What’s with the funny numbers?

The community I live in had a meeting last night again with regards to the Lennar Homes and the Land Use change.

One of the questions that came up is the numbers that are suppose to projected. Our school is over crowded and then the person on the planning board pulled out some papers that Lennar had sent to them and it stated that our school is not at full capacity. I told the lady who are they kidding. My daughter goes to the school and its at almost 1200 students. There is a new school that was built about a mile away that is not zoned for the new school. So tell me how they think its not overcrowded? We had to hire 5 new teachers this past year because we had so many more students.

Then what about the increase in traffic? They only talked about the main streets Soughtgate, Pine Island and University. What about all the small roads that go into al the communities. How many cars are going to be coming in and out. How can they not think about that?

Of course what are the Politicians thinking about? How much money they can make, they are seeing the building fees, which will bring in about 1.3 million dollars. Then they are counting on the property taxes that is projected to bring in $390,000 annually. But what is to say they sell all the 255 homes they plan on building?

Call me crazy but I think this is nuts and not going to have it. The commission meeting is next week and I plan on attending. Will you be there?
