This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier County. For details see: www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings Our Mission Our mission is to protect the residents of the Vanderbilt Beach and Naples Park neighborhoods from unreasonable development and, in a more general sense, to protect all of Collier County’s residents who are users of Vanderbilt Beach, itself, by promoting continued and improving access.
This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier County. For details see: Pro www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings Responsible Development We are not opposed to the development of the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive. Quite the contrary. We are for responsible development that is both consistent and compatible with the neighborhood.
This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc Consistency based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier County. For details see: www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings and Compatibility There are literally dozens of issues from our perspective with One Naples, as proposed, based on the site’s current zoning and the Collier County Land Development Code These will be considered and presented in the Collier County Planning Staff’s report soon to be made available Our concern is that One Naples, or any project developed on this property, is consistent and compatible with the neighborhood.

Rendering provided by Stock Development Height In the Stock-provided rendering (the red oval is ours) One Naples is shown in the far distance. This type of view is typical from what we have seen of Stock’s renderings. It appears to minimize the impact of the development on the neighborhood. Our close-up view allows for a meaningful comparison of One Naples, as proposed, with nearby buildings. We believe that it is overpowering and shows the development is neither compatible nor consistent. This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier County. For details see: www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings
Compatible and Courtesy of Google Maps Consistent? This photo shows the number of stories of the buildings to the south of the development site located both on the gulf side and the lagoon side of Gulf Shore Drive. On the gulf side, they range from 2 to 12 stories, on the lagoon side from 2 to 5 stories. Stock’s proposed development is 16 stories, four more than any of the nearby gulf side buildings and eleven more than any nearby building on the lagoon side. In our view, this is neither compatible nor consistent.
Information from SETBACKS AND Stuart and Associates MASS Gulf Shore Drive’s undulating setbacks and front yard open spaces (the orange shading on each side of the red lines that mark the road) range from as little as 25’ to as much as 110’. One Naples, shown in the lower right, below has setbacks that are10’ to 15’, demonstrably narrower than those of other properties. (1) One Naples, as proposed, requests 15% open space, half of the Code requirement and dramatically less than what we believe is typical in the neighborhood. In our view, this is neither compatible nor consistent. (1) From Stock’s Exhibit B One Naples MPUD Development Standards
DENSITY Density is defined as “the quantity of people or things in a given area or space.” One Naples, as proposed, will contain 172 residential units. Current zoning allows 16 units per acre or 86 units. The requested amount doubles what’s allowed! In our view, this is neither compatible nor consistent. This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier (1) From Stock’s Exhibit B One Naples County. For details see: MPUD Development Standards www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings
PROPOSED USES MARINA Stock’s proposal includes a request for a marina of undetermined size. To date, no environmental studies have been presented to justify a marina of more than 5 slips. Further, the current request allows for the potential use of the marina by persons other than owners of residences and by a limited number of charter boat companies. (1) We have no issues with a PRIVATE marina for the use of owners of residences. In our view, this is neither compatible nor consistent. This rendering was prepared by Save Vanderbilt Beach Inc based primarily on Stock Development filings with Collier (1) From Stock’s Exhibit B One Naples County. For details see: MPUD Development Standards www.savevanderbiltbeach.com/detailedrenderings
PROPOSED USES HOTEL Stock’s proposal includes a request his development may include “multi-family residential and/or hotel units not to exceed 172 total units.” (1) Stock has stated many times that he has no intention of developing a hotel. It is our opinion that a hotel would create unacceptable activity at this location. Further, we believe that Stock’s interest in adding this use to his request is to protect his interest, allowing him a financially viable escape in the event he should decide not to proceed with his development and to market the site to others. In our view, this is neither compatible nor consistent.
