The Issue

We are residents of the neighborhood surrounding the proposed Autumn Palms development at 3050 South Cranberry Blvd. Our community is deeply concerned about the impact that this new construction will have on our daily lives, privacy, and the character of the area. This development, as currently planned, is entirely out of scale with our existing low-density neighborhood. It includes multi-family housing units and commercial spaces, along with recreational facilities like a dog park and pickleball courts.

The potential consequences are alarming. Firstly, with buildings reaching three to four stories, our privacy is at risk as these structures overlook our homes and backyards. Secondly, the planned parking lot lighting will lead to unavoidable light pollution, disrupting the peaceful nights we currently cherish. Noise from the proposed dog park and pickleball courts threatens the serenity that our families have enjoyed for years.

Beyond these immediate concerns, the increased traffic that such a development would bring is a pressing issue. South Cranberry Blvd is already a bustling thoroughfare, with safety hazards that could be exacerbated by the influx of more vehicles. The prospect of more traffic not only jeopardizes pedestrian safety but also risks increasing commute times and posing challenges to emergency response in the area.

We believe that the development plan as proposed does not align with the character and capacity of our neighborhood. It is crucial that our city leaders understand the significant and potentially harmful changes that could arise if this plan proceeds without modifications. Alternatives must be considered that respect the existing community's density levels and preserve the quality of life for all residents.

We urge city officials to consider these concerns seriously and deny the current site development plan for Autumn Palms. Let's work towards a solution that accommodates growth without compromising the essence of our beloved neighborhood.

Please sign this petition to show your support in preserving the character and safety of our community.
