Robert Kirrie, 12706 791h Avenue, was opposed to the adoption of the Plans. He believed that at the February 251'' meeting, it was apparent that the majority of the people do not want these changes. He felt that the Task Force members think they are code enforcement officers and believe that they are representing the majority of the residents of Roseland, which is not true. He believed the County is doing just fine "as is" and asked that the Plans be rejected. Fred Mensing, 7580 1291h Street, Sebastian, felt the Plans should be shredded and believed that the residential part of Roseland has been destroyed because of inaction on the part of the County. Roseland is a place and state of mind and he did not want things changed from the way they have been since he was a small child. James Applegate, 14445 801h Avenue, felt the Plans do not address the most important factors which include landscaping on existing commercial plots. Director Keating stated that staff has no authority to ask the commercial properties to add landscaping if they are already "grandfathered" in. Rayburn Anderson, 12925 Old Dixie Highway, stated that he owns the bowling center and does not want ill feelings with the residents in the area but the homes surrounding the bowling center were built long after the center was already there. Rich Stringer, City of Sebastian Attorney, expressed his frustrations that the City of Sebastian was not included in the meetings dealing with these Plans. He noted that compatibility is in the eye of the beholder and asked the Board for a presentation to the City Council before adopting these Plans to allow for discussion. Joe Barczyk, Sebastian City Councilman, felt there are some good points in the Plans but also expressed his frustration over not being included in the discussions. The City of Sebastian has no intention to annex Roseland but would appreciate being included in the decisions to be made. MAY 20, 2003 14
