<br /> <br />David Cox <br /> wanted the Board to be aware that all tributaries that reach the South prong of <br />the St. Sebastian River have been important in supporting a range of threatened and endangered <br />fish species that have bred that far up, even into agricultural ditches. They have worked with one <br />of the developer nearby in an effort to try to preserve those tributaries, which all have great <br />environmental significance, and it seems they are losing one after the other. <br /> <br />Dr. Richard Baker <br />, President of the Audubon Society, agreed with Mr. Cox, and he stated <br />this is not the direction to take. He remarked that the more density that is put in, the more difficult <br />it becomes. He commented that he would like to see us protect the Sebastian Tributary and going <br />this route is not the way to do it. <br /> <br />Bruce Barkett <br />, Esq., representing the applicant, said they do not have any problem with <br />the site plan concerns that were raised. He told the Board his client was going to go forward with <br />the PD against his recommendation. <br /> <br />th <br />Mark Brackett, 1915 34 Avenue, <br /> represented the CR 510 group, that is the Blue Water <br />Bay development at the southern portion of this property told the Board the Group is not opposed <br />to rezoning the property to RS-3. “They would like to see the Board move forward with the <br />rezoning, and see the roads get built,” he related. <br /> <br />There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowden, to deny this request. <br /> <br />October 24, 2006 <br />40 <br /> <br /> <br />
