We find it very difficult to believe that the Council would ever consider a plan that not only creates an increased danger to breakins in the community, but also increases the possibility of personal danger to the citizens as they travel in the area. If the Council wishes to consider' actions on the lighting in the Tuscawilla Development we believe you should consider increasing the number of lights, as discussed in the recent Association meeting. ~. We realize that there have been problems with inefficient lighting within the City of Winter Springs, and we are in agreement that these problems should be corrected. However, correcting'problems in one area of the City at the expense of another area is no solution. We understand that the proposal is to turn off lights that are considered not essential. We believe every light in this community is essential; not only for safety reasons, but also to maintain the aesthetic value necessary for the continuation of sales required for the completion of this Development. The fact that a light may be next to a vacant lot today doesn't mean that the lot will be vacant tomorrow. There is continuous building within the community, and all lots are available for contractors to cnnstruct new homes. We desire that you consider this proposal very carefully and come to the same conclusion as the Tuscawilla Homeo\vners' Executive Committee that none of the lights should be turned off. Yours truly, \/A-/~cP.9I-~P Robert O. Williams .. 1st Vice President Tuscawilla Homeowners' Association r\, ROW/sg '- r (" r\ r ." '> "- r ~. ROUGH DRAFT SECTION 1.
