He realized that all of it <br />eventually will be developed, but until that time comes, they <br />should be allowed to operate as a citrus venture. He had a problem <br />with the statement that once development comes in there, aerial <br />spraying would be out. He didn't think that was quite the case. <br />If it is, they might as well hang it up right now. Mr. Elliott <br />just wanted to voice his opinion on this issue and he thanked the <br />Board for their consideration. <br />Chairman Adams expressed concern about aerial spraying being <br />too close to the homes because of the drift, and Mr. Elliott gave <br />assurance that the material used is very, very safe and it doesn't <br />harm anyone.

She felt that in this <br />case, where the development is totally surrounded by citrus and the <br />owner of the development willing to participate in this, we should <br />go ahead with just the way it is recommended. <br />County Attorney Charles Vitunac advised -that the special <br />conditions protect the public, whereas deed restrictions protect <br />the internal people; therefore, he felt that Code Enforcement is <br />the proper method of enforcement for special conditions.
