Will we be drinking toilet water too ? Is there enough potable water for the amount of development the new SOLV plan allows? Clearwater has plans for residents to drink filtered sewer water (yes TOILET TO TAP). Another overdeveloped area Miami - Dade is considering the same. Will we be next ? YUCK !

We are a group of concerned residents of St. Pete Beach, regular people without special interests. Our goal is to have the right to vote on the way our Beach community is redeveloped.

Citizens for Responsible Growth formed in response to the extreme changes Mayor Frizlowski, city manager Bonfield and Commissioners of St. Pete Beach made to the Master plan for redevelopment after the public workshop process.

St. Pete Beach city government began voting and approving this new plan for our city, ignoring much of the extensive community involvement and input.

Commission meetings became a process in which residents were disregarded and their questions remained unanswered.

Citizens needed a way to alert the community at large about the changes and Citizens For Responsible Growth was formed.

We began a petitioning process allowed under our city charter and rather than respond in a positive way to resolve differences within our community the city government under the advice of attorney Driscoll decided to sue us as an organization then sued private citizens, your neighbors, for collecting signatures.

We continue to this day to defend ourselves in court. And Insist on the right to vote.

Citizens for Responsible Growth continues to stand for:

  1. Responsible development
  2. Infrastructure studies on water, sewer, traffic, emergency access and evacuation
  3. Require developers to pay for the impact of their projects on our infrastructure
  4. Tourism that does not overwhelm the residents

Right of citizens to vote on the future of our city

Resident's Rallying


According to an article in the St. Petersburg Times opponents of allowing Floridians the right to vote on how their community will be developed are predicting they will spend 65 MILLION dollars - YES 65 million dollars to stop an iniative called Hometown Democracy. We live in a democracy and that means everyone is entitled to express their view … BUT in our opinion you should not try to trick the people to sign your petition; Floridians For Smarter Growth has designed petitions in a deliberate way to look like the grassroots Hometown Democracy petitions. A bait and switch game to lure signers?
