Without a doubt the perfect example of the American dream would be Cornelius Shiver. Aside from professional, familial, and moral achievements Mr. Shiver has embodied being a black American beyond all obstacles by maintaining stake in property ancestrally passed to him in a version of Coconut Grove that has all since been bulldozed. Unfamiliar shell companies with no regard for history swarm the neighborhood with one goal in mind and that is profits. As I am just one of Mr. Shiver's daughter, I can attest that he walks the streets he looks to pioneer and breaks into tales of Bahamian settlers that had economic success in Coconut Grove. The Grove was bred from black innovation and composed of strong innovators who seized their dreams in the face of all adversity. While construction progress is inevitable; more time needs to be spent inquiring on whom we allow to expand on our historical lands and make sure that their intentions will serve the current inhabitants. In a time where expansion in the Grove is the plant of life, I would recommend allowing Mercy hospital born, Coral Gables Senior High graduated and most importantly Coconut Grove resident from birth Cornelius Shiver lead the way with the innovation. Preserving history in general is pertinent and with zone approval a continual of black history will continue in Coconut Grove under his compassionate and wise guidance. Please aid in Mr. Shiver's efforts maintain a affordability and black legacy strong in 8858 Submittal -Public Comments Submitted Online for the April 8, 2021 City Commission Meeting Codi Melodie Ketsia Shiver Rolle - Mitchell Marcellus 11725 SW 244th LN, Homestead, FI 33032 4716 Brooker Street Miami, FI 33133 5950 SW 74th Street Apt 401 Miami, FL 33143 Carter St, 3065, 3069, 3091 and 3095 Plaza St PZ. 1 6760 Land Use - 3040 Carter St, 3065, 3069, 3091 and 3095 Plaza St PZ. 2 6761 Rezoning - 3040 Carter St, 3065, 3069, 3091 and 3095 Plaza St PZ. 1 6760 Land Use - 3040 Carter St, 3065, 3069, 3091 and 3095 Plaza St #coconutgrove My name.is Codi Shiver and my current address is 11725 SW 244th Ln, Homestead, FI 33032. I am in full support of zoning items PZ- 1 and PZ-2. I was born and raised in Coconut Grove. My family and I have a goal to one -day return to Coconut Grove and raise our children in this beautiful and historic community. I believe that we will have a good chance to achieve this goal because of my father's project. My father, Corneilus Shiver who is a resident of Coconut Grove has taken the initiative to develop our family property that was passed down from my grandparents. This development is consistent with the zoning in the area and will be an amazing and much needed redevelopment for the historic west Grove. My name is Melodie Rolle -Mitchell and my address is 4716 Brooker Street. I am writing in support of agenda items.PZ.1 and PZ-2. I was raised in the Grove. I have a home also at 3435 Charles Avenue. I support Cornelius Shiver on the initiative to develop property passed down through his family. The T-4 zoning designation he is seeking, is consistent with the Wendy's across the street from his property and is consistent with the town homes recently built in the area.

As a mother, I have a desire to live and raise my children in Coconut Grove. Coconut Grove is a community that has many outstanding public and private schools and many beautiful parks. It is strategically located 15 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from the University of Miami and 10 minutes from Downtown Miami. That is why I participated in the petition drive to get community support for this item. We collected 100 signatures in support of PZ1 and PZ2.

Like so many of the residents whose signatures we obtained, I too, support this zoning application to get the project. My name is Joyce Sands and I live at 141 George Allen Ave in Coconut Grove. I am writing in support of zoning items PZ-1 and PZ- 2. I attended a community workshop on this zoning application and I am fully informed, and want to express my support for rezoning 3095 Plaza from T-3 to T-4. The location is within two blocks of the Douglas Road Metro Station and within 150 feet of US.1. The Coconut Grove Homeownees and Tenants Association passed a resolution supporting this zoning application. Those of us who were born, raised and still live in the first black community in Miami overwhelming supports.PZ.1 and PZ.2. Thank you My name is Anthony Witherspoon and I live at 3629 Grand Ave. Apt#22 in Coconut Grove. I am writing in support of items PZ.1 and PZ.2. I am a lifetime native of Coconut Grove and grew up with Cornelius Shriver who is also a lifetime "Grovite". His integrity is held in the highest regards in the community. His love for Coconut Grove is second to none. Neil is one of few Grovites who has chosen to stay in the community and build some thing, unlike 99% of the other developers that come and go, that claim they love the Grove, that he and his family will personally live in and enjoy for the rest of their lives!. I applaud the initiative of Mr. Shriver vision in developing his family property in Coconut Grove that has been passed down through his family. Under the subject zoning application he is seeking to improve his property for a three story, 5 units housing development. Allowing one additional floor and three additional units is consistent with the unaffordable town homes recently built in the area. I and the many folks here today supports his project to the utmost! And I respectfully ask that you do the same by voting to approve the project as well. Thank you.

Wanted to see how to work together with the city to have pick ups for boats more organized and to help the community. In favor of Powers In favor of Mr. Carter I want to send a letter to support for Items PZ- 1. I was born and raised in Coconut Grove, as were my families generations before me. While I now live in Miami -Dade, it has long been a goal of mine to return to living and building a business in Coconut Grove. Seeing the residential project being developed by Cornelius Shiver has been more than inspirational to us who have a great history in Coconut Grove and wish to return and start our own legacies there. I am aware that Mr. Shiver is developing on property passed down to him by his family and it gives me great comfort to know a lifetime resident with respect for the qualities that make Coconut Grove such a historic and unique place has begun to preserve his own legacy there. It is in the Coconut Grove communities best interest to see this project through under the guidance of a someone who knows it best and can add to its historic charm as opposed to an outsider that only sees future opportunity without the current greatness fully appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention to my support. Hi - thank you for your time. I'm a resident of Miami Beach, and was born and raised in Kendall. As an avid cyclist who supports the need for Miami -Dade county to develop a sustainable and safe infrastructure for residents and tourists alike, inclusive of cycling lanes, micro -mobility, public transit, and safe pedestrian passage, I wonder why these funds would be allocated to the Department of Resilience and Public Works rather than the Department of Transportation & Public Works as a component of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan?
