If you consider these figures divided into an acre and <br />then realize that when you take 100 acres and exclude the land <br />needed for drainage, roads, easements, etc., you end up with 70 <br />acres or less to put the RS -6 development on, it is ludicrous to <br />say you would be building at something over 3 upa. Mr. DeBerry <br />believed this is a very sensitive piece of property. It is an <br />aquifer recharge area that has something to do with the environ- <br />ment on both sides of the ridge, and he felt that it should be <br />zoned RS -3. <br />James Taylor, 6365 69th St., advised that he was speaking on <br />behalf of a number of residents who live relatively close to the <br />area, and he is representing a community. The question of <br />community is very important in this issue, and the question of <br />community extends all the way to Lateral A canal and beyond. Mr. <br />Taylor felt one of, the things left out when speaking of the <br />history of this area was the fact that the initial request that <br />went through was for the entire section going from Kings Highway <br />all the way up to be rezoned. He emphasized that the original <br />plan discussed had very little to do with the final decision. No <br />sooner was the public hearing closed than that plan was all of a <br />sudden changed. He realized there is a canal there, but that is <br />an arbitrary point. Mr. Taylor continued to discuss the overall <br />development of the community, noting that they are surrounded by <br />golf courses and some nice subdivisions. He stressed that they <br />do not have a problem with bringing neighbors in - what they are <br />talking about is not the house size but how much room sits <br />between each house. Mr. Taylor described in great detail <br />possible development at RS -6, and emphasized he felt it would <br />result in an ecological "A -Bomb" and damage to the aquifer from <br />the digging of retention ponds. He felt when you subtract the <br />property needed for facilities, etc., you are talking very high <br />densities. <br />26 <br />
