Jean Ryther, resident of Genesea East, quoted from the deed restrictions on her property which require 30' front setbacks, 20' rear setbacks, houses of 2,000 sq, ft., two garages, etc. She stressed that she had to comply with all these things, and now the same developer wants to change all these rules just across the street simply because of greed. Bo Janssen, Sea Turtle Lane, wished to take exception to the comment made by the lady from The Moorings that in the future we may go to condos. He believed what is proposed is one step towards that and he would like to nip it in the bud. As to Mr. McQueen stating there is water and sewer, there is none. It may go there in the future, but no date has been set. Mr. Janssen believed Attorney O'Haire covered the situation very well. John Mead, President of the Board of Directors of the Sea Grove Property Owners Association, spoke in opposition to the proposed special exception approval. He emphasized that people in Sea Grove bought their land with the protection of the RS -3 zoning and what is being proposed is a mockery of that. Mr. Mead felt approval of this could only lead to additional requests which would hurt property values in the area. William Robinson, owner of nine lots in Bonita Beach Subdivision, wished to go on record in opposition to the granting of any special exceptions. John Ryther, property owner in Genesea West, informed the Board that he is an environmental biologist and has studied the river, which is the backbone of this whole area, and seen it deteriorate since he has been here.
