Please Do NOT Approve the Stock-- One Naples ProjectEXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links.
Commissioners: My wife and I live in Pelican Bay, right adjacent to Vanderbilt Beach Road. The proposed Stock project would really destroy our neighborhood. As you know,
in sum:
1. Both during construction and during occupancy, it would massively increase the already significant traffic on Vanderbilt Beach Road. Sound and congestion will be a real hit to the
quality of life.
2. The size and density is inconsistent with the area. It is more similar to Miami Beach. Most of us chose Naples precisely to void that ambiance. We have gotten our children and friends
to look and buy here in Naples because it is unique.
3. Stock is doing the usual game of proposing a massive project and then trying to appear reasonable by “tweaking” it by “concessions.” But the basic concept remains unsound given he
neighborhood. The basic concept of huge building, shopping, and marina will bring lots of people, noise, traffic and change the character of the area. Boating will become congested
and noisier.
4. There will be and “spillover” effects of traffic on nearby streets and neighborhoods . People will cut through neighborhoods to try to avoid the congestion.
5. Have no illusion: you will be setting a precedent, which will be used to justify ever more enormous projects.
6. I am not anti-growth at all. But growth has to be smart growth. This will depress not enhance property values. Good projects can be built –on the right locations.
I am not one to obsess over every little change. But this is a watershed, and I urge you not to approve the One Naples project.
Thanks for listening.
