1' S ATTORNEY O'NEILL APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION OF THE COMPLAINT OF HIS CLIENT, JESSE WASHBURN, IN REGARD TO A ZONING VIOLATION BY LOIS CRUZE, OWNER OF GOLF ACRES NURSERY, HE REPORTED THAT MRS. CRUZE HAS DONE A GREAT DEAL IN REMOVING MANY OF THE APPARENT VIOLATIONS, BUT THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS THAT SHE MAY BE CONTINUING TO IMPORT PLANTS TO SELL ON THE PREMISES. ATTORNEY O'NEILL STATED THAT IF THEY CAN AGREE THAT THIS WON'T BE DONE; HE FELT IT WOULD SOLVE THE MATTER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT QUESTIONED MRS. CRUZE FURTHER ABOUT THE STATUS OF CLEARING UP THE VIOLATIONS, NOTING THAT IN ATTORNEY O'NEILL'S LETTER OF .JANUARY 30, 1978, HE LISTED MANY THINGS THAT HAD NOT BEEN DONE. MRS, CRUZE STATED THAT SINCE THAT TIME, MOST OF THE THINGS LISTED HAVE BEEN CORRECTED: THE PLANTS HAVE BEEN MOVED OFF THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND SHE NOW KEEPS THE FERTILIZER IN AN ENCLOSED BARN. ATTORNEY SULLIVAN INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MRS. CRUZE HAS DONE ALL SHE IS GOING TO DO, AND IF THE COUNTY FEELS SHE IS DOING SOMETHING ILLEGALLY, THEN THEY SHOULD TAKE ACTION ON IT. HE POINTED OUT THAT MRS. CRUZE RAISES 70% OF THE PLANTS SHE SELLS AND ONLY IMPORTS ABOUT 30%,1 AND THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT MR. WASHBURN HAS BLOCKED OFF ANY INGRESS TO HIS HOME EXCEPT ACROSS THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT PROPERTY. ATTORNEY SULLIVAN CONTINUED THAT OUT OF 38 PEOPLE IN THIS AREA, THERE ARE ONLY TWO WHO OBJECT, ONE OF THEM BEING MR, WASHBURN, AND THE REST OF THEM FEEL THE NURSERY IS AN ASSET TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, HE THEN SUBMITTED A STATEMENT TAKEN FROM 38 RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS HEREBY MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES.. 24 FEB2 2 19 78 goon 34 FADE '�
