An informal polling of people at our monthly neighborhood pot luck (in a neighborhood within close proximity of both proposed new developments) found:

- 60%+ not thrilled (most concerned about losing the peace & quite the enjoy up here, with the local Publix becoming Colony Publix part 2 and dumping hundreds of additional golf carts on Clearview / Calumet Ave, which is how the new neighborhood to the west will access existing TV)

- 30% VERY unhappy (see above reasons .... just feel stronger about it)

- 10% welcome new potential development with open arms

The developer owns the land, the land is vacant and he wants to develop it. If the county says OK then people may not like it but that's what he's going to do period. The super market is crowded which one isn't will another chain come in maybe. Rumor has it another Publix is going down on Rt.44 to help with the crowding on the south side. If you think buildout is done, I sure don't think so. There's to much land around and IF the demand continues so will the building. We may not all like it but I'll bet VERY few will leave because of it.

I understand and even sympathize with your concerns. But that is no where near the congestion and crowding we live with every day in the St Charles/St James area and south of that. The parking lot at Colony is crowded at Publix just about 24/7. The 300 houses and golf carts aren't going to affect your area nearly that much.

How about buying and building here in 2004....population 35,000....nothing South of 466 on either Buena Vista or Morse.

Now.....105,000.....

And during that time TV has only gotten better and better.

Relax and continue enjoying the lifestyle you have had here all along.....300 homes or 600 people (if they stay year around) is not gonna steal anybody's peace and quiet.

Just wondering if you live in the area in question? Many of us do and yes with Buena Vista as the one main though street and only one Publix which is crowded now if they are full time yes it will affect us. I understand progress. That said this is a long established area and when "planned" was not "planned" for 300 more homes and the potential for 500-600 more people. But this of course is just the opinion of someone who has lived in that area for going on 13 years now.
