Please let me know if you receive it. Thank you, John Collett Here is our household opinion on the proposed changes to the Ridge/U.S. 41 due to the above petition. To put it quite simply OUR SREET CANNOT HANDLE AN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC!!!!1). Ridge St has been the poor step child of Naples streets. Due to my "pestering", we just recently had a yellow lane division stripe installed and currently there are zero speed limit signs strategically posted on Ridge St.2).There has been an increase of children living, playing and catching the school bus at Ridge and 12th street North. I have personally witnessed at least 4 occasions where drivers blow through the school buses STOP flag. My daughter catches this bus to Lake Park Elementary. 3).There are currently no sidewalks on the whole south side of Ridge St. 4) We, living on Ridge, are constantly amazed at the number of speeders utilizing Ridge to transverse from Goodlette Frank to 41. 5).These speeders include large 4 and 8 wheel commercial trucks. 6). As previously mentioned there is ZERO lighting on Ridge, a dangerous situation for such a narrow street. 6). I bought my home on Ridge approx. 4 years ago after living downtown for nearly 20 years in hopes that this neighborhood would evolve into a more family friendly area akin to my 1st Ave South residence. If this petition goes through the above hopes go with it. 7) I also bought my property in hopes of it increasing in value. Again, these hopes will be dashed! 8). More over,the above shortcomings need to be addressed by installing sidewalks, lighting, speed signage, speed bumps and police presence to insure the safety of our neighbor hood young people just like other Naples residential vias. 9) Due to the constant flooding issues our street has dealt with we are now finally getting,hopefully, some relief with the new sewer/drainage system that will cost EACH and EVERY household approx$27,000.00 in charges. I would like to think the city of Naples would put the proper foot forward and give our street what it needs. It is like baking a cake and not putting frosting on it. To end...in light of the above,we at 1071 Ridge Street say NO NO NO to Pet PL20170002684 as our street simply cannot handle it. Sincerely Mila, Nicole, and John Collett.

Recently my husband and I relocated our home and my art studio to a property we have owned on Ridge Street for several years. We have done extensive work to repair the homes and grounds to bring them up to present day standards. We love our location and the neighborhood. What we don't enjoy is the vehicle traffic which has steadily increased over the years. As Ridge Street is one of the few roads that has a direct connection between Goodlette-Frank Road and U.S. 41, it has received the bulk amount of cross traffic using the street as a shortcut. Large trucks and other motor vehicles including car carriers, buses, construction equipment and delivery vehicles are traveling this narrow residential street making it difficult for the 90 residences to access their homes. School buses are having a difficult time stopping to allow the 22 children who live on the street to safely board them. Cars attempt to pass while residents are trying to access their driveways and mailboxes. Does it have to take an accidental death to solve this problem? Last summer flooding on the street was amplified as the result of new home construction and severe rainfall. This is an issue we have to debate with the county and city as the flooding is a result of poor drainage planning by the county. Regardless, the traffic magnifies the problem. The number of vehicles driving through the flood waters and creating wakes severely damaged several of the residences. The City of Naples and the County are in the process of redoing the stormwater system to alleviate the problem this Summer. It could take up to a year to complete. The only breaks in the traffic has come as a result of the replacement of existing water pipes done by the City. We have signed paperwork and petitioned the county to do a traffic study for the neighborhood. We have been told that the street is not designated as a non-closable connector road and may be subject to traffic calming. We have been working with Michael Sawyer in traffic planning on this project. In recent conversations with him he has stated that he has contacted your office to try to work on the traffic problems. We have also been told that they can't do a serious traffic study until the storm and sewer repairs are completed. We would appreciate an expedited response on this study. Meanwhile we have the excessive vehicle count and vehicles with excessive speed and road noise creating a nuisance and danger to our neighborhood. It is particularly bad between 7 AM-10 AM and 3 PM-7 PM. We also have Sandbanks LLC. trying to get approval for a new shopping center with access only from Ridge Street and Rosemary Lane. Previously their only access had been from US 41. This proposal will add more traffic in addition to the traffic generated by the new CubeSmart facility. 22nd Ave. N is another connector road that runs between Goodlette and 41. There are also a number of cars on that street but....it is very well patrolled by the City of Naples, and the placement of two permanent speed monitors along with no trucks signage has made that cut-through viable and acceptable. We would hope we could receive the same protection for Ridge Street. 5 We are requesting: 1. Lowering the speed limit to 25 mph. 2. Double lining the road, and posting no passing signs, as it is presently too narrow to allow safe passing of vehicles. 3. Adding a three way stop sign at Ridge Street and 12th Street. 4. Increased patrolling and speed monitoring. 5. 2 permanent speed monitor signs-- one at each end of Ridge and about 1/4 of the way down the street. Please help us to make the Ridge Street/ Rosemary Heights neighborhood a safe and happy one. You may contact me at 239-253-8827, or Dawn Brown at (239) 290-1517. Thank-you.

More over,the above shortcomings need to be addressed by installing sidewalks, lighting, speed signage, speed bumps and police presence to insure the safety of our neighbor hood young people just like other Naples residential vias. 9) Due to the constant flooding issues our street has dealt with we are now finally getting,hopefully, some relief with the new sewer/drainage system that will cost EACH and EVERY household approx$27,000.00 in charges. I would like to think the city of Naples would put the proper foot forward and give our street what it needs. It is like baking a cake and not putting frosting on it. To end...in light of the above,we at 1071 Ridge Street say NO NO NO to Pet PL20170002684 as our street simply cannot handle it. Sincerely Mila, Nicole, and John Collett.

PL20170002684 Here is our household opinion on the proposed changes to the Ridge/U.S. 41 due to the above petition. To put it quite simply OUR SREET CANNOT HANDLE AN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC!!!!1). Ridge St has been the poor step child of Naples streets. Due to my "pestering", we just recently had a yellow lane division stripe installed and currently there are zero speed limit signs strategically posted on Ridge St.2).There has been an increase of children living, playing and catching the school bus at Ridge and 12th street North. I have personally witnessed at least 4 occasions where drivers blow through the school buses STOP flag. My daughter catches this bus to Lake Park Elementary. 3).There are currently no sidewalks on the whole south side of Ridge St. 4) We, living on Ridge, are constantly amazed at the number of speeders utilizing Ridge to transverse from Goodlette Frank to 41. 5).These speeders include large 4 and 8 wheel commercial trucks. 6). As previously mentioned there is ZERO lighting on Ridge, a dangerous situation for such a narrow street. 6).

We had received a copy of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program Application Form from him advising us to contact you. In reading through this form, I noticed in the streets that were listed as through streets, Ridge Street was not one of them, but there was also an asterisk at the bottom of the page that indicated that other streets were included. Is Ridge street officially considered a through street?As a resident of the neighborhood I am concerned that there is far more traffic using the street than it can handle. I have observed anything from bicycles to motor coaches and tractor trailer rigs using Ridge Street as an easy shortcut between Goodlette Road and U.S. 41. At morning rush hour the street is packed with cars trying to make a right hand turn on to U.S. 41 north.The 30 mph speed limit is rarely enforced. We have children living on the street and I am concerned that one of these days someone will be killed by one of these vehicles. There are also concerns with the upcoming proposal by Sandbanks LLC to add additional permanent parking in a residentially zoned area, a retention area and the moving of the shopping center from US 41 to the center of a 2.38 acre parcel that includes the Mr.Tequila restaurant next to my property. We are worried that additional traffic will be added to the already congested conditions. In addition to the excessive amount of traffic, the recent addition of new housing construction on the street and last year's rainstorms, have added unsafe flooding conditions to the problem. Several homes last summer were severely damaged by cars and trucks creating wake conditions in the flood waters. I know Mr. Wiley is actively working with the city of Naples to resolve that problem. We are presently in the process of filling out the application to manage the traffic, but do need to know the status of Ridge Street, as we are going to be actively seeking traffic calming initiatives. We are setting up a neighborhood meeting 10 to be held at my home at 1006 Ridge Street on Saturday, February 17, at 10 am. I hope that someone from the county might be able to join us and address this problem.

In reading through this form, I noticed in the streets that were listed as through streets, Ridge Street was not one of them, but there was also an asterisk at the bottom of the page that indicated that other streets were included. Is Ridge street officially considered a through street?As a resident of the neighborhood I am concerned that there is far more traffic using the street than it can handle. I have observed anything from bicycles to motor coaches and tractor trailer rigs using Ridge Street as an easy shortcut between Goodlette Road and U.S. 41. At morning rush hour the street is packed with cars trying to make a right hand turn on to U.S. 41 north.The 24 30 mph speed limit is rarely enforced. We have children living on the street and I am concerned that one of these days someone will be killed by one of these vehicles. There are also concerns with the upcoming proposal by Sandbanks LLC to add additional permanent parking in a residentially zoned area, a retention area and the moving of the shopping center from US 41 to the center of a 2.38 acre parcel that includes the Mr.Tequila restaurant next to my property. We are worried that additional traffic will be added to the already congested conditions. In addition to the excessive amount of traffic, the recent addition of new housing construction on the street and last year's rainstorms, have added unsafe flooding conditions to the problem. Several homes last summer were severely damaged by cars and trucks creating wake conditions in the flood waters. I know Mr. Wiley is actively working with the city of Naples to resolve that problem. We are presently in the process of filling out the application to manage the traffic, but do need to know the status of Ridge Street, as we are going to be actively seeking traffic calming initiatives. We are setting up a neighborhood meeting to be held at my home at 1006 Ridge Street on Saturday, February 17, at 10 am. I hope that someone from the county might be able to join us and address this problem.

I am presently trying to sell my property, in part due to the unsafe road conditions caused by too narrow a street, lack of a side walk on the South side of Ridge and the amount and speed of traffic. It is only a matter of time before there is a serious injury or death on the street due to the County's refusal to act on the requests of the neighbors for a traffic calming devise such as a stop sign or speed bumps. There is a bus stop approximately 100 feet from my front door and children gather there at a time when there is considerable traffic and poor visibility due to the position of the sun in the windshields of cars heading East on Ridge. I implore you to take action to put at least one stop sign on our street before there is a tragedy. Our requests for action are a matter of public record and WHEN an accident occurs, will amount to notice to Collier County of this issue and the lack of responsiveness by our local government to address this problem. However, a huge financial settlement against Collier County will not comfort a family for the loss of their loved one. PLEASE meet with the residents on Ridge to discuss how to best address the current traffic problem on our street. With kind regards, M.

The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location -375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40'for retail and 50'for commercial. PUD calls for 60'with embellishments(65'total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio -square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings,then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units,then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Rd. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate from Collier County Growth Management Plan. Thank you for your consideration. ROBERT H. EARDLEY, Esq.,LL.M.

It has been a special place for us to live. We realize growth is inevitable, but in the last few years it has really accelerated at an unhealthy pace. So many new large developments have been built or are being built. This has resulted in traffic issues so bad that we avoid many areas during the busy season. The last season has been by far the worst. The infrastructure has to catch up with the existing growth. The Collier County Growth Management Plan was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. We feel that granting a zoning variance on this property to build 375 housing units at a height of 5 stories on this property is not the right decision to make. Benjamin & Kathleen King 56 Myrtle Rd.

My wife, Kathleen King and I have lived at 56 Myrtle Rd. in Pine Ridge for over 20 years. We both attended the June 5, 2018 Meeting and agree with all the comments listed below. The meeting was really was sub-standard and should be disqualified. The density of this development and its impact on already existing traffic issues on Goodlette and Pine Ridge roads particularly in season really needs to be addressed. Dear Penny Taylor Re: Pine Ridge Commons- PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 I am writing to voice my concerns and objections to the above referenced Planned Unit Development application, as noted below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or`mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location - 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units -4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio - square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application.

No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 2 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette- Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd - and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or`mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location - 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units -4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio - square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd - and the list goes on. i In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioners, I strongly object to the proposed rezoning my neighborhood of Pine Ridge to allow for the construction of approximately 400 units of apartment housing. We are residents of Pine Ridge for nearly 20 years-- my wife and I chose the community for its rural style living, the fact it is not gated, and for its spacious, non-intrusive life style. It is a unique residential area and its character does not deserve to be altered by changing the zoning and adding increased density. We hopefully would all be able to enjoy the community we select to make our home and not to have its character detrimentally altered by developers' profit motive. Leave Pine Ridge the way it is.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioner Taylor: We have been residents of Pine Ridge Estates for over 30 years, and we moved here for the open space, large lots, and family atmosphere. It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic, congestion, and dangerous intersections for Pine Ridge Residents! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property! We do not appreciate developers coming in Pine Ridge or around the corner, splitting up lots or changing the zoning for the developers' personal financial gain. The zoning laws serve all community members. Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members. Additionally, the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. The 31 acre property in question has already been re-zoned once before at the request of the Developer. The original zoning was Rural Agricultural and Residential Single Family (RSF-3). RSF-3 permits three dwelling units per acre while the Agricultural Zoning permits one dwelling unit per five acres. A zoning change was granted (December 14, 1999) to allow retail and commercial use at this location. We do not believe that an exception to the GMP and zoning for this site should be granted for a second time. We, the community members, trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of greedy Developers. This is paradise! Do not turn us into Miami please! Yours truly, Gary W. and Susan C.

It has been a special place for us to live. We realize growth is inevitable, but in the last few years it has really accelerated at an unhealthy pace. So many new large developments have been built or are being built. This has resulted in traffic issues so bad that we avoid many areas during the busy season. The last season has been by far the worst. The infrastructure has to catch up with the existing growth. The Collier County Growth Management Plan was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. We feel that granting a zoning variance on this property to build 375 housing units at a height of 5 stories on this property is not the right decision to make. Benjamin & Kathleen King 56 Myrtle Rd.

I/we, the community members trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of Developers. yours truly Linda and Jerry Stawski, 173 Tupelo RD,Pine Ridge Estates 1 GrecoSherry From: Susan DeVito <sdevito64@me.com> Sent: Friday, June 8, 2018 9:43 PM To: HomiakKaren; pdearborn@johnrwood.com; EbertDiane; FryerEdwin; StrainMark; ChrzanowskiStan; SchmittJoseph; eastmath@collierschools.com; BellowsRay; FialaDonna; SolisAndy; SaundersBurt; TaylorPenny; McDanielBill Subject: Pine Ridge Commons - PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 To Whom It May Concern Re: Pine Ridge Commons- PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 I am writing to voice our concerns and objections to the above referenced Planned Unit Development application, as noted below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or'mock-ups' of the proposed housing units 'contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) *questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed,we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location-375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40'for retail and 50'for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65'total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio-square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings,then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units,then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding(assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd,Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic),the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd -and the list goes on. 1 In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners. Thank you for your consideration regarding this enormous potential mistake Susan and Andrew DeVito 2 14 June 2018 550 West Place Naples,Florida 34108-2653 Re: Petition CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 Mr.Ray Bellows, County Liaison Collier County Planning Commission 3299 Tamiami Trail,East, Suite 303 Naples,Florida 34112 Dear Mr.Bellows: We are writing to express our objections to the above-referenced Planned Unit Development (PUD). Specific objections are enumerated below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on 05 June 2018 at the North Naples Church was inadequate and should be disqualified as a valid meeting for the approval process. Reasons for disqualification are presented below: • Verbal interaction(questions from attendees and answers from representatives) was frequently inaudible. • Answers to questions were, in some instances, assumptive(prior knowledge of proposed project details). • No hard-copy handouts were provided(e.g. plans,sketches,mock-ups of the proposed housing units). • Some answers were contradictory(e.g. traffic studies). 2. Housing Unit Density. The proposed housing unit density(375 units with at least 2 residents per unit resulting in a minimum of 2 POVs(privately owned vehicles) per unit is not in accordance with the original,historical zoning. 3. Housing Unit Height. The proposed height of planned housing units(4 stories over one story of parking giving a final height of 5 stories)is not in keeping with the current height restrictions of 40 feet for retail and 50 feet for commercial. The PUD calls for 60 feet with embellishments which theoretically could be 65 feet total. Most Pine Ridge owners' lots that back onto Goodlette-Frank Road and many interior lots were densely wooded in 1 the past providing a buffer against high winds (e.g. hurricanes,tornadoes). However, Hurricane Irma(2017)clearly demonstrated protection from dense stands of native trees can no longer be assumed present as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion Ratio(square footage of commercial housing). It remains unclear why it is necessary to include the conversion ratio in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to construct 375 housing units by a change of use, building on empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings,then that is the plan and no conversion ratio is necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units,them the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Genuine concern remains that at a later date this conversion ratio can be invoked to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (>375). 5. Increased Motor Vehicular Traffic. The above-referenced PUD application proposes adding an assumed 750-900 POVs for assumed for multiple trips per day and frequently at concentrated times of the day and at one of the busiest intersections in the area(Pine Ridge Road and Goodlette-Frank Road). Increased traffic will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection,but also Panther Lane, which is owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students,parents and teachers, North Naples church parishioners and the Village School students,parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Road to head south. Also,adversely affected will be Pine Ridge homeowners and guests exiting Center Street making U-turns to hed north on Goodlette-Frank Road,Autumn Woods homeowners and guests crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to turn south and everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pind Ridge Road heading south on Goodlette (4 lanes of traffic!),the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Road and anyone else attempting negotiate the already existing excessive volume of motor vehicular traffic on both roads. In summary,we are vehemently opposed to deviating from the existing carefully considered, discussed,and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. Our objections are to the proposed height and housing density and traffic density of the proposed project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of Collier County Commissioners. Overall,we believe that approval and execution of the project proposed the above-referenced project will exacerbate existing traffic issues in the area of the Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection,negatively impact property values and the currently existing highly-desirable lifestyle in Pine Ridge,and reduce the safety of current Pine Ridge residents. 2 In advance,please accept our thanks for your time and consideration.

We know you all care about maintaining the health of our infrastructure and the resulting safety and well-being on local citizens. However, we are gravely concerned by the way this petition has come forward and is charging false and exaggerated upside to the community. We understand the developers of the subject application are requesting your approval to change the zoning to their financial benefit. However, the negative impact on our community is beyond comprehension due to the change in potential population density...whether it's our storm water, our traffic, our personal safety, our school over-crowding, and most importantly, our children and their safety. We in no way, support this rezoning. We rely on each one of you to protect our community and ensure we remain the premier "Naples" we are. We ask your support and your"no" vote, to ensure this application does not pass and is refused, revoked and dismissed. We trust you will support our community's position to protect us from the passing of this petition. When we vote for each of you as representatives, we trust you to keep our best interest at the core of your decision-making. Please don't let us down! Thank you in advance for your accountable stewardship, protecting the growth of our community. We look forward to your "no" votes to this petition.

Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but 1 Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. Do not turn us in to the next Fort Lauderdale. 4. Conversion ratio - square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan.

Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). Most of that space is unused at it is. So what additionally is the developer giving up??? Nothing. 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed)frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Rd -and the list goes on. You are planning to build a multi-deck parking garage at Clam Pass Park. This project does not take in to consideration that nor the major expansions happening up Goodlette-Frank at Arthrex and NCH Hospital's adjoining medical buildings going up. 6. Required open/green space standard of 25% has been totally disregarded. The 1.47 acre existing pond does not meet this requirement. IF the project is approved by you, we will ask the federal government and state of Florida to conduct a full NEPA review due to this willful violation of open/green space requirements. We may also reserve the right to hire an environmental/ land use planning law firm to challenge your decision should you approve this project that will permanently ruin the character of the neighborhood and surrounding area. We will ask them to take an in-depth review of every decision made on this and the original application by the different county departments and the planning commission. This area was meant to "Be Green," not five stories of cement buildings and parking garages. 7.Our schools will be unnecessarily overburdened, causing a drop in the quality of our children's education. We have children in Sea Gate Elementary, and in two years to start Pine Ridge Middle School. We moved to this neighborhood "For The Schools" and peace, quiet and country feeling. Undoubtably this project will pull down the school test scores and quality of our children's education. In summary, we do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. Our subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing traffic density and environmental short comings of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners. Respectfully, Christopher& Jacqueline von Zwehl Pine Ridge Estates Residents 2 TO: Collier County Planning Commission Collier County Board of Commissioners FROM: George B. Szczerbaniuk, M.D. Jaroslawa Szczerbaniuk, R.Ph. RE: We strongly oppose Pine Ridge Commons PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 DATE: June 19, 2018 Dear Commissioner: We are year-round residents of Pine Ridge Estates and strongly oppose the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons Planned Unit Development(PUD). PREFACE: On June 4, a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM)for the proposed Rural Lands West(RLW) development was held at Cornerstone United Methodist Church on Immokalee Road. We saw numerous signs in the area announcing the event. Moreover, an individual in bright clothing directed people to the correct entrance, even though Cornerstone United Methodist Church is not very large. Once inside,there were numerous brochures, handouts, and detailed poster boards of the proposed project. On June 5, a NIM for the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD was held at North Naples Church on Goodlette-Frank Road. There were no signs in the area about the event. No one directed people to the correct entrance,even though North Naples Church is a large complex. Once inside, there were no brochures or handouts,while the few poster boards merely showed current maps of the area in question. In addition, comments made by those representing the developers were often confusing, incomplete, or unrelated to questions being asked. Currently,this 31 acres Pine Ridge Commons PUD is zoned for"Commercial Infill" (commercial and office space). The developers want the zoning amended to "Mixed Use" in order to allow 375 rental apartments up to 5 stories high, including ground level garages, with the potential to increase the number of apartments via a conversion. Why was the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD held off-season when so many residents are up north? Why was it held with so little publicity? Why did it provide so little information and so few answers? Clearly,this NIM was little more than a sham carried out to fulfill a requirement while providing a minimum amount of information to as few people as possible. OBJECTIONS: (1) SERIOUS TRAFFIC ISSUES: Three hundred seventy-five (375) residential apartments equate to 750 motorized vehicles on average, excluding visitors. The total could exceed 1,000 even without a conversion. -- The Pine Ridge/Goodlette-Frank intersection is already one of the busiest in Collier County and can't be widened. Considerably more traffic in that immediate area is the last thing it needs. -- North Naples Church parishioners and Village School parents/students/teachers enter and exit via Goodlette-Frank Road just north of the planned development. That is hard to do at times. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Pine Ridge Estates homeowners exiting at Center Street have to make a right (south)turn onto Goodlette-Frank Road. If they want to go north,they have to make a U-turn shortly thereafter—near the exit for North Naples Church. That is often hard to do. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. 1 -- Because of increased traffic, more people will use Pine Ridge Estates as a "short cut"to go from Goodlette-Frank Road to US 41. The roads in Pine Ridge Estates are "public", but there is no reason its residents should have to put up with excess, speeding, non-local traffic just to enrich developers. -- Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to head south will be adversely affected by the increased traffic as they cross multiple lanes of traffic. - Northgate homeowners exiting on Goodlette-Frank Road will be adversely affected by the increased traffic, especially if they are trying to make a left turn across multiple lanes of traffic to head south or trying to make a right turn across multiple lanes of traffic in order to make a left(west)turn at Pine Ridge Road. -- Anyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Road and wishing to head south on Goodlette- Frank Road needs to cross 4 lanes of traffic. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Panther Lane is mentioned by the developers as a route into and out of the proposed residential areas, but it is actually a street for Pine Ridge Middle School. In fact, it is closed off(by gates)to through traffic much of the day. --At the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD,the developers said their"traffic study"was published December 5, 2017. They claimed not to know when the actual traffic data was collected, but it was before then. This hardly sounds like the "peak season"survey they claim it was. Many seasonal residents don't come down until well after December 5. (2) CRITICAL DELAYS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: North Collier Fire Rescue Station#40 is on the north side of Pine Ridge Road--just east of Goodlette-Frank Road and close to the intersection, It is next to the 31 acres of the planned residential development. The Fire Department can override traffic signals, but it has no magic trick to overcome delays caused by the considerably increased traffic the proposed development would bring to that area. Minutes, even seconds, count in life and death emergency situations. (3) SCHOOL SAFETY AND OVER-CROWDING ISSUES: Pine Ridge Middle School is right next to the planned residential development. Deadly school shootings--with resultant lockdowns of the surrounding areas-- are all too common now, as are sexual predators and child abductions. Does it make any sense at all to build 375 residential apartments, rentals no less,that close to a school? Moreover, enrollment at Pine Ridge Middle School already exceeds optimum levels. If the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD is approved and you voted for it, are you willing to accept responsibility for adverse consequences? The proposed amendment-has many serious negatives—and no positives--for nearby residents and others traveling through that area. The developers of the Pine Ridge Commons PUD are entitled to the current zoning of their property. They are not entitled to zoning changes merely to satisfy their changing desires,especially when that would be to the detriment of the community at large. Please join us in opposing this petition. The public's lives,safety,and well-being will be affected by your vote. Thank you.

The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or'mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic.

This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine 1 Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd -and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process.

The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location- 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40'for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65'total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio-square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5.

Szczerbaniuk, M.D. Jaroslawa Szczerbaniuk, R.Ph. RE: We strongly oppose Pine Ridge Commons PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 DATE: June 14, 2018 Dear Commissioner: We are year-round residents of Pine Ridge Estates and strongly oppose the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD(Planned Unit Development). PREFACE: On June 4,a NIM (Neighborhood Information Meeting)for the proposed RLW(Rural Lands West) development was held at Cornerstone United Methodist Church on Immokalee Road. We saw numerous signs in the area announcing the event. Moreover, an individual in bright clothing directed people to the correct entrance, even though Cornerstone United Methodist Church is not very large. Once inside,there were numerous brochures, handouts, and detailed poster boards of the proposed project. On June 5, a NIM for the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD was held at North Naples Church on Goodlette-Frank Road. There were no signs in the area about the event. No one directed people to the correct entrance, even though North Naples Church is a large complex. Once inside, there were no brochures or handouts, while the few poster boards merely showed current maps of the area in question. In addition, comments made by those representing the developers were often confusing, incomplete, or unrelated to questions being asked. Currently,this 31 acres Pine Ridge PUD is zoned for "Commercial Infill" (commercial and office space). The developers want the zoning amended to "Mixed Use" in order to allow 375 rental apartments up to 5 stories high, including ground level garages,with the potential to increase the number of apartments via a conversion. Why was the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD held off-season when so many residents are up north? Why was it held with so little publicity? Why did it provide so little information and so few answers? Clearly,this NIM was little more than a sham carried out to fulfill a requirement while providing a minimum amount of information to as few people as possible. OBJECTIONS: (1) SERIOUS TRAFFIC ISSUES: Three hundred seventy-five(375) residential apartments equate to 750 motorized vehicles on average, excluding visitors. The total could exceed 1,000 even without a conversion. -- The Pine Ridge/Goodlette-Frank intersection is already one of the busiest in Collier County and can't be widened. Considerably more traffic in that immediate area is the last thing it needs. -- North Naples Church parishioners and Village School parents/students/teachers enter and exit via Goodlette-Frank Road just north of the planned development. That is hard to do at times. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Pine Ridge Estates homeowners exiting at Center Street have to make a right (south)turn onto Goodlette-Frank Road. If they want to go north,they have to make a U-turn shortly thereafter—near the exit for North Naples Church. That is often hard to do. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. 1 -- Because of increased traffic, more people will use Pine Ridge Estates as a "short cut"to go from Goodlette-Frank Road to US 41. The roads in Pine Ridge Estates are "public", but there is no reason its residents should have to put up with excess, non-local,speeding traffic just to enrich developers. -- Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to head south will be adversely affected by the increased traffic as they cross multiple lanes of traffic. -- Northgate homeowners exiting on Goodlette-Frank Road will be adversely affected by the increased traffic,especially if they are trying to make a left turn across multiple lanes of traffic to head south or trying to make a right turn across multiple lanes of traffic in order to make a left (west)turn at Pine Ridge Road. -- Anyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Road and wishing to head south on Goodlette- Frank Road needs to cross 4 lanes of traffic. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. --Panther Lane is mentioned by the developers as a route into and out of the proposed residential areas, but it is actually a street for Pine Ridge Middle School. In fact, it is closed off(by gates)to through traffic much of the day. --At the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD,the developers said their"traffic study"was published December 5, 2017. They claimed not to know when the actual traffic data was collected, but it was before then. This hardly sounds like the"peak season" survey they claim it was. Many seasonal residents don't come down until well after December 5. (2) CRITICAL DELAYS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: There is a North Collier Fire Station on the north side of Pine Ridge Road just east of Goodlette-Frank Road. It is close to the intersection and right next to the 31 acres of the planned residential development. The Fire Department can override traffic signals, but it has no magic trick to overcome delays caused by the considerably increased traffic the proposed development would bring to that area. Minutes, even seconds, count in life and death emergency situations. (3) SCHOOL SAFETY AND OVER-CROWDING ISSUES: Pine Ridge Middle School is right next to the planned residential development. Deadly school shootings--with resultant lockdowns of the surrounding areas-- are all too common now, as are sexual predators and child abductions. Does it make any sense at all to build 375 residential apartments, rentals no less,that close to a school? Moreover, enrollment at Pine Ridge Middle School already exceeds optimum levels. If the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD is approved and you voted for it,are you willing to accept responsibility for adverse consequences? The proposed amendment has many serious negatives—and no positives--for nearby residents and anyone else traveling through that area. The developers of the Pine Ridge Commons PUD are entitled to the current zoning of their property. They are not entitled to zoning changes merely to satisfy their changing desires,especially when that would be to the detriment of the community at large. Please join us in opposing this petition. The public's lives and safety will be affected by your vote. Thank you.

We are residents of Pine Ridge for nearly 20 years-- my wife and I chose the community for its rural style living, the fact it is not gated, and for its spacious, non-intrusive life style. It is a unique residential area and its character does not deserve to be altered by changing the zoning and adding increased density. We hopefully would all be able to enjoy the community we select to make our home and not to have its character detrimentally altered by developers' profit motive. Leave Pine Ridge the way it is.

It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic and congestion! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property!

Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members.

The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) .no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or'mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) 'questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location - 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units -4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50'for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio - square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 1 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed)frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Rd -and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered,discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project.

This intersection is already so congested that during season, it takes forever to exit or enter Northgate. Trying to exit off of Solana takes almost as long given the fact that the light is about 2 seconds long on Solana. I realize housing is needed but this corner is not the place for it. Thank you.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioner Taylor: We have been residents of Pine Ridge Estates for over 30 years, and we moved here for the open space, large lots, and family atmosphere. It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic, congestion, and dangerous intersections for Pine Ridge Residents! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property! We do not appreciate developers coming in Pine Ridge or around the corner, splitting up lots or changing the zoning for the developers' personal financial gain. The zoning laws serve all community members. Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members. Additionally, the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. The 31 acre property in question has already been re-zoned once before at the request of the Developer. The original zoning was Rural Agricultural and Residential Single Family (RSF-3). RSF-3 permits three dwelling units per acre while the Agricultural Zoning permits one dwelling unit per five acres. A zoning change was granted (December 14, 1999) to allow retail and commercial use at this location. We do not believe that an exception to the GMP and zoning for this site should be granted for a second time. We, the community members, trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of greedy Developers.

My wife, Kathleen King and I have lived at 56 Myrtle Rd. in Pine Ridge for over 20 years. We both attended the June 5, 2018 Meeting and agree with all the comments listed below. The meeting was really was sub-standard and should be disqualified. The density of this development and its impact on already existing traffic issues on Goodlette and Pine Ridge roads particularly in season really needs to be addressed. Dear Penny Taylor Re: Pine Ridge Commons- PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 I am writing to voice my concerns and objections to the above referenced Planned Unit Development application, as noted below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or`mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location - 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units -4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio - square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic- this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette- Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd - and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioner Taylor: We have been residents of Pine Ridge Estates for over 30 years, and we moved here for the open space, large lots, and family atmosphere. It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic, congestion, and dangerous intersections for Pine Ridge Residents! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property! We do not appreciate developers coming in Pine Ridge or around the corner, splitting up lots or changing the zoning for the developers' personal financial gain. The zoning laws serve all community members. Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members. Additionally, the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. The 31 acre property in question has already been re-zoned once before at the request of the Developer. The original zoning was Rural Agricultural and Residential Single Family (RSF-3). RSF-3 permits three dwelling units per acre while the Agricultural Zoning permits one dwelling unit per five acres. A zoning change was granted (December 14, 1999) to allow retail and commercial use at this location. We do not believe that an exception to the GMP and zoning for this site should be granted for a second time. We, the community members, trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of greedy Developers.

RE: We strongly oppose Pine Ridge Commons PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 DATE: June 14, 2018 Dear Commissioner: We are year-round residents of Pine Ridge Estates and strongly oppose the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD(Planned Unit Development). PREFACE: On June 4, a NIM (Neighborhood Information Meeting)for the proposed RLW(Rural Lands West) development was held at Cornerstone United Methodist Church on Immokalee Road. We saw numerous signs in the area announcing the event. Moreover, an individual in bright clothing directed people to the correct entrance, even though Cornerstone United Methodist Church is not very large. Once inside,there were numerous brochures, handouts,and detailed poster boards of the proposed project. On June 5, a NIM for the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD was held at North Naples Church on Goodlette-Frank Road. There were no signs in the area about the event. No one directed people to the correct entrance,even though North Naples Church is a large complex. Once inside, there were no brochures or handouts, while the few poster boards merely showed current maps of the area in question. In addition, comments made by those representing the developers were often confusing, incomplete, or unrelated to questions being asked. Currently,this 31 acres Pine Ridge PUD is zoned for "Commercial Infill" (commercial and office space). The developers want the zoning amended to "Mixed Use" in order to allow 375 rental apartments up to 5 stories high, including ground level garages, with the potential to increase the number of apartments via a conversion. Why was the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD held off-season when so many residents are up north? Why was it held with so little publicity? Why did it provide so little information and so few answers? Clearly,this NIM was little more than a sham carried out to fulfill a requirement while providing a minimum amount of information to as few people as possible. OBJECTIONS: (1) SERIOUS TRAFFIC ISSUES: Three hundred seventy-five (375) residential apartments equate to 750 motorized vehicles on average, excluding visitors. The total could exceed 1,000 even without a conversion. -- The Pine Ridge/Goodlette-Frank intersection is already one of the busiest in Collier County and can't be widened. Considerably more traffic in that immediate area is the last thing it needs. -- North Naples Church parishioners and Village School parents/students/teachers enter and exit via Goodlette-Frank Road just north of the planned development. That is hard to do at times. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Pine Ridge Estates homeowners exiting at Center Street have to make a right (south)turn onto Goodlette-Frank Road. If they want to go north,they have to make a U-turn shortly thereafter—near the exit for North Naples Church. That is often hard to do. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. 1 -- Because of increased traffic, more people will use Pine Ridge Estates as a "short cut"to go from Goodlette-Frank Road to US 41. The roads in Pine Ridge Estates are "public", but there is no reason its residents should have to put up with excess, non-local,speeding traffic just to enrich developers. -- Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to head south will be adversely affected by the increased traffic as they cross multiple lanes of traffic. -- Northgate homeowners exiting on Goodlette-Frank Road will be adversely affected by the increased traffic,especially if they are trying to make a left turn across multiple lanes of traffic to head south or trying to make a right turn across multiple lanes of traffic in order to make a left(west)turn at Pine Ridge Road. -- Anyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Road and wishing to head south on Goodlette- Frank Road needs to cross 4 lanes of traffic. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Panther Lane is mentioned by the developers as a route into and out of the proposed residential areas, but it is actually a street for Pine Ridge Middle School. In fact, it is closed off(by gates)to through traffic much of the day. --At the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD,the developers said their"traffic study"was published December 5,2017. They claimed not to know when the actual traffic data was collected, but it was before then. This hardly sounds like the"peak season"survey they claim it was. Many seasonal residents don't come down until well after December 5. (2) CRITICAL DELAYS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: There is a North Collier Fire Station on the north side of Pine Ridge Road just east of Goodlette-Frank Road. It is close to the intersection and right next to the 31 acres of the planned residential development. The Fire Department can override traffic signals, but it has no magic trick to overcome delays caused by the considerably increased traffic the proposed development would bring to that area. Minutes, even seconds, count in life and death emergency situations. (3) SCHOOL SAFETY AND OVER-CROWDING ISSUES: Pine Ridge Middle School is right next to the planned residential development. Deadly school shootings--with resultant lockdowns of the surrounding areas-- are all too common now, as are sexual predators and child abductions. Does it make any sense at all to build 375 residential apartments, rentals no less,that close to a school? Moreover, enrollment at Pine Ridge Middle School already exceeds optimum levels. If the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD is approved and you voted for it,are you willing to accept responsibility for adverse consequences? The proposed amendment has many serious negatives—and no positives--for nearby residents and anyone else traveling through that area. The developers of the Pine Ridge Commons PUD are entitled to the current zoning of their property. They are not entitled to zoning changes merely to satisfy their changing desires,especially when that would be to the detriment of the community at large. Please join us in opposing this petition.
