!WAY 5 1987 <br />BOOK 68 PS,E 238 <br />acre subdivisions came in, and thus, he did not feel leaving this <br />in RS -6 would have an adverse effect on property values. In <br />fact, with the golf courses in the area and the future availabil- <br />ity of sewer and water, he believed that the area is assured of <br />continuing to increase in value and continuing to be one of the <br />most desirable places to live in the county.

This is a community cut out of the <br />center of the county just as much as Gifford and Roseland are <br />communities, and he felt strongly that the people living there <br />who have participated in making it a community have more of a <br />right than potential investors or developers.
