Re: Conditional Use Request by Florida Land Company, c-1 to construct
multi-family dwellings; SE Corner of SR 434 and Moss Road (part
Lots 52 & 53, Block liD", D. R. Mitchell Survey).
Honorable Board of Adjustment:
As you may be aware I own the 3.5 acres across Moss Road from the
above property. Last year I received a conditional use for multi-
family dwellings on my C-1 property. However, I have had second thoughts
about this approval. In just a one block radius of this property a
myriad of multi~family dwelling units have already been built. In
addition, approval has been granted to build the 119 unit Winter Springs
Elderly Congregate Living Facility on Moss Road behind the Barnett
Bank. I really question how many multi-family units this area can
support.
The drain on the City's services (Police, Fire, etc.) is much greater
for residential than for commercial. In addition, ad valorem tax
revenue for the City inherently is greater for the City from commercial
enterprises rather than multi~fami1y residences on the same property.
Annual occupational license fees are paid into the City General Fund
from businesses in commercial zoning whereas no such income is enjoyed
by the City from multi-family residences.
I do not reside in Hacienda Village. However, I am sure they are not
overjoyed with the prospect of being contiguous to a multi-sttmrjl'iapart-
ment house (quadraplex) with renters staring down at them in the
evening.
Obviously, I am in opposition to thi:s request. I apologize for not
attending this meeting but mitigating circumstances preclude my presence,
Your time and consideration regarding this matter is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully Submitted,
