Releasing the restriction contained in that certain Agreement dated August 30, 1954, recorded in Deed Book 3972, Page 328 of the Public Records requiring that the improvements to the property described therein be limited to a duplex and terminating the Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the Second Amended LOI as Exhibit "0". The total acreage of the Property is 1.55 acres with a total number of square feet of 67,337. The request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the corresponding Low to Medium Density Residential Land use category which perm its up to 13 townhome units per acres as provided in S 265-32(A) of the Code. Section 265-32(B)(4) of the Code, Permitted Uses, allows townhouse dwellings of three or more attached dwellings with multiple ownerships. The Project will consist of four buildings. with five units in each building. Consequently, there will be eight end units and twelve interior units. None of the buildings or units will exceed the 45' height limitation. The current plans provide for each unit to have a roof terrace. Each unit will have its own driveway leading to Atlantic Boulevard and a pedestrian entrance through a landscaped yard accessed through security gates with a code access system. It is proposed that there will be individual garbage pick ups along the street. The proposed architectural style is Mediterranean, with defined volumes and generous glazing, resulting in an improvement to the urban environment. The units will be conveyed by the Owner in fee simple to the ultimate purchasers of the units. The foregoing is consistent with the intent of the district as it provides an increased variety of housing types while maintaining the residential neighborhood character of existing districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policy of promoting and sustaining the formation of an "urban village."

FPL subsequently amended said letter by replacing it with a new letter dated August 6,2007, whereby FPL agreed to release the existing easement if the Owner provides a 10' easement at the front of the Property at Owner's expense for location of underground facilities. but said easement does not need to be exclusive. A copy of said amended letter from FPL is at1ached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A." .
