To the Honorable Commissioners:
Thank you for the job you do in support of our great community. 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.
PLEASE do not approve this One Naples proposal as it exists today. If Stock can't make either of the two suggestions above work, then so be it. Let them move on.
thank you,
willie
