There are, and will be more costs created by the Wekiva Island commercial venue; both financial and environmental. This amounts to privatizing profit and socializing the costs and habitat losses.

Additionally, the evening and weekend traffic and parking problems have reduced the desirability of the homes located on and off Miami Springs Road. On weeknights when there is no police presence, cars speed down Miami Springs road to the Wekiva Island commercial business creating an unsafe condition for area children, residents walking pets and residents trying to turn on and off Miami Springs Road. In addition, the Miami Springs Road and Wekiva Springs Road intersection has become less safe and congested on weekends due to extra traffic and Wekiva Marina bar-goers making U-turns creeping about looking for legal places to park. Frequently they park in business, consuming parking spaces paid for by other businesses for their customers. This constitutes a theft of services.

I strongly oppose any plans to expand the Wekiva Island commercial venue..

I was 10 years old and grew up swimming, playing and canoeing on the river with my friends and family. It was and will always be a very special place for me. The peace and serenity, the feeling of being one with nature. It's hard to find these days. But I have always found it on the Wekiva. I have always appreciated the simple, rustic simplicity of the "Old Florida" style Wekiva Marina. We rented canoes, ate catfish and drank sweet tea at the restaurant...it was quiet and peaceful. But this is no longer the case. The Wekiva Island has brought late night parties, traffic, drunks and loud music to a place that used to be my personal sanctuary. The owners have turned the Wekiva Marina into a zoo. I have personally witnessed a huge increase in traffic along Wekiva Springs Road on weekends. And on Miami Springs drive, there are a crazy amount of cars racing in and out all day long. On days when they are above capacity, cars just keep on coming, back and forth up and down the road until they can finally go in. We, the long-time residents of Sweetwater Oaks want you to PLEASE STOP THE GROWTH. LEAVE THE WEKIVA MARINA ALONE!

We have enough traffic as is, regardless of how well they have tried to manage it (and I know they have done that), there is always, every day people speeding up/down the road.

In front of our house, across from Sweetwater Springs, it has become the Uber pick up spot. People constantly park there waiting.

Probably just a NWO thing, but tossing trash out doesn't make Wekiva Island and Miami Springs Dr beautiful & green.

Parking is already a problem at Wek Isl, that's why they want to use the residential street. Their own website says they have 2000 square feet of space for customers. Party planners say that amount of space for a standing room only cocktail party can fit about 400 people; no sitting or dancing. The whole idea of expansion is absurd and the cynic in me says the overreaching request is to make the real goal of getting permission to build a restaurant seem reasonable. Wek Isl is big enough and successful enough as is, period.

All of the items they are requesting would be very disruptive to the entire community. Today people that go to Wekiva Island create disturbing noise, throw garbage, use very disturbing language and race their vehicles up & down Miami Springs road. It just a matter of time when someone will be injured. The women are half naked walking down Miami Springs road. We live in a bedroom community with a lot of young children. It is not unusual for them to witness these activities daily. The owners of Wekiva Island have no concern over our concerns. They should live in our neighborhood & experience this for their grandchildren to hear & see. Also, the integrity of the river & wild life is at stake. Parking on Miami Spring road has also created traffic congestion without the expansion.
