that the Agriculture Advisory Committee and another committee had voted for the nuisance <br />disclosure. <br />Mr. Adair also believed the distance to the property when spraying needs to be <br />considered regarding the density of the buffer. A planted buffer enhances the value and <br />desirability of the property. He felt that nuisance disclosure may be the more important issue. <br />Debb Robinson, vice president of Laurel Homes, stated that she does not own any <br />property that will be affected. She has concern about development within the urban service <br />-b <br />district. She dismissed Mr. Adair's problem as unique as it exists only there. She gave a lengthy <br />presentation giving facts and figures on development cost increases if certain measures are put <br />into place. She believed it would cause artificial inflation of the property prices. She described <br />in detail the full operation of spraying of citrus groves and reasoned the exposure to adjacent <br />homes is minimal. She pointed out that homeowners also spray for pests.

She asked the Commissioners to reconsider <br />and vote against the nuisance disclaimer. <br />Mr. Zorc spoke again briefly in reference to basing the setback on the density and active <br />use of the property. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public <br />hearing. <br />In response to Chairman Eggert`s inquiry, Director Keating advised that new mobile <br />home parks have to be platted and actually have lots like single family developments, so they <br />would be less dense on the perimeter. <br />Commissioner Adams commented that she gets complaints from all over the county, not <br />just from Fellsmere, but the only area concemed in this issue is the urban service area. One of <br />her real fears is that we have assumed development, because it generates more taxes, is good for <br />26 <br />MAY 279 1997 <br />M M M <br />
