Thomas <br />Hamilton, Jr., Personal Representative of the Estate of <br />Carson Platt, deceased. Accordingly, this letter is written <br />on behalf of Mr. Hamilton as Personal Representative and on <br />behalf of the heirs and beneficiaries of the estate. The <br />Carson Platt Estate includes approximately 7,000 acres of <br />property, most of which lies west of I-95 and most of which <br />is undeveloped (other than for cattle ranching) at the <br />present time. Enclosed for your information and reference is <br />a copy of a sketch which has been colored and coded and which <br />indicates the location of the lands owned by the Platt <br />Estate. <br />The purpose of this letter is to express grave concerns <br />about certain provisions and elements of the Comprehensive <br />Plan and the accompanying Future Land Use Map which I am <br />advised is under consideration for adoption on Tuesday, <br />February 13, 1990. <br />It is my understanding that the proposed Comprehensive <br />Plan and the proposed Future Land Use Map submitted by the <br />County for review in August of 1989 has now been <br />substantialiv revised, re -written and modified. Using a <br />t <br />broad sroke brush, it is obvious that a generally well - <br />conceived Plan as originally submitted by the County has been <br />amended, tightened and constricted to the point that <br />reasonable, prudent development (whether residential or <br />agricultural) would in many instances be unfeasible if not <br />impossible. <br />M <br />56 <br />L�J <br />
