Board must be focusing on this property for reasons of sand, <br />plants, and animals, but there are ways to protect the county in <br />that regard other than decreased density. Mr. Herzog again asked <br />that the Board not make the Comprehensive.Plan change to LD -1 and <br />further noted that he believed his client has substantial grounds <br />for applying for rezoning at RM -6 because of the zoning that was <br />granted Treasure Ridge. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, noted that he has <br />spoken many times against the extension of commercial into other <br />areas, but he felt you can make just as much of a mistake in <br />pushing real low density out into higher density areas. He did <br />not agree with the Board's action in pushing the low density <br />further out on 16th Street in the Rosewood area, and he believed <br />this property, especially the eastern edge of it, can stand a <br />higher density. <br />Judy Fennell, owner of 10 acres of the property in question, <br />stated that she has lived there 27 years and raised her family <br />there. She saw no reason whatsoever to change the designation, <br />and wanted it left at LD -2. <br />Carmel Hudson, owner of property directly across the road, <br />noted that they have LD -1 on their side of the road but did not <br />know what good it will do them to have LD -2 on the other side. <br />It is a beautiful area; they are concerned with the wildlife, <br />etc., and she urged that the area be kept as it is. <br />Tom Barnes advised that he owns a 65 acre citrus grove on <br />the south side of Winter Beach Road and his sister owns 100 acres <br />east of his property. He noted that he has been to many <br />meetings about this, and he is getting tired of some people <br />telling only part of the story on the area and some people who <br />are not directly affected coming in here and clouding the issue. <br />Mr. Barnes felt strongly about the private property rights of the <br />people who own this land and have been paying taxes on their <br />property for a long time, and he emphasized that when you <br />downzone someone's property, you are affecting their value <br />OCT 7.19187 61 t 000 69 F'',UC 8.34 <br />
