Mr. Alia emphasized the traffic stress this would create and <br />quoted an editorial from the PRESS JOURNAL urging denial of the <br />Vista Properties request for a zoning change. <br />Raymond Cox spoke next representing residents of Vista <br />Royale and focused his comments entirely on the traffic impact on <br />Vista Royale Boulevard. He noted that in 1983 they were told the <br />road capacity was 24,000, and now in 1986 suddenly there is the <br />capacity to handle additional daily trips, which he could not <br />comprehend. Mr. Cox did not believe U.S.I has changed except <br />that it is more hazardous than it was earlier. He further <br />believed the Planning staff completely disregarded impacts on the <br />main entrance and have told them that this simply becomes a site <br />plan question.

He urged the Board to deny <br />the application. <br />Harold Putnam, resident of Vista Royale and member of the <br />Florida Bar, noted that Vista Properties came in at the last <br />minute with some additional suggestions of uses they are willing <br />to prohibit, and he felt this should go back to the Planning <br />staff before the final decision is reached.
