About half an hour before the city council meeting was set to begin, Bonita Springs resident Joe Holtzman held a sign that declares, “No more, don’t build four.”

Holtzman, who lives in a high rise in The Colony, said he is “outraged” by WCI Communities plans that could bring four more residential towers to what is now a golf course, known as Raptor Bay.

There were only meant to be a limited number of high rise buildings near Estero Bay, he said, and WCI has shifted that plan because of its interest in short-term profits.

“They are being environmentally irresponsible,” Holtzman said.
