r � � <br />looks like staff is taking the RM -6 line down to the RS -6 line <br />and clipping that line down a lot at a time. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard. <br />James A. Wildin, 8445 Campbell Avenue, expressed his <br />opposition to the proposed rezoning request. He explained that <br />his home is on the southeast corner of Campbell Avenue on <br />Mulberry and faces the property that is under consideration. He <br />knows the line cannot be moved any further south because those <br />are single-family lots to the south. When he bought his lot 9 <br />years ago, it was single-family zoning, and he understood that it <br />was to remain that way. Mr. Wildin pointed out that they have <br />already encroached on the single-family area and are wanting to <br />move that line down one lot at a time. Further, the residents <br />in the duplex area access their homes through the streets to the <br />south, and these roads are not County roads, although they are <br />dedicated County roads. He pointed out that Campbell Avenue is a <br />direct route for people driving from the Sebastian Highlands to <br />Roseland Road, and the traffic is unbelievable. <br />Wayne Sommers, one of the co-owners of the subject property, <br />wanted to clear up several points: <br />1) They are not asking for an increase in the densities since <br />the lot in question contains 15,000 square feet, which is over a <br />quarter of an acre, and the present zoning allows for 6 upa. <br />2) Staff has given their recommendation for the rezoning, as <br />well as the Planning 6 Zoning Commission. <br />3) As far as the increased traffic is concerned, most of the <br />traffic on Campbell Avenue comes from Sebastian Highlands, which <br />is predominantly single family. <br />4) The duplex -zoned area takes in about 48 or 49 lots, which is <br />approximately half of Roseland Gardens, so the people who bought <br />and live here knew it was a duplexed-zoned area. <br />Mr. Sommers did not feel that he was trying to affect the <br />property values negatively by asking that this zoning district be <br />5 o <br />LIAR 4 ,198% BOOK 6`� u,E 69" <br />J <br />
