Attn.: George Parradl and Barbara Montgomery

We are citizens who have enjoyed picnics, swimming, and

boating at Hidden Lake for many decades...

and we want to see it preserved and kept natural. ...

and are attempting to effect a purchase from the property owner. We seek alternatively a bike path, public picnic area, and open space, with liability insurance paid for by the county parks dept.

WE HAVE SECURED DONORS TO THE CAUSE . Additionally, we have secured 223 signatures on a petition to either make it a public park or significantly lessen the density of the project.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in a final conciliatory negotiation session with the owner Adrian Homes to take place at the clubhouse of Tuscany Homes on either September 20 or 21, to be mediated by a State Representative.

We believe we can accomplish this goal!

Sincerely,

Richard H. Freer

Co Chair

PS Not long ago, there was yet another serious trafffic accident with ambulances and fire rescue paramedics called for serious injuries, due to heavy traffic at 128 St and 127 Avenue.

There is no need for more office and retail space here.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Recently the Community Council deferred the application of the Hidden Lake project...to our collective relief!

This beloved spot has been a favorite of South Dade residents for many decades!

The Council was notified that the local residents are in contact with several foundations regarding the purchase of the Hidden Lake and county and state agencies regarding the making of a public park to augment the high pine preserve on the north side of SW 128 St. from 127 Av to 132 Av.

We are certain that we can raise $13M within two months to purchase it, and $5M to develop it.

Traffic is too heavy on these two lane streets, it is widely believed, for yet another office, retail. and warehouse development. More later!
