Dear Commissioner LoCastro:
I am a Florida resident and reside in Beachwalk Gardens only a block from the proposed One Naples project. Below is the email I just sent to Commissioner Solis but thought you too should
see it. Thank you in advance for reading it and your thoughtful consideration.
Dear Commissioner Solis,
There is an old adage not to let someone else make their problem your problem. And it appears that may be what is happening here. You and your fellow commissioners do not have a problem
here; you have an opportunity. An opportunity to serve your constituents, enhance your district, and leave a very positive legacy of contribution. Is the current One Naples proposal
the best possible solution to this opportunity?
The second observation is that if this project moves forward in a form close to the current proposal, it will be the gift that just keeps giving (and not in a positive way). The law
of unintended consequences can be brutal and is almost certain to rear its ugly head when so little of the bigger, long term picture is visible.
So like the overwhelming majority of my neighbors, I strongly encourage you to vote "NO" to the current proposal. There's a better solution. Let's find it.
Sincerely,
Thelma Irene Giampapa

Dear Commissioner LoCastro,
I am writing you today to express my opposition to the Stock Development One Naples as it is currently proposed. I was encouraged by the action of the Planning Commission and their inability
to recommend approval not only of the current Stock plan, but of a watered-down version that reduced the outrageous tower heights by almost 25%, and extremely diminished setbacks. They
did their job, protecting the community.
Now it’s your turn. Planning Commissioner Frye said it best when he asked the other Commissioners how they could ignore the outpouring of sentiment from the community. These are your
constituents, your voters. Isn’t it your responsibility to listen to those who will live with this atrocity for decades to come and to vehemently deny the developer the right to build
it?
If hundreds of emails exhorting you to deny the project are not enough, if more than eighty people who signed up to speak against the project at the Planning Commission are not enough,
if the 1,100 members of Save Vanderbilt Beach, forty percent of whom have contributed almost $100,000 to engage experts and fight the development are not enough, what exactly will be
enough to persuade you to do the right thing?
Please, when it comes before you, vote to deny the project as it is currently proposed.
In hopes of a more reasonable project, I am respectfully,
