I am pro economics, but also pro-environment!!!! I thought this commission didn’t believe in over development but then the past 8 years, my opponent has stood by and approved special exemptions to approve more new development. 

I believe in smart growth that is sustainable! These projects that have been built don’t have the necessary infrastructure currently, and all the new development is taking a toll on our resources. 

We need a VISION – a plan, and not just let ANY development. There only a few key pieces of land left in this city; Now i understand private property rights, but there is a great way, a good way and a bad way to do things… And I strongly believe that each development recently has not been impressive; such as the buffer by the townhomes and the new Aldi/Crunch development. 

Winter Springs is a good place to live!  We have an ideal location close to everything, two international airports on either side of us, a world class university on our doorstep and some excellent local parks and schools. But we can do better!

Here is my vision for the future of Winter Springs:

• NO MORE APARTMENTS AND STORAGE FACILITIES 
• NO ZONING CHANGES
• FOCUS ON THE AESTHETIC APPEARANCE OF THE BUILDINGS 
• HIRE A QUALIFIED PLANNER FOR THE CITY 
• WORK CLOSELY WITH THE WINTER SPRINGS BUILDING/PLANNING DEPARTMENT – AND KEEP THE RESIDENTS INFORMED ON PLANS! 
• ENHANCE THE OVERALLL DESIRABILITY TO KEEP THIS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND RAISE A FAMILY!
