Agenda Item Number 0
If reference to the "Whitecap Preserve Project" being built where the old Schlitterbahn was located I highly disapprove of the new
"residence" area being added. I live on the Island & we don't need a huge area of new residences. People need to buy what is
available first. We don't need to bring the Island up to the 21st century crowding us with more people on the beaches, in the
grocery stores, & restaurants! Do you live on the Island? Things have gotten more crowded the last several years! The growth
Describe Feedback: needs to slow down not speed up. We don't want to be another Port Aransas or S. Padre Island. We have a smaller community
atmosphere & it's great as it is! I say no to the huge influx of people this will bring! Fix what is already here! We need our roads
totally redone & the JFK bridge fixed so we don't have to live with the repairs again for many years. We need our parks made over
tool Maybe adding the new park in the Schlitterbahn area would be a nice addition!

Whitecap preserve on NPI
General comment
I am opposed to this project . It will harm so much of our wildlife and contribute to poor water quality over time. It will make our
waters polluted and unsafe to be in. The island cannot handle such a massive influx of people. It will make a very negative impact
and our barrier island cannot handle it. Please please don't allow this project to start.

Topic Whitecap Development
Agenda Item Number
Describe Feedback:
I worry the infrastructure of the Island is inadequate for this type of development. Traffic is already an issue here. Sewer is already
issue. Clean drinking water is already issue. The amount of sand that would be kicked up and blown into the existing homes around
the proposed development would need to be addressed aswell. There would need to dedicated turning lanes. The schools would
need more funding to handle the amount of new families in the area.

Please reconsider the development to padre island at whitecap. This would ruin the island and put a huge strain on traffic and the small
charter school we have grown to adore. It's so rare to find a place like this and of you take that away it leaves no room for our children to
enjoy the island the way I did. This breaks my heart. We have such a huge traffic problem already and this will make it much worse. None of
this is my opinion, but rather facts. You must decide if the developers money matters more than the families that grew up here. Please
reconsider this one and let's work together to find an alternative. Otherwise I'm finding another oasis to call home.

We own a home on Dasmarinas directly across from "phase 1" development. We have a list of concerns on how this will impact wildlife and
residents on the island.
Describe Feedback:
We would like a risk assessment on how the storm surges will impact our property as a result from opening up all the canals and allowing
more water to flow in. We are concerned about increasing traffic on and off the island due to one bridge, causing delays in emergency
response and hurricane exits. A second bridge should be built before this project even begins. Schools are another major issue, as Seashore
Academy currently has a waitlist. With increased population, another school should be built before development. We are deeply concerned
and devastated for the wildlife losing their habitat and migratory nesting grounds directly in front of us for homes and canals to be built. The
Black Rail is a secretive marsh bird that recently listed in 2020 as near threatened. Monarch butterflies. Lastly, taxes increasing significantly.

As a resident of the island, I worry about infrastructure being able to handle the increased population. Right now,at times, there is low water
pressure. We have power outages. Our streets are in disrepair. The water pipes are old and have been bursting.During peak times the bridge
traffic gets backed up all the way to HEB (not counting construction). What is going to happen when there are more residents and tourists?
What if there's an emergency where the island needs to be evacuated? What if there's a hurricane starting as a Cat 2 and it changes last
minute to a Cat 5. It happened. Also,there needs to be clarification about this development.All the attractive amenities, will they just be for
that community, or the entire Island? They want tax dollars to help pay for this(TIRZ). Equivalent money that we pay in our taxes. We should
have equal benefits from our tax dollars. Before this project is approved, we need to focus on the present needs of the island,including a 2nd
bridge.

I have concerns about this project on how it will
impact our wildlife and residents.
I am concerned about the impact on our wildlife
losing their habitat and migratory nesting grounds.
The wildlife WILL look for other habitats, going
through our existing neighborhoods. This will mean
more interaction with humans and pets.
The Black Rail marsh bird - listed in 2020 as near
threatened.
1
Our monarch butterfly migrations will be impacted.
2nd concern is the increase of traffic and having
only 1 bridge, causing delays in emergency response
and hurricane evacuations. A second bridge should
be built to accommodate the increases, before this
project even begins.
3rd -Our taxes will increase significantly.
My ask BEFORE this project even begins
1. A risk assessment on how the storm surges will
impact properties from opening canals allowing
more water to flow in.
2. An assessment of how this will impact wildlife.
3. A build of a 2nd bridge to accommodate the
increase in population.

Topic Crypto Mining
Agenda Item Number 6
Describe Feedback: Mayor, and city council. I am writing in today to
demand that you stop the Corpus Crypto Debacle.
Put the residents and voters over the special
interest groups y'all seem dead set on allowing to
ravage our resources. The decisions this council has
recklessly made will impact this city for
generations. Y'all have less than 7 months before
your terms are up. All I am asking is that you stop
doing the absolute worst for our city, and try
listening to your constituents. Stop acting like you
are experts, when the general public can see you're
clurless tools who won a popularity contest.
