We would like to go on record as strongly supporting the proposed conversion of a portion of Rice Street from e vehicular street to a pedestrian mall. The future residents of our building obviously are attracted to Coconut Grove because of the pedestrian oriented village center and we feel that this pedestrian street will further enhance that unique quality that has made the Grove a special place. The developers of Mayfair have created a beautiful development and we are confident that the new pedestrian street will continue that tradition of high quality and static beauty. The traffic flow, by the closing of Rice Street, should not affect the area because Rice Street is not one of the major arteries. In summary, we fell this pedestrian mall will be a positive addition to our community. Very truly yours, GROVE E INC.

Should traffic generation and patterns, influenced by the street closure and Mayfair expansion, warrant signalization of Grand and Mary Street at a later date, we would expect the cost of signalization to be borne by the developer.

We have clarified our designs and are now contemplating construction of two public fountains that will not conflict with the underground utilities presently in Rice Street. We would also like to state that if any repairs are needed to the underground utilities in the City's easements, we will repair the pavement or other amenities effected by these repairs at our cost. We have also provided a vehicular path for emergency vehicles though the fire and rescue departments said one is not needed. We will include a covenant that the pedestrian street will be open to the public at all times.

Public.Works Department Sincerely, KENNETH TVTER s ' �`; The Miami City Commission City Hall 3500 Pan American Drive Dinner Key Miami, FL 33133 Gentlemen: July 23, 1981 Re: Rice Street Closing I am writing this letter to express my support of the application of Ken Treister and Joseph Garfield to create a pedestrian mall on Rice Street. I feel that the past efforts of the developers have been beneficial to the residents and business interests of the Grove area. In view of their investment and successful development record, I am sure the results of this effort would also be beneficial to the Grove. In simple terms, they are trying to create a development with a strong regional attraction that will have a long term beneficial effect on the Grove and will far out -weigh any real or imagined adverse effect on the traffic flow in the area, since almost no one ever uses Rice Street anyway.

Should traffic generation and patterns, influenced by the street closure and Mayfair expansion, warrant signalizat'ion of Grand and Mary Street at a later date, we would expect the cost of signalization to be borne by the developer.

We have clarified our designs and are now contemplating construction of two public fountains that will not conflict with the underground utilities presently in Rice Street. We would also like to state that if any repairs are needed to the underground utilities in the City's easements, we will repair the pavement or other amenities effected by these repairs at our cost. We have also provided a vehicular path for emergency vehicles though the fire and rescue departments said one is not needed. -We will include a covenant that the pedestrian street will be open to the public at all times. We plan to keep Rice Street visually open through its length and will limit the two overhead bridges that we proposed,to an agreed percentage of the street so as to assure that the majority of the street will be open to light and air.

Luft, AICP Planning Department City of Miami P. 0. Box 330708 Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Mr. Luftt At the end of the zoning hearing in reference to converting Rice Street in Coconut Grove to a pedestrian mall, I understood that the approval was still partly subject to further input from interested people within the neighbor- hood. Expecting that most of your response will be against this project, I an writing to urge approval. I an interested in this because I live in one of the apartments at Yacht Harbour Condominium which overlooks Mayfair and Rice Street. During the hearings, most of the objectors were simply voicing complaints about general traffic conditions in the vicinity and about how the character of Coconut Grove is changing. The objections were not specifically to the point, which is whether or not Rice Street should be converted to a land- scaped pedestrian street, or retained for automobile use. In general, they were simply against any changes and using the hearing as an opportunity to voice complaints about non -related personal inconveniences they have suf-- f Bred. To retain the street as it now stands means it will be used mostly for parkipg cars along both sides. The street is only two blocks long and is not In Itself going to affect the total amount of traffic in the area either wayl New buildings being built will, of course, increase traffic, but keeping Rice`., Street open should have little effect on the traffic congestion which will oc- cur on Mary and Grant Avenue. "81 - 723 Brokerage Property Management Investments International Brokerage Syndications Mortgage Brokerage A walking pedestrian mall is a very pleasant type of amenity which is sorely needed in Coconut Grove, where people tend to enjoy walking. This is readily evidenced on Main Street and Commodore Plaza, and such a pedestrian mall is bound to be very popular, even among those who are presently objecting. v Progressive and well planned changes such as this tend to preserve and upgrade a neighborhood. To do nothing means to let a neighborhood run down. Coconut. Grove was suffering in general from a run dawn condition until a few short years ago. As neighborhoods run down, undesirable elements move in and property values (and the City's tax base) decline. I hope this letter will be helpful in leading to a favorable final decision and resulting in the conversion of Mice Street into the attractive pedestrian mall which is envisioned& Sincerely, BAILEY i CASEY, INC.
