r MAS IS 1993 BOOK 89 PAGF.582 On behalf of the City Council of the City of Fellsmere and its residents, I strongly urge you and your fellow commissioners to vote NO on granting the special exception use approval for a private land clearing debris burning facility, during the County Commission meeting May 18, 1993. Thanking you in advance for your consideration in our request. Sincerely .Te I Eerrera Mayor RE/dck Dale Carter, was opposed to the allowance of this use because it wouldn't be properly monitored, there is no limit to the stockpiling, and it seems we have nobody who can regulate. He pointed out that when Mr. Fey initially came to the City of Fellsmere on a site 3 miles away that is closer to I-95, there wasn't any conflict with that. Personally, he believed we need competition in this business activity, but the proposed site just is not the place for it. Carol Hendrickson, Fellsmere City Councilwoman, emphasized the residents' objection to the increased truck traffic that would result from this operation. With the 6 or 7 loads a day just from the waste generated by Mr. Fey and another 2 or 3 trucks from other places, that's 10 trucks a day making at least 2 trips each, or 20 daily trips. Moreover, she has heard that people in Brevard County intend to use the proposed facility. Mrs. Hendrickson stressed that Fellsmere doesn't need the added traffic to their town which is just beginning to grow and blossom, and she urged the Board to deny the special exception use. Eleanor Yashewski, advised that she moved here two years ago and is afraid of a serious fire starting at the proposed site. With the incinerator -on the east side of the City, another one at this location would be too much. Harold Platt, stated that he owns the property that Mr. Fey is trying to purchase. His family owns about 1,800 acres around the proposed site. He didn't feel there would be any problem with it 41
