"','(1 ZCt'i(\~ '_: __..____ Re: Phase VI Renaissance Commons Dear Ed: Pursuant to our numerous meetings regarding Phase VI, we are ready to unveil the final presentation for our minor modifications, We have incorporated all of your staffs' recommendations for screening and articulation which exceeds the original approved design. As you remember, in an effort to complete Renaissance Commons we needed to make these market driven changes, Included in this package we have numerous things to identify changes efficiently. Essentially what has happened is that we re-designed Building L in order to create a leasable residential unit, as well as increase the retail offering, as we discussed, in earlier meetings. Building J was consolidated architecturally and dropped to five (5) stories increasing the number of one (1) bedroom units to meet the demands of the market. I am happy to say we have increased usable open space as well as and landscaping elements to screen the garages and create a more functional, aesthetically pleasing development, and more importantly, this will enable us to finish. As you will note, we broke Buildings J and L into phases so we can begin construction immediately. Also included in this package are the following: . Enumeration of Documents of Plan sheets . Revised, Final Paint Colors - Building L . Revised plans and elevations (In CAD) · Revised, consolidated site parking chart and plan with sheets backing up unit, density and square footage changes. · Check in the amount of $150.00 to process the minor modifications. ;III We have enclosed a comprehensive parking chart as attached to the drawings and this shall meet all the previous requirements. For your convenience, we have enclosed a list (enumeration) of the drawings attached to your minor modification approval letter. As we discussed, per your request, once this minor modification is complete we will be pursing a building permit immediately. In addition, this is consistent with our current DRI. We have taken great pride and have gone to great lengths to produce what is being presented to you. We have taken usable open space, hardscape plaza area into serious consideration and we exceed all of the previous submissions for Phase VI. We look forward to a favorable, prompt response from the city. If you need any additional information, kindly contact me at 561-391-6570. Sincerely, Cf~~Mr C C~J. Manager enc.
