Selby's development is impacting at least four established neighbor- hoods and over 500 home owners and commercializing a 501 c3.

Concerned about safety. Concerned about residential neighborhood traffic flow. Concerned about a monstrous multi level garage. Concerned about noise. Concerned about the negative impacts of peaceful enjoyment. Vote No!

Please do not even consider this plan. It totally destroys the gardens as we know and love. Thank you

Do not even touch this beautiful and history property. It belongs to the citizens of Sarasota County and not to the greed of future developers!

We all love and strive to protect Selby Gardens. The proposed master plan is misguided at best. It’s indisputable that Marie Selby made the generous donation of the gardens to the city in opposition of high rise development.

Shelby Gardens is a unique treasure. Even when I just get to drive byI enjoy it’s beauty.

I say no to the plans to build a parking garage and other structures that will ultimately ruin the integrity of Shelby Gardens.

This little gem of a garden was meant to be just that. We have new entertainment/dining/catering venues being constructed each year in the city. We don’t have botanical gardens being developed. Respect the Gardens’ history, preserve it for us and for the future.

This is a travesty to what Marie Selby wanted. It would no longer be a “tranquil oasis!”

Help us keep our neighborhood a neighborhood. We don't want a large concrete structure in a residential-zoned area

This is a very bad , Marie Shelby would NOT be pleased with this proposed plan . It totally compromises the integrity of what Marie Shelby Gardens is all about. Stop this nonsense today. Thank you sincerely Sarah Lindquist

I have fond memories of a family wedding held at Shelby Gardens. The peaceful tranquility and beautiful surroundings enhanced our blessed occasion. There are enough ticky-tacky commercialized areas in Florida to attract and entertain our tourists. Please, let’s retain and maintain the few beautiful, natural areas that remain. We should defer to the intentions of the original benefactor, and with respect and common sense, rule out this move toward “progress!” We would be erasing, not enhancing, this beautiful garden setting!
