Paving Pat Neal wants more paving

From Northeast Sarasota County citizens:  

Northeast Sarasota target area of Paving Pat Neal

Hi Everyone,

We need you to write to the County Commissioners about what Pat Neal is planning to do. He has now asked to increase the density to 2 houses per acre and bring another 5000 homes east on Fruitville. This can not go through or we will say goodbye to the future of rural Sarasota.
Please write a simple note to the Commissioners that says:
Keep the country...country for now and future generations to live on, learn from and love the land.

PLEASE HELP! TELL COMMISSIONERS TO VOTE “NO” ON CPA 2022-B

 Below is from Becky Ayech, President of the Miakka Community Club.

“Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 20222-B is an attempt by Paving Pat Neal to change the allowable densities on 4,000 acres along and north of Fruitville Road.
Currently the existing zoning of 300 acres zoned at OUE-1 (60 homes), 2,570 acres zoned OUR (257 homes) and 1,030 acres zoned as Hamlet (400) houses totals 717 houses.
The total traffic generated under the existing zoning is** 5,722 daily trips**.
If the 4,000 acres were developed as Hamlets, the number of houses could be as little as 200 houses and as many as 1,600. If the land were developed at the highest density of 1,600 houses then that would mean 12,768 daily trips.
What Paving Pat Neal is proposing is 5,000 houses. This would be 39,900 daily trips.
Paving Pat Neal is also proposing a reduction of the 500' buffer to only 50'.
Paving Pat Neal is also proposing to limit the Open Space requirement to as little as 43%.
The 4,000 is within the boundaries as defined in the Old Miakka Neighborhood Plan. These are historic rural and agricultural lands.
And don't be fooled, while the density request for 2 units an acre as a transitional zone to 1 unit per 5 acres is the narrative. the units do not have to be developed on 1/2 acre lots. the lots can be any size. How is that compatible with 5 acre homesteads?
CPA 2022-B is urban sprawl. Calling it a Village Transitional Zone (VTZ) doesn't change the fact it is urban sprawl. It is like putting lipstick on a pig, it still is a pig.

  1. We COULD go with the height density - more people on the same footprint, thus less paving. There ARE more people. What, we should tell them to go back where they came from? Is THAT what this is really about? As long as the infrastructure is baked into the approval . . . Infrastructure is "road system, pedestrian system, transit, schools, potable water, sewerage, solid waste, drainage, law enforcement, fire & emergency, courts, jails, administrative facilities, libraries, parks, hospitals".
