Susie Wilson, resident and land owner of Fellsmere, <br />came before the Board representing a group of land owners <br />who had been very much opposed to the Land Use Plan as first <br />presented. She stated that she was glad to hear that <br />recognition had been made of their problems and some <br />compromises made. She then proceeded to present their <br />feelings about the Plan as originally designed, noting that <br />many people bought and developed their property in this area <br />at one unit per acre, and they do not see any need to have a <br />buffer zone between the City and agricultural since <br />.they have existed in this fashion for years with no <br />problem. Mrs. Wilson went on to speak of environmentally <br />endangered lands, the wildlife management area, and the <br />Upper St. John's River Basin. She emphasized that they do <br />not want to pollute the water any further and reported that <br />she had gathered petitions with over 100 signatures stating <br />that they want everything left agricultural. After <br />discussions with the Planner, however, they now have agreed <br />to go along with a plan allowing for some growth as <br />presented by Mr. Rever. Mrs. Wilson commented that one <br />thing that has not been touched on is the industrial area at <br />the intersection of I-95 and SR 512, which they would like <br />to have cut back to 25 acres and designated for commercial <br />only. She stated that the people of Fellsmere are trying to <br />tell the Commission that they have a beautiful rural <br />community and they want to keep it that way. <br />Attorney George Heath came before the Board <br />representing Al Kahn who owns approximately 12300 acres west <br />and south of the Homewood Subdivision and also about 300 <br />acres in the subdivision, some in the part chosen to be <br />designated LD -1. Attorney Health stated that his client had <br />been under the impression that consideration would be given <br />to designating RR from Ditch 20 down to Ditch 22 to provide <br />a buffer zone between the LD -1 and the agricultural to the <br />south. Mr. Kahn believes that RR would allow for a better <br />and more appropriate development for this area. Attorney <br />3 <br />Bum � � PAGE � 1 <br />OCT 1 "` 19"81 <br />
