Stop the fill of the Mast Canal

I am adamantly against the idea that a car wash would be allowed to take away marine habitat. We have too many car washes in Cape Coral already. Do we not have an obligation to protect marine life in this beautiful area? Has business development become more important than the feeding and breeding areas that are used by our marine friends?? I OBJECT!!!!!Please protect our marine habitat!

I am opposed to the arbitrary nature in policies of giving permits changing commercial to residential to Commercial 4the Benefit of the developer not in the best interest of the residents and taxpayers of Cape coral.The immediate neighbors have legitimate concerns regarding chemicals being used in a car wash.
The Florida state state collected money for 3 years for special license plates that said save the manatee. But it was in a fund because they didn't know what to do with it. This is something they can do with it save the manatee from poisoning

There is no shortage of car washes in Cape Coral. Manatees are dying in record numbers. Allowing an unnecessary business that could cause further harm to manatees and other marine life is unacceptable. Permits should be denied.Janice Tribble (Cape Coral , 2022-03-07)

I am signing because I fought the canal being filled in once before and thought wine prevailed. There is no need to disrupt marine life any more. A car was is not an essential business. Reopen the one one block awayJohn Torbeck (Cape zciral, 2022-03-09)

I agree with my neighbors and do not want the canal filled in, and another one of many car washes too close to the water.John Hill (Cape Coral, 2022-03-10)

I do not want more destruction of Cape Coral's habitat, canals, over use of land due to a housing crisis. Cape Coral's City council has absolutely NO foresight on City issues. Roads, utilities, water and sewers.We do not need a car wash that wants to fill in canals. No. No. No.

The integrity of Cape Coral’s canal infrastructure is unique and should be preserved or improved upon, not damaged or altered to accommodate a single business…Jason Hite (Cape coral, 2022-03-14)

This is opening a can of worms! You start with filling in this canal then you decide you want to rezone another piece of property and fill in that canal and on it goes! What drew us to Cape Coral in the first place over 20 years ago were the canals not a car wash! There are many commercial lots available for a car wash to be built with out filling in a canal. This is totally unacceptable!!!!Sandra Lynn (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

The City of Cape Coral needs to act in a more ethical and transparent manner.....otherwise VOTE and REPLACE these shady " politicians".Angela Oliver (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

I think it's outrageous to fill in a canal in Cape Coral for a car wash to be built. Not necessary!Susan Demogenes (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

I am opposed to filling in the canal. I live a few blocks away from this location. It will set a very bad precedent. If this is allowed, then it will open the floodgates for companies to fill in canals.Rick Robison (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

I'm an extremely concerned Cape Coral citizen! Enough taking away our water resources for unnecessary developmentWarren Craig Lantz (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

These canals were created to make our city! Why would we fill any canal in for any reason except for an environmental concern.The plot of land is a plot of land. If your business doesn't fit on that plot. Find another plot of land! The fact that the powers to be in city hall let this project get this far is quite alarming.

Please do not allow this canal to be filled in, protect the species that live in it and surely they can find a property to build another car wash that does not need thisAndrew Walton (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

Cape Coral does not need another car wash especially if you are talking about filling in a canal. That isn't fair to the home owners. There is plenty of empty land. Pease go elseware.Patty Trazzera-Greco (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

It is ridiculous to fill in a canal and displace wildlife to build a useless carwash. The city of Cape Coral has to re-think this one.Michael Moore-Kelly (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

A car wash is not a good reason to fill in a canal. What is the city thinking!! What about environmental impact??Donna Jaracz (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

Manatee’s have been mating and giving birth at the end of this canal for several years. We shouldn’t be destroying their habitat for another car wash!Maggi Crouthamel (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

I support the neighbors of this sneaky building of a carwash that obviously is not necessary for the owners of property surrounding the communityMark Lehman (Fort Myers, 2022-03-17)

Wildlife is already severely impacted by humans. There is no need to engage in wildlife destruction so willingly. We all must be responsible to prevent unnecessary acts. There are more than enough businesses of this type. This is unnecessary at its highest level.Shelley Murphy (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)
#115
You’re taking away the natural habitat of many animals who have resided there for multiple years. Cape Coral is known for its protection of wildlife. You’re also taking away the beauty of the homes on the canal not to mention the investment owners have made….and the value in their homes.Nancy Baranowski-Smith (Cape Coral, 2022-03-17)

#125
I'm signing this petition, because 1)the zoning was changed without the resident's knowledge, 2) the destruction of habitat for manatees and dolphins, and 3) the environmental impact of dangerous chemicals that could spill into the canal and the Calossahatchee River.Linda Stubbs (Fort Myers, 2022-03-18)
#128
We definitely don't need another car wash! Mostly in a location that was zoned for a professional building only. Also, they want to fill the end of the canal which is a danger to the ecology, the river and the wildlife.Gail Anderson (CAPE CORAL, 2022-03-18)

These chemicals are harmful to our environment and wildlife!Dawn Uncapher (Cape Coral, 2022-03-18)

We don't need another car wash. Storm water run off will be going into the canal. Tommy's is a Franchise car wash outfit. I contacted them and told them I will never go to their car wash. It is not a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I will continue to use Downtowner. I have seen their car wash building in other cities. Looks like a piece of crapNyla Deputy (CAPE CORAL, 2022-03-18)

Filling in a canal for another car wash in Cape Coral is unacceptable.The mayor said he wanted (at the public meeting last week) Cape Coral to have smart growth, not just growth for the sake of growth. This is where he and all of council can support the tax payers' wishes and demonstrate that his comments are sincere.
Catherine Geraats (Cape Coral, 2022-03-18)

At some point the environment has to be given priority over the $$$$. There are many carwashes in town, and many other locations in town to build one. If it was being built on land that was home to turtles or owls the city would be against it. Please save the environment, every little bit helpsBrian Myers (Cape Coral, 2022-03-18)
#145
This is ridiculous, we have plenty of car washes and more land to build them if someone feels it's absolutely necessary. Why disrupt the canal, it's wildlife and the neighbors, it's absurd.Kim Pollock (Cape Coral, 2022-03-18)

We have enough car washes available in the Cape and do not need another if it means destroying the environment and animals around it.This will not only hurt the water, animals, water creatures but also the homes nearby.
This is absolutely not necessary and I stand against it.

#172
I am signing because I believe the canal should be left alone. There is no reason the car wash HAS to go in this particular area. There are TONS of empty lots in Cape Coral. Just look around. Leave the wildlife alone, they have done nothing to you to mess with their habitat. If you MUST put in a NEW car wash in Cape Coral, find a new location! Also, no one who lives on this canal wants to be near or have to deal with any construction. There is already WAY too much going on in Cape Coral.Ashley White (Cape Coral, 2022-03-18)

I’m signing because the sanctity of the canal value outweighs another car wash.In other words, the canal is necessary while a car wash business is not.

It is absurd to even consider filling in one of our channels! There is so much land available in our area, and way to many car washes! But, I don’t object solely because of car wash- I would object if nothing was even being built there!Sandra Dolgas (Cape Coral, FL, 2022-03-19)
