Why One Naples is not consistent and compatibleEXTERNAL 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: Thanks for speaking with me yesterday. You have "un-confused" me about the City of Marco Island Counselors and the Collier County Commissioners and, for that, I thank you.. I have attached a diagram that I prepared about the lack of consistency of the One Naples development with the Vanderbilt Beach Neighborhood. Basically, One Naples is pushing over the limit as to what is allowed and what will fit to be complimentary to the neighborhood. These buildings would fit better if they observed the correct setbacks and agreed to at least 25 feet around the whole perimeter of this project. This would naturally reduce the density and be more palatable to the neighborhood because it would not be the massive eyesore that we see in the plans. I have heard that he has a contract to purchase Daruma and I would imagine that some "horse trading" will ensue on Monday. I am thinking that he may be using Daruma to meet some open space requirements, but please do not let this negate the necessity for maintaining sufficient setbacks so that his buildings are not next to the sidewalk. None of us want this over-reaching development, no matter what incentives Brian Stock is willing to pay to get his way. He has to abide by the Zoning Law or he not be the first to flaunt the Zoning with offerings of incentives and then, the whole Zoning will collapse as others rush in and purchase small parcels of land to build towers. As you have assured me, I know you will take into consideration the views of the public in this matter.
