Jacobsen and Karen Jacobsen) to rezoning of 5907 NE 5 Avenue , items PZ.4 and PZ.5 on the March 26, 2015 agenda Attachments: Dr. Kim Jacobsen re rezoning 5907 NE 5 Ave 18MAR2015.pdf; Karen Jacobsen re rezoning 5907 NE 5 Ave 18MAR2015.pdf Dear Mayor Regalado, City of Miami Commissioners, City Attorney Mendez, Planning Director Garcia and other city officials, Attached are two letters of opposition to the proposed rezoning of the lot at 5907 NE 5 Avenue, from single-family residential to commercial, which is on the City Commission agenda of March 26, 2015 as items PZ.4 and PZ.5. These letters are from myself and my sister Karen Jacobsen, as we own the two houses across the street from the subject property. The letters were officially time stamped and accepted by the City of Miami planning department at 1:50 pm today, March 18, 2015. I respectfully request that these letters be made part of the official file on these two items, and that they be posted on-line with the other agenda attachments. I have also copied below into the body of this email the content of my letter. I ask that you seriously consider this matter and protect the historic Palm Grove residential neighborhood from commercial encroachement by denying the rezoning. Thank you very much, Dr. Kim Kristine Jacobsen Dr. Kim Kristine Jacobsen 5900 NE 5 Avenue Miami, Florida 33137 City of Miami Commissioners 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33133 March 11, 2015 Dear Miami City Commissioners, As the owner of the home at 5900 NE 5 Avenue, I am strongly opposed to the change in zoning being sought by the property owners of 5907 NE 5 Avenue. I grew up in my house. It has been in my family since 1955. It is unconscionable to me that the city would even consider supporting allowing commercial zoning to encroach into a single-family neighborhood, especially when that single-family neighborhood is a historic district — the Palm Grove Historic District. This proposed change would put a commercial business directly in front of my house. Should this be challenged in court as inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, I will have standing as an aggrieved party under FS 163.3215. I was present when the PZAB plainly stated that it was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan before it voted 7-1 to deny. I hope the commission votes similarly, as my quality of life and my property's value would be harmed by the proposed land use and zoning change.

It is unconscionable to me that the city would even consider supporting allowing commercial zoning to encroach into a single-family neighborhood, especially when that single-family neighborhood is a historic district - the Palm Grove Historic District.

I hope the commission votes similarly, as my quality of life and my property's value would be harmed by the proposed land use and zoning change. I hope you consider how you or your family might feel if this up -zoning were proposed next to and near your home, and that you will do the right thing and vote to deny this change in zoning.
