Lee Elected Officials continue to vote for developers

Why do our Lee Elected Officials continue to vote for developers that plan Residential Planned Developments in Lehigh Acres --- the following link is to the Florida Governmental Utilities Authority website –

in this report it states that Lehigh is over capacity on wastewater removal -- Period ---


Also

See page 69: figure vii-39, shows a low depression where figure V-2 (p 16) shows Lehigh as one of the high spots. The trouble in discussing hydrology is that it is so easy to over generalize--having noted that, given the height of the Acres, you would expect a lot of recharge as a general expectation. The depression means the water that could go to recharge is instead "not recharging." fast forward to figure vii-53 (p 72), and you see a reason why--the canals are taking much of the water away. Hmm, that makes the community more habitable, but without recharge, how long will it stay livable.

But they the Commissioners keep changing the landscape of Lehigh Acres WHY?


On the latest rezoning -- Sunrise Lakes off Homestead Road the Commissioners voted 4-1 for the development -- our own commissioners voted against Lehigh and for the developer (Land Solutions / Development Solutions) WHY?
