One Naples Development (212)EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links.
Dear Commissioners:
I am a resident of the Beachwalk Community and currently there is a safety issue turning left out to Vanderbilt Beach road. If One Naples is built, 172 new residents, their visitors
and cars will increase the safety issue. It has been debated that having commercial on the 5.4 acre property would bring more traffic. Our traffic expert says no.
Other issues:
Traffic study: the consultant for Stock and the county did a traffic study which wasn’t long range… it didn’t include new towns being built in the eastern rural lands which will increase
traffic substantially. It also didn’t include traffic in and out from Beachwalk, Pelican Bay, the Ritz and Regatta. The study was done in January and May…not in season.
Compatibility: CCPC debated whether or not it was compatible. Stock quoted from a dictionary. This is insulting! We live in the neighborhood and know what is compatible.
Zoning and GMP: It is not zoned for this tall and dense development. Keep the CODES! The set-backs are too small. The Regatta has 150 foot set back. Stock quotes 25.
C-3 Commercial: Many residents in the area would prefer some type of commercial. This is our community and we get nothing from the current proposal except headaches, lack of safety,
and more traffic. What about a combination of residential, a neighborhood restaurant, deli, boutique, green space or flower garden? This is a neighborhood not a resort for millionaires.
Landscaping: It has been pointed out many times by Stock that landscaping will hide the concrete bemouth. It won’t. It is still 2 towers of 16 stories on top of a garage on 5.4 acres.
We are not against development but the community would like something on a human scale that includes something for us. Many options were presented at the CCPC meeting but were vetoed.
Please listen to our ideas and reasons why the proposed Stock development is inappropriate for the small acreage and neighborhood.
Regards,
Bonnie Michaels
