IMMODERATE GREEDY DEVELOPERS HAVE BEEN SHOVING MALLS DOWN OUR THROATS ...and we're NOT gonna take it anymore!

It is very important for citizens to show at the Community Council 11 non zoning meeting on the 19th of this month at Felix Varella .

In this meeting they will be talking about proposed amendments to the master plan which include large applications outside the Urban Development Boundary.
This is the stuff that sneaks through and causes us trouble down the road (literally).
Concerns:
Overcrowded schools (see Eveylyn Greer's comments about this...we'll break the bank)
Noise (larger roads...faster traffic...faster traffic....more noise).
Traffic (no comment needed--waiting for snarls to break up))
Water conservation (Biscayne Aquifer will be done in 20 years or less)
Water safety (these are located on the buffer area that protects the well fields)
Air quality (we are one of the worst cities in the country)
Waste management (I could have fun with this one)
Budget (it's expensive to fund urban sprawl)
property values (its turning into an ugly concrete jungle out here)
It is possible that one application might sneak through....we need to be vigilant.
Three things you can do:
1. Assemble your forces
2. Sign in at the meeting and encourage people to make their 2 minute comments
3. Direct people to that www.eyeonmiami.blogspot.com/ You will learn incredible things there and can also develop a forum for our Hidden Lake Park concerns.
