JUL 2 7 198 a � � Thomas believed that leaving Homewood Subdivision LD -1 and having a buffer of RR -1 would be in the best interests of the City of Fellsmere, as stated in his letter. Irving Herris of Coral Gables, a part of the group which owns a major .part of the subject property, next came before the Board. Mr. Herris noted that when he attended the last meeting in Sebastian re the Land Use Plan, he had believed this was all finalized at that time. He explained } that since they considered the City of Fellsmere a population node, they felt the logical thing would be for the density to decline as it moved outward and go from LD -1 to RR and then to Agricultural, consistent with the way it is done in other area. He continued that this was planned, but was emasculated at the Sebastian hearing. Mr. Herris then talked about personal problems between himself and Joe Suit and informed the Board that Mr. Suit made incorrect statements in his letter since according to him there would be 15 streets cutting through Homewood and that would be impossible unless they built 15 culverts over Ditch 18. Mr. Herris reported that they do -plan some development in the near future, but there is no tremendous surge in demand for land use there. He felt based on the Land Use Plan, the major factor to be considered is consistency. Discussion then ensued as to whether Homewood Subdivision is actually subdivided, and Mr. Herris stated that it was subdivided back in 1924 into lots about 2/3 of an acre in size, but he did not know if it was recorded. Zoning Director Walker stated that Homewood Subdivision is unrecorded, and the plat shows the lots as being 2-1/2 acres each. Mr. Herris stated that he only knows what they bought and are paying taxes on, which are basically 2/3 acre lots. Discussion continued as to the total acreage involved, 23
