From: Robert HallstrandTo: crc_hcp@fws.govSubject: Against development of Richmond Pine RocklandDate: Thursday, April 13, 2017 6:33:34 PM

IRREPLACEABLE. With less than 2% of the Pine Rockland habitat remaining in Miami-DadeCounty, this parcel is simply too precious to be used for a residential and retail development thatcan go elsewhere. Alternative Habitat for the multiple endangered species — two butterflies, onebat, one beetle and numerous plant species — cannot be replicated.

UNREALISTIC. The proximity of residential housing units will complicate and likely renderimpossible the controlled burns needed to maintain the Pine Rockland habitat and that are calledfor in the Habitat Conservation Plan. This has been the case in numerous county-maintained PineRocklands near single-family residences, and will be even more so near Coral Reef Commons'planned dense residential area. This plan may look good on paper, but is entirely unrealistic.

INSUPPORTABLE. If the HCP is accepted as drafted the Service will issue an Incidental TakePermit (ITP) for the following species: Florida Leafwing Butterfly; Bartram's Scrub-HairstreakButterfly; Florida Bonneted Bat; Rim Rock Crowned Snake; Gopher Tortoise; Eastern IndigoSnake and the Miami Tiger Beetle.

How can the Fish and Wildlife Service allow the “take” of these threatened and endangeredspecies when so little alternative habitat exists? This "allowed take" is insupportable. How will theService achieve its mandate of ensuring that these species not only survive, but also recover tothe point where the protections of the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed?

DISINGENUOUS. The amount of proposed mitigation for the subject project is woefullyinsufficient, especially when compared to the amount of habitat proposed to be taken. The CoralReef Commons Project claims to set aside more than 100 acres in mitigation, however, 50 ofthese acres are already under obligatory conservation management by the University of Miamiand, as such, represent no real incremental increase in lands under conservation management.Double-dipping in this manner would further compromise endangered and threatened species.

Dear Sirs,I am writing to manifest my opposition, as a citizen, to the approval of the proposeddevelopment including a Wal-Mart and other buildings in the land recently sold by UM.

As we all know, Florida has a delicate environment and forest land not only harbors rarespecies, but also allows to protect other areas from the effects of sea rise and other naturalphenomena. It also could be reserved for other, added-value activities such as tourism andleisure.

There is no shortage either of supermarkets, or of restaurants, or of residential areas in Florida.Therefore, any such additional activity will bring limited incremental benefits to ourcommunity and only create very short-term jobs. On the contrary, protecting our natural landsis an investment in our future and our community.

Thanks for your consideration,Lara Martini

I live near a Wal-Mart in Illinois and the land was considered an environmental property untilWal-Mart and our county decided to change the zoning. The land went from a wetlands tocutting down the trees, to rezoning into a B1, then needing no permission to become a superstore because the county changed the parking ratio so no permission was needed by the countyyo expand. Such as crooked government! Now we live near a truck stop.

I realize I'm writing to s government email address. Do what's right and protect ourenvironment ... trees, land, animals, waterways and keep big business from destroying livesand land.

Thank you,Nancy

From: Englehardt, James DouglasTo: crc_hcp@fws.govSubject: Consideration of the proposal for a Walmart in the south Dade pine rocklandsDate: Saturday, April 15, 2017 6:42:22 PM

Dear Fish and Wildlife Service scientists, I am writing to express the strong opinion that the Walmart proposed for the south Miami-Daderocklands should not be approved unless and until:

- Plans are revised by an ecologist to provide habitat for wildlife flora and fauna, includingcorridors and other support for ecosystem functions, without fragmentation;

- Monoculture lawns and any other landscaping are disallowed to replace the natural habitatof the tract. Of course this will save the need for watering and constant energy-intensivemowing, pest removal, and maintenance;

- The site plan does not create a heat island; and- Light pollution in that area should be minimized so as to allow nocturnal foraging and

hunting. I would suggest the development first of an ecological risk conceptual model as a basis for theassessment, and a projection that minimum viable populations of keystone species can bemaintained. Such an approach would not be expensive, can address concerns that arise if this project is to moveforward, and can serve as example for future development in the region. Kindest regards, James D. Englehardt, Ph.D., P.E.ProfessorCivil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering

I'm writing to request you to provide pine rocklands plants and animals with the protections they urgently need tosurvive extinction. As you know, many of these species are found only in endangered pine rockland forests --including the acres slated for the development of Coral Reef Commons.

The development project's promise to preserve some pine rockland habitat isn't good enough. The loss of thisprecious land could be a death sentence for many of these species, and the proposed habitat conservation plandoesn't account for the fact that, for some of the species, there's simply nowhere else to live. Nor does it explain howthe Service will achieve its mandate of ensuring that these animals and plants not only survive but recover to thepoint where the protections of the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed.

Furthermore, I was disappointed to learn that despite tremendous public opposition to this project and support forthe pine rockland forest habitat and its species, the Service declined to host a public hearing on the proposal. Pleasereconsider this misstep and give the public an opportunity to learn more about our amazing wildlife and the threatsagainst them.

We don't need more development in South Florida. We do need to protect our wildlife -- including imperiled plants,beetles and butterflies -- and their forest home from vanishing.

I'm writing to request you to provide pine rocklands plants and animals with the protections they urgently need tosurvive extinction. As you know, many of these species are found only in endangered pine rockland forests --including the acres slated for the development of Coral Reef Commons.

The development project's promise to preserve some pine rockland habitat isn't good enough. The loss of thisprecious land could be a death sentence for many of these species, and the proposed habitat conservation plandoesn't account for the fact that, for some of the species, there's simply nowhere else to live. Nor does it explain howthe Service will achieve its mandate of ensuring that these animals and plants not only survive but recover to thepoint where the protections of the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed.

Furthermore, I was disappointed to learn that despite tremendous public opposition to this project and support forthe pine rockland forest habitat and its species, the Service declined to host a public hearing on the proposal. Pleasereconsider this misstep and give the public an opportunity to learn more about our amazing wildlife and the threatsagainst them.

We don't need more development in South Florida. We do need to protect our wildlife -- including imperiled plants,beetles and butterflies -- and their forest home from vanishing.

Thank you,

I'm writing to request you to provide pine rocklands plants and animals with the protections they urgently need tosurvive extinction. As you know, many of these species are found only in endangered pine rockland forests --including the acres slated for the development of Coral Reef Commons.

The development project's promise to preserve some pine rockland habitat isn't good enough. The loss of thisprecious land could be a death sentence for many of these species, and the proposed habitat conservation plandoesn't account for the fact that, for some of the species, there's simply nowhere else to live. Nor does it explain howthe Service will achieve its mandate of ensuring that these animals and plants not only survive but recover to thepoint where the protections of the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed.

Furthermore, I was disappointed to learn that despite tremendous public opposition to this project and support forthe pine rockland forest habitat and its species, the Service declined to host a public hearing on the proposal. Pleasereconsider this misstep and give the public an opportunity to learn more about our amazing wildlife and the threatsagainst them.

We don't need more development in South Florida. We do need to protect our wildlife -- including imperiled plants,beetles and butterflies -- and their forest home from vanishing.

Thank you,

Jennifer Nowacki
