s s s w Mr. Patrick B. Lyons, Chairman August 17, 1981 Board of County Commissioners 17 Sailfish Road Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Mr. Lyons: The proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan fails to address several questions of concern to The Moorings. As a result, the ef- fect of the Plan on the Company appears to be unfair and inequitable. We are, therefore, presenting this statement of our position and in- tentions and request that it be entered as a part of the record of proceedings for the public hearings on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to be held on August 18 and September 1, 1981. HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOORINGS The Moorings Development Company, begun in Naples in 1957, has been working slowly and methodically since.1968, according to our own carefully formulated master land -use plan, to create a diversi- fied, high quality community along the south beach in Indian River County. To those familiar with the growth and development of The Moorings, it is apparent that we have spared neither effort nor resources to create an unique and beautiful community. More than twenty-two percent (22%) of our total available land area was committed to a golf course for the use and enjoyment of residents; a prime ocean -front building lot was deeded to our property owners for perpetual use as a community park and beach; and land was sacrificed for lagoon -like waterways, when subdivision planning practices and economic consider- ations in 1968 would have dictated that unimaginative straight -cut canals should have been utilized. (See table "D".) THE MOORINGS' CONFORMITY WITH 1975 LAND USE PLAN When the County adopted its first land use plan in 1975, our ex- isting development and our plans for the future were incorporated in SEP 1 1991 BOOK 47 PAGE 326 2125 WINDWARD M.FlACII, FLORIDA 32960 • '305-2:11-51:31
