S E P I 1981 80 47 AND THEY WERE ALLOWED TWO UNITS PER ACRE; 3/4 OF THIS LAND IS BUILT UP THIS WAY. THE NEW PLAN WOULD ALLOW 6 UNITS, AND HE WISHED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER WHERE THAT WOULD PUT THE PEOPLE ALREADY LIVING IN THIS AREA IF SOMEONE CAME IN AND PUT UP CONDOS. ATTORNEY MICHAEL O'HAIRE WAS CALLED AND CAME FORWARD REPRESENT- ING THE VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION. HE NOTED A NUMBER OF FORMAL PROTESTS FOR THE RECORD AS FOLLOWS SINCE HE BELIEVED IT LIKELY THESE PROCEEDINGS WILL BE REVIEWED: "THE ADVERTISED NOTICE FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FLORIDA STATUTES CHAPTER 163.3164 Sus. 16, 163.190 OF THE 1980 REVISIONS, AND 163.3181, ALL OF WHICH RELATE TO THE FORM OF NOTICE. THE NOTICE IS MISLEADING IN THAT THE TEXT OF THE NOTICE OMITS DENSITY CATEGORIES FOR THE MXD AREA, WHICH IS BASICALLY GIFFORD, AND THE MAP INDICATES FIXED DENSITIES WHILE THE TEXT SHOWS THAT DENSITIES ARE PERMITTED TO RANGE.

IN ADDITION, THE BARRIER ISLAND STUDY WAS NOT SUBMITTED TO THE STATE. ATTORNEY O'HAIRE STATED THAT IF THE ADVERTISED LAND USE PLAN IS ADOPTED, HE FELT THE COMMISSION IS PLAYING WITH THE PEOPLES LANDS AND THEIR LIVES BECAUSE WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ON FISCAL IMPACTS, AND THERE ARE TREMENDOUS QUESTIONS REGARDING FLOOD WATER, TRAFFIC IMPACTS, ETC. ATTORNEY O'HAIRE DISPUTED THE PLANNERS GROWTH PROJECTION FIGURE OF 130,000 WHILE THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION PROJECTS 600,000, AND DID NOT BELIEVE THE PLANNING DIRECTOR HAS BEEN IN THIS COUNTY LONG ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF ITS POPULATION INCREASE, WHICH
