He believed that 6 upa might even be considered too low considering the expected growth in Indian River County. _ Lynn Kirk, 4210 North Winter Beach Road, thanked the Board for their July 23rd decision to change the land use designation from LD -2 with 6 upa to LD -1 with 3 upa. He recalled that Commissioner Bowman had noted at that meeting that people were building homes on large tracts, and that values would increase greatly because of the golf courses being built in the area. Mr. Kirk stressed that there have been no significant changes since the Board made their policy decision at that July 23rd meeting. Commissioner Lyons stated he was very tired of this issue, and believed the people up there are tired of it also and would like to see it settled. W. R. Broocke, 6185 65th Street, believed that the Board's actions should be to the maximum benefit of the maximum amount of people, and urged the Board to continue with the policy decision made on July 23rd. John Hansen, 4290 North Winter Beach Road, explained that his house is west of the Lateral G Canal and that he is in favor of the downzoning. He pointed out that most of that area is in the sand ridge, which recharges the aquifer, and to put more homes on that land would put a strain on the aquifer. He noted that one of the members of the Planning 6 Zoning Commission had n been very concerned about the impact on the sand ridge, and he hoped the Board would vote the same way they did at the July 23rd meeting. Rebecca B. Hampton, President of the Winter Beach Progressive League, urged the Board to vote the same way they did on July 23rd. She recalled that they turned in petitions with 220 names of people opposed to the LD -2 land use and RS -6 zoning. She stated that the Progressive League is still in support of the Winter Beach PLUM (Precise Land Use Map). 48
