PLEASE keep this lovely park as it is for the people and the wildlife. ...as provided for in the DEED restrictions stipulated by the Gift of Calvin N. and Martha E. Payne to the citizens of the City of Sarasota.

Building a concert hall seems to conflict with the Payne family wishes for this space. I like the idea of putting it adjacent to UTC. Don’t eliminate a park space!

ENOUGH development. The long term effects are NEGATIVE for people who live here, frustrating for visitors due to the increased traffic and overwhelms all the reasons people find this area attractive and inviting. Enough is enough.

There are so many reasons that this is wrong. And so many other locations that would be better. Save the park for what it was donated to be.

I support the Sarasota Orchestra but not a proposed concert hall in Payne Park.

My wife and I are winter residents in Sarasota and occasionally play tennis in Payne Park. We regularly bicycle and walk in P P as well and frequent the Friday night cafe events as well. We attend events at the Van Wezel at its current location and strongly disapprove of relocating this Performance venue to Payne Park.

Stop overdeveloping this county! The concert hall is for profit it’s not a free Park !! Why not put it by the van weasel where there is parking already or by UTC ? Plenty of parking there!!

The Sarasota Orchestra should have no rights to this property. Sarasota needs to keep open spaces and leave it for the purpose that the Payne family meant it for.

Keep the park. There are plenty of other places to build. Don't take away from the people who frequent this place. Animals need a place to live too. Isn't there enough crap in this city? Hell, people can't even see the water for the buildings in recent years. Find another place.
