Since January of 1993, I have assigned a deputy on a 24-hour, 7 -day a week basis to the <br />south beach area. I have found the assignment necessary to protect the residents and <br />homes of the south beach area The deputy stays busy answering calls for service, <br />enforcing traffic laws and crime preventative patrols. The proposed retail space may have <br />an adverse effect and cause increased demands for the deputy's time. It is reasonable to <br />believe from past experience that there will be an increase in vehicle accidents, shoplifting, <br />car burglaries and other types of crimes associated with retail and commercial businesses. <br />It is hely that the additional demand will increase response time by the deputy to calls for <br />service from area residents. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gary C. Wheeler, Sheriff <br />Mr. Winne felt the only reasonable outcome from this chaos is <br />the residents' continuing efforts to buy the subject property at a <br />value that is fair to all of the involved parties. <br />Attorney Warren Dill announced the conclusion of their <br />presentation. <br />Chairman Tippin asked if anyone wished to speak in this <br />matter. <br />Tom Buchanan, 1150 Reef Road, opposed a shopping center <br />containing a supermarket. He noted that when he moved to the <br />Moorings back in 1977, he understood that a small shopping center <br />of exclusive shops would be built on this site. He believed that <br />the residents were grandfathered to what the original developer <br />told them. <br />Ann Clark Hickman, 2185 Via Fuentes, expressed concerns about <br />adequate access for emergency vehicles entering the Moorings. She <br />urged the Board to consider how very special the Moorings area is <br />and determine that a Publix is wrong for this area. She wanted the <br />Moorings kept special. <br />106 <br />July 12, 1994 <br />ROOK FELE 880 <br />
