The project was ultimately approved with conditions in October by the Village Planning and Zoning Board\, but this was followed on November 7 with an appeal against the project filed by numerous Brooks community residents. \nView a full chronology of the project here. \nWhile 37 residents filed an appeal\, the Village is recommending that the 5 who live within 500 feet of the proposed development are considered “aggrieved parties” whose appeal can move forward for discussion. In the appeal\, these residents outline their concerns that the proposed development is inconsistent with the area’s comprehensive plan and DRI development order\, as well as other concerns. \nVillage staff\, on the other hand\, recommends that the Zoning and Planning Board’s approval decision is affirmed\, rather than reversing the decision as the appeal requests. \nAgenda is available at https://estero-fl.gov/meetings.
