Some want it here. Some want it there.

Some don't want it anywhere.

So say the more than 750 residents who sent comments to the Florida Turnpike Enterprise after a November open house on the proposed Suncoast Parkway 2 project through Citrus County.

About 30 percent of the comments were critical of particular routes, such as those that go through Sugarmill Woods or near the Lecanto communities of Crystal Glen and Crystal Oaks.

More than 40 percent of the respondents flatly oppose any parkway construction. About 18 percent showed strong support of the parkway regardless of where it's built.

Carl Gibilaro, project manager, said all comments will be taken into consideration as the study on whether to build the parkway continues. A decision isn't expected until June 2005.

Gibilaro said he isn't surprised a large number voiced support for the no-build option. However, he said the comments are not considered statistically valid any more than if 40 percent said they favored the toll road.

"Basically it's a snapshot of people who took part in the meeting that night," he said.

Here is a snapshot of those comments:

About 10 percent opposed what's known as the S-1 route that divides the eastern one-third of Sugarmill Woods. Everyone who commented in this category lives in Sugarmill Woods, and most were angry the route was being considered at all.

"People want to move a highway too close to Sugarmill Woods," Helen Ingerick said. "If so many leave, who will pay the high taxes? Surely not the tortoises or environmentalists."

Many, such as Carl T. Hortzell, noted Sugarmill shouldn't suffer because the state may want to avoid environmental areas to the east.

"I'm getting ... sick and tired of decisions being made first on how the decision will affect the territorial home of the snail darter; the kangaroo rat, the gopher turtle, spotted owls, but never how it affects the Homo sapiens," he wrote.

Many residents who opposed S-1 and another Sugarmill route known as S-2 said they supported the parkway.

George and Sue Trimmer put it like this: "Suncoast Parkway 2 -- Yes. S-1 through Sugarmill Woods -- No."

Residents elsewhere pointed to potential routes either plowing through their communities or coming too close.

A form letter signed by 55 Crystal Glen residents said the small community off State Road 44 and County Road 490 would be lost.

"There would be no way for anyone to be aware that the community exists," the letter said. "Cutting the development off from the community will have an adverse effect on our property taxes. If by chance someone were to find their way into the development, it is unlikely that they would want to buy or build in such an isolated community."

One resident of that community, Alice Ashley, said she didn't want Crystal Glen to get lost in the influence of Sugarmill Woods.

"Our community, Crystal Glen, is small compared to the other communities whose names are frequently mentioned in news reports," she said. "However, our homes are just as important to us as those of larger communities."

Residents at the far north end of the proposed parkway in the Crystal Manor community said they are worried about traffic.

"Have your engineers determine another ending for the parkway along the some seven miles of undeveloped roadside between Crystal Manor and Crystal River," William Watts wrote.

Even parkway proponents urged the Turnpike Enterprise to look elsewhere.

Inverness attorney Jim Neal, representing Crystal River Quarries Inc., said the state can't afford to build one of the proposed routes east of C.R. 491 through a mine.

"The Crystal River quarries Inc. property would be much too expensive to condemn due to the existing pits, the value of rock reserves an the county's mining setbacks on remaining property," Neal wrote.

Representatives with the Central Florida Community College Foundation opposed a route that cuts through vacant CFCC property.

Thomas and Janet Mize of Beverly Hills said those issues can be avoided if the parkway heads farther east.

"I don't have a problem with having a tollway, but it should not impact the environment the way the route is now," the Mizes wrote. "It should come up on the east side of 491 and go between Citrus Hills and Inverness and continue north to U.S. 41."

Bill Williams, who lives in Homosassa, also discouraged planners from moving the parkway away from Sugarmill Woods while not giving the same courtesy to other residents.

"Why are they better than anyone else?" Williams said. "No one wants to be impacted by this road."
