Bob Ashcroft, 6283 North Mirror Lake Drive, voiced his concerns about pollution <br />and negative impact on property values. <br />Todd Smith, Engineer for Ocean Concrete, refuted some of the remarks made <br />earlier by private citizens, that had been directed against Ocean Concrete. Mr. Smith agreed with <br />Attorney Smith that the proposed amendment would not really provide a solution for keeping <br />industrial zoning away from residential areas. <br />Vice Chair Bowden wondered how many parcels Ocean Concrete would have to <br />acquire to provide right-of-way on the current one-way road. Public Works Director Jim Davis <br />presented the particulars of the right-of-way and mentioned that he had approached property <br />owners regarding their willingness to donate right -of way land to the County, and there had not <br />been a consensus. <br />Further discussion ensued among Vice Chair Bowden, Attorney Collins, and Mr. <br />Smith about the size requirements and proper placement for the right-of-way. Ideas were offered <br />regarding the feasibility of utilizing a southern route, which did not seem to require any <br />right-of-way acquisition from property owners. <br />Richard Marco, 6522 River Run Drive, urged the Board to protect citizens from <br />heavy industry by passing the proposed amendment. He opined that if any grandfathering -in was <br />done, it should be on the behalf of the residences that were there prior to heavy industry. <br />Joseph Paladin, Chairman, Growth Awareness Committee, 6450 Tropical Way, <br />supported staff on the proposed ordinance. His questions about the permitting process and the <br />right -of -way were answered by Director Boling and Attorney Collins. <br />July 24, 2007 29 <br />
