that the Moorings should have a street lighting system that serves everyone. It is his opinion that the cost of street lighting is well worth the benefits. George Shaw, 1060 Reef Road, announced that his home is in the area adjacent to Floralton Beach, which has street lights. He stated that the difference between his area and the Floralton Beach area is literally the difference between night and day, and he felt that street lights should be installed throughout the Moorings. DeLoss Blackburn, 300 Harbour Drive, representing Porpoise Bay Villas Association, was opposed to including Porpoise Bay in the assessment. He explained that all of the units along Harbour Drive within Porpoise Bay are one story high, and he felt that light poles which are 20 feet in height are inconsistent with the aesthetics of the area. He reported that questionnaires were mailed to the Porpoise Bay condominium owners, and 82% of those who responded voted to exclude Porpoise Bay from the assessment. The property owners in Porpoise Bay are in the process of placing white fluorescent bulbs in their light posts along Harbour Drive, which they believe will provide adequate lighting for the area. He stated that if more lights are needed, the residents of Porpoise Bay will install them. They do not want to help pay for public street lights in other areas of the Moorings. Ralph Church, 1776 Mooringline Drive, spoke in favor of the street lights. He reported that he is a member of the Board of Directors of the Moorings Property Owners Association and is responsible for security. Goldstar Security patrols the area regularly, and management of Goldstar has recommended that street lights be installed. Jack MacLean, 139 Anchor Drive, president of the Moorings Property Owners Association (P.O.A.), recounted that the Moorings was developed as a series of individual sections, some with street lights and some without street lights. The Moorings P:O.A. decided that the fairest solution was for all the residents to contribute to the cost of street lights. He stressed that bringing a shopping center into the Moorings will create a greater security problem, and street lights will become even more important. Bernice Hebert, 2006 Windward Way, felt that everybody in the Moorings will benefit from street lights and should help pay for them. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing. 13 BOOK 92 PACE 37 L_ APR - 51994 J
