Chief Planner Shearer emphasized that staff has been trying <br />to move forward with zoning, and they consider that creation of a <br />mixed district as proposed would be a step backwards. He further <br />noted that the residents not only want single family and mobile <br />homes in the same district, but they also want to include a wide <br />variety of home occupations. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked who owns the land in the mobile <br />home area, and Planner Shearer stated that in most cases the <br />person owning the mobile home also owns the land; this is not a <br />mobile home park. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed that this makes quite a <br />difference as these are people's homes. <br />Joan Spaulding of 129th Place informed the Board that she <br />owns a mobile home that is on two acres of land. Her son lives <br />in a house next door to her and has written the following letter <br />in support of a mixture of single family and mobile homes: <br />May 20, 1986 <br />Thomas C. Spaulding <br />Diana L. Spaulding <br />7890 -129th Place: <br />P.O. Box 264 <br />Roseland, FL 32957 <br />Indian River County <br />Planning and Development Division <br />Administrative Building <br />1840 -25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Bwrd Members: <br />Beginning in 1983, we constructed a single family frame home on a one-half <br />acre lot at the above address, which is in the AA Berry subdivision of Rose- <br />land. At that time, zoning allowed both single-family homes and mobile <br />homes. When we bought our property in 1981, we were completely aware of <br />this zoning allowance. We have no objections to a mixed residental area <br />consisting of single family homes and mobile homes. We feel our home is <br />certainly an asset to the area property value. Our area has included a <br />mixture of both single-family homes and mobile homes for a good many years. <br />Currently, the zoning is RMH-6 where we live. This was a recent change as <br />you know. Roseland has its fair share of mobile home zoning, and we. have <br />not cared for this conversion to a mobile home zoning allowance only. If <br />we should experience a catastrophic loss to our home, the present zoning <br />would not allow us to replace our current home as a single-family home. <br />67 <br />MAY 21 196 BOOK ID F�c�� <br />
