Ff.C.C.A. Treasure Coast Condominium Associa.ion P.O. Box 1735 VERO BEACH CHAPTER Vero Beach. Florida 32960 May 22, 1981 Mr. Pat Lyons, Chairman ' Indian River County Commission. 2145 14th Avenue j Vero Beach, Florida 32960 ' Dear Sir: After several meetings and many suggested ideas of com- munication, it was decided at a meeting of the Board of Directors of this Chapter on May 19, 1981 to pass a resolution to go on record to the Indian River County Commission expressing our concern and/or our objection to the land use plan, especially the high density recommendations in some areas as outlined in the plan to be considered by you at this time. We feel it should be pointed out that forty-four (44) condominium associations are members of our organization. This represents 6,000 units or dwellings and if multiplied by two (2) would total 12,000 members. We cannot over -emphasize the amount of dissatisfaction expressed by members of this organization with this plan. TRe would hope you gentlemen will not forget to consider what problems could be facing us, especially on the barrier is- land, if restraint is not forthcoming. It would seem to us that for the sake of two or three developers, or let us put it another way, for just monetary gains of a few; the life style, comfort and happiness of thousands of our citizens could be impaired. The City of Vero Beach and Indian River County have always been an outstanding example of simplicity, yet of great beauty, and is the envy of our surrounding neighbors. If not by design, then at least by good common sense, this county has developed into what is known to be the most desirable area in which to reside. Because restraint and good common sense was not used by others south of us, they are now faced with a multitude of problems. They now find there is insufficient water supply, sewerage problems, roads that cannot be widened to support the tremendous increase in traffic, that in turn is causing not only congestion, but dangerous traffic problems restricting emergency vehicles such as police, fire and ambulance service. Also there is the lack of sufficient bridges to effectively handle traffic in the event of emergency, such as in time of need for quick evacuation, or more so on a continuing basis getting police, fire and ambulance service to and from the barrier island. We could go on and on enumerating as to why good planning and re- straint is so important but we will leave that up to you who are our representatives to inszre our future will be properly planned. 47 PnE 202
