PETITION FOR: REZONING OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OF SUNSET MANOR
COMMUNITY (SU 12-0429 GEN). LOCATED ON SUNSET LANE AND US HWY 41, LUTZ, FLORIDA
We are proponents of the rezoning of property surrounding SUNSET MANOR COMMUNITY that will allow the construction of a 1000 student high school. The increase in traffic has been mitigated by staggering arrival and departure times so as not to add traffic during peak times.
The proposed high school will provide a neighborhood school to those students who now have to travel to either Freedom or Steinbrenner which are both a minimum of 8 miles from Lutz. one way. The school would also provide those students who presently attend Learning Gate Community School the choice of attending a neighborhood public school. The proposed high school is planned to be built so as to have a minimal impact on the surrounding sensitive environment. A high school that puts the land and environment as a top priority is the best use for this property.
We would like it noted that the petition against the high school has some incorrect information.
No petting zoo is planned nor is a 30,000-gallon pool planned.
We, the people, strongly urge you TO rezone this property.
Those opposed have sent two sets of petitions one with 19 pages of petitions with up to 8 signatures per line and the second with 15 pages of 8 lines per page.
PETITION AGAINST: REZONING OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OF SUNSET MANOR
COMMUNITY (SU 12-0429 GENl. LOCATED ON SUNSET LANE AND US HWY 41, LUTZ, FLORIDA
We are opposing the rezoning of property surrounding SUNSET MANOR COMMUNITY that will allow the construction of an 1000 student high school. The increase in traffic, noise levels, and pollution would have a disastrous effect on the unique landscape and environment of Lutz's community.
The proposed high school will consists of 4 classroom buildings, large parking lot, chicken coops, barn, petting zoo, natural garden, compost, hiking trails, and 30,000 gallon pool for fire protection. We feel that the minimum avai lable uplands are of an inappropriate size and nature to accommodate such a large project without causing strain on the quality and natural waterflow.
We, the people, strongly urge you to NOT rezone this property.
AND
To Whom It May Concern:
We the residents of the Lake Keen Area hereby attached a Petition Against Application No: SU 12-0429. We are in opposition to this school and have signed this petition for the following reasons:
Sunset Lane: Currently it does not meet current right-of-way standards and no improvements are scheduled for this road other than other than making an access road on Sunset Lane. Sunset Lane between the Winn Dixie Shopping Plaza and Walgreen's is a death trap and is al ready accident- prone. Commuters trying to get out onto Sunset in the morning are stalled, waiting - and waiting for a break in traffic. Why put more traffic on a road already too crowded road?
Schools: Current ly we have Lutz Elementary, Lutz Learning Center, Maniscalco Elementary School and Lutz Preparatory School. At present there are four schools in a few mile radiuses. Do we need another school here, No! Lutz Preparatory School (f/k/a Berean) is also a charter School located less than a mile on U.S. 41 from the proposed school, do we need a duplicate, No.
Ground Water: With approximately 1,015 students using bathroom facilities each school day, what is going to happen to our water? How many wells are going to be drilled? How much additional water will be pumped out each school day? Is this site going to be under and overseen by the Southwest Florida Management District for water usage.
Path to Park: We presently do not want high and middle school students running around our neighborhood, but it seems to me if you are planning on building a path to Nye Park. Is that where you intend to send you students after school?
Since we only learned last Wednesday, May 2, 2012, that everything submitted on the last Petition number was discarded, so now we submit this Petition. If we had more time, we would have had a much more organized drive.
Please know that some people signed this petition for one or more of the aforesaid reasons.
Please consider the feelings of a neighborhood affected by your decision by voting no school.
