Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give would be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Yes. Yes. Thank you very much. Mr. Chair, all yours. Excellent. Then I would turn it over to Lordeys. If we could please have the first item. First item for review this morning's DRB, 2024-026, applicants, Zeng Ma, property owner, Lima Groove Investments, LLC, location 6623 Southwest 52nd Terrace. The request is for new construction to story. Can you hear me all right? Yes. Thank you. Okay. With that said, we are within the RS3 zoning district. This is an interior law and the north side of 52nd Terrace within the RS-3, a two-story residence, required section 20-3.5H. That's the dimensional requirement. It also confirms with that width of the lot. RS3 requires a 75 foot frontage. We're at 68.15. However, all of the criteria meets section 23.5 H. Two stories. We have the allowables at 30, 44.7 for the FAR and 47.5 for maximum impervious. It underwent development review committee on June 25th. We have landscape by register landscape architect Alejandro J. Perez and We have the architecture also by registered architect. Those are the highlights of this site as far as the landscaping we have seven existing trees on the site including tree number three. If Lorde Haali, that should be removed because it's an invasive tree. There's a minimum of three required. As far as the swell area, there's five new trees, including two live oak trees at 12 feet in height, to be planted along 52nd terrors. There are two trees required based on that, with that fronted at 68.15. Staff's recommendations for approval with the following conditions to submit a true removal application with the planning and zoning department, submit an erosion construction plan for the building permit set, and any comments and suggestions from the board. So you can see that is the front facade plan for the building permit set and any comments and suggestions from the board. So you can see that is the front facade, that the architect will elaborate on its design and material choices. Thank you. Welcome everyone, the architect and the whom one are both present. Excellent. If we could have a presentation from the applicant. Okay. My name is Shin. I can introduce this project from the aesthetic perspective. So as you can see on the screen, this is the front view rendering. This design, use the modern staggered box approach. We use the overhand box to create a shaded entryway. So overall, the design we are doing is trying to minimize excessive decoration, arming to create a calm and grounded design. So you can see the ground box here is the two car grouch. We placed the gr garage door on the side of this, on the side to create a more community friendly design. And also later on the floor plan, you will see that we use this garage structure to hide the outdoor equipment to keep the things neat and tidy. So for privacy, we tried to minimize the large window on this facade. As for the material where I primarily use tack-out panels with the light looking and paired with white darker wall and we use a small area of the plain tack-out to add detail. So on the next page, this is a view from the east side. We introduced a central courtyard into the design to bring more naturalized and landscape views into the interior. So when you enter the house from the main entrance, you can also see this courtyard immediately. We try to give the houses a sense of flow and openness and allow tree shadows and a folic to visually merge the vis every corner of this house. On the second floor, there's a balcony where the residence can step out. They even can touch the tree leaves rather than just looking to the neighbor's yard. So over the time, you can experience the girls of the tree leaves rather than just looking to the neighbor's yard. So over the time you can experience the growth of the tree. So the fusion of the architecture and the natural arms to create the ever-changing atmosphere throughout the day and the seasons. This is a backyard view. Let's go to the next page also. The backyard is designed to keep the family entertainment. There's a pool and a barbecue grill. To maximize the pool view, the first floor of the stuff front can fully open. And on the second floor, we install the glass railing for uninterrupted look. We use the CM-PEC-UD panels and a white star core to maintain the consistency. So from the landscape, we are trying to preserve as many existing trees as possible. We the trees and shrubs to meet the code requirement. And we add a gamba limbo tree in the central yard for the visual appeal. And we add very dense shrubs to protect our client and our neighbor's privacy. So in the end, I want to emphasize, on South Miami is the all- all age and family oriented area. It has cache cache Miami vibe. Our goal is not just to design a functional home, but an environment that inspires comfort and create connections with the strong things. It's a residence that embraces this context in every aspect of the design. So this is, I think this covers the aesthetic perspective. So do you want me to introduce the plan? We can go to the first start to see the material we're using. So this is the tech wood where I just mentioned in the rendering. And this is a painting stock wall. We also use a clear glass car rail and the impact window everywhere. Here this is the front facade. We're using the solid wood pivot door and in the, we also use the composite wood finish grouch door to, to try to conceal the grouch door. And basically, I mentioned this material in the rendering. Any questions? Oh, this is John. So I'm home owner. So I just want to have a quick presentation to my architect also. So, so this is our home. Like it's located in semi urban, urban semi urban South Miami neighbor. Like South Miami is known for its leafy residential neighbors and aiming to integrate with local landscapes. So we ask our architect to design like a U-shape with two volumes of different scales. So that way we can have like a courtyard and it can connect all the each space and in the courtyard we have like natural landscape and it can connect all the each space and in the courtyard we have like natural landscape and it can like you know can merge together and it becomes like a key design element. So emphasizing the garden views and interior elements so the naturalized to virtually merge with like every corner of the house and Also the the courtyard can provide like a better natural ventilation for our family to use it and the natural lights So we want to create like like ever changing atmosphere like during the season and the day so like our families can enjoy their together and also a family friendly atmosphere is our priority to have our architect to design for our family so she designed like two levels functions ground level is like social editors like leaving rooms dining kitchen and the second floor is that most of them is like three bedrooms and master bedrooms and also a family room. So around the courtyard, so all the functions facing the courtyard and also the backyard, the natural. So we want them to have like, you know, pride and intimate relationship with the nature, with all the spaces. So my architects, like she designed, not just consider to offer a functional house, also to inspire the comfort and connection with the natural surroundings, to embrace and celebrate the context for her design. And we love her design. Thank you. Hello. Hi. Yeah. I think we've finished our introduction. I finished. Yeah. Excellent. If that concludes your presentation, we'll go ahead and open this to public comment. Is there anyone in chambers around Zoom that wishes to comment on this item? There's nobody in chambers but staff. And seeing no one on Zoom, we'll go ahead and close public comment and let's go ahead and open it up to the board. Mr. Carau, I've had it? Yes, sir You really want to start with me Let's get it out of the way okay, so let's begin with with the arbor's report It's a is one of the most incomplete arbor's report that I've seen When I receive an arbor's report I want to hear and see what is his recommendation, what is the quality of the tree, if the tree is good for relocation, if the tree is good for to remain and so forth, that's nothing there from that aspect. That is the only way that we can judge and make a determination if when the city arborist goes there that they work hand in hand. Excuse me. Excuse me. Through the chair if I may. Yes, yes. Through the chair if I may. Yes, go ahead. The tree removal or relocation that process has not started with this item. So. Oh, ex. has not started with this item. So I treat arborists is not even required for submittal to the ERPB. So. I understand that. But if they are going to make an arborist report, that's in my hands. I'm going to follow that. Otherwise, don't submit an arborist report. And that's the issue. I'm glad that they're an arborist issue. I'm glad the data nervous report. I'm glad that it showed it. But the fact is, there's incomplete our report. How are we going to make a judgment if we don't see what the Arborist recommendation could be? Because falling to some purposes, when I get into the landscape plan now, I'm going to ask this question. Is the landscape architect by the way here? No. No. Well, that's another mistake because I would like to have asked questions. So here we go. At the end, the service should have shown a chart that says tree op-on with the height, the spread and the caliber of tree. That's what I don't expect him to put the name of the plants because he will know. That's the landscape architect job to go out there identify the tree and because you did an arbiter before which I commend you highly because that's one thing that is very important. Then we can make an adjustment whether they're true what kind of tree it is but that's typical in standard. I check the survey, they have all the spider elevation around the corners and all of every 20 feet. So that aspect, good as the good as for checking on that. Great. Now, going back to now to the aspect of the, of the, of the, of the, of the civil, we could go to the civil plans, and then I'll get back to the landscape architect. We can go to the civil plants and a couple of things here. Because of the fact that Enluidus picked it up when she said there's a tree, the Florida Holly is an invasive. You got a lot of trees that are either on the property line or in the neighbor's site. That's going to be an issue because if the trees on the neighbor's site that means you cannot counter towards your requirements. Number one, number two, if it is on the property line, I recommend that you talk to your neighbor because that's going to take a big effect especially where you have your drain field and septic tag right next to a node tree in the front. What's going to happen to those roots? You're going to have to cut them off. So two things are going to happen. Either you're going to have to talk to your neighbor next door about relocating that tree there, the oak tree, plus you have a gumball limbo, and the fact that you have a serious problem with your roots. This is what I was hoping the Arbys would have shown how big of the root system is. Look at every Arbys that I've used. I have asked them to give me the critical root zones and so forth so we can make a determination whether that treatment cut off the roots 30%, 25% whatever it is, all to be relocated to avoid issues like this on the septic tank and grain fuel. Because if you leave it, many of you dig that hole. Goodbye. Second of all, on the civil. My understanding is that you have to be five feet away from every property line. You show three feet four I don't know if that was intentional if that was Part of the drain field that that should be moved over So those are the things that I would like for the architect to talk to his civil engineer and find out whether that is correct or not Okay, in fact, we probably have it. we have one of the best civil engineers here right now on the day of today. Another day is an application. And so when I looked at that, I said, OK, that's one issue. Second of all, you don't show any drinks, any soil areas. How do you connect the water? How do you stop the water from going from your house to the neighbors' property? I see absolutely no spot elevations anywhere from that aspect. So for only decent purpose of how the water's running into people's property, which you're supposed to contain. On top of that, we know that slabs on the architects, when you do a house of 25 hundred square feet or whatever, the garage is usually poor last or separate because it is a step down. Recommendation. Think you ought to look about sloping from the back to the front at least 1% in case you have to clean the garage floor that water can come out. Right now the way you're putting it is all flat and it's going to be an issue. That's just a recommendation just for you to follow. Okay. Yeah. So The next thing is and I'm glad the owner mentioned about picking up the breezes the light and so forth Because that's going to be very important for that courtyard and the house. I happen to like the house the the way it's designed, considering the amount of narrow it is, and you're limited, okay? I'd all leave that to my architect to make his comment. He may not agree with me, but as far as the part of the civil, he's got to show all that. So to me, this is another incomplete, and let me just say why? You only come here one time. One time only. So we approve it. And this, as I see, is incomplete. It falls now on staff to really check on all of that. This is the one way. This is a one area where we can give you all kinds of recommendations and things that are missing But we need to understand it in order to make it approve and pass on So have your civil take a look at that And one second, I've got a little bit. The other thing is now let's go to the landscape. Oh, make sure that you show the visibility to triangle coming out of the driver, which is important. So I wish the landscape artistichoke. And my issue is that he is saying on his plans to retain the invasive tree of Florida Hollywood. I am shocked that a landscape art day would even consider in keeping that Florida Hollywood. If you have read the codes, you would have known that that tree has to come out. Luda should not have to tell them that. And for the same thing with the arborist, that doesn't have an invasive tree, that should also be removed. This is what we look for on professional applications. So you're going to have problems with the root system and so forth. You're going to have problems. The tree mitigation should be called really predisposition because according to the plant, you're not mitigating anything. You're keeping all the trees. And if you're going to give you credit for it, why do we need a tree mitigation? So you need to treat this precision plant that those trees are going to remain with any proper calculation. On the street side you're putting an 18-foot high oak trees to rip it. That's a very expert this is now suggested very expensive. Why would you have used some trees on your property also to create some shades especially from the east side in the morning and you could have played off for that. That whole side on the east has absolutely no tricks. So my next question would be not having the information of the next more than the adjacent property. Are there any trees along there that would have created something over cost problems. See, guys, and forgive me, but when you look at our site, you also have to take take consideration everything around you, back front, side, and so forth, so that you know how that's going to affect your design. So, and this is again your call from the aspect of what the gentleman has been calling for seven gallons, six feet high, uh, eugenious. No such animal. You have to go to the fifteen gallon because the six, the seven gallon is only about three feet high. If you, if you're going to follow the six foot high type of plant, Marcus needs to know whether you're planting six feet or you're putting a seven gallon that's going to be four feet because I guarantee you when he goes out there he's going to check that plant on the trees and the strawberries that make an impact to that site. And so what happens many times is you do a landscape plan, Marcus made the job is to make sure all the trees are there. And as far as the shrubbery is concerned, you can make changes. So all the sun is going to say to you, we need to ask bills. We need to ask bill. We want to know what were the main changes. Not all the sun you change the entire integrity of the design the origin was there. This is why I don't believe in a one-coming-year system so that we always can see and be able to provide the the commissaries required. So the clues your trees. Good luck to finding them at 18 feet high. You might be able to find them but you're going to pay through the nose. Every yolk that you have in front, you're going to pay it around roughly, it's $900 a piece. You're going to be paying around $2,000 for the yolk. Same thing for the gumbo limbo, because they're 18 feet high. Man, I'm going to pay $2,000, $3,000 and put the minimum amount that I can on my street side so that at least that also gives you time to grow but give the impact to your home. Then he uses monstera deliciosa, water-loving plant, but then he's got a pack of hatchy grass in the Ugenia. They don't require that much water, that's a whole purpose. But you can have to be watering that monster up, which means eventually that will die or get very leaky from that aspect. And you can have to replace it with something else. Because I know that the landscape contract is going to see it. It's going to come back to you to say, that's not going to work. So I'm giving you all this information. So you understand from that aspect. And I'm going to stop there. I think I said it enough. That's it. Very well. I'm very thorough. Mr. Sprada. Okay. I think the art actually design works very well. I think I like the way the layout works. Only problem I have is the front is just very unfriendly. It's almost like you're turning your back to the neighborhood. So very unfriendly, you know, we're talking about harmony with the neighborhood. If you look at all the other houses, they're very approachable, friendly, dispossession this. I think you need to do something about the front. I understand your architectural concept of blocks which simply doesn't give you a friendly dispossession. I think you need to either break up the volume or introduce more openings or Do some better articulation of the entrance entryway so that it's a little bit more breaking and breaking it up But somehow you need to do something with it The I appreciate the fact that you turn the garage entrance to the side so you don't see it. You don't see the garage doors from the street. And I think in the central courtyard and all that is beautifully done. But I wish the front reflected the same architectural spirit as the rest of the building. And the other thing I noticed is that there's a barrier, there's a front wall, the property wall. Is that something that's part of the design or just something that's shown? I mean, the landscape shows metal fence and then the architecture and the interior solid wall. So that's another element that tells people that get away from here. You're not you're not invited to this area. So all that little thing adds to the unfriendliness or to the turning the back to the neighborhood and feeling to me as present and concerned. So those are my main concern. And I think the design works very well. Other ways. Thank you. And I think the design works very well, otherwise. Thank you. On the landscape plan, just a minor thing that I saw, the key for key map, there's a cover page as a key map that shows 50 seconds treat, which is not correct, I don't think. But that, yes, that's just a technical type of graph I think it's a 54th Street or a 52nd Street. Oh okay. The heat plan the first sheet first sheet first the sheet. First the sheet. Okay. So that's 57th sheet. I don't think that's 15th sheet. I mean, that's 56. Okay. That's 66th. No. 67th is the vertical. Anyway, take a look at that. Yeah, we'll check that. That's Miller Road. And that's Miller Road. Let me ask about on-frontally. So if we are at great more opening and have the user and have more interactive with the street, you think that is more friendly, right? Well, I mean, you know, right now it's like, what is the entrance? You know, it's a two blocks, two boxes sitting on top of each other. So, yeah. Of all we changed that to the glass. Yeah. Right. The column or a whole little creed, a little palticle or something like that. So that, so some articulation, maybe the garage is too imposing or a small building that's, you want to be part of a neighborhood. So that's something that you need to work on. I don't want to design it for you, but I'm just telling you what I think is happening in my mind. Right? So I put the list through the chair. If I may, this is Lordeus for the record, the physical variant front that's solid white that you saw that is four feet in height the the physical barrier that would the landscape landscape plan shows metal we want to do like a CMU like full feet high yeah like a little bit lower. I think the landscape I got a greaser a wall. Yeah So you high All right, so that's all my time Thank you, Sabrina One second before just consider this if you are going to do a wall, considering the footing and the proximity to the drain field. Just just to check on that. Okay. Okay. Let's cheer about Rida. Is that me? Yes, sir. I love your house. I love your house. I love the design. I haven't enjoyed a design like that for a while. I was looking at it last night and I love the player of the values. The geometry is excellent. The floor plan, the layout, the part is super nice. The house looks really massive from the outside, but as you come in, you know, you have this courtyard framing that tree, which I'm sure you're going to bring beautiful, beautiful sunlight, natural lighting to the house. So I can imagine, you know, being in that terrace, looking at the tree. Very much like Luis Barragán Hals in the city of Mexico where he blocks the whole entire city and you can see the tree. So every moment that you guys did, I enjoyed. I love this house. And I think that my wife is always looking to kind of like privatize the house from the outside and I'm looking to open the house so I understand she's rather comment about, you know, the unpreying facade. But I do like it. I think it's an approach, you know, some people go one way, some people go the other way. So I was looking at the plan, if you look at your floor plan, you have, as you enter on the right-hand side, that one will back and one, and then on the left, the same size volume for the non-reoff is, and I know the bathroom, and they are twin, twin shapes. I think they're all the same length and width. I think, I mean, again, I'm not also not trying to suggest any two-tier house because I really leave it as is, but if you were to open up with the side, your office, your office, you'd have the window to the front or you'd give those areas, you would make this to be very happy. And not changing your material house. But again, I like your houses, I like everything about it. Can you go to the elevations? To the flat elevations for many? On this side, I think stage 13 okay yeah I'm not sure if your office windows is actually too low to small in contrast as a bottom of the page you mean you mean this window? no office will be there oh here this one yeah I think it bigger There. Oh, here. This one. Yeah. Yeah. It seems a little bit shallow for in contrast to the window to the left, which I believe is a kitchen window. I'm thinking of the dining room. that maybe there is just an issue there. This look like our 60-toil door. So, you know, it's a bit interesting. Yeah, they look a little bit out of importance. So I'm not sure you may want to check that. Okay. And then I think you're up or left inside wind and so-so, higher than the wrist. I don't know if that's intentional. That's what the glass like to up to the ceiling, exactly. So that way when you have a shower view, it looks amazing. That's my wife she wants something like that. I was looking at the top. This is a top. A top, yeah. So it might be actually, I was looking at the top. Yeah, so it might be actually I was looking at that it might be a little bit too high for the top but maybe that's a privacy thing I think at two foot or two foot six you know from the floor you know but it just it just looked a little bit odd but I understand I think in regards to your drain field, I think the plants show like three feet to the property line. And I think this health department is going to require five feet set back there. Yeah. I believe that you may have room between the house, the place of the garage to to maybe move it right. Yeah, I think it's probably the civil engineers, maybe they, one they put the base, probably they mess up a little bit. Yeah, so if your septic tank is, I mean, if your drain fuel is up to here, you have plenty of room. I have a lot of fire feed. Yeah, you need to fight feed on each side. Yeah. And actually, Mariano with the wall, I went to the easy my house. The wall will help retain the rain water. They don't want your rain water to go off. To look into the drain, so that three foot four needs to be flat. They don't want your rainwater to go off into the drain That three foot four needs to be But when you put a wall they actually recommend me so I understand what you're saying except that's only long-for-all the health department I'm very glad. Yes Yeah, yeah Right, right. That's you know, that's exactly what I went through and I. I think you should be able to fix that easy. The biggest concern here is that I have a room, but I think you have plenty of room. So I'm not concerned about that. I look like something that you can adjust. The other question is, I'm looking here. Are you viscly with triangles as a property line, which I do think that are correct. I usually do both. I don't know if in the future. I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's a lot of things that I think it's have to be careful. Oh, it's your question, I'll be right, I'm sorry. The maximum height of the visibility triangle I think is 30 inches. 30 inches. Yeah, so if you do a four-foot wall, you cannot have the visibility triangle. Okay, so it has to be on both sides like on either property line and also the right away. It's something. If in the future, if in the future the city was to do a sidewalk, you need to be able to see people coming down the sidewalk, the baby kid running or whatever you need to know so so but that's again that's easy to fix you can adjust the height of your wall at that point. Okay. Yeah. And that's fine. But overall, I think I love your house. Thank you. Everything about it, I know. Thank you. Oh, one more thing. So for the, like the civil drawings, they're showing like a slope. They have a section. So they, they, they slope in the middle of our property. So is that working because, uh, from the cold check, the civil engineer checking is only need, uh, the stone water, uh, like drain, drain plants. So that's why he only pride, pride in the, uh, the paving and grading plant, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, these sections are fine. I think that shows the intent sometimes. Like you know, some people get away, we're just showing the section, but Mariano, you know, Mariano usually likes to see, you know, how the water drains inward into, you know, to a space sort of like that. And that, you know, and create the spaces like the water and I going out of the property but leave the property and also away from the house so you have to create a diversion at that point and think it's important to see it because if you have a swimming pool that requires a full-foot training away from the pool, you want, we want to make sure that you have adequate business from those elements like swimming pool, from the pool. We want to make sure that you have adequate distance from those elements, like swimming pool, from the drain field, to the property line that you have enough space to drain to the middle point. So, so. Okay. So the drain curve will be good because the health department on when you have soils, you have to be 15 feet away from the drain field, which is the other ludicrous from from their aspect, but I'm just letting you know You're gonna experience this Yeah, yeah, we have another project have this So you know, so you know yeah, 10 feet actually the new code For the new system actually for the news is okay, yeah, since they changed the new septic system right? Yeah. Okay. But, you know, I don't have anything else. You know, again, I enjoyed your approach to design. It's amazing, so it's pretty good. Thank you. Thank you. Very well, and my apologies vice chair. I had Agostín barreira on my mind who served on this board before as you know and serves on the planning as well thank you vice chair byana I think my colleagues have covered it all and and in detail my only concerns that what I had is just you know coordinating the utilities with that drainfield it is a tight site and between the landscaping the drainfield and the utilities coming in we want to make sure that we we protect those so with that said can we have a motion? Make a motion to approve with comments? Do we have a second. Can we have a second? Okay, I'll second for discussion. Go ahead, any further discussion? We know that the comments are being incorporated. Does it come back to us or not? It does not come back to us. So if we deny it, it doesn't come back to us. Board members, remember that this board, when looking at single family homes, these are recommendations and your comments will be incorporated as recommendations that will then ultimately fall on members of our planning and zoning department to work with the applicant to incorporate them to and to bring forward. So at the end of the day at this point this is recommendation and your feedback is helpful and the comments are helpful for staff and evaluating this project as it moves along. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you very much for your application. Please take all the comments into account and work with staff to complete a beautiful project. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, well, a beautiful project. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, well, well. Love. Thank you. Thank you. Excellent. So we just leave the meeting or yes, unless you wish to participate. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Rivera, we can have the next item, please. Second item for review this morning is DRB-2024-28. Applicant Ramels Martinez Architects, Property Owner, GNSLC, Location, 6775, Southwest 64 Street, New construction one story. I'll ask the architect to please put up the rendering and the screen. The one story facade is within the RS3 zoning district. It complies with section and is governed under section 20-3.5e dimensional requirements for single family residential one story. We have a lot size of 17,250 square feet. The frontage is 150 feet, which exceeds the 75 minimum requirement on RS3. Again, it does meet the 20% community of width of both side yards. That's clearly indicated on the cipelet, the cicep acts, also as far as the building, maximum 35% is allowed. The impervious is at Propulsive 48.69 and the allowable is 50. We have the elevations shown up on the screen. I'll let the architect discuss the materials and paint color and design, architectural design, the DRC development review committee met on September 10th. As far as the landscaping, we have not submitted for a true removal yet. Obviously that would be a condition. We have the treacher that indicates a treason total. However, there's one paper flowers that appears to be on the adjacent property. That's tre number one on the bottom left-hand corner. That's on the neighbors. And then we have tre number nine along the swale that we need to know if it's invasive or not. So with that said, there are three trees on the site, which three are required. But we do need to determine that one tree to see we have four trees on the soil area or five. So the shortage, we need to know what's happening with tree number nine to find out the trees shortage along the soil. So with that said, Stavz's recommendation is for tree number nine or could to be determinative and invasive or not and provide the required number of street trees based on section 24.5 F4 B table A, submitted to removal application, submit an erosion construction control plan for building and provide the correct open space with Warman matching the site plan. As we know, that's the difference of the impervious and any comments and suggestions from the board. Thank you. Welcome. I believe Martinez was sworn in and she is changing the screen. Good morning. Welcome. Good morning. For some reason I can't turn to my camera back on. It says the host has stopped that but I'm I'm sharing my screen. I'm assuming you can see it. We can see your screen. We don't see your image. We did earlier. Yep. I was trying to get back on and it gives me a message that says post has not allowed you to turn it off. I'm not just granted access. You may go home. OK. Let me see if I can do it now. There we go. OK. Let me get my screen back on. There we go. Okay. Let me get my screen back on. Can you see my screen? Yes. Well, is that your screen or is that? Yes. Yes. That is the second. I'm scrolling up and down. Okay. This is a one story single family home is owned by a group of investors, though they're made, though one of the investors may be looking at keeping it for himself, but it is for now a spec home. It is a one story home and their intention to us or their message to us was to provide a wide elevation to sort of give a long frontage to the property along 64th, a no-64th is highly traffic and would like to take advantage of the full width of the property while at the same time creating a very cozy interior with the courtyard and the pool where the main rooms are facing that courtyard. So our intent was a very minimalist elevation along 64th with ample glass and openings to allow as much light in and also with an array of materials from Oolite around the kitchen with the linear window to a more private entry door smooth stuck or throughout and then the idea of creating ample parking without being too obstrucive to allow parking along the front of the house. So we provided a two car garage and a two car car port in front of it. So the owners or the eventual owners could store as many as four cars without it looking too busy along the street and populating the front of the house with cars. As we go through the plan, the idea was to create all of the quiet, open sleeping areas on one side and the more common areas on the other, a very simple division of uses, while both are enjoying the courtyard with the pool. It's a very basic planet. It isn't a complicated plan but as you can see there's a spine that connects everything from the cars all the way to the bedrooms in the center of the building and that becomes your main traffic area. This would be the elevation and here you can see the use of the Oolite and the covered cardboard bear. Our material palette is a very simple one. You know a clean white stucco. The frames of the windows would be dark, you know, as their metal and represent the metal. So between the wood, the Oolite, the stucco, and the metal frames of the windows, our palette would remain extremely simple. There was a question in reference to tree number nine, and let me see if I can zoom into it. It is a Hong Kong orchid, as we identified it, which is this tree right here. As far as we can tell, we researched we researched it is not an invasive tree. It is pretty healthy as you drive along 64th there's ample landscaping here. Most of it is just in front of the existing house which is this collection of trees from 13, 27, 15. They're not necessarily large trees, the larger trees are along the soil. So our intention is in the, in the land, in the tree disposition plan, is to relocate those smaller trees to, well, this is a little smaller, those smaller trees towards the rear of the property. So it's our intention to move these as far back as we can so that they're out of the way. Of the new footprint of the of the of the house. And I'm I'm here to answer any questions if you have any in reference to the design of the house. Thank you if that concludes your presentation. We'll go ahead and open this to public comment. Do we have anybody in chambers or on Zoom? No, I have to comment on this item. There's nobody in chambers but staff. And seeing no one in Zoom, we'll go ahead and close back. Okay. And go to our board. Mr. Crow. Lord, remember Crow. Did he step away? I've been muted. Oh, you're muted. Yeah, hang on one second. I lost my video here. You might be able a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. Anyway, let me fix it all somewhere on the line. In question to what the architect just said, Hong Kong market is considered an invasive tree. And I just made sure just to verify, because I've always considered that. But nowadays, everything gets changing very quickly. Excuse me, through the chair. Hong Kong market is an invasive tree in the city's land development code. It is Gregor Marcus. Yeah. I'm the one issue I have is not the fall of the architect for really our code. It's the fact that with all the respect, sir, if I were to start asking you a question about landscaping materials and so forth, I think you might have, you might be a real answer a few things, but you might not be able to answer all the things. Am I correct? You are correct, Mario. So I wish my code, you are allowed to do a landscape design. And so my next step is do you comply, do you understand the usage of the plan material in reference to what you have proposed here for this home. And I have to say that I'm having a tough time understanding it to be quite right for you. I'm not sure if you meet the requirement palm trees do not count as as part of the native requirements in terms of the monotrophysic that you can have, you can have about palm trees. They count towards 30%. The only palm tree that really is sacred is a stable palm. And that was because Mayor started a past of law about seven years ago, eight years ago. So here's what I'm going to do. You need to fill out that chart that you have of the existing mitigation chart, what each of the trees are, palm trees and so forth. And then you need to look at the house in terms of the location of all the palm trees and so forth, how your footing, drive ways and so forth is going to affect the root system for those trees. Technically, you provide the minimum requirement. Three trees, 30 strokes. So because it's a single family home, and you're allowed to do this, the only thing I'm going to request is that you do get someone to help you to the front of the hole to add a little bit of more animation in terms of the ground covers second second tier and third tier so that at least you bring in the entire home into cohesiveness. I like the house. That's me. Again, maybe my other board members may not be disagreeable with me, but I really like the volume of the house. I like the fact that the way that horizontally works, even though this kind of is modern, it reminds me of Freclerc right from the perspective of the horizontal look from that aspect. That's all I got to say. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Board Member Crub, where I'm a supporter. Yeah, and I like the design of the house. It's very animated, very broken up. It's not a massive. So I really don't have any major comments to go forward. Thanks. Very good. And vice chair by Anna. Good morning morning Daniel. Thank you for your presentation. I like your house also. I really have two concerns. The renderings, the baked on the right-hand side of the house, the southeast corner, are very different design that you have in black. And so if you were able to speak the screen, you see yeah, you have this glass, glass, glass, solid glass. Whereas in the renderings you have two solids. So I'm wondering which one is the final intent of the design? Our intent is the elevation. There was a modification just before we submitted and and the intention was that this would be one bedroom and then these other two bedrooms would share that that that all right we want to bring that material back into the other side of the house so the the intent is the the drawing not necessarily the rendering. Yeah, and it does make a lot more sense because it brings up all the material on both sides. Okay, just let everybody know because we often focus on the renderings a lot and it's important to them. And then the other one is, how are you planning on doing your roof structure? structure because it seems very thin from the outside. And I'm wondering if you do, you know, flat, which crosses or you do a puncture slab and then, you know, what is your approach? Because it may change the overall aspect of the house to the main entrance. If you look at the renderings, you're showing a very thin slab. Go to your renderers for amenities. This up here. Correct. The bottom, the previous page, the building of that one, please. Down, down, down, down. space. What do the last one please? That one, right there. That one, right there. See, look at the elevation. Your, your, is that just an, like a bracelet, like an eyebrow and then it makes, the windows are going all the way up. Sorry. I see very little thickness there. And I'm wondering how you're going to achieve this plan so the house. The intention and I'll go to the roof plan because we've addressed this a little bit internally and the idea is that these are not going to be wood trusses, they're going to be steel trusses. We're entering into an agreement I think one of the owners is very much into cold-formed steel houses and the idea is that a portion of these houses will be concrete most importantly to address shear but as far as the design for the trusses these would be steel trusses where the top cord would extend and provide that thin eyebrow and then recessed a little bit further in will be a drop so that we can incorporate some window treatment. So these trusses that you see here the intent is that those are in fact going to be steel trusses where the top cord would be forming that thin framing along the edge. It happens there and it happens along the rear area where we have the covered terraces and the eyebrows that project beyond the house. So we're addressing it with steel. The facade will remain with a very elegant thing. That very thin, correct. That very thin facade. I'm just going to thank you for your presentation. So lovely house. Thank you. Daniel, have you considered lightweight steel? Is that what you're going to use? It's called cold form steel, and it is structural lightweight steel, like gauge steel. We are in our office, we're looking into a partnership with a construction company that provides cold form steel, where these houses are going to be built in a factory and then the panels will be transported to the site and assembled in a very short period of time. No, and I'm glad because I happen to be working on some some consumer to that effect and I have a client also that also does lightweight steel and so forth. But they're going to use the modular system. They're gonna build everything in modules and then put it together. That's why I was asking you about it. Yeah, the modules will be broken down to panels, meaning the walls will come in and whatever the height is, 10 or 12 feet, it'll include the parapet where we're needed or as we were showing here, the trusses will overhang and they'll come shipped in a truck and the idea is that the house gets assembled within three or four days. It also allows for framing to be opened for all MEPs and we're estimating savings in time of about 40% for the shell and about 10 to 15% in cost savings because there's there built in savings by the MEPs not having to deal with blocks and beams and and concrete. It becomes, for us it's an interesting venture and a house like this it lends itself well to that kind of construction. I'm not going to get into one way where the devil worked for story five stories, story of building. So that's double being another issue and another discussion. Yeah, it's up there. They have six and five and six story cold-form steel homes, buildings, I'm sorry, apartment buildings. They do concrete floors with on corrugated metal. So the steel goes all the way up and the sound and fire separation is controlled by concrete floors. The panels outside are simply dense glass insulation board and stuckle. So at the end you can't get very different. And the skin is very light also made out of metal. The skin is lighter, foundations, savings is about 10 to 15% as well because the buildings are lighter. Steel is, steel is, steel is good. How about corrosion? So, do you know where? It's galvanized. It's galvanized steel at P90. It's rated for non-corrosive, even on coastal areas. Look, if you've been involved in construction, you know, straight walls are a blessing, and steel is about as straight as you can get. Yeah, okay. Our intention is for this to be that type of construction and self-planning. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. All right, very good. If that concludes all the board comments, I have not much to add, just only to say that I do like the architecture and the coordination of the utilities coming into the property, it would be my only concern. And I would just say space, special attention to that with the vegetation and surrounding infrastructure. And so with that second we have a motion. I'm making a motion for approval with staff and board member comments. Second. Second. First and second. If there's any discussion Hearing none Can we have a vote? Scrawl. Yes, this is a broader. Yes Is it right now? Yes, and I too vote yes. Thank you very much. We look forward to your successful projects. Thank you Thank you all for your comments This car of the good have the miss Cooper if would you have the Ms. Carav, would you have the next item please? The third item for review this morning's DRB-2024-033 Applicant in this, Marrito, P.I.G.S. Attorney and the property owner 7040 sunset asset LLC for South Miami skilled nursing facility. The location 7040 Southwest 61st Avenue and 7019 Southwest 61st Court request new construction six stories. The zoning district is transit supported development district mixed use five as we know the property since I read two addresses that's what I'm saying we know that it literally faces east and west there are two lots with two addresses, and a unity of title is requiring as a condition as far as this report. We have plans prepared by Florida registered architect, Bayhara Font, and also civil prepared by Avignon and Associates. Hull and a Knight. There was a letter. Please refer to that letter as it clearly explains the project. You have it up on the screen. The facade. And that is the one facing the 61st Avenue. That is the one that is the mainly the front because it has the arcade. It also has the retail on the ground floor and entrance to the site and then up to the garage. Being a six story project or building design, it underwent a special exception. Special exceptions, as we know, are required when we have more than four stories and more than 40,000 square feet of site. This site is, see how many acres, you know one second, I don't remember, 35,240, so 0.8 acre. Again, 35,230, a site facing east and west. The fact that it has six stories and four is the maximum on the transit support development district mixed use five is through the bonus allocation. There's a nice zoning information table that's sheet A-0.4 that includes the parking analysis, the bonus allocations, and the breakdown use for the retail and the number of beds for the site. But the extra floors are through the arcade, the full frontage arcade, and through the paseo that crosses from one street to the other. And that also requires a declaration of restrictive covenant for its maintenance. So we have a project mid block with a shelter to walkway. And that serves as the pedestrian connection for the, and there's also an open space. I don't want to forget about that, but that is part of the peseo. You have that openness. The proximity to the metro rail is there also with the full arcade and we have for the skilled South Miami skill nursing facility. We have 90 95 parking spaces but I'm trying to recall from the top of my head the number of beds. I'm sorry 180 beds and that's important Because obviously that triggers the parking we have private and semi private rooms 1310 score feeder retail along 61st Avenue, which again that will end up being the main front although there's two fronts to the site the Parking is broken down, obviously by the floors, internally, and we have 95 parking spaces, is the required, and the proposed is 114. The table also includes the bicycle parking base in the proposed retail use of the skilled nursing facility that requires nine bicycle spaces and the proposed is 18. So we're over on the two cars and bikes. We have also the elevations, which I'll let the architect explain the materials and the paint color selection. The landscape was designed by Andrew Whitkin, Florida registered architect. And revised tree removal application. And revised tree removal application will be submitted in accordance with the tree disposition plan, which denotes the TREDIS to be removed. Staff did read that report and we got to our conditions. So Staff's recommendation for the project is for approval with the following conditions. Comply with resolution number 092-24-16197. Obviously that was for the large scale project. The applicant shall obtain a unity of title. The results will be one folio, one address, and that will be prior to the certificate of occupancy. Number three, applicant shall obtain a covenant for the maintenance of the cross through, as mentioned in the report, submit a revised tree removal permit, application of the planning and zoning department, and the tree, I'm sorry, and must be issued prior to zoning approval of any building permit. The question is, and this is part of the previous tree removal. Tree number six, a live oak tree number 19 of stable palm and tree number 22, another stable palm, should be relocated based on the recommendations from Robert Kirst, Arborist Report again, from that previous submittal. Number six, correct the zoning information table to indicate top of parapet 96 feet for the building height. It is currently shown to the roof level at 86. It goes up 10 feet more so 86 plus 10 96 there are compliance of the 100 foot max, which is part of staff's report under the elevations. The height, the supportive is 100. Again, 86 plus the 1096 to the top of the parapet. That's how we measure our building heights on our code. The project must comply with regulations for the lawyer building code, public work standards and guidelines in the American Disability Act. And number nine, I'm sorry, number eight, any comments and suggestions from the board this morning. As you can see, the nicely submitted package, architectural, civil and landscape, we have there the front cover, Behar Fond. I believe he was not in the chambers and he went to his office, but he was not sworn in. Is the point to my city attorney, would you, Vick? Yes. And- Neither was he, as was here in the chambers. I'm so sorry. I was about to say, okay, and if he, as would like to speak as well, I'd like to have her sworn in to. Of course. So, if he knows, he knows his enchambres, do you say? Yes, sir. Okay, and if the architect from Behar fond, if Javier can please turn his camera on. It says that I've been asked to have a video because both have stopped. If we could get a lot of if you could please make sure that have a year can activate his video that'd be great. Should I stop sharing? You can be able to. Excuse me Madam Clerk. Can you please allow Mr. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I miss you, the attorney. We also have our landscape architect with Wickenholz. Alexander Villala. She's on the call. I don't know if she was swan. Alexandra was warning. Thank you. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. I'm on. Okay, then if you could please raise your right hand. A-NESS as well. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Very good. Take it away. Okay, thank you. Good morning, everybody. My name is Ena Smith-Miteveiro. I'm a attorney with the officers of Holland and Knight, address at 7-01, Brickle Avenue. I'm here this morning on behalf of the applicant for the skilled nursing facility that Lewis very thoroughly described. Just as recap, this project was reviewed in unanimously, so recommended for approval by the planning board. Actually, Mr. Basou was a member of the planning board when that item was approved. And then subsequently unanimously approved by the City Commission back in July of this year, June July of this year. And what is before you is a 180 bed-scaled nursing facility right next to the medical core of the city, next to the lacking facilities between 61st Avenue and 61st Court. And Nuretis gave a very thorough presentation, so I'm just going to jump right into the elevations of the building and have our professional design team haveavier Font just basically walk you through the finishes and the elevations and the materials. So good morning. Thank you for the opportunity. Javier Font, they are Font and Partners, Architects for the project. And building is pretty straightforward. It's a through block. It's sort of a mid-block property and it goes from street to street. So what we've done is we've created an arcade on both streets and also so we can enhance that pedestrian corridor and we've also created a through street within our property to get you from one side to the other. There is a one way vehicular drive that sort of parallels that street. And so the whole ground floor is sort of a pedestrian, either north, south, east, west connectivity. So it works out pretty well. We've lined the rest of the street front as best as we could, and then there's an internal ramp that takes you to the parking garage. The parking is all hidden on this property, so it's completely concealed. You don't see any cars at all, and then the second floor sort of sticks out over the arcade on both sides of the street. So and then our third floor steps back. So it creates a nice urban piece but then it gives us a little bit of relief on the third floor. The floor is pretty typical from the third through the sixth. It's a somewhat contemporary building with nice glazing to where nice stuck lines, some nice banding around it. So pretty contemporary, as I mentioned, this was a building that was approved a while back. It came back because it had a basement and an additional floor at the time, if we move the basement, remove the additional floor, which I think brings the building down a little bit more and I think it's a better context with the neighborhood. So happy to answer any questions. There's a nice sheet that shows all our exterior finishes, stuckle lines and things of that nature that gives you a pretty good idea. So available for any questions you may have. Thank you very much for your presentation. At this time we'll go ahead and open it to public comment. Do we have anybody in Chambers around Zoom? No, I'd like to comment on this item. There's nobody in the Chambers but the applicant and staff. Okay, and seeing none on the Zoom, we'll go ahead and close public comment, and let's go ahead and, before we open this to the board, I just wanna comment that this is similar to some applications we've seen in the past due to the evolution of Environmental Preservation Board and Design Review Board. This is obviously a project that's advanced and now coming before us. So keep that in mind as we make our comments that it is down the road, starting with Mr. Crow. Yes, sir. Well, the fact of the matter is that this is a very nice presentation. I mean, we can see what the intent is, what the architecture is saying. We can see how the landscape works together with the building itself, except for a couple of areas where John will mention. I disagreed with our artists. There's no way in hell that you're going to be able to relocate in this site, an old tree and two savel pumps. When this site is going to be completely demolished to be able to work on it Where do you want him to be placed so they wouldn't have to mitigate and they will have to pray to the three cross one Oh if they happen to have an area where they can put additional trees They can do so. I don't see it, but it is what it is. It's a very tight space So my only comments to Alexandra is twofolds, first one. What are you using for your tree grades? We, I have to make sure with the kind if you want to go with out of paper or tree grade, but regardless of what we choose, we're going to make sure that it is ADA accessible and that it will not cause any issues for circulation. And the other thing is that based on the material you selected, I'm going to make a recommendation. The somewhere here you place some root barriers between the building and the sidewalk and maybe use structural soil for the means so that those roots are not going to pick up the sidewalk. We've seen that too many ways happening around the city and in other places are in daytime. So this is my recommendation. That's something that you need to talk to your client. Since now we're now just become a recommendation board and no longer a white site judicial from that aspect. I mean, what can we say? So the other issue is, if you look at your distribution of your trees, if you can work it out so they fall in between the columns so that it has a better flow, you cannot do it on the thing on 61st Street, I'm not going to excuse me, because of all the underground utility happening there. But if you're able to work it out, you can work it out with Javier and their team, because just moving the trees up and down and working it out, so it falls in between the columns that makes a riddle will make them sense. Otherwise, good to go. Thank you so much. Excellent. Moving on to, where board members of Rada. Yeah, well, I think there's not much from me except in the rendering, as the Just coordinating the tree location with arcades Somehow making it more Working better. So that's about it. I mean, I think the rendering doesn't show the street trees. I mean just curious why And that's the only thing that I have. That part of sale or is that? Are those benches people sitting there? Is that what it is? There'll be some benches and some low plan or areas right just to protect it from the traffic. It's all but yes yes both of those. I call this smoking area is that where it is? Hopefully not smoking, hopefully not and hopefully it's taking a call or whatever. So, okay nobody smokes it. All right so is there any reason why you have on that side the column spacing are kind of different on the middle and the bottom side column spacing it seems to me. The north side you have the loading area which is understand and then you have arcade in front of the officers conference rooms the spacing there is like 25 feet yeah not a 25 feet less than then and then on the bottom side of it on the south side of it it's that an reason why the difference is just? Well, the structure is. No, so it just carries the rhythm of the elevation above. If you look at the elevations, you know, if you've got these columns that sort of define the windows above, I think sort of define the windows above. And they sort of carry that. We skip in the areas where we have drives, where we have the loading area and the actual entry drives or exit drive. Those are the only ones that we skip. But in the other ones, they sort of follow the rhythm above. But I agree with you. And in Maria was comment that, you know, we should place these trees so that they play with the columns. I agree with you, so. I'm chatting with you. Chen. Very quickly before we go to the next, let me just also write here something like Sandra. So you understand. You fight with civil, okay? All those lines coming in from the middle of the street that coming to our building they can move it and you got to tell them hey I need to coordinate with my architect and I need to put my three trees so move to them line okay that can do it you're there in the planning stages sometimes civil get a little laugh act and then it is the easiest way not you tell move to them line so I can put my trees where they gotta go. Okay? You gotta be forceful with them and let them get them. Okay? And however you know this. So that's the only common one I say. Okay? Thank you. So it's George B. So we'll meet them up. Okay. If that concludes your comments, Mr. Baichar Baina. Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Funk. Small. I have a couple of concerns on the elevation shown right now on the screen. I believe this is the East elevation. I see on the plan that you have your FPL vault on the palm room and an MMP corridor and a bunch of things on the lower right hand side. Are you planning on doing storage for those areas? No, we're doing storage for the retail area there but not for the vault. Well, it is shown as such on the elevation, so that's why I'm asking. No, I think all of this is going to be a solid world, but not a stable. So, on this side? Yeah, check your plan. If you look at your plan right now, you'll notice that the elevation is very different from the plan. So we've got the left is the arcade for the walkthrough. And then you've got the drive and you've got the retail. Yeah. Yeah. You have, you know, the west side. The driver. Yeah, the back door. Yeah, I see where you're saying on the F P N O vault itself. Yeah, one other one of the boards. I'm trying to think back maybe one of the boards may just put the glass in front of it. I'm curious. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know that would work. So, you know, just, I think you have to update your reservations. Also, the other concern has also to do with the incite planning. You're showing on the west side, you're ramping up from public right away to the interest of the main lobby. What about on the east side? Is the sidewalk taller on the other side? As you're able to work out right through the vehicle directly onto the public right away without any wrapping? Yes, yes. So there's 12.8-o NGVD on that side and our sidewalk is at 12.76 on that side. And just so happens that the sidewalk on the other side is lower, right? It's about lower than the 61st Avenue side. So we can walk in straight to one side but we can't do the other. Yeah, exactly. And then lastly, your generator, usually you don't see a generator which, you know, way in, like, I don't know, 10 feet in feet into the building. They usually, and the facade for ventilation purposes, those movers, bringing in air and taking air out of those movers are ginormous, and they require like about 10 feet separation between the intake and the outtake. So, is that going to work there within that covered under the building? I don't know if you should check with your MEP engineer because that made, I don't know if you're going to have to duck it out or push it flush to the side of the building. Now that's the question to talk to your engine. Yeah, I believe that we don't have a problem because I mean he's been on this job for over a year so I think we're fine but we will definitely bring it up with. Yeah, I mean like I said usually these guys ventilate out and so because you have this paseo in there which is carbon I'm assuming that you go the rushes also mechanically ventilated. I don't know if those paseos need to be ventilated or some sort. So I would raise the question to him and see how we're going to build that. But if you look at the second floor, there's a good chunk of that piece that is only that is exposed. Right. So everything that faces the street or 70 70% of the faces the street there is exposed. So I'm sure that's where he has his exhaust and his intake is obviously under the drive or under the building on the drive side. So I think we're fine, but we'll confirm it just be sure. Yeah, okay, thank you. I don't have anything else. Thank you very much, Vice Chair. I actually had some questions about the loading center and the back of the house, but I resolved them myself, so I'm done. I have a motion. I'm moving. We have a motion. Can we have a second? Thank you. I do have one last comment. Hey, have you heard it? Yes. Is there a reason why you couldn't use the area where the overhang is coming? They cost us the Paseo down below on that roof. Anyway, you can have access so that can become some sort of a seating area above, if it's not possible or not. Above? So, I just do, okay? On the front, on the, where we would call that one second. Let me go to the plan. Is that a long 61st Avenue or, yeah, a long 61st Avenue, I think you have a big the rendering shows it the last rendering that the Patryuzel which is your arcade and where that area can become some sort of a roof garden or a usable space is a suggestion okay it's a possibility if you go to the third floor, we do have gardens there. This is a very important. I don't have that plan. So this is, these are more internalized and they are either we've had conversations about making the terraces along the rooms. It's really up to ownership the amount of control that they want to have with patients out there. So those conversations have happened. We do have terraces sort of in board, if you will, courtyard, if you will. Do we have plans of landscape plans with that? I don't think they're aware at that level, though. So we don't have any plans on the third level or anywhere else right oh we will have plants up there but they'll be they'll be potted plants right they won't be okay so there's no structure itself because I'm looking at my website and I'm only looking at a throw plan ground floor and I don't know there was a different levels up above with landscape okay yeah there's some small terraces on the third level. And there's nothing happening here. Just terraces. Terraces, correct. OK. OK. So I believe I said I second the motion. So we have a first and a second. Do we have any discussion? Hearing none, Ms. Kraw, how do you vote? Yes. This is Rhara. Crowe, how do you vote? Yes. This is Rhara. Yes. Mr. Reina. Yes. And I too vote yes. Thank you very much for your presentation. We look forward to this special project. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. You're very nice. Ms. Cabrera, can we have the next? I have a please. Certainly. The fourth item for you this morning is the RB-2024-034. Applicant Jorge Fernandez, property owner, AJ69 Street, LLC. Location, 6255, Southwest 69 Street. Request is new construction new construction two stories this is within the RS 3 zoning district the dimensional requirements are guided under section 20 dash 3.5 H for a two story in the land development code We have a lot size of 11,761. The frontage is 95.01 feet, which exceeds the square footage and the lot size, the lot with both exceed the RS3 requirements. Those are 75 and 10,000. The site plan Shide-1 notes the building coverage at 29 percent under the allowable 30%. The FAR is 0.45. The proposed is also under the allowable. The allowable is 5,292. And the proposed is 5,022. In pervious coverage is 47.5 the allowable. The proposed is 44.9 at 5282. The applicant underwent the development of review committee September 10th. And at such time, the details of proposed erosion control that has been prepared is sheet W.S. Dash 1 by Ken Rose, engineering. And we have the landscape also by the landscape architect Harold Hodey, and architectural plans by Mark Reardon. We have the plans, as the plans note, we have eight trees provided in total. Also two trees on the swell area, and that's based on the property minors, again, the Suffolkett to subtract the driveway With that said steps recommendations for approval with the following conditions to submit a true removal application provide the correct open space requirement The opposite of impervious and any comments from the board this morning. Thank you Thank you very much. Mr. Reardon, if you should be putting up the rendering and the site plan and there's no one in the audience but staff and when friendly lady that decided to just share her morning here with us. You see her sitting there in the audience. She's just a guest. We could have our presentation from the applicant. Mark, you're muted. We cannot hear you. And your screen is out screen is about that. This is Mark Reardon the architect how you doing sorry about that So I'll keep this short and sweet since the last few have been long Lordus Pretty much described well what we're doing. It's a transitional house two stories. It's Not taking up the full laugal square footage or FDR of the site. I think we're about 200 to 300 square feet below the maximum of both of those. And as you can see on the site plan the site that the house sits well on the site the setbacks are greater than the minimum required and on the elevations or the rendering I should say. It's a well-scaled house, it's not imposing warm materials as you can see with the wood accents, the wood overhangs. So we believe it's a great house and open any comments that you have. Excellent. If that concludes your presentation, we'll go ahead and open this to the public. Is there anybody in Chambers or on Zoom that would like to comment on this application? There's nobody in their Chambers put staff. And seeing no one on Zoom, we'll go ahead and close public comment and we'll come back to the board Starting on mr. Crow You know before I Said I should say this is a kind of quality of plants and I'm excited like the one before and now Where you have a complete landscape plan mitigation, but you can read that we can provide positive feedback and recommendations. But when I see the first two applications in which they were lacking of information, how can we make a judgment call and be able to provide and move forward from that aspect. I can see here very clearly what the intent is. I am concerned with the two trees in the back and the pool area, but I wouldn't move a meter. They're specimen trees, so the only thing I can say is, when you do build that swimming pool, make sure that I side of that wall is a little thicker than eight inches so that any problem that could be with the root system, that can be stopped. And number two, how much of that's going to be cut off? Normally I like to see what the CRT is, which is a critical root zone, just to be careful. But I have no comments here except well done. Thank you for that board member subrata yeah no I I like the project mark is always that is good good projects so I have no further comments vice-chair rena morning mark um I like your house also. I like the palette that you chose very early colors and very, very blend really well with that landscape. I'm not crazy about the roof of the entry of the main houses I think it's a little bit different than the rest of the lives I chose for a rest of the house, but other than that I like the house. I think it's pretty attractive. Thank you. Thank you for that. And yeah, I the only thing I would add is just the coordination of the utilities obviously with the evolution of FPN all in all in this area as well So just have a look at that, but I have no further comment and we have a motion Second anyone I got a first and a second any discussion Hearing none Mr. Rahad you both. Yes This is brought out of you both yes Mr. Rahad, how do you vote? Yes. Mr. Rahad, how do you vote? Yes. Vice-chair Rayna, how do you vote? Yes. And I too vote yes. Thank you for your presentation. We look forward to your successful projects. Thank you. Bye, guys. All right. Moving on to the next item, Mr. Rahad. Thank you. The last item for you this morning is the RB-2024-018. I'm sorry, Carlos A. Eubird, Property Owners, also Carlos A. Eubird, Location 5975, Southwest 60, Second Street, New Construction, One Story, that is, Govern Under Section 20-3.5E, Dimensional Requirements, One Story, Within Our Land Development Code. one story within our land development code. The zoning district is RS-3. This particular law has a lot size of 12,237. I'm going to pause for a minute and ask, sorry, a little swatiss, the architect. If you could please share his screen screen perhaps the front rendering or the side plan and I'm not sure if he was sworn in either just for the record. We need to double check on that. The total size 12,237 on this one story home. The building being a one story allows for 35% that equates to 4283 and the proposed is under at 34 with 4166 for the ground and only floor and the impervious allows 50% which equates to 6,119, proposed at 49 with 5,986. The elevations and the detached accessory structures, what they referred to as the barbecue area on the breakdown for the impervious That's how they Identify the detached structure. Obviously the 34% includes the building and the detached structure proposed heights for the building we have 13 I'm sorry 138 for the main home to the top of the parapet and 12 feet 8 inches for the detach. The development committee took place in May 14th of this year and under when some revisions back and forth because it was not needing the code. One of them being, and that has been corrected since, the correct site interior setbacks. Seven and a half is the minimum and based on the required community with the both shite yards, it shall not be less than 20. So we have a total lot with of 114.35 times 2 times 0.2 the 20% that equals 22.87. The proposed interior setback is incorrect in the legend as it says 27.67. This means the required 20 to 87. The building height is noted consistent in the legend. Also the proposed core footage is form pervious has been revised since the DRC back in May. And the car port encroachment at the front, we had an encroachment that exceeded three feet. That's no longer the case. It is at three feet, which is the maximum allowable encroachment as per our code section 20-3.6 B. Supplemental regulations, your encroachments of the land development code. So they tweak the house a little bit here and there, as I just mentioned. The landscape plan has been, the plans have been signed in CO by Pedro Suárez, also the architect on record for the Hau, as we know being a one-story, the architect can also undertake and prepare the landscaping plans. We have the attached plasins that include sheet L1 and that includes the existing tree schedule and the disposition schedule. We have noted 15 trees without coming into palms. There's a total of 10 trees on site, 7 existing and 3 live-oaks. Those are number 11. As we know, a minimum of three is required for the RS-3 zoning district, and there are five proposed draft tabulimia to be planted on the sway. These two numbers comply with the code's requirement as far as number of trees on site and on the soil. The tree removal permit is required that's pending some middle and shall be consistent with the tree disposition schedule. During the RC it was suggested that prohibitive and data species to be removed for the umbrella tree number one. With that said, staff's recommendation for this one story design is that it shall comply with section 20, 4.5F4B landscape requirements of the land development code. Correct the zoning legend to reflect the interior left side setback as designed on the side plant at 20 feet to inches, not 10 to the legend shows 10 feet to inches again. It shall read 20 feet to inches matching the side plant. Number three, provide a five foot setback for the gravel on the side yard. You clearly see that on the right hand side of the of the plan that the gravel is touching the property line. Subnitted tree removal application and an erosion construction plan provide the correct open space requirement and any commons and suggestions from the board. Mr. the architect, the Bay of Little Swadis, I'm not sure if you were here when we did the swaring in at the beginning of the meeting or not. There was so many applicants present that I'm not sure. No, I think can you guys hear me? Yes, welcome. Okay, good morning to everyone. No, I missed a swearing in with traffic. How do you do it? Yes, can I please get you to turn your camera on, Mr. Schwars? Okay, hopefully I can do that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, sorry, it took so long. No, that's okay. If you could please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear or firm that the testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? I do. Thank you. Please proceed. You're good to start your presentation. Yes, I'm for that delay. This is a replacement for the home that was there, was dilapidated, it was demolished by the owners and nevertheless it's a pretty nice woodsy site. would see sight. The design intent of my clients was to achieve a simple home in which the greenery would reflect against the simple lines of the house. This corner here is the western corner, the house next door actually faces the adjacent street. This is the shadow of the front and this is the house to the right. The property as you can see is located, that was there was located here, this is gone, it's the bacon site now. We're proposing a simple building with simple lines and with a screen in front and you know the pavilion that Lou just mentioned is here the barbecue pavilion and as you can see it's all fairly straight lines simple modern contemporary look area. Look. The roof we're draining it to the left, the majority of it, and to the right. We have provided a swell area all the way around the property. And in this particular area we have provided gravel to mitigate the impact of the water against that ground. We're using the existing driveway but approach but we are providing a new concrete drive. The visibility triangle is shown here, and this are the trees that are existing with a crosshatch. This is the drainage plan. The residence is firmly straightforward. You know, bedrooms on one side, the master on the north side facing the pool, a great area. There's a family room here, laundry to the left, a powder room, a pool bath, and the kitchen opens up to the combination dining, a great room. The elevations are fairly straightforward, you know, clean lines. We're using one tongue and groove of softets on the exterior. This is the color of the frame. This looks actually darker than it really is, but it's supposed to be a bronze. And this are doors that we're planning on using in the back. I have included a shot. You know, this is the screen in the front, which would be bronze, not black. And this is, this are the gazebo, barbecue, pavilion in the back, which is designed to replicate the lines of the house. This are sections through the building, which are not really necessary for this, go around. But we had them done, so we included them. And here's a landscaping plant. And, you know, this, as Lou just mentioned, there's an umbrella, a hit tree here in the front that we're getting rid of. And the rest, we are keeping, and these are new trees on the street inside the lot. In the back here, head just back here. and we will turn it over to you guys for comments. All right, thank you very much. If that concludes your report, your presentation will open it to public comment. Do we have anybody in Chambers or online that we like to make a public comment? There's nobody in chambers but staff. And seeing no one online, we'll close public comment. We'll go to the board. Board member Kharag. Mr. Sward, is that you and I met in the past before? Yes, we have. That's what I thought. You worked in a project. I believe it was the platinum condominium and maybe a few others while I was at Fullerton Diaz. That's it. Thank you for your mind at me. You know, when you get to be 71 years old. You're not having a hard time. That's been your moment. I'm going to send to kick in, you know what I mean? You don't know. I'm trying to go for senior moments. So let me say this to you. Because obviously our coach allowed for an architecture design landscape, I can only judge it and look at it from the perspective. Do you meet the requirements? And what other issues there might be. First of all, do we have a drain field this side of this, not the case here. That's not the case here. Okay. So the only thing I'm going to ask is two poles. You have a lot of cocoa plum. If you can change that to a different material, so at least we can have three different type of material. Not a problem. And the other thing is also you have a number 12 which says a recapal is not shown on the pre survey but take a look if you want to remove that a recapal and put something else. Actually in this corner. Oh, it's here. The recapal Is here. Yeah. The on the top is here. No. Yeah. Correct. In the front. And so the question is, is there something that is really spectacular? Do you want to keep? Or is something that you didn't want to take out because of mitigation? Yeah. That was the case. So it's up to you. I mean, we're in much better if you feel that that recap on is not going to give the house a The look of the structure that you want remove it. Okay, city will work with you. Okay. All right The only thing is I don't agree with the design of your fence When I look at your house and I look at the fence based on the renderings, I think you can get it a little bit more creative or something different, you know, curve to add animation to it. To me, it starts to look like a corral, not intended for my last name, but it starts to look out. OK. So we were, we were trying to be consistent with all the fences in the neighborhood. And let's see this house here does have a similar fence in the front. I understand. And that's what my question is. Is that something that you wanted? Is that something that can be a little more creative from that aspect? And I'll leave it up to you. I mean, I'm just making a design of look at it that it can have a little bit more movement to it, considering what I'm looking in terms of your house. And I'll leave that to Xavier and Subrata and Daniel to keep some coming on that. Otherwise, you're good to go. Thank you. Now, when you're talking about the fence, are you saying making it more in and out instead of so straight? No, I'm talking about the actual design of it. Can it do something that can be a little bit more interesting? Can the bottom be a little heavier and then the top a little wider? I mean, I'll leave that to you. OK. OK. And that's what the owner wants then. So be it for me. That direction came from the owner. So I could bring it up to that. Yeah, I it that direction came from the owner so I could bring it up to that Thank you very comments where members have brought up Yeah, I think I think the fence was kind of a little bothersome, but my my I don't Adjust that so maybe you can take a look at it to see you make it but I think I like that idea having a little closer spacing and then getting a more open spacing and then... How do you move to the top? And that's that meet the triangle of visibility criteria, you know, can you? So you might want to look at that. And I think the building is, you know, it's a very erectile linear kind of thing. And then all of a sudden, you have that entryway that's kind of a little arch, which means a little out of place, but that's what you want, that's what you want. But there was the owner's wife. At least try to have a little space between the ceiling and the top of the arch. So it's not touching, it's just not... So just a little minor design things. They do have that door already. But if you look at the elevation, it's almost touching. But that's a design thing. So, however, I don't have any issues. I mean, at landscape, you could do a little bit better. The two oak trees in the front yard, you have 20, and 24 on centers. I think that's a little too close. They can be separated out a little bit and they give you a better, better feel to the house when the trees actually mature. So, I'm, you know, so I'll go back. I think it's fine. Okay. Thank you, Boima, Marissa Brata. Boima, Marissa, byina. Her, vice-chair byina. Good morning. Good morning. It's the exact same comment I missed, Mr. Sibrada. I think the interest is I think the deal with regards to the rest of the language of the house. I am not particularly crazy about the R&D entry, but that's for the plan once, that's the one. But I do believe that you may be able to raise the scene, the drop scene higher the entrance and thereby maybe you know, create that separation from the top arch, the drop ceiling higher the entrance and thereby maybe you know create that separation from the top arch to the drop ceiling that would help a little bit. And then I think if you look at a you know in plan and in contrast with the elevation, the front of the ceiling, you'll win those two bedrooms a rather small so I think you're going to have a very dark bedroom or a very deep room natural light coming into those bedrooms. And obviously, you know, it seems to comply with the fire exit through windows as they are, you know, swing out windows. But I do think they're going to be very tight-fed. That's the one in common day. Very good. I believe everything that I was thinking has been touched, so I appreciate the rest of the board members. With that said, can we have a motion? More, Greg. Do I have a second? I'm going to go to the next meeting. Okay. Do I have a second? I can't. Yeah. Okay. Is that a second? Second. Thank you. Mr. Groud, how do you vote? Yes, sir. Mr. Groud, how howdy vote. Yes. Vice Chair Ray and howdy vote. Yes. And I too, but yes, thank you for your presentation with the four-year successful projects. Thank you. Have a good day, you're all. My period of good to see you. Thank you, Marien. Okay. And then we will be moving on to approval of the meeting minutes. Has everyone had an opportunity to reveal the meeting minutes? Is there any questions or comments? No questions or minds? Hearing none. all in favor say aye Any opposed Hearing none the minutes are approved our next meeting will be Tuesday October 15th at 8.30 a.m Thank you everybody for your time today. It was a lengthy one But we got through it Nothing more for the order. Thank you and. It's okay. Good to see you. Good to see you. Have a great day. Bye-bye. Bye guys. Bye. you
