Solis - 2021 Emails1 SolisAndy From:marta meda <martameda@hotmail.com> Sent:Friday, January 29, 2021 1:34 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:One Naples at Vanderbilt EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, I've been a longtime fan of yours because of the extra measures you always take in keeping the residents in our district well-informed and up to date on county notices via newsletters and the many library coffee events that I've attended. I supported your personal crusade to expand availability of mental health care in our county by voting in favor of the self-imposed sales tax increase because you made a strong case for it. It was commendable that you single-handedly paved the way to a better functioning, more humanitarian county. I even encouraged others to support the tax and sometimes took a lot of flack from friends who didn't embrace your idea on how to fund the project, yet I defended your stance on the issue. The bottom line is that you made a good case for your cause and I supported it. I never expected the tables would eventually turn and I'd be the one now asking YOU to take a stance in supporting ME in what's truly in the best interests of my neighborhood as well as for the regular people of Collier County who visit Vanderbilt Beach. I hope that you'll be like me when I took a long hard look at the sales tax increase issue and made a sound, responsible, ethical, unbiased, best-for-the-greater-good decision in supporting your cause. We need the Andy Solis who was looking out for the vulnerable people back then to be the SAME stand up guy to support the little people once more by reigning in Stock's oversized development project proposal. I'm not a fool to think that a builder who has probably generously supported your election campaign and who would make a good business associate when you leave office won't carry more weight when his experts' data and opinions are pitted against ours because I witness similar scenarios everywhere, but do not discount the fact that the Collier County Planning Board COULD 2 NOT in good conscience, in good faith, give their approval of recommending Stock's project proposal and zoning change request to you commissioners. This should speak VOLUMES to you and the clear message is: "Wrong project for the wrong parcel of land." There are no 'do-overs' when it comes to what's at stake near the main entrance onto Vanderbilt Beach. Your decision will forever impact this unique parcel of land and its' surrounding neighborhood. This point cannot be overstated. Stock wanting to over-build and over-populate a CRITICAL location leading up to the main entrance of our beach is entirely about profits over people in trying to maximize the profit margin for their investors at the cost of sticking our neighborhood with something that is entirely inappropriate for the locale and unwanted. Brian Stock made a substantial financial investment in this parcel of land knowing full well that the property wasn't zoned for what he wanted to build. Who does that? He also continues to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars advertising One Naples as a 172 unit complex in magazines as if it's a done deal. What does that imply? His actions seem so dismissive that it's as if he thinks that you county commissioners are going to give him your blessings as he bulldozes right over the existing zoning that was put in place decades ago to protect and prevent this very thing from happening. We have legitimate expert studies which substantiate that this development should NOT be approved in its' current design and for once in the 25 years that I've lived in this town, I'd like to see our county commissioners rule in favor of what's actually in the best interests of a neighborhood and our county residents instead of what's best for a local builder's profit margin. Please do not force this project on our neighborhood. 3 Thank you for your time and consideration.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I am writing you today to express my opposition to the Stock Development One Naples as it is currently proposed. I was encouraged by the action of the Planning Commission and their inability to recommend approval not only of the current Stock plan, but of a watered-down version that reduced the outrageous tower heights by almost 25%, and extremely diminished setbacks. They did their job, protecting the community. Now it’s your turn. Planning Commissioner Frye said it best when he asked the other Commissioners how they could ignore the outpouring of sentiment from the community. These are your constituents, your voters. Isn’t it your responsibility to listen to those who will live with this atrocity for decades to come and to vehemently deny the developer the right to build it? If hundreds of emails exhorting you to deny the project are not enough, if more than eighty people who signed up to speak against the project at the Planning Commission are not enough, if the 1,100 members of Save Vanderbilt Beach, forty percent of whom have contributed more than $100,000 to engage experts and fight the development are not enough, what exactly will be enough to persuade you to do the right thing? Please, when it comes before you, vote to deny the project as it is currently proposed. If you do approve something for the site, and remember we are not opposed to reasonable development, please approve the project with the conditions that your own Planning Staff proposed. They are reasonable and result in a project that is compatible with and complementary to the neighborhood. In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully, __________________________ ---------------------- 5 SolisAndy From:The SWFL 100 <editor@email.theswfl100.com> Sent:Wednesday, January 27, 2021 8:03 AM To:SolisAndy Subject:Boost Well-Being, Stay Voter-Ready and Discover Naples' Booming Housing Market EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Detert, 76, tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month. SARASOTA COUNTY – Sarasota County Commissioner Nancy Detert said Tuesday that she tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month. 11 Detert, who had missed two public meetings in January, described her symptoms as mild and said she felt compelled to come forward about her diagnosis because she wanted to share her experience. She also wanted to encourage others who may experience similar symptoms to get tested. “It was a rather startling experience for me,” Detert told fellow commissioners. More:How to get a COVID-19 vaccine in Sarasota-Bradenton-Venice-Lakewood Ranch She said she suffered from extreme exhaustion. Detert initially thought she had a cold. She canceled her son’s birthday party and was l ater encouraged by family to get tested. She quarantined for 14 days after testing positive at the state-supported COVID drive-thru testing facility on the former site of the Sarasota Kennel Club on 5400 Bradenton Road. Detert said she had never been tested before and described her experience as quick and painless. More:Sarasota County gets 7,300 more doses of COVID-19 vaccine, second doses to be scheduled “I am just suggesting that everyone, even if you have mild symptoms, still be tested,” Detert said. “It’s fast and easy and I think you would be very impressed with the great job the county’s doing and all the people who worked up there.” Detert is the third elected official in Sarasota County to announce that they have tested positive for COVID-19. Sarasota City Commissioner Kyle Battie was sworn into office virtually while under quarantine for a positive test. Venice City Council member Halen Moore tested positive earlier this month. Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler and his wife, Bridget, a School Board member, self- quarantined in June after someone close to them tested positive. On Tuesday, Detert had a message to the public: “Wear your mask, keep social distancing and be grateful we have a vaccine and it will get here eventually,” she said. Detert also pointed to a number of emails from angry residents who expressed frustrations about about the rollout of the vaccine. More:54,725 have received the COVID-19 vaccine in Sarasota-Manatee. Only 812 of them are Black. “Certainly I am the target demographic, but I am in line like everyone else,” said Detert, who turned 76 in October. “Nobody up here is jumping in line.” Three of Sarasota County’s five commissioners are 65 or older — the age group that can currently receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida. Commission Chairman Alan Maio stressed that none of those commissioners or their families have gotten the vaccine. “We have been getting some pretty nasty emails saying ‘I’m sure you and your wife have jumped the line,’” Maio said. “It’s just not the case, and it’s just not helpful.” Sincerely, Ralf Brookes Ralf Brookes Attorney www.RalfBrookesAttorney.com 12 Ralf Brookes Attorney 1217 East Cape Coral Parkway #107 Cape Coral Florida 33904 Phone (239) 910-5464 Fax (866) 341-6086 Ralf@RalfBrookesAttorney.com Board Certified in City, County and Local Government Law by The Florida Bar 13 SolisAndy From:epircio@verizon.net Sent:Tuesday, January 26, 2021 5:46 PM To:SolisAndy; SaundersBurt; McDanielBill Subject:One Naples Hearing EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Gentlemen: I have been notified that the three of you are reluctant to move the One Naples Hearing to Artis even though Save Vanderbilt Beach has received a donation to pay for one half of the $8,000 that they would be charging for the use of their facility. We would be able to pay for all of the expense but believe that Stock Dev. should pay the other half. As you are well aware, the facility has the equipment and room to conduct a meeting with sufficient social distancing. There is no good reason for you not to commit to this change other than you want to stifle the outcry of the residents of Collier County. Commissioner Solis, are you that afraid to hear what your constituents have to say? All of us have done our homework on this submission and all of us speak with intelligence and knowledge. Why aren't you interested in what we have to say? You are supposed to represent us! Is it your role to silence the will of the people? One might think it is. Commissioner Solis do you want this to be your legacy? The United States of America is a Republic which was set up to allow the people to speak to their governing authorities. We are in the middle of a pandemic and in Florida, some people are not surviving. There are almost 10,000 people coming down with Covid-19 every day in Florida. On Jan. 6 there were almost 20,000 people in Florida afflicted with Covid-19. We are asking you to allow the residents to participate in a forum where we can safely give our thoughts on One Naples but a forum where we can observe and listen to others as well as the Commissioners. That you would deny us this Constitutional Right is dismaying and I would urge the three of you to reconsider your roles in the governing of this fine County paying heed to the current pandemic that is putting your citizens at risk. Please reconsider your stance on this very important Hearing and allow the residents to speak safely in a forum that is available on March 1, 2021.

Everyone I speak with is really upset about the development. Even a 5+1 story "mid rise" building with whatever they've added to the top would look awful and be very hazardous so close to the super busy narrow sidewalk where one has to move quickly to avoid being hit from behind by bicycles, baby carriages, etc..not to mention the landscaping between the building and sidewalk eliminating the area you run to in order to avoid colliding with whatever is behind you. Plus it looks AWFUL so close to the sidewalk. I can't imagine why anyone would approve anything so close to the sidewalk vs maintaining the current codes. It looks like just what it is..5 huge buildings that don't fit into the plot of land they're in..so the developer can make as much money as the commissioners will allow. We saw a letter about the huge amount of money they allegedly tried to bribe an existing condo community with to agree to the development, so I wouldn't put anything past them. You have been my favorite commissioner so far so I hope you will help us not allow that development to break all of the existing codes and establish a new code to make existing residents move. Already the beach area has been greatly reduced by giving it to the buildings on either side of Vanderbilt Beach. Thank you for any help you can give us. Also thank you for all of your vaccine availability updates. Very much appreciated.

It seems clear in the magazine that this project is in the planning stages (you can see that on pages 28 - 31 HERE if you haven’t). The language is “as proposed” and “Stock envisions,” etc. I believe that the proposal has continued to evolve, and currently includes three 5-story midrises over one story of parking, along with two high-rise towers of 12 stories over 2 stories of parking. Commissioners making promises in advance would be a significant ethical breach. In addition, since Stock Development began assembling these parcels, every seat on the county commission has been up for re-election at least once. 16 At the Planning Commission hearing, the developer's representatives indicated that the property was purchased without contingencies about the re-zoning because the developer was confident they could be profitable developing to the full extent of the current commercial zoning as well, that the value was in compiling all the disparate parcels under one ownership. No approvals are required for the commercial development. I hope that addresses your questions. If we can provide any additional information, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Dear Andy, I’m very concerned as to why Stock was so comfortable advertising their One Naples Development in their InStock magazine today. They describe their 5 story midrises. Is that 5 (11’) stories residential OVER 2 additional parking stories (7 tall stories total?) right off the Vanderbilt Beach road sidewalk? Are they comfortable openly advertising and selling the units now because they already received verbal “approval” from the commissioners possibly prior to purchasing the land, which is the rumor I heard at the meeting last March? People question why they purchased the land without a contingency that they could pull out if their huge changes weren’t approved by the commissioners. Extremely concerning, to say the least....

The most prominent areas on each of the (2) west corners at the intersection of Bluegill/ 111th Avenue N. and Vanderbilt Drive have yet to be finished. 2. I live on 98th Avenue N.

EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, Your important newsletters have helped us get our first COVID vaccine injection and we are scheduled for the second shot. Your newsletter has been invaluable for us getting this set up. We live on Gulf Shore Drive very near the proposed One Naples Project. It is the wrong project for the wrong location. Please consider the county buying the property from Mr. Stock and converting it into a nice park similar to Connor Park on Bluebill Avenue. That would be a welcome addition to our community many of whom are distraught at the idea of this incompatible proposal. Below are important reasons NOT to approve this massive project: 1.Too much congestion already - 2 parking garages with all those people - Ritz Carlton employees, hundreds of people trying to get to Vanderbilt Beach. 2. At least 2 years of construction if One Naples is approved according to them. 3. Gulf Shore Court and South Bay Street are overflow safety valves when Vanderbilt Beach road is gridlocked usually from traffic trying to get into the public parking garage and traffic is stopped both directions. 4. Our community's quality of life will be reduced if One Naples Project is approved. 5. People already get irritable and impatient on Vanderbilt Beach Road because of the overload of cars, pedestrians, bikers, cars trying to park, etc. including baby carriages, bikers pulling carts with small children inside. 6. Because of over congestion, I notice cars honking at each other when I ride my bike through the area. The tension is palpable! 7. The proposed One Naples project has already induced a lot 23 of anxiety and dread in our community and it is not even a reality yet. I hope and pray that it does not become a reality! 8. The developer makes money and the county makes money with the increased tax base. The community of neighbors all lose quality of life. 9. We prefer our beautiful, tranquil lagoon rather than a huge number of boat docks and marina. 10. For every one of us in vocal opposition to this proposed project, there are at least 20 people who quietly also oppose the project!! PLEASE do NOT approve the One Naples project!!

Many Florida Residents are still having a great deal of trouble getting vaccinated we hear from friends but no those who fly in and go to specialty locations As important is One Naples. We see that they are now offering promises to contribute money for community improvement. That is fine, but the funds must be used for the entire community and with all you do that means little for those most impacted by the huge development. Instead of being reasonable, they just throw money at the Commissioners. Sounds a lot like Washington which is a mess and has been for years. Please do not let our fine community go down the drain. Modify as the opposition suggests rather then throw money around. Thank you. W.

From: Full Name Kenneth Davis Email: kbdavis@wisc.edu Type a question ONE NAPLES GMP and PUD Rezone Dear Commissioner Solis, I am writing you today to express my opposition to the One Naples application as it is currently proposed. Before telling you my reasons, however, I do want to express my thanks to you for your willingness to thoroughly hear the comments of both sides of the debate. My hope is for your thoughtful consideration of all the concerned constituents in your district. I am opposed because, as has been so well documented, the plan is neither complimentary to nor compatible with the neighborhood. These shortcomings center primarily on height, mass, setbacks, and open space. As designed, One Naples promotes a Miami-like, canyon-like feeling that is the total opposite of the neighborhoods’ desires. The developer’s belief that by providing rooftop amenities such as cabanas and swimming pool is satisfying open space requirements, is totally absurd. Open space is to be enjoyed by all the people, not just the select few who can afford such an expensive “first class” residence. I am equally put off by the developer’s endless threat of a commercial development replacing his outrageous towers. Frankly, a commercial development constricted by the C-3 zoning requirements offers all the neighborhood’s residents an acceptable walkable/bikeable amenity 31 as opposed to a development that benefits only the developer and his 172 customers. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Kenneth B Davis Jr 32 SolisAndy From:OchsLeo Sent:Thursday, January 21, 2021 9:47 AM To:DLCOMM; CapizziAixa; FilsonSue; GoodnerAngela; GrecoSherry; LykinsDave Cc:RodriguezDan; CohenThaddeus Subject:FW: Updated hearing projections Attachments:1-20-21 - Public Hearing Projections (Sent to CMO).xlsx Good Morning Commissioners, Please find attached a summary of the current schedule of BCC public hearings through May of this year.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners: This is another piece of information from the Planning Commission Hearing for One Naples. This attachment is from the transcript of the Planning Commission meeting of October 15, 2020. I can send you the whole transcript if you would like. These 2 pages concern testimony from James Sabo, the Chief Planner and Chairman Fryer. I participated in many meetings with the Planning Staff over One Naples. James Sabo worked with the neighbors as well as others in the Planning Department to try to come up with a solution that would benefit the neighborhood as well as the developer, except the developer would not cooperate. James is stating that the development is too dense and does not meet the Zoning Code by asking for twice the density.He goes on to say that he would agree to a height of 125 feet for the towers if the developer would agree to 25 feet for setbacks. James would also allow just 15 feet for setbacks at the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive if the developer would put in some small commercial stores that would benefit the residents. He was talking about a deli, a small restaurant, retail shops and the like. He was not talking about a bar such as the Beach Box which has created problems. The step back architecture he refers to is like a wedding cake design with tiers that come gradually to a point, not the mass of concrete that they show in their towers. James wants the building masses to fit in with the neighborhood and not overwhelm everything. This dialogue was very important because it showed that the Planning Department was trying to work with the developer in finding a solution. Later James told me that he had sat down with Anita Jenkins, Thaddeus Cohen and other department heads to try to encourage this development to work with and be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. This idea that he spoke about was the culmination of these discussions. These ideas would be something that Save Vanderbilt Beach would endorse as well. However, the attorney for Stock, Mr Yovanovich took exception to Chairman Fryer and asked him to remove himself from the Hearing which he did. This was done because the Chairman had prepared a diagram of the setbacks on Gulf Shore Drive and had passed them out to the others, thus, according to Mr. Yovanovich, making himself a witness. While this might have made Mr Yovanovich look good to his client, it did not endear him to anyone else. That this bully succeeded was distressful. Without this action, we may have come to a real solution to this problem. Again, thank you for the opportunity to present this information. 34 Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth (Betty) Pircio Barefoot Pelican Condominium 271 Southbay Drive Naples, FL 781-690-0486 epircio@verizon.net -----Original Message----- From: epircio@verizon.net To: epircio@verizon.net Sent: Wed, Dec 30, 2020 5:12 pm Subject: One Naples THREE epircio@verizon.net 35 SolisAndy From:Pat McCaffery Sr <pmmccaff@comcast.net> Sent:Thursday, January 14, 2021 10:15 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:Vote 'NO' on One Naples EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Dear Commissioner Solis: I am writing you today to express my opposition to the Stock Development One Naples as it is currently proposed. I was encouraged by the action of the Planning Commission and their inability to recommend approval not only of the current Stock plan, but of a watered-down version that reduced the outrageous tower heights by almost 25%, and extremely diminished setbacks. They did their job, protecting the community. Now it’s your turn. Planning Commissioner Frye said it best when he asked the other Commissioners how they could ignore the outpouring of sentiment from the community. These are your constituents, your voters. Isn’t it your responsibility to listen to those who will live with this atrocity for decades to come and to vehemently deny the developer the right to build it? If hundreds of emails exhorting you to deny the project are not enough, if more than eighty people who signed up to speak against the project at the Planning Commission are not enough, if the 1,100 members of Save Vanderbilt Beach, forty percent of whom have contributed more than $100,000 to engage experts and fight the development are not enough, what exactly will be enough to persuade you to do the right thing? Please, when it comes before you, vote to deny the project as it is currently proposed. If you do approve something for the site, and remember we are not opposed to reasonable development, please approve the project with the conditions that your own Planning Staff proposed. They are reasonable and result in a project that is compatible with and complementary to the neighborhood. In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully, Patrick McCaffery sr __________________________ ---------------------- 37 SolisAndy From:Katherine Tardio <katietar@mac.com> Sent:Thursday, January 14, 2021 12:11 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:Vote 'NO' on One Naples EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Dear Commissioner Andy Solis; Andy, you do a fantastic job for us as a Commissioner. We appreciate you and your commitment to excellence!! Thank you for the work you have done in the past for our community. We know you have a very challenging job and have encountered many difficult resolutions. The proposed One Naples project is a potential disaster waiting to happen. Your conclusion regarding One Naples should be straight forward considering all the facts including precedents, strict enforcement of well thought out building codes, plus protecting the environment, quality of life for your constituents and the citizens in the surrounding developments. The latest rumor is a payoff by Stock of $300,000 to $400,000 to one of the neighboring developments if they agree to support the One Naples project. In my business career we commonly referred to such action as pure BRIBERY and such offers may be extended to other groups. Some have inferred it may even be offered to County Officials. What has this community come to in this crazy political environment? We know we can trust the County Commissioners and implore you to use proper judgement in this proposal. We are opposed to Stock Development’s One Naples high-rise project because it fundamentally disregards the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Land Development Code which residents and neighborhoods rely on to protect our environment, quality of life and home investment.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: First, thank you for the time and expertise you bring to Collier County. Much appreciated here. I am a fifteen year resident of Pelican Bay, the last three years in Bay Colony. I spend 7-8 months a year here. It is my home and the place I love. When I decided to make South Florida my home I strongly considered the east coast as well as Southwest Florida. Having lived for years in Manhattan, I was eager to go in a different direction than the concrete jungle that is Manhattan, and which I found on the east coast. I selected Naples specifically as the anti-congestion, charming alternative to what I left. Now I am afraid....afraid that the character of Naples will change. The One Naples proposal is an egregious example of what will happen if you allow this development to take place. It will bring all manner of bad things to a heretofore quiet area. It will be a Manhattan-ization blight on Naples/Collier County, a blight that will drive attactive prospective residents elsewhere. Collier County would never recover from building this development. It doesn’t have to be this way. I lived and worked in the Boston area even longer than I lived in Manhattan. The Boston Redevelopment Authority could have destroyed the character of Boston, especially with ill-conceived development of the Seaport District. Instead, the BRA took a thoughtful approach to the long-term vision of Boston and has spearheaded a magnificent, open development to a treasured area. You can do the same. Please, PLEASE do not allow this development, a development that would destroy the Naples I love. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, Kenton J.

The increased numbers of people and increased traffic will make an already crowded situation worse. Stock Development will try every ploy to get neighbors to agree to drop opposition to the project. Stock's vision of that area is not the vision shared by area residents. The company is only interested in selling condos and making money.

You cannot get down Vanderbilt Beach Road off 41 without a 15 minuet drive right now and with 300,000 more residents it will be impossible. Please remember that Pelican Bay will put up Gates to prevent people from traveling through PB who are not residents of PB, then what will happen to the overrun of traffic? Please think about us who are born and raised in Naples and have watched out town turn into a Miami. So very Sad! Don’t let Stock development ruin the last of North Naples.

When you drive through the Vanderbilt neighborhood it is hard to think that a development the size of the one that Stock has proposed fits in to our community in any way. Unfortunately, in this day and age money seems to carry more weight then the desires of the people who live in the community. Commissioners are elected to represent the majority of the people. It’s very clear that the majority of the people do not want a development of this size or without the proper required setbacks. Please listen to the people who live in the neighborhood and will still be here long after Stock has gone. We are a West Coast gulf city with charm and character and have no desire to be a high rise community full of concrete. Please represent us appropriately and listen to our concerns and wishes.

Commissioner Solis, I appreciate your update newsletters to keep residents updated on Collier County news and services. As a result of last week’s newsletter alerting us of the vaccine database, my wife and I were able to obtain the vaccine on Monday. Thank you for keeping us informed. The process for administering the vaccine was well organized, staff was courteous , and the entire process ran smoothly. Conducting it through appointments was a huge improvement over the Lee County rollout. On another note, please let me express my disagreement with Stock Development’s One Naples project. We reside in Regatta which will be greatly impacted by the proposed development. The project is too dense, violates every existing setback guideline of current zoning. The traffic will be greatly impacted, with no solution in sight. If the project is approved it will ultimately prove to greatly impair the quality of life for surrounding neighbors. In addition an already busy beach will have 200-400 more users from the immediate neighborhood. After the project is built, and proving to be problematic- there will be no solutions. Which roads will be widened? The lack of setbacks changes the Vanderbilt/ Gulfshore neighborhood’s feel to one which more closely approximates a city neighborhood. That is not what we and hundreds of other current owners envisioned when we invested here over the past 20 years. Please vote against One Naples in its proposed design. We hear Stock is proposing to reduce towers by 2 floors. That does not really impact the project density from the sidewalk or neighborhood perspective. I support the staff recommendations for One Naples to conform to existing setback requirements.

Dear Commissioners: These next two pages are the most important because they show the inconsistencies and lack of compatibility of the One Naples development to the neighborhood. As said before,the project must be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood in order to receive a Zoning change, otherwise, the County will be enriching the developer at the expense of the neighbors. Diagram 1 - Prepared by Greg Stuart a City Planner retained by the Regatta Condominium Complex on Vanderbilt Beach Road. He has listed what the current C-3 Zoning will allow on the parcels, versus what Stock wants to be allowed. Please keep in mind that Stock Development bought all these parcels knowing that the Zoning would not allow what he wanted to build. He bought the parcels and did not make their purchase contingent on his receiving the approvals necessary. it. We are all business people in some way whether we run the County, our households, or work outside. Well, I am a practicing CPA in Mass. and I don't have to tell you, that it is a poor business practice to purchase something for 25,000,000 and not be sure that what you want to build is going to be allowed! Should Collier County be in the business of a bail out of a bad business decision? I hope not! a. Units allowed are a total of 87 ---------------------------------------------------------units wanted -172 b. Height allowed is 100 feet---------------------------------------------------------------height wanted - 208 feet for towers, 87 for the mid-rises c. Setbacks allowed are 25 feet----------------------------------------------------------setbacks wanted are 15 feet for the towers, and one mid-rise, and 10 feet for the other mid-rises. Diagram 2 Prepared by Greg Stuart shows in green the setbacks on Gulf Shore Dr. As you can see, most of the condos have a setback from the road of at least 25 feet except for the Lighthouse, which is 2 stories and setback 17 feet from the road. The average setbacks on Gulf Shore Drive are 49 feet. The setbacks allow the residents to see down the street from their lanais. It offers landscaping and open space for the enjoyment of their residents. One Naples concrete towers will be set 15 feet from the road and even the parking garage will tower 35+ feet over the people and autos. This will create a cavern effect, create shadows instead of sunshine and will increase the wind velocity for the pedestrians. The impact of these towering structures will effect the neighbors, the pedestrians, and the autos. All to enrich the coffers of Stock Development. To my mind the most important deviation from the Zoning Laws is the Setback requirements. Increasing the setbacks to that which is allowed, (25 feet) will cure many of the other problems. If the setbacks are increased, the density will also increase. One Naples setbacks effect the neighborhood greater than any other deviation, in my opinion. 66 I hope you find this information pertinent. I know it is not easy reading and it has also taken me a long time to gather it in a manner that will make a bit easier to assimilate. By the way, all of the information I am sending you is part of the public record. And, in case Stock objects, it is also being forwarded to James Sabo the Chief Planner for the County on this project as part of the public record.

Dear Commissioner Solis: I am writing you today to express my opposition to the Stock Development One Naples as it is currently proposed. I was encouraged by the action of the Planning Commission and their inability to recommend approval not only of the current Stock plan, but of a watered-down version that reduced the outrageous tower heights by almost 25%, and extremely diminished setbacks. They did their job, protecting the community. Now it’s your turn. Planning Commissioner Frye said it best when he asked the other Commissioners how they could ignore the outpouring of sentiment from the community. These are your constituents, your voters. Isn’t it your responsibility to listen to those who will live with this atrocity for decades to come and to vehemently deny the developer the right to build it? If hundreds of emails exhorting you to deny the project are not enough, if more than eighty people who signed up to speak against the project at the Planning Commission are not enough, if the 1,100 members of Save Vanderbilt Beach, forty percent of whom have contributed more than $100,000 to engage experts and fight the development are not enough, what exactly will be enough to persuade you to do the right thing? Please, when it comes before you, vote to deny the project as it is currently proposed. If you do approve something for the site, and remember we are not opposed to reasonable development, please approve the project with the conditions that your own Planning Staff proposed. They are reasonable and result in a project that is compatible with and complementary to the neighborhood. While I agree with what is a form lette r, I must add my own comments. While I understand that the count would like the additional tax money generated by this development we cannot allow this to be the driving force behind any decision. To those of us living in the Vanderbilt Beach corridor and using/enjoying our beach, we must express how appalled are to have this huge development built at the end of our street. The numbers of residents alone in this confined space is unbelievable and will be unbearable. It will change the entire area and not for the better. While development is inevitable, the size of the project must fit with the neighborhood. We do not, nor should we concrete over all of Collier County. Think of storm surge! Where is all of the water to go. When Wilma came ashore in 2005 the corner of Vanderbilt and 41 was covered in sand. At that time we had land – not concrete to drain some of the water. What happens if this abomination is allowed to be constructed? We moved to Naples, not concrete land! In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully, Katheen Adams 3152 Andorra Ct.

The One Naples Mid-rise building next to Barefoot Pelican will be 37 feet back from the property line for their side yard setback. However, One Naples front yard setback will only be 10 feet back from their property line and will be 87 feet tall. Barefoot Pelican has a regulatory 28 foot front yard setback and is a regulatory 48 feet tall. What this means, is that residents of Barefoot Pelican will be looking a t 19 feet of concrete when they try to look up Southbay Dr. from their walkways. So when we are on the walkways reading and socializing, we sill be in the shadows of One Naples mid-rise and will be unable to even look up the street. This is what happens when developers try to circumvent the Zoning Laws when they come in to an existing neighborhood that has complied with the Zoning. The Zoning Laws should remain the same in these neighborhoods lest developers become unjustly enriched at the expense of the current neighbors of which I am one.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I have been an owner of a condominium at the Regatta at Vanderbilt Beach since 2004. I purchased in the Regatta because I loved the location and the low key neighborhood. The area was not over developed with high rises and had a really local, non-touristy feel to it. The beach was pristine and sparsely occupied even in February and March. But if you have been to Vanderbilt Beach at any time in the last couple of years then you know that (due to the public parking garage) it is completely overcrowded every single day of the week, even in the off season. It is often difficult to find a spot where others are not right on top of you. People are sitting so close to each other that you might as well be vacationing together. Frankly, with the current state of the beach, I am truly surprised that Stock wants to build this many high end condos overlooking a beach so crowded that million dollar buyers would probably not even want to go there themselves, much less take their guests there. Nevertheless, they are moving forward. This project is so disproportionate to the surrounding area. It is in no way comparable to the Pelican Bay planned development and should not be considered in that light. The negative and lasting impact on the area would be irrecoverable. The precedent this would set for all of Vanderbilt Beach (and for Collier County) would be horrendous. What would stop developers from over building on the rest of Vanderbilt Beach if this development is approved. The snowball effect could not be stopped. There is a reason the County has development standards in place — to promote reasonable development that is compatible with its surroundings. If the county code and standards are to be ignored, then why do they exist? Certainly, as an owner in the Vanderbilt neighborhood, I never thought a development of such disproportionate scale and magnitude could come to us. That's one reason I chose this neighborhood. Please protect the integrity of Vanderbilt Beach and don't allow this project to open the flood gates of over development in this area. In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully, Anne E. Eckhart, Esq. __________________________ ---------------------- 78 SolisAndy From:Anita Cariati <info@savevanderbiltbeach.com> Sent:Tuesday, January 5, 2021 8:13 AM To:SolisAndy Subject:Vanderbilt neighborhood EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

The Honorable Commissioner Andy Solis The following outlines a quandary facing the Vanderbilt Beach One Naples development and a possible win-win for your consideration: As an owner of a condominium in Vanderbilt Palms (VP) one of the most affected by the proposed redevelopment, we have a strong vested interest in how the area evolves. I, as well as other owners, are concerned about being caverned in and "buried" in the shadowed corner of the development as now proposed. At the same time, Stock Development is concerned about losing square footage of inhabitable space - and the County requires additional green space in the overall development. I respectfully offer what might be a win-win with regard to Stock losing building height, the overall lack of green space and the caverning effect on Barefoot Pelican and VP and request that your office consider interceding per the following: At the NE corner of the development are located Vanderbilt Palms and Barefoot Pelican. In the proposed plan is a small open space of 27.5 ft of required separation between One Naples Bldg 4 and Barefoot Pelican Bldg 1. Then begins new One Naples Bldg 4 with an 87 ft vertical wall where historically, a two-story building once sat for decades that also aligned with Code required street setbacks. I respectfully suggest that One Naples expand that green space from the required 27.5 ft to 50 ft., the size of a small residential lot. This allows BP and VP a bit more open air and breathing room as well as works to satisfy the development's lack of required green space. I as well as other owners would then support One Naples building higher, adding one or more stories of bayfront condos at their Bldg's 3 and 4 along the bay to help make up for loss of height at their towers. County planners had suggested a "wedding cake" design to create a modicum of openness. I believe the only option now being considered is the 87 ft of One Naples' vertical walls on one side closing in on Barefoot Pelican, and a cantilevered design on the other further encroaching on Vanderbilt Palms. This suggestion allows Vanderbilt Palms at least a modicum of the enjoyment of decades of wide open views of blue skies and the bay - key assets that heavily affect our property values. I note that historically, the maximum heights of buildings along the bay were two stories and there was always a full bay view from the Vanderbi lt Palms rooftop pool that will all be blocked by One Naples concrete walls. An expansion to 50 ft at least allows Vanderbilt Palms some open air, 82 sky views and less caverning. Barefoot would enjoy some separation from an abrupt tall and wide flat concrete wall. I would thus support One Naples building higher along the bay - both to compensate for loss of height at the towers and the bay and to create and maintain harmony with their permanent future neighbors.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Collier County Commissioners: Mr. Andy Solis, Esq. Ms. Penny Taylor Mr. William L. McDaniel, Jr. Mr. Burt L. Saunders Mr. Rick LoCastro It is my understanding that one of the condo associations most affected by the One Naples project has received a tentative proposal from Stock Development offering several monetary "incentives" to the condo association if they agree to drop their opposition to the One Naples project. They must also agree to speak publicly in favor of One Naples, and write a supporting letter to the Board of Collier County Commissioners on Stock's behalf. The package is very significant, estimated to be between $300,000 - $400,000. If this is true, it poses a significant conflict of interest because the motivation of such a condo association would not necessarily be what is in the best interest of the community, but rather what is in the best financial interest of the association. Therefore, I urge you to require that anyone testifying in writing or in person at the One Naples March Board of County Commissioners meeting disclose whether they, or the community association in which they live, have received any compensation from Stock Development, its affiliates or representatives and if so, the amount of such compensation. While such association has a right to voice its opinion on the project, such disclosure would allow you the full transparency to a significant motivating factor for their testimony.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. January 3, 2021 Dear Commissioners: Thank you for the opportunity to forward information to you regarding the One Naples Submission. This submission has resulted in towers of paperwork and it has taken me some time to sift through it all and cull out the important information for you. Formerly, I was on the Planning Board of my town in Mass which was located 10 miles from Boston at the intersection of 3 major highways. Because the town was so well run, we even had our own electric company, a great school system, etc.; many developers tried to come in and maximize their buildings on scarce parcels of land. So I quickly became used to their efforts to build as big, as high, and as dense as they wanted to maximize their profits. Collier County is becoming similar to my former town, especially near the Gulf. Many want to live in Naples and real estate seemingly can sell itself. But Collier County has to use their discretion in what they allow to come in lest the overgrowth results in an unlivable crowded area of future blight. Collier County has a Master Plan which they call the Growth Management Plan. This Plan sets out all the zoning districts and what is allowed in each one. If a developer wants to build something that is not allowed in a particular zoning district, the County allows the developer to come before them and ask for a change in the Zoning. This is supposed to be an "exception" and not the normal course of events - for otherwise -why have a master plan at all? That is why a "super-majority vote" of the Commissioners is required to change a Zoning District and Amend the Growth Management Plan. There are certain guidelines that the developer must prove his project adheres to. His project must be compatible and consistent with the neighborhood. That means, the project must "fit" into the zoning that is currently in place. That is why you will not get a gas station next to a high rise tower, or an industrial building next to a residential subdivision. The surrounding neighbors who followed the Zoning Laws, cannot suffer because an owner wants to come into the neighborhood and build what he wants, regardless of the Zoning in place or what is already there. This would result in a developer being enriched at the expense of his neighbors, and that would be against the law. It would also be contrary to the Master Plan. This is the argument that is being made against Stock Development. They have bought parcels of land totaling less than 5 acres and want special treatment by the Commissioners to allow them to change the Zoning of these parcels in order to maximize their investment at the expense of the neighbors. The attached pictures illustrate their impact on the neighborhood. 1. Save Vanderbilt Beach (SVB) diagram of the two towers to scale showing the 35+foot parking garage set 15 feet in from their property line. This garage is 700 feet long and 87 will encompass the whole corner. See the scale to the people and the autos. The walls are so tall, the palm trees will not hide it. 2. Scale of the buildings from the parking lot of Daruma Restaurant creating a huge shadow along with winds over the restaurant-again look at scale to people and autos 3. Again from SVB - even the mid rise buildings will dwarf Barefoot Pelican Condominium (where I own a condo). 4. Again from SVB- Because of the lack of setbacks, we at Barefoot Pelican will not be able to see up Southbay Dr. because their mid-rise will have 10 foot setbacks and we complied with Zoning and have a 28 foot setback. Commissioners, this is the first of the packets of information I will be sending you. I am available should you have any questions or comments as we go along in this process. I have been involved in this project since 2017 when it was first proposed. The developer has constantly discounted the concerns of the neighbors which has resulted in a large group of unhappy and angry residents who have become fairly knowledgeable about this. For this reason, I would urge you to again vote to reconsider and change the Hearing venue to one that will allow all the concerned residents the ability to speak, as well as more importantly, the ability to listen to what others, including yourselves, have to say.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. TO: Collier County Commissioners: Mr. Andy Solis Ms. Penny Taylor Mr. William L. McDaniel, Jr. Mr. Burt L. Saunders Mr. Rick LoCastro It is our understanding that one of the condominium associations most affected by the One Naples project has received a tentative proposal from Stock Development offering several monetary "incentives" to the condo association if they agree to drop their opposition to the One Naples project. They must also agree to speak publicly in favor of the One Naples Project, and write a supporting letter to the Board of Collier County Commissioners on Stock's behalf?? The package is very significant, estimated to be between $300,000 - $400,000. We hope that this is not factual but if it is true, it poses a significant conflict of interest because the motivation of such a condo association would not necessarily be what is in the best interest of the community, but rather what is in the best financial interest of the association. Therefore, we urge you to require that anyone testifying in writing or in person at the One Naples March Board of County Commissioners meeting disclose whether they, or the community association in which they live, have received any compensation from Stock Development, its affiliates or representatives and if so, the amount of such compensation. While such association has a right to voice its opinion on the project, such disclosure would allow you full transparency to a significant motivating factor.

My wife and I strongly oppose the One Naples project as proposed. We support the changes submitted by the planning commission that reduces the size and design of the project. We’ve lived in the community since 2004 and have seen many changes take place, some for the betterment of our town and others that take away from the charm that initially drew us to move here full-time. The plan as currently proposed will absolutely take away from the “planned vision” of our community. We can not and and should not give in to changes that will transform our town into a Miami Dade type environment over time. We all realize that allowing this proposal to pass as currently proposed sets the stage for other similar developments which will permanently change our beautiful community. We must stand strong and stop this type of transition. As our district leader, we expect you to uphold our values and support the communities wishes. To do otherwise would be a violation of your oath of office and the trust of the constituents your serve. In addition, if you choose to pass this development in its current state the citizens of District 2 we ultimately send a strong message back to you and the other commissioners that will permanently negatively impact your collective influence in our community. I also believe you and your fellow Commissioners should reconsider the location of the upcoming meeting to accommodate a larger audience. Better locations might include St John the Evangelist Church, North Collier County Regional Park, a Collier County School auditorium, or even the Phil at Artis.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1, 2021 yourself and fellow commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing to express my strong opposition to the development as currently proposed. Fully aware of the overwhelming opposition to the project’s design, denying this project as is should be an easy decision to make. But, from what I have gleaned, you believe the area residents aren't capable of understanding what is best for their neighborhood. When you say “Be careful what you wish for ” you imply the people don't what they are asking. I believe that is arrogant. Your role as county commissioner, is to hear your constituents and what they envision, rather than assume you know what's best for them and ram it down there throat. You can be rest assured the people fully understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect and adhere to the existing C-3 zoning. As such, I am asking you to vote NO on Stock's proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. You have to stop allowing developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. I will be there on March 1st to hold your feet to the fire.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I am a resident of the Beachwalk Community and currently there is a safety issue turning left out to Vanderbilt Beach road. If One Naples is built, 172 new residents, their visitors and cars will increase the safety issue. It has been debated that having commercial on the 5.4 acre property would bring more traffic. Our traffic expert says no. Other issues: Traffic study: the consultant for Stock and the county did a traffic study which wasn’t long range… it didn’t include new towns being built in the eastern rural lands which will increase traffic substantially. It also didn’t include traffic in and out from Beachwalk, Pelican Bay, the Ritz and Regatta. The study was done in January and May…not in season. Compatibility: CCPC debated whether or not it was compatible. Stock quoted from a dictionary. This is insulting! We live in the neighborhood and know what is compatible. Zoning and GMP: It is not zoned for this tall and dense development. Keep the CODES! The set- backs are too small. The Regatta has 150 foot set back. Stock quotes 25. C-3 Commercial: Many residents in the area would prefer some type of commercial. This is our community and we get nothing from the current proposal except headaches, lack of safety, and more traffic. What about a combination of residential, a neighborhood restaurant, deli, boutique, green space or flower garden? This is a neighborhood not a resort for millionaires. Landscaping: It has been pointed out many times by Stock that landscaping will hide the concrete bemouth. It won’t. It is still 2 towers of 16 stories on top of a garage on 5.4 acres. We are not against development but the community would like something on a human scale that includes something for us. Many options were presented at the CCPC meeting but were vetoed. Please listen to our ideas and reasons why the proposed Stock development is inappropriate for the small acreage and neighborhood.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners: I have viewed the website and video presentation created by Save Vanderbilt Beach. I am in total agreement with the arguments they put forth and encourage you all to put an end to the inappropriate overdevelopment going on in Collier County. One Naples current design is a prime example of this. The image below shows just how incompatible this design is with the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood. Remember, this is outside of Pelican Bay, NOT a part of it. And that huge wall running alongside Vanderbilt Beach Rd and Gulfshore Dr. is absolutely unacceptable, creating a canyon-like effect for passersby. 5 To help protect your priv acy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. The Stock Development’s One Naples high-rise project fundamentally disregards the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Land Development Code which residents and neighborhoods rely on to protect their quality of life and home investment. For this reason, ... the Collier County Board of Commissioners must deny the proposed GMP amendment. The community fully understands that in doing so, the property will retain its current C- 3 zoning, which will provide much needed walkable and bikeable neighborhood services. I implore all of you to vote against variances being requested that would allow this design to come to fruition. Your constituents will thank you when you are up for reelection!

Angela, given the sample agenda we shared with you and the Commissioner, we would expect the meeting to take about 1 hour. To get the full effect of the 3D model, it is best viewed in person so perhaps one individual can transport the model for the Commissioners inspection with others involved virtually via zoom on the other agenda items. During the NIM meeting of approximately 1 year ago, Stock representatives pledged they would prepare such a model but they failed to do so, the community opposition group of Save Vanderbilt Beach was forced to hire an expert to prepare this model based on public information....it is to scale and illustrates the offensive mass and density of the Stock proposal rather than the distant aerial views offered by Stock. Thank you for your response....copying several colleagues of mine to keep them informed. Look forward to your thoughts on how best to proceed.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend. The purpose in writing this email is to request the opportunity to meet with you regarding the proposed One Naples Development. I am attaching a copy of the communication we plan to use while meeting with all of the Commissioners...simply a suggested agenda and will certainly defer to you if you like to modify in any manner. Your website is quite informative and reassuring since you note you “are committed to ensuring the responsible management of the County’s growth”. The One Naples Development is both incompatible and inconsistent with the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood and clearly works contrary to achieving your stated goal of “Collier County remaining the best place to live, work and play”. We join you in achieving 14 this goal and look forward to sharing with you why the GMP as presented by Stock should be denied. Please provide some scheduling alternatives that are convenient to you and we will make every effort to accommodate your schedule. Thank you for your public service and your extensive work as a volunteer in the nonprofit hospice area....a most important charitable activity. Look forward to meeting with you personally in the near future. Thanks in advance.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I am sending the prewritten letter opposing the Stock One Development project One Naples because it does a good job delineating the main issues, but I want to add a personal note as well. One of the most appealing things about Naples is that it has an old Floridian beauty about it, with lovely smaller buildings and a walkable neighborhood feel, and Vanderbilt Beach is a perfect jewel. The two buildings and either side of the proposed towers are smaller and set back a great deal, allowing better and nicer beach access. The proposed monstrosity is planned for the area, surrounding Daruma and right along S. Bay Dr. and Vanderbilt Beach Road will hog the waterfront block views and hamper access. Both of these are set back quite a distance from the road, particularly the Ritz. This project is actually much closer geographically than either the Beechmoor or Ritz and would set a new precedent for density, bleeding over into virtually every future project for the county. On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop! I will be watching and listening on March 1st to hold your feet to the fire. Please don’t “33234” Naples to death. Please don’t “33234” this beautiful and distinctive area.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am a current board member at Falling Waters Beach Resort, and I am asking you, as our representative, to not let the Big Money of Stock Development influence you and allow them to disregard the current zoning laws of Collier County, with their current plans for One Naples. Their design plan for this site looks very enticing, but it goes against our current zoning restricting's. Letting Stock Development get away with this will open a Pandora's Box for all the other Big Money Developers to ruin the look of our beautiful Collier County. They have already started to sway public opinion with their very expensive ads promoting the One Naples plan. I think we all know these developers are only concerned about making money. They have many very talented people on their payroll to develop these plans and entice us with their WOW factor, without any regard to the people who live in and visit our little corner of Paradise. I am quite sure, if you as our representative's will stand together and turn their plan down, they will have a secondary plan to submit that will follow our zoning guide lines. It may take them two or three times before they get it right, but once they know you can't be swayed by their fancy designs and opulent presentations, they will get it right. I ask that you all stand together and send Big Money a strong and loud message. If, as a county, this area is something that needs to be developed, then sooner or later the right plan and developer will come along. Stock Development is not the only game in this very prosperous area.

I lived in Pinellas County when Madeira Beach City Council was asked for approval of a new height limit for just ONE PROPERTY. Within five years there weren't any of the old cottages left and the 2 lane main street is now 6 lanes. I doubt that the additional tax revenue paid for all the infrastructure costs.

I am contacting you today to voice my opposition to the One Naples Living Project as presently proposed by Stock Development and urge you consider the following question and request: Question Where else in all of SWFL is there a building with a height of 208'* rising up from a 15' setback* for two lengths of 195' each* immediately adjacent to a public sidewalk along which 400 pedestrians per hour* walk to the beach (in peak season)? *Data cited by Stock Development in their own testimony at CCPC Public Hearing on 10/1. Request Please don't fall into the same trap as did Commissioner Joseph Schmitt with the Collier County Planning Board who incredulously stated just before voting that the public failed to comprehend the complexities of the One Naples Project and he knew what was best for us. I implore you to listen to your constituents. Thank you for your consideration. Richard M.

Hi Andy, I know this has been a difficult year (to say the least!) and this is one more controversial thing. I hope you and your family are well. I heard Jack was working with you, I love it when the kids are home! In any case, I am writing today to voice my opposition to the One Naples Project. I realize that there have been a lot of back and forths and compromises by Stock Development, but I don't still don't think it is enough in line with the current zoning requirements. Thank you, Barbara Rougraff On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners, I originally sent this email on October 30, 2020. The County’s process, has been appropriately thorough, and understandably time-consuming. Between the end of October 2020 and now, the One Naples project has gone through the Planning Commission, multiple public meetings, plan modifications, and importantly, a new Commissioner has been elected to the Board of County Commissioners. There does seem to persist however, an ongoing commentary that compares the One Naples project to Pelican Bay. Therefore, the Foundation wishes to reiterate our position. Re: Proposed One Naples project Dear Commissioners: The Pelican Bay Foundation (Foundation) recognizes and values the importance of redevelopment to maintain property values and the quality of life in our community. We appreciate both the multiple and complex considerations of the criteria provided for in the land development code, the comprehensive plan amendments, the rezoning requests, etc., and, further, respect the concerns, objections, or support, of various community interest groups, individuals, or businesses. The Foundation expressly neither supports nor opposes the proposed One Naples project. In fact, we appreciate the open communication with which Stock Development has approached this proposed project. However, because properties within Pelican Bay have been cited as compatibility jus tifications for the One Naples project, the Foundation believes it has an obligation to clarify how Pelican Bay differs from the area to the north of Vanderbilt Drive since it is not part of Pelican Bay. Pelican Bay was created years ago as a comprehensive, well-planned, mixed-use Planned Unit Development, and it is vastly different from the neighborhoods to our south, north, and east. The planning, the PUD regulations and the applicable private declarations and covenants that govern Pelican Bay and have controlled its development include a myriad of factors, controls, constraints and planning techniques to regulate and manage development. The allowance of high-rise construction and mixed-use development are regulated and controlled by multiple different and important factors and controls. To compare only height in Pelican Bay to other areas, without also considering the overall planning and multiple other constraints that apply to Pelican Bay, seems like selective cherry picking. It is not an apt comparison. For example, the maximum height of principal structures within the Pelican Bay PUD is two hundred (200) feet above finished grade, provided that minimum yards must be maintained, from tract or 31 development parcel lines, right-of-way lines and/or the edge of the gutter of a private road, of fifty (50) feet or one-half (1/2) the height of the structure, whichever is greater. Simply stated, Pelican Bay is a well-planned, well-organized and well-run large-scale development that should not be compared or used in a comparative analysis to justify any position (for or against) relative to development outside of its jurisdictional boundaries unless the entire Pelican Bay regulatory scheme of controls and constraints are similarly included. We wish you well in your deliberations of the value and appropriateness of the proposed One Naples project for the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood.

Dear Board Member, As a long time owner of a home within Pelican Bay, I am opposed to One Naples and what it will do to the western end of the Vanderbilt Beach Road area. As you well know, VBR narrows to two lanes west of Route 41 and is congested "in season" with vehicles and pedestrians going to the beach. One Naples will result in even MORE congestion in the area. Additionally, with the building of five new high-rise condos at Kalea Bay with approximately 650 units, even more vehicles will use VBR as well and Pelican Bay Blvd. to avoid Route 41. There is already an increase in both vehicle and bicycle traffic on PBB. The Collier County Sheriffs Dept. recently completed a one-month survey of the number of vehicles using PBB. Over 94,000 vehicles in ONE MONTH!! One Naples and Kalea Bay will add even more! VOTE NO for One Naples and over development in North Naples!!

Mr. Solis: 1-Please be our voice with Governor Desanctis and ask that we get a fair amount of vaccine in Collier and not all supply go to the east coast. I have given up on ever getting the vaccine. The system does not work and the DOH has been incompetent. Other counties are very successful in their process. What is going on with Collier???? 2-MSTU Vanderbilt Beach. The amount of money spent on the Conner Park improvements charged to our neighborhood is unreasonable. All local residents use the park why do we have to pay for everything. I am not wealthy, am retired and this project greatly increased my taxes this year. Please note this when the next MSTU budget comes up. Enough is enough. Many residents feel as I do. MSTU budget for our area is way too high. 3-You have been quoted as saying " Nothing nefarious about Brian Stock's actions. Bribing nearby Condo residents to have them vote or support his project is nefarious. I live in Vanderbilt Beach and this project is unacceptable in this location and will set a precedent for other developers in Collier County.

Commissioners, Let’s call it what it is. Not pumping but dumping! Let’s identify what’s being dumped. Storm water is a kind term. How about toxic, dangerous, life, wild life and environment destroying sludge water. Flooded businesses, homes, garages and sheds off gassing, flooded septic tanks/field with fecal matter, flooded vehicles with oils and fuels, dead decaying animals all with a variety of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers mixed in. As Erin Brockovich once stated “go ahead, I had that brought in especially for you”. There are thousands if not tens of thousands of Collier County tax paying citizens living, and supposedly enjoying their water front access, all along the water ways you want to toxic dump into. Waterways effected by toxic dumping; Coco Canal, Cocohatchee River, The Palm River, Wiggins Pass, North Channel to Imperial River and Estero Bay, South Channel to Turkey Bay and all the surrounding estuaries. Just to name a few. You cannot control where it goes. Home communities and Condo Towers effected by toxic dumping; Palm River, Horse Creek and Willoughby Acres (et al), Colliers Reserve, Gulf Harbor, Pelican Isle Yacht Club, Aqua, Kalea Bay, Marina Bay Club, The Dunes, Audubon Country Club, Wiggins Bay Club, Tarpon Cove, Wiggins Lake, The Old Florida Golf Club, All of Connors neighborhood off Vanderbilt Dr and all condo towers on Gulf Shore Dr. and lastly, but probably missed a few, the proposed (hopefully not) One Naples by Stock Development. State and Collier County Parks effected by toxic dumping; Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and Collier County’s Lely Barefoot Beach. Both of the parks have inland estuaries. The immediate concern; You are violating your own disclosure and notification protocals. Have you notified all the citizens in these communities? Are you willing to go against these communities concerns of clean water and safe environments? Are you willing to pollute the quality of life of the neighborhood citizens and families? Are you willing to drive down property equites and values with a toxic dump? Concerned for a quality of life, Scott Zumstein scott@zumsteins.com 239-860-9025 cell 53 Scott Thanks for keeping me in the loop Pumps - when I read 'pumps' Quail West immediately came to mind. Quail West has illegally used pumps to divert flood waters from their golf course; I say illegally, because they were fined for taking that action; they paid the fine, apparently because they were of the opinion that it would be less money than repairing their flooded golf course. One would think that the flood waters would flow SW everywhere south of Bonita Beach Road; perhaps not, as pumps were need to move the water to where it would naturally flow away from their golf course; maybe there are lands south of Bonita Beach Road that are 'naturally' part of the Imperial River Drainage Basin?? One can bet that the powerhouse golf/gated developments along Immokalee Road, including Quail Creek, Quail West and Grey Oaks are players in this unfolding 'who gets the flood waters' drama. The water that we are all trying to deal with, wants to move South and West. The Imperial River Basin has always flooded, and Lee County has done a miserable job of managing the development of the Bonita Springs area; they want the problem to be someone else's. Couple that with Collier County's desire/need to ever expand the Sanitary Treatment Facilities on Goodlette - Frank Road, and you have what to me at least, is a clear motive for the continued proposals to divert the flood waters into the Cocohatchee River; the golf/gated communities are in lock-step with whatever proposal routes the water away from them. IMHO the water wants to predominantly flow South to Picayune Strand, Fakahatchee Strand and to Big Cypress. There is a Coastal Ridge on both coasts of Florida that funnels the water South into Florida Bay. The Coastal Rivers that, in our case, flow West are diminutive and are incapable of handling the water that careless development has diverted into them, and proposes to divert into them. Once more, we are banging our heads against nature _ that never works out good.

Subject: Item 11 D Big Cypress Basin (BCB) Boundary Expansion Commissioners, 55 First of all, thank you Commissioner Taylor for recalling this item. An expansion of the Big Cypress Basin has no benefit to Collier County. It will negatively impact a large portion of North Naples residents. This bill opens the door to diversion of water from Lee County down through Collier County, specifically to the Immokalee Road Canal and out into the sensitive Cocohatchee River Estuary and into Wiggins Bay which is an Outstanding Florida Waterbody. Regardless of how this is being presented, if you are familiar with the history it’s obvious that moving water south from Lee County into Collier County is the ultimate goal of this bill. Palm River, Cocohatchee River Estates, the Bay House, and Colliers Reserve had a meeting with Big Cypress Basin and County staff about this two years ago. Residents had a lot of questions and very few answers were provided. We were promised this wouldn’t move forward until our questions were answered and there were assurances that water wouldn’t be moved south or if it was, it wouldn’t affect our properties. Our trust was rewarded with a bill being pushed through via a budget document and no discussion with the stakeholders. The term “scientific” is being used very loosely. While this may have been valid pre-development, it is no longer the way water flows in the existing built environment. Although SFWMD states they reviewed existing permits, the reality doesn’t reflect their study results. If you need evidence, look at the pumps that would have been required for the Bonita diversion project. If water flowed that way naturally, a pump wouldn’t be required. You may recall a former SFWMD board member used the term “shared adversity” when he spoke of taking the flood water from Bonita Springs and pumping it south to the Immokalee Road Canal out to the Cocohatchee River and Estuary. The term “shared adversity” was used to describe the damage from flooding the Bonita stormwater would cause in residential areas such as Palm River, Collier’s Reserve, Horse Creek, and Cocohatchee River Estates. He spoke specifically of lessening the duration of flooding for a few hundred houses in Bonita Springs by flooding some homes in Palm River. While I sympathize with the residents of Bonita Springs, I object to becoming the affected area as we purchased our property in good faith after doing our due diligence about stormwater management. Regulations for stormwater design criteria were created and development was permitted, inspected, and approved by the SFWMD and Lee County and other government agencies. It is unrealistic to expect that the Collier County property owners calmly accept that their properties will now flood or at best, be de-valued due to government agencies that acted in bad faith, allowing areas of Lee County to be overdeveloped to the point of flooding. The burden of Lee County’s and/or municipalities Growth Management Divisions and SFWMD’s failure to plan sufficiently; allow development to go beyond what their stormwater management system can handle; or meet their concurrency requirements should not be placed on our shoulders and flood us out of our homes or drive our property values down. Before you provide support to this bill, could you please answer the following questions? If you are unable to answer them, could you please actively work to ensure this bill is not passed until answers are provided? 56 1. There is not enough capacity in Collier County’s existing stormwater management system as evidenced by existing flooding events. The existing stormwater management system infrastructure is also failing. What is being done to address those issues as well as meet the challenges of sea level rise? What are the costs of those improvements? I recall a stormwater funding issue that was attempted to be addressed in the form of a stormwater utility that failed. Why would you add stormwater from another County when stormwater management issues aren’t able to be appropriately funded here? 2. Collier County is already struggling with water quality, 36% of Collier County watersheds are impaired, including the Cocohatchee River watershed. Polluted stormwater runoff is causing algae blooms and other issues in stormwater ponds, in the canals, the estuaries and in the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the algae blooms give off toxins of which very little is known about the potential adverse health effects. Allowing more stormwater will make it worse. How would you require Lee County to treat their water before it is allowed to be shipped south? How would you be able to mandate and ensure treatment is working? What are those costs? Or conversely, how much will that treatment and monitoring cost Collier County residents? 3. Water management issues will continue to worsen due to sea level rise. The areas that would be required to share the adversity are adjacent to a tidal waterbody. As sea level rise is making these properties vulnerable to repeated inundation, why would you allow the addition of water from another county to worsen Collier County property owners’ situations? 4. How are you assuring Collier County’s stormwater management system is concurrent? 5. Have the areas downstream of the primary water management system been modeled? Why take on additional water without knowing if there is capacity or if the system is concurrent? 6. What are the impacts from the addition of Bonita National stormwater? 7. What assurances do we have that no negative impacts to our properties will result from this boundary expansion? We know that this bill is the first step in moving water south from Lee County to Collier County to alleviate flooding in Lee County. In addition to all of these unanswered questions and there is a huge negative impact to Collier County residents, I can’t imagine why you would support 57 the expansion of the Big Cypress Basin Boundary. I can only hope that you will actively work to make sure the bill doesn’t pass. Please, as our representatives, speak for us as if it were your home being threatened. 58 SolisAndy From:John Bamberger <johnhbamberger@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, February 9, 2021 10:38 AM To:SolisAndy Subject:One naples meeting venue EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop! I will be there on March 1st to hold your feet to the fire.

Dear Commissioner Solis: I am a Florida resident and live in Beachwalk Gardens, only a block from the proposed development. The purpose of this email is to share two observations. There is an old adage not to let someone else make their problem your problem. And it appears that may be what is happening here. You and your fellow commissioners do not have a problem here; you have an opportunity. An opportunity to serve your constituents, enhance your district, and leave a very positive legacy of contribution. Is the current One Naples proposal the best possible solution to this opportunity? The second observation is that if this project moves forward in a form close to the current proposal, it will be the gift that just keeps giving (and not in a positive way). The law of unintended consequences can be brutal and is almost certain to rear its ugly head when so little of the bigger, long term picture is visible. So like the overwhelming majority of my neighbors, I strongly encourage you to vote "NO" to the current proposal. There's a better solution. Let's find it.

From: Full Name Douglas Weber Email: dpaweber@hotmail.com Type a question ONE NAPLES GMP and PUD Rezone Dear Commissioner Solis, I am writing you today to express my opposition to the One Naples application as it is currently proposed. Before telling you my reasons, however, I do want to express my thanks to you for your willingness to thoroughly hear the comments of both sides of the debate. My hope is for your thoughtful consideration of all the concerned constituents in your district. I am opposed because, as has been so well documented, the plan is neither complimentary to nor compatible with the neighborhood. These shortcomings center primarily on height, mass, setbacks, and open space. As designed, One Naples promotes a Miami-like, canyon-like feeling that is the total opposite of the neighborhoods’ desires. The developer’s belief that by providing rooftop amenities such as cabanas and swimming pool is satisfying open space requirements, is totally absurd. Open space is to be enjoyed by all the people, not just the select few who can afford such an expensive “first class” residence. I am equally put off by the developer’s endless threat of a commercial development replacing his outrageous towers. Frankly, a commercial development constricted by the C-3 zoning requirements offers all the neighborhood’s residents an acceptable walkable/bikeable amenity 86 as opposed to a development that benefits only the developer and his 172 customers. Thank you for your consideration.

I ask you, if this development was so great for Collier County, would all this be necessary? Would Mr. Stock be willing to pay out this much money if he did not have to do it? Of course not. Why is this happening? Is this business as usual? I hope not! Commissioners, I hope you will do the right thing with One Naples. This kind of behavior should not be condoned.

With her permission we are sharing it with you. We hope you find it as well written and interesting as we did! Kudos to you Julie! ܷܸܵܶ We appreciate your support and membership! Thank you! 5 Julie Wyman is a full time, year-round resident of Pelican Bay (since 2016) and shared the following picture with Laura Layden taken from her residence looking directly out at where Stock wants to build OneNaples. In Julie's cover email to the Naples Daily News, she writes," I see all the traffic, lines of cars for the Ritz-Carlton (in the past) and for the Vanderbilt Beach Parking garage and everyday Collier County residents walking, jogging, biking, etc. Families walking to the beach and children pulling little red wagons to the beach-- right out of a Norman Rockwell painting! This part of North Naples has a real 'community/ neighborhood' feel -- you can see it out and about our streets!! The Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood is made up of young and old, retired as well as hard working men and women who chose to buy property here and live here. I, like so many others, thought the piece of property in question was zoned Commercial and primed to have a mini Mercato or Venetian Village -- a real asset to the area. Instead we are now threatened with a massive, over-development OneNaples totally out of sync with this area." ______________________ Dear Commissioner ... (Yes long, but please read ল঳঴঵শ) Brian Stock of Stock Development continues to compare his OneNaples to Pelican Bay -- across the street -- but a world apart. These two developments just are not comparable. Here's why: 1. The Pelican Bay towers, specifically the Ritz, Remington and Trieste, across the street from OneNaples are surrounded by acres and acres of 'green space,' lakes, marshes, flowers and trees. OneNaples towers will be surrounded by concrete and asphalt. To help protect your priv acy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. 6 2. All Pelican Bay towers have private beach access. OneNaples towers own no private beach access and the 344 +/- owners/renters together with their many guests will overwhelm Vanderbilt Beach"The People's Beach" 3. OneNaples is a total of 5.4 acres... of course that is only if Collier County 'gifts' Stock with .79 acres of taxpayers' roads. (Land valued at $3.4M) but for Stock.... PRICELESS! 4. Pelican Bay is a total of 2,100 acres; 530 acres of which are designated 'green space' and 77 acres of which were given to Collier County: 1.69 acres for the Vanderbilt Beach Branch Library; 3.63 acres for the North Collier Fire rescue, Sheriff's Station and Emergency Services; 15 acres to create Pelican Bay Community Public Park with tennis courts, large open field, etc.; 40 acres of Clam Pass Beachfront which is now a Collier County Beach Park; 12 acres for Collier County Utilities AND ... at the end of Vanderbilt Beach Road -- 5 acres of a beautiful stretch of beachfront property which is now the famous "Vanderbilt Beach" which includes land for the parking garage! That's right, Pelican Bay owned this land and it is now "The People's Beach" and one of the most popular beach accesses in Collier County! Recently along a stretch of Vanderbilt Beach Road, Collier County, using tax dollars, extended existing bike lanes further Westward heading to Vanderbilt Beach! 5. Instead of Stock 'gifting' anything to Collier County, Stock wants 'gifts' from Collier County such as: (a) Stock requests a change from Commercial Zoning to Residential Zoning -- this would have a huge negative impact on the quality of life of the neighborhood and of Collier County. When Stock purchased this property he knew it was zoned Commercial. (b) Stock requests a 'gift' from Collier County of .79 acres of taxpayers' roads (approximately $4.3M in land value) so he has one whole piece of property for his two massive 184' skyscrapers. When Stock purchased this property he knew he was purchasing 'pieces' of property divided by County roads. (c) Stock requests 'gifts' of increased building heights, greater density, reduced easements and minimal setbacks so his two 184' towers can be built as close to the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Blvd. as he can get so as not to spare any speck of land. BTW the tower directly across the street from OneNaples is 127' high and also in the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood. To help protect your priv acy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. 7 6. The proposed residential OneNaples in the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood is neither a good 'fit' nor consistent with the Growth Management Plan. The Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood is not comparable to the Pelican Bay neighborhood. The OneNaples property should remain commercial and provide nearby shops, restaurants and services for the neighborhood as well as for the enjoyment of all Collier County residents and visitors .. as it was intended.... that is why it is zoned COMMERCIAL. Nearby residents and hotel guests could walk or bike to the restaurants and shops. It would be another lovely Naples waterfront 'destination' ... with the public Vanderbilt Beach and public access to Vanderbilt Lagoon and a marina -- all in one area. Without excessive pollution runoff of an outrageously massive residential development, a safer environment will be provided for the marine wildlife of Vanderbilt Lagoon. No matter what, Stock should be required to 'gift' Collier County with the water frontage for a ***"Collier County Vanderbilt Lagoon Park." Collier County residents and visitors would have a 'waterfront' access experience at the Vanderbilt Lagoon -- instead of blocking off this "Florida Coastal Treasure" forever for the private use of a privileged few. Children could have all kinds of unique water experiences, water enjoyment, learn boating safety and get up close and learn to respect Florida waters and marine life.... it all awaits at the Vanderbilt Lagoon.

Per Tom Ross, P.E. from Jacobs Engineering the County's Peer Reviewer: Lining up the proposed One Naples entrance with the existing public parking garage entrance will create a standard four- way intersection which is one of the most common types. This is a very familiar intersection configuration for drivers to navigate. The existing westbound left turn into the garage entrance peaks during the morning and mid-day periods in peak-season. Although this traffic volume sometimes results in significant queues due to surges in demand, most of the queue is due to the delay caused by the manual payment collected at the garage entrance. As part of the One Naples project, the garage payment system will be converted to a system where payment is collected upon exit or a similar method that will eliminate the entry delay that contributes most of the queueing for the westbound left-turn. With this queue significantly reduced, this proposed intersection configuration is expected to operate similar to other four-way intersections.

Dear Commissioner I strongly oppose the vote to approve One Naples with any zoning and land use variances. A very large building can still be built within the existing zoning laws. The benefits they outline for variances are invalid and do not benefit and improve the existing community around them. I and others do not ask you to create new zoning laws, we ask you to simply enforce the ones we have today.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners Taylor, LoCastro, McDaniel, Saunders, and Solis: I write to emphasize a dispositive legal argument that prohibits Stock Development’s proposed One Naples project. Stock’s proposal constitutes unlawful Spot Zoning. As some of you are fellow litigators (I have been practicing for 42 years), I am hopeful that the controlling Florida case law and statutes described herein concerning Spot Zoning will resonate with you. Spot Zoning is the elephant in the room, as it condemns Stock’s proposed development. The Florida Supreme Court prohibited Spot Zoning in Parking Facilities v. City of Miami Beach, 88 So.2d 141 (1956). The Florida legislature codified this prohibition in Florida Statutes, Section 163.3194(3)(a). The prohibition is further codified in Policy 5.6 of the Future Land Use Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Spot Zoning is the name given to the piecemeal rezoning of small parcels of land to a greater density, leading to disharmony with the surrounding area. Spot Zoning gives preferential treatment to one parcel at the expense of the zoning scheme as a whole. See Southwest Ranches Homeowners Assoc. v. Broward County , 502 So.2d 931, 935 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987). Unlawful Spot Zoning creates a small island of property with restrictions on its use different from that of surrounding properties, solely for the benefit of a particular property owner and to the detriment of the community or without a substantial public purpose. Allapattah Community Ass’n Inc. of Florida v. City of Miami, 379 So.2d 387 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980); City Commissioner of the City of Miami v. Woodlawn Park Cemetery Co., 553 So.2d 1227, 1240 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). The determination of Spot Zoning involves an examination of (1) the size of the spot; (2) the compatibility with the surrounding area; (3) the benefit to the owner and (4) the detriment to the immediate neighborhood. Parking facilities, Inc. v. City of Miami Beach, 88 So.2d 141 (Fla. 1956); Dade County v. Inversiones Rafamar S.A., 360 So.2d 1130 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978). In its proposal, Stock asks, solely in respect to its parcel, for (1) density that is double the density allowed by the current zoning law, (2) building heights that are double to triple the permissible building heights, (3) open space that is half of that required by the current zoning law, and (4) setbacks that are one-quarter of the setbacks currently required. Stock’s proposal is incompatible and inconsistent with, and in no way complementary to, the comprehensive plan, the current zoning rules, and the pertinent surrounding neighborhood. It seeks to create an impermissible “square peg” of land in an incompatible “round hole” community, to the great harm of, and with no benefit to, the entire community, for the sole benefit of the developer. Stock’s proposal is the poster child for unlawful Spot Zoning. Stock cannot properly rely on nearby properties in neighboring zones such as Bay Colony or Pelican Bay to create a purported compatibility that does not exist. Allowing comparisons with properties in other zones would impermissibly import a neighboring zone’s rules into a zone that has different zoning rules, just because it is nearby. Plainly, that would make Florida zoning laws meaningless. In Machado v. Musgrave, 519 So. 2d 629 (3d Dist. 1987), the court prohibited such a comparison, holding that “a comprehensive land plan legislatively sets a zoning norm for each zone,” not a single piece of property. One of the reasons for this rule, said the 26 Machado court: “to avoid spot zoning.” Id. Collier County Land Development Code (“LDC”) Section 1.05.01F confirms this point. It provides: “Each zoning district has its own purpose and establishes its own density and intensity regulations.” Pelican Bay and Bay Colony provide particularly poor comparisons to the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood in issue here, as they are vastly different communities with vastly different regulatory controls and restraints. Not surprisingly, the law does not allow Stock to avoid the Florida prohibition on Spot Zoning by separately seeking an amendment to the Growth Management Plan (“GMP”) that addresses only Stock’s parcel. As the Court in Machado explained, the prohibition on permitting a GMP amendment for a single piece of property “is the only way to (1) regulate and maintain land use by zones; (2) make individual zoning changes . . . conform to a legislated plan; and (3) avoid arbitrary spot zoning change that permits the use of individual parcels to depart from a plan.” Florida Statute 163.3194(1) confirms this point, providing that amending the GMP can only be done “as to the area of the entire zone,” not a single piece of property within the zone as sought by Stock. Indeed, the Court in Machado explained that under Section 163, local comprehensive plans “are not zoning laws.” They are “a limitation on a local governments . . . zoning powers.” Moreover, LDC Section 9.04.03 allows a zoning variance only if it is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land. Stock’s proposal plainly does not satisfy that requirement. Importantly, the stakes here are far bigger that the One Naples project currently in issue. If the Commissioners permit Stock’s current proposal to proceed, the Commissioners may render themselves powerless to stop the next project, and the next one after that, going north on Gulf Shore Drive. Currently, there is nothing in the neighborhood comparable to One Naples. So Spot Zoning flatly prohibits Stock’s proposal. But if the Commissioners allow One Naples to proceed, the next developer on Gulf Shore Drive will use One Naples as a comparable, and the Commissioners may have no principled basis for stopping that next proposal, and the next one, and the one after that. Right here, right now, the Commissioners will be condemning the Vanderbilt Beach and surrounding neighborhoods if they approve One Naples as currently proposed. Stock’s requested variances would benefit only Stock and would disregard entirely the rights of the residents of the area and the general public. Stock’s proposal would not create any resources useful to or needed by those who live in the area. To the contrary, the proposed development would do nothing more than accomplish an arbitrary, capricious, unlawful, and uncompensated wealth transfer of property from the thousands of residents who built and enjoyed their neighborhood over many decades and relied on the integrity of the current zoning rules, to a single developer. Indeed, in the face of the crescendo of community opposition to Stock’s proposal and the Planning Commission Staff’s recommendation against Stock’s proposal in its current form, the Collier County Planning Commissioners declined to approve Stock’s proposal. Nor can Stock plausibly claim that it would be unfair to deny its requested zoning variances. A developer who purchases land subject to existing zoning limitations accepts the risk that the limitations will remain in place. Stock knew when it purchased the land that its proposed project is prohibited by the zoning rules currently in force. The Planning Commission Staff Report dated September 24, 2020 agreed in 20 places that Stock’s proposal is incompatible and inconsistent with the Growth Management Plan. The Staff opined that Stock’s project could be approved only if its scope is dramatically reduced to comply with the current requirements for height, density and setbacks. Importantly, Florida Courts give no deference to the Commissioners’ judgment where Spot Zoning is in issue, because it is an issue of law. As explained in Machado, a court must review de novo, and with “strict scrutiny,” not deference, the Commissioners’ decision. A reviewing court would surely find Stock’s proposal to be prohibited, unlawful Spot Zoning. Attached hereto is a copy of an October 12, 2020 letter by my former law partner, Michael Austin, who represents a fellow member of the opposition to Stock’s proposed development, Ken Melkus. In his letter, Mr. Austin amplifies on the law of Spot Zoning and agrees that Stock’s proposed project constitutes unlawful Spot Zoning. As you consider Stock’s proposal, please be guided by your sacred duty to protect the residents of these communities. A tasteful, modest development of appropriate scale, consistent and compatible with current 27 zoning requirements, can be an enhancement to the area. But allowing Stock to undertake a project with anything close to the currently proposed scope would impermissibly inflict substantial damage to the people that the Commissioners are duty bound to protect. Stock is asking the Commissioners to allow Stock to break the law. Under Florida law, Stock’s request must be rejected. Respectfully, William P.

Dear Commissioner Solis: I participated in the Zoom call you hosted on February 16, 2021 with representatives of many of the groups who oppose Stock’s One Naples project.

The determination of Spot Zoning involves an examination of (1) the size of the spot; (2) the compatibility with the surrounding area; (3) the benefit to the owner and (4) the detriment to the immediate neighborhood. Parking facilities, Inc. v. City of Miami Beach, 88 So.2d 141 (Fla. 1956); Dade County v. Inversiones Rafamar S.A., 360 So.2d 1130 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978). In its proposal, Stock asks, solely in respect to its parcel, for (1) density that is double the density allowed by the current zoning law, (2) building heights that are double to triple the permissible building heights, (3) open space that is half of that required by the current zoning law, and (4) setbacks that are one-quarter of the setbacks currently required. Stock’s proposal is incompatible and inconsistent with, and in no way complementary to, the comprehensive plan, the current zoning rules, and the pertinent surrounding neighborhood. It seeks to create an impermissible “square peg” of land in an incompatible “round hole” community, to the great harm of, and with no benefit to, the entire community, for the sole benefit of the developer. Stock’s proposal is the poster child for unlawful Spot Zoning. Stock cannot properly rely on nearby properties in neighboring zones such as Bay Colony or Pelican Bay to create a purported compatibility that does not exist. Allowing comparisons with properties in other zones would impermissibly import a neighboring zone’s rules into a zone that has different zoning rules, just because it is nearby. Plainly, that would make Florida zoning laws meaningless. In Machado v. Musgrave, 519 So. 2d 629 (3d Dist. 1987), the court prohibited such a comparison, holding that “a comprehensive land plan legislatively 29 sets a zoning norm for each zone,” not a single piece of property. One of the reasons for this rule, said the Machado court: “to avoid spot zoning.” Id. Collier County Land Development Code (“LDC”) Section 1.05.01F confirms this point. It provides: “Each zoning district has its own purpose and establishes its own density and intensity regulations.” Pelican Bay and Bay Colony provide particularly poor comparisons to the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood in issue here, as they are vastly different communities with vastly different regulatory controls and restraints. Not surprisingly, the law does not allow Stock to avoid the Florida prohibition on Spot Zoning by separately seeking an amendment to the Growth Management Plan (“GMP”) that addresses only Stock’s parcel. As the Court in Machado explained, the prohibition on permitting a GMP amendment for a single piece of property “is the only way to (1) regulate and maintain land use by zones; (2) make individual zoning changes . . . conform to a legislated plan; and (3) avoid arbitrary spot zoning change that permits the use of individual parcels to depart from a plan.” Florida Statute 163.3194(1) confirms this point, providing that amending the GMP can only be done “as to the area of the entire zone,” not a single piece of property within the zone as sought by Stock. Indeed, the Court in Machado explained that under Section 163, local comprehensive plans “are not zoning laws.” They are “a limitation on a local governments . . . zoning powers.” Moreover, LDC Section 9.04.03 allows a zoning variance only if it is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land. Stock’s proposal plainly does not satisfy that requirement. Importantly, the stakes here are far bigger that the One Naples project currently in issue. If the Commissioners permit Stock’s current proposal to proceed, the Commissioners may render themselves powerless to stop the next project, and the next one after that, going north on Gulf Shore Drive. Currently, there is nothing in the neighborhood comparable to One Naples. So Spot Zoning flatly prohibits Stock’s proposal. But if the Commissioners allow One Naples to proceed, the next developer on Gulf Shore Drive will use One Naples as a comparable, and the Commissioners may have no principled basis for stopping that next proposal, and the next one, and the one after that. Right here, right now, the Commissioners will be condemning the Vanderbilt Beach and surrounding neighborhoods if they approve One Naples as currently proposed. Stock’s requested variances would benefit only Stock and would disregard entirely the rights of the residents of the area and the general public. Stock’s proposal would not create any resources useful to or needed by those who live in the area. To the contrary, the proposed development would do nothing more than accomplish an arbitrary, capricious, unlawful, and uncompensated wealth transfer of property from the thousands of residents who built and enjoyed their neighborhood over many decades and relied on the integrity of the current zoning rules, to a single developer. Indeed, in the face of the crescendo of community opposition to Stock’s proposal and the Planning Commission Staff’s recommendation against Stock’s proposal in its current form, the Collier County Planning Commissioners declined to approve Stock’s proposal. Nor can Stock plausibly claim that it would be unfair to deny its requested zoning variances. A developer who purchases land subject to existing zoning limitations accepts the risk that the limitations will remain in place. Stock knew when it purchased the land that its proposed project is prohibited by the zoning rules currently in force. The Planning Commission Staff Report dated September 24, 2020 agreed in 20 places that Stock’s proposal is incompatible and inconsistent with the Growth Management Plan. The Staff opined that Stock’s project could be approved only if its scope is dramatically reduced to comply with the current requirements for height, density and setbacks. Importantly, Florida Courts give no deference to the Commissioners’ judgment where Spot Zoning is in issue, because it is an issue of law. As explained in Machado, a court must review de novo, and with “strict scrutiny,” not deference, the Commissioners’ decision. A reviewing court would surely find Stock’s proposal to be prohibited, unlawful Spot Zoning. Attached hereto is a copy of an October 12, 2020 letter by my former law partner, Michael Austin, who represents a fellow member of the opposition to Stock’s proposed development, Ken Melkus. In his letter, Mr. Austin amplifies on the law of Spot Zoning and agrees that Stock’s proposed project constitutes unlawful Spot Zoning. 30 As you consider Stock’s proposal, please be guided by your sacred duty to protect the residents of these communities. A tasteful, modest development of appropriate scale, consistent and compatible with current zoning requirements, can be an enhancement to the area. But allowing Stock to undertake a project with anything close to the currently proposed scope would impermissibly inflict substantial damage to the people that the Commissioners are duty bound to protect. Stock is asking the Commissioners to allow Stock to break the law. Under Florida law, Stock’s request must be rejected. Respectfully, William P.

One Naples Development EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Solis, Thank you for taking the time Thursday to discuss the upcoming meeting regarding the proposed One Naples Development project. The group was pleased to hear of your position against Stock’s proposal. We totally agree with you that Stock’s plan is unacceptable regarding the key metrics of height, setbacks, open space, mass, environment, etc.. Consequently, we expect the applicant’s request for a GMP amendment should be denied. We are concerned how the process evolves during the hearing. For the applicant to offer a series of changes to the pending application is an accident waiting to happen. I know you agree this project is very complex and interrelated, it is virtually impossible to appreciate the implications of changing one variable without understan ding how it affects others. For example, does an increase in setbacks cure the open space deficiency? If the towers are lowered by four stories, does this modification reduce the density to an acceptable standard? The list of such interdependencies is endless. If Stock believes his application is likely to be denied, he has the option to seek continuation, revise his application and resubmit to the staff for consideration. Staff has spent untold hours and resources to formulate their recommendations. Although the Naples Park Area Association, the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, the Vanderbilt Beach Residents Association, Save Vanderbilt Beach, and other communities support staff design conditions, the better option is to deny the GMP amendment outright. Finally, the number of respondents to the recently implemented attitude survey continues to surge and not surprisingly, nearly 90% of those in your District 2 recommend denial of the Stock project. Total results by district will be presented to the Commissioners at the March 1st hearing. In closing, we thank you for the meeting and look forward to your leadership in denying the GMP amendment request.

My question was not addressed during the meeting, and I, along with many of my friends/neighbors in Naples Park, am very concerned about the One Naples project. Our neighborhood does not have sidewalks, nor do our streets have shoulders, and we are a very active walking neighborhood. I am concerned about the impact to our neighborhood should the One Naples project move forward. I would be happy to walk you around our neighborhood (masked, of course) to show you the concerns we have. We do not have sidewalks on east/west streets, we do not have crosswalks to cross Vanderbilt Drive and there is a lot of traffic along Vanderbilt Drive (especially during traditional rush hour) and people drive very quickly (we have 25 mph posted throughout our neighborhood). I look forward to your response and I hope you would be willing to come see why we are concerned. Thanks!

Regarding the DOH, I haven't yet gotten answers to the all the questions you sent 43 me; what Ihave received is the following update: "DOH-Collier is in the process of transitioning to the ShareCare site [the MyVaccine system].

We are working with Collier County Emergency Management (EM) and State Emergency Management to secure that list to schedule clients for the vaccine. Furthermore, we continue to work with our community partners, such as Collier County EMS/Fire, EM, local hospitals, municipalities, and outreach groups to continue to schedule those who are 65+ and healthcare personnel with direct patient contact." I know this is very frustrating to us all. Here's where I remind you that the DOH is a *state* agency; they do not answer to local government officials.

I do inquire of, suggest to, and cajole the DOH, and my office has been helping those having trouble getting their second doses scheduled, and passing along your questions.

These buildings do not conform to the proportions of the neighborhood. That neighborhood is not Pelican Bay where the larger buildings are significantly set back and surrounded by protected lands and natural beauty. Instead the neighborhood is Vanderbuilt Beach where the buildings are closer to each other and therefore proportionately smaller. Traffic on Vanderbuit Beach Road is already a problem. This project will make it much worse. There will be more drivers cutting through through Pelican Bay Boulevard, whe re speeding is a significant problem and the roadway is dangerous for pedestrians and bikers. Naples beach will be further overcrowded. The environmental impact on the bay will be significant. I simply don’t understand why commissioners continue to approve these overbearing developer projects. What is in it for the existing residents?

Dear Commissioner Solis: I am a member of the County Planning Commission and I sat through the many hours of testimo ny at our CCPC meetings regarding the ONE Naples request. I am relatively new to the Planning Commission. Prior to being appointed I was part of our majority population that believed the County always approves developer requests to change the Growth Management . This is one of the reasons, I accepted the position. That reputation has to change. We represent the residents not the developers. My mindset is you establish a plan that the residents can rely and only make changes that benefit the residents of Collier County. I also, go to Vanderbilt beach regularly. To me this is a no brainer to not approve this application. There is no good reason or any resident support to change our current GMP and certainly no benefit other than to the developer. If you support this request to change, you will be continuing to prove to the residents of Collier County that you do not represent the residents but rather the developers which would be a very sad message to send the public. And quite frankly it would make me reconsider if it is worth my time to be a Planning Commission.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Mr. Solis, It is incomprehensible to me why and how our County government could consider permitting a hugely inappropriate development such as One Naples. The impact on the Vanderbilt Beach community will be devasting and change the landscape in a most negative ways. For one, the density of this development will create crowds of people the surrounding beaches cannot handle. Currently, along Gulf Shore Drive on Vanderbilt Beach, people are driving there cars to unload passengers at the beach accesses along the road. This is dangerous, holds up traffic, and should be policed. This will only get worse with a development such as One Naples. The impact of the traffic will be devasting. The density of One Naples, along with the current load of traffic, will cause many delays and impact the roads. There will be an increased number of accidents, pedestrian safety will be an increased issue, as well as policing the additional density and traffic. Currently, the traffic backs up across the Bluebill Bride for Delnor Wiggins State Park and the Connors Park Parking Lot will be full at peak times. I am a permanent resident of 11 Bluebill Ave, Surf Colony 1. I deal with the Vanderbilt Beach traffic on a daily basis. This is my home and I am not a snowbird. One Naples is not the appropriate development for the designated parcel of land not matter how much Stock Development pays off the adjacent property owners and no matter what type of community benefit they provide. The land and location cannot absorb this density in a safe and healthy manner. There will only be life long problems as a result that can not be reversed. I ask of you, PLEASE do the appropriate, proper, and right thing and DO NOT ALLOW THIS DEVELOPMENT WHATSOEVER! Dennis L.

Dar Commissioner: Attached are the transcripts of the 2 Planning Commission meetings regarding One Naples. The issue of having Commercial accessible stores on the first floor of the parking garage is on the transcript of Oct. 15th and is concluded on page 28. James Sabo met with Mr French, Thaddeus Cohen and others to come up with a design that would allow the community to access some of the features of One Naples. They did not want One Naples to look like it w as shutting out the neighborhood, but including it. With the 35 foot tall parking garage that is 700 feet long, the appearance would be similar to a prison, shutting the public out. In exchange for allowing commercial accessible use, they recommended that One Naples use a tiered approach to the tower and be limited to 125 feet tall. The second tower should be about 87 feet tall to "step down" from the big tower thus reducing the mass. Anyway, that was part of the Staff's recommendations to have the One Naples buildings better fit into the neighborhood. Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you today. I must say, I found you very knowledgeable and articulate and you show an understanding of the problems of this development. We cannot understand why Brian Stock has not made any attempt to meet with us and discuss these issues. We are not anti-Stock or anti-development. I believe he made a bad business decision in buying these parcels and he appears to think that he can ram-rod his plan right through regardless of what the residents want. We are not going away because we are very afraid of others buying small parcels of land and building high-rises, thus forever changing Naples for the worst. Thank you again.

It’s been helpful. My second purpose is to let you know that my wife and I are opposed to the One Vanderbilt project as currently proposed. We are not anti development but this project requires far too many rules changes and exceptions to existing law. The wall that is proposed is too close to the road and it will make the neighborhood less attractive. The right project on this space could improve the neighborhood. Also, the buildings are out of proportion to the rest of Vanderbilt Beach. Pelican Bay is not a fair comparison with so much open space in Pelican Bay. We hope you will vote against the project as currently proposed and encourage the developer to come back with reduced heights, more open space and better setbacks. This issue is important to us and will influence our votes in the next election.

Dear Commissioner Solis I am writing to you to express my feelings regarding the One Naples Project/Development. I have viewed all the photos and have seen all the videos available on the internet, read articles in our newspapers and yet can not find anything positive about the project, including the proposed changes. So far it still remains inappropriate for our neighborhood. The traffic is a major concern as it would be too Intense and far too dense for the proposed area. It will spoil sunsets and water views for existing residents, and it will create more over the speed limit vehicle pass through on Pelican Bay boulevard by non residents which Is already a concern for bikers and pedestrians. In conclusion I along with many others beg you to vote against the project as it exists. I have lived here for over 25 years and the area has already become a concrete eyesore for what was our beautiful Collier County. Thank you for your consideration.

It is quite obvious in practical terms that the proposed project is too massive, too dense for the 5.4 acres of land available to the developer. Vanderbilt Beach Road and Vanderbilt are presently crowded with cars and people enjoying the beautiful public beach. This congested area cannot sustain a project that would bring to the area the people and their cars, and boats this project calls for. Vanderbilt Beach ,a favorite for Naples residents brings hundreds and hundreds of cars each day, especially on weekends and any day at sunset time. Allowing this proposed project with this density would be a disaster for all people of Naples. Please require the developer to go back to the drawing boards and submit new plans comparable to the area and reasonable for the 5.4 acres of available land. The future of our beautiful Naples is in your hands. Please do not destroy Naples and turn it into Miami or NYC.

Commissioner Solis: As a resident of the Beachmoor condominium I have a direct view of the proposed One Naples development. I am not opposed to development on this piece of land however ONLY a reasonable development, within existing codes is acceptable. The traffic nightmare this proposed development is in itself enough to deny Stock's request. The safety issue for individuals as well as the support personnel, fire rescue, police and ambulance access needs to be highly considered. In addition, the environmental, covid, and neighborhood issues- quality of life, should not be forgotten. Other concerns I have is the way Stock is 'buying' their way into the area. The $550,000.00 cash and services offered to 'certain' condo buildings to gain their approval is unethical to the average person. (That is, one who is not normally involved in such developments ) This action makes one believe that everyone has a price and that the developers will do anything to acquire approval of their proposal for their financial gain.

As parents of two young children, we love Naples for its family-friendly atmosphere, the safety it provides by its size and for its sheer beauty: gardens, waterside living, green spaces. Naples is a place to live, not just vacation and party, unlike the tower-shaded beaches of the East Coast. One Naples will undeniably destroy one of Naples distinguising features: the cachet inherent to the delicate balance of nature and city living. We ask that you please keep our family's opinion in mind when deciding on this importa nt matter. One Naples will affect all of us and the benefits it will yield will surely not outweigh the losses it will cause to our collective quality of life in Naples.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. As a full time resident, who lives and exercises in this area, too much development, as proposed by Stock will be detrimental to the environment and people living in and visiting the area. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop!

I live right off of Vanderbilt Beach Rd and bike down to the Vanderbilt beach every day. It is a tragedy that you have allowed the One Naples Project to advance to this stage! Shame on you! Are you listening to your constituents at all or have you been paid off like many others? I don’t know a single person around here who agrees with this development! So, when I hear/read about your support at the council meetings, it is so distressing to me! I will NEVER VOTE YOU BACK IN AS A COMMISSIONER EVER AGAIN IF YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT! Also, I have written you other letters regarding this project and never once received a response or even an acknowledgement from you. Do you care about my opinion at all? I think not! Shame on you!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: As a voter in your district, I strongly urge you to vote against Stock Development’s rezoning request for One Naples. This corner is the gateway to Vanderbilt Beach, beloved by locals and tourists alike. This is an area primarily experienced on foot, and turning this corner into a pedestrian "dead zone" is simply wrong on every level. Instead of a concrete bunker, this corner needs a vibrant pedestrian-oriented collection of shops and restaurants to serve the neighborhood residents and visitors alike. Stock's proposed development firmly plants its concrete ass on the corner, and turns its back to the street. This may be financially optimal for Stock, but it is not what is best for Collier County. As a community, we are fortunate; we do not need to sell our soul in search of tax revenue. We can choose to preserve and improve upon the experiences that make our community special. This critical corner was identified as a rare opportunity to retain publicly accessible amenities at the shore. Please respect that vision and foresight by voting no and making Stock honor the restrictions that were in place at the time of purchase. It is the will of the people, and the right thing to do for our community.

Commissioner Solis, Please do not be deceived by the intentionally deceptive visual presentation of the OneNaples project circulated by the Stock corporation in the Naples Daily News and other outlets. Photoshopping an aerial view taken from hundreds or thousands of feet away in no way accurately represents the impacts of the development as proposed: shadowing, increased traffic density, canyonization, decreased setbacks, and violation of maximum building heights as set forth in the existing growth management plan. People reside and travel much closer to ground level in this area than the distorted aerial visuals promoted by Stock. Please do not be mislead. I ask that you vote against the amendments to the Growth Management Plan as proposed. The negative effects of this project on Vanderbilt Beach would be repeated across the rest of Collier County is the GMP is amended.

As a resident of Beachmoor, I have a bird’s eye view of the traffic along Gulf Shore Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road. When the weather is good (which is most of the time) traffic backs up in all directions. The garage entrance quickly becomes a 20 car line with several cars usually impeding the passing lane. One Naples will, without a doubt, make this situation much worse. Fire rescue, police, and ambulance access time will increase as a public safety issue. I don’t know when Stock Development did their traffic study but must assume it was on a rainy 60 degree day midweek. I understand their right to develop the property but they MUST be held to existing codes. Appreciate your time and effort’s as my commissioner and hopeful for a no vote from you.

Commissioner Solis, I have been a owner in Naples (Vanderbilt Beach) for the last 40 years and have enjoyed all of what Naples implemented in their rules and building codes and was enforced for many years on their growth management plans (GMP). I do personally know about all because 23 years ago I built a project on Vanderbilt Beach called Le Dauphin 9811 and 9790 Gulf Shore dr. and had to respect all rules and building codes. (Wish I could have built 18 to 20 stories). One Naples is asking all of you to change all of those rules plus disregarding the recommendations of your Group Management Plan officials. One Naples is even offering financial incentives to condominium associations to side with them on their project. Are they that desperate to destroy our community.And are you ready to break the existing rules ?. Please respect all of the GMP recommendations this is what we all ask for. You all live in Naples and there was a reason why you chose Naples. I would think they knew the rules when they purchased the individual lands for their development.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: My family owns a condominium in Trieste at Bay Colony, in Pelican Bay. We have enjoyed the use of this property on many occasions over the last few years. My impression is that the entire Pelican Bay planned development is an example of government holding developers to established zoning codes, with a beautiful result. I am sure there was give and take. I come from a family of builders and developers – and there is always give and take. But, ultimately, the government authority has the responsibility to protect the residents from over-development, destruction of wetlands, safe and timely evacuation routes, traffic congestion, water drainage issues, and free and quiet enjoyment of the public beach, among other issues. However, what Stock Development is asking to do is not give and take – it is all take. I simply do not understand why as a Commissioner representing our neighborhood, you (or any of the other Commissioners) would vote in favor of a zoning change. Zoning laws are established (usually) well before use. The Zoning Board spends months (and maybe years) on getting the code right – examining all facets and contemplating future growth and density – using information that was available to them at the time. When the zoning was established for the proposed One Naples project site, I am guessing that the Vanderbilt Beach corridor was mostly open space, or small mom & pop businesses, with a high rise peppered in along Gulf Shore. It made sense that the zoning board was concerned about density and growth and the established zoning addressed that concern. Why second guess their decision? Anything other that the current zoning – including set back requirements, building heights, density, open space, and traffic pattern and evacuation routes – should not be considered. On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application to change the zoning for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. I want to see the zoning remain as currently designated, as C-3. I recently stayed at the Vanderbilt Beach resort. (My 3rd time, actually). It is charming, the beach is delightful, and the areas is quiet and enjoyable. But even now, there are problems evidenced by the overflow of beach-goers that come down the beach from the public beach. As it stands, right NOW the public beach cannot sustain the level of beach attendance. People are literally shoulder to shoulder. What will happen when One Naples residents and guests want to use the beach? I cannot even imagine. The beach congestion is just one example of the IMPACT One Naples will have on an already strained area. I am asking you to vote to deny the Stock Development proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. Please do what is right for Naples, for Vanderbilt Beach, for N. Gulf Shore and for everyone who just wants to park and go to the beach.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I am asking you and all of the commissioners to deny Stock Developer's request for their Na ples One Project. I live across from Buzz's Light House Restaurant and have been here for almost 16 years. I lived at the north end of the street for 12 years prior to this also. I love my neighborhood. What's not to love? It's so hard for me to understand how there is even a consideration of allowing this project to move forward. To give them the density, the limited setbacks, and the heights that they're asking for is incomprehensible to me. Unless you live here you can't know what is best for the neighborhood. To try their scare tactics of a gas station being built here or another Publix is ludicrous. If that was ever a consideration then it would have already been built. I disagree completely with Stock on their insistence that their project would bring far fewer cars than a commercial development. If it was financially feasible to build a small commercial development with shops and restaurants I'd say let's go for it. That would at least benefit all of Collier County. Stock's proposal doesn't benefit all of the county at all. What Stock wants is completely contrary to the Master Plan for Collier County. I don't understand how the commissioners can vote yes for this project. Please listen to me and my neighbors (and not the ones who are just saying yes because Stock is going to make improvements to their existing condo properties for their yes votes.) On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am begging you today to oppose the development as Stock has currently proposed it. I assure you that I do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I will be there on March 1st to show all of the commissioners that we are committed to saving this area. Vanderbilt Beach belongs to all of Collier County and not just the people who live on Gulf Shore Drive. I truly want what I personally feel is best for our county and all of its residents.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. I will be directly effected in a negative way by this project. I live at 9235 Gulf Shore Drive, diagonally across the street from this proposed project . In high season it is already difficult to pull out of our driveway due to so many cars, walkers and bikers. If 172 units are built at One Naples that is approximately 350 more people wanting to access this area. The corner of Gulf Shore Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road were not designed to handle that many people. It feels like it will be an accident waiting to happen. The developer of this property should stick to the original zoning of C-3. Please, please listen to your constituents and vote against this project. It is not right for the neighborhood and once it is built it cannot be undone. I will be there on March 1st to voice my opposition to this project.

I know that the Collier County Commissioners will be holding a hearing on March 1 to review the project. My sincere hope is that the Commissioners will vote to support their constituents who oppose the project rather than continue what has been a record of decisions favoring developers regardless of prohibitive zoning restrictions, serious impacts on traffic and dangerous increases in population density. Any decision to approve this project as proposed will begin the domino effect of turning our community into Miami Beach West. Andy, many of us moved to the Naples area because we don’t like mishmash row after row of condos that populate Miami Beach. Please, don’t you and your fellow commissioners abandon us. We are who you represent not Stock. I look forward to the March 1 meeting and your vote on this important issue for our community.

This project will harm all the surrounding neighborhoods and especially ours, just down the street. The main benefit would be to the developers. When the time comes, you must vote AGAINST this project. My wife and I are watching closely and will be taking notes about who does the right thing for us and our neighbors and who supports the developer.

I'd be out on the street in front of Mr. Stock's office with protesting signs. I am so upset that he is more interested in personal gains than he is with protecting the environment and being respectful to people who have followed rules and earned the right to keep their homes as they are. He is making superfluous superficial temporary offers trying to squash the rights of fellow human beings. We NEED our commissioners to protect us all. I am in my eighties and quite possibly will not be around to see how this works out. I am concerned about the children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren who will be affected by Mr. Stock's greediness. What you decide will affect generations of people. Please think ahead for future residents. Please fight to keep Mr. Stock from building his project. It would be good for everyone to stop him. I answered your survey and had some trouble with it.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, I am writing in reference to your support for the One Naples project. Since retiring to Naples some 25 years ago I have witnessed the operation of development in Collier County. On the surface there is a very impressive Land Development Code. Unfortunately, it is not very effective because the real LDC is what ever the County Commissioners approve. Couple this with the subliminal system that most commissioners will vote to approve any application that is submitted from a district if the commissioner of that district recommends it. This is essentially a quid pro quo, “you approve mine and I will approve yours”. Where does this leave the tax paying residents of Collier County. Just as this is one country, our country, – it is one county, our county. The deviations from the LDC for the One Naples project are an insult to the people. The developers claim that he is saving us from a commercial development is farcical. That corner is at the end of a dead-end road. It is not at the intersection of two principal roads. Commercial development there would be to serve the local community and beach goers, something that is more practical but not nearly as profitable.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners: I own a unit in Barefoot Pelican, which is adjacent to the One Naples Properties. Our owners were given the opportunity to vote their opposition/or favor to the One Naples Development. A positive vote of a majority was going to be rewarded with over $570,000.00 of perks to Barefoot Pelican paid for by an affiliate of Stock Development, according to the Board's letter. The vote came in at 32 owners in favor and 28 owners opposed (22 voted no and 6 refused to vote knowing their votes would count as a NO). This vote came in as such even after much solicitation and pressure from other owners as well as the Board. Commissioners, as you can well imagine, the shenanigans that have gone on between Stock Development and a few of the owners have caused a huge rift in our community. We now have people fighting with each other, law suits have been threatened, one owner was grabbed and almost assaulted by another. A couple of owners have told others they are planning on selling their units and buying into the One Naples development with hopes of a favorable deal from Stock Development in repayment for their efforts to swing the votes. One Naples as submitted will forever change Vanderbilt Beach. This will set the precedent for buying small tracts of land and building high-rises. I do not want this, nor does the rest of the Neighborhood. We do not want the Miami look at Vanderbilt Beach with stifling high rises build practically right on the sidewalks, shadows cast over everyone from the towers, and wind rushing down the street bringing sand, debris and trash with it. Our beloved Manatees in the Bay will be forever impacted by One Naples 99 boat docks with a fueling station and marine store. One Naples is a bad, bad idea for Vanderbilt Beach. There is nothing good for the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood. Tell Brian Stock that we do not want his Legacy Buildings because they will not be good for us. They will not be good for him either because, if he succeeds with this, it will be because his game has been flawed by the lack of principles and ethics that have been employed to garner favor for One Naples at the expense of our neighborhood, at the expense of my neighbors as well as all of us who truly love Vanderbilt Beach.

Dear Commissioner Solis: I do not know if you are familiar with an episode from The Odd Couple about assuming somet hing but it comes to mind. Even though I should know better, I did in fact "assume" you could not possibly support One Naples even as amended On the other hand, given this crazy pandemic alternate universe, I guess I should not be surprised if that were true, living in a community where something so simple & obvious as wearing a mask could possibly be controversial. I hope I am wrong about your support for this project even as amended. The main reason we bought our home in Naples Park was because we could walk or ride our bikes to Vanderbilt Beach. (We could not believe people ran to catch the sunset and then applauded). Our relatives were struck by the modest nature of the neighborhood but I would always say:" If the beach is good enough for the Ritz Carlton, it's good enough for us". Having invested considerable time and money in our home, we should be able to rely on the protections afforded by the zoning laws. Simply put, such changes as proposed by the One Naples project provide absolutely no benefit or improvement to our quality of life, individually or as a community. To the contrary, Stock will be getting rich at our expense. How is that fair or even possible? My mother has offered an explanation, (she is 87; lives with us; born & raised on the Brooklyn border;and has all of her marbles). I will not share with you her explanation on the way things work because it is per se slanderous. In my heart of hearts, I do not share her world view.

Dear Mr Solis, I am writing as a concerned citizen regarding the proposed One Naples project on Vanderbilt Beach Rd. I have owned property in Pelican Bay since 2004 and have watched how growth in and around our community has been reasonably handled. The One Naples project however is a stark departure from anything I have ever seen proposed and is a threat to our community - it’s quality of life, safety and the beauty that attracted me (and many thousands of visitors each year). If I wanted to live in Miami with high rises packed on top of each other and traffic that never ends I would have moved there. This project is too large and will create not only an eye sore but dangerous traffic flow and congestion. Even more foreboding, it sets a standard that will erode the essence of Naples. I urge you to vote no. Thank you for the countless hours of dedication you give to our community and for acting in its best interest.

Dear Commissioner Solis: Thank you for all the information in your newsletters regarding covid vaccines. Well done! Switching gears now to One Naples - I am a resident of Vanderbilt Beach in District 2. One Naples is wrong for Vanderbilt Beach and wrong for Collier County. It is wrong for Collier County to be giving Stock more than $4.3 million in land value through gifting him roadways so that he can violate dozens of our zoning and growth Management plan regulations. Its wrong to set this precedent by allowing Stock and future developers to totally obliterate the intent of the County’s Growth Management plan, Zoning Code, and Coastal Management Guidelines. The approval of One Naples, as proposed, will show that it’s business as usual in Collier County, with unbridled growth, and little or no consideration of current taxpayer and residents’ desires. Thank you for your consideration. Please vote No on One Naples.

I believe it will be a positive addition to the area and will greatly improve land that has been in poor condition for many years. This would be the best option to keep traffic to a minimum in the area versus the congestion that would be caused by a commercial area or shopping center on that land. I believe in responsible growth for Collier County and I think this project is the righ t choice for area beautification and minimal community impacts.

As our commissioner, we urge you to keep an open mind and carefully weigh the import of a project of such immense, incongruous and ultimately inappropriate size and proportion that it will change the coastal balance of Collier county and set an ominous precedent for the future of Vanderbilt Beach and every other coastal area in Collier County. We urge you to see past the cosmetic enhancements and enticing amenities that Stock Development will present in order to sweeten the deal for your vote in their favor. Past experience has proven that these promises always favor the developer, not the community at large. Please do not allow yourself to be swayed by these tactics and instead, vote in favor of our future without further exploitation.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner: I have attached a diagram that I prepared about the lack of consistency of the One Naples development with the Vanderbilt Beach Neighborhood. Basically, One Naples is pushing over the limit as to what is allowed and what will fit to be complimentary to the neighborhood. These buildings would fit better if they observed the correct setbacks and agreed to at least 25 feet around the whole perimeter of this project. This would naturally reduce the density and be more palatable to the neighborhood because it would not be the massive eyesore that we see in the plans. I have heard that he has a contract to purchase Daruma and I would imagine that some "horse trading" will ensue on Monday. I am thinking that he may be using Daruma to meet some open space requirements, but please do not let this negate the necessity for maintaining sufficient setbacks so that his buildings are not next to the sidewalk. None of us want this over-reaching development, no matter what incentives Brian Stock is willing to pay to get his way. He has to abide by the Zoning Law or he will not be the first to flaunt the Zoning with offerings of incentives and then, the whole Zoning will collapse as others rush in and purchase small parcels of land to build towers. As you have assured me, I know you will take into consideration the views of the public in this matter.

Dear Andy - We are your constituents and we are writing to ask you to Vote No to the One Naples project as proposed. The density of One Naples on its 5.4 acres is totally incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods in District 2. Mr. Stock likes to compare One Naples with Pelican Bay and its 2,100 acres, but this comparison is completely disingenuous. (See excerpt from fellow Pelican Bay resident Julie Wyman's letter below.) In addition, we are hard pressed to see how One Naples can be a success in a market that seems to be saturated and struggling to fill condominiums with better designs in Kalea Bay, Moorings Park, and Eleven Eleven Central, all of which are airing TV ads every day ad nauseam. We appreciated all you did to keep us informed of Covid vaccination opportunities, and we hope you will now do the right thing for District 2 and Collier County and Vote No to One Napes as proposed. Sincerely yours, Ben and Eleanora Ware 780 Bentwater Circle, #104 Naples, FL 34108 ******EXCERPT FROM JULIE WYMAN’S LETTER****** OneNaples is a total of 5.4 acres... of course that is only if Collier County 'gifts' Stock with .79 acres of taxpayers' roads. (Land valued at $3.4M) but for Stock.... PRICELESS! Pelican Bay is a total of 2,100 acres; 530 acres of which are designated 'green space' and 77 acres of which were given to Collier County: 1.69 acres for the Vanderbilt Beach Branch Library; 3.63 acres for the North Collier Fire rescue, Sheriff's Station and Emergency Services; 15 acres to create Pelican Bay Community Public Park with tennis courts, large open field, etc.; 40 acres of Clam Pass Beachfront which is now a Collier County Beach Park; 12 acres for Collier County Utilities AND ... at the end of Vanderbilt Beach Road -- 5 acres of a beautiful stretch of beachfront property which is now the famous "Vanderbilt Beach" which includes land for the parking garage! That's right, Pelican Bay owned this land and it is now "The People's Beach" and one of the most popular beach accesses in Collier County! Recently along a stretch of Vanderbilt Beach Road, Collier County, using tax dollars, extended existing bike lanes further Westward heading to Vanderbilt Beach! 11 All Pelican Bay towers and homes have private beach access.

As you know, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples is a neighbor to the proposed development; therefore, we have a vested interest in the property’s future.

I have personally had many conversations with Brian and his team over the past year plus and have every reason to believe that One Naples will be another iconic achievement for Brian and his company as well as for our county. The improvements planned for Vanderbilt Beach Road, as well as the intersection at Gulf Shore Drive, will benefit all those who enjoy this special part of Naples, whether residents, beach visitors, or hotel guests. Furthermore, the addition of landscaping, street lighting, and connected pathways will beautify a high-profile area that has been neglected for much too long. Recognizing that the current zoning allows for intense commercial development that would draw a tremendous amount of transient traffic, I believe One Naples is the best option for this site, and I applaud Brian and his team for creating a well- considered plan incorporating input from the community. I hope to join you during public comment at your March 1 hearing. Should I not have the opportunity to address you at that time, I wanted to be certain to share our strong support and to encourage you to approve One Naples.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, I am writing to you today in support of the One Naples project and ask you to vote yes on all items that will allow the project to proceed as planned. As a local business owner, I have had the opportunity to work with Stock Development over many years on multiple video projects. I know, firsthand, that Stock Development is an ethical company that truly believes in doing the right thing for the community, while developing quality projects and protecting the unique quality of life we are all so fortunate to enjoy here in Collier County. As someone who raised a family here, I have watched Collier County grow for over 25 years. Just like you, I want what’s best for the community. I want Collier County to continue to grow, ethically and responsibly and I believe that the One Naples project will contribute positively to that growth. I believe the opposition is being deceptive in their presentation of the facts about the project and the renderings they have displayed do not at all reflect Stock’s plans for lush landscaping and well-designed buildings that will blend right in to the area. Contrary to what the opposition has been saying, Stock has directly addressed concerns about traffic and I believe this is the best option to keep traffic to a minimum. In addition, the building heights have been reduced to levels that are lower than some of the neighboring condominiums. The “canyon of buildings” argument simply isn’t valid in my opinion. Finally, as a Hispanic American, I take personal offense to the opposition’s usage of terms like “Miami West” or “Miamification of Naples” in their advertising. In the past, I have heard people use terminology like this to discriminate against people of Hispanic or Jewish descent. Whether that’s their intention or not, it’s simply done in poor taste and does not reflect well on the people of Collier County. In the end, I believe that the One Naples project will create many good-paying jobs and it will be a good source of property tax income for the County. Thank you for your time and consideration. And thank you for your continued efforts to make Collier County a great place to live while protecting our unique quality of life!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner, I would like to address a matter that is of great concern to myself and to the residents of Collier County: The proposed One Naples project by Stock Development. In the case of Stock Development's application regarding One Naples, two related parts came before the Collier County Planning Commission. Part one was an amendment to the County's GMP in which Stock asked for the addition of a new Sub-District encompassing the 5.42 acres of his development. The purpose of the addition was to change the current regulations that limit the density allowed on his land. His request would double the density from sixteen dwelling units per acre, 87 units, to 32 dwelling units per acre,172 units. Without this change to the GMP, the plans that he presented in his rezoning application (part two) in which he asked for two 208-foot high towers, inadequate setbacks, several midrise buildings, and other considerations could not be approved. I was very disappointed in the outcome of the Collier County Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2020. The deadlock does not provide the County Board of Commissioners with any meaningful input. Hopefully, the County Commissioners have a “transcript” of the voting and discussions at the end of the meeting. The newer Planning Board members were not instructed properly beforehand on how the deliberations and voting would happen. Instead, Commissioner Schmitt quickly made a motion and Commissioner Homiak quickly seconded it, ensuring that a vote be taken and that no other motion could be made. The newer members thought there would be an opportunity to make a motion that would be more acceptable to the majority but sadly found out after the voting on the first motion that that could not happen. The point that came across clearly from the meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2020 was that the developer’s proposal is unacceptable. The developer falsely claims that they can only build the original plan. If not allowed, they will have to deal with the current zoning and they claim that is worse for the residents. This is not the case and is a poor attempt to get their plan approved. The developer can certainly build a scaled down version of their proposal. They can certainly bring the height and density within the current regulations and still have the same type of project. Yes, the land will eventually be developed by someone. But the development should fall within rules and regulations. We ask that Stock respect the existing zoning and his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan should be denied. Stock bought the land fully understanding the current zoning. He could have and should have asked for variances before he bought it. Stock is relying on previous situations that were voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. Stock is apparently so used to getting its way, that it just assumed that it could run over everybody in 30 North Naples. When Stock Development incentivizes the Barefoot Pelican Condominium Association with nearly $550,000 in cash & services to subscribe to Stock’s position, suddenly there are no boundaries for developers. If there is a resistance problem, they simply throw money at it until it is fixed to their satisfaction. The idea, apparently, is that everyone has a price. And we can expect more of the same with the Vanderbilt Palms Condo Association. Stock and other self-serving developers can not be allowed to buy their way into our neighborhood and completely compromise our quality of life solely for their benefit. This must stop. An approval of Stock’s plan would show that the Commissioners, at heart, have little regard for the will of the people, that they side with developers and endless unrestrained growth. Traffic will be increased on a road that already has traffic issues. Beachwalk Gardens has asked for a traffic light at their entrance due to traffic congestion and has been turned down. I have been told that the county states there are too many traffic lights already on Vanderbilt. So why are we considering increasing traffic and adding a traffic light for the Developer? We should deal with the existing traffic congestion issue first. The developer’s traffic plans create an undeniable surge in traffic on residential roads which are already dealing with traffic similar to Beachwalk Gardens’ where residents have to make a right in order to make a left. The drivers then have to turn around on Vanderbilt or drive through a residential area and up 91st. The developer claims that C3 traffic would be worse than their proposed plan. However, a plan that sticks to the height and density rules and regulations would drastically cut down on their proposed increased traffic. Approval of any plan in excess of existing buildings already in the area sets a precedent for all future building. Any future developer can, and will, ask for exceptions based on this case. The excessive height would become a new norm, or average, that would be used for comparison for future development. The developer’s height, set back, and density are double what is allowed. No exception should be made to such extreme violation of existing rules and regulations. The rules and regulations are in place for a purpose and should be adhered to. Changing the rules is effectively “spot zoning”. You will hear that spot zoning can only be brought up if a challenge is filed with the Circuit Court. That is the developer’s way to try to get the rules changed now so that they can argue that the defense of spot zoning does not apply since the new rule incorporates their zoning changes and allows their plan. Changing the rules so that spot zoning can’t be a future defense is unethical and should not be allowed. It is essentially spot zoning. One Naples is certainly not in the best interests of the residents or the county. It affects all of our districts. We ask the County Board of Commissioners to take into consideration the overwhelming opposition residents have to the proposed project as it stands now and vote against the amendment to the County’s Growth Management plan that Stock’s application seeks. At the November 5th meeting, only one resident voiced support for the project, and he was a restaurant owner and spoke from a business perspective.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. As a resident of the Trieste at Bay Colony, I am writing you today to state my opposition to the One Naples Development as currently proposed. The Trieste has 105 condominium units and has been in existence since 2001. Our building is located in Bay Colony within Pelican Bay. We are at the far north of Bay Colony bordering Vanderbilt Beach Road just east of the Ritz Carlton. The Trieste has been cited by the developer of One Naples as a comparable for the One Naples project because of our 20- story height. The focus on building height totally ignores many other characteristics that make the comparison completely inappropriate. As stated in the October 30, 2020 letter you received from Pelican Bay Foundation, “Pelican Bay was created years ago as a comprehensive, well-planned, mixed-use Planned Unit Development, and it is vastly different from the neighborhoods to our south, north, and east.” Specifically, in the case of the Trieste, our parking garage is set back about 85 feet from Vanderbilt Beach Road and, sitting on a 4.73 acre lot, our density is about 22 units per acre. By comparison, Naples One proposes a setback of only 15 feet from Vanderbilt Beach Road and a density that is about 50% higher than that of the Trieste. Most important, the Trieste dimensions are similar to those of the rest of the buildings in Bay Colony. In contrast, One Naples dwarfs the surrounding buildings in their neighborhood. The project is simply not compatible or consistent with the neighborhood by any reasonable criteria. When you also factor in the likely further overcrowding of Vanderbilt Beach, the significant increase in traffic, the added safety and evacuation risks and other adverse factors, it is clear why several thousand Collier County residents fiercely oppose the project. Finally, while I am not “ anti development” the precedent of allowing this type of zoning change can not be overstated. First there is the question as to whether such a zoning change that benefits one developer so much at the expense of the rest of the neighborhood is even legal in Florida. Finally, if One Naples is approved, what can stop the potential flood of similar requests by developers to build similar overcrowded facilities to the north up the Collier County coastline? In summary, I respectfully request that you deny the One Naples proposal as submitted. Thank you for taking the time to consider my position.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. One thing is perfectly clear, Collier County planning regulations mean absolutely nothing to the Stock Development plan. Collier County Planning Regulations are just something to abuse. With every single planning target, Stock Development leap frogs beyond “that number to suit their needs”; whether “building density”, “building heights”, “setbacks”, “traffic counts”; the numbers are set by the Planning Commission and ignored by Stock Development. We have lived in the Beachwalk Community for over 15 years. Even without Naples One in the picture, it is often extremely difficult to make a left turn out of Beachwalk, due to the steady line of traffic heading to Vanderbilt Beach, on Vanderbilt Beach Road. Now Stock wants to add 172 condominium units to the traffic mix. Don’t want to even think about it. There comes a time to say enough is enough. IF One Naples is given the “go ahead” from the Collier County Commissioners, then that building becomes the compatibility target for the next one — bigger and better than Naples One. Compassion for all current property owners, in and around Vanderbilt Beach, will prayerfully speak to the hearts and minds of the Collier County Commissioners as they prepare to vote on Monday, March 1. We ask the Commissioners to deny Stock Development the opportunity to amend the County’s Growth Management Plan that they are seeking. If the Commissioners could simply “place themselves” in an existing home, villa, condo, or community, as existing property owners that currently make up the Vanderbilt Beach area, there would be no doubt that they would vote to deny. Bigger is not always better. In this case, bigger is much worse! Thank you for listening.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Appreciate your updates on vaccine ability. I have shared your emails with my condominium neighbors, many of whom have signed up through your link. I would like to take this opportunity to express my strong opposition to amending the Growth Management Plan to suit the needs of one developer: Stock Developers in their One Naples project. In my opinion, this is fundamentally wrong and would set a dangerous precedent for decisions going forward throughout the County. Why have a GMP if your going to amend it at will rather than in an orderly manner through periodic and thorough review, data analysis o f county wide situation and both expert and community input. We have owned our condo for almost 40 years. Needless to say we have seen enormous changes in that time. For the most part I would say the County has done a very good job. But as I see it, the County is at a tipping point, particularly in the US 41 corridor. When does uncontrolled growth become a burden rather than an asset? When does development have serious infrastructure challenges that compromise quality of life for citizens..,such as traffic, safety forces, water and sewer, access to public beaches etc? Do not vote for the amendment. Work with the Vanderbilt area residents, the developer and follow the existing code to achieve an acceptable project for that corner. Thank you.

Share Tweet Forward 40 Hello Nancy, A quick update for the week ahead -- you may have already heard elsewhere in the media, but I wanted to share the Department of Health's FAQ on the delayed vaccine shipment, and its effects on their schedules. The current info is in the FAQ section below; I hope to get more information early this week. For all the retired nurses, etc., who have contacted my office wanted to volunteer to help with the vaccination efforts, the Florida Department of Emergency Management is ready to accept your help! Read more on that below, as well. With less vaccine info to share this week, I am glad to have a chance to share more about what's happening at your Board of County Commissioners (BCC)! Pre-Covid, this was the type of thing I most commonly shared via this newsletter -- I hope it is of interest to all the new subscribers. So, without further ado, here are the top 7 items we will decide at Tuesday's BCC meeting, based on what I think you will think is important to our community. You can click on the links to read more details: #7: Award the contract for the final phase of the Vanderbilt Drive Underground Utility Conversion. This project has been going on since before I was elected, and is finally entering its last phase. I know this will come as a relief for the volunteer members of the MSTU who have been working diligently on this, and to the affected residents. More on that HERE. #6: Set the place and time for the Clerk of Courts to open and count the mail ballots for the Pelican Bay Services Division Board. Spoiler alert: it's Wednesday, March 10 at 10:00 a.m. But you can reach more about it HERE. #5: Award a contract to restore the activity pool at the Sun-N-Fun Lagoon Water Park. Apparently it is in bad shape -- delamination of the pool interior is 41 creating a cut hazard, and while it has been patched a few times, it is ready for a complete resurfacing. Read more about it HERE. #4: Begin conversations about the budget for next year (yes, it’s already time for that). We will learn more about the effects of Covid on our county's finances, and set guidance for the other constitutional officers to prepare their budgets for submission later this spring. See more on this HERE. #3: Learn more about the potential for a Great Wolf Resort location adjacent to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex . People I know with kids have a lot of good things to say about these resorts and what a draw they are to a community. I'm looking forward to learning more; you can read the reports HERE. #2: Select a site to locate the Collier County Mental Health Facility. Most of you know that changing the way Collier County deals with our mental health and addiction needs has been a top priority of mine since day 1 of my service as a county commissioner. And many of you have told me that this item was a main reason for your support of the sales surtax passed in 2018. (More on the surtax coming in the next newsletter!) I am delighted to see this important project progress; more details are HERE. #1: Adopt an Ordinance creating the Palm River Sidewalk Municipal Service Taxing Unit to install sidewalks in the Palm River Estates community. Another project that has been around since my first year on the BCC -- this community has worked to build consensus around creating a special taxing unit to pay for a neighborhood sidewalk. We held a special virtual townhall to go over all the reasons why now is the time -- with an upcoming utility project in the community, there will be significant cost savings and reduced disruption to the residents. You can learn more about this project HERE. All these issues (and many, many more!) will be decided at the meeting of the 42 Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday., Feb 23, at the government complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East -- marked ‘County Admin’ on this map -- beginning at 9am. (The meeting begins at 9; we do not know when any particular item will come up.) As always, you are welcome to attend to participate (there will be appropriate distancing in place and masks are required), or you can watch it live online, or on your cable channel 97. If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. I always say it but it's true - I appreciate you reading and sharing the newsletter. Thank you! Please continue to be careful, enjoy this beautiful weather, and stay safe.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I want to voice my opposition to the One Naples project as currently conceived. My opposition is based on the following  These buildings do not conform to the proportions of the neighborhood. That neighborhood for which to compare this project is not Pelican Bay where the larger buildings are significantly set back and surrounded by protected lands and natural beauty. Instead, the neighborhood is Vanderbilt Beach where the buildings are closer to each other and therefore proportionately smaller. This project is not consistent with the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood.  Traffic on Vanderbilt Beach Road is already congested and this project will make it much worse. There will be more drivers cutting through Pelican Bay Boulevard, where speeding is a significant problem and the the development will make the roadway more dangerous for pedestrians and bikers.  Naples beach and surrounding infrastructure will be further overcrowded and taxed.  The negative environmental impact on the bay will be significant.  The development is not consistent with a prudent growth management plan Please vote NO for the One Naples development which will preserve the long-term viability of the surrounding neighborhoods.

In the interest of our residency as full time home owners in the immediate area of the possible upcoming project, titled Stock Development-One Naples, we are insisting that you vote in opposition to this project. By voting in the affirmative, you are ignoring the existing problems that currently confront the neighborhood surrounding the beach at Vanderbilt Beach Road. On many days all year round, the traffic backs up to Highway 41, also known as Tamiami Trail, and limits the neighborhood traffic from obtaining any easy access to the adjacent grocery stores, library, restaurants, fitness centers, barbers, beauty salons, movie theaters, immediate health care facility, and our homes. Our quality of life will definitely be impacted by this large development known as Stock Development-One Naples. Besides us as neighborhood dwellers, thousands of other Naples residents will also be impacted by curtailed and congested access to the Vanderbilt Beach access point. As a commissioner on the Naples Board, it is your responsibility to act in the best interest of your constituents and vote NO to this upcoming Stock Development-One Naples project. We definitely oppose this One Naples Stock Development and expect your negative vote on this issue, as well. Please act on our behalf and on behalf of the other Naples residents, visitors, and friends who frequent the area in and around this outrageously large Vanderbilt Beach Road project. By opposing the Stock Development-One Naples, you will give us proof that Florida law prohibits unlawful spot zoning, which we believe is identified in this proposed project in our backyard and neighborhood.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: On Monday, you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am strongly opposed to this project. No marina should be allowed in Vanderbilt Lagoon. How will up to 99 boat slips and a fuel dock affect water quality of Vanderbilt Lagoon? Water quality at this lagoon has been studied by Collier County and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida for years. The lagoon is polluted and lacks the amount of dissolved oxygen many organisms need to survive. It can’t flush the pollutants because its southern flow to Clam Pass was blocked by earlier development. This Lagoon is the southern termination of the Wiggins Pass Estuary. The Conservancy’s 2005 Estuaries Report Card for the water quality of Wiggins Pass Estuary was C-. In 2017, the Report Card for its water quality was D-. Ironically, the Cocohatchee River, part of the Wiggins Pass Estuary, is designated by the State of Florida as Outstanding Florida Water. This designation guarantees the water will have special heightened protection from pollution. The Army Corps of Engineers determined that Wiggins Pass Estuary warrants manatee protection. Management and protection for the manatees in Collier County are set forth in section 5.05.02 of the Land Development Code, titled “Marinas.” Section C of 5.05.02 describes a rating system to evaluate proposed marina facilities. The purpose of the marina site rating system is to determine maximum wet slip densities to improve existing manatee protection. In evaluating a parcel for a potential boat facility, a minimum sphere of influence for the boat traffic must be designated. As proposed, One Naples marina would exasperate pollution of the Vanderbilt Lagoon and create unfavorable conditions for manatees. Building this marina is belong.

The developer's request for amendments to the GMP are just unacceptable.

Seriously---he wants the commissioners to consider private pools and cabanas as "Open Space". What an insult to your intelligence.

Now, residents are banding together to clean out the rest of the junk dumped around their neighborhoods ahead of the event’s second week. “This place is so beautiful, we all live here because we love nature and we respect every single piece of plant and animal that lives here,” resident Sofi Bocque said. Last week, Bocque’s neighbor discovered illegally dumped construction debris and cow legs at the south end of 4th Street Northwest, near a canal lining Immokalee Road. “Keep your trash in your car, put it in the garbage afterwards. It’s not a big deal, it’s just easy, and keep our neighborhoods clean,” Bocque said. Incidents like this inspired the county to launch the free cleanup events. Last Saturday brought in more than 160 residents. “We filled up over five containers with construction demolition so quite a bit,”said Kari Hodgson, director of Solid Waste Management. Meanwhile, the county took to the streets to collect the trash after neighbors cleaned up the trail. Anyone who witnesses illegal dumping is asked to call 311. County hosts community Golden Gate Estates clean-up event NBC-2 2/19/21 63 Collier County Solid Waste is holding a neighborhood cleanup in Golden Gate Estates after complaints of trash piling up in the community. The event is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and again the following Saturday at the same time. Community members will have the opportunity to clean up their street and clean out their home, according to event organizers. This cleanup comes after trash was being left behind in the neighborhood including dishwashers, tools, boxes, shirts and more. Illegally dumped cow carcasses worry some Golden Gate Estates residents NBC-2 2/17/21 Neighbors living in a northeastern Golden Gate Estates neighborhood are concerned after a couple found illegally dumped cow remains. Monday afternoon, Missi Bellmande and her husband were taking a stroll at the south end of 4th Street Northwest. She said, “That area is a really pretty part of the estates.” The couple made a horrifying discovery as they approached the canal lining Immokalee Road. She said, “We saw two piles…it looked like construction debris dumped at the end of it. It was stucco-covered wood and boards with nails and stuff like that in just a bunch of black garbage bags.” Then something else caught their eyes just a few feet away. “I noticed the smell and I looked down and I saw a cow leg…like literally a full-sized cow leg,” she said. “I continued to look around the area and there was the hide and anot her leg.” Bellande worried the cow was stolen and slaughtered. The couple called 911. Investigators on scene determined the remains had been there for up to two weeks. Luckily they didn’t match the descriptions of any missing cows in the area. Meredith Budd with the Florida Wildlife Federation said more than just the cow was harmed here. “Decomposing bodies…decaying carcasses can cause bacterial contamination to our water, especially when you see it so close to our canal systems. That’s a human health and safety concern,” Budd said. Budd urges people to call your local waste management districts when unsure of how to get rid of something. Collier County Solid Waste Management is actively working to prevent incidents like this. On February 20 and 27 from 8 am to noon, the Tim Nance Recycling Center near the Collier Fairgrounds will take any clutter, including bulk items. Residents usually pay $12 per cubic yard. Collier County Guest opinion: One Naples has 'morphed from truly outrageous to simply atrocious' Naples Daily News 2/25/21 Brian Stock was given his opportunity, in this space, to present his proposed One Naples development to the community. I have respect for Mr. Stock and his company. He has done many good things. Sadly, One Naples will not be one of them. Mr. Stock compares his Vanderbilt Beach neighborhood project with the Ritz Carlton and the “luxury condominium towers of Pelican Bay.” He fails to point out that Pelican Bay is a 2,100 acre Planned Development, nearly 400 times larger than his own site, with extensive building setback requirements and more than 500 acres of open space. It is true that One Naples, as currently proposed, has changed significantly from its original design. It has morphed from truly outrageous to simply atrocious. Stock seeks a density of up to 172 residential units in a coastal high hazard area where 87 are permitted. He seeks building heights of 186 feet where County Planning staff has stated that 76 feet is compatible with the neighborhood. He seeks fifteen-foot setbacks to a wall 35 feet high stretching more than 700 feet along Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive. Setbacks to his 186-foot towers range between 25 and 30 feet where the requirement is for 93 feet. He seeks to count second floor private amenities such as swimming pools and cabanas as a significant portion of the required open space. True, he offers to provide numerous area improvements, traffic lights, bicycle paths, etc. But these come at the cost of destroying a neighborhood. And who really benefits? Just Stock, himself, and 172 new condominium owners. 64 Lately, Mr. Stock has been taking out advertisements promoting One Naples in the same way that his opinion piece did. Does he “protest too much?” If One Naples were the wonderful development he describes, would such advertisements be necessary? Would he have to offer a nearby condominium project inducements valued at over $500,000 in order to solicit a letter of support? Recently, Save Vanderbilt Beach and other neighborhood groups have sponsored a “Growth Management Survey” to determine community attitudes toward growth and development throughout Collier County. As of this writing 2,125 responses to the survey have been received. More than 92% of them have called for County Commissioners to deny the amendment to the County’s Growth Management Plan (GMP) that Stock seeks. These numbers fly in the face of Mr. Stock’s statement that he is “encouraged by the many who enthusiastically await our project.” If constructed, One Naples will be a disaster for Vanderbilt Beach. It will mark the beginning of the “Miamification” of the neighborhood. No longer will future developers have to point to Pelican Bay to justify their too dense, too tall, aspirations. They will simply have to point to One Naples to make their case that their design is compatible and complementary to the area. County Commissioners meet on March 1 to consider Stock’s requests. Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc has been joined by the Vanderbilt Beach Residents Association, the Naples Park Area Association, the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, the Collier County Presidents Council, and thousands of others throughout the County in demanding that the Commissioners deny Stock’s request to amend the GMP. Will the commissioners be deaf to the demands of their constituents as they have many times in the past? If so, watch out, Collier County, you are on your way to becoming the Miami of the west coast. Buzz Victor is President for Save Vanderbilt Beach, Inc. New park could be a safe place for Collier County families during pandemic WINK News 2/20/21 Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park is planned for the area near the Collier County fairgrounds. Families are hoping it can be a safe place for children to stay active during the pandemic. Plans for the park include fields for recreational sports, an outdoor gym and an aquatics center. Another addition in the park is especially for kids. Parents say this is the perfect time for a park to be built in the community. “It’s pretty cool,” said Jennifer Borges’ son. “It looks nice,” And kids aren’t the only ones excited about the new Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park construction in Golden Gate Estates. Daryl Digirlamo says this will be a good experience for his kids. “We’re excited just trying to give my kids that experience I had growing up,” he said. The parents are happy as well. After being cooped up in their homes for so long because of the pandemic, a new park is a perfect and safe addition to this community. “It’s kinda cool to be free and get back to some normalcy out there and be able to play,” Digirolamo said. “They need it. He just went back to school because we’ve been at home doing the homeschooling thing, but they need an outlet,” said Borges. The $45 million project will have not one, but four soccer fields, a community center, a dog park, two softball fields and a pool. “I think it’s going to be great. We definitely need something for the youngsters in the community out here in the estates,” Borges said. Parents are also thrilled that the park will be close by so they can take their children. They say this is something Golden Gate Estates is lacking. “As the city grows and expands out this way, it’s cool to bring parks we would probably have to travel in the city for,” said Digirolamo. You can already see that the construction process is in full swing. The county says the north end of the project is set to open in April and the south end of the park should be open by July. Rural village proposal on Immokalee Road draws concerns Naples Daily News 2/18/21 65 Developers of a potential rural village off Immokalee Road in Collier are asking the county to change a portion of a rural growth plan, drawing concerns from environmental groups and those opposed to development in the area. The county’s planning commission unanimously voted Thursday to agree to the changes. The amendments will now be sent to the board of county commissioners for approval, a process known as transmittal. Edwin Fryer, chairman of the planning commission, said after voting that he will, at a later date, drill down on issues he sees so the public can understand what is going on. “I’m going to vote in favor of this because there has been sufficient public speaking against certain aspects of it so it will have to be considered by the board of county commissioners, not on the consent agenda but there will have to be a hearing,” Fryer said. The proposal outlines a potential village containing up to 4,000 residences with areas set aside for commercial and civil development. The area to be developed would be just west of Everglades Boulevard on Immokalee Road. Richard Yovanovich, representing the developer, said the changes are needed for any type of village to occur. “We are coming through with certain tweaks because in order for a village to occur there needs to be tweaks. Otherwise it makes no economic sense,” he said. The developer is a partnership linked to Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene. The proposed area for development is under the county’s Rural Fringe Mixed-Use Development plan, originally created to discourage urban sprawl and protect wetlands and wildlife. The plan uses a credit system designed to protect certain areas from development while allowing developers to exercise their rights. The area, called the Immokalee Road Rural Village Overlay, has been in the works for about two years, Yovanovich said. “Candidly, if we don’t get transmittal we just need to stop and not spend anymore,” he said. “We started this about two years ago and are at a point where we need to know if these tweaks will be supported by the Board of Collier Commissioners.” Local environmental advocate groups have been in talks with the developer in hopes of having wildlife crossings put in and certain habitats created. The boundaries of the proposed area contain both primary and secondary Florida panther habitat. Meredith Budd of the Florida Wildlife Federation said it’s apparent that panthers are being struck and killed by cars just west of the proposed village on Immokalee Road. “That’s not only an issue for wildlife, but there are human safety issues as well,” Budd said. “It’s a relatively high-speed road and hitting a bear at that speed is certainly a human safety concern. A large crossing, preferably two, really need to be considered and planned along this segment of the roadway.” The area is surrounded by already preserved lands to the north and west, so wildlife will persist in those areas. Budd said it’s critical that the internal roadways of a potential village also include traffic calming measures such as reduced speeds and speed bumps. Planning commissioner Joe Schmitt asked representatives of the developer if wildlife crossings would just bring large mammals into residential areas. Environmental consultant for the applicant, Andy Woodruff, said the lands panthers used in the area have already been chopped up because of development activity around the proposed site, so it’s basically a dead end for them. Woodruff said there’s a concern that crossings would funnel panthers into the Golden Gate Estates just east of the proposed development site, but the developer will continue working with local groups on the matter. Should panthers be evicted for new community in Collier County? WINK News 2/18/21 Development vs. wildlife: Should a 1,000-acre town be built east of Golden Gate Estates in Collier County? Those living in one community are in an uproar because protected Florida panthers already live there. Rae Ann Burton describes living in Golden Gate Estates as an escape. “The reason that people moved to rural Golden Gate Estates is to get away from the city, from the noise, from the pollution and from the crimes.” But she’s hearing more construction noise than ever before, and she fears for endangered Florida panthers – and her quiet lifestyle. “I have seen more traffic going up and down my dead-end street than I have ever seen and they’re constantly building up.” 66 Burton went to the Collier County Planning Commission meeting on Thursday to speak against the Longwater Village development. Plans right now include 2,600 homes and 90,000 square feet of office space and government buildings, all just east of the Estates in what’s known as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) along the Desoto Boulevard/Oil Well Road corridor. April Olson, an environmental planning specialist with The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, worries what the project will mean for the panthers by “replacing essential habitat … with homes, cars and businesses.” She says the design doesn’t fit the RLSA. “All of these developments that come forward are supposed to be walkable, they’re supposed to be self-sufficient, they’re supposed to planned smart growth.” But developer Collier Enterprises says the Village will encourage biking and walking, and include services and goods for all in the area to enjoy. Burton doesn’t buy it. “Our property should not be destroyed for the rights of the developer.” The Collier County Planning Commission will discuss the project in their March 4 meeting. If approved by them, it would go in front of county commissioners. Developers say the project would be finished in 12 years, if approved. Beyond Failing Fort Myers wastewater system could cause major sewage spill WINK News 2/17/21 Fort Myers leaders have learned the equipment inside the City’s wastewater system is failing, which could lead to a catastrophic sewage spill. This comes after Mayor Kevin Anderson and Fort Myers City Council were already dealing with more than $500,000 in fines due to Florida Department of Environmental Protection determining the City failed to address previous sewage spills. The mayor did not hide his feelings during a public meeting at city hall. He asked direct and pointed questions to the man in charge of the city’s public works department. The State DEP said Fort Myers was responsible for 70 different spills, many of which ended up in our waterways. “Are we OK to think that there are no pumps out there ready to go?” Anderson asked. “No. I cannot say that,” said Richard Moulton, the director of Fort Myers Public Works. Anderson and council also learned for the first time the City has paid outside company Siemens AG millions of dollars since 2016 to maintain its water system, a system now determined to be failing. “How likely are we to face a catastrophic failure at one of our plants,” Anderson asked? “In general, are we in the face of a failure because of the systems that’s installed and not being maintained properly?” “We’re in the process of replacing all these,” Moulton responded. “I understand we’re in the process, but are we at risk of a major failure at one of these plants?” Anderson asked. “I don’t know the answer to that,” Moulton said. The city engineer was asked similar questions and shared a similar response to the public works director. “Again, I will ask the members of the council, how many of you were aware that this problem even existed?” Anderson said. The answer was none. Mayor Anderson and Councilman Fred Burson have placed blame on the city manager for both problems. “There was an issue with the DEP that we needed to negotiate,” City Manager Saeed Kazemi said. “It doesn’t matter if there was an issue,” Anderson said. “I requested rightfully so a document, and I was not provided it.” At first Councilwoman Teresa Watkins Brown supported the city manager at the onset of the wastewater management issues, saying he’s not intentionally gong around the city and bursting pipes. But when she learned about the City paying a private company to maintain the water plants, she stopped. Mayor Anderson wants an independent investigation into the City’s wastewater management. 67 Under Florida Law, e-mail addresses are public records.

This project should not be allowed to go thru - it will destroy the uniqueness of the area and limit beach access.

It makes no sense.  The project is totally incompatible with the neighborhood (in North Naples). It would add hundreds of residents near a public beach, significantly increasing traffic and parking problems in an area already highly congested area.  Traffic backup and spillover into adjoining streets would jeopardize walkers and bicyclists and hamper emergency rescues.  The Collier County Planning Commission refused to endorse the project.  What’s the solution?  Reduce the size and scope of the project, as spelled out by county staff.  The Collier County Presidents Council, representing some 20,000 doors in the county, urges the County Commission to send the One Naples proposal back to the drawing board.  (This letter was written for the Presidents Council.)

Commissioner Solis, I wanted to express my appreciation in advance for your time and attention to my concerns regarding Naples One development as proposed by Stock Development. As a commissioner of Collier County your ability to impact my quality of life is significant. You also have a duty to protect it. As a Board Member of Naples Park Area Association and 20-year resident of Naples park, I have lobbied against this project from its inception 4 years ago. It violates all the tenets of the zoning laws that are meant to protect the quality o f life and culture of our community. There is no benefit to the community from this project. I realize Stock has a right to develop the parcel they have assembled. I am supportive of a development that complies to all current (2019-2020) county and local growth management policies, zoning, and regulations (i.e., no variances). Allowing Developers to write their own land amendments gives them free range to dismantle all the safeguards the State and County has put into place I am asking you to enforce the current land management regulations. Vote NO and DENY both applications from Stock on this One Naples project.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Solis, I am a resident of your district. I was drawn to this particular location for the access to the natural beauty to be found along our shoreline. Before we purchased our condo on Pelican Isle we had rented for several years at the Regatta on Vanderbilt Beach Road. We loved being able to walk a few blocks to the beach. I was appalled to learn of the proposed One Naples project. It is completely out of scale with the neighborhood. It was obvious when I lived nearby that the site was ripe for development. It seemed that a few low to mid rise condo buildings would make sense, as well as some boat slips. Perhaps some small shops and casual dining options would be welcome additions to the neighborhood. It seems that the One Naples developer is asking for varianc es that are unacceptably out of synch with the area: the minimal setbacks, lack of green space and tremendous number of units will be unattractive and put too much traffic on that street. Also, if there’s a fuel dock associated with the boat slips there needs to be more consideration of the impact on the environment before approval. Although I live a couple of miles north of this proposed project it will have an effect on the beach I go to and on the traffic in an already congested area. I hope you will vote NO next week. This project needs to be changed significantly before approval is granted.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Collier County Commissioners, I am a resident of the Trieste condominium located within the Bay Colony Community of Pelican Bay and have been so for eleven years now. Quite candidly, I am surprised that the Trieste was permitted to be built so close to Vanderbilt Beach Road when first constructed in the late 1990s. It does loom a big large over most of our neighbors. At least there is a large set back from the road, extensive landscaping and a light at the intersection of Vanderbilt Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road. And it does NOT mandate a bottleneck or constricted point. Over these past eleven years of living at the Trieste I have witnessed a steady increase in the amount of pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic along these two roads. Sidewalks are narrow where they are present, which is not everywhere, and lumpy in places. Many families seek free parking outside the of county parking garage and push their strollers, pull their wagons and coolers and hold the hands of their elderly and children while walking towards the beach. They walk for exercise, to visit a few small local restaurants, to visit the beach and to view sunsets en masse. I encourage you to come and take a look around any day of the week at any time to see for yourself. My primary concern and driver for my opposition to the development of One Naples as currently proposed is safety. This area is a narrow corridor with many people at all hours of the day. It is also a drag strip late at night for fast car racers. It is also in a coastal high hazard area which portends the possible overload of traffic during evacuations. The addition of 172 additional residential units as planned for One Naples will only exacerbate an already dangerous situation. No one is guaranteed a view of the Gulf. We all know this. The Stock development as proposed seeks exemptions from far too many current permitting and growth management plan provisions, issues obviously at hand when Stock purchased the parcels of land on which to build their One Naples dream. The issue is context. The drawing Stock Development is showing of One Naples in the newspapers looking from south to north from the Bay Colony Contessa condominium to the LaPlaya Hotel and Beach Club is so very deceiving. This speaks volumes to me. Deceptive behavior bodes poorly for a well-received development. Look around the immediate area where Stock wants to build their One Naples. It dwarfs the immediate community. And a 35-foot tall wall abutting Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive with only a 15-foot setback is insulting. Please understand that I would like to see these parcels of land developed in context with our neighbors in Naples Park, Gulf Shore Drive and the Regatta. I recognize that Stock builds a good product. BUT I don’t believe that their current proposal is the solution. Please deny their current petition and ask that they go back to the drawing boards. Surely there are many more creative and responsible options available to them to consider. Your vote on March 1 will set a very important precedent with regard to growth management. I look to you for leadership to keep Naples a beautiful option to so many waterfront Florida cities where massive concrete towers prevail. Naples deserves better. 77 Thank you for your work on behalf of the citizens of Naples, Florida. I am grateful to count myself amongst them.

As a courtesy I am copying the other four elected officials, along with my clients. Finally, please note that these are development performance standards and not overall ordinance conditions. For example, from a review of the proposed MPUD ordinance and other documents I did not see a prohibition or restriction of constructing one massive tower on Tract MU One. This was a commitment made by the Applicant's attorney during the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing in response to an Anthony Pires question and concern. That commitment was to tie the One Naples illustration plan (the plan with the footprints and the basis for the landscape architecture plans) into the regulatory structure and ordinance. So obviously, that will be required by the Applicant and Staff. October 2020 Original Staff Minimal Recommended Conditions w./No Optional 15-ft Setback 1. Maximum building height for all Tracts is 76 feet zoned, except that Tract 1 can be increased to ±125 feet zoned height if step back architecture is used for the upper floors of buildings. 2. Minimum Building setbacks for all Tracts is 25 feet. (no optional 15-ft setback) Additional Regatta Condominium Association and Save Vanderbilt Beach coalition (in response to staff claw-back) 3. Mimum 25% Open Space as per code definition and to include common open space (no rooftop open space). 4. Limited access for Vanderbilt Beach Road Project gateway; i.e., right-in/right-out.

Dear Commissioners, I am writing to very simply let you all know that I oppose the One Naples project as currently proposed. I sat on a planning and zoning board for over a decade in another state, so I understand your difficult task to balance responsible development with local interests. One Naples, however, is not responsible development. The project is vastly over scaled for both the specific site and general location. The concentration of buildings and height of the towers is wrong for the area. You do NOT have to change zoning to fit a developer’s requests, in fact your responsibility is to the existing citizenry and the specifics of the site. I am not opposed to all development on the site, in fact a lower density and mid- rise only development that matches the scale of the surrounding neighborhoods north of Vanderbilt Beach Road, and which contains some restaurants and retail available to the public, would be an appropriate and welcome development for that site. Please vote to deny the application as it stands.

Dear Commissioner, On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it and to urge you to vote NO to this proposal. This neighborhood is really a community and you only need to drive or walk through on any given day to see people out walking their dogs, biking, strolling the beach, and generally enjoying the ambiance of a smaller community within Naples. During the high season, the numbers swell with most residents and their guests enjoying the area, however you only need to drive down Vanderbilt Beach road on a weekend or during the busy season to see how overloaded the area becomes. Too many cars crowding the roads that are lined with residents walking and biking make it particularly dangerous and the beach becomes way overcrowded. The cars line up down the road, the garage closes, and the stress on the area is quite apparent. Last year-in an unusual situation, during the Co-vid shutdown of the beach, there were many residents already here, and then came an onslaught of people from other areas in the state when we opened and they were still closed. And though it was awful it served to warn the residents of how it could be all the time if this plan is allowed to go forward!! Obviously you know that as our beaches were briefly opened and then promptly closed again. The crowds became too large and unruly, leaving the area overcrowded, with the crowds leaving much trash all along the beach and private property when they left. On the beach side of our building, we had numerous incidences of people entering private property to relieve themselves and disrobing to change into street clothes because they didn't want to walk to the public restrooms or didn't want to wait in line to use them. We hauled in and threw away clothing, trash, bottles, cans, coolers, tents, etc that beachgoers left after a day of overcrowding on the beach. The trash cans at the public access areas were also overloaded and insufficient. I believe that the facilities that are available to the public in our area were designed built to manage the crowds that come for the MUCH of the time based on the amount of land and space that are available. BUT, they are STRESSED at ANY PEAK period of use. That does not include just the highest weeks of "spring break" but also most weekends and holidays. Putting this large of a residential project in that place is absolutely wrong for the area. I do not object to a smaller project that could enhance the area. I walk to all of the local restaurants and amenities in the area and love that it is so pedestrian friendly. That is why we invested money into buying a property there. Putting these tall buildings in this area and also adding so significantly to the traffic , overcrowding on land and also the increase in the number of commercial docks will absolutely overload this neighborhood and the quiet lagoon and endanger the peace and tranquility of the bay as well as put the local residents and wildlife in danger. THIS PROJECT IS WRONG FOR THIS COMMUNITY ON SO MANY LEVELS! The zoning was put in place for a reason and there is no reason to change that now just because a developer has made a bad investment decision. I believe that possibly you intend to vote in support of the Stock amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I urge you to reconsider and do what is best for our community and the citizens that you serve. I know that there are other possibilities that could be undesirable—and that is a concern to the neighborhood too— however the density of the proposed residential units and the also the heavy development of the dock areas are just too much for this little corner of the community. I know that you have commented “Be careful what you wish for.” he is 87 saying that the residents of the neighborhood don’t know for what they are asking. I assure you that they do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning and they also see on a regular basis the days when the area is overwhelmed with traffic and pedestrians trying to enjoy the area which i s limited in space and amenities and is unable to handle the heavy loads of visitors. This proposal would make that a regular occurrence instead of a surge occurrence. One Naples is not simply a District 2 issue. Its approval would send a message that for the Commissioners, unmitigated growth is “business as usual,” and the they have little concern for the “Miamification” of Collier County. It would represent the long-held pattern of the Board of County Commissioners supporting developers over neighborhoods. That must stop! I am asking you to vote to deny Stock’s proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you or anyone of the commissioners whose job it is to protect their constituent's interests.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s applicatio n for One Naples. We are writing you today to express our strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Our first visit to the Naples was in January 1980. We spent 2 weeks in a condominium at Vanderbilt Beach. We've continued to visit and stay at Vanderbilt Beach each year until 2004. We have seen many buildings go up during the past 24 years and have always been concerned about the non -stop development which has obstructed views of the Gulf, increased crowds on the beaches, and increased car and truck traffic. As we've walked and biked along the street we have often felt unsafe because of the amount of traffic. Although there are posted speed limit signs, there are many drivers (in particular vendors, workers, visitors) who ignore posted speeds. The proposed development will only make this area more unsafe, overcrowded, create more pollution and increase the cold feeling of a cement urban jungle which is even more visually unappealing. In 2019 we bought a condo in North Naples near Wiggins Pass to be fairly close to Vanderbilt Beach so that we could continue to enjoy the area as full time Florida residents. We chose not to purchase directly in the Vanderbilt Beach area because of the existing density of the buildings and traffic. We ride our bikes through the area and enjoy spending our time walking the beach at Delanor Wiggins State Park. We're not opposed to re-development of some of the smaller old retail buildings and perhaps older condominium buildings that aren't in good condition. It would be ok to see a small number of low rise buildings not on the waterfront to obstruct views. The area could also use a few small retail establishments and restaurants. We won't be there on March 1st for the meeting as we will be out of town. But we really hope that you will do the right thing in stopping this outrageous Stock plan. It's really a pretty sad situation if the Collier County Board can't say no to this proposed plan. Please do the right thing. Thanks very much.

I look out at the Kalea Bay buildings on Vanderbilt Drive and they are out of place for the area. I don’t have a problem with the density of the units, but the building heights should have been limited to that of their neighbors to the North and South. Keep up your good work.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, We are opposed to Stock Development’s One Naples high-rise project because it fundamentally disregards the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Land Development Code which residents and neighborhoods rely on to protect our quality of life and home investment. For this reason, and for the reasons outlined below, I am asking you, as a County Commissioner, to DENY the proposed GMP amendment. As a member of the local community, I fully understand that in doing so, the property will retain its current C-3 zoning, which will provide much needed walkable and bikeable neighborhood services. Stock’s proposed amendment doubles density in the coastal high hazard zone and paves the way for the rezoning request that doubles allowable building height, reduces setbacks by 70%, and cuts in half required open space. The project is not compatible with, or complementary to, adjacent comparable neighborhoods. One Naples will introduce a Collins Ave., Miami Beach-like development into the Naples Park, Gulf Shore Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road communities. To avoid this outcome, the Commissioners must deny the GMP amendment. Acknowledging this extreme and radical departure from the type of development allowed under the GMP, approval of this project would provide a rationale for future too tall, too dense, irresponsible projects to continue to alter for the worse existing neighborhood character throughout Collier County. Should you see fit to approve the amendment notwithstanding the outcry from thousands of community residents, Collier planning staff, in considering the rezoning request, has recommended approval of the project but conditioned to make the buildings better fit the neighborhood. Staff proposes limiting the height of all four building to seventy-six feet. With a redesign option of the towers, setting back higher stories in a “wedding cake” fashion, staff would allow a height of one hundred and twenty-five feet (60% of the 208-ft request). Staff also recommends a front setback of 25-feet for all four buildings, rather than the 10-ft to 15-ft setback that the Stock plan is based on. Additionally, it recommends allowing a front setback of 15-feet for the two towers based upon a site plan redesign that provides retail services along Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive. Although the Naples Park Area Association, the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, the Vanderbilt Beach Residents 99 Association, Save Vanderbilt Beach, and other communities can support staff design conditions, given the transformative nature of the project even at the reduced scale, the better approach is to deny the project outright. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am a longtime Florida resident of the Beachwalk community (since January 2005) located along Vanderbilt Beach Road. We are just west of the Pavilion shopping plaza and across VB Rd from the north end of Pelican Bay. I am 'okay' with residential development in the area that Stock is talking about....BUT LET US BE REASONABLE...the density and height must fit the area. Stock's examples of "comparable" high rises is a crock of shit; Stock references the Ritz Carlton and Trieste. Do you see the setbacks and surrounding green space around those two high rises? There is lots of it...there is NONE of that with Stock's plan. Stock should maybe get approval for a townhouse setting type development, 3 to 5 stories tall...AND NOT ON TOP OF 2 STORIES OF PARKING. I'm talking a total height of 5 stories. If they can't make that work, then forget granting them any variances. The area is zoned commercial; residents of the area would be good with a few more restaurants and services. Stock threatens that commercial development is going to generate more auto traffic...BALONEY. Those new commercial establishments will be supported by the existing beach visitors and the residents of the area; most of whom will walk or bike to the restaurant.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr. Solis, Please don’t be swayed by a big development corporation that wants to change the footprint of the Vanderbilt Beach area! Over 10 years ago I was fortunate to purchase a small condo not far from where the One Naples project is planned. As much as I loved coming down to enjoy the beaches and wonderful lifestyle of Southwest Florida, I could never stay for any long periods as I still worked. At last, I have now retired and can look forward to extended stays with friends and family. The only problem is this large scale development that threatens the natural beauty, peace and resources of this area. The very thing that convinced me to use savings and buy a slice of “heaven” is now in danger of being taken away. I don’t see how this project will benefit anyone in the long term except the people involved in its over development. While I count myself fortunate to even own property in this location, I must object to such major construction that will forever change the landscape. Believe me, I live in downstate New York and know what over development looks like. Once you go there you can never go back. I implore you to continue your good stewardship of our town and protect our habitat! Thank you for making the right decision to best serve the people, wildlife and resources of Vanderbilt Beach.

Dear Collier County Commissioners, As a full time resident of Naples since September of 1999, as well as a business developer since March of 1983, I wanted to let you know that I am 100% fully supportive of Brian Stock’s One Naples project. As the third employee of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, I was here for the groundbreaking of The Ritz-Carlton Naples and subsequently was part of the development, operational staffing and training of this iconic Hotel. Since that day of groundbreaking, circa April of 1983, I / we have wanted a premier residential next door neighbor on the site in question , which is exactly what Brian Stock has planed in the One Naples Development. I should also mention that over the past 20+ / - years I have gotten to know Brian very well and I am personally thrilled that Stock Development purchased this very difficult and awkward site and has come up with a beautiful residential plan for the neighborhood. Brian did this through the countless neighborhood meetings by listening to the public, modifying his plan and to do the right thing for the neighborhood. How many developers do you know that has had so many community meetings , listened, learned & reacted to the concerns of the neighborhood. The answer is very few developers would have been so accommodating. I very much hope that you take this support from a person that knows a lot about product & service excellence and know, that I believe in Brian Stock, I believe in One Naples as the right product for North Naples / Vanderbilt Beach Community and I believe this premier development will serve our community well .

The vote of the Board was inconclusive as a tie vote. Had all commissioners been allowed to vote the recommendation would have been disapproval.

I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop!

Commissioner Solis, Thank you for your Newsletter which has provided information about access to vaccines, and for your passionate interest in Mental Health which is of such importance to all of us. However, we have not heard anything from you about One Naples. Obviously, all of the information shows that the covenants and codes have not been followed, the mass is not in keeping with the neighborhood, the current owners have been thrown into terrible stress over all of this, even losing friendships over it, and it will cause the worst, most dangerous traffic situations and the overcrowding at the Vanderbilt Beach area will incite confrontations over parking and access. Also of great concern is the terrible invasion of the lagoon and it’s existing sea life. All of this is due to this developer’s greed. It is the wrong place for him, the wrong time for him, and no one is going to forget this travesty if it passes. NO MATTER WHAT OTHER GOOD THINGS YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR TERM, YOUR LEGACY AND REPUTATION RIDE ON MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION WHICH IS TO VOTE NO ON ONE NAPLES. HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

It is wrong to allow major variances to dozens of regulations in the County Growth Plan, County Zoning Code and Coastal Management Guidelines. 2. It is wrong for the commissioners to give land valued at more than $4,000,000 to the developer. 3. It is wrong for the commissioners to set future precedent by voting to approve a project with so many major variances. 4. It is wrong for the commissioners to ignore the will of their tax-paying constituents. It would be right for the developer to come back with a plan that addresses the concerns listed above.

I feel late to the party but having just watched the save vanderbilt beach video of the proposed development I was horrified at the design of 35’ walls around both major street front -assuming that is a valid rendering that is one of the ugliest things I have seen. I think there should be small commercial outlets facing both streets and not a concrete wall. I am generally pro development but as described that proposal cannot stand in my opinion They did mention in the video a more terraced alternate approach which may be worth considering but I cant really comment until I see it.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners The County Government Website says it best: “The Board of County Commissioners serves as the governing body of the county and has the responsibility of setting policies that protect the health, safety, welfare and quality of life of our residents and visitors. “ It further goes on to list the vision, mission, and values of the county: Vision To be the best community in America to live,work and play. Mission To deliver high quality, best-value, public services, programs, and facilities to meet the needs of our residents, visitors, and businesses today and tomorrow. Guiding Principles (Values) Honesty, Integrity, Service, Accountability, Quality, Consistency, Respect, Knowledge, Stewardship, Collaboration, Self-Initiating, Self-Correcting Take each one of these key responsibilities - health, safety, welfare, and quality of life - that the commissioners and the county should be taking into consideration in any project or matter that comes before them. Hold those up against the proposed One Naples project and you can instantly see how this project violates everything that the commissioners should be standing for. Let’s take a look at them one by one: Health - with so much development crammed into 5.4 acres, increased traffic to an already overcrowded beach, significantly increased boat traffic on the small residential canals nearby, and the removal of “green space” how is the health of the residents in the neighborhood and the county being cared for? If anything, the increased pollution, traffic, noise, stress from congestion, higher density on the beach will most certainly negatively impact the health of surrounding residents. 134 Safety - traffic on a road that cannot be expanded will increase no doubt. The people who already enjoy the beautiful walk or bike along the roads in the area will now be in much more danger from this increase. In addition, with so many more residents and only one nearby fire and safety facility and not forgetting the congestion, response times during peak times of the year to emergencies could also significantly impact the safety of the community. Not to mention, cost the county significantly more to increase services. Welfare - if you are looking for happy residents and visitors, the last thing you want is to antagonize them with congestion, pollution, and unsightly developments with little green space that simply do not fit into the surrounding community. What are the benefits to the developments and current residents in the area? How does it benefit the residents of the county who will now have even more crowded beaches? It’s certainly not economic progress, or expanded restaurants, shops, entertainment that the area is currently zoned for that would bring long term additional jobs to the area. People bought in that area with full knowledge of what could be done in the surrounding area. That’s what great county planning is all about - letting people know what they are getting into when they invest in a community and trust that their investment is sound - not devalued by pulling the rug out from under them with a drastic change like One Naples. It simply is not going to make anyone in the area happy. Quality of Life - why has Naples constantly been rated by numerous sources as one of the small towns to live in the country? Because of its quality of life! Naples is not Miami - with high rise after high packed into small footprints, traffic congestion, and sprawling development. Communities in Naples have to date been carefully planned and executed according to well thought out longstanding zoning. Why change now? To make a corporation significantly more money? Once the dam is broken there will be no excuse for developers to not “redevelop” Naples into Miami as the opportunity arises. The attraction of people to Naples because of its small charm and beautiful neighborhoods will be gone. Having previously lived on the other coast for 10 years, and now in Naples f or over 10 years I can tell you I breathe a sigh of relief every time I return from the other coast, and thank God that I live in Naples - not Miami. So, commissioners, I ask you - how are you going to honor your responsibilities to the citizens of Collier County? If you don’t see by the 1000’s of emails, letters, and other communications from concerned citizens who are your bosses and do not understand how you can not see the detriment this development does to the values that we as citizens of Naples & Collier County hold so dear, then you must be living in an alternate reality. And no doubt at the ballot box you will be swiftly brought back to the true reality of what your constituents desire. What you do now will not just affect this one development, but has the potential to radically change Naples for all time. Is that the legacy you want as an elected official? Is that what you want for your children and grandchildren? Is that your vision of how “to be the best community in America to live, work, and play”? Actions have consequences. Make sure your action is to stop this development that goes against all the responsibilities and policies you are sworn to uphold as a county commissioner and instead hold true to the vision for Naples & Collier County to be the “best community in America to live, work, and play”.

Dear Commissioner Solis On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development. I know that this development is not in my District, and that everyone generally tends to vote with the Commissioner in whose District the project lies. Residents of your District have overwhelmingly shown their opposition. I believe that you intend to vote in support of the Stock development. Are you getting a kickback? Shouldn’t you be voting the was those who elected you want you to vote? One Naples is not simply a District 2 issue. If the Commissioners approve One Naples you are sending a message that you don't care about overdevelopment in Collier County. Naples/Collier County is turning into another Florida east coast. We don’t need another condo building in that area. The Commissioners are ruining the Naples beauty that we moved here for. You're paving paradise and putting up parking lots, strip malls, more condos & housing developments, etc. You are supporting developers over what residents want. That must stop! I am asking you to vote to deny Stock’s proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. For too long and for too often voted Commissioners have allowed developers to call the shots over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. City of Naples is letting Hoffmann & Phil McCabe and their money run the city…getting amendments to building codes to suit their needs….ruining the true beauty and charm of downtown Naples. Some of this development needs to STOP NOW and start with voting NO to Naples One!

As usual, just sending my thoughts your way for your consideration, in this case One Naples and my associated NextDoor Naples post. For some perspective, would folks think a colossus like this would belong in a place like Central Park in NY or Boston Garden? The scale of this project is totally out of place for the neighborhood, which is already seasonally overwhelmed. The property is incredibly valuable, but a ~5 acre plot here simply can't be overwhelmed by something on the scale of the Wizard of Oz. Stock is a stellar company in SW Florida, but the current proposal is simply an attempt to maximize their questionable investment on a tiny plot at the expense of others who have lived here for decades. Our family has been a long time 20+ year visitor/owner/resident in Naples Park and simply stated, this project as proposed will simply overwhelm the area and send a bad message for future developers, who hope to skirt zoning requirements *after* the fact. Although we don't have any direct involvement with http://www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/ (which my wife and I have monetarily supported), we agree with their mission of 'responsible development' and hope you have had an opportunity to review their shared opposition. That said, please feel free to reach out to us anytime, good, bad or indifferent.

Stock should be making huge concessions just to have a scaled down project. That is what the Pelican Bay developers did. I bike through that already difficult intersection all the time, and it is no place for a massive development. I kayak in beautiful Vanderbilt bay or lagoon, and public access must continue.

Andy / Penny / Rick /Bill / Burt - I am another concerned resident of Naples and specifically Naples Park. I moved here primarily due to the casual and down to earth nature of Naples. It is a place where you can walk, ride a bike and live a simple life. We have zoning regulations for a reason and I expected our commissioners to uphold those when I moved here. I frequent our beaches which Vanderbilt being the most prevalent. The local businesses currently on the Vanderbilt corner are what we cherish about our place in Naples. We don’t need anything with all the cement and a “Miami look-alike” building or two in that area. I can’t imagine purposely adding a traffic conundrum to that vicinity. Be true to yourself and our residents. Let that property be used for the purposes as it was zoned. Those that bought property in that area shouldn’t be sold out. They put a lot of thought and money into their purchase and in the name of progress should not have to give up their dream. Stock’s dream is not their dream or mine. This should be the easiest decision you should ever have to make in your career as a commissioner. Hands down a NO. It should never have gotten to this point because Stock showed their wallet. No pipe-dream plans should have been drawn up and shared when they couldn’t be backed within legal guidelines. Rules are not made to be broken and let’s not have this become our new standard.

I have owned a condo at Regatta Condominiums for 20 years and have hoped for someone to come along and clean up the eyesore to the west of me. When it was announced that Stock had purchased the parcel, I was elated! I immediately requested a meeting to see what was planned. Brian Stock and his assistant Keith met with me and shared to overview. What a beautiful project. I then called a buddy who does virtual reality, to see the impact of my view. Virtually no change. I only have one kitchen window that faces west. Yes, I will see the building from that window, but no others. In fact, in all units in 400 flagship, only 2 stacks will have their kitchen window impacted slightly. The 02 and 03 stack. NO other units will even see One Naples from their Lanai. I have been harassed by fellow owners who live in buildings 2, 3, 4 and 5 to support their efforts to stop this development. They have treated to make life rough if I do not fall in line. What kind of world is this? This cancel culture must stop. These owners complain about everything. My only concern is traffic. Right now, it is very difficult in season to exit Regatta.

Specifically I am wondering if, after public comment has closed, and before or during the Commissioners’ discussion, you as Chair, can move for a vote to deny or approve the GMP amendment. The thought would be that this should take place before there is a discussion about the road vacation and zoning. If the discussions get mixed up together, the fact the negotiations about the site’s heights, setbacks, open space, etc. are taking place makes the tacit assumption that the GMP amendment will be approved. On the other hand, if the GMP vote takes place and two of you vote to deny, there is no need for further discussion. My guess is that, if Stock sees that there is even a possibility the the vote to deny might succeed, he will withdraw the application, again meaning that the zoning discussions are moot. I’d love to get Jeff’s thoughts about this to be sure that it doesn’t put you in any sort of difficult position. Thanks, Buzz Buzz Victor 5650 Greenwood Pl. Bl.

I can’t imagine the additional traffic our small beach area will endure with the approval of One Naples. When is enough, enough? There are plenty of beachfront condos both in Vanderbilt Beach and all the way through Venetian. We do not need more to congest the evacuation routes, restaurants, drug stores and grocery stores. With the other RLSA developments, developments off of Livingston and down at One Naples, we are growing much too fast versus smart growth. I sit on the board of the Conservancy of SW Florida, and while we have our hands full on many issues right now, let’s not add more to the problem. Our water and the red tide and blue green algae continue to be concerns, surely we don’t needs thousands more in our area adding to the collapse of our delicate infrastructure. I learn much about the studies that occur with growth management and this one just seems too intrusive. Sure, they asked for 18 or more stories. That was all their ploy so they could say they’re compromising down to 11 (?) stories which might have been their end goal in the first place. Surely we can see through their tactics. N From the roads, traffic lights, schools, to the modest size of Artis Naples, Mercato and many other reasons people flock to our area, adding more congestion will turn our attractions into cluttered spots to avoid until season is over. I’m here year round and enjoy Naples off season, but I don’t want to be banished to just my club, Bay Colony, and my deck during season because everywhere else is just too congested and busy and no longer enjoyable.

The purpose of this E-mail is to make a final attempt to convince you how important it is to show Collier County residents you represent their best interests and not those of developers. First, I would like to thank each of the Commissioners for taking the time to listen to the thoughts of the Pelican Bay Property Owners Association which represents about 12,000 residents. Add our numbers to those residents in surrounding communities who will be negatively impacted by a yes decision and you probably have over 25,000 residents who want you to represent them and vote NO!!!! To support my statement, I can share with you that of all the meetings, discussions, surveys, we held on One Naples, only two folks believed this was a beneficial project for the community. We are now at the point where the general community believes this project is not compatible with the rest of the community, is really spot zoning, when the area calls for keeping the commercial zoning in place.

Dear Commissioner Solis: Once again , I am making my voice heard on important issues affecting our beautiful Collier County and the lovely quality of life we enjoy here. I have been a land owner in Naples & Collier County since 1985 and a legal resident of Florida and of Pelican Bay since 1998. Please do NOT, I repeat do NOT, vote to approve the One Naples project. I have read many articles and letters against it as well as Brian Stock's PR & marketing for it. It really boils down to who follows the rules and who does not. The Planning Commission does NOT support this project as it violates MANY of the codes...codes which were established for the well being and quality of Collier County. This is one of the main reasons this area is consistently ranked at the top destination in surveys. It is what separates us from our neighbors on the East Coast. I am sure Brian Stock is a nice person and his company has been developing here for some time. That has nothing to do with approving this project. It is way too dense for the area it is proposed for. Last weekend I had company who drove down Vanderbilt Rd from The Pavillion shopping center to enter Pelican Bay. When they finally arrived they spoke about the backed up traffic on Vanderbilt Road and how long it took them to make their turn. This is already a heavily traveled road which is always problematic in season with high traffic volume. Parking for the Vanderbilt Beach is very limited and difficult to access at this time. There are SO MANY reasons to veto this project. And Stock's influence & profit is the only one positive factor in the equation. Wrong Project in the Wrong Area !!! Follow the thousands of voices of your constituents , follow the advice of your Planning Commission and follow the history of quality requirements for our community. Vote NO, NO, NO for this project.

Thousands of Collier County Residents Do Not Want ONE NAPLES! Why is This Decision So Difficult For Our Commissioners? One Naples is not a Collier County District 2 issue, nor is it a Vanderbilt Beach/Naples Park/Pelican Bay/Pine Ridge/Parkshore issue. It is a Collier County issue. Once Stock Development obtains approval for a project that violates and ignores many codes, covenants and rules, changes the character of an entire neighborhood, and the result is totally inconsistent with the surrounding area, they and other developers can do it anywhere simply by saying that there is now a precedent. Collier County in its entirety is at risk if this Commission approves this precedent setting, code and covenant ignoring mistake. Here are some community comments, articles and videos we have been receiving feedback daily from the community. Interesting... the only comments that even come close to being favorable to this project are, "you cannot stop progress," and an opponent expressing his opinion in unbecoming language said,"property values will go up." Two comments out of thousands that expressed some support for One Naples. Here are few excerpts from the letters we have been getting from you: 156  Jane shared, "I truly find it amazing/unbelievable that any commissioner would even think to bail out a single developer to the detriment of an entire community. "  Bob says, " For them the project is a business deal, nothing more. For us, the residents and property owners, it is an existential and long- range threat to the look, the feel, and the functionality of the entire community."  In a fantastic letter, Tricia writes, ... " I don't think enough has been said about the boat docks/marina. I worked at Laplaya Beach resort for 24 years and have since retired 2 years ago. I can't tell you how many times I retreated to the Bayside to take in the active dolphin and manatee population frolicking in the bay waters. I can't imagine what the boat traffic will do to the water quality with gasoline slicks, litter and noise. It would ruin the entire peaceful bay that now exists. I hope the commissioners make the right decision. Lived here since 1992 and they never seem to make choices except to continue the destruction of our once beautiful fishing village."  Condo towers near beach too large The One Naples project, a massive development proposed for near the shoreline, is a recipe for disaster. Current plans call for crowding five residential buildings, two of them 186-foot towers, into a tiny 5.4-acre parcel at the foot of busy Vanderbilt Beach Road. It makes no sense. The project is totally incompatible with the neighborhood (in North Naples). It would add hundreds of residents near a public beach, significantly increasing traffic and parking problems in an area already highly congested area. Traffic backup and spillover into adjoining streets would jeopardize walkers and bicyclists and hamper emergency rescues.The Collier County Planning Commission refused to endorse the project. What’s the solution? Reduce the size and scope of the project, as spelled out by county staff. The Collier County Presidents Council, representing some 20,000 doors in the county, urges the County Commission to send the One Naples proposal back to the drawing board. (This letter was written for the Presidents Council.) Dave Trecker, North Naples  SaveVanderbiltBeach Director, Betty Pircio sent a video message to the Collier Commissioners.

My husband Joe and myself are totally opposed to the travesty called one Naples and cannot understand why this project is still under any consideration for approval. It will cause way too much dangerous congestion to an already overcrowded area, ruin any nature that still exists, pollute the bay, make the traffic in the area ridiculous, and pose an obstacle for any emergency. Other than money in the pocket of the developer there is no benefit to this project as it exists. Vote NO to it and preserve Vanderbilt Beach as well as the rest of Collier County.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Solis The question often asked is why are people opposing One Naples. The answer is actually two-fold and easy. People do not like change, especially now with all the out-of-towners buying in Naples. But the decision is not that as easy. First, improvement of the 5.4 acres is a good business decision. While revenue is good for Collier County/North Naples, at what price glory or considering a risk vs benefit analysis. Secondly, look at what Stock has proposed, even as it has been cut back, which is still too much for the size of the property and its location. Third, the one lane east and west to the beach and to Tamiami Trail can handle be handled now, consider what Stock's proposal will do. Not only for the North Naples residents but for anyone traveling along Vanderbilt Beach Rd. to the beach, to Vanderbilt Beach Rd and north, and to Vanderbilt Dr. That road is a nightmare at various times of the day. Stock has not agreed to pay to widen the road, they just buy off some locations. Why not the Ritz which will be impacted. Third, we all know that dozens of cars per hour will cut through Pelican Bay to avoid Tamiami to get into Naples and shopping. Nothing has been offered to Pelican Bay. Pelican Bay Drive, with all of its bicyclers riding every which way at all hours will present a potential serious accident scenario. Such selectivity, lack of residential concern and willingness to pay for upgrades for the benefit of North Naples would irk me if I were a Commissioner. I hope you see the issues and problems and are likewise, irked.

It also would seriously overtax the infrastructure of the area...traffic, roads, beach access. It is unattractive and has elements like a walled prison.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. ommissioner Solis, I am opposed to One Naples because I believe it changes the nature of Vanderbilt Beach to a degree that makes it unrecognizable. It takes this wonderful local beach town and turns it into a segregated high end community. It makes a shared historic beach area a private escape. If I want to see impressive private escapes I only have to head over to Pelican Bay. Do not allow the wonderful public areas of Naples to be privatized. I ride my bike almost every day to this area and walk on the beach and I fully enjoy the local small town feel. I hope you do not think I am opposed to all development and redevelopment. I only question the commissioners continuing ignoring the current zoning by making every new community an exception to the rules. This area is in need of an upgrade, however we should keep it within the scope of our original zoning so that this area continues to be available to all. Naples does not need higher densities of people. high density redevelopment is an even bigger sin than overdevelopment going on in East Naples. You are one of the people that has the ability to make sure the beauty of our North Naples community remains available to all. The commissioners keep ignoring density limits in our zoning. Individually your studies show these do not affect traffic flows. Collectively these additional people and cars are causing more and more traffic. I can see the day where my 2.5 mile car trip to the beach will take more than 30 minutes. Please stop destroying our beautiful community. Money is not everything. Sunsets are for everyone, not just the weathly! More is not always better.

Dear Commissioner Solis: As a resident of District 2, I cannot understate my strong feelings against the 'Naples One' project. Anyone who has access to this area–and we see the back-and-forth movements of these people each and every day–will attest to the fact that this project is totally wrong! The only benefactors are the builders of this structure. It is difficult for me and for many of the other residents to understand why the Commissioners would even consider this project. There are so many reasons why it is totally wrong for the area. How many high rises does the area need? What about parking? What about the sewer systems for all of these units? What about additional crowds on the beach? Certainly the area in mention could do with some updating, but not the total destruction of what has always been a wonderful community of people who walk to the beach every day to meet friends and watch the sunset with their families. The is a space where one can view the sky and the ocean, as opposed to looking at another wall and a skyscraping hotel. A hotel where the above the garage pool, exclusive to residents of the building, is considered as "open space"! How can the Commissioners, in good conscience vote for such a project. not to mention the changes in zoning that are being requested! Please, please, do not vote to accept 'One Naples' for Vanderbilt Beach and Collier County ! This project is neither compatible nor consistent with the existing neighborhood.

I live in the area and I am watching all of the activity surrounding One Naples. While I am concerned about density, you should know that there are a large number of residents and homeowners who actually DO support the One Naples project and development. I happen to be one of them. I believe in balance when it comes to development and I think unreasonable development is not a good idea. By the same token, I believe that unreasonable voices opposed to One Naples are equally destructive and detrimental to the area. The entire SAVE VANDERBILT BEACH mantra needs to be permanently shelved. Vanderbilt Beach will be fine. In the same way your Pelican Bay community of rich snobs exists, other developments should be allowed to flourish. The idea that development is for a select few to the exclusion of others is downright silly. I have often thought how nice it would be to bulldoze Pelican Bay to the ground and return it to nature for example. However, I know that is about as ridiculous as this notion that somehow One Naples is going to bring calamity upon the area. Rather than take an unreasonable stand and oppose One Naples, why not embrace change and development next time you take that stage to speak your mind? I will be at the next meeting and I will stand in support of developing One Naples. I hope you will join the growing community of residents that are cheering on this project.

One Naples A Subject to Discuss that Affects Everyone If the Collier County Commissioners approve One Naples as proposed, your community orneighborhood may be next. We’ve learned some things throughout the course of trying to prevent this One Naples tragedy. One of the biggest takeaways is that developers know no limits when it comes to getting their way. When Stock Development incentivizes the Barefoot Pelican Condominium Association with nearly $550,000 in cash & services to subscribe to Stock’s position, suddenly there are no boundaries for developers. If there is a resistance problem, they simply throw money at it until it is fixed to their satisfaction. The idea, apparently, is that everyone has a price. And we can expect more of the same with the Vanderbilt Palms Condo Association. One Naples is proposed for 5.4 acres of land in an already congested area at the intersection of two busy streets that cannot be widened. Remember, this is two 14 story towers, 3 five story residential buildings, 10,000 square feet of commercial space, up to 99 boat slips with a ship's store, gas pumps and tanks, rest rooms and parking, all jammed onto 5.4 acres and ... virtually right up against the sidewalks! Oh yes, there are setbacks, but no where near what the codes and covenants require. It’s the “canyon effect” for sure, Miami Part II. If Stock is allowed to do this to the Vanderbilt/Naples Park, Pelican Bay/ Parkshore and Pine Ridge communities, Stock and other self-serving developers can buy their way into your neighborhood, too, and completely compromise your quality of life solely for their benefit.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners: My wife and I are NOT FL residents; rather, we annually visit for the month of February and bring along many family/friends to The Regatta, just a few blocks east of the proposed development. None of us have any involvement whatsoever with the developer of One Naples nor have we been asked by anyone living at The Regatta or in the Vanderbilt Beach Drive neighborhood to speak for or against the proposed One Naples development. Since “tourists” play such a major role in Naples , we thought you might be interested in what some “outsiders” think of the current dispute. The only information we have is the following material printed in the Sunday February 21, 2021 Naples Daily News: 1) Brian Stock’s Guest Commentary on Page 5B, and 2) the Save Vanderbilt Beach group’s commentary on page 21A. Here are our thoughts: A. Effect on Existing Neighbors Since sunsets are so prized in Naples, we would expect that most existing building owners in the neighborhood are upset that their view of the Gulf is about to vanish. The only way to completely solve that problem is to prevent any development from exceeding one single story … certainly an unrealistic “solution.” At some point, that land is going to be used for something. B. Growth Management Plan Presumably, some governmental organization spent a lot of time discussing what parameters to use when deciding what could be built where. It sure sounds like the One Naples development significantly violates the current GMP. If that is so, then what is the rationale for creating a GMP in the first place? C. Naples is simply BEAUTIFUL Over the years as we have traveled around the Naples area, we continue to be amazed at the many, many beautiful developments. We (and our friends and family) continue to return because of that beauty … the lush, open spaces that provide a sense of grandeur. Has anyone mentioned their thoughts about what it will feel like to walk/drive/bike down Vanderbilt Beach Drive if One Naples is allowed to proceed in its current form? Please remember that while hundreds may live in the immediate area, many thousands more will walk/drive/bike down Vanderbilt Beach Drive. It sure looks like those humans will have to deal with a 15-20 foot extended, flat concrete wall that will closely border Vanderbilt Beach Drive and Gulf Shore Drive. Where else in the City of Naples have you allowed that to happen? Our point is that instead of focusing on the height of the buildings, attention needs to be given to the very human “boxed-in” feeling that accompanies a walled-in compound. Whatever is done inside the compound to make it appealing will have NO impact on the thousands of people who daily will travel along the street because it will be 15 or so feet above their heads/cars/bikes. Finally, at first we had no idea that the DaRuMa restaurant and several of the existing condo buildings will remain inside the walled-compound. Is there an architect in the world who would willingly group those existing buildings together in a new development? Furthermore, it is hard to imagine how 5 more buildings can be constructed in that space without everything feeling that it was “shoe-horned in.” As currently proposed, the One Naples development will cheapen, not beautify Naples. Thanks for listening! 192 Joseph J.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Hello, Andy. I am writing again to ask you to deny the changes that would allow the One Naples residential project on Vanderbilt Beach Road. The issue is bigger than District 2. Many Collier residents spend time on Vanderbilt Beach or at Delnor-Wiggins State Park. This development will profoundly change the character of a neighborhood that provides TWO public beach access points for Collier County and make it much more difficult for all Collier County residents to enjoy our lovely beaches. The only roads that intersect with Gulfshore Drive along this beach are Bluebill and Vanderbilt Beach Road. These roads are already near capacity and the provisions to mitigate traffic promoted by One Naples are unrealistic. Commercial re-development of this corner is appropriate. It has always been commercial and redevelopment as commercial will benefit the neighborhood and our visitors. The owners in my building are not swayed by the bogey man of commercial development that is presented by Stock development. We feel that commercial development is the better choice for our quality of life. We would not mind more restaurants and shops within walking distance, with adequate onsite parking.

For numerous reasons this project is wrong for Vanderbilt Beach and for Collier County. 1. It is wrong to allow major variances to dozens of regulations in the County Growth Plan, County Zoning Code and Coastal Management Guidelines. 2. It is wrong for the commissioners to give land valued at more than $4,000,000 to the developer. 3. It is wrong for the commissioners to set future precedent by voting to approve a project with so many major variances. 4. It is wrong for the commissioners to ignore the will of their tax-paying constituents. It would be right for the developer to come back with a plan that addresses the concerns listed above.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis , I have lived in Naples Park for 5 years and have actively followed the Stock Development proposal since I attended the Ritz Carlton event in May 2017. Since then I have read the application components submitted to the county, followed comments by county planning staff, read the county planning staff reports, attended the NIM, met with Brian Stock personally as President of Naples Park Area Association three times, and attended all three days of hearings with the Planning Commission. I have learned alot about the development application process as a result of this interaction and my concern for the meaning of the Growth Management Plan continues to escalate. I acknowledge Stock Development altered their original plan but the remaining application remains inappropriate. I strongly object to changing the Growth Management Plan simply to satisfy the desires of one developer when it will have a significant negative impact to the nature of a shared resource in the county in order to reach a certain desired Return on Investment. When Stock bought the property he knew the zoning and its requirements. The property can be nicely developed in many ways, including offering his specialty---high end housing---but at a substantially reduced density., He made clear in our discussions that he could not reduce the density further below the current application. If the ROI is insufficient when accomplished within the current Growth Management Plan and zoning constraints, it is not the problem of the neighbors or the residents of the county to change the Growth Management Plan to meet the ROI needs of the developer. If the Board of Commissioners insists on allowing a change to the Growth Management plan, then it is imperative to follow the guidance of the county planning staff and require the developer to meet all the conditions they set forward in their report so that the impact of the project is somewhat mitigated. If we choose to ignore county planning staff and the clearly stated opinions of a large number of county residents I fear the following: 1) The One Naples towers will quickly become the SHORTEST towers in the neighborhood as current buildings are "refreshed". 2) The One Naples development will stall mid-stream when sales don't develop as planned---the pool area and workout area seem insufficient to attract high-end buyers who will not be interested in sharing the beach with the current crowds nor deal with the current level of traffic in the area. We will end up with a larger problem at that site than we have now. 199 3) The Growth Management Plan will be seen as something that is readily gutted and has little meaning. The growth of Collier County will be unbridled and make the county less desirable for current and future residents and businesses. Thank you for reading my input and considering it as you deliberate this question.

Commissioner Solis, My wife Ellie and I are writing again in continued opposition to the One Naples project. We have been regular visitors to Beachwalk and Vanderbilt Beach since 1987, homeowners since 2010, and full-time residents since 2018. Apart from the distressing increase in traffic that will occur on Vanderbilt Beach Road, we are even more upset by the overall density issues and lack of setbacks the development proposes. The corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive – and the beach – already exceed practical density, and that was with just a parking garage and public restroom. Adding five residential buildings and commercial space will ruin the neighborhood. Isn’t that the purpose for having the parcel not zoned for this kind of project?

Commissioners I have written before and I will again, because this subject is so close to my heart. I’ve been a resident of Naples Park for 33 years and have enjoyed the neighborhood, not gated community, way of life. Our neighborhood is friendly, with a great variety of people living here. We have young couples, lots of children, professionals working all hours of the day, the elderly, the physically challenged, dog walkers and bikers. We are a neighborhood. The parcel of land that One Naples is planned for is part of our neighborhood. I found a printout from 2001 titled “Toward Better Places”. The community character plan for Collier County Florida. This study was produced by a combination of Community Design, Transportation & Greenspace Planning, Implementation, Public Outreach. It’s amazing the plan they saw for future Collier County. It was approved by all county commissioners. It states the greenspace looks at creating a continuum of parks, natural lands, and linkages, supplemented by strategies for improving country parks and PRESERVING NATURAL HABITATS. It goes on to say spaces between buildings are as important as the private spaces inside and neighborly arrangements impart an enduring image of beauty. Make better use of remaining vacant acreage before ALLOWING NEW DEVELOPMENT. Respect environmentally sensitive places. What happened!!! Have you lost all respect for the residents of Collier County, rubber stamping developments, destroying everything nature has to offer and what we moved down here for in the first place. This development is nothing but a developer making a grab for all the money he can get. You don’t have to be part of his greed.

What will more building do to the Gulf. We have such a delicate Ecco system as it is here in Florida. Drinking water is a major concern. The quality and the quantity is in trouble. On Vanderbilt drive the traffic now is much too heavy for a neighborhood . With the Kalia condos the traffic is dangerous with cars and bikes. It is difficult to walk on the sidewalk because cars going around bikes using some of the area before the sidewalks. Bikes on sidewalks makes it difficult to walk. And dangerous for bikes on the street with no bike path. People from Kalhia have to use Vanderbilt to go to the grocery and pharmacy, as well as the beach. Vanderbilt is as busy as 41 now. On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am writing to you with great urgency to encourage you to vote against the Stock Company's planned project on the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive. I feel strongly that this is the wrong project for this location. The current plan violates several current zoning restrictions: Height restricted to 50 ft, Stock proposal is 186 feet Density limits capacity to 87 units, Stock's proposal is 172 units Set back restricted to 50% of height at 93 feet, Stock's proposal is 31 feet. The fact that Stock Development has now offered a significant payment to neighboring Associations for their vote to support his project is morally unjust. The Stock Corporation has developed many lovely communities in southwest Florida. In the past they have been good corporate citizens and a generous community partner. However, this project has given them a black eye. They have continued to ignore the comments of the local citizens opposed to this massive development and have only made minor token changes to their plan. The Vanderbilt Public Beach at the corner is already very busy with car and pedestrian traffic along with limited parking. The traffic and parking will become a nightmare with the added occupants projected to live in Naples One. The congestion will negatively affect the quality of life and property values of those of us that already live in the area. Please listen to the voters that have opposed the scope of this project from the beginning. I urge you to vote against Naples Onel.

Dear County Commissioners: One Naples will negatively affect the heavily congested Vanderbilt Beach collector roadway, already having difficulty handling its existing peak hour traffic. Steps from the public beach, it will only serve to exasperate existing road-pedestrian safety issues with overpowering structures, short setbacks, vacation of right of ways, less parking and certainly less compatibility with the immediate surrounding public environment. Stock Development's revised petition with 2 – 16 story towers is still incompatible with the local environment. County staff do not agree that a ‘reduced’ tower height of 208 ft is justified and in keeping with neighboring structures. Please listen to your County staff! Stock fails to acknowledge that they are encroaching on setbacks, sidewalks, right of ways, and don't compare at all to other hotels in the area. Nor are the other hotels so close to the pavement or at the entrance to the public beach! We need you, as our elected Commissioners to be ‘for the people’ and part of the solution. Every decision has consequences that affect the future of Naples for decades to come. Granting deviations will only allow future developers to come along and argue their project is similar to what the Commissioners allowed and everyone can get waivers of right of ways and setbacks. Please! This project doesn't belong right across from our parking garage and scarce access for the residents to the beach! Better plans with less density need to be forthcoming.

February 20, 2021 The Beachwalk Community of 356 dwellings is the largest community fronting on VBR (Vanderbilt Road) half way between Hwy 41 and the Gulf Shore Drive. We have lived here for 20 years and seen major traffic and noise growth coupled with unsafe exit to VBR. There is only one exit, and turning left is extremely unsafe especially during the winter season. Major concerns are also with how this Stock development can flout GMP and LDC requirements: 1. We object to the zoning density of this proposal: 87 units per code, Stock wants172. Zoning setbacks require 50%, 2 towers require 93 ft. Setback Stock wants31 ft. for 3 mid rises requires 38 ft and 43 ft, Stock wants 15 ft. 2. Open space requires 30% open, Stock includes major amenities (pools, cabanas). 3. Zoning requires compatibility and consistence with the existing neighborhood. 4. Traffic issues not addressed. TSI has not considered the Beachwalk Communit y and the nearby communities of Naples Park and Pelican Bay. Transportation has not considered seasonal traffic, emergency exits, or growth from beach traffic growth from Collier east. 5. VBR is currently considered a near failing road (category E) and will surely fail with the proposed increased traffic from Stock and Collier growth. Conclusion: Let’s us keep the current C-1,2,3 zoning even if there is some additional traffic (which is doubtful). It would better serve the community than Shoehorning the proposed monster development Into this small corner. “There is no, planning when a commission can arbitrarily change Zoning and Growth management policy to approve these variances which also conflict with safety, community rights and common sense.” Michael Seef Tel: 239-596-9135 236 SolisAndy From:Susan Eckert <info@savevanderbiltbeach.com> Sent:Sunday, February 21, 2021 12:05 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:Vanderbilt neighborhood EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

February 21, 2021 Dear Mr. Solis, My husband and I have had a residence in Pelican Bay since 1986, and, in 2015, became Florida residents. Over the years we have obviously seen remarkable growth in our area. The majority of communities within Pelican Bay exit their neighborhoods onto Pelican Bay Boulevard. In season, it can take as much as 4-5 minutes to get onto the Boulevard at various times during the day because of heavy traffic. The roadway has become a cut through for drivers avoiding the lights on 41, both north and south. Additionally, pedestrians cross the Blvd at various points along this roadway to head to the beach or walk along the Pelican Bay Berm. Although Pelican Bay Boulevard is a 4-lane roadway (2 southbound lanes; 2 northbound lanes) two of those lanes are dedicated for cyclists, essentially rendering the Boulevard a 2-lane road. To date, we have not seen a traffic study that has addressed this fact. Pelican Bay Boulevard was intended to be a community roadway within the Pelican Bay community -it was never intended to be a major thoroughfare. I have witnessed car and bike accidents on the Boulevard over the past several years – a concerning situation that will only become even more so with increased traffic from One Naples. Impatient drivers heading east from One Naples to 41 will avoid traffic lights on both Vanderbilt Beach Road and 41 by either heading through neighborhoods in North Naples or onto Pelican Bay Boulevard. The One Naples Development will forever change the complexion of the Pelican Bay community and the neighborhoods of North Naples. The increase in traffic will certainly have a negative impact on the neighborhoods’ quality of life, and, additionally, on our property values. We have witnessed the tremendous growth that has occurred in Collier County for over 30 years, and the changes in zoning that have allowed more development to take place. At what point does this seemingly unstoppable development render Naples no longer one of the most desirable places to live? The One Naples property should remain commercial. Thank you.

Collier County Commissioners: We are sending this email to formally request the Collier County Board of Commissioners to approve the proposed residential development at Vanderbilt Beach known as One Naples by Stock Development. We have been visiting Collier County every year since 1986 and have owned property since 2001. We are now and have been full time permanent residents in Collier County since 2005. We kindly request your support for this project for reasons that include: 1. The condition of the properties at this location has been an eyesore for too many years. This area of Collier County draws more residents and tourists due to its proximity to the beach so it should be the county's highest priority to improve it. 2. We have reviewed the renderings prepared of the proposed development and believe this amenity will increase the value of the neighboring residential buildings. 3. There are existing taller buildings within the immediate area so it will fit in nicely to its surroundings. 4. Traffic flow and pedestrian/bicycle safety will be enhanced (Ralph is a local civil engineer and therefore qualified to make this statement). 5. If the zoning change to allow this residential development is not approved, a commercial development will likely be constructed that will bring more traffic than a residential development. We believe this is not an appropriate location for more offices, restaurants, etc. 6. We believe Stock Development has done their homework and listened to the community as evidenced by the significant compromises it has made from its original proposals. 7. Our understanding of the concerns made by the vocal naysayer group is clear on only one point - NOT IN MY BACKYARD (NIMBY)!

Share Tweet Forward Hello Linda, Well, it was a busy week in Collier County government! Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can see here. The clip includes some of the really outstanding ads that have been playing. When I mentioned the Great Wolf Lodge recently, many of you reached out to share happy family memories from one of these resorts, or to share your feelings, pro and con, on incentives to build one here in Collier County. For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to 12 determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up. On Wednesday, we heard the cheers all the way up at the government center when the new Palm River bridge was opened. I know it has been an ordeal for everyone to take that very long detour in and out of the neighborhood. Congratulations to our staff and the contractor for getting it completed five months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final asphalt work failed inspection, and will need to be repaired. But rather than keep the bridge closed, we got it open. The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the 13 bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe!

To help protect your priv acy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. The public hearing for the proposed One Naples project will be held in the Board of County Commissioners chambers beginning at 9am. As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map). For most, it’s best to use Parking Garage #2; there are handicapped spaces near Human Resources, Building B. Our offices are in Building F – County Admin on the map. You’ll pass through a 14 metal detector at the entrance to the building, and they’ll direct you from there. Be sure to allow time to park, walk to the building, and go through security. You can watch also watch the hearing live online, or on your cable channel 97/98. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. 15 If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your second dose. If your date is before March 5 and you have not yet heard anything, please contact my Aide at Angela.Goodner@CollierCountyFL.gov and we will investigate.

Dear Mr Solis Now that the quid pro quo dollars for residents near the One Naples has not been effective, Stock will go to any lengths to secure his investment. The purchase of DaRuMa indicates a desperate eleventh hour move to respond to the issue of minimal variance compliance. Is he planning on another project in the property once he has achieved this variance? That would be a devious plan. Will you succumb to the gyrations and manipulations of a disingenuous builder? Consider the long term impact of the approval of such a hideous development. Please evaluate the consequences of a power play by a conniving builder.

Therefore, I am asking you, as a representative of Collier County and the people living here who value the natural beauty of the area, to not allow Stock’s current project to move forward. Instead, they need to revise their plans in order to follow the codes, covenants and rules that are already in place. This is the only way the interests of the people will be protected and our rights and expectations as taxpayers respected. Please don’t let us down. There is so much here at stake!

Dear Neighbors: We are receiving good media coverage on our battle to get Stock Development to scale down their One Naples. Our survey response is nearing 3000 which was my personal goal and the people overwhelmingly disapprove of the One Naples Development, no matter where they live in Collier County. No one wants this development in their neighborhood nor in any neighborhood. We have solidarity and the Commissioners are listening for once. Please watch the video below and see the extent of the 35 foot tall wall of the parking garage that will be 700 feet long. It is ludicrous that this development has gone this far in the approval process. This type of development needs to feel more push back from the residents. The residents who thought it was ok to accept incentives for their approval need to think again. It is not right. I invite you to stand up with all your Collier County neighbors and do what is best for the whole county. Respectfully Betty Pircio View this email in your browser To help protect your priv acy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. 29 SURPRISE, SURPRISE... Stock Development is the Master of Keeping Everyone off Balance! This latest move by Stock Development may not be so bad. They now have the DaRuMa property under contract which will add nearly an acre (.078) in contiguous land to One Naples. This may give Stock the opportunity to adjust setbacks, heights, open space and other essential components to follow the codes, covenants and rules that the Collier County Board of Commissioners, themselves, put in place. Who knows... Stock may reduce heights and make the project conform with the character of the neighborhood rather than an insidious monstrosity that so negatively impacts a way of life for thousands of Collier County citizens. Oh, there is still a battle to be fought. Stock will push it as far as possible to ring their cash register at our expense, but they do own the existing parcels, have an agreement to purchase the DaRuMa parcel and have property rights. Now what do we do? This is an easy one for everybody who cares at all about the future of Collier County. Leave a last minute voicemail message and/or email the Commissioners to strongly urge them 'To Deny" the One Naples GMP amendment. (Below is contact information for our Commissioners.) Tomorrow, Stock will either ask for a 'Continuance' in light of this new information disclosed or choose to proceed. Either way, the first order of business tomorrow, Monday, March 1st., will make that determination. Thank you for staying with us. We are still very much engaged in the fight for an acceptable result. "It's not who's right, it's what's right."

On Saturday, some of the most active and vocal residents against the proposed luxury high-rise development assembled and hoisted a wall near its site, one block from Vanderbilt Beach, in North Naples. The objectors designed the wall — made of PVC and canvas — to mimic an L-shaped parking structure that would go near the roadside. In their eyes, it would stand too close to Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, creating an urban canyon for passersby. Raised by a cherry picker, the symbolic wall stood 35 feet tall, the height of the parking podium, including its railing. With it, demonstrators wanted to bring attention to the undesirable big-city-like effects they think One Naples will create in their backyard — and to gain more support for their campaign to stop it. A crucial vote approaches."

"While tall, mature and lush landscaping will surround the development, Victor said it won't be enough to completely hide the wall — or make up for its visual and physical impact from the street. "It's like standing next to a telephone pole, in terms of height," he said. "It's just immense." "You're going to be biking or walking down the sidewalk and literally 15 feet to your right or left is going to be this wall, going up to the height of a three-story building," he said. "That's what we're trying to show here." ... "Participants stood near The Beach Store and across the street from it, chanting "Vote down One Naples," and encouraging drivers to honk their horns in support of their effort. The group handed out a one-page information sheet about the project to anyone who would take it and shared their concerns with any passersby who would listen. "The comments were that the demonstration was really powerful and the support has been fabulous, just fabulous," Victor said. More than 100 opponents participated in the rally. That included Ken Melkus, who lives in nearby Bay Colony, who said he thought the 35-foot wall was a good way to show the true impact of the project on the neighborhood. "Nobody has a true appreciation for mammoth this project is going to be," he said. "This is just one component of it."

However, I believe we all have a responsibility to maintain balance and bring clear thinking to planning matters.

February 28, 2021 Honorable Chair Taylor and Commissioners Solis, Saunders, McDaniel and Lo Castro: I am writing to you as a proud 25 - year resident of District 2 Collier County in support of the “One Naples” project which will come before you for a vote. As a resident in this district, I often walk and swim at the Vanderbilt Beach location on the gulf and believe this project reflects the kind of smart, stable growth my family and I wish to see in our community. I do not think anyone in this community would disagree that this corner has been and continues to be somewhat of an eye soar and certainly goes against our collective mission for the beautiful community we all strive to achieve. As if the beauty and scope of this project were not enough, this LOCAL builder has offered to improve the safety of the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, provide connected public bicycle paths throughout “One Naples”, create a lush, tropical garden with the installation of mature, native landscaping throughout the project’s corridor and a coffee shop – deli open to the public ALL AT NO EXPENSE TO TAXPAYERS. As if the aforementioned were not enough to support this project, the increase of our residential tax - base, collection of impact fees, hiring of local contractors adding to a positive economic advantage for our own community members as well as substantially lower traffic based on a residential rather than a new commercial project provide a magnitude of added benefits. I am asking you to support “One Naples” based on the facts and benefits to our community. Thank you for your consideration, you leadership and your service to our community and county. 45 Sincerely, Kathleen Curatolo 7649 San Sebastian Way Naples FL 34109 239-357-3257 46 SolisAndy From:tharon randall <tharonyr@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, February 28, 2021 2:06 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:One Naples EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Share Tweet Forward Hello Susan, Well, it was a busy week in Collier County government! Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory 49 committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can see here. The clip includes some of the really outstanding ads that have been playing. When I mentioned the Great Wolf Lodge recently, many of you reached out to share happy family memories from one of these resorts, or to share your feelings, pro and con, on incentives to build one here in Collier County. For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up. On Wednesday, we heard the cheers all the way up at the government center when the new Palm River bridge was opened. I know it has been an ordeal for everyone to take that very long detour in and out of the neighborhood. Congratulations to our staff and the contractor for getting it completed five months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final asphalt work failed inspection, and will need to be repaired. But rather than keep the bridge closed, we got it open. The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are 50 made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe!

The public hearing for the proposed One Naples project will be held in the Board of County Commissioners chambers beginning at 9am. As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map). For most, it’s best to use Parking Garage #2; there are handicapped spaces near Human Resources, Building B. Our offices are in Building F – County Admin on the map. You’ll pass through a metal detector at the entrance to the building, and they’ll direct you from there. Be sure to allow time to park, walk to the building, and go through security. You can watch also watch the hearing live online, or on your cable channel 52 97/98. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. 53 If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your second dose. If your date is before March 5 and you have not yet heard anything, please contact my Aide at Angela.Goodner@CollierCountyFL.gov and we will investigate.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners: Your role as commissioner comes with the responsibility to set policies that “protect the Health, Safety, Welfare and Quality of Life” of Collier’s residents. Yet, the Naples One development which clearly is in direct contravention to the Board’s stated responsibilities continues to go forward. This oversized development on a 5 acre lot is a testament to developer greed over community welfare. No one who has walked or driven past the proposed site could possibly see this area supporting the traffic, density, height and proposed “set backs” as being remotely appropriate for this location, let alone the consequent environmental implications. Currently, Vanderbilt Beach is overcrowded yearly. Imagine what the Naples One development will bring. There should be NO criteria or justification for granting the numerous variances being requested. Those variances would in no way improve the health, safety, welfare or quality of life for the current residents of this area. Commissioners, I urge you and your colleagues to put a halt to this unconscionable development. The quality of many lives is at risk. It is my understanding that it was the role the communities elected you to do.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners, I am not one to normally write my local or national representatives, however, I found myself compelled to comment on the One Naples Development. I am hopeful that this email is taken into consideration. As you know, Zoning Ordinances and Plans are created to manage land use in a responsible manner. The concept is to plan land use and its development to be compatible with not only its immediately surrounding area, but adjacent areas/neighborhoods. Upon reviewing what is being proposed by Stock Development and the requested variances, it is clear that their proposal falls well beyond what the planners intended for the area. It appears that Stock has ignored the zoning requirements in order to achieve their financial goals. Whereas I understand their need to make a profit as a developer, their financial feasibility analysis should have taken into account the restrictions associated with the property. Such a feasibility study normally takes place prior to purchase. I believe it is irresponsible of our representatives to ignore the intent of the zoning requirements and the surrounding residents simply because a developer (no matter how well respected that developer may be) failed to do their homework. The requested variances are material. The area simply cannot absorb that level of additional density. It is not local governments' role to bailout poor decisions made by private individuals/companies. We have lived in Naples for over 25 years and believe what has been proposed by Stock is inappropriate for the Vanderbilt Beach area and should not be approved as proposed.

The fact that Stock Company has acquired a parcel of land from Du Ra Ma does not change our objection to this oversized development. It will still have condo buildings that are too tall, walls that are too high, setbacks that will not be met, the boat slips and store will still have detrimental effect on the lagoon and too many variances to the zoning laws will still have to be issued. Don't be fooled - a 3/4 acre lot in the middle of the walled city will not change the loss of sunlight, gulf breezes and open feeling one has as they walk, bike or drive down Vanderbilt Beach Road.

A tasteful, modest development, of appropriate scale, consistent and compatible with the current neighborhood and its zoning requirements, can be a responsible enhancement to the area. But, as proposed, the Stock development is not responsible. It is too expansive, too tall, forces upon us too big of a marina, and mocks appropriate established setbacks and green space requirements. Most importantly, please bear in mind before you vote, that it is against current zoning regulations, and flouts the Collier County Land Development Code, which was established to protect our county from exactly this type of overdevelopment! Vanderbilt Beach is a popular county beach and should remain accessible to all county residents. Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Boulevard are single lanes, and are already heavily congested with cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. The additional burden this proposal imposes will overwhelm the current infrastructure. To Mr. Stock, this is only a money making scheme that he is vigorously trying to foist upon your constituents. As county commissioners, please consider all of your county residents. That is your charge. This includes not only the neighbors to One Naples, but all residents of the entire county. This vote will set a precedent for how all of Collier County will be allowed to grow in the future. Will Collier County grow according to the established Land Development Code, or will Mr. Stock, and other developers who will then follow his lead, be allowed to look upon the code with derision, and then talk the board into changing it to fit their personal wants? If so, why was a Land Development Code ever established? It will have totally lost its intended purpose. 65 Please stand for the voices of all the people. Vote NO to this condescending proposal.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis, I write to oppose the development plan of One Naples, and encourage you to vote against it. Sooner or later that area is going to be developed, and it is an open question whether we could do better than the current proposal. And whatever that development ends up being, it will bring more traffic. So, traffic is not my issue. Nor is the fact of likely development in general. I don't like to think of myself as a NIMBY person. My concerns with One Naples are height and density. The proposed buildings are too high and too dense, in violation of zoning restrictions on height and space. Those restrictions are there for a reason. They are key to keeping Naples the unique and wonderful place it is - not just upscale, as there are many upscale communities in Florida, but a low rise, non-dense area with plenty of green space around and between buildings, particularly in the residential areas but also in the commercial areas. Just drive down Pelican Bay Boulevard or Fifth Avenue and you'll see. There are high rises on PB Boulevard certainly, and I live in one, and one is ridiculous (Chateaumere - how it managed to get those additional stories in violation of zoning laws is probably a story that will never be told), but the large lots and separation of buildings with ample greenery creates a peaceful and attractive space. That is not going to be the case with One Naples. It crowds in condos that exceed the height and set back (I think that's what it's called) zoning limits. The effect is to create a Miami, not a Naples, look. Whatever else might come to that space instead - perhaps another Mercato - is far preferable, as long as the existing zoning requirements of height and space are observed. Thank you for bearing these concerns in mind as you listen to the pro and con arguments tomorrow. I hope you will vote against.

Dear Commissioners, As you know, One Naples is massive and not consistent or compatible with the neighborhood. There would be negative impacts on Pelican Bay and the surrounding area stemming from further overcrowding of already crowded Vanderbilt Beach; a large increase in Vanderbilt Beach Road traffic that would spill over onto the streets of Pelican Bay; and a dangerous precedent of a massive, high density residential project with small setbacks that could give rise to many more similar developments along Gulf Shore Drive. There is no proposed retail and it appears there is inadequate engineering and environmental studies for the oversized boat and marine facility with storage tanks, gas dock, boat docks and dredging from Federal or State environmental review. This may present significant legal, regulatory and liability risk to Collier County and Commissioners.

Dear Commissioner Solis, This is Laura Simmelink and I’m writing as a full-time resident of Collier County to express my opposition to the Stock Development project on Vanderbilt Beach Drive. Basically, the project as currently proposed is not aligned with the character of our Collier County coastal neighborhoods or the preferences of our community. As you are aware, this will set a precedent for future development, and I believe it will irrevocably change the character of Collier County. Is the increased tax revenue from the proposed project enough of an advantage for Collier County Commissioners to approve the project as it stands? I cannot think of any other benefit to our community, other than that additional revenue. If there are other positive outcomes, I am unaware of them. Is it worth that additional tax revenue to irrevocably change the character of our community — immediately and in the future? This project will increase density, reduce live-ability, reduce the beauty of our community, and reduce road safety for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers, among other negative outcomes. I support a project with: - significantly lower structure height - fewer residences - significantly greater setbacks - not gifting the developer the roads and other publicly-owned space As you make decisions about this project, please bear in mind that you represent the public. And, that the way you vote will affect our community permanently. Generations from now, people who reside in and visit Collier County will experience the legacy of your vote on this project.

I went to the rally today and heard the concerns of the property owners that this ONE NAPLES will impact. Sir, the development will eliminate public parking and beach access. The development will be an expensive gated community. It will also destroy some existing businesses and they have already bought out an apartment complex. This development plans to build several boat docks only to be used for the residents of this development. The cost that is not paid by this developer will be on the backs of the hardworking taxpayers of Collier County. Sir, it is time that the homeowners in Collier County are listened too and their concerns and needs be approved over those of the developers of expensive apartment. townhomes and communities. The Taxpayer elected the County Commissioners to protect and provide the best for all concerned- not just the whims of the developers. Stock is building a massive private complex with a wall, the parking garage is only for the residents of One Naples. Today I had to drive around several times to find a place to park. This massive complex will eliminate a nearby parking lot and beach view by the existing residents will also be lost. There is already enough development of expensive complexes in the area, there is no need for more. It is time that the commissioners considered the Taxpayer, the people that elected them to office to protect the environment, our safety and provide the benefits that our taxes are paying. Beach access and parking, and a safe environment. Do not approve this project it only benefits the developer with profits, and puts more burden on the taxpayer with infrastructure and services.

Share Tweet Forward Hello Rae Ann, Well, it was a busy week in Collier County government! Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can see here. The clip includes some of the really outstanding ads that have been playing. When I mentioned the Great Wolf Lodge recently, many of you reached out to share happy family memories from one of these resorts, or to share your feelings, pro and con, on incentives to build one here in Collier County. For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about 81 this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up. On Wednesday, we heard the cheers all the way up at the government center when the new Palm River bridge was opened. I know it has been an ordeal for everyone to take that very long detour in and out of the neighborhood. Congratulations to our staff and the contractor for getting it completed five months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final asphalt work failed inspection, and will need to be repaired. But rather than keep the bridge closed, we got it open. The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about 82 that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe!

Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. 84 In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your second dose.

Kellam; Guy Kellam Subject:One Naples - The future of Vanderbilt Beach EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. After a long trek (circa 2017), it looks like One Naples is at yet another pivotal point. Having followed the project for a long time, still can't fathom how a project of this scope makes sense on this little corner of ~5 acres, with a crown jewel of Vanderbilt Beach right across the street, which has a profound impact not only for the local Naples Park neighborhood (and others), but all of Collier County. The recent email From the Desk of Commisioner Andy Solis, also has me a bit concerned, since it doesn't seem to address the ongoing rezoning concerns: What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. That said, Stock knew of the C-3 zoning from the start and frankly haven't had any legitimate request for rezoning, that would benefit the larger community, beyond Stock and their residents. Rare $19.7M waterfront property purchased by Stock Development for luxury condo project (July 25, 2017) https://www.naplesnews.com/story/money/real-estate/2017/07/24/rare-19-7-m-waterfront-property-purchased- stock-development-luxury-condo-project/504410001/ Simply stated, I would welcome a mini-mercarto based on the existing C-3 zoning, that would benefit the entire community (including visitors) instead of a select few, at the expense of others who have invested in this area for years. That said, if the original zoning was viable, they would have already done it, but at this point I am steadfast in the belief that they thought they could simply steamroll their vision. The land is incredibly valuable, but in the grand scheme of things, the proposed project simply overwhelms this tiny corner. The threat of commercial development is a red herring perpetrated by their initial investment. All that said, I strongly support the following: Guest opinion: One Naples has 'morphed from truly outrageous to simply atrocious' https://www.naplesnews.com/story/opinion/2021/02/25/one-naples-developoment-brian-stock-vanderbilt- beach-buzz-victor/4555268001/ Thanks, Guy Kellam 745 99th Ave N Naples, FL 34108 88 SolisAndy From:SolisAndy Sent:Saturday, February 27, 2021 9:56 PM To:Deanne Born Subject:Re: Second vaccine??

Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can 90 see here. The clip includes some of the really outstanding ads that have been playing. When I mentioned the Great Wolf Lodge recently, many of you reached out to share happy family memories from one of these resorts, or to share your feelings, pro and con, on incentives to build one here in Collier County. For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up. On Wednesday, we heard the cheers all the way up at the government center when the new Palm River bridge was opened. I know it has been an ordeal for everyone to take that very long detour in and out of the neighborhood. Congratulations to our staff and the contractor for getting it completed five months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final asphalt work failed inspection, and will need to be repaired. But rather than keep the bridge closed, we got it open. The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock 91 Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe! 92 The public hearing for the proposed One Naples project will be held in the Board of County Commissioners chambers beginning at 9am. As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map).

Dear Commissioner Solis: We are writing to you to urge you to vote against the variances that will be coming before you for a vote on Monday March 1st. We are in support of keeping the neighborhood consistent with the current zoning laws. It is one thing to allow a small variance within 10 ft but allowing a 15ft setback when the current code is 93ft and a height variance of 186ft when the current allowance is 77ft it begs the question why have any zoning laws? In addition, where will the open space be for the community, what happens to the wildlife that will be disrupted from the 99 boat slips, how will traffic congestion be handled and shouldn't the developer gift the County $4.3M for roads and open space instead of the other way around? We are not against developing and improving the neighborhood but seeing that the zoning board voted against this project it shouldn't go forward with just a commission vote. Maybe Stock Development can re-submit a plan that is more in line with the current zoning laws. We urge you to do what is best for the community.

Importance: High Good morning Jeff and Heidi. As you know I represent the Vanderbilt Beach Residents Association, Inc, (VBRA), and as you are also aware, VBRA opposes the approval of the three pending One Naples applications. During the Planning Commission hearing, I raised the issue that the proposed MPUD would allow the construction of one massive tower. Attached are some excerpts from the Planning Commission hearings regarding whether the developer, based upon the proposed MPUD, could build one big, wide building on Tract MU Tract 1. In reviewing the proposed MPUD documents in the agenda packet, including the proposed conceptual Master Concept Plan (Exhibit C-1 ) and Development Standards Table (Exhibit B and its footnotes) I did not see such a prohibition or restriction. While Footnote #4 of Exhibit B states “ “Exhibit C, Sheet 3 of 4 depicts the location of the towers along Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive...”, in my review, Exhibit C, Sheet 3 of 4 only details setbacks and does not prohibit the construction of one massive tower on Tract MU Tract 1, nor does it show any footprint that would prohibit one “big, wide building”. Does the MPUD as proposed, prohibit the construction of one “big, wide building” on Tract MU1? Thanks Tony Under Florida Law, e-mail addresses are public records.

For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up.

I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those.

As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map). For most, it’s best to use Parking Garage #2; there are handicapped spaces near Human Resources, Building B. Our offices are in Building F – County Admin on the map. You’ll pass through a metal detector at the entrance to the building, and they’ll direct you from there. Be sure to allow time to park, walk to the building, and go through security. You can watch also watch the hearing live online, or on your cable channel 97/98. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. 109 Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your 110 second dose. If your date is before March 5 and you have not yet heard anything, please contact my Aide at Angela.Goodner@CollierCountyFL.gov and we will investigate.

Share Tweet Forward Hello Andy, Well, it was a busy week in Collier County government! Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our 113 emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can see here.

Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you.

I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop!

It's always very crowded at that intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Rd and Gulf Shore Dr with pedestrians, bikers and cars. If you allow the Stock Developers to erect the One Naples development, it will create even more chaos, more traffic, more people and less enjoyment for all, especially residents in the neighborhood.

The One Naples wall proposed by Stock is the same height, only it extends to the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and wraps around the corner onto Gulfshore Drive. No amount of "lush, tropical landscaping" promised by Stock will hide a wall of this magnitude. Neither will it compliment the neighborhood. And the setback here is the same setback proposed by Stock. In real life, look how close it is to the sidewalk! These photos were taken today at the Save Vanderbilt Beach Rally at 12 noon. Stock is asking the Commissioners to break the law. One Naples proposal constitutes unlawful Spot Zoning. Please vote to DENY One Naples, which is NOT responsible development. Thank you, Cathy O’Brien Regatta at Vanderbilt Beach 34108 P.S. The second photo shows traffic on Vanderbilt Beach Road by the parking garage. Yes, it is a weekend beach day. The line extended all the way down to the intersection of 41. 15 minutes after this photo was taken, the attendant at the garage walked to a number of cars in the very long line to advise there would be no spots in the garage for at least 30 minutes.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Mr Solis: We are residents of Naples and go to Vanderbilt Beach often, specially when our family up North visit us in non Covid-19 times.. Prior to purchasing our home here, we Winter for 10 years in Key Biscayne, near Miami When we purchased a condo there at the Ocean Club, the Island was a paradise. We were so happy to be able to escape from the hard Winters up North. It was so charming. Little by little, things started to change, developers descended everywhere in Miami and took over in the name of progress. They torn down many buildings that gave the character to the city and put this monstrous high rises that hey can sell for high $$$ The Infrastructure could not handle it, the traffic became a nightmare, people buying this high prices started demanding more and more things of their local municipalities. They wanted to built a High School In Key Biscayne as a 4 story school without cafeteria or gym since it was not room. It was turned down due to the pressure of all the citizens that were against it. Things got so out of control that our paradise was not longer there. We looked for an alternative and founded in Naples, but now we see the same things coming all in the name of progress and taxes for the city. Look at what 5th Ave is now compare to 5 years ago? Not longer the charming Village feeling but a mini Fort Lauderdale. Mr Solis, it already is a nightmare to try to park in the area, the traffic in that corner is so heavy in High Season we had left and gone all the way to Barefoot Beach, why being so close to Vandebuilt Beach we have to go so far. The parking structure gets full before noon and there is no place to park anywhere. Where would the public using the proposed Marina park? Can we ad all of the residents in this buildings to the mess already there.?. Stock Development may be a great building company, it already is taking over in the East and South Naples neighborhoods, this one should not be one of them. Please Mr Solis do not vote for this to go on, let Stock sell it to the city and put a park there. We need more green spaces. Vote for the residents that will be affected not for Stock. We will be so happy as many others to see you and the other commissioners look up for us. Thank you so much. 125 Sincerely!

Thank you for your personalized response which is more than I got from my own commissioner Solis. In fact I did not even get a canned response from him. I believe you are on the right track, and I'm assuming you will vote against stock and hopefully you find at least one other commissioner to do the right thing with you. You are absolutely right about the value of that property as commercial. My wife and I go to the Beach box often and walk around the area everyday. The thought of losing those sky and water views is very disturbing to us. We think a limited commercial development low-rise similar to Venetian Village would be the perfect use of that 5 acre space. Even though Stock denigrates that option because he wants to make more money with the residential zoning change oh, if he wants to do that sort of commercial development I will be all in support. It is equally important that stocks 99 slip Marina be turned down so that the waterfront along the Vanderbilt Lagoon is available for public use and enjoyment. Please Lobby your colleagues to support that outcome. Respectfully Toby Zettler and Eve Wiese, Vanderbilt Beach.

Dear Commissioners: 128 Please vote against the “One Naples” residential proposal on Vanderbilt Beach at the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Rd. and Gulf Shore Dr. in North Naples. Stock Development’s “One Naples” proposal for Vanderbilt Beach is not in the best interest of Collier County residents. The “development” would deprive tens of thousands of residents and visitors of sky, water, and sunset views, and the only public green space left. The beneficiaries? A few buyers willing to pay millions for gulf views and Stock Development which stands to gross close to a billion dollars. How can the County Commissioners even consider approving this project? Stock also wants 99 new docks. This is an unthinkable assault on a priceless natural backwater resource enjoyed by the entire Collier County Community, the already overburdened Vanderbilt Lagoon. I believe it is much better to let Stock carry out their “threat” of a commercial development, as permitted by current zoni ng, if that is the only other choice left to us. The neighborhood could actually benefit from a properly planned small, low rise commercial development; and it would be far preferable to high-rise residential. We also should require that the waterfront alo ng the Vanderbilt Lagoon be open to the public, just as the beach is. Again, as a Collier County taxpayer, I request that you vote against the One Naples proposal at the meeting March 1. It is time for all Collier County citizens to finally take a stand against overdevelopment. The greater good for the greater number is the correct political call here in order to protect us taxpayers from a developer who obviously cares nothing about the neighborhood nor the environment?

The current project offers you and the commission the opportunity to do what is right for the people who elected you and future generations. Stand firm to oppose waivers, deviations, changes or legal exceptions for this and all projects going forward. Assure developments are bound by the laws rather than helping them to evade them.

Dear Commissioner Solis, I am writing to you to ask that you reject any request for a variance from the current zoni ng laws for the development of “One Naples”. I am not usually opposed to development, but this truly is an extreme and out-of-proportion development. It will profoundly negatively impact the neighborhood. While it would be nice to see this area improved, it should be done within the current zoning laws. The zoning laws were designed to maintain the beauty and enjoyment of the neighborhood and the beach. My wife and I enjoy walking and riding our bikes in the Vanderbilt beach area almost every day.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. February 27, 2021 Dear Collier County Commissioners, First of all, I appreciate your dedicated service and willingness to represent the interests of the many residents that call Naples their home. Most of us settled in Naples to avoid the overdevelopment and over population found in other Florida cities where it appears corporate greed prevails over the interests of the residents. Naples is more laid back, you can hike through the mangroves, enjoy the feeling of a small town atmosphere and avoid the chaos of many other Florida locations. As a general observation, developers are solely motivated by the financials of a deal and will moderate their position to the least extent possible, and only to get the deal approved. Their marketing programs remind me of drug commercials where people are holding hands and walking in the park, but the fine print lists 50 side effects that could cause death or serious bodily injury – the only difference is that the developer’s marketing fails to point out all the downside of the overdevelopment. I have been an advisor to and member on many Board of Directors for companies in Europe, Canada and the United States. I expect your attorneys have advised you of your fiduciary responsibility regarding avoidance of further overcrowding of Vanderbilt Beach, environmental issues, the significant increase in traffic, the added safety and evacuation risks and other adverse factors which would materially reduce property value for a majority of homeowners in this area – and the consequences of a breach with respect to potential impact on your D&O and general liability insurance coverage . Thanks in advance for killing the One Naples Development project – everyone knows it will be a disaster for our community and there is no legitimate justification for moving forward. You were elected/appointed to your positions to represent the interests of the residents – not developers. We are all counting on you to do the right thing. Appreciate you taking the time to read this, and consider my thoughts.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners: My wife and I live in Pelican Bay, right adjacent to Vanderbilt Beach Road. The proposed Stock project would really destroy our neighborhood. As you know, in sum: 1. Both during construction and during occupancy, it would massively increase the already significant traffic on Vanderbilt Beach Road. Sound and congestion will be a real hit to the quality of life. 2. The size and density is inconsistent with the area. It is more similar to Miami Beach. Most of us chose Naples precisely to void that ambiance. We have gotten our children and friends to look and buy here in Naples because it is unique. 3. Stock is doing the usual game of proposing a massive project and then trying to appear reasonable by “tweaking” it by “concessions.” But the basic concept remains unsound given he neighborhood. The basic concept of huge building, shopping, and marina will bring lots of people, noise, traffic and change the character of the area. Boating will become congested and noisier. 4. There will be and “spillover” effects of traffic on nearby streets and neighborhoods . People will cut through neighborhoods to try to avoid the congestion. 5. Have no illusion: you will be setting a precedent, which will be used to justify ever more enormous projects. 6. I am not anti-growth at all. But growth has to be smart growth. This will depress not enhance property values. Good projects can be built –on the right locations. I am not one to obsess over every little change. But this is a watershed, and I urge you not to approve the One Naples project. Thanks for listening. Clifford D.

I would like to start off by saying how much I appreciate your leadership on COVID on the County County commission and how beneficial I find your newsletter. I also want to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. I believe it is vital to require Stock to build within the bounds of the current C-3 zoning. I live in Naples Park (91st and 6th) and as it stands now heading down to the beach for Sunset or a weekend day on our bikes with our kids is uncomfortable given the cars and crowds. Even with additional setbacks given the acquisition of da ru ma - the addition of so many residences on that corner would make that corner a nightmare and for those of us at the southern end of Naples Park that is our only way to get to the beach. I understand this could bring a gas station or office building - and to this I fine. Both pose a better alternative than a massive residential project as they don’t bring density and people won’t go to their office on the weekends. Again, I appreciate your leadership in these times of COVID but a vote of support of this project will require me to vote for new representation for District 2 in our next election. The additional density is simply a nonstarter and the current zoning is what is beat for the community.

Monday was the monthly meeting of the Tourist Development Council. I am delighted to be beginning my third year as chair of this important advisory committee. I am hopeful that by the end of this year we will be beyond the tumultuous events of the pandemic, and hopefully see our tourism businesses beginning to thrive again. Though we learned about continuing high vacancy rates in our hotels and resorts at that meeting, we also got some good news about increasing willingness to travel from our prospective visitors, and great returns on our emergency advertising to our fellow Floridians and neighboring southern states. Visitation from these groups is way up, helping keep our tourist businesses 11 afloat. I gave a brief report on this to my fellow commissioners which you can see here. The clip includes some of the really outstanding ads that have been playing. When I mentioned the Great Wolf Lodge recently, many of you reached out to share happy family memories from one of these resorts, or to share your feelings, pro and con, on incentives to build one here in Collier County. For those who are interested, you can watch the presentation that was given to the board on Tuesday here. The commission directed staff to begin discussions to determine what level of incentives would be required. We will learn more about this at a future board meeting, and I will be sure to let you know when it is coming up. On Wednesday, we heard the cheers all the way up at the government center when the new Palm River bridge was opened. I know it has been an ordeal for everyone to take that very long detour in and out of the neighborhood. Congratulations to our staff and the contractor for getting it completed five months ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the final asphalt work failed inspection, and will need to be repaired. But rather than keep the bridge closed, we got it open. The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. 12 What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe! 13 The public hearing for the proposed One Naples project will be held in the Board of County Commissioners chambers beginning at 9am. As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map). For most, it’s best to use Parking Garage #2; there are handicapped spaces near Human Resources, Building B. Our offices are in Building F – County Admin on the map. You’ll pass through a metal detector at the entrance to the building, and they’ll direct you from there. Be sure to allow time to park, walk to the building, and go through security. You can watch also watch the hearing live online, or on your cable channel 97/98. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. 14 Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your 15 second dose. If your date is before March 5 and you have not yet heard anything, please contact my Aide at Angela.Goodner@CollierCountyFL.gov and we will investigate.

Dear Collier County Commissioners, We live in the Trieste in Bay Colony, and fully support the letter you received from our Board President, dated February 24, 2021. I would simply like to add that the traffic situation on the 2-lane Vanderbilt Beach Road could well become dire and dangerous if the proposed One Naples project is allowed to happen. Example: on a couple of random occasions, when I went biking, I took the photos attached, below. They are from Vanderbilt Drive, looking West along Vanderbilt Beach Road. As you can see, the traffic situation was pretty bad. I can just imagine what would happen if such a project is developed with its accompanying number of vehicles! Not only is it a passport for major, additional and potential dangerous traffic jams, but it concerns us re potential need to evacuate the area in case of emergency. We know that you are focused on what is best for the community, so we wanted to point this aspect to you. Thank you for your service and your dedication to our county and our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr. Solis - I write to you as a concerned constituent here in your 2nd district. My wife and I and our two children moved to Naples Park last March after nearly twenty-five years split between Miami, New York City, and Los Angeles. We know something about traffic, density, and sprawl; we didn't move here for that. The One Naples project is a gross over-reach. Not only does it set a dangerous precedent by allowing a developer to rewrite existing zoning requirements (what's the point of having them in the first place?), with its enormous size, its oppressive, glaring white citadel-like border wall, its complete lack of engagement with, or respect for, the community and environment around it, it is wrong in nearly every way. Frankly, it reminds me of the city we just left. I am not against development of some kind. That corner is definitely ripe for improvement, but improvement this is not. A more modest structure that won't cripple the area with traffic and flood the beach with a massive influx of residents, that has badly needed restaurants, and retail, with green-space and adequate set-backs-- someth ing that truly benefits the neighborhood rather than attempts to dominate and lord over it-- is something I think most of the Vanderbilt neighborhood would embrace. I know I'm not alone in sharing this sentiment. I hope you hear us and I hope you use this opportunity to do the right thing; send Stock back to the drawing board (again).

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners: The approval of One Naples will have a highly deleterious effect on beach access for the inland population of Collier County. Consider 172 units occupied by the very rich immediately across from Vanderbilt Beach. During peak weeks, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Presidents Birthdays, those residents and their family guests could add as many as 500 - 800 people to the crowd at Vanderbilt Beach. Next door, the expansion of the Ritz will convert 100 rooms to suites and add 24 new suites, creating the potential for another 200 beachgoers. All these people will get to the beach before inland residents from Naples Park, Pelican Marsh, the Quarry, Golden Gate, Immokolee, etc., effectively displacing the working and middle class of Collier County. Is this a consequence you are prepared to address in the future? It's also worth noting that the recently proposed Clam Pass garage, at I believe an estimated cost of $8 million, would have added about 200 parking spaces and hence provided access to about 1000 more residents. So by approving One Naples you would create the need to spend $8 million just to recover the lost beach capacity. Such an expansion was opposed by environmentalists, numerous Pelican Bay neighborhoods and businesses, and Park Shore residents, but the Pelican Bay Board, whose approval is necessary, was willing to give the proposal a fair hearing given the importance of beach access for the general public in Collier County. Please know that as a current Director of the Pelican Bay Foundation and speaking solely for myself, I would find it difficult to support a garage in Clam Pass Park as the answer to a self inflicted beach capacity shortage created solely by your approval of One Naples. I would also do my best to convince my fellow Directors to adopt a similar view. Please, as you consider One Naples, remember the inland population of Collier County, and respect their need for beach access rather than the interests of a private developer seeking excessive gains at the expense of all concerned.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner: I have been a year round resident of Collier County since 1987 and live off Vanderbilt Beach Road. I have witnessed ceaseless growth of developments with massive traffic tie-ups at rush hours. All traffic is limited to just a few East/West and North/South roads – the only apparent solution is to widen small two lane roads to four lanes, six lanes and even more lanes at intersections – but you are running out of land to continue widening roads so you must look elsewhere – adhere to limits of growth which have been established by previous administrations. One Naples is one such development which must stop this process. Vanderbilt Beach Road traffic is already six laned all the way to Airport-Pulling Road and the section from Airport-Pulling to US-41 has already been approved for future widening to six lanes. However from US-41 to the proposed One Naples it suddenly drops to two lanes. How Commissioner ,are two lanes going to handle the additional traffic coming to Vanderbilt Beach plus the proposed traffic to One Naples. In future years will you be accused for permitting One Naples to destroy the Vanderbilt Community???? The property is zoned Commercial and a small market or other stores would attract local traffic and would NOT increase Vanderbilt Beach Road traffic as Stock alleges. At the moment I have counted as many as 16 vehicles at the Hammock Oak and North Pointe Drive traffic lights. Just a reminder: Hammock Oak is the location of a Fire Station, EMS facility and Police Station. How can they reach an emergency on Gulf Shore Blvd if cars are blocking this two lane road-way. Are you willing to take this risk?

To make comparisons to Pelican Bay is not a fair comparison in my opinion. Perhaps the developer comment should be that these buildings are shorter than the skyscrapers of New York City.

Dear Mr. Solis: We recognize that you have been contacted by those that represent the community's interest to vote against the One Naples project as it currently stands. As property owners in District 2, we did feel it appropriate that you hear from us directly. Though we would welcome redevelopment in line with current building codes in scale with the other buildings in our area, we stand vehemently against the project as it currently stands. Everything from the parking wall to the height of the buildings and number of units is completely unacceptable. Mr. Stock's claim that the residents of his development would largely stay on property is naive and inaccurate. Our beachfront which is already suffering from severe overcrowding will become so congested as to severely impact the current beach residents, not to mention the traffic and congestion on roads not built to support such density. The building and the parking wall are not at all compatible with the neighborhood. And counting green space that is on the top of a building is not appropriate. When we purchased our unit we understood the importance of zoning laws. We also felt confident that the commissioners would uphold laws created to protect residents if and when redevelopment occured. We are confident that you will do your part tomorrow and deny the approval of the One Naples Project. Thank you in advance for protecting our interests!

As a resident of the Dunes community, and a commercial building and business owner on 96th and 41, my husband and I spend most of our time commuting in this area, and swim at the Vanderbilt Beach location on the gulf. We believe this project Stock Development is proposing reflects the kind of smart, stable growth my family and I wish to see in our community. We know many in our community here believe this corner has been not only somewhat of an eye sore, but also troublesome and dangerous, and certainly goes against our collective mission for the beautiful community we all strive to achieve. The beauty and scope of this project is beneficial alone in so many ways and additionally, this LOCAL builder has offered to improve the SAFETY of the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, provide connected public bicycle paths throughout “One Naples”, create a lush, tropical garden with the installation of mature, native landscaping throughout the project’s corridor and a coffee shop – deli open to the public ALL AT NO EXPENSE TO THE TAXPAYERS. The above facts are reason enough to support this project, however we also benefit from the increase of our residential tax -base, collection of impact fees, hiring of local contractors adding to a positive economic advantage for our own community members as well as substantially lower traffic based on a residential rather than a new commercial project provide a magnitude of added benefits. I am asking you to support “One Naples” based on the facts and benefits to our community. Thank you for your consideration, your leadership and your service to our community and county.

Dear Commissioners, I am a longtime owner of property in Naples Park, previously Pelican Bay and 45 year resident of Collier County. I am in support of the “One Naples” project which is soon to come to a vote by you. I often use the amenities in the area, especially Vanderbilt Beach and believe the project will not only update the corner of Vanderbilt Beach and Gulfshore Boulevard esthetically, but provide additional safety for that very crowded area. Collier County prides itself on beautification of our unique county, as it has set the standard for where people want to live and visit. It has been the well-respected developers who have successfully helped build out our community the way we enjoy it today. This corner, as we have seen in “the season” this year (even with covid) illustrates the expanding number of people who want to visit this area and the need for change. My experience with this builder is that they are trustworthy and have provided many beautiful and tasteful projects, a testament to their promise to make many amenity changes at no additional taxpayer costs. Also, this project will increase the values in this area, adding greatly to our residential tax base. I am asking you to support the “One Naples”project based on the above facts and benefits to our community. Thanks for your continued service to Collier County.

I have owned since 1987 in Naples Park, near the site we are speaking about. When I bought I was told growth would be limited because Naples had a handle on things and they did not want to be like the east coast. General Electric (if I recall correctly) owned adjacent to the Ritz and there would be no buildings built on the beach. I was informed of a lot of decisions of where I was buying. Through the years, greed took over and changes made to areas that were protected. Animals are knocking on doors and swimming in pools where they once had their own homes. Many years back I saw an eagle fly by me on a golf course. What was said to me on that day was 'enjoy the experience' as developers were taking the lands away. Simply, the developers would rather pay an outrageous fine versus stop what they were doing to avoid the fine. In essence, money speaks and the authenticity of what Naples was is sadly the past. Stock's building in a tight area just takes away any quaintness the area could have for the neighborhood. I 'read' that Stock bought the Du Ra Ma land so, if true, they will succeed in getting what they want. It would be refreshing if I saw the property owners being listened to but, our times are not about the people's concerns. We may be the taxpayers but, our voices are small compared to the mighty dollar that can override the people that live in the area. We are nobody. The wildlife, whether land or water, can not compete with the mighty dollar either.

Commissioner, the additional minimal square footage that Daruma adds to the One Naples project does not add much to the zoning requirements. We want the approved zoning of commercial spaces, a mini Mercato. Please look to the future, this massive condo structure will be the entrance to the beach for years to come. We want something we can all enjoy, especially access to the inland waterways. Remember we voted for you to represent us, and we are asking you to vote no to One Naples project.

The community will see some lane closures moving forward while those repairs are made, but that should be relatively minor disruptions. . (And yes, I am aware of the concerns about the new turn onto Palm View. I hope to drive by and see it for myself this weekend.) I believe all are aware that the public hearing for the proposed One Naples project is Monday. There’s more information about how to participate, IRL or virtually, below. What might be breaking news for you is that we have learned that Stock Development now has the DaRuMa property under contract. This additional acreage may allow for greater setbacks and open space for the project. These have consistently been the major concerns I hear about this project, concerns which I share. I look forward to learning more about how this new parcel might change the proposal. At least one of my colleagues on the Board would like to see the hearing continued based on this new information. My understanding is that the decision whether or not to continue is up to the applicant. I'm sure we'll learn more about that from the County Attorney. At any rate, it seems the first order of business Monday morning will be to determine whether or not the hearing will proceed. Of course there are updates on vaccinations as well; scroll all the way to the bottom for those. I know many of you will be very interested in learning more about the DOH-Collier's partnership programs with faith-based communities, 78 community organizations, and HOAs and civic associations to coordinate vaccinations. As always, I thank you for reading and sharing the newsletter. Please continue to be careful, enjoy your weekend, wear a mask and stay safe! The public hearing for the proposed One Naples project will be held in the Board of County Commissioners chambers beginning at 9am. As always, you are welcome to attend. Arrangements have been made for several overflow rooms to accommodate attendees with appropriate distancing. And of course, masks are required in all county buildings. (Still wondering why the venue wasn't changed? You might be interested in this very thorough analysis of alternate sites, which explains why.) If you wish to participate remotely, you can register to do so HERE. If you are planning to attend in person, here are directions: The Board of County Commissioners offices are located in the Government Complex at 3299 Tamiami Trail East, at the corner of Airport and Tamiami Trail East. HERE is a link to a map of the complex. If you’re coming from the North or 79 West, use the entrance off Airport (where the ROAD in Airport Road is on the map) and drive through the complex; if you’re coming from the South/East, the entrance from the East Trail is the easiest (near U.S. 41 on the map). For most, it’s best to use Parking Garage #2; there are handicapped spaces near Human Resources, Building B. Our offices are in Building F – County Admin on the map. You’ll pass through a metal detector at the entrance to the building, and they’ll direct you from there. Be sure to allow time to park, walk to the building, and go through security. You can watch also watch the hearing live online, or on your cable channel 97/98. Shortly following the meeting, the video will be available to watch on demand. Collier Vaccination Distribution Expansion The Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) continues to work to expand their reach of vaccine clinics and vaccine distribution across the County under the guidance of the Governor’s Executive Order and Health Advisory. DOH-Collier is partnering with faith-based communities, charitable organizations, and community organizations working with seniors (i.e., the Naples Senior Center, churches and synagogues, Wounded Warriors, etc.) to reach their frail elderly members and clients who are having difficulty navigating the current system. If you belong to such an organization and would be interested in learning more, just click here. In addition, DOH-Collier has begun working directly with communities, HOAs 80 and civic associations with high populations of seniors. You can learn more about those efforts and how to get involved here. Please remember, vaccine supply is still very limited. All these efforts are subject to the amount of vaccine distributed to DOH-Collier. Second Dose Update: Please note that DOH-Collier has not scheduled appointments past March 5. If the date on your vaccination card is after March 5, you have not missed anything, and do not need to call or email anyone. Please wait to receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your second dose. If your date is before March 5 and you have not yet heard anything, please contact my Aide at Angela.Goodner@CollierCountyFL.gov and we will investigate. 81 H O T L I N E 866-779-6121 The best sources for clear information on the pandemic are our state health department or the CDC.

Dear Commissioner Solis: On March 1 you and your fellow Commissioners will be hearing Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I am writing you today to express my strong opposition to the development as Stock has proposed it. Frankly, knowing how much opposition there is to the project’s design, I am amazed that this is a hard decision for you. From what I understand of your logic, you feel that the neighborhood is not capable of understanding the nuances of the matter before you, and that you, alone, know what is good for us. When you tell people, “Be careful what you wish for.” you are saying that we don’t know what we are asking. I assure you that we do understand the ramifications of asking that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning, and I am asking you to vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth Management Plan. I cannot be more direct. You have for too long and for too often voted to allow developers to run slipshod over the wishes of your taxpaying constituents. It must stop! I will be there on March 1st to hold your feet to the fire.

Dear Commissioners:, What comes before this board concerns not just those in the project impact area, but all of the Taxpayers of the Collier County. It seems that the Developers wishes and demands are being approved while the Taxpayer - WE the people- who put -you - the commissioners in office, praying that the commissioners' decisions would benefit all concerns - not just the developers. Because of prior plans, I will not be able to come and support the homeowners of Pelican Bay area to protest against this project. But I again wish to voice my concerns about this project. After seeing the actual area and hearing about the loss of beach access and parking, I became even more concerned - attached map of project. I have heard it said that it would be great for the economy - . This Project benefits - only - the development residents and developer - no public parking provided in the project and loss of existing beach front to build 99 boat slips. Not to mention the wall around the complex. What is economy- but money? (definition of economy - a system of making and trading things of value. It is usually divided into good (physical things) and services (thing done by people). It assumes there is medium of exchange, which is a system of Finance, making trade possible.) What about being good for the quality of life? (definition of quality of life - the degree to which an individual is healthy, comfortable and able to participate in or enjoy Live events - a multidimensional, encompassing emotional, physical material of social well-being.) What happens to the quality of life for the residents of Pelican Bay and Collier County Taxpayers that are losing the benefit of beach access and parking and will have to pay for the infrastructure and services that the developer does not pay? Where is their quality of Life? This will impact the traffic flow- already congested -had to circle at noon 2 x's to find a spot to park and it was not close to the beach. Bicycles are ridden a lot in that area, the streets are already very narrow for 2 way traffic let alone bikes and people. This Project is not according to the preset codes and zoning laws. Which it seems that the developers tend to ignore to build their massive projects. This will destroy what little there is left of Vanderbilt beach uniqueness. Please consider the existing residents, the year round residents and Collier County Taxpayers what they will lose with this project. Will it be filled with part-timers and renters or full time residents? 92 Concerned Taxpayer Rural Golden Gate Estates Rae Ann Burton 93 GoodnerAngela From:Stephen Haggerty <stepmar@optonline.net> Sent:Sunday, February 28, 2021 4:59 PM To:SolisAndy Subject:One Naples EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Some what reduced and better looking 3. The third time we come in looking like this last plan will put us in bankruptcy, but we are such good guys that we will make the sacrifice. 4. Now after tearing our hair out we come plan 4 . This is where we planned to be from the start. We knew that the NIMBYs would come out of the wood work and fight us. In all my time in the business, I never saw anyone try and push a plan that was so egregious to a very large segment of the area as this one. There is no reason to allow it to pass.

Dear Commissioner Solis: As the commissioner in the district most affected by Stock Development’s proposed Naples One project, it is imperative that you take the lead in demanding that the Stock company bring this overreaching plan more into compatibility with the neighborhood. Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc has provided the County Planning Staff with its recommendations as to how One Naples might be redesigned to be neighborhood compatible. These recommendations address building height, density of residential units, setbacks, open space and more. Latitude is provided to Stock, giving the development flexibility vis-à-vis the existing C-3 zoning restrictions. I encourage you to request that the staff provide you with the Cover Letter and the Compatibility Standards document provided by Greg Stuart Associates, Planners to the County planning staff. I implore you to vote down his current design. Ask him to review the documents referred to above. It’s your sworn duty to do so. You need not wait until the formal meeting. A call from you today indicating that you can’t vote for today’s design, but that you would fully support a project more sensitive to neighborhood wishes and compatibility would go a long way to bringing Stock back to the table It’s not too late. Stock will tell you that there have been literally dozens of meetings with the community and that is true, but the changes he has made to date have simply not been adequate, nor is it appropriate that he is attempting to buy support of the neighbors with new paint jobs, access control systems, pool covers, power washes, and discounted pricing on needed sea wall repairs. A 700-foot long 35-foot high wall 15-feet off his property line and a mere 35-feet from edge of the pavement along the length of Gulfshore and VBR, no matter what the planting in front of it, is not in the public interest. It will be a monstrosity for decades to come. And the towers, two 208-foot high structures as close as 25 feet to the property line will dominate the landscape, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. Stock is asking the county to donate nearly .8 acres to him in the form of the vacation of various roadways that run throughout his property. What is he giving in return? A project not in the public interest, adding too much density, traffic, safety concerns, and additional beach usage to an area already overburdened. Do the right thing, Commissioner. Protect the public interest. Thank you.

Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc has provided the County Planning Staff with its recommendations as to how One Naples might be redesigned to be neighborhood compatible. These recommendations address building height, density of residential units, setbacks, open space and more. Latitude is provided to Stock, giving the development flexibility vis-à-vis the existing C-3 zoning restrictions. I encourage you to request that the staff provide you with the Cover Letter and the Compatibility Standards document provided by Greg Stuart Associates, Planners to the County planning staff. I implore you to vote down his current design. Ask him to review the documents referred to above. It’s your sworn duty to do so. You need not wait until the formal meeting. A call from you today indicating that you can’t vote for today’s design, but that you would fully support a project more sensitive to neighborhood wishes and compatibility would go a long way to bringing Stock back to the table It’s not too late. Stock will tell you that there have been literally dozens of meetings with the community and that is true, but the changes he has made to date have simply not been adequate, nor is it appropriate that he is attempting to buy support of the neighbors with new paint jobs, access control systems, pool covers, power washes, and discounted pricing on needed sea wall repairs. A 700-foot long 35-foot high wall 15-feet off his property line and a mere 35-feet from edge of the pavement along the length of Gulfshore and VBR, no matter what the planting in front of it, is not in the public interest. It will be a monstrosity for decades to come. And the towers, two 208-foot high structures as close as 25 feet to the property line will dominate the landscape, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. Stock is asking the county to donate nearly .8 acres to him in the form of the vacation of various roadways that run throughout his property. What is he giving in return? A project not in the public interest, adding too much density, traffic, safety concerns, and additional beach usage to an area already overburdened. Do the right thing, Commissioner. Protect the public interest. Thank you.

North Naples News and Collier County Updates View this email in your browser Share Tweet Forward Yes, it's me again! Some of you reached out after the newsletter earlier this week and asked if I would share information a voter might need in the upcoming election. We have perhaps the best Supervisor of Elections in Florida with Jennifer Edwards, and her website is filled with all the information you could want, but I am happy to curate it and provide links to the specific info you might find of use. All those details are below. One item that will appear at the very end of every Collier County ballot is the Conservation Collier referendum. If you're a long-timer in Naples, you might be very familiar with this land preservation program. But if you've moved to Collier County since the last referendum expired in 2011, you're may have never heard of it. Basically, it's a program for the acquisition, preservation and maintenance of sensitive lands in Collier County. We will all have the chance to vote on whether we approve of a 0.25 mill additional tax on our property tax bills for the next 10 years to fund it (that's about $25 per $100,000 taxable value per year). You can learn more about the program and the referendum at the Collier Parks website, and if you'd like to learn more, you can register to attend an informational meeting (virtually or in person) as well. The meeting will be held at the Board of County Commissioners Chambers on Monday, October 12, from 6 - 7:30pm. If you attend live or via the webinar, you can ask questions, but if you just want to watch, you can see it live on Collier TV. An update for Vanderbilt Beach-area residents: The Planning Commission began their hearing of the proposed One Naples project this week, but as I suspected, they did not have time to complete it, and will take it up again at their next regular meeting on October 15. (They do have a special evening meeting next week on the 8th; One Naples will not be a part of that meeting.) The good news is that as an item continued from a previous meeting, this hearing will be the first thing on the agenda, so no waiting through an unrelated hearing. The link to sign up to appear virtually for that meeting is not yet available; I'll share it when it is. If you were unable to attend or watch, you can see the archived video of the Oct. 1 meeting here; the One Naples hearing begins at 2:33:07 (and goes for the next 4+ hours -- you might want to pop some popcorn!). And finally -- the link to register for the next virtual 'Coffee with The Commissioner' is live! Just click on the image below, and I'll look forward to meeting with you all then (PS: The link might say the Coffee begins at 9; that's an error we're getting corrected. It will begin at 9:30.) Deadline to register to vote: We are right down to the wire for the October 5 deadline to register to vote or update your party affiliation for the November 3 General Election. You can do it online at the link above. Not sure if you're registered? You can check, and see a sample ballot, here. Deadline to request a vote by mail ballot: The deadline to request a Vote-by-Mail ballot for the November General Election is Tuesday, October 20, 2020. (With that said, that is cutting it close; if you think you're going to vote by mail, go ahead and request your ballot now and have peace of mind - remember, your ballot must be in the mail in time to be received at the Supervisor of Elections by 7pm on November 3.) You can make your request online, via snail mail, over the phone, by fax, or in person. Vote by Mail drop box: Did you know the Supervisor of Elections has a branch office inside the North Collier Government Services Center on Orange Blossom Drive? From now through election day, it is fully staffed every weekday from 9am through 6pm, and they are happy to help you with all your election- related issues, including accepting your completed mail-in ballot. You can also drop off your ballot at the Supervisor of Elections office on Enterprise Boulevard. Another option is any Early Voting polling place during Early Voting; here is a list of those locations. Track Your Vote by Mail ballot: Another thing you might not know: once you complete and mail or drop off your ballot, you can check online to see that your ballot was received and counted. (I told your our Supervisor of Elections was outstanding!) You can do that here. Early Voting schedule: Early Voting for the November Election begins October 19 and ends on October 31 in Collier County. Again, here is a list of locations and hours. Once Early Voting begins, that link will also give you estimated wait times at each location. Remember, you can vote at any Early Voting location, not just the one closest to your home. And again, if you don't want to use the Post Office to return your mail-in ballot, you can drop it off at any Early Voting location. Election Day voting: To vote on November 3, you must go to your assigned precinct. And if you haven't voted in person in a while, it might well be in a different location; there have been several changes to District 2 precincts this election cycle. So even if you're sure you know where to go, verify your precinct information here. For information about identification requirements, or assistance with voting, this FAQ will have all the answers.

Pelican Bay Property Owners Association, INC 1110 Pine Ridge Rd, Ste # 303 · Naples, FL 34108 (239) 566-9707 · Email: PBPOA@pbpropertyowners.org Website: PBPOA.org Commissioner Solis, Thank you for taking the time to meet with representatives from our organization on Tuesday Nov 17th,. We appreciate your willingness to listen to the expressed concerns of thousands of Collier residents opposed to the One Naples GMPA. The Pelican Bay Property Owners Association truly hopes you fully understand the extent of the community’s opposition to this proposed plan amendment and why we are asking you to vote ‘No’ on the One Naples GMPA. · Hundreds of residents in the Pelican Bay area attended Stock Development’s NIM presentations and initially (and overwhelmingly) expressed opposition to the project for numerous reasons and yet, Stock Development was willing to make only minor concessions. · 2,769 individual residents signed a petition opposing One Naples as proposed. We provided a full list of the 2,769 PB area residents for you to see that resident objection was significant, not ballot stuffed and was carefully scrubbed for duplicate signatures. · 20,000+ E-mail letters have collectively been sent to the CCPC and BCC Commissioners. We are sorry you found receiving the same letter copy from the residents annoying, but each signature was individually added to each letter. While the message may be the same, the letter signers were not. Each was unique. It is not our intention to offend anybody nor to be offended ourselves. · The major problem that Pelican Bay residents point out and continually complain about is the never-ending traffic backups on Vanderbilt Beach Road west of Rt 41 down to the beach. During the Stock presentations to residents this problem was repeatedly raised along with the safety concerns of concentrating walkers, bikers, and vehicles on very narrow one lane in each direction roadways. The Stock groups answers to the numerous traffic questions did not address the actual problem of the roads and walkways being too narrow to handle current traffic loads. During a private discussion with a PBPOA Board member, Brian Stock and one of his associates, acknowledged their solutions were only minor improvements and they were hoping for a County solution. The County study said Vanderbilt Road is currently not overused based on their survey. How could that be possible? When we spoke with you, you acknowledged you were aware that once a vehicle entered Vanderbilt Beach Road west of North Point Dr., you could not exit or easily turn around until you traveled west to the beach and North on Gulf Shore Drive to Immokalee Road. This problem alone should be a major red flag and a good reason to say no to this project because of the traffic density it adds to the area. And, please remember, over the 100 year life of this project, as proposed, thousands of additional people will be residents of Collier County and using the roads and beaches. · It’s important to remember that there are three Public Service operations, EMS, the Sheriff Department substation and the Fire Department that feed into Vanderbilt Beach Road west of US 41. It is irresponsible to not recognize the impact that the additional traffic over the many years of this project’s life will negatively impact response times. Absolutely nobody benefits from this dynamic! · Many residents pointed out that the addition of a marina with 99 boat slips for commercial and local fishing boats will attract shark to the beach as food in the area increases when fisherman clean their catch and discard unwanted fish. Look at how shark sightings on the east coast beaches have negatively impacted beach tourism in that area. · Stock’s attorney repeatedly claimed during the Planning Commission meetings that the One Naples high rise building heights and setbacks are compatible with other Pelican Bay Buildings. This is simply not true and resulted in the Pelican Bay Foundation sending a clarifying letter stating the neighborhoods to the south, north and east of PB are vastly different and cannot be compared to One Naples due to the limited space they have to build and comply with current codes. Just the Ritz is on 26.22 acres. That whole Stock Monstrosity is only 5.4 acres with the County kicking in right of ways! In addition to the above, local residents responding to our surveys repeatedly pointed out that One Naples is neither compatible nor complimentary with the existing neighborhood environment or a benefit to the local community due to: Lack of parking Building heights Loss of views Lack of open green space Lack of adequate building setbacks Loss of property values Marina Impact on beach goers Neighborhood interests not being served Pedestrian/Auto/Biker safety Issues Current traffic congestion on Vanderbilt Beach Road, Gulf Shore Drive and Immokalee Roads Limited Capacity at Vanderbilt Beach Does not comply with current Land Development Codes Thousands of residents from Pelican Bay and groups from Vanderbilt Beach, Naples Park, Pelican Marsh, Pelican Ridge, Pine Ridge Estates, Palm River plus many of the other surrounding communities have gone to great lengths (and at a great expense of $100,000+ might we add) to let the Collier County Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners know that One Naples is the wrong project, in the wrong space, at the wrong time and does nothing at all to benefit the community. Given the 3 to 3 CCPC vote after 3 days of hearings, it’s obvious that this GMPA is full of deviations that make it incompatible with the surrounding community and sets a bad precedent for future projects. It’s also obvious that Stock Development is unwilling to compromise with the community on the scale and density of this project, so we are, therefore, asking you to do the right thing and “Vote NO” on One Naples. Please follow the "Will of the people" and not the "Will of the Stock." Thank you for your service to all in Collier County and particularly to your District 2 constituents.

Dear Commissioners and Planners, As far our background, my wife and I have owned 745 99th Ave N since 7/3/2001, having bought the property from my wife's parents, who loved the region and had the foresight to invest in the community as far back as 3/27/1997. Even back in the day, Naples Park was one of the few places in Naples where 'regular' folk like us could actually buy a little part of paradise, after a lifetime of hard work. We still proudly refer to Naples Park as 'Pelican Droppings', based on our nearby Pelican Marsh and Pelican Bay neighbors. The insidious plan here, is that Stock cobbled together the property around Vanderbilt beach, with grandiose plans well beyond the current longstanding C-3 zoning, with the expectation that they could bulldoze their legacy on that little corner. Properties there could have been raised/renovated in place, like most of Naples Park. Stock claims to want the best for Naples, but their overreaching plan is certainly not in the best interests of Collier County, including Naples Park and Vanderbilt beach, which we have been a part of for over 20 years. Stock does impeccable work, if you can afford it. Trying to shoe horn this project into a 5.4 acre site is a nightmare for neighbors like us, including increased density (44 units vs 16 per acre), building height (235 ft vs 70), restricted marina access, strained public parking, increased traffic, crippled emergency response, ever more crowded beaches, questionable environmental impact, unacceptable set backs, coastal high hazards, traffic bypassing, all simply at the expense of others. I keep hearing talking points from Stock regarding traffic and building top notch stuff. In the end, it isn't really about what is best for North Naples, but simply an attempt at maximizing profit at the expense of others. For some perspective, here is what is happening already: https://www.berryhometeam.com/communities/vanderbilt-beach-one-naples http://www.janetberry.net/one-naples/ Some other things to consider: As it stands, during season the parking garage is already full and even if folks are lucky enough to get a space, they need to squeeze themselves in to the ever restricted Vanderbilt beach public areas (thanks to neighbors like the Ritz). Where are these folks going to park/go? Trying to spread out folks along the beach or providing 'water taxis' or shuttles has been problematic for years, even before this proposed project. What restrictions are going to be put into place to make sure this isn't going to be another Ritz ala AirBnb, which is already contentious issue in the area? Pandemics like Covid-19 and the ever increasing hurricane threats make this even more problematic, putting even more people in harms way. Simply walk down Gulf Shore Drive and take a peek from the start of Vanderbilt Beach road from the parking lot like we do and simply envision looking up. What do you see? All we have are commissioners and planners *like you* who are willing to do the right thing, to protect folks like us who have worked their whole life to experience something as wondrous as this (and to pass on to our children). To this end, I simply ask that you enforce the current zoning or make a *significant* case that changing it would benefit the larger community and not someone else's pocket/legacy. In a nutshell, Collier County simply needs to "Support Responsible Development". Building something like a mini-mercato would still be preferred (even over 'heavier traffic') over yet another gated community that further restricts access to this cherished area. Small businesses like the Beach Box Cafe are what still make Naples unique and wonderful. If you haven't been there, might be worth a trip. In the end, just a simple thing to consider, who does this benefit? If you lived in Naples Park or were a regular visitor to Vanderbilt beach, would you support this given that you weren't a resident of One Naples (at a considerable expense)? Thank you for your consideration.

September 28, 2020 Dear Commissioner Solis, For the board of the Palm River Homeowners Civic Association and the residents of Palm River, I urge you to enlist the aid of your fellow commissioners to pressure the Florida state legislature to rescind or revise the law promulgated in 2011 that eliminated the capability of county governments to control short-term rentals. The passage of that law was a gross disregard for the best interests of the citizens of Florida. We have heard from many Palm River residents asking for help, outraged by the loud, reckless and uncontrolled party activities of the weekend renters. One of our board members reports hearing the same complaints from residents. Here are two recent excerpts: “Since June 5, we have endured different strangers coming into our neighborhood every 4 days. Anywhere from 6-15 people at a time.” “This round of "renters" (8 adults and 3 kids) has come with a 4' boom box with strobe lights and big speakers.” I spoke to this resident personally and she stated that, at 9:40 pm on 9/18/20, when she knocked on the door and then asked one of the revelers to please lower the volume, the person responded loudly and vehemently with “F—k you! Call the cops again! We don’t care!” This person feared for her safety and went back to her home next door. Earlier, a homeowner reported screaming guests jumping from the roof into the pool at 4 o’clock in the morning. I have attended several North Naples Task Force meetings and, in addition to relevant complaints I have made, have heard from Naples Park residents' identical complaints as indicated above. One Naples Park resident reported that when asked to lower the volume of the music, the reveler threatened to shoot her. No gun was visible but it was a threat of violence nonetheless. When the sheriff’s department is called, they do respond and the revelers will lower the volume of their partying. But only for a short time and then it’s back to the same terrible behavior. It is absolutely absurd that a residential single-family home can be turned into a weekend hotel with little or no restraint on who the “renters” are or if they disturb the otherwise peaceful neighborhood. What about safety alone? Hotels have safety regulations and some have security guards. Residences have none. What about County codes? A residence turned into a weekend hotel becomes a commercial enterprise. A commercial enterprise should be in a commercially zoned district. The county Code Enforcement personnel are available only during normal weekday business hours. There is not even a person in charge that can be contacted after hours. At least at a hotel, if things get out of hand, there is someone on hand and in charge. If the state legislature won’t act, can’t we find other county rules to improve the situation? If the commission should decide to try to correct this, you will have our full support and that of our homeowners. We can summon a host of contacts – letters, emails and telephone calls to any and all state representatives who have a part in this. The hotel industry should be an ally in eliminating this competition to their business. An earnest effort in this area will be very much appreciated by many of your constituents. I look forward to hearing from you and your sentiments on this issue.

Please understand that the approval of this monster project will destroy Collier County as we know it. It will destroy the character of our community. The Ritz is set back and unobtrusive. The Bay Colony building that backs on to Vanderbilt Beach Road is an abortion that we can't do anything about, but it does give us a strong sense of the hideous appearance another badly placed and oversized development will do to further deteriorate the area. Your stewardship of our community is critical. Please don't make revenue or concern about lawsuits hide from you the reality of this degrading project.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: I am the president of Chateau Vanderbilt Condominium Association and am writing you to express my opposition to the Stock Development One Naples as it is currently proposed. We are very concerned about the impact on our condominium, our neighborhood, traffic, view and skyline to name just a few. I was encouraged by the action of the Planning Commission and their inability to recommend approval not only of the current Stock plan, but of a watered-down version that reduced the outrageous tower heights by almost 25%, and extremely diminished setbacks. They did their job, protecting the community. Now it’s your turn. Planning Commissioner Frye said it best when he asked the other Commissioners how they could ignore the outpouring of sentiment from the community. These are your constituents, your voters. Isn’t it your responsibility to listen to those who will live with this atrocity for decades to come and to vehemently deny the developer the right to build it? If hundreds of emails exhorting you to deny the project are not enough, if more than eighty people who signed up to speak against the project at the Planning Commission are not enough, if the 1,100 members of Save Vanderbilt Beach, forty percent of whom have contributed more than $100,000 to engage experts and fight the development are not enough, what exactly will be enough to persuade you to do the right thing? Please, when it comes before you, vote to deny the project as it is currently proposed. If you do approve something for the site, and remember we are not opposed to reasonable development, please approve the project with the conditions that your own Planning Staff proposed. They are reasonable and result in a project that is compatible with and complementary to the neighborhood. In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully, Inge Hissa 410-215-1767 __________________________ ---------------------- Vanderbilt neighborhoodL’ambiance From Stephen Saltz To SolisAndy Recipients Andy.Solis@colliercountyfl.gov EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Solis, I have a home in Pelican Bay. My husband and I have already contemplated moving out of Collier County because of the traffic and congestion during the season. If One Naples is approved as currently proposed, it will be the final straw for Naples and Collier County. The size, height and density, of the development is too much for the area. The area is already over grown and congested. Plus, the set backs are not nearly enough. The marina should not be allowed to extend so far into the lagoon. Please vote against this project and convince you fellow commissioners to vote against it too. Maybe the property should be taken by eminent domain for a parking lot to let the public use the beach. Katharine Weiskittel Pelican Bay Homeowner Vanderbilt neighborhood and One Naples From Betty Pircio To SolisAndy Recipients Andy.Solis@colliercountyfl.gov EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Solis: As the commissioner in the district most affected by Stock Development’s proposed Naples One project, it is imperative that you take the lead in demanding that the Stock company bring this overreaching plan more into compatibility with the neighborhood. Look, we know that you have a history of voting with Stock and other developers, but this time must be different. We know that the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulfshore Drive is currently an eyesore, and we know that it needs to be redeveloped. Stock is a good choice as the developer. We implore you to vote down his current design. Ask him to start again, acting more in line with the public interest. It’s your sworn duty to do so. You need not wait until the formal meeting. A call from you today indicating that you can’t vote for today’s design, but that you would fully support a project more sensitive to neighborhood wishes and compatibility would go a long way to bringing Stock back to the table. We and our more-than- one-thousand fellow registrants of Save Vanderbilt Beach stand ready to talk. It’s not too late. Stock will tell you that there have been literally dozens of meetings with the community and that is true, but the changes he has made to date have simply not been adequate, nor is it appropriate that he is attempting to buy support of the neighbors with new paint jobs, access control systems, pool covers, power washes, and discounted pricing on needed sea wall repairs. A 700-foot long 35-foot high wall 15-feet off his property line and a mere 35-feet from edge of the pavement along the length of Gulfshore and VBR, no matter what the planting in front of it, is not in the public interest. It will be a monstrosity for decades to come. And the towers, two 208-foot high structures as close as 25 feet to the property line will dominate the landscape, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. Stock is asking the county to donate nearly .6 acres to him in the form of the vacation of various roadways that run throughout his property. What is he giving in return? A project not in the public interest, adding too much density, traffic, safety concerns, and additional beach usage to an area already overburdened. Do the right thing, Commissioner. Protect the public interest. Thank you. Sincerely, Betty Pircio __________________________ ----------------------
