Big decisions may be determined regarding Clam Bay, the body of water one might describe as the inter-coastal shared between Pelican Bay and Seagate:

Clam Bay

While Pelican Bay has been a huge advocate for protecting and preserving the natural sanctuary of Clam Bay and touting tranquil kayaking and canoeing to their members as part of the membership amenities offered through Pelican Bay, the neighboring community, Seagate, has different interests...which are pretty easy to understand after taking a closer look:

Seagate

Seagate is home to nearly 80 home-sites offering waterfront but really no navigability to the Gulf of Mexico...BUT...

If Seagate gets their wish on Tuesday, not only will those new navigational markers go up but they are also crossing fingers for dredging a four foot deep channel in Outer Clam Bay which could open those waters up and allow those properties to appreciate almost over night since they'll then be able to market and sell those homes as true Gulf access properties. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing either considering some of the homes in this little area need some attention.

Clam Pass

Seagate isn't the only neighborhood who could benefit.  8 condo and villa communities in Naples Cay may also see some benefit.  Those are:

I could be all wrong here but what County Commissioner is going to turn down a project that is going to ultimately bring more tax dollars to the table?  We all know when property values go up, taxable dollars go up and in a county where they're trying to creatively figure out how to meet budget demands...

Shannon,I guess I am on the fence with this one,as I hate change...I remember when Immokalee Rd was all trees and a pleasure to drive down and now look at it...wall to wall businesses and traffic...so I guess I would be on the side of preserving Clam Bay.

Rick,  I'm against uncontrolled change.  I never got to see Immokalee Rd when it was all trees but there's no doubt they could've done a better job developing Immokalee Rd. the way they did.  Of course it could've been much worse as well.  As far as the development of Clam Bay is concerned, I don't think we'll ever see more property there. This whole thing isn't an invitation or an opportunity to see more residential construction.  We will see more boat dock construction in the Sea Gate neighborhood area and I do believe it would be a great opportunity for some of Sea Gate to clean up and be the luxury neighborhood it "could" be. Even if they dredge Clam Pass, I don't think it will be easy to travel North to Inner Clam Bay leaving the Pelican Bay area the same as it ever was. :) So no worries my friend either way the vote goes, I think we'll be just fine. :)

Shannon: Naples has a very strong reputation to preserve nature as much as possible..so I am for it. As long as they don't put anything over 3 stories...I think that if it passes we will be okay. I just don't want to many high rises one next to the other. Its Fugly. Naples is gorgeous so lets keep it this way..

Lloyd,  As real estate agents we're taught to never say never to future development but in this scenario, The estuary is preserved and I really don't think any more residential or commercial for that matter can be developed in the area... :) I agree with you a high-rise chain is really ugly! :)  Thanks for commenting! :)
