MAY 2 11991, <br />s� <br />BOOK 83 F'AUE 40 <br />So, the homeowners and the people in the area are going to benefit <br />as well. He felt that Mr. Nobil has done an excellent job <br />developing Riverwalk Shopping Center. He stated Fred Mensing has <br />property back there to develop as residential and felt there is a <br />conflict of interest. <br />Dan Preuss, realtor in the Sebastian area, concurred with the <br />last two speakers. He felt the jobs that would be created are very <br />important to the area. Taking into consideration the fact that one <br />of the largest employers in the area is Capt. Hiram's Raw Bar, he <br />concluded there is a need for jobs in the area and that was his <br />concern. <br />Mark Hanson, member of the family which owns the subject <br />property, recounted the history of the purchase and development by <br />his father of the hundred acres of property in the Roseland area, <br />stressing his father's reputation for honesty and knowledge of land <br />development which the rest of the family has tried to continue. <br />Mr. Hanson cited several occasions when his father and his mother <br />had donated land for rights-of-way and a park and their high <br />standards in accepting or rejecting proposed sales of the land, <br />always keeping in mind the good of the area. He wanted to assure <br />the residents that he would only build, or allow to be built, <br />multi -family residences which would be nice looking and keep in <br />line with the existing neighborhood concept. <br />Frank DeJoia, 11625 Roseland Road, came before the Board and <br />stated he is a Director of the Roseland Property Owners' <br />Association. However, he was not speaking as a director or member <br />of the property owners association because the organization did not <br />have a unanimous voice. He personally felt what is proposed has <br />both merits and some dangers. His concern is a strip of land <br />located between the commercial that is being proposed and the Shady <br />Rest Mobile Home Park that would connect U.S.1 with 135th Street. <br />He wants to preserve the residential integrity of this part of <br />Roseland. His other concern is that the 40 -foot buffer on the <br />other side of that two hundred foot strip is not very much of a <br />buffer when you stop to think about the sand pines and the slash <br />pines that are in there. <br />Attorney Barkett addressed the issue of the road by <br />demonstrating on the map a sixty -foot easement from U.S.1 to the <br />corner of the property for ingress and egress to the site. He <br />stated there is no intention and no ability to open this road down <br />to 135th Street. <br />32 <br />
