Longbar Pointe - Save the Last Great Place on Sarasota Bay

I understand that the owner of this property unfortunately has a right to develop it, but they should not be allowed to develop it in such a way that it threatens the environment. Will the seawall disrupt the natural water flow and kill the mangroves? If so, that's a sneaky way to get around the rules about destroying mangroves. Why would they be allowed to build a building that is four times taller than the legal limit. Do our fire departments have ladder trucks that reach that high? If not and the developer is allowed to build they should be assessed the charge for the needed firefighting equipment--not the taxpayers who oppose this ridiculous plan! What is being done to accommodate the extra traffic this will generate? Please consider the environment and the effect this development will have on our already overcrowded streets.

Please save the long bar pointe!

Sarasota is already an overgrown place with plenty of resort. Time to stop the development. Let mother nature have it. Sarasota gets enough tourism--why be greedy?

As a 14 year resident of Bradenton Beach there is nothing about this proposed development that is practical to me. It is appalling at a minimum. The developers just keep on trying to serve it up until it gets approved. If that happens, the beginning of the end of the "kitchen of Sarasota Bay" will start. When I was President of the BOD of our co-op, we had to get a permit which took 30 days and pay $500.00 fee just to trim mangroves and that was a very defined process with limitations. I see that power and control provides greedy developers with a path to completely destroy acres of mangroves. How does that make sense?

Save this place. Leave some beauty for our children

Enough!

This plan will not preserve or improve the seagrasses. Save our beautiful shoreline and bay.

This is a beautiful peacefull area that I've enjoyed and it would be a shame to change it in any way.

Please don't spoil this treasure with more development.

We cannot allow this to happen! If there are laws in place to prevent this kind of destructive planning why are they not enforced? Who is being paid off??

Please don't allow destruction of this pristine wilderness. Vote with a conscience !

Against preposed Aqua by the Bay development

This is appalling. I've lived here since 1972 and cannot believe what these developers are getting away with.SAVE OUR BAYFRONTS

Beautiful Sarasota bay with its birds and fish is the best part of Manasota. We MUST look after and defend its quality.

It's time to preserve our mangroves for future generations and preservation of species survival. Enough of Carlos Beruff's efforts to expand on top of this Florida treasure.

Over development is ruining Manatee and Sarasota county with total disregard for environmental protections, quality of life and congestion. Developers seek only profiteering as Florida legislators and commissioners ignore regulations and grant variances to deep pockets with total disregard to constituents who want to preserve quality of life and shoreline for future generations!

Please do not allow this project to happen!

Vote no on this development plan.

This is supremely important to the overall health and well-being of not only Sarasota Bay, but the community as a whole. Please consider the long-term ramifications. Thanks you. Shane Catts 617 47th Street West Bradenton, FL 34209
