GPICA holds public hearing on preserve project
By PAULETTE LeBLANC - | May 12, 2021
The Greater Pine Island Civic Association held a public hearing on an application for a project called Pine Island Preserve and Matlacha Pass.
During its monthly Zoom meeting Monday, May 3, the GPICA discussed the rezoning and special exception application request for the project that calls for a boardwalk, kayak launch and small parking lot in St. James City.
TDM Consulting Senior planner, Veronica Martin and Tom Odom of Mitigation Resources, spoke on the behalf of the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast.
“We know this project is controversial,” said GPICA president Helen Fox. “We know you’ll have a lot of questions, so I want to make sure we all listen carefully and respectfully to the presenters without interruption, and that the questions we ask at the end of their talk are informational rather than confrontational.”
