'Existing historical districts are under attack'

Got this from a reader:

As Coconut Grove is exploring how to maintain its historical identity towards the future, existing historical districts are under attack by the same modern out of scale development and a current appeal by Morningside residents will be discussed August 25 at 6:45 pm organized by Commissioner Russell to hear from residents about historical preservation. Are you available to attend? The meeting is at the Morningside Park Building. 

If you are available to go to the meeting or would like more information please contact Ms. Judy Miller at judymiller@judy-miller.com

If designated historic districts and design guidelines are not safe to preserve resident's quality of life and consistent predictable neighborhood character, that residents have voluntarily placed on themselves, then none of Miami is safe from new McMansions, bland architecture, and compound style designs. 

The proposal for a vacant lot at 545 55th Terrace is a square box with some applied architectural elements of 4 different styles as described by the architect to "be compatible with historic guidelines."
