Item Summary/Recommendation :
On January 16, 2013 the City Commission adopted the Basis of Design Report (BODR), as well as Resolution
No. 2013-28120 granting a waiver of certain development regulations regarding the maximum building height,
exceeding the maximum height permitted within a local historic district of fifty (50) feet, allowing an additional
six (6) feet in height.
On April 16, 2014, the Flooding Mitigation Committee requested staff to evaluate the design impact of the
implementation of a freeboard elevation of two and three feet above Base Flood Elevation.
On May 15,2014, the Flooding Mitigation Committee recommended raising the proposed ground finish floor
elevation to Base Flood plus a freeboard of three (3) feet (9.45 NAVD), which represents an increased building
height of four (4) feet - ten (10) inches.
On June 11,2014, the City Commission adopted Resolution No.2014-28630 approving and accepting the
recommendation of the Flooding Mitigation Committee to; raise the proposed ground floor elevation of Collins
Park Place project to base flood plus three feet; and accept the concept of Collins Park Place presented by
Berenblum Busch Architecture lnc. to incorporate the raised floor of base flood elevation (BFE) plus three feet.
ln addition, upon further refinement of the design and careful evaluation of various drainage systems, the
Consultant has determined that the slope of the upper floor plates must be increased. This results in an
additional increase in building height of seven (7) feet, due to the large span of each floor plate. Without the
increased slope there will be additional exposed drainage pipes throughout and a higher risk of water pooling in
exposed areas, particularly on the roof slab.
And finally, with an additional two (2) feet - two (2) inches for construction tolerances, the building height must
be increased a total of fourteen (1 4) feet, from fifty-six (56) feet (approved under Resolution No. 2013-28120)to
approximately seventy (70) feet. The maximum height permitted within a local historic district is fifty (50) feet.
As indicated in the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) File Number 7329 Staff Report, "While the structure by
necessity must exceed the allowable height, this height is dramatically mitigated and made appropriate and
more transparent by the open nature of the structure, which has no solid exterior walls above the ground floor
level." Pursuant to Section 142-425(d)(e) of the City's Zoning Ordinance, the Mayor and City Commission may
waive development regulations following a noticed public hearing advertised in the newspaper at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the hearing, which was done on July 3,2014.
The Administration recommends I of the Resolution.
