Dear County Commissioners,
My wife and I have been coming to Naples for over 30 years, and have owned a home here near the entrance of the public beach in Vanderbilt Beach for over 20 years.
Gulf Shore Blvd. is unique in that it combines beautiful single family homes with small condominium buildings. It is a two lane thoroughfare with walkers and pedestrians interspersed
with slow traveling cars. It truly has a small town feel. Many years ago, it was determined by the zoning board that condominium buildings could no longer be built on Gulf Shore Blvd,
and that single family homes were the preferred construction.
Stock now wants to entirely change the character of Gulf Shore Blvd. and the type of building to be constructed. He wants to construct two massive towers and other residential buildings
that will impede on the setback requirements.
Traffic is becoming a greater problem and no matter what Stock's "experts" say, adding a huge amount of additional units and people will adversely affect the neighborhood and cause the
area and the beach to be terribly overcrowded
We understand that a development on the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Blvd. is important and we certainly would welcome a tasteful development that will continue the
local ambiance of the neighborhood. Stock's proposed development does not do this.
It will add massive buildings that will make the street look like Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Once Stock is allowed its development, other developers will come in and construct additional
large buildings and the look of Gulf Shore Blvd. will be lost forever.
We ask that you vote against the development and preserve Vanderbilt Beach for people who live there now and for future generations. Thank you.
Bob and Charlene Schuman
