And Collier County …. from over building!
Stock Development is proposing a huge high-rise project at the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive called One Naples. One Naples will double the intensity in this
area which is in the Coastal High Hazard Zone and will pave the way for permission to double the allowable building height, reduce the setbacks by 70% and reduce the open space by 50%.
Their two towers will be 186 feet tall and will be situated atop a 35-foot-tall podium that will be set a mere 15 feet from the sidewalk and will be 700 linear feet long. This development
fundamentally disregards the current Zoning which should limit the intensity of this project and will begin the process of a “Miamification” of Vanderbilt Beach.
The Stock Development’s One Naples high-rise project fundamentally disregards the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Land Development Code which residents and neighborhoods
rely on to protect their quality of life and home investment. For this reason, and for the technical matters outlined below, the Collier County Board of Commissioners must deny the
proposed GMP amendment. The community fully understands that in doing so, the property will retain its current C-3 zoning, which will provide much needed walkable and bikeable neighborhood
services.
This development is a radical departure from the type of development allowed in Collier County and its approval will set a dangerous precedent for the County. Developers will use this
as a “foot in the door” to buy small parcels of land and erect high-rise buildings. It’s easy to allow the developers to build higher and higher and closer and closer to the street,
resulting in Miami/Dade overbuilding. We would need wider streets to accommodate the increased traffic, and will have longer waits at our restaurants, less availability at the beaches,
more gridlock at the intersections, etc.
Please be the leader and voice we need to stop this project and to put Collier County residents ahead of developers. Please vote “NO” on March 1 on the One Naples project at Vanderbilt
Beach and encourage the other Commissioners to do the same. We must avoid the over-development of Collier County. As the new Commissioner of District 1 we need YOUR HELP to stop the
runaway train of over-development in Collier County. If we don’t stop it now, it may be too late tomorrow. A vote to deny would deliver a message that you are for all the residents
of the County and that you stand against the “Miamification” of all neighborhoods in all Districts. For additional information, please go to http://www.savevanderbiltbeach.com.
Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
