City of Miami File ID: 3001 (Revision:) Printed On: 10/16/2018 f Cindy Snyder, South Grove Neighborhood Assoc. remarks: PZ 9 file ID 3001 Nev 15, 2018 3 291 2-9 For those many who signed the change.org petitions re lot coverage" & "over building" in the Grove, they expressed their opposition to that which was pictured, uncomfortably familiar to them and recently built in the Grove. First pictured were new houses at 3630-3640 Avocado and more recently one pictured at 4111 Hardie. Community residents objected to the houses' massive sizes relative to the sizes of the newly created sites, created in violation of the existing NCD law, on which they were being built or had recently been built. They objected to the more and smaller sites being created from long existing larger sites and in direct opposition to the stated INTENT of NCD-3 SFR District law. They objected to the small amount of green space remaining relative to the expansive amounts of concrete areas in addition to the large houses being built. The pool area. the covered outdoor kitchen and patio areas. covered parking, and extensive parking & "turn around" areas. Even if painted green or covered wl astro turf, these densely paved areas are not, nor will ever be permeable green space where a tree could grow or a septic drain field function properly. The overall SCALE of these houses is NOT COMPATIBLE with the neighborhood. These are examples of what the community OBJECT TO, are out of scale with existing community, but under the proposal with all its EXCLUSIONS, would be allowed, this is not acceptable. 5-4' ' N' - = 'Pvp=_Ge-C'N`-h°t‘A5 F 'R- A-R'-. t- e Cz.)lbt26Rcit_p Cov va� While Community members have been working at strengthening enforcement of NCD-3 SFR code, it is apparent that the planning department's proposal would address issues by weakening the NCD law. Many meetings and hearings have taken place. At a Commission hearing in the summer of 2016 this community spoke out against many "errors" in enforcement, and the over scaled building in our midst. All 5 commissioners pledged their support to work toward better enforcement, to uphold the Intent of NCD-3 SFR code, which has indeed improved. We appreciate and thank you for that. However, along with that has come "push -back" in the form of attempts to change this code, its INTENT, its overall concept. Community does not want what pictured on the petition. To change the code to allow the very things objected to is simply OFFENSIVE, will destroy the community's long existing natural tropical hammock eco-system. This entire process of "amending NCD-3 code in particular", has consisted of a series of successive attempts to transform a community in an image clearly NOT acceptable to it resident owners. This is not an admirable or acceptable way for a city to conduct business particularly in a Neighborhood Conservation District, a District to be protected! We think this effort needs to stop. Please say NO to this proposal, Submitted into the public record for item(s) PZ.9 on 01/24/2019 , City Clerk
