SolisAndy; SaundersBurt; TaylorPenny FialaDonna Inbox Allura Apartment Proposal for North Naples Dear Ms Fiala: Thank you so much for your most enlightening recent commentary in the Naples Daily News regarding the purported "crisis" for affordable housing. I commend you for taking the time to investigate first hand as you did by getting out there and viewing the reality of the situation. I have written previously as an opponent to the proposed construction by Stock Development of the Allura apartments in North Naples on Veterans Memorial Blvd near Livingston Rd. Although not in the "affordable housing" category, they would be adding to the enormous overstock of rentals currently or soon to be available (over 4000, as you stated) in the greater Naples area. We do not need 304 more apartments in Naples, and more specifically, not in an area predominantly consisting of single-family homes and condominiums of no more than two floors. From a simple online search for available apartment rentals, it is more than apparent that apartments are not fulfilling the housing needs of people desiring to live in Naples. Like you, I also did a little first hand investigating and drove down to see the Inspira apartments on Rattlesnake Hammock, a complex similar to the proposed Allura also built by Stock. Although quite imposing on its own in size, it is not out of place with neighboring developments. Coming from Collier Blvd, I drove by the Sierra Grande (4 stories) and College Park (3 stories) apartment complexes as well as a CCPS bus facility shortly before arriving at Inspira. The access to Inspira is on Grand Lely Dr., a four-lane, median divided road with turn lanes, unlike Veterans Memorial's undivided two lanes which already provide access for three gated communities. My feeling is if any developer is granted permission to build housing with access to Veterans Memorial near Livingston, they should be required to widen the road to four travel lanes plus turn lanes. Finally, in light of all the litigation Stock Development is facing concerning faulty construction as revealed in today's Naples Daily News, I think the commissioners should seriously consider not granting them any kind of PUD amendments until they are able to clear up all of this and make good on all complaints against them. PLEASE DO NOT AMEND THE CURRENT PUD. VOTE AGAINST ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALLURA OR ANY OTHER LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT. Thank you again for your consideration.

Those who spoke at the hearing reiterated the more obvious objections such as congested traffic patterns, schools at capacity, wetland, green space, and bear habitat protection. The following objections got little or no attention: * The proposed apartment complex zone changes would be an example of ‘spot zoning’, which is a bad development concept. Almost every property within two miles of the proposed apartments is a single-family home or low-rise condominium. * The proposed apartment complex will have no standards or controls such as the developments near the site have that control the operation, maintenance, and behavior of the owners through the association mechanism with a board of directors. * The developer, Stock, will have no control of over what this proposed apartment complex will look like in 10 years and beyond. They will most likely sell the project to an investor who could then do anything they desired. During a downturn in the real estate rental market, the owner could forgo maintenance work, hence reducing the ‘luxury’ apartment to something much less than "luxurious." * The incompatibility of the apartment architecture, given that of the neighboring developments, is of a density that requires 3 to 4 levels. This will do doubt negatively affect property values of adjoining real estate. * Buyers looking to purchase a home in the area may be negatively influenced by an apartment complex in the middle of this area. This could negatively affect home values in a very significant way. * Zone changes or variances are generally granted due to a hardship on the part of the property owner. However, this does not seem to be the case in this instance. The land in question has been zoned for a long period of time. All the surrounding property has been developed in compliance with the current zoning. The folks who purchased in the surrounding developments did so relying on the fact that neighboring projects would be of a like kind. Changing the adjoining land to allow an apartment project is unfair to those taxpayers. I realize growth and development are inevitable in Collier County, but it should be "smart" growth and development that maintains and is compatible the appearance and quality of life for those who live in the surrounding area. Thank you for your consideration.
