DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Development Services Director's Report None at this time. 6. ADJOURN There being no further business to discuss the meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. Minutes Respectfully Submitted by: Bonnie Brown, Senior Planner Page 5City of Edgewater Printed on 11/19/2020 1. My first objection to buildings across the street from my home at 3424 India Palm in Edgewater is that my property will be devalued. My house is an attractive family home that is grouped at the end of the street next to 35`h street. Across the street from me is a forest area with Florida trees and a swamp. It is the Florida that I grew up with in the Fifties. 2. 1 am a Florida native. One of the reasons that I moved here is that across the street from me looks like Florida. Now the trees and swamp will be torn up and made into housing that is not the same quality as mine. 3. Multi -residence housing that is perched on the edge of the railroad track — precisely where the whistle blows several times a day will not be desirable property. 4. 1 understand the real estate market and the need to house more people in Florida and in Edgewater, but I also realize that such housing as that proposed does not lend itself to quality neighborhoods. If you compared the police calls to the multi -residence neighborhood north of 30`h Street on India Palm, you would probably find that the incidence of calls is higher than other places in Edgewater. 5. Yes, I live adjacent to a duplex — and the window shades are torn up and ugly and I have to see those every day. The yard is seldom mowed. The children's swimming pool is upside down and the yard is unkempt. I have first hand experience with this type of neighborhood life. 6. Florida Shores has been in existence since the 50s. It was designed as affordable homes, attractively landscaped and well kept for families of moderate means. You can certainly see the difference between those homes that were built to a standard that's acceptable and those that were hastily built for profit, with no thought to esthetics. These exist in several areas in "the Shores." They are often less than standard. 3�a� r1dI a` Pa Lry-) RECEIVED NOV 10 2020 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
