Hi - my name is Larry Drappi, and I have been a Quarry resident since 2012, and Florida resident since
2017
When I bought at the Quarry nothing was ever brought to my attention about the outside road just past
our gate house becoming open to public access, and I am NOT in favor of allowing this to happen.
It is unfair for all of us who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy here, as well as almost 10,000 a
year now in property taxes, plus the large HOA fees to maintain our community.
Allowing public access will create traffic issues right outside our front gate and I foresee many accidents
as public vehicles rush to cut across to Limestone in front of our residents coming out of our front gate
Many of us, including myself use the Bike paths and adding substantial unanticipated public traffic
endangers the bikers and increases liability for the Quarry.. I am also am concerned with the
increased volume of large commercial trucks using not only Limestone Trail but also Quarry Drive.
Our costs and therefore my HOA costs will increase because of increased maintenance on this road. We
certainly will have large trucks use it as well, increasing maintenance substantially more.
From what I know, Limestone Trail, is not part of any County public road network and is our private road,
and is for both The Quarry and Heritage Bay residents to access the commercial area as intended by the
developer. Also, under the PUD, a gatehouse on the private roads is a permitted use by right without any
exceptions.
The increased traffic will also create backups for friends, family and guests trying to get into the Quarry.
Overall quality of life will be effected and I, nor did the many Quarry residents sign up for this. It will also
negatively affect our home values, and I'm sure we wont see decreased taxes when this happens.
I stand firmly with our board and Quarry residents to erect a gatehouse or any other means to stop the
public traffic in our community.
I appreciate the consideration by the Planning Commission that resulted in the 6-1 vote recommending
approval, and strongly support the pending PUD Amendment for the Heritage Bay PUD.
Thank you for your time
Larry Drappi
