Don’t Be Fooled

Don’t be fooled by the developer’s (Sayed Moukhtara) offer to give Alachua County 37 acres for a park which, in fact, is three retention ponds and a narrow trail around the perimeter of the property.  He proposes Alachua County will program, improve and maintain the park, which could cost the County $30,000 a year for just maintaining the retention ponds.  Is the County really going to accept this generous offer? 

The traffic from the 140 new homes would empty out onto Newberry Road.  The proposal shows one exit goes through the narrow street in Tara West End, are the resident’s going to allow traffic from 140 homes go through their property?

Mr. Moukhtara’s plan would not have a place for a playground, a dog park, a driving range, putting green, club house bar/grill, after school/senior center or any of the recreational activities that the communities in the west end are asking for.  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Westendcare

Get Involved.  Stay the Course!!

In the new proposed plan for the development of West End Golf Course, the “generous” 37 acres carved out as green space consists primarily of retention ponds.

Many residents of Alachua County believe that a park within walking distance would improve their quality of life dramatically.
