Check out this letter to the editor of the Daytona Beach News-Journal : Think twice about plans My husband and I recently moved to Palm Coast. One reason we selected this area is for beauty of the untouched beaches, the peace, quiet and relaxation that everyone enjoys. I now understand that Salamander Hospitality Group wants to replace the current 20-room golf lodge in Hammock Beach with a 198-room hotel and conference center. We believe this project would destroy the tranquility and beauty of this area. There will be crowds, traffic and litter, not to mention the negative impact to fragile marine environments and nesting turtles. We have to stop letting big developers control us by coming in and destroying all that is beautiful and simple in this world. If some people want a luxury hotel in their backyards, those places are available all over Florida’s coasts and they are free to relocate to such an area. We need to think of the greater good, and not the developers whose only interest is making money I do not want future generations to think we were selfish and just kept overdeveloping our beautiful lands. I want them to be thankful for people who took the time to preserve them. Our children and grandchildren deserve to enjoy this lovely area the way it is now. If one hotel goes in, there will be more to follow and the area will slowly be destroyed. We need to stand together and save our beautiful beaches! I encourage those opposed to this hotel to attend the Board of County Commissioners meeting when the project is considered. Rosanne Ilardo Palm Coast
