While I love the idea of growing our tourism base, and the added tax payer dollars to the county funds, this proposed structure is too big, and will not only be a blight on the skyline or the area but slippery slope for future developments that will not be good for the area. Please vote NO on this. Make the developer go back to drawing board and redesign this attraction. We do not want a Vegas in Orlando.

Please do not allow the skyplex tower to be built in Orlando--or if it is built, please limit it to a height of 300 feet. We want Orlando to continue to be a classy city--and not one that looks like the Las Vegas strip.

Do not modify current zoning. I would not be opposed to conforming to existing height and density regulations

Another ugly tourist contraption will further reduce our property value. That translates into less taxes for Orange County. Vote no to the skyplex tower!

I drive and sand lake traffic is a huge mess now. It takes 15-20 minutes now to make a left on Sand Lake when travelling north on I drive from convention center side. It will make people not want to eat on restaurant row on the weekends, at least the convention crowd.

I am opposed based on height of the structure, the noise that it will likely create, and the increased traffic in an already congested area.

Please think of our community and don't allow skyplex tower.

Seriously? We don't need another "Big Ugly". Please vote NO not to just limit the height but to ban it completely. Traffic is bad enough in that area and adding screaming noise pollution would just be intolerable.

Dr. Phillips and its lovely lakes once had a great balance between commercial and residential. Now, we have the lighting from the Orlando Eye streaming in our windows at night plus 75db noise coming from Rocco's Tacos at midnight. Do the people that live here really count?

Although I recognize how much the tourism industry and attractions contribute to our economy, I hope that good judgment will prevail and this attraction in an already congested area will be rejected. Please help us maintain our quality of life in the City Beautiful!

NO! Traffic is already nearly gridlocked, with almost constant delays, accidents and road-rage: any further development in this area must be only roadway expansion, (including mandatory fly-overs for Sand Lake Road and International Drive), water, sewer, data communications, traffic control systems, security cameras, power systems, added law enforcement and fire service needs.

Unbelievable to think that this carnival ride would be approved by City Councilors.

The Skyplex Tower is another tacky attraction that will further cheapen our hometown. PLEASE VOTE NO.

I already hate the Eye and can see the Skyplex as being another, bigger eyesore.
