Street on - Altapat tah CRA 1631 PZ. 5 NW #1707 As a resident of the area in questions, I am not in agreement with this exception. This is a residential 14th 3 area already impacted by a large commercial shopping center River Landing Shops (0.4m away), Loan Erne Avite Terrac away), Park Depot Except p p (0.7mi and Fifteen Miami (0.2mi away) to name a few structures/buildings. The sto s ion - area serves as spillover parking causing traffic, excessive noise and general disruption. A new structure Miam 1445 should be built with a secure parking garage for its tenants. Such inconvenience should not be placed i, FL 3312 NW 16 on the existing community. Av 5 As someone who has witnessed the evolution of this neighborhood, and having worked in the adjacent Wynwood area for over a decade, I've seen firsthand what "development" often means: more towering concrete structures designed to accommodate more people. There's no shortage of hotels or Airbnb- friendly apartment complexes in the area, yet we continue to face increased traffic congestion, PZ. 3 #1695 reduced street parking, and the growing impact of transient visitors. These issues are putting a strain on our neighborhood's density and stretching the resources that should be used to support our 455 7 community, such as environmental and reduced parking impact funds. Edgewater should be preserved Enri Vitto ne Except for those who truly call this city home, not transformed into yet another hotel hub that brings que rino 25th ion - unfamiliar drivers into a neighborhood where locals frequently walk with their children and have worked street 459 NE 25 hard to foster a sense of belonging. Additionally, enforcing property line setbacks is crucial to maintaining the character and livability of our community. I'm not against development, but let's apply Street common sense. Just a short five minute drive away, Wynwood offers a commercially thriving district with ample accommodations for visitors. Let's focus on reinforcing and protecting the Edgewater community we've already built, ensuring it remains a place for residents and not just tourists. Do the right thing.

Franny Manan Street Clau Crou 455 PZ. 3 Dear Members of the City Council, My name is Claudia Crousillat, a lifelong Miamian and proud dia sillat NE #1695 resident of Baylofts Condominiums at 455 NE 25th St. My family and I have called this city home for 25th 7 generations, contributing to its vibrant culture and community. Miami thrives because of its people — St Except residents like us who invest in its neighborhoods, nurture its character, and make it a desirable place ion - to live. I am writing with deep concern about the proposed hotel adjacent to Baylofts. This 459 development threatens not only our quality of life but also the very fabric of our residential community. NE 25 I urge you to stop it or impose necessary concessions to protect your constituents. Key Concerns: Street Neighborhood Integrity: Baylofts is situated in a highly residential area. A hotel will disrupt the family - friendly nature of our street and undermine the sense of "home" we cherish. Setback: The proposed construction lacks a setback, placing a wall directly against my balcony and others on the east side. This will severely impact our living standards, property values, and fairness —especially when Baylofts adhered to setbacks. Safety & Congestion: Increased transient traffic will worsen street congestion, posing safety risks for children, pets, and elderly residents in our community. This project prioritizes corporate interests over the well-being of Miami residents. I respectfully ask you to either haft this First Last Street Nam Nam Addre e e ss Agend a Item Public Comment development or enforce measures such as adequate setbacks and parking provisions to mitigate its impact. Every day, it feels harder for ordinary citizens to live in this city —a city we've helped build. Please take action to preserve the integrity of our community.

I urge Tree you to reject these changes, as they represent a significant step backward in our efforts to protect Trust Miami's vital urban forest and mitigate the impacts of climate change. The proposed amendments Fund - contain several deeply troubling provisions that directly conflict with sound urban forestry practices and Amend threaten the ecological integrity of our city and health of its citizens. These include: • Unrestricted Tree e e ss First Last Street Agend Nam Nam Addre a Item Public Comment Chapt Removal by Commission Resolution: Granting the City Commission the power to remove trees by er 17 - resolution, without the requirement for permits or public input, undermines the entire purpose of a tree Enviro ordinance. This provision creates a dangerous precedent that could lead to the arbitrary removal of nment valuable trees for reasons unrelated to public safety or sound urban planning. • Expanded Buildable al Area and Tree Removal: Expanding the definition of "buildable area" to encompass virtually any space Preser including the public right-of-way where a tree could potentially conflict with construction effectively vation prioritizes development over the preservation of our urban forest. This approach disregards the Long- term ecol.ogical. and economic benefits provided by mature trees, discourages preservation efforts, and threatens our streetscapes that enhance our daily Lives. • Exemptions for Single -Family Residences: Exempting homestead properties and new single-family residences built by owner -builders from tree removal permit requirements (except for specimen trees) is a misguided policy. It goes beyond Florida Statue 163.045 allowing? for tree removal without a permit on single family Lots that pose a danger and allows removal of any tree. This provision incentivizes Low -density development, which is contrary to the city's goals of promoting sustainable urban growth and increasing density. It also disproportionately impacts our tree canopy, as single-family Lots are often home to Larger, more mature trees. The Critical Importance of Specimen Trees: Mature specimen -sized trees provide invaluable ecosystem services. They mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve air and water quality, reduce stormwater runoff, provide critical habitat for wil.dl.ife, and enhance property values. In a subtropical environment Like Miami, these benefits become even more crucial.: Removing these trees removes their benefits. The mitigation replacement requirements at 2" or even 4" DBH wilt not realize the same Level of ecosystem services for decades. Furthermore, I concur with the concerns raised regarding the removal of the requirement for ISA Certified Arborist reports for Single-family Lots. These professionals possess the necessary expertise to accurately assess tree heal.th, risk, and value. Their involvement is essential for making informed decisions regarding tree management. The proposed changes also raise concerns about the allocation of Tree Trust Fund dollars. Diverting these funds from tree replacement and canopy expansion to maintenance and education wilt ul.timateLy resul.t in a net Loss of tree canopy, undermining the fund's core purpose. I urge you to reject these proposed amendments and instead initiate a transparent and collaborative review process that includes input from professional Landscape architects, certified arborists, environmental organizations, and community stakehol.ders. We must prioritize the protection and expansion of our urban forest to ensure a heal.thy, sustainable, and resilient future for the City of Miami.
