His leadership qualities and alignment with the Trust's goals make him an exemplary candidate for this position. Second, I urge the Commission to support agenda item PZ3, endorsing the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board's decision to remove the gym. This decision is pivotal due to the lack of community input, the disregard for the park's master plan, and the violations of city codes, including falsified information in the warrant application. Third, I stand against Commissioner Carolto's proposal in PZ2 to abolish permitting regulations. Such an action would allow unchecked construction in our parks, undermining the careful existing master plan & planning and community interests that should guide their development. Moreover, I bring to your attention the critical issue of Item 15. This item concerns an elected official who, having violated the city's laws and caught in the act, is now attempting to manipulate the PZAB board to amend an ordinance for personal benefit, not for the city's welfare. This act not only undermines the legal framework but also strips residents of their right to voice opinions on city projects, particularly those concerning our parks. It is an attempt to bypass public input where a Master Plan is already in place. I call upon this body to stand firm, as you previously have —It is imperative that neither the City nor the Bayfront Park Management Trust be allowed to circumvent public input, especially in matters involving a Master Plan. We thank you for considering these crucial points in your decision -making process, ensuring our parks and public spaces reflect the community's needs and values. (1) the voices of neighbors should be heard and commissioners should vote NO on Agenda Item PZ.2 and PZ.3 (2) Joe Carollo needs to be removed as the Chair of the Bayfront Park Management Trust. 15374 Submittal -Public Comments Submitted Online for the January 11, 2024 City Commission Meeting First Last Nam Nam e e Stre et Addr ess Age nda Public Comment Item As a resident of Downtown Miami, I have seen many changes occur in the park over the last 18 years. In regard to item PZ3, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board voted to remove the outdoor gym equipment that was installed in Maurice A Ferre park. This construction was done without the proper permit or warrant PZ. and without public opinion. Joe CaroLLo has continuously made unilateral decisions for this park that best 3 fit HIS needs, and not the needs of the public. Although item PZ2 has been removed, it is important to #151 address it as it goes hand in hand. Joe CaroLLo attempted to change the rules to aftow him the ability to 13 construct ANYTHING he wants in the park, "by right," meaning without having to obtain any permits or PZA warrants and thereby bypassing any approval process. This was a Ludicrous idea, and the Planning, Zoning 900 B and Appeals Board agreed by voting against it 7-0. But this act just goes to show the pompous attitude of Nicol Desi Bisc Deci Joe Carotto, believing that he would be aftowed to do this and be able to do whatever he wants whenever e derio ayne Sion he wants with the park. I do not think that someone with that kind of attitude is fit to run the trust of such Blvd App a substantial Miami park, Let atone public office. The green space of Maurice A Ferre park is the most eat - vaLuabl.e asset that park has. I speak for the majority of residents when I say that we do NOT want to see 1095 it become paved over. This park is a passive park, not a recreational. park. Any professional. park planner Bisc will tell you that. The city of Miami paid a professional. park planner millions of dollars to create a master ayne plan that exhibits just that. Joe Carotto is NOT a professional. park planner and should not have the ability Blvd to make those kinds of decisions for the park. I ask that the commission vote to uphol.d the decision made by the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board regarding item PZ3. I also ask that Joe Carotto be removed from the Bayfront Park Management Trust, and to appoint our district 2 commissioner Damien Pardo in his place. Thank you.

Beautification along this section of the roadway is much needed. Please plant native plants as part of the beautification process. Native species have evolved over time with the biological and physical factors such as soil, climate, and rainfall specific to their region. Native plants help to restore regional Landscapes. They are the best species adapted to Local conditions that thrive with the Least care and create a sense of place. Using native plants promotes wise stewardship of the Land and conservation for our natural areas. Native species are members of a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms that keep each other in check and won't harm natural areas. Why use native plants? Native plants do not require fertilizers and require fewer pesticides than Lawns. Native plants require Less water than Lawns and help prevent erosion. The deep root systems of many native plants increase the soft's capacity to store water. Native plants can significantly reduce water runoff and, consequently, flooding. Native plants help reduce air pollution. Native pLantscapes do not require mowing. Excessive carbon from the burning of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Native plants sequester, or remove, carbon from the air. Native plants provide shelter and food for wildlife. Native plants promote biodiversity and stewardship of our natural heritage. Native plants are beautiful and increase scenic values! Plant NATIVE! Biscayne park is a public plan and should therefore remain a public Land and move forward with the previously plan of working with Miami -Dade County Public schools and our community on making this Land a new building for iPrep Academy and teacher housing. I have 3 children in iPrep Academy - my children and the entire iPrep family (administration, teachers, children, apartments) wilt benefit greatly from the previously slated plan of an additional iPrep building. iPrep is a top, magnet public school in need of more resources for the children to thrive to their fullest potential. The only outdoor space available at the school is a small portion of the parking Lot. Our students needs a more robust space to use for outdoor, recreational and school activities. This may even support the school to establish it's own sports teams - as there is no school sports available for our students today. I was born and raised in Miami and welt as my children and we make it a family effort to drive out 20+ minutes almost every weekend to a city park - there are plenty and often empty! I heard comments that we do not have enough parks in our city... yes we do. It takes Little effort to enjoy our current parks. I support for the revocation of the License for the Centner park to be built as there is a better route to take for this Land; and that is for that park to be used for iPrep school building and teacher housing.

I am in favor of R.E. 19 #15329 - Terminate Revocable License Agreement due to the manner and currently outstanding controversy in which it came about. As a long time resident of the neighborhood and with two children who have attended for the past 9 years, the other neighborhood school, iPrep, I am in full support of an upgraded PUBLIC park facility that would benefit the entire community. What is not dear from the discussion are the details or "strings" that are attached to the offer by the Centner Academy for their contribution towards the new facility. For example, is the facility truly open to the public or only during hours that the Academy is not using it. Would there be fees associated with using the "so -caned" public facility. It was my understanding prior to the departure of Superintendent Carvhalo that the proposed site was going to be used to construct workforce housing and a new educational building for iPrep so that the city could financially benefit from the sate of the current city owned School Board building and iPrep building. As a result, how does the approval to build this new Centner sponsored athletic facility benefit the City or the kids at iPrep who currently have NO green space to conduct physical activities. I emplore the commission to rescind the agreement and take the decision to conduct a more open public discussion on the best option for the use of the site that wilt benefit ALL of the residents, schools and children of the immediate neighborhood. Thank you. First Last Nam Nam e e Chri s Stre et Addr ess Topc 900 zew bisc ski ayne Age nda Public Comment Item Dear Members of the Zoning Board, I am writing to express my concerns regarding Item pz3, currently PZ. under your consideration. It has come to my attention that this proposal may have originated under 3 questionable circumstances, involving a potential conflict of interest by an elected official. This situation #151 raises serious concerns about the integrity and fairness of the process. Our city's parks and recreational 13 areas are vital to our community, and it is imperative that any changes or developments in these areas are PZA made with the utmost consideration for public interest and involvement. Item pz3, as it stands, seems to B undermine this principle by potentially limiting public input on matters that directly affect our shared Deci spaces and quality of life. Previously, this board has shown commendable resolve in upholding the rights sion of residents to be heard on city projects. I respectfully urge you to continue demonstrating this App commitment to democratic principles by voting against Carotto's proposal to abolish permitting regulations, eat - which would otherwise enable unchecked construction in our parks. It is essential that the city and entities 1095 like the Bayfront Park Management Trust adhere to established plans and processes, ensuring that all Bisc changes are made transparently and with due public engagement. We want our district's commissioner, ayne Damien Pardo, to take charge of the Bayfront Park Trust. Thank you for considering my viewpoint on this Blvd important issue. Your decision in this matter wilt significantly impact our community, and I trust that you wilt act in the best interests of the citizens you serve.

Any variation to that plan should not only require public input but also approval from the Planning, Zoning and Appeals board. Permits should be pulled and approved by the city in order to ensure that any work being done is up to code.

This is one of only two known rookeries in Northern Biscayne Bay, and several species of birds have been documented nesting on the rookery, including a State threatened Tricolored Heron and Brown Pelicans, which were once endangered and are on the Imperfted Species Management Pan and protected by the US Migratory Treaty Act. It needs a 330 ft no-go zone buffer, as recommended by the FWC and orinthofogists. The protection is needed immediately as there are currently birds nesting on the island with chicks in the nests. We also need funding for more marine patrol monitoring and enforcement in this area of Biscayne Bay for the safety of the kayakers and paddlers who Launch from Legion Park and Morningside Park. The speeding boaters and personal watercraft have made the Bay extremely dangerous, and difficult to cross the channel to visit the picnic islands. The islands also create blind spots so speeding vessels are not able to see kayakers or paddlers as they pass by the islands. Let's not wait for a serious accident or death. We have already witness wildlife getting struck and injured and/or killed. Let's not wait for a human to suffer the same fate. Let's create a year-round Slow Speed on the I ntracoastaL Channel for the safety of aft, and provide more marine patrol monitoring and enforcement. Please follow the plan from a decade ago Do not Let Carillon change it Please restore commission districts that follow natural boundaries rather than carving out districts that serve the desires of sitting and formerly -sitting city commissioners. ALL of Coconut Grove should be in district 2. Joe Caroffo can either move back to his own district or resign.

I see the urgent need of an open green space for our children and would love to see the improvement of Biscayne Park. Im really concerned that the Centner's are not being transparent as to how they will have prioritized use of a public space that belongs to public schools. Therefore I do not agree with this arrangement Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this meeting to speak in person however I would like to ask the commissioners to support the planning and zoning appeals board recommendation to remove the gym equipment from Maurice Ferre Park. Additionally, I would Like to ask the commissioners to remove Joe Carrillo as chairman of the park trust and be replaced with district 2 commissioner Damien Pardo.
