I was gonna hammer Barry on his yes vote for the ruination of rural life in favor of developers. Thank you for being there and for calling him out on his greed. We were going to wait, however, we're moving to rural Santa Rosa County and renting our home here on property in my family almost a century. It's sad and I hate it but commissioners and country yuppies have made it so. @Jacqueline & Litmus Test

I was unable to attend the meeting due to a problem at work. I was gonna hammer Barry on his yes vote for the ruination of rural life in favor of developers. Thank you for being there and for calling him out on his greed. We were going to wait, however, we’re moving to rural Santa Rosa County and renting our home here on property in my family almost a century. It’s sad and I hate it but commissioners and country yuppies have made it so.

Comm. Barry is maintaining that the initial zoning of Rural Residential will keep properties at one house per every four acre, but when I asked him if people would not be allowed to upzone from there, he couldn't deny that they would be able to request that. Comm. Barry thinks that the BCC should make development decisions on a case by case basis. There was no required analysis done by staff for this change. It has nothing to do with "home rule" as the Comprehensive Plan was developed by the Board of County Commissioners with local PUBLIC HEARINGS. The LOCAL Planning Board denied the change unanimously 5-0. There was no justification for this change except that a developer, J. Miller, could not get the upzoning that he wanted to build his subdivision after he bought timberland and Mr. Barry thought that was unfair. And "Watcher", Comm. Bergosh is wrong again as, with that appeal, we were able to stop Light Industrial uses from being established in Mixed Use Suburban areas but, then again, you knew that. Half truths are both your specialties. Too bad you both always comment anonymously.

The family farm can not stand alone against Big Corporate Organizations. The corporation has a staff of dedicated lawyers, Lots of Money, and Lobbyist working on behalf of corporate interest. What will the single family farm owner do to resist all of these resources. Barry says trust me the board and I will look out for you. Since he just took away your right to fight in court. The citizens need to wake up Don't wait until you receive a letter from Out of State that says to you "Florida laws provide rights for surveyors and engineers to enter upon an owner's land to support public infrastructure planning activities. Translated it means They don't need your permission to enter and/or use your land in the public interest. Land use regulation protect individual rights of land owners.
