> A Miami board has approved a variance needed to build a twin-tower residential project on Flagler Street.

> The Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board voted on April 6 to allow for zero-foot setback above the eighth story of the project, due to a non-conforming lot size. Normally the Miami 21 zoning code would require a 30-foot setback on two sides.

> In addition to the variance, the project is requesting five waivers that can be approved by city staff.

> If built, the project would include two 43-story towers with 391 units. A “secret garden” would separate the two towers.

> The owner of the property is a company controlled by Russell Galbut and Andrew Resnick, but Alliance Capital of Brooklyn has a contract to purchase it.
