One Naples (127)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 Commissioner LoCastro: Please vote NO on Stock Development’s application for One Naples. I walk by that area almost every day, and I think what they are planning to build doesn’t fit with the neighborhood. It’s ugly, huge, tall, and too close to the street. And why are they trying to hide their plans? The drawing they have provided to the newspaper shows One Naples in the background, with the Ritz and Trieste in the foreground. This drawing is very deceptive. What are they trying to hide? SaveVanderbiltBeach placed an ad in today’s paper showing what One Naples will really look like. And it’s nothing like what Stock’s drawing shows. Why are they hiding the true appearance if they believe it’s the right thing to build? I smell a rat!! 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, __________________________
