Who benefits from all these zoning changes? They don’t just wake up one morning and decide it’s a good day to do it. Are the property owners selling to the developers and the developers asking for the changes? Maybe a Commissioner could answer why this has even come to the table. Beulah has been ruined by development and not enough roads and utilities have been updated to go along with the growth. The psychology has been change it/build it/fix stuff later. No prior information and no vote by the citizens— just worthless meeting The ole saying is follow the $$. Who benefits from all these zoning changes?

County planning and greed has ruined Cantonment. The roads out here cant maintain the volume and yet they allow more and more subdivisions to be built. There are no developer impact fees, thus no preplanning to support the needed expansion of fire, EMS, or law enforcement. That means the taxpayers, not the developers will pick up those fees. The mess here should be a warning to everyone else. It’s coming to you. Greed is a powerfully motivated machine of destruction. I have been of the opinion the Citizens of Cantonment should incorporate the area in order to be done with the negative and destructive influence of the county commission. Anyone want to start the petition? @ Jacqueline Amen! County planning and greed has ruined Cantonment.

THIS is what WILL HAPPEN, some yuppie moves in a subdivision, adjoining an agriculture producing field and files lawsuit on farmer for these things: Ag operations have smells, noises, dust, and substances used that aren’t always compatible with residential subdivisions. Thousands of acres are used as well for hunting. Same scenario will happen, "he shooting at my house, my kids are outside" Just look at Nine Mile and Beulah how well the county manages growth. NO TO THIS Mr. Barry Jacqueline, you are correct.

Rural areas were vehemently opposed to governments Putting ANY land use and zoning rules. The rallying cry was that people should be left alone to build as much as they wanted... everyone wanted no restrictions on densities at all! Takings! Communism! Leave us alone to build and subdivide as we please! Thirty years later, and people are now throwing up their hands at proposals to increase densities because they DON’T want more development, more residents/people moving in, and overwhelming the quality of life of country low density living, and city life. My, my, how the pendulum swings. As was asked in the meetings of the 1990’s, “What do you envision This community looking like in 10, 20, even 30 years from now?” That question is now back before you. And instead of grumping and complaining, maybe it’s time to take that question very, VERY seriously, lest, indeed, it becomes all urbanized, especially from Molino Park Elementary and south. Closing thought: Imagine 15 new traffic signals between Molino and Cantonment, and no service roads! In the early 1990’s, the state of Florida was having counties implement the Growth Management Act.

I understand there has to be growth but at some point there has to be a line drawn. We all live out here for a reason. If they change the zoning they will continue to keep changing it to fit 1 parcel to every .34 of a acre just like Pensacola. We don't want the city life. We don't want the clogged traffic unless its because you are behind a tractor that works on the farm. We all wanted that farm life. To enjoy nature. We pay higher taxes out here which is ok because you have to pay for what you want. I don't want a bunch of subdivisions & trailer parks or low income houses. That what the city has & that's why we don't live in the city. If the vote (should i say pretend to)to re-zone our beautiful country side retreat , it will ruin the life we sought to live out here.
