Dear Commissioner LoCastro:
I am writing today in my continued opposition to the One Naples project as proposed.
I understand that, at a recent special meeting of the Commissioners, a decision was made to hold the March 1st hearing at the Commissioners’ chamber in the County office building.
Because of the COVID-19 virus, and the social distancing it requires, this venue is not conducive to the very large turnout by all those who have an opinion about One Naples, pro or
con.
I hope that you and your fellow Commissioners will reconsider. 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.
Thank you for your consideration.

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,
