He advised that in 1977 Village Green was rated the No. 1 mobile home park in the state of Florida. Mr. Miller urged that the request to amend the ordinance be denied. Chairman Scurlock asked how many in the audience supported Mr. Miller's statements, and around 100 people raised hands. (Wayne Gerhold next spoke in behalf of the residents of Villai'ge Green (about 782 homes with approximately 11,000 residents). He pointed out that they have experienced four park ownerships since 1975, and with each change in ownership came new problems. Mr. Gerhold emphasized the desirability of keeping our only entrance from the west attractive. He noted there is enthusiastic talk of revitalizing the downtown area, and he felt the same attention should be given to SR 60 leading into the downtown area. Mr. Gerhold stressed that the request made by the Wilder Corp. would bring commercial to within 12' of the existing homes bordering the proposed site and urged the Board to deny ',the request to amend the ordinance. Steve Nagy, Village Green, noted that Mr. Scent said earlier that,the reason he did not move to Village Green was because the commercial convenience center wasn't there; however, most of the people present today did move to Village Green just because it wasn't there. In addition, the proposed commercial would be right next to some of the mobile homes, and Mr. Nagy advised that he and the other residents very much oppose the requested change. ;The Chairman, upon determining that no one further wished to be heard, declared the public hearing closed. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, to deny the request for a change in the Zoning Code which would permit a shorter distance separation between neighborhood nodes. 17 SEP 1 1997 BOOB 6r PACE 199
