Stock Development at Livingston and Veterans Road
Ms. Fiala,
I live in Barrington Cove and write regarding the planned Stock development at Livingston and Veterans Blvd. I was set to present at the December 6th planning meeting, but as you know
that meeting was cancelled. I will not be able to attend the January 17th meeting, so I present my position below.
In short, the proposed high density sub-district will negatively impact those living in the settled neighborhoods along Livingston Road. This development poses significant safety risks
for my family and my neighbors. Moreover, the additional traffic and noise the proposed development would bring, along with increased light pollution, will significantly decrease the
quality of life in our settled community. We strongly oppose this development and ask that the current Collier County commissioners retain the zoning regime that their predecessors
thoughtfully determined.
The footprint of the development is not ideal due to the fact that 6 sellers of the land each had a piece. One piece actually almost bisects the Barrington Community! (See map). This
actually destroys the integrity of our community.
Safety Concerns
Most importantly, the planned development will make living in Barrington Cove more dangerous. The nearby intersection of Livingston and Veterans Blvd. is a busy one—backups are typical
and congestion is heavy. Nevertheless, Livingston has been described by many as a 4 mile “race track”—there are only two stop lights along the road and most travel at 50 to 60 miles
per hour along the route. The proposed development—up to 400 units—will add significant vehicles to the mix and make the area significantly more dangerous.
Those leaving the development and going South on Livingston will have to cross numerous lanes of traffic and then make a left U-turn. The exit of the proposed development is almost opposite
the U turn site and impossible to access if there are cars backed up from the regular left turn lane. As I’m sure you appreciate, this is a dangerous maneuver (made more so by the
fast traffic on the roadway). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that left turns cause 50% of all auto crashes across the United States. The added traffic
leaving the development will only add to those morbid statistics.
In addition, there are three schools within 1 mile of the proposed development. The nearby intersection presents nine lanes of traffic to cross. The “pedestrian hit” risk is directly
related to the number of lanes that one has to cross, and adding hundreds of cars to an already dangerous intersection—one that children cross daily as they travel to and from school—is
a serious concern the commission should not overlook. Livingston is also heavily trafficked by bicycles. Florida is number 1 in bicycle accidents, and the risk posed to cyclists is
something else to consider.
The 59-page traffic analysis sponsored by the developer is not credible in its conclusions or its construction. It claims—unbelievably—on that there will be no new traffic issues. To
reach this favorable conclusion for the developer, the report has to rely on big leaps in logic. First, it claims on page 34 that zero U-turns will occur during peak hours. Many settled
communities on Livingston can only access the southbound lanes by making U-turns .To claim that no one in these communities will seek to travel south during peak hours defies logic.
Every commissioner should go to any intersection along Livingston to test the report’s preposterous claim.
There are other obvious errors in the report. On Table 2 and Figure 2 the report states that 83 Trip Generations will exit the development during the peak hours. Because the report fails
to identify the objective statistics that form the basis of this arbitrary number, I had to conduct some of my own research. I learned that the zoning for cars per unit in Jacksonville
is 1.75 cars per unit. (I couldn’t locate a number for Collier County.) Using that 1.75 number for the 330 to 400 units proposed for the development, means that we can expect up to
700 cars. To propose that less than 12% of vehicles in the development will leave during “peak” hours again, defies common sense and the daily experiences of those in our community.
And the intersection analysis was not even performed during “peak hours.” Rather, it was conducted after the 8:25 school-start time, when traffic has significantly decreased. See page
7 in the traffic analysis report..
Apparently to try to bolster its conclusions, the report had to go outside of Collier County and use numbers from Bonita Springs as documented on pages 34 through 37 in the traffic analysis.Three
of the report’s pages incorporate numbers from studies based in Bonita Springs. Without a credible report that provides a credible conclusion, the council should not grant an exception
to the existing zoning laws.
Increased Noise, Light Pollution, and Air Pollution from increased Traffic
The planned development will also greatly limit the Quality of Life their legal rights. There would be a significant loss for the residents along Livingston in their ability to use and
enjoy our homes and neighborhoods. There will be an onset of noise pollution from the increased number of cars, horns, and motorcycles along Livingston (not to mention their movement
in the adjoining parking lots). And additional noise from residents of the proposed development—during picnics, parties, and outside games—will be significant and will impact our residents’
enjoyment while sitting on their lanais and in their pool areas, which directly face the proposed development and will be also on two adjacent sides (see map).
At present, a large section of Barrington Cove faces woods and darkness. Those woods, and that darkness, would be completely destroyed by the development and its related 4-story buildings
overlooking our single family homes. Our homes cannot be shielded from the additional street lights and safety lights from those high buildings, even with high landscaping. There will
be a loss of the “dark skies” that is already an issue across the country with new developments. The loss of ability to observe the stars will negatively impact the children in the
surrounding neighborhood with their inability to observe and become interested in the stars. My neighbors who enjoy star gazing will be devastated. (Not to mention the loss of privacy
that will occur from balconies looking down upon our homes.)
Finally, there can be no dispute that a large, 400-unit development will bring with it many residents and many cars. As described above, the area is already a traffic nightmare. The
increased burden of driving in our community—in addition to the issues described above—outweigh the benefits of the proposed development.
If you do have any time to set aside, it would be worth the trip for you and other planners and commissioners to visit INSPIRE, the Stock development at Lely off Rattlesnake Road. The
first vision of it really sends the message that it is massive with long and high buildings with minimal landscaping barriers and with small open fences and no barrier walls. AND the
proposal at Livingston and Veterans is LARGER by 20%. Lely is 5 buildings with 303 units compared to the proposed 6 buildings with 350 units.
Accordingly, I respectfully ask that the commission abandon this ill-advised idea and preserve the status quo and the high quality of life enjoyed by those living in and around my community.
Thanks,
Tim Diegel
