Good afternoon, Commissioners:
Please accept this email as my formal opposition to the approval of agenda item 9.A. during your board
meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, 2020.
I am a resident of The Groves at Orange Blossom located directly on Oil Well Road. When we purchased in this
community, we were told by representatives from Lennar that no further building would be done other than
what is already on the plan. Those plans include the additional construction of executive-style homes
surrounding our manor homes on the same plat.
It came to our attention in October 2019, that Ronto was trying to shove through an expansion of that footprint
to now include 350 townhomes. Ronto and Lennar have already constructed an entire community of
townhomes in The Ranch at Orange Blossom - the community directly across Oil Well Road from ours. The
number of families that took residency on that side of the road grew exponentially to the point that the security
gates now on The Ranch side are no longer adequate (due to inferior systems that create traffic jams and
encourage gate crashers). Furthermore, the very small amenities provided in the Ranch (that are supposed to
accommodate not only the Ranch residents but also the 350+ single-family homes in the Groves) are entirely
too small to accommodate the influx of residents.
On our side, The Groves - the safety concerns pertaining to the entrance to our community are obviously
apparent. When approaching our entrance off Oil Well Road, we have no dedicated right turning lane. On
more occasions than I care to mention, I have had to watch by rear view mirror fervently as I turn on my
turning signal at least half a mile from the entrance to give the traffic behind me (a major artery in this portion
of the County) sufficient notice that I am slowing and practically stopping in the traffic lane to make my right
hand turn into my entrance of The Groves. I still do not understand how the traffic engineers in Collier County
did not require that a dedicated, offset right turning lane be installed when this community was being
built. Conversely, approximately half-mile prior to our entrance, there is a dedicated right turn lane that
literally goes nowhere. Apparently, this was installed in anticipation of the future construction of the
residences wrapping around ours. The lack of a traffic light at this dangerous crossover intersection is yet
another point that I will not belabor at this time as I'm sure you have heard it repeatedly.
Please - I implore you to exercise your good judgment and deny this urban sprawl at our location. Our
particular location cannot handle what is already built here much less adding another 350 townhomes to our
side (Groves) and another 200+ homes to the Ranch side. This type of bait and switch selling by Ronto/Lennar
needs to stop and it is in your authority and control to send that message with your decision.
Thank you for your time.

Good afternoon Mr. McDaniel,
I am a homeowner in The Groves at Orange Blossom and I'm writing to voice my opposition to the increase of dwelling
units from 1,600 to 1,950. The addition of these homes would far exceed the density of other communities in our area,
place a burden on the schools and the roads, that will already be impacted by the approval of Rivergrass. It will also
greatly reduce the quality of life we have in our little community. You are likely not aware but the other side of our
development, The Ranch has had so many issues with safety and trespassing. It took the news doing two stories and a
gun being pulled by a homeowner on a large group of trespassers for the developer to take our safety concerns
seriously. When we bought our home in 2017 we were assured by the builder that only like kind, single family homes
would be built. The addition of this many townhomes will not only hurt our property values but it will increase our HOA
assessments to pay for a new amenities center that is not wanted by a majority of owners.
I ask that you deny the application of The Ronto Group and not allow our area to be overbuilt by greedy developers.
Kind regards,
Natalie Rhoads

Good afternoon, Commissioner McDaniel:
Thank you very much for reaching out to me today following my presentation to the Collier County
Commissioners. Per our conversation, I am providing dates and times that I am available to have a one-
on-one meeting with you to address our homeowner concerns.
Thursday, October 15 - all day
Friday, October 16 - all day
Monday, October 19 - all day
I will not presume that you work on the weekends but, if you do, I can make myself available then as
well. My husband recently had heart surgery and, although I would truly prefer to meet with you in
person, I do not want to risk exposing him to something (even as benign as a cold would be problematic
for him). I am happy to meet with you via Zoom and/or Google Meet - or any other preferred platform. I
work in technology all day so I am flexible as to remote meeting options.
Again, I gratefully appreciate your assistance and time. I look forward to discussing these concerns with
you soon.
