I fl . j JUj JUN 2 7 J l>w<:-_ __ -- t~l l n I , SUBJECT Woolbnght ProfeSSIOnal Plaza File No NWSP 00-006 Dear Mr Rumpf: Please accept thIS letter as our formal request and applIcatIon for approval of a "HeIght ExceptIOn" consIstent with the provIsIons of Sec. 4F 1 of Chapter 2 of the City Zomng Code, for the proposed Woolbnght ProfessIOnal Plaza to be located at the Northeast comer of W oolbnght Road and Congress Avenue. In our applIcatIon for exceptIon to the dlstnct heIght regulatIon we have studIed and consIdered the follOWing standards. A. With the exceptIon of the two end roofs at the covered walkway, the buildIng heIght IS 19'-6", which IS within the maximum 25 feet permItted by Code. However one small roof of the architectural feature at the end of the covered walkway peaks at 30 feet. Actually only the ndge, which IS a very small portIOn of the roof, will reach the 30 feet heIght, then the hIpped roof slopes back to 25 feet or less. We believe the height exception is minimal and will not have an adverse effect on the existing land use, surrounding buildings or properties. As a matter of fact, the five feet heIght exception requested IS so mInImal that it will not be notIced. Furthermore WithIn the unmedIate VIclmty there are buildIngs that exceed the 30 feet heIght. Also m thIS dlstnct (C-I) buildIngs deSIgned with a parkIng structure WIthIn are allowed to a maxImum heIght of 30 feet. B The height exception is necessary to create architectural interest in the building_ ThIs IS also necessary to conform to the CIty'S objectIve of encouragmg archItectural relIef to break up what would otherWIse be a plam stnp plaza. Mr Michael Rumpf File No. NWSP 00-006 W oolbnght ProfessIonal Plaza June 26, 2000 Page 2. C. The minimal height exception will not reduce or affect in any way light and air in adjacent properties. D The heIght exceptIon IS consIstent With the architectural style for projects m the VICInIty mcludmg the approved Fldehty Federal nelghbonng project. Therefore this project will compliment the architectural style of the area and will not be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent properties. E. This style of archItecture IS well accepted m South Flonda and the surroundmg areas and It will make the project .'fit m" which m turn should help increase property values and thus mcrease the tax base of the CIty F The height exception will not adversely influence the living condition of the neighborhood, except that It will proVIde a more mterestmg and dlstmgUlshed buildmg to look at. G The height exception does not constitute a special privilege to the client since the maximum height allowed in the district is 30 feet, in the City is 45 feet, and there are surroundmg structures m the ImmedIate area that are taller than our proposed buildmg. H. Recent code reVISIons have relaxed the maxImum allowed heIght requlTements m reSIdentIal dIstncts by pemuttmg buildmgs up to 30 feet heIght. We believe that sufficient evidence has been presented to justify the need for a height exception and hope that you are m agreement and will support thIS .'HeIght ExceptIon" request. If you have any questIons or deSIre addItIonal mformatIOn please contact me at 659-5602. Thank you for consldenng this matter rely JO~;'~cE 1~ ArchItect cc' Jon SchmIdt Dr and Mrs. H. Nguyen
