Dear Commissioners,
1 am in support of the application for the SD-12 Overlay and Special Exception to allow
parking for the mixed use project at 64th Terrace and Biscayne Boulevard. I am a resident and
property owner at 685 N.E. 64th Street. T and the community have had the opportunity to meet
with the owner/developer of this project and review the plans. I support this project and
believe that it will he a positive addition for our neighborhood. The mixed use design which
will bring office workers and residents is needed in our community. 1 support the SD-12
overlay for the purpose of allowing parking for the commercial portion of the project provided
that it- is part of a structure that includes residential units as proposed by the owner/developer. 1
would not want to sec only a surface lot or just. a parking garage built on the R-3 lots along NE
64'h 'Terrace. It is my understanding that your approiva.l of the zoning change is contingent to
plans on tile. I have one concern for which I would appreciate your help. NE 64 Terrace is a
one-way street eastbound off Biscayne Boulevard. This means that all traffic would need to
enter the residential community from NE 64 Terrace to exit to Biscayne Boulevard. i have
initiated a request to change NE 64`1' Terrace to a two-way street with the director of the City of
Miami Public Works Department who has forwarded the request to Miami -Dade Public Works
Department (please see attached email). I have also discussed this with the owner/developer as
well as city staff and understand that setbacks have already hcen established for street
improvements. I believe that allowing traffic to exit from NE 64111 Terrace to Biscayne
Boulevard would be a safer and more efficient traffic flow.
Thank you very much for your consideration,
