BOOK CPO PAGE 37 Arthur Sheeren, resident immediately adjacent to the Snoke property, objected to this rezoning request. He recalled that when the Land Use Plan was adopted, everybody was in favor of the zoning that is in there now. He announced that the Roseland Property Owners Association is here also to speak against the rezoning request. Fred Mensing, President of Roseland Property Owners Association, introduced Frank DeJoia, a member of the Board of Directors, who stated that the Board of Directors are 100% opposed to the LD -1. He recalled that when the Commissioners visited Sebastian during the Comp Plan hearings, many Roseland residents had an opportunity to talk about this beautiful area that extends along the Sebastian River to Roseland Road, and were violently opposed then to the LD -1 designation which allows up to 3 units per acre. The Roseland residents are still very concerned about River's Edge Subdivision violating the beautiful land along the Sebastian River and do not want to see anything like that happen again. He felt that if the subject property is redesignated as LD -1, there was a possibility that an inferior package sewer plant might be built similar to the one built by River's Edge. He believed the residents are not saying that the river's edge should not ever be developed, but are saying that it should be developed at a maximum of one unit per acre at the special designation of RR -2 which the Commission created specially for this area. Martha M. Csuri, Secretary of the Roseland Property Owners Association, pointed out that the association is in the process of conducting a survey of the residents and the results of the first 400 mailings are overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the land use at RR -2. She offered to present a breakdown of the survey results. Attorney O'Haire stressed that the area cannot be developed, in a practical manner, at anything greater than two units per acre since water and wastewater are not available. 39
