The proposed revisions conflict with multiple city and county initiatives aimed at preserving tree canopy and violate County Code by lowering regulatory standards. They also impose stricter rules on homestead properties than on non -homestead and development sites. By removing tree permitting processes, the revisions prioritize fast development over proper oversight, risking tree Loss during and after construction. As residents of Coconut Grove, we have seen the canopy steadily decrease and feel that the proposed changes weaken the code rather than strengthen it. More time for review would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you, Carlos Rivas Marg a ret 3613 Loquat Fron Avenu efief e d Miami, FL 33133 FR. 1 #16794 Repeal Chapter 62 - Tree Trust Fund - Amend Chapter 17 - Environm entaL Preservati on First of all, giving the residents 3 days to review this revision is completely ridiculous and an abuse of power. GabeLa knows better and should be ashamed of this antic. This item should be deferred so that the public has time to research the item thoroughly. He knows as well as anyone else how important the Tree Canopy issue is to the citizens of Miami and especially to the citizens of Coconut Grove. His shoving this onto this agenda is sneaky and wrong. Please defer this item. Regardless, I agree that tree canopy ordinance needs revision...to make it STRONGER not weaker, which is what this proposal would do. It's actually inconceivable to me that at this time we are stiff not protecting our environment. Do we want zero tree canopy in the Grove? Because that is where we are headed. Do the developers have to have that much blatant power over our commissioners that they are willing to self their soul to the concrete gods, risking the future of our community? Our tree canopy protects our Land, raises our property value and keeps our area cooL. ALL you are doing by making these proposed revisions is making it easier for developers to continue to cut down trees with no consequence or oversight. Why are we making it easier to cut down trees...when every single citizen and scientist tells you the very opposite? Is your Loyalty to developers that flagrant? By removing tree permitting processes, the revisions prioritize fast development over proper oversight, risking tree Loss during and after construction. As residents of Coconut Grove, we have seen the canopy steadily decrease and feel that the proposed changes weaken the code rather than strengthen it. Mr. GabeLa, do the correct thing by the citizens, not the sneaky thing, and defer this item. Thank you, Margaret FronefieLd Mari a 436 NE 77th Gon Street zaLe Rd Apt z 10, Miami, FL 33138 PH.

I am in favor of raising the 35 foot height limit along Biscayne b/c I believe modernization of the Blvd is needed and the height limit, as implemented, has stunted development. I must also add I am against reducing the setbacks.
