I honestly cannot believe they finally actually pulled the trigger and agreed to take over the site for demolition because I spent so many nights just staring at those unfinished walls wondering if anyone in the county office even knew we existed. It feels surreal to drive past that eyesore …

In accordance with Pasco County Ordinance 10-49 the residents of surrounding communities of the Trinity Town Center demand that Pasco County exercise its powers of eminent domain and develop or demolish the Town Center pursuant to Chapter 79 of this code.
The property has stood derelict and vacant for eight years. It has gone in and out of foreclosure and extreme leniency has been given to the developer. The building permits have expired more than once and have been allowed to go unrenewed. The grass surrounding the Trinity Town Center is constantly in need of cutting and Codes must be notified. The outer buildings are extremely unsightly and need to be finished or demolished. The surrounding homeowners’ property values have been negatively affected by this.
The Sheriff is constantly being called to this property. Individuals are trespassing and vandalizing the area. They are using it as a drug and skateboard hangout, which poses as an attractive public nuisance. There are documented instances of violent acts, such as throwing masonry from the top of the parking garage at people below. The buildings themselves pose a public safety issue due to their unstable and unfinished nature.
The owner and his local agent have failed to regularly inspect the property. Because of this, the local homeowner associations have had to pay off-duty deputies to patrol the area that includes the Trinity Town Center to protect the residents from the individuals who are attracted to the vacant buildings.
Because the Trinity Town Center has sat vacant for eight years, Causing the buildings to deteriorate and has become an attractive public nuisance, the residents of the Trinity area demand that Pasco County Pasco County exercise its powers of eminent domain and develop or demolish the Town Center pursuant to Chapter 79 of this code.

I was just looking at the count and we are almost at the quarter thousand mark which feels like a real turning point for us because honestly I am tired of seeing that eyesore every time I drive past. If you have been meaning to send the link to someone please do it now because I really want to shove these numbers in front of the county commissioners while they are still paying attention.

I was just looking at the count and we are almost at a hundred which is honestly wild because I remember when it was just me and my neighbor talking in the driveway about how gross that concrete eyesore is. If each of you could just send the link to a few people in the area who are also sick of the vandalism and the mess we could hit the mark by morning and finally force somebody in the county office to look at this thing.

This development is an eyesore, bringing down our property values and is a haven for potential criminal activities. The developer obviously has no regard for the neighborhood and now his greed has caught up to him.
Tear it down, make a"Gateway to Trinity" park. 10 years ago we looked forward to having a great outdoor mall in the neighborhood. Now, not so much. I volunteer to bring a sledge hammer and help!
This site is visible from my backyard in Bellerive. I remember how exciting it was so many years ago when we thought we had upscale shops, restaurants and outdoor cafes coming to our neighborhood within walking distance. What a disappointment!
I am the chairman of the board of Generations Christian Church, 1540 Little Rd., which is directly across the street from the property in question. We welcome any action by the county which would improve the appearance and safety of the neighborhood.
Yes get this done. I have noticed many transient aka homeless people in the area. We need to protect our children especially with 3 elementary schools a Middle and Highschool within 2 miles of this property. Hold the owners accountable just as we homeowners are being held accountable to keep our residences in order.
Please do something to get rid of this eyesore. It is disgusting to have it just sit there crumbling. Make it into a high school we surely need that!!
Enough already

This project is in litigation including foreclosure by the lender which was also a tenant and defendant in a separate action. This situation could continue for years without action by the County
