11 If <br /> If <br /> PI <br /> I If <br /> IfI <br /> Frank Wegel , Vice President of Friends of the St . Sebastian River, stated they are <br /> opposed to the settlement as proposed and urged the Board to unanimously reject the offer . <br /> Bruce MacIntyre , 701 Shore Drive , stated that , from a very selfish standpoint, he <br /> would hate to see these pristine islands destroyed . That would truly be a crime and <br /> navigation would be severely limited . This is a beautiful area for birds and the proposed <br /> bridges will close the islands to everyone but the new residents . The Pebble Bay Subdivision <br /> will have its real estates values severely affected as it will no longer be possible to bring <br /> decent sized boats into that area . <br /> Tom Nason 735 Bahia Mar Road , noted that anytime local government makes any <br /> changes they are required to notify all the residents in the area . Just because these officials <br /> are located in Tallahassee does not mean that they should not abide by similar rules . He felt <br /> this was a very underhanded way of doing business and did not speak well of the Department <br /> of Community Affairs ( DCA) and others . This development would certainly add to the <br /> pollution in the area . <br /> { <br /> Jens Tripson , 2525 14 " Street , President of the Pelican Island Audubon Society , felt <br /> this is a bad proposal that benefits nobody but the developer . In regard to further dredging <br /> of the channel , the water being deeper would not affect boating as much as the height of the <br /> bridges . There are at least 25 boats in Pebble Bay that would not be able to get out under <br /> these bridges . The bridges would severely affect the traditional use of the waterways and <br /> the environmental impact is totally unacceptable . He asked that the appeals process be <br /> allowed to continue , letting the Court decide the outcome . <br /> a <br /> B ' 2 <br /> JANUARY 30 , 2001 - 8 - <br /> .y r .:X.st. r e j� X <br /> a , a.x' ,h ,^., t G �z #+"- m ,8.�.?X <br /> x X <br /> t I <br /> f , T. <br /> €' r <br /> t <br /> .
