Ruth Clark, 7950 126th St., informed the Board that she was <br />approached to sign the petition, and it was not headed as it was <br />presented to the Board. It said "We, the undersigned of ROSE -4, <br />petition that Roseland be left in its present position (and then <br />it quoted the Ordinance numbers)." She contended that someone <br />who has not been following this matter would not understand that <br />if this goes through according to them, Roseland would not be <br />left as it is, it would become a catch -alt. She stated that when <br />she asked the person with the petition what the statement meant <br />because she was not familiar with the ordinance numbers that <br />followed it, he said Roseland would be left as it is; in other <br />words, people would be allowed to park a truck in their driveway. <br />Mrs. Clark expressed her opinion that 90% of the people who <br />signed the petition, signed it under a false assumption, and, <br />therefore, it is invalid. <br />Frank DeJoia, 11625 Roseland Road, felt the great majority <br />of people living in Roseland are proud of Roseland and of their <br />low density profile, and they do not want Roseland to become a <br />junk zoning area where we can institutionalize things that may <br />have been there illegally. As far as getting occupational <br />licenses is concerned, he pointed out that anyone can get one in <br />any area of the county as the people who issue the licenses do <br />not determine if what is being applied for is legal. Therefore, <br />the people must rely on the Board of County Commissioners to help <br />preserve Roseland, and Mr. DeJoia emphasized the fact that these <br />people want to preserve in Roseland things that have been done in <br />years past when there wasn't good code enforcement definitely is <br />not in the best interests of the vast majority of the people. He <br />particularly did not want to institutionalize the "Johnny-come- <br />latelys" who want to get in on the act, and he, therefore, urged <br />the Board to grandfather in only those in ROSE -4 who can document <br />that they have had businesses there a substantial length of time. <br />Mr. DeJoia also made the point that the fact that Mrs. Clark, <br />who lives in the ROSE -4 area and who has been following all the <br />JAN 19 1988 <br />55 <br />BOOK 70 PCE 615 <br />
