Honorable Chair Taylor and Commissioners Solis, Saunders, McDaniel and Lo Castro:
I am writing to you as a proud 40+ year resident of North Naples, District 2, Collier County in support of the “One Naples” project which is coming before you for a vote. As a resident
of the Dunes community, and a commercial building and business owner on 96th and 41, my husband and I spend most of our time commuting in this area, and swim at the Vanderbilt Beach
location on the gulf. We believe this project Stock Development is proposing reflects the kind of smart, stable growth my family and I wish to see in our community.
We know many in our community here believe this corner has been not only somewhat of an eye sore, but also troublesome and dangerous, and certainly goes against our collective mission
for the beautiful community we all strive to achieve.
The beauty and scope of this project is beneficial alone in so many ways and additionally, this LOCAL builder has offered to improve the SAFETY of the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach
Road and Gulf Shore Drive, provide connected public bicycle paths throughout “One Naples”, create a lush, tropical garden with the installation of mature, native landscaping throughout
the project’s corridor and a coffee shop – deli open to the public ALL AT NO EXPENSE TO THE TAXPAYERS.
The above facts are reason enough to support this project, however we also benefit from the increase of our residential tax -base, collection of impact fees, hiring of local contractors
adding to a positive economic advantage for our own community members as well as substantially lower traffic based on a residential rather than a new commercial project provide a magnitude
of added benefits.
I am asking you to support “One Naples” based on the facts and benefits to our community. Thank you for your consideration, your leadership and your service to our community and county.
Sincerely,
Kim Kantor
