Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting September 20,2012 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida Marianna Talalaevsky asked about the zero setback, and inquired on which side of the property is it located. She indicated it is right next to the Chabad Center and asked how is it going to affect it? Mr. Karp said it is notched in so they can accommodate and create more green space and open vista creating more of an open view to look onto the water. Mr. Karp said they had met with the Chabad. and with City staff. Rabbi Alexander Kaller said they did meet previously but this zero setback is new, and he does not remember discussing it. He wants to know how it would relate to his fixture community center, and there is a concern that they will overpower them. Mr. Karp said the pedestal meets the setback, and what they did was to increase the setback. By doing so, this increased the setback off the pedestal and came closer to the tower. By increasing the pedestal, it created a greater vista. City Attorney Ottinot asked the City Clerk to read the title of the TDRs Resolution into the record.
