favor of the project for reasons already cited by several people here today. He felt the project makes a lot of economical sense. Dotty Ball, 1905 71st Avenue, asked exactly when the developer requested the appeal, and Planner Shearer believed they requested the appeal on January 16th. She stressed the increasing traffic accessing SR -60 along that 2 -mile stretch of road and listed the following number of units in the developments between Kings Highway and 1-95: Village Green, Phases, 1, II, & III - 750 units Countryside North - 650 Countryside South - proposed 800 Lakewood Village - 365 Heritage Village - 433 Ranchland - 107 units Heron Cay - proposed 580 Vista Plantation - 564 Indian River Estates - 260 Westgate Park Subdivision - 80 homes Greenbrier Subdivision - 75 homes Mrs. Ball reported that the sales managers of the mobile home parks have said that one-half of the units are 2 -car families. In addition, there is the traffic generated by the Holiday Inn, Days Inn, Courtesy Truck Stop, Golden Corral Restaurant, and the Central Assembly of God, and cars coming off 1-95 and across SR -60 from Yeehaw Junction. She wondered just how much traffic a land use could bear, and noted that there is only one red light from 1-95 east to the one at Kings Highway. She understood that a red light cannot be installed at an intersection having a dirt road. Mrs. Ball stressed the danger to children waiting for school buses and the liability the School Board would bear for any fatalities. She believed outside developers are having a race to fill in the groves out west as fast as possible. They bought their homes and made an investment . and questioned why the west side had to be the testing spot for mobile homes and rental units. She concluded by saying she hoped that the Board would appreciate their concern about the pride in their neighborhood and that she would rely on their good judgement in this rezoning appeal. 19 MAR 5 1986 BOOK 63 FA,E 794
