The county officially rejected the rezoning proposal today. This win belongs to every one of you who spoke up against the development. Keep a close watch on the planning board records so we can act fast if they try this again.

Dear Pasco County:
We/I, the undersigned homeowners of Tanglewood East, The Highlands of Tanglewood, Golden Acres, River Ridge, Bass Lake, Cranes Roost and surrounding areas, REJECT the county’s proposal for the Tanglewood East Comprehensive Plan CPAL (15) to amend the land use designation on the property (corner lots on Tanglewood Dr. and Ridge Rd.) from RES-1 to RES-24 and/or PD (Planned Development) to allow for the development of up to 230 apartments and 10,000 square feet of commercial use adjacent to the apartment complex.
I/we, do not want any aspect of this project to proceed. We strenuously object to adding a sewer line (per the developer) in our area, which; later could be used to force homeowners off of their septic tanks and wells to tie into county sewer and water and making the affected homeowners pay (in the way of an Assessment) for this unnecessary infringement on our peaceful enjoyment of land ownership.
We say NO to your “Assessments” and to the extra bill (sewer/water) that will Eventually be forced upon us and that we currently do not have. Let this petition serve for our present objections and as well as any future plans to force us off of our wells and septic tanks. We bought our properties specifically for the sole purpose of the very nature; of their extant qualities.
In addition, the proposed apartment will diminish the value of our property, while increasing the safety hazards on an already highly dangerous traffic situation on Tanglewood.
You, by force, would be altering what we originally purchased, when choosing our homes. We do not tell you how to live. Now it’s time to stop forcing us to live the way you believe we should. Respect the citizens wishes please!
We are certain that this initial project of CPAL (15) is a stepping stone, among many other negative aspects that forces us onto county and sewer water. If the Pasco BOCC doesn’t agree, then perhaps a 20-year moratorium on forced conversion to county sewer and water is a reasonable 1st step to a compromise.

Building a 4 story apartment buildings in the flight path of a private airport? Not smart Pasco county. Be better then that and consider facts, stop trying to fatten your pockets for financial gain.
I bought here to have property, space, and less traffic, well, septic, and freedom to have animals. Not to have apartments, strip malls and unbelievable traffic. Do not allow someone to change zoning laws on people who choose and area b/c of those laws.
With so much construction overwhelming Pasco county, it is absurd to consider changing zoning from residential 1 to res.24 to accommodate a developer who will build, leave the county, and add additional burden to a county which is already overwhelmed by construction and numbers.
Reject the county’s proposal which forces residents to abandon their current water and septic systems and hook into the county sewer and water systems, at the owners expense. That’s just one reason to not support this development plan. Follow the money and see who’s pockets are being lined.
Trinity is becoming too congested. The schools are full and the roads are now not big enough or designed for this much. The infrastructure can not handle the growth that we currently have. Please do not rezone to add more housing and more businesses.
I am sick of the wildlife being uprooted and more development causing sink holes for residential homes. We are a country area, and that is why we moved here, to get away from all the traffic and to live peaceful with clean air. Keep our area free from all this. It also becomes a dangerous area with more crimes when you start adding low income homes and more apartments and knocking down our trees. It won't be long before we won't have any oxygen in the air if we keep killing our trees to build homes. We need a border around Florida to keep people out. Start there. Build a wall.
I was born in Florida over 60 years ago and have not seen much improvement over those years. We certainly do NOT need any more development. Our precious area still has numerous whitetail deer, gopher tortoises etc that many of use enjoy seeing on a regular basis. By continuing with all of this development you are actually devaluing our property just so the developers and investors can make a fortune ... as well as increase the tax base for the county. Simply nothing good for many of us who have worked hard all or our lives to preserve what little bit of land and wildlife that we could.

Please do not do this. Our wildlife doesn't have enough land and they're starting to come into peoples properties. Many people who live in this area are low-income families that cannot afford another bill as well. We love the country feel here and we are trying to clean up our area.
