Too much congestion not a good location with high probable of more accidents creating unsafe environment in the area.

As a resident who lives in one of the subdivisions on Bellamy Road, I oppose this 7-11 store and gas station, or any similar project on this property. It will cause overwhelming traffic to that corner, which will increase potential accidents.

We chose this neighborhood because of its residential character and quality of life. We respectfully ask the City Commission to carefully consider the long-term impact this proposal could have on traffic, safety, and the character of the community for both current and future residents.

Live in Del Webb community. Too much traffic already and proposed 7-Eleven will impact market value of our homes in a negative manner.

There is a big gas station 3 miles away
It is not needed now or in the future
It will bring excess traffic, light & noise pollution to us.

Dear Mayor and Esteemed Members of the Minneola City Council,
We write to you as concerned residents of Del Webb Minneola, compelled—once again—to voice our profound opposition to the proposed convenience store with fueling stations at the corner of North Hancock Road and CR 561A.
It is both disheartening and perplexing that this matter has resurfaced following the City Council’s prior and well-reasoned denial. That decision reflected not only sound planning principles, but also a clear recognition of the incompatibility of such an intensive commercial use adjacent to a residential community of this nature.
While we acknowledge the framework of the mediated settlement agreement, we respectfully submit that the revised conditions fail to mitigate the very real and lasting adverse impacts this development will impose.
Foremost among our concerns is the inevitable erosion of residential property values. A gas station and convenience store—particularly one with the potential for 24-hour operation—introduces a commercial intensity that is fundamentally at odds with the expectations of homeowners who invested in a master-planned, lifestyle-driven community. The presence of fuel pumps, increased traffic, and transient activity will undeniably diminish the desirability and market perception of our neighborhood.
Equally troubling is the issue of noise and disruption. Even with limited hours initially proposed, the agreement explicitly allows for future 24-hour operations upon roadway expansion. This creates a deferred but unavoidable escalation in noise from vehicle traffic, fuel deliveries, idling engines, and late-night activity—conditions wholly incompatible with the peaceful residential environment we were promised.
Public safety and quality-of-life concerns cannot be overlooked. Gas stations and convenience stores, by their nature, attract high volumes of transient traffic. This often brings with it loitering, aggressive driving, and what residents com

This proposed project is environmentally unsafe as well as physically unsafe, given its proposed location. In addition, it will absolutely increase nuisance traffic in a 100 percent residential area as well as as be an eyesore in what currently is a quiet yet breathtaking view from rolling hills. It’s a bad idea which will harm a beautiful location.

Please ask investor to reevaluate parcel and partner with town and county government to turn it into a biking trailhead with small businesses that would support biking and community interests. Thank you.

We purchased in this area due to its surrounding residential zoning. Approving a gas station and convenience store diminishes land values. “Welcome to Sugarloaf” first thing you see is gas station. Great, what we all wanted.
