Fruitville 210 Community Alliance is a Non-Profit Corporation under the Florida Department of State. (2/07)

We are in the process of organizing an inclusive alliance for the neighborhoods within

the Richardson and Fruitville Road residential corridor. Our intent is to have voting representatives (preferably board members and key residents) from the following 27

F210 neighborhoods:

We realize that growth and development means progress and prosperity.

But, we must do it sensibly. No single neighborhood within the Fruitville Road community

is immune from the negative consequences of “out-of-control” development. Each neighborhood is important and should have a voice about what takes place in their own backyard. The quality of life within our community depends upon our commitment and personal involvement on the development issues that will affect ALL of our neighborhoods.

Some crucial issues to be discussed include:

* Continued construction & development of the Honore/Cattleman Rd north/south corridors.

* The construction of sidewalks and round-a-bouts (to control traffic) on Richardson Road.

* The construction of the Silver Palms residential neighborhood.

* The construction of the Restoration Fellowship education building.

* Massive, big box construction projects. (i.e. the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter

adjacent to the Sarasota Crossings Shopping Plaza & Lowe’s—both on Fruitville Rd)

NOTE: We are not about forming an Association to impose rules, regulations,

controls or fines on home or property owners.

Alliance: a bond or connection between families, parties, or individuals to further the

common interests of the members; union by relationship in qualities.

Welcome to the website for Twenty plus of our neighborhoods, at I-75 Exit 210

and Fruitville Road, that have come together to form a neighborhood alliance.

The Fruitville 210 Community Alliance is a true “grassroots” multi-neighborhood

organization. We are coming together and looking for equitable solutions to the

complex development issues that are now facing our local communities. We are

NOT anti-growth, anti-capitalist, or anti-American. We want everybody to prosper

citizens, elected officials, and developers. Only by communicating, compromising,

and working together, will interested parties be able to enjoy all the benefits that this

great Country has to offer. In order to maintain or improve our “quality of life”, we,

the people (home-owners and taxpayers), must have a voice in the development

process. Without a voice, we might be faced with unwanted or unsustainable growth

- the type of development that places even more congestive traffic on our local streets

and compromises public safety. We believe that our elected officials and the land developers who seek to build in our own back-yards can be our partners in that quest. Someone once said, “The biggest danger to a democracy is apathy by the people.”

I encourage everyone in the Fruitville 210 Community Alliance neighborhoods to participate. It is our civic duty and right. We too can have a legacy.

Thank you for your valuable support.

Sincerely, John Krotec - Past Chair, Fruitville 210 Community Alliance
