The Tiger Point Community of Gulf Breeze is a long-established area encompassing approximately 20-25 distinct neighborhoods and generally appealing commercial entities along the south side of Highway 98.
As an unincorporated entity, the residents of Tiger Point have little say in the management of the infrastructure, development, and services available to our neighborhoods. Our immediate concern is with the zoning variance requested by Jehle-Halstead, Inc., Case# 2019-R-010 for the parcel currently in use as the driving range at the Tiger Point Golf Club. The signees of this petition request the Santa Rosa County Zoning Board OPPOSE this proposal for the following reasons:
- Designation of roughly 13.25 acres as "Residential, Medium Density" opens the parcel in question up to potentially 132 new residences.
- Medium Density housing is in no way compatible with the adjacent and surrounding land use.
- There is little in the way of support or improvement for existing infrastructure in place, which currently sees our neighborhood streets pot-holed and flooded due to damaged drainage systems, and traffic-laden due to absorbing excessive traffic from Highway 98.
- Our schools are at or beyond capacity.
- City and County services (fire, police, water, sewer, garbage, and internet) are stretched to the absolute limit of their ability to support existing housing and commercial properties, let alone an additional 130+ residences.
In signing this petition, I acknowledge that I am a current resident of Santa Rosa County, Florida and that I oppose the approval of ANY zoning variance that will create opportunities for multi-family residential properties to be developed in the unincorporated areas of Gulf Breeze generally, and the Tiger Point Community specifically.

I have been walking through our streets lately and seeing the same drainage issues that we all know have been ignored for too long. Adding more density to this land before fixing what is broken under our feet is a mistake that will ruin the neighborhood we have built.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that my neighbors refuse to let our community infrastructure crumble under poor planning. This support gives me the fuel to keep pushing back against this rezoning until the board understands what is truly at stake for our homes.

I am against any new developments in Gulf Breeze and Tiger Point. In Tiger Point, we lack sidewalks, have standing water after rains and drive through pot holes. We should fix our current infrastructure before adding new burdens to the budget.
As very new residents in Bay Colony, where we built our new home to try to escape congestion and traffic nightmares, among other problems associated with living in a big city, in our former hometown of Baton Rouge, we strenuously oppose this new development for all the reasons set forth in the preliminary statement.
I’m very concerned living on the golf course this will set a prescience for selling the West course.
Do not rezone! Highway 98 is already overcrowded. We don't need our property values degraded. We have drainage problems especially at the Sacred Heart facility. Protect our neighborhood, it is the zoning boards job.
If approved this would have negative effects for the Tiger POINT area that would impact schools, traffic and our great first responders that are already overcomed and under staffed.
Infrastructure must come first!
Opposed!

The school in this zoned area is already over capacity and the current road will not handle an additional 130 cars.
