- A developer has proposed REZONING of the property at Alafaya Trail and Beasley to allow a 92 UNIT LOW INCOME APARTMENT COMPLEX.
We ask for no zoning change on this parcel; instead leave the original plans of an assisted living facility or commercial property at that site.
How would allowing this directly impact us?
1) increase traffic by 200-300 more vehicles
2) increase school population
3) decrease our property value
4) increase crime rates by unsupervised children when a single parent is working
5) affect adjacent single homes resident’s privacy by allowing the apartment tenants to look into their yards 24/7
6) affect adjacent residential street by potential tenants using residents streets as shortcuts to avoid traffic on Alafaya- which have no side walks or speed bumps to protect playing children or school bus pick up areas
A group of local residents have decided to put this petition together in an effort to stop this approval. This proposed rezoning has passed one board meeting.
We encourage ALL available to attend the next meeting April 9 at 1:30pm or to fill out this petition OPPOSING the project. County Services Building, 1101 E. First Street, Sanford. BCC Chambers, Room 1028
My grandchildren live in the neighborhood right next to this. I am very concerned about the increased traffic this will bring on their street. How are you going to keep the apartment residents from cutting through the neighborhood? It also takes away my family's their privacy since anyone in the higher floors of the apartments will be able to look right down on them in their back yard. This is a huge mistake. It will increase crime, bring down property values and affect the quality of the schools with the increased number of students.
