May 3, 1985 Board of County Commissioner 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Re: Nancy Cook rezoning request Gentlemen: Due to the hour of this hearing, 9:15 AM, I will be unable to attend this meeting as I have to work for a living as do most of my neighbors. About 1 or 2 months ago this hearing came before the Planning and Zonning Board and most of my neighbors attended, all except three families. We are all very much opposed to the poposed zoning change in this property. Two years ago Mr. Zorc requested a rezoning of the property located just to the north of this property. A stipulation was made at that time that he could build multi -family dwellings in the center area but that single family dwellings would be put up around the outside of his area. I understand now that he was simply making a gentleman's agreement which meant absolutely nothing to him. It seems there is nothing on record concerning the single family dwellings on the outside of that property. All of - the families on Fifth Place are on well water. We do not wish to have our water tainted with sewage which will surely happen if subject property going before this hearing is allowed to be rezoned multi -family along with the multi -family dwellings already present to the north of this area. Another problem will be with the added traffic burden in this area. We already have a hard time trying to enter Old Dixie from Fifth Place. This added traffic will only cause more confusion to this area. The property to the south of us is being built up with single family dwellings. The property owners in this area were beingafforded a decent value rating on their property. However, with these Government quarters type housing going in to the north of this subject property what can we expect out of multi -family dwellings being built on this subject property. As was brought up at the hearing before the Planning & Zoning Board the people adjacent to this property have beautiful homes some with swimming pools in their back yards surrounded by fencing. However, if the same type housing goes up on the subject property as did on the property to the north these people will have people constantly staring down into their back yards while they are trying to enjoy themselves in privacy. Two years ago the property immediately north of the subject property was rezoned from R-1 to R -2B with a promisa from the County Commission to the residents of Colonial Terrace and Hickory Sands, that if they would not oppose the rezoning, certain things would be done to satisfy all concerned: 1. The R -2B would have multi -family dwellings build in the center area with single family dwellings built in the periphery. 2. The commission would not, in the future, rezone any property in this area from it's R-1 zoning. 25 BOOK 60 PALE.820
