My name is Keith Schlosser and I live at 1480 Lily's Cay Circle in Vero Beach and I've come to learn of the proposed Harbor Bluffs Project and would like to express my concerns and ask some important questions. My wife and I are out of town assisting a family member recover from a surgery or we would attend the upcoming meeting. My hope is that my concerns will be considered even though we are unable to attend in person. My first concern is that there is limited information available for impacted citizens to review. We've not seen architectural / urban design renderings, we can't locate information on size, value, entry points, if the units are rentals or owned,... so we can't fully understand the potential impact to our quality of life, home value, safety,... - Can we get these details and have time to process the dat prior to decisions being made?l Next, has their been an environmental / planning survey done that clearly outlines the impact to the area? My guess is that the county and town have either done or received a detailed impact assessment to include traffic impacts, drainage, and other impacts on the immediate area so I was hoping that could be sent to those listed. My next concern is the size of the development. My guess is that it will be the largest planned community in Vero Beach, the County, and one of the largest in the state - this is not what I, or most Lily's Cay residents, planned for when we purchased our homes. Had I known this was iii the works I wouldn't have bought and I strongly feel that the prices we paid did not reflect the impact of such a large project directly across the street. Also, there is yet another development going in on the corner of US 1 and 41 st which will further add to the congestion and in my view negatively impact our quality of life. Based on the little I know about this project I've concluded that this will be financially and personally devastating. I've been a resident of the county for years and feel that the value of our community lies in the thoughtfulness of our government planning efforts but as I write this I'm wondering if the needs of the current residents in the area are being overlooked? I'm sorry I can't attend in person but hope you will take this note into consideration as the county reviews the project and it's, almost guaranteed, negative impact on the current residents in the area. I'm all for progress and understand the need for development but this project seems excessive to say the least.
