Don’t let builders destroy our community

We are all relieved that Hurricane Irma didn’t directly hit our beloved community. It could have been a lot worse, and we all are saddened for those that were not so lucky. So why then do we allow people to destroy our beautiful community and break the laws that are in place to protect it? I am talking about Aqua on the Bay. If this gets voted in, a beautiful piece of our community will be destroyed along with the environment around it. How do we stop this from happening? We have all sent letters, yet it is still uncertain how the vote will go. HELP.
