This project has been approved by both the Zoning Board and the Planning Advisory Board but has not yet been reviewed by the City Commission. We believe that addressing these changes at this juncture would afford the Commission the benefit of the reviewing the project as it is currently envisioned. Enclosed please find a chart which compares the data submitted on April 7, 2005 and the new proposed figures. Among these changes are a decrease in height on two of three towers, a decrease in total unit count from 1,808 to 1,753 and an increase in parking from 2,004 to 2,085 parking spaces. It is important to note that upon submittal of the MUSP application on April 7, 2005, Related had acquired the Brickell heirs interest in Brickell Park and as a result of that ownership, included the Brickell Park as part of the Gross Lot Area calculation due to common and contiguous ownership. Subsequent negotiations with the City of Miami resulted in a Settlement Agreement approved by the City of Miami City Commission on June 9, 2005 pursuant to Resolution # 06-00481 whereby, Related agreed to only utilize Brickell Park for setback and visual corridor purposes and to conform with the City of Miami Zoning Code. As a result, a recalculation of the Gross Lot Area has been made and has resulted in a reduction of the Gross Lot Area from 464,267 sf to 437,489 sf. Greenberg Traurig, P.A.
