From the Siesta Key Coalition, regarding the upcoming Planning Commission hearing on the Siesta Promenade at Stickney Point, proposed by Benderson Inc.:
To SK Coalition Community Supporters:
As we promised in our 27 July e-mail, this note is to give you information on how to communicate with the Planning Commission, and how to attend the hearing on the proposed 170-room, 8-story Calle Miramar/Beach hotel, on 19th August 2021.
Emailing County Leadership, Timing and Content
We are asking every one of our supporters to send an email to the Planning Commission, prior to the upcoming hearing. We are all unified in our opposition to high-density hotels, even though some of our supporters have more concerns about one or more of the four proposed hotel locations. However, we need everyone to address the first hearing for the proposed Calle Miramar/Beach hotel on 19 August. The decisions made there will set precedents for future hearings for all four of the proposed hotels.
To ensure your comments are publicly recorded by Planning Staff in their reporting package to the Planning Commissioners, you should send your e-mail to the Planning Commissioners and Planning Staff no earlier than Fri August 6th and no later than Tues Aug 10th, as it pertains to the proposed Calle Miramar/Beach hotel. The e-mail addresses are here.
As to content, we want you to review the list of Coalition Issue Statements, and to select one or two items that particularly resonate with you. We recommend that you use your own words, but you can cut and paste from the list, if you prefer.
Participation in the Planning Commission Hearing
We encourage everyone to attend the hearing which will be held in the County Administration Building at 1660 Ringling Boulevard, at 5:00 pm on Thursday 19th August 2021.
The Coalition will have only a limited time to present to the commissions, and we plan to have our Coalition leadership, and our lawyers and consultants kick off at the beginning of the presentations. We will welcome those who would also like to speak at the meeting, but we ask that you confer with a Coalition representative at the Speaker Card Desk, 30 minutes before the meeting starts.
Thank you for engaging in the process with us...encourage all your neighbors to do so as well. Please bcc (blind copy us at skcoalition@gmail.com) so we can follow the responses.
