SEBASTIAN <br />RIVER AREA WE WISH TO PROTEST THE OPERATION OF A 35 PASS- <br />ENGER AIRBOAT IN THE SOUTH AND NORTH PRONGS OF THE ST. <br />SEBASTIAN RIVER, A CONSERVATION AREA AND AQUATIC PRESERVE. <br />WE ALSO BELIEVE THIS AIRBOAT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'S NOISE ORDINANCE NO.90 16 1 9/11/90. <br />NAME ADDRESS TEL, <br />C. a �.�•S_ >/ <br />C �GSC(Qnd JCd. � DS I:2 Y] 1 �L aS �--�SL.aZ <br />r <br />ORIGINAL PETITIONS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE <br />OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Mr. Wegel asked the Board to consider that the zoning along the river is residential <br />and the river is a back street to the people who live there. He questioned whether the Board <br />would allow trucks making that amount of noise in that neighborhood. <br />George Koraly, 986 Riverview Drive, Micco, noted there is no question the airboats <br />have an affect on the environment. The prop blast blows into the underbrush where <br />songbirds are nesting and he believed the airboats should be banned. <br />Pat Beega, 10895 Roseland Road, believed everyone -has rights but when one <br />improperly uses the waterway, it creates hazardous conditions for others. Cautions should <br />be posted for the small boats using the area as well as the Boy Scouts in 6 man canoes. <br />These airboats have no reverse and no way to stop. He believed if the wilderness tours are <br />allowed to continue, there will be accidents. The majority of people in his community see <br />this as a safety problem and believe if airboats were operating in the vicinity of Johns Island <br />we would not be here discussing this. He urged the Board to ban the airboats. <br />JUNE 211998 <br />-65- �,r .1 •fid <br />
