Aixa,
That is fine. Please reserve the date for Nick Kouloheras and myself. We look forward to seeing Commissioner LoCastro

Hi Rick,
No need to apologies! Nick and I are both looking forward to a time when we can visit with you and share a little about
what is coming down the road with Habitat.
Aixa, can we look at the week of June 14 to see if there an hour or so in the Commissioner’s schedule?
Many thanks,

Hi Rick,
5
Thank you so much for asking!!! This is a much larger conversation than an email would allow. Is there a chance that
Nick and I can either come and meet with you or invite you here to our offices so that we can look at the site plans and
review what has already been done in preparing for the building of Majestic Place?
I look forward to sharing “the rest of the story” with you.
Blessings,

Hello Mr. LoCastro,
May we please take a few minutes of your time to voice our concerns for a new Habitat for
Humanity project that is nearly ready final approval.
We are a small community of the older generation and have in the past enjoyed our peace and
quiet. Saying that we have high regards for the Habitat and what it does for our citizens in the
community but in our case they are not considering our concerns. We have two Habitat
projects around us now, one to the south and one to the east Regal Acres. In the past the one
to the east has given us noise problems ( the sheriffs office has helped us frequently ) and with
their residents cutting across the canal for a short cut to the store on 41. There is no buffer
wall for the east existing project and they verbally promised to install one as part of phase II.
The new project Majestic Place II to our north hasn't been given the final approval as far as
we know yet. We have asked for the vegetation that is there on their south side to be left for
a natural buffer just like the natural vegetation on their west side i Not in their plans. They
are going to doze it down and plant new which will take up to 10 - 15 years to fill in and an 8
foot wall on a 4 foot of fill for their recreational area. This is the unsightly obstacle we will see
as we look out our back yard. They reluctantly did move the wall back 25 ft as per the planning
board. Also the recreational field is just on the other side of the wall and will be just as noisy
as the basketball court in Regal Acres across the canal to the east
We have spoken with Nick Kouloheras at Habitat often with our concerns of not enough
buffer, noise from a recreational field, leaving the natural vegetation , etc. but he has finally
refused.
My neighbors and I want your office and you to be aware that if these plans are approved
we have joined together to appeal. We do have a long list of concerns we have not raised
yet
Thank you for your vote against this project. We request a meeting to further explain with
plans and drawings
Sincerely,
XXXXXX
