       Avenue shall rise without setback to a height of 85 feet.

       All portions of a #building or other structure# that exceed a height of 85 feet shall be set back from the #street line# at least 10 feet, and shall comply with the tower

       walls# are set back a minimum distance of 10 feet from the Surf Avenue #street line#. All portions of #buildings or other structures# that exceed a transition height of
       95 feet shall comply with the tower provisions of Section 131-444 (Coney North Subdistrict towers).
