that deal with the
Elderly, Juveniles,
Emergency

Trust works welt with
Community based

very effective in
responding to citizens

The Commodore Trail
is heavily utilized and
yet in a poor state of
repair and highly
dangerous in a
number of places. I
have lived in Coconut
Grove for 32 years
and watched this
jewel of a trail
RE. 13 7639 deteriorate to its
4219 BRAGANZA InterlocalAgreement present sorry state. In
AVE - Commodore Trail fact, I consider the
Master Plan portion of the trail
near me so
dangerous that I
rarely visit it
anymore. Please vote
for resolution RE.13
to support the
development of a
master plan and
improvements to the
Commodore Trail.

This is a very
important project to
Miami's vast and
growing cycling
community. Please
continue to make
sure important
projects such as this
get the funding and
support that they
deserve. Cycling and
pedestrian
improvements are a
high priority for me
and many electors
that I associate with.
Thank you for your
consideration.
I'm against this
project.
Squeeze, squeeze,
squeeze... Is that the
image of what the
GROVE wants to be?
The only advantage
from this ridiculous
architecture showing
up on Day and Bird
Ave is that you can
borrow the neighbor's
salt by extending
your hand through
the window and right
out on his kitchen
table. Common folks,
please don't let that
happen. Only
unmanned
cemeteries proceed
this way. So please
take exemplary,
"Lesson -teaching -
action", and don't let
developers turn our
place into a packed
COCONUT GRAVE.

I lived in Miami for 40
years, in the Grove
for 11. Went to
Ransom Everglades
7-12 grade. The traffic
in the Grove is one of
the reasons I pulled
up my family and
moved out of Miami a
few years ago. I
come to visit and am
shocked at how bad
the traffic is now.
Bayshore is such an
important artery, it
seems ridiculous to
even consider putting
another school there.
Please don't let
Carrolton build on the
Villa Woodbine
property.
We are parents of
three school age
children who play
outside in the
neighborhood, walk
to Kennedy Park and
bike ride through
town. Twice my
children have been
almost run off the
road on Tigertail,
resulting in injury. The
traffic is terrible and
this is a family
community. Would
you want to put your
own children in more
harms way? Let's do
the right thing here
and not add
additional traffic to
the neighborhood, in
spite of any dollars
that may bring in.
This is about people,
their lives and their
safety.
I am in support of the
Commodore Trait
funding and urge you
to approve it.

My name is Steve
Wernick. I am a
resident of Coconut
Grove, and a father to
3 young boys.
Serving on the Board
of Friends of the
Underline, I've seen
the immense benefits
of integrated trails for
our community - as
mobility corridors,
recreation, exercise,
public health and
safety. Perhaps most
importantly
investment in
pedestrian / bicycle
infrastructure has
been shown to have a
significant return on
investment (ROI),
10x greater than that
seen for dollars spent
on auto -oriented
infrastructure. The
Commodore Trail is a
key trail that can
serve residents and
families throughout
Miami. And this trail
is in need of planned
improvements to be
safe for users and to
connect people with
the growing network
of trails in Miami. For
these reasons, please
support The
Commodore Trail and
item RE.13.

RE. 13 7639
I nterlocal Agreement
- Commodore Trail
Master Plan
On behalf of The
Underline, I am
writing to support for
item RE 13. By
funding the
construction of
portions of the
Commodore Trail, this
resolution will
improve our trail
network and grow
mobility options for
our current and future
residents. Now, more
than ever, Miami
residents are relying
on multimodaltrails
to get around. On the
Mpath/future
Underline trail in front
of Vizcaya Station,
bicycle ridership and
pedestrian counts
have more than
doubled since the
pandemic began.
Like The Underline,
The Commodore Trail
is particularly
important because it
offers an alternative
to car -based
commuting through
densely populated
neighborhoods in the
City of Miami. It
creates a safe, off -
road biking and
waking corridor
within a natural and
beautiful setting. It
links to 3 other major
mufti -use trails, 10
parks, 11 historic
sites, and 11 schools.
As we realize the full
capacity of this trail
and connect it to The
Underline, we will
develop a bicycle and
pedestrian network
that can serve
hundreds of
thousands of Miami
residents, employees
and visitors. We hope
you will support RE
13 and take this
important step to
ensuring a connected,
resilient and
economically viable
community for
generations to come.

RE.13 on the July 23
agenda. Thank you
Commissioners for
supporting this
resolution.The
Commodore Trail is
one of the most
popular in the
County's trail
network, but it has
been neglected and
in many parts is
unsafe.Passing this
resolution will help to
create much -needed
improvements to the
Trail and make it
safer for all users.The
resolution will enable
the City of Miami to
accept $1.728 in
funds from the
People's
Transportation Plan
for the Commodore
Trail. The City of
Coral Gables has
already passed a
similar resolution to
accept a much
smaller share of the
funds and will work
collaboratively on the
project with the City
of Miami. My kids
walk to school on the
Commodore Trail and
they're safety along
with that of many
other children is
paramount.

the profit interests of

and certainly not the
future residents of the
Highland Park
neighborhood. The
reality of the state of
Public Transit within
Miami Dade County
is such that the
system unfit to serve
as a realistic option
for an overwheming
majority of
commuters. The
single 22 mite rail line
does not provide
access to the majority
of work sites. This
failure is reflected in
consistently
decreasing ridership

2016-2019 (even pre -

the justification of
additional

accompanying
decreased parking

on the proximity to

station, is a farce
which serves only to
enhance developer
profitabiity, and wilt
ultimately harm both
future residents (who
wilt have limited
parking options) and
current residents (who
wilt see increased

With respect to
arterial road
congestion, note that
traffic from the civic
center area is already
directed at high
intensity down 10th
ave (which becomes
8th st road), then
west on 11th street.
The area is highly
congested at many
times during the day,
most notably at
hospital shift
changes. The
infrastucture of this

development already

allowed under the T-
6-L existing zone,
much less enhanced

conclusion, if both the
zoning and allowed
intensity are
changed, the city
commission is
determining that it
values the profit
interests of
developers interested
in the Highland Park
neighborhood are
paramount and any
concerns for the well
being of existing and
future residents are
subservient to the
needs of these
developers. The
appropriate action for
this city commission
is to reject this
proposal and to leave
the existing definition
of T-6-O intact. The
city zones are named
specifically for the
number of floors
allowed, to simply
allow T-6-O to have
eight floors is
antithetical to the
intent of the zoning.
If developers with to
be able to develop
eight floors, they
should lobby to
change the zoning of
an area to T-8, rather
than attempt to
sneak provisions into
an ordinance with
weak justifications
based on the
significatn availability
of lackluster and
ineffective public
transportation
options. Voters WILL
take note and we will
work vigorously to
oppose any politician
who advances the
interests of
developers over the

Administration, a
condominium
association
representing 45
affected home owners
at 1010 NW 11th St,
for which I am
presently serving as
President, hereby
request rejection of
this agenda by the
city commission. The
existing provisions of
T-6-L zoning code
already allows
significant increase in
density of the area
north of the Culmer
Metrorail station vs
what's present today.
There is no dis-
incentive for
developers from
advancing projects
with the existing
zoning; what they are
instead seeking by
attempting to re -zone
the area is additional
profit. If the prior
agenda is passed, the
transition from T-6-L
to T-6-O is effectively
a transition to T-8-O.
This flies in the face
of the original zoning
intent of the Miami
21 code, and
effectively allows this
residential
neighborhood to
become an office
park. This will serve
to the detriment of
both future residents,
future workers, and
current residents of
the immediate and
the surrounding
community. Due to
the highway and river,
this area is
geographically
dependent on arterial
roads for connectivity
to other communities.
These roads are
barely equipped for
the density which
could be brought on
by development
within the T-6-L
zoning which exists
today, and to
exacerbate this with
additional
development intensity
will result in traffic

As a resident of N

of Douglas Road and
a daily user of the
Commodore Trail, I
am strongly in favor
of extensive
improvements to
protect the numerous
bikers, runners, and
walkers along the
entire corridor from
Cocoplum Circle to
CocoWaIk in the
Grove.
Improvements,
including barrier -
protected bike lanes
and bollards, are
needed especially at
the intersection of
Douglas Road and
Ingraham Highway,
which had been far
too dangerous for too
Long. I have
personally witnessed
pedestrians struck by
cars at this
intersection and
demand that a
crosswalk and
signage be installed
to protect people at
this location, and
connect across to

The Commodore Trail
is one of the most
used trail and
perhaps the most
neglected. Passing
this resolution will
allow the City of
Miami to have funds
to be used to make
the much needed trail
repairs. As a result,
these improvements
will make the trail
significantly safer for
the many people who
use the Commodore
Trail.
Coconut Grove has
the honor and
privilege to be one of
the few, if not the
only area left in
Miami, where
buildings and houses
are matching with
mother nature in an
unique way. Thanks
to the many parks,
Less cars and more
bikes and walks this
balance is possible,
creating an oasis in
between bricks and
concrete. Adding one
commercial building,
this fragile balance
will no longer be
there. The scale will
tilt in the concrete
favor. No souls in the
planet Earth wants to
be surrounded by
concrete. Let Villa
Woodbine live again.
There are plenty of
places in Miami
where to build a
school and I'm sure
better and most
appropriate than Villa
Woodbine. Let Villa
Woodbine be another
Lung for the Grove
which allow us and
everybody who
comes to visit to
breath the freshness,
the nature and the
beauty of this unique
place.

whether or not to let
two people, Melissa
Tapanes and

Brescia, who have a
dear conflict of

There should be NO

extremely important

citizens of Miami
have worked
tirelessly to provide
assistance and code
revision to protect our

two people with
conflicts of interest is
not only an insult to

good faith, it is a
dear ETHICS
violation. Is there no
one else qualified
without a conflict of

serve on this task

at this point, an item
Like this feels
insulting to the
taxpayers and
citizens of Miami. It
is just another
example of efforts to
undermine and
corrupt what can and
should be dear city
politics and best

Florida 33134 - Commodore Trait Commodore Trait is a
Master Plan jewel in the City for
commuter and
recreational bicycle
riding, running for
exercise, and the
simple joy of waking
for pleasure. But the
current limitations of
the path have long
needed to be
addressed. Much of
the path is not wide
enough for two-way
bicycle traffic on its
own; much less when
combined with
pedestrian traffic,
since it is a multiple -
use path and neither
bike or pedestrian
specific. Additionally,
it is barely protected
from traffic in areas,
posing a safety risk
for both those on foot
and on bicycles; not
to mention that the
deviations in path

design (e.g., the
Siegendorf Bicycle
Path, which is
essentially a waking
and jogging path) -
makes commuting on
a bicycle or
micromobitity device
more difficult than it
need be. It could be a
world -class protected
bicycle highway (or
cycletrack, depending
on design and space
in each location), but
it isn't, yet.
Nevertheless, it has
the potential to be
revamped into one
and there are a
multitude of excellent

including a proposed

on bicycles. And
indeed, about a
month ago - prior to
the alarming increase
in traffic - they could
be confident in the
fact that their streets
were safe from a vast
majority of
automobiles. But
traffic is rapidly
returning to the old
normal. The desire to
ride is not, nor is the
population of our
cities. This brings me
to the protected
bicycle lane network
proposed for
Downtown Miami - or
rather, micromobility
Lanes, as described in
the City's agenda.
Protected
micromobility
networks are now a
feature both familiar
and expected of any
modern US
metropolitan area.
Countless cities
throughout the US -
Chicago, New
Orleans, Memphis,
and New York, to
name just a few -
have already
reoriented their
streets with these
networks, ensuring
that people can ride
bicycles or use micro
vehicles in safety.
These lanes are an
absolute necessity
not only for safety,
but to encourage the
reduction of
automobile use that,
as we know, dogs our
city daily. This not
only reduces pollution
and greenhouse gas
emissions, but these
Lanes effectively
redistributes our road
space in an equitable
fashion for those who
cannot afford a
private automobile -
or simply do not want
the extra burden.

privatization of this
property to add an
additional school is a
travesty. why should
the residents of the
grove have to deal
with more traffic
issues and
construction, delays
and inconvenience all
around? There is no
shortage of private
schools, and this wilt
make traffic even
worse than it already
is. This is a
shameless money
grab.
I support improving
Commodore Trait with
help from the County.
PZ6981 and PZ6982 I
am against allowing a
school on the site of
Villa Woodbine. The
traffic from Ransom
Everglades Middle
School combined with
traffic from the
increased density due
to the new high rise
condos has created a
gridlock already. A
new school a few
hundred yards from
Ransom would make
it so much worse!!
There is also the loss
of tree canopy from
Villa Woodbine and
the destruction of the
character of the
neighborhood.

I oppose the request
to change zoning for
an unneeded school
to be constructed. I
Live directly off of S
Bayshore and traffic
congestion is already
overwhelming. Taking
away tree canopy
and green space is
environmentally
wrong! The school for
"boys" is so
inappropriate in this
day and age. Where
do non binary
students go? Why
would the city agree
to change zoning for
an unnecessary and
unneeded and
unwanted facility?
The city will also lose
real estate taxes as
this is a tax exempt
organization yet their
carbon footprint and
use of city streets etc
will be at taxpayers
expense. Further the
fact that they
purchased the
property knowing it
wasn't zoned for their
intended use shows a
flagrant disregard to
city planning and
residential
considerations.
Please say no. Stop

When I bike into the

this initiative. The
money is already

we find ourselves
back in Phase 1, the
safe use of outdoor

are more important
than ever. Please
vote yes.
As someone that
visits City of Miami
frequently and who
works to help

especially people of
color communities, I
ask you to include
the following in your
resolution: PLEASE,
direct staff to tell
USACE and Miami -
Dade County to
demand more time so
the county can come
up with a LOCALLY
PREFERRED PLAN
with more input from
cities like Miami and
other coastal
residents AND more

;eu cla Iteriru Vfi d:orruirroen11l.
intentional public
input from our low
income residents in
vulnerable areas,
especially considering
we are still in the
worst of the
pandemic. PLEASE,
request for this
alternative to include
more nature and
nature -based
solutions. Living
shoreline
opportunities, coral
reef and dune
restoration, and
construction of
mangrove barrier
islands were screened
out of the process,
which is ridiculous
considering the
documented benefits
of nature -based
solutions for our
coastlines and the
economic value they
provide. We need a
plan that's more in
Line w/
recommendations of
Resilient 305 and the
Southeast Florida
Regional Climate
Change Compact.
Those
recommendations
were based on years
of stakeholder input
and expert analysis.
And, we need a plan
that in works
holistically with
current and upcoming
Everglades
restoration efforts.
AND just as
important, the
alternative must NOT
over -emphasize
benefits based on
property value and
exacerbate
inequalities already
happening in Miami.
How is it Ok to spend
PUBLIC dollars to
elevate almost 200
Luxury homes with
values that exceed $4
million? How it is Ok
for the county, for the

sense. But
disconnecting the

does NOT. The

Thank you for this
opportunity. This is an
entirely unnecessary
massively out of
scale project planned
on a beautiful lot that
should not be
commercially zoned.
There is an existing
private school nearly
a stone's throw away.
The current traffic
congestion is already
concerning, often at a
standstill after school
hours and into the
evening. The Grove is
a vibrant, unique,
cultural space in
Miami, one of the few
with remaining
historical sites, with
the Villa Woodbine
being one of the last
remaining green
spaces. It should be
preserved, a place
where family and
community could all
enjoy, to destroy this
would be a tragedy. I
am a mother of two
children, and the
value of education is
not lost on me. In
fact, there are
already 17 schools in
this area alone, one
merely 150 yards
away from the
proposed project. I
am afraid we are
Losing sight not only
of the immense value
of the area, but the
proven scientific
benefit of mature
trees and canopies
against an incredibly
rapidly growing
population: they
provide better air
quality, improved
health outcomes,
cooler temperatures,
and flood mitigation
to name a few. There
is no need for an 18th
school in this 5
square mile zone
when what we really
need is to protect
everyone's health.
Please stop this,
thank you so much.

Good morning,
Members of the City
of Miami Board of
Commissioners. I am
opposing this change
to my neighborhood.
Here I am again
fighting to save what
use to be a historical
neighborhood. Back
on May 23, 2019
your Planning, Zoning
Appeals Board held a
meeting regarding the
surrounding vacant
Lots were changed
from T6-8-L Urban
Core to T6-12-L
Urban Core, but after
the "Developers or
property owners"
couldn't get any of
the adjacent property
homeowners to sell,
the Developers resold
the lots to other
potential developers
at a much higher
price. I have been
expressing my
1147 NW 8 Avenue, PZ. 7 7578 Rezoning
Brenda Lee neighbors
Miami, FL 33136 - Various
disappointment as to
how no-one is
Listening to us, sure
you have appointees
to the City Planning,
Zoning Appeals
Board, that I have
came before since
October 18, 2017
only to be heard and
ignored. Since 2015,
here is what happen
to our neighborhood:
Washington Square
1146 NW 7th Court (8
stories, 2 story
garage); Seybold
Pointe 816 NW 7th
Avenue (11 stories,
ground level parking);
St. Martin's Place
1128 NW 7th Avenue
(11 stories, 3 story
garage); also a
development located
at 820 NW 7th
Avenue (5 stories,
ground level parking).
"Enough is Enough".
Thank you

proposed, distributed,
and presented draft
revisions to the code

respectfully
recommended

following conditions:
1) Work on
addressing the
required financing 2)
Include both private

seawalls 3) Consider
any differences which
may be needed in D1
and D3 zoning, in
order to avoid any
unintentional impacts
4) In response to a

amend the

Mayor and
Commissioners: I
SUPPORT passage of
R.E. 13 which will
enable the City of
Miami to accept
$1.728 million in PTP
funds for the
Commodore Trail
(CT). I urge the
Commission to show
its continued support
for the CT by passing
this resolution on July
23rd. I regularly use
the CT for exercise
(biking and running)
and to get around
town (by bike). The
CT is one of the most
popular in the
County's trail
network, but it has
been neglected and
in many parts is
unsafe. Passing R.E.
13 will help to create
much -needed
improvements to the
Trail and make it
safer for all users.
Passing the resolution
will allow the City to
work collaboratively
on the CT with the
City of Coral Gables,
which recently passed
a similar resolution to
accept a smaller
share of the funds.
Please vote YES for
R.E. 13. Thank you.
Andrea England
Please consider
spending money on
the Commodore Trail.
It is used and
needed!!

End of Report
Commissioners -
thank you for taking
this comment. I live
on North Bay Homes
Drive just one house
in from the Douglas
Avenue/Main
Highway overlap
section of the
Commodore Trail
near the Kampong.
My family and I walk
that section of the
trail into the venter of
the Grove everyday.
While the trail is a
great asset to the
community - frankly
that stretch - from
Park Lane north until
Main Highway and
Douglas separate is
dangerous and in
disrepair. I support
RE 13 to ensure the
trait- and particularly
this section gets
repaired. This is a
main concern I have
as a citizen who uses
the trail daily and I
am also wilting to
work on any
community program
to improve this
section. Thank you
for your support.
I DO NOT support the
zoning change for
item # 7 as it will lead
to parking challenges,
traffic and more
density. Also, public
transportation
ridership is down 31%
since March 2015 VS
March 2019 per
Miami Dade County's
Transportation and
Public Works DEPT."
