Summary Minutes:City Commission workshop Meeting July 8,2002 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 5) A housekeeping type of issue — in the MUR there is a whole section dealing with parking and loading spaces and we are recommending that that portion be moved into the parking section of the Code. Vice Mayor Iglesias: At the last workshop we had discussed the rear setbacks and what happens to the lots that are south of Sunny Isles Boulevard on the bulkhead line, (on page 26) and are now discussing the Interior side setbacksNiew Corridors. Vice Mayor Iglesias wants to discuss side setbacks (see page 27) and add #3 for those parcels adjacent to a public park 5-feet side setback minimum separation. With respect to Maxitniun Building Width on (f), proposing that you have 1 and 2 for lots that are over 150 feet and under 150 feet. Also only for buildings that are within the same lot. For those buildings exceeding two stories or twenty (20) feet in height: if they are allowing for a lot of separation then you may add two feet for each building separation exceeding 100-feet not to exceed the required side setback. On page 28: Floor Area Ratio: section 2(d): "Floor space ini interior balconies or mezzanines." add "and that portion of structures which exceed 20-feet above grade not used for required parking" Put the next section 2(e) (top of page 29) under Floor area does not include:. Joseph Milton suggested including a concern that the parking on the west side should also not count within the FAR. Commissioner Goodman commented that the use of the west side of Collins Avenue for parking can pose significant public traffic safety problems. Stanley Price, Esq. sought to clarify what Vice Mayor Iglesias said. City Manager Russo: commented on Joseph Milton's issue 'regarding the parking garages across, on the west side of the street. One of the things that we just went through are our impact fees. When you allow west side parking there are additional impacts for: Police services, and otherwise and that is why we should clarify that if we are going to allow west side parking for all the reasons that Joseph Milton mentioned, it should be clear that the impact fees apply separately to that facility. It is in a separate location than the parking that is physically within the residential building. Vice Mayor Iglesias: Page 33 (l) Subdivision of Hotels and Motels. Section (1) Definitions: a) "subdivision of a hotel or motel' shall mean the sale, conveyance, or long-term lease or sublease (for more than six (6)months)of five percent (5%) or more of the units in a hotel or motel by the same seller, lessor or sublessor. Regarding the 5% rule, Shelley today said that we shouldn't have any and Vice Mayor Iglesias feels it should be brought up to 35% because this is very difficult to enforce and
