Dear Commissions, please use common sense planning and protect this Sarasota jewel from noise, pollution of a Recycling plant next to the Celery Fields bird sanctuary. Vote against this industrial use. There are so many better uses of this land which would support are popular park.

An old friend came to visit me in Sarasota and the first place he wanted to go was NOT the beaches, it was the Celery Fields. Why? He's a devoted birdwatcher from Pennsylvania who'd heard of this natural habitat and came here to see it with his son. This haven has become world-renowned among people like him. Indeed, his visit was part of his bucket list as a lifelong birdwatcher. Selling these parcels next to the Celery Fields would be a foolish selling off an invaluable tourist destination. A penny wise, a pound foolish. Shame on you for considering short-term profits over long-term public interest.

This should be a place where we learn about how we care fore our water, soil, air, wildlife AND where families can walk, ride slow bikes, and wheelchairs.

Please do not ruin beautiful land, push out more of the animals that live there! Sarasota county has lost so much in the past few years to new construction and all the lovely creatures are loosing their homes! There is already a recycling facility located on 301

I do not want a 16 acre industrial recycling plant or a Restaurant Depot built next to the bird sanctuary at the Celery Fields.

I do not want this recycling plant next to the bird sanctuary. Nor do I want the added traffic of dump trucks on a road that is the only road out or in to this neighborhood. This road is one way in both directions.

I grew up around here and it's such a beautiful and peaceful area and to have people even think about building on it and only caring about money signs instead of nature and the birds home is so heartless. There needs to be a line that shouldn't be crossed to where people can build. Nothing anybody builds there is more important than the birds area and a peaceful place for our local community to go to and enjoy nature and exercise and have pic nics ... under no surcumstances should they touch that land. Please and thank you.
