SOME OBSERVATIONS:
- 1. OUR SLIM 4-3 VICTORY AT THE 2023 PLANNING BOARD HEARING WAS A RESULT OF MOTION WORDING ONLY. HAD "INCONSISTENT AS A WHOLE" BEEN REPLACED WITH SIMPLY "INCONSISTENT" WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE VOTE WOULD HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY IN OUR FAVOR.
- 2. THE FOLLOW UP LETTER TO THE COMMISSION INDICATES THAT THE CITY IS NOT INTIMIDATED BY THREATS OF A LAWSUIT - NUMEROUS FAILURES TO MEET CITY REQUIREMENTS ARE DETAILED.
- 3.LLC CALLED OFF JUNE COMMISION HEARING & WENT NUCLEAR (1998) RESIDENCES PER LL ACT
- 4. SWL IS COMMITED TO PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PD DOCUMENT, THE BEST PROTECTION OF RESIDENTS INTERESTS - WE WILL NOT GIVE UP - THAT IS WHY SWL IS INTERVENOR SUPPORTING PLANT CITY IN LL ACT LAWSUIT
- 5. PASSAGE OF LL ACT AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE PDs (HB943) WOULD BE DISASTROUS - RESIDENTS OF WALDEN LAKE MUST FIGHT BACK VIGOROUSLY
- 6.PASSAGE OF AN AMENDMENT EXEMPTING GOLF COURSES (SB1730) SHOULD BE SUPPORTED.
- 7. SAVE WALDEN LAKE, INC. NEEDS YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE NEXT SHOWDOWN
- 8. WATCH YouTube VIDEOS WALDEN LAKE PIVOT PART 1 DECLINE (AUGUST '23) AND PART 2 - RECOVERY (SEPTEMBER '23 & WALDEN LAKE CRISIS (APRIL 2025).
WLLLC'S PROPOSED PLANS MUST BE DEFEATED; YOUR PROPERTY VALUES WILL BE PROTECTED BY:
1. SAVE WALDEN LAKE INTERVENOR
2. WLCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
3. WLCA MEMBER SUPPORT
OVER 600 RESIDENT HOUSEHOLDS HAVE SIGNED OUR PETITION TO THE CITY
We the undersigned residents of Walden Lake are opposed to City approval of WL-LLC’s rezoning application - a design that threatens our community with foreseeable devastating impacts during all phases of development. We bought houses in a thoughtfully-planned community with implied rights to greenspace, privacy, and other mature-neighborhood metrics. We have lost Country Club amenities, and there is little we can do about that at this time. We can, however, defend our quality of life and home values by opposing WL-LLC’s residential-infill development plans. Our implied-rights trump their opportunistic gamble- this rezoning must be rejected by the City of Plant City.
PROTEST PETITION EFFORTS AGAINST WLLLC DEVELOPMENT CONTINUE
VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT THE EFFORT & SPREAD THE WORD
Help is needed in all areas
