It would be wonderful if we could plan for a vibrant community center at Headquarters Public Library/North Collier Government center. In the meantime, perhaps such high density housing as proposed at the Haven at North Naples would be better situated at another location. As an example; the parcel for sale beside Dicks Sporting Goods on Naples Boulevard could accommodate an apartment building. Residents can exit and enter at an existing traffic lighted intersection. Residents can walk to the movie theater, Miller’s Ale House, Cost Co, Staples and numerous other restaurants. A park, similar to Baker Park the City of Naples included in their re-development plan, would be super at Headquarters Public Library. This would enable residents to ‘live where they live’. Thank you, Coco Heinrich Sent from Mail for Windows From: Coco Heinrich Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2022 1:46 PM To: bill.mcdaniel@colliercountyfl.gov Subject: Airport Pulling & Orange Blossom Intersection Hello Bill, I am writing to you, chair of the Collier County Commissioners, in conjunction with the proposed ‘Haven at North Naples’ high rise apartments. At the Orange Blossom Alliance meeting yesterday evening, I presented a 10 slide power point presentation. The 5 minute presentation received strong support (seating ovation) from the 200+ residents in attendance. This email is about the opportunity for a development plan encompassing the intersection anchored by North Collier Government Center and Headquarters Public Library, Orange Blossom & Airport Pulling. Wouldn’t it be great for Collier County to create a community center around Headquarters Public Library with a park? Headquarters Public Library and the government center already draw people from all over the community. After taking their children to ‘story hour’ families could walk to and enjoy the park. More importantly, with the park we would be creating a place for people living in the area to walk to and enjoy. The good news is the area already has sidewalks. With a park people can walk to; we are encouraging and enabling the residents to ‘live’ in the area surrounding their apartments and homes. With a potential ‘bicycle rental stand’ at the park; residents can cycle to the restaurant Food & Thought 2 and use the grocery market next door. Publix and several other restaurants and businesses are at that intersection as well. (Vanderbilt and Airport Pulling intersection.) You may be aware the City of Naples has completed a wonderful re-development plan at the intersection of Goodlette Frank and Central Ave with the opening of Baker Park in 2019. The re- development plan encompasses the area along Goodlette Frank to the future Gulfshore Play House, Lotus Construction’s housing development, Bayfront shops & condos, and the condo development across from Bayfront. The vision to build Baker Park is what enables this area to be ‘truly’ liveable. Via Baker Park residents can access a kayak launch, boat dock, outdoor fitness facility, walk/bike a 1.3 mile loop, walk their dogs on leash, use the playground, picnic area, and even a splash pad, with their families. The proposed Haven at North Naples high rise apartment complex as a part of the Carlisle brings many challenges to overcome. One is the number of cars and how many trips these cars will be making in and out of the Haven each day. Many of the apartments will have more than two cars as renters often have roommates that also have cars. The current plan is for 336 apartments. That would be a minimum of 672 cars. Where can these people go on foot? Or bike? And to do what? At present we do not have a ‘built environment’ plan, i.e., park, restaurants, that would enable this number of apartment residents to ‘stay home’ once they return from work. This means multiple car trips throughout any given day. I do not support a five story development with the resident density this entails. I support any apartment buildings to be the height of the neighboring / existing apartments on Airport Pulling, i.e., roof at three stories maximum. It would be unfortunate if the approval of this development becomes the new normal and the Airport Pulling & Orange Blossom intersection will follow suite with more high rise apartment towers. Proceeding with proposed projects like ‘the Haven’ would irrevocably prevent a vision like the one outlined above to ever be realized in this unique area. We have an opportunity to make a development plan for the Headquarters Public Library intersection. This is not any intersection. It is already a meeting point where residents go for community services. I do not support the underground water storage tanks that are proposed. What will be above these tanks? Parking lots for the 672+ cars? There is a danger this site will be concrete and high rise buildings. Usually retention ponds are part of a site plan. Is there ‘green space’ / water for the residents to stay home and enjoy. Playground with trees? Dog park? I would be happy to give you the presentation I delivered to the Orange Blossom Alliance. Can we meet for 15 minutes this week or next?

Subject: Walden Oaks HOA - Orange Blossom Alliance/Airport Rd Corridor Residents Call to Action in Opposition to the Proposed Rezoning for The Haven at North Naples Apartment Project Dear Collier County Commissioners', As a resident of the Walden Oaks community, directly across the street from the above-mentioned proposed rezoning. We are adamantly opposed to any proposal that would limit our ingress and egress from our community via Airport Road. We currently enjoy a left hand turn from southbound Airport travel and a left turn and u-turn on southbound travel. The proposed rezone will no doubt hamper if not completely eliminate this access that we so vitally need. We urge you to come up with a better plan for ingress and egress option for the aforementioned rezone in order to accommodate all that will be impacted by this proposal.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am opposed to the Proposed Rezoning for Haven Apartment Complex just south of the Italian American Club on Airport Rd and Orange Blossom Intersection. The density is too high for this area of residential. The traffic on Orange Blossom would increase to the point that we would not be able to exit our current residential area without the addition of stop lights. This project should be placed in a higher density area which is appropriate for the amount of traffic it will generate. Thank You for listening.

As there has been a meeting called tomorrow on the topic, I wanted to let you know as a resident of Emerald Lakes, my family and I oppose the project. As a retired military member, veteran and resident family, we agree and understand that the county needs more affordable housing, but we are asking for a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing consistent with the height, density and character of the neighboring communities. With more density will come even more congestion, increased traffic, trash and noise not to mention vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle accidents. We ask you to vote NO on the Haven Apartment Project in our neighborhood but please consider it for another less already tasked area of the county. Thank you for your time and attention.

Hello, I'm writing to express my great concern and opposition for the new development, The Haven of North Naples, which is proposed for the SW corner of Airport and Orange Blossom roads. I live in the neighborhood, and this intersection is already massively dangerous with accidents on a regular basis. The proposed development would create an additional 34 units per acre which is over 5x the current plan allowance. There is already an overcrowding problem in this area, and this new development would exponentially add to it. The Siena Lakes Senior Living Community has already created additional congestion, with a completely failed new traffic pattern. As a local resident, I am nervous DAILY when driving down OBR near Airport. We do not need more cars adding to the congestion and traffic in the area.

Dear Commissioner, Just yesterday there was another accident at the Orange Blossom and Airport Road intersection. If the Haven Apartment development is approved there will be hundreds more cars regularly driving on this very dangerous area of road. Please do not approve this development! My husband is a developer. I’m not against properly planned development. However this project by a North Carolina developer was doomed from the start. The building height is unprecedented in the area and they are trying to use the Carlyle assisted living facility to improve their density numbers. They can’t make enough profits on the small lot size so they are trying everything they can to manipulate the numbers. And the affordable housing they say they will offer can not be monitored - I’d make a bet with you that only the very small one bedroom apartments are made available to the community service workers, not the larger units needed by families. It’s pretty obvious they are using "affordable housing" as a reason for this project’s approval. How will this be monitored? There are no rules in the developers contract for the county to make sure this need is satisfied. From the start, the business model was never viable. Don’t cave into cleverly modified numbers and best intentions. This corner of Orange Blossom and Airport is a low density area. It has a library building, a church, small social club and plant nursery. Around that is only single family homes, with a few buildings for assisted living residents. This is not a commercial area like corners on Airport and Vanderbilt Roads, and Airport and Pine Ridge Roads. I am particularly worried for the young people that drive to high schools in the area. It's already a dangerous area to drive. More traffic here will cause more injury and deaths. I attended the April 6 meeting when the developer shared traffic data that was completely inaccurate for the area. Please know the traffic data the developer presented is inaccurate! I understand there is a similar apartment housing development going in on Vanderbilt Road west of Tamiami Road. This one is better planned. Less density and without the tall structures that will set a precedent for building in the area. And affordable housing opportunities. It can be done. The Haven Apartment developers want more profits. Don’t give into a business plan that never worked from the start. Thank you for listening.

Dear Collier County Commissioners- My wife and I live on Mill Pond Circle in the Emerald Lakes community. Traffic in the vicinity of Airport-Pulling and Orange Blossom has increased tremendously in the past 10 years. We frequently bicycle on Orange Blossom road, and we feel that car and truck traffic is reaching a dangerous level. It is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs, including those between a car and bike. We could not believe it when the Sienna Lakes development was approved a few years ago. We felt at the time that the area roads were already reaching maximum capacity. The Haven at North Naples would make the traffic situation untolerable, and would have a significant impact on our quality of life. Please vote against this unwarranted development. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Collier County Commissioners and Parks Department representatives, It has come to my attention the Collier County’s Naples Sports Complex has an ordinance or park rule that violates Florida state law. I am writing to you today requesting you take appropriate action to repeal and remove the rule and any presentations of such rule from the County’s code of ordinances, websites, and park signage. The park rule that is in conflict preemption with the State reads as follows on the county parks website: Use of Drones prohibited unless permission granted by Complex management This particular rule is in direct violation of Florida Code § 330.41(3)(b). Florida passed this preemption law six years ago and it expressly disallows the county and park system from any regulation on unmanned aircraft (model airplanes, model helicopters, and drones). The state law reads as follows: (3) REGULATION.— (a) The authority to regulate the operation of unmanned aircraft systems is vested in the state except as provided in federal regulations, authorizations, or exemptions. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided, a political subdivision may not enact or enforce an ordinance or resolution relating to the design, manufacture, testing, maintenance, licensing, registration, certification, or operation of an unmanned aircraft system, including airspace, altitude, flight paths, equipment or technology requirements; the purpose of operations; and pilot, operator, or observer qualifications, training, and certification. You will note that § 330.41(a) is very precise to reserve regulatory authority of unmanned aircraft solely to the State of Florida. You will further note that § 330.41(3)(b) expressly restricts counties and municipalities from either enacting or enforcing an ordinance or resolution relating to the operation of drones. Respectfully, it is now time for the county to repeal the rule and ensure compliance with the state law. Doing so is also heeding the words of the Federal Aviation Administration which has repeatedly announced that local drone regulations should not be created as they create a patchwork quilt of regulation that actually endangers the National Airspace. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to assist. Thanks, Ryan J.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Chris, I am one of your supporters at the recent election. I also supported Andy Solis, and was extremely disillusioned by his support of the major project right on Vanderbilt Beach. The pleas of the people who live in that area fell on deaf ears. Even though the proposed Haven of Naples on Orange Blossom Drive won't come before the Board of County Commissioners for at least 3 or 4 months, I am asking you to listen to your constituents on this dangerous development for the residents who live off of Orange Blossom Drive right now. I live in Bridgewater Bay at the corner of Orange Blossom and Livingston Road. When Sienna Lakes opened, they made a horrible diversion in the road that nearly got people killed before they were used to it. This stretch of road is very heavily traveled all day long, but it is dangerous in the morning and evening depending on the direction you are driving and at what time of day. The sun can be brutal on our stretch of the road, the eastern end. But the new complex will be a different kind of danger as its exit will be across from the Collier Headquarters Library and Government Building. The traffic from the Baptist Academy adds to the problem as kids are dropped off there in the morning and picked up all afternoon long. I can cite other issues, but I think you know what my point is. The Carlisle Retirement community is the neighbor for the road that will lead to this project. Please support those who supported you. I have included another letter from a lady who lives at Bridgewater Bay who sent it to the wrong commissioner. I appreciate your interest and share in our concerns.

I am a long-time property owner at Bridgewater Bay on Orange Blossom Drive between Livingston and Airport-Pulling. Due to the development of Siena Lakes Senior Living Community, directly adjacent to our community, we are facing extreme difficulties with traffic on Orange Blossom Drive. I encourage you to park your vehicle along Orange Blossom any day between about 4:30pm and 6:00pm and watch the traffic. We are simply not able NOW to leave Bridgewater Bay onto Orange Blossom during that time because the traffic is backed up from Livingston to past Siena Lakes. The current infrastructure falls far short of what is needed, particularly on Orange Blossom and Airport. PLEASE do not support the further development of “The Haven….” and add stress to the already-stressed roads and intersections in this immediate area. Further, the height and scope (34 units per acre) of this proposed development is completely at odds with the Collier County Growth Management plan - YOUR plan - of 6 units per acre. PLEASE be wise about this and reject this proposed development - for the safety of your constituents. Thank you. Patti Jorgensen 3055 Horizon Lane #1704 Naples, FL Patti I appreciate your note and concerns. Although this piece of land is not in my District -- all Commissioners will obviously still vote on this proposal when it comes before us. It's still in the early stages as you know… has not even come to the County Planning Commission yet--which is a major stop before being presented to all five Commissioners for any vote… so citizens attending Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs) is important and your chance to speak with, negotiate, and ask questions of the contractor who is proposing the project. Current projections show the project is pending its 4th submittal… so a current estimated timeline would be March/April before the Planning Commission… and an April/May presentation in front of the County Commissioners. Thank you for being a concerned citizen about this area… I am as well… and I'm following this one closely. …Rick RICK LOCASTRO Collier County Commissioner District 1 Sign up for my newsletter here !

Naples FL 34109 Re : Haven Apartments - Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. As a resident of the Villages of Monterey this is to alert you and the Board that this proposed building is totally unacceptable to me and to the area residents of Orange Blossom . Please dismiss this building proposal and not make Naples a mini- Miami” * First of all its 120% over the Growth Management Plan recommendations and is 43% higher than any other near-by building *The 336 units and a 60’ high buildings would ruin the local area as over built with total congestion and traffic for Orange Blossom Rd, as its traffic is already difficult. *Airport rd already a mess to travel , and the egress form over 600 cars daily would cause many more accidents and much overwhelming traffic. This would be a ’ Tipping point ‘ and change this low density area of Orange Blossom. Thank You for respecting the residents of Collier County.

I just ran into another Montereyresident, Michael Longo, at his floral shop and he said he knows you wellfrom the church. The Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Alliance leadership team you met with lastyear would like to schedule time to sit down with you for less than an hour to share our thoughts on the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex. It is our understanding this rezoning request will be coming to the Planning Commission in April and the Commissioners in May. We also hoped to briefly discuss the new Lutgert Medical Building project being proposed next door to the site for the Haven ApartmentComplex. The neighborhood information meeting for that newcommercial project is March 1st. Many of us will be attending that aswell. Let us know if you could meet our leadership team on Monday, March 6th at 5:30 at the Monterey clubhouse. If that day doesn't work for you,please let us know a good day and time to meet. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to meet with theleaders representing the concerned residents of the 12 nearby communities that will be impacted daily by these proposed new projects.

Chris.hall@colliercountyfl.gov Subject: Opposition to the Haven Apartment Complex From Joseph Holzschuh – jmholzschuh@gmail.com Date: Thu, May 18, 2023 at 11:27 AM Subject: Opposition to the Haven Apartment Project To: <chris.hall@colliercountyfl.gov>, <dan.kowal@colliercountyfl.gov>, <Burt.Saunders@colliercountyfl.gov>, <bill.mcdaniels@colliercountyfl.gov>, <Rick.LoCastro@colliercountyfl.gov> Dear Commissioners: Although residents understand that the county needs more affordable housing, we are asking for a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing consistent with the height, density and character of the neighboring communities. My husband and I live directly across the street in Walden Oaks so we will be affected by your decision on a daily basis. This is our retirement choice as of two years ago, when we moved here, and that was based upon the current population. We are here full time. This really matters. The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 60% higher density than the highest density existing neighboring complex, the Bear Creek Apartments just to the south of the proposed Haven project. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is 40% higher density than the maximum they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan, even with an affordable housing component. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools already at capacity and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. (this section of Airport Rd has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county). There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. On April 4th the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend the project to the County Commissioners. This is JUST a recommendation. The Commissioners make the final decision on Tuesday, May 23rd. Two planning commission members, Paul Shea and Chuck Schumacher, voted with the residents and OPPOSED the Haven apartments. In his opposition, planning commission member Paul Shea said he thought the project was too high and too dense for the neighborhood while providing only 76 affordable units out of the total of 336 units. We need two of the County Commissioners to share this sentiment. The only reason the developer can get approval for density above 4 units per acre is to include an affordable unit component. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Commissioners to DENY the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. The residents of the 14 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. We have already collected 2,906 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county (like the Pine Ridge/Airport Rd corridor). This is primarily a family residential area. If this Haven complex gets approved, it will lead to changing the character, building height and density of this Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor forever. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout much of the day, the 3rd highest accident rate in Collier County and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small number of just 76 (20%) units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. Developers of similar projects have filled the apartment complex and then sold it within several years. The developer for the similar Pearl Founders Square Apartments at Immokalee and Collier Blvd. recently sold the complex for $125,000,000 just a couple years after approval. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The County has not been enforcing these affordable units effectively. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments and they do have some availability. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor support more affordable housing units in our area, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods, which have 2-3 story buildings and much lower density. CONCLUSION: The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor are asking the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments. Thank you for your involvement to help protect our beautiful residential area of Naples.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. While the paragraphs below were forwarded to me, they do, in fact, describe concerns that my wife and I have for this proposed development. We already experience significant inconvenience with traffic on both Airport Pulling Road and Orange Blossom. This proposed development with its 336 units would definitely impact quality of life in this area. Also, the recently constructed 3 story Sienna Lakes property already creates unsightly deviation in the area, and potential of a 5 story complex should NOT be allowed to destroy the ambiance of the area. All this so that developers can line their pockets. We are extremely OPPOSED to this development which would change the neighborhood for the worse. We have grandchildren who already suffer through the overcrowding at the Collier County schools, we oppose creating additional vercrowding of the schools. We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding andtraffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from anyother nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere tothe Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartmentcomplex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units peracre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has notbeen represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower densityattainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Much false information was disseminated prior to and during the construction such as scheduling a town meeting in the middle of July to address concerns. How many residents are there in the middle of July? Next, was the assurance that traffic would not be affected. Another falsehood. This is all history but relates to what is being planned for The Haven at North Naples, next to the Italian American Club on Airport. I understand that a developer from South Carolina is planning on building a high density five story facility on 10 acres, for 34 units. I also understand that the current Collier County Growth Management Plan is fewer units per acre. This will significantly add to the already heavy traffic congestion caused by Sienna Lakes and will destroy the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Please let me know how this project even received initial approval and by whom? Was there an open hearing at the time or was this done behind closed doors? I am planning to move full time to my condo at Bridgewater Bay as Naples is a beautiful city, but out of control building causing congestion and crowded shopping conditions would certainly change my mind. I do not know the mechanics of continued construction approval but unlike the initial approval, I hope it is transparent. One of our residents wrote to Commissioner Locastro expressing similar concerns as above and his response was that the project is pending its 4th submittal. How did it get so far without any notices to neighbors within a reasonable radius. Also, there is a sign on the now vacant property that leases are being accepted and a number to call. How can this be unless the process is a done deal, at least with verbal assurances? Excuse my sarcasm but something does not smell right. I ask each of you to carefully consider your vote in this matter and, if not voting, express my concerns and others to those who vote. Congested high rises have their place in commercial but not in residential areas. I thank you in advance for considering the above. Yours truly, Thomas A.

We have been visiting Naples since 1992 and we purchased our home in Mill Run in 2018 largely due to it being located in an existing Residential Corridor. It is our understanding that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor in fact, is not designated as an urban activity center by the county. We would like to expand and provide a few key points. Density. The developer is requesting 336 units which translates to 22.4 units per acre. This is 120% higher density than what they are eligible for based on the current county growth management plan. These density levels would only exacerbate the overcrowded schools and overall congestion of the area. Growth is inevitable, however, when managed it can be productive. Perhaps staying closer to the current stated county management plan of 10 units per acre is an option. Character. The developer's re-proposed 4-Story complex remains 60 ft tall, which is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building which is the adjacent Carlisle Assisted Living facility. Couple this with the density comments above, it appears that this would be moving closer toward an urban activity center. Affordable housing. Clearly a hot button in many areas of the country and something we recognize as very important. Given the proposed monthly rental rates, this appears to be a higher end rental property with a small percentage assigned "Affordable". How will the ratio between market rate and affordable be managed and enforced with the developer? Lastly, if this rezoning is approved, what is next? We feel this will open the door for more developers to push the new limits even further. It's easy to see how this can spiral in the wrong direction for an area that is very unique to Naples and Collier County. We ask that you stay with the current stated growth management plan. Growth and progress is expected. Managed and thoughtful growth should be a priority. Thank you for your consideration.

The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. The residents of the 12 nearby communities are stronglyopposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 fthigh, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartmentcomplex. We have already collected 1,810 resident signatures on ourpetition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. This is primarily a family residential area. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already ahigh intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury ApartmentComplex, with a small percentage of units being offered as"more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. The Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lowerrent level. The developer told the residents that the Haven units willhave high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR,$3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. There are already 4 other more affordable apartmentcomplexeswithin a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposedto be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments andGulfshore Apartments. The residents of the Orange Blossom Corridor support moreaffordable housing units, but support a balancedapproach with lower density affordable housing more consistentand compatible with the existing neighborhoods. The Planning Commission and County Commissioners shouldfollow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan ascurrently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’sGrowth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smallerapartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligibledensity of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the GrowthManagement Plan, is more consistent and compatible with thecharacter, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to state my opposition to the zoning regulation changes and asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. I, along with other residents of the Orange Blossom corridor, support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. The developers bought the property being fully aware of the existing P&Z regulations. The existing zoning regulations are lenient enough for the developers to build something that will make a nice profit. However, a change to the existing zoning laws would not only forever change the landscape of this parcel of land, it would be setting a dangerous precedent for other properties in the future to being rezoned. There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection. Developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. If that happens, that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with more overcrowding in the schools, major safety concerns for pedestrians and increased traffic. I urge The Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA).

Dear Commissioners Hall, Kowal, Saunders, McDaniels and LoCastro, I am writing you to request that revision be made to the traffic pattern which was approved by the Plan Commission. The Orange Blossom Coalition placed considerable pressure on the members of the plan commission to approved a plan that provided no road access to Orange Blossom. The result was that a dangerous routing of the ingress and egress of this development was approved by them. Please consider revising the traffic flow to include an exit only right hand turn from the development onto Orange Blossom near Airport Rosd. This solution would considerable reduce the mayhem that would result from the current plan.

Commissioner, We believe that the developer is using the affordablity component to justify density that is much higher than nearby buildings. A smarter way to increase affordability is to purchase a rundown strip mall, demolish it and build a significant number of units that meet current density standards. Use of the low income credit to build many more affordable units would achieve a more desired result. Another problem is access to the roads surrounding the property which depend in this case of using an adjacent property to achieve access without discussion of what the commitment is on the part of that entity.

Chris, I realize you have gotten a lot of emails on this issue but frankly I would be surprised if you hear from anyone as knowlegeable about affordable income development of low income housing. I thought we would let you know our thoughts. I am a retired CPA who spent at least 20 years structuring affordable developments using the 4% credit (tax exempt bonds) and the 9% credit (annual allocations by state) as a senior partner with a national CPA firm that specialized in this area. I am still considered a National expert in this field and still being called upon. It is because I am so knowledgeable about this area that I know how meaningless the number of affordable units the developer is proposing is and what alternatives make sense. Usually, when a developer is asking for a variance on the number of units, it is to make up for the benefit differences impacting cost considerations of the number of units. At 30 affordable units, that number of units would not result in such a need for added units as this proposal indicates. We can have a call if you so desire to learn other ways of addressing this issue.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Sadly, I will be unable to attend the County Commissioners meeting on May 23. However, I wish to register my objection to the Haven Apartments proposal for North Naples. Giving approval to such a scheme, would establish a dangerous precedent for the area and change its character for many years to come - long after those supporting and giving approval to the scheme, are out of office. The Airport - Orange Blossom corridor is highly congested throughout the year and not just "in season" Mn I understand that statistically, the area features as one of the top accident black spots in the County. An increase in the number of residents, leads to an increase in the number of vehicles, which will only exacerbate the situation. I am given to understand that the proposed development is intended to be a "luxury" complex with a fifth of the properties being designated as "affordable." But there are similarly designated units in the area, some of these are currently vacant. Are there sufficient safeguards in place to prevent the out of State developer using the "affordability" card as leverage, only to make a "killing" down the line by unloading, further down the line? The fact that so many units are planned for such a relatively small area, displays opportunism! Again, thinking of the density issue, the question should asked, "is there an infrastructure plan in place to accommodate the needs of an increase in the areas population?" I trust that the Commissioners will see sense and reject this scheme!

We just purchased a condo in the emerald lakes condo community. We paid top dollar and at a high interest rate we did it because we are fleeing NY. What we are fleeing is high taxes, high crime and poorer quality of life. All of which I see and many more with this new apartment complex. This will severely lower the values of all surrounding properties. It also will take away rental income as if these people qualify they can rent out their apartment for far less in the same area, what’s the bargain. All people are good in nature but when people have less money it’s human nature to struggle to survive and go to any means including violence to get what they want. I’m in my 70s I can’t deal with that. I came to North Naples in particular due to its low crime rates, great quality of living and to feel as if I’m living amongst the most affluent. With this in the neighborhood it will lead to many more and soon enough the demographics will change and votes will go from red to blue. They tell me don’t NY my Florida well this is exactly what a yes vote would do to this utopia I call North Naples. There are plenty of places in Naples like south Naples, golden gate and many others, why pick the most desirable place? Why ruin a good thing. The community is outraged over this and we beg you to vote no and listen to the people who put you in office we will be forever grateful to you if you could vote no.

We briefly met at Cooper Narrell's grad party last year. I am reaching out to mention the upcoming vote for the Haven Apartment Rezoning project. Interestingly, its nearby (we live in Il Regalo Circle). Nearby apartments are already in place (Bear Creek and Oasis). Our neighborhood has had a few encounters with Oasis residents (from cars broken into to, to trespassing kids in the neighborhood - the suspects always lead back to Oasis per the police). It is what it is. I understand our Orange Blossom alliance is really targeting the height and scale of this project. Personally, I just call a spade a spade and know what else 300 additional nearby apartment units brings. Affordable housing yes, but so comes an additional 300+ car traffic count on a major road with no appropriate entrance, and unfortunately, likely a spike in crime. I am all for growth, but not cramming growth in areas that are already near capacity. We already have 2 home communities getting crammed into the little land left on Yarberry and Orange Blossom. It will be interesting to see how Orange Blossom / Yarberry handle the already backed up traffic issue during season. Lastly, my parents were both residents at the Carlisle Retirement Community. Its laughable that they will move the entrance gate to 'contain' the residents. Not a day goes by without a resident wandering off and its round the clock ambulances should be really studied if they have adequate access. The fire chief formerly told our Orange Blossom alliance the Carlisle was the #1 emergency call they receive. 300 cars going in and out of the same entrance with emergency vehicles will cause issues regardless. The routes were studied at length by the fire department when they attempted to rezone the Yarberry land to create a main fire station hub. It was going to require traffic lights to control Orange Blossom traffic flow all to allow them access to the #1 call they receive from the Carlisle residents. Ultimately they were going to enlarge Orange Blossom and put a traffic signal at Yarberry/Orange Blossom for the project to work. Thankfully it was denied. Much appreciate your valuable time. Best of luck on the new post - stay tuned we will have a grand reopening of our store on Taylor Road this fall after our remodel (Home and Salvage) love to have you stop by.

Dear Mr. Hall, I have been a resident of Naples since 1986 and have lived in the Villages of Monterey since 1997. I am writing out of concern about the high density of 23 acres per unit, and the 60 foot height, being requested by the developer of the Haven Apartments next to the Italian American Club. While I am comfortable with an apartment building going on this site, I believe the precedent that will be set for 4 nearby properties which will likely consist of apartments will dramatically increase an already congested area. It will also be way out of character from the surrounding neighborhood. I would appreciate your voting to limit the maximum number of units at this site to 14 per per acre and a height of no greater than 42 feet. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Hall, Since you live in this part of Naples, you must certainly understand The Haven ccmplex is much too dense for this area. Traffic is already a major concern on Airport Road anytime of the day. Dumping another 500+ vehicles onto it with many needing to make a U-turn in front Walden Oaks, a residential/commercial complex, to head North, are accidents waiting to happen. There are near misses there every day. Safety concerns and common sense should be the reasons that you should NOT approve this apartment complex. thank-you, Sandra Slas Walden Oaks resident From:Kathy Nourse To:HallChris Subject:Haven apartments Date:Friday, May 5, 2023 7:03:55 AM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

The residents of Emerald Lakes are already profoundly effected by the density of Sienna Lakes and even the height, I reside on the west side of the lake and still have the Sienna Lakes roof and lights in my view now. The Haven apartment proposal is just too much height and density for this specific area. While the county needs affordable housing, this Haven apartment complex is way out of proportion and should be voted down as it currently stands. When Sienna Lakes was built it just ruined the skyline of Walden Oaks and now lake front owners have a view of this looming 4 story building with white commercial lighting. It literally ruined the neighborhood. Please don’t ruin Emerald Lakes by allowing Haven Apartments to loom over a pretty and quiet neighborhood. Many of us sacrificed square footage to be able to buy on this huge lake. It would be unfair to the tax paying owners here to gave their views away for an oversized complex with too much height and density. With the new residential construction on Orange Blossom, the road and intersection at airport rd is already stressed. I emplore you to vote down haven apartments as it stands. The height and density and impact on Orange Blossom and that part of Airport rd will be devastatingly negative to several residential neighborhoods nearby. I love my quiet lakefront home and the darkness as owners go dark on the lakeside at night. A large apartment complex would take away the integrity of the neighborhood Thank you for listening. Please vote it down as it stands.

Dear Chairman LoCastro and the Board of Collier County Commissioners, For almost 7 years, I have been serving as one of our locally elected School Board members. Workforce housing for our teachers and staff has been an issue the School Board has grappled with the entire time I’ve been seated. The lack of affordable places to live is one of the main reasons new teachers turn down employment opportunities here. All of that being said, I am writing to you today, not as a board member, but as a small business owner family member, mother of a gainfully employed 23-year-old marine technician, and concerned community member. I would like to express my enthusiastic support for Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven at North Naples. Once completed, I am confident that this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. I was pleased to hear that Johnson Development Associates has agreed to set aside 76 units for workforce housing. Half of those will be reserved for households making up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining half will be for those households making up to 100% of AMI. This shows that Johnson Development Associates not only understands the need for housing that is attainable for our workforce, but also is committed to doing its part to address our community’s concerns. Our school district has committed to offering technical pathway options to our students and adults who choose to pursue careers in the trades, but then these people have nowhere to live if we want their new skills to benefit the businesses in Collier County. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Sirs, As a resident of Heron Pointe on Orange Blossom Drive, I urge you to deny the current proposal for The Haven at North Naples for the following reasons: 1. The requested density greatly exceeds the current Growth Management Plan. Why have a Growth Management Plan if it is not adhered to? This excessive density will create significant slow downs and heavy traffic on Orange Blossom Dr and at the Orange Blossom Dr and Airport Pulling Rd intersection, which is already a very busy intersection. Rush hour back- ups already extend several blocks along Orange Blossom Dr. The Haven is in addition to other proposals for development at the subject intersection (e.g., Lutgert Medical Center). No serious advance planning for mitigation of traffic on Airport Pulling Rd and onto Orange Blossom Drive as a crossroad between Goodlette Frank and Livingston, has been pursued. Orange Blossom Drive is a beautiful corridor that is fully developed into residential neighborhoods. The proposed plans at the intersection of Orange Blossom Dr and Airport Pulling will turn Orange Blossom into a busy, business thoroughfare, destroying its unique residential beauty. 2. The proposal requests a building height nearly 50% higher than the highest building in the area. Adding this much taller, high-density project will destroy the character and peace of the neighborhood AND WILL GREATLY IMPACT the personal enjoyment of being a homeowner along the highly desirable Orange Blossom corridor. 3. If rezoning is approved, compatibility with neighboring communities must be considered. A maximum of 4 units per acre should be abided by. If affordable housing is a component, a maximum of 10 units per acre could be considered. The requested 23 units per acre is TOO HIGH DENSITY for this neighborhood and will permanently destroy the peaceful character of the Orange Blossom neighborhoods, library, etc. Orange Blossom Drive is a picturesque residential corridor. Drive down Orange Blossom any time of day and you will see current residents jogging, walking dogs, pushing baby strollers, riding bikes, children getting on and off school buses, teens riding their skateboards and more. For pedestrians, crossing across Orange Blossom Drive is already a challenge. Traffic and road noise is at a tipping point with one new neighborhood already being built opposite Heron Pointe. Any consideration of new development that will produce more cars on Orange Blossom Drive behooves all of you on as County Commissioners or Planning Commission members to FIRST address the preservation of the residential nature of the Orange Blossom corridor, its safety, its home values, its beauty, and the right of existing homeowners to peacefully enjoy the use of their homes and the neighborhood, including coming and going. Before any new development is approved at the subject intersection, I request: 1. At least 2 pedestrian crossings be added to Orange Blossom Drive west of Airport Pulling Rd and east of Goodlette Frank Rd (e.g., at or near Monterrey Village/Stonegate and at Mill Run/Heron Pointe entrances) with crossing signals to stop traffic for safety of all residents 2. Proper curbing and sidewalks be added where there are currently gaps (e.g., on North side of Orange Blossom between Heron Pointe and the County Services Building) for pedestrian safety 3. Adding speed bumps to keep traffic at safe speeds along Orange Blossom Drive 4. Put up signs designating Orange Blossom Drive between Airport Pulling and Goodlette Frank Rd as “local traffic only,” “no through traffic.” 5. Consider the use of roundabouts on Airport Pulling Rd., adding an intersection, and/or improve timing of traffic lights or other measures to keep traffic moving and improve safety. If approved, along with Lutgert Medical Center, hundreds of cars daily will be making U-turns after exiting onto southbound Airport Pulling Rd, exacerbating the current traffic situation. The Haven as proposed should be denied. A low-density plan and building heights that blend with the existing neighborhood could be considered.

Commissioners: We are writing to let you know that we oppose the proposed 5+ story apartment complex being considered at Airport-Pulling and Orange Blossom Roads. We reside at Bridgewater Bay and use these roads on a daily basis. The area is already much too overcrowded to be safe and there are many serious accidents here every week. Orange Blossom was supposedly "improved" when Siena Lakes was built, but all that has done is confuse people as to what lane they are to be in. They are cutting in and out of lanes and slamming on their brakes when they end up in the wrong lane. There are frequently traffic backups both on Orange Blossom and Airport-Pulling from too much traffic for the existing roads. The area should be maintained, as is, to preserve its community charm, not built up so much that it is a danger to its residents. We bought in this area of Naples because it was quieter than most other areas, but still had access to the things we need and use on a daily basis. Allowing the proposed structure to be built will cause additional overcrowding and make the area roads more unsafe. A 5+ store building does not fit the area. We strongly urge you all not to approve the proposed development in this area. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Commissioners, While I am in complete agreement with the email below, I’d like to express my personal feelings about the proposed Haven at North Naples Project. I live on the corner of Orange Blossom and Timberline Drive in the Heron Pointe community. I walk my dog along Orange Blossom daily. The speed and volume of traffic is already overwhelming. I have, on several occasions, contacted the Collier County Sherriff’s office to send patrols out to help slow down the traffic. Currently it is a danger to cross Orange Blossom. The only cross walks are at Goodlett and Airport roads – and believe me, crossing at either of those intersections is extremely dangerous. Not only do oppose any project bringing more traffic on this residential street (the only businesses are the Government Center and the Library), I’d like to see either speed bumps, stop signs, or a combination of both. The overwhelming majority of folks who live on or off of Orange Blossom are opposed to this project. Please hear your constituents and represent us. Email to the County Commissioners and County Planning Commission on our opposition to the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High-Density Five-Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. --[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. --[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. --[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. --[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. --[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. --[if !supportLists]-->6. <!--[endif]-->The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. --[if !supportLists]-->7. <!--[endif]-->There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. --[if !supportLists]-->8. <!--[endif]-->The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

My goal is to make this issue a topic of conversation at thedining table. The topic is being addressed. I speak with guests each day about theproblem. They each ask the same question; what can I do to help? Some I speak withwill offer financial assistance through a variety of entities. Most will simplycommunicate and ask those in power to respond to this enormous need. I amencouraging our readers to communicate- with their families, their friends and yeswith you. This project and others of a similar nature are not individually the solution toour problem. As the number of projects collectively planned and built expands, wemay see a path forward. You have the ability to greatly help our community. Haven at North Naples is ideally situated along Airport-Pulling Road, near severalemployers, shopping centers and other destinations. A traffic study showed Haven atNorth Naples would have no significant impact on traffic along Airport-Pulling Road.Furthermore, Johnson Development Associates has not only committed that there willbe no community access from Orange Blossom Drive, but also agreed to add a right-out exit onto Airport-Pulling Road to divert traffic south and away from OrangeBlossom. Johnson Development Associates has a proven track record in Collier County, andI’m confident Haven at North Naples will build on its record of success.

Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling already have the highest number of accidents in all of Collier County adding more than THREE HUNDRED UNITS is just going to make it worse. Besides! All of Orange Blossom homeowners using Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling road…@have a constant stream of cars and trucks cutting through from Goodlette Frank to Airport Pulling Road Airport Pulling to Goodlette Frank going at speeds much higher then the posted 30 mile an hour it can becoming very difficult to cut in and if you do they are right on your bumper because they don’t appreciate having to cut their speed to 30 miles per hour.

Dear Commissioner: The POA Board at Bridgewater Bay represents 524 owners and over 1,000 residents in the community. One of the reasons Bridgewater Bay is so desirable is the fact that it is in a quiet area of Collier County having only to deal with the heavy traffic in the morning and afternoons. However, since Sienna Lakes was constructed and occupied, the traffic on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Road has increased immensely. In addition, the traffic pattern change on Orange Blossom was poorly done, and only a matter of time before we have a fatality. It has come to the Board’s attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. The name of the complex is “The Haven at North Naples”. While we encourage development of affordable housing in and around Collier County, this area is overburdened with traffic going east-west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Rd. daily. The proposed development could add over 700+ cars daily to our already crowded area. The proposed project would be built on 10-acre site, creating almost 34 units per acre, which is 5 x greater than the current Collier County Growth Management plan of 6 units per acre. The height, 5 stories, is out of character for our neighborhood and adding to the already dangerous intersection. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. Not to mention the added residents will burden our schools which are already overcrowded. Besides Bridgewater Bay, many communities along Orange Blossom are opposing the development and encouraging our residents to oppose the project. We feel the Planning Commission did not do their due diligence, and allowed the developer to use the Carlisle’s area to increase their Square Footage per acre. We vehemently oppose this project and any modification of the plans because this intersection is already at capacity. Not to mention, the increase in cars will impact the safety of our children with 3 High Schools within 1 mile of the site. Please do not allow this project to be considered. I am certain of other uses for the property which would allow for a smooth transition. Sincerely, The Property Owners Association Board for Bridgewater Bay, Secretary Michael O.

If there are a lot of tall buildings, friends and I will withdraw our support for the city board, we will withdraw our investments and move out of this city. Naples will no longer be Naples. If you build this building, people will lose their support in you. Naples tradition will be broken. There is a discussion among people that many have areceived some gifts and people's rumors indicate that there may have been bribes from developers. Of course, no one will confirm this, but suspicion is among the talks. Please make decisions for Naples and not for unknown newcomers. Please be honest with current residents. Good health.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Hello, I am writing to voice my concerns over the rezoning of this project. I understand that a property owner's rights need to be protected and the owner of that land should be able to build there in accordance with the original rights attached to that piece of land. I do not feel it is fair for the land to be rezoned to allow for higher density building. I've lived here 9 years and in just that small wedge of time I have seen so much development occur. Our roadways are already under an immense amount of stress. Traffic worsens every year and starts earlier and earlier every fall season. I bought a home along Orange Blossom because of the unique nature of that stretch of road. It is residential and peaceful. The amount of traffic has increased on Orange Blossom with every project being built along Vanderbilt Beach Rd & Pine Ridge Rd, E of Logan. Please consider keeping the current zoning for this project to what that land was originally intended to handle.

Dear Board of Collier County Commissioners, I am writing to you to express my support for the Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven, in North Naples. I believe this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. Being in the hospitality industry, we are constantly struggling to find affordable housing for our staff. Some of my staff drive from Lehigh, Everglades, and Immokalee. While some may think businesses need to pay workers more so they can afford more, we are VERY competitive and still have an issue with staffing/housing during season. Another example, is my son who is 21 (whom has a career and makes roughly 60K a year), still can’t find anything affordable in Naples. While it is a highly desired “rich” community and some make think that if you can’t afford to live here, then move, I don’t think that is necessarily fair. We should strive to want our youth that have grown up and received an education here to STAY here. This is home to them and telling them to move to North Ft Myers or other areas that quite frankly aren’t safe, isn’t realistic. We need these young, talented youth to stay and further their careers here in Collier County and help make our community a better place. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Chairman LoCastro and the Board of Collier County Commissioners, I am writing to you to express my enthusiastic support for Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven at North Naples, located on Airport-Pulling Road, just south of Orange Blossom Drive. Once completed, I am confident that this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. I was pleased to hear that Johnson Development Associates has agreed to set aside 76 units for workforce housing. Half of those will be reserved for households making up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining half will be for those households making up to 100% of AMI. This shows that Johnson Development Associates not only understands the need for housing that is attainable for our workforce, but also is committed to doing its part to address our community’s concerns. As it has for many business leaders, the lack of attainable housing has become one of the biggest roadblocks to managing my employees and recruiting talented people to work at the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. Many of my full-time team members make long commutes from Lee County, which impacts not only their quality of life, but the quality of work. For high-level positions, housing affordability issues limits my candidate pool to people already in the region, which significantly hinders the ability to find the best possible fit for each position. Haven at North Naples is ideally situated along Airport-Pulling Road, near several employers including CMON, shopping centers and other destinations. A traffic study showed Haven at North Naples would have no significant impact on traffic along Airport- Pulling Road. Furthermore, Johnson Development Associates has not only committed that there will be no community access from Orange Blossom Drive, but also agreed to add a right-out exit onto Airport-Pulling Road to divert traffic south and away from Orange Blossom. Johnson Development Associates has a proven track record in Collier County, and I’m confident Haven at North Naples will build on its record of success. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Dear Commissioner Hall, I am writing today to urge your support for the development of Haven at North Naples. We have recently met with the members of the Johnson Development Team and are very impressed with their thoughtful site plan and housing design. We are also pleased that they have voluntarily included 20% of their units that will designated as affordable with half of these being for members of the workforce earning less than 100% of AMI and half for those earning less than 80% of AMI. Habitat celebrates this commitment which goes beyond what many developers are providing in agreements to offer units to essential services personnel or those members of the workforce making less than 120% of AMI. Very few join us in serving the hard-working low-wage earners whose paychecks are less than 80% of the AMI and so we enthusiastically support this project. The location is ideal for members of our workforce and will result in alleviation of traffic for those working in the central and north part of the county. Please review this application with care and sort out the noise from the folks who hope that nothing will be built near them.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Collier County Commissioner, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning at the vacant property south of the Italian American Club on Orange Blossom Drive to build a high density, 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment complex. The proposed apartment complex is named “The Haven at North Naples.” If approved, it will create 34 units per acre while the current regulations only allow 6 units per acre. This proposed high density apartment complex is not consistent in height with nearby structures like the house I own in Emerald Lakes. It will cause heavy traffic and safety problems on Airport Road and Orange Blossom Drive right next to my neighborhood entrance. The property values of existing communities are likely to go down in the area if multi-family apartments are built. I urge you to disapprove the proposed rezoning and I know my opinions are shared by many who have not managed to write email. Thank you for your continued service and support of our communities.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I saw on the news that quite a large low income housing project on Orange Blossom and Airport Road was coming up for your approval. I would like to let you know that I appose it. I live in Lakeside next to the Greek Church and we just approved hiring a security company to patrol our development at night because of the vandalism that has been happening in our community. Not only would a low income housing project decrease the value of our homes but also the crime associated with it would increase immensely. I understand that low income housing is needed in Collier but surely you can find a place near other developments that that are not as nice as the ones near the suggested site. I hope you can another solution for this problem rather then build it right in my backyard.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: Congratulations on your election as Commissioner. Hopefully the position will prove to be all that you anticipated. As it happens, you and I met twice during your campaign, albeit briefly, at the Orange Blossom Library.. On the first occasion, I mentioned that I had already voted for you. The second time I assured you that my wife had voted for you as well. Your office has special significance for my wife and me. We moved here ten years ago from Staten Island, New York. Though lifetime residents of Staten Island, we felt compelled to leave because of the unpleasant changes there. As a result of poor, improper,and sometimes dishonest planning, Staten Island had changed from a friendly, easygoing, uncrowded community, becoming instead an unattractive, overcrowded, often harsh environment, choked by traffic congestion. Visiting a friend in Naples some years ago, we were delighted to find a friendly, clean, well planned community. And so we moved here, It is our hope that Naples will remain this kind of community. Obviously much depends on the Commissioners and the Planning Commission. Of special interest in that context is the development proposed for the property across the way from the Orange Blossom Library. My understanding is that the rezoning of this property would ordinarily allow for 4 to 6 homes per acre, but there is a proposal to place 336 housing units on the ten acres. It is our hope that the Planning Commissioner and the County Commissioners will not approve this proposal, thus preserving the sense of the surrounding community. One last personal note. It is certainly not our feeling that now that we are here in Naples, it is time to close the gates. Reasonable and proper development surely makes sense. Thank you for listening. Very truly yours, Robert Minogue . From:Michelle Giocastro To:HallChris Date:Sunday, May 21, 2023 7:34:40 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Haven Apartments Dear Commissioner, My name is Michael Walcott and my wife and I own a single family home in Mill Pond Circle right off of Orange Blossom. We moved to Naples from Fort Lauderdale because of the several factors including getting away from crime, high density housing and traffic. Since we moved to Naples 10 years ago we have already seen significant growth and traffic. I understand growth is needed but hope that our commissioners are looking at a balanced approach. High density apartments do not fit the dynamic of the Orange Blossom area. Please be mindful of current Naples residents when approving such projects. Naples is always in the top 10 of towns to move to and we want to keep it that way.

I just ran into another Monterey resident, Michael Longo, at his floral shop and he said he knows you well from the church. The Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Alliance leadership team you met with last year would like to schedule time to sit down with you for less than an hour to share our thoughts on the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex. It is our understanding this rezoning request will be coming to the Planning Commission in April and the Commissioners inMay. We also hoped to briefly discuss the new Lutgert Medical Buildingproject being proposed next door to the site for the Haven ApartmentComplex. The neighborhood information meeting for that newcommercial project is March 1st. Many of us will be attending that aswell. Let us know if you could meet our leadership team on Monday, March 6th at 5:30 at the Monterey clubhouse. If that day doesn't work for you,please let us know a good day and time to meet. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to meet with the leaders representing the concerned residents of the 12 nearby communities that will be impacted daily by these proposed new projects.

People need to be able to afford to live where they work but I am surprised that there may be a 60 foot building going up near the Carlisle. Even Sienna Lake had to reduce their height plans to fit into the neighborhood. I share Commissioner Shea's view that it a little to dense and too tall. As a resident of LAkeside who uses Airport to get to the main shopping areas, I find that that road is already too congested much of the day.

We understand the need for affordable housing however the amount of unit must be considered.

Dear Mr. Hall: It has come to our attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high-density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. You are certainly aware that this area is already overburdened with traffic going east- west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Road daily. The proposed development would make a bad situation much worse, with over 700 vehicles crowding one of the most dangerous intersection in Collier County. We send you this email to express our total disapproval to this project and to ask you to reject the request for rezoning. Best regards.

I am a retired veterinarian living in Walden Oaks, a community of 321 homes located directly across from the proposed North Haven Community, and the adjacent proposed Medical Center and storage facility one property north. Walden Oaks is located on Airport-Pullin Road. Our entrance/exit access is directly across from the proposed North Haven Community. Our residents, when coming from the north, must cross three lanes of traffic to enter our community using a short access lane. This has caused a backup onto Airport Road when more than 6 cars a waiting to make the turn. Likewise, our residents upon leaving our community desiring to go south, must cross three lanes of traffic to make the U-turn or proceed to Orange Blossom to make the U-turn. Again, crossing three lanes of traffic. We share these issues with the community, Windward Isles consisting of 30 homes, which is adjacent to Walden Oaks. The addition of 330 units at the proposed North Haven will add an additional 500-700 cars accessing these lanes on Airport creating a significant safety issue to residents, vendors, school buses, and guests utilizing these access points. I do not have a concern with development of a piece of property. My concern is maximizing the density on the property without regard to the daily safety issues being created by the additional resident units being added to the area. The residents of Walden Oaks are asking the Commissioners to deny the high density 60ft high apartment complex which would be 43% higher than the highest neighboring complex, the 42ft Carlisle Retirement Community. We are asking you to protect this beautiful part of Naples. Thank you Daniel Flinn, DVM Please see attached for area view Sent from my iPad From:Tom M.

Haven Apartment project at Airport/Orange Blossom, Naples 34109 I write to object to the proposal to develop 336 units at the above location where I have lived since February 2016. Potentially this could add around 700 extra residents and around 500+ vehicles in this area. Road Safety Airport Pulling is an extremely busy road at certain times. Access into Walden Oaks crossing over the carriageway is extremely difficult at certain times. We can wait up to 4 or 5 minutes with other vehicles lining up behind, occasionally going back to Orange Blossom. The safety of older residents at The Carlisle, who often hesitantly exit that development, is extremely important and should be considered. Adding so many extra vehicles from a new, large development, presents a serious potential traffic hazard and is a recipe for a tragedy. Density The plan to squeeze so many units into one location is based on greed and not on the values of quality of life that Naples and Collier County have successfully established over the years. The development would be crossing a line from which there is no return. It introduces an ugly precedent into the neighbourhood. Capacity Alongside the proposed development: · Are there plans to expand the roads to cope with all the extra vehicles? · Are there sufficient places at local schools? Have the education authorities been consulted? · Are there adequate services to cope with potentially around 700+ extra residents who may need social and or medical care? Impact · Any needed changes to roadways and additional school places will be a cost to the county and all its residents, not to the developers. Only a relatively small proportion of the build is designated as affordable housing, illustrating that this developer has only profit in mind, not the good of local people. · The additional vehicles will cause even longer delays than at present, for people going to work right across the County, not just the immediate residents. This ‘ripple effect’ could have a negative effect on businesses. · This project is already creating stress and concern amongst local people. If it comes to fruition, we will have to live with the impact of your decision. PLEASE, VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL. YOU HAVE THE POWER AND THE RESPONSIBILITY. Thank you!

Dear Commissioner Hall, As a resident of the Orange Blossom Corridor (Calusa Bay), I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed Haven Apartment Complex and am asking you to vote against it. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. This project would create even more intensity and congestion in our neighborhood, and is not consistent with the character, height, and density of the neighboring communities. Developers of the other nearby vacant plots will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. The County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). If the decision is to rezone the property, please limit it to 4-6 unites per acre. Please adhere to the Growth Management Plan and vote to oppose this project.

I am a resident of Calusa Bay on Orange Blossom and ask you to NOT approve the Haven Project at Airport and Orange Blossom. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. Please help us save our community which is a residential area. Orange blossom is used daily by pedestrians and bikers and is one of the beautiful fairways in Naples. Traffic is already congested on Airport due to the county business center, library, numerous apartments, and Costco and other businesses. It is a dangerous road to navigate for your constituents. The addition of a high density residential property will continue to exacerbate the problem. The project should be rejected. Have a wonderful day.

Hey Guys, Our family lives off Orange Blossom Rd in Monterey and strongly opposeThe Haven Rezoning Proposal!!!! Rationale below The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. This is 120% higher density than what they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan. This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. -Orange Blossom Corridor Residents Get Outlook for iOS From:Grant Werner To:LoCastroRick; HallChris; SaundersBurt; dan.kowel@colliercountyfl.gov; McDanielBill; randysoundman@mac.com; VernonChristopher; FryerEdwin; KlucikRobert; paul.she@colliercountyfl.gov; SheaPaul; SchmittJoseph Subject:Oppose the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project.

To: County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners From: Grant Werner, neighbor in Walden Shores who opposes the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project. I am writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of me and fellow residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Pulling Road corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for theproposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from anyother nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the densityto 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent withnearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has notbeen represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at thecorner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion: I believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect thelower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear County Commissioners, As a property owner since the 90's at Emerald Lakes Complex, I am opposed to the building of the 5 story apartment complex containing 336 rental unit apartments. There are many reasons why this is not an acceptable building for the location. There is currently a new area on Orange Blossom, of single homes, being built which will impact the traffic flow in this area. This section of north Naples is not conducive to such an apartment building. Airport Pulling is a very heavily used thoroughfare and the additional traffic will make the congestion unbearable, especially at the busy rush hour times. Please comply with the current Collier County growth management plan. The freedoms which Florida offers compared to other states is very attractive and many want to relocate to Florida. Please do not spoil our state for the current residents. There are other parcels of land on which to build that will not have the negative impact as this will to our local area. As county commissioners, you have a responsibility to preserve the integrity of the land and its surroundings. Please do not allow our city to begin the slippery slope, and resemble those cities whose citizens are leaving. Thank you.

Gentlemen, Reaching out as a resident at Bridgewater Bay and in anticipation of tomorrow’s County Planning Commission Meeting, to confirm my firm opposition to « The Haven Apartment » project, on reasonable grounds recognised, in my understanding, by the vast majority of local residents. Pertinent data (compliments of Dave Renner, Orange Blossom Alliance Leadership Team) pasted below. Best regards, Marco Andreacchio 3053 Driftwood Way, unit 3904 Naples, FL, 34109 Here is a summary of the most recent information we have on the developer's proposal for The Haven Apartment project. o The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 120% higher density than what they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. o The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. o The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. o The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. o The residents of the 12 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. o We have already collected 1,810 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. o Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. This is primarily a family residential area. o The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. o The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small percentage of units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. The Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. o There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments. o The residents of the Orange Blossom Corridor support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. o The Planning Commission and County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighbourhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Dear Commissioner Hall, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex, as I fully support the Orange Blossom Alliance Opposition. I strongly believe that the rezoning will have negative impacts on the community and its residents. Firstly, a 5-story building is not appropriate for the area. The proposed high density will create traffic and safety problems on an already busy street. The additional traffic and congestion will not only cause inconvenience for residents but also create potential hazards for pedestrians and drivers. Secondly, the claim that the rezoning will add affordable housing is not convincing. The lack of proper monitoring of the affordable housing units means that families in need will not benefit the most. The proposed high density will only serve to further exacerbate the existing affordable housing crisis in the area. In conclusion, I urge you to reject the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex. The potential negative impacts on the community and its residents far outweigh any potential benefits that may be gained. Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns.

The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 60% higher density than the highest density existing neighboring complex, the Bear Creek Apartments just to the south of the proposed Haven project. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is 40% higher density than the maximum they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan, even with an affordable housing component. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools already at capacity and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. (this section of Airport Rd has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county). There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. On April 4th the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend the project to the County Commissioners. This is JUST a recommendation. The Commissioners make the final decision on Tuesday, May 23rd. Two planning commission members, Paul Shea and Chuck Schumacher, voted with the residents and OPPOSED the Haven apartments. In his opposition, planning commission member Paul Shea said he thought the project was too high and too dense for the neighborhood while providing only 76 affordable units out of the total of 336 units. We need two of the County Commissioners to share this sentiment. The only reason the developer can get approval for density above 4 units per acre is to include an affordable unit component. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Commissioners to DENY the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. The residents of the 14 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. We have already collected 2,906 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county (like the Pine Ridge/Airport Rd corridor). This is primarily a family residential area. If this Haven complex gets approved, it will lead to changing the character, building height and density of this Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor forever. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout much of the day, the 3rd highest accident rate in Collier County and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small number of just 76 (20%) units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. Developers of similar projects have filled the apartment complex and then sold it within several years. The developer for the similar Pearl Founders Square Apartments at Immokalee and Collier Blvd. recently sold the complex for $125,000,000 just a couple years after approval. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The County has not been enforcing these affordable units effectively. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments and they do have some availability. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor support more affordable housing units in our area, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods, which have 2-3 story buildings and much lower density. CONCLUSION: The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor are asking the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr Hall The proposed development known as The Haven is detrimental and should be rejected. The project will not improve the quality of North Naples for residents or visitors. Why? - the density calculations are skewed by using area not “part”of the project - the existing number of cars making U turns on Airport to access multi-unit dwellings on both sides of the road already create hazardous driving conditions - Orange blossom roadway is used as a walking path and bikeway which will be negatively impacted by additional traffic - the affordable units are not designated specifically therefore not ensuring units for families that require more than one bedroom or a studio The project will negatively impact the community. The project does not adequately address affordable housing units for families. Please VOTE NO.

I would like to begin this email by saying "thank you" to each of you for serving the citizens of our beautiful county and the community we all call home. Regarding the rezoning for the proposed 5 story, 336 unit apartment complex,I have great concerns and am in opposition to the unit per acre proposal for this project. Our North Naples schools are already at their capacity (based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page) Congestion on Airport Rd heading in both directions (north and south) is currently an issue and challenging to travel with the higher density due to Sienna Lakes, and there are currently 2 additional developments under construction on Orange Blossom and Yarberry that will affect traffic on both Orange Blossom and Airport Rd as well The 5 story (70 ft high) proposed complex will be the tallest building in this area and will have a negative effect on the "aesthetics" of this beautiful Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor. The proposal to rezone to 33.6 units per acre is ludicrous and is an astronomical increase from the Comprehensive Growth Plan...Please adhere to the current GMP if the decision to rezone the property is made which limits the density to-4-6 units per acre. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns, and to consider the impact this will have on our beautiful community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High- Density Five-Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples I am writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to follow the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15- acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community and I look forward to your reply.

We appreciate your commitment tooppose the high density 55 ft high 336-unit Haven apartment complex, to be built on15 acres, with a density over 23 units per acre. We understand that two votes are required to deny the Haven project and we plan to schedule a meeting with Commissioner Kowal and the other Commissioners. We also appreciate your agreement that the developer, with a zoning changeapproved by the Commissioners, is ‘eligible’ for a maximum of 10 units per acre perthe GMP and the importance of assuring that the PUD includes the specificity of Landdevelopment Code 2.06. so that affordable housing is definitively provided. As you know, the 12 residential communities in this Orange Blossom corridor represent over 3,000 households and we already have 1,774 signatures on our petition opposing this project. The residents appreciate your efforts and support the need for moreaffordable housing throughout Collier County, but the residents believe this can beachieved while ALSO keeping new projects compatible and consistent with theexisting character, height (current maximum is 42 ft) and density of the neighboringcommunities. We look forward to continuing this discussion and appreciate you standing with the Orange Blossom Alliance for a balanced approach to density as Collier County continues to grow and provide affordable housing for our community.

Deviating from this plan and allowing 34 units per acre is a gross violation of that plan. Naples has been a desirable location for many years. However, increased traffic and congested roadways are causing many to question the desirability of this city. This proposal will add over 700 vehicles to the North Naples area. This is not a good plan for Naples. Please help keep Naples a wonderful place to live and work. Please deny this proposal.

As residents of this area, we have seen recent development result in more congestion and safety concerns. Also, we are concerned that the current infrastructure (e.e., sewer and water) is insufficient to support additional housing.

Dear Commissioner Hall, I am reaching out to you to respectfully request that you do not approve the proposed project on the corner of Orange Blossom and Airport Road. As a Naples resident since 1983, and in Stonegate since 1991, I strongly oppose this high density project as it will negatively impact traffic flow, and School allocations. Not to mention the ambience that is uniquely Naples. I am currently retired however, I was a Collier County special education teacher, Specialist and in a leadership position for 30+ years. I know how an influx of students impacts school zoning. Has anyone considered the possibility of having to rezone the Pelican Marsh elementary school students? Osceola elementary school students? Pine ridge Middle School students ? Baron Collier High School students? Etc. It is my understanding that the schools are filled to capacity. Rezoning would be a nightmare. I am not opposed to building however, let’s keep housing low density (it can still be attainable) so we can enjoy our roadways and our blue skies. Let’s keep Naples, Naples and not turn it into a Miami or Fort Lauderdale.

Dear Sirs, I am deeply concerned regarding the proposed project on the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom roads. Approving that project will negatively impact that beautiful area of Naples.

Traffic have significantly increased over the years.

May 18th,2023 RE: Haven Apartments on Airport Rd / Orange Blossom Corridor Dear Commissioner Hall, Firstly, thank you for your service to our city! My name is Heidi D’Agostino. My family and I have lived at 6860 Lone Oak Blvd in Walden Oaks for the past 18 years. We love the neighborhood and the people we call neighbors. As you know, our city has been rapidly growing, requiring more affordable housing. We definitely acknowledge that we (Collier County) need affordable housing. Please correct me if I have incorrect information, but we don’t think that high rents proposed for The Haven Apartments (ranging from $2200.-$4100) is considered low income We also believe that the proposed development (The Haven Apartments) off of Orange Blossom and Airport Road is not a realistic fit for an already severely congested area. I travel Airport Road and Orange Blossom Road daily and have personally witnessed three near fatal accidents (one an airflight situation) due to overall congestion. Navigating this corridor any time from 6am-6pm can be a daunting task. For example, the turn lanes into Walden Oaks, The Hyundai dealership etc. are often clogged with drivers trying to “save time” by going the incorrect way to access s direction change or simply to U- turn to enter their place of business or residential community. The entrance lanes and the already congested corridor simply cannot handle an additional 336 units/families. The developer is proposing to rezone this area to add 336 units, two, 4-story buildings to an already saturated area of travel. We are opposed to this rezoning request as written. However, we would be willing to consider s much smaller apartment complex, less units and a smaller price tag. We thank you all for you time and consideration in this matter.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Of all the Commissioners, you are the most informed of the negative impact The Haven would impose in this heavily trafficked yet peaceful general neighborhood in North Naples. We are not so naive to think nothing commercial would ever be built at this location but really? The height and density proposed is beyond belief. I have lived on Orange Blossom for 22 years and for 22 years I have had people constantly tell me they think it is the most attractive public road in Naples. With likely 550+ car trips going in and out of these apartments daily, you can assume a large % turn south, will then u-turn to go north, then turn left/west at the Airport Orange Blossom light in order to go West to 41. This intersection already has a high accident rate and very long backups in the evening. Residents can only exit going right (south) and we were told that "somehow" they will not be able to utilize the first u-turn to go north (plastic orange cones?) therefore forcing them to proceed to the second (crossing over two lanes) quickly and meet up with the residents exiting Walden Oaks. I have images of the traffic standstills on Immokolee Road fighting for positions going to/from work every day. There are no other buildings in this area of Airport that are the height proposed. This is out of character for this immediate area and will likely "open a can of worms" that can never be reversed. Do we not have enough "luxury" apartments now who got their density prizes granted by providing some affordable housing? And the word "affordable" is a joke. In an editorial this week, it was so aptly stated that because of our county's high Area Median Income, the availability of affordable housing is absolutely not provided for our essential workers earning $35,000-$60,000. The Haven's rates prohibit those who are in the majority of need from living there. But it sounds good to the public which makes the "higher ups" look good. And the developers get their dream density to the expense of those who are seeing our safe and peaceful city being thrown to the wolves. Please reject this current proposal for its height and density. Maybe a little breathing room and negotiation could culminate in a suitable resolve.

Dear Commissioner Hall, When it comes time to vote on the proposed development called The Haven at North Naples, I hope you will vote NO. First, the new traffic pattern on Orange Blossom due to the building of Sienna Lakes is downright scary. The lanes merge and expand and merge again, and there is now a bend in the road going towards Airport Pulling but in one direction only. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I get to the end of the road. Also, adding to the traffic issues, it is not lit up at night. Orange Blossom to Goodlette Frank is one of the loveliest streets around. However, it is also very dark at night. I can’t imagine the havoc that will be caused by adding 700 more cars to this quiet area. Also, adding 700 more cars daily will add stress to the already crowded stores in our area and add unnecessary traffic delays. Think of the young families trying to get their kids to activities after school. They are on tight schedules as is and more traffic will be a nightmare to them. Think of our older population that might not have the reaction times they once did. How will they deal with more cars cutting in and out and constantly shifting lanes. The height of the proposed development is another issue. Five plus stories are out of character for this part of Naples and will look out of place. It also goes against the Collier Count Growth Management Plan which proposes only 6 units per acre while The Haven would have 34. That is quite a difference in density. Please take a ride up and down Orange Blossom from Livingston to Goodlette Frank at different times of day and then ask yourself, can this area really sustain 700 more cars daily? Please vote with your conscience and vote NO to maintain our beautiful area and to keep it safe for all who live there. Thank you.

This project has a density far greater than airport road and orange blossom can handle. Thank you for your time, my family and neighbors would appreciate your NO VOTE!!

Collier County Commissioners & Collier County Planning Commission Dear Sirs, The Haven at North Naples Proposed Apartment Complex Orange Blossom Drive We write to express our concern about the proposed apartment complex on Orange Blossom Drive. We have already experienced a significant increase in traffic along Orange Blossom Drive since the recent developments along the road to the east of Airport Pulling Road. Traffic will also increase once the current development west of Wellington Drive is completed. We understand that the proposed development is a 5 story structure to be built on a 10 acre parcel of land which would create approximately 34 units per acre whilst the current Growth Management Plan only allows for 6 units per acre for rezoning this parcel. This planning application does appear to be in keeping with the existing structures along this part of the road.

I have been made aware of a proposed apartment complex called The Haven at North Naples. Respectfully, I must voice my strong objection to this project and am asking that you vote to stop it from progressing any further. As I'm sure you are well aware, this area of North Naples has grown rapidly and with this growth has come excessive traffic on Goodlette Frank, Orange Blossom, Airport Pulling and even my small neighborhood (Emerald Lakes) which has become a short cut for many motorists. When I purchased my home 10 years ago, the roads were quiet and rarely were there any traffic backups. Now there is always snarled traffic (throughout the year) and frequent car accidents and traffic-related injuries. As I understand it, the proposed new Haven complex would add hundreds of additional vehicles to the daily traffic congestion which would further exasperate an already critical infrastructure problem. Thank you for your attention in this matter and thank you in advance for stopping this development.

To stop receiving such messages from this sender, please unsubscribe Dear Commissioner Hall, My husband and I attended the meeting Wednesday evening regarding the proposed new development of medical offices and a FOUR STORY storage bunker at the corner of Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Rd. You should have been there. Although this was only an informational meeting required by Collier County, there was no one in authority there to advocate for the very concerned neighbors who will be adversely affected. The auditorium was filled to almost capacity, and our very real concerns fell on the deaf ears of the Lutgart attorneys. Although the main concern is adding even more traffic to an already overburdened Orange Blossom Road, my personal concern is the four story (80 ft.!) cement box that is proposed. Thank you for sitting on the affordable housing committee, and I agree that issue is very important. However, the proposed development on the corner of Orange Blossom and Airport is not in the interest of any of your constituents who live along Orange Blossom, and as someone who voted for you, I respectfully request that you make the proposed encroachment on our neighborhood your priority. Thank you.

February has come and gone and what an amazing winter we have had. I have always said, “Naples makes it hard to travel!” It really does. Season is “marching” along and business, beaches and restaurants are in full swing. It’s been a super busy month at the County.

Commissioner Hall's Involvement in the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) Making progress this month for the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) involved a February 2nd meeting with the Surtax Subcommittee as well as the general monthly AHAC meeting on February 15th. I campaigned hard on the idea of private sector housing solutions for the working people of Collier County. When I took my seat on the committee in December 2022, I made it clear I wasn’t interested in talking about the housing problem any longer. It had been talked about far too long and I was only interested in action. Senior staff was added to the committee in November 2022 and have been extremely helpful in moving things along. Leaders from Growth Management, Planning and Zoning, Development Review and Economic Development and Housing have helped step up the pace from this committee. We have a $20 million surtax sub-committee that has met twice and are very close to presenting to the BCC recommending the strategy to spend that fund wisely. The mission of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee is to review and make recommendations to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners regarding the local housing affordability options and incentives, evaluate established policies, procedures, ordinances, land development regulations and the local government comprehensive plan. Since 2019, Collier County has approved, constructed and implemented 2,443 Affordable Units. More are to come as we act on ideas to do something about living spaces for our essential workers.

Tour of Pelican Bay Services Report a Concern to Collier County Pelican Bay Services Tour What a privilege it was to be escorted around the Pelican Bay Community on February 2nd by our county's own Chad Coleman. We began at the administrative offices on the first floor of Truist Bank (best chairs of any boardroom I’ve seen), to the new sidewalk project that is going all throughout PB. The skid steer that grades the path has a GPS-guided bucket that self adjusts to arrive to the perfect grade. Then, the concrete is loaded into the “sidewalk maker” (looks like something from Star Wars) and poof, the perfect sidewalk is formed. We then made our way to the berm that has a path all the way to the beach. The county manages all storm water that flows from the north to the south under the berm into the mangroves. We checked out the 12 acres the county owns right in the middle of PB. Here, the maintenance barn, equipment, staff and the IQ (irrigation quality water) tanks are held. It’s quite an operation that is managed to perfection under Mr. Coleman’s leadership. Chad is a former battle tested Marine with multiple tours under his belt. The speed of the group is determined by the speed of the leader and the Pelican Bay Services bunch is off and running. Lastly, we toured the beach from Bay Colony all the way to Clam Pass. The work, effort and results since Hurricane Ian is spectacular. We are still waiting on power to be restored to the North restaurant but the cleanup was impressive. Once again, thanks to Chad Coleman for his gracious hospitality and his leadership with Pelican Bay Services. Commissioner Hall Throws the First Pitch Throwing the first pitch of the season... When asked to throw out the first pitch of the season to begin the Naples Cal Ripken Baseball League on February 4th, I thought, “This should be fun”. Little did I know what a big deal this was. Veterans Park was packed with people, parents, children, firefighters, players, coaches, umpires and board personnel. When the Star Spangled Banner was sang, everyone present stood, faced the flag and took a few moments to honor our country! Just the way it should be. There was even a bald eagle on her nest up high in the stadium lights. The kids were asked by Brian, the program announcer, if they thought Commissioner Hall would throw a ball or a strike? Almost in unison they shouted, “ a ball!” . They were so right, they counted down from 3, and I let go the perfect pitch straight toward the plate! It was perfect until it landed 6 ft short and bounced over the plate into the catchers mitt. But, the season was started and I was so tickled to represent my District 2 as Commissioner to be a part of Americas local pastime.

It was an honor to welcome them to the opening of their Naples flagship store. Thank you for investing in Collier County. Tour of Arthrex On February 13th, my wife and I were graced with a tour of the Arthrex Naples Complex. Dennis O’Keefe met us in the lobby of the Innovation Hotel. This hotel hosts Doctors and Surgeons from all over the world to come to Arthrex for education and application of the worlds most advanced medical devices available. We read the history wall of the company which began and is still privately run by Reinhold Schmieding. We then toured the innovative labs and creative work spaces, the state-of-the- art studios, the classrooms (even accidentally intruded on one), and the practice labs. These labs contained real life looking and feeling knees, shoulders, hands, and feet. Here, Doctors can come in and get hands-on experience with the latest tools. Arthrex is the largest employer in Collier County. They employ approximately 4,000 people locally and 7,000 throughout the country. They provide much more than jobs. They provide restaurants, 24-hr workout facilities, and are now interested in affordable workforce housing. We are very blessed to have a first class company like this in Collier County. We met with Reinhold and senior staff in a round table discussion to brainstorm needs and solutions for housing. It is a topic that is of utmost importance to me and as well as people who we all rely and depend upon to bring valuable services to Collier County. It was an amazing morning and I was happy to get to tour such a company tucked right here in the middle of District 2. Murray Hendel Award Reception On February 23rd, I was proud to be a part of those present to watch Ms. Nina Gray receive the Murray Hendel Award, an annual award given to someone who made extraordinary contributions to Collier County civic achievements that merited widespread recognition. Nina Gray was named the recipient of the 5th annual Murray Hendel Achievement Award for her tireless work in aiding the needy of Collier County. Domestic Animal Services Tour On February 23rd, I toured Collier County’s Domestic Animal Shelter (DAS) on Davis Blvd. Director Marcy Perry has turned around a struggling program with staff and a large volunteer base that runs like a smooth machine. The day we were there, there were about 120 dogs and 85 cats, many of which were managed with volunteers. The DAS facilities may not look large from the street, but there are several buildings which house the distinct functions of DAS. They have a building primarily dedicated for cats, two buildings for dogs, a stable for barn animals, and a veterinarian clinic building where medical surgical procedures are done, animals needing quarantined are cared for, and other essential medical care is provided. There are also designated areas for new animal in-take. For those wishing to visit the animals, DAS has designated inside and outside areas where prospective owners can spend time playing with a pet to learn more about them before fostering or adopting. Outside there were numerous fenced-in areas for walking and playing with the animals. So many of the animals were clearly overjoyed in playtime with the volunteers! It made my heart happy to see the wonderful care that each animal is provided. DAS has made amazing progress toward ending pet overpopulation. Each adoption includes the pet spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, testing and preventative care as well as a 1-year Collier County license. In addition, they have a student reading program for pets where children use library books to read to the animals. Another way Collier County residents can show their love and compassion while the animals await their turn to be adopted. To see all the animals available for adoption or to donate, volunteer, adopt, foster, or to simply learn more about DAS, go here: https://www.colliercountyfl.gov/government/public-services/divisions/domestic- animal-services A huge “Thank you” to Director Marcy Perry, her staff, and all of the volunteers that make DAS shine!

To Our County Commissioners, I moved to Naples in 1998, having been a residential realtor for 10 years in Miami and Indianapolis. I recognized the potential for growth and had mixed emotions which continue. The peace, protected environmental areas, ease of traveling the local roads has nearly been eliminated...so hundreds, if not thousands of us, are choosing to voice our opinions about the potential development of the Haven Apartments proposed beside the Italian American Club. At this time the tallest building in this area is only 3 stories high, whereby this 5 story complex would alter the look and feel of the North Airport area. Please envision the additional 400-600 cars per day needing to exit to the south on Airport and likely half of them trying to cross 3 lanes to get into one of nearby u-turns to go north. This could be a nightmare for everyone traveling daily on Airport. Have you experienced the traffic buildup at the traffic light on Orange Blossom there between 4:30-6:00 pm and work traffic in the a.m.? Do we really think the road to the Carlisle can handle the "back-up" of the Haven residents waiting in line for their turn to cross 3 lanes? At what time would it eventually be proposed to add an exit onto Orange Blossom? I am not writing as only a resident on Orange Blossom, but also as a realtor and friend to many in Naples who constantly mention they think Orange Blossom is the prettiest and most peaceful road in North Naples. We were told it could easily handle additional traffic and as I understand it, the last traffic study was done during high Covid time, and perhaps not during "season". The landscaped median, sidewalks on both sides, protected preserve, beautiful mature trees would likely need to go eventually and we would have another sterile traffic mess. The neighborhood entries would need to be shortened, leaving backups on Orange Blossom. We would all need to do even more u-turns daily since it would be impossible to turn left. This area's schools are at maximum capacity. Where would they put all the classroom trailers? I am also at a loss trying to understand what "attainable"/"affordable" housing is. It sounds good for the developer or is it dictated, and just who sets the parameters? We all agree it is necessary but how can new construction provide anything truly affordable? Just sounds good, right? Couldn't some existing rental properties be purchased? The other properties under construction, proposed, and expanding developments will add higher density in this area and the eventual traffic was not represented in the applicant's traffic study. Why is that? Is this not a major alteration to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan? This area could soon look similar to the Immokolee / Airport congestion and would directly affect the only entries/exits to the many communities along Airport. The surrounding neighborhoods' residents are asking for much lower density more consistent with the area. Hopefully news of the proposed development will raise the awareness to the thousands who must travel to/from work using this Orange Blossom and/or Airport area. They could easily add 10-15 minutes to their daily traffic time. Please take the time to consider the long term effects that this high density proposed development could have in North Naples and Naples in general.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr hall I am a home owner in Walden Oaks , and have been for the past 25 years. The proposed development south of the Italian American club on Airport Road. I believe to be an ill construed project. The traffic on Airport Road prevents people from getting in an out of Neighborhoods , without serious risk of injury, due to heavy traffic conditions and the use of u-turns.. This complex Will certainly lower property values in this area. I and many others believe this will lower the quality of life in this area. I do not know what criteria is used for traffic studies, but I cannot believe that the traffic conditions which would only be worse would be acceptable to the county for this kind of complex. Additionally, I would like to say that a four-story building in this particular area would be an eyesore regardless of design. We already have a four-story monolith at the corner of Airport in Orange Blossom in the sienna lakes addition. Therefore based on all of the above as a taxpayer and local resident I am totally against this project.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, We are contacting you today regarding our continued opposition to the rezoning proposal for the Haven Apartment Complex. We understand the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend you and your fellow County Commissioners make the final decision on May 23rd, We purchased our home in Mill Run in 2018 due to it being located in a primarily existing residential corridor. It is our understanding that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor in fact, is not designated as an urban activity center by the county. We would like to expand and provide a few key points of concern. Density. The developer is requesting 336 units which translates to 22.4 units per acre. This is 60% higher than the highest density existing neighborhood, Bear Creek, just south of the proposed Haven Complex. During this process we have learned that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor currently has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county. With approval, these density levels would only exacerbate the congestion and further burden our overcrowded schools. Character. The developer's proposed 4-Story complex remains 60 ft tall, which is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building which is the adjacent Carlisle Assisted Living facility. Couple this with the density comments above, it appears that this would be moving closer to an urban activity center with approval of the rezoning request. Affordable housing. We recognize this is an important issue for Naples and many parts of our Country. Given the proposed monthly rental rates, this appears to be a higher end rental property with a small percentage assigned "Affordable". How will the ratio between market rate and affordable be managed and enforced with the developer? It is clear to us that balancing the concerns with the needs of a thriving community is paramount. Perhaps remaining closer to the existing 42-foot height of the Carlisle and with a density closer to the 14 units per acre of Bear Creek would be more appropriate in this corridor which I know is unique to both Naples and Collier County. Growth and progress is expected and needed. Managed and thoughtful growth should be a priority. Please join us, the 14 nearby communities and nearly 3,000 residents that have signed the petition and deny the developer's request for rezoning. We sincerely thank you for your consideration.

Hello Mr. Hall, As a resident of Bridgewater Bay (Orange Blossom), I am asking all of the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments. Please apply common sense to your decision with regard to density and traffic impact this project. Thank you for listening.

We request the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to deny the South Carolina Johnson Development's Growth Management Plan Amendment and Mixed- Use Planned Unit Development Ordinance for the following reasons: The Haven apartment complex composed of 60 ft 4-story 336 units (22.4 per acre) is 120% higher density than they are eligible for based on the current County Growth Management Plan; Almost 50% higher than the tallest building in the neighborhood (Carlisle Assisted Living); Not compatible or consistent with the character, height and density of this high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Amendment being sought by the developer lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The Developer is asking for high rents (from $2,200 to $4,200 per month), nowhere near an affordable range; There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the proposed Haven complex (Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments). The Orange Blossom/Airport Road corridor is not designated as an urban activity center. It is primarily a family residential area. We do support more affordable housing units with lower density that is more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre - as clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan - is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and will still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments. -- Ellen Nowacki and Dale Borsenik From:Ellen Nowacki To:HallChris; KowalDan; SaundersBurt; McDanielBill; LoCastroRick Subject:Proposed Rezoning for Haven Apartment Complex Date:Monday, May 15, 2023 10:13:04 AM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Those of us who live within the Orange Blossom corridor have legitimate opposition to this project as it will have a decidedly negative impact on this area such as overpopulating the schools, traffic congestion, and overcrowding this 10 acre parcel with an outlandishly large 5 story complex. We are asking that you not approve this rezoning request. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am writing to you to voice my opposition to this proposed rezoning. Like many area residents, I am concerned about the impact this project will have on our schools and to the traffic congestion in the vicinity of Orange Blossom Dr. and Airport-Pulling Rd. My family recently moved to Naples from Ohio in part to escape out-of- control and irresponsible development that led to unsustainable overcrowding in our schools and strains on public infrastructure. Please do not provide a rubber stamp to developers that seek to profit off of over- development in Naples at the expense of our quality of life. Avoid sacrificing the education of our children by making their classroom experience a trailer permanently placed on school grounds. That's how our previous hometown, Dublin, OH, had to deal with overcrowded schools at all grade levels as out-of-control development exceeded the pace of planning and investing in schools and community infrastructure. I fear Naples and Collier County are on a similar path based on the Collier County Public Schools report that the majority of the schools currently do not have available capacity. You can prevent this by: Only approving development projects that are consistent with the existing area from a density, height, and aesthetics perspective. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5- story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. Upholding the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. This proposed project is 33.6 units per acre, a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan. Adhering to section 2.06 of the Collier County Land Development Code. Requiring a full 12 month traffic study. Residents believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of the entire Naples area. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment and schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested, overcrowded, and less desirable place to work and live? I urge our County officials to carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. 3. The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. 1. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. 1. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. 1. The residents of the 12 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. 2. We have already collected 1,810 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. 1. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. This is primarily a family residential area. 1. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. 2. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small percentage of units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. The Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. 3. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments. 4. The residents of the Orange Blossom Corridor support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. 5. The Planning Commission and County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Haven Apartments Dear Commissioner, My name is Michael Walcott and my wife and I own a single family home in Mill Pond Circle right off of Orange Blossom. We moved to Naples from Fort Lauderdale because of the several factors including getting away from crime, high density housing and traffic. Since we moved to Naples 10 years ago we have already seen significant growth and traffic. I understand growth is needed but hope that our commissioners are looking at a balanced approach. High density apartments do not fit the dynamic of the Orange Blossom area. Please be mindful of current Naples residents when approving such projects. Naples is always in the top 10 of towns to move to and we want to keep it that way.

Hopefully the position will prove to be all that you anticipated. As it happens, you and I met twice during your campaign, albeit briefly, at the Orange Blossom Library.. On the first occasion, I mentioned that I had already voted for you. The second time I assured you that my wife had voted for you as well. Your office has special significance for my wife and me. We moved here ten years ago from Staten Island, New York. Though lifetime residents of Staten Island, we felt compelled to leave because of the unpleasant changes there. As a result of poor, improper,and sometimes dishonest planning, Staten Island had changed from a friendly, easygoing, uncrowded community, becoming instead an unattractive, overcrowded, often harsh environment, choked by traffic congestion. Visiting a friend in Naples some years ago, we were delighted to find a friendly, clean, well planned community. And so we moved here, It is our hope that Naples will remain this kind of community. Obviously much depends on the Commissioners and the Planning Commission. Of special interest in that context is the development proposed for the property across the way from the Orange Blossom Library. My understanding is that the rezoning of this property would ordinarily allow for 4 to 6 homes per acre, but there is a proposal to place 336 housing units on the ten acres. It is our hope that the Planning Commissioner and the County Commissioners will not approve this proposal, thus preserving the sense of the surrounding community. One last personal note. It is certainly not our feeling that now that we are here in Naples, it is time to close the gates. Reasonable and proper development surely makes sense. Thank you for listening. Very truly yours, Robert Minogue .

It would be wonderful if we could plan for a vibrant community center at Headquarters Public Library/North Collier Government center. In the meantime, perhaps such high density housing as proposed at the Haven at North Naples would be better situated at another location. As an example; the parcel for sale beside Dicks Sporting Goods on Naples Boulevard could accommodate an apartment building. Residents can exit and enter at an existing traffic lighted intersection. Residents can walk to the movie theater, Miller’s Ale House, Cost Co, Staples and numerous other restaurants. A park, similar to Baker Park the City of Naples included in their re-development plan, would be super at Headquarters Public Library. This would enable residents to ‘live where they live’. Thank you, Coco Heinrich Sent from Mail for Windows From: Coco Heinrich Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2022 1:46 PM To: bill.mcdaniel@colliercountyfl.gov Subject: Airport Pulling & Orange Blossom Intersection Hello Bill, I am writing to you, chair of the Collier County Commissioners, in conjunction with the proposed ‘Haven at North Naples’ high rise apartments. At the Orange Blossom Alliance meeting yesterday evening, I presented a 10 slide power point presentation. The 5 minute presentation received strong support (seating ovation) from the 200+ residents in attendance. This email is about the opportunity for a development plan encompassing the intersection anchored by North Collier Government Center and Headquarters Public Library, Orange Blossom & Airport Pulling. Wouldn’t it be great for Collier County to create a community center around Headquarters Public Library with a park? Headquarters Public Library and the government center already draw people from all over the community. After taking their children to ‘story hour’ families could walk to and enjoy the park. More importantly, with the park we would be creating a place for people living in the area to walk to and enjoy. The good news is the area already has sidewalks. With a park people can walk to; we are encouraging and enabling the residents to ‘live’ in the area surrounding their apartments and homes. With a potential ‘bicycle rental stand’ at the park; residents can cycle to the restaurant Food & Thought 2 and use the grocery market next door. Publix and several other restaurants and businesses are at that intersection as well. (Vanderbilt and Airport Pulling intersection.) You may be aware the City of Naples has completed a wonderful re-development plan at the intersection of Goodlette Frank and Central Ave with the opening of Baker Park in 2019. The re- development plan encompasses the area along Goodlette Frank to the future Gulfshore Play House, Lotus Construction’s housing development, Bayfront shops & condos, and the condo development across from Bayfront. The vision to build Baker Park is what enables this area to be ‘truly’ liveable. Via Baker Park residents can access a kayak launch, boat dock, outdoor fitness facility, walk/bike a 1.3 mile loop, walk their dogs on leash, use the playground, picnic area, and even a splash pad, with their families. The proposed Haven at North Naples high rise apartment complex as a part of the Carlisle brings many challenges to overcome. One is the number of cars and how many trips these cars will be making in and out of the Haven each day. Many of the apartments will have more than two cars as renters often have roommates that also have cars. The current plan is for 336 apartments. That would be a minimum of 672 cars. Where can these people go on foot? Or bike? And to do what? At present we do not have a ‘built environment’ plan, i.e., park, restaurants, that would enable this number of apartment residents to ‘stay home’ once they return from work. This means multiple car trips throughout any given day. I do not support a five story development with the resident density this entails. I support any apartment buildings to be the height of the neighboring / existing apartments on Airport Pulling, i.e., roof at three stories maximum. It would be unfortunate if the approval of this development becomes the new normal and the Airport Pulling & Orange Blossom intersection will follow suite with more high rise apartment towers. Proceeding with proposed projects like ‘the Haven’ would irrevocably prevent a vision like the one outlined above to ever be realized in this unique area. We have an opportunity to make a development plan for the Headquarters Public Library intersection. This is not any intersection. It is already a meeting point where residents go for community services. I do not support the underground water storage tanks that are proposed. What will be above these tanks? Parking lots for the 672+ cars? There is a danger this site will be concrete and high rise buildings. Usually retention ponds are part of a site plan. Is there ‘green space’ / water for the residents to stay home and enjoy. Playground with trees? Dog park? I would be happy to give you the presentation I delivered to the Orange Blossom Alliance. Can we meet for 15 minutes this week or next?

Subject: Walden Oaks HOA - Orange Blossom Alliance/Airport Rd Corridor Residents Call to Action in Opposition to the Proposed Rezoning for The Haven at North Naples Apartment Project Dear Collier County Commissioners', As a resident of the Walden Oaks community, directly across the street from the above-mentioned proposed rezoning. We are adamantly opposed to any proposal that would limit our ingress and egress from our community via Airport Road. We currently enjoy a left hand turn from southbound Airport travel and a left turn and u-turn on southbound travel. The proposed rezone will no doubt hamper if not completely eliminate this access that we so vitally need. We urge you to come up with a better plan for ingress and egress option for the aforementioned rezone in order to accommodate all that will be impacted by this proposal.

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, Just yesterday there was another accident at the Orange Blossom and Airport Road intersection. If the Haven Apartment development is approved there will be hundreds more cars regularly driving on this very dangerous area of road. Please do not approve this development! My husband is a developer. I’m not against properly planned development. However this project by a North Carolina developer was doomed from the start. The building height is unprecedented in the area and they are trying to use the Carlyle assisted living facility to improve their density numbers. They can’t make enough profits on the small lot size so they are trying everything they can to manipulate the numbers. And the affordable housing they say they will offer can not be monitored - I’d make a bet with you that only the very small one bedroom apartments are made available to the community service workers, not the larger units needed by families. It’s pretty obvious they are using "affordable housing" as a reason for this project’s approval. How will this be monitored? There are no rules in the developers contract for the county to make sure this need is satisfied. From the start, the business model was never viable. Don’t cave into cleverly modified numbers and best intentions. This corner of Orange Blossom and Airport is a low density area. It has a library building, a church, small social club and plant nursery. Around that is only single family homes, with a few buildings for assisted living residents. This is not a commercial area like corners on Airport and Vanderbilt Roads, and Airport and Pine Ridge Roads. I am particularly worried for the young people that drive to high schools in the area. It's already a dangerous area to drive. More traffic here will cause more injury and deaths. I attended the April 6 meeting when the developer shared traffic data that was completely inaccurate for the area. Please know the traffic data the developer presented is inaccurate! I understand there is a similar apartment housing development going in on Vanderbilt Road west of Tamiami Road. This one is better planned. Less density and without the tall structures that will set a precedent for building in the area. And affordable housing opportunities. It can be done. The Haven Apartment developers want more profits. Don’t give into a business plan that never worked from the start. Thank you for listening.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Chris, I am one of your supporters at the recent election. I also supported Andy Solis, and was extremely disillusioned by his support of the major project right on Vanderbilt Beach. The pleas of the people who live in that area fell on deaf ears. Even though the proposed Haven of Naples on Orange Blossom Drive won't come before the Board of County Commissioners for at least 3 or 4 months, I am asking you to listen to your constituents on this dangerous development for the residents who live off of Orange Blossom Drive right now. I live in Bridgewater Bay at the corner of Orange Blossom and Livingston Road. When Sienna Lakes opened, they made a horrible diversion in the road that nearly got people killed before they were used to it. This stretch of road is very heavily traveled all day long, but it is dangerous in the morning and evening depending on the direction you are driving and at what time of day. The sun can be brutal on our stretch of the road, the eastern end. But the new complex will be a different kind of danger as its exit will be across from the Collier Headquarters Library and Government Building. The traffic from the Baptist Academy adds to the problem as kids are dropped off there in the morning and picked up all afternoon long. I can cite other issues, but I think you know what my point is. The Carlisle Retirement community is the neighbor for the road that will lead to this project. Please support those who supported you. I have included another letter from a lady who lives at Bridgewater Bay who sent it to the wrong commissioner. I appreciate your interest and share in our concerns. Sincerely., Good Morning Bridgewater Bay, Patti Jorgensen is one of our residents who emailed Rick Castro, Collier County Commissioner, District 1., regarding the proposed development of the property on the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom. He responded to her email and she asked me to share the email exchange with our residents. Commissioner LoCastro, I am writing in opposition to the proposed development just south of the Italian American Center - The Haven at North Naples. I am asking you to oppose this development as well due to already failed infrastructure issues in that area. I am a long-time property owner at Bridgewater Bay on Orange Blossom Drive between Livingston and Airport-Pulling. Due to the development of Siena Lakes Senior Living Community, directly adjacent to our community, we are facing extreme difficulties with traffic on Orange Blossom Drive. I encourage you to park your vehicle along Orange Blossom any day between about 4:30pm and 6:00pm and watch the traffic. We are simply not able NOW to leave Bridgewater Bay onto Orange Blossom during that time because the traffic is backed up from Livingston to past Siena Lakes. The current infrastructure falls far short of what is needed, particularly on Orange Blossom and Airport. PLEASE do not support the further development of “The Haven….” and add stress to the already-stressed roads and intersections in this immediate area.

Patti Jorgensen 3055 Horizon Lane #1704 Naples, FL Patti I appreciate your note and concerns. Although this piece of land is not in my District -- all Commissioners will obviously still vote on this proposal when it comes before us. It's still in the early stages as you know… has not even come to the County Planning Commission yet--which is a major stop before being presented to all five Commissioners for any vote… so citizens attending Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs) is important and your chance to speak with, negotiate, and ask questions of the contractor who is proposing the project. Current projections show the project is pending its 4th submittal… so a current estimated timeline would be March/April before the Planning Commission… and an April/May presentation in front of the County Commissioners.

Traffic in the vicinity of Airport-Pulling and Orange Blossom has increased tremendously in the past 10 years. We frequently bicycle on Orange Blossom road, and we feel that car and truck traffic is reaching a dangerous level. It is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs, including those between a car and bike. We could not believe it when the Sienna Lakes development was approved a few years ago. We felt at the time that the area roads were already reaching maximum capacity. The Haven at North Naples would make the traffic situation untolerable, and would have a significant impact on our quality of life. Please vote against this unwarranted development. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to state my opposition to the zoning regulation changes and asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. I, along with other residents of the Orange Blossom corridor, support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. The developers bought the property being fully aware of the existing P&Z regulations. The existing zoning regulations are lenient enough for the developers to build something that will make a nice profit. However, a change to the existing zoning laws would not only forever change the landscape of this parcel of land, it would be setting a dangerous precedent for other properties in the future to being rezoned. There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection. Developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. If that happens, that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with more overcrowding in the schools, major safety concerns for pedestrians and increased traffic. I urge The Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments. Thank you very much for your time and thoughtful consideration of this matter.

I know you have heard it before but may I voice my emphatic disapproaval to the new Haven Apartment Complex. I, the resident of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor am asking the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Dear Commissioner Hall, As a resident of the Orange Blossom Corridor (Calusa Bay), I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed Haven Apartment Complex and am asking you to vote against it this morning. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. This project would create even more intensity and congestion in our neighborhood, and is not consistent with the character, height, and density of the neighboring communities. The Haven would be a tipping point project.

I am VERY MUCH APPOSED to having multi units built off of Airpot Pulling Road. I already have a difficult time getting out onto Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Road with traffic cutting through at speeds much higher than thirty miles an hour impossible to cut in at times. During rush hour cars backed up on Orange Blossom trying to get onto Airport are backed up a third the distance of Orange Blossom…home owners trying to get out of their communities onto Orange Blossom’s CAN NOT get out. Can’t imagine the traffic with hundreds of more units being built in this area. This area already has the highest number of accidents in all of Collier County.

Dear Commissioner Hall, We are writing to voice our opposition to the proposed Haven Apartment Project. We are asking that you deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment and Mixed Use Planned Unit Development Ordinance. The developer is proposing a project way above what is in our current County Growth Management Plan. The density and building height are not supported by the Plan, or with what is currently in the area. As well as not being supported by our current Plan, the density is just too high. The location of the proposed development is NOT designated as an urban activity area by the County and is already a highly congested area. While we support more affordable housing, the current plan lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering units to lower income individuals. We support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing that is more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. We implore you to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height, and density of the neighborhood and will still contribute to the County’s and resident’s desire for more affordable apartments.

Dear Commissioners Hall, Kowal, Saunders, McDaniels and LoCastro, I am writing you to request that revision be made to the traffic pattern which was approved by the Plan Commission. The Orange Blossom Coalition placed considerable pressure on the members of the plan commission to approved a plan that provided no road access to Orange Blossom. The result was that a dangerous routing of the ingress and egress of this development was approved by them. Please consider revising the traffic flow to include an exit only right hand turn from the development onto Orange Blossom near Airport Rosd. This solution would considerable reduce the mayhem that would result from the current plan. It would provide for far easier exit for the residents who desire to go east bound on Orange Blossom, north bound on Airport or south bound on Airport. Thank you for your consideration.

It is our understanding that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor in fact, is not designated as an urban activity center by the county. We would like to expand and provide a few key points. Density. The developer is requesting 336 units which translates to 22.4 units per acre. This is 120% higher density than what they are eligible for based on the current county growth management plan. These density levels would only exacerbate the overcrowded schools and overall congestion of the area. Growth is inevitable, however, when managed it can be productive. Perhaps staying closer to the current stated county management plan of 10 units per acre is an option. Character. The developer's re-proposed 4-Story complex remains 60 ft tall, which is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building which is the adjacent Carlisle Assisted Living facility. Couple this with the density comments above, it appears that this would be moving closer toward an urban activity center. Affordable housing. Clearly a hot button in many areas of the country and something we recognize as very important. Given the proposed monthly rental rates, this appears to be a higher end rental property with a small percentage assigned "Affordable". How will the ratio between market rate and affordable be managed and enforced with the developer? Lastly, if this rezoning is approved, what is next? We feel this will open the door for more developers to push the new limits even further. It's easy to see how this can spiral in the wrong direction for an area that is very unique to Naples and Collier County. We ask that you stay with the current stated growth management plan. Growth and progress is expected. Managed and thoughtful growth should be a priority. Thank you for your consideration.

This email is urge you to vote NO on May 23, 2023 to the rezoning for Haven Apartments My wife and I live in Bridgewater Bay on Orange Blossom and are extremely concerned that the Haven apartments, as currently planned, will forever change the residential character of the Orange Blossom corridor, in a negative way. Traffic will be a mess at the Airport Rd intersection, and the height and density of the apartment complex will overwhelm our residential neighborhood. I realize Naples needs more affordable housing but it needs to be compatible with the neighborhood. Send the developer back to the drawing board to design something compatible with existing zoning. -- Louis and Louise Dodd 3052 Horizon Ln, Naples, FL 34109 From:HallChris To:mackeyjv@comcast.net Subject:Re: Haven Apartment Zoning Date:Sunday, May 7, 2023 5:08:59 PM John, Couldn’t agree more. This is a carrot to get density and profit. In just two more months, by state law, and overriding any and all local governance, the project gets 40% of the total as affordable. So, I’m going to argue hard to oppose this project as it is planned right now. Things do and can change so I’m paying close attention. Thx again for your comments. They are spot on.

Chris, I realize you have gotten a lot of emails on this issue but frankly I would be surprised if you hear from anyone as knowlegeable about affordable income development of low income housing. I thought we would let you know our thoughts. I am a retired CPA who spent at least 20 years structuring affordable developments using the 4% credit (tax exempt bonds) and the 9% credit (annual allocations by state) as a senior partner with a national CPA firm that specialized in this area. I am still considered a National expert in this field and still being called upon. It is because I am so knowledgeable about this area that I know how meaningless the number of affordable units the developer is proposing is and what alternatives make sense. Usually, when a developer is asking for a variance on the number of units, it is to make up for the benefit differences impacting cost considerations of the number of units. At 30 affordable units, that number of units would not result in such a need for added units as this proposal indicates. We can have a call if you so desire to learn other ways of addressing this issue.

Commissioner, We believe that the developer is using the affordablity component to justify density that is much higher than nearby buildings. A smarter way to increase affordability is to purchase a rundown strip mall, demolish it and build a significant number of units that meet current density standards. Use of the low income credit to build many more affordable units would achieve a more desired result. Another problem is access to the roads surrounding the property which depend in this case of using an adjacent property to achieve access without discussion of what the commitment is on the part of that entity.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Sadly, I will be unable to attend the County Commissioners meeting on May 23. However, I wish to register my objection to the Haven Apartments proposal for North Naples. Giving approval to such a scheme, would establish a dangerous precedent for the area and change its character for many years to come - long after those supporting and giving approval to the scheme, are out of office. The Airport - Orange Blossom corridor is highly congested throughout the year and not just "in season" Mn I understand that statistically, the area features as one of the top accident black spots in the County. An increase in the number of residents, leads to an increase in the number of vehicles, which will only exacerbate the situation. I am given to understand that the proposed development is intended to be a "luxury" complex with a fifth of the properties being designated as "affordable." But there are similarly designated units in the area, some of these are currently vacant. Are there sufficient safeguards in place to prevent the out of State developer using the "affordability" card as leverage, only to make a "killing" down the line by unloading, further down the line? The fact that so many units are planned for such a relatively small area, displays opportunism! Again, thinking of the density issue, the question should asked, "is there an infrastructure plan in place to accommodate the needs of an increase in the areas population?" I trust that the Commissioners will see sense and reject this scheme!

I am urging you and pleading with you to please vote no on this new apartment complex. Yes I do understand that people need a place to live but at the same time so do me and my family. We just purchased a condo in the emerald lakes condo community. We paid top dollar and at a high interest rate we did it because we are fleeing NY. What we are fleeing is high taxes, high crime and poorer quality of life. All of which I see and many more with this new apartment complex. This will severely lower the values of all surrounding properties. It also will take away rental income as if these people qualify they can rent out their apartment for far less in the same area, what’s the bargain. All people are good in nature but when people have less money it’s human nature to struggle to survive and go to any means including violence to get what they want. I’m in my 70s I can’t deal with that. I came to North Naples in particular due to its low crime rates, great quality of living and to feel as if I’m living amongst the most affluent. With this in the neighborhood it will lead to many more and soon enough the demographics will change and votes will go from red to blue. They tell me don’t NY my Florida well this is exactly what a yes vote would do to this utopia I call North Naples. There are plenty of places in Naples like south Naples, golden gate and many others, why pick the most desirable place? Why ruin a good thing.

We briefly met at Cooper Narrell's grad party last year. I am reaching out to mention the upcoming vote for the Haven Apartment Rezoning project. Interestingly, its nearby (we live in Il Regalo Circle). Nearby apartments are already in place (Bear Creek and Oasis). Our neighborhood has had a few encounters with Oasis residents (from cars broken into to, to trespassing kids in the neighborhood - the suspects always lead back to Oasis per the police). It is what it is. I understand our Orange Blossom alliance is really targeting the height and scale of this project. Personally, I just call a spade a spade and know what else 300 additional nearby apartment units brings. Affordable housing yes, but so comes an additional 300+ car traffic count on a major road with no appropriate entrance, and unfortunately, likely a spike in crime. I am all for growth, but not cramming growth in areas that are already near capacity. We already have 2 home communities getting crammed into the little land left on Yarberry and Orange Blossom. It will be interesting to see how Orange Blossom / Yarberry handle the already backed up traffic issue during season. Lastly, my parents were both residents at the Carlisle Retirement Community. Its laughable that they will move the entrance gate to 'contain' the residents. Not a day goes by without a resident wandering off and its round the clock ambulances should be really studied if they have adequate access. The fire chief formerly told our Orange Blossom alliance the Carlisle was the #1 emergency call they receive. 300 cars going in and out of the same entrance with emergency vehicles will cause issues regardless. The routes were studied at length by the fire department when they attempted to rezone the Yarberry land to create a main fire station hub. It was going to require traffic lights to control Orange Blossom traffic flow all to allow them access to the #1 call they receive from the Carlisle residents. Ultimately they were going to enlarge Orange Blossom and put a traffic signal at Yarberry/Orange Blossom for the project to work. Thankfully it was denied. Much appreciate your valuable time. Best of luck on the new post - stay tuned we will have a grand reopening of our store on Taylor Road this fall after our remodel (Home and Salvage) love to have you stop by.

Dear Mr. Hall, I have been a resident of Naples since 1986 and have lived in the Villages of Monterey since 1997. I am writing out of concern about the high density of 23 acres per unit, and the 60 foot height, being requested by the developer of the Haven Apartments next to the Italian American Club. While I am comfortable with an apartment building going on this site, I believe the precedent that will be set for 4 nearby properties which will likely consist of apartments will dramatically increase an already congested area. It will also be way out of character from the surrounding neighborhood. I would appreciate your voting to limit the maximum number of units at this site to 14 per per acre and a height of no greater than 42 feet. Thank you for your consideration.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear commissioner, I am very strongly opposed to the Haven Apartment proposal. The residents of Emerald Lakes are already profoundly effected by the density of Sienna Lakes and even the height, I reside on the west side of the lake and still have the Sienna Lakes roof and lights in my view now. The Haven apartment proposal is just too much height and density for this specific area. While the county needs affordable housing, this Haven apartment complex is way out of proportion and should be voted down as it currently stands. When Sienna Lakes was built it just ruined the skyline of Walden Oaks and now lake front owners have a view of this looming 4 story building with white commercial lighting. It literally ruined the neighborhood. Please don’t ruin Emerald Lakes by allowing Haven Apartments to loom over a pretty and quiet neighborhood. Many of us sacrificed square footage to be able to buy on this huge lake. It would be unfair to the tax paying owners here to gave their views away for an oversized complex with too much height and density. With the new residential construction on Orange Blossom, the road and intersection at airport rd is already stressed. I emplore you to vote down haven apartments as it stands. The height and density and impact on Orange Blossom and that part of Airport rd will be devastatingly negative to several residential neighborhoods nearby. I love my quiet lakefront home and the darkness as owners go dark on the lakeside at night. A large apartment complex would take away the integrity of the neighborhood Thank you for listening. Please vote it down as it stands. Sincerely Margot Kenzie Emerald lakes Sent from my iPhone Margot@beachlife@gmail.com From:HallChris To:"Rob Dowling" Subject:RE: Haven Apts.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Chairman LoCastro and the Board of Collier County Commissioners, For almost 7 years, I have been serving as one of our locally elected School Board members. Workforce housing for our teachers and staff has been an issue the School Board has grappled with the entire time I’ve been seated. The lack of affordable places to live is one of the main reasons new teachers turn down employment opportunities here. All of that being said, I am writing to you today, not as a board member, but as a small business owner family member, mother of a gainfully employed 23-year-old marine technician, and concerned community member. I would like to express my enthusiastic support for Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven at North Naples. Once completed, I am confident that this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. I was pleased to hear that Johnson Development Associates has agreed to set aside 76 units for workforce housing. Half of those will be reserved for households making up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining half will be for those households making up to 100% of AMI. This shows that Johnson Development Associates not only understands the need for housing that is attainable for our workforce, but also is committed to doing its part to address our community’s concerns. Our school district has committed to offering technical pathway options to our students and adults who choose to pursue careers in the trades, but then these people have nowhere to live if we want their new skills to benefit the businesses in Collier County. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Sirs, As a resident of Heron Pointe on Orange Blossom Drive, I urge you to deny the current proposal for The Haven at North Naples for the following reasons: 1. The requested density greatly exceeds the current Growth Management Plan. Why have a Growth Management Plan if it is not adhered to? This excessive density will create significant slow downs and heavy traffic on Orange Blossom Dr and at the Orange Blossom Dr and Airport Pulling Rd intersection, which is already a very busy intersection. Rush hour back- ups already extend several blocks along Orange Blossom Dr. The Haven is in addition to other proposals for development at the subject intersection (e.g., Lutgert Medical Center). No serious advance planning for mitigation of traffic on Airport Pulling Rd and onto Orange Blossom Drive as a crossroad between Goodlette Frank and Livingston, has been pursued. Orange Blossom Drive is a beautiful corridor that is fully developed into residential neighborhoods. The proposed plans at the intersection of Orange Blossom Dr and Airport Pulling will turn Orange Blossom into a busy, business thoroughfare, destroying its unique residential beauty. 2. The proposal requests a building height nearly 50% higher than the highest building in the area. Adding this much taller, high-density project will destroy the character and peace of the neighborhood AND WILL GREATLY IMPACT the personal enjoyment of being a homeowner along the highly desirable Orange Blossom corridor. 3. If rezoning is approved, compatibility with neighboring communities must be considered. A maximum of 4 units per acre should be abided by. If affordable housing is a component, a maximum of 10 units per acre could be considered. The requested 23 units per acre is TOO HIGH DENSITY for this neighborhood and will permanently destroy the peaceful character of the Orange Blossom neighborhoods, library, etc. Orange Blossom Drive is a picturesque residential corridor. Drive down Orange Blossom any time of day and you will see current residents jogging, walking dogs, pushing baby strollers, riding bikes, children getting on and off school buses, teens riding their skateboards and more. For pedestrians, crossing across Orange Blossom Drive is already a challenge. Traffic and road noise is at a tipping point with one new neighborhood already being built opposite Heron Pointe. Any consideration of new development that will produce more cars on Orange Blossom Drive behooves all of you on as County Commissioners or Planning Commission members to FIRST address the preservation of the residential nature of the Orange Blossom corridor, its safety, its home values, its beauty, and the right of existing homeowners to peacefully enjoy the use of their homes and the neighborhood, including coming and going. Before any new development is approved at the subject intersection, I request: 1. At least 2 pedestrian crossings be added to Orange Blossom Drive west of Airport Pulling Rd and east of Goodlette Frank Rd (e.g., at or near Monterrey Village/Stonegate and at Mill Run/Heron Pointe entrances) with crossing signals to stop traffic for safety of all residents 2. Proper curbing and sidewalks be added where there are currently gaps (e.g., on North side of Orange Blossom between Heron Pointe and the County Services Building) for pedestrian safety 3. Adding speed bumps to keep traffic at safe speeds along Orange Blossom Drive 4. Put up signs designating Orange Blossom Drive between Airport Pulling and Goodlette Frank Rd as “local traffic only,” “no through traffic.” 5. Consider the use of roundabouts on Airport Pulling Rd., adding an intersection, and/or improve timing of traffic lights or other measures to keep traffic moving and improve safety. If approved, along with Lutgert Medical Center, hundreds of cars daily will be making U-turns after exiting onto southbound Airport Pulling Rd, exacerbating the current traffic situation. The Haven as proposed should be denied. A low-density plan and building heights that blend with the existing neighborhood could be considered.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners: We are writing to let you know that we oppose the proposed 5+ story apartment complex being considered at Airport-Pulling and Orange Blossom Roads. We reside at Bridgewater Bay and use these roads on a daily basis. The area is already much too overcrowded to be safe and there are many serious accidents here every week. Orange Blossom was supposedly "improved" when Siena Lakes was built, but all that has done is confuse people as to what lane they are to be in. They are cutting in and out of lanes and slamming on their brakes when they end up in the wrong lane. There are frequently traffic backups both on Orange Blossom and Airport-Pulling from too much traffic for the existing roads. The area should be maintained, as is, to preserve its community charm, not built up so much that it is a danger to its residents. We bought in this area of Naples because it was quieter than most other areas, but still had access to the things we need and use on a daily basis. Allowing the proposed structure to be built will cause additional overcrowding and make the area roads more unsafe. A 5+ store building does not fit the area. We strongly urge you all not to approve the proposed development in this area. Thank you for your consideration.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners, While I am in complete agreement with the email below, I’d like to express my personal feelings about the proposed Haven at North Naples Project. I live on the corner of Orange Blossom and Timberline Drive in the Heron Pointe community. I walk my dog along Orange Blossom daily. The speed and volume of traffic is already overwhelming. I have, on several occasions, contacted the Collier County Sherriff’s office to send patrols out to help slow down the traffic. Currently it is a danger to cross Orange Blossom. The only cross walks are at Goodlett and Airport roads – and believe me, crossing at either of those intersections is extremely dangerous. Not only do oppose any project bringing more traffic on this residential street (the only businesses are the Government Center and the Library), I’d like to see either speed bumps, stop signs, or a combination of both. The overwhelming majority of folks who live on or off of Orange Blossom are opposed to this project. Please hear your constituents and represent us. Email to the County Commissioners and County Planning Commission on our opposition to the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High-Density Five-Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, I am writing to you to express my enthusiastic support for Johnson Development Associates proposed project, Haven at North Naples, located on Airport-Pulling Road, just south of Orange Blossom Drive. Once completed, I am confident that this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. I was pleased to hear that Johnson Development Associates has agreed to set aside 76 units for workforce housing. Half of those will be reserved for households making up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining half will be for those households making up to 100% of AMI. This shows that Johnson Development Associates not only understands the need for housing that is attainable for our workforce, but also is committed to doing its part to address our community’s concerns. I have been in the restaurant industry in Naples for 52 years and have watched as the availability of workforce house has gone well beyond the critical phase. I have heard estimates that Collier County is easily short many thousands of work force housing units. In my newsletter that I use to communicate with our 15000 subscribers, I talk of food and wine and service and in the past 18 months I’ve spoken often about the shortage in work force housing. My goal is to make this issue a topic of conversation at the dining table. The topic is being addressed. I speak with guests each day about the problem. They each ask the same question; what can I do to help? Some I speak with will offer financial assistance through a variety of entities. Most will simply communicate and ask those in power to respond to this enormous need. I am encouraging our readers to communicate- with their families, their friends and yes with you. This project and others of a similar nature are not individually the solution to our problem. As the number of projects collectively planned and built expands, we may see a path forward. You have the ability to greatly help our community. Haven at North Naples is ideally situated along Airport-Pulling Road, near several employers, shopping centers and other destinations. A traffic study showed Haven at North Naples would have no significant impact on traffic along Airport-Pulling Road. Furthermore, Johnson Development Associates has not only committed that there will be no community access from Orange Blossom Drive, but also agreed to add a right-out exit onto Airport- Pulling Road to divert traffic south and away from Orange Blossom. Johnson Development Associates has a proven track record in Collier County, and I’m confident Haven at North Naples will build on its record of success. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Dear Commissioner: The POA Board at Bridgewater Bay represents 524 owners and over 1,000 residents in the community. One of the reasons Bridgewater Bay is so desirable is the fact that it is in a quiet area of Collier County having only to deal with the heavy traffic in the morning and afternoons. However, since Sienna Lakes was constructed and occupied, the traffic on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Road has increased immensely. In addition, the traffic pattern change on Orange Blossom was poorly done, and only a matter of time before we have a fatality. It has come to the Board’s attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. The name of the complex is “The Haven at North Naples”. While we encourage development of affordable housing in and around Collier County, this area is overburdened with traffic going east-west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Rd. daily. The proposed development could add over 700+ cars daily to our already crowded area. The proposed project would be built on 10-acre site, creating almost 34 units per acre, which is 5 x greater than the current Collier County Growth Management plan of 6 units per acre. The height, 5 stories, is out of character for our neighborhood and adding to the already dangerous intersection. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. Not to mention the added residents will burden our schools which are already overcrowded. Besides Bridgewater Bay, many communities along Orange Blossom are opposing the development and encouraging our residents to oppose the project. We feel the Planning Commission did not do their due diligence, and allowed the developer to use the Carlisle’s area to increase their Square Footage per acre. We vehemently oppose this project and any modification of the plans because this intersection is already at capacity. Not to mention, the increase in cars will impact the safety of our children with 3 High Schools within 1 mile of the site. Please do not allow this project to be considered. I am certain of other uses for the property which would allow for a smooth transition. Sincerely, The Property Owners Association Board for Bridgewater Bay, Secretary Michael O.

I understand that a property owner's rights need to be protected and the owner of that land should be able to build there in accordance with the original rights attached to that piece of land. I do not feel it is fair for the land to be rezoned to allow for higher density building. I've lived here 9 years and in just that small wedge of time I have seen so much development occur. Our roadways are already under an immense amount of stress. Traffic worsens every year and starts earlier and earlier every fall season. I bought a home along Orange Blossom because of the unique nature of that stretch of road. It is residential and peaceful. The amount of traffic has increased on Orange Blossom with every project being built along Vanderbilt Beach Rd & Pine Ridge Rd, E of Logan. Please consider keeping the current zoning for this project to what that land was originally intended to handle.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Board of Collier County Commissioners, I am writing to you to express my support for the Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven, in North Naples. I believe this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. Being in the hospitality industry, we are constantly struggling to find affordable housing for our staff. Some of my staff drive from Lehigh, Everglades, and Immokalee. While some may think businesses need to pay workers more so they can afford more, we are VERY competitive and still have an issue with staffing/housing during season. Another example, is my son who is 21 (whom has a career and makes roughly 60K a year), still can’t find anything affordable in Naples. While it is a highly desired “rich” community and some make think that if you can’t afford to live here, then move, I don’t think that is necessarily fair. We should strive to want our youth that have grown up and received an education here to STAY here. This is home to them and telling them to move to North Ft Myers or other areas that quite frankly aren’t safe, isn’t realistic. We need these young, talented youth to stay and further their careers here in Collier County and help make our community a better place. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Chairman LoCastro and the Board of Collier County Commissioners, I am writing to you to express my enthusiastic support for Johnson Development Associates’ proposed project, Haven at North Naples, located on Airport-Pulling Road, just south of Orange Blossom Drive. Once completed, I am confident that this project will add much needed housing options to address our growing need for affordable workforce housing. I was pleased to hear that Johnson Development Associates has agreed to set aside 76 units for workforce housing. Half of those will be reserved for households making up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining half will be for those households making up to 100% of AMI. This shows that Johnson Development Associates not only understands the need for housing that is attainable for our workforce, but also is committed to doing its part to address our community’s concerns. As it has for many business leaders, the lack of attainable housing has become one of the biggest roadblocks to managing my employees and recruiting talented people to work at the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. Many of my full-time team members make long commutes from Lee County, which impacts not only their quality of life, but the quality of work. For high-level positions, housing affordability issues limits my candidate pool to people already in the region, which significantly hinders the ability to find the best possible fit for each position. Haven at North Naples is ideally situated along Airport-Pulling Road, near several employers including CMON, shopping centers and other destinations. A traffic study showed Haven at North Naples would have no significant impact on traffic along Airport- Pulling Road. Furthermore, Johnson Development Associates has not only committed that there will be no community access from Orange Blossom Drive, but also agreed to add a right-out exit onto Airport-Pulling Road to divert traffic south and away from Orange Blossom. Johnson Development Associates has a proven track record in Collier County, and I’m confident Haven at North Naples will build on its record of success. I strongly encourage you to support Johnson Development Associates’ applications and allow this important community project to move forward.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, I am writing today to urge your support for the development of Haven at North Naples. We have recently met with the members of the Johnson Development Team and are very impressed with their thoughtful site plan and housing design. We are also pleased that they have voluntarily included 20% of their units that will designated as affordable with half of these being for members of the workforce earning less than 100% of AMI and half for those earning less than 80% of AMI. Habitat celebrates this commitment which goes beyond what many developers are providing in agreements to offer units to essential services personnel or those members of the workforce making less than 120% of AMI. Very few join us in serving the hard-working low-wage earners whose paychecks are less than 80% of the AMI and so we enthusiastically support this project. The location is ideal for members of our workforce and will result in alleviation of traffic for those working in the central and north part of the county. Please review this application with care and sort out the noise from the folks who hope that nothing will be built near them. Thank you for continued leadership as we seek to build a vibrant and economically strong future together! Blessings, Rev. Lisa B.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Collier County Commissioner, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning at the vacant property south of the Italian American Club on Orange Blossom Drive to build a high density, 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment complex. The proposed apartment complex is named “The Haven at North Naples.” If approved, it will create 34 units per acre while the current regulations only allow 6 units per acre. This proposed high density apartment complex is not consistent in height with nearby structures like the house I own in Emerald Lakes. It will cause heavy traffic and safety problems on Airport Road and Orange Blossom Drive right next to my neighborhood entrance. The property values of existing communities are likely to go down in the area if multi-family apartments are built. I urge you to disapprove the proposed rezoning and I know my opinions are shared by many who have not managed to write email. Thank you for your continued service and support of our communities.

I saw on the news that quite a large low income housing project on Orange Blossom and Airport Road was coming up for your approval. I would like to let you know that I appose it. I live in Lakeside next to the Greek Church and we just approved hiring a security company to patrol our development at night because of the vandalism that has been happening in our community. Not only would a low income housing project decrease the value of our homes but also the crime associated with it would increase immensely. I understand that low income housing is needed in Collier but surely you can find a place near other developments that that are not as nice as the ones near the suggested site. I hope you can another solution for this problem rather then build it right in my backyard.

I just ran into another Monterey resident, Michael Longo, at his floral shop and he said he knows you well from the church. The Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Alliance leadership team you met with lastyear would like to schedule time to sit down with you for less than an hour to share our thoughts on the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex. It is our understanding this rezoning request will be coming to the Planning Commission in April and the Commissioners in May. We also hoped to briefly discuss the new Lutgert Medical Buildingproject being proposed next door to the site for the Haven ApartmentComplex. The neighborhood information meeting for that newcommercial project is March 1st. Many of us will be attending that aswell. Let us know if you could meet our leadership team on Monday, March 6th at 5:30 at the Monterey clubhouse. If that day doesn't work for you, please let us know a good day and time to meet. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to meet with the leaders representing the concerned residents of the 12 nearby communities that will be impacted daily by these proposed new projects.

People need to be able to afford to live where they work but I am surprised that there may be a 60 foot building going up near the Carlisle. Even Sienna Lake had to reduce their height plans to fit into the neighborhood. I share Commissioner Shea's view that it a little to dense and too tall. As a resident of LAkeside who uses Airport to get to the main shopping areas, I find that that road is already too congested much of the day.

Dear Mr. Hall: It has come to our attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high-density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. You are certainly aware that this area is already overburdened with traffic going east- west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Road daily. The proposed development would make a bad situation much worse, with over 700 vehicles crowding one of the most dangerous intersection in Collier County.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Good morning, commissioners. My name is Daniel Flinn. I am a retired veterinarian living in Walden Oaks, a community of 321 homes located directly across from the proposed North Haven Community, and the adjacent proposed Medical Center and storage facility one property north. Walden Oaks is located on Airport-Pullin Road. Our entrance/exit access is directly across from the proposed North Haven Community. Our residents, when coming from the north, must cross three lanes of traffic to enter our community using a short access lane. This has caused a backup onto Airport Road when more than 6 cars a waiting to make the turn. Likewise, our residents upon leaving our community desiring to go south, must cross three lanes of traffic to make the U-turn or proceed to Orange Blossom to make the U-turn. Again, crossing three lanes of traffic. We share these issues with the community, Windward Isles consisting of 30 homes, which is adjacent to Walden Oaks. The addition of 330 units at the proposed North Haven will add an additional 500-700 cars accessing these lanes on Airport creating a significant safety issue to residents, vendors, school buses, and guests utilizing these access points. I do not have a concern with development of a piece of property. My concern is maximizing the density on the property without regard to the daily safety issues being created by the additional resident units being added to the area. The residents of Walden Oaks are asking the Commissioners to deny the high density 60ft high apartment complex which would be 43% higher than the highest neighboring complex, the 42ft Carlisle Retirement Community. We are asking you to protect this beautiful part of Naples. Thank you Daniel Flinn, DVM Please see attached for area view Sent from my iPad From:HallChris To:Tom M.

Haven Apartment project at Airport/Orange Blossom, Naples 34109 I write to object to the proposal to develop 336 units at the above location where I have livedsince February 2016. Potentially this could add around 700 extra residents and around 500+vehicles in this area. Road Safety Airport Pulling is an extremely busy road at certain times. Access into Walden Oakscrossing over the carriageway is extremely difficult at certain times. We can wait up to 4 or5 minutes with other vehicles lining up behind, occasionally going back to Orange Blossom.The safety of older residents at The Carlisle, who often hesitantly exit that development, isextremely important and should be considered. Adding so many extra vehicles from a new,large development, presents a serious potential traffic hazard and is a recipe for a tragedy. Density The plan to squeeze so many units into one location is based on greed and not on the values of quality of life that Naples and Collier County have successfully established over theyears. The development would be crossing a line from which there is no return. It introducesan ugly precedent into the neighbourhood. Capacity Alongside the proposed development: · Are there plans to expand the roads to cope with all the extra vehicles? · Are there sufficient places at local schools? Have the education authorities beenconsulted? · Are there adequate services to cope with potentially around 700+ extra residentswho may need social and or medical care? Impact · Any needed changes to roadways and additional school places will be a cost tothe county and all its residents, not to the developers. Only a relatively smallproportion of the build is designated as affordable housing, illustrating that thisdeveloper has only profit in mind, not the good of local people. · The additional vehicles will cause even longer delays than at present, for peoplegoing to work right across the County, not just the immediate residents. This ‘rippleeffect’ could have a negative effect on businesses. · This project is already creating stress and concern amongst local people.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, As a resident of the Orange Blossom Corridor (Calusa Bay), I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed Haven Apartment Complex and am asking you to vote against it. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. This project would create even more intensity and congestion in our neighborhood, and is not consistent with the character, height, and density of the neighboring communities. Developers of the other nearby vacant plots will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. The County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). If the decision is to rezone the property, please limit it to 4-6 unites per acre. Please adhere to the Growth Management Plan and vote to oppose this project. Sincerely, Diana Martin From:Laura Quintano To:HallChris Subject:Re: Oppose the Haven development Date:Friday, May 5, 2023 4:41:50 AM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Dear Mr Hall There is a moment in time when the future is being designed… for the area at the intersection at Orange Blossom and Airport in North Naples the time is now. This area most likely will develop in the coming years. Future development can result in a better quality of life for North Naples with foresight and thoughtfulness. Including green spaces, beautifying the bus stop nearby, creating bike paths and pedestrian walkways would benefit to the community at large and would be a minimal additional cost to developers. Developers will profit from projects at the intersection of Orange Blossom and Airport; the commissioners need to stand for their constituents and help us envision a beautiful and sustainable North Naples. Please vote NO on The Haven Project. Have a wonderful day. Laura Quintano. Resident of Calusa Bay Sent from my iPad Have a wonderful day.

I am a resident of Calusa Bay on Orange Blossom and ask you to NOT approve the Haven Project at Airport and Orange Blossom. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. Please help us save our community which is a residential area. Orange blossom is used daily by pedestrians and bikers and is one of the beautiful fairways in Naples. Traffic is already congested on Airport due to the county business center, library, numerous apartments, and Costco and other businesses. It is a dangerous road to navigate for your constituents. The addition of a high density residential property will continue to exacerbate the problem. The project should be rejected. Have a wonderful day.

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. To: County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners From: Grant Werner, neighbor in Walden Shores who opposes the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project. I am writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of me and fellow residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Pulling Road corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion: I believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami?

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear County Commissioners, As a property owner since the 90's at Emerald Lakes Complex, I am opposed to the building of the 5 story apartment complex containing 336 rental unit apartments. There are many reasons why this is not an acceptable building for the location. There is currently a new area on Orange Blossom, of single homes, being built which will impact the traffic flow in this area. This section of north Naples is not conducive to such an apartment building. Airport Pulling is a very heavily used thoroughfare and the additional traffic will make the congestion unbearable, especially at the busy rush hour times. Please comply with the current Collier County growth management plan. The freedoms which Florida offers compared to other states is very attractive and many want to relocate to Florida. Please do not spoil our state for the current residents. There are other parcels of land on which to build that will not have the negative impact as this will to our local area. As county commissioners, you have a responsibility to preserve the integrity of the land and its surroundings. Please do not allow our city to begin the slippery slope, and resemble those cities whose citizens are leaving. Thank you.

Brian & Melinda Follett 7619 San Sebastian Way Naples, FL 34109 (Villages of Monterey) 651-792-6461 Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High-Density Five- Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to follow the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5- story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Gentlemen, Reaching out as a resident at Bridgewater Bay and in anticipation of tomorrow’s County Planning Commission Meeting, to confirm my firm opposition to « The Haven Apartment » project, on reasonable grounds recognised, in my understanding, by the vast majority of local residents. Pertinent data (compliments of Dave Renner, Orange Blossom Alliance Leadership Team) pasted below. Best regards, Marco Andreacchio 3053 Driftwood Way, unit 3904 Naples, FL, 34109 Here is a summary of the most recent information we have on the developer's proposal for The Haven Apartment project. o The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 120% higher density than what they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. o The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. o The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. o The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. o The residents of the 12 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. o We have already collected 1,810 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. o Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. This is primarily a family residential area. o The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. o The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small percentage of units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. The Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. o There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments. o The residents of the Orange Blossom Corridor support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. o The Planning Commission and County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighbourhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex, as I fully support the Orange Blossom Alliance Opposition. I strongly believe that the rezoning will have negative impacts on the community and its residents. Firstly, a 5-story building is not appropriate for the area. The proposed high density will create traffic and safety problems on an already busy street. The additional traffic and congestion will not only cause inconvenience for residents but also create potential hazards for pedestrians and drivers. Secondly, the claim that the rezoning will add affordable housing is not convincing. The lack of proper monitoring of the affordable housing units means that families in need will not benefit the most. The proposed high density will only serve to further exacerbate the existing affordable housing crisis in the area. In conclusion, I urge you to reject the proposed rezoning for the Haven Apartment Complex. The potential negative impacts on the community and its residents far outweigh any potential benefits that may be gained. Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns.

Dear Commissioners: Although residents understand that the county needs more affordable housing, we are asking for a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing consistent with the height, density and character of the neighboring communities. My husband and I live directly across the street in Walden Oaks so we will be affected by your decision on a daily basis. This is our retirement choice as of two years ago, when we moved here, and that was based upon the current population. We are here full time. This really matters. The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 60% higher density than the highest density existing neighboring complex, the Bear Creek Apartments just to the south of the proposed Haven project. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is 40% higher density than the maximum they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan, even with an affordable housing component. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools already at capacity and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. (this section of Airport Rd has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county). There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. On April 4th the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend the project to the County Commissioners. This is JUST a recommendation. The Commissioners make the final decision on Tuesday, May 23rd. Two planning commission members, Paul Shea and Chuck Schumacher, voted with the residents and OPPOSED the Haven apartments. In his opposition, planning commission member Paul Shea said he thought the project was too high and too dense for the neighborhood while providing only 76 affordable units out of the total of 336 units. We need two of the County Commissioners to share this sentiment. The only reason the developer can get approval for density above 4 units per acre is to include an affordable unit component. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Commissioners to DENY the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. The residents of the 14 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. We have already collected 2,906 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county (like the Pine Ridge/Airport Rd corridor). This is primarily a family residential area. If this Haven complex gets approved, it will lead to changing the character, building height and density of this Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor forever. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout much of the day, the 3rd highest accident rate in Collier County and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small number of just 76 (20%) units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. Developers of similar projects have filled the apartment complex and then sold it within several years. The developer for the similar Pearl Founders Square Apartments at Immokalee and Collier Blvd. recently sold the complex for $125,000,000 just a couple years after approval. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The County has not been enforcing these affordable units effectively. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments and they do have some availability. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor support more affordable housing units in our area, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods, which have 2-3 story buildings and much lower density. CONCLUSION: The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor are asking the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. o This is 60% higher density than the highest density existing neighboring complex, the Bear Creek Apartments just to the south of the proposed Haven project. o This is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building, the 42 ft high Carlisle Assisted Living Facility. o This is 40% higher density than the maximum they are eligible for based on the Current County Growth Management Plan, even with an affordable housing component. o This is NOT consistent or compatible with the character, height and density of the neighboring communities. o The developer originally proposed two 75 ft 5-story buildings with 336 units. They have reduced the size to two 4-story 60 ft buildings BUT are still proposing the same high density of 336 units (23 units per acre). o The proposed site is just south of the Italian American Center and the entrance would be just south of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Intersection. The Haven project would be a TIPPING POINT project, setting a precedent that will change this lower density residential area forever into an overbuilt, congested area with overcrowded schools already at capacity and major safety concerns for pedestrians and traffic accidents. (this section of Airport Rd has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county). There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. On April 4th the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend the project to the County Commissioners. This is JUST a recommendation. The Commissioners make the final decision on Tuesday, May 23rd. Two planning commission members, Paul Shea and Chuck Schumacher, voted with the residents and OPPOSED the Haven apartments. In his opposition, planning commission member Paul Shea said he thought the project was too high and too dense for the neighborhood while providing only 76 affordable units out of the total of 336 units. We need two of the County Commissioners to share this sentiment. The only reason the developer can get approval for density above 4 units per acre is to include an affordable unit component. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Commissioners to DENY the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. The residents of the 14 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. We have already collected 2,906 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county (like the Pine Ridge/Airport Rd corridor). This is primarily a family residential area. If this Haven complex gets approved, it will lead to changing the character, building height and density of this Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor forever. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout much of the day, the 3rd highest accident rate in Collier County and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small number of just 76 (20%) units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. Developers of similar projects have filled the apartment complex and then sold it within several years. The developer for the similar Pearl Founders Square Apartments at Immokalee and Collier Blvd. recently sold the complex for $125,000,000 just a couple years after approval. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The County has not been enforcing these affordable units effectively. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments and they do have some availability. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor support more affordable housing units in our area, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods, which have 2-3 story buildings and much lower density. CONCLUSION: The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor are asking the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

The project will not improve the quality of North Naples for residents or visitors. Why? - the density calculations are skewed by using area not “part”of the project - the existing number of cars making U turns on Airport to access multi-unit dwellings on both sides of the road already create hazardous driving conditions - Orange blossom roadway is used as a walking path and bikeway which will be negatively impacted by additional traffic - the affordable units are not designated specifically therefore not ensuring units for families that require more than one bedroom or a studio The project will negatively impact the community. The project does not adequately address affordable housing units for families. Please VOTE NO.

I would like to begin this email by saying "thank you" to each of you for serving the citizens of our beautiful county and the community we all call home. Regarding the rezoning for the proposed 5 story, 336 unit apartment complex,I have great concerns and am in opposition to the unit per acre proposal for this project. Our North Naples schools are already at their capacity (based on the collierschools.com 2022- 2023 school capacity page) Congestion on Airport Rd heading in both directions (north and south) is currently an issue and challenging to travel with the higher density due to Sienna Lakes, and there are currently 2 additional developments under construction on Orange Blossom and Yarberry that will affect traffic on both Orange Blossom and Airport Rd as well The 5 story (70 ft high) proposed complex will be the tallest building in this area and will have a negative effect on the "aesthetics" of this beautiful Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor. The proposal to rezone to 33.6 units per acre is ludicrous and is an astronomical increase from the Comprehensive Growth Plan...Please adhere to the current GMP if the decision to rezone the property is made which limits the density to-4-6 units per acre. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns, and to consider the impact this will have on our beautiful community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High- Density Five-Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples I am writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to follow the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15- acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community and I look forward to your reply.

Weappreciate your commitment to oppose the high density 55 ft high 336-unit Haven apartment complex, to be built on 15 acres, with a densityover 23 units per acre. We understand that two votes are required todeny the Haven project and we plan to schedule a meeting with Commissioner Kowal and the other Commissioners. We also appreciate your agreement that the developer, with a zoning change approved by the Commissioners, is ‘eligible’ for a maximum of 10units per acre per the GMP and the importance of assuring that the PUDincludes the specificity of Land development Code 2.06. so that affordablehousing is definitively provided. As you know, the 12 residential communities in this Orange Blossom corridor represent over 3,000 households and we already have 1,774 signatures on our petition opposing this project. The residents appreciate your efforts and support the need for moreaffordable housing throughout Collier County, but the residents believethis can be achieved while ALSO keeping new projects compatible andconsistent with the existing character, height (current maximum is 42 ft)and density of the neighboring communities. We look forward to continuing this discussion and appreciate you standing with the Orange Blossom Alliance for a balanced approach to density as Collier County continues to grow and provide affordable housing for our community.

I understand that a proposal by an out-of-state developer to build a high density 5 story rental complex on Orange Blossom drive is being considered. I want to voice my vehement opposition to this proposal. Collier County established a Growth Management Plan that allows for 6 units per acre. Deviating from this plan and allowing 34 units per acre is a gross violation of that plan. Naples has been a desirable location for many years. However, increased traffic and congested roadways are causing many to question the desirability of this city. This proposal will add over 700 vehicles to the North Naples area. This is not a good plan for Naples. Please help keep Naples a wonderful place to live and work. Please deny this proposal.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioners- My husband & I live in the Monterey Villages community on Orange Blossom. We feel strongly that the proposed development of high density apartments at the intersection of Airport-Pulling and Orange Blossom will be detrimental to our community. This proposed project would result in traffic congestion for our neighborhood and school overcrowding. It is also a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. We understand the need for affordable housing, but we need lower density affordable housing consistent with the area. We ask that you not approve the proposed project submitted by Johnson Development Group from South Carolina and follow the existing Growth Management Plan. Thank you for helping to maintain our community.

I've lived in Villages of Monterey for 31 years. I've watched the traffic steadily increase. We are now at a point where it is difficult to exit Monterey on to Orange Blossom as it's become a cut through from Livingston and Airport Rd to Goodlette. Rush hour traffic is now untenable. We do not need anymore traffic on Orange Blossom. Listen to your constituents and deny the rezone! -- R.

Gentlemen, We am registering our opposition to the proposed Haven project in the Orange Blossom/Airport Road corridor. As residents of this area, we have seen recent development result in more congestion and safety concerns. Also, we are concerned that the current infrastructure (e.e., sewer and water) is insufficient to support additional housing. Finally, it is unclear how this rezoning and subsequent develop would benefit residents in this area.

Dear Commissioner Hall, I am reaching out to you to respectfully request that you do not approve the proposed project on the corner of Orange Blossom and Airport Road. As a Naples resident since 1983, and in Stonegate since 1991, I strongly oppose this high density project as it will negatively impact traffic flow, and School allocations. Not to mention the ambience that is uniquely Naples. I am currently retired however, I was a Collier County special education teacher, Specialist and in a leadership position for 30+ years. I know how an influx of students impacts school zoning. Has anyone considered the possibility of having to rezone the Pelican Marsh elementary school students? Osceola elementary school students? Pine ridge Middle School students ? Baron Collier High School students? Etc. It is my understanding that the schools are filled to capacity. Rezoning would be a nightmare. I am not opposed to building however, let’s keep housing low density (it can still be attainable) so we can enjoy our roadways and our blue skies.

Dear Sirs, I am deeply concerned regarding the proposed project on the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom roads. Approving that project will negatively impact that beautiful area of Naples. I would agree that we need affordable housing in Collier County however, that is not a feasible area. I have lived in Collier County for 40 years, 30 years in the same home off Orange Blossom. Traffic have significantly increased over the years. I do not see how Orange Blossom can safely handle additional cars, as the proposed project would put additional burden on the Goodlette Rd/Orange Blossom/Airport intersections. Please consider voting no for this project at the Airport/Orange Blossom location.

May 18th,2023 RE: Haven Apartments on Airport Rd / Orange Blossom Corridor Dear Commissioner Hall, Firstly, thank you for your service to our city! My name is Heidi D’Agostino. My family and I have lived at 6860 Lone Oak Blvd in Walden Oaks for the past 18 years. We love the neighborhood and the people we call neighbors. As you know, our city has been rapidly growing, requiring more affordable housing. We definitely acknowledge that we (Collier County) need affordable housing. Please correct me if I have incorrect information, but we don’t think that high rents proposed for The Haven Apartments (ranging from $2200.-$4100) is considered low income We also believe that the proposed development (The Haven Apartments) off of Orange Blossom and Airport Road is not a realistic fit for an already severely congested area. I travel Airport Road and Orange Blossom Road daily and have personally witnessed three near fatal accidents (one an airflight situation) due to overall congestion. Navigating this corridor any time from 6am-6pm can be a daunting task. For example, the turn lanes into Walden Oaks, The Hyundai dealership etc. are often clogged with drivers trying to “save time” by going the incorrect way to access s direction change or simply to U- turn to enter their place of business or residential community. The entrance lanes and the already congested corridor simply cannot handle an additional 336 units/families. The developer is proposing to rezone this area to add 336 units, two, 4-story buildings to an already saturated area of travel. We are opposed to this rezoning request as written. However, we would be willing to consider s much smaller apartment complex, less units and a smaller price tag. We thank you all for you time and consideration in this matter.

Of all the Commissioners, you are the most informed of the negative impact The Haven would impose in this heavily trafficked yet peaceful general neighborhood in North Naples. We are not so naive to think nothing commercial would ever be built at this location but really? The height and density proposed is beyond belief. I have lived on Orange Blossom for 22 years and for 22 years I have had people constantly tell me they think it is the most attractive public road in Naples. With likely 550+ car trips going in and out of these apartments daily, you can assume a large % turn south, will then u- turn to go north, then turn left/west at the Airport Orange Blossom light in order to go West to 41. This intersection already has a high accident rate and very long backups in the evening. Residents can only exit going right (south) and we were told that "somehow" they will not be able to utilize the first u-turn to go north (plastic orange cones?) therefore forcing them to proceed to the second (crossing over two lanes) quickly and meet up with the residents exiting Walden Oaks. I have images of the traffic standstills on Immokolee Road fighting for positions going to/from work every day. There are no other buildings in this area of Airport that are the height proposed. This is out of character for this immediate area and will likely "open a can of worms" that can never be reversed. Do we not have enough "luxury" apartments now who got their density prizes granted by providing some affordable housing? And the word "affordable" is a joke. In an editorial this week, it was so aptly stated that because of our county's high Area Median Income, the availability of affordable housing is absolutely not provided for our essential workers earning $35,000- $60,000. The Haven's rates prohibit those who are in the majority of need from living there. But it sounds good to the public which makes the "higher ups" look good. And the developers get their dream density to the expense of those who are seeing our safe and peaceful city being thrown to the wolves. Please reject this current proposal for its height and density. Maybe a little breathing room and negotiation could culminate in a suitable resolve.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, When it comes time to vote on the proposed development called The Haven at North Naples, I hope you will vote NO. First, the new traffic pattern on Orange Blossom due to the building of Sienna Lakes is downright scary. The lanes merge and expand and merge again, and there is now a bend in the road going towards Airport Pulling but in one direction only. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I get to the end of the road. Also, adding to the traffic issues, it is not lit up at night. Orange Blossom to Goodlette Frank is one of the loveliest streets around. However, it is also very dark at night. I can’t imagine the havoc that will be caused by adding 700 more cars to this quiet area. Also, adding 700 more cars daily will add stress to the already crowded stores in our area and add unnecessary traffic delays. Think of the young families trying to get their kids to activities after school. They are on tight schedules as is and more traffic will be a nightmare to them. Think of our older population that might not have the reaction times they once did. How will they deal with more cars cutting in and out and constantly shifting lanes. The height of the proposed development is another issue. Five plus stories are out of character for this part of Naples and will look out of place. It also goes against the Collier Count Growth Management Plan which proposes only 6 units per acre while The Haven would have 34. That is quite a difference in density. Please take a ride up and down Orange Blossom from Livingston to Goodlette Frank at different times of day and then ask yourself, can this area really sustain 700 more cars daily? Please vote with your conscience and vote NO to maintain our beautiful area and to keep it safe for all who live there. Thank you.

Collier County Commissioners & Collier County Planning Commission Dear Sirs, The Haven at North Naples Proposed Apartment Complex Orange Blossom Drive We write to express our concern about the proposed apartment complex on Orange Blossom Drive. We have already experienced a significant increase in traffic along Orange Blossom Drive since the recent developments along the road to the east of Airport Pulling Road. Traffic will also increase once the current development west of Wellington Drive is completed. We understand that the proposed development is a 5 story structure to be built on a 10 acre parcel of land which would create approximately 34 units per acre whilst the current Growth Management Plan only allows for 6 units per acre for rezoning this parcel. This planning application does appear to be in keeping with the existing structures along this part of the road.

I have been made aware of a proposed apartment complex called The Haven at North Naples. Respectfully, I must voice my strong objection to this project and am asking that you vote to stop it from progressing any further. As I'm sure you are well aware, this area of North Naples has grown rapidly and with this growth has come excessive traffic on Goodlette Frank, Orange Blossom, Airport Pulling and even my small neighborhood (Emerald Lakes) which has become a short cut for many motorists. When I purchased my home 10 years ago, the roads were quiet and rarely were there any traffic backups. Now there is always snarled traffic (throughout the year) and frequent car accidents and traffic-related injuries. As I understand it, the proposed new Haven complex would add hundreds of additional vehicles to the daily traffic congestion which would further exasperate an already critical infrastructure problem. Thank you for your attention in this matter and thank you in advance for stopping this development. Sincerely, Tom Reilly 856-287-3773 Under Florida Law, e-mail addresses are public records.

To Our County Commissioners, I moved to Naples in 1998, having been a residential realtor for 10 years in Miami and Indianapolis. I recognized the potential for growth and had mixed emotions which continue. The peace, protected environmental areas, ease of traveling the local roads has nearly been eliminated...so hundreds, if not thousands of us, are choosing to voice our opinions about the potential development of the Haven Apartments proposed beside the Italian American Club. At this time the tallest building in this area is only 3 stories high, whereby this 5 story complex would alter the look and feel of the North Airport area. Please envision the additional 400-600 cars per day needing to exit to the south on Airport and likely half of them trying to cross 3 lanes to get into one of nearby u-turns to go north. This could be a nightmare for everyone traveling daily on Airport. Have you experienced the traffic buildup at the traffic light on Orange Blossom there between 4:30-6:00 pm and work traffic in the a.m.? Do we really think the road to the Carlisle can handle the "back-up" of the Haven residents waiting in line for their turn to cross 3 lanes? At what time would it eventually be proposed to add an exit onto Orange Blossom? I am not writing as only a resident on Orange Blossom, but also as a realtor and friend to many in Naples who constantly mention they think Orange Blossom is the prettiest and most peaceful road in North Naples. We were told it could easily handle additional traffic and as I understand it, the last traffic study was done during high Covid time, and perhaps not during "season". The landscaped median, sidewalks on both sides, protected preserve, beautiful mature trees would likely need to go eventually and we would have another sterile traffic mess. The neighborhood entries would need to be shortened, leaving backups on Orange Blossom. We would all need to do even more u-turns daily since it would be impossible to turn left. This area's schools are at maximum capacity. Where would they put all the classroom trailers? I am also at a loss trying to understand what "attainable"/"affordable" housing is. It sounds good for the developer or is it dictated, and just who sets the parameters? We all agree it is necessary but how can new construction provide anything truly affordable? Just sounds good, right? Couldn't some existing rental properties be purchased? The other properties under construction, proposed, and expanding developments will add higher density in this area and the eventual traffic was not represented in the applicant's traffic study. Why is that? Is this not a major alteration to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan? This area could soon look similar to the Immokolee / Airport congestion and would directly affect the only entries/exits to the many communities along Airport. The surrounding neighborhoods' residents are asking for much lower density more consistent with the area. Hopefully news of the proposed development will raise the awareness to the thousands who must travel to/from work using this Orange Blossom and/or Airport area. They could easily add 10-15 minutes to their daily traffic time. Please take the time to consider the long term effects that this high density proposed development could have in North Naples and Naples in general.

The proposed development south of the Italian American club on Airport Road. I believe to be an ill construed project. The traffic on Airport Road prevents people from getting in an out of Neighborhoods , without serious risk of injury, due to heavy traffic conditions and the use of u-turns.. This complex Will certainly lower property values in this area. I and many others believe this will lower the quality of life in this area. I do not know what criteria is used for traffic studies, but I cannot believe that the traffic conditions which would only be worse would be acceptable to the county for this kind of complex. Additionally, I would like to say that a four-story building in this particular area would be an eyesore regardless of design. We already have a four-story monolith at the corner of Airport in Orange Blossom in the sienna lakes addition. Therefore based on all of the above as a taxpayer and local resident I am totally against this project. Thank you Gina west -- GWest Under Florida Law, e-mail addresses are public records.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr hall I am a home owner in Walden Oaks , and have been for the past 25 years. The proposed development south of the Italian American club on Airport Road. I believe to be an ill construed project. The traffic on Airport Road prevents people from getting in an out of Neighborhoods , without serious risk of injury, due to heavy traffic conditions and the use of u-turns.. This complex Will certainly lower property values in this area. I and many others believe this will lower the quality of life in this area. I do not know what criteria is used for traffic studies, but I cannot believe that the traffic conditions which would only be worse would be acceptable to the county for this kind of complex. Additionally, I would like to say that a four-story building in this particular area would be an eyesore regardless of design. We already have a four-story monolith at the corner of Airport in Orange Blossom in the sienna lakes addition. Therefore based on all of the above as a taxpayer and local resident I am totally against this project.

We do NOT need more traffic or building in this area. Siena Lakes and road issue is a perfect example of poor planning at a “crossover” road. All comments and hearings were IGNORED when residents voiced their views (developers won). We do NOT need a project of this size again. Please abide by ‘City of Naples Code’ to county.

Collier County Commissioners Please be advised that I, John D'Amelio residing at 7535 Mill Pond Circle,Naples FL 34109 am opposed to the "The Haven at North Naples" in it's present form. It is my belief that further discussion about the height of the proposed structure and the density of housing units per acre should be discussed at length. Furthermore, the amount of traffic generated by the present proposal on Orange Blossom Rd. and Airport RD. is of grave concern. It is my firm opinion that the present proposal is "totally unacceptable." Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Sincerely, John R.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, We are contacting you today regarding our continued opposition to the rezoning proposal for the Haven Apartment Complex. We understand the County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend you and your fellow County Commissioners make the final decision on May 23rd, We purchased our home in Mill Run in 2018 due to it being located in a primarily existing residential corridor. It is our understanding that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd corridor in fact, is not designated as an urban activity center by the county. We would like to expand and provide a few key points of concern. Density. The developer is requesting 336 units which translates to 22.4 units per acre. This is 60% higher than the highest density existing neighborhood, Bear Creek, just south of the proposed Haven Complex. During this process we have learned that the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor currently has the 3rd highest accident rate in the county. With approval, these density levels would only exacerbate the congestion and further burden our overcrowded schools. Character. The developer's proposed 4-Story complex remains 60 ft tall, which is 43% higher than the tallest neighboring building which is the adjacent Carlisle Assisted Living facility. Couple this with the density comments above, it appears that this would be moving closer to an urban activity center with approval of the rezoning request. Affordable housing. We recognize this is an important issue for Naples and many parts of our Country. Given the proposed monthly rental rates, this appears to be a higher end rental property with a small percentage assigned "Affordable". How will the ratio between market rate and affordable be managed and enforced with the developer? It is clear to us that balancing the concerns with the needs of a thriving community is paramount. Perhaps remaining closer to the existing 42-foot height of the Carlisle and with a density closer to the 14 units per acre of Bear Creek would be more appropriate in this corridor which I know is unique to both Naples and Collier County. Growth and progress is expected and needed. Managed and thoughtful growth should be a priority. Please join us, the 14 nearby communities and nearly 3,000 residents that have signed the petition and deny the developer's request for rezoning. We sincerely thank you for your consideration.

Hello Mr. Hall, As a resident of Bridgewater Bay (Orange Blossom), I am asking all of the County Commissioners to follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written and deny the Haven’s rezoning as part of their proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with a height at or below 42 ft or less (like the neighboring Carlisle) and with a density of 14 units per acre or less (like the neighboring Bear Creek Apartments), is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

We request the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to deny the South Carolina Johnson Development's Growth Management Plan Amendment and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development Ordinance for the following reasons: The Haven apartment complex composed of 60 ft 4-story 336 units (22.4 per acre) is 120% higher density than they are eligible for based on the current County Growth Management Plan; Almost 50% higher than the tallest building in the neighborhood (Carlisle Assisted Living); Not compatible or consistent with the character, height and density of this high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. The Amendment being sought by the developer lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The Developer is asking for high rents (from $2,200 to $4,200 per month), nowhere near an affordable range; There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the proposed Haven complex (Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments). The Orange Blossom/Airport Road corridor is not designated as an urban activity center. It is primarily a family residential area. We do support more affordable housing units with lower density that is more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre - as clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan - is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and will still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments. -- Ellen Nowacki and Dale Borsenik From:Dean Kloter To:HallChris Subject:Re: Proposed Rezoning for Haven Apartment Complex Date:Friday, May 5, 2023 12:09:54 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

I fear Naples and Collier County are on a similar path based on the Collier County Public Schools report that the majority of the schools currently do not have available capacity. You can prevent this by: Only approving development projects that are consistent with the existing area from a density, height, and aesthetics perspective. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5- story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10- acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. Upholding the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. This proposed project is 33.6 units per acre, a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan. Adhering to section 2.06 of the Collier County Land Development Code. Requiring a full 12 month traffic study. Residents believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of the entire Naples area. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment and schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested, overcrowded, and less desirable place to work and live? I urge our County officials to carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

The Haven's developer is asking for a 60 ft high, 4-story, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) apartment complex. 2. 1.

There are 4 other nearby vacant parcels at this busy intersection where developers will use any rezoning of this parcel to gain future rezoning approvals for similar or even larger projects. 1. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. 1. The residents of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor Alliance are asking the County Planning Commission & the County Commissioners to deny the Developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) Ordinance. 1. The residents of the 12 nearby communities are strongly opposed the requested rezoning for the high density 60 ft high, 336-unit (22.4 units per acre) Haven Apartment complex. 2. We have already collected 1,810 resident signatures on our petition opposing the proposed rezoning for this project. 1. Per County Zoning Director Mike Bosi, the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. This is primarily a family residential area. 1. The Airport Rd/Orange Blossom Rd corridor is already a high intensity, congested area with backed up traffic throughout the day, a high accident rate and overcrowded schools at capacity. 2. The Haven would be an expensive Luxury Apartment Complex, with a small percentage of units being offered as "more affordable" units. Developers are using the small "more affordable" component to gain approval for their high-density luxury apartment complexes. The Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) the Haven developer is seeking approval for lacks specific enforceability and penalties if the developer does not adhere to offering these units to lower income individuals qualifying for a lower rent level. The developer told the residents that the Haven units will have high rents of $4,200 for a carriage unit, $4,100 for a 3BR, $3,200 for a 2BR and $2,200 for 1 BR. 3. There are already 4 other more affordable apartment complexes within a mile of the parcel where The Haven is proposed to be built. They are Bear Creek, The Oasis, 10X Apartments and Gulfshore Apartments. 4. The residents of the Orange Blossom Corridor support more affordable housing units, but support a balanced approach with lower density affordable housing more consistent and compatible with the existing neighborhoods. 5. The Planning Commission and County Commissioners should follow the Commissioner’s Growth Management Plan as currently written. The residents of the area object to the Haven’s Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA). A much smaller apartment complex with no greater than the maximum eligible density of 10 units per acre, which is clearly stated in the Growth Management Plan, is more consistent and compatible with the character, height and density of the neighborhood and WILL still contribute to the County's and resident's desire for more affordable apartments.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners, I am a resident who lives on Orange Blossom since moving here in 2004. I chose this area, specifically this street, Orange Blossom, because of its beauty, family friendly sidewalks and the gentle feel of a small town. Should you grant this developer the permission to rezone and thus build upon the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor you will destroy the reasons that brought me here. What you will also show me, a voter, that my voice that has been active in the community for almost twenty years does not have as great a value as this one developer. That is a shame; a shame that you are willing to permit one developer's building to take precedence over the eight communities that call Orange Blossom home. There are communities along Orange Blossom with hundreds of homes that will be negatively impacted if you allow the rezoning and development of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor. Property values will decrease, because the road will have to be widened to accommodate the other issue - traffic. The aesthetics of the area will suffer. People come to Naples for its beauty, its cleanliness, its small-town feel, however, building, or should I say, overpopulating this corridor will only strip this area Naples of all the things that make it so wonderful to live in and visit. This one decision will set a precedent for other developers to come and continue to rezone and build in areas that cannot truly house that type of population density. We are at a critical point in our community as it is already seeing the effects of building out on Vanderbilt and in the Estates, increased truck traffic, pollution, and increased trash on the roads because of the trucks and their waste. The people who live here, who work here, who raise their kids here to help make community strong economically and aesthetically should have a greater voice than any developer looking only for profit.

Second, I am absolutely against this project regarding the Rental Apartment complexes proposed by this South Carolina real estate developer. When my wife and I bought in Emerald Lakes, it was with the express desire to retire to a quiet, staple and established community. Emerald Lakes fits all of our criteria. As you well know, we spent a hefty sum of money in order to purchase our dream home. We bought, not only the house, but the zip code and exceptional neighborhood. After an exhausting search that encompassed a two year period, everything about Emerald Lake exceeded our expectations. Gentleman, this proposed project is a deal breaker. It will diminish the neighborhood, increase traffic congestion, and dilute our home valuations. This is not acceptable. I am 64 years old and no longer afforded the flexibility of starting over!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I'm writing, along with many of my neighbors, to voice my overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Below are the concerns I heard from my friends and neighbors: 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. See question below and attachment above; I also have a specific question on the density and the boundaries of the project that was not addressed in the meeting or posed to the developers and the county that I believe needs to be addressed and shared with the Alliance. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. In addition to this statement, I'd also like to find out what the statute is surrounding affordable housing and what enforcement mechanisms are in place to make sure this percentage is maintained throughout the life of the project. If, as often happens, the developers instantly sell the property, how do we ensure this provision is adhered to for the life of the property? 9. My question pertains to the attachment as presented at the neighborhood information meeting. The property is a 10-acre parcel to the south of the Carlisle. Last we heard the developers were purchasing 5-acres to use as their entrance and for additional parking. What I don't understand is why the boundaries of the project include the Carlisle? When asked if they owned the property or were buying it, the developers said no they were not, Yet is seems that they are using it for their density calculations. If 10- acres, at zero density, plus 5 additional acres, and zero density, PLUS 12.78 acres at the current Carlisle density, equal X, and they are proposing an overall density of Y, how is it they are claiming a property they don't own, to achieve an OVERALL lower than 33.6 units per acre density? Much easier to sell this to the county if they aren't asking for a 10-fold increase in the density, but again, how is this achieved without some sort of ownership interest? And clearly if there is some ownership interest or connection through LLC's in the background that isn't being divulged, then the residents are being lied to and have a right to know this explicitly. 10. One last question; what is the calculated cost of a life per the county records? Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area. I ask this because as a retiree from the US Department of Transportation in Washington, I KNOW there is a calculation for the cost of a life, and I also know that some municipalities feel that it's cheaper to pay out that amount than invest long term in their infrastructure. I think residents need to know that so when I or one of my neighbors is killed through negligence, our families know the amount to ask for in a settlement from the County. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community. I'd also like a personal response, not the boiler plate form letter that doesn't address these substantive issues.

I attended the planning Commission meeting this week related to this issue and came away very disappointed. The residents are clearly against a big PUD development in this area and we tried very hard to get this across to the commissioners. I was so disappointed that the line of questions to the residents always started with asking if we were engineers or had done a study; shouldn't that be the counties responsibility, not the residents? I didn't see anywhere in the county charters I read where developers and contractors were protected, but I did see references to protecting the residents and our enjoyment of the area. Please don't turn the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom into another over developed corner that has horrific traffic day and night and no way to correct the mistakes being forced on us. No one wants this area to turn into Miami or Ft Lauderdale, but that's exactly what's happening.

Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area. I ask this because as a retiree from the US Department of Transportation in Washington, I KNOW there is a calculation for the cost of a life, and I also know that some municipalities feel that it's cheaper to pay out that amount than invest long term in their infrastructure. I think residents need to know that so when I or one of my neighbors is killed through negligence, our families know the amount to ask for in a settlement from the County. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community. I'd also like a personal response, not the boiler plate form letter that doesn't address these substantive issues.

Dear Commission and Commissioners: We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project, plus upcoming ones, will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing the 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel, creating 33.6 units per acres. This is a major department from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of the Airport and Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point, creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area.

Orange Blossom is a two-day residential road, with a 30 mph speed limit, where the residents getting in and out their community.

I attended the planning Commission meeting this week related to this issue and came away very disappointed. The residents are clearly against a big PUD development in this area and we tried very hard to get this across to the commissioners. I was so disappointed that the line of questions to the residents always started with asking if we were engineers or had done a study; shouldn't that be the counties responsibility, not the residents? I didn't see anywhere in the county charters I read where developers and contractors were protected, but I did see references to protecting the residents and our enjoyment of the area. Please don't turn the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom into another over developed corner that has horrific traffic day and night and no way to correct the mistakes being forced on us. No one wants this area to turn into Miami or Ft Lauderdale, but that's exactly what's happening.

The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. See question below and attachment above; I also have a specific question on the density and the boundaries of the project that was not addressed in the meeting or posed to the developers and the county that I believe needs to be addressed and shared with the Alliance. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. In addition to this statement, I'd also like to find out what the statute is surrounding affordable housing and what enforcement mechanisms are in place to make sure this percentage is maintained throughout the life of the project. If, as often happens, the developers instantly sell the property, how do we ensure this provision is adhered to for the life of the property? 9. My question pertains to the attachment as presented at the neighborhood information meeting. The property is a 10-acre parcel to the south of the Carlisle. Last we heard the developers were purchasing 5-acres to use as their entrance and for additional parking. What I don't understand is why the boundaries of the project include the Carlisle? When asked if they owned the property or were buying it, the developers said no they were not, Yet is seems that they are using it for their density calculations. If 10- acres, at zero density, plus 5 additional acres, and zero density, PLUS 12.78 acres at the current Carlisle density, equal X, and they are proposing an overall density of Y, how is it they are claiming a property they don't own, to achieve an OVERALL lower than 33.6 units per acre density? Much easier to sell this to the county if they aren't asking for a 10-fold increase in the density, but again, how is this achieved without some sort of ownership interest? And clearly if there is some ownership interest or connection through LLC's in the background that isn't being divulged, then the residents are being lied to and have a right to know this explicitly. 10. One last question; what is the calculated cost of a life per the county records? Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area.

I am kindly writing to you about my strong opposition to the rezoning of the vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. I believe this project will be a tipping point in density, school overcrowding, traffic accidents, biking & pedestrian fatalities, pressure on police and rescue services, hospital overcrowding, and traffic congestion and, along with other potential projects, will change this beautiful part of Naples forever. I have recently moved to the area and I cannot believe how overcrowded and dangerous the roads are in the area. My wife and I where almost struct by a vehicle several times walking across the orange blossom/airport pulling intersection. In addition there are so many vehicals that it becomes impossible to cross the intersections walking or on bike. I thank you for your consideration and I hope you do what’s right for the community.

The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami?

Hi, My wife and I are writing to you to vote completely against the attempt to rezone the area by Orange Blossom & Airport Rd for The Haven at North Naples. My wife and I live in Monterey, and along with our neighbors, are shocked that rezoning this area is even being considered. This project will not benefit our community at all. In fact, the only people that will benefit from this are the developers for their bank accounts. The developers, Johnson Development Group, are not even from here, they are from South Carolina. They know nothing about our community. They just want to build, get their profits, and get out, with no care about what damages they cause. This project would cause even more traffic and overwhelm our schools. It would also change our skyline with the only tallest building in the area right now being three stories. With other developments nearby, the traffic from all of these projects has not been represented in the applicant's traffic study. Again, no care for what damages are caused for this neighborhood. We are calling on you, our elected officials, to not allow the area to be rezoned, and to protect the zoning that was established to preserve our wonderful community. The current zoning for that property was established for a reason. Please don't let outside corporations use our community as their profitable playground.

Dear Commissioners: We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I'm writing, along with many of my neighbors, to voice my overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Below are the concerns I heard from my friends and neighbors: 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2.

The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. See question below and attachment above; I also have a specific question on the density and the boundaries of the project that was not addressed in the meeting or posed to the developers and the county that I believe needs to be addressed and shared with the Alliance. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. In addition to this statement, I'd also like to find out what the statute is surrounding affordable housing and what enforcement mechanisms are in place to make sure this percentage is maintained throughout the life of the project. If, as often happens, the developers instantly sell the property, how do we ensure this provision is adhered to for the life of the property? 9. My question pertains to the attachment as presented at the neighborhood information meeting. The property is a 10-acre parcel to the south of the Carlisle. Last we heard the developers were purchasing 5-acres to use as their entrance and for additional parking. What I don't understand is why the boundaries of the project include the Carlisle? When asked if they owned the property or were buying it, the developers said no they were not, Yet is seems that they are using it for their density calculations. If 10- acres, at zero density, plus 5 additional acres, and zero density, PLUS 12.78 acres at the current Carlisle density, equal X, and they are proposing an overall density of Y, how is it they are claiming a property they don't own, to achieve an OVERALL lower than 33.6 units per acre density? Much easier to sell this to the county if they aren't asking for a 10-fold increase in the density, but again, how is this achieved without some sort of ownership interest? And clearly if there is some ownership interest or connection through LLC's in the background that isn't being divulged, then the residents are being lied to and have a right to know this explicitly. 10. One last question; what is the calculated cost of a life per the county records? Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area. I ask this because as a retiree from the US Department of Transportation in Washington, I KNOW there is a calculation for the cost of a life, and I also know that some municipalities feel that it's cheaper to pay out that amount than invest long term in their infrastructure. I think residents need to know that so when I or one of my neighbors is killed through negligence, our families know the amount to ask for in a settlement from the County. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community. I'd also like a personal response, not the boiler plate form letter that doesn't address these substantive issues.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. While the paragraphs below were forwarded to me, they do, in fact, describe concerns that my wife and I have for this proposed development. We already experience significant inconvenience with traffic on both Airport Pulling Road and Orange Blossom. This proposed development with its 336 units would definitely impact quality of life in this area. Also, the recently constructed 3 story Sienna Lakes property already creates unsightly deviation in the area, and potential of a 5 story complex should NOT be allowed to destroy the ambiance of the area. All this so that developers can line their pockets. We are extremely OPPOSED to this development which would change the neighborhood for the worse. We have grandchildren who already suffer through the overcrowding at the Collier County schools, we oppose creating additional vercrowding of the schools.

We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, schoolovercrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is adramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-storyapartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acreparcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel….creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area.

Dear Commission and Commissioners: We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project, plus upcoming ones, will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing the 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel, creating 33.6 units per acres. This is a major department from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of the Airport and Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point, creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment and schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear County Commissioners and Planning Commission Members, I am writing to voice my overwhelming opposition to the proposed rezoning and change to the Current County Growth Management Plan for the high- density 336 unit apartment complex called The Haven at North Naples. During a meeting with the Orange Blossom Alliance, then candidate Chris Hall said “commissioners do not owe it to developers to change the existing zoning and Growth Management Plan if it does not make sense for the community.” On its own, the extreme density of the proposed Haven at North Naples project does not make sense for the community. In addition, this is the first of several projects in the area and will be a tipping point for area development. The Orange Blossom/Airport Road is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. I understand this property will ultimately be developed; however, I believe the development should be more consistent with the current density and character of the existing neighborhoods and follow the Current Growth Management Plan. When we moved to North Naples in 2015 one of the things that appealed to us most was the beauty of the Orange Blossom area and how easy it was to navigate compared to our former home in the Northeast. Whenever we tell someone we live off Orange Blossom, the universal response is “we love that area, it is so beautiful.” Contrast that with peoples’ reaction when you talk about the Immokalee Road area East and West of 75 where the universal response is what a nightmare the traffic is and how overdeveloped that area is. Please don’t be the leaders responsible for turning the Airport Road/Orange Blossom community are into another Immokalee Road-like nightmare.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, thanks so much for getting back with me on this. The changes to the project proposed were changing from 5 stories to 4, but no change in height. they also said they could not tell us the mix of 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom or 3-bedroom units that would be offered at the lower rates. It was pointed out by one of the Orange Blossom Alliance members that they were proposing changing an 11-page document by the county and replacing it with two paragraphs that would basically shift all the risk to the county and the residence of the neighborhoods for low-income rentals, traffic, etc. I'm sure this is all documented in the transcripts of the meeting. We were all in agreement that we could go for lower income housing if they reduced the number of units and the height so it would better fit in the neighborhood; their defense was that the numbers woudln't work at the lower numbers. Then a developer that lives here part time got us and basically said they could work the numbers just fine (said they pencil the numbers), they are just looking to get the highest variances they can get through to then go after the next project and use the new, higher baseline and get variances from there. If their projects get all the variance, it will spiral up and up and well lose what makes Naples quaint and enjoyable to love in. We appreciate your efforts and attention in this matter; of you have suggestions on how we should proceed as a group, we'll get the word out to everyone and keep putting pressure on the County officials.

I attended the planning Commission meeting this week related to this issue and came away very disappointed. The residents are clearly against a big PUD development in this area and we tried very hard to get this across to the commissioners. I was so disappointed that the line of questions to the residents always started with asking if we were engineers or had done a study; shouldn't that be the counties responsibility, not the residents? I didn't see anywhere in the county charters I read where developers and contractors were protected, but I did see references to protecting the residents and our enjoyment of the area. Please don't turn the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom into another over developed corner that has horrific traffic day and night and no way to correct the mistakes being forced on us. No one wants this area to turn into Miami or Ft Lauderdale, but that's exactly what's happening. ________________________________ From: Brack Boehler <brackboehler@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 12, 2022 11:24 AM To: chris.hall@colliercountyfl.gov <chris.hall@colliercountyfl.gov> Subject: Residents Against the Proposed Rezoning for the High-Density Five-Story 336 Unit Apartment Complex called The Haven at North Naples I'm writing, along with many of my neighbors, to voice my overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Below are the concerns I heard from my friends and neighbors: 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2.

The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. See question below and attachment above; I also have a specific question on the density and the boundaries of the project that was not addressed in the meeting or posed to the developers and the county that I believe needs to be addressed and shared with the Alliance. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. In addition to this statement, I'd also like to find out what the statute is surrounding affordable housing and what enforcement mechanisms are in place to make sure this percentage is maintained throughout the life of the project. If, as often happens, the developers instantly sell the property, how do we ensure this provision is adhered to for the life of the property? 9. My question pertains to the attachment as presented at the neighborhood information meeting. The property is a 10-acre parcel to the south of the Carlisle. Last we heard the developers were purchasing 5-acres to use as their entrance and for additional parking. What I don't understand is why the boundaries of the project include the Carlisle? When asked if they owned the property or were buying it, the developers said no they were not, Yet is seems that they are using it for their density calculations. If 10- acres, at zero density, plus 5 additional acres, and zero density, PLUS 12.78 acres at the current Carlisle density, equal X, and they are proposing an overall density of Y, how is it they are claiming a property they don't own, to achieve an OVERALL lower than 33.6 units per acre density? Much easier to sell this to the county if they aren't asking for a 10-fold increase in the density, but again, how is this achieved without some sort of ownership interest? And clearly if there is some ownership interest or connection through LLC's in the background that isn't being divulged, then the residents are being lied to and have a right to know this explicitly. 10. One last question; what is the calculated cost of a life per the county records? Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area. I ask this because as a retiree from the US Department of Transportation in Washington, I KNOW there is a calculation for the cost of a life, and I also know that some municipalities feel that it's cheaper to pay out that amount than invest long term in their infrastructure. I think residents need to know that so when I or one of my neighbors is killed through negligence, our families know the amount to ask for in a settlement from the County. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community. I'd also like a personal response, not the boiler plate form letter that doesn't address these substantive issues.

Chris, I am contacting you today regarding our opposition around the rezoning of this parcel for the proposed project. Our family has had a presence in North Naples for over 30 years and we purchased a home in Mill Run in 2018 with one of the deciding factors being the "Feel" that this part of town provided. It is quite obvious that this corridor is like no other in Greater North Naples. Allow us to provide our top concerns Density. 336 units on a 10-acre parcel is clearly out of range (33.6 units per acre) with any current project, existing or planned. Our schools are at capacity currently and this project will only add pressure on such a critical function of our community not to mention overall congestion. Character. The proposed 5 story building will be 70 feet in height with nothing higher than 3 stories in this corridor. Is this the type of growth that we want for this part of town? Future. We understand that progress is inevitable, and we certainly encourage it with a thoughtful process and meaningful outcome. We also believe in attainable housing for our workers. As you know there are at least 2 other single-family developments currently under construction in our corridor that we believe fall in the growth management plan of 4-6 units per acre. Of course, many families can't afford to purchase such a home, hence the need for attainable housing. There has to be a way to bring down the density and maintain the character of the area. This, of course, does not address the intersection of Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. We understand there has been interest for alternative uses at the intersection and we feel that a rezoning approval for The Haven at North Naples will only make it simpler for the next project that is presented to the county that drives high density, congestion and character not consistent with current surroundings.

Good afternoon, There is currently a proposed zoning request, The Haven at North Naples, for a 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment on a 10 acre parcel on Orange Blossom Rd and Airport Pulling Rd. The complex, as proposed,is not consistent in heights with nearby structures and the density of 34 units per acre is not even close to what is allowed by the Collier County Growth Management Plan which is 6 units per acre. A complex this size could add another 700 cars on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling. It appears the entrance and exit of this building is only yards away from the entrance to my subdivision, Emerald Lakes. This concerns me greatly because I am blind and travel with my guide dog, Motley, down Orange Blossom daily. The additional traffic would have a very real impact on both me and my dog's safety. Also, our neighborhood is ungated, so we frequently have random drivers cutting through our subdivision from Airport Pulling to Orange Blossom as a way to avoid traffic and traffic lights. Imagine what Emerald Lakes residents would be dealing with if this complex is built right outside our subdivision!!! I implore you not to approve this project! Enforce current planning and zoning laws to keep everyone safe and to maintain the beauty of North Naples.

The complex, as proposed,is not consistent in heights with nearby structures and the density of 34 units per acre is not even close to what is allowed by the Collier County Growth Management Plan which is 6 units per acre. A complex this size could add another 700 cars on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling. It appears the entrance and exit of this building is only yards away from the entrance to my subdivision, Emerald Lakes. This concerns me greatly because I am blind and travel with my guide dog, Motley, down Orange Blossom daily. The additional traffic would have a very real impact on both me and my dog's safety. Also, our neighborhood is ungated, so we frequently have random drivers cutting through our subdivision from Airport Pulling to Orange Blossom as a way to avoid traffic and traffic lights. Imagine what Emerald Lakes residents would be dealing with if this complex is built right outside our subdivision!!! I implore you not to approve this project! Enforce current planning and zoning laws to keep everyone safe and to maintain the beauty of North Naples.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. To: County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners From: Kathleen Werner, neighbor in Walden Shores who opposes the Rezoning for the Proposed Haven at North Naples Project. I am writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of me and fellow residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Pulling Road corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion: I believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Sirs – We are writing to urge you to reject a rezoning proposal in front of you associated with The Haven Apartment development in the Orange Blossom / Airport Road area and to express our hope that your commission denies the developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development Ordinance that support this development. The proposed 4-story, 336-unit complex would be more than 50% denser than existing complexes in the area and would include structures that are 40% higher than any other buildings in the vicinity. In addition, the developers are asking for rezoning to allow them to exceed current allowed density by approximately 40%. In short, while we support efforts to provide more low-cost housing in Collier County (including development of this site within existing code), this development is ill-conceived, very much out of character for the area, and would greatly increase traffic and congestion in a portion of North Naples that is already challenging due to significant recent development activity. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am unable to attend the April 6, 2023 Collier County Planning Commission Meeting due to previous commitments. However, I want you to know that as a nearby resident (Walden Oaks) I am adamantly opposed to the entire HAVEN APARTMENT PROJECT. 1. It is not consistent or compatible with the surrounding community. 2. Using the current Carlisle exit for the proposed project would create a major traffic problem without installing a traffic stoplight at that exit point. I would be MUCH more amenable to constructing Section 8, or 100% low/affordable housing in that area for SINGLE-INCOME-EARNING teachers, medical workers, police and firemen who need to live closer to their workplaces.

Much false information was disseminated prior to and during the construction such as scheduling a town meeting in the middle of July to address concerns. How many residents are there in the middle of July? Next, was the assurance that traffic would not be affected. Another falsehood. This is all history but relates to what is being planned for The Haven at North Naples, next to the Italian American Club on Airport. I understand that a developer from South Carolina is planning on building a high density five story facility on 10 acres, for 34 units. I also understand that the current Collier County Growth Management Plan is fewer units per acre. This will significantly add to the already heavy traffic congestion caused by Sienna Lakes and will destroy the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Please let me know how this project even received initial approval and by whom? Was there an open hearing at the time or was this done behind closed doors? I am planning to move full time to my condo at Bridgewater Bay as Naples is a beautiful city, but out of control building causing congestion and crowded shopping conditions would certainly change my mind. I do not know the mechanics of continued construction approval but unlike the initial approval, I hope it is transparent. One of our residents wrote to Commissioner Locastro expressing similar concerns as above and his response was that the project is pending its 4th submittal. How did it get so far without any notices to neighbors within a reasonable radius. Also, there is a sign on the now vacant property that leases are being accepted and a number to call. How can this be unless the process is a done deal, at least with verbal assurances? Excuse my sarcasm but something does not smell right. I ask each of you to carefully consider your vote in this matter and, if not voting, express my concerns and others to those who vote. Congested high rises have their place in commercial but not in residential areas. I thank you in advance for considering the above. Yours truly, Thomas A.

Dear Chris, I am writing to voice my concerns about the proposed apartment complex that is subject to approval for a 5 story building. I strongly oppose and do not approve for such a high rise. My main concern is all the traffic congestion, probably more than an additional 700 cars or so and the 70 foot high rise. And the quality of life for my husband and I who bought our home for retirement. We bought our home which is directly across the street (Emerald Lakes) for retirement living and do not feel comfortable living so close to an apartment building. As a realtor I know the ramifications and problems that can take place for renters who are not home owners. Apartment buildings also effect housing values for home owners as well. Thank you so much for reading my email.

Dear Chris Hall, I am writing to you to express my strong opposition to the proposed rezoning project named The Haven at North Naples. If approved this project will not comply with the current Collier County Growth Management Plan which allows for ONLY 6 units per acre NOT 34. This proposed apartment complex is NOT consistent in height with nearby structures and could produce significant congestion with traffic due to the additional 700 vehicles in the area. Please think of the residents and the businesses that strongly oppose this project before deciding on it. Please vote NO! Thank you for your time.

Dear Chris, I am opposed to the rezoning 10 acre parcel located south of the Italian-American Club on Orange Blossom Drive. The proposed development would create traffic congestion and potentially more car accidents. The 70 foot structure would not blend into the community and it would look out of place. I believe the current Growth Management Plan is in the best interest for Collier County. Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Greetings Commissioners/Members of CC Planning Commission : We are 25 + year residents of the Emerald Lake community, bordering Orange Blossom and Airport. Through the years and development of our North Naples area the flow of traffic on Orange Blossom has obviously increased to a very heavy amount as of late. The above noted proposed project-if approved-will add a significant amount of traffic as a result of over 700 new cars using both Airport Rd and Orange Blossom Drive. Does the word " nightmare " come to mind ? It does for us as well as our fellow residents of other nearby communities off Orange Blossom. There exists a great deal of available land for future development in Collier County, East of Rt. 75 so why can't a project of this size go there ? This is NOT a case of NIMBY unless you desire to ruin one of the most beautiful roads in our County. Yes, harsh words, but a spade is a spade, is it not ? Please do not approve this project or any of its kind given the fact that two new ones are already in place, one on Orange Blossom and the other on Yarberry Lane. So when is- enough is enough- ? Three hundred and thirty three units (336) on 10 acres is high density by definition, is it not ? Your current GMP plan calls for 6 units per acre or an increase approximately 67 % WHY ? In closing, thank you in advanced for your time and attention. Toni & Walt Robinson Naples, FL 34109 C.239.776.9165 "Don't cry because it is over...smile because it happened..."

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris Hall, Collier County Commissioner Regarding the proposed apartment complex, “The Haven at North Naples”. I urge you to uphold the current Growth Management Plan of Collier County and reject the proposed plan of a 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment complex. This plan calls for a 70 foot tall structure which would look out of place in this neighborhood. There would be 34 units per acre which is almost 6 times the number of units per acre with the current Growth Management Plan. The amount of added traffic on the two lane road, Orange Blossom Drive, would create a mess. Congestion and more accidents. This would greatly change our neighborhood and I urge you to stick with the current Growth Management Plan. Thank you.

Mr. Hall, I have been an owner in your District since 2011, with multiple properties that are in the area of the development “The Haven in North Naples”. My properties are in Emerald Lakes, and Bridgewater Bay. While I agree that affordable housing is needed, with all due respect, it needs to be in collaboration with its neighbors. This project not only exceeds the current Growth Management plans for Collier County, it also does not take into consideration the current residents. We have endured heavy traffic on Orange Blossom, and Airport Pulling for too long. Sometimes it will take 10 minutes to pull out of Emerald Lakes onto Orange Blossom due to the traffic. Since the opening of Food & Thought 2, Emerald Lakes has seen in increase in traffic cutting through our development to access the restaurant, and now you have plans to add 336 unit apartment complex on the street. Where is the collaboration? Where is the stewardship? I for one don’t see how you add such a large project to the area which already suffering congestion. Please reconsider another location for the project, that is more conditionally right. Respectfully, Michael O. Andrews Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From:Thomas A.

Much false information was disseminated prior to and during the construction such as scheduling a town meeting in the middle of July to address concerns. How many residents are there in the middle of July? Next, was the assurance that traffic would not be affected. Another falsehood. This is all history but relates to what is being planned for The Haven at North Naples, next to the Italian American Club on Airport. I understand that a developer from South Carolina is planning on building a high density five story facility on 10 acres, for 34 units. I also understand that the current Collier County Growth Management Plan is fewer units per acre. This will significantly add to the already heavy traffic congestion caused by Sienna Lakes and will destroy the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Please let me know how this project even received initial approval and by whom? Was there an open hearing at the time or was this done behind closed doors? I am planning to move full time to my condo at Bridgewater Bay as Naples is a beautiful city, but out of control building causing congestion and crowded shopping conditions would certainly change my mind. I do not know the mechanics of continued construction approval but unlike the initial approval, I hope it is transparent. One of our residents wrote to Commissioner Locastro expressing similar concerns as above and his response was that the project is pending its 4th submittal. How did it get so far without any notices to neighbors within a reasonable radius. Also, there is a sign on the now vacant property that leases are being accepted and a number to call. How can this be unless the process is a done deal, at least with verbal assurances? Excuse my sarcasm but something does not smell right. I ask each of you to carefully consider your vote in this matter and, if not voting, express my concerns and others to those who vote. Congested high rises have their place in commercial but not in residential areas. I thank you in advance for considering the above. Yours truly, Thomas A.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. 12-19-22 3070 Bridgewater Bay Blvd. Naples, Fl. 34109 Dear Commissioners: The POA Board at Bridgewater Bay representing our 524 owners and over 1,000 residents in the community opposes the project “The Haven at North Naples”. One of the reasons Bridgewater Bay is so desirable is the fact that it is in a quiet area of Collier County having only to deal with the heavy traffic in the morning and afternoons. However, since Sienna Lakes was constructed and occupied, the traffic on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Road has increased immensely. In addition, the traffic pattern change on Orange Blossom was poorly done, and only a matter of time before we have a fatality. It has come to the Board’s attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. While we encourage development of affordable housing in and around Collier County, this area is overburdened with traffic going east-west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Rd. daily. The proposed development could add over 700+ cars daily to our already crowded area. The proposed project would be built on 10-acre site, creating almost 34 units per acre, which is 5 x greater than the current Collier County Growth Management plan of 6 units per acre. The height, 5 stories, is out of character for our neighborhood and adding to the already dangerous intersection. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. Not to mention the added residents will burden our schools which are already overcrowded. Besides Bridgewater Bay, many communities along Orange Blossom are opposing the development and encouraging our residents to oppose the project. We vehemently oppose this project and any modification of the plans based on the facts that this intersection is already at capacity. Not to mention, the increase in cars will impact the safety of our children with 2 High Schools within 1 mile of the site. Please do not allow this project to be considered. I am certain their other uses for the property which would allow for a smooth transition.

Dear Mr Hall I am writing you to ask you to help keep Naples the friendly, welcoming and residential community that has attracted so many people. Our growth will be wonderful if you as our Commissioner keep to the growth plan that has been established. It should be a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The South Carolina developer developer wants 22.4 units per acre and says that they are including affordable housing. That is 12 + units over the established growth plan. The plan also calls for 4 stories (60 feet) in height which is 18 feet higher than the Carlisle. Please don’t turn Naples into Miami or the East Coast. That is not why people are attracted to Naples. We have plenty of land to welcome people - just don’t take away the charm.

Dear Commissioner, The proposed structure of The Haven will be a monstrosity at an extremely busy intersection, is out of character for the neighborhood, surpasses the present zoning codes regarding height and density. I understand the developer is committing to provide some "affordable" (should be called 'more affordable')apartments. The word "affordable" is a joke in Naples. How is a community held accountable once leasing begins, and how is that % verified over the years. I've never heard of any way this can be or gets monitored over time. The Haven residents (likely 500+) will all be required to exit onto Airport and can only turn right. Half of them will likely then be required to cross over to the third lane quickly in order to make a u-turn at the second location about two blocks away. Supposedly the first u-turn location will be blocked off for them. How can that be done? Please try to envision what that will look like, especially between 7:30 and 9:30 every weekday morning. The school buses will likely be right behind attempting to make a u-turn and the two multi-family neighborhood residents will also be vying for the lane positions. Then those residents desiring to go to the hospital, Mercato, the beach or anywhere west will all back up at the stoplight at Orange Blossom which is already overburdened. Why do we even have height restrictions and let them be ignored, especially when the results would turn into an Immokolee debacle? The traffic on Orange Blossom has doubled, then likely quadrupled from 4-6:30 in just the last few years. It is two lanes with a nicely landscaped median, sidewalks on both sides. My customers & visitors always comment that it is their favorite road in North Naples, with constant bicycles, joggers, dog walkers enjoying the landscaping and shade. To cross to that road now, you basically take your life in your hands. The "word on the street" is that everything is basically rubber stamped if it will increase our population which increases our tax base, with little to no concern about the traffic, safety, ambiance (with what is left), peaceful space left for families, animals. If Airport Road gets more congested, it should be named Immokolee #2. I moved from many years ago for a reason.

Dear Commissioner Hall, Please vote no to the petition for the rezoning for the Haven on Airport Pulling Rd. Currently, there are three communities making U-turns in both directions right in front of where Haven residents would exit and enter if this property were to be rezoned as proposed by the developers. With the current number of residents who must exit on the northbound side of A-P road we already have a safety issue. as people in the southbound lane make a U turn so they can head north. With a proposed number of units to be built at the Haven, who will have to exit onto the southbound lane this will become an even greater traffic safety issue. Thank you, Rev.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: I am writing to BEG,BEG,BEG, the Collier County Commissioners to vote AGAINST the proposed rezoning for the High Intensity 5 STORY complex called the Haven at North Naples. I am asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan that is in place at this time. 336 units are planned on the 15 acres (5 acres of which contains the entrance to the Carlile Sr. Living facility and a small lake). Thus, that makes 336 units on 10 acres, which far exceeds the density required by Growth Management at the present time. All Naples residents expect expansion, North Naples is no exception, but why the need for a 5 story, 70-FOOT-HIGH building with such apartment density? Not only will the traffic be impacted, but so will the public schools, which are already high in this part of town. The residents of this area, including myself, understand the need for attainable housing, but we wish to have lower density, attainable housing consistent with the population of this area. There are currently 3 vacant commercial lots at the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom Dr.. These lots will be developed at a later date thus again adding to the intensity, density, and congestion in this area. I ask you take a moment to consider the OVER ALL the plans for this whole area. I ask you consider making these corners of our world as a whole unit. Please consider these areas more livable and enjoyable with less crowding and congestion. Thank you in advance for your time to read and consider the items mentioned. I appreciate all you do as a City Commissioner, but I ask you to listen to those that live your decisions. Money talks and I have none to offer. 336 units is totally unreasonable for this space. Please consider this request.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, I am writing to you to express my deep opposition and concern about this proposed project (and many others on the books). This part of town simply cannot handle any more traffic, emergency vehicles, room in the schools, parking at grocery stores, emergency room beds, and the list goes on. It is ok to say west of Livingston Road is "full". The traffic studies and definition of "capacity" are meaningless to me and my neighbors. We feel the overcrowding every day and, you can call it what you want, but the quality of life has been deeply diminished in the last couple of years for people in this area. It's as if we are trying to stuff half the county population in 8 square miles! Furthermore, I ask why we even have zoning if it's so routinely turned upside down. I recognize that agricultural zoning on this site no longer makes sense, but there is a balance. On the affordable housing discussion, this is no solution. First, the "density bonuses" are not enforceable, affordable, or for the greater good. I am concerned about having affordable housing in our area (and we need it), but not to the detriment of everyone else's quality of life due to overcrowding. This is a big county and there is plenty of land. I propose that the county should be buying up land and create a non-profit development department to tackle this issue. It's very unfortunate that the planning commissioners and the county commissioners (at least up until this point) have been very short sighted when it comes to growth. I do not know where you are from, but over 21 years ago, we moved here from Ohio. Akron, Ohio, like many cities of the north grew very organically and responsibly in its evolution. Cities up north have "suburbs" and people live there and commute to work, entertainment areas, the arts, etc. all the time. Currently, we have Ave Maria, Skysail (1800 homes) and the coming town of Big Cypress. These will be the suburbs of Naples--and it's ok if there is a bit of a drive! In Akron, Ohio and other cities up north, they didn't take a chunk of undeveloped land in a residential area and throw up multi-family apartment buildings in the middle of the neighborhood. Its just not done up north. Take Chicago and Charlotte where I also lived--same thing...suburb after suburb developed organically over time as the populations grew-- instead of throwing up apartment buildings in the midst of charming, quiet suburban neighborhoods. I believe we are in a crucial window of time where the county commissioners have an opportunity to be remembered for the legacy of what they leave behind. Either a better, stronger, responsibly controlled, and growing town where many people want to live. Or, the group that let Collier County slide into a concrete jungle. I hope you choose the former, along with the other commissioners, as part of your personal legacy. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I respectfully ask, since I took the time to reach out, that you reply with a personal note--not a form letter.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Hall - I am writing in opposition to the proposed development just south of the Italian American Center - The Haven at North Naples. I am asking you to oppose this development as well due to already failed infrastructure issues in that area. I am a long-time property owner at Bridgewater Bay on Orange Blossom Drive between Livingston and Airport-Pulling. Due to the development of Siena Lakes Senior Living Community, directly adjacent to our community, we are facing extreme difficulties with traffic on Orange Blossom Drive. I encourage you to park your vehicle along Orange Blossom any day between about 4:30pm and 6:00pm and watch the traffic. We are simply not able NOW to leave Bridgewater Bay onto Orange Blossom during that time because the traffic is backed up from Livingston to past Siena Lakes. The current infrastructure falls far short of what is needed, particularly on Orange Blossom and Airport. PLEASE do not support the further development of “The Haven….” and add stress to the already-stressed roads and intersections in this immediate area. Further, the height and scope (34 units per acre) of this proposed development is completely at odds with the Collier County Growth Management plan - YOUR plan - of 6 units per acre. PLEASE be wise about this and reject this proposed development - for the safety of your constituents. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. The Haven Apartment Complex is NOT Smart Growth-VOTE NO Dear Commissioners and Planning Development Members: I live in a small community of 47 homes off of Orange Blossom Drive. The houses reside on a horseshoe street with entrances and exits on both ends. It’s a community where many residents know their neighbors and stop to talk daily. Unfortunately our community was developed with very little buffering from traffic and noise levels already heightened since the pandemic. The advanced growth which we have not even seen yet from two new communities being built on and just off of Orange Blossom Drive and Yarberry Lane will add additional traffic and density to this idyllic 2-lane, tree-lined drive. Then to add an over 300-unit building (The Haven Apartment Complex) with 500 parking spots will clearly be a tipping point for density and safety on Orange Blossom, not to mention what it will do to stress local schools and other community resources. If you have your own children, you should be concerned with the fact that the communities already built off of Orange Blossom host a range of families with small children and young boys/teens who especially love to ride their bikes, and other gear up and down this pretty drive in North Naples. Otters, turtles and other animals have already been killed by drivers going well beyond the speed limit. The area has seen a nightly spike in fast food garbage thrown from cars passing by. Now consider adding at least 400 more cars who will cut through this area. That will be uncontrollable. My father was a developer. My family is not against development or developers. We are against growth just for growth-sake or $$$. That’s not SMART or SAFE. Do not give an out-of-town developer who doesn’t care about North Naples other than their commercial interests, the opportunity to ruin the tenor of the communities off of Orange Blossom Drive. Your position and responsibility is to SMART GROWTH and following the Collier County Growth Management Plan. The Haven Apartment Complex development plan with an additional load on the corner for a medical facility and storage units certainly does not illustrate—SMART GROWTH. Change is good, but not when it’s NOT SMART for the needs and interests of all tax paying residents. Please take this into consideration when you vote to alter (rezone) for these types of development projects. Stay within the present County Growth Management Plan of 4 units per acre or, 10 for affordable housing. VOTE NO for amending the plan. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, I am a resident of Mill Run and am writing you to voice my opposition to the proposed density and height of The Haven project you will be voting on tomorrow. I want to be clear, I do not have an issue with this site being developed as apartments that include an affordable housing element. What I have a problem with is high density and height of the proposed project. I also oppose rewarding the developer with additional density, and potentially millions in additional profits, by incorporating an existing building and its entrance just to make the added density appear to be less than it actually is. Airport Road is already a dangerous road. I personally witnessed a fatal accident because two drivers were trying to beat a traffic light due of the congestion in the area. There is going to be massive density coming to the Airport/Orange Blossom area based on the currently proposed projects and vacant land that will become future development projects. I understand growth is inevitable, but it seems like it needs to be better managed otherwise we are going to have another Immokalee Road situation and no one should want that. As you know, two Planning Commissioners voted against the project because they felt the density and height being requested was not consistent with the area and did not provide sufficient benefit to the county. Based on their reservations about the project, I would ideally like you to follow what the Growth Management Plan allows; however, failing that I am asking you to: 1. Reduce the density for the project to what is allowed on the property actually being developed (10 acres) (i.e. do not allow the developer to be rewarded for incorporating an existing building and 5-acre entrance into their request, 2. Reduce the height of the building to no more than three stories, and 3. Please do not contribute to turning Airport Road into another Immokalee Road.

I Strongly oppose the development of this project. I do not want this ReZoning. In my understanding that the ReZoning of property for Haven Apartments will be detrimental to the beauty of this area and lower housing standards. This will change the standards of population density FOREVER. Please listen to us as Properly Owners and DO NOT APPROVE this ReZoning for Haven Apartments. No taxpayer would ever approve this. The apartment complex will destroy this area and the tenants will not be contributing tax dollars only to offer more future lower income housing. In turn more burden on us.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioners, I am a resident who lives on Orange Blossom since moving here in 2004. I chose this area, specifically this street, Orange Blossom, because of its beauty, family friendly sidewalks and the gentle feel of a small town. Should you grant this developer the permission to rezone and thus build upon the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd. Corridor you will destroy the reasons that brought me here. What you will also show me, a voter, that my voice that has been active in the community for almost twenty years does not have as great a value as this one developer. That is a shame; a shame that you are willing to permit one developer's building to take precedence over the eight communities that call Orange Blossom home. There are communities along Orange Blossom with hundreds of homes that will be negatively impacted if you allow the rezoning and development of the Orange Blossom/Airport Rd Corridor. Property values will decrease, because the road will have to be widened to accommodate the other issue - traffic. The aesthetics of the area will suffer. People come to Naples for its beauty, its cleanliness, its small-town feel, however, building, or should I say, overpopulating this corridor will only strip this area Naples of all the things that make it so wonderful to live in and visit. This one decision will set a precedent for other developers to come and continue to rezone and build in areas that cannot truly house that type of population density. We are at a critical point in our community as it is already seeing the effects of building out on Vanderbilt and in the Estates, increased truck traffic, pollution, and increased trash on the roads because of the trucks and their waste. The people who live here, who work here, who raise their kids here to help make community strong economically and aesthetically should have a greater voice than any developer looking only for profit.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. To whom it may concern, First off, let me thank you for taking the time to read my Email. Second, I am absolutely against this project regarding the Rental Apartment complexes proposed by this South Carolina real estate developer. When my wife and I bought in Emerald Lakes, it was with the express desire to retire to a quiet, staple and established community. Emerald Lakes fits all of our criteria. As you well know, we spent a hefty sum of money in order to purchase our dream home. We bought, not only the house, but the zip code and exceptional neighborhood. After an exhausting search that encompassed a two year period, everything about Emerald Lake exceeded our expectations. Gentleman, this proposed project is a deal breaker. It will diminish the neighborhood, increase traffic congestion, and dilute our home valuations. This is not acceptable. I am 64 years old and no longer afforded the flexibility of starting over! My wife and I implore all of you not to green light this project!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I am a resident of Calusa Bay on Orange Blossom and ask you to NOT approve the Haven Project at Airport and Orange Blossom. The commissioners have no obligation to the South Carolina developer, Johnson Development, to rezone this land at all. If they do decide to rezone, it should be to a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a MAXIMUM of 16 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The developer needs a supermajority of the Collier County Commissioners (4 out of 5) to gain approval for their Growth Management Plan Amendment and Rezoning of this land. Please help us save our community which is a residential area. Orange blossom is used daily by pedestrians and bikers and is one of the beautiful fairways in Naples. Traffic is already congested on Airport due to the county business center, library, numerous apartments, and Costco and other businesses. It is a dangerous road to navigate for your constituents. The addition of a high density residential property will continue to exacerbate the problem. The project should be rejected. Have a wonderful day.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commission and Commissioners: We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project, plus upcoming ones, will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing the 5-story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel, creating 33.6 units per acres. This is a major department from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of the Airport and Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point, creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment and schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

I believe this project will be a tipping point in density, school overcrowding, traffic accidents, biking & pedestrian fatalities, pressure on police and rescue services, hospital overcrowding, and traffic congestion and, along with other potential projects, will change this beautiful part of Naples forever. I have recently moved to the area and I cannot believe how overcrowded and dangerous the roads are in the area. My wife and I where almost struct by a vehicle several times walking across the orange blossom/airport pulling intersection. In addition there are so many vehicals that it becomes impossible to cross the intersections walking or on bike. I thank you for your consideration and I hope you do what’s right for the community.

Hi, My wife and I are writing to you to vote completely against the attempt to rezone the area by Orange Blossom & Airport Rd for The Haven at North Naples. My wife and I live in Monterey, and along with our neighbors, are shocked that rezoning this area is even being considered. This project will not benefit our community at all. In fact, the only people that will benefit from this are the developers for their bank accounts. The developers, Johnson Development Group, are not even from here, they are from South Carolina. They know nothing about our community. They just want to build, get their profits, and get out, with no care about what damages they cause. This project would cause even more traffic and overwhelm our schools. It would also change our skyline with the only tallest building in the area right now being three stories. With other developments nearby, the traffic from all of these projects has not been represented in the applicant's traffic study. Again, no care for what damages are caused for this neighborhood. We are calling on you, our elected officials, to not allow the area to be rezoned, and to protect the zoning that was established to preserve our wonderful community. The current zoning for that property was established for a reason. Please don't let outside corporations use our community as their profitable playground.

If, as often happens, the developers instantly sell the property, how do we ensure this provision is adhered to for the life of the property? 9. My question pertains to the attachment as presented at the neighborhood information meeting. The property is a 10-acre parcel to the south of the Carlisle. Last we heard the developers were purchasing 5-acres to use as their entrance and for additional parking. What I don't understand is why the boundaries of the project include the Carlisle? When asked if they owned the property or were buying it, the developers said no they were not, Yet is seems that they are using it for their density calculations. If 10- acres, at zero density, plus 5 additional acres, and zero density, PLUS 12.78 acres at the current Carlisle density, equal X, and they are proposing an overall density of Y, how is it they are claiming a property they don't own, to achieve an OVERALL lower than 33.6 units per acre density? Much easier to sell this to the county if they aren't asking for a 10-fold increase in the density, but again, how is this achieved without some sort of ownership interest? And clearly if there is some ownership interest or connection through LLC's in the background that isn't being divulged, then the residents are being lied to and have a right to know this explicitly. 10. One last question; what is the calculated cost of a life per the county records? Accidents are going to increase on Airport Road, no matter the "capacity" as residents try and cross three lanes of traffic and do U turns, so I'm wondering if it's been calculated that it's cheaper to pay out a death benefit to an insurance company than make structural changes to the area and not allow the additional traffic to cause problems for all the existing residents in the area. I ask this because as a retiree from the US Department of Transportation in Washington, I KNOW there is a calculation for the cost of a life, and I also know that some municipalities feel that it's cheaper to pay out that amount than invest long term in their infrastructure. I think residents need to know that so when I or one of my neighbors is killed through negligence, our families know the amount to ask for in a settlement from the County. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community. I'd also like a personal response, not the boiler plate form letter that doesn't address these substantive issues.

We are writing to voice the overwhelming opposition of the residents of the Orange Blossom & Airport Rd. corridor to the rezoning of this vacant parcel for the proposed Haven at North Naples apartment project. The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowdingand traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change fromany other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I- 75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners toadhere to the Growth Management Plan. If the decision is to Rezone the property, limit the density to 4-6 units per acre. 3.

The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 unitsper acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects hasnot been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8.

The developer’s Neighborhood Information Meeting was attended by an overflow group of several hundred concerned residents voicing their strong opposition to this project. Here is an overview of why 99% of residents we have spoken with are against the rezoning for this project. 1. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding, and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. 2. We are asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to follow the current Growth Management Plan which allows for rezoning up to 4-6 units per acre. 3. Johnson Development Group from South Carolina is proposing this 5- story apartment complex, over 70 ft in height, with 336 units on a 10-acre parcel of land. The tallest building in the area is just three stories high. 4. The developer is presenting this project as part of a larger 15-acre parcel, but 5 of the acres will be used as a shared entrance with the existing Carlisle Senior Living Facility. 5. The entire 5-story structure will be built on the 10-acre parcel…. creating 33.6 units per acre. This is a major departure from the Comprehensive Growth Plan, is not consistent with nearby structures, and will add density and congestion to an already highly dense area of town. 6. The Collier County schools in this area are already at capacity, based on the collierschools.com 2022-2023 school capacity page. 7. There are also other nearby developments under construction or in the planning stage that will add even higher density to this area. The eventual traffic from these projects has not been represented in the applicant’s traffic study, which also did not consider peak traffic flow during the height of the season. In addition, there are 3 vacant commercial plots at the corner of Airport & Orange Blossom Rd that will be built on at some point creating even more intensity and congestion in this part of the County. 8. The residents understand the need for attainable housing, but they want lower density attainable housing consistent with the area. Conclusion We believe the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners are faced with a tipping point decision for the future of our beautiful community. Do we want to protect the lower-density quality environment & schools we all love about our community or are we going to let Collier County become a congested overcrowded concrete jungle like Miami? We can carefully and slowly choose which direction we take the county…. project by project. Thank you for listening to the concerns of the residents of our community.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear County Commissioners and Planning Commission Members, I am writing to voice my overwhelming opposition to the proposed rezoning and change to the Current County Growth Management Plan for the high- density 336 unit apartment complex called The Haven at North Naples. During a meeting with the Orange Blossom Alliance, then candidate Chris Hall said “commissioners do not owe it to developers to change the existing zoning and Growth Management Plan if it does not make sense for the community.” On its own, the extreme density of the proposed Haven at North Naples project does not make sense for the community. In addition, this is the first of several projects in the area and will be a tipping point for area development. The Orange Blossom/Airport Road is NOT designated as an urban activity center by the county. I understand this property will ultimately be developed; however, I believe the development should be more consistent with the current density and character of the existing neighborhoods and follow the Current Growth Management Plan. When we moved to North Naples in 2015 one of the things that appealed to us most was the beauty of the Orange Blossom area and how easy it was to navigate compared to our former home in the Northeast. Whenever we tell someone we live off Orange Blossom, the universal response is “we love that area, it is so beautiful.” Contrast that with peoples’ reaction when you talk about the Immokalee Road area East and West of 75 where the universal response is what a nightmare the traffic is and how overdeveloped that area is. Please don’t be the leaders responsible for turning the Airport Road/Orange Blossom community are into another Immokalee Road-like nightmare.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, I am contacting you today regarding our opposition around the rezoning of this parcel for the proposed project. Our family has had a presence in North Naples for over 30 years and we purchased a home in Mill Run in 2018 with one of the deciding factors being the "Feel" that this part of town provided. It is quite obvious that this corridor is like no other in Greater North Naples. Allow us to provide our top concerns Density. 336 units on a 10-acre parcel is clearly out of range (33.6 units per acre) with any current project, existing or planned. Our schools are at capacity currently and this project will only add pressure on such a critical function of our community not to mention overall congestion. Character. The proposed 5 story building will be 70 feet in height with nothing higher than 3 stories in this corridor. Is this the type of growth that we want for this part of town? Future. We understand that progress is inevitable, and we certainly encourage it with a thoughtful process and meaningful outcome. We also believe in attainable housing for our workers. As you know there are at least 2 other single-family developments currently under construction in our corridor that we believe fall in the growth management plan of 4-6 units per acre. Of course, many families can't afford to purchase such a home, hence the need for attainable housing. There has to be a way to bring down the density and maintain the character of the area. This, of course, does not address the intersection of Orange Blossom and Airport Rd. We understand there has been interest for alternative uses at the intersection and we feel that a rezoning approval for The Haven at North Naples will only make it simpler for the next project that is presented to the county that drives high density, congestion and character not consistent with current surroundings. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Good afternoon, There is currently a proposed zoning request, The Haven at North Naples, for a 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment on a 10 acre parcel on Orange Blossom Rd and Airport Pulling Rd. The complex, as proposed,is not consistent in heights with nearby structures and the density of 34 units per acre is not even close to what is allowed by the Collier County Growth Management Plan which is 6 units per acre. A complex this size could add another 700 cars on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling. It appears the entrance and exit of this building is only yards away from the entrance to my subdivision, Emerald Lakes. This concerns me greatly because I am blind and travel with my guide dog, Motley, down Orange Blossom daily. The additional traffic would have a very real impact on both me and my dog's safety. Also, our neighborhood is ungated, so we frequently have random drivers cutting through our subdivision from Airport Pulling to Orange Blossom as a way to avoid traffic and traffic lights. Imagine what Emerald Lakes residents would be dealing with if this complex is built right outside our subdivision!!! I implore you not to approve this project! Enforce current planning and zoning laws to keep everyone safe and to maintain the beauty of North Naples.

There is still lots of space in Collier County which would be appropriate for a high-density, 60’ high apartment complex, but Orange Blossom is not one of them! I dread the day the bulldozers come to dig up the trees, widen the street, add stop signs, stop lights, and 600 more cars to the already congested Orange Blossom Road. That is the consequence we face if that higher-density, 4-story Haven Apartment complex is allowed to be built. Please fight the Re-zoning, and keep a little green in our lives.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Sirs – We are writing to urge you to reject a rezoning proposal in front of you associated with The Haven Apartment development in the Orange Blossom / Airport Road area and to express our hope that your commission denies the developer’s Growth Management Plan Amendment and Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development Ordinance that support this development. The proposed 4-story, 336-unit complex would be more than 50% denser than existing complexes in the area and would include structures that are 40% higher than any other buildings in the vicinity. In addition, the developers are asking for rezoning to allow them to exceed current allowed density by approximately 40%. In short, while we support efforts to provide more low-cost housing in Collier County (including development of this site within existing code), this development is ill-conceived, very much out of character for the area, and would greatly increase traffic and congestion in a portion of North Naples that is already challenging due to significant recent development activity. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am unable to attend the April 6, 2023 Collier County Planning Commission Meeting due to previous commitments. However, I want you to know that as a nearby resident (Walden Oaks) I am adamantly opposed to the entire HAVEN APARTMENT PROJECT. 1. It is not consistent or compatible with the surrounding community. 2. Using the current Carlisle exit for the proposed project would create a major traffic problem without installing a traffic stoplight at that exit point. I would be MUCH more amenable to constructing Section 8, or 100% low/affordable housing in that area for SINGLE-INCOME-EARNING teachers, medical workers, police and firemen who need to live closer to their workplaces.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner, We believe that the developer is using the affordablity component to justify density that is much higher than nearby buildings. A smarter way to increase affordability is to purchase a rundown strip mall, demolish it and build a significant number of units that meet current density standards. Use of the low income credit to build many more affordable units would achieve a more desired result. Another problem is access to the roads surrounding the property which depend in this case of using an adjacent property to achieve access without discussion of what the commitment is on the part of that entity. This would result in a number of cars going right when they desire to go left creating more traffic issues. We are all for more affordable housing but not with the problems this creates. Please do it the right and best way for the community.

Dear Chris, I am writing to voice my concerns about the proposed apartment complex that is subject to approval for a 5 story building. I strongly oppose and do not approve for such a high rise. My main concern is all the traffic congestion, probably more than an additional 700 cars or so and the 70 foot high rise. And the quality of life for my husband and I who bought our home for retirement. We bought our home which is directly across the street (Emerald Lakes) for retirement living and do not feel comfortable living so close to an apartment building. As a realtor I know the ramifications and problems that can take place for renters who are not home owners. Apartment buildings also effect housing values for home owners as well.

Greetings Commissioners/Members of CC Planning Commission : We are 25 + year residents of the Emerald Lake community, bordering Orange Blossom and Airport. Through the years and development of our North Naples area the flow of traffic on Orange Blossom has obviously increased to a very heavy amount as of late. The above noted proposed project-if approved-will add a significant amount of traffic as a result of over 700 new cars using both Airport Rd and Orange Blossom Drive. Does the word " nightmare " come to mind ? It does for us as well as our fellow residents of other nearby communities off Orange Blossom. There exists a great deal of available land for future development in Collier County, East of Rt. 75 so why can't a project of this size go there ? This is NOT a case of NIMBY unless you desire to ruin one of the most beautiful roads in our County. Yes, harsh words, but a spade is a spade, is it not ? Please do not approve this project or any of its kind given the fact that two new ones are already in place, one on Orange Blossom and the other on Yarberry Lane. So when is- enough is enough- ? Three hundred and thirty three units (336) on 10 acres is high density by definition, is it not ? Your current GMP plan calls for 6 units per acre or an increase approximately 67 % WHY ? In closing, thank you in advanced for your time and attention. Toni & Walt Robinson Naples, FL 34109 C.239.776.9165 "Don't cry because it is over...smile because it happened..."

I urge you to uphold the current Growth Management Plan of Collier County and reject the proposed plan of a 5 story, 336 rental unit apartment complex. This plan calls for a 70 foot tall structure which would look out of place in this neighborhood. There would be 34 units per acre which is almost 6 times the number of units per acre with the current Growth Management Plan. The amount of added traffic on the two lane road, Orange Blossom Drive, would create a mess. Congestion and more accidents. This would greatly change our neighborhood and I urge you to stick with the current Growth Management Plan. Thank you.

Mr. Hall, I have been an owner in your District since 2011, with multiple properties that are in the area of the development “The Haven in North Naples”. My properties are in Emerald Lakes, and Bridgewater Bay. While I agree that affordable housing is needed, with all due respect, it needs to be in collaboration with its neighbors. This project not only exceeds the current Growth Management plans for Collier County, it also does not take into consideration the current residents. We have endured heavy traffic on Orange Blossom, and Airport Pulling for too long. Sometimes it will take 10 minutes to pull out of Emerald Lakes onto Orange Blossom due to the traffic. Since the opening of Food & Thought 2, Emerald Lakes has seen in increase in traffic cutting through our development to access the restaurant, and now you have plans to add 336 unit apartment complex on the street. Where is the collaboration? Where is the stewardship? I for one don’t see how you add such a large project to the area which already suffering congestion. Please reconsider another location for the project, that is more conditionally right. Respectfully, Michael O.

One of the reasons Bridgewater Bay is so desirable is the fact that it is in a quiet area of Collier County having only to deal with the heavy traffic in the morning and afternoons. However, since Sienna Lakes was constructed and occupied, the traffic on Orange Blossom and Airport Pulling Road has increased immensely. In addition, the traffic pattern change on Orange Blossom was poorly done, and only a matter of time before we have a fatality. It has come to the Board’s attention that a South Carolina Developer is seeking approval from Collier County Planning Commission to build a high density, 5+ story apartment complex just south of the Italian American Club with access onto Airport Pulling and Orange Blossom. While we encourage development of affordable housing in and around Collier County, this area is overburdened with traffic going east-west on Orange Blossom causing backups at Airport Pulling and Livingston Rd. daily. The proposed development could add over 700+ cars daily to our already crowded area. The proposed project would be built on 10-acre site, creating almost 34 units per acre, which is 5 x greater than the current Collier County Growth Management plan of 6 units per acre. The height, 5 stories, is out of character for our neighborhood and adding to the already dangerous intersection. This proposed project would represent a tipping point in density, school overcrowding and traffic congestion for this part of town and is a dramatic building size change from any other nearby development. It is our collective agreement that this project (plus upcoming ones) will make this area mirror the traffic congestion within the Immokalee and I-75 corridor. Not to mention the added residents will burden our schools which are already overcrowded. Besides Bridgewater Bay, many communities along Orange Blossom are opposing the development and encouraging our residents to oppose the project. We vehemently oppose this project and any modification of the plans based on the facts that this intersection is already at capacity. Not to mention, the increase in cars will impact the safety of our children with 2 High Schools within 1 mile of the site. Please do not allow this project to be considered. I am certain their other uses for the property which would allow for a smooth transition.

Dear Mr Hall I am writing you to ask you to help keep Naples the friendly, welcoming and residential community that has attracted so many people. Our growth will be wonderful if you as our Commissioner keep to the growth plan that has been established. It should be a maximum of just 4 units per acre or a maximum of 10 units per acre with an affordable housing component. The South Carolina developer developer wants 22.4 units per acre and says that they are including affordable housing. That is 12 + units over the established growth plan. The plan also calls for 4 stories (60 feet) in height which is 18 feet higher than the Carlisle. Please don’t turn Naples into Miami or the East Coast. That is not why people are attracted to Naples. We have plenty of land to welcome people - just don’t take away the charm.

Dear Commissioner, The proposed structure of The Haven will be a monstrosity at an extremely busy intersection, is out of character for the neighborhood, surpasses the present zoning codes regarding height and density. I understand the developer is committing to provide some "affordable" (should be called 'more affordable')apartments. The word "affordable" is a joke in Naples. How is a community held accountable once leasing begins, and how is that % verified over the years. I've never heard of any way this can be or gets monitored over time. The Haven residents (likely 500+) will all be required to exit onto Airport and can only turn right. Half of them will likely then be required to cross over to the third lane quickly in order to make a u-turn at the second location about two blocks away. Supposedly the first u-turn location will be blocked off for them. How can that be done? Please try to envision what that will look like, especially between 7:30 and 9:30 every weekday morning. The school buses will likely be right behind attempting to make a u-turn and the two multi-family neighborhood residents will also be vying for the lane positions. Then those residents desiring to go to the hospital, Mercato, the beach or anywhere west will all back up at the stoplight at Orange Blossom which is already overburdened. Why do we even have height restrictions and let them be ignored, especially when the results would turn into an Immokolee debacle? The traffic on Orange Blossom has doubled, then likely quadrupled from 4- 6:30 in just the last few years. It is two lanes with a nicely landscaped median, sidewalks on both sides. My customers & visitors always comment that it is their favorite road in North Naples, with constant bicycles, joggers, dog walkers enjoying the landscaping and shade. To cross to that road now, you basically take your life in your hands. The "word on the street" is that everything is basically rubber stamped if it will increase our population which increases our tax base, with little to no concern about the traffic, safety, ambiance (with what is left), peaceful space left for families, animals. If Airport Road gets more congested, it should be named Immokolee #2. I moved from many years ago for a reason.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: I am writing to BEG,BEG,BEG, the Collier County Commissioners to vote AGAINST the proposed rezoning for the High Intensity 5 STORY complex called the Haven at North Naples. I am asking the County Planning Commission and the County Commissioners to adhere to the Growth Management Plan that is in place at this time. 336 units are planned on the 15 acres (5 acres of which contains the entrance to the Carlile Sr. Living facility and a small lake). Thus, that makes 336 units on 10 acres, which far exceeds the density required by Growth Management at the present time. All Naples residents expect expansion, North Naples is no exception, but why the need for a 5 story, 70-FOOT-HIGH building with such apartment density? Not only will the traffic be impacted, but so will the public schools, which are already high in this part of town. The residents of this area, including myself, understand the need for attainable housing, but we wish to have lower density, attainable housing consistent with the population of this area. There are currently 3 vacant commercial lots at the corner of Airport and Orange Blossom Dr.. These lots will be developed at a later date thus again adding to the intensity, density, and congestion in this area. I ask you take a moment to consider the OVER ALL the plans for this whole area. I ask you consider making these corners of our world as a whole unit. Please consider these areas more livable and enjoyable with less crowding and congestion. Thank you in advance for your time to read and consider the items mentioned. I appreciate all you do as a City Commissioner, but I ask you to listen to those that live your decisions. Money talks and I have none to offer. 336 units is totally unreasonable for this space. Please consider this request.

Dear Commissioner Hall, Please vote no to the petition for the rezoning for the Haven on Airport Pulling Rd. Currently, there are three communities making U-turns in both directions right in front of where Haven residents would exit and enter if this property were to be rezoned as proposed by the developers. With the current number of residents who must exit on the northbound side of A- P road we already have a safety issue. as people in the southbound lane make a U turn so they can head north. With a proposed number of units to be built at the Haven, who will have to exit onto the southbound lane this will become an even greater traffic safety issue. Thank you, Rev. Bill Johnston Don J.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Chris, I am writing to you to express my deep opposition and concern about this proposed project (and many others on the books). This part of town simply cannot handle any more traffic, emergency vehicles, room in the schools, parking at grocery stores, emergency room beds, and the list goes on. It is ok to say west of Livingston Road is "full". The traffic studies and definition of "capacity" are meaningless to me and my neighbors. We feel the overcrowding every day and, you can call it what you want, but the quality of life has been deeply diminished in the last couple of years for people in this area. It's as if we are trying to stuff half the county population in 8 square miles! Furthermore, I ask why we even have zoning if it's so routinely turned upside down. I recognize that agricultural zoning on this site no longer makes sense, but there is a balance. On the affordable housing discussion, this is no solution. First, the "density bonuses" are not enforceable, affordable, or for the greater good. I am concerned about having affordable housing in our area (and we need it), but not to the detriment of everyone else's quality of life due to overcrowding. This is a big county and there is plenty of land. I propose that the county should be buying up land and create a non-profit development department to tackle this issue. It's very unfortunate that the planning commissioners and the county commissioners (at least up until this point) have been very short sighted when it comes to growth. I do not know where you are from, but over 21 years ago, we moved here from Ohio. Akron, Ohio, like many cities of the north grew very organically and responsibly in its evolution. Cities up north have "suburbs" and people live there and commute to work, entertainment areas, the arts, etc. all the time. Currently, we have Ave Maria, Skysail (1800 homes) and the coming town of Big Cypress. These will be the suburbs of Naples--and it's ok if there is a bit of a drive! In Akron, Ohio and other cities up north, they didn't take a chunk of undeveloped land in a residential area and throw up multi-family apartment buildings in the middle of the neighborhood. Its just not done up north. Take Chicago and Charlotte where I also lived-- same thing...suburb after suburb developed organically over time as the populations grew-- instead of throwing up apartment buildings in the midst of charming, quiet suburban neighborhoods. I believe we are in a crucial window of time where the county commissioners have an opportunity to be remembered for the legacy of what they leave behind. Either a better, stronger, responsibly controlled, and growing town where many people want to live. Or, the group that let Collier County slide into a concrete jungle. I hope you choose the former, along with the other commissioners, as part of your personal legacy. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I respectfully ask, since I took the time to reach out, that you reply with a personal note--not a form letter.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Commissioner Hall - I am writing in opposition to the proposed development just south of the Italian American Center - The Haven at North Naples. I am asking you to oppose this development as well due to already failed infrastructure issues in that area. I am a long-time property owner at Bridgewater Bay on Orange Blossom Drive between Livingston and Airport-Pulling. Due to the development of Siena Lakes Senior Living Community, directly adjacent to our community, we are facing extreme difficulties with traffic on Orange Blossom Drive. I encourage you to park your vehicle along Orange Blossom any day between about 4:30pm and 6:00pm and watch the traffic. We are simply not able NOW to leave Bridgewater Bay onto Orange Blossom during that time because the traffic is backed up from Livingston to past Siena Lakes. The current infrastructure falls far short of what is needed, particularly on Orange Blossom and Airport. PLEASE do not support the further development of “The Haven….” and add stress to the already-stressed roads and intersections in this immediate area. Further, the height and scope (34 units per acre) of this proposed development is completely at odds with the Collier County Growth Management plan - YOUR plan - of 6 units per acre. PLEASE be wise about this and reject this proposed development - for the safety of your constituents. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. The Haven Apartment Complex is NOT Smart Growth-VOTE NO Dear Commissioners and Planning Development Members: I live in a small community of 47 homes off of Orange Blossom Drive. The houses reside on a horseshoe street with entrances and exits on both ends. It’s a community where many residents know their neighbors and stop to talk daily. Unfortunately our community was developed with very little buffering from traffic and noise levels already heightened since the pandemic. The advanced growth which we have not even seen yet from two new communities being built on and just off of Orange Blossom Drive and Yarberry Lane will add additional traffic and density to this idyllic 2-lane, tree-lined drive. Then to add an over 300-unit building (The Haven Apartment Complex) with 500 parking spots will clearly be a tipping point for density and safety on Orange Blossom, not to mention what it will do to stress local schools and other community resources. If you have your own children, you should be concerned with the fact that the communities already built off of Orange Blossom host a range of families with small children and young boys/teens who especially love to ride their bikes, and other gear up and down this pretty drive in North Naples. Otters, turtles and other animals have already been killed by drivers going well beyond the speed limit. The area has seen a nightly spike in fast food garbage thrown from cars passing by. Now consider adding at least 400 more cars who will cut through this area. That will be uncontrollable. My father was a developer. My family is not against development or developers. We are against growth just for growth-sake or $$$. That’s not SMART or SAFE. Do not give an out- of-town developer who doesn’t care about North Naples other than their commercial interests, the opportunity to ruin the tenor of the communities off of Orange Blossom Drive. Your position and responsibility is to SMART GROWTH and following the Collier County Growth Management Plan. The Haven Apartment Complex development plan with an additional load on the corner for a medical facility and storage units certainly does not illustrate—SMART GROWTH. Change is good, but not when it’s NOT SMART for the needs and interests of all tax paying residents. Please take this into consideration when you vote to alter (rezone) for these types of development projects. Stay within the present County Growth Management Plan of 4 units per acre or, 10 for affordable housing. VOTE NO for amending the plan. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall, I am a resident of Mill Run and am writing you to voice my opposition to the proposed density and height of The Haven project you will be voting on tomorrow. I want to be clear, I do not have an issue with this site being developed as apartments that include an affordable housing element. What I have a problem with is high density and height of the proposed project. I also oppose rewarding the developer with additional density, and potentially millions in additional profits, by incorporating an existing building and its entrance just to make the added density appear to be less than it actually is. Airport Road is already a dangerous road. I personally witnessed a fatal accident because two drivers were trying to beat a traffic light due of the congestion in the area. There is going to be massive density coming to the Airport/Orange Blossom area based on the currently proposed projects and vacant land that will become future development projects. I understand growth is inevitable, but it seems like it needs to be better managed otherwise we are going to have another Immokalee Road situation and no one should want that. As you know, two Planning Commissioners voted against the project because they felt the density and height being requested was not consistent with the area and did not provide sufficient benefit to the county. Based on their reservations about the project, I would ideally like you to follow what the Growth Management Plan allows; however, failing that I am asking you to: 1. Reduce the density for the project to what is allowed on the property actually being developed (10 acres) (i.e. do not allow the developer to be rewarded for incorporating an existing building and 5-acre entrance into their request, 2. Reduce the height of the building to no more than three stories, and 3. Please do not contribute to turning Airport Road into another Immokalee Road.
