40 <br />40 <br />of <br />plan for the ever increasing needs of its residents including the <br />ability to determine which land is suitable for future development <br />and which land, considering all factors unique to the community, <br />is currently considered developed. The proposed delineation of <br />undeveloped land by the Department of Interior is a broad brushed <br />approach to a traditionally local matter, and <br />WHEREAS, the process of planning for future growth at <br />the local level requires careful technical and scientific evalua- <br />tion of the effects of development and the best methods to meet <br />the development's impacts several years in advance. In this pro- <br />cess counties must provide capital expansion projects to meet <br />water, sewer, road and school needs. Both the County and the <br />City of Vero Beach in their planning efforts have oversized cer- <br />tain facilities (i.e. water and sewer lines, power transmission <br />lines, etc.) to enable them to provide essential services in the <br />future to much of the area delineated as undeveloped. These pro- <br />jects have been made possible by the use of studies showing that <br />the areas delineated as "undeveloped" will someday become contri- <br />butors to the system. The proposed designation of lands pre- <br />viously earmarked by the community for "planned growth" as <br />"undeveloped" will impede the orderly expansion of necessary <br />government services, and <br />WHEREAS, a substantial portion of the Barrier Island <br />tentatively designated as undeveloped is composed of citrus groves <br />which have existed since the turn of the century and are a vital <br />part of the Indian River County economic community. The citrus <br />land is an intensive agricultural use constituting a highly <br />developed status of land use with an infrastructure of attendant <br />structures, roads, canals, and irriqation systems which have <br />significantly changed the land's natural geomorphic and ecological <br />processes and do not fall within the definition of undeveloped <br />coastal barrier, and <br />WHEREAS, the Department of Interior's interpretation of <br />the definition of undeveloped coastal barrier does not adequately <br />provide for the status of citrus properties, and <br />WHEREAS, it appears that the Federal government is <br />-2- <br />
