With approximately 70 homeowners present, the vote was overwhelmingly for 35 feet. There were no votes for 85-95 feet. Also, the following member organizations of Miami Neighborhoods United have sent these letters of support for Morningside's efforts to not allow high rises next to single family homes: We, the members of Golden Pines neighborhood association, are in support of the Morningside Civic Association's opposition to allowing high-rise buildings adjacent to the single-family homes of Morningside. We, the MiamiShenandoah Neighborhood Assn. are in support of the Morningside Civic Association's opposition to allowing high-rise buildings adjacent to the single-family homes of Morningside. Hugh A. Ryan President- Miami Shenandoah Neighborhood Assn. We, the Friends of Sewell Park, are in support of the Morningside Civic Association,s opposition to allowing high-rise buildings adjacent to the single-family homes of Morningside. The Oakland Grove Neighborhood Improvement Association Inc. strongly support the Morningside Civic Association,s rightful opposition to allowing high rise buildings to be built next to the single family residences in Morningside.

David Villano, President and Director Nancy Rubin, Vice President and Director Maggie Rossi, Secretary and Director SUBMITTED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD FOR ITEM Pz I ON 3-p-6. O O/ "- S'e/L4filed 1 Eric Wagner, Treasurer and Director Hadley Williams, Director and Representative of the CGPHA to MNU Grace Carter, Director Janet Lineback, Director Ron Nelson, Director Arlyn Phillips, Director Nov 17, 2004 I am the President of the Lemon City Taxpayers Association. Our association consists of business owners, property owners and residents in Lemon City and Little Haiti. We strongly support the Morningside Civic Association and their desire to limit the height of high rises on Biscayne Boulevard. We particularly protest any potential high rises east of Biscayne Boulevard that exceed 85 or 95 feet. In fact, in most cases we feel even 85 feet and 95 feet is too high and not compatible with the neighborhood. Again, we support the Morningside Civic Association. Peter Ehrlich Lemon City Taxpayers Association 305 798 1200 We, the Bay Point Property Owners' Association are in support of the Morningside Civic Association's opposition to allowing high-rise buildings adjacent to the single-family homes of Morningside. Maureen Joseph, November 16, 2004 We, the Buena Vista East Historic Neighborhood Association are in support of the Morningside Civic Association's opposition to allowing high-rise buildings adjacent to the single-family homes of Morningside. Please reject this inappropriate growth and protect Miami's historic neighborhoods from being walled in by modern towers. Also, please consider the impact these developments have on the quality of life of these communities in terms of increased traffic, parking and use of other public facilities, which are already underfunded and in poor shape. Thank you, Wendy Stephan Buena Vista East Historic Neighborhood Association Dear Commisssioners and Mayor Diaz The Cocoanut Grove Village Council strongly supports the Morningside Homeowners Assn. in their desire to respect the scale and context of their single family residential Historic Neighborhood. To allow four ten towering buildings of some 100feet to be placed next to single story single family homes without transitional buffers is not your expressed vision for Miami 2100 and is contrary to our current Master plan. Our most viable and in this case also beautiful single family neighborhoods are being walled in one -by -one. Without the protection of our elected officials these neighborhoods will lose their identity, not to mention ruining the quality of life of the residents. We strongly support our neighbors in Morningside and we expect you will be championing and protecting your constituents.
