Vanderbilt neighborhood (263)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 LoCastro
I am writing to express my concern about years of County Commissioners putting developers ahead of neighborhoods. Stock is a good developer, generally recognizing the relationship between
what is good for the community with his need to make a profit.
I am astonished by what Stock is trying to do in my district at Vanderbilt Beach. Voting against Stock’s request for an amendment to the Growth Management Plan will send him back to
the drawing board. Perhaps he can come up with a plan that is more suited to the location.
You, as the “newbie,” have the chance to deliver a message that goes Far beyond Vanderbilt Beach. A vote to deny would deliver a message that you are for all the residents of the County
and that you stand against the “Miamification” of all neighborhoods in all Districts.
Thanks for your consideration, and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Judy Zazworsky

Dear Commissioner LoCastro,
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 almost $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.
In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully,
