BEACON HARBOUR CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.
My name is Michelle Black, residing at Beacon Harbour, 1660 South Bayshore Court, Coconut Grove
about 100 yards away from the proposed development. The Board of Directors of the Beacon Harbour
Condominium Association has asked me to oppose the Grove Bay Application before you today. We
have not been able to reach an agreement with the Developer and, as affected neighbors, cannot agree to
the request to diminish waterfront setbacks.
1. Public Access:
a). The BEACON HARBOUR CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION opposes the
construction of another water access alleyway.
b). The developer's APPLICATION IS INCORRECT in stating they will provide
the "sole point of public access" to the waterfront within the Glencoe
subdivision. This is not true.
C). There is already public access to the bay between 1632 and 1638 South Bayshore
Court, which is in a deplorable state, full of garbage and left over beer cans. We
are against the developer building yet another even longer, narrow alleyway to
the water that may end up in the same state as the existing one or lead to
increased traffic and noise from visitors to our quiet residential
neigborhood. (Please see pictures the attached pictures).
d). The Special Appearance Application is based on the incorrect assumption by the
Developer and the City that there is no public access to the waterway.
2. Staging:
a). Beacon Harbor opposes the construction staging, delivery of building materials,
and all other construction related access through Glencoe which will hugely
impact the residents of the Glencoe subdivision. The nuisance, quality of life
disruptions, the homeowner's diminished capability to sell/rent their units during
the pendency of the Work, dust/debris, damages to paint on building fagades, to
name a few.
b). Construction access should be restricted to Halisee Street (also known as Mercy
Road), which is a non residential street and backs up to the entire proposed
development.
C). The Glencoe neighborhood constituents do not accept staging and vehicular
access through their residential neighborhood when a less obtrusive alternative
exists.
3. We are not opposed to the construction of this project, but we are extremely opposed to the
damaging impact it will have to our community for the next two years.
4. We urge the Commission to DEFER this item in order to continue working with the developers
on our few issues so as to come to a mutually agreeable solution, or otherwise, to vote
AGAINST it.
Thank you.
