r R.UC 27 1991 BOOK 849, CE that they do not own when the County staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission see no need to do so. She felt if this were allowed to prevail, we would have a disruptive condition and the master land use plan would have little or no value. Mrs. Krovocheck hoped the County Commissioners recognize the wisdom of the two statements of staff along with the Planning and Zoning recommendation, and deny the rezoning request. Jack Krovocheck, 565 South Highway A1A, came before the Board and recapped his background as a developer in the County. He also described his attorney-client relationship with Mr. Of Haire for the past 15 years. He stated he was thunderstruck, when he received notice from the County on May 4, 1991 that his property was going to be rezoned and had to attend a meeting on May 7, 1991 as well as a Planning and Zoning meeting. He responded to the discussion regarding splitting his property by reporting that the property has been split; it occurred on May 10, 1991. He said when he bought the property back in 1980 he made no promises to anyone; there were 13 utility taps and certainly the zoning would allow for more than one house on the property. As far as the variance, he said it was for a widow's walk on his house, which could have been eliminated if the variance had not been granted. He spoke of the electrical and cable television lines which were of benefit to both himself and Mr. O'Haire. He also mentioned that the property had been listed for sale in 1985 for six months and recently it was listed for a short.while but that listing has expired. He emphasized that a change in zoning from RS -3 to RS -1 would seriously devalue his property and would put at risk all owners of unplatted RS -3 land in the County to possible requests by their neighbors for rezoning. He believed the two staff reports were detailed and comprehensive, were objectively written with the whole community planning and zoning interests in mind, and these recommendations were confirmed by the Planning and Zoning Commission when they denied this request for rezoning. Regarding the environmental issue and the lagoon, Mr. Krovocheck said this issue would be covered extensively before the proper agencies. Mr. Krovocheck reminded the Board that he is a land developer and the Board should not limit his ability to develop his property. The Board could not ask Mr. O'Haire to limit the number of clients in his law practice, nor could they tell Mr. Luther how many acres of citrus he could grow; they should not change the playing field now. He said his property is in conformance with the master land use plan and there is no compelling reason for the rezoning. Mr. Krovocheck hoped the Board would see the wisdom of .planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission and deny the 26
