Do not approve the developer's request to obtain NE 64th terrace, close it, and use it as
part of the apartment complex development. The City of Miami should value protecting Feb
the neighborhood character and scale. This development is already slated to be much 25
Larger than anything the Upper East Side has, and quite frankly this should never have 2026
been allowed to happen. It's very disappointing that the increase in size was allowed. But 1:26p
as to the street closure, the public wilt not benefit from a street closure that makes m
accessing Legion Park and the community center more difficult. Especially in Light of the MST
huge increase in traffic the area wilt see thanks to this bloated apartment complex.
I am against closing the street for the benefit of the Acre developers. I agree to keep 64th
Terrace, this one way (would be nice if it could become 2way) street for the taxpayers
PZ. 1 public usage as an alternative flow to enter Legion Park and not clog up the short 63rd
666 #1870 Street traffic flow which is all ready used by the existing developments on the north east &
NE 9 south side. The developer should have designed their own Loading area to be within the
68th Closur property they all ready own! Let them revise their design! They have pushed their overly
Street e - Large design and now at the end want to take this street to be their own which I could see
Miami 6443 was their strategy to begin with! Legion Park has all ready become minimized by the other
FL Biscay developer. They should not be able to take our public street. The density they wilt be
33238 ne adding, which does not adhere to the Miami 21 Law, to our neighborhood traffic situation
Blvd wilt impact even a bigger nightmare than we are currently experiencing. PLEASE VOTE
NO and keep some respect for the neighbors quality of Life, the quality of the
neighborhood, the community and the environment .t(�

I am asking you to please vote no to grant this developer NE 64th Terrace. By doing so,
PZ. 1 you are enabling a two square block building with 337 units which means more cars in an
436 #1870 already compromised Biscayne Btvd. There are few cut throughs on Biscayne Btvd unlike Feb
NE 9 other communities where traffic can move through an area. It wilt be a grid Lock on

10 ne Here we are siding with the wishes of the developer without any proper communication to
Blvd the community of why this change happened. Only comment was that our commissioner
was misinformed. What deaf happened behind close doors? We have a right to know.
Deb Stan 830 PZ. 1 You are voting today on PZ 1, which would vacate NE 64th Terrace — a public street that Feb

33138 6443 than 80,000 square feet of additional development capacity. What is that worth? No one MST
Biscay has publicly calculated it. The same is true of the upzoning from T5-R to T6-8. What is the

to, only a month later, before the City Commission, $500,000 payable to the District office
pa,,LitstEs}yitenfubstitution, bundled with other items and approved without discussion.
And nov after residents voiced objections and concerns, to $1 million, again to the District
office. If the amount and purpose keep changing, what oversight will there be? What
accountability? And why are only three adjacent neighborhoods designated for cash
benefits, when others — including mine — use the park and will equally bear the traffic
and other impacts? What criteria were involved in establishing these thresholds? No one
knows because they were never publicly vetted or discussed. Before vacating public and
and granting significant development value, you must conduct transparent due diligence
on what is being given and received. Please ensure that analysis is completed before
allowing this project to move forward.
