F,"- U [ 2 7 wr, BOOK 90 PAGE 54 -7 I feel that the Oslo Road corridor should be included in the Land Use Plan change due to the fact that this land along the corridor does lie within the j mile corridor of the U.S.A. utility expansion program. Most importantly, by allowing the one unit per acre density development will be efficient and facilitate the economical use of the utility lines that are going to be installed in this corridor. development will enable the repayment of the cost of installing these lines in the neighboring right-of-ways. And, as Indicated by staff in it's April 16th, 1993 memorandum, "the net increase in the total number units over the proposed 3200 acres would not exceed the building permits issued in the year$ 1990 thru 1992". "Thgreby, including the entire_ 3200 acres as originally Proposed would not increase the counties allocation ratio." Thus, I eat in favor of including the Oslo Road carrldor in the proposed land use change from AG -1 to R, or increasing the allowable houbiriy Units from i per 5 acrea to 1 rosidsnce per 1 acre. T feel this land use change would be a benefit to all, better utilization of the utilitida, employment opportunitica, and an increased tax base for the county. As a suggestion, if some people still do not want to be included in the comprehensive plan change., then leave them out and give my property the increased use designation. I apologize for not being able to attend this meeting in person. Chairman Bird announced that he received a telephone call from Mr. and Mrs. Barney Green who are in favor of the proposed change. The Chairman opened the public discussion and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Freda Hoppe, 1140 66th Avenue, noted that the current plan excludes her property but she would like it to be included in the change. Clausson P. Lexow, 3540 North Hills Drive, Hollywood, Florida, represented Southeast Citrus Capital Corporation which owns and manages about 1,000 acres of groves in St. Lucie and Indian River Counties, and approximately 500 of those acres would be affected by this change. He was in favor of the proposed change to the R land use designation and suggested that the same designation be on both sides of the street. He felt that staff's concern about the impact of the residential allocation ratio could change. Speaking from the perspective of a developer, he thought that 3 units to an acre makes it economically feasible to endure assessments. He thought that three units per acre allows for a respectable residential development and would not add unreasonable trips to the road. 18 � � v
