[18:14]
>> and item number 19737.
[18:44]
On our screen. He just went.
[19:27]
Okay good morning everyone. My
[19:29]
name is andre. I'm from I'm
[19:31]
representing molex company
[19:33]
signage company located here in
[19:34]
miami. So I'm presenting the
[19:36]
project is online organic at
[19:38]
jules house. This project is
[19:40]
composed by four zero signage.
[19:43]
So basically we're doing like
[19:45]
two signs per facade. So it's
[19:47]
it's located in the corner. The
[19:49]
location is well the location
[19:55]
number one permit number is.
[19:57]
bd26012432001 and the building
[20:00]
is located at. 2200 northwest
[20:03]
first avenue, miami, florida
[20:05]
33127. So the location number
[20:08]
one. Is basically. Located at
[20:13]
the sulfa side which is facing
[20:15]
the northwest. 2220 second
[20:16]
street.
[20:17]
>> and.
[20:22]
>> this is. 40ft wide. The this
[20:23]
is a hanging sign. This sign
[20:25]
will be installed by center at
[20:28]
the entrance of the retail
[20:30]
which is um nine feet height.
[20:31]
So it's following the
[20:34]
regulations for clearance for
[20:37]
the pedestrians. The dimension
[20:44]
of this sign is. 2404 by 78. So
[20:48]
basically like. 127 like. 13ft2
[20:50]
and the signs will be as I
[20:52]
mentioned installed in center
[20:54]
with the glass windows. The
[20:57]
setback in interior is.
[20:58]
>> two feet.
[21:00]
>> from the glass area there
[21:03]
like a main entrance and the
[21:06]
entrance will be like a
[21:08]
identify with design. The
[21:10]
illumination of design is from
[21:13]
lit channel letters and face
[21:15]
illumination and the material
[21:17]
is aluminum structure with
[21:19]
acrylic on the face and to
[21:20]
project the illumination and
[21:23]
the graphic will be like print
[21:25]
or vinyl on top of the on the
[21:27]
acrylic so that way create like
[21:29]
the the logo so represent the
[21:31]
logo and as I mentioned design
[21:33]
will be hanging. So we were
[21:35]
proposing a aluminum structure
[21:38]
to to create like the to
[21:40]
implement the letters plus the
[21:43]
image following the branding
[21:46]
regulations. So this is like
[21:47]
the dimension and the format of
[21:51]
the structure. And as I
[21:53]
mentioned this sign is hanging
[21:54]
its interior but it's
[21:56]
projecting to the street. So
[21:57]
basically you can see from the
[21:58]
street during the day and
[22:01]
during the night and all the
[22:02]
electrical components will be
[22:04]
like concealed interior and the
[22:06]
aluminum structure will be like
[22:10]
the way I mean like the
[22:12]
elements to where we can hide
[22:13]
all the electrical components
[22:16]
and all the gearbox and
[22:18]
electrical connection will be
[22:21]
like internal so nobody can see
[22:23]
everything will be clean um
[22:26]
plain and this is like a render
[22:28]
with the daylight view and
[22:30]
night night view. So basically
[22:32]
as I mentioned interior but
[22:33]
exterior since the illumination
[22:35]
is and design is project from
[22:38]
the street. This is another
[22:42]
reference. And this is just
[22:44]
like reference from the area
[22:46]
and this is the location number
[22:52]
one. Just want to quickly
[22:56]
remind everybody that uh we got
[22:57]
miguel here.
[22:59]
>> good morning. Apologies for
[23:05]
my being late. I um thanks for
[23:08]
presenting your sign today. I
[23:10]
think this is one of my
[23:11]
favorite signs that you've
[23:13]
presented so far. You've done a
[23:14]
really good job here. There's a
[23:17]
lot of details that you thought
[23:19]
about the side of the sign
[23:23]
where it's located, um, how
[23:25]
you've you know, brought in the
[23:26]
electrical through the
[23:29]
structure. Uh, first question I
[23:32]
have is the structure that you
[23:34]
have the sign hanging from.
[23:36]
Have you guys thought about the
[23:38]
color and how it relates to
[23:40]
maybe the window mullions,
[23:42]
maybe consider using the same
[23:44]
color as the window mullions or
[23:46]
maybe making it all black or
[23:48]
really think about what the
[23:50]
structure looks like and the
[23:52]
construction of this of of the
[23:54]
structure, you know, is it
[23:56]
welded? Is it screwed on? I
[23:58]
think that you know, you have
[24:00]
such a beautiful sign that
[24:02]
thinking about how this thing
[24:04]
is hung and if you don't really
[24:07]
think about how thick each tube
[24:10]
is, it'll stand out.
[24:11]
Absolutely. People will say, oh
[24:13]
what a beautiful sign. But the
[24:15]
structure is a little bit. Yes
[24:16]
actually that one of them like
[24:18]
the idea the intention I keep
[24:20]
it like clean and like blend
[24:23]
the area. So probably if the
[24:25]
glass is like let's say smoke
[24:27]
so we can replicate a similar
[24:28]
color to the glass or the
[24:29]
mullions as you mentioned,
[24:32]
probably the way the design the
[24:33]
structure blend during the
[24:35]
night will be visible because
[24:36]
the illumination will be like
[24:38]
project design. So the idea
[24:40]
could find like a color format
[24:41]
that. Yeah.
[24:44]
>> it seems like your client
[24:47]
probably has, you know, pushed
[24:49]
you guys to make sure that the
[24:51]
sign is beautiful. So also it's
[24:53]
um, engineering like situation
[24:54]
like we're creating this
[24:57]
structure in engineering terms.
[25:00]
So that's why but yes, we can
[25:02]
play with the color and find a
[25:09]
solution. Any other comments?
[25:11]
>> are we approving one sign at
[25:12]
a time or are all three at
[25:16]
once? Did you present all
[25:17]
three? So can you continue with
[25:19]
the next okay perfect. So this
[25:21]
is the location number one.
[25:23]
Location number two is
[25:25]
basically the same project just
[25:27]
a different sign. This sign is
[25:30]
located is also a hanging sign.
[25:33]
Let me check something okay the
[25:35]
location number one is the same
[25:38]
I presenting for signs two sign
[25:39]
two signs are the same sign and
[25:41]
the other two signs are the
[25:42]
signs like since are two
[25:44]
entrances one is in a corner so
[25:46]
both signs are exactly the same
[25:48]
sign but located in different
[25:49]
corner and the other two signs
[25:50]
are blade signs. So the
[25:52]
location number two is
[25:53]
basically the same sign just
[25:58]
located at the um its facade
[26:00]
which is the northwest first
[26:01]
avenue but basically the same
[26:03]
situation same electrical
[26:04]
components, same logo, same
[26:06]
dimensions everything. So
[26:10]
basically the same. So let's go
[26:12]
to the location number three
[26:15]
this is the other option the
[26:16]
other presentation. So location
[26:17]
number three and location
[26:21]
number four are blade signs so.
[26:23]
The location number three is a
[26:24]
blade sign not illuminated.
[26:26]
This sign will be installed at
[26:29]
the studio as you can see here
[26:30]
the intention of design is
[26:32]
installed next to the entrance
[26:36]
to the closest light column. So
[26:38]
that way it's very visible from
[26:41]
both sides. It's also installed
[26:43]
the ideas like the interior
[26:46]
sign like hanging sign and
[26:48]
blade sign they like keep it
[26:50]
like center together so both
[26:51]
sign will be installed at the
[26:53]
same height. So it will be
[26:56]
clear like a visual line. So
[26:58]
design is fabricated in
[27:00]
aluminum with a printed panel
[27:02]
graphic like this where um
[27:03]
including the logo of the
[27:05]
branding of the company. Um
[27:07]
this is a blade sign but is
[27:09]
composed by two aluminum like
[27:11]
plates in the middle like like
[27:14]
a structure like a bullseye
[27:17]
both panels it's very light
[27:18]
very simple. These are similar
[27:21]
like reference we have in the
[27:22]
area. But yes this is the
[27:24]
intention is not illuminated as
[27:25]
I mentioned the illuminator
[27:26]
will be the hanging sign. This
[27:28]
is just like pedestrian like
[27:29]
when you're walking from both
[27:31]
sides you can have like a
[27:33]
visual of the entrance. So this
[27:35]
is the location number three
[27:37]
and location number four is
[27:39]
basically the same as I
[27:40]
mentioned same situation same
[27:41]
components same materials same
[27:44]
logo just located at the
[27:46]
northwest first avenue. So
[27:48]
basically that's the those are
[27:54]
the four signs. Thank you. Any
[28:01]
any comments from the board? I,
[28:06]
I move to approve with comments
[28:09]
um the comments are to consider
[28:11]
the structure in the design and
[28:13]
make sure that you know there's
[28:15]
thought put into it the
[28:17]
thickness of the structure how
[28:18]
it's attached. Absolutely.
[28:21]
>> yeah that kind of stuff. And
[28:24]
then also to make sure that all
[28:26]
the signs have the same foot
[28:28]
candles and the illumination to
[28:31]
reconsider 3500 kelvin and
[28:32]
maybe move to something a
[28:34]
little bit warmer. Okay. Around
[28:37]
the range of 2000 and 2500
[28:48]
kelvin. I'll second the motion.
[28:48]
Okay.
[28:55]
>> all in favor? Aye I. Are
[28:58]
those conditions clear? We need
[29:01]
to do a motion for for each
[29:02]
therefore applications okay
[29:04]
running under the same building
[29:06]
I believe the condition was for
[29:09]
the last one. The yeah the
[29:12]
approval is for all of them to
[29:15]
have they're all approved with
[29:17]
the condition that they all
[29:20]
have the same calvin correct.
[29:22]
And that they to reconsider the
[29:24]
3000 kelvin to something lower
[29:28]
and warmer between 2000 and
[29:29]
25,000 kelvin. Okay.
[29:31]
>> and that the structure for
[29:34]
the main sign to be considered
[29:34]
into the design.
[29:37]
>> okay, perfect. The blade
[29:38]
signs aren't illuminated
[29:41]
correct. The illuminated. The
[29:43]
blade it's only the two
[29:44]
storefront signs. Just the
[29:48]
hanging sign. Even better.
[29:51]
Yeah. Okay. Okay, so the motion
[29:56]
is now for approval of item
[30:02]
number 19736. With the
[30:07]
condition that the structure is
[30:11]
of equal measurement or less
[30:13]
no. Be considered in the design
[30:14]
that they really think about
[30:16]
the thickness of the structure
[30:18]
as it as it pertains to the
[30:21]
sign and how it's uh assembled.
[30:24]
Okay, so with the consideration
[30:27]
of the structure and its
[30:29]
thickness and how it's
[30:32]
assembled and as it relates to
[30:34]
the other signs. To the actual
[30:36]
sign that it's holding up. Okay
[30:36]
.
[30:40]
>> is that clear enough? Yeah,
[30:41]
I'm writing it down and I'm
[30:44]
going to read the sentence so
[30:56]
that we are clear on that one.
[31:16]
Okay, so these have all been
[31:18]
approved with the following
[31:20]
condition all signs to have the
[31:21]
same lighting intensity and the
[31:23]
placement of the sign to be
[31:25]
considered of the structure and
[31:27]
thickness as it relates to the
[31:31]
facade. Thank you. Okay.
[31:35]
>> thank you. And so MAY we
[31:37]
have a motion for approval of
[31:38]
the sign with the conditions
[31:42]
for 19736. We have to do this
[31:47]
one at a time correct? No. You
[31:49]
could do an omnibus motion as
[31:51]
to all of them. Okay so let's
[31:55]
do that. Yeah so we'll do a
[31:57]

[33:24]
Thank you. Good morning..
[33:25]
>> good morning. Jonathan
[33:28]
treston I am vp of legal and
[33:30]
asset management for more
[33:32]
development. Um you guys all
[33:34]
know my colleague tom dunlap as
[33:36]
our vice CHAIRMAN. Um he's not
[33:39]
here today. Um so I have
[33:40]
prepared a little presentation
[33:41]
just to walk you through this
[33:42]
this fence upgrade that we're
[33:44]
doing. It's a gate and a fence
[33:46]
replacement on one of our
[33:47]
properties here. It's located
[33:48]
on northwest first place. Um,
[33:51]
just to orient you of the area
[33:52]
we're talking about here this
[33:55]
is a google maps screenshot the
[33:57]
little um building in the
[33:59]
center that has the little
[34:01]
office icon on it. Um right
[34:03]
here is where we're talking
[34:05]
about um we own a lot of
[34:06]
property in the southern end of
[34:08]
wynwood here bordering north of
[34:10]
northwest 20th on both sides of
[34:12]
second avenue northwest first
[34:15]
place and so on. Um these
[34:18]
buildings right here are being
[34:19]
used currently as they exist
[34:22]
and adaptively reused and what
[34:25]
you see is that we had um this
[34:26]
is the fence that we're talking
[34:27]
about that we're replacing.
[34:29]
I'll show you some other photos
[34:30]
in a second. This is a survey
[34:33]
showing the property. Um so one
[34:36]
of these properties in the
[34:37]
bottom the there's like four
[34:39]
it's like four separate folios
[34:40]
actually make up this one
[34:42]
building essentially and the
[34:44]
second from the bottom where it
[34:45]
says one story building is
[34:47]
where our offices are. And we
[34:49]
came before this board a few
[34:50]
years ago for the approval of
[34:52]
that fence and the little
[34:53]
courtyard that you'll see in
[34:54]
some of these photos. What
[34:56]
we're essentially trying to do
[34:57]
is replace an old gate and
[34:58]
fence that's just down the
[34:59]
street next to the other
[35:01]
building in front of the other
[35:02]
courtyard with something that
[35:04]
looks exactly the same that's
[35:07]
more artistically um attractive
[35:10]
and um the esthetics would be
[35:11]
you know, to match right. The
[35:14]
other fence um what we're doing
[35:15]
in general in the neighborhood
[35:17]
is we're trying to kind of
[35:19]
improve and adaptively reuse a
[35:21]
lot of the existing structures
[35:23]
and to try to create a
[35:25]
neighborhood vibe and
[35:26]
neighborhood energy. We are
[35:27]
trying to have a lot of the
[35:29]
things match right? So similar
[35:30]
landscaping on the same
[35:31]
property. So you'll know when
[35:33]
you go to our area oh you're in
[35:35]
you're in you're in the soy
[35:36]
area right? Which is what we
[35:38]
call our our little area of
[35:41]
wynwood. Um so if anybody has
[35:43]
any questions about the fence
[35:44]
itself and the construction of
[35:46]
it, I have our contractor here.
[35:48]
I'd like to just skip forward
[35:49]
to some of these photos. So
[35:52]
this is the existing fence in
[35:54]
front of our office as it
[35:56]
exists today we came before the
[35:57]
board. We originally had a
[35:58]
different design. The louvers
[35:59]
were a little bit more
[36:01]
concealing the board wanted at
[36:03]
the time it was a different
[36:05]
board but the board wanted um
[36:07]
more more see through to to be
[36:09]
more inviting. So when the gate
[36:11]
is closed you could see through
[36:13]
the courtyard and when it's and
[36:14]
then during the day it's
[36:17]
typically open. Um it's not a
[36:18]
public courtyard but you know
[36:20]
it's open like this as you see
[36:21]
in this picture and you could
[36:22]
kind of see the murals and you
[36:24]
could see the landscape behind
[36:26]
it. So the idea is to do
[36:27]
something similar on the one
[36:28]
that's just next door. We
[36:31]
actually um have some tenants
[36:33]
that are operating in those
[36:34]
spaces that you'll see when I
[36:37]
get to that photo. Um here this
[36:39]
is the existing fence as it was
[36:40]
when we bought the property. It
[36:42]
has this sheet metal kind of
[36:43]
covering from being able to see
[36:45]
in we got all these murals
[36:46]
painted. We have beautiful art
[36:48]
on the walls but you kind of
[36:49]
can't see it now even when this
[36:52]
gate is open. Um it's partially
[36:53]
concealed. The entrance to one
[36:55]
of the retail spaces is
[36:57]
actually behind that fence. Um
[36:59]
we just rented it to a tenant
[37:01]
who's moving in now. Um there's
[37:03]
a nail salon in there and then
[37:04]
we have some interest in the
[37:05]
space that's right here. So
[37:07]
we're trying to kind of create
[37:09]
a nice courtyard area for all
[37:10]
the tenants to use. And then
[37:11]
one of the spaces is actually
[37:14]
still used by us as a as a
[37:15]
satellite office for our design
[37:18]
team. Um and so the the idea
[37:20]
this is what the courtyard
[37:21]
looks like today, right? The
[37:25]
idea is to replace this fence
[37:27]
with um something that will
[37:28]
look very similar. This is just
[37:30]
to give you a view of the
[37:32]
street vibes that we have here
[37:33]
with all the murals, right? So
[37:35]
there's a lot of art on the
[37:36]
walls. This is the existing
[37:39]
fence here. And then if we
[37:41]
replace the other fence with
[37:43]
the similar this is a rendering
[37:44]
of what we're looking to do
[37:46]
with the courtyard. So it'll
[37:48]
open up you'll be able to see
[37:49]
into it we're going to
[37:51]
landscape it um put some
[37:53]
benches um this doesn't show it
[37:54]
but probably some shade sails
[37:55]
to give it a little bit more
[37:57]
shade in the courtyard as well.
[37:59]
And this is another rendering
[38:01]
to kind of show you know what
[38:03]
the the fence would look like
[38:04]
the esthetic right open and
[38:07]
closed. Um it's also um better
[38:09]
for security reasons as well.
[38:11]
The current fence is is
[38:12]
difficult for employees to open
[38:14]
and close and the way that it
[38:16]
locks you have your back to the
[38:18]
street as opposed to this will
[38:20]
be able to get in and out a lot
[38:24]
easier. Um so um that's that's
[38:26]
basically it um as far as the
[38:28]
design and everything, um you
[38:31]
know, we felt that by having
[38:33]
the fences match um that the
[38:35]
esthetic itself is the artistic
[38:37]
part of it right and that
[38:39]
you'll be able to now see all
[38:40]
these beautiful murals that are
[38:47]
behind it. Thank you. Any
[38:51]
comments from the board? I
[38:53]
wanted to give a little bit of
[38:54]
background on that text
[38:57]
amendment in 2025. So back then
[38:59]
the park that was sitting here
[39:01]
made a recommendation to the
[39:02]
planning department to increase
[39:05]
the purview of the park so that
[39:07]
any new fence or wall in the
[39:09]
public right of way will come
[39:10]
here and get a recommendation
[39:13]
on the art and but that was
[39:14]
basically for new developments,
[39:16]
right? This is like a project
[39:17]
like this like jonathan is
[39:19]
bringing today it's adaptive
[39:21]
reuse that they're making a
[39:22]
change to improve their
[39:23]
property but they still comply
[39:25]
with coming and you know,
[39:27]
presenting his work and see how
[39:29]
it fits into the rest of his
[39:31]
development area. But just for
[39:33]
you guys to understand why why
[39:34]
he's here. Understood.
[39:37]
>> and we I appreciate the the
[39:39]
proposal and the effort to open
[39:42]
it up for public view. I think
[39:44]
the murals that you have
[39:45]
obviously spent a lot of time
[39:46]
in curating them and
[39:48]
maintaining them and so to be
[39:49]
able to share that with the
[39:51]
public I think is a benefit to
[39:52]
the neighborhood. Yeah.
[39:57]
>> thank you. So I will say ask
[40:04]
for a motion to approve. I
[40:07]
second that approval. All in
[40:11]
favor. Aye aye. Motions passed
[40:15]
for item number 19789 of the
[40:16]
fence. Thank you so much. Thank
[40:18]
you very much. Approve as
[40:30]
presented. Thank you very much.
[40:35]

[40:37]

[40:40]
