r <br />FEB I 'iAo <br />BOOK 79 9 F,. ,E 189 <br />Mr. Risinger advised that Mr. Freeman has an 80 acre tract <br />immediately west of 1-95 and immediately south of Oslo Road. <br />There is a small wedge shaped piece of property owned by the DOT <br />in between Mr. Freeman's property and the western R/W for 1-95 <br />This property presents a unique land designation problem in that <br />it obviously serves a higher and better use than 1 unit for 10 <br />acres as presently designated.

Mr. Freeman noted that one of the <br />county's objective supposedly is to prevent urban sprawl and keep <br />your services affordable to the people, and Indian River County <br />also wants.to keep a low rise, low density community, which he <br />82 <br />_I <br />
