�v <br />v <br />r � � <br />noted that he used to live in Fort Lauderdale, and when urbaniza- <br />tion took place, the many people who had been gainfully employed <br />in the AG industry lost jobs, went to Welfare, went into drugs, <br />etc., and the whole place went to the dogs. If anything is done <br />to deter the operation and orderly development of citrus in this <br />county, those workers who are illiterate, although they are <br />highly trained men, do not have the capability of moving out of <br />the AG sector into other jobs, and there are many such people. <br />He believed if this happens, the DCA is going to be confronted in <br />the courts of this land and will find out just what rights they <br />have or do not have. <br />Peter Robinson, president of Laurel Homes and representing <br />Treasure Coast Builders Association, referred to the following <br />letter sent to the Board by Treasure Coast Builders Association: <br />TREASURE COAST BUILDERS ASSOCIATION <br />6560 South Federal Highway, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952 <br />January 31, 1990 <br />I.R.C. Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />UI�zT'?(BUTION LIST <br />C--- -iissioners <br />A,..;:­i:strator ✓ <br />At: -',..''Y <br />Pc.iel <br />Pu 'Norks <br />C; ............y Uev. v <br />Utilities <br />FinEnce <br />Other <br />We are writing to you today to express our objections on certain <br />issues of the county's Comprehensive Growth Management Plan as it <br />affects us in the home building industry. Some of our objections <br />include, but are not limited to: <br />1. The possible imposition of yet another impact fee to <br />pay for parks and recreation. <br />2. Arbitrary zoning densities dictated by a state <br />agency (the DCA) which has little knowledge of, or <br />concern for, the uniqueness of Indian River County's <br />growth patterns and philosophies. <br />3. The unrealistic requirement to set aside 25 percent <br />of .each native plant community which occurs on a <br />building site. This requirement when added to <br />drainage and other requirements may shut down all <br />economic expansion in this county. <br />4. The need to protect land owners' rights by vesting <br />of development orders and associated capabilities <br />needed for that development, while also preventing <br />hoarding of capacities. <br />�' 15(Ea X990 4 5 P�GK ; , <br />
