Land use <br />changes are permitted by the County at a time when a large <br />percentage of our owners (and your taxpayers!) are away on <br />vacation. <br />County officials seem to give little weight to the fact that <br />our residential areas contribute more to County revenues and ask <br />less in return than any other group of taxpayers. We deserve <br />official support when we seek only the preservation of the peace <br />and quiet and safety of our neighborhoods. <br />We do not need any more acres of black -top, destruction of <br />trees, empty stores, pollution of water ways and highway <br />accidents. <br />We note that the 19 acres of the old Jungle Gardens (as of <br />1983) have been reduced to 15 by the developer decision in favor <br />of more residential space. No good reason exists why this healthy <br />trend cannot be continued, without serious injury to any one. <br />Access to Route 1 should be limited. Aquisition of some park <br />land should be considered. The South Relief Canal should be <br />protected. All possible trees should be preserved. <br />Please consider this letter as our formal request that the <br />Board of County Commissioners direct the Planning staff to <br />initiate a comprehensive plan amendment for the purpose of <br />rezoning this site back to RM10 as established by the 1982 <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan. <br />We would appreciate a timely response from the Commission on <br />this matter. <br />Since y, - <br />t?-2��f - ,�<✓l., am Alia, <br />President <br />Q <br />P.O.
