development by a mere sliver of several feet of RM -6, requires that only type C buffer be enacted. I cannot help but think that this extraordinary piece of Indian River County will be destroyed through construction, noise, lights, traffic, fumes, and all the other unthinkable results of commercialization. To read the editorial section in the Press Journal makes it clear that there are a large number of people in this county who believe that we have much to offer in terms of "way of life." It is understandable that our community leaders wish to enhance the economic prosperity of our community through appropriate and well considered development. I cannot for the life of me understand how the economic environment will be improved when there is commercialization of what is truly a pristine area in this region. A testimony to this fact is the immediate and adjacent locations of the protected jungle trail and the extraordinary efforts of the Environmental Learning Center. It seems more than quite reasonable to leave the pristine areas as they are, attract visitors, and have them spend their money In commercialized locations that are already so designated. As community leaders, you have a significant challenge. Economic growth and development and fiscal responsibility are obviously important facets of your duties. More importantly, however, I feel very strongly that your good names will be served not through the enhancement of the coffers of a few industrialists, but through the legacy that you leave to your children and your grandchildren. Do what you must to support the development of Indian River County, but also consider the preservation of the beauty and uniqueness with which we have been blessed. I hope you will rule favorably for my wife, myself, and my neighbors and the people also affected by this "land swap" and decline the request for additional commercialization of the 510 corridor.
