Mr. O'Haire reviewed in detail the zoning surrounding their property, noting that there is industrial immediately to the east, commercial to the northeast, manufacturing to the southeast, and agricultural to the south. With their present zoning, they could put agriculturally related industial uses on their property, i.e., a juice plant or packing house, but their property is only 15 acres and there is no land commercially viable as an agricultural enterprise in the vicinity. In addition,- Rampmaster is within 1500' of their property and the runway to Hibiscus Airport within 12001; in fact, the leg of the pattern the -spray planes take extends diagonally across their property. Mr. O'Haire pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan calls for "smooth transition" and also states that the shape of a node may deviate in any direction about an intersection. He emphasized that they have no transition whatsoever from industrial, and the nodal concept did not have fixed boundaries when they bought this property, which they purchased because of its proximity to the airport and other commercial uses. He further noted that as residential, it would never work, not only because of the industrial uses in the area, but because of the violent opposition of the airport owners who deliberately moved their operation out here to get away from a residential area. Mr. O'Haire believed that in this node it was always felt that east of I-95 was commercial, west'was industrial, and north residential because it has been platted. He would like to be included in the industrial and felt if they are not, it would be spot zoning. He made the further point that there is nothing in the Land Use Plan about absorption of land for the purpose of "in -fill" and saving it for people whether they asked for it or not.
