the Platt Estate as they represent contract purchasers from the Estate, and they may also be speaking on behalf of their clients. Your consideration to the comments and thoughts expressed in this letter, as well as your consideration to the presentation by Mr. Barkett and Mr. McQueen, will be greatly appreciated. Before I close, I do want to make the very positive point that Indian River County has an excellent planning department and I commend Bob Keating and his entire staff for the professional and competent work that they perform on an "every day" basis. In a conversation that I recently had with Bob, he observed that "if everybody was happy with what his department was doing then he probably wasn't doing his job" and I suspect that this is true. The planning staff is to be commended for exercising their best efforts to conform to the Objectives, Recommendations and Comments of the Department of Community Affairs. Perhaps a primary function of the planning department is to recommend a plan that would conform to these objections, recommendations and comments. However, I would suggest that the County Commissioners, while certainly not ignoring the good advice and counsel of its planning department, quite properly should exercise their own judgment and have their own input to protect and promote the best interests of Indian River County and its citizens and residents as opposed to leaving the entire planning process to the Department of Community Affairs or the Regional Planning Council. This letter constitutes "written objections during the local government review and adoption proceedings". The affected persons identified herein have objections to the proposed Indian River County Comprehensive Plan, including, but not limited to, the matters, issues and comments hereinbefore expressed. Additionally, we adopt by reference the objections and contents of the letter addressed to you dated February 8, 1990 from Bruce Barkett of the firm of Collins, Brown & Caldwell. Would you kindly include this letter as a part of the record of the County Commissioner's hearing relating to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. ely yours, Darrell Fennell Chairman Eggert asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding the 25% requirement, and there were none.
