Petition to Oppose 7-Eleven and Gas Station at the Entrance to Del Webb Minneola

This should not be permitted in our neighborhood.

Please do not allow this!

I am opposed to the 7-11 at this location.

No need for a 7-11 at this corner

Danger comes with a 7-11 and not needed

We do not need a gas station or convenience store in our residential area. We do not need or want the additional traffic & crime this will bring to our area.

No 7-11

No 7/11 or other gas station on the corner of our development. We purchased our homes based on no gas stations being allowed to build,

To the Minneola City Council, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the special exception requested by the developer of the proposed 7-Eleven to allow gas pumps at the entrance of our planned community. This decision is in direct conflict with the vision of our community and the values we have all invested in. Our community was designed and developed as a planned community, and we pay additional Community Development District (CDD) taxes to ensure the high standards and well-thought-out design are maintained. The goal of this planning was to create a cohesive, attractive, and valuable neighborhood. Allowing a gas station with fuel pumps at the main gateway to our development would directly undermine these efforts and introduce a commercial use that is incompatible with the residential character of our area. Impact on Property Values and Community Character: The primary entrance to our neighborhood is a crucial first impression and a key factor in our collective property value. A gas station is not a fitting "gateway" to a planned community or to the natural beauty of the Sugar Loaf Mountain region. Introducing a highly commercial operation like a gas station at this location will inevitably decrease property values for nearby homes and negatively impact the overall aesthetic of our community. The precedent set by approving this special exception is also a major concern. As noted in the provided documents, approving one gas station could easily lead to more. We can't let a domino effect of commercial development erode the character of our neighborhood. Lack of Demonstrated Need: There is no demonstrated need for a new gas station at this specific location. We are a planned community, not a commercial thoroughfare. The city has already approved a major gas station as part of the Wal-Mart/Sam's Club complex at Hancock and Citrus Grove. It is logical that future gas stations will be located closer to major intersections and the town

This is not needed on this corner and would be dangerous for bikers using the roadways dueto increased traffic.

I fail to see the need for a gas station at this location. There is a Circle K just a few mile south on Hancock and US 27 and Hwy 50 are just a short distance where many other fuel options exist. I feel this would also impact the beauty of the area, which is what appealed to us to begin with. Our quiet community will no longer exist if this plan is approved.

We do not want any gas station or 7-Eleven near our community Del webb Minneola Florida. Please move them at least a few miles away, thank you!

Dont want

Light commercial office, assisted living, or small retail is very different from a traffic and property value, quality of life perspective than a gas station/convenience store. Please deny the exception and allow the land be developed according to the initial zoning plan.

Safety concerns, increased traffic at corner and could decrease property values.

It will decrease property values, safety concerns, increased traffic at corner.

I can envision no positive benefits to our community, in a 24/7 convenience store across the street. From our front entry. It undermines and devalues the look and presentation of the neighborhood.

One of the reasons we moved here from Tampa, non-congested, non-commercial surroundings! We do NOT NEED a 7-11 in this beautiful untouched community! Leave our Mountain Alone!
