George Beuttell, 5000 16th Street, pointed out that the road is called Ranch Road, <br />not Airport Road, and when Indian River Aerodrome was developed his grove was still <br />active and his family raised no objections. He commented that he had previously come to <br />the Board for an L-1 designation, which is what the property across the street is designated. <br />Because of the neighbors' opposition, they withdrew that request and are now applying for <br />a density of 1 unit per acre which is more compatible with the area. This would be a good <br />buffer for all the properties in that area. <br />Anthony Lancaster, 74' Avenue, stated that his family has owned a ranch in that <br />area for 30 years and is opposed to the development. If you put 80 single-family homes in <br />that area with cows, you will have problems. Also, the airplanes do acrobatics in that area <br />and there would be problems with noise and the possibility of crashes into homes. <br />John Schumann, 8225 5t' Street SW, noted that this land is surrounded by <br />agricultural land and commercial/industrial land. Indian River Aerodrome was developed <br />in that area because it was a remote location and they were assured that it would be <br />surrounded with agricultural lands as a buffer zone. He expressed his concern that a housing <br />development located directly under the Aerodrome's traffic pattern would result in <br />complaints about engine noise. He asked the Board to accept the recommendations of the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission and staff to deny this request. <br />B. J. McClure, 395 IN ieuport Drive, stated that no one is trying to restrict Mr. <br />Beuttell's right to development of his land but everyone is concerned about the high density <br />being requested. The last time he checked there were in excess of 2,000 parcels for sale in <br />this county at 3 units per acre within the urban service area which would not indicate a need <br />JULY 16, 2002 <br />063 <br />
