Tom Spaulding, 7890 1291'' Place, commended the Task Force for their good intentions but <br />felt that the majority of Roseland residents do not want the Plans adopted for a number of reasons <br />and stated that most of the responses to staffs survey were negative. <br />Chairman Macht questioned the survey mentioned, and Director Keating gave a brief <br />explanation of the content of the survey and did not feel that a majority of the residents responded <br />negatively. <br />Long Range and Economic Planner Randy Deshazo stated that most of the responses to the <br />survey favored new regulations for new residential and commercial development but did not favor <br />paying for potable water, roads and sewer lines. <br />Robert Dillard, 7875 1301'' Street, felt the Plans would take more and more freedom away <br />from the residents and would result in gated communities with more and more regulations and fees <br />such as those now charged for use of the Sebastian Inlet park. <br />Chairman Macht referenced a document from the County deeding the Sebastian Inlet to the <br />State that said that no Indian River County resident would be charged a fee for use of the property <br />and asked County Attorney Will Collins if he recalled the document. <br />County Attorney Collins recalled that in the late 1980s the State said improvements needed <br />to be made and that restriction was lifted with the proviso that any fees received be used for the Inlet <br />Park. There are some benefits to residents of the County and the Inlet sends a report every year <br />regarding those funds. <br />Donald Morgan, 7850 1291'' Street, believed that staffs survey with residents' responses <br />should be presented to the Commissioners so they could see the negative responses. The residents <br />of Roseland do not want "big government"; they are an independent community and do not want <br />changes. <br />MAY 20, 2003 15 <br />
