Mr. Beuttell stated that <br />they have no intentions of developing but they would like to <br />reserve the right to be able to develop as those property owners _ y <br />surrounding them have been able to. Conversely, if the Board <br />were to rezone the Ralmar property and the south side of Rosewood <br />to R-1, they would be glad to go along with anything of that <br />Di9�6 23 BOOK 6 PA,E 54n7 <br />
