Commissioner J.L. Plummer

Miami, F1. 33131
Honorable Commissioner Plummer:
The purpose of this letter is to ask you to include a personal
appearance to be scheduled for the commission agenda of November
17, 1994 at 6:00 p.m.
I would like to present in the name of the Wynwood-Edgewater.
neighborhood 5,000 signed petitions asking for the stoppage of
expansion of the container cargo facility of the Port of Miami
into the Wynwood-Edgewater area. We would like the city commi-
ssion to officially oppose this expansion and to support our
position when we take the same petition of NO CONTAINER CARGO
FACILITY IN WYNWOOD EDGEWATER,to the Dade County Board of Commision.
In addition, we would like to request that the presently used �.
properties owned by the F.E.C. Railroad and by Tamarac Industries,
located between 29th and 36th streets and N.E. 2nd Avenue to Miami ,
Avenue, be cleaned, made environmentally and physically safe and
maintained according to the City of Miami's codes. A commission
mandate to the Zoning Department in this regards will go a long
way to insure the quality of life of our neighborhood.
The community would also like the Commission's support in stopping
the growth of rehabilitation centers in the Wynwood-Edgewater area,
until the rest of Dade County Carries its appropriate share. As an
example, at present Census Tract 27.01 (East of Biscayne Blvd. from
14th to 36th street) has approximately 8% of its population as per-
sons in rehabilitation homes; the City of Miami's ordinance establi-
shes a maximum of 2 % of the total census tract population in these
types of homes.
I look forward to your confirmation concerning the abgye requests.
