Mr. Selph expressed outrage that the developers have used the terminology "just like Vista Royale," and went on to discuss the lowness of the land which is in the 100 year flood plain and the drainage problems. He did not feel the fact that people from St. Lucie County spoke in behalf of the developer carried any weight because he does not like the way they develop in St. Lucie County. Mr. Selph stated that if the Commission votes for this project, they will alter his life style, endanger him and his children, negate efforts to �V establish orderly development in the county, and most importantly, break the trust the citizens have in the Commission as elected officials to carry out the wishes of - the citizens. Don Nichols, owner of 3 lots on 12th St., informed the Board that he had plans to build on Lot 3, but three builders advised him not to do anything until it was determined how this zoning would go, which he believed clearly demonstrates that there would be an adverse effect on the adjoining property. Lomax Gwathmey, 23 Sea Horse Lane, county resident for 21 years, commented that although we apparently have a very high class development plan and a reputable builder, he also was troubled with the numbers presented by staff. He noted that there are only 94 buildable acres, and at 594 units, you are over 6 units per acre, and if you deduct the land for lakes, you are over 7 units per acre. Mr. Gwathmey emphasized that the density designation in the Land Use Plan was not an entitlement and favored approval of Mrs. Robinson's recommendation that the whole thing be put off until we get into Planned Unit Development. No One further wished to be heard. 63 D E C 11982 Alex 52 PAGE 2T'75 6
