MAR 28 1989 March 22, 1989 Dear Commissioners: BOOK 76 FADE 460 Re: County Commission Meeting of March 28, 1989 As Grove Isle residents and property owners, we respectfully request that you favorably consider 1400 Development Corporation's request to approve their revised site plan.' The decision of the Planning and Zoning Board to deny the proposed boat ramp does not fairly consider our interests in being afforded the same opportunity given to the adjacent property owners. In addition to boat docks, several of the adjacent property owners have boat launch ramps. Of the two hundred and fifty-seven adult families residing at Grove Isle only 4 families have boats which would utilize the facility. Obviously, the principle involved is our interest in having tie same opportunity as our neighbors. Thankou for y your consideration. Continuing, Mr. Williamson stated that the residents understand that the DOT controls the drainage ditch between River Shores and Grove Isles and that it cannot be filled in or blocked off. They also realize that a number of River Shores residents have installed boat docks and ramps on their side of this ditch. He did not know the circumstances which permitted them to do it, and didn't care. His only request is that the residents of Grove Isle be given the same privilege and right to do the same. Mr. Williamson commented that they now have 248 condominiums and 26 single family homes, out of which only 4 own boats. At build out, Grove Isle will have 486 condos and 39 single family homes; the 1400 Development Corporation will set up the guidelines for the use of this recreation area; and the Board of Directors will enforce them. He did not foresee the area being impacted by a lot of boat owners from Grove isle. Based on the past experience with the developer, he believed the boat ramp and dock will not only be a benefit to Grove Isle but also to Indian River 20
