We have lived in Winter Springs for nearly seventeen years. We chose to live in Dunmar Estates because we wanted to "live in the country," which is what Winter Springs was when we arrived. We realize that the world changes and progress will always cause change, but we are hopeful that you will help us retain this beautiful environment and vote against this variance. A lot of money and time has been spent on development of city plans and zoning. What was the point of establishing a comprehensive zoning plan if anyone can get a variance from it? In Dunmar Estates we have 5 acre lots and we obviously could all profit from asking for variances and subdividing our lots, but we feel it is important to preserve some ambiance of country instead. We live in a beautiful area which is home to an abundance of wildlife. Approving this variance will do a huge disservice to those of us whose taxes have paid for this zoning plan. Please do not allow this variance. Thank you. /~/ William and Barbara Bischof Cc: Mayor Bush David McLeod, President, Dunmar Homeowners Association Winter Springs City Commission
