on N. Bay Rd features a stunning double -height entrance with exquisite material selection and design. The refined marble accents, glass, and vertical dark aluminum cladding accents blur lines and distinctly set the house apart. The front vertical aluminum slats are cladding the Vt story garage volume setting the 2nd story volume as a floating independent element creating a framed 2nd floor with beautiful front balconies with views toward N Bay Rd and rear balconies to the western water view. All of these elements bring warmth and modernity to the exterior while offering privacy to the 1st and 2nd floor areas of the interior space. For the rear design, the same aesthetic is maintained with consistent use of materials and a covered terrace that includes a 2nd -floor balcony parallel to the rear property line. Large glass sliding door panels bring water views, greenery, and vegetation into the interior space, seamlessly integrating the pool and pool deck and extending the view to the intracoastal and bay area. The project also features a roof terrace designed to maximize the exposure to the open water views of the bay and intracoastal, this concept is for this roof terrace to be accessed from the exterior of the home only. The applicant's goal is to build a beautiful modern home surrounded by tropical vegetation that blends well with its surroundings. The location is ideal, with plenty of open green space across the street on N. Bay Rd and quiet streets that allow the house to take a back seat to the natural landscape while still enjoying water views and a natural setting close to the heavy traffic areas. Zoning Variance Requested: The project is in compliance with the Development Code of the City except for the request of a minor side setback variance along the 150 length of the North side property line. Of the 150 feet long property length, we are requesting only a small 6 feet of that 150 feet to be granted a 4 feet encroachment. Specifically, the Applicant is requesting the following variance: We are seeking a zoning variance to increase the maximum allowable building side setback for only a 6 feet portion of the north side, to place a spiral stair case for needed access to proposed roof terrace space. Criteria points: based on variance standards of review, here below are our particular case items: A. The variance side setback requested is not for the main building being built. The North side, where the main buildings North fagade is located, has a setback that is more than the required 7'-6", the approved main home has an additional 2 feet of separation from property line for a total setback separation of 9'- 6". The side setback request is only for a spiral staircase that would be placed against the North fagade and only the stair case would be encroaching into the side set back, for a total of only 4 feet of the total stair case width, not the entire width would be encroaching, leaving clear circulation space of 3.5 feet between proposed spiral stair case and side property line. The length of the side property is 150 feet long, of those 150 feet, the 4 -foot variance is only for the small foot print of spiral stair case, which has a width of only 6 feet of the total length of the 150 feet of the lot length. We are not seeking any other element or feature of the home to encroach in this request. 123
