Compatibility with Surrounding Uses and Use Restrictions: At <br />the March 10, 1994 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, it <br />was brought out by several surrounding property owners that, <br />due to some of the intense --activity that goes along with <br />active agricultural operations, the proposed use may not be <br />compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses. In <br />addition, some concerns were expressed by owners of <br />surrounding citrus groves regarding the potential danger of <br />the applicant installing caribbean fruit fly host plant <br />material on site. <br />It should be noted that the applicant has been made aware that <br />there are existing, surrounding active agricultural activities <br />that may adversely affect the recreational and residential <br />uses proposed for the site. The applicant has acknowledged <br />this and has addressed the other concerns raised by grove <br />owners in a letter attached to this report as attachment #6. <br />15. Environmental Issues: There are several isolated wetlands on <br />the site. These consist mostly of cypress tree stands. The <br />proposed development will not impact these tree stands. <br />Therefore, no alteration to wetlands is proposed and no <br />wetland resource permit is required. <br />16.
