To Whom This May Concern:
We are residents of The Quarry at 9331 Marble Stone Drive, Naples FL.
I strongly support the pending PUD Amendment for the Heritage Bay PUD and I
appreciate the thoughtful consideration by the Planning Commission that resulted in
the 6-1 vote recommending approval.
Limestone Trail is a privately owned and maintained road. Under the PUD, a
gatehouse on the private roads is a permitted use by right without any exceptions.
Limestone Trail was never indicated on the plans as being a cut through route for the
general traveling public not for general public access.
I understand that the PUD Amendment traffic study demonstrates no adverse impact
to outside development public roads.
The ability to install gates on the privately owned and maintained Limestone Trail is
consistent with the development of The Quarry and Heritage Bay and the
approval/installation on other private roads in the two communities. The purpose of
Limestone Trail is for both The Quarry and Heritage Bay residential communities to
access the Commercial Activity Center, as intended by the development plans for the
overall Heritage Bay PUD. That purpose will not be impacted or affected by this
Amendment or installation of gates. Access through the gates will be provided to
residents of The Quarry and Heritage Bay communities.
Emergency vehicles will have access in the same manner as they do for all other
communities with gates and which is currently in place for the access gates in The
Quarry community. It is understood that The Quarry Community Association will also
allow access in times of declared emergencies for evacuation purposes.
I am concerned that without installation of the gates the quality of life in The Quarry
will be adversely affected by increased traffic on the private Limestone Trail as
development continues around the community and as the County makes
modifications to the roadway network adjacent to and along Immokalee Road.
Limestone Trail - as a private road - is not part of any County public road network.
I am concerned that without the installation of gates the traffic (including commercial
vehicles) will increase on Quarry Drive and on Limestone Trail, which is a privately
owned and maintained roadway. With the installation of the traffic signal at Quarry
Drive and Immokalee Road, Limestone Trail is anticipated to be cut through route and
will substantially increase the costs to the residents of The Quarry to maintain the
roadway and increase The Quarry's liability exposure. This could also lead to safety
issues for the residents of The Quarry.
Thank you and your consideration is greatly appreciated.
