All righty.

Minutes. The WDRC minutes from the May 26 meeting. Everybody had a chance to look at those. If there's any comments, otherwise, a motion for approval. Thank you. About a second. Anyone want to second those?

Second.

Thank you, Jared. All in favor, approval of the May 26th minutes. Aye. Aye. Aye. Okay. Everybody good? In case my hearing failed me. Okay.

Very good.

I think that's the warm ups.

Excuse me, Chair. We have no online public comments. Can we please close online public comments?

Yes. My apologies for skating over top of that. Thank you. All righty.

Item number one, WDRC. Minute track ID, 19399. Address, 275 Northwest 26th Street. Project name, Fish Cheeks. Location, NRD1, Transit Zone T50. application type, remodeling, and repairs. Art or glass treatment shall be a design to be approved by the Planning Department with the recommendation of the Wynwood Design Review Committee.

Thank you. Good morning. This is Gilbert Adick with Ethic Architecture and Design, 2275 Northwest 84th Avenue, Doral, Florida. Should I connect the screen or? Please. Okay. So we are seeking approval of facade modifications to an existing building. We are not modifying the actual structure of the project. It's only a mural that's being added and an addition of glass block. The concept you can see in the renderings, it's basically like tying into the existing Wynwood history and also The glass block brings in components of the restaurant's history as well, which links it back to the clay blocks and the entire temples, which became, that's where the colors are coming from, which became the restaurant branding colors. What's interesting about this facade is in daytime you get to see the mural, the paint mural throughout, you know, calling attention to the space. And also at night you get the ambient lighting from the restaurant within lighting up the colors of the glass block. Another component of the design is that we added a modest sign right above the gate on the side entry of the restaurant name. We kind of looked at existing places around and we used similar scales to keep it within the context.

So as the entrance into the

restaurant the door opening to facing the street or is it through the gated garden it's through the gated walkway the door in the middle this is an existing space that the client took over the door in the middle was designated as a fire exit there's a mural paint yes

Thoughts, reactions? If there are no comments, would you just do me one favor? Would you skate through your slides quickly, please, just to refresh? Some night images. That's helpful.

Also night images. Yes. Correct. Yes.

Yes.

On the microphone, please.

So on the night image, is there a requirement for the sign to be able to be lit so people would have an idea? I mean, otherwise, personally, I think it looks cool. I love the glass block.

No, it's not a requirement, and it's also not part of the permit. So if they were to come back with a permit for the signage, you could make a recommendation to illuminate the sign.

Just a question.

Yeah, there's no requirement.

Chair, I move for approval of the package as presented.

Thank you. If I could just hold that. Just one question. The small window to the left of the door, is there any reason why you didn't carry the glass block concept in closing up that opening as well?

I believe that was an existing takeout window for the previous restaurant. I believe they may still leave it as an Uber takeout window as well.

Okay. Do we have a second on Heidi's motion?

Second.

Thank you. Zion, all in favor then of Fish Cheeks Submittal as presented?

Aye. Aye. Aye.

I'm going to pass on that. Otherwise, or vote no to be very clear.

Chair, who seconded the motion?

That was Zion Mass. Thank you. Okay, and so we have, yes, yes, yes, yes, you're approved.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Back to you, Ricky. WDRC item number two, Manitowoc ID-19400. Property address, 2217 North Miami Avenue. Project name, Paris Baguette. Location, NRD 1, transit zone T680. Application type, signage. All non-painted building identification and business identification signs within NRD 1, 4, T5, T6, and D1 transit zones shall adhere to the Miami Zoning Code Article 10, Table 15 sign standards and Wynwood signage guidelines.

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. I don't know if you see the presentation. Good morning, my name is Cesar Paoli. I'm the owner and franchisee for Paris Baguette. Paris Baguette is a multinational brand owned by a South Korean company. They have about 5,000 stores worldwide. Yeah, and I'm opening the first one in Miami, and we choose Wynwood to be the first one. I wanted to show you this first picture because I wanted to show you that.

I think we lost it on the screen. Yeah, if you could try unplugging and plugging again.

All right.

And then maybe just, like, try not to touch the laptop too much. Yeah. There you go. Okay.

Yeah, I just wanted to show you this picture inside because... Sorry. Let me try here. Okay.

Yeah, I don't know what's happening.

Let me try on the other side, I guess. No? Should I go to the other? Okay.

Yeah, try the other one. Ah, there you go.

I didn't touch anything. Should I move over there?

Thank you.

I do not know what is happening. I don't know if it's, I mean, it's a new cable, so it can't be.

He's calling IT to see if he can help out. The IT person is coming to help out.

Thank you. There it goes. I think it's a laptop. Can I send it to somebody's laptop?

You can grab mine.

But I would have to email it to you.

I have the presentation here. Oh, you have it there? OK. We don't have an interior picture.

Well, what I was saying is the picture that I showed you before is that I wanted to make an example that the Paris Baguette in Wynwood looks different from 5,000 other Paris Baguettes because we included like a Wynwood touch with a mural and concrete floors and like an industrial look in there.

So we have it in front of us here. So what is the treatment on the windows?

No, that's just the vinyl, like the pre-opening vinyl, but we took that away already.

So where's the mural located?

It's inside in the picture that you saw, the first picture that you saw on the top. It has a nice mural in the inside. But the presentation was to approve the sign outside. That is just the corporate sign that they have. There's not much I could do about that. I could convince them to do a little bit different in the inside and make it more windward-like. But design is just a corporate decision that is not.

So it's the white with the blue edging and the 5,000 Paris baguettes?

Yeah, it's exactly like that. In my presentation I had a couple pictures of the signs next to it and the other Establishments that they look pretty similar The pink pink pot place and the late legacy sign there right next to me. They're very similar signs Too bad. I can't show it to you, but they're in there in the deck that I sent anyways But it's just Yep, I don't know if you have any questions I The lady with me, she is from Forever Signs. They created the sign, so if you have any technical questions about it, she can answer them.

Thoughts, anyone?

What do the other storefronts have their signage? It's the same place. It's the same place.

Yeah, exactly the same.

Are there any other elements of signage in the other storefronts, like drum heads that are perpendicular?

No.

Wall signs? No.

They look exactly like that, but with a different name. It says Legacy, which is a gym that is next on the right side, and then the ping-pong place next to me. They look pretty similar. You can even see the ping-pong sign here a little bit.

Yeah.

Like I said, I had it on my presentation with the pictures of the other two, so you can see that they're quite similar. This vinyl here, it's not there anymore. You're gonna be able to see the inside of the store and the nice mural inside.

Okay. Anyone, questions? Otherwise, motion. Do we have a motion for approval?

34? Sure.

Good morning, so that's gonna be, it's an aluminum beam that's gonna be anchored to the concrete, to the roof. So the letters are attached to the beam. Legacy and PinkPod, we did it ourselves too, Forever Science did it, so it's the same form of attachment.

No, PinkPod, we did, yeah.

So the power, yeah, all the electrical connections are going to be inside the beam. Yeah, nothing is exposed. You're not going to be able to see any wires. So you mean how, like, I think it's like three, three, five inches.

The note says six by four.

Let me see.

There you go, there you go.

Yep, by an eighth.

That's actually pretty tall. The roof where the sign goes is quite tall, quite high. So I don't think anybody will be able to see anything.

Anyone else?

Yeah.

What's the overall dimensions, can you sum in, of the signage?

It's a foot tall by 200 feet.

200 inches.

200 inches.

So I just had to take a moment to look at some of the adjacent ones. So Legacy, they went with the larger, they have that bull or whatever animal head that's there. And then I think the other one is like Pinrod where it's pink and it's got the logo. I think in my recommendation is that they go back and look to see if they can increase the aluminum plate, try and do something, because the font is corporate. They're not even trying to make an attempt with construction materials to make it a bit more artistic. To your point, I understand where you added murals on the inside, but when the lights are off and the place is unoccupied, It's going to look like corporate America. We have, and this committee has, when we've had other signs from like Starbucks and other people come through, we've encouraged them to try to find a way to make it a little more eclectic. So my recommendation is... to look at possibly using materials whether it's creating an outline with that aluminum edging or something, I don't know, to make it a little more creative. Again, just my two cents.

I get what you're saying, but believe me, I tried, and the sign is like the same in 5,000 stores. The inside is quite different from all the stores. I convinced them to do that, but the sign, I think it's a hard fight because it's their corporate sign. I don't think they're going to change it, but I can ask them and see.

Did you consider other options, like the underside of the canopy, things that aren't affecting the corporate sign, kind of the sacred font and so forth? I'm not putting words in Heidi's mouth, but reacting, I think, similarly, that just the facade could be anywhere. And part of that may be the building that is existing and lacking in graphics, or at least in what we're seeing of it here. And so is there anything else that doesn't violate the corporate font that could be done on the canopy, underside of the canopy, or on the sides of it, or on the windows, that just brings a little bit of Wynwood to the business? People might think you're in Columbus, Ohio.

I mean, like I said, I talked to them about it, and they said that they weren't very flexible with the sign. They were flexible inside. I had to push hard for them to be flexible because they wanted to do a cookie-cutter store like everybody everywhere else with the tile and the... Same things, and I convinced them to, you know, keep the concrete floors, to not put the ceiling that they do in all the stores, that it looks very corporate as well, so we kept the high open ceilings and, like, industrial style. The mural was a big fight, and they agreed, and then I, I mean, I can try, certainly. I don't know what else to say, but I tried, I tried, believe me. But you know, corporate people, corporate corporations like this, they're not as flexible as you might want.

Just show them the rejection from our team and let them know that the city had opinions about their sign and remind them that Starbucks came by and tried to go through the process and they made some changes to their, you know, they come.

If I can say something, the reason why we proposed it there was because in the building, all the signs are there. Right. On the concrete ledge.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know if you can tell us how else, I mean, where else would we put it? I'm not sure if on the column, like vertical.

Well, do you have a, images of those other signs? Yeah, I did in my computer.

In his computer.

So I don't think it's, and again, I'm not speaking for the rest of my committee here, but I don't think it's the location. I think it's the signs. So, like, as much as I appreciate, you know, as the architect, you advocating to the entity that inside you want to be Wynwood, we are more concerned about outside of maintaining the artistic nature of the district. And I think in large part that our intention is they could try to find a way that allows them to keep their branded logo and adding a little whether it is adding a ripple of color or something, because what is Wynwood? It is the graphics, it is artistic. That still allows them to maintain their brand, because what you've done, as important as it is, and it's showing through the storefront, that can easily change. Or if they put shades on the window, then I've lost that artistic quality. flavor right so i think um and again i don't want to speak for the board i think that it could be another means to be creative while maintaining their font um because i don't think the way as presented we're comfortable giving approval okay i recommend disapproval of this sign as submitted i

I'm not trying to disagree with you. I guess I'm trying to understand if they, so it seems like you want color. So if they change the, I'm not putting words in their mouth, but if they change the color, how does that make that more artistic than white?

So again, we're taking this with a grain of salt, right? You've already said this is a corporate logo. We're trying to, I don't care if you use materials, I don't care if you use color, that's up to you guys to see what they're okay with. But if the Starbucks of the world can do something similar when they have locations in Soho, because the area by its nature is supposed to be different, this is... where we're asking you to encourage them to be more creative, I think that's what we're looking for as a board. I don't care what you do. I think doing nothing is just not something we're going to approve.

I wasn't here for Starbucks, so clearly you guys were. Can we give them an idea? I'm trying to help them so that we can, they can open a business and they can be successful. So can we give them an idea?

A sign doesn't mean that they don't open their business. Sure.

Well, I mean, we give them, can we give them some background as to how Starbucks changed their sign? I've walked by all the time, but I don't know that I've noticed it being different than a normal Starbucks.

Yeah, it was, Starbucks is just an example. It was extremely frustrating for us, you know, through seeing Wynwood change and ultimately, you know, They made some sacrifices in the artistic. They put a mural in front, which was, to me, not that great, but they made an effort is the point that we're trying to make. Whether it came out at the end good or not.

But their Starbucks sign is the green Starbucks sign.

The sign is different in Starbucks? No. Because they did the mural, but the sign is the same.

No, it was that they added a mural in addition to the sign.

But where can they add a mural here?

But we added a mural, too.

I'm saying, I don't know, guys, the bottom of this canopy, they could ask the landlord for permission to maybe do something at the bottom of the canopy or use the edge of the canopy or use the columns. I mean, there's a thousand things that they can do. We're reacting to the sign. We're not giving them advice on art.

But this isn't a facade permit. This is a sign permit.

Okay, and we're saying we don't like the sign.

But I'm going to motion to vote on this.

Right. So we can all vote now and move on, or we can have a conversation about it.

I think in terms of moving forward and giving you some feedback, it's in terms of the design. So the sign is not trying very hard. It's a very corporate sign slapped on the top of a canopy at the center. And Wynwood, it's a very artistic area. We don't want to, so if you want some design input on design, I think one is the scale of design. Design is, it's huge. I know it's per code. Two is materiality. Can you use a different materiality? I mean, can you be, you know, Does it have to be center? So I think the sign is very corporate, very plain, very temple sign. That could be good, but that could be very bad. I think it's, I mean, if you walk there, this could be anywhere. So when you...

Excuse me. If you see right now, I'm... It's bad that I did this picture with the vinyl, because if you see the store without the vinyl, you can see the mural inside. I mean, it's going to look artistic. You can see that the establishment has art inside. The thing is that the vinyl is blocking the entrance, but if I can show you the picture again, and it's not going to look like that. I mean, it's going to look, from the street, you're going to be able to see the mural inside. And I mean, I saw what Starbucks did in Wynwood, and they did do artistic, but we did as well. But the sign outside is Starbucks, I think, is the same sign.

Does your computer work enough to be able to show us the inside?

The sign's 12 inches. I think it looks bigger than when it... If they're saying it's 12 inches, this is 12 inches.

To argue towards your point, which is important, is that what happened with Starbucks is they came back, they were supposed to come back and show us the change or just do a mural. And the mural that they ended up doing wasn't that great. So it was like a double whammy where we had a bad sign that was, not a bad sign, but a corporate sign and a bad mural. So it ended up being... the outcome ended up being worse because we argued for a mural that ended up being not that great.

But as someone who's a landlord and has been a landlord for a long time, when you're dealing with a company that's got 5,000 locations, I ran a business that had 2,500 locations. Our sign was our sign. If Starbucks has the green sign up, how can we not allow Paris Baguette to have their corporate sign up?

It's a valid argument. That's what we're here for, is try to figure out how to keep the identity of the neighborhood

The landlord here in this case has built a building that they have their storefronts glass. So there's only so much they can do with their storefront. The building getting their WDRC approval, maybe then there should have been more art incorporated into the facade. Here it's all glass. They have a 20, 25 foot wide storefront.

Please use the microphone.

Okay, I got it.

This one that is on the same, this is all the same line.

This is all the same line.

This is all the same line. This is Legacy, which is the gym that is next to me. Then it's the ping pong place, and then it's us. But right now, we have the vinyl because the vinyl is, you know, before you open, you have this vinyl to show that it's coming soon. But without the vinyl, I believe with the lights on, it's going to look beautiful because you're going to be able to see the mural inside from the street. We don't have a wall. We don't have walls like the general set outside like Starbucks to do a mural outside. So we did it inside.

Go back to your mural, please.

The interior shot.

The interior? Please.

Right.

So sometimes little things become big things. Jared, I think you raise a really good point, which is the developer somewhere along the way got approval or built a building. The two adjacent signs are boring and could be anywhere. I'm not bashing on Columbus, Ohio, but I mean, they're just, they're generic. And so it raises the question about do we just go along with a third generic sign, or do we try to put our creative hats on and come up with something that makes it a little more? Kind of middle of the road, I respect what what Member Heide is saying about the sign, and I'm also respectful that when you get a franchise or a license or some sort of a business, you kind of get their mark that comes with it. So what comes to mind to me is whether there's the ability to encumber an approval with the condition that that mural somehow is brought outside. I don't know whether it's on the columns of the building and whether that's or whether it's under the canopy of the building. The mural looks quite beautiful and it actually refers to Wynne Wood and it makes kind of a creative attempt.

And if I can add something, the building facade has art too. So there's a lot of art in the building and the facade next to me. I'm here, and then the building next to me has, there's art everywhere in the building. This is one of the most painted, it's a new building, Strata, I don't know if you've seen it, but there's art in the facade. Do you have pictures of that? Let me see.

I'm trying to find a... maybe a little bit of an off-ramp here. I hate the idea that two boring signs got permitted, so a third should be okay.

But in Legacy's example, that's their logo. They use their logo, and the letters happen to be white also. And so they're using their corporate logo for their sign. It's no different than what's trying to be done here.

Mm-hmm. No, I got it. This is very helpful. Will the interior of the store, you own the store? Will the interior of the store have some sort of low-level lighting at night so that that mural's on 24-7? So that entire upper mural will always be lit.

Can you use the microphone, please? The handheld one? Yeah.

So when you're driving from north to south, the whole side of the store, it's glass. So you're going to be able to see the inside of all the mural from the street just by driving by. So it's like you don't have the art in the facade, but you have it inside, and you're going to be able to see it through the window.

Okay. Well, I think we've chewed on this quite a bit. We have a standing motion recommending disapproval. We can take a second to that motion or we can put it to a vote. Or Heidi, if you want to revisit your motion, you can do that. And I'm not cutting off any questions. I'm just sensing that in the spirit of time, I'm not sure how much more we can accomplish here. between what the tenant is proposing to do under a signage permit and what the developer has been able to do and what the predecessors have been able to do. And I just don't think we can change history today. So that's kind of where we are.

Is there any way I can get a temporary or something? Because I need, I mean, I need... Like an approval with condition... I mean, I need to, I'm ready to open, and the corporate, I mean, it's going to be tough for them to let me open without any sign. Everything, I mean, the store is ready. Like, employees, I have rent, everything, you know.

How does the temporary signage work? It doesn't?

It's not possible.

So, Chair, I retract my motion. And if you wanna call for the question, someone else would like to provide a new motion, then we can vote.

Okay, so there is no motion on the floor. We're starting with a fresh slate.

Okay, can I ask you a question? Would you be willing, as a condition for approval, to agree to keep your lights on at nighttime? So I'll make a motion to approve with conditions that the store needs to be lit at night to allow for pedestrians to see the artwork. Interior lighting.

And we're going to be open until 9 p.m. anyway.

But to be abundantly clear, the motion is for approval so long as the internal mural is lighted 24-7. Yeah, absolutely. Visible from the street. Absolutely. Do we have a second for that motion?

I just want to make clear, 24-7 or at least up to, I mean, two, three in the morning or you want it the entire night? Because at some point in time, food traffic does end. I just, there is certain, you know, FPNL and the cost of that. So I just want to make sure that we're clear that 24-7 means he can never turn off the lights.

I also want to add, so I'm understanding what the motion is, is to essentially approve it as presented as is, not any changes to the sign. Correct. After the discussion I've heard today, you guys are comfortable with that decision? That's what I'm hearing?

I am. They don't have to second it. There's a motion to approve the sign as submitted with an asterisk that says so long as the mural is lighted. And it could be if it's not 24-7 from?

I mean, what time does the, because I know there's a lot of nightlife in Wynwood, so let's say all the establishments close at 3 a.m., we can do 3 a.m. to, we're gonna be open at, we're gonna have people in there Anyway, we're going to have bakers there from 2 a.m. So, yeah, we can leave it on, basically, because there's going to be people doing baked goods from 2 a.m. until the whole night. So, I don't mind leaving the lights on.

Okay. I just would not put 24 cents. The condition is that the sign, this is the way I'm understanding the motion, that the sign is approved as presented with the condition that the mural in the interior of the

store remain lit throughout the night well said perfect what she said i make that motion so we have a um we have a motion do we have a second to that is the chair allowed to vote to make a second you can but you have to pass the gavel I'll pass the gavel to my right, to Miguel.

Second that.

For the record. And then I will second the motion from Jared Bernabin.

Okay, so now we're gonna do a roll call, just to be clear. So then you gotta call the roll. He can't call it, you call it.

Roll call. All in favor.

All in favor. Aye. Aye. Aye.

Okay, so it was four to one or four to abstain? So you're abstaining. Okay.

Okay.

Good passes.

So we're good? I think you got a business.

Thank you. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

I guarantee it's going to look very good when you see the mural. Well, I hope the bagels are as good as the signage. Bagels? The baguettes. I mean the baguettes.

The baguettes.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you. Back to you, Ricky. And I assume, Miguel, you'll pass the gavel back to me? Yeah. Thank you. Yes.

A man and his gavel. You got the gavel. WDRC item number three, minute track ID 19422, property address 112 Northwest 28th Street. Project name, Nino Gordo Wynwood. Location NRD1, transit zone T5, T5-0. Art and glass treatment shall be designed to be approved by planning director with the recommendation of the Windward Design Review Committee. Thank you.

Good morning.

Hello.

My name is Eduardo. the group Niño Gordo. I want to give you an introduction to Niño Gordo group. We are one of the 50 best list of Latin America restaurants. And this group is really attached to the community, especially to the art world. I don't know if nobody know Niño Gordo from inside or outside. Everything is related to art. I have few pictures to show you. and also have the picture of that side. We use different toys for Asia, too, in the bar.

Also, it's a wallpaper, fabric. Everything match. Everything is custom. Everything is related. We are even the one in Argentina. They are really close relation with all the artists in Argentina. That is why they pick Wynwood to do the next project.

Is this already built or?

It's already built. Okay, in Wynwood. Yeah. The problem here was we have to approve our front, but our front was done before coming here.

No problem, yeah, I see it.

And Sony say that for us to get that approved, get our CO, we have to go through this. And I'm here to get approved our front.

Great.

I wanna show you our front. Our front is a massive cocoa dry on the door. We have two techniques, face-up and graffiti on top. Two are very well-known streets. I have some samples of the work, if you want to see. I can show you people love to take pictures on our front. We are part of the Wingwood tours, all the tours go through our street. We are the only ones in that street, 28, who have a mural.

How many stores do you guys have?

Here in Miami, one. All over in Argentina, they have eight. They are really known. We do a lot of work with another restaurant. It's how they work. They work with artists and other restaurants and bars all the time. They go around the world all year, and they pick Wingwood because... The art. Of course. And the one in Argentina is the same front with a Tira de Salud Rex. They have another type, but it's the same. But our idea is to get approved this most because we need to get our CEO and the Sony. Yeah. Sony approve it, but I'd say we have to get an artist approved.

And it says Nino Gordo Wynwood. Is that the mural? It's on the cock-a-drow, and how big is that?

No, those... Oh, okay. It's paste-ups. No, that one. Then it's a few paste-ups, a lot of paste-ups. Once in a while, it's one paste-up that say Niño Gordo.

Right, on the bottom, below that pin.

But we say we need to remove it. We don't mind because we have some that are plain. The problem is the name. we can remove those and put the other ones they are playing. Because some they are playing, they have some Chinese letters and drawings. And once in a while, we have one, they have a Nino Gordo jumping in a duck or jumping something and say Nino Gordo. But if that is the problem, we can paste up on the top.

Does any... Does it cover the door? Is that the... On the image that's in the application package of the entire frontage.

No, no, because we need to uncover the door because of fire safety.

Is that your front door?

Yes, front door. Everything is graffiti.

And that's a glass door?

It's a glass door.

Okay. And the staff just, what's being approved? Just the aspect that he's now done artwork to the facade? Yeah.

Correct. It's only the facade. Okay.

You good with it? Yeah?

I move for approval. Yeah.

All in favor?

Aye. Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Second. Second.

Nice work. Thank you so much. Looks great. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

All righty.

Hola, soy Capitan Freddy Cruz de la Policía de la Ciudad de Miami, y hoy queremos hablar de la seguridad cuando uno está cruzando las calles. Siempre le pedimos a los peatones, cuando están cruzando, no crucen el centro de la calle de un lado al otro. Usen la línea designada, como aquí tienen un ejemplo. Si van a cruzar de aquí a allá, usen esta línea designada aquí en la zona residencial. Por favor, hemos visto muchos accidentes, muchas tragedias, no queremos ver más.
