Thirty years ago Greater Construction Company sold a parcel of land within the Greater Groves Community to South Lake Hospital for $1. This came with the understanding that a medical complex or a hospital would be built for the residents of the Four Corners Community.

The hospital has listed this piece of land for sale and is set to profit over $600,000. Recently the residents of our community were informed that Steve Smith with New Beginnings has petitioned Lake County change the zoning variance to increase the number of dwellings allowed on this protected piece of land.

Sitting in the middle of two residential communities the plans posted online provide no Northbound access from Highway 27 to the proposed apartments. This means an increase of traffic for both the Westchester and Greater Groves communities. 

Another concern is a lack of parking spots in the design plan. The piece of land is just shy of 4 acres and Mr. Smith plans on cramming 72 apartments in this space. 

Please support the Greater Groves and Westchester by signing this petition in opposition of this zoning variance.
