Dear Rick (May I call you that?) You are the newest Commissioner and I like you already because you are responsive, listen and I feel that you love Collier County and want to do what is best for all. You do not have hidden agendas and you speak with such honesty that I find it refreshing. But, I have to tell you a couple of the others portray the feeling that the residents are stupid and only the Commissioners know what is good for them At the Planning Commissioners Meeting, Joe Schmidt was obvious in doing that. He talked down to anyone who did not agree with him and tried to push through his way only to be stopped by three of the others. So, Rick (if I can call you that?) that is often what we have to deal with when we go to these meetings. We are often dis-respected as not being too bright! Like they can give us a pat on the head and send us away and let the big boys decide. For instance, sending an e-mail to McDaniels results in a thank you with the notice that you have to put your address at the bottom so he can make sure you are in his district. What difference does that make? Does he only represent his district? So please do not take offense at some of the citizens' remarks as many have been not treated very well by some of the other Commissioners Warm regards Betty Pircio (do I need to put my address?)

Regardless of your stance on any project… we need more citizens to take an interest in THEIR County government. Betty--not sure what I can say about your comment "Commissioners are listening for once". I've only been in the seat 75+ days since taking the District 1 seat… and as a retired Air Force Colonel who served two U.S. Presidents and spent 24 years serving our country (and now as the only full-time County Commissioner) I think I've ALWAYS been listening. 😉 No matter how this decision turns out--I'm always available via email, text, phone, or appointment. Call my cell and I answer it… and EVERY email I receive gets replied to personally by me…. Trust me--I'm listening. I look forward to hearing the continued discussions from BOTH sides starting tomorrow. I've spent much time doing my homework on this project, meeting with constituents, time at the actual site often, and everything in between. You might not always agree with every decision I make over the next 4 years… but I will ALWAYS be accessible and responsive to you. If you think I'm ever missing details on something… please reach out to me regardless of your District.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Neighbors: We are receiving good media coverage on our battle to get Stock Development to scale down their One Naples. Our survey response is nearing 3000 which was my personal goal and the people overwhelmingly disapprove of the One Naples Development, no matter where they live in Collier County. No one wants this development in their neighborhood nor in any neighborhood. We have solidarity and the Commissioners are listening for once. Please watch the video below and see the extent of the 35 foot tall wall of the parking garage that will be 700 feet long. It is ludicrous that this development has gone this far in the approval process. This type of development needs to feel more push back from the residents. The residents who thought it was ok to accept incentives for their approval need to think again. It is not right. I invite you to stand up with all your Collier County neighbors and do what is best for the whole county. Respectfully Betty Pircio A New Bump... View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/pbpropertyowners/more-stock-shock-apomfrtp81-1256314?e=d3a79a832c> SURPRISE, SURPRISE... Stock Development is the Master of Keeping Everyone off Balance! This latest move by Stock Development may not be so bad. They now have the DaRuMa property under contract which will add nearly an acre (.078) in contiguous land to One Naples. This may give Stock the opportunity to adjust setbacks, heights, open space and other essential components to follow the codes, covenants and rules that the Collier County Board of Commissioners, themselves, put in place. Who knows... Stock may reduce heights and make the project conform with the character of the neighborhood rather than an insidious monstrosity that so negatively impacts a way of life for thousands of Collier County citizens. Oh, there is still a battle to be fought. Stock will push it as far as possible to ring their cash register at our expense, but they do own the existing parcels, have an agreement to purchase the DaRuMa parcel and have property rights. <https://pbpropertyowners.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8cd54a2739eee6a1e1ffc0f63&id=18c1953613&e=d3a79a832c> <https://pbpropertyowners.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8cd54a2739eee6a1e1ffc0 f63&id=18c1953613&e=d3a79a832c> <https://pbpropertyowners.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8cd54a2739eee6a1e1ffc0f63&id=18c1953613&e=d3a79a832c> Now what do we do? This is an easy one for everybody who cares at all about the future of Collier County. Leave a last minute voicemail message and/or email the Commissioners to strongly urge them 'To Deny" the One Naples GMP amendment. (Below is contact information for our Commissioners.) Tomorrow, Stock will either ask for a 'Continuance' in light of this new information disclosed or choose to proceed. Either way, the first order of business tomorrow, Monday, March 1st., will make that determination. Thank you for staying with us. We are still very much engaged in the fight for an acceptable result.

On Saturday, some of the most active and vocal residents against the proposed luxury high-rise development assembled and hoisted a wall near its site, one block from Vanderbilt Beach, in North Naples. The objectors designed the wall — made of PVC and canvas — to mimic an L-shaped parking structure that would go near the roadside. In their eyes, it would stand too close to Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, creating an urban canyon for passersby. Raised by a cherry picker, the symbolic wall stood 35 feet tall, the height of the parking podium, including its railing. With it, demonstrators wanted to bring attention to the undesirable big-city-like effects they think One Naples will create in their backyard — and to gain more support for their campaign to stop it. A crucial vote approaches." <https://pbpropertyowners.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8cd54a2739eee6a1e1ffc0f63&id=6ff9b2a661&e=d3a79a832c> (Buzz Victor explaining the the enormity of the proposed One Naples wall in the Naples Daily News interview.)

"It's like standing next to a telephone pole, in terms of height," he said. "It's just immense." "You're going to be biking or walking down the sidewalk and literally 15 feet to your right or left is going to be this wall, going up to the height of a three-story building," he said. "That's what we're trying to show here." ... "Participants stood near The Beach Store and across the street from it, chanting "Vote down One Naples," and encouraging drivers to honk their horns in support of their effort. The group handed out a one-page information sheet about the project to anyone who would take it and shared their concerns with any passersby who would listen. "The comments were that the demonstration was really powerful and the support has been fabulous, just fabulous," Victor said. More than 100 opponents participated in the rally. That included Ken Melkus, who lives in nearby Bay Colony, who said he thought the 35-foot wall was a good way to show the true impact of the project on the neighborhood. "Nobody has a true appreciation for mammoth this project is going to be," he said. "This is just one component of it." ________________________________ REMINDER!
