FLORIDA - 32948 <br />CITY CLERK'S OFFICE <br />PHONE 571-0116 <br />June 9,1982 <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />18=0 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />POLICE DEPT. <br />PHONE 571-1360 <br />Re: County Comprehensive Land Plan for Indian River -County, <br />Florida as prepared by Community Development Department. <br />February 24,1982. <br />Dear Sirs; <br />Pursuant to the requirements of the Local Government <br />Comprehensive Planning act of 1975, the City Council of <br />Fellsmere reviewed the proposed plan for Indian River County <br />at its regular meeting May 13,1982. The following comments <br />were approved by Council for the Board of County Commissioners <br />prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />On April 15,1981, the City of Fellsmere requested <br />certain properties immediately outside our city limits be <br />considered LD1 (see attached letter and your reply). After <br />many meetings by council and impacts by concerned citizens <br />outside the city, some of our requests are hereby revoked. <br />After studing all the aspects and impacts'on our people <br />within the city, the Homewood Subdivision will cost the <br />city taxpayer a great deal of money in providing services <br />to the unincorporated area should the LD1 concept be approved. <br />Example, approximately 8•miles.of the city dirt roads inter- <br />sect the Homewood Subdivision. This is.the only access this <br />subdivision would have to CR 507. Assuming all property <br />within the subdivision were developed sfte 1080 homes, <br />populas and vehiclular traffic would use 15 streets of <br />concentrated residential area. - <br />Joined with this problem is the police protection these <br />homes would require. Historically,•and by mutual aid <br />agreement with the Indian River County Sheriff Department, <br />the city police would service thses homes in the absence <br />of the County Sheriff Department which is located <br />approximately 20 miles away. This is an added burden that <br />would be placed on the city taxpayer with no additional <br />revenues to support these needs. <br />The RR1 zone west of the City of Fellsmere will impact <br />the city in permitting a home per Z, acres as well, but <br />certainly not as much as the LD1 zone south of our city <br />limits. <br />.ti <br />J U L 13 1982 21 moK 50 -%E 395 <br />
