Please at least pause this process in Redistricting order to include and Inform the residents affected by it. We oppose to mr Carollo wishes to separate Coconut Grove into three different districts.

The Roberto Ciccione Street. Item problem is by the time the community finds out, the Redistricting tcommissioners have already accepted the developers proposals that are destroying our neighborhood . You have to face it that our local government is very corrupt. We should all want to increase civic engagement amongst residents in Miami. Dividing neighborhoods is not the way to do this. It also creates confusion 1. SP.1 when neighbors across the street have different 1901 Brickell Discussion Charles Walter commissioners. Writing as a Brickell / Downtown Ave B609 Item resident, I consider it important that we preserve the Redistricting integrity of our community as part of District 2. If anything, we should be considering expanding our geographic area to I95. If District 2 needs to reduce district as they are heavily urbanized with similar challenges. The rationale for redistricting, based on population growth, doesn't take into consideration the citizens of 3047 Matilda the district. By dividing a community with such an 1.

If this is Item Grove, FL even a consideration, the citizens of Coconut Grove Redistricting 33133 should start the process of creating our own city, like Coral Gables, away from the insensitive politics of the City of Miami. This attempt is purely political and should not be 1. SP.1 allowed.

Redistricting needs more time and consideration. The 200 Biscayne 1.

This will 33131 Redistricting dilute the voice of citizens of Brickell and Downtown. Redistricting should make sure to keep 1.

SP.1 The citizens do not want this - if you took the time to 3060 Matilda Discussion spread awareness of the redistricting plan rather than Sarah Stone Fan st Item letting this pass in the dead of night you would find Redistricting very passionate opposition from all constituencies. The plan to redistrict by dividing the Coconut Grove community is a direct violation of the requirement to protect communities of interest. Since the earliest days of Miami's history this former village has been a 1. SP.1 contained area with deep roots and amicable 3276 Gifford Discussion connections. Few sections of today's city have as Anne Thompson Lane Item strong and enduring sense of social unity. The Grove Redistricting comes together in the need for city services, environmental protection, recreational opportunity, and civic pride. I urge the Commission to reconsider the proposed redistricting plan and to allow citizens input and concern to guide the decision making. The proposed District 2 divides neighborhoods, and 500 Brickell 1.

Redistricting Only 2 days ago I was made aware of the Changes to sharing the https://www.change.org/p/one-grove petition. I am shocked that this issue which will affect us all living and working in the grove was not publicly announced sooner, so that citizens are given a chance to learn more and have an informed say in this decision that effects our lives. I did a little online research in the past 2 days, and as of today, was surprised that our commissioner, Ken Russell has not already spoken up on this topic. Nor have I heard any reassurance/opinion from other commissioners (district 3 and 4) about this move. I am proud to call myself a Coconut Grove resident. I chose to buy a house in Coconut Grove because of the wonderful tapestry of history and diversity that exists in my 1. SP.1 3047 Matilda neighborhood. Coconut Grove is a unique Discussion Shannon Roque St, Coconut neighborhood within the greater Miami and has Item Grove, 33133 always maintained its distinct Identity please do not Redistricting break us up. Do not separate us from our fellow North and South Grovites. Do not dilute our voices and votes among three commissioners. We need to keep elected officials accountable to residents. One Grove - One Commissioner. Please give us the time and transparency to find an alternative viable solution. The recent presentation by Miguel DeGrandy (2/7/22 Consultant DeGrandy talking points), on the preliminary redistricting plan, points out that District 2 is where much of the new development activity is occurring, and as in the last decade, it will probably grow faster than the other districts. Coconut Grove will be one of the fastest growing areas in Miami. Perhaps it is time for Coconut Grove to go back to being a separate city just like Coral Gables. Thank you. 1.

The currently proposed change: · divides the historically unified neighborhoods and civic organizations of Coconut Grove; · burdens citizens with triple meetings with multiple Commissioners on neighborhood initiatives and issues; · further reduces the historically important racial diversity for which Coconut Grove is widely known; · reduces the physical connection between north and south Grove areas to a mere 200-yard wide commercial link; and · was hurried and hidden from public view preventing understanding, investigation, and discussion. 1.

Splitting the Brickell neighborhood will go Weinger Item 33131 against community standards. I ask that you table the Redistricting current plan in order to allow for further discussion regarding the matter. I am vehemently opposed to the proposed, irrational, redistricting of Coconut Grove. There is no reason to break up the Grove and dilute our voices among three commissioners. Two of them represent geographical areas east of US 1 and northwest of I 95 which have 51 Bay 1. SP.1 other problems and nothing to do with Coconut Heights Drive Discussion Richard Nadal Grove issues. We need to protect the political Miami, FL Item integrity of the Grove. One Grove - one elected 33133 Redistricting official, not three. We pay a premium in Real Estate taxes, want to protect our property values and expect accountability from our elected official. There is nothing broken that needs fixing, which raises big questions about the motives behind the proposal. I believe the redistricting would negatively impact the 1. SP.1 Coconut Grove community. Having multiple 3162 matilda Discussion Nicole Chernys representatives would lead to segmented leadership st Item for our united community. I am strongly apposed to Redistricting redistricting! I strongly oppose change to the district boundary of Coconut Grove. Alternative boundaries are possible that maintain the historic integrity of Miami's first community.

I strongly oppose change to the district boundary of Coconut Grove. In addition to the well written bullet points below, I have additional reasons for not wanting the Grove to have re-districting. I live in the Grove, I work in the Grove, I exercise, walk my dogs, get coffee, eat, drink, shop - all in the Grove. 99.9% of my time is spent in the Grove, yet if these proposed boundaries pass, I am no longer aligned with my 1. SP.1 fellow Grovites in District 2. All the city does is take, 2935 Discussion Kristina Stout Dalton take, take from us - approve constant development Whitehead St Item with no infrastructure in place to support it, look the Redistricting other way when developers constantly build houses not within city code, make changes to our community because the entire city gets to vote on our business instead of just Grove residents. I refuse to have yet another slight occur in my neighborhood. We are a strong community who identify as Grovites and should remain united. Alternative boundaries are possible that maintain the historic integrity of Miami's more time to review and consider alternate proposals and that there is time and opportunity for our feedback to get incorporated.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration. I am reaching out regarding redistricting as a native born Miami resident who have lived in Brickell and Coconut Grove for large portions of my life. The reason that my husband and I chose to make Coconut Grove our family home was due to the incredible and diverse community it represents. As a young girl I lived on a Sailboat in Dinner Key Marina and attended Coconut Grove Elementary School. Now as a pregnant woman getting ready to start our family here in he Grove I am troubled by the idea of redistricting. My main concern is that this item came out of nowhere. There has been very little transparency regarding redistricting and I am having trouble finding a valid reason to break up Coconut Grove. Anyone that has lived here can attest that we are one community. As stated, I have lived in Center Grove, Dinner Key 1. SP.1 3091 Gifford Marina and South Grove at different points in my life Discussion Krystyna Ermer Lane Miami, and the sentiments have always been unified Item FL 33133 throughout. Breaking apart our districts is going to Redistricting cause an unnecessary rift to our home and our neighbors. The issues we face as a community are issues that need to be discussed and managed as one cohesive unit. I am strongly opposed to this redistricting. It is my recommendation that the commissioners step back and think about whats best for the people of Coconut Grove, not party lines, not based on kickbacks or changing the voting dynamic, but what will enable the Grove to communicate to our commissioner using one voice. Our community has evolved several times over the last 20 years and all of those changes have been made possible using our current districting layout. Please listen to the people, take a step back, publish more information on your choices, take more time to think this through and let the people vote for what they want. they remain as one distinct entity.

I support this movement because, Grove, FL Redistricting as I understand it, the zoning today represents a 33133 diverse student body.

Additionally, I 1.

It is important that as residents we get Coconut Grove is historically the longest continuously occupied neighborhood in the area. The multifaceted, & growing community is a crucial draw for many people to Miami. This overall & cohesive area is widely known for its "very green nature", its abundant tree canopy and its shore line along Biscayne Bay; it is much loved. Newcomers from all over the world gravitate to this beautiful multifaceted "green area", have invested their lives, & made their homes here; they seek the sustainability of these 1. SP.1 basic characteristics which drew them to the area. 3980 Hardie Discussion They do not want Coconut Grove split and parceled Cindy Snyder Ave Item off into multiple city districts. That would be a grave Redistricting disservice to the community & its inhabitants and to Miami in general. Dist. 2 which is growing, does need greater representation which is reflective of the values of the neighborhoods it comprises. It is through the respect for and building upon these neighborhoods' community values and successes rather than splitting neighborhoods that communities thrive & meet the ultimate goals of civilized peoples. While it may be time to start some consideration of adding a 6th district to the city, intact neighborhoods should not be split in the re-districting process. Coconut Grove is the only part of Miami that existed as a municipality (1873) before the City of Miami (1896) existed. Its unique geography and its voting interests should not be carved up. There is no 1. SP.1 community of interests with Districts 3 and 4 north of 41161 Discussion Thomas Santoro Dixie Hwy. It makes far more sense to slide the Malaga Ave Item boundaries of 3 and 4 to the north and slice off the Redistricting north end of District 2 than to carve out chunks of unique Coconut Grove.The proposed plan would begin the destruction of Miami's unique, historic Coconut Grove. Don't do it! Commissioners Joe Carollo, Manolo Reyes, and Alex 1. SP.1 Diaz de la Portilla please say NO to redistricting the 1216 Asturia Discussion Grove. It is ONE Grove and it needs ONE sole district Vicki Cerda Ave Item and ONE commissioner. The area is small, Redistricting redistricting does not make sense & will create all kinds of problems.

I understand that District 2 has grown rapidly over the last few years and that the commissioners have the responsibility to even out the districts. But, I believe that there are better solutions that will keep this community together, including considering adding more commission seats to deal with the growth trajectory that our city is on. Many of the Commissioners have commented that they too represent neighborhoods that are split between districts and that this is not unique to Coconut Grove. This redistricting could be an opportunity to stick as closely to natural neighborhood lines in those places as well, but Coconut Grove is unique in its history as the oldest neighborhood in the City, a settlement of Bahamian immigrants, and what is left of that needs to be preserved. I'm so glad that the Commissioners seem to agree that it is better to get this done right than to do it quickly, so please take time to reconsider this. As a long time Grove resident, I strongly oppose the proposed redistricting. It's clearly politically motivated, and the surreptitious manner in which this 2859 W 1. SP.1 has been expedited is clearly the brainchild of Trade Discussion unethical legal counsel hoping to push this to a point Lauren Turner Avenue, Item of no return before it can become the subject of legal Miami, FL Redistricting challenge. Politics, self-interest and gamesmanship 33133 should not trump the law and the desire of Grovites to stay united. Miami is better than this. Shame on the commissioners. As a resident of North Grove the current redistricting proposal severely impacts my neighborhood. Neighbors could be divided into as many as 3 different voting districts, fracturing our neighborhood in a way that may be mathematically acceptable but morally reprehensible. While we may not all look alike 2350 1. SP.1 or speak the same language, we are a unified Tequesta Discussion community, with common interests, shared values Naomi Levi Garcia Lane Miami Item and voter cohesion. More importantly, the North 33133 Redistricting Grove, like the West Grove, is inextricably part of Coconut Grove at large and should remain wholly intact. I am against any proposal that divides Coconut Grove and firmly believe that the Commission can redistrict in a way that balances the City's population and complies with federal law without carving up one of the oldest neighborhoods in the county. Coconut Grove is a close knit village within the City of Miami. Our community existed before the city whose 1. SP.1 3074 Kirk St. historic and natural places are under attack. Residents Discussion Eileen Brennan Coconut of the Grove will not be heard without a powerful Item Grove 33133 voice in government. As keepers of the flame which Redistricting ignited Miami we defend our communal heritage. Do not cut us up like pie, sliced we have no flavor.
