Save Our Canopy
We demand that the board of AIPCA hold off voting on the creation of any maintenance yard until ALL possibilities are presented to residents including anything in cooperation with Omni or any possibilities off-property. We refuse to allow our parks to be destroyed and replaced with a huge building, parking lot, and all that goes with a maintenance yard.
We all moved here because of the natural forest and have kept it as a sanctuary for more than 50 years. Why destroy it when there are many other sites that have already had their trees removed? When we save our parks, we save our property values and quality of life.
The AIPCA has a binding, foundational obligation to remain a "community in harmony with nature." Replacing protective maritime canopy, parks, and a bird sanctuary with industrial staging yards completely violates that promise.

I love the tree canopy- maritime forest - which made the Amelia Island Plantation a very special place to live. I would love to see that continue as it had for the past 50 years. I have loved this community since I started coming here in 1977 and hope that we can continue to take care of the wonderful natural resources that we have now and not see it destroyed. Our plants and animals depend on it.
The location proposed at Beachwood Dr presents a huge traffic and danger to pedestrians. There must be a better location for this facility. I’m sure we need improved maintenance facility location but it needs more study.
We looked for 4 years for a retirement place. When we came here I told my husband I could live here because there were trees.
The natural beauty of this community is why most of us live here. What the community association wants to do by cutting trees to build a maintenance yard is totally opposite of what I want.
I’d like the board to explain the necessity of this project. I also believe that preserving our natural areas is of paramount importance.
I do not support a new maintenance facility in either location or any facility that will require removal of any natural vegetation. Why not put it near the aicpa building our outside the gates in something already zoned for industrial use
A designated green space in a neighborhood should have some protection of the designation “green space”

I totally agree with the residents who live in the neighborhood. They did not bargain for a maintenance shed being built in their residential neighborhood. Not to mention the destruction of the maritime forest, and animal habitats.
