Vera <br />Zoning & Code Administrator <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />17070 Collins Avenue <br />Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 <br />Re: Williams Island Ocean Club & Resort / Request for Waiver of <br />Moratorium to Permit Modifications to Resolution No. 98 -Z -17 <br />Dear Mr. Vera: <br />This shall constitute a request for a waiver of the zoning hearing moratorium submitted to <br />the City of Sunny Isles Beach (the "City ") on behalf of Williams Island Ocean Club, Inc. <br />( "Williams Island "), in connection with the Williams Island Ocean Club and Resort located at <br />17875 Collins Avenue, and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the <br />"Property ") <br />The waiver of the moratorium is being requested to allow for the modification of Item #6 <br />of Resolution No. 98 -Z -17 (the "Resolution ") by the City Commission on January 21, 1999 (the <br />"Meeting Date ") or, in the alternative, to enable the City Commission to consider the issuance of <br />a temporary certificate of occupancy. City staff specifically indicated that its initial suggestion is <br />for Williams Island to seek to amend Item #6 of the Resolution to provide for the issuance of a <br />temporary certificate of occupancy ( "TCO ") for the Property. However, we reserve the right to <br />modify the specific nature of the request, subject to further discussion with City staff. <br />Please note, while we believe that this request is unnecessary and the City is empowered <br />to issue the TCO without a public hearing to amend the Resolution, this request is being <br />submitted to the City in an abundance of caution. In submitting this request, Williams Island does <br />not waive its objections. <br />GREENBERG TRAURIG, P.A. <br />1221 BRICKELL AVENUE MIAMI, FLORIDA 33131 <br />305 - 579 -0500 FAX 305 - 579 -0717 www.gtlaw.com <br />\ MIAMI NEW YORK WASHINGTON, D.C.
