Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
Please see SOFNA resolution below originally sent to the Planning Board supporting this zoning change.
Ronald Starkman
Secretary -- SOFNA
Dear Planning Board Members,
At a public meeting of the South of Fifth Neighborhood Association (SOFNA) held on May 15th, 2023 the SOFNA board
voted to support a zoning amendment to clarify that only 1/2 of the area below grade should be used for the
calculation of Floor Area for the commercial property at One Ocean Drive. SOFNA 's position is based on support for
this change from the One Ocean Condominium Association and the attractive architectural plan which was presented
for the Phillipe Chow restaurant that will be leasing this space.
Sincerely,
SOFNA Board of Directors
Keith Marks -- President
Alyson Herman -- Vice President
Jordan Levy -- Treasurer
Ronald Starkm an -- Secretary
John Caprio -- Director
Mark Haskins -- Director
David Podein -- Director
