Save Pink Floyd Grand Oak

Please do not let them cut down this beautiful tree!

I'm SO tired of the politicians caring only about $$$ from developers & not the whole community in so many ways so they allow money-hungry developers to turn this state into one giant development, one huge townhouse, one giant parking lot -- pave paradise to put up a parking lot! No! This tree is ancient & historical. It's seen so much more than we have & it and it's siblings are trying to save this earth.....yet humans so ignorant simply kill them. Why? The developers can work AROUND trees! We did! Save this gorgeous tree! Show you have at least a bit of a heart PLEASE! STOP the killing! Do not destroy this tree!!

This ancient oak should be preserved, development is threatening the character of our neighborhood and this tree is a symbol of that and more. I am a resident of Arlington park for 25 years, and it saddens me to see what this neighborhood is becoming.

Don’t destroy Pink Floyd!

Keep Sarasota green!!!!!

What greed can do to people.

Please save this Oak.

I hope this developer is a person of character rather than greed

Real trees give our neighborhood their identity. New modern landscaping trees make the neighborhoods bland and sterile

This guy is a historical landmark in our town. Let's find a way to continue the growth of our town, while preserving it's natural beauty. I get it. It's his property, he bought it, but perhaps we can reach a compromise of cutting down the long, low hanging branches that would obstruct Pham's new properties, while preserving the other parts.

My mother grew up in the neighborhood on Hyde Park, and my grandparents' house was bulldozed last fall, likely by this same developer. As a kid, I always enjoyed the large old oaks of the neighborhood, might have even climbed this one. Too many of our old homes and old tree habitats have been destroyed by greed and big ugly houses. Please save this one in honor of all those lost.

Build around the tree. Change your plans. It will add beauty to your new development. Be kind not greedy

A city homeowner

My grandmother had a little 1940s house on Hyde Park, not too far from this tree. Her little house was bulldozed and is now some rich persons' concrete pool patio. Childhood memories of Easter Egg hunts and Christmas Eve dinners, and my great-grandfather feeding squirrels in the back yard bulldozed and covered in concrete. Too much of that kind of destruction has happened in this town. Yea, so, it's just a tree, right? A tree that has been here twice as long as any of us. A tree that is so giant it has created it's own mini environmentment and home to animals and insects. A living creature that has earned the right just by it's survival to be left alone. Please don't let another Sarasota memory be concreted over for profit.

THERE ARE FEW THINGS IN LIFE THAT LIVE TO BE OVER 2 CENTURIES IN AGE‼️ AND IF GOD & MOTHER NATURE DEEM IT FIT TO LET THIS MAGNIFICENT LIVING THING CONTINUE TO LIVE ON, WHAT RIGHT DOES ANY HUMAN BEING BELIVE THEY HAVE MORE SAY THAN GOD & MOTHER NATURE❓

PLEASE DO NOT CUT THIS BEAUTIFUL TREE DOWN. WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS NOW IS BEAUTY AND KINDNESS. FOR OUR PLANET AND ONE ANOTHER.

Please save this this beautiful old tree!

Should have been considered a historical landsight.

It seem like Sarasota just doesn’t care about this sort of thing God bless everyone that has spoken up to save the tree

we need to start taking care of our environment
