SEP 1 1991 Bom' 4*7 PA4,19 <br />FRANK DANCY NOTED THAT HE IS ONE OF THE CRACKERS EVERYONE <br />HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT, AND HE WISHED TO OBJECT TO THE ZONING OF <br />A SPECIFIC TRACT OF LAND LYING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF S.R. 510 <br />WEST OF WABASSO ROAD, WHICH PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN THEIR FAMILY <br />ALMOST 60 YEARS IN CITRUS GROVE. THIS LAND, WHICH ONCE WAS <br />BORDERED BY RAW GROVE LAND, IS NOW BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY THE <br />SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS DEVELOPMENT; WITH VERO LAKE ESTATES 1-1/2 <br />MILES TO THE WEST WITH A DENSITY OF LD -1 OR 3 UNITS PER ACRE, <br />AND LATERAL A 1-1/2 MILES TO THE EAST AT LD -2 OR 6 UNITS PER <br />ACRE.

MR. LAPHAM <br />STATED THAT THEIR ASSOCIATION DOES NOT OPPOSE GROWTH, BUT BELIEVES <br />IT MUST BE PLANNED. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WAS BORN IN DADE COUNTY, <br />AND SAW IT GROW FROM A BASICALLY RURAL COUNTY TO WHERE IT HAS THE <br />
