As a resident of Lake Forest, I am deeply concerned about the three proposed industrial warehouse projects on Enterprise Way. These developments threaten the very fabric of our community, bringing significant environmental, health, and safety risks to our neighborhoods.
Protecting Our Neighborhoods:
Lake Forest is a beautiful, family-oriented city, and projects like these disrupt the residential character that attracted so many of us to live here. High-density industrial developments are simply incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods, including Baker Ranch and Meadows, which are located just steps from the proposed sites.
Environmental and Health Risks:
The potential for increased air pollution from diesel trucks and industrial activities is alarming. Residents—especially children and seniors—will be directly exposed to harmful pollutants. The noise from 24/7 operations will further degrade our quality of life. Living within 100 feet of truck routes or loading docks is not what we signed up for when choosing to call Lake Forest home.
Traffic and Infrastructure Strain:
The roads we rely on, like Bake Parkway and Alton Parkway, are already busy during peak hours. Adding heavy truck traffic from these warehouses will only make things worse. The limited road improvements planned for these projects don’t come close to addressing the long-term damage and congestion they’ll create.
Impact on Vulnerable Populations:
The Meadows Senior Apartments, home to over 100 residents aged 62 and older, will be directly affected. Our seniors deserve peace and safety, not constant noise, polluted air, and the dangers of increased traffic.
The Need for Transparency and Community Input:
These projects seem to have progressed without meaningful engagement with residents. We deserve to have our voices heard through public hearings and to see comprehensive Environmental Impact Reports that fully address the cumulative risks to our community.
The Bigger Picture:
Allowing industrial facilities to encroach on residential areas sets a dangerous precedent. What will stop more of these projects from spreading in the future? If these warehouses are approved, we risk losing the safe, family-friendly environment that makes Lake Forest special.
I urge the City Council and Planning Department to reject these projects and instead pursue developments that align with our city’s vision of community well-being and sustainability. We must prioritize the health, safety, and quality of life for all residents over industrial expansion.
Let’s protect what makes Lake Forest a great place to live—today and for generations to come.
Fangxian apoyó esta petición: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestAs a senior citizen I know how important we need good air quality not just outside but in inside our homes. This type of construction bringing all sorts of equipment will definitely bring the air quality to a dangerous level for our lungs and bodies. All that dust/dirt and tiny unhealthy particles traveling in the air spreading everywhere will be bringing it into our environment breathing into it somehow, somewhere and someway which in time will cause people harm. As you know one can get that disease where your hands shake a lot at present I can’t remember the name. My cousin used to drive those caterpillars leveling land and he cintracted the disease at the young sge of 45 years old. The dirt particles build up in your body in time. I urgently suggest to look elsewhere where it is not heavily populated. Also it’s not just senior citizens like myself but young children and adults who have allergies and pulmonary issues too.
Thank you

Vera apoyó esta petición: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestI lived within 1 mile radius from those projects. My major concern regarding to the renovations / expansions of the existing buildings are 1. traffic, 2. noise, and 3. pollutions.
1. Traffic: Lots of commuters drive from Foothill Ranch to I-5 to work. Please consider to restrict the number of cars to the on Bake parkway or Lake Forest drive so it won't cause bad traffic jams when local people needs to go to work or go home.
2. Noise: Please make sure the noise from the business buildings won't cause trouble to the sleeping qualities of the residents between 9PM to 8AM.
3. Pollution: My major concerns are chemical pollution to the air. This is more to the type of business. I assume the number and types of the cars to the parking lots will be the same as before. Please restrict the industry types of the future tenants.
Thank you for your time to take a look at my concerns.

Grace apoyó esta petición: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestI have lived in my house since 1989 and have had such a wonderfully peaceful environment to live in. With the current situation of these concerts going on it is beyond enjoyable. I want my peace and quiet back so that I can enjoy my home like I did when I moved in. I do pay taxes and feel like we should not have to tolerate listening to somebody else’s music. I feel really sorry for all the families with young children.
Wendy apoyó esta petición: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!Seascape Resort used to be quiet. I used to enjoy living across from it, especially playing golf at the resort with my Dad. But now they have turned the resort into a “music vacation” place. I wish they would build an interior space for their concerts or at the very minimum do something to reduce the sound directed at our neighborhood. These concerts last for a long time. From around 3ish to 10pm for 3 days for “each” event. We are not looking forward to the six - 3 days events they have scheduled for the Fall. Please do something. This has become too much. I hate seeing my Dad work 12 hour days and then have to come home to hear the bass from a loud concert with the grand finale between 9pm-10pm.
Savannah apoyó esta petición: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!It is disappointing to renovate our home after 28 years of living in the same home, and absolutely loving it because it was located on the quiet side of MIRAMAR BEACH on the Bay. However, now we are experiencing an ever increasing invasion of sound and uncomfortable vibrations from the bass entering into our home environments due to the Topeka Concerts at Seascape Resort. We were tolerant when it started because it was a 3-day concert in the Spring and a 3 -day concert in the Fall. However the music festivals have grown in number with SIX 3-day music festival events scheduled in the Fall of 2025. This has gotten out of hand. We have met with the founder, we have emailed him, people have invited him over to their houses so he could experience the level of noise we are having to tolerate that has become frustrating for our families. Unfortunately, he has responded with empty promises and outright lies and manipulations. Topeka LLC never installed any type of sound mitigating infrastructure when they started these music festivals and this is a problem! They also directed the stage and the speakers to point towards the locals on the bay. This is inapporpaiate and unhealthy for the residential areas to be experiencing noise pollution of over 90 decibels for days and hours at a time. We receive approximately 6 hours a day for each 3 day concert, and sometimes there is a 4th concert day for the VIP guest. We need help getting signatures so our county commissioners can update and add to the current Walton County noise ordinance for our growing Walton County. If these ordinances do not start including appropriate decibel levels for neighborhoods and also the enforcement of sound absorbing fencing around all of these music festival events, then the entire South Walton is vulnerable to receiving potential year round noise violations invading our residential communities. We need to get to the root of the problem by updating our current Walton County Noise Ordinances so people can still enjoy the concerts without interrupting the residents constitutional rights to have peace and quiet in our residential neighborhoods. Life at home should be a refuge, a place to rejuvenate after a stressful day of work. Home should be a place for rest and relaxation, home is where we raise our children and have meaningful conversations with our families. We should not be asked to be tolerant when there are solutions that Topeka LLC, Seascape and Walton County should be addressing that would allow people to enjoy the concerts while we also enjoy our peaceful home environments.
Sabrina apoyó esta petición: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!The concerts are so loud people 6 miles away can hear them. The county should enforce some type of sound barrier, especially since these music concerts have changed from a few events a year to now "music vacations." Clearly, they have a plan to make the resort a music focused venue. If this is true, they either need to build an interior concert hall where the music events are held inside or they need to install sound minimizing infrastructure. The county needs to enforce this.
Alex apoyó esta petición: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!We live on Chase Run across the street. It wakes and keeps my child up and scares her. It also disrupts our sleep. All of our neighbors say the same thing, one of the neighbors even being a bartender at seascape and is not happy with it.
Scott apoyó esta petición: Protect Our Peace: Reduce Residential Noise Pollution!🙏Please hear me out ~ Not asking for the concerts to end, but my home, my place of peace, is directly across from this concert venue.
We have had meetings where residents/taxpayers *thought* our concerns were heard, they weren’t.
We have suggested flipping the speakers Gulfside, professional sound barriers (not mounds of dirt), and lowering the bass. You see, inside my entire home-bedroom, you just hear the constant bass, like one of the vehicles with a powerful subwoofer. Paintings have fallen off the wall in my living room. This continues Thursday, Friday, alllll day Saturday, and Sunday-usually during State testing. This fall, we have 6/7 scheduled straight weeks in a row.
I do understand once in a while, but 6/7 continuous reverberating weekends (Thurs-Sunday, daily) is no peace!
Please imagine if you have a sound sensitive child, dog, or you or a loved one has migraine or such (many other issues have been brought up☹️.)
By signing 🙏, you are simply asking for them to address these issues, not stop the concerts. No need to donate- but please help!
