The commissioners officially voted against the Racetrac permit and our neighborhood is safe. This victory proves what happens when we organize and push back against bad development. Keep an eye on local zoning records to make sure they do not try to sneak this proposal back onto the agenda later.

Racetrac is attempting to obtain the property at SR 436 and Hanging Moss Road to build a 24/7 gas station. If this is allowed to happen it will create more crime, lighting and noise nuisance, flooding challenges, decreased property value and become an eyesore for our beautiful community nestled around the Winter Park Pines Golf Course. The Orange County Planning and Zoning Board meets April 19th. After that the Orange County Commissioners will meet on June 5th to decide if the Racetrac will be allowed to build. Please help us stop this horrendous station from being built and protect our neighborhood.

As a nearby property owner, I am opposed to the Racetrac @SR436 proposal. I believe their is a real danger of runoff/flooding to my property as well as additional noise, light pollution. This proposal would be a detriment to our peaceful community.

We already have flooding on holes four thru seven without the development of the property parallel to hole number seven.

My primary residence since 1980 has been 1123 Fairway Drive. I oppose the zone change and encourage Orange County to deny request.

Keep Zoning as Professional=Office as is now. Major concerns are drainage in this part of Fairway/Golfside and increase in crime as a result if this property is rezoned to Commercial-Retail. This proposed Race-Trac is not a good fit for a residential area.

As residents situated on the Winter Pines Golf Course for 27 years, we feel that the proposed 24-hour operation Racetrac gasoline station would be detrimental to character of the neighborhood due to noise, light pollution, and possible crime increase at late hours.

I am completely opposed to the Racetrac gas station on SR 436. As a realtor in the area for the past 15 years I know from past experience that putting in a gas station near a beautiful subdivision as ours will greatly decrease the property values of our homes. In addition to that their is more noise and light pollution and ruin the wildlife in our community. Putting in a Racetrac gas station will only decrease our property values and I am completely against it.

As a homeowner in the Golfside community, I am strongly opposed to the proposed Racetrac at SR 436 and Hanging Moss
