NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION MEETING JULY 21st at 7pm in person at Bethel Mennonite Church or Via Zoom
Paving Pat Neal has set his bulldozer sights on rural Sarasota County. He wants to destroy over 4,000 rural acres with 5,000 dwelling units that will add 47,000 daily vehicle trips to our roadways. His comprehensive plan amendment (CPA 2022-B) will sprawl from University Parkway to Fruitville Road and from Cowpen Lane east for approximately 3.1 miles (ending east of the S-curve). This proposal is in addition to Hi Hat (already approved) and increases the density approved for Lake Park Estates (the destruction you see from Fruitville east of Cowpen Lane).
Please come at 7pm on July 21st to learn more about how we are fighting this proposed development.
JOIN US IN PERSON at Bethel Mennonite Church, 2985 Bethel Lane (on north side of Fruitville)

Also on July 21st:
Becky Ayech and the Miakka Community Club are working against Paving Pat's development by asking the Planning Commission to require the developers to hold another Neighborhood Workshop with the community. The workshop held on April 7, 2022 was totally inadequate and did not meet the County's requirements. We all need your support with emails and people showing up at the Planning Commission Meeting at 5 pm on July 21st. If you aren't on Becky's email list and didn't get her Action Alert, reach out to her at miakka1945@gmail.com and let her know you want to help.
(Then you can join our Neighborhood Action Meeting on your way back home or catch us via Zoom.)

ReplyDeleteYou will NOT stop urban sprawl. The best case scenario would be better infrastructure to support the new builds, with emphasis on greenspace and less retail/commercial within the new communities. Palmer Ranch for instance, housing, parkland, very little(should be ZERO!) commercial within the boundaries of the Ranch.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot possibly keep people from fleeing the cesspool cities of America to live in paradise. The best you can do is manage the migration.
