One Naples is a flawed 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.
This project should not be allowed to go thru - it will destroy the uniqueness of the area and limit beach access. Development should be compatible with the existing neighborhoods and
benefit the residents as well as the
developers. Massive development should not be allowed - the developers should have to go by the standards and rules set for the area. This letter came to my attention so I am forwarding
it to the
board - praying that this board elected by the People will honor the wishes and hear the people's concerns and not cater to the greed of the developer.
* Condo towers near beach too large
* The One Naples project, a massive development proposed for near the shoreline, is a recipe for disaster.
* Current plans call for crowding five residential buildings, two of them 186-foot towers, into a tiny 5.4-acre parcel at the foot of busy Vanderbilt Beach Road. It makes no sense.
* The project is totally incompatible with the neighborhood (in North Naples). It would add hundreds of residents near a public beach, significantly increasing traffic and parking problems
in an area already highly congested area.
* Traffic backup and spillover into adjoining streets would jeopardize walkers and bicyclists and hamper emergency rescues.
* The Collier County Planning Commission refused to endorse the project.
* What’s the solution?
* Reduce the size and scope of the project, as spelled out by county staff.
* The Collier County Presidents Council, representing some 20,000 doors in the county, urges the County Commission to send the One Naples proposal back to the drawing board.
