mor 41 ASSUMPTION THAT THEIR NEIGHBORS WILL NOT BE NEEDING MORE IN THE FUTURE. THIS AREA IS VERY NEAR TIDE WATER, THE FRONT IS COMMERCIAL AND AS YEARS GO BY, THIS WILL DEVELOP AND PUT A HEAVY DEMAND ON THE WATER. WITH A HIGH DENSITY TO THE EAST, MR. BIDLINGMAYER FELT YOU WILL BE FORCING FUTURE COUNTY COMMISSIONS TO LOOK INTO SALT WATER INFILTRATION PROBLEMS SUCH AS ENCOUNTERED IN THE SOUTH OF THE STATE. HE CONTINUED THAT THE ZONING OF VISTA ROYALE IS ACTUALLY ONLY ABOUT 5-6 UNITS PER ACRE AND THE PROPOSED ONE IS FOR 12 UNITS. HE FELT SUCH A ZONING WOULD SET A PRECE— DENT AND BELIEVED THIS WOULD BE THE HIGHEST DENSITY SOUTH OF THE CITY DOWN TO THE COUNTY LINE. DR. KALE POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS R -IA ZONING EXISTING BETWEEN THE REQUESTED ZONING AND VISTA ROYALE. SAMUEL BREELAND, DIRECTOR OF THE FLORIDA MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGICAL LABORATORY, INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT THIS LAB WAS PLACED IN ITS PARTICULAR LOCATION FOR VERY DEFINITE REASONS, MR, BREELAND POINTED OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BASE LINE DATA ACCUMULATED IN THE NATURAL HAMMOCK AND THE GROUNDS NEIGHBORING THE LABORATORY, WHICH IS APPLICABLE TO THE WHOLE STATE OF FLORIDA AND IS IMPORTANT TO TOURISM AND THE GROWTH OF THE STATE, MR. BREELAND DISCUSSED THE PREVENTION OF MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASES, AND THE BASIC RESEARCH THEY DO AT THE LAB. HE NOTED THAT THE IMPACT OF HIGH DENSITY IS WHAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SINCE THEY HAVE TO COMPARE ALL THEIR DATA TO THAT ACCUMULATED OVER THE PREVIOUS TIME, AND A CHANGE IN CONDITIONS WOULD MAKE THIS DATA WORTHLESS. HE CONTINUED THAT THIS IS A RESOURCE THAT BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA AS WELL AS THE COUNTY, CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF, IN THEIR RESEARCH, THEY ARE USING AREAS WITHIN THE AREA PROPOSED FOR REZONING. MR, BREELAND FELT THEY ARE NOT WORKING WITHIN THAT SPECIFIC AREA SINCE THEY HAVE 36 ACRES, BUT THE SURROUNDING AREAS AFFECT THEIR ACREAGE. HE DISCUSSED WORKING WITH A MOSQUITO LIGHT TRAP AND POINTED OUT THAT THE LIGHTS GENERATED BY HIGH DENSITY COULD MAKE THEIR DATA MEANING— LESS. COMMISSIONER LYONS INQUIRED ABOUT THE LABORATORY POSSIBLY ACQUIRING MORE PROPERTY THERE.
