Thank you. February 25, 2019 To: The Board of Commissioners of Collier County: Burt L Saunders (District 3) Vice Chairman Donna Fiala (District 1) Andy Solis Esq. (District 2) Penny Taylor (District 4) William L. McDaniel (District 5) Chairman Mike Bosi : Zoning Director RE: PUDZ-PL20170000768, Pelican Nursery Mixed-use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Dear Board of Commissioners, Recently, via petition, the residents and property owners of Tuscany Cove have brought to your attention the many concerns that our community has with the proposed PUD rezone application for commercial and residential development of the 54-56 acres located at the South East corner of Collier Blvd & Immokalee Road, the site where Pelican Nursery had been for many years. Thank you in advance for your time and serious deliberation on this matter. 1. PLEASE SAY “NO” to HIGH DENSITY, MULTI-STORY DEVELOPMENT The COMMISSIONERS SHOULD HOLD ANY CURRENTLY PLANNED and FUTURE PROPOSED PROJECT at the corner of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd to the CORRECT LIMITS, PROPER ZONING RESTRICTIONS, and UTMOST SAFETY CONCERNS. The proposed 400 multi-family residential units, a possible 100-150 room hotel, medical offices, restaurants, any other commercial entities would overwhelm and NEGATIVELY IMPACT our already heavily saturated & trafficked area. In the past few years, nine (9) residential communities and MANY commercial enterprises have been developed at the corner of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd. and environs — without the full consideration of 1) the impact of the heavily increased traffic, or 2) enough improvement to the surrounding infrastructure to accommodate such growth, or 3) the detrimental effect on our quality of life. As someone who has lived and worked in business in North Naples, Collier County throughout the 1990s and again since 2017, I am not naïve to development; however, it is somewhat surprising that Collier County government (which seemed to pride itself for decades on attracting upscale developments and businesses, taking into consideration zoning sensitivities and environmental concerns as well as financial gain) would increasingly consider real estate development plans to degrade our beautiful area into a “Miami-type” high-density SPRAWL. Wise regulation and reasonably-paced community growth will result in attracting discerning tourists, snowbirds, and full-time residents who will enjoy the higher property values (converts to higher taxes and revenues for the county) of the well-planned, upscale communities with amenities — including a decent percentage of required adjacent open space with lower building density and single-story height ordinances. This translates into long-term, positive, financial investment in our local economy. When did these sound values change? Make NOTE, the voting citizens of Naples do not want to be Miami! Developing and expanding the density of structures on the SE corner of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd. would compound the already serious traffic problem. This is UNSAFE and unacceptable to us as citizens who moved this far out east to be away from the gridlock of Tamiami Trail, and the skyscrapers and multi-story/multi-unit developments closer to the Gulf. When daily life becomes a hardship of this degree, the result is that the very people (and resulting $ dollars) that Collier County government has already attracted here may very well choose another, more desirable, safer area to live and work. BAD WORD OF MOUTH is not something we can afford. The resultant loss of LIFE, time, reputation, and money is not worth it, is it? 2. PLEASE REVIEW /IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW and SAFETY at U-turns, especially at ENTRANCE OF TUSCANY COVE and at the major intersection of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd. The recent change in allowing U-TURNS at the ENTRANCE OF TUSCANY COVE TO HEAD NORTH MAKES EXITING AND ENTERING OUR COMMUNITY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. The traffic heading north on Collier Blvd is OFTEN BACKED UP from Immokalee Road to our entrance and exit, which creates severe bottlenecks, gridlock, and increasing accidents. The reports of at least 202 ACCIDENTS — some fatal — over the last two years, at the Intersection of Collier Blvd and Immokalee Road (and the most recent tragic fatal accident of a young mother and small child), are most DISTURBING. Even in the “off” season, there have been daily serious bottlenecks as well as frequent accidents/incidents. This results in very congested and dangerous intersections, including at the ingress/egress to our small community. One of the main reasons we purchased in Tuscany Cove was because our community was not built on a corner intersection; yet, because of re-routing and dangerous U-turns, we have experienced increased vehicular traffic from the many commercial businesses and the major intersection of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd., as if we were a major intersection. This is NOT SAFE URBAN PLANNING. With the very busy Emergency Room at the NE corner, a life-death hazardous situation can occur, when ambulances and other emergency vehicles (and residents/visitors in their own vehicles who are trying to get to the hospital) have increasing difficulty getting through the gridlock! Please do not allow this slippery slope of detrimental urban planning that is NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST of our citizens, tourists, and upscale businesses who have already invested in our community. This is unbecoming to our treasured “lifestyle” that brought us here in the first place. Word of mouth travels fast, and as many of us are not originally from “around here”, it is imperative that those in power in government understand the needs of our existing citizens and protect the positive reputation of Naples. For the sake of our local community’s safety and security — as well as the future positive “lifestyle” image (and bottom line preservation) of Naples, Collier County, PLEASE REJECT granting variances on building height and density for ANY proposed structures abutting our development. The residents and owners of Tuscany Cove and adjacent existing communities hope to hear from you soon with a positive resolution to protect our interests and our lives.
