Here’s Why 1060 Brickell Want’s The City To Scrap Approval For Ugo Colombo’s Brickell Flatiron




Quote:
A lawyer representing the 1060 Brickell condominium association wants Brickell Flatiron’s approval thrown out, saying that the Planning Department failed to follow proper procedures.

In a letter, attorney (and former Miami Beach commissioner and Mayoral candidate) Michael Góngora wrote that the approval failed to meet requirements for a MUSP Modification for three reasons:

It would change the manner of operation of the project, compared to the original 70-story Enrique Norten structure proposed for the site.

The lot coverage would be substantially altered, splitting the original structure into two separate building components.

The taller of the two buildings does not comply with the front setback above the 8th story along South Miami Avenue.

Góngora also objected to the review process, saying that a decision should have been made by a Zoning Administrator instead of the Planning Director.

Should a board decide at a meeting tomorrow that the modifications don’t meet requirements, developer Ugo Colombo could be required to revert to the original approved MUSP, an Enrique Norten design. He could also try to revise the MUSP again in a way that meets zoning requirements, or discard the MUSP and submit new plans that comply with the Miami 21 zoning code.

1060 Brickell is a twin-tower, 576-unit condominium built in 2008. It is located across the street from the Brickell Flatiron site.
