This area is too small for commercial - 20 use and it is currently an important people's crossing (including of kids' strollers and pets) given all the big and commercial businesses already around.

PZ. 19 1000 #148 Brick 92 As a resident of the area, I can say with confidence that re -zoning this area would be disastrous for the eft Rez Brickeff neighborhood and community. We now have almost no green space in central Brickeff, but for Paz onin these areas. The traffic at the neighboring intersections is already horrendous and wilt certainly be made Faiz Rah a, g - significantly worse with additional residential zoning. As a pedestrian, I have been nearly hit at the a man Mia 20 crosswalks multiple times. As a driver, often there is so much congestion I cannot get to my building mi, and without significant delay. By contrast, the spaces as they currently stand are beautiful and weft - FL 25 maintained. The city commission should not be so flippant with its RESIDENTS' way of Life and property 3313 SE value. That this is coming up again so soon after the Last hearing is disappointing. 1 10 Stre et 10594 Submittal -Public Comments Submitted Online for the November 16, 2023 City Commission Meeting First Last Nam Nam e e Greg Stier San Mois dy e Stre et Addr ess 26 NE 54th St 5910 NE 6th Cour 5530 Suns et Driv Laur Jona e en itis Mia mi, FL 3314 3 Age nda Public Comment Item PZ. 9 #146 77 First of all the owner paid for T4-R lots not T5-0, the price is based on the zoning so why do they deserve Land the subsequent increase in value? Secondly all the lots on the south side of this section are zoned T4-R, Use including the ones adjacent to my single story property at 26 NE 54 so do they all get up zoned now? If I - 43 am T5-0 do I now get T6? Third, these tots have been Left derelict for two and half years, the buildings are NE unsecured, there are homeless people Living in them, so why should the City now reward the owner by 53 increasingly the value of their property. Finally I would ask why the owner needs these Lots up zoned at St aft, what specifically are they planning to build that requires higher zoning? Where are the plans, what is and the timeline? Haff the property they bought already is T5-0 and what is stopping them from just reseffing 50 the up zoned Land at a profit? NE 54 St RE. 11 #148 63 RO W- Nan ting of Tree s, Shru bs and Plan is RE. 15 #149 54 Auth orize d CM - Boat ing Rest ricte d Area Bay Acua tic Pres erve Harmful silt, toxins, and poffutants runoff into the Bay through stormwater. SwaLes are important for stormwater management, yet so many of our swaLes are unpLanted and eroded. Current city code affows for and encourages the planting of herbaceous plants and forbs in rights -of -way — even requires that 30% must be native. So what are we waiting on? Let's get our swaLes planted with native plants, which is a simple, affordable green infrastructure strategy that can help save our Bay. RE.11 in its current form misuses Chapter 17 of current code, which is for the Planting of Trees, Shrubs, and WOODY Plants. There is a difference between woody plants and herbaceous plants. The current existing code already affows for the planting of herbaceous plants and forbs. The current code requires a minimum of 30% of native plants in rights -of -ways. I am writing to urge you to protect Mangrove Island Located in Biscayne Bay off Morningside Park because it is a confirmed Brown Pelican nesting rookery. Despite Florida Fish and WifdLife posting educational signage to inform the public of the rookery's presence, boats and other recreational watercraft continue to speed very dose to the rookery and anchor next to it to fish. Such actions are highly disruptive to the nesting birds, and can cause nest abandonment. Most alarming, 5 Brown Pelicans and 1 Magnificent Frigatebird were recently found there dead hanging from mangrove trees, entangled in monofifament fishing Line with hooks still attached! To put an end to such brutal deaths, I urge City of Miami Commissioners to designate a "Non -Motorized Vessel Zone" around the nesting rookery to prevent detrimental human disturbances and nest abandonment. I also urge you to designate an "Idle Speed No Wake" zone on the I ntracoastaL Channel adjacent to the rookery. Marine Patrols should also be increased in this area to enforce both designations. This wilt ensure protections for the rookery, manatees, all other wildlife and for humans who recreate here, including kayakers, paddle boarders and swimmers.
