Maintain R1 Zoning

STOP the proposed change in zoning from single family homes (R1) to mixed economic development (PEDD) on a land parcel between Thoms Run and Hilltop Roads!

Why is this important?

Dear Neighbors, I feel compelled to discuss an important issue with you. At the next Collier Board of Commissioners meeting scheduled for July 8 at 7:00 P.M. at the Municipal Building there will be a discussion regarding a proposed zoning change. This change would adversely effect us all. There will also be a public hearing several weeks thereafter during which each of us has an opportunity to give testimony against this proposed zoning change. As soon as the public hearing date is set, I will communicate that to you.

The proposed zoning change would cause the following:
1. Major increase in traffic along Hilltop Road.
2. Town-homes crammed onto a narrow strip of land, with their sides facing the valley, would be an eyesore negatively affecting our property values.
3. Questions remain regarding the ability of the ground to withstand a large number of town homes perched precariously above a very steep slope.
4. There is the potential for runoffs from the sewer system onto neighboring properties.
