WAG ~~ ~--1~ . ~'-!~~ fir: • . TO THE TOWN CGUNCIL PILLAGE OF TEQUESTA Nie the undersigned,who live in the immediate vicinity, are strongly opposed to the proposed 18 acre beach site on AlA in Tequest, for the following reasons: 1). This would be a breach of trust to us who bought our homes in this residential neighborhood. ~`ie did~~ot buy to live next to a public beach. 2). This would result in a serious zoning change that would automaticly downgrade property values lower- ing the towns tax base. Also consider; the income on which this towns economy is based, is provided by the very people this proposal would hurt the most. 3 ). This is a stop-~ga.p solutS.on to a county problem. The site is not centrally located. Parking and traffic conditions in this narrow and constricted strip of land would be of major proportions. It would downgrade the pleasure for more people who live in this neighborhood; than it would upgrade the pleasure for those people about whom the proponents feel so concerned.
