Dear Commissioner LoCastro:
I live in The Vineyards, District 3, and for the past 8 years regularly walk in the Vanderbilt Beach neighborhoods and often use the Vanderbilt beach. I strongly oppose the STOCK DEVELOPMENT
proposed BUILDING application to erect towers TWICE the zoned height permitted; that encroaches on reasonable and necessary setbacks, and also proposed a HOTEL without ANY assessment
of the increased traffic/damage this could cause to the neighborhoods and beach areas. Finally, there is NO ASSESSMENT as to how a MARINA would impact and possibly damage the delicate
wildlife and entire beach area so no Marina should ever be considered without a full assessment and public scrutiny.
The Stock Development as proposed is hostile and damaging far far outside the strict parameters of the zoning rules expressly designed to PROTECT the rights of property owners already
in the neighborhood, and the residents and visitors to this area who enjoy the benefits of low rise buildings, limiting density of residents and their cars, and can safely walk/bike
near existing buildings that have APPROPRIATE setbacks. WHY would any Collier County Commissioner consider waiving these rules when it would damage every single tangible benefit the
rules were passed to protect: views, pedestrian safety, density, traffic, wildlife protection, property values.
I was an attorney for over 30 years and clearly understand the need to insist that Stock respect the existing C-3 zoning. I ask that you vote to deny his proposed amendment to the Growth
Management Plan. Despite the pandemic, I will try to attend the hearing on 3/1 because this issue is very important to the community.
Sincerely,
Pam Rons

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,
