The proposed church on the corner of GGB and 951 should not be approved. Strictly from a traffic aspect, the property will greatly affect the residential neighborhood around it with increased traffic. The application calls for a 24/7 operation, and the size of the property is a sure indication of future expansion plans. The application also acknowledges that if they are successful in rezoning this property, the one on the North side of the intersection will follow suit. Also, the vagueness of the answers provided to the residents of GGE at the neighborhood meeting are disconcerting to put it mildly: "Approximately 23 citizens, 4 members of the applicant's team, and the 2 planners from the County attended the NIM. Questions and concerns from the attendees included: • • Number of acres for project site? 6.25 acres • • Number of square feet of storage shed? 1,800 sq. feet • • Types of special events? Not defined yet • •Where will special events be held on the site? in the pastor's residence? Outdoors? If outside, could be in parking area, or in open area, if pastor residence not built. • •Traffic is already a nightmare. Applicant will continue to work with County staff. • • Traffic access to site locations. Applicant will continue to work with County staff. • • Could a bridge entrance be constructed over the Collier Blvd. canal? Not possible, since land that would be needed does not belong to church and safe distance from Golden Gate Blvd could not be accommodated. • • If an event is held in parking area, where will people park?As part of a special event permit a parking plan is required. • • Do not want carnival or revival type events. Agent asked if citizen wanted any other types of events eliminated. • • Speeding on Weber Blvd. Citizens need to work with Sherriff's office. • • Have an off-duty officer for traffic control. • • Churches do not pay property taxes. • •What will be cleared in the preserve area? Only native vegetation would remain. • • Dates of Public Hearings. No dates were set yet. " • Before the permit should even be considered, the applicant at the least should come back to the residents and address the concerns listed above. Otherwise, the approval of this rezoning is essentially an open book to do what they want with no consideration of the impact to the neighbors in a residential neighborhoods peace, privacy and home values.

I know it will be approved I'm not against it but we need your help with traffic calming on Weber Blvd S. The traffic each day in the morning and in the afternoon has no concern for the residence on the street and 95% never obey the speed limit. We need to either have some speed humps installed or stop signs or anything to slow the traffic down. The amount of traffic is directly related to school drop off and pickups and people using Weber Blvd S to bypass 951. ! I ask you and each of the commissioners to help us with the County Traffic department in making our nice residential street safe again so people can walk and ride Bikes on the bike path safely with traffic not re than a couple of feet away traveling at high speed it is not safe. Thank you for your time and all you do for the people of Collier County. Pat Patrick K.

However the addition of this church can only be considered a bad one for this neighborhood. Almost all of the traffic going to and from this church will go down residential streets. Any parishioner coming from the east will have to turn at the light by Max Hasse park and drive down 15t Ave SW, or come down White Blvd and turn on to Weber Blvd S to get to the church. When leaving traveling on Golden Gate Blvd will be an option, all others will head down Weber Blvd S again. I am also concerned about their ability to keep up a church. I haven't ever seen a church that could support itself with only 300 parishioners. I'd like to know if they plan on "renting" out their spaces and what that would be for before I would even consider this a viable possibility. This land is zoned residential for a reason. Please leave it that way.

I cannot personally attend.Thank you. -Lauren Osborne 1 I was asked to contact you in reference to this possible amendment located at the property at the corner of Collier Blvd and Golden Gate Blvd. The public hearing request is in reference to the building of a church there, Grace Romanian. Project Number:PL20160002577 and PL20160002584 I'd like to submit this letter, as I cannot personally attend the hearing that is set for Tuesday, February 26th at 9am, as a petition against the building of a church. My family and I live on Weber Blvd South just about a block away from this property. Modifying the amendment to allow the building of a church at this property, which would cause a lot more vehicular traffic, is definitely not what Weber Blvd South needs. Weber Blvd S is already used as a thru street for rush hour traffic Monday through Friday from Collier Blvd morning and evening, as well as for Big Cypress Elementary School Monday through Friday when school is in session, morning and afternoon. During the peak of these times, I refuse to walk on the sidewalk with my children along Weber Blvd S because of the consistent traffic speeding highly above the posted 30mph speed limit. I'm even very nervous about checking my mailbox. The Collier County Sheriffs Office has been requested numerous times to conduct speed enforcement along the road. There is no raised curb along the road and the sidewalk is only just 1 foot away from the main road.

I have to withdraw my support for this request. It is my understanding the petitioner already owns two additional properties one at 3380 Golden Gate Blvd and one at 6445 Willow Park Dr. Naples Both more suitable than the Non conforming use and GMP amendment required for the property located at 951 and Golden Gate Blvd. Please please vote no!

We have two churches and a school on our street already. Literally HUNDREDS of parents line up on our street every weekday, so we can hardly get in and out of our homes on 1st Street. When the parents are not lined up,they are late, on their phones, and speeding up and down our street at 50 - 60 miles per hour and the Sheriffs office doesn't help. People constantly use Weber and 1st as a "cut-through" to get to GG Blvd from White. Our real estate values are going to drop really significantly --- and it's already really difficult to live on this street--- and no one helps us! Please don't add one more thing to mess with us. Thank you for listening. I wish I could be there. Carlene A.

We moved to Golden Gate Estates for the rural character of the area. Adding another church to an area that already has a park, an Elementary School and two other places of worship is just too much for the roadways. We walk our dog on 1st Ave and Weber and have almost been hit several times by speeding school parents or church members. We have complained about the speeders to the sheriff's department, but they have done nothing to alleviate the problem. We already have to deal with parent lining up on 1st between 2 and 3 pm to pick up their kids, making it a virtual parking lot. We also have to deal with cut through traffic on Weber, almost always above the 35 mph speed limit. We do not need another 300 parishioners traveling on Weber or 1st almost every day of the week. The property isn't currently zoned for a church and we strongly object to any changes to the zoning. We will not be able to make the meeting due to doctors appointments, but please take our strong feelings into consideration. Sincerely, Barry J. Kotek 1
