Fr - <br />S E P <br />111990 <br />Commissioner <br />Bird stressed that he hated to see <br />our <br />utilities service plan restricted to the confines of these lines <br />for the next 20 years, but he wondered just how difficult it wi'II <br />be to amend the Plan and change those lines to provide service to <br />some of these non -service areas. <br />Director Keating felt it will be very difficult because to <br />amend the Plan, you have to justify it even more.

A lot of it is in producing citrus groves, but a lot of <br />it isn't, and he is afraid we are really painting those people in <br />a corner.
