A <br />BOOK A 1517, <br />6. The increase in risk and instability associated with <br />land ownership due to ever-changing availability of <br />capacities. This can have a dramatic effect on <br />banking, real estate, and all who do business in the <br />county. <br />These are some of our objections, but the list is by no means all- <br />encompassing. We understand the need for planning the future <br />growth of our county and for maintaining the quality of life we all <br />enjoy in Indian River County.

He noted that Director Keating said we are <br />smarter now - we are going to make you set this aside, but now we <br />will make you responsible for taking care of it and seeing that <br />trash isn't dumped on it, etc. Mr. Robinson felt this is a <br />"taking" and that the government should pay for it and, at the <br />least, should be responsible for taking care of it. <br />Peter Spyke, citrus consultant, 126 43rd Avenue, informed <br />the Board that he was involved with the Martin County Comprehen- <br />sive Land Use Plan, and they discussed this 25% set aside at <br />length. He had a, possible solution to suggest in regard to <br />Agriculture. Mr. Spyke felt the 25% figure is fairly arbitrary <br />and it originally came from Palm Beach County where mapping <br />46 <br />
