people in the subdivision to the east, and this has been going on <br />for a long period of time. Mrs. Broda asked if Kennedy Groves <br />acted in good faith when they undertook expansion which they <br />clearly knew would increase the incompatibilities in land use, <br />and pointed out that the row of citrus trees could have been <br />planted without removing the oak buffer although vehicle access <br />to the east side of the new row of trees at the southern end of <br />the street would have been restricted. <br />In this light, Mrs. Broda wished to make two requests of the <br />Board: 1) To compel Kennedy Groves to revegetate the buffer to <br />mitigate the incompatibilities between agricultural and <br />residential land uses, and, 2) To amend the public record to <br />reflect the truth that Kennedy Groves did not act in entirely <br />good faith in this matter. <br />B. T. Cooksey, attorney representing Kennedy Groves, noted <br />that he was available to answer any questions the Board may have. <br />There were none. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Board <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, that the Board adopt Ordinance <br />88-42, rezoning 38+ acres from RS -6 to A-1. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bowman stated that she has <br />put herself in the position of the residents of Oceanaire Heights <br />who bought their houses with the understanding that they were <br />zoned residential and had a non -conforming use next door. They <br />had a decent buffer between them and the citrus operation, and <br />had every right not to expect any further encroachment. By their <br />own admission, the grove owners have conceded that a sizable <br />buffer is necessary so that spraying and fertilizing does not <br />create any nuisance to their neighbors.
