“Is the applicant here, and do they wish to speak? OK. Anybody from the public? Sorry, are you the applicant? Do you want to speak, or are you here for questions if there are any? OK.

“Okay. Maybe you can give us sort of your architectural vision and overview. I mean, we've read the packet. I'm sure there's questions, but give us your thoughts.”

“Okay, gotcha. No problem. Okay, thank you. We're going to open it up to the public and then to the board, and I'm sure we may have some additional questions for you, so stay close. Okay. Anyone from the public wish to speak? Okay, seeing none. Board members, your thoughts and comments, please. Moses, do you want to go first? You want Carlos to go first? Okay.”

“I think we get the gist of your initial comments. Moses, did you have? Okay. So I'm not crazy. I think this was submitted for last month's, but it was deferred. So I had reviewed it. I was like, I know I've looked at this before.”

“Yeah. We didn't discuss it. So I do share some of Carlos's initial response just to the look and feel of the mass and the scale and the compatibility with the fabric of Surfside. I have no problem with sort of modern architecture and, you know, that sort of concept, but I think... This does read, first of all, I think we don't see a real contextual, you know, this is what it looks like next to the real homes that it'll sit next to. We have sort of these gray boxes that are, I think, supposed to represent but don't really show us at scale what those neighbors look like. So I think it would be…”

“Yeah, go ahead. You can you can scroll down. I think it's just one down. Yeah. So the proportions of that upper room, they're sort of the balcony feels a little awkward to me. I measured it and I think it was like 11 and a half feet wide by 12 feet high, I think. And I just I don't that height with that width seems awkward. And I'm not sure you need the 12-foot ceiling on the second floor. And so that would be something I'd want you to take another look at. I think you did provide a nighttime rendering. Yeah. So another thing that we've worked hard to try to move people away from are the…”

“Yeah, take a look at 6, 9, and 10. I think 6 was a mango. And that's a real special tree here. So if there's any way you could incorporate that into your deck or otherwise, sometimes I've seen some cool cutouts of the deck around an existing tree that creates some nice shade and vegetation. So those were my comments. I also want to make sure we loop back around to you on the upper story setbacks.”

“And I would also recommend, we're on our agenda tonight, our design guidelines, which we've been working on for a year plus. I would highly encourage you to take a look at those. I think that a lot of the things we've been repeating at meetings are captured there, so that would be also a good guideline. Okay, so I think we're ready for a motion. I think I don't hear a consensus for approval, but we can either deny or defer.”

“Okay. Um, so I hear, are you motioning moving to defer to date certain next meeting motion to defer for the next meeting? Okay. Do I have a second?”
