Vanderbilt neighborhood Stock ProjectEXTERNAL 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:
My husband and I moved 11 years ago into the Vanderbilt Beach area. We chose this area over areas like Park Shore due to its low key, more quaint neighborhood feel.
We both love the beach very much and have seen a dramatic change to the beach with it becoming more crowded due to the increase in population in Naples. Vanderbilt is a very narrow Beach
and cannot support the amount of people that it has now ….. We can’t imagine a residential project of this size and the impact that it will have on the beach and traffic areas.
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 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.
We will be there on March 1st and i’m hoping that you will please vote against this project.
Sincerely,
Pamela and Charles Massimi
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,
