Dear Commissioner LoCastro:
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 have been coming to Naples in the winters since 1973. When friends of ours from the Midwest talk about where they want to purchase a condo in FL, many are starting to say – not Naples
– it has gotten too crowded. By allowing this Stock development to proceed, you will be proving them right! The over-sized buildings will make Vanderbilt Beach Road overly congested
and will make the lifestyle we all have come to Naples to enjoy more similar to the congestion we are trying to get away from in our northern cities. Please consider the wishes of the
area residents and vote "no" on this proposal.
Sincerely,
Mary Ethington
7515 Pelican Bay Boulevard
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,
