Dear Commissioner,
When the ONE NAPLES project was initially presented, it seemed like the project was a little too massive for the small area where it would go. After the developer changes were presented,
it seemed to be a reasonable compromise and as a result, I thought that the project should go forward. This seems very typical in the developer world where they give up a little something
to get community approval.
However, after learning more about how the scope of the project is not even close to complying with County regulations, I have changed my opinion to a emphatic NO. The height of the
buildings is not even close to what is “approvable” for this area. The setbacks totally ignore the guidelines standards. To make comparisons to Pelican Bay is not a fair comparison
in my opinion. Perhaps the developer comment should be that these buildings are shorter than the skyscrapers of New York City. Pelican Bay, although nearby, is a large parcel of land
that is in the 4 to 5,000 acre range. Not a good comparison.
Please side with the people who live here now and will continue to live here and vote NO on the ONE NAPLES item.
Thank you for your consideration.
A long time, full time resident of Naples
