“And while our return friend gets set up here, as we've done in the past, there's two applications here. There's 18974 followed by 75. One is the facade sign. The other is the blade. A blade sign. Yeah, that's correct. Suspended, whatever, perpendicular sign. Projecting sign. So I assume one presentation, and then we'll vote on the two. two buckets separately, but you can only make the, you can only have to make the pitch once. Okay, perfect.”

“Do you have an elevation of the loading dock that shows both? And if not, if you just go back to your first application. Just take a look at the. This one here? There it is, right there. Come, come, come, come, good. One more image down. Yeah, just hold up there. That'll kind of, that shows enough. Hold on that one. Comments, thoughts? It's kind of a tricky, as simple as it is, it's kind of a tricky signage application to look at because I think the signage works, notwithstanding other board members I'm not... singling that out. But what's interesting about it is all of the projects that we…”

“Aye. It's unanimous. I assume just through the building, does this space, I assume there's a fit out of a lounge or a bar inside. that has to go through. I'm looking at you, you're like, I don't know, I didn't sign it. Is there an approval through the building department on this?”

“There's just some... little guy in the back of my head saying, wow, you know, you got people queuing up at a fire exit and you got the fireman's control and all that. As long as there's a permit review session that goes unrelated to us.”

“Can you stay on that for a minute? So NRD1 and T6, is that what you said? Correct. And then the brownish areas, NRD2 and T5.”

“I have a devilish question to ask, pardon my ignorance. Is the limit of the Wynwood, it was a question I had earlier, is the limit of the Wynwood WDRC zone, little z, is that 29th?”

“Our purview is the 12-story part of the building. Yes. And there might be some... plinth level parking pool or whatever, but not facing south from 30th for the five-story.”

“If you can hold on that. Somebody was skimming through pages in the presentation and there was a street level view showing what was underneath the arcade or Paseo. It was that view, but I thought I saw somebody skip by. I think it was this one here. It had the artwork underneath.”

“And just as a question, why the color and animation there but not on the 29th Street facade?”

“I'm not sure what I think of that, but just hold that question. A question for the landscape architect. Why not... continue the palm trees on the 29th side, which really what we've got jurisdiction over talking about today.”

“Okay, so the Wynwood design guidelines don't allow trees along the 29th?”

“And what are those? Yeah, not the median, the planting edge.”

“Splendid. And really, for the attorney question, you mentioned earlier the adjacent property and buying or acquiring some of the upper... I assume air rights, future development rights. Is that building as it sits then limited at that height? They can't build higher in the future and sort of block Frida's chin or anything?”

“Yeah, I'm trying to really make sure that we've got an understanding as we think about the rendering of the interpretation of Frida on the facade. And I won't attempt to repeat Zion's comments about artistic interpretation, all of that. I thought was very well said. What I'm more curious about is that the adjacent developer decides to do whatever height they're allowed to do, and does that leave you with a kind of Frida looking over a fence kind of a thing?”

“So without putting words in your mouth, just so I'm going to repeat back what I think I understand is that typically we would get art as a placeholder at this stage of the game, subject to future hiring muralists and so forth. Are you saying that in this case, the final product is going to look very similar to this because of what's already been approved by the Frida Kahlo? Correct.”
