Stewart Toyota thinks they can trample our neighborhood for a giant parking structure and paint shop. I have been spending my nights digging through their site plans to expose exactly how much they intend to ruin our quality of life. Do not let these corporate suits act like they own Lake Park.

Too much noise and traffic at all hours. My Bay Reach condo is directly across the street. I must sleep with earplugs due to the commotion
Save our sunny and quiet paradise, and our marine habitants from a large building with large trucks, and toxic wastes. The sun will be blocked, and there will be noise, air, and water pollution . Save E. Jasmine Drive from closure as it serves Bay Reach residents and our neighbors as a main thoroughfare from and to the Federal Highway.
The 4 story garage and corporate building in a local residential area will grossly impact residents and cause traffic which the roads are not equipped to handle. On top of that, closing E Jasmin will only add to the congestion.
I live in Bay Reach on Lake Shore Drive, and utilize East Jasmine Drive for a convenient and safe access to Federal Highway when Palmetto Drive has traffic problems or obstructions, which can happen with Earl Stewart trucking activity. Lake Park must not abandon this important traffic route alternative.
Lake Park is a small historic Town. The abandonment of E Jasmine ROW, the building of a mega car warehouse and distribution center does not follow the town goals or benefit the public. In a high density residential community all access roads to Federal Hwy 1 are necessary.
The Town of Lake Park boasts of its picturesque qualities and idyllic small town feel nestled close to the ocean all of which is described in the Town's marketing video on its websites homepage. Municipalities such as Royal Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Weston, Sunrise and a host of others are home to some of the largest auto dealers in South Florida. These auto malls were erected on parcels that are within close proximity to the Turnpike, I-95, I-75, US 441 and can handle the daily and nightly commute of car carriers, auto parts deliveries, tow trucks as well as current and potential customers. Unlike portions of North, Central and South County, Federal Highway in Lake Park is one block from the intracoastal. Why would community leaders want to mar the. coastal landscape and diminish the efforts put forth in redeveloping Kelsey Park and the Lake Park Marina? You cannot deny that Earl Stewart has been an icon here however, Federal Highway is no longer the commercial corridor it once was in its hay day. With the emerging growth and population this county has witnessed, Federal Highway was literally abandoned for the development of six lane, east-west connecting roads that allowed for the move to bigger and better shopping experiences. From an urban planning perspective, our community leaders should seek alternative ways to improve the U.S. 1 corridor in Lake Park. Building a mega car dealership is not the answer. You will not see this type of development on Federal Highway in North Palm Beach, Juno Beach and Jupiter. Why would we want to be any different? Cities with a history of financial woes aren't enticing car dealers to build similar structures on their sections of Federal Highway. With so much to gain here in Lake Park why would the Town jeapordize its quality of life and destroy the laid back setting that it is trying to convey? People come to coastal or waterfront communities in Florida to enjoy the amenities they have to offer. Property

As a property owner living just across from the dealership I think this plan is crossing the line. The residents of Lake Park and the Al Stewart dealership have coexisted just fine until now but this new plan is out of control and inconsiderate to residents living near by.
